Chapter 155 - 148: I’m Jealous of the Third Young Master
’What’s with this bizarre, passive-aggressive attitude! What’s his deal?! Did I marry my master instead of a husband?!’
’I knew I shouldn’t have picked him as my main husband! All he knows how to do is be harsh with me! Harsh my ass! If he dares be harsh with me one more time, I’ll...’
Mo Xiao’s chest rose and fell erratically, the anger he had just suppressed flaring up again in an instant!
He grabbed her wrist and lowered his head, kissing her.
He almost forcefully, domineeringly, plundered all the air from between her lips.
"Mo..."
The instant she spoke, she gave him an opening.
He caught her tongue as it tried to pull away...
After a long moment, Mo Xiao released her.
Su Mo was held tightly in his arms, gasping for breath.
Before she could even get angry, he looked at her with unfulfilled desire and said, "Don’t you understand yet, Mo’er? I’m jealous of the third young master."
He wanted to be perfectly clear, to make her face his emotions directly.
Leaning against his chest, Su Mo frowned. "Why are you taking a page from that fox’s book? Getting jealous for no reason?"
’What’s there to be jealous of Xuan Qing for? I don’t like him, and he doesn’t like me! It’s a completely ridiculous notion~’
"I’m not trying to be like Yue Ying. This is my nature. Because I like you, I go crazy with jealousy even if you just spare him a glance."
"But... if Mo’er truly likes him, I can also restrain my emotions and tolerate his presence. Jealousy is my instinct, but letting you like the one you want to like is a rule I must follow as your Beast Husband."
Su Mo shook her head. "No, I don’t like him. I was just... just trying to intimidate him! Once the engagement is called off, I’ll send him away!"
"Really? His Level is even higher than mine. Can wife bear to part with him?"
Although Mo Xiao didn’t want to admit it, Xuan Qing’s superiority was obvious.
The man not only had high Combat Power, but he was also a formidable rival for her affections.
If Xuan Qing decided to make a move, then incidents like today’s would become commonplace. If his wife truly disliked the man, Mo Xiao naturally hoped he would leave as soon as possible.
Su Mo patiently placated the man before her. "I like you for you, not because of your Level. So naturally, I’m not going to like him just because his Level is high, you know~"
A dark glint flashed in Mo Xiao’s eyes. He asked in a low voice, "When does Mo’er plan to send him back to the Tiger Clan?"
Su Mo thought for a moment. "Like I said before, once his name is cleared, we’ll break off the engagement and send him away."
"Mm."
Little Nine silently munched on his metaphorical popcorn, screaming internally, ’That wretched snake, he’s so shameless! Using these roundabout tactics to trick the Host into sending away his rival!’
’Every single one of them has a thousand tricks up his sleeve, and nine hundred of them are being used on his Host, aren’t they?!’
Little Nine couldn’t take it anymore and began to shout, hopping mad, ’Host, tell him, a main husband must be magnanimous! How can he be the main husband when he’s this petty! You should just tell him to give up his position to Xuan Qing!’
Su Mo retorted, ’Shut up, you useless system! Are you trying to start a war in my backyard?!’
Little Nine cried, ’Don’t be fooled! He’s not a good snake! He’s a scheming snake!!!’
Su Mo narrowed her eyes. ’Nonsense. He’s my sweet, obedient snake~ He just gets a little jealous is all~’
Little Nine looked to the heavens, speechless. ’It’s over! It’s all over! They’re going to sweet-talk you into having a head full of nothing but love!’
Su Mo looked completely unbothered. ’We do not care. A snake that is willing to put effort into pleasing Us is a good snake~’
Mo Xiao hugged her tighter, a deep, dark glint flashing in his eyes for an instant.
Then he coaxed Su Mo into kissing for a while longer, using a mix of soft and hard tactics to wear her out for a bit before he reluctantly let go.
It had been some days since their wedding, and the desire in Mo Xiao’s eyes was difficult to hide. If Yue Ying hadn’t worn her out so completely the day before, there was no way he would be letting her leave right now.
He actually regretted fighting so desperately for the title of main husband. If it weren’t for that status, he would have definitely dragged her back to his own room last night to have his way with her.
But as the main husband, he had to remind himself to restrain his actions.
Little Nine was completely speechless.
’That snake’s schemes were practically written all over his face, and the Host was choosing to ignore it?!’
’This was going to be the death of me. The third young master had such a cold, aloof personality, and with rivals like these, when would he ever succeed in his courtship?’
’If they don’t get together, what would happen to its performance stats... This was truly going to be the death of a system!’
Meanwhile, up on the mountain, Jin Tong had been in the study talking with Lin Shan. Suddenly, he flashed out like a gust of wind and submerged himself in the ice spring once more.
When Lin Shan followed, he saw the inexplicable red marks that had appeared on his master’s neck... which then snaked down his arms, his chest...
The sight was a kind of shocking, grotesque comedy.
Jin Tong’s temples throbbed, and his determination to kill Su Mo hardened even further!
Fortunately, however, the strange sensation came to an abrupt halt moments later.
