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

Chapter 62 062 The Opponent is Terrifyingly Strong

As Mo Xiao and his companions walked toward Su Mo, they saw the orcs surrounding him, chattering away as if discussing some kind of pharmacology.

Yueying waved her fan and looked at the people, saying, "It's getting late. If you have any questions, come and talk to my wife tomorrow."

After saying that, Yueying came to Su Mo's side, grabbed her wrist, and said to everyone, "My wife is going back to sleep, so there's no need for you all to see her off."

Before long, Su Mo was pulled away from the crowd by his belt, while Mo Xiao and Fei Yan, behind them, smiled and said goodbye to everyone.

Seeing that Su Mo had left, the dragon-orcs dispersed as well.

In the darkness, Nan Nan and Dong Dong watched Su Mo's departing figure, then looked at the Major General beside them and sighed helplessly.

When will he finally get it...?

Su Mo returned to the courtyard, took a shower, and went back to her room to find Cang Lan sitting cross-legged on her bed with an expectant look on her face.

The hand that was drying her hair paused.

I really feel sorry for those emperors in ancient times. They had to deal with this and that every day...where did they get all that energy?

This can't go on. We're in too much of a passive position. Aren't we going to be completely controlled by those few?!

This is absolutely not okay!

Su Mo's mind raced, and she looked at the little leopard on the bed, saying, "Canglan, are you sleepy?"

Canglan was taken aback, then nodded and shook his head.

Su Mo squinted: "Since you're not sleepy, how about we play a little game?"

Upon hearing this, the little leopard opposite him lit up and nodded vigorously.

And he began to untie his robe belt.

Su Mo opened her eyes wide in fright and shouted, "Stop, pause! This isn't the kind of game you're thinking of!"

Canglan looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Su Mo squinted and took out a deck of cards from her system space, then held it in front of him: "Let's play this."

This is a new entertainment feature that was just launched in the system's store. Although Su Mo had always found it rather boring, it was good to use it to fool the little leopard.

Outside the house, three other people were out: some came out to drink water, some came out to relieve themselves, and some came out to admire the moonlight.

In short, they all stopped in front of Su Mo's door at that moment, exchanged awkward glances, but none of them intended to leave.

I held my breath and listened intently to what was happening inside.

……

Canglan frowned in confusion as he looked at what Su Mo was holding: "How do you play with it?"

Su Mo smiled and climbed onto the bed. The two sat facing each other, and she briefly explained the rules of the game to him.

Canglan was confused, but he felt he understood the general idea.

"Let's play two rounds first." Su Mo started shuffling the cards. "It's settled then, best of five. The loser has to promise the other one something. No cheating, whoever cheats is a turtle!"

Canglan nodded obediently, "Okay."

In the first two trial games, Su Mo deliberately went easy on the opponent, and sure enough, the opposing player, Little Leopard, became visibly excited.

Canglan looked confident; this game was far too easy!

When the game officially started, Su Mo stopped holding back.

"Shunzi!"

"Wang Bang!"

"Haha, I won again!"

Best of three, catching that silly leopard completely off guard.

Canglan scratched his head in bewilderment. What was going on? He was winning at the very beginning.

Su Mo looked at Cang Lan, who had a puzzled expression, and squinted her eyes, saying, "I won, but you have to promise me one thing."

Canglan immediately sat up straight, looking serious yet expectant, and asked, "My lady, do you want me to touch your abs?"

"cough!"

Su Mo's eyes widened. [Are you kidding me? Am I some kind of notorious womanizer? Was I... that obvious?]

[Wait a minute... isn't his character supposed to be an assassin? How can an assassin be so naive?!]

Canglan heard Su Mo's thoughts and quietly lowered his hand from lifting her clothes.

His tone was disappointed: "If my wife doesn't like it, then I won't touch her..."

Su Mo glanced regretfully at the abs he had covered. [He's so clueless! He had no idea he heard me say I didn't like it...]

Canglan's eyes lit up instantly, and he grabbed her hand and pressed it against his.

"touch!"

Su Mo: "..."

[This wasn't my choice; I was forced into it. So, does that mean I'm a jerk?]

Canglan squinted his eyes: "My wife is the best."

Su Mo smiled and raised her eyebrows in a good mood.

Then she pulled a few candies from under her pillow and slipped them to him: "Here, take these candies and go back to sleep~"

Canglan happily accepted it, then seemed to remember something: "Doesn't my wife want me to sleep with you?"

"...Oh, well, you're tired today. Go back to your room and sleep, okay?"

After saying that, she secretly slipped him a bag of potato chips: "Go on~"

Canglan looked at the things in her arms, then happily got out of bed and left.

Hearing the door close, Su Mo let out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this little leopard was relatively easy to deal with.

I need to set some rules for them tomorrow; if this continues, I'll have no freedom left.

With a sound of "ding",
Xiao Jiu is here: "Don't pretend to be innocent after getting such a good deal. You should be secretly happy to be surrounded by handsome men. Tsk tsk tsk, having a different person touch your abs every day, doesn't that feel amazing?!"

Su Mo lay on the bed with her legs crossed, and said leisurely, "It's alright..."

"Tch, what a show-off! Such a deadpan act!" Little Jiu asked gossipily, "Which of them do you like the most?"

Su Mo raised an eyebrow. "Which one do you like the most?" What a fatal question! She refused to answer.

Xiao Jiu: "Tell me, hurry up~"

"No, no, skip this!" Su Mo frowned and asked, "Have you analyzed the ingredients of the medicine packet from that man in black?"

"It's out, see for yourself~"

Su Mo opened the panel, glanced at the analysis above, and couldn't help but frown.

Surprisingly, there were four or five other ingredients that could not be broken down, and those that were broken down were also extremely toxic.

"Damn, he really went all out. If Mo Xiao had taken that drug that day, his condition now would be hard to say."

Xiao Jiu was silent for a moment before saying, "Host, you'll need to be careful of that man in black in the future. He seems quite strong."

Su Mo frowned: "You call this 'somewhat strong'? He's terrifyingly strong! I'm asking you, in all your years of working with systems, have you ever encountered such a vicious opponent?"

Xiao Jiu was silent for a while: "It seems not."

"That's right! Can you help me find out where he came from? Is he some kind of villain with the strongest system? If your System Management Bureau is playing me like this, that's not right!"

Xiao Jiu shook his head and said quite seriously, "He doesn't have a system, I swear on that! If he did have a system, I would definitely be able to contact my colleague."

Su Mo felt that what he said made sense.

It doesn't make sense that people in the same supply chain wouldn't know each other.

Su Mo lay on the bed and sighed, "Then it will be even more difficult. He's so powerful even without any cheat codes. I'm afraid he'll be hard to kill."

"Don't worry, host, Xiao Jiu will be with you~ I'm your thoughtful butler!"

Su Mo raised an eyebrow: "Stop with the sweet talk, what you really need to do is level up me!"

"That's for sure~ Don't worry, host, I'll just hang around in front of the bureau leaders whenever I have time!"

"That would be for the best!" Su Mo yawned and said, "I'm going to sleep now, you may leave."

She has a very open mind; she doesn't consider difficulties as difficulties that haven't yet arisen.

Besides, that person in black was also poisoned by the system's lab, so I don't believe he's really that powerful as to be able to easily cure her.

No matter what, she's a chosen one with a cheat code, so there's nothing to fear.

outside the house.

As soon as Canglan came out, she was kidnapped by three people outside.

Before he could even speak, the three men dragged him to a secluded corner and began questioning him…
