This night passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, the morning light shone brightly.

Little Situ was awakened by the slightly mischievous morning sunlight, feeling some backache and soreness, but her body was warm.

Opening her eyes, she found herself being held in Su Mo’s embrace.

In a moment of astonishment, her entire body tensed.

Instinctively, she wanted to get up and flee the scene.

But she quickly calmed down, sneaking a glance upwards to see if Su Mo had woken up.

Her eyes moved inch by inch and finally landed on Su Mo’s sleeping face, which put her at ease.

She began to recall what happened last night, wondering why the two of them were like this... Does this count as sleeping while embracing?

"I guess not... To be sleeping while embracing, I should be holding him too, right?

"Now it’s just him holding me..."

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but feel a secret joy in her heart.

Her thoughts then flew back to last night.

She remembered the words they exchanged last night, though they actually said a lot.

Following Su Mo all the way, many things happened.

If the separation in Wu Wang Forest left a mark in her heart,

then the journey to Nanhai, especially the Dragon Wood Island experience, made it clear that he was the one.

Originally, Little Situ wanted to keep these emotions suppressed in her heart.

But for some reason, she couldn’t hold back last night.

Whispering word by word, the two grew closer and closer.

Confused and muddled, it turned into the situation now.

"Did Brother Su accept me?"

Little Situ felt a flash of confusion, as strong joy surged in her heart.

Seeing Su Mo sleep sweetly, she couldn’t help but look at him happily.

The more she looked, the more handsome Su Mo seemed to be.

Even though he was currently in disguise, showing a big difference from his original appearance,

it didn’t hinder the image of him in her heart.

He was always so wise, calm, and omnipotent.

Truly a man who stands upright and holds up the sky!

Unable to resist, she leaned her face against Su Mo’s chest, gently rubbing to feel the warmth of his chest, feeling extremely secure and at ease.

Unable to resist again, she nestled twice more against his chest, with a smile on her lips, indulging in her delight while no one was around.

And just then, Su Mo’s voice suddenly came to her ears:

"They are up."

"!!!"

Little Situ’s face instantly turned bright red.

Quickly raising her head to look at Su Mo, she found that his eyes were already open and there was no trace of sleepiness in them.

"... Su, Su Mo, when did you wake up?"

Little Situ hurriedly asked.

Su Mo couldn’t help but chuckle:

"I didn’t sleep at all last night. How could I sleep during a night watch?"

Little Situ wished the ground would swallow her up whole.

So he knew everything just now, even her sneaky glances and the way she nuzzled against his chest!?

She wanted to die, what to do!?

Little Situ was completely petrified on the spot.

Su Mo looked at her with a smile, then lightly tapped her on the nose.

Though the force was gentle, it felt like the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

Little Situ felt her entire blood boiling.

Her mind was about to go blank.

Not knowing what to do next, she heard footsteps coming from inside the room.

Fang Hongying and the other girls came out.

Upon seeing Su Mo and Little Situ, everyone quickly paid their respects.

Then everyone went about their duties, sourcing materials locally to find food and drink, and preparing to cook.

The Jianghu belongs to people, and everyone needs food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.

A hero, despite their lofty moves, also needs to eat, drink, defecate, and urinate.

Evil demons may behave lawlessly, yet if locked up without food, they will starve eventually.

Even though this morning, a group of girls who had been confined for so long suddenly returned to a life state, it seemed odd yet extraordinarily real.

Fang Hongying glanced at Little Situ, whose face was flushed red, then looked at Su Mo, whose expression showed no ripples.

She pondered what on earth happened between the two just before... the look of them appeared peculiar.

But of course, she thought about it casually, as it had nothing to do with her.

At this moment, she softly said,

"Hero Su..."

"Hold on."

Su Mo gently waved a hand:

"You might not know, my identity is special, and I come to Xizhou under a different name to act low-key.

"It’s best not to call me Hero Su."

Fang Hongying had previously heard the Blood Lotus Sect Leader address him as the Nanhai Supreme, also calling him Su, the Chief of the Escort.

Though puzzled as to how an Escort Leader became the Nanhai Supreme,

yet Su Mo’s formidable martial arts made it seem only natural regardless of his true identity.

She nodded gently at once:

"Then I wonder how should we address you?"

"I was originally using the alias Wu Chengfeng, but now I am disguised to rescue people here.

"Now that you ask, I indeed don’t know how to address myself."

Su Mo chuckled wryly.

Hearing this, Fang Hongying also laughed:

"Then forget it, let’s just call you Benefactor.

"Benefactor, last night, I already conveyed your message to the sisters."

Su Mo nodded: "How did it go?"

"Sigh..."

Fang Hongying sighed:

"Those picked by the Blood Lotus Sect are usually not from ordinary families.

"Almost all have no family to rely on.

"Even those who have a few scattered relatives don’t know what the future holds, eventually deciding it’s better to follow Benefactor to Four direction City to make a living."
