"No, why would I lie to you? Besides, being able to charge this much is already pretty good."

The Forging Creator·Devourer replied casually, as if it were the most normal thing in the world.

Su Mo coughed awkwardly, then joked: "Little Devourer, don't you think it's a bit useless that you spent so many energy stones to charge so little energy! As far as I know, charging is easier in the beginning and becomes more difficult later on. How much energy do you need to be full? If I remember correctly, those brand-new optical brains in the mall only sell for one hundred billion?"

"Humph, how can I be compared to those trash?"

The Forging Creator·Devourer replied proudly.

Su Mo's eyes lit up. He guessed correctly. The Forging Creator was definitely not comparable to ordinary optical brains, so he asked curiously.

"What level of optical brain are you?"

Unfortunately, the Forging Creator·Devourer directly chose to ignore Su Mo.

"Say something, will you?"

Su Mo asked painfully. This guy always went mute at critical moments.

Although he was helpless, there was nothing he could do. If this guy didn't want to say something, it was useless no matter how much you bothered it.

Su Mo even suspected that the Forging Creator·Devourer was deliberately blocking him.

Just then, Su Mo's phone vibrated.

Su Mo picked it up and saw that the caller ID was Sun Duoxiang, so he answered it.

"Boss, how did things go? Did the share come down?"

Sun Duoxiang asked anxiously.

"The share has been confirmed, no problem. But it takes some procedures, and it won't be credited until next month."

Su Mo told Sun Duoxiang directly.

"Directly give star coins? That's even better. It's more troublesome to handle the supplies myself. Next month is fine, then."

Sun Duoxiang replied excitedly.

"Okay, you hold on for now. Give out the pensions that need to be given out. Don't let the people below lose heart. When the money comes, I'll transfer it to you first."

Su Mo instructed Sun Duoxiang, after all, Sun Duoxiang's subordinates suffered the most casualties in this battle.

"Boss, don't worry, I know what to do. I still have some savings here, enough to cope with it."

Sun Duoxiang patted his chest and replied.

"That's good. Tell Xiao Wen and Mo Bake about the situation too. I won't call them. Let them focus on the aftermath."

Su Mo thought for a moment and instructed.

"Okay, boss, don't worry, definitely no problem."

Sun Duoxiang repeatedly assured him on the phone.

Su Mo then hung up the phone. He looked up at his surroundings and found that many people were watching him.

Su Mo's mouth twitched slightly. Wearing this cloak really had a high rate of turning heads. He should leave quickly.

What if some righteous guy reports him?

So Su Mo walked towards the Morningstar Group.

......

Not long after, Su Mo arrived at the entrance of the Morningstar Group building. Just as he was about to enter, he was stopped by the security guard at the door.

"Who are you?"

Su Mo looked up and said, "It's me."

The security guard looked closely at Su Mo's appearance and was surprised.

"Supervisor Su, why are you dressed like this? We thought you were some suspicious person."

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

Su Mo waved his hand and replied.

At this moment, a surprised voice sounded.

"Su Mo, you're back? Why are you dressed like this?"

Zhao Han, who happened to be passing by, asked in surprise.

"Cough, cough, it's nothing. I just think this outfit is cool and mysterious, so I bought one to wear for fun. Oh, by the way, is Qian Chengxue at the company? I'll go find her first."

Su Mo said vaguely.

"Sister Xue isn't at the company. She's at the Lin family. Because something happened to the Lin family recently, she went back to help coordinate. She's been working at the Lin family recently."

Zhao Han thought for a moment and said to Su Mo.

"Oh, she went to the Lin family. I wanted to give her a surprise. Zhao Han, can you lend me your hovercar?"

Su Mo had no choice but to shamelessly borrow Zhao Han's car.

Zhao Han was not stingy and directly handed the keys to Su Mo, saying, "Drive carefully. I just bought it."

"Don't worry. Oh, by the way, don't tell her."

Su Mo replied with a smile.

"I'm almost busy to death. I don't have time! And are you embarrassed, flaunting your love here?"

Zhao Han rolled her eyes at Su Mo.

"Haha, I didn't say anything. I'm leaving!"

Su Mo turned and left.

......

