On the rocky cliff outside the dense forest, Fang Yuan was using an iron pot to boil dried meat.
After it was cooked, he ladled himself a bowl of meat broth, let it cool by blowing on it, drank it slowly, then ladled another bowl and walked into the forest.
After walking for a while,
Fang Yuan arrived at the spot where he had previously had sex with Bai Ningbing, only to find that Bai Ningbing was gone.
"It seems that as soon as I left, she couldn't wait to escape. That's within expectations. However, her escape skills still need improvement."
Faced with this situation, Fang Yuan remained completely calm, merely scanning the surroundings with his eyes.
Soon, he noticed some rolling tracks.
Fang Yuan followed these tracks all the way.
On the other side, Bai Ningbing, covered in mud and dirt, was rolling through the forest until she crashed into a large rock and finally stopped.
"Sigh. In the past, I always looked down on strength-path Gu Masters, thinking they were just a bunch of reckless brutes with nothing but raw power. Only now do I realize that strength-path Gu Masters are actually better at handling frequent dangers. Even if they lose their Gu worms, their combat strength remains formidable."
"If I get the chance, I must find some strength Gu worms to enhance my own power, so that something like today never happens again."
Bai Ningbing pondered this in her mind for a moment, then lifted her bound legs, aiming the vines at the sharp edge of the rock, and began rubbing them, intending to grind the vines against the stone to cut them.
However, these vines binding her were ones that Fang Yuan had carefully selected over the past few days.
Whether in terms of flexibility or abrasion resistance, they were exceptionally outstanding.
Moreover, the vines were two strands twisted together, like a hemp rope, making them even sturdier.
After grinding like this for over ten minutes, Bai Ningbing's legs grew sore.
The vines showed no sign of breaking.
"Tired yet? Want a bowl of meat broth?"
Just as Bai Ningbing felt she could grind no longer, a voice rang out.
Immediately after, a hand holding a bowl of meat broth appeared in front of her.
Hearing this voice, Bai Ningbing's heart jolted in shock.
She twisted her head and saw that face—both familiar and hated.
"Mmm... mmm..."
The moment she saw Fang Yuan, Bai Ningbing wanted to say something, but with her mouth gagged, she couldn't get the words out.
"Oh, I almost forgot—you can't speak right now."
Fang Yuan reached out and removed the cloth stuffing Bai Ningbing's mouth, ready to hear what she had to say.
"Fang Yuan!!!!"
"You deserve to die!!!"
"I'll kill you a thousand times... and it still won't be enough!!!!!"
Bai Ningbing roared in fury, as if possessed by a sword demon.
Facing the extremely enraged Bai Ningbing, Fang Yuan merely smiled faintly, squatted down, gently blew on the meat broth, and let its aroma waft toward her.
"What a pity. No matter how angry you get, you can't change the reality. I can do whatever I want to you. And you—the young master of the Bai family village, a third-rank Gu Master—have no power to resist against me, a mere first-rank Gu Master. You can only let me bully you."
Fang Yuan spoke leisurely, his expression still calm.
"Damn it! Damn it! I never should have saved you back then." Bai Ningbing seethed with hatred in her heart, deeply regretting why she hadn't killed Fang Yuan at all costs in the past.
"Go ahead and rage all you want. Once I've had my fill of your body, I'll kill you and dump your corpse in the wilderness, letting you die with your anger."
"No one will remember that there once was a person named Bai Ningbing who was raped and humiliated. No one will avenge you. Your death will mean nothing."
Fang Yuan's cold words were like a basin of cold water poured over Bai Ningbing's face, forcing her to think.
"Yes... if I die, I might find release, but Fang Yuan, who harmed me, would still get to live freely, perhaps even peacefully until old age." Bai Ningbing thought to herself.
She wasn't afraid of death, but the thought of Fang Yuan still alive made her feel that even death would be unsatisfying.
This world didn't guarantee that evil would be punished.
Villains might live peacefully to old age, while good people could die young.
Rather than hoping that the villain who hurt her would face retribution, it was better to take revenge herself.
With this thought, Bai Ningbing decided not to provoke Fang Yuan further or seek death actively. Instead, she would look for a chance to escape.
As long as she could get away and obtain some Gu worms, with her third-rank cultivation, she could definitely kill Fang Yuan and get her revenge.
"Come on, drink the broth. Replenish yourself. I don't want you starving and wasting away."
"A bony woman isn't much fun to play with."
Fang Yuan grinned lewdly, reached out and groped Bai Ningbing's breast, then brought the broth to her mouth.
Suddenly groped like that, Bai Ningbing's body trembled, but she forced herself to calm down: "It's all for revenge. I have to endure."
Bai Ningbing held the edge of the bowl with her mouth, sipping the broth little by little.
"That's better. As long as you obey and become my sex slave—fighting for me, satisfying my desires—I can spare your life." Fang Yuan said.
Hearing this, Bai Ningbing burned with even greater anger inside and wanted to curse him loudly, but she held back.
However, her speed in drinking the broth clearly quickened.
A few minutes later,
The bowl was finally empty. Bai Ningbing licked the broth from the corners of her mouth with her tongue.
Though she hated Fang Yuan deeply, she had to admit the broth tasted good—especially for someone who had been hungry for so long. A bowl of meat broth was truly a heavenly delicacy.
"Want more?" Fang Yuan asked with a smile.
Looking at his smiling face, Bai Ningbing hesitated.
After being hungry for so long, one bowl only barely staved off hunger—it wasn't nearly enough to fill her.
But seeing Fang Yuan's smile, Bai Ningbing felt that if she said yes, something bad would definitely happen.
For her own safety, she shook her head and didn't say a word.
She was truly afraid she wouldn't be able to hold back from cursing him.
"Alright. Since you don't want any, rest for now."
"To satisfy a little slut like you, I've tired myself out quite a bit."
Fang Yuan stored the bowl in his aperture, then hoisted Bai Ningbing onto his shoulder and walked out of the dense forest.
His words infuriated Bai Ningbing again, nearly causing her to curse out loud once more.
After walking for over ten minutes, Fang Yuan emerged from the forest and placed Bai Ningbing on a higher earthen slope where they usually rested.
He glanced at the sun gradually setting in the distance, then turned to Bai Ningbing and said, "I'm going to sleep first. If you get cold tonight, you can call me to warm you up."
With that, Fang Yuan lay down on the ground and began sleeping.
With the powerful physique granted by his dual pig strength, he didn't fear catching a chill even without a blanket and sleeping on the bare ground.
At night, moonlight shone on Bai Ningbing's face.
She gazed at the pale moon in the sky, her emotions a tangled mix.
Once, she had been the young master of Bai family village—high in status, with almost no peers among the younger generation who could rival her, allowing her to do as she pleased.
But ever since meeting Fang Yuan, everything had changed.
She was no longer invincible, suffering repeated setbacks, even turning into a woman and being raped by Fang Yuan.
Thinking of this, Bai Ningbing felt an overwhelming sense of grievance, almost wanting to cry.
"To think I'd feel like crying... Is it because my body became female that I've grown weak?"
"Bai Ningbing, remember—you were once a man. You can't act like a woman."
Bai Ningbing shook her head, encouraging herself, and her expression gradually grew resolute.
