Their true feelings revealed: the beastly husbands are working themselves to the bone every night.

Chapter 139 It doesn't matter who's number one, you can be number one too!

Jin Tong came out of Su Mo's room and asked coldly, "Have you found the person?"

"Not yet. The other side is quite strong and good at hiding, but this is our territory, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

Lin Shan sneered, "Since he's walked right into our trap, even better! If we can capture them all, we can completely control Su Mo!"

Jin Tong didn't say anything, but instead used those few people to control Su Mo?

That might not be feasible.

Su Mo is a cunning and treacherous woman; how could she willingly be blackmailed?

He grabbed her twice, and although she looked scared each time, she never begged for mercy willingly!
Will someone with such a stubborn streak be controlled by others?
In a world where males outnumber females, how many females truly care about the life of a male? If he dies, they simply replace him.

However, the trap he set this time was indeed aimed at Su Mo and her few beastly husbands.

Jin Tong naturally didn't believe that Su Mo would genuinely research an antidote for him, so his first step was to cut off her wings!

Her several beast husbands are all quite powerful, and keeping them around would only be a threat to him!
Only by capturing them all would she be willing to stay by his side and research an antidote for him.

All he needs now is to buy time. He believes that if he can buy enough time, he will eventually be able to develop the antidote himself!

When that time comes, we'll send Su Mo and her fiancés to reunite!
At this moment, Su Mo was in her room.

The system lab has already released the test results, but they show that only half of the formula was detected.

Su Mo frowned and asked Xiao Jiu, "Is your System Management Bureau even competent? You've only produced a few results, most of which I already knew. Is this some kind of cheat code? Are you kidding me?!"

Xiao Jiu stammered, "Host... the other party might have used a lot of drugs that weren't recorded in the system's lab, so it couldn't be detected."

Su Mo was speechless: "Seriously, a system like yours can't even include all these drug names? Are you kidding me?!"

"Our data here is updated based on the situations encountered by the host in each timeline. Some situations haven't been encountered yet, so naturally, they're not included... Once you've figured them out, you can naturally include them~"

"Your System Management Bureau is truly utterly scum!" Su Mo complained, then frowned and said, "Jin Tong is not easy to fool. If I don't give him an explanation, I'm afraid I won't live for more than a few days."

Xiao Jiu was silent for a few seconds, then tentatively said, "How about we study the antidote pills currently in the system space and fool him for a few days, delaying it until your beastmen come looking for us?"

"Logically speaking, those guys should have already come looking for us. I have a feeling that Jin Tong has ulterior motives this time. He didn't block my pheromones the whole way, he was clearly waiting for them to come looking for us."

Xiao Jiu: "Don't worry, those guys working together should be able to handle it."

Su Mo frowned: "What if Jin Tong and Jiang Wu join forces?"

Xiao Jiu fell silent.

Su Mo frowned: "Could it be that Jiang Wu made Jin Tong's pills? If she did, this is really troublesome."

Jin Tong was already troublesome enough, but with Jiang Wu joining the fray, attacking from both sides, this was not a good thing for her!
The female protagonist in the original novel is very skilled at making poisons; that's a special ability the author gave her.

Later on, she relied on those poisons to recruit many powerful beastmen.

Su Mo thought about it more and more and felt that this was very likely: "She must want to use medicine to control Jin Tong and make him work for her! If I detoxify Jin Tong, wouldn't I become a thorn in the heroine's side?"

Xiao Jiu sighed, "Judging from the current situation, if you don't help him detoxify, you'll become a thorn in the female lead's side. I think you should think of another way to make Jin Tong your weapon; perhaps the situation can still be turned around." Su Mo: "...You really think highly of me. Jin Tong is a venomous snake; he could kill me at any moment! Besides, he's a reborn person; do you think he'd willingly obey someone else? He probably wants to compete with the female lead for the world. It seems that the female lead is still the more skilled one."

"Not necessarily, this system thinks you should give it a try too~ It doesn't matter who's number one, you can do it too!"

Su Mo's eyes widened and she screamed, "Are you crazy? Did you use your eyes as kimchi jars? How much did you drink? Go outside and get some fresh air to clear your head!"

Are you kidding me? You want me to be a free kill? No way!

“…Host!” Xiao Jiu was furious with her, gritting her teeth as she said, “Given the current situation, not fighting is also a dead end!”

"Don't worry, when that day comes, I'll definitely take you with me. Even in the underworld, we'll still be a pair of bickering lovers!"

Don't even think about sending me to my death! Absolutely not!

Xiao Jiu frowned: "Don't even think about it! System, I'm immortal!"

Su Mo's eyes widened, her voice excited: "Ah! Then I'll give you a love potion! As long as you don't die, I definitely won't die either, right? Immortality, what a great thing!!"

Xiao Jiu: "Calm down! I'm a system, I can't handle that stuff!!!"

Soon, Jin Tong's people brought Su Mo some herbs.

Su Mo took it and looked at it, but no information came in from outside.

It seems that Jin Tong's defenses are really tight this time, and the same method won't work anymore.

That evening, Su Mo had someone at the door deliver two pills to Jin Tong.

The antidote pills from the system laboratory are a mixture; they can't cure the poison in his body, but they can fool him for a short time.

Of course, she added some other things to it.

Xiao Jiu frowned and said, "Host, you're too bold. Jin Tong hasn't settled the score with you for what happened last time yet~"

Su Mo raised an eyebrow: "Don't be afraid, this is a colorless and odorless powder. I added a small amount so it won't be detected for now! By the time he finds out, we might already be out of here! Anyway, we'll die if we don't add it, but if we do... we might die a little slower."

"Uh, your twisted logic actually makes some sense?" Xiao Jiu exclaimed excitedly, "Why not add more and just kill him completely!"

"Are you stupid? If I give him too much, he'll immediately notice and won't take my medicine anymore! There are heavy guards outside now. Even if he dies, I have no fighting skills and won't be able to get out alive. So, it's better to give him small doses multiple times. We'll wait for the right opportunity to make our move!"

Xiao Jiu nodded in agreement: "It has to be you!"

The herbs that Jin Tong had sent were planted by Su Mo in the spiritual spring space.

Then he selected some more and sent them to the system laboratory to see if they would react with the pill that Jin Tong had given him.

That night, Su Mo didn't sleep very well.

I could vaguely hear a rustling sound coming from outside.

Her eyelids twitched involuntarily, instantly dispelling her sleepiness. She got up and glanced out the window.