Not long after, Su Mo drove the hovercar to the gate of the Lin family manor.

The guards stopped Su Mo and verified his identity.

"Hello, who are you? Do you have an appointment?"

"My name is Su Mo. I've been here before. I'm here to see Qian Chengxue."

Su Mo took out his ID card and handed it over.

The captain, who was in charge, carefully looked at Su Mo's ID card and then glanced at Su Mo's attire. Although he felt it was strange, he didn't say anything after confirming it was him.

"Mr. Su Mo, please come in."

Lin Yaotian had specifically instructed the people below after Qian Chengxue brought Su Mo to his house for the first time that Su Mo could freely enter and leave the Lin family.

Of course, Lin Yaotian didn't deliberately mention this matter.

Soon, Su Mo drove the car into the manor. He found a place to park and then got out of the car and walked towards the villa.

The Lin family was unusually quiet today. Su Mo looked around and didn't see many servants.

Just as Su Mo was walking forward, a vigilant voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Stop."

Su Mo paused slightly, then turned his head to look over. He saw a young and beautiful woman in a blue dress standing behind him. The woman's eyes were very beautiful, a bit narrow, but not lacking in spirit. Her slender eyebrows revealed the aura of an aristocratic lady.

"You are?"

Su Mo curiously sized up the woman in front of him. He felt like he had seen her somewhere before. Suddenly, he remembered that this seemed to be Qian Chengxue's older sister, Lin Yuxin.

"I should be asking you that. Who are you? Why are you walking around the Lin family?"

Lin Yuxin looked at Su Mo warily, mainly because his attire was too strange. He was wearing a cloak in such hot weather, as if he couldn't be seen. In addition, she instinctively felt that the man in front of her seemed very dangerous.

"I'm Su Mo. I'm here to see Qian Chengxue. I don't have any malicious intentions."

Su Mo could tell that the other party had some misunderstandings.

Hearing Su Mo's self-introduction, Lin Yuxin was also slightly stunned. Then she sized Su Mo up and looked at him carefully. It seemed like he really was Su Mo.

She had seen Su Mo more or less and knew something about him and Qian Chengxue.

"So you're here to see my sister. My sister is in the room at the end of the west side of the second floor."

"Thank you, then I'll go first."

Su Mo thanked her and then left.

Lin Yuxin looked at Su Mo's leaving figure with a thoughtful expression.

Not long after, Su Mo found Qian Chengxue's room according to Lin Yuxin's instructions. The door was ajar and not closed.

He gently pushed the door open a little, and saw Qian Chengxue sitting at her desk, carefully reviewing the report documents, very focused and serious.

So much so that she didn't notice Su Mo coming in.

Su Mo looked at Qian Chengxue, who was working intently, with a faint smile on his lips, and whispered.

"I'm back."

Qian Chengxue's body trembled slightly when she heard Su Mo's words.

She got up and looked at Su Mo, with a faint smile on her face.

Su Mo also smiled and opened his arms to hug Qian Chengxue. Qian Chengxue greeted him, and then reached out and accurately grabbed Su Mo's ear.

"Ah! It hurts!"

"You still know to come back? Do you know how dangerous it is outside now? I was so worried."

Qian Chengxue scolded coldly.

During this period, the Federation and the Empire army broke out fierce conflicts, and Qian Chengxue was worried that Su Mo would participate, and she tossed and turned every night.

"Wuwu~ I'm back, aren't I?"

Su Mo replied with a bitter face. He finally saw how terrifying his wife was when she was fierce.

Just then, Qian Chengxue suddenly noticed the dark red polluted blood纹 (wén - veins) on Su Mo's neck. She froze suddenly, and all her anger disappeared.

Qian Chengxue quickly raised her hand to remove Su Mo's hood, and carefully looked at it. All below the neck were shocking polluted blood痕 (hén - marks).

In an instant, Qian Chengxue's expression showed a hint of anger.

Seeing the angry expression on Qian Chengxue's face, Su Mo's heart was raised, and he didn't know what to do.

"Su Mo, tell me, did you go to war behind my back?"

Qian Chengxue stared at Su Mo, questioning him with both heartache and anger.

