Chapter 14: You Unseemly System
Su Mo used the system‑gifted body wash again tonight, along with the special‑effect rose essential oil.
She felt her skin visibly became smoother, finer, and whiter, though her appearance changed little.
After all, the toxin inside her hasn't been cleared, so there won't be many changes.
But this face still looks a bit more comfortable than before.
Su Mo put on her clothes and stepped out; just as she was about to pour bath water, Yue Ying came over with a smiling face.
"Wife Master, let me help you."
"Then thank you." Su Mo was too lazy to be polite with him, grabbed her dirty clothes and headed toward her room.
After only a few steps, she ran into Mo Xiao; both instinctively halted, and their gazes unexpectedly collided.
Smelling the faint fragrance on her, Mo Xiao's face flushed uncomfortably as he lowered his head.
The pleasant scent made his heart tremble uncontrollably.
Su Mo glanced at him, thinking unhappily.
【What are you doing, seeing me feels like seeing Wen Shen. You don't want to see me, why are you lingering here?!】
"I..." Mo Xiao tried to explain.
But the words stuck at his lips, and he didn't know how to start.
After all, Su Mo didn't know that he could actually hear what she was thinking.
Su Mo looked at his indecisive demeanor and deliberately said, "You mean that once your injury is mostly healed you'll go back, right? I get it! Regarding what happened before, I was indeed at fault, so it's normal you have a psychological shadow. Hey~ after all, I'm sometimes a bit abnormal~ I understand if you want to call off the marriage!"
【You're too shy to speak up, so I'll take the initiative to speak for you, okay? Please, you Stinky Snake, break off the marriage quickly! Though I harmed him once, I saved him now, so it should be even!】
Mo Xiao's hand hanging at his side tightened slightly, "You've been busy all day, get some rest early."
After speaking, he lowered his head and quickly walked past Su Mo.
Su Mo stared at his back, eyes widened in speechlessness.
【The steps have been laid at his feet, and he still doesn't step down?! Pretending not to understand—what does that even mean? Holding a grudge like that, insisting on watching me die before his eyes to be satisfied?!】
Mo Xiao's posture paused; when he turned to look, Su Mo had already started walking away.
She entered the house, glanced at Long Yan, and the wound was actually not serious anymore.
For a higher‑rank male Beastman like Long Yan, the wound heals quickly; the reason he remains unconscious is still due to the toxin inside him.
Tonight she decided to take Long Yan's blood to the Laboratory for research.
Su Mo left Long Yan's room, returned to her own room, and then placed Long Yan's blood into the Laboratory.
She also planted the remaining few mandrake seedlings into the Spirit Spring Space, and harvested most of the mushrooms and wild vegetables she had sowed two days ago, leaving a small portion to continue cultivating.
After finishing these tasks, she lay on the bed and summoned Xiao Jiu.
"Host, I'm here."
"So bored, can you get me a phone?"
Xiao Jiu: "... Sorry, Host, Xiao Jiu is powerless."
"Tch~ besides digging me a hole, what else can you do!"
"It's unfair, Host, Xiao Jiu's sincere heart is evident to the heavens... wuwu~"
The system actually started crying, and even performed in front of this drama queen?!
Su Mo barked, "Stop talking!"
Xiao Jiu choked and stopped, sobbing.
"Anyway, give me some entertainment, I spend every night just sleeping, how boring! If I keep sleeping like this I'll turn into a pig!"
Xiao Jiu thought for a moment, "There's a saying I'm not sure whether to say..."
"Say it!"
"The three Beast Husbands outside probably wouldn't mind engaging in some entertainment with you now~ why don't you make an effort?"
Su Mo was momentarily taken aback, "For example?"
Xiao Jiu: "Entertainment options in the Beast World are indeed scarce; females and Beast Husbands' favorite nighttime pastime is... sauce‑drying! Their sauce‑drying skill is excellent, so then you would..."
"Shut up, you shut up for me! You indecent system!"
Xiao Jiu: "... Xiao Jiu is actually the most proper, and because I'm so proper, the previous eight hosts died because of me."
"..."
Su Mo reasonably suspected that he was dispatched by enemy intelligence, a system specifically designed to dig her into death... otherwise there's no way to explain why he's always so insane!
"Fine, let's discuss how to earn points. Besides earning Affection Level points, what else can I do now?"
"Make use of the Laboratory; it's not only for medical research, but also for studying clothing, food, housing, and transportation products~ however it's still in a slow upgrade phase, and the items it produces can be sold to other parallel worlds. That also yields points~"
"Right! So what can I sell now? Wild vegetables? Mushrooms? Mandrake juice?"
"All of those are fine; the final points earned will automatically convert according to the difficulty of production. The Laboratory will also upgrade gradually; once it reaches a certain level, we can trade directly with parallel worlds, bypassing the System Mall."
"Great! I'll sell a batch of wild vegetables right now!"
Su Mo kept a small portion of the harvested items to eat tomorrow, and sent the rest to the Laboratory. She also had the forest produce from today, the remaining two bottles of broken mandrake powder and liquid.
Then she opened the panel and clicked 'Sell'.
In less than five minutes, the sale was marked successful.
A total of 110 points were exchanged.
Among them, the two bottles of mandrake powder and liquid sold for 60 points.
Because points rose too quickly, the System Mall awarded an extra 10 points.
Thus Su Mo now has less than 100 points left, enough to fully repay the system's debt.
That's a good thing for her!
Su Mo browsed the System Mall and couldn't help exclaiming in amazed admiration.
You guys have made this stuff weirdly abundant!
That's only natural! After all, our System Administration Bureau has also been developing for many years, doing our best to make every customer feel right at home!
Tsk, you get all worked up after just a couple of compliments~
Su Mo looked at the snail rice noodles, sour and spicy noodles, and spicy strips in the System Mall, and with difficulty swallowed her saliva; she really wanted to eat this.
Once the points are cleared, I'll buy a pack right away to try it!
Wait a moment!
Su Mo pointed at the pink lace lingerie, sheer black silk, little whip, and strange rabbit doll on the panel……
She asked, embarrassed and speechless: "You guys actually still sell this stuff? Is this System Mall of yours even legit?!"
Xiao Jiu gave a light cough: "That's to enrich the night life of females like you~ If you can't use it all yourself, you can also sell it, and many people will like it~ In the Beast World, successfully promoting a product like this will double the corresponding item points growth~"
Here we suggest you personally try it out; promoting it will then be even easier~ Believe me, you'll soon fall in love with such a wonderful night life~
Su Mo was speechless……
What the hell is the thing bound to her? Can we even have a normal conversation anymore?!
