Su Xiao had not killed Mie Tang outright for a very simple reason: she still had value, was cooperative enough, and, on top of that, she was a Violator from Paradise of Radiance.
"Eat it."
Su Xiao tossed an object resembling a piece of chewing gum to Mie Tang. Without the slightest hesitation, Mie Tang caught it and popped it into her mouth, then began chewing—yes, just like chewing gum.
"Why does this thing taste so strange?"
As Mie Tang spoke, she blew a white bubble from her mouth. Bubu Wang was dumbfounded. He swore to heaven that this was the first time he had ever seen someone blow bubbles with an Alchemy Bomb.
Pop~
The bubble burst, and Mie Tang continued chewing.
"Once you get used to the taste, it's actually pretty good. What flavor of poison is this chewing gum? Will eating too much kill me instantly? If not, give me a few more pieces."

Su Xiao said nothing and quickly drafted a contract.
"Sign it."
"Sure thing."
Mie Tang took the contract, but before long, her little face fell.
"If I run into you again in the future, won't I have to keep working for you? This contract is way too detailed. It has seventy-eight clauses..."
Although she said that, Mie Tang still signed the contract through her imprint, all while chewing the Alchemy Bomb in her mouth.
"Miss, if you don't want your head blown off, swallow that thing in your mouth."
Baja took several steps back, lest Mie Tang's head explode and splatter blood all over him.
"So it's a bomb. No wonder it's so chewy."
With a gurgle, Mie Tang swallowed the Alchemy Bomb, then sat on the ground and began staring up at the sky. She was considering how to survive.