Su Mo scratched his head and replied somewhat guiltily: "Cough cough, well, there's no way, I can't stand idly by in this situation."

Qian Chengxue bit her lip lightly and said worriedly: "I know, but your body..."

"Don't be angry, it'll be fine after a period of recuperation. I promise this is the last time, I definitely won't hide it from you next time."

Su Mo quickly apologized.

Hearing Su Mo say this, the anger on Qian Chengxue's face disappeared, leaving only heartache.

She reached out and gently stroked Su Mo's pale cheeks, saying with heartache.

"Okay."

Su Mo felt warm in his heart, and he reached out and held Qian Chengxue's soft hand.

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere became more and more intimate.

Qian Chengxue and Su Mo couldn't help but kiss each other, just as their lips were about to touch.

Bang~

The ajar door was suddenly pushed open!

"Su Mo, you're too much."

A voice full of annoyance sounded, and Lin Xiaoyu rushed in angrily.

Su Mo and Qian Chengxue were startled and quickly separated.

Qian Chengxue looked at Lin Xiaoyu, who had rushed in, calmed down, and asked: "Sister, what's wrong?"

Su Mo also looked at Lin Xiaoyu with a puzzled face: "Yeah? What did I do wrong?"

Lin Xiaoyu ignored Qian Chengxue and stared at Su Mo resentfully: "I heard it all! You promised to take me to exciting things, but you didn't call me to fight the Empire army? I finally got an IV-generation mecha!"

Su Mo's expression was very wonderful after hearing Lin Xiaoyu's words. This little aunt was really not ordinary crazy.

Such a serious thing as fighting the Empire army, she thought it was fun. You must know that the Empire army is not ordinary fierce. But Su Mo thought about it carefully, with Lin Xiaoyu's character, she was really not afraid.

"Lin Xiaoyu, don't make trouble, it's so dangerous, how can Su Mo take you."

Qian Chengxue frowned and taught.

"It's none of your business, I didn't talk to you."

Lin Xiaoyu didn't listen to Qian Chengxue at all.

"Cough cough, your sister is also doing it for your own good, isn't she afraid that something will happen to you? Besides, if I take you, your father will have to break my legs."

Su Mo quickly coordinated from it.

"My father is so busy recently that he can't control me, but this time it's okay, if there is such a fun thing next time and you don't take me, I'm not done with you."

Lin Xiaoyu stared at Su Mo, with an angry look on her face.

"Okay, okay..."

Su Mo quickly laughed.

"Humph!"

Lin Xiaoyu turned and left directly.

Leaving only Su Mo and Qian Chengxue in the room.

Qian Chengxue said apologetically: "Sorry, my sister is a bit ignorant, don't mind, she is actually a good person."

"Haha, don't worry, it's okay, we get along well, and she's quite interesting."

Su Mo replied with a smile.

Seeing that Su Mo was not angry, Qian Chengxue said to him: "You should be very tired these days, I'll get you a set of clothes, you take a bath first."

"Okay."

Su Mo nodded.

Then Qian Chengxue took out a whole set of brand new clothes from the cabinet. Su Mo glanced at it and found that there were many sets in the cabinet. Qian Chengxue should have bought them for him.

"Try it on to see if it fits, if it doesn't fit, there are several other sets here."

Qian Chengxue handed the clothes to Su Mo.

"It must fit."

Su Mo took it over and looked at it. He found that the set Qian Chengxue gave him was high-necked, which could well cover the痕迹 (hénjì - traces) on his neck, which was very considerate.

"Go wash up, we'll have lunch together later."

Qian Chengxue softly instructed.

"Okay!"

Su Mo took out his phone and other things from his pocket and put them on the desk, and walked towards the bathroom.

Soon, the sound of rushing water came from the bathroom.

Qian Chengxue walked to her desk and put away the unfinished documents.

Buzz~

At this time, the phone that Su Mo put on the table vibrated.

Qian Chengxue subconsciously glanced at it, and saw Su Mo's phone screen light up.

A text message popped up.

The name noted in the text message was Lin Zinuo.

