Chapter 62: It's terrifying when the opponent is strong

When Mo Xiao and a few people walked toward Su Mo, they happened to see several Beastmen surrounding him, chattering, as if talking about some medicine.

Yue Ying fanned himself with a fan, looking at those people and said: "It's getting late; if you have any questions, come talk to my wife master tomorrow."

Having said that, Yue Ying came to Su Mo's side, grabbed her wrist, and told everyone: "The wife master is going back to sleep; you don't need to see her off."

Not long after, Su Mo was pulled away by his belt from the crowd; behind her, Mo Xiao and Fei Yan laughed and said goodbye to everyone.

Seeing Su Mo leave, the few Dragon Clan Beastmen also dispersed.

In the night, Nan Nan and Dong Dong watched Su Mo's retreating back, then glanced at the Minor General beside them and sighed helplessly.

When will he finally open his apertures, sir...

Su Mo returned to the courtyard, took a bath, and upon returning to her room saw Cang Lan sitting cross-legged on her bed with an expectant expression.

The hand drying her hair paused.

【I really feel a bit sorry for those ancient emperor's little sons, dealing with one thing after another all day… where does all that energy come from?】

If this continues, it won't do; being too passive, won't the granny be completely manipulated by those few?!

This is absolutely not allowed!

Su Mo's mind turned, looking at Xiao Baozi on the bed, she said: "Cang Lan, are you tired?"

Cang Lan blinked, nodded then shook his head.

Su Mo narrowed her eyes: "Since you're not tired, let's play a little game~"

Hearing that, Xiao Baozi's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously.

And began to untie his robe's sash.

Su Mo startled, eyes wide, shouted: "Stop, pause! Not the kind of game you're thinking of!"

Cang Lan looked at her, puzzled and uncomprehending.

Su Mo narrowed her eyes, took out a deck of cards from the System Space, and held it before him: "Play this."

This is a newly launched entertainment item from the System Mall; although Su Mo always found it boring, it's perfect for fooling Xiao Baozi now.

Outside the house, the other three—some came out for water, some to relieve themselves, some to admire the moonlight.

In short, they all unconsciously stopped in front of Su Mo's room door, exchanged embarrassed glances, yet none had the intention to leave.

Holding their breath, they listened to the movements inside.

……

Cang Lan frowned, looking at the thing in Su Mo's hand, puzzled: "How do you play?"

Su Mo laughed as she climbed onto the bed, they sat face to face, and she roughly explained the game rules to him.

Cang Lan heard it all in a haze, but he thought he roughly understood.

"Let's try two rounds first." Su Mo began shuffling: "We agreed on best of three out of five; the loser must grant the winner one request. No cheating—whoever cheats is a turtle~"

Cang Lan nodded with an obedient face: "Okay."

At the start of those two trial rounds, Su Mo deliberately let him win, and sure enough, Xiao Baozi across from her became visibly excited.

Cang Lan wore a confident look, this game is far too simple!

When the official rounds began, Su Mo stopped letting him win.

"Straight!"

"King bomb!"

"Haha, I won again!"

Three straight wins left that silly leopard caught off guard.

Cang Lan scratched his head, bewildered: "What's going on? He was winning at the start."

Su Mo looked at the bewildered Cang Lan, narrowed her eyes, and said: "I won, you have to grant me one request."

Cang Lan immediately sat up straight, solemn yet expectant, and asked: "Wife master, do you want to touch my abs?"

"Cough!"

Su Mo widened her eyes: 【What a joke, am I some well-known lustful woman? I… did I act that obviously?】

【No way…… his persona isn't supposed to be an assassin? As an assassin, how can he be so dull?!】

Hearing Su Mo's thoughts, Cang Lan quietly lowered his hand that was about to lift his clothes.

His voice fell: "If wife master doesn't like it, then I won't touch…"

Su Mo glanced regretfully at the abs he had covered.

