Chapter 136 - 133: A Typical Sinister Male Ghost
Xuan Qing didn’t move for a moment.
He suspected he was hearing things. Those strange voices still seemed to echo in his ears.
Until he looked toward Su Mo again.
Su Mo was still maintaining that faint, fake smile.
’Go on, throw that Contract Book out! That would fit his character perfectly!’
’Ugh, I’m getting so anxious from the wait! Just hurry up already!’
Once he confirmed the source of the voice, Xuan Qing’s brows furrowed uncontrollably.
Xuan Shuang frowned and urged, "What are you still hesitating for?!"
As a Steward of the Tiger Clan, shamelessly twisting the truth like she was today was one of the most absurd things she had ever done in her life.
Xuan Qing still didn’t move.
His dark, calm gaze was fixed on Su Mo.
He had traveled far and wide and heard of some strange things.
But this was the first time he had ever heard a person’s inner thoughts.
Su Mo was growing impatient.
’What on earth is he hesitating about? He can’t possibly want to sign it, can he? No way, absolutely not. A man like him would only bow to someone he loves. He wouldn’t deign to get involved with some irrelevant person...’
With this thought, Su Mo put on a shameless smile and urged, "Third Young Master, why not sign it?"
Xuan Qing’s calm gaze remained on her, in no hurry to make a decision.
Long Yan and the two Little Dragons were currently outside the prison. They had already heard a little about what happened from the Clan Leader’s attendants.
Nannan tugged on Long Yan’s sleeve, a sorrowful look on his face. "Lord Major General, what are we going to do?"
Long Yan’s face was clouded with worry. If only he knew what to do...
Fei Yan and Mo Xiao rushed over, not even having time to greet Long Yan at the entrance as they bolted into the prison like lightning.
"Wife."
Mo Xiao called out softly, then looked at Xuan Qing.
This Third Young Master seemed to have the same nonchalant and unconcerned air about him, no matter the situation.
His inscrutable gaze was fixed on the name on the Contract Book, and for a moment, no one could guess his thoughts.
The surroundings were terrifyingly quiet.
Yue Ying’s heavy gaze fell on Xuan Qing’s face.
If he wasn’t mistaken, he could see hesitation on Xuan Qing’s face.
This was not a good sign!
Yue Ying stepped forward and said coldly, "It seems the Third Young Master does not wish to sign. In that case, let’s forget it. Once the matter is investigated thoroughly, he can naturally be released."
With that, he reached for the Contract Book in front of Xuan Qing. He was famous for being shameless anyway, so he might as well be shameless one more time today!
Before Yue Ying could touch it, Xuan Shuang’s hand shot out to block him.
"Lord Yue Ying, please be patient. My third brother never said he wouldn’t sign. What’s the rush?"
Yue Ying’s lips curled, but there was no hint of a smile in his eyes.
"The Third Young Master has hesitated for so long; he must not want to sign. Second Miss, you shouldn’t force him against his will."
Yue Ying made a move to snatch it, but Xuan Shuang simply raised her hand and tossed the Contract Book to Xuan Wei behind her.
Xuan Wei held the hot potato, unsure of what to do for a moment.
She was a respectable Witch Doctor of the Tiger Clan, yet today she was forced to be ’shameless’ as well... Her lifetime of good reputation was truly being ruined in a single day.
She didn’t know who pushed her from behind, but the thing in her hand flew out.
Yue Ying and Cang Lan instinctively moved to grab it.
Xuan Shuang’s expression darkened. She leaped up, and everyone watched as the Contract Book was tossed high, then thrown to the side, only to be tossed high again.
Several figures zipped around like lightning. Xuan Shuang knew very well that if the Contract Book fell into the hands of Su Mo’s Beast Husbands, the contract would not be signed today.
No matter what, she had shamelessly begged for this opportunity; it couldn’t be ruined now!
The whole time, Su Mo watched from the sidelines with a cool, indifferent expression.
’The fox and the leopard had better not let me down.’
’Just get it over with already! My legs are going numb from standing!!! As for an ice block like Xuan Qing, whoever wants him can have him. I, for one, want nothing to do with him...’
Lifting her gaze, she met Xuan Qing’s calm, rippleless eyes, and for some reason, Su Mo felt a pang of guilt.
She forced her lips into a strained smile.
’Look at that stare. He’s a typical gloomy, sinister male ghost. Any Female who ends up with a Beast Husband like that would be truly unlucky! I don’t want to be that unlucky one...’
Xuan Qing let out a soft, almost inaudible chuckle, his gaze on Su Mo growing even calmer.
It was more like... the prelude to a shocking conspiracy.
The Think Tank glanced at the three people furiously fighting over the book, wanting to speak but not knowing what to say.
He couldn’t afford to offend... either side.
Forget it. He’d just let fate decide!
Just as Long Yan walked in with the two Little Dragons, a dejected look on his face,
he saw the heated scene of them fighting over the book.
The two little ones were stunned.
A flash of surprise crossed Long Yan’s eyes, quickly followed by a flicker of anticipation, though he himself didn’t know what he was anticipating...
As the Contract Book was tossed up again, Xuan Shuang’s expression darkened. She went all out, suddenly manifesting her tiger tail!
Not to be outdone, Yue Ying lashed out with his fox tail. For a moment, the two were tangled in a fierce struggle!
Xuan Shuang frowned, then with a sudden burst of strength, flung the object toward Xuan Qing’s feet.
Yue Ying and Cang Lan quickly changed direction and dashed after it.
Before Yue Ying could grab the Contract Book, a drop of blood fell from Xuan Qing’s injured fingertip, landing precisely on the signature line...
The moment the blood fell, a faint light radiated outwards.
Xuan Shuang leaped forward, picked up the Contract Book from the ground, and laughed heartily. "It’s fate!"
She casually tossed the item into the Think Tank’s arms. "Now my third brother can go home with Miss Su, right?"
The Think Tank glanced at it and nodded.
Su Mo snatched the book from his hands. Staring at the red bloodstain in the signature box, her face was filled with disbelief.
She looked at Xuan Qing in astonishment, only to see him casually lift his injured finger and say with extreme calm, "Since it was a freak accident, let’s just go with the mistake."
Su Mo’s dumbfounded gaze fixed on his blood-red fingertip. For a moment, she was too angry to speak!
Yue Ying was also rendered speechless with rage.
’What "freak accident, go with the mistake"?! It was obvious he did it on purpose!’
’How can a person be so shameless?!’
"Um, Third Young Master, since it was a mistake, we can still..."
Before Su Mo could finish, Xuan Qing spoke calmly from across the room. "I’d like to go back and take a bath first. Sorry to trouble you, Miss Su."
"Yes, yes, yes! Go back first! We can talk about everything back there!" Xuan Shuang beamed as she grabbed Su Mo’s wrist and pulled her outside.
Once outside, Xuan Shuang showered Su Mo with gratitude. "Miss Su, the three of us siblings will never forget your great kindness for the rest of our lives. If we have the chance in the future, we will surely repay this debt!"
Su Mo’s lips pulled into a stiff smile.
’After all that, *I’m* the unlucky one? ...My life is so bitter!’
’I have to get this sorted out quickly and send that Third Young Master back to the Tiger Clan!!!’
Fei Yan and Mo Xiao threw a faint glance at the unpleasant presence beside them.
A question couldn’t help but arise in their minds: could this Third Young Master also hear their wife’s inner voice now?
But Xuan Qing’s expression was as calm as still water, completely unreadable.
