Chapter 137

Su Mo was kidnapped while she was sleeping.

Last night's torment had been so aggravating that when that person approached, she noticed nothing.

At this moment, her eyes were blindfolded, and her hands were also tied.

What's worse, they even stuffed her mouth.

【Bastard! Disturbing someone's peaceful sleep at such an inappropriate time—this is hardly something a human would do……】

I don't know how long passed before she was dazedly thrown heavily onto the ground.

An inexplicable pain made Su Mo frown; before she could fully wake, that person ruthlessly clamped her chin.

A gloomy voice sounded from above: 'At this point, you still have the mood to sleep? Should I say you're numb, or unafraid of death?!'

Su Mo frowned and looked at the person opposite, meeting a pair of eyes not entirely unfamiliar.

She endured the heart-piercing pain in her jaw and sneered: 'As expected, only you would pull such a shameless trick. Lord Jin Tong, are you really that bored? If you're bored, go keep Jiang Wu company—you…'

The hand gripping her chin tightened, causing Su Mo's brows to knit tightly in pain.

In the next instant, the hand moved to her neck; the long fingers suddenly closed, as if a little force could easily take her life.

The man's cold, harsh voice sounded: 'If you dare to displease me again, I'll kill you at any time!'

Su Mo glared at him, hoarsely coughing: 'You… loosen, loosen your grip!'

The man snorted coldly and flung her aside with a violent shove.

She slammed into the stone wall beside her, unprepared, and only after a while did she look at him again.

"You went to such trouble to capture me—could it be just to threaten me?"

Su Mo met his Cold Pool-like eyes and said coldly: 'What good is it for you to entangle a weak little woman like me? Where exactly have I offended Lord Jin Tong? Tell me, can't I change?'

Jin Tong's unfathomable gaze fell on her, and he sneered: 'Silver-tongued! Your cheek is truly extraordinary!'

Su Mo widened her eyes: 'Bullying a woman like me who has no strength—what kind of hero is that?'

"Untie me quickly! If you have something to say, let's sit down and talk slowly!"

The man's poison-tinged gaze swept over her face: 'You're weak and innocent? Then who poisoned me? Who is secretly manipulating the Tiger Clan and confronting me?!'

Su Mo's eyelashes fluttered as she looked innocent: 'Last time I was trying to detox you! Medicine is three-part poison, after all! As for the Tiger Clan affair, I don't know anything…'

"Listen to your sophistry!"

The man stood up, looked down at the person on the ground from above, and curled his lips into a cruel arc.

"Take her to the room, don't untie her! No one is allowed to speak to her, or I'll cut off their tongue!"

Soon a person came from the darkness, grabbed Su Mo and dragged her away…

Su Mo struggled, refusing to cooperate: 'Hey! If you're going to lock me up, at least untie me first! I'm telling you I'm hungry—I want to eat!'

"Starve!"

Su Mo was roughly thrown into an airtight room; along the way, no one spoke to her, they were silent like mute.

Obviously, after her previous escape attempt, Jin Tong's guard against her has increased.

The windows were sealed tight, so nothing outside could be seen.

Su Mo paced around the room, sat on the bed, and summoned Xiao Jiu.

"Where have you been all this time? I've become a prisoner!"

Xiao Jiu's intermittent voice came: 'Ah~ we just lost connection… Host, don't panic, you won't be in danger for now~'

"Why does the connection drop easily whenever we're near Jin Tong?"

Xiao Jiu frowned: 'I don't know~'

Su Mo sighed: 'Not poisoning him last time was a real pity. This time, no matter what, I must poison him!'

Xiao Jiu's eyes lit up: 'Wasn't the plan to let him try your new poison? Hurry up!'

"You think I don't want to? I don't even have hands right now!"

Su Mo lay on the bed, sighing: 'You say he should be accompanying Jiang Wu to conquer the world instead of wasting effort on a cannon fodder like me. And Jiang Wu too—she wants to unify the Beast World; shouldn't she first properly manage these Beast Husbands of hers?'

