Chapter 353: Chapter 357: After the Female Protagonist is Kidnapped (1)

Su Li returned to the Chaotic Space, continuously absorbing Faith Power for what seemed an eternity in light-years.

In the depths of Chaos, there was no concept of time.

Su Li felt as if a long time had passed, yet it also seemed like merely an instant.

When the Faith Power was finally all absorbed, the slender thread in her mind that spanned across space suddenly snapped.

Her spatial inheritance had broken in that hour...

However, the benefits she’d gained in her previous life were numerous, with the vast amount of Faith Power alone refining her soul several times over.

By the time she opened her eyes again, she found herself in the midst of a great mountain range.

This time, the Merit Master was a girl in her early twenties, yet she bore the burden of much bloodshed.

This was a debt formed through taking many lives.

After receiving the Faith Power, Su Li’s vision seemed to have ascended to new heights.

She only needed one glance to realize that this girl was not supposed to appear before her.

She was endowed with merit and a natal chart blessed with fortune, longevity, and prosperity, which should have ensured a life of happiness and well-being.

Closing her eyes and concentrating, the causal threads of the world appeared within the space of Chaos.

In but an instant, Su Li understood the reason.

It seemed there was a leak in the original owner’s space-time, allowing invaders from another external dimension to enter.

Simply put, the original owner was like cannon fodder in a novel or a storytelling book, swiftly becoming a casualty amidst the heroine’s tumultuous experiences.

The original owner was a college girl who got drugged after helping an elderly woman and drinking the mineral water she offered during a family trip.

When she woke up, she was in the mountains.

She and another girl were locked inside a woodshed.

The village, secluded deep within ten miles of mountainous terrain and impoverished, had men who couldn’t find wives and had to pay a hefty price to buy them from outside.

The original owner and another girl named Su Yuan were bought in this manner.

As they were college students, their value was higher, and after being brought back to the village, they were not immediately assigned a man.

Instead, the plan was to first fatten them up for a few days, and then let the wealthier families in the village bid for them—whichever family offered more money would get them.

The original owner’s deceased biological mother was a Miao Girl skilled in Cup Skill, which the original owner had secretly learned a bit of.

Using the brief respite, the original owner covertly summoned little bugs to bite through her ropes.

Planning to escape under the cover of midnight,

in a moment of soft-heartedness and caving to Su Yuan’s pleas, she untied her as well.

Following her plan, she intended to flee into the mountains immediately and then sneak down in the dark.

With the bugs’ cover and enough caution, she should have succeeded in escaping, even with the burden of Su Yuan.

Once away from there, they could then call the police.

However, Su Yuan disagreed with this plan, accusing the original owner of selfishness.

There were other women in the village who had been trafficked, and though the original owner had the ability, she didn’t consider rescuing them.

No matter how the original owner explained that the village women were assimilated and would only make things worse, and that her powers were not enough to save more...

Su Yuan insisted on trying to rescue the others.

Seeing she couldn’t persuade her, the original owner decided to escape alone.

But during the time Su Yuan lingered, the village men had already caught up with them.

In a state of panic, Su Yuan stumbled on the roots of an old tree. Seeing the pursuers nearly upon them, the original owner still went back to help Su Yuan.

By the time the two of them reached the sole small suspension bridge that connected the great mountain to the outside path, the village men had caught up to them.

As the original owner tangled with one of the men, Su Yuan picked up the sickle that had fallen on the ground and ran.

All it would have taken was for Su Yuan to lend a hand, and both could have escaped.

Su Yuan, out of fear, directly severed the ropes of the small suspension bridge and ran away, leaving the original owner all alone. As one can imagine, it was clear what fate ultimately befell the original owner.

After that ordeal, Su Yuan’s once unruly nature fully calmed down. She went to college and, over time, fell in love with the man her family had taken in as a brother. After graduating from college, she married into a wealthy family.

Three years later, the original owner, after suffering many tortures, killed all the men in the village and escaped. She planned to seek revenge on Su Yuan. However, as soon as she emerged, she was spotted by the security personnel arranged by Su Yuan’s husband, An, who immediately killed her.

This was actually a story about pet indulgence within a rich family, and the original owner was merely a minor mistake the female lead had made in her naive youth.

Because of the past events, Su Yuan always felt guilty. After becoming the rich man’s wife, she even increased her investment in charitable work.

In the end, Su Yuan became a philanthropist that everyone praised for her beauty and kindness.

But who was the original owner?

----------------------

"Whimper... Where am I?"

"Someone come... please..."

The increasing sobs tormented Su Li, causing her brows to furrow tightly.

"Shut up, stop shouting, or you’ll only bring more trouble upon yourself," Su Li finally couldn’t help it and growled lowly at the girl sitting next to her, crying pitifully.

Lifting her eyelids to glance beside her, she saw a girl who appeared vivacious and lively, her spirited eyes restlessly darting around.

Without even thinking, this must be Su Yuan, who had wronged the original owner for a lifetime.

Hearing Su Li’s voice, Su Yuan finally realized she wasn’t alone in the dirty, unkempt storeroom.

"Did they abduct you too?"

"My name is Su Yuan, what’s yours?"

"They’re truly heartless... Had I known, I would never have acted kindly..."

Obviously, Su Yuan had come to understand the situation she found herself in as soon as she regained consciousness. She had been abducted.

Remembering the incidents of human trafficking of women and children she had seen reported on TV and in magazines, Su Yuan shuddered, her whole body trembling uncontrollably with fear.

Yet, setting eyes on Su Li, who sat silent against the wall, she couldn’t help but speak again, trying to engage in conversation.

Both Su Li and Su Yuan, two frail and delicate girls, had their hands bound tightly with rope, their feet tied all the way up to their knees.

For two such weak and tender girls, breaking free was absolutely impossible. Even if they had any suitable tools, the chances of escape were slim.

Worse yet, Su Li’s skin beneath the ropes was already starting to chafe and bleed. After some time, her limbs might even risk necrosis. This was a testament to the kidnapper’s forceful binding.

Seeing that her only companion remained silent, a flicker of disappointment crossed Su Yuan’s eyes, and she no longer wished to speak with Su Li.

She struggled fiercely, constantly twisting her body in an attempt to escape.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t loosen the ropes on her hands and feet and ended up exhausted and panting.

The ropes dug even deeper into her skin which increased her discomfort.

Su Li paid her no attention and simply turned her head away, closing her eyes to focus on recuperating.

In her mind, she began to review the knowledge of Insect Control she had obtained from the original owner’s memories.

Back in the Cultivation World, she had encountered Cultivators who specialized in insects.

Most of these Cultivators were deemed Evil Cultivators, as few orthodox Cultivators wanted to spend their lives dealing with insects.

Nonetheless, these insect-playing Cultivators possessed formidable power.

In nature, insects were the most abundant, and their reproductive capability was quite strong.
