Poisonous Wine I Can Make It Too

Xu Mu answered Ye Yu's call. Just as he expected, she was getting ready to take them to school.

After seeing off Tantai Quan, Xu Mu and Tong Guoguo emerged from the illusion array together and headed to the living room.

Tong Guoguo currently had her eyes closed, studying the Yellow-rank technique in her hands.

As a genius in the Transcendent Realm, learning a Yellow-rank technique was incredibly easy for her.

Moreover, she didn't need to master it; she only needed to slightly alter her facial contours so that it wouldn't be noticeable on a phone recording.

As for Wang Hun's subordinates, even if they saw through the disguise, they wouldn't be able to confirm her identity.

Having been busy for so long, Xu Mu was feeling a bit hungry. He went to the kitchen and whipped up two simple dishes.

When the food was ready, he returned to the living room, only to find that the Tong Guoguo before him had already transformed.

Her original red hair had turned black, and her eyes looked like those of an ordinary person.

The gear-like patterns in the whites of her eyes were also concealed by the technique.

Tong Guoguo possessed a perfectly proportioned oval face that was stunningly beautiful.

But now, her chin had become slightly broader.

Although she could still be considered a beauty, she looked vastly different from her original self, appearing to be a completely different person.

"You learned the technique that quickly?"

Xu Mu walked over, carrying the food.

"I haven't fully mastered it, but I've grasped a few tricks. I think this state is enough."

Tong Guoguo looked at the meal Xu Mu brought over, and text appeared above her head once again.

[Affection +10]

While the two were eating, Ye Yu and Bai Yi arrived home on their electric scooter.

"Brother-in-law, I'm back!"

After entering the living room, Ye Yu ran toward Xu Mu. When she reached the dining table, she frowned, looked at Tong Guoguo, and asked, "Who are you? Why are you wearing Guoguo's clothes?"

"Since we're seeking thrills, we might as well go all the way."

Xu Mu said from the side, gesturing with his hand.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. I am Tong Guoguo. I just left the organization, and if Wang Hun finds out I'm here with you, he will definitely send more people."

Tong Guoguo deactivated the technique, reverting to her original appearance. "When that happens, all of our lives will be in danger."

Ye Yu and Bai Yi suddenly understood.

"I'll need to disguise myself in a bit too."

Xu Mu stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"Actually, I have a way to deal with the person spying on us."

Tong Guoguo suddenly looked at Xu Mu.

"Dealing with him is easy."

Xu Mu waved his hand dismissively. "Let alone you, I think even Little Yu could handle him."

"You misunderstood me. I didn't mean eliminating him."

As she spoke, Tong Guoguo took out a flat metal flask from her spatial ring, about the size of a palm. "This is poison liquor."

"Poison liquor?"

Hearing this, Xu Mu immediately took it from her.

He naturally knew that Wang Hun used this poison liquor to control his subordinates.

If they didn't drink it after a certain period, they would suffer a fate worse than death.

Faced with death, these people had no choice but to work their lives away for Wang Hun.

"This flask of poison liquor is enough to sustain him for a few months. Under its temptation, he will definitely listen to you."

Tong Guoguo explained.

Xu Mu unscrewed the cap and brought his nose to the opening of the flask.

"What are you doing?"

Tong Guoguo's expression trembled, and she immediately reached out her hand.

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

Xu Mu glared at Tong Guoguo and continued to carefully sniff the scent. Then, he shook his head. "There are a lot of synthetic substances in here. I have to taste it."

"You..."

Tong Guoguo swallowed hard, holding back her words. Xu Mu was not a reckless person.

Xu Mu poured a tiny drop onto the back of his hand and licked it with his tongue.

Through his Medicine Mastery ability, the method for brewing the poison liquor automatically appeared in his mind.

As expected of something developed by Wang Hun, it was incredibly complex. Missing even a single step would result in failure.

Unfortunately for them, Xu Mu possessed Medicine Mastery.

He immediately rinsed his mouth and spat out the substance.

Then, he took out his phone and wrote down the recipe for the poison liquor. He even listed the chemical equations for the synthetic substances.

After finishing, Xu Mu sent the details of the synthetic substances to Xu Ningbing.

Their family's pharmaceutical company was perfectly capable of producing these materials.

As for the rest, Xu Mu would concoct it himself.

"Guoguo, are there a lot of people in the Immortality Research Institute who have consumed this poison liquor?"

Xu Mu asked with a smile.

"That's right. There are quite a few experts among them. Some drank it early on and later became experts, while others were already experts who were just seeking a thrill."

Tong Guoguo explained, "When a person drinks the poison liquor for the first time, they only feel a spicy sensation. But once the addiction kicks in and they drink it again, it produces a euphoric feeling."

"I see. In other words, if I can recreate this poison liquor, I can control them in a roundabout way too."

Xu Mu smiled.

If that was the case, it wouldn't just be female leads like Tong Guoguo.

He could also pull the experts from the Immortality Research Institute over to work for him.

Tong Guoguo gently shook her head. "It's too difficult. No one can brew this poison liquor except Wang Hun and Yuli."

"Who do you think I am?"

Xu Mu chuckled. "I know a thing or two about brewing liquor."

After saying that, Xu Mu immediately walked out the front door of the villa, heading toward the fitness equipment in the distance.

Seeing this, Tong Guoguo quickly altered her appearance again. She told Ye Yu and Bai Yi, "Wait here, and be careful of any danger."

Then, she followed Xu Mu outside.

By now, Xu Mu was sitting on a bench, gripping the arm of a middle-aged man with a buzz cut.

When the middle-aged man saw Xu Mu, he was completely shocked. "Xu Mu..."

"Don't move. It's very easy for me to kill you."

Xu Mu lowered his hand and grabbed the phone resting on the man's leg. The screen displayed a live feed of his villa's front door.

"Don't kill me. I'm just an errand boy."

He didn't know Xu Mu's true strength, but could someone ordered to be killed personally by Wang Hun be an ordinary person?

Just then, Tong Guoguo appeared as well. However, she didn't approach, stopping about five meters away.

"Do you know what this is?"

Xu Mu unscrewed the cap and placed the flask under the man's nose.

"This is..."

The familiar scent made his entire body tremble. "You actually have the liquor?"

Xu Mu poured some of the liquor into a mineral water bottle next to him, filling it about a third of the way. "How long will this keep you alive?"

"Two months."

The middle-aged man said, trembling.

"If you want to get your hands on this liquor, what price do you have to pay?"

Xu Mu asked calmly.

"We do missions. Dangerous, near-suicidal missions. We don't have a choice. Without the liquor, we suffer a fate worse than death."

The middle-aged man sighed.

"Work for me from now on, and I can provide you with a steady supply of liquor for five years."

Xu Mu held up five fingers.

"Five years?"

The middle-aged man's eyes widened.

Staying with the Immortality Research Institute, he didn't even know if he would survive another five years. But following Xu Mu, assuming he wasn't lying, meant a guaranteed five years of life.

"Mr. Xu, if what you're saying is true, I am willing to follow you."

The middle-aged man knelt before Xu Mu right then and there.

Xu Mu smiled. This man would be the starting point of his control.

Perhaps by the time Wang Hun realized what was happening, all his subordinates would already belong to him.
