Chapter 58: Time to Set Up a Family
In the room.
Su Mo sent Lan Ling's blood into the System Laboratory.
In an instant, a flurry of numbers appeared on the aerial panel.
She compared Lan Ling's report with Fei Yan's.
Some of the toxins in Lan Ling's body are the same as those in Fei Yan's, while the rest are different.
The final three poisons could not be parsed even by the System Laboratory.
Su Mo frowned and called out to Xiao Jiu: "Is the System Administration Bureau even capable or not?"
"Um… the Laboratory isn't top‑tier yet~ limited functions are normal~ but Xiao Jiu can provide you with some data, and you can look for other solutions, okay~"
After Xiao Jiu finished speaking, several books fell in front of Su Mo.
Dong dong dong~
Su Mo looked at the top two books, suddenly widened her eyes and exclaimed in surprise: "The System Administration Bureau actually has this kind of good stuff?!"
Xiao Jiu, puzzled, said: "Hm?"
When he saw the books Su Mo was holding, he immediately stammered: "Ah!!! That… was sent by mistake~ Could the host return them to the System Space for me~"
Su Mo, holding the two little posts in her hand, squinted happily and said: "What's given to me is obviously mine~"
Dog System, having such good stuff and not bringing it out earlier, caused her to spend so many nights bored like this.
"Ah, no can do, host, those are my two favorite little broken posts~ Let me find you two other books, okay~"
Su Mo raised an eyebrow: "Alright, bring them out and I'll take a look."
Dong dong~
The system dropped two more books, and Su Mo's eyes lit up as she stared at the covers, almost letting out a groundhog scream!
"I never expected, Xiao Jiu, that you'd have this kind of good stuff! Your system really is extremely improper~"
Xiao Jiu cleared his throat awkwardly: "The system also needs some entertainment items~ It's because you kept talking about little posts, and I was curious, so I fetched a few."
"Alright, alright! This host needs a knowledge‑thirsty system child like you to assist! Everything's great, I'll take them!"
Xiao Jiu: "Why are you being evasive~"
"I'll return them after I'm done, don't worry."
Su Mo flipped through the materials Xiao Jiu provided on the table, sighing: "As a considerate system, shouldn't you highlight the key points? With so many pages, where am I supposed to start???"
"Hmph~ Take your time, anyway they won't die any time soon~"
Xiao Jiu's tone was a bit angry because of what just happened.
Su Mo raised an eyebrow coquettishly: "Alright, Xiao Jiu, good little Jiu, just do me a favor~"
Xiao Jiu replied haughtily: "Cut the saccharine talk, this system doesn't buy your tricks! Give me something practical!"
Su Mo: "……"
Isn't that her line?
The broken system is so petty, isn't it just greedy for her two books?
Su Mo raised an eyebrow: "Then I'll return one little broken post to you first; after I finish reading, we can swap again."
"Deal!"
Xiao Jiu happily took the little broken post, then said seriously: "Read it first; if you have questions, come ask me."
Su Mo frowned: "Being evasive? Didn't we agree you'd point out the key points for me?"
Xiao Jiu: "The books I selected for you are all excellent. Study them well; they'll greatly help improve your strength. Cutting corners won't work~"
"But my strength isn't decided by you, is it?"
"Not entirely. I exist to make you stronger, but your strength can't rely wholly on the system. Otherwise, situations like last night will recur, maybe even more dangerous."
Su Mo understood his meaning: forging iron still requires one's own strength.
"Thank you~"
Xiao Jiu said happily: "It's best that the host understands my good intentions; Xiao Jiu hopes to walk together with you for a long, long time~"
"The poison on Lan Ling, after taking the system's Detox Pill, won't spread. From now on, the host just needs to slowly work out a detox plan."
"As for the poison on Fei Yan, the host may need to devote more mental effort."
Su Mo nodded: "I know."
Fei Yan's poison is slightly more complex than Lan Ling's, and last night she fed Fei Yan her own blood; now, besides the poison from Hei Yi Ren, he also carries the same poison as hers.
However, because the dosage is small, nothing serious will happen for now.
Su Mo, based on the Laboratory's analysis, wrote two prescriptions.
When she went out with the two prescriptions, Lan Ling had already regained consciousness, though he still looked a bit weak.
He looked at Su Mo politely and said, "Miss Su."
Su Mo gave a slight nod, handing the prescription in her hand to the Dragon Clan Shaman Doctor.
"Prepare the medicine for him according to this prescription; come back tomorrow afternoon to adjust the formula."
The Dragon Clan Shaman Doctor took it, glanced at it, and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Alright."
Then he looked at the other prescription in Su Mo's hand and asked, "May I help mix that one as well?"
