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

Chapter 73 073 The Stubborn Stubborn Guy

At this moment, in the study of the man in black, Jin Tong.

He was flipping through the book in his hand, looking for a way to detoxify.

He didn't dare to fully trust the woman named Su Mo; that woman was very cunning.

"Keep a close watch on her and make sure nothing goes wrong. It's best to keep everyone away from her; this female is quite cunning!"

The subordinate frowned and said, "Sect Leader, I still think keeping her around is a threat. Her fiancés are no pushovers. Now, you're injured and have been poisoned a new time. Zuo Xuan and I are also injured. If they come looking for us..."

The man in black glanced at him, his eyes conveying a clear warning: "I know what I'm doing. Get out!"

"Yes!" The subordinate bowed slightly, turned and left.

Jin Tong flipped through the book titled 'Soul-Devouring Poison' in his hand, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes.

At that time, on the other side of the East China Sea.

While on patrol, Ye Yuan's men discovered that their prince's strongest scale had fallen to the bottom of the sea, so they immediately brought it back to the Dragon Palace.

At this moment, Ye Yuan was holding the scale in a daze. Wasn't this the one he gave to his wife? How did it end up at the bottom of the sea?

Does the wife not like his gift?
Waaaaah, the wife probably really doesn't like him...

The thought of this possibility brought tears to Ye Yuan's eyes, and his light blue pupils instantly dimmed.

He gently stroked the scale with his slender fingers, and tears fell one by one, rolling down onto the scale.

Suddenly, the scales emitted a blinding light, and the words "My mistress is in danger, save her immediately!" appeared faintly on them.

In an instant, the tears in Ye Yuan's eyes vanished completely, his hand holding the scale tightened, and a dark blue light appeared in his eyes.

The wife is in danger?!

He frowned and looked at the people opposite him: "Besides this, do you have anything else?"

The two clownfish henchmen holding forked pincers hesitated for a few seconds, then one of them pulled a small bottle from his pocket and handed it over.

He stammered, "Your Highness, I felt this thing was useless, so I didn't give it to you earlier..."

Ye Yuan picked it up and examined it closely. He didn't know what it was, but since it had fallen off with his scales, it must be useful!
"Summon the underwater guards and come with me to find the mistress! Show this to them, and report back immediately if they find any similar objects!"

"Yes!" The servant took the things from his hands, transformed into a small sea fish, and swam away.

Soon the patrol team also discovered some strange little things in other places. Ye Yuan stared at those things for a while, and then took out the seabed topographic map to study it for a while.

The elder Minister of Justice frowned as he looked at the location marked by the soldiers and said, "It seems that Miss Su has been kidnapped. They passed through the East Sea. So Miss Su threw His Highness's scales into the East Sea to remind His Highness. These strange things should be the tokens she threw along the way."

Ye Yuan frowned deeply: "Send another team with me ashore to continue the search!"

As long as we continue to search along the route in the direction of the object thrown by the wife, we will surely find her whereabouts!

"Wait!" Lord Jianyi frowned and said, "We still don't know who kidnapped Miss Su, nor do we know her situation. Your Highness must proceed with caution to prevent the other party from discovering our actions, which could be detrimental to Miss Su."

After listening, Ye Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's select a few with strong martial arts skills to go with me."

Lord Jianyi nodded, then looked at the underwater general Jingming beside him: "You shall arrange this matter."

A moment later, Ye Yuan led his carefully selected soldiers out of the sea.

They split into three groups and quietly searched along the route, heading towards the East China Sea.

The direction was quickly determined.

They eventually found the village where Su Mo was locked up, which was heavily guarded.

Whale Fall disguised himself and went to investigate. He returned and reported back: "This place is neither near the North Wing nor the Tiger Clan. It's unclear which tribe they belong to. The orc population in the village is quite diverse, and they are very vigilant, including some high-ranking orcs. I'm afraid asking too many questions might arouse their suspicion."

"The most important thing now is to confirm whether Miss Su is really inside. If she is, we should go back immediately, gather our men, and storm in! If she isn't, we might alert her."

Ye Yuan raised his hand to stop him, frowning as he said, "Calm down. Take your men and find a secluded place to hide. I have my own way of confirming." With that, he vanished elsewhere.

Unbeknownst to others, he could hear his wife's innermost thoughts.

If the wife is really inside, he can naturally confirm it if he gets close enough.

Ye Yuan silently surveyed the area around the village.

Meanwhile, Su Mo was chatting with Xiao Jiu in her room.

That evening, the guard from the man in black brought her some medicinal herbs as she had instructed.

She is currently in her room researching antidote pills for Jin Tong.

Su Mo had already checked the antidote formula in the system laboratory, so of course it wouldn't be so easy to give him an antidote.

However, in order to lower that pervert's guard, her medicine still had to have some effect.

Change a few key medications to alleviate his symptoms and get through the night smoothly.

Su Mo tossed the herbs into the lab and said to Xiao Jiu, "Adjust the settings. As long as it doesn't kill him for the time being, it's fine."

"Alright, host!"

After a series of actions by Xiao Jiu, several pills quickly fell in front of Su Mo.

Su Mo picked it up, glanced at it, and took a light sniff. She was extremely satisfied.

After she finished, she lay on the bed with her legs crossed.

"Why haven't those others come yet? Ye Yuan is really something, I've already given him scales, and he still hasn't reacted?"

Xiao Jiu: "Host, don't worry. I believe His Highness will sense it soon. Even if he comes looking for us, we can't act rashly if we don't know the situation. Let's wait a little longer~"

Su Mo pouted, "That's for the best. I'm not very familiar with that fish, and I don't know if he'd even be willing to rescue me."

Xiao Jiu: "Of course I'd love to! He's truly devoted to you, after all, he even gave you the mermaid's strongest protective scale!"

"It's just a scale, how could it be so mysterious?"

Xiao Jiu said seriously, "These are really not ordinary scales. They may seem ordinary to the host, but to a mermaid, they are the hardest scales that protect her heart. These things are not given away casually. They are usually given as the most precious dowry by some beastmen when they get married. Once the scales are given away and accepted by the recipient, the mermaid will sense when the recipient is in great danger."

"The meaning is: I will use the scales of my heart to protect you for a lifetime."

"I've heard that many years ago, a commander from another sea area used a Heart Scale to save his beloved. So the Heart Scale is definitely not just a simple scale."

After listening, Su Mo remained silent for a while: "Then I definitely can't accept it. It's better for him to keep such a valuable item. It's perfect to return it to him now."

She suspected that the crybaby hadn't thought that far ahead; she simply wanted to marry her, so she gave her this thing.

Xiao Jiu: "...I've been talking for so long, and you haven't listened to a single point?!"

Su Mo was speechless: "Didn't you just say that the heart-protecting scale is very important?"

"The young prince gave you something so valuable, don't you even have any sense of propriety?!"

"It's precisely because I know the truth that I have to return it. He's so innocent, so I can't go against my conscience and accept it."

Xiao Jiu, a system, gritted her teeth in anger: "You stubborn blockhead! You have absolutely no romantic sense! Even using you as firewood is a waste of time! There's definitely a reason why you were single until death in your past life..."

Su Mo: "..."

How did a system come up with the idea of ​​personal attacks?!
This is absolutely outrageous!!!

There's no way to reason with this love-obsessed person!
Outside the village, Ye Yuan wandered around but found no clues. Just as he was about to return, he heard intermittent sounds coming from inside and outside the wall, and his steps suddenly stopped.
