Chapter 141: From Head to Toe, This Mouth Is the Hardest

~7 min read 1,289 words

Jin Tong's heavy gaze fell on Su Mo's face, thinking she truly was a bit reckless about life!

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

Lin Shan shouted angrily, "How dare you!"

A feeble female who can't even lift a chicken, yet she dares such arrogance? He thinks she's truly fed up with life! She has no idea how much she weighs.

Lin Shan stepped forward, intending to punish the person before him on Jin Tong's behalf.

Su Mo calmly said, "Sir, you still need to keep the dogs around you in check; if you hurt me, your antidote will be in vain and you'll probably die even faster!"

"You!"

Lin Shan's outstretched hand froze in midair, ultimately unwilling to lower it.

At present, the Sir's antidote is urgent!

Once the Sir's poison is cleared, killing her won't be too late!

After leaving Su Mo's room, Jin Tong said in a flat tone, "Leave that leopard alone for a moment."

"Gate Master!" Lin Shan looked at him with disbelief.

Could it be that the Sir really is being threatened by that woman?

Jin Tong's heavy gaze passed over, and Lin Shan immediately nodded, "Understood."

A hint of deep meaning flickered in Jin Tong's eyes; of course he wouldn't be threatened by Su Mo.

But for now, he has other plans.

Lin Shan frowned, "In my view, we should restrict Su Mo's movements. Last time we never knew how she communicated with outsiders; this woman must be kept in check."

Jin Tong snorted, "This time none of her messages can be sent out."

Su Mo, after breakfast, boldly went out for a stroll.

Using the excuse of preparing medicine for Jin Tong, she walked around the herb garden, picking some rare herbs.

Xiao Jiu popped up, "This place is truly huge; every spot is heavily guarded, it's hard for outside things to get in, and we can't send anything out either, no wonder…"

Su Mo frowned, "He really is a crafty rabbit with three burrows, but this must be his lair."

Xiao Jiu sighed, "It's a pity the messages can't get out; otherwise now would be a good time to ambush Jin Tong."

"If Jin Tong can give me time to antidote him, he must have made thorough preparations."

Su Mo frowned, "Jiang Wu is certainly nearby; he's trying to use Jiang Wu to restrain Mo Xiao and the others."

She had just finished telling Xiao Jiu this when she heard footsteps outside.

"Lord Jiang Wu is in the study, bring a cup of tea!"

Xiao Jiu excitedly said, "Host, you truly predict everything; the heroine indeed!"

Su Mo couldn't help but frown, "I haven't seen the original novel's heroine; I'm quite curious what she looks like."

Thinking that, she got up, preparing to follow the person.

Before she could move a step, the person beside her blocked her path: "Miss Su, you'd better watch your legs and not go where you shouldn't. Lose your life, you'll regret it. Lord Jiang Wu is not as easy to talk to as we are. If she wants to take your life, you probably won't live to see tomorrow!"

Although the Gate Master said there's no need to worry about Su Mo's tricks, Lin Shan still felt they must be on guard.

Su Mo turned her head toward Lin Shan, raising an eyebrow deliberately, "So, in that case, you and your Sir are just puppets in someone else's hands?"

"What nonsense are you spouting! Since when did our Sir have to obey others, he…"

Seeing him about to speak but stop, Su Mo deliberately provoked, "Seems he's not an obedient dog; otherwise Jiang Wu wouldn't have poisoned him. You all really can't think straight, just marry off, and everything would be fine?"

"You're courting death!" Lin Shan, furious, said, "We would never marry that kind of woman!"

After speaking, he couldn't help but frown, seeming to regret having said so much.

Su Mo smiled faintly, "You and your Sir really share the same temperament; that mouth of yours is the hardest all over. From the poison on him you can see he's passive in this cooperation. Since his skill is inferior, it's better to be obedient."

Having said that, she got up and walked toward the room, paying no heed to Lin Shan's ashen complexion.

Anyway, she had already gotten the answer she wanted.

Back in the room, Su Mo frowned and asked Xiao Jiu, "Did you find the water source in this mountain area?"

Xiao Jiu shook his head, "Not at the place we just checked; I've observed carefully. However, the timing of the guard rotation is now clear."

Su Mo frowned, "In the afternoon we'll try another spot!"

She just doesn't believe she can't find an opportunity to strike.

Su Mo took out the harvested herbs to study, then added several ingredients to the previously researched Poison.

Dealing with someone like Jin Tong, the stronger the effect, the better.

Xiao Jiu, watching Su Mo's actions, couldn't help clicking his tongue, "Host, your move is really cruel~"

Su Mo sneered, "Someone like him, a dark crawling bug, if he doesn't die by my hand, he'll die by Jiang Wu's hand; rather than let him die by someone else's hand, I'd rather… let me try."

Xiao Jiu's eyes flashed with excitement, "When do we act?!"

"Isn't it that we haven't found an opportunity? To escape smoothly, we must not only deal with Jin Tong, but also eliminate those subordinates."

Su Mo sighed, "I'll think of another method after I wake up."

In the late afternoon, as the sun set, Su Mo successfully left.

Lin Shan didn't follow, giving her the best chance.

Su Mo, although she couldn't get close to the water, had already figured out the general direction.

For Su Mo, dealing with these young Beastmen guards is no difficulty; after all, her face is her greatest advantage now.

A small dose of hallucinogenic drug can make the opponent speak everything.

Every time she goes out or returns, Jin Tong arranges people to search her, fearing she hides something.

But how could he know that her drug doesn't need to be on her body.

When she returned to the house, Jin Tong's men had already delivered dinner.

Su Mo, composed, sat down to eat, while the Beastmen on guard outside were the same ones who had gone out with her at dusk.

It doesn't matter if they guard her strictly; then let their own people pass the message to him.

Outside the mountain.

Xuan Qing has already returned, and Xuan Wei and Xuan Shuang came along as well.

Back when we parted, I never expected to meet again so soon.

But now is not the time for catching up.

Xuan Shuang surveyed the surrounding terrain, frowned, and said: 'It's best to act quickly; being trapped here for long is disadvantageous to us. If we really can't, we'll force our way through.'

Fei Yan frowned and said: 'Let's wait until after tonight to talk; given the Wife Master's nature, she will surely find a way to get the message out.'

Yue Ying furrowed his brows and said: 'If we still haven't heard from the Wife Master by tomorrow night, then we'll launch a strong attack!'

Ye Yuan behind him frowned without speaking, obviously agreeing with this decision.

Not seeing the Wife Master for a day leaves them unable to rest easy.

Now Cang Lan is also trapped inside; the longer it drags on, the more unsafe it becomes.

Late at night, Su Mo quietly got up once before the shift change.

Xiao Jiu's voice excited: 'Host, are we going to act?'

Su Mo raised her eyebrows: 'Let's give it a try.'