"Su Mo, how have you been recently? I haven't heard from you for a while. I'll tell you a good news. My father's health has almost recovered. It's just that he recently participated in a Federation special project and is going to stay in Zone M. His health is just right, I'm not too worried, so I have to stay and act as his assistant, I can't go back to find you, what a pity. Also, I heard my father and them chatting, saying that the situation has been turbulent recently, has your side been affected? Pay attention to safety..."

Qian Chengxue was slightly stunned, and then turned her gaze back and continued to sort out the documents in her hand.

.......

After a while, Su Mo took a comfortable hot bath, changed into a set of high-necked clothes and walked out of the bathroom. His hair was slightly wet, and he looked particularly charming.

He walked to the desk, picked up the phone and glanced at it, and found Lin Zinuo's message.

For a moment, he felt inexplicably guilty, raised his head and glanced at Qian Chengxue, and then opened the short message and glanced at it.

Then he put the phone in his pocket, and he didn't even know what he was feeling guilty about.

"Did you wash up? Do you feel more comfortable?"

Qian Chengxue walked over and asked.

"Yes, taking a hot bath makes me feel much more energetic."

Su Mo replied somewhat guiltily, and then he kept complaining to himself in his heart, why is he feeling guilty, he didn't do anything wrong.

"Let's go, let's go eat."

Qian Chengxue said to Su Mo.

"Okay."

Su Mo took a deep breath and was a little nervous.

Seeing Su Mo inhaling, Qian Chengxue smiled at him and said: "Don't be so nervous, my father is coordinating supplies recently and is very busy not at home, my mother basically won't come out if nothing happens, Lin Ming and the others are not here, there are only a few sisters in the family."

"Oh, then there's nothing to be nervous about."

Su Mo squeezed out a smile and said, relieved.

Qian Chengxue smiled dumbly and took Su Mo to the restaurant.

Not long after, they came to the restaurant, and a sumptuous lunch was laid out on the long dining table.

But only Lin Xiaoyu was sitting, and the other seats were empty.

Su Mo and Qian Chengxue sat opposite Lin Xiaoyu.

At this time, the housekeeper who was waiting next to him came up and took off the insulation cover on the plate, and then retreated.

Su Mo and the three picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

Qian Chengxue clipped a lot of dishes for Su Mo and instructed him.

"Eat more."

"Okay."

Su Mo replied very happily.

Lin Xiaoyu, who was sitting opposite, asked Su Mo excitedly: "Su Mo, which Empire army did you attack this time, why didn't I search for your relevant information!"

"Cough cough, I was just strolling around and casually participating, not the main force."

Su Mo changed the subject painfully.

"I don't believe it, I saw the negative energy blood痕 (hénjì - marks) on your body, can a top expert force you to this point? Tell me about it."

Lin Xiaoyu's eyes were full of expectation, Su Mo's strength she had seen with her own eyes, driving an IV-generation pure mechanical mecha dared to head-to-head with a pseudo-V-generation mecha, although she finally escaped, but it was also very terrifying.

After hearing this, Su Mo also touched his forehead. Seeing her posture, if she didn't ask something, she wouldn't give up, so he whispered to Lin Xiaoyu.

"I'll tell you a little, but you can't say it, and you can't ask any more questions, I won't say it if you ask."

"Okay."

Lin Xiaoyu agreed happily.

"I fought the Allied Forces of the three strongest empires, and I also solved Yastin of the Gomotos Empire by the way."

Su Mo said in a low voice.

"Wow, that's so cool!"

Hearing Su Mo's words, Lin Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, and the way she looked at Su Mo became more and more fiery.

Qian Chengxue, who was on the side, was also very shocked to hear this. Yastin of the Gomotos Empire was a very famous top expert, but she didn't expect to fall into Su Mo's hands.

Moreover, this matter has not been heard from beginning to end.

Of course, they would not suspect that Su Mo was bragging.

"Okay, don't say these, eat well."

Seeing Lin Xiaoyu's shining eyes, Su Mo's head became more and more painful. He knew that saying it was the result.

The three continued to eat, and the restaurant became quiet for a while.

At this time, Qian Chengxue, who was eating, raised her head and suddenly said: "Su Mo, can I ask you something?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

Su Mo replied in confusion.

"Have you been in contact with other girls recently?"

Qian Chengxue asked gently.

