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

Chapter 97 097 I woke up to find the sky had fallen.

Tianhuan rushed into the house in a panic: "Someone has trespassed into the forbidden area behind the mountain."

Xuan Shuang frowned slightly and asked in a cold voice, "Have you found the person? Is anything missing?"

"The clan defense map has been stolen!"

"What?" Xuan Shuang frowned and asked, "What are those guards doing?!"

"They were all drugged; the other side's sleeping pills were very potent."

"Do you know what you're talking about? The ones I left behind are all fifth and sixth-tier orcs! They can't even resist a little bit of sleeping potion?"

Tianhuan frowned and said, "It is somewhat unbelievable, but it is indeed the case. They... don't even know what happened."

Upon hearing this, even the usually composed Xuan Wei couldn't sit still any longer: "They didn't even get a clear look at the faces of the people who attacked them? In other words, they didn't even engage in direct combat with them? They took our defense map so easily without losing a single soldier?"

Tianhuan frowned and remained silent.

There was a moment of silence in the study. After all, the defense map had been stolen, and the fact that the other party had stolen it so easily was no small matter.

Xuanqing said, "Now is not the time to talk about these things. Immediately summon the tribal generals to come and adjust the defenses. In addition, we need to arrange for people to investigate any suspicious persons from today."

Tianhuan frowned: "I think if we're going to investigate, we should start with Miss Su and her fiancés. Our defense map has always been heavily guarded, so how come the things were lost as soon as they came? Moreover, our people near the forbidden area caught a whiff of her fiancés' scent. This is too much of a coincidence!"

Just then, Bai Chi led the tribal generals, their faces grave, into the study.

Bai Chi looked at Xuan Shuang and said in a heavy tone, "Second Miss, a suspicious force is approaching the tribe's border! The most important thing right now may not be adjusting the defensive layout, but preparing to defend against the enemy!"

Xuanwei frowned and said, "It seems they came prepared!"

Tianhuan angrily said, "I think Su Mo and those guys might be in cahoots with Jin Tong! Last time it was just a show for us, just to infiltrate and steal our defense map! Su Mo's poison-making skills are superior to Jin Tong's, so sleeping pills are a piece of cake for her!"

Bai Chi frowned, wanting to say something, but then hesitated and didn't know what to say.

He hoped that Miss Su and her several fiancés were unrelated to this matter.

Xuan Shuang's expression was solemn, and doubts arose in her heart.

She insisted on inviting this person, and if the theft of the defense map is related to Su Mo and the others, she will also be held responsible.

Xuan Qing paused for a moment and said, "Don't jump to conclusions before the matter is fully investigated. The most important thing right now is to find a way to resolve the current crisis."

Xuan Shuang, along with Bai Chi and Tian Huan, discussed strategies to defend against the enemy. Soon after, Bai Chi and Tian Huan led their men out to set up the defenses.

Inside the study, Xuan Shuang asked Xuan Qing, "What are your thoughts?"

Xuan Qing said calmly, "If they really came for the defense map, they wouldn't have needed to make such a big fuss. In my opinion, neither that Miss Su nor her fiancés are stupid enough to be this foolish."

Xuanwei glanced at Xuanshuang and said, "Before we took our seats, I felt the pulse of that Miss Su. She was poisoned by a strange poison. I'm afraid she has other plans for coming here."

"She's been poisoned? With her expertise in poisons, who else could have poisoned her?"

Xuanwei shook her head and said, "That's hard to say. Anyway, among the people I know, no one can cure this poison. Her constitution is different from ordinary people. It's a miracle that she's still alive. Recently, there seem to be signs of a backlash. During the banquet, I saw that her fiancés all looked worried. They must be troubled about how to cure her poison."

Xuanwei frowned: "Could it be that our tribe has the antidote they want?"

"In my opinion, this poison is incurable, but they must have come for the 'Beauty's Smile' this time."

Hearing this, Xuan Shuang frowned and sneered: "They really dare to think that way. Even if I were willing to give it to them, we'd have to see if they dare to eat it!"

With that, she flicked her sleeves and strode out. The most important thing right now was to deal with the approaching enemy.

Since Su Mo and the others are currently in the Tiger Clan tribe, if the defense map was indeed their doing, she has her own ways to make sure they can't escape!

Su Mo didn't know how long she had slept, only that when she woke up, Yueying, Feiyan, Moxiao, and Canglan were all standing in her room.

Seeing that she was awake, Mo Xiao, who was standing closest to her, helped her up and handed her a glass of water.

Su Mo drank some water and said, "Why didn't any of you wake me up?"

It's one thing to oversleep at home, but it's a bit inappropriate to be out here.

Fei Yan frowned slightly and said, "Since we can't leave for the time being, why not let my wife sleep a little longer?"

Su Mo asked in confusion, "Aren't you going back?"

Yueying frowned and explained, "We probably can't go back for now. Something happened to the Tiger Clan tribe. We're suspects now, and we can't leave for the time being."

"What?" She looked at Mo Xiao beside her with a puzzled expression.

Mo Xiao nodded and said, "A fight has broken out outside. We are currently under heavy guard and cannot get out for the time being."

Su Mo found it unbelievable. She had only slept for a short while, how could the sky have fallen again?!
[I should never have come to this meal! And now I'm being restricted again?! I hate being restricted more than anything in my life!!!]

[They can fight all they want, but why are they trapping us?]

Mo Xiao explained again: "The Tiger Clan's defense map was stolen. They must suspect that we are colluding with outsiders. Since we did indeed mistakenly enter their forbidden area, it's probably difficult to explain in a short time."

Su Mo: "Why did you accidentally enter their forbidden area?"

Fei Yan explained, "The sea doctor once said that the Tiger Clan might have a medicinal herb that could cure the poison in my wife's body, so we came here today to find out. We never expected to encounter something like this."

Su Mo frowned and remained silent. It was too late to say anything now. From the Tiger Clan's perspective, they were indeed suspects.

The timing of their loss was really bad... I'm being unfairly blamed for this!

She rubbed her forehead and asked, "How's the fighting outside going?"

"The enemy is coming with great force, and the Tiger Clan will likely have a very difficult time in this battle. They are clearly well-prepared and know their tactics well."

Just as Mo Xiao finished speaking, another group of wounded people were dragged back from outside.

Their injuries were extremely severe, and they were also poisoned; all of them looked extremely pained.

Xuanwei was leading people to clean their wounds and brew medicine, but as the number of injured people increased, she was already overwhelmed with work.

Su Mo frowned in thought.

[This person is quite cunning. They stole the defense map from the Tiger Clan while we were there, and then launched a powerful attack. Their next step is probably to make us fight the remaining Tiger Clan members. This is a brilliant two-birds-with-one-stone strategy!]

Yueying glanced out the window and asked, "My lady, shall we go out and help now?"

Su Mo glanced at the situation outside but didn't rush to speak.

Mo Xiao calmly said, "Wait a little longer."

If they go out now, the Tiger Clan will only think they are trying to cause trouble and won't believe them at all.

The situation will not only fail to improve in the slightest, but will become even more tense.

Su Mo remained silent, clearly agreeing with Mo Xiao's point of view.

Even if we want to help, there's no rush.

[Damn it, I just wanted to be a quiet cannon fodder player, but these people insist on carrying me through high-level matches? Fine, then let's flip the table! If you can't let me live in peace, then nobody can live in peace!!!]
