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

Chapter 18 018 Mo Xiao is poisoned by love while shielding Su Mo from a knife.

The shaman's disciple, Qingshan, was a young male orc, quite handsome, and looked rather refined.

Many females in the tribe wanted to marry him, but he was arrogant and proud, so the marriage had not been finalized.

According to the original plot, he will later become a member of the female lead's harem and will also become a mortal enemy of Mo Xiao and Fei Yan. Don't underestimate him now because he doesn't seem to have any skills; he's a master at stirring up trouble and using underhanded tactics. Later on, the female lead will have many capable and extraordinary people under her command, so dealing with Mo Xiao and his group will be a piece of cake.

The people behind him exchanged glances, their thoughts unspoken.

The shaman's disciple, dressed in a blue robe, holding a scepter and carrying a specially made ceramic jar, stood in the center of the stage: "Now, please prepare yourselves and receive the baptism of holy water with your most devout hearts!"

He closed his eyes and started chattering in a language no one could understand.

After a moment, he opened his eyes again: "The gods have granted me power. Now I will distribute the holy water to the blessed."

A unified cheer erupted from below, "We beseech the gods to grant us holy water!"

It was accompanied by rhythmic clapping and stomping sounds.

In this situation, Su Mo sitting there motionless seemed particularly out of place.

[The witch doctor's disciples seem like cult leaders; their stuff isn't even worth washing their feet, just something to fool these ignorant masses! I can't bear to watch. Forget it, better to avoid trouble.]

Then the disciple raised his scepter and pointed to the southeast corner: "Second batch, third person! Please come forward!"

The chosen person ran up to the stage with great joy and bowed to the witch doctor's disciple to express their gratitude.

Soon, the man selected several more to step forward, and they all did the same.

"Only one spot remains. Who will receive this last drop of sacred water?"

As the host used cryptic language, everyone saw the white cane pointing directly in Su Mo's direction.

"Second row, the middle female, please come forward!"

Su Mo didn't realize he was referring to her until A Nuan excitedly shook her, saying, "You've been chosen! Go up now!"

"I?!"

Su Mo pointed at herself in disbelief and asked the person on stage, "Are you sure it's me?"

The man's cool gaze swept over Su Mo, and he nodded: "It's you."

Su Mo nodded slightly and walked onto the stage.

[Something's not right, something's not right. Why did they choose me out of the blue? That old witch doctor, is he plotting against me again?! I was just going to watch the show, but since you insisted on walking into the line of fire, you can't blame me!]

Backstage, the witch doctor stared at Su Mo with a sinister gaze; this time, he wanted Su Mo dead!

That ignorant woman should have died long ago! With her dead, he would still be the most sacred shaman in the tribe!
The people on the stage stared excitedly at the ceramic jar, but Su Mo was focused on the spout.

It's a two-faced mouth! No wonder he's a repeat offender!

Mo Xiao, Fei Yan, and Yue Ying stood there, watching and observing Su Mo's actions.

Suddenly, a furtive figure flashed into Mo Xiao's sight. Relying on the Snake Young Master's vigilance, he walked towards the figure.

Seeing this, Fei Yan quickly followed.

Qingshan poured five cups of holy water for each of the five people.

Su Mo noticed that the third cup and her fifth cup came from a different spout.

The first and second people in front, feeling refreshed after drinking, exclaimed, "Delicious! I feel completely relaxed!"

Qingshan nodded: "This means you have no hidden illness, and the gods will continue to favor you."

Upon hearing this, the man left, moved to tears.

Su Mo frowned. [If the poison wasn't in the first or second cup, then it's not in the fourth either. That means it must be in the third or fifth cup!]

She was about to speak to stop the third person from drinking the so-called 'holy water' when the person quickly picked it up and drank it all in one gulp!

"Don't!"

With her scream, the man collapsed to the ground, clutching his head in pain. He curled up into a ball, repeatedly rubbing his lower abdomen, crying out, "It hurts! It hurts!"

He then started rambling incoherently.

The shaman's disciple walked over, touched his head, and felt his pulse.

He feigned profundity and said, "The gods have revealed that you have a hidden ailment. Don't worry, I will cure you."

Su Mo glanced at the expression on the person on the ground, picked up her cup of holy water and examined it. Everything became clear.

Holding the cup of holy water, she asked the shaman's disciple, "Are you sure it's a divine sign that he has a hidden ailment, and not that you're faking it?!"

The man's face turned cold: "What do you mean by this? How dare you doubt the gods!"

Su Mo said in a deep voice, "Since it is a divine manifestation, then tell me what illness he has and how to cure it!"

"Even if I told you, how much would you understand! He only needs to take this pill of mine, and all his illnesses will be cured, and his mind will return to normal!"

