Su Mo was not woken up by Zhen Xiaoxiao's shouting.

Given his level of cultivation, it didn't really matter how late he rested or how long he slept.

By the crack of dawn, he had already opened his eyes.

But seeing Yang Xiaoyun sleeping soundly in his arms, he didn't feel like moving.

Soft jade and warm fragrance in his embrace, which man would willingly let go?

It wasn't until Zhen Xiaoxiao's clattering footsteps came from afar that Yang Xiaoyun was disturbed and opened her eyes.

Su Mo then sighed helplessly.

"Why?"

Upon waking up and seeing the disappointment on Su Mo's face, Yang Xiaoyun couldn't help but blink her eyes.

"I wanted to hold you a bit longer."

"Ugh."

Yang Xiaoyun couldn't help but click her tongue softly:

"Holding me every day isn't enough for you?"

"Not at all."

Su Mo shook his head:

"How could it ever be enough?"

"Hmph... All right, no more holding, Xiao Xiao is coming."

Yang Xiaoyun turned over and got up, pulling Su Mo up from the bed.

Su Mo curled his lips:

"So early in the morning, disturbing a good dream... punish her with three days of no meals."

"... You might as well give her three stabs and six holes."

"With her size, how long a blade would I need to give her three stabs and six holes?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoyun rolled her eyes at Su Mo but found it a bit strange:

"Xiao Xiao is restricted everywhere on the ship, her movements are inconvenient.

"If there's nothing special this early, she wouldn't specifically come over.

"Hurry up, get dressed, and see what she wants.

"This girl is reckless, if she pushes the door open, we can't be seen like this."

Su Mo nodded.

Luckily, Xiao Xiao walked slowly, taking careful steps, afraid of breaking the floor.

So by the time she reached outside the door, the couple had already dressed.

Yang Xiaoyun drowsily prepared water for Su Mo to wash his face.

Just as the water was ready, Zhen Xiaoxiao pushed the door open:

"Master, Second Master, were you looking for me?"

"..."

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun looked towards the door, feeling a bit confused:

"Who's looking for you?"

"Ah?"

Zhen Xiaoxiao blinked: "You were looking for me..."

"Hmm..."

Su Mo looked at her with a hint of thought: "What are you hiding in your arms?"

"Nothing!!"

Zhen Xiaoxiao immediately shook her head.

"You didn't wipe the oil off the corner of your mouth."

Hearing this, Zhen Xiaoxiao quickly wiped her mouth with her hand, muttering as she did:

"But I should have cleaned it off before coming."

"... Did you sneak food from the kitchen?"

Su Mo couldn't help glaring at her.

Zhen Xiaoxiao immediately lowered her head, her small eyes darting around, trying to come up with an excuse.

But limited by her brain, she couldn't find a reasonable explanation at the moment.

Moreover, she was puzzled in her heart, clearly, the Master and Second Master had someone summon her, why now were they acting as if they knew nothing?

Su Mo was also speechless, about to ask, why come over and beg for forgiveness just because you sneaked some food?

Then he heard footsteps coming from outside the door.

It was Song Yuanlong coming.

He told Su Mo that several carriages had come down from the ship.

They brought a lot of stuff, led by Wang Chengying and an old man.

Upon hearing this, Su Mo was a bit too busy to care about Zhen Xiaoxiao.

He led Yang Xiaoyun off the ship to greet them.

Standing below the ship were indeed the father and son of the Wang Family.

Upon seeing Su Mo, the father and son clasped their fists:

"Su, the Chief of the Escort."

"Master Wang, Young Master, after being up half the night, why are you up so early today?"

Su Mo clasped his fists in response and casually inquired.

The father and son exchanged a glance, and then Wang Chaosheng smiled:

"Su, the Chief of the Escort mentioned last night that we'd restock supplies on the island today and set sail again.

"You might have just mentioned it casually, but we can't afford to be unaware of this.

"Restocking supplies and such, is it necessary to trouble you personally?

"Last night, I had people prepare in haste. The items are quite good, Su, the Chief of the Escort can just have them loaded onto the ship."

Su Mo was a bit stunned, then laughed and said:

"Master Wang, you're too kind. How could I dare accept this?"

"Su, the Chief of the Escort, must not refuse."

Wang Chaosheng hurriedly said:

"The great kindness Su, the Chief of the Escort has shown our Wang family is enormous. These little things aren't worth much.

"It's difficult to express even a fraction of our gratitude. If Su, the Chief doesn't accept them, we really wouldn't know what to do."

"Very well."

Su Mo nodded. Since those words were spoken, refusing would be inappropriate.

He let Song Yuanlong lead people to move the items onto the ship.

Wang Chaosheng then took out a box.

The box appeared quite heavy. He handed it to Wang Chengying, who then presented it to Su Mo.

Su Mo was a bit surprised and was about to open it when Wang Chengying quickly said:

"Su, the Chief of the Escort should open it on the ship; it's a small token from the two of us.

"Though it's nothing significant, it could be useful.

"Additionally..."

Wang Chengying then took out a plaque from his bosom and handed it over.

Su Mo, unable to focus on the box, lifted his gaze to the plaque:

"This is the Guest Token of our Hundred Merchants Association!"

"..."

Su Mo was taken aback; it wasn't the first time he'd seen this Guest Token.

The last time he received one was from Manager Zhan.

Unexpectedly, he received another one here.

His first instinct was to refuse, as he already had too many plaques.

However, upon looking at the plaque in Wang Chengying's hand, Su Mo furrowed his brow slightly.
