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

Chapter 54 054 This is the person you are so determined to protect.

Su Mo hadn't expected that Lan Ling, this dragon, would be so obsessed with love.

He really risked everything for that female, A-Yun.

For a moment, I didn't know whether to call him too naive or too stupid!
The strategist looked at Lanling, who was forced to kneel on the ground, with a grim expression.

Long Yan's expression wasn't very good either, his deep eyes filled with disappointment.

When Su Mo told him about the plan, she clearly stated that Mo Xiao did not have any love potion.

This kind of lie can only fool those who have a guilty conscience.

Longyan had doubts at the time about whether her method would actually work.

But she said, "Major General, never underestimate the darkness and fragility of human nature. Some things are clear to onlookers but confusing to those involved. Lies that sound absurd to us may be believed by those involved. Set a trap and test it, and you will know the truth."

Longyan never expected that before the three-day deadline had even passed, the instigator would actually walk right into the trap.

Lan Ling knelt there, looking at Su Mo in the crowd, her eyes filled with resentment.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I lost. I'm willing to accept the loss. Miss Su, you can take my life as you please!"

The strategist, looking at Lan Ling's fearless attitude, said with exasperation, "Commander, you are utterly foolish!"

Lan Ling dared not look into the old strategist's disappointed eyes, and lowered his head, saying, "Lan Ling has made a mistake and is willing to accept punishment! Please, Major General, remove me from my position as commander!"

From the moment A-Yun came to him crying and begging him to help her contact people on the black market to buy the antidote, his heart died.

He couldn't believe that the person he had cherished for so many years had actually betrayed him.

Undeterred, he asked her if she had seduced Mo Xiao that day. When she knelt at his feet and tearfully admitted it, he truly went mad.

Although Lanling was disappointed, he couldn't bear to see A-Yun in any danger because of the years they had grown up together.

So even though it was a trap, he still jumped in.

He had originally planned to apologize to the Major General once the Gu poison in A-Yun's body was cured, but now it seems that everything was already part of that female named Su Mo's plan.

Su Mo squinted at the person kneeling on the ground and asked coldly, "Commander, your deep affection for your beloved, willing to go through fire and water, is truly moving. However, this desperate gamble is far too foolish! Since you are willing to pay with your life for her, then I will..."

"Miss Su!"

The strategist spoke up promptly: "Could we speak in private?"

Lan Ling's expression shifted slightly as he looked at the strategist and Long Yan, saying, "Lan Ling has failed the trust of the strategist and the major general! I have no way to repay your kindness in nurturing me! Taking responsibility for A-Yun is my personal idea, so please, strategist, say no more!"

The strategist gave him a cold, annoyed look, but still bowed slightly to Su Mo and said, "Miss Su, please."

Su Mo glanced at the stubborn Lan Ling, then followed the old strategist to the side.

Canglan, standing to the side, squinted at Lanling on the ground, wishing he could finish him off immediately!
Fei Yan glanced at him discreetly, signaling him not to make any rash moves.

A moment later, Su Mo and the strategist returned to their original positions.

Lan Ling looked coldly at Su Mo and said, "No matter what the strategist said to you, I stand by our bet! I'm willing to bear the consequences for A-Yun!"

Su Mo sneered: "Lord Lanling has quite the spirit, actually willing to exchange one life for another. It's a pity that the person you're willing to give your life for may not appreciate it!"

"Whether she accepts it or not, I'll accept it. We loved each other, and I don't owe her anything."

"Foolish!" Su Mo rebuked coldly, "You naturally don't owe her anything, but you owe the people of the Dragon Clan! You owe the strategist! You owe the Major General! Let me ask you, for the sake of one A-Yun, where do you place the entire Dragon Clan?!"

"Don't give me that ridiculous 'I'd rather betray the world than betray you' act. You think it's a heroic act of saving a damsel in distress? To others, it's nothing more than a willful and reckless childish game!"

