Chapter 41: The Shameless Du Clan

  A huge ship was anchored on the sea surface, under the faint moonlight, it was a beautiful and magnificent scene.

  That sudden kiss left Su Mo stunned for a moment, falling into a daze and hesitation, and even involuntarily blanking out for a moment.

  But all she saw was the man's handsome face close at hand, a pair of eyes black and mysterious, with light constantly surging in his eyes, those eyes seemed to be the most beautiful and brightest black gemstones, making people sink into them, unknowingly, her heart surged with strange and absurd intimacy, but she still remembered what the so-called heavenly master said that day.

  How can you tell if he's her true soulmate?

  The closer two people are, the more they can feel each other's differences.

  Whenever she thought of those things, she felt uneasy all over, a wave of annoyance in her heart, and revealed an expression that was both unbelievable and elusive.

  After a while, he cursed and said, "How detestable! Could it be that those seven true sons of heaven are actually real?"

  If that were true... She suddenly felt a chill in her heart, and a sharp glint flashed in her eyes.

  Su Mo always thought that among the three thousand weak waters, only one scoop can be taken, and in a lifetime, one can only love one person.

  As for the person in front of him, he is naturally a noble and high-ranking young master, and the more extraordinary a man's status is, the more he likes to pursue novelty and excitement.

  So she had always been clear-headed and thought that the other party just regarded her as a target for hunting.

  And her eyes grew colder and more piercing, like the fire on the ice field, his kiss was like a wildfire sweeping across the plain, yet also like a spring breeze brushing past, one as cold as ice and the other as hot as fire.

  At this moment, Su Mo's deep eyes were filled with profound thoughts. The sea breeze came in waves, blowing the hair on their temples. In her arms, his breathing was light and elegant like a faint orchid. At such a close distance, there wasn't a single gap between them. Even the cool night wind on the sea couldn't extinguish the man's fiery passion. However, Su Mo's expression remained calm, and a cold smile played on his lips. He quickly mobilized his spiritual energy to keep his mind clear, placed his hands between them, and used his internal force to push her away.

  But unexpectedly, the man was even more demonic and charming, and he hugged her tightly. Su Mo immediately launched an attack on him with his lower body.

  She lifted her jade leg and swiftly arched back, her waist forming a rainbow-like curve, and her jade leg suddenly kicked out from behind to strike the opponent's face.

  Feeling the strong wind blowing, Yu Ran's half-closed black eyes immediately opened, and in an instant, the dim and evil charm in his eyes disappeared.

  Her toes swept across his cheek, a strong gust of wind disappeared, it was really virtual and real, real and virtual. She took advantage of his unpreparedness and bit him fiercely, also considered as biting back, the man let out a painful "hiss".

  Then Su Mo hooked his lips, moved his mind, and with a flick of his sleeve, the needles flew out of his sleeve and shot towards him.

  Yu Ran had just learned a lesson from his previous mistake and was already on guard in his heart.

  He leaped up and dodged three flying needles with a sidestep, then somersaulted in mid-air like a celestial being.

  Su Mo continued to swing his palm towards Yu Ran, who was skilled in knife techniques, but at this moment, she was not inferior to him in hand-to-hand combat.

  Yu's gaze flickered slightly, not expecting the other party's close combat skills to be so superb. After dodging left and right for a moment, her right hand lightly grasped his wrist, gently stroking the skin of his wrist like a master musician stroking his favorite strings. His thin lips had a radiant color, and he smiled: "Are you trying to murder your husband in vain? Or... were you not satisfied with what happened earlier? You don't look like it!"

  This bastard, just now she was gasping for air, and he actually teased her like this. Her narrowed eyes were full of cold intent, and her tone was filled with disdain: "Unfortunately, you're all bark and no bite, I don't like it!"

  Yu Ran listened to her insincere words, suddenly spinning around and moving behind her. He leaned in close to her ear, his eyes revealing a hint of a teasing smile as he said: "Qingqing, they say that familiarity breeds affection. Perhaps in the future, we can get closer and you'll naturally come to like me."

  "Shut up, someone's coming." Su Mo's eyes flashed with a cold light, his consciousness sensing that several people were approaching from not far away. Yu Ran immediately shifted her gaze to the side.

  She suddenly bent her elbow and struck a vicious blow to his ribs.

  Yu Ran couldn't help it and took in a mouthful of cold air.

  Yu Ran covered the painful spot and took a few steps back, rubbing it slightly. Then, she slowly and elegantly adjusted her clothes, her eyes smiling as she said: "As the ancients often say, 'beating is affection, scolding is love.' These words are not false, you have indeed pleased me."

  "Shameless." Su Mo patted the dust off his body, then slowly adjusted his attire, and the two of them acted as if nothing had happened.

  In the distance, a few people gradually approached, with two tall and handsome men walking in front.

  One of them is Su Mo's second brother, Su Huan.

  Another man was someone Su Mo had never seen before.

  The man had a young and handsome face, with short and unkempt hair, wearing a dark purple long gown inside, and a fishing net-like half-body side garment outside. He had broad shoulders and narrow hips, his figure was tall and perfect, and at first glance, he looked like an expert in martial arts. A Tianjing stone earring hung from his right earlobe, his hands were clasped behind his back, and his eyes gazed at Su Mo and Yu Ran with a hint of curiosity and inquiry, also a man with outstanding looks.

  He looked at Su Mo and then at Yu Ran's lips, his eyes seeming to smile but not quite.

  His gaze remained on Yu Ran's lips, but saw that they had been bitten and had deep teeth marks.

