Oops! My Beast Mates Can Hear My Inner Voice

When Lin Shan knocked and entered the study, he saw Jin Tong holding two pills.

"Sect Leader!"

He was instantly tense. "Are you sure you’re still going to take this medicine? I doubt Jiang Wu is that kind."

Jin Tong, of course, knew that.

He had learned just how vicious that woman’s heart was in his past life.

This was both an antidote and a poison.

Jin Tong’s eyes darkened. He took one of the pills and walked out.

Lin Shan froze for a moment before starting to follow.

Jin Tong stood before the door to the room where Su Mo was being held and ordered the two guards, "Open the door!"

The moment he stepped inside, he saw Su Mo lying on her side on the bed, apparently asleep.

"Heh."

He snorted coldly and said to Lin Shan, "Drag her up for me!"

Lin Shan took a step forward and unceremoniously hauled the person on the bed to her feet.

Su Mo was still groggy from sleep and couldn’t help but yawn.

When she opened her eyes, she saw an annoying face standing before her.

"What is it now? It’s bad enough you won’t feed me, but now you won’t even let me sleep?!"

With a glance, Jin Tong signaled for Lin Shan to untie her.

Jin Tong held out the pill in his hand and said to her, "Analyze its components. If you cooperate, I’ll let you keep your miserable life for now!"

Su Mo squinted at it, her brow furrowed. "That’s it?"

"You’re practically begging to die!" Lin Shan stepped forward, wanting to grab Su Mo by the neck and teach her a lesson.

But his outstretched hand froze and drew back stiffly after meeting Jin Tong’s warning gaze.

Lin Shan gritted his teeth resentfully. "The Sect Leader is showing you respect. Don’t be ungrateful!"

Su Mo snorted, looking completely unfazed. "Are you kidding me? I’m already a prisoner. So what if I’m ungrateful?"

’A medicine whose components not even Jin Tong can identify can’t be anything simple.’

’So, this is why he isn’t in a hurry to kill me?’

’In that case, I have even less to fear!’

Little Nine chimed in with a DING. "Host, since he needs something from you, this just got a lot easier!"

Su Mo raised an eyebrow. ’Time to negotiate.’

Jin Tong’s eyes, glinting with a cold light, fell on her face. "Don’t make me do this the hard way."

Su Mo stood up. "I’m hungry. I want to eat! And I want meat! I need a full stomach to have the energy to work."

Lin Shan couldn’t take it anymore. "You are unbelievable!"

Jin Tong raised a hand, signaling for the people outside to prepare the food.

Then he tossed the pill in his hand over to her. "Before nightfall, I want to see what I want to see. Otherwise, you’d better watch your head!"

The door was locked again.

Su Mo picked up the pill and sniffed it. The next second, she couldn’t help but frown.

Little Nine: "Host, what’s wrong?"

Su Mo raised an eyebrow. "This is a potent medicine. It seems Jin Tong has suffered serious injuries and been deeply poisoned in the past?"

Little Nine frowned. "He doesn’t look like it."

"That’s because this medicine can suppress the poison in his body."

"If this medicine can control it, why is he having you look at it, Host?"

"It’s addictive. Long-term use will make a person lose their sanity."

"Wow! Such a powerful medicine. Shouldn’t you give him more of it, then? It’s not like he’s a good person anyway!"

Su Mo raised an eyebrow. "If he loses his sanity, he’ll just become an executioner in someone else’s hands. He’s such an ambitious man, how could he be willing to become something like that?"

With that, she broke the pill in half and sent one half to her lab.

’I really need to study this medicine’s effects. Once I understand it, I should be able to figure out Jin Tong’s weakness.’

After a while, Little Nine seemed to remember something. "Host, you received a Tie Pattern last night, so the System Mall has sent you a new reward~"

"Oh?"

Su Mo opened her virtual panel to check.

’Unity Pills?’

Su Mo frowned. "What are these?"

Little Nine explained, "Live together, die together. Once activated, if you live, he lives; if you die, he dies too."

Su Mo nodded in understanding. ’It’s best not to use something so vicious carelessly.’

Before long, the people outside brought Su Mo her meal.

「Meanwhile, outside the caves.」

Yue Ying and the others had successfully found the location by following the marks Cang Lan left behind.

But they couldn’t find Cang Lan.

Ye Yuan was about to follow Su Mo’s scent in the air when Mo Xiao stopped him.

"Don’t be reckless."

Ye Yuan frowned. "But my wife is in there!"

Fei Yan’s brow knitted. "The last time Jin Tong kidnapped our wife, he blocked her pheromones the entire way. This time, for him to deliberately overlook something so important means he’s trying to lure us here. I fear he’s up to no good."

Xuan Qing, who was not far off, returned from scouting the area and explained, "They’ve laid a trap. The air ahead is filled with Miss Su’s scent, making it impossible to pinpoint the source. If we act rashly, I’m afraid we’ll fall into their trap. We shouldn’t split up for now."

Mo Xiao looked at him and nodded slightly.

Fei Yan frowned. "Let’s use this time to set up our defenses."

Meanwhile, Cang Lan was leaping nimbly from one mountain peak to another. The air here was saturated with Su Mo’s pheromones, yet he couldn’t find her.

He was growing anxious.

The red Tie Pattern from their bonding last night glowed brightly on his shoulder.

’I made my wife too tired last night. If I hadn’t been so clingy, maybe she wouldn’t have been... this morning.’

’I failed to protect her.’

’It’s all my fault!’

’That’s why I have to find her!’

The mountain peak where Jin Tong was hiding was quite large; even for someone like Cang Lan, finding her wouldn’t be easy.

But even if it was a dragon’s lake or a tiger’s den, he had to try!

As dusk approached, Cang Lan found a spot and leaped down.

At that moment, Jin Tong was in his room, listening to Su Mo explain the pill’s components.

’This woman is so cunning. She’s been chattering on with a mountain of nonsense, deliberately avoiding the main point!’

Jin Tong’s patience wore thin. He stepped forward, seized her by the throat, and said viciously, "I think you want to die!"

Su Mo was pinned against the wall behind her, her expression pained. "I... I wasn’t finished talking. What’s the rush, sir?"

Jin Tong’s eyes darkened. He threw her to the floor and waited for her to continue.

Su Mo winced in pain and frowned. "This medicine shouldn’t be taken long-term. If you keep taking it, you’ll lose your sanity. While it can greatly increase your power in the short term, the poison will backlash the moment you stop!"

"The formula is extremely complex. Even I can’t figure out the exact recipe right away."

The moment she finished speaking, the man beside her drew his longsword with a SHING, the cold blade pressing against her neck!

"If that’s the case, what use do I have for you?!"

Su Mo’s brow twitched. "Give me time, I can try to research it!"

The sharp blade pressed closer. "How can you prove your sincerity?!"

The hand Su Mo had hidden in her sleeve tightened into a fist. "I’m right here. My life or death depends on your whim. Either kill me now, or keep taking the medicine until you lose all your sanity! When that happens, we’ll meet again in hell all the same!"

Su Mo narrowed her eyes. "Whether I’m sincere or not doesn’t matter. All you need to know, sir, is that my will to live is just as strong as yours!"

’She wasn’t entirely confident negotiating with someone like Jin Tong. He was cold-blooded and ruthless enough to kill her in a fit of rage.’

’But the chips were already on the table. How could she not take the gamble?!’

Jin Tong’s heavy gaze fell on her face. Before he could speak, someone burst in from outside.

The person leaned in and whispered a few words in his ear.

Jin Tong snorted coldly. He cast a meaningful glance at Su Mo, then turned and walked out.
