Chapter 354: Chapter 358: After the Female Lead is Kidnapped and Sold (Part 2)

A bug can be crushed, ten, hundreds, even tens of thousands... that becomes a disaster.

This is a mountain, Su Li’s Divine Sense swept across, countless strange and bizarre insects swarmed.

Even in the corner of this mud hut they were in, there were more than ten kinds of indescribable insects.

The original owner’s memory indicated that Insect Control required the use of a mental method.

According to Su Li’s view, the so-called mental method cultivated was but a sliver of Spiritual Energy, used to attract insects.

Then, to command them for her own use.

On a higher level, it involved using centipedes...

Refined from powerful centipedes, whether harming or saving people, it left no trace.

On one side, Su Li was keeping to herself, remaining silent, while on the other, Su Yuan was constantly fussing.

Clearly dissatisfied with Su Li’s indifference, she exclaimed loudly, "Can’t you see the situation we’re in? Aren’t you scared at all?"

"Still in the mood to sleep? Let’s think of a way together, see how we can escape..."

Seeing that Su Li still didn’t react, Su Yuan’s eyes flicked, and pretending to be casual, she said, "Have you heard, these traffickers often sell us into the mountains to be wives to those men."

"You look so pretty, they’ll definitely value you more, then make you bear children."

Su Yuan continued to ramble beside her in a threatening tone.

Suddenly, Su Li’s eyes snapped open, startling her.

She listened to her own heart pounding violently and complained, "I was... I was just joking..."

Su Yuan absolutely didn’t want to admit that she had been frightened by the other’s gaze.

After all, the person before her seemed even more delicate than her, yet one look from her felt as though she had been cursed.

It must have been an illusion.

Su Li gave Su Yuan a meaningful look, "You seem to know quite a lot, don’t you..."

Since Su Yuan was so familiar with the fate of women who were trafficked, Su Li began to suspect that perhaps, in her past life, Su Yuan’s miraculous escape had been her own doing.

In the past life, the original owner didn’t ignore her as Su Li did now; instead, they sympathized with each other and thought of many ways together, unlike now where Su Yuan was angrily threatening Su Li.

Originally, the original owner had thought Su Yuan was a naive and enthusiastic girl.

Even after swapping stories and finding out Su Yuan was a few months younger, she always treated her as a little sister.

Protecting her from everything.

When Su Yuan met Su Li’s clear gaze, she quickly turned her head away, unnaturally.

It felt like the girl’s eyes were like searchlights, as though she could see right through her from the inside out.

Su Li said just that, then closed her eyes again, falling silent.

This left Su Yuan, who wanted to speak again, choking on her words, unable to voice them out.

She could only take it out on herself, continuing her futile efforts.

Her whole body squirmed like a worm on the ground, trying to move towards the corner where a rusty scythe was hidden in the pile of firewood.

To Su Li’s indifferent eyes, she neither agreed nor responded.

Since waking up, she knew that several women were guarding outside the mud hut where they were confined.

Though Su Yuan kept talking, the women outside knew but did not come in.

An elderly man with sparse white hair on his head came over, hands clasped behind his back.

Among the women, the eldest approached him and whispered a few words in his ear.

After listening, he frowned and his expression immediately darkened, then he walked towards the mud house with an annoyed look.

He kicked open the wooden door.

His gaze rested on Su Li for a few seconds, his eyes sharply gleaming.

Then he moved past Su Li, fixing his gaze on Su Yuan in the middle of the room.

At that moment, Su Yuan was lying strangely on the ground, covered in dirt, looking wretched yet not hiding her delicate looks.

The man nodded in satisfaction, then as if remembering something, he turned to the old woman who had followed him and said, "Get me a whip from Er Shunzi’s house."

The old woman, seeing the scene inside, immediately burst into laughter, gloating, "Village chief, you really need to teach this girl a lesson."

"She’s too restless..."

Although Su Yuan’s hands and feet were tied, it was clear to anyone with eyes that she was thinking of escaping.

The village chief agreed, "Exactly, today I will need to teach the newcomer women the rules of our village."

The old woman, whom the village chief had referred to as from Er Shunzi’s house, quickly went out and brought back an old whip.

It was covered in dark, grimy blotches, as if stained with numerous greasy impurities.

Su Li glanced at it and knew that this was not just any filth on the whip, but bloodstains that had congealed and soaked into the whip, turning into black clumps.

Seeing the incoming person, Su Yuan blinked, not yet comprehending.

She remained in her ridiculous stance, shifting her body unknowingly.

The village chief, baring his black and yellow rotten teeth, smirked and lashed Su Yuan with the whip.

Her sharp scream pierced the mud house, spreading throughout the entire village.

Many young and strong men working in the fields looked towards the house.

Their faces were filled with smiles, commenting, "Looks like the newcomer woman isn’t very obedient..."

"It’d be a shame if she gets spoiled."

"I heard the village chief paid quite a bit for these, they’re college students..."

Watching these seemingly honest young men, who would have thought they would utter such morally corrupted words.

A few other men full of anticipation also spoke, "I’ve been saving for years, even if the village chief asks for a high price, I can afford it now."

"College students are great, the children they bear are both pretty and smart. Look at Liao Pizi’s wife, she’s a college student... back then, she was really soft-skinned and tender, it really delighted Liao Pizi. The child she bore is smarter and prettier than others in other families. The money was well spent."

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

Inside the mud house, Su Yuan’s screams never ceased.

She had never suffered such torment before, the whip striking her brought forth a series of Blood Pearls.

She kept rolling on the ground, unable to escape the incoming lashes no matter what.

Su Li watched indifferently as Su Yuan rolled towards her, remaining very calm.

She stared with her eyes wide open, watching Su Yuan signal her for help, unmoved.

She was now just a terrified, fragile girl... what could she do?

She averted her eyes, hanging her head low, pretending to look somewhat sympathetic.

In her peripheral vision, Su Li’s gaze briefly passed over Su Yuan on the ground and turned towards a group of women gathered at the door.
