Oops! My Beast Mates Can Hear My Inner Voice

Chapter 106: Chapter 104: Many Thanks to the Second Miss for the Detoxification Flower

On the city wall, Su Mo couldn’t help but sneeze, and her eyelid started twitching uncontrollably.

’What’s going on? Why does it suddenly feel so chilly?’

The next second, Fei Yan, who was standing beside her, took off his outer robe and draped it over her.

Su Mo tilted her head to glance at him, wondering what he meant by this gesture.

Little Nine suddenly popped up. "Host, detecting an extremely strong killing intent! Danger!"

Su Mo frowned. "You think I needed you to tell me? I already felt it! So who wants to kill me?!"

The next second, Fei Yan’s brows furrowed deeply, and the others who were in the heat of battle also paused for a moment.

Little Nine: "Scanning now... The distance is too great. Unable to determine."

Su Mo: "Can you please be useful for once???"

Little Nine sobbed pitifully. "I’m just a system, I’m not omnipotent... It’s all my fault for not satisfying you, Host. WAHHH~"

Su Mo scowled in disdain. "Alright, that’s enough. Don’t put on an act in front of a former award-winning actress! If it’s not someone nearby, then it must be Jin Tong and that female lead. Seriously, can’t they just let me be cannon fodder in peace..."

Little Nine: "I’m afraid being cannon fodder isn’t an option anymore. Based on the current plotline, I think you have great potential to be the protagonist~ You can do it!"

Su Mo’s eyes widened. "You damn system, trying to trick me again! Being the protagonist just means you get hunted down! Spill it, did your boss at the System Administration Bureau give you a new mission?!"

"No~ My boss thinks our plotline has collapsed so completely that he’s decided to just let it fall apart..."

Su Mo frowned. "What do you mean, ’let it fall apart’?"

Little Nine stammered, "My boss said that since I’ve already been through eight hosts, getting one more replacement wouldn’t be a big deal... But I don’t want you to die, Host~ So let’s just become the protagonist! That way you probably won’t have to die~"

Su Mo was furious. "Can you people at the System Administration Bureau even act like decent beings?! You treat human lives like they’re nothing! Tell your boss that if I die, I’ll crawl through the network connection and take him with me!"

Little Nine: "Host, you’re so nice... You didn’t even say you’d take me with you~ You’re even going to deal with my heartless boss for me. WAHHH~ I’m so touched!"

Su Mo was speechless. ’Are we even having the same conversation?’

She huffed, "...You don’t have to be so moved. Is it possible that I just forgot to mention it?"

Little Nine’s crying came to an abrupt halt. "You’re the heartless one, Host! And here I was, shamelessly begging my boss for you, thinking I could get you an upgraded poison formula!"

Upon hearing this, Su Mo’s eyes lit up. "My good Little Nine, my dear Little Nine, I was wrong~ Terribly, outrageously wrong!"

Little Nine sniffed. "The poison is in the System Laboratory. Go look at it yourself! I’m leaving! Hmph~"

’This woman changes her tune faster than the weather! How infuriating!’

Su Mo had planned to make a show of insincerely asking it to stay, but the damn system had run off too quickly.

She quietly took out the poison from the laboratory. Its ingredients were displayed on the space’s panel.

Su Mo immediately took out some of the powder and handed it to Fei Yan with a smile. "Have the Second Miss find a chance to use this. We need to end this battle quickly."

Although Jin Tong was also well-versed in poisons, it would still take him some time to research an antidote. The Tiger Clan could use this opportunity to press their advantage; they wouldn’t have to worry about being unable to drive them off.

After explaining how to use it, Su Mo descended from the city wall.

In the courtyard, more wounded soldiers had arrived, and Xuan Wei was busy treating their injuries.

Su Mo went over to help and asked about the situation outside.

"The outcome should be decided by nightfall at the latest." Su Mo had a premonition that Jin Tong and Jiang Wu wouldn’t last long.

Although they had come prepared, the number of people they brought was limited. Moreover, the Tiger Clan now had reinforcements from Long Yan. With the current situation not in their favor, they probably weren’t foolish enough to clash head-on.

After all, the female lead’s ambition wasn’t just the Tiger Clan; she wanted the entire Beast World Continent.

Suffering a major setback over a single Tiger Clan wasn’t something a smart person would do.

Xuan Wei looked at Su Mo in surprise. Seeing that she wasn’t joking, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, the ceasefire came even sooner than Su Mo had predicted.

Before dusk fell that afternoon, Xuan Shuang seized the right moment to use the powder Su Mo had given her. She then took the opportunity to slay one of the enemy’s commanders, causing their morale to plummet.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, Jiang Wu hastily ordered a retreat.

On their way back, they were caught off guard by an ambush from Long Yan’s men.

This battle had been far more exhausting than Jiang Wu had anticipated.

But it didn’t matter. She would be back!

’The insignificant Tiger Clan would be hers sooner or later. It would just take a little more effort, that’s all.’

Meanwhile, the Tiger Clan was already preparing a victory banquet.

Mo Xiao and the others had no interest in participating. All they could think about was finding an antidote for Su Mo.

When Xuan Shuang’s attendant came to summon them, they all happened to be in Su Mo’s room.

The attendant said, "Miss Su, the Second Miss requests your presence in the study."

Su Mo nodded and followed him out.

Fei Yan and the others exchanged a glance and began to follow.

Inside Xuan Shuang’s study, the three siblings were present, along with Bai Chi, Tian Huan, and Long Yan.

"Miss Su!"

Long Yan was the first to speak, his dark eyes brightening the moment he saw Su Mo.

Su Mo looked at him and smiled faintly.

"Miss Su, you’re here."

Tian Huan and Bai Chi greeted her as well.

