Chapter 181 Earlier, with her - Ah? The Wives I Abandoned Turned Out to Be Real
Chapter 181 Earlier, with her husband not present and with just three women around, Yu Luoniao had refrained from employing such methods of punishment. Now that her husband had returned, she felt it was permissible to indulge a little. Under Su Mo's gaze, Bai He blushed, her breasts rising and falling with her hurried breaths, the alluring curves of her body subtly outlined beneath her garments. "No, don't look!" At this moment, Bai He was utterly mortified. She was a celestial crane. Born with a human form. Since her birth, never had she suffered such humiliation. With these thoughts, a spark of determination flickered in Bai He's cold eyes. If she were humiliated any further, she'd rather self-destruct her inner core, perishing alongside the three of them. Witnessing Bai He's fierce resolve, a fervor ignited within Su Mo's heart. Ah! Bai He's resistance, coupled with her helpless state, presented a peculiar stimulation for Su Mo. Yet, Su Mo wasn't one to take advantage of vulnerable beauties. Coercion was something he never wished to engage in. "Yu Niao, perhaps it's best we refrain from this sort of play." "By the way, why did you all change your clothes?" Hearing Su Mo's words, Yu Luoniao's mischievous expression morphed into slight disappointment. She delighted most in taming such icy beauties. But given her husband's wishes, she chose to comply. "Alright, darling." "You mean the clothes?" "It's mainly because last night, a swarm of venomous insects emerged from the mountains. In the process of exterminating them, some of their blood accidentally stained us." Su Mo immediately understood. Despite the picturesque appearance of Danxia Mountain, it was in reality a mountain teeming with toxic pests. Even cultivators hardly dared to venture here, let alone ordinary people. Located in the central-left region of the Land of Immortals, Danxia Mountain rarely saw evil cultivators come to harvest poisonous insects or miasma. As a result, the insects had become rampant, overrunning the area. This reminded Su Mo of his six-winged centipede. After placing the six-winged centipede in an area swarming with evil cultivators, he had left it alone. If summoned back now to consume the mountain's poisonous insects, significant changes would surely follow. Su Mo then sat on a stone at the mountain's peak, closing his eyes to communicate with the six-winged centipede. Yu Luoniao and Nangong Liuli, seeing this, sat on either side of Su Mo. Yu Luoniao impertinently placed her long, exquisitely shimmering legs clad in silk stockings on Su Mo's lap. Her silky feet brushed against Nangong Liuli, hinting at her to follow suit. Nangong Liuli's cheeks flushed faintly pink, but she didn't mimic the action. Instead, she merely cradled Yu Luoniao’s stockinged feet, leaning on Su Mo's shoulder. Yu Luoniao mischievously tapped her toes, teasing Nangong Liuli with a ticklish sensation. Inhaling their contrasting fragrances, Su Mo gently caressed Yu Luoniao's silk-wrapped knee, finding it smooth as though touching a rare treasure. While immersed in these sensations, his mind engaged deeply with the six-winged centipede. Soon enough, Su Mo found himself viewing through the eyes of the six-winged centipede. It seemed to be in a mountain stream, flapping its wings, steadily flying forward. When Su Mo took over, the giant creature instantaneously halted its movement. Su Mo gauged that the centipede now spanned over ten meters, as thick as a barrel. He commanded it to utilize a blood-shadow escape technique and make its way to Danxia Mountain. In a blink. The centipede transformed into a blood shadow, racing towards Danxia Mountain. The blood-shadow escape technique was the fastest travel technique within the Blood God Art. Once executed, it could exceed the speed of sound. At this speed, it would arrive at Danxia Mountain before long. However, Su Mo's luck faltered. The blood shadow was not uncommon; many evil cultivators wielded travel spells resembling a blood shadow. Coincidentally, Bai Ningshuang was purging demons with her disciple Jiang Xuan in the area where the six-winged centipede was flying by. Having experienced the chaotic Blood Demon uprising, she immediately recognized the aura of the Blood God Art. In an instant. Shock washed over Bai Ningshuang’s stunning face. The demons here were left unaddressed as she transformed into a sword light, pursuing the six-winged centipede. "Master, wait for me!" Seeing her master