Chapter 139: Who says being first isn't being first? You can also be first, eh!

Jin Tong came out of Su Mo's room, coldly asking: "Have you found the person?"

"For now, no. The opponent's combat strength is not weak, they're good at hiding, but this is our turf, so there's no big problem."

Lin Shan snorted coldly: "Since he walked into the net himself, all the better! If we can capture them all, we can naturally take full control of Su Mo!"

Jin Tong didn't speak, using those few to control Su Mo?

I'm afraid it might not work.

That woman Su Mo is full of tricks; how could she willingly submit to extortion?

He caught her twice; each time she seemed afraid on the surface, but she never begged for mercy willingly!

Such a stubborn person, would they be subjugated by others?

In this world where males outnumber females, how many females truly care about a male beast's life? If he dies, just replace him.

However, this time his trap was indeed aimed at Su Mo's few beast husbands.

Jin Tong naturally didn't believe Su Mo would sincerely research an antidote for him; the first step, then, was to cut off her wings!

Her several beast husbands all have strong combat strength; keeping them by her side is always a disaster for him!

Only by wiping them all out could she possibly willingly stay by his side to research an antidote for her.

All he wants now is to buy time; as long as he delays enough, he believes he'll eventually be able to research his own detox pill!

By then, just send Su Mo and her several fiancés to reunite!

At this moment, in Su Mo's room.

The System Laboratory already issued the test results, but it showed only half the formula was detected.

Su Mo frowned and asked Xiao Jiu: "System Administration Bureau, are you even useful? You only spit out a few results, most of which I already know. Does this even count as a Golden Finger? You're playing me?!"

Xiao Jiu stammered: "Host... the other side might have used many medicines not recorded in the System Laboratory, so they can't be detected~"

Su Mo was speechless: "No, you're a whole system, yet you haven't even recorded all these medicine names? You're kidding?!"

"Our data here are updated based on each host's encounters in different spacetimes; for those not yet encountered, naturally there's none... Once you research it, it'll naturally be recorded~"

"You System Administration Bureau are truly trash through and through!" Su Mo complained, then couldn't help frowning: "Jin Tong isn't easy to fool; if I don't give him an explanation, I might really not last a few days."

Xiao Jiu fell silent for a few seconds, then probed: "Why not first study the detox pills currently in the System Space to fool him for a few days, buying time until your beast husbands show up?"

"Logically, those few should have already arrived. I always feel Jin Tong has ill intentions this time; he hasn't blocked my pheromones along the way, clearly waiting for them to come find him."

Xiao Jiu: "Relax, those few joining forces should still be able to handle it~"

Su Mo furrowed her brows: "What if Jin Tong and Jiang Wu join forces?"

Xiao Jiu fell silent.

Su Mo frowned: "Jin Tong's pill wouldn't be made by Jiang Wu, would it? If she made it, that would really be troublesome."

Originally, one Jin Tong was enough to be a handful; adding Jiang Wu, attacking from front and back, this is not good for her!

In the original work, that female lead was very skilled at making poison—that's the Golden Finger the author gave her.

Later, she relied on those poisons to gather quite a few strong beast husbands.

The more Su Mo thought, the more likely it seemed: "She must want to use drugs to control Jin Tong for her own use! If I detox Jin Tong, wouldn't I become a thorn in the female lead's side?"

Xiao Jiu sighed: "Given the current situation, not helping him detox also makes you a thorn in the female lead's side; I think you'd better think of another way, make Jin Tong your blade, and perhaps the situation can still be turned around."

Su Mo: "... You really think highly of me, that poisonous snake Jin Tong could take my life at any moment! Moreover, he's a Reincarnated Person—do you think he'd willingly obey others? He likely wants to contend with the female lead for the world; as things stand, it seems she still has the upper hand."

But not necessarily! The System thinks you can give it a try~ Who says being first isn't being first? You can do it too!

Su Mo widened her eyes and screamed: "You're really crazy—did you use those two eyes as pickle jars? How much did you drink? Hurry out and get some fresh air to sober up!"

【What kind of joke is this, letting me go deliver heads? No way!】

"Rest assured, when that day comes, I'll definitely bring you along. Once we reach the Underworld, we'll still be a pair of lovebirds-turned-rivals!"

"Rest assured, when that day comes, I'll definitely bring you along. Once we reach the Underworld, we'll still be a pair of lovebirds-turned-rivals!"

【Don't even think about letting this young lady go to her death! Absolutely impossible!】

Xiao Jiu frowned: "Don't even think about it! I, the System, am an Immortal Body!"

Su Mo widened her eyes, excited: "Ah! I want to feed you the Heart-Uniting Pill! As long as you don't die, I surely won't die either, right? Eternal youth—what a good thing?!"

Xiao Jiu: "Calm down! I'm a system—I can't eat that stuff!!!"

Soon, Jin Tong's people sent Su Mo some herbs.

Su Mo took it and looked; outside, not the slightest bit of information had come through.

It seems Jin Tong really tightened his defenses this time; the same method won't work.

At night, Su Mo had the person at the door send two pills to Jin Tong.

The detox pill formulated in the System Laboratory can't neutralize his poison, but fooling him for a short time is no problem.

Of course, she also added something else inside.

Xiao Jiu frowned: "Host, you're way too bold—Jin Tong still hasn't settled the score with you from last time~"

Su Mo raised her brows: "Don't be afraid, it's colorless and odorless medicine powder; I added only a little, so it won't be noticed for now! By the time he finds out, we might have already left this place! Anyway, not adding means death; adding… maybe we'll die a bit slower."

"Uh, that twisted logic actually makes some sense," Xiao Jiu exclaimed excitedly: "Why not add more and just kill him outright?"

"Are you stupid? If I increase the dose, he'll definitely notice right away and won't take my medicine! Nowadays the outside is heavily guarded; even if he dies, I, with zero combat strength, couldn't hope to walk out alive. So naturally it's better to use small amounts repeatedly, waiting for the right moment to make our move."

Xiao Jiu nodded in approval: "It's still got to be you!"

The herbs Jin Tong's people sent were planted by Su Mo in the Spirit Spring Space.

Then he selected some to send into the System Laboratory to see if they'd react with the pill Jin Tong had sent.

That night, Su Mo didn't sleep very soundly.

She faintly heard a rustling sound coming from outside.

Her eyelid twitched uncontrollably; instantly all sleepiness vanished, and she got up to glance toward the window.
