She appears to be all alone and is not familiar with Zhuang Feifei, so it's unclear what Zhuang Feifei is after.

Mother Luo said, "They also brought us food, but we absolutely refused to accept it and let her take it back. Luckily, Jingyan was in the same educated youth settlement as her and knew her character, otherwise we probably would have all thought she was a good person."

"That's right, those people who smile at you in public but might stab you in the back in private."

“We must stay away from this kind of person no matter what. Although things are tough here, at least we're stable now. If nothing unexpected happens, there shouldn't be any more major storms in the future. We can't afford to be taken advantage of and end up in an even worse situation,” said Mr. Luo.

"Yes, it's better to be careful. I don't know if she'll come again. If she does, I'll still ignore her." Grandma Zhang's attitude was firm.

"We must not let our guard down for her even for a moment," said Luo's mother.

Zhuang Feifei angrily left the cowshed. "A bunch of ungrateful bastards! I gave you food, and you act like I gave you poison. You're biting the hand that feeds you. Humph, I'll just wait and see you freeze and starve to death, and I won't care about you anymore."

As she was complaining, a dirty, disheveled man walked towards her. His face was covered in grime and had several disgusting boils. His hair wasn't in clumps, but in clumps, as if he had never washed it since birth.

His clothes were tattered and filthy.

Zhuang Feifei's first reaction upon seeing him was that she felt disgusted and wanted to vomit.

She had read the original book and carefully recalled the plot. She knew that this person was a good-for-nothing in the village. He had lost both his parents at a young age and made a living by begging and petty theft in the village. Because he was ugly and a hooligan who did nothing honestly, he was nicknamed "Laizi" by the villagers.

When Lai Zi saw the beautiful Zhuang Feifei, he couldn't help but feel lustful.

The two of them were in a very remote place, where few people usually passed by, and Lai Zi began to have evil intentions towards Zhuang Feifei.

Lai Zi looked Zhuang Feifei up and down, then grinned lewdly, revealing a set of black, yellow, and unevenly spaced teeth.

His face became even more distorted because of that smile. He looked terrifying when he wasn't smiling, and even more terrifying when he smiled. If he were to cry, he could probably kill someone.

Lai Zi spoke in a sleazy tone, looking Zhuang Feifei up and down with a malicious gaze: "You're a new educated youth, right? Hehe, you're quite pretty. Look how fair and tender your face is."

Zhuang Feifei took a few steps back: "What are you going to do? I'm warning you, you'd better stay away from me, otherwise, I'll use my kung fu to beat you until you cry for your parents."

Zhuang Feifei doesn't know any kung fu at all; she's a real delicate flower. She only said that to scare Lai Zi away.

Lai Zi chuckled and shrugged indifferently, saying, "If you have kung fu, why are you so afraid of me? Oh dear, you're not talking about 'bed kung fu,' are you? Perfect, let's find a quiet place and let your brother see your skills."

He grinned, his triangular eyes gleaming with a lewd light, and walked step by step toward Zhuang Feifei. Zhuang Feifei tried to run away, but Lai Zi was fast, and he blocked her wherever she ran.

"Brother hasn't even seen your kung fu yet, how can I let you get away?"

“Lai Zi, if you dare to do anything to me, I’ll tell the village officials here, and they’ll be able to handle you.”

Lai Zi scoffed, "You have no evidence, and you're an outsider. Do you think the village officials will believe you or believe I'm innocent?"

Zhuang Feifei's mind raced, and she smiled and said, "Lai Zi, what's so great about me? There's a female educated youth in our settlement who's much prettier than me. Her name is Luo Jingyan." Although she didn't want to admit it, it was the truth, and it was also a way for her to get away: "Go find Luo Jingyan. It'll definitely be more fun for you to mess with her than for me."

Lai Zi said, "You're right. I'll go and meet that educated youth Luo another day, but today, I just want to play with you."

Zhuang Feifei was helpless against the rogue in front of her. Fortunately, she had a particularly powerful cat in her space. For now, she could only rely on Fat Tiger.

So she used her mind to summon Gian: "Gian, come out and help me chase this guy away."

Fat Tiger was lying listlessly sleeping in the space when he heard that he could go out, and he immediately perked up.

Zhuang Feifei had already removed the spatial restriction, and it easily darted out.

At this moment, Zhuang Feifei was standing against a dilapidated house. Fat Tiger looked as if it had run out of the dilapidated house. It was extremely fast. It could leap into the air and overtake Lai Zi. It slapped the mud wall next to it with one paw and then landed on a clearing. It looked up at Zhuang Feifei.

This cat could beat that rascal to a pulp, but this cat just won't. You damn woman, bye-bye!

Zhuang Feifei was surprised that Pang Hu would not help her and would instead run away.

That fat, dead cat!

Lai Zi was amazed by Pang Hu's actions just now. This was truly a magical cat. If only he could catch it and keep it by his side, he could serve it in the future.

Taking advantage of his momentary daze, Zhuang Feifei took off running. Lai Zi reacted and hurriedly chased after her, but when he was about to catch up, he found that Zhuang Feifei had already run to the center of the village. If Zhuang Feifei shouted for help, he would be arrested, so he had no choice but to give up for the time being.

Zhuang Feifei shook off Lai Zi, then remembered Pang Hu. She summoned Pang Hu with her mind, "You fatso, where have you been? Hurry up and go back to your space."

Fat Tiger had no intention of returning to her space. "Saving you just now was my final way of repaying you." If it weren't for Zhuang Feifei's space, it wouldn't have been able to get here and see Black Tiger. "I will never go back to your space again, not even if I die."

Zhuang Feifei didn't take it seriously: "Fatty, we have a contract, you can't escape it."

Fatty Tiger ran towards the educated youth settlement without looking back, and Zhuang Feifei also walked towards them.

Fat Tiger ran into Luo Jingyan's room and met Black Tiger.

Black Tiger was overjoyed: "Fat Tiger, you're finally here! I haven't seen you for days!"

Fat Tiger told Black Tiger what had happened these past few days: "Black Tiger, that woman teased me with very spicy food, trying to torture me for her own pleasure and preventing me from leaving. I finally escaped and don't want to go back to her space. Even if I have to wander around, I don't want to go back."

Black Tiger said, "Fat Tiger, there's something I've never told you. Actually, I've always lived in someone's personal space. That person is my master, but my master is much better than yours. She doesn't mistreat me and often cooks delicious food for me. She's very good to me."

Fat Tiger looked at Luo Jingyan and asked Black Tiger, "Is this older sister your master?"