Hearing Qian Chengxue's question, Su Mo felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his heart suddenly shrank.

"Uh, well... listen to me explain."

Su Mo knew that Qian Chengxue was most likely talking about Lin Zinuo, so he quickly explained.

Lin Xiaoyu, who was sitting opposite, usually had no interest in this kind of thing, but it was different for Su Mo, she said in surprise.

"Brother-in-law, you're already looking for a mistress so soon!"

"Cough cough, don't talk nonsense! Xue'er, listen to me."

Su Mo was almost choked to death by his own saliva when he heard Lin Xiaoyu's words.

"Don't be so nervous, it's not a big deal, I'm just asking."

Qian Chengxue replied with a smile.

"No, no, let me argue, not explain."

Seeing Qian Chengxue so calm and not angry at all, Su Mo felt even more terrified.

"Okay! Look at how anxious you are, I just want to tell you that it doesn't matter if there are any, as long as you don't put it on the bright side."

"Ah? What are you talking about?"

Su Mo was dumbfounded.

"I mean, it's normal to have a few confidantes, just be careful yourself."

Qian Chengxue said with a smile, under normal circumstances, if it were ordinary people or people from small families, they would definitely not be able to accept it.

But for Qian Chengxue, who came from a big family, this was normal.

Not to mention, her own father, Lin Yaotian, and her adoptive father, Ye Tian, ​​both married more than one, and she was used to it.

In addition, Su Mo was so good, and his strength was so strong, it was very normal for someone to like him.

"What my sister said is right, isn't this a normal thing?"

Lin Xiaoyu tilted her head and said.

"It's not normal, can't you say something nice for me?"

Su Mo replied to Lin Xiaoyu with a black line on his face.

At this time, Lin Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said to Qian Chengxue: "That's right, sister, I also think Su Mo is very good, it's better to take advantage of me than to let others take advantage of him, what do you think?"

Su Mo almost vomited blood when he heard this. He stood up directly and was so scared that he almost had a heart attack.

"Don't mess around, there should be a limit to joking."

"I'm telling the truth, right, sister?"

Lin Xiaoyu looked at Qian Chengxue with a smile.

Qian Chengxue touched her forehead and said with a headache: "Okay Xiaoyu, stop messing around, eat."

"Boring, you eat."

Lin Xiaoyu stood up and left directly.

Su Mo took a deep breath and said to Qian Chengxue: "Don't make such jokes next time, there's really nothing, let's eat, after eating I'll go out for a walk with you."

"Okay."

Qian Chengxue nodded and replied with a smile.

......

---------------------------------------------

Half a month later, Su Mo sat on a chair in Qian Chengxue's room, browsing the Star Ring Forum with his mobile phone.

Qian Chengxue was sitting at the desk, sorting out the thick documents.

Su Mo put away his phone and stretched his waist, then looked at Qian Chengxue and found that she was still working.

So he walked behind her, raised his hands to massage Qian Chengxue's shoulders and spine, and said softly.

"It's late, are you still busy?"

"Well, my father is raising supplies for the front line recently, these are all donated by my father through his personal relationships. I need to sort and classify them, and optimally select the useful ones. For the other more tasteless donated materials, I need to find a way to package them and exchange them for star coins, these things must be completed as soon as possible."

Qian Chengxue explained helplessly.

"Hard work."

Su Mo said.

"It's not hard work, I'm just doing what I can. The supply gap on the front line is a bottomless pit. My elder brothers are also on the front line, and they are living an extremely hard life. We just try our best to help a little bit, it's very late now, you go to rest quickly, your body is not fully recovered yet."

Qian Chengxue turned her head, and a tired face showed a smile.

Su Mo was also a little distressed, and he also knew that Qian Chengxue was indeed very busy during this time.

On the one hand, she had to help Lin Yaotian prepare supplies, and on the other hand, she had to maintain the operation of the Morningstar Group. Since the last war.

The situation in various countries is even more turbulent now.

The starry sky is even more chaotic, if the probability of interstellar ships encountering attacks was about 5% before, now it has basically soared to 90%.

In other words, going out now is basically a 90% chance of death.

As a result, no one dares to go out, and the economies of various civilizations have experienced serious problems.
