Oops! My Beast Mates Can Hear My Inner Voice

Jin Tong’s dark gaze landed on Su Mo’s face. ’She really has a death wish!’

Even Jiang Wu wouldn’t dare threaten him like this.

Lin Shan roared, "Insolent!"

’A weak female with no strength to speak of dares to be so arrogant? She must be tired of living! She has no idea what she’s up against.’

Lin Shan took a step forward, wanting to teach the woman before him a lesson on Jin Tong’s behalf.

Su Mo spoke unhurriedly, "You’d better keep your dog on a leash. If I get hurt, all hope of curing your poison will be lost, and I’m afraid you’ll die even faster!"

"You!"

Lin Shan’s outstretched hand froze in mid-air. In the end, he could only lower it reluctantly.

’Right now, curing the Sect Leader’s poison is what’s most important!’

’Once the Sect Leader is cured, it won’t be too late to kill her!’

After leaving Su Mo’s room, Jin Tong said in a flat tone, "Leave that leopard barely breathing."

"Sect Leader!" Lin Shan stared at him in disbelief.

’Is the Sect Leader really going to let that woman threaten him?’

Jin Tong shot him a heavy glare, and Lin Shan immediately nodded. "Understood."

A meaningful glint flashed in Jin Tong’s eyes. Of course he wouldn’t allow himself to be threatened by Su Mo.

’It was just that now, he had other plans.’

Lin Shan frowned. "If you ask me, we should restrict Su Mo’s movements. We still don’t know how she managed to get a message to the people outside last time. We have to be on guard against this woman."

Jin Tong scoffed. "This time, it will be impossible for her to send any messages out."

After breakfast, Su Mo strolled out brazenly, as if she owned the place.

Under the pretext of preparing medicine for Jin Tong, she took a walk around the herb garden and helped herself to a few uncommon herbs along the way.

Little Nine’s voice piped up, "This place of his is huge, and every inch is heavily guarded. It’s hard for anything to get in from the outside, and we can forget about sending anything out. No wonder he’s not afraid to let you walk around."

Su Mo frowned. "He’s a crafty one, with more than one bolt-hole. But this must be his main lair."

Little Nine sighed. "It’s a shame we can’t get a message out. Otherwise, this would be the perfect time to launch a sneak attack on Jin Tong."

"If Jin Tong is having me cure his poison now, he must have made ample preparations."

Su Mo frowned. "Jiang Wu must be nearby. He plans to use her to keep Mo Xiao and the others busy."

She had just finished discussing this with Little Nine when she heard footsteps outside.

"Lady Jiang Wu is in the study! Serve a cup of tea!"

Little Nine exclaimed excitedly, "Host, your predictions are spot on! The female lead really is here!"

Su Mo couldn’t help but frown. "I’ve never met the original novel’s female lead. I’m actually a little curious what she looks like."

With that thought, she rose, preparing to follow the person.

Before she could take a step, Lin Shan blocked her path. "Miss Su, you had best watch your step and not go where you don’t belong. If you lose your life over it, you’ll have no one to blame but yourself. Lady Jiang Wu isn’t as easygoing as our Sect Leader. If she decides she wants you dead, I doubt you’ll live to see tomorrow!"

’Even though the Sect Leader said not to worry about Su Mo’s tricks, Lin Shan felt he had to remain vigilant.’

Su Mo tilted her head to look at Lin Shan, deliberately raising an eyebrow. "So, you’re saying your Sect Leader is just a puppet on someone else’s strings?"

"What nonsense are you spouting! Since when does our Sect Leader take orders from anyone? He..."

Seeing him trail off, Su Mo provoked him again. "So he’s not an obedient dog, then. Otherwise, Jiang Wu wouldn’t have poisoned him. Your Sect Leader really can’t see the big picture. If he just went and married her, wouldn’t all his problems be solved?"

"You’re courting death!" Lin Shan said, flustered and enraged. "Our Sect Leader would never marry a woman like that!"

After speaking, he couldn’t help but frown, seemingly annoyed at having said too much.

Su Mo gave a faint smile. "You and your Sect Leader really are two of a kind—all talk. You can tell from the poison in his system that he’s the one in the passive position in this ’cooperation.’ Since he’s outmatched, it would be better for him to be a little more obedient."

With that, she got up and walked back to her room, completely ignoring Lin Shan’s livid face.

’In any case, she had gotten the answer she wanted.’

Back in her room, Su Mo frowned and asked Little Nine, "Have you found the main body of water in this mountain?"

"Not where we were just now," Little Nine replied. "I observed it carefully. But I have figured out the guard rotation schedule."

Su Mo frowned. "We’ll check a different area this afternoon!"

’She refused to believe she couldn’t find an opportunity to make her move.’

Su Mo took out the herbs she had picked to study them, then added a few new ingredients to the poison she was developing.

’When dealing with someone like Jin Tong, the more potent the poison, the better.’

Watching Su Mo’s actions, Little Nine couldn’t help but click its tongue in awe. "Host, you’re pretty ruthless, you know~"

Su Mo sneered. "A disgusting bug like him who crawls in the shadows is destined to die by either my hand or Jiang Wu’s. And rather than let him die by someone else’s... I might as well give it a try."

Little Nine was practically buzzing with excitement. "When do we make our move?!"

"I haven’t found an opportunity yet. To escape successfully, we not only have to deal with Jin Tong, but also all of his subordinates."

Su Mo sighed. "I’ll think of another way after I get some sleep."

As the sun began to set that afternoon, Su Mo left her room without any trouble.

Lin Shan wasn’t following her, which gave her the perfect opportunity.

Although Su Mo wasn’t able to get close to the body of water, she had figured out its general direction.

For Su Mo, dealing with these young Beastman guards wasn’t difficult. After all, her face was currently her greatest asset.

A small dose of a hallucinogen was all it took to make them spill everything they knew.

Every time she left or returned to her room, Jin Tong had someone search her, afraid she was hiding something on her person.

’But how could he know that she didn’t need to carry her drugs on her at all?’

When she returned to her room, Jin Tong’s men had already brought her dinner.

Su Mo sat down with a composed expression and began to eat. The guard on duty outside her door was the same Beastman she had encountered that evening.

’It didn’t matter that they were guarding her so closely. She would just have one of their own men deliver her message for her.’

「Outside the mountain.」

Xuan Qing had returned, and with him were Xuan Wei and Xuan Shuang.

When they had last parted ways, they hadn’t expected to meet again so soon.

But now was not the time for pleasantries.

Xuan Shuang surveyed the surrounding terrain and frowned. "We should move as soon as possible. Being stuck here for too long is to our disadvantage. If all else fails, we’ll just have to force our way in."

Fei Yan frowned. "Let’s wait until after tonight. Knowing our wife’s personality, she’ll definitely find a way to get a message to us."

Yue Ying’s brows tightened. "If there’s still no word from our wife by tomorrow evening, we storm the mountain!"

Behind them, Ye Yuan said nothing, his frown indicating his approval of the decision.

They couldn’t be at ease for a single day that they couldn’t see their wife.

With Cang Lan also trapped inside, the longer they waited, the more dangerous it would become.

「Late that night」

Su Mo quietly got up just before the changing of the guard.

Little Nine’s voice was filled with excitement. "Host, is it time to make our move?"

Su Mo raised an eyebrow. "Let’s give it a try first."
