Chapter 517: Chapter 515: The Stench Lasts a Thousand Years

What goes around comes around, the time has come.

"I’m sorry," Zhao Changsheng suddenly stopped and embraced Su Mo in his arms, "I shouldn’t have become weak because of that animal, I almost got you hurt..."

She was simply taken aback upon seeing them, slightly bewildered.

With a smile in her eyes, Su Mo held her slender waist and said, "Nope, I actually punished them, although they were eventually taken away by Lin Yao."

Her initial intention was merely to target Zhao Li behind the scenes and to disgust Lin Yao in passing; as for those thugs, she didn’t take them seriously.

"Li Qian... actually knew about it all along, didn’t he?" Zhao Changsheng asked through gritted teeth.

Turning her head to whisper in her ear, Su Mo said, "He almost lost his life for you, do you think he would care about such matters?"

"Zhao Changsheng, try to accept him, you will have a better life. For those bad people, if you don’t dare to act, I’ll kill them for you," Su Mo patted her back, seriously seeking her opinion.

Although Su Mo guessed that Zhao Changsheng wouldn’t actually do it, feeling it was too easy on them.

With a hint of ruthlessness in her words, Zhao Changsheng was silent for a while before saying, "I don’t want my secrets to be revealed, but I also wish for them to live in agony in this world, watching me shine."

"Great," Su Mo said with a smile as she let go of her, "Let’s go, we need to get back before it gets dark."

"Are the supplies all collected?" Li Qian turned back to look at the two sitting in the back seat.

With a nod, Su Mo answered, "Yeah, let’s head back first, they won’t finish so soon."

Her words carried depth, causing Zhao Changsheng to pinch her somewhat plump cheek playfully, saying, "Baby Mo, you’re getting naughty."

"Not at all, it was his own choice, we didn’t do anything," Su Mo replied with a mischievous smile.

The car returned to the refugee camp entrance, where they had to line up to get in. Su Mo glanced at the still-bright sky, noting it was just the afternoon, and suggested, "Let’s sit at my place for a while. It should be almost closing time, and we can all have dinner together when Lu Chen gets back tonight."

The two naturally had no objections, but Li Qian said, "I’ll go and call Mrs. Jiang and the others over, you two go ahead."

After getting out of the car, Su Mo winked at Li Qian and walked away with Zhao Changsheng.

Outside the restaurant, Jianxiong stood with a darkened face. Upon seeing Zhao Changsheng, his bright, bell-like eyes lit up for a moment before dimming again, "How did you two get back so early?"

"It’s nearby, so we came back quickly," Su Mo replied curiously, "What’s with you, not in a good mood today?"

"Sister... that thing."

"Su Mo!"

Hearing the gentle yet slightly urgent voice, Su Mo’s expression soured.

How does the old saying go? A foul stench lasts for a thousand years.

Su Niang’s death also had his contribution.

Her face turned cold as she raised her eyes to gaze at the man sitting inside her restaurant, "Why is it that any Tom, Dick, or Harry could come in?"

Jianxiong knew she would be angered and said, "I just went out to pee, and when I came back, I saw him seated with his order placed..."

He stood outside to refrain from making a scene in the restaurant.

"Has something happened, boss?" Bai Shitong stepped out and asked tentatively, "I’m the one who let him in."

"It’s fine, from now on, if you see that face, remember to put him on the blacklist," replied Su Mo, her grin devoid of any warmth.

"I knew I wasn’t wrong about you that day!" Mo Yan stood up excitedly, rushed out of the restaurant, and stood in front of her.

The love shining in his eyes almost made Su Mo nauseous, but she didn’t engage with him, instead looking down to ask Bai Shitong, "How many Crystal Stones did we collect?"

"50 Level 2 Crystal Stones."

"Haven’t the dishes been served yet?"

"The chef has just started cooking."

"That’s perfect, give the Crystal Stones back. It’s been tough for Feng Yao and the others being bodyguards every day. Take the dishes to them as snacks, and also prepare a few buckets of soup to send their way."

Su Mo said a lot in one breath and walked past Mo Yan, but unexpectedly, Mo Yan grabbed her wrist. His brow furrowed, his face was full of distress, "Does it have to be like this? I admit I was wrong before, but I had no choice!"

Su Mo broke free and forcefully grabbed Mo Yan’s collar to warn him, "Everyone is trying to survive, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but I’m only willing to tolerate you being alive. Times have changed, don’t provoke me. I’m not incapable of killing."

Su Mo’s eyes were fiercely threatening, and the intimidating aura she radiated was scarier than that of a Level 5 superpower user.

Mo Yan was actually frightened, asking in shock, "How many people have you killed?"

"How many?" Su Mo let go and pushed him onto his teammates, "More than the entire refugee camp."

She wasn’t just bragging. Although she didn’t have the memories of those killings, she had inherited their murderous aura.

Jianxiong even rolled up his fists appropriately, "If you don’t leave now, I’ll beat you to a pulp!"

Mo Yan’s gentle face twisted for a moment, but in the end, he just looked deeply at Su Mo and left.

Erin stood still, not leaving immediately but instead apologizing to Su Mo, "I’m also responsible for that incident. I stood by and did nothing. Sorry, Mo Yan is probably a bit anxious. They came from a university and now he’s the only one left. People in their team die and get replaced all the time."

Su Mo’s temper became slightly more restrained, but her tone was still unpleasant, "I’ve said it before, we’re all trying to survive. If he doesn’t want to die, he’d better walk around me when he sees me."

"What’s going on?" Li Qian, with his hands in his pockets, approached leisurely with Jiang Yulian and another.

Su Mo wasn’t sure if he saw Mo Yan or not, and could only hope that he would be lucky.

Erin saw Li Qian and also felt intimidated, avoiding those seemingly gentle but actually murderous eyes, she hurriedly left.

"It’s nothing. When Lu Chen returns, let’s have a meal together," Zhao Changsheng took the initiative to say.

She was about to pull Su Mo into the restaurant when her figure suddenly froze, and dazzling blue elements gathered around her.

An unexpected level-up.

Su Mo immediately turned and instructed, "Li Qian! Quickly carry her inside! There’s a bedroom on the third floor."

"How could the level-up happen so suddenly?" Jianxiong was also somewhat bewildered, following behind to lend a hand.

Li Qian was surprised but also expected it. He scooped her up in his arms, his steps a bit large, "The last couple of days she’s done nothing but absorb Crystal Stones in her room. And you brought a whole bunch more. A level-up is normal, it just won’t be stable."

Su Mo hadn’t expected her to be so fierce. After placing her on the bed, she sighed a breath of relief, "At least she’s getting stronger."

"I’ll need to disturb you," Li Qian gently removed Zhao Changsheng’s shoes, allowing her to lie down comfortably.

"It’s fine, she’s more important."

Looking at the darkening sky outside, Su Mo said, "Stay with her. I’ll go make dinner."

"Mhm."

Downstairs, the chef and Bai Shitong, the mother and son, were about to finish for the day.

Su Mo handed them two fish, "There should be a kitchen in the small building by the river. Take them home to eat."

"Thank you so much!" Bai Shitong accepted happily. Their current living space was very safe, they had a private room, and soldiers to guard them. He no longer feared being robbed!