【Indeed hopelessly dull! He doesn't even know his ears heard me say I don't like it……】

In an instant, Cang Lan's eyes lit up, then he grabbed her hand and pressed it down.

"Touch!"

Su Mo: "……"

【This isn't voluntary on my part; I was forced, so it shouldn't count as me being a scumbag, right?】

Cang Lan narrowed his eyes: "Wife master is the best."

Su Mo's mood was good as she curved her brows.

Then she fished out a few candies from under the pillow and shoved them over: "Here, take the candy and go to sleep~"

Cang Lan happily took them, then seemed to recall something: "Wife master, don't you want me to keep you company while you sleep?"

"……Ah, that, today I'm tired, go back to your own room to sleep, good."

After saying that, she quietly slipped him a packet of chips: "Off you go~"

Cang Lan looked at the things in his arms, delighted, got off the bed and left.

Hearing the door close, Su Mo let out a long breath.

Good thing, this little leopard is relatively easy to handle.

Tomorrow I have to set rules for them; if this continues, I, the young lady, will have no freedom at all.

With a 'ding' sound,

Xiao Jiu came over: "Don't take advantage and still act cute, go enjoy being surrounded by handsome men. Tsk tsk tsk, you get to touch different abs every day—doesn't that feel especially great?!"

Su Mo lay on the bed with her legs up, leisurely saying: "Not too bad..."

"Tch, pretending! Dead pretentious!" Xiao Jiu asked gossiping: "How many of them are there? Which one do you like best?"

Su Mo raised an eyebrow: "Which one do I like best? What a deadly question." She refused to answer.

Xiao Jiu: "Come on, spill it, quick~"

"I won't say, I won't say, skip it!" Su Mo frowned and asked: "Has the composition of Hei Yi Ren's poison bag been analyzed?"

"It's out, you can check it yourself~"

Su Mo opened the panel, glanced at the analysis, and couldn't help but frown.

"Unexpectedly, four or five components couldn't be broken down, and those that were broken down are extremely toxic ingredients."

"Damn, he really went hard on him; if Mo Xiao had taken that drug that day, his condition now would be hard to say."

Xiao Jiu fell silent for a moment, then said: "Host, you still need to be on guard against Hei Yi Ren; his strength seems a bit strong~"

Su Mo frowned: "You call this a bit strong? He's terrifyingly strong! I ask you, after all these years as a system, have you ever encountered such a vicious opponent?"

Xiao Jiu remained silent for a while: "Seems not."

"That makes sense! Can you help me check where he came from? He couldn't also be a villain carrying the strongest system, right? If you guys at the System Administration Bureau are playing me like this, that's not okay!"

Xiao Jiu shook his head solemnly: "He doesn't have a system—I can swear to that! If he had a system, I'd definitely be able to contact my colleagues."

Su Mo felt his words also made sense.

"It makes no sense—they're part of a supply chain yet don't know each other."

Su Mo lay on the bed and sighed: "That makes it even harder to handle; without a Golden Finger, being this strong, he's probably hard to kill."

"Don't worry, host, Xiao Jiu will keep you company~ I'm your thoughtful attendant!"

Su Mo raised an eyebrow: "Stop with the sweet talk; focus on upgrading me—that's the real business!"

"That's for sure~ Host, rest assured, if there's nothing I'll just wander in front of the System Administration Bureau leaders!"

"That would be best!" Su Mo yawned and said: "Go to sleep, you may retreat now~"

She's open-minded; any difficulty that hasn't arrived yet isn't considered a difficulty.

Moreover, that black-clad person was also poisoned by the poison from the System Laboratory; I don't believe he's really so capable as to easily dispel her poison.

No matter what, she's still the chosen one with a Golden Finger; she's not afraid.

Outside the house.

Cang Lan had just come out when he was seized by three people outside.

He hadn't even had a chance to speak before those three dragged him to a secluded corner and began interrogating...
