Shen Mu Ning knew that the Bloodthirsty Vine was still childish and did not understand the reasons behind her actions.

So lay things out on the table and make it clear: "This is not the end times, a place without order."

“We still have to follow the rules here.” The Bloodthirsty Vine shook the little bud on its head, indicating that it did not understand.

Shen Mu Ning didn't force it to understand; she simply told it, "Although He Xiaolan did something wrong, her crime doesn't warrant death."

"If what she does threatens my life, then why not kill her?"

"But since it's not that serious, we don't need to go to extremes."

Shen Mu Ning smiled meaningfully, "Besides, how do you know that death is the greatest punishment for her?"

There were two reasons why she let He Xiaolan go.

Firstly, her testimony for Cao Jin was indeed of little consequence to her.

She insisted on beating her up because she didn't want anyone to scheme against her so easily in the future.

The second reason is that, according to the development of the novel, after being dealt with by Lin Siqi, she will fall into hell.

Moreover, after what happened yesterday, everyone in the brigade knows what kind of person she is.

Although the people in the brigade were from the countryside, most of them could distinguish right from wrong.

He Xiaolan, who could lie at will and trample on Mu Ning, was the first to be disliked by the parents.

Tomorrow, He Xiaolan will first have to face the opinions and criticisms of her fellow villagers.

If she has a strong enough mentality, this won't affect her much.

Unfortunately, He Xiaolan hadn't quite mastered the art of thickening her skin yet; she wasn't shameless enough.

The Bloodthirsty Vine nodded as if it understood, but in short, anyone who did not pose a life-threatening threat to its master could not be killed directly.

As for that wicked woman, He Xiaolan, a fate even more tragic than death awaits her.

Knowing it couldn't do much, the Bloodthirsty Vine curled up on its own.

I will try my best to absorb wood elements through the medium of Shen Mu Ning.

Shen Mu Ning was aware of the Bloodthirsty Vine's actions, but she ignored it.

The Bloodthirsty Vine has been cultivating in this way for the past two days. Each time the Bloodthirsty Vine attracts wood-type elements, most of them are absorbed by Shen Mu Ning.

As a result, Shen Mu Ning's superpowers are increasing even when she doesn't cultivate during the day.

Instead of thinking about He Xiaolan, Shen Mu Ning quickly cooked herself a meal.

Since Shen Mu Ning's wood-type superpower reached level three, her appetite has been gradually decreasing.

Because her body has reached its peak under the modification of wood-type superpowers.

From now on, her strength will probably only be around 600 jin (300 kg), and even if it increases, it won't be very noticeable.

Therefore, there will be no need to obtain additional energy from food to improve physical fitness.

However, Shen Mu Ning still cooked a lot of rice today, after all, she still had to deal with Cao Jin tonight.

Then he needs to eat his fill so it'll be easier to take care of him later.

After the educated youth went to sleep, Shen Mu Ning continued her cultivation for two hours as usual.

It's exactly midnight now, and everyone should be asleep.

Shen Mu Ning quietly opened the door and jumped over the wall next to the courtyard gate.

After Shen Mu Ning left, the door to one of the single dorm rooms for the male educated youth was opened.

It was none other than Chu Mingxu, dressed in full formal attire.

Chu Mingxu was awakened when Mu Ning opened the door.

He quickly put on his shirt and waited until Shen Mu Ning's movements disappeared in the courtyard before quietly opening the door.

Chu Mingxu looked at Shen Mu Ning's locked room, hesitated for a moment, and then followed her.

Shen Mu Ning, who was approaching Cao Jin's house, paused slightly before continuing forward.

She already knew when Chu Mingxu opened the door.

It was expected that Chu Mingxu would come to investigate after hearing the commotion.

Besides, Chu Mingxu was too far away to see clearly the methods Shen Mu Ning used.

It doesn't matter if he catches up now.

Shen Mu Ning quickened her pace and reached Cao Jin's house.

After arriving at the Cao family's residence, Shen Mu Ning went straight to Cao Jin's bedroom, based on what she had already discovered using her mental power.

He also casually tossed a sleeping pill into Cao Dashan and Chen Zhaodi's window.

As for Cao Jin, Shen Mu Ning didn't waste her time and directly hit him on the back of the neck.

Seeing that Cao Jin had gone from a deep sleep to unconsciousness, Shen Mu Ning then let the Bloodthirsty Vine come out and carried Cao Jin towards the nearby woods.

Shen Mu Ning knew that Chu Ming Xu was watching her from a distance, so she didn't dare to use the Bloodthirsty Vine openly.

He could only pretend to be dragging Cao Jin along, but in reality, it was the Bloodthirsty Vine that was exerting its power.

Chu Mingxu knew that Shen Mu Ning was looking for Cao Jin from the moment he started following her.

So they stayed far behind, knowing only Shen Mu Ning's approximate direction, and didn't get too close.

He watched helplessly as Shen Mu Ning entered Cao Jin's house, and then dragged someone else into the woods.

Chu Mingxu followed at a distance, watching as Cao Jin was led deep into the mountains by her.

Shen Mu Ning had the Bloodthirsty Vine put Cao Jin down, calculated the distance, and then nodded in satisfaction.

While it's easier to deal with people late at night when everyone is quiet, it's still necessary to stay away from the main group.

Otherwise, what if Cao Jin's screams wake someone up?

The current distance is acceptable; even if Cao Jin screams, only Cao Dashan and the others might be able to hear the faint sound.

However, Cao Dashan and the others are currently under her spell, so how could they notice the sounds coming from here?

Chu Mingxu, who was following behind, watched helplessly as Shen Muning ran far away.

So, did Shen Mu Ning travel all this way just to give Cao Jin a good torment?
