Chapter 133 - 130: Jin Tong Is in the Village
Nannan and Dongdong came stumbling toward her.
"Sister Mo!"
Su Mo reached out and touched the small horns on their heads, then raised her eyes to meet Long Yan’s gaze.
Long Yan’s fervent, focused gaze landed on her face as he said politely, "Miss Su."
Su Mo smiled and nodded. "I went to the Clan Leader’s home just now but didn’t see you, Lord Major General. I thought you had already left."
Long Yan immediately explained, "With the Clan Leader’s accident, it didn’t feel right to leave without saying a formal goodbye, so... I wasn’t in a hurry to go back."
Yue Ying, standing to the side, wanted to roll his eyes. ’What does the Clan Leader being in a coma have to do with a dragon like you?’
’I thought my rivals would back off on their own after we got married. Who knew they’d just cling even tighter...’
’These shameless bastards! They’re going to be the death of me!’
Long Yan looked at Su Mo and said with utmost sincerity, "I won’t be leaving North Wing for the time being. Miss Su, if you need help with anything, please don’t hesitate to ask."
Su Mo’s eyes crinkled as she nodded. "Okay."
Dongdong hugged Su Mo’s leg and asked with a wide grin, "Sister Mo, can we stay and play with you for a bit?"
Su Mo nodded. "Sure."
Nannan stammered, "Sister Mo, actually... I really miss the stir-fried rabbit you make~"
Su Mo’s eyes narrowed playfully. "I’ll make it for you tonight!"
"That’s great! Thank you, Sister Mo!"
That evening, when Mo Xiao returned, he saw Su Mo playing cards in the courtyard with Cang Lan, Ye Yuan, and Long Yan.
"A straight!"
"Bomb!"
"I win!"
Su Mo raised her hand and stuck a paper note on Long Yan’s face!
Mo Xiao glanced over. The three of them were truly neck and neck in their losses.
He turned his head slightly and met Yue Ying’s resentful gaze. Mo Xiao chuckled softly.
’If someone is determined to be jealous, they’ll never run out of things to be sour about.’
Yue Ying gritted his teeth, looking at Mo Xiao’s calm and unruffled expression, his heart filled with indignation.
So he walked toward the snake and the "free-range chicken" and deliberately whispered, "Our wife went to see Xuan Qing today."
Mo Xiao gave him an indifferent look, as if waiting for him to continue.
"Want to know what book our wife gave Xuan Qing the day she left the Dragon Clan?"
Mo Xiao frowned. "What?"
On the day of their homecoming visit, they had run into that third young master at the village entrance, and he had also mentioned the book.
Now, his curiosity was genuinely piqued.
Yue Ying’s lips curled into a smirk. "She gave Xuan Qing a book about..." After Yue Ying finished describing the book’s contents, a vein in Mo Xiao’s temple couldn’t help but throb.
A brief flash of surprise also crossed Fei Yan’s face, but it was gone in an instant, and he returned to normal. Then, he couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle.
’That really is in line with our wife’s style.’
After dinner, Long Yan took the two Little Dragons back to the Clan Leader’s place.
Su Mo yawned as she went upstairs and saw that Ye Yuan had already drawn her a bath.
He said with a slight blush, "Wife, I’ll take care of you tonight."
Su Mo looked at the pink tips of his ears and smiled, nodding.
’He’s so innocent. I just love seeing him blush~ If only the other three were as well-behaved as Ye Yuan, how wonderful that would be~’
Hearing her inner thoughts, Ye Yuan’s cheeks couldn’t help but turn an even deeper shade of red.
"You can go out first. I’ll call you when I’m done bathing."
Ye Yuan, blushing, turned and left, thoughtfully closing the door behind him.
Su Mo didn’t rush to bathe. Instead, she first checked the analysis results in the System Space.
Just as she suspected, the soporific was an improved version of her own formula. The poison was, too.
There were a few ingredients that couldn’t be analyzed.
It seemed it was undoubtedly Jin Tong.
’That damn Jin Tong! This is a blatant challenge to me, using my soporifics and poisons to wreak havoc in North Wing! He’s just so arrogant...’
’Strange, he wasn’t a character in the original book at all. Could he be... a Soul Reborn?’
