~7 min read 1,371 words

Northern Wing Black Market.

Yue Ying came here this time; besides arranging people to look for herbs to detoxify Su Mo, he also bought Baihua Pavilion on the side.

After signing the contract, he planned to go to the village to find Mo Xiao and return together to the East Sea.

Just as Yue Ying had left, the two hiding in the dark came out.

One of them was holding in his hand the transfer document that Yue Ying had just signed.

He narrowed his eyes and said: "Go back and report to the Gate Master."

Another frowned and said: "Baihua Pavilion belongs to the Gate Master; why must we give such a profitable place to them?"

Another gave him an unhappy look: "Just do whatever the Gate Master says; no need to raise so many questions."

That person lowered his head and said: "Yes."

After saying that, the two flashed and quickly disappeared.

Soon they brought that transfer document to a cave at the edge of the North Wing.

Jin Tong was in the cave, flipping through the book in his hand titled "Poison of Soul Devouring," researching detox methods.

He ultimately underestimated Su Mo's courage; she actually dared to slip him another drug right under his nose!

If one doesn't use internal energy, they won't notice it at all; but if they do use internal energy, the drug's effect will spread along the blood and qi deep into the meridians.

Before finding a way to alleviate it, he now dare not lightly use his internal energy.

Lin Shan stood outside the cave and said: "Gate Master, everything is taken care of." "Come in!"

Lin Shan handed over the transfer document and said: "Gate Master, rest assured, they noticed nothing unusual. I left a few reliable eyes inside, and the rest have withdrawn."

Jin Tong nodded: "Well done; future actions must be more cautious."

Lin Shan nodded and said: "I know, Su Mo's several fiancés are still quite cunning! They all deserve to die, including that Su Mo!"

Lin Shan recalled that day on the city wall when Zuo Xuan was shot dead by Su Mo with an arrow, and a fierce hatred surged in his heart.

Next time I see that female, I will surely take her head with one sword to avenge Zuo Xuan!

Jin Tong lifted his gaze, glanced at him, and coldly said: "Her life or death is for me to decide; don't meddle in things I haven't ordered you to do!"

Lin Shan's brow furrowed slightly, and he finally asked the question he shouldn't have: "Gate Master, why do you repeatedly show her mercy? If it weren't for your soft heart that day, Zuo Xuan wouldn't have died!"

She keeps poisoning you, and the toxin in your body still hasn't been resolved! All this is thanks to her; this woman has no reason to live. Kill her sooner, and we can explain things to Tian Du.

Jin Tong's face darkened: "I said, her life or death is for me to decide! Get out."

Seeing his anger rising, Lin Shan hastily replied: "Yes!"

Jin Tong picked up the transfer document again, and seeing Yue Ying's signature on it, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

He wondered inwardly: why did they set their sights on Baihua Pavilion so early?

Clearly, in the previous life, those few had never paid attention to this place at all in the early stages.

Could it be that they, like him...

Jin Tong quickly dismissed that thought; if those few were also reborn Beastmen, they would have taken Baihua Pavilion before him.

Then the only remaining possibility is that Su Mo, like him, is a reborn one!

The more Jin Tong thought, the more he felt this guess was correct; otherwise, there's no way to explain her poison‑crafting ability that appeared out of nowhere.

A faint cold smile appeared at the corner of his eyes; this world really is getting more and more interesting...

Evening.

When Mo Xiao and Yue Ying returned to the East Sea, Su Mo was not in the room.

Fei Yan said that Ye Yuan had taken Su Mo and Ye Ling out to play.

After the three finished talking about the North Wing, they also went out for a stroll.

Su Mo was currently being led by Ye Yuan, playing with the little fish of the sea.

Passing through the colorful schools of fish, the coral forest, and arriving at the pearl beach, Ye Yuan held her hand and touched those little pearls; instantly those round little pearls turned into glowing little bubbles that drifted in the seawater.

Su Mo's beautiful eyes were full of delight.

Ye Yuan gazed blankly at her eyes; those eyes were more dazzling than the brightest Night Bright Pearl under the sea, as if the entire firmament had been crushed into her pupils.

In fact, he couldn't even describe how much he liked her; it seemed that as soon as she appeared, everything around lost its color.

Su Mo was so absorbed in admiring the scenery that she didn't even notice Ye Ling had fallen behind for half a day...

Suddenly her ankle felt cold; Su Mo lowered her head and saw a black thing wrapping around it.

Frightened, she instantly widened her eyes and subconsciously opened her mouth to call out.

As soon as she opened her mouth, the Breath‑Holding Pill inside fell out.

Su Mo immediately snapped her mouth shut, wanting to bend down to pick it up.

But without the Breath‑Holding Pill's protection, water pressure surged from all sides; she could not breathe freely, let alone move.

In desperation, Ye Yuan unexpectedly kissed her, passing his breath to her.

In an instant, that stretch of colorful pearl beach transformed into countless colorful bubbles.

Ye Yuan's light‑blue fish tail swayed gently in the seawater, gleaming brightly.

In a daze, Su Mo felt as if she had swallowed whatever he had passed to her.

When Ye Yuan finally released her, she felt she could breathe freely again.

With my Merfolk Pill, Wife Master will henceforth be able to breathe freely in water.

Su Mo tried swimming elsewhere herself, and it really seemed possible!

Then Ye Yuan followed her all the way, and the two leisurely swam back to the underground palace.

Su Mo thought for a moment and asked: "You gave me your Merfolk Pill; what about you?"

"I am originally a marine creature; not having it doesn't matter."

"Are you sure?"

Ye Yuan looked at her and nodded: "Mm!"

Su Mo felt relieved, happily walked on; after a few steps she noticed the person behind her hadn't kept up, and she couldn't help turning to look.

Ye Yuan stood there, his face red, looking at her: "Wife Master, I... I didn't mean it just now."

Su Mo stared for a few seconds, then remembered the kiss they'd shared in the sea just now.

She smiled and nodded: "I know."

【Really, such an innocent little fish—just a breath-exchange kiss, and he's blushing like this? He's too adorable! I really want to tease him~】

Ye Yuan heard her thoughts, his cheeks burning hotter.

He stood there, embarrassed, his eyes full of anticipation as he looked at the person before him and said: "Wife Master, tonight I'll take care of you."

"Oh~" Su Mo narrowed her eyes at him, then, shifting her thoughts, deliberately said: "Then do you want to come to my room for a bath?"

In an instant, Ye Yuan's already flushed cheeks instantly turned bright red.

He was so excited his voice trembled: "Can... can I?"

Su Mo smiled, narrowing her eyes: "Of course, I'll have the attendant attend to you~"

Having said that, she turned and walked forward happily.

【He's so cute it's against the rules! Next time I'll flirt with him again!】

"……"

Ye Yuan's beautiful mermaid eyes flickered with a hint of loss, but then he thought: Lord Sea Doctor had quietly told him that the Wife Master currently carried poison on her body, with a backlash effect, so it was best not to be with her…

He shouldn't have thought that way; he deeply regretted the fleeting dangerous thought that had just crossed his mind.
