Chapter 871: Chapter 358: Visitor from Nanhai
This single call made Su Mo’s heart tingle.
Gently exhaling, he forcibly suppressed his inner excitement and softly asked:
“Have you eaten?”
Yang Xiaoyun gently shook her head:
“Since you haven’t returned, I’m naturally sitting here waiting, unable to eat anything…”
“As children of the Jianghu, we don’t bother with such formalities.”
Su Mo reached out and tapped her nose:
“Now you’re acting all honest?”
He grasped her hand and led her to the table.
A whole table of food and wine, with dishes aplenty.
However, by now, most of it had gone cold.
Su Mo picked up an empty bowl, choosing some of her favorite dishes to set aside for her.
Yang Xiaoyun picked up the wine jug and poured them both a cup of wine.
“Eat a bit first, with something in your stomach, you won’t get drunk easily.”
Su Mo placed the bowl and chopsticks in front of Yang Xiaoyun.
Yang Xiaoyun’s eyes sparkled as she nodded and began eating and drinking little by little.
Su Mo propped his chin with his arm, watching her quietly.
Under his gaze, Yang Xiaoyun’s face turned red.
“Xiao Mo… husband, why are you looking at me like that?”
“Years of conspiracy finally succeeding, now that you’ve entered the Su family’s gate, you’re finally the delicious meat in my bowl, don’t I deserve a few more looks?”
Su Mo adopted a teasing tone, full of the satisfaction of a successful scheme.
Yang Xiaoyun was immediately embarrassed, casting Su Mo two fierce glances, which somewhat dispelled the slightly tense atmosphere.
She then asked:
“Was everything peaceful at the wedding banquet today?”
“This wedding banquet gathered heroes from all over Donghuang, sects, gangs, escort agencies—Jianghu’s top forces and ace martial artists.
“Who would dare cause trouble today?”
“That’s true.”
Yang Xiaoyun promptly nodded: “But there was great excitement yesterday. While staying at the Iron Blood Escort Agency, I heard the news. Donghuang Escort Alliance, Alliance Leader Su…”
She smiled slightly, cupping her fists and said:
“I must bid my respects.”
Su Mo tilted his head slightly: “No need for such formalities.”
The couple exchanged a smile at this point.
Yang Xiaoyun then sighed:
“Dongcheng Seven Sects and Southwest Three Gangs vouched together.
“Since the founding of the Donghuang Escort Alliance, Ziyang Escort Agency has firmly rooted itself in Donghuang.
“Husband, when shall we take a trip to the Nanhai?”
“I’m afraid this matter can’t be rushed.”
Su Mo picked up his chopsticks and ate a bit; this afternoon to evening, he was busy with drinking, too many guests to entertain.
Su Mo, the top expert in Donghuang, at his own wedding feast, barely had time to eat a bite.
“Hmm…”
Yang Xiaoyun nodded slightly: “The Donghuang Escort Alliance has just been established, indeed we can’t leave immediately. Many issues are likely to arise with its inception. We must watch over it, leaving now might offer an opportunistic chance.
“Once everything stabilizes, then it’ll be the right time to set sail.”
“That’s indeed the case.”
Su Mo smiled gently: “Moreover, regarding going overseas, we need to consult with the Luofeng Alliance. Their trade ships navigate the sea, and they’d likely know the ropes better than we do.
“In short, before heading out to sea, we must prepare well.
“However…”
He paused, his brow furrowing slightly.
“What’s the matter?”
“That store manager… might now also be at sea.”
Su Mo recounted to Yang Xiaoyun the previous night’s discussion with the sect leaders about the Da You Bank’s store manager.
After listening, Yang Xiaoyun’s brow furrowed tightly:
“The vast expanse of the Nanhai, with him swimming into the sea, where could we possibly find him?”
“So this matter can’t be rushed either.”
Su Mo stretched his muscles and looked at the night outside:
“All these trivial matters, let’s leave them for another day.
“It’s late… my lady, we should go to bed.”
With a single sentence, Yang Xiaoyun was once again overwhelmed with shyness.
Hurriedly shoveling food into her mouth, she then raised her wine cup:
“Cheers!”
“??”
Su Mo was taken aback: “Wedding Wine? That’s not how you drink it!”
Only then did Yang Xiaoyun extend her arm, intertwining it with Su Mo’s, and the two drank a cup together, gazing into each other’s eyes.
The next moment, Su Mo reached out to lift Yang Xiaoyun horizontally, and Yang Xiaoyun, like an ostrich startled, buried her head completely into Su Mo’s chest.
When Su Mo placed her on the bed and was about to get up, he noticed that Yang Xiaoyun’s hands, wrapped tightly around his neck, held him there.
He couldn’t help but be stunned:
“My lady, let me up to draw the bed curtains.”
Yang Xiaoyun was unwilling, pulling him down forcefully:
“After years of plotting and scheming, husband, you’ve finally become my piece of delicious meat.”
“!!!”
Su Mo was utterly astonished, what was this?
The hunter’s trick was finally revealed?
A clever hunter always disguises themselves as prey?
Su Mo quickly said: “Wait, my lady… there are people eavesdropping outside.”
“We must give them a proper explanation.”
Yang Xiaoyun suddenly flipped over, pressing Su Mo beneath her, and took a deep breath, exhaling sharply, causing the red candle to flicker violently before extinguishing with a puff.
The new room instantly plunged into darkness.
Only rustling sounds were heard, and the maids eavesdropping outside the walls soon found their faces flushed with embarrassment.
Exchanging glances, looking at each other, they finally tiptoed away carefully.