suddenly dart away, Jiang Xuan followed in haste, riding her sword to keep up. Yet her master's speed was too great, leaving her to eat dust behind Bai Ningshuang’s elegant figure. Danxia Mountain. In roughly one incense's time. The six-winged centipede, exuding a dark golden glow, appeared over Danxia Mountain. It resembled a gigantic black serpent, weaving through the sky. Bai He was struck with fear, her beautiful eyes wide with terror. It was her first time seeing such an enormous centipede, exuding an aura so profound. Even at her peak, defeating it seemed impossible. Upon spotting the centipede, Su Mo swiftly bestowed it with a dose of solar vital energy. Feeling the long-lost nourishment, the centipede instinctively rejoiced. Witnessing this, Yu Luoniao expressed her surprise. "Darling, you've grown this centipede to such a size now." "If it devours all the poisonous insects here, its might will only increase!" Su Mo nodded gently, his hand reaching naturally for Yu Luoniao's little silk-clad foot in Nangong Liuli's lap, relishing the differing softness of each. Nangong Liuli's face flushed rosily, her cool eyes glistening, mesmerizing. Su Mo then commanded the centipede. He instructed it to remain at Danxia Mountain, devouring the toxic insects for its Blood God Art cultivation. Receiving the order, the centipede flew towards the mountain's other peaks, diving into an underground cavern. At that moment. A white and a green light approached Danxia Mountain from the distance. They came to a halt at the peak. Here, Bai He, suspended like a spider, was strikingly conspicuous. It looked like they were playing some sort of forbidden game. Adding to that, the centipede had vanished from this spot, prompting Bai Ningshuang to stop. In the next moment. Bai Ningshuang and Jiang Xuan landed on the peak. Immediately, they spotted Su Mo, toying with Yu Luoniao's silk-clad foot. Due to ingesting the Amnesia Water, Bai Ningshuang did not recognize Su Mo. But behind her, Jiang Xuan was utterly shaken to her core, brain storming wildly. How is this lewd man here? The women beside him were stunning, one radiant and seductive, the other ethereal as a celestial being. They rivaled her master in every aspect. Could it be possible? Su Mo hadn’t overindulged and weakened himself like his past self, but rather stumbled upon good fortune, arriving in the Land of Immortals? Fearing she alone had been reborn, Jiang Xuan refrained from revealing herself. Meanwhile, Su Mo immediately recognized Bai Ningshuang and Jiang Xuan. Bai Ningshuang was a classic unrivaled beauty, her charm and elegance placed in the top echelon with Bai Suzhen, Nangong Liuli, and Yu Luoniao. Though Jiang Xuan fell slightly short, it was only in demeanor; her beauty was on par with the likes of Fei Lingxue and Xu Miaoyin. Su Mo then warmed Yu Luoniao's stockinged foot with a gentle massage, returned it to her delicate shoe, and stood to approach Bai Ningshuang and Jiang Xuan. "Are you seeking someone, fair maidens?" "Yes." Staring at Su Mo, Bai Ningshuang felt an inexplicable familiarity. It was akin to reuniting with an old friend, stirring a desire for a lengthy heart-to-heart conversation. But now, finding the centipede practicing the Blood God Art was more pressing. The reemergence of the Blood God Art could spell disaster for the Land of Immortals. "Have you, by chance, seen a centipede shrouded in a blood shadow?" "As we traveled, we noticed it wielding the Blood God Art, which has been lost for centuries." "The Blood God Art is immensely harmful, and we must eliminate the centipede." Su Mo's heart skipped. He suddenly remembered that Bai Ningshuang was a figure of great repute during the Blood Demon chaos. How careless of him. He must ensure the six-winged centipede remained inconspicuous in the future. With that realization, Su Mo spoke. "I'm sorry, no." "Just now, my two companions and I were engrossed in conversation, unaware of such matters." Two companions? At that moment, Bai Ningshuang recognized Nangong Liuli. Known as an unrivaled genius from the Emei Sect in a hundred years, Nangong Liuli had now advanced to the Earthly Immortal realm. Astonishingly, she had become the companion of a cultivator who wasn't even a scattered immortal? Bai Ningshuang was perplexed. While the man was undeniably handsome and robust, the Land of Immortals was filled with countless more captivating and vigorous cultivators. What charm did he possess to win Nangong Liuli’s favor? And beside him, the alluring demoness in purple gauze, with