Even after listening to Genia, the man did not trust her at all, and he did not move from his place.
Seeing this, Genia did not understand how she could send that man away from her. Defeated, she said to the man, "Can you at least turn your face the other way?"
Hearing Genia's words, the man looked at her with disgust and said, "Even if you present yourself to me, I won't even glance at you."
Saying this, the man turned his face to the other side.
After listening to the man, Genia became very angry at him, but she couldn't fight him right now. She said to herself, "You've messed with the wrong girl. I didn't make you all rub your noses in my foot, so my name isn't Genia either!"
Then she thought about the real owner of this body, the one in which she was currently living. From her memories, she came to know that she was ugly since childhood, due to which everyone hated her. Even her own family didn't like her at all. She asked herself, "Is this face really so ugly that no one likes it?"
But she did not have anything with which she could see the face of this body. She was lost in her thoughts when the man who had come with her said to her, "Hurry up a bit. We don't have much time to spare?"
Hearing the man's words, Genia made an angry face and first freshened up. After she freshened up, the man first took out the rope he was holding and began tying Genia's hands with it. Seeing the man tying her hands, Genia said to him, "Hey, why are you tying my hands? I am not going to run away anywhere!"
However, even after listening to her, the man did not respond and just took her with him and walked away from where his other companions were standing. As soon as the other men and the man walking ahead of them saw the man bringing Genia with him, he said to them all, "Now we have to reach the Black Tiger Clan without any delay."
Then he pointed towards Genia and said, "Now that this girl has regained consciousness, let her also walk."
With that, he walked forward. Seeing him, the others followed.
Genia also had no other option but to follow them because the man had tied her hands tightly with a rope, and he was holding the other end of the rope in his hand.
After a long walk, the day finally began to fade, and darkness began to set in. Seeing the darkness approaching, the man in front of them said to everyone, "We'll have to spend the night here. We'll move on tomorrow morning."
Hearing him, the other four men also made arrangements to sleep there, leaning against the trees.
The same man who was holding the other end of the rope tied to Genia's hands tied that end to his leg so that Genia could not run away. Seeing this, Genia had no choice but to lie down quietly on the ground and sleep there. However, she waited for everyone to fall asleep so she could escape. They all belonged to the Rabbit Clan and had all the abilities of a rabbit. So she'd have to use her brain more to escape their clutches. Thinking this, Genia pretended to yawn and closed her eyes.
Even after seeing Genia sleeping, all those men did not reduce their vigilance, but due to walking the whole day, they were now tired and slowly started falling asleep.
As they all fell asleep, Genia slowly opened her eyes. She was a veterinarian, so she knew exactly what kind of drugs would work to sedate these rabbit-animals. When she went to freshen herself up, she found a herb at that place with the help of which she could make these people unconscious. She had secretly hidden the leaves of the herb in her clothes. Now that these people were asleep, she could make them unconscious.
Genia quickly brought her tied hands closer to her mouth and bit the rope tied to her hands with her teeth. This creature was a rabbit, so its sharp teeth allowed it to quickly untie the ropes tied to its hands. Furthermore, its eyes could still see in the dark. She slowly stood up and carefully took the herb out of her clothes. She did all this without making any noise; even a single sound from her could have disturbed the sleep of these people and put her in danger.
One by one, Genia placed the herb near the noses of all four men, causing them to faint. However, as she approached the fifth person, the man opened his eyes.
However, before he could say anything, Genia pressed the herb on his nose, due to which the man also finally fainted. After all of them fell unconscious, Genia finally breathed a sigh of relief and went to the man who had tied her up. Genia angrily kicked the man and shouted, "What were you saying? Now tell me. You were talking nonsense at that time! What happened now? Why are you silent now?"
Having said this, Genia kicked the man to her heart's content until she was satisfied, and then she searched every item that the men had. So she could find something valuable and sell it to pay for her living expenses. She couldn't even return to her clan right now. If she goes there, the family in this body will send her back to the Black Tiger Clan. So she will have to go to another clan and make arrangements for her own living.
Whatever Genia got from those people, she tied it in a bundle and got ready to leave from there. However, before leaving, she kicked the man again and left. But she had forgotten that the body she was currently in was also from the Rabbit Clan and that the herbs could affect it as well.
Genia forgot to cover her nose as a precaution, and after going away from those people, the effect of that herb slowly started affecting her, too.
Genia's eyes slowly started closing, and in this condition, she did not realise in which direction she was going. After going some distance, Genia's body gave up, and she fell unconscious on the ground.
However, Genia did not know that her actions were being watched by two golden eyes from a distance, and as soon as Genia fainted, that thing picked Genia up and took her aside.
The next morning, when Genia woke up, she saw a beautiful view of the pond. The sight brought a smile to Genia's face, and she closed her eyes again. But after a while, she opened her eyes again and looked at the scene around her. She had forgotten that last night she had knocked them unconscious and stolen their things and fled, but she had forgotten that her body was also from the same Rabbit Clan, and those herbs could have affected her as well.
Genia slapped her head and said to herself, "Genia, how can you be so crazy. How did you forget that this body also belongs to the Rabbit Clan and those herbs can affect it, too? Now I have to suffer the consequences of my own mistake. I wonder where I've ended up now?"
Genia looked around, but she couldn't figure out what this place was or where she was. Moreover, the original owner of this body had no memory of such a place.
Exhausted, she went to the pond to wash her face. But as soon as she saw her face in the pond's water, she cried out loudly, "Ah..."
Genia felt like she was having a bad dream and bit her head hard to wake herself up from it.
The stinging pain made Genia realise she wasn't having a nightmare. She thought to herself, "This is my face. Why is it so ugly?"
Then she remembered that because of this ugliness, no one liked the real owner of this body. She looked at that face carefully and said, "Now I understand why no one likes the real owner of this body."
Saying this, she tried to touch her reflection in the water, but as soon as her hand touched it, the reflection in the water shook, and it disappeared.
As the reflection disappeared, a question came to Genia's mind, "But will I have to live with this face forever?"
As soon as this question came, Genia became sad and sat on the bank of the same pond.
At that very moment, a voice came, "Who screams like a mad person after seeing his own face? You are screaming as if you are seeing your face for the first time?"
Genia, lost in her own thoughts, was startled by the sudden voice and, out of fear, placed her hand on her chest. In fear, she suddenly turned around and shouted, "Are you crazy? Who speaks like this suddenly? What if I had a heart attack right now? What if I died?"
However, as soon as she saw the man standing in front of her, her eyes widened in surprise...
On the other hand, when all the men who had been made unconscious by Genia opened their eyes and did not see her near them, they quickly began searching for her here and there. If they didn't deliver the girl to the Black Tiger Clan, the Black Tiger Clan would kill them.
Then the person leading them all remembered that last night, that girl had forcibly placed something on his nose, due to the smell, and he became unconscious, and he did not know what happened after that. He ordered the other men, "Search the surrounding area and find the girl by any means necessary. If we don't deliver that girl to the Black Tiger Clan, the clan's people will kill us, and our clan's leader won't let us live either."
After listening to that man, all four men went out to search for Genia in their vicinity.
