While Cao Jin was unconscious, Shen Mu Ning had the Bloodthirsty Vine plant a seed inside him.

Cao Jin's brows were furrowed, but he did not wake up from his coma.

Shen Mu Ning sensed that the Bloodthirsty Vine seed had entered his heart before she began to stimulate Cao Jin to wake up.

Cao Jin was half asleep when he felt as if someone had hit his neck.

When I regained consciousness, I not only had a slight pain in my neck, but also a dull feeling in my heart.

He felt a little short of breath, and he thought of sitting up to make his breathing easier.

But instead of a bed at home, his hands touched the hard, solid ground.

Cao Jin was startled by the sensation on his hand and immediately opened his eyes.

The beams and roof that Cao Jin saw before him were indeed not the ones he always saw when he woke up at home.

Instead, there was complete darkness, with only the stars in the sky twinkling faintly.

Cao Jin sat up, wanting to see what was going on around him.

What comes into view are tall trees, as well as bushes and thorny vines growing alongside them.

Cao Jin, who was gazing absently at the trees, suddenly heard Shen Mu Ning's voice.

"You're awake?" Shen Mu Ning asked, noticing that Cao Jin had regained consciousness.

Hmm? I think I heard Shen Mu Ning's voice. Could it be that I'm thinking about it during the day and dreaming about it in my dreams?

Cao Jin stared blankly at Shen Mu Ning, increasingly feeling like he was dreaming.

Shen Mu Ning looked down at Cao Jin, wondering why Cao Jin showed no surprise whatsoever.

She reminded Cao Jin again that this was no longer his home.

"Now that you're awake, it's time to settle our score."

Before Cao Jin could react, Shen Mu Ning grabbed him and punched him in the stomach.

"Ah." The intense pain finally made Cao Jin realize that this was not a dream, but reality.

Cao Jin had previously thought that it wasn't easy for Shen Mu Ning's family to come here, so he never considered plotting against Shen Mu Ning and what the consequences would be.

When I woke up, I found myself in the woods with Shen Mu Ning, and I thought I was dreaming.

It was only because he was caught off guard and beaten by Shen Mu Ning that he hurriedly fought back.

Cao Jin reached out to stop Shen Mu Ning, but Shen Mu Ning easily dodged him, and he was hit again.

Although Shen Mu Ning controlled her strength, she only used enough force to cause him intense pain without damaging his internal organs.

But this is still terrifying for Cao Jin.

He had always heard his mother say that Shen Mu Ning was stronger than all the capable laborers in the brigade.

Chen Zhaodi was always worried that if Cao Jin married Shen Mu Ning, his family would be unable to control her.

Cao Jin didn't care much about this, but when it came time for him to personally experience Shen Mu Ning's strength...

Only then did I realize what it means to "not heed the advice of elders, and suffer the consequences."

Cao Jin knew that he was in Shen Mu Ning's hands and he couldn't stop the fists falling on him.

So, taking advantage of Shen Mu Ning's inattention, he mustered all his strength and escaped from Shen Mu Ning's clutches.

Shen Mu Ning's left hand was suddenly empty, and she saw Cao Jin take off running down the mountain.

With a flick of her fingertip, Shen Mu Ning channeled a wisp of green energy, invisible to the human eye, into a thorny vine.

In an instant, the thorny vine became Shen Mu Ning's weapon.

Thorny vines spread and grew on the ground, tripping Cao Jin before he could run two steps.

Cao Jin fell to the ground and tried to crawl away.

How could Shen Mu Ning give him a chance? She directly drugged him.

Shen Mu Ning's beating of him was just an appetizer; the main event was yet to come.

Shen Mu Ning used her mental powers to create an illusion in his mind.

After Cao Jin was drugged, he fell directly into an illusion.

Here, he forgot that he had been beaten by Shen Mu Ning just a moment ago.

But he remembered that he had done something wrong.

He resorted to trickery when the girl he fancied refused to marry him.

The girl behind him compromised amidst the public opinion, and he got her as he wished.

But later, the girl's family came and kidnapped her.

At this moment, Cao Jin began his punishment in the illusion: slow slicing.

Cao Jin watched helplessly as a person approached him with a knife.

The person had no expression and could neither move nor make a sound.

She could only watch as he used a knife to cut off vital parts of her body.

The man threw the object away in disgust, but seeing the gushing blood beneath Cao Jin, he still managed to stop the bleeding slightly.

Cao Jin felt excruciating pain the instant Cao Jin made his cut.

Cao Jin was unable to move or make a sound, and could only endure this inhuman pain.

Once Cao Jin had recovered, the man continued his punishment.

This time, Cao Jin had his flesh sliced ​​off piece by piece by that man with a knife.

Cao Jin didn't know what method that person used to make him consciously feel the sensation of his flesh being cut off.

He felt overwhelmed by fear and only wanted to die immediately to escape this punishment.

No matter how strong Cao Jin's desire to die was, he could only endure this torment.

Until the executioner had made 1,585 cuts on Cao Jin's body.

With the final blow, Cao Jincai got his wish and went to his death.

Feeling her mental energy rapidly depleting, Shen Mu Ning angrily pulled Cao Jin out of the illusion.

Shen Mu Ning originally wanted to see if she could stab him two or three thousand dollars.

However, his mental energy was severely depleted, and Chu Mingxu was watching from a distance.

This prevented her from experimenting to her heart's content.