Xiao Jiu frowned: 'He seems to have no contract with Jiang Wu; he isn't her Beast Husband.'

"You haven't made a mistake, have you?!" Su Mo frowned: 'Clearly, they went together to attack the Tiger Clan last time.'

Xiao Jiu pondered: 'Maybe it's just a cooperative relationship.'

"That makes no sense—how could the female lead pass up such a powerful Beastman? That doesn't fit her style!" Su Mo lay on the bed, sighing: 'I need to get something to eat!'

The System Space does have food, but since she's being monitored by Jin Tong, it's still best not to act rashly.

She suddenly sat up, walked to the door, and kicked it hard while shouting: 'Out there, hurry and have your superiors get me some food! If I starve to death, all his painstakingly laid plans will be for nothing!'

Having said that, Su Mo kicked the door hard again!

Outside was dead silent, as if no one was there at all.

But through the crack in the door she could see a young Beastman guard standing outside.

Expressionless, he looked like a statue.

Su Mo returned to the bedside and sat down.

Xiao Jiu sighed: 'Host, this time it's going to be hard for us to escape smoothly…'

Su Mo nodded.

It's clear that the people Jin Tong arranged this time are hard to talk to, each like a big ice sculpture—probably no crack to exploit.

At this moment, in Jin Tong's study.

Jiang Wu sat in the main seat wearing red robes, holding a red pill in her hand, her voice slow: 'Since the person has already been captured, why not just kill them outright?!'

Despite having a face that could topple nations, her words are utterly vicious.

Jin Tong narrowed his eyes: 'I still have unsettled scores with her.'

Jiang Wu chuckled lightly: 'What scores? Isn't it just that I gave you some poison last time? Killing her outright would settle everything—why not let me have some fun with her, and I'll help you kill her!'

Jin Tong's deep-abyss-like eyes stared at the person before him: "The person I captured, I decide when she dies; as long as I don't want her dead, she cannot die!"

A flash of coldness passed through Jiang Wu's eyes; she leapt lightly from the stool and came before Jin Tong.

"In the last battle with the Tiger Clan, she caused me to lose millions of soldiers, and your most capable subordinate died at her hand—what are you hesitating about?!" She raised the Pill in her hand and threatened coldly: "Could it be that you no longer want this Pill?!"

Jin Tong coldly glanced at the thing in her hand: "The thing belongs to the City Lord; if willing to give, give; if not, then forget it."

A sudden chill flashed in Jiang Wu's eyes; she exerted slight pressure with her fingertips on the Pill—this Jin Tong has recently become increasingly oblivious to life and death.

She lightly curled her red lips, a cold smile curling at the corner of her mouth. Then she casually placed the red Pill on a corner of the desk.

In the flutter of her red robe, she had already left the study.

For now, she still cannot break completely with Jin Tong.

Jiang Wu left Jin Tong's room, and her cat Beast Husband came forward to meet her.

The person who arrived had a yin-like appearance, with a hint of alluring red at the corners of the eyes, bewitching like blood; as their gaze shifted, everything was perverse and sinister.

All that could be seen was him taking Jiang Wu's hand and gently caressing it.

In an extremely yin-like tone he asked: "Does Jin Tong not wish to give the person to the Wife Master? He wouldn't be thinking of using that woman to cure the poison on his body and completely free himself from your control, would he?"

Jiang Wu's cold, beautiful face flashed a cold smile as she said: "He's dreaming!"

Even if Su Mo is not dead now, she will surely die soon. A person who fundamentally does not belong in this world ought not to live!

As for Jin Tong, if he can be used by her, that would naturally be best; if not, she has plenty of ways to deal with him!

Jiang Wu frowned and asked: "Have those few come after us?"

The cat Beastman A Ci shook his head and said: "Not yet for the time being, but it should be soon. With them conducting such a meticulous search, Jin Tong won't be able to hide here for long."

A sinister smile curled at the corner of Jiang Wu's mouth: "Perfect, I can also reap the benefits of the fisherman's gain."

Since those few insist on following Su Mo to their deaths wholeheartedly, then let us fulfill their wish!