“A truly upright orc should prioritize the greater good, protect those who deserve protection, and shoulder the responsibilities that should be borne! If all of your subordinates are like you, throwing aside their responsibilities for the sake of momentary impulses, then I think the Dragon Clan doesn’t need to defend itself anymore; it might as well be disbanded.” Lan Ling’s eyes flashed slightly, and his head exploded as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over his head.

He looked at Su Mo in disbelief, a flash of humiliation in his eyes, but no longer any resentment.

"Commander, please think it over carefully. If your original intention remains unchanged, I am naturally willing to help you achieve your goal!"

Just then, a servant in the prison reported that someone was trying to poison the young master of the snake, but fortunately it was discovered in time.

As they were talking, A-Yun, whose hands were tied, was brought over.

Mo Xiao was also brought out of the prison by the servants. After meeting Su Mo, he stood quietly to the side.

The servant threw A-Yun to Lan-Ling's side!

She looked at the person beside her and cried out, "Commander, save me! Save A-Yun!"

Lanling looked at her with a complicated expression, disappointed and heartbroken: "Didn't I tell you not to do anything foolish again? Why didn't you listen!"

"I...I!" A-Yun stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Two lines of tears streamed down her face. I looked so pitiful as I said, "Didn't the Commander say he would definitely help me find a way to cure the curse? A-Yun doesn't want to die... Commander, please help me!"

The strategist, his face contorted with rage, glared at the oblivious female and roared, "You instigated Lanling to commit such a grave mistake! And you still don't acknowledge it!"

Su Mo spoke up promptly, "I've already discussed this with the old strategist. The guilty party should bear the responsibility for their mistake. As for the instigator..."

Her meaningful gaze swept over A-Yun on the ground.

"Of course, he should be torn to pieces, ripped apart by five horses... But Lord Lanling has already admitted that he was just confused for a moment, and that he committed this foolish act because you instigated him. Even now, you still won't admit your mistake!"

Lan Ling, standing to the side, frowned slightly. He hadn't said that earlier; this Miss Su…

Before he could speak, the fear in A-Yun's eyes was instantly replaced by ruthlessness.

She now completely believed Su Mo's words, and her gaze towards Lan Ling revealed a hint of malice!
He said he was willing to die for her, but it was all a lie!

Since that's the case, she has nothing to worry about anymore!
Ayun suddenly changed the subject, "It wasn't me, it was the commander who forced me to do it! He made me seduce the Snake Young Master, and he also made me poison him! It was all his idea! He was determined to start a war between the two tribes! Ayun is innocent."

“Ah Yun, you…” Lan Ling looked at the person beside her, utterly disappointed.

After a brief, intense pain in my chest, all that remained was desolation...

A-Yun crawled to the strategist and Long Yan, weeping and confessing, "I am truly innocent! How could a lowly female like me dare to do this? I beg you, Major General and strategist, to investigate thoroughly!"

The strategist was furious and said, "Commander, is this the person you've been so devoted to protecting!"

Lan Ling clenched his fists tightly at his sides, his nails digging into his flesh, his palms a blurry mess, but he felt no pain at the moment.

Su Mo bent down and grabbed A-Yun's chin, sneering, "Actually... Lord Lanling didn't say a bad word about you just now. I tricked you. On the contrary, he's willing to die for you. Unfortunately, you were too impatient."

"You! You!" A-Yun glared at Su Mo with resentment.

She struggled to kill the person in front of her!
Su Mo abruptly shoved her aside and looked at Lan Ling calmly, asking, "Commander, have you thought it through? Are you still willing to die for such a beloved person?"

Looking into Lanling's eyes, which were filled with disappointment, Ayun knew in her heart that there was no chance of survival.

She can't die alone; she has to kill that damned female!
The rope in her hand loosened, and A-Yun pulled out a sharp blade from her sleeve. She stood up and was about to pounce on Su Mo.

Su Mo frowned and subconsciously took a step back, reaching for the sleeping pills hidden at her waist.

At the same time, Canglan, who was closest to Su Mo, unleashed a fierce palm strike!
Instantly, his aura surged, and he shielded Su Mo behind him like a demon from hell.
