Chapter 149 - 143: To Live and Die With Her (Part 3)
Xuan Qing’s hand, holding his bow and arrow, tightened slightly. Xuan Wei at his side frowned as well.
They had experienced a scene just like this before.
Many years ago, Xuan Qing’s father had died in a similar situation.
A young, pale, and helpless Xuan Qing had looked to his mother, but she had remained silent.
Later... Xuan Qing had held his father’s body, not even daring to cry out loud.
The elder had stroked his head and told him, "It is the duty of every Beast Husband to protect his wife."
Jiang Wu’s impatient voice rang out. "If you don’t come over here, I’ll take his life this instant!"
"Wife!"
A voice cried out in the night. It was impossible to tell if it was Mo Xiao, Fei Yan, Yue Ying, or Ye Yuan.
Su Mo stood motionless, her gaze as tranquil as water locked on Cang Lan. The evening wind swept through her hair, sending strands flying wildly in the twilight.
Her gaze was resolute from start to finish, without a trace of hesitation.
Cang Lan struggled, saying, "Don’t worry about me!"
"I’ll trade."
Su Mo’s firm, powerful voice rang out at the same time as Cang Lan’s.
Cang Lan stared at her in astonishment. "No, I won’t allow it! If you trade yourself for me, wife, I’ll immediately..."
"Insolence! As your wife, it’s not your place to make decisions for me! If you dare say another word, I will cast you out this instant!"
Cang Lan stared at her with feverish intensity, his pale lips trembling.
The area suddenly fell quiet.
Xuan Shuang spoke nervously, "Miss Su, you have to stay calm! She’s not someone who keeps her word!"
Su Mo knew that, of course.
But she had to take the gamble!
Discreetly, Su Mo retrieved the two "Unity Pills" from her System Space.
She hadn’t wanted to use these things so soon, but the current situation was desperate. She had no other choice.
Little Nine reminded her in her mind, "Host, take the primary and secondary pills together. Then, get your blood onto the other person. That will activate them! It’s the simplest method right now!"
Under the guise of tidying her hair, Su Mo secretly swallowed both pills.
After swallowing them, she felt a strange sensation rising inside her body.
Then, she discreetly took out a dagger and some silver needles from her space.
’Since Jiang Wu is this world’s protagonist, then I’ll just bind our lives together!’
’Once we share this bond, she’ll have to think twice if she ever wants to kill me.’
"Miss Su!"
"Wife!"
In the distance, Long Yan and the others finally couldn’t stop themselves from crying out.
They wanted Cang Lan to be safe, but they didn’t want Su Mo to be in any danger, either.
Su Mo’s frosty gaze swept over each of them. Her crimson lips parted, her words crisp and distinct. "If any one of you were trapped today, I would do the same. Don’t try to persuade me. Just do what you need to do."
Her gaze shifted, landing on Xuan Wei and Xuan Qing, who were closest to her.
As her eyes swept over the two of them, a dark glint flashed in the depths of Su Mo’s eyes.
Before Xuan Wei could react, Xuan Qing, at her side, had already silently acknowledged the profound meaning in Su Mo’s gaze.
Su Mo breathed a small sigh of relief internally.
Xuan Qing and Xuan Wei were positioned closest to her and Cang Lan. As long as one of them understood her intent, she had a fighting chance.
Up ahead, Jiang Wu raised the long whip in her hand and lashed it fiercely across Cang Lan’s body.
"Su Mo, if you don’t come over now, I’ll kill him this instant!"
"Stop."
Su Mo scoffed coldly and started walking toward the figures on the high ground.
A triumphant look flashed in Jiang Wu’s eyes.
Jin Tong watched her figure approach, his eyes narrowing slightly to hide the emotions churning within them.
’She really dared to come?’
’Should he call her stupid, or hopelessly naive?’
As her figure drew closer, both Jin Tong and Jiang Wu grew eager to fly down and snatch her.
But Lin Shan beat them to it!
The moment he gripped Su Mo’s shoulder and they landed, Su Mo seized the opportunity and flung a cloud of powder from her sleeve!
As a thick fog billowed out, she accurately hurled the blade from her sleeve at the chains binding Cang Lan!
With a loud CLANG, the chains snapped!
Cang Lan broke free in an instant, grabbing Su Mo and preparing to fly down!
In the chaos, Jiang Wu flicked her whip, precisely snagging Su Mo’s calf and ensnaring her!
With a twist of her fingers, the thick fog instantly dissipated!
Xuan Qing, who had flown over, grabbed hold of Cang Lan and confronted Jiang Wu.
Seeing Mo Xiao and the others rapidly approaching, Jiang Wu tightened her grip on the whip, secretly applying more force!
’All I want today is to see Su Mo die,’ she thought. ’How it happens doesn’t matter to me!’
’Strangling her to death like this might not be a bad way to do it!’
Su Mo felt the whip around her waist tighten, constricting until she could barely breathe!
So she suddenly pricked her finger, forcefully pushed Cang Lan away, and spun around to lunge at Jiang Wu!
"Wife!"
Caught off guard by the sudden shove, Cang Lan and Xuan Qing stumbled and fell.
Cang Lan saw the murderous intent in Jiang Wu’s eyes with horror. Before he could even catch his breath, he was once again swarmed by Jiang Wu’s men.
In her desperation, Su Mo flung several silver needles at Jiang Wu!
Jiang Wu dodged them, the killing intent in her eyes growing even stronger!
"You’re courting death!"
With a great heave, she tried to yank Su Mo toward her and strangle her completely!
Su Mo saw her chance and prepared to make her move!
’I have to succeed with the Unity Pills today, no matter what!’
Mo Xiao, Fei Yan, and Yue Ying had already flown up and were locked in a tangled battle with Jiang Wu’s Beast Husbands, who swarmed in from the perimeter.
Just as Su Mo reached for Jiang Wu’s wrist, Ai Ci brandished her sword and charged straight at Su Mo!
In the chaos, someone intercepted Ai Ci’s blade. With a loud CLANG, the sword instantly shattered into pieces!
A dark figure flashed before Su Mo’s eyes. The world spun, and her bleeding finger uncontrollably landed on the person’s wrist.
The moment her blood touched them, a cold, mechanical voice rang out in Su Mo’s mind. "Connection successful. Activating immediately."