  But Su Mo only glanced at him, and his heart "thudded" as he had already guessed that this man must have an exceptionally strong divine sense.

  Just now, she and Yu Ran's scene must have been seen by him completely. Her eyebrows condensed, and she involuntarily turned her face away in extreme embarrassment.

  Yu Ran and he exchanged a long glance, the two men hooked their lips, without saying a word, with deep meaning in their eyes.

  "Su Mo, you're finally back?" Su Huan walked over, her eyes filled with worry as she looked at Su Mo.

  "Second brother, why are you still not resting at this late hour?" Su Mo looked at Su Huan, and his heart felt a warmth.

  "I've been waiting for you, you didn't come back last night, I was naturally very worried."

  "Second brother, I often go out on missions outside the city gate, it's nothing, you can rest assured."

  "I'm relieved, but..."

  Suddenly a woman's sharp voice interrupted his words, "Second Brother, it's never a good thing for a girl to stay out overnight. Although the Su family is a business family, they are also respectable people. Girls should understand the three obediences and four virtues. You're really neglecting to discipline her!"

  Su Mo raised her eyes to look at the woman speaking across from her, her gaze was cold and clear as she stared at her opponent, a hint of chill flashing in her eyes, but seeing that the other party was an eighteen or nineteen year old young madam, with ordinary looks, yet appearing luxurious and noble, this woman was a concubine-born miss of a noble family, also her current second sister-in-law Du Shi.

  Detecting the sarcasm in her words, Su Mo's mind gradually recalled scenes from his past life, and he slowly remembered that Du Shi and the Su sisters had been at odds with each other since their previous lives.

  When Su's family was still prosperous, Second Brother had already become engaged to Miss Du.

  Later, Du married into the Su family with great fanfare, but Mr. Su soon passed away, and from then on, the Su family's business declined sharply.

  It wasn't until later that the Du family gradually began to prosper, with the support of their maternal family. When they saw the Su siblings, they always had an air of superiority, pointing and commanding, looking down on them from a high position.

  Su Mo remembered that after her pure yin body was exposed, she was about to escape when her second brother took out all his private savings to protect her. However, Du Shi was not reliable and even secretly informed on her in order to get a reward, causing her to eventually fall into the hands of the powerful.

  It is said that later, Du's family looked down on Su Huan's cowardice and uselessness. When Su Huan fell ill, they did not invite a doctor, but instead took away the remaining wealth of the Su family.

  Without money or wealth, without slaves or servants, without soup or medicine, Su Huan was annoyed and worried, her mind and body exhausted, and soon her illness worsened, and she died of depression.

  Du Shi was a heartless and ruthless person who would kick others when they were down. She had no sense of justice or morality, and her only desire was to remarry. But in the end, she also died an unjust death.

  From start to finish, Su Mo didn't even get to see Su Wei's last face.

  Reborn, Su Mo wasn't a narrow-minded person, but towards this despicable and shameless woman, she didn't have the intention to indulge her. Thinking of her second brother Su Huan's miserable fate in his past life, she coldly stared at Du Shi, her eyes as frosty as snow.

  At this moment, Du's gaze swept across Su Mo, seeing the other party in a clear and cold youth attire, with clothes fluttering lightly in the wind. Those enchanting phoenix eyes were like two icy pools, carrying an inexplicable cool aura. Every posture, every eye movement possessed elegant and noble demeanor, extremely beautiful. Although revealing his true appearance, his temperament seemed to be vastly different from a month ago.

  In an instant, Du saw a hint of unnoticeable pain and hatred in the other's beautiful eyes.

  A deep sense of unease immediately surged up in her heart, and she felt a chill run down her spine, as if something was staring at her that she couldn't bear to look at.

  She took a step back, feeling uneasy, but remembering her purpose, she hummed softly and looked at her with a critical gaze: "Fifth sister indeed has a good appearance, indeed has some charm, but it's not Second Aunt who is hitting you. A woman can't just rely on looks, don't think that being pretty will let you climb up the social ladder? You're a woman who could be divorced at any time, do you think you have a good reputation? Most men only like women from respectable families, do you think a woman who runs around in the streets can marry well?"

  Her words were sharp and unkind, thinking that the other was an unmarried girl, every sentence pierced her heart.

  "Oh?" Su Mo's lips curled slightly, staring at her with a cold and elegant gaze.

  "What nonsense are you talking about? It's clear that Wu Mei doesn't want to marry Mu Wuhen, where is the talk of being jilted?" Su Huan scolded.

  "What's the difference? Either way, it's about breaking off an engagement with someone." Du Shi let out a light snort, her face full of disdain.

  Su He's eyes sank, and he hastily looked at Su Mo and said: "Don't blame your fifth sister, it wasn't what your second sister meant. It was I who asked your second sister to pay attention to some noble families for you. You and the Shu family will eventually break off the engagement anyway. After all, a girl's marriage is her ultimate destination."

  "Not bad, a girl marrying well is the right path." Du Shi looked down on Su Mo with an air of superiority, then glanced at the short-haired man beside her and said with a pleased expression: "This young master Xia Feng is a distant relative of the Xia family, barely considered a member of the Xia family. The Xia family is not just any ordinary family, it's scary to even mention them. My Du family has recently been cooperating with the Xia family on some business ventures. This person can be considered one of the outstanding young talents of his generation. I've also made inquiries and found out that many people under him don't have wives or concubines. Why not let Su Mo marry a guard as a concubine, it's not a bad idea either."