Su Mo shook her head: "No need; this prescription's ingredients are a bit complex. If needed, I'll have someone contact the Shaman Doctor. Please prepare Lan Ling's medicine first."
The senior Shaman Doctor nodded, "I'll arrange that right away."
Having said that, he took the items and left.
Standing nearby, Lan Ling looked at Su Mo and said, "Thank you, Miss Su."
Su Mo slightly twisted her brow and said, "Commander, no need to be polite; perhaps you should thank the Military Advisor and the Minor General properly."
Lan Ling frowned, looked toward the two, then clasped his fists sincerely and said, "Lan Ling thanks the Minor General and the Military Advisor."
Military Advisor, his expression complex, glanced at him and said, "You go with the Shaman Doctor first."
Lan Ling turned and went after the Shaman Doctor.
Military Advisor watched his back and let out a somewhat melancholy sigh.
Lan Ling, that child, is just like Long Yan; both were raised under his watch. Seeing a child he cultivated himself make such a mistake, his heart naturally aches.
Now Lan Ling's position as commander has been removed, and the Military Advisor only hopes he can fully mature.
Long Yan looked at Su Mo and said, "May I have a moment alone to speak?"
Su Mo nodded and led the person to the room.
She looked at Long Yan and asked, "What did A Yun say?"
"A Yun only admits that that night it was the Snake Young Master who took the initiative, and also the attempt to poison last night. As for the poisoning in the Dragon Clan Waters, she did not admit it."
Hearing this, Su Mo slightly frowned; the matter of poisoning in the waters had not been clarified, so Mo Xiao had not yet completely cleared his suspicion.
If not A Yun, then it must be the black‑clothed person from last night?
Su Mo asked again, "What is her relationship with the black‑clothed person from last night?"
Long Yan shook his head and said, "She says she doesn't know them; those people suddenly came looking for her. The Poison Bag meant to poison the Snake Young Master last night was also given to her by the other side; the item is here."
Su Mo took the Poison Bag from his hand, was about to open it, but the next second remembered something and halted.
That black‑clothed person is very cunning; she must be more cautious.
Su Mo stared at the Poison Bag and said, "Lately you still need to have people keep a close watch; I don't believe the other side truly leaves any trace at all."
"Mm, will do."
Long Yan knew in his heart that as long as that traitor wasn't captured, the Tribe would not have peace for a day.
Su Mo recalled something and said, "Fei Yan's formula is somewhat complicated; later I might still cause trouble for the Minor General."
Long Yan's dark eyes flashed with a clear brightness, "Miss, if you need any help, just speak up."
"Then thank you."
The two left the room.
Long Yan said farewell to a few people, then took the Military Advisor and two Dragon Cubs back.
Once at a distance, the two Dragon Cubs began chattering, "Military Advisor, is Sister Mo really amazing? The Shaman Doctor couldn't heal Lord Lan Ling, but she could!"
The Military Advisor squinted at the two creatures and deliberately asked, "So?"
Now he actually wanted to hear what nonsense they were about to spout.
Nan Nan grabbed his sleeve, innocent‑faced, and said, "Someone so amazing, wouldn't it be great to let her stay in our Tribe?"
The Military Advisor looked at him and frowned, "She is not a female of our tribe."
Dong Dong hurriedly said, "What does it matter? Just make her a female of our Tribe, right?"
The Old Military Advisor pretended to be clueless while understanding, "What do you mean?"
Nan Nan opened his eyes wide and smiled, "It's simple: she is the Minor General's savior; just have the Minor General pledge himself to her!"
"Cough!"
The Military Advisor feigned a cough, and his peripheral glance caught the Minor General among them.
Long Yan's ears flushed slightly as he looked at the babbling Nan Nan and said, "Stop the nonsense!"
Nan Nan frowned, grabbed the Military Advisor's sleeve, and said, "You always say the Minor General is of age and should have settled down already, right? Now that we have the chance to meet Sister Mo, such a good person, what are we waiting for?"
The Old Military Advisor squinted and stroked his beard.
After these past few days, he had actually formed a much different opinion of that Miss Su.
She is clever, her medical skill is also good, but she already has several suitors.
And she is a female of another Tribe.
This matter… is still somewhat complicated.
The Military Advisor glanced again at Long Yan beside him, thinking that, regarding matters of the heart, the Minor General's intellect was nowhere near that of the several suitors of Miss Su.
When a child grows up, it becomes a bit worrisome.
Previously, they always feared that the Minor General was as clueless as a wooden block, but now they fear he might develop feelings for someone he shouldn't.
The Military Advisor frowned, sighed, and thought, I can't keep pondering; if I keep thinking, I'll go bald… and then be despised by the one at home.