Su Mo smiled and looked at Xuan Shuang. "Second Miss."

Xuan Shuang gave her a hearty laugh. After arranging for Su Mo and the others to sit, she exchanged a few pleasantries before getting to the point.

"This time, it is thanks to the great assistance from Miss Su and all of you that the Tiger Clan was able to escape its predicament so quickly. In the future, if any of you have any requests, I, Xuan Shuang, will do everything in my power to fulfill them without hesitation."

Hearing this, Mo Xiao and the others’ expressions flickered, and they subconsciously looked at Su Mo.

Su Mo smiled. Xuan Shuang was saying this to prompt her to bring up the matter herself.

In that case, Su Mo couldn’t be bothered with pleasantries either and spoke directly. "I do, in fact, have a presumptuous request. I’ve heard that the Tiger Clan possesses a type of twin flowers. I would like to ask for a few stalks to see if they can cure the poison in my body."

Hearing this, Bai Chi and Tian Huan looked astonished. ’Miss Su is asking for the Tiger Clan’s guardian flower, the Beauty Smile?’

’That’s not something an ordinary person would dare to eat. Besides, it’s extremely difficult to grow and is not given away lightly.’

’But judging from the Second Miss’s expression, it seems she had already anticipated Miss Su’s request.’

Xuan Shuang: "It’s not that I’m reluctant to give it to you, but does Miss Su truly know the effects of the Beauty Smile?"

Su Mo frowned. ’So the flower is called Beauty Smile?’ It seemed she hadn’t come across this name in the System Laboratory.

’It seems the information in the System Laboratory isn’t all-encompassing after all.’

Xuan Shuang spoke up in a timely manner, "The Beauty Smile is a highly poisonous plant. Its cultivation is extremely complex, and it grows very slowly. Although it is the guardian flower of the Tiger Clan, over the years, aside from using it to clear away miasma, no one has ever consumed it."

Mo Xiao and Fei Yan exchanged a look. They had been solely focused on helping their wife get a cure and hadn’t expected the flower to be this complicated.

He frowned. "Could you let our wife see it first?"

Xuan Wei explained, "Right now, there are only two mature stalks in the forest. We’ve already sent someone to retrieve one. If it proves effective against Miss Su’s poison, we will naturally offer the other. However, once this flower is picked, it must be consumed within one hour, or its toxicity will vanish completely, making it no different from a common weed."

Su Mo frowned.

’It sounds incredibly finicky.’

A set of footsteps sounded from outside, and Black Tiger walked in, holding a plant.

"Second Miss, I’ve brought the item."

Xuan Shuang motioned for him to pass it to Su Mo.

Su Mo took it and looked it over. It was just as described: a single stalk with twin flowers, one red and one white.

The petals were as thin as a cicada’s wings. The white one was pure, the red one was vibrant. It was indeed very beautiful.

’No wonder it’s called Beauty Smile.’

Little Nine: "Host, this thing is really poisonous. I’ve never seen a plant that could emit such a strong poisonous aura on its own~"

Su Mo asked silently, ’Can I grow it in the Spiritual Spring Space?’

"It doesn’t seem possible. It’s fed a lot of poison during its growth, and the Spiritual Spring Space doesn’t have those conditions. Besides, it becomes ineffective one hour after being picked."

Su Mo frowned. "I won’t die if I eat it, will I?"

Little Nine was silent for a good while. "This... I really don’t know. Please be cautious, Host. WAHHH, I don’t want anything to happen to you~ I want to stay with you for a long, long time!"

Su Mo frowned. "Shut up! You’re so noisy you’re giving me a headache."

She brought the flower in her hand to the tip of her nose and sniffed it.

’Could it really be true that for every poison, there is an antidote? Maybe... I should try eating a leaf first?’

Yue Ying and the others’ faces froze. It’s unclear who was the first to shout, "Wife!"

Although they desperately wanted their wife to be cured, they were even more afraid of something happening to her.

Fei Yan strode over, his eyes fixed on the flower in her hand. "I have the same poison in my body as you do. I’ll test it first!"

With that, he reached out to pluck a leaf from the flower in Su Mo’s hand.

Su Mo frowned and pulled her hand back. "You don’t have much of the poison in your system. There’s no need for this."

She knew what Fei Yan meant. He wanted to test the poison for her.

But the amount of poison in his body was small; he could live a normal life even without an antidote.

She didn’t want to see him risk his life for her.

"Wife!"

Fei Yan frowned at her, a note of unprecedented pleading in his voice. "I can do it. Let me try first, okay?"

Before Su Mo could speak again, Long Yan appeared before her in a flash. Staring at the object in her hand, he said, "How about you let me try it!"

Su Mo’s brows furrowed slightly. Her heart trembled, and an indescribable emotion instantly washed over her.

’Each and every one of them is so reckless, acting as if testing poison is some kind of wonderful opportunity...’

Long Yan’s expression was more serious than ever. "Miss Su saved my life. It’s only right that I repay this debt!"

Fei Yan frowned. "Wife, let me do it!"

Mo Xiao frowned and said, "I have the highest Level among us. How about we plant this poison in my body first, and then I will test it."

Yue Ying followed, "No, let me do it."

Cang Lan said excitedly, "I can do it too!"

Su Mo was silent for a moment.

Her cold gaze swept over each of them. "All of you, get that thought out of your heads! This is a matter of life and death, not child’s play!"

Her eyes held an unquestionable authority.

With that, she stood up, holding the flower. "Thank you for the flower, Second Miss. Allow me to take it back to my room to study it first."

Fei Yan frowned and followed, and Mo Xiao and the others also hurried out after them.

The next moment, Long Yan also rushed out.

Bai Chi and Tian Huan exchanged a glance and quickly followed as well.

Soon, Xuan Shuang and her two siblings also followed.