such stunning beauty—it was rare even among the demon kind. Yet, she and Nangong Liuli had both chosen to follow the same man. This piqued Bai Ningshuang's immense curiosity about Su Mo. Her eyes then drifted to Bai He suspended on a spider web. She could tell Bai He was also of demon descent. Since it concerned the demon kind, it wasn't her place to intervene. "If you haven't seen anything, my disciple and I won’t disturb you any further." "Disciple, let's search below the mountain." "See if the centipede is hiding somewhere." "Yes, Master!" After consenting to Bai Ningshuang, Jiang Xuan cast a longing glance at Su Mo before turning away. She had perceived it. Su Mo's gaze lingered on her master, but he lacked that lascivious gleam of a lustful wolf. Which indicated that he wasn't him. Overwhelmed with a deep sense of disappointment, Jiang Xuan departed. As for whether Su Mo recognized Jiang Xuan, he had certainly done so. But with the icy and stunning Bai Ningshuang present, he couldn’t make an acknowledgment, so he pretended not to notice. Having this second chance at life. Jiang Xuan surely wouldn’t despair and take her life as before. There would be plenty of opportunities to meet again. For now, ensuring his six-winged centipede escaped quickly was the prudent choice. Under Su Mo's mental control, the six-winged centipede had already fled Danxia Mountain, making its way to the Blood Sea. Numerous evil cultivators practiced blood arts at the Blood Sea. Their primordial spirits could be greatly enhanced. And upright practitioners scarcely ventured there. Thus, heading to the Blood Sea was the safest option. Suspended in the spider web, Bai He was terrified by what she witnessed. She never imagined Su Mo could be such a peerless villain. He cultivated the Blood God Art with one incarnation, but practiced righteous arts in his true form. A cunning scheme indeed. She had considered revealing the truth to Bai Ningshuang multiple times. But the thought of being utterly annihilated by the Blood God Art, without even a chance of reincarnation, struck fear in her heart. Her previous bravado stemmed from the conviction that she could at least reincarnate and cultivate anew. Now, with even that possibility gone. It was impossible not to be afraid. Unaware of Bai He's fears, Su Mo approached her, admiration evident in his voice. "Impressive, keeping silent about this." "Though I'm unsure of your reasons, I’m determined to have you as my steed." "If you resist for a day, Yu Niao will suspend you for a day." "Refuse for a year, and it’ll be a year." "Eventually, you’ll consent to be my mount." To Bai He, Su Mo appeared nothing short of a demon. It wasn't unheard of for celestial cranes to become mounts for others. But such bonds required long-term emotional groundwork followed by solemn promises before the crane clan would even consider it. This man was far too domineering. Demanding her as his mount right off the bat. This thoughts brought sorrow to Bai He's heart, tears welling up in her eyes. Seeing Bai He about to cry, panic set into Su Mo, who was unused to seeing women cry. "Don’t cry." "I was just joking." Yet Bai He cried even louder, her tears cascading like rainfall. Yu Luoniao quickly stepped forward, pulling Su Mo aside. "My dear, this isn’t your forte." "The more you comfort her, the more she'll cry." Su Mo scratched his head, suddenly losing much of his interest in making the crane his mount. "Yu Niao, maybe we should just let it go." With Su Mo's words, Yu Luoniao began to reassure him. "Husband, I know you have a kind heart." "But she knows our secret now, and we can’t just let her go." "If she won't be a mount, we'll have to silence her for good." "Only then can we ensure your secrets remain safe." These words horrified Bai He. "I’ll do it, I’ll do it!" "Set me free, and I'll be your mount!" With a victorious smile, Yu Luoniao's eyes twinkled with delight. "Very well, then you'll sign a master-servant contract." Su Mo was intrigued. "A master-servant contract?" "Why haven’t you mentioned this before?" Yu Luoniao smirked playfully. "Husband, while playing with the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Net, I stumbled upon many fascinating methods." "I feared you might not approve, so I never spoke of them." "As for the master-servant contract," "It was an accidental discovery." "Once signed, should she ever harbor betrayal, the amplified seven emotions and six desires will agonize her to death!" Su Mo paid little heed to Yu Luoniao's later remarks.