Su Mo snatched the pill from his hand, crushed it into powder, and sniffed it.

Then he sneered, "You added poisonous herbs and datura to the holy water, waited for people to have a reaction after drinking it, and then used Bletilla striata pills to detoxify them! What a flawless trick!"

The shaman disciple looked at Su Mo in disbelief. "You! You're talking nonsense and ruining the sacred medicine. Your crime is even more serious! I'm going to report to the clan chief and have you expelled from the tribe!" Su Mo was too lazy to waste words with him and took out Baiji from her space when no one was paying attention.

"Don't be fooled by their tricks, this is the antidote herb! Feed it to him and you'll know everything!"

The herbs in her hand were recognized by everyone; they grew on the mountain.

However, everyone remained skeptical: "Is this really the antidote? If so, why weren't the first two poisoned, but the third one was?"

Su Mo casually picked up a ceramic jar from the table. "The secret lies in the spout—a yin-yang spout! One side dispenses non-poisonous water, the other dispenses poisonous water!"

Everyone stared at the spout of the pot, astonished once again!

Qingshan shouted, "Don't be fooled by her, everyone! This is holy water! It's not poisonous!"

Su Mo turned around, picked up her own cup, and handed it to the shaman disciple: "Since you say this is holy water, then drink a cup yourself to prove that this water is not poisonous!"

The man was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly and finally fell to the ground! The remaining man reacted, went over and pried open his mouth, and Su Mo poured the holy water into it.

The disciple hurriedly reached for the pills in his pocket, but Su Mo slapped his hand away and crushed them!

Seeing the pain on his face, and then his incoherent ramblings, the crowd said, "It's all the witch doctor's fault, he insisted I do this..."

“He said he poisoned Su Mo, and we are the most skilled shamanic apprentices in the tribe… There really is poisonous herbs and datura in here… We’ve always done it this way before, and there’s never been a mistake. How could, how could… have she seen through it!”

Su Mo sneered and stuffed the white atractylodes in her hand into his mouth.

The crowd was furious: "That bastard, how dare he lie to us like that! Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

"Expel him and the witch doctor from the tribe!"

"No, they should be thrown into prison and never see the light of day again!"

While chaos erupted on stage, the witch doctor hid behind and glared at Su Mo with resentment.

He originally intended to use the name of the gods to poison Su Mo and end it all, but he didn't expect that she would expose him in public!

He has completely lost the support of the people, and can forget about being reinstated or continuing to live in the tribe.

That Su Mo is a jinx! Why does she have to ruin everything for me!

The witch doctor gripped the dagger tightly and headed straight for Su Mo!

Even if he dies, he won't let her have an easy time!

The stage was in chaos, and Su Mo was completely unaware of the danger behind her.

By the time Yueying realized what was happening, the witch doctor had already closed in on Su Mo.

He only had time to say one sentence: "Watch out!"

Su Mo turned around subconsciously, and the next second a dark shadow flashed past in front of her.

"flutter"--

A knife was plunged into Mo Xiao's back.

Moonshadow and Scarlet Flame immediately went after the fleeing witch doctor.

"Mo Xiao?!" Su Mo helped him sit down and looked down to check his injuries.

The wound wasn't deep, but the witch doctor had added poison and an extreme aphrodisiac to the knife!

If she had been stabbed, her life would have been in grave danger in an instant.

Mo Xiao's body had begun to react, and black scales began to involuntarily appear on his chest.

The snake's tail involuntarily hooked around Su Mo beside it, its expression one of discomfort and pain.

Su Mo immediately called Xiao Jiu and asked him to exchange for the inhibitor!

Xiao Jiu said helplessly, "It's no use. With your current points, the inhibitor you can exchange for won't be enough to suppress this aphrodisiac powder! Don't waste time, hurry up and stop the bleeding and take it back!"

Su Mo asked anxiously, "Will there be an antidote when we get back?!"

"Where would I get an antidote? Going back is just to make it easier for you guys to air out your stuff~"

Su Mo: "You're insane! You want me to be with this snake...!!!"

"Do you intend to watch him die? He took that blow for you, you know~"

Su Mo: "Don't try to trick me! You must have another way! Give me the antidote now, or I'll die with him!"

Xiao Jiu: "He did have it, but last time you drugged him, he was in heat. He suppressed it with medication and delayed it until now. Today, you drugged him with this extreme aphrodisiac powder. I'm just a system, not a miracle doctor. You need to decide quickly, or his martial arts skills will be ruined and his life will be in danger!"

"..."

Xiao Jiu spoke again: "You didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of you. Can you really bear it, host?"

Su Mo: "You're such a liar!"
