Their true feelings revealed: the beastly husbands are working themselves to the bone every night.

Chapter 194 194 Seemingly an Old Friend Returns 10
Su Mo was unaware that Xuan Qing had left home the next morning.

I was later woken up by the ringing of the telephone.

As soon as the call connected, Xiao Jiu's excited voice came through: "Su Mo, why haven't you come to the clinic yet? We've been waiting for you for ages."

"I'm a little tired, I won't go to the clinic today," Su Mo said, her voice slightly hoarse.

Xiao Jiu paused for a moment upon hearing this, then coughed lightly and said, "Then I'll come to your place this evening and pick you and Sister Ying up for dinner. Ever since you started dating Xuan Qing, we've been having fewer get-togethers."

Su Mo mumbled in a daze, "Okay."

In the evening, Fu Ying drove Xiao Jiu to pick up Su Mo, and the three of them went to a small bar.

Seeing the marks Su Mo hadn't covered up, Fu Ying couldn't help but complain, "Isn't your man a little too possessive? He truly lives up to his reputation as a top-tier succubus, one of him is worth several! Can he handle this?"

Su Mo awkwardly took a sip of the fruit wine in front of her: "No, it's not that bad."

Fu Ying chuckled and said, "I was originally planning to introduce you to a few more young men under the age of twenty-five, but it seems I should wait for now."

After all, there's another dragon in line, and that's a top-tier succubus... she might not be easy to deal with either.

"By the way, when is Longyan coming back? It's been so long. Does he not know about you and Xuanqing?"

“He still has some trivial matters to resolve. He knows about my situation; he found out at the beginning of the year.”

Fu Ying raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking to herself, Long Yan is really calm, which is in line with his mild-mannered nature.

Xiao Jiu listened anxiously from the side, thinking how incredibly carefree Long was!

Later, it got too noisy inside, and Su Mo didn't even notice her phone ringing in her bag.

Su Mo was still slightly tipsy after drinking too much fruit wine.

Seeing her flushed face, Fu Ying stopped her from drinking anymore.

She looked at the lit-up phone screen in Su Mo's bag and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Your phone is ringing!"

Su Mo casually took out her phone, and when she saw the name on it, she frowned slightly and made a gesture to be quiet.

"Hello, Xuanqing?"

As soon as the call connected, there was silence on the other end. After a few seconds, he asked in a calm tone, "Are you outside?"

"Hmm~" Su Mo said with a smile; "With Fu Ying and Xiao Jiu."

I seemed to hear him sigh and say, "Don't drink too much. There's no one to take care of you when I'm not home."

Su Mo was a little drunk, but not excessively so.

She muttered to herself while holding the phone, "Men's words are just lies..."

At home, all he does is torment her in different ways; he doesn't know how to take care of her at all. Humph!

Upon hearing this, the person on the other end chuckled and said, "Go home early and call me when you get home."

"Good~"

After Su Mo hung up the phone, she saw Fu Ying looking at her with a meaningful smile.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I was thinking, maybe we should have urged you to start dating a couple of years ago, to gain some experience, so you wouldn't have encountered a top-tier succubus right after leaving the beginner's village. After that, how could those little puppies compete for a spot?"

Xiao Jiu nodded, expressing her deepest agreement. To be honest, she was starting to worry about Long Yan.

Later, Xiao Jiu accompanied Su Mo back home. When they got home, Su Mo was already asleep. Xiao Jiu took Su Mo's phone and sent a message to Xuan Qing, telling him that Su Mo had been safely returned and that she would stay to take care of her that night.

Xuanqing quickly replied with a message.

Besides expressing gratitude, there were also some of Su Mo's habits when she was drunk, the words were brief but detailed.

Xiao Jiu stared blankly at the message; Xuan Qing's understanding of Su Mo seemed to be beyond her imagination.

The days passed uneventfully.

One morning, a strange patient suddenly came to Su Mo's small clinic; to be precise, it was a fox.

A nine-tailed fox that was injured and unable to transform into human form.

When Su Mo opened the door in the morning, she saw it lying by the door with its tail tucked in. There was a large patch of red blood on its abdomen, and it smelled of rotting flesh.

She frowned and squatted down, looking at the fox's wounds with a frown: "Hey, little fox, wake up?"

The fox, which had been sleeping peacefully, slowly opened its fox eyes.

What beautiful eyes! Su Mo was stunned for a moment.

The next moment, the fox on the ground struggled to walk towards her, its weak body seemingly glistening with tears.

It subconsciously rubbed against Su Mo's leg, whimpering pitifully.

Su Mo felt a sudden tenderness in her heart, bent down to pick it up, opened the door, and placed it on the examination bed next to her.

"How did you get so badly injured? Did you come into contact with some kind of highly corrosive water?" Su Mo patted its head reassuringly. "Lie down quietly, I'll take care of it for you, and it won't hurt in a little while."

The little fox whimpered and waited obediently, its fox eyes following her retreating figure closely.

Su Mo retrieved the surgical instruments, put on gloves, and began to treat its wounds.

"Don't worry, I'm a very skilled doctor, I'll definitely suture it beautifully for you~"

"Woo~"

The fox responded with a whimper, as if to say, "I believe you."

After treating its wound, Su Mo carried it to the bed inside and said, "I'll give you an IV drip, so you can get some rest. The wound is still recovering, so try to minimize your activity."

As she finished inserting the needle and turned to leave, a fox tail suddenly wrapped around her wrist.

Su Mo smiled slightly, "Don't be afraid, I'm right outside."

The fox's tail rubbed against her palm, then another tail wrapped around her leg, followed by the others which came into her palm.

The fuzzy texture made Su Mo's heart itch.

Su Mo looked at his distinct hair and reached out to stroke it soothingly: "Good boy, I have things to do."

"Woo~"

The fox whimpered, tucked its tail in, and looked at her with lingering reluctance in its bright fox eyes.

Su Mo's small clinic is always very busy; once she gets busy, she can't stay idle.

When the crowd thinned out, it was lunchtime.

The small restaurant next door had already delivered lunch, and Su Mo and her two employees sat down to eat.

The little fox, its body weak, staggered out and squatted down at Su Mo's feet, staring at her with its beautiful fox eyes.

Su Mo smiled slightly, realizing she had almost forgotten about it.

I bent down, picked it up, and put a portion on a plate for it: "Eat up."

The fox lowered its head and ate its meal quietly.

After he finished eating, he quietly crawled onto her lap and fell asleep against her stomach.

Su Mo didn't notice the fox that suddenly appeared in her arms. When she looked down, the fox was already asleep on her knees.

The employee across from her laughed and said, "Sister Mo, where did this little fox come from? It's quite adorable."

"I found it at the door. It was injured, so I brought it in to treat it."

Su Mo stroked the fox's tail and said with a smile, "Until it recovers, let it stay at the small clinic for now."

The fox lay quietly nestled in Su Mo's belly, unusually docile.

Upon hearing this, his eyelids twitched slightly.

He doesn't want to stay at a small clinic.

　Just wondering... does anyone still think Jiang Wu is alive? It's been mentioned more than once before that Jiang Wu died, the Beast World perished, and she entered a cycle of reincarnation. This time, the Beast World wasn't destroyed, nor was it trapped in an endless cycle of reincarnation. What was her fate? You should be able to understand that, right?