’Can’t he just focus on his career with the female lead? What’s the deal with him targeting a cannon fodder character like me!’
Su Mo wanted to ask Little Nine to produce some Detoxification Pills.
But that little scammer Little Nine actually said, "Host, I can’t do it. Without a 100% component analysis, I can’t develop the Detoxification Pills~"
Su Mo frowned. "I spent all this time upgrading, and it was all for nothing? You’re scamming me, aren’t you?!"
Little Nine sounded aggrieved. "While we were upgrading, others were upgrading too~ The enemy’s ability to learn is actually a bit terrifying... Host, you need to strengthen yourself as soon as possible~"
Su Mo was speechless. "Isn’t this the fault of you people at the System Administration Bureau for creating such a powerful opponent for me? I think you guys really want me dead!"
"Of course not~ Host, you’re Little Nine’s absolute treasure~" Little Nine said excitedly. "I even helped you apply for a permanent partner slot from the Bureau!"
"Huh? What the hell is that?" Su Mo scowled. "Are you insane?! I swear, you think I’m not dying fast enough!!! Why don’t you open your eyes and look at the pack of wolf-like, tiger-like husbands I have at home?"
"I’m already having a hard enough time handling them, and you want me to find another one? Besides, if I really wanted to find someone, I could do it anytime. Why would I need you to get me some partner slot?"
Little Nine explained eagerly, "It’s different, Host! You can have countless husbands, but a Beastman registered on the system’s partner list can help you upgrade the space and the laboratory!"
Su Mo frowned. "So according to you, a normal Beastman can’t be registered in the System Space?"
"That’s right~ But Host, you have such good taste, Little Nine believes in you~"
"Get lost! If you pull another stunt like this, believe it or not, I’ll have those guys tear you limb from limb!"
Little Nine stammered, trembling, "Please don’t, Host~ Um, I just helped you get a shortcut, you... you don’t have to use it~ It won’t affect anything~"
「Downstairs.」
Fei Yan, Mo Xiao, and Yue Ying exchanged a look.
What partner slot?!
What kind of trouble was that Little Nine instigating their wife to get into now?!
Yue Ying fanned himself irritably. "That damned thing better hope I don’t get my hands on it! Or I’ll obliterate it without a trace!!!"
...
Su Mo couldn’t be bothered to waste her breath on Little Nine. He was never up to any good.
She shouldn’t have had such high expectations for him.
Her gaze suddenly swept over the things on her desk. She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she felt like the position of the items was slightly different from when she left.
When Su Mo opened the drawer and took out the bag of pills to check, a few were indeed missing.
’Looks like someone really was in my room?!’
’When did they get in? How did they get in?!’
Downstairs, Mo Xiao and the others couldn’t help but frown.
Ever since the incident with the Clan Leader and his wife, they had set up defenses around the house.
They never expected the intruder to be able to slip in, silent and unseen, past such tight security. It was truly a bit chilling.
At this moment, Su Mo had already taken off her clothes and was lying in the tub, soaking.
’That bastard Jin Tong must be in the village. What a pervert, provoking me again and again without showing himself. He must be very confident in his hiding spot, huh?’
’Just wait until I find him. I’ll settle this score properly then!’
...
「North Wing Back Mountain.」
A man in black stood with his hands clasped behind his back. A biting, murderous aura swirled around him, and his every move exuded a suffocating pressure.
The person beside him, however, seemed oblivious, chattering on noisily.
"My lord, you must hurry. The City Lord doesn’t have the patience to wait for you forever! She wants to see Su Mo’s head within three days! Otherwise..."
Suddenly, the man in black teleported in front of him and seized him by the throat.
With a SNAP, he broke the man’s neck and then threw the body heavily to the side.
Killing a person was as simple as crushing an ant to him; his expression didn’t change from beginning to end.
The other person opposite him was instantly terrified, scared half to death.
"You! You..."
He stammered for a long time, unable to form a complete sentence.
The man in black’s icy gaze swept over the corpse on the ground as he gave a cold warning, "Go back and tell Jiang Wu that I do things my own way. I don’t need her telling me what to do. From now on, anyone who dares to run their mouth again will end up just like him."
With that, his figure flickered and vanished like a phantom before the man’s horrified eyes.
