The scheme has been exposed, so there's no better end than killing one person or two.

Before Kim Ah-hye took action, Hyun-moon's husband and son were innocently implicated.

Her husband was tortured to death by Kim Ah-hye in front of her, using every means possible. Her tender son was bitten to death and eaten alive by hunting dogs.

Seeing the gruesome sight of blood and flesh, Xuan Wen went berserk, breaking free from Jin Ya Hui's grasp and ramming into her. Jin Ya Hui was startled and fell to the ground, piercing her hand. Just then, Jin Ya Hui's father, Jin Dao Ba, returned, enraged.

Jin Daoba, who doted on his daughter, was determined to take revenge on Xuanwen. Instead of killing her immediately, he imprisoned her in a pigsty in the countryside.

This barrier remained in place for a full forty years.

Xuanwen persevered for forty years, but she was always hungry and cold. Tormented by both physical and mental exhaustion, she eventually succumbed to her old age and frailty. After her death, her body was devoured by pigs and dogs, leaving no trace of her remains.

Ji Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and clutched her chest, retching violently.

During his forty years of imprisonment, the original owner lived a life worse than that of pigs and dogs.

Those things...

The two men guarding the original owner were personally chosen by Golden Scar. Although they were dissatisfied with Golden Scar's arrangements, they dared not offend him. They vented their anger on the original owner, sometimes beating and scolding him, sometimes letting those fat pigs do whatever they wanted to him. As long as no one was killed, they would not stop them.

"Beasts, a bunch of beasts."

Ji Xiaoxiao's pupils bulged, her dark eyes overflowing with boundless hatred.

The original owner suffered endless pain, and her resentment lingered even after her death. Even though her soul was scattered, the original owner only wished for her enemy to die.

One word: death.

The original owner's wish was extremely simple: she wanted Jin Yahui and the others to die without a burial place.

Her brother, her husband, her son, her life...

Ji Xiaoxiao stretched out her limbs and leaned against the dirty, messy low wall of the pigsty, panting.

This is currently the fifth year that the original owner has been imprisoned.

Ji Xiaoxiao arrived too late. If she had come earlier, perhaps she could have saved Xuan Xie and the others. But fate is unpredictable, and Ji Xiaoxiao was powerless to change it.

“However, now is not the time to think about revenge.” Ji Xiaoxiao glanced at the large iron rings on her wrists and ankles. “How am I supposed to escape this pigsty?”

Ji Xiaoxiao was both hungry and sleepy. After thinking for a while, she fainted.

When Ji Xiaoxiao woke up the next day, her lips were dry, her hands were weak, her head was dizzy, and she had a dull pain in her shoulder, which she thought was inflamed.

The man on night watch noticed something was wrong with Ji Xiaoxiao and made a phone call, which brought back "Big Brother".

Fifteen minutes later, the older brother came slowly and listlessly, carrying a steaming hot breakfast in one hand and some simple medicine in the other.

"Big brother." The man on night watch beckoned.

The older brother gave breakfast to the man on night watch, then leaned out and glanced at Ji Xiaoxiao, who was leaning against the corner of the wall. She looked weak and had an unnatural flush on her face; she must have a fever.

"Xiao Yu, come and lend a hand."

The eldest brother climbed over the low wall and stood in front of Ji Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaoyu, come here and open the first-aid kit."

When my older brother climbed over the wall, he accidentally got his hands dirty.

"Hey." Xiao Yu swallowed the last of the steamed buns in one gulp, patted his bottom, and opened the first-aid kit. "Big brother, what medicine do you need?"

"It's that one in the red box," the older brother pointed to Xiaoyuzi.

Xiao Yuzi rummaged through the medical kit and found fever medicine with a red casing.

"Here you go, big brother." Xiao Yuzi held out his hand.

Just then, Ji Xiaoxiao suddenly attacked. She stood up abruptly, opened her mouth, and bit her older brother's neck hard. *Pfft*, warm blood sprayed all over Xiao Yuzi's face.

"Big brother." Xiao Yuzi trembled. That woman was terrifying!

Ji Xiaoxiao bit her elder brother's neck tightly. After confirming that her elder brother had lost too much blood and was unable to resist, Ji Xiaoxiao released her mouth and stabbed her filthy black hand into her elder brother's wound.

"Give me the key." Ji Xiaoxiao's voice was hoarse, and each word felt like a knife scraping across her parched throat.

Xiao Yu was stunned.

Ji Xiaoxiao reiterated, "Give me the key, or I'll kill him." Ji Xiaoxiao pinched her older brother harder, and he groaned in pain.

Nobody wants to die, the older brother gave Xiaoyu a look. Xiaoyu snapped out of his daze, turned and ran away, then grabbed a key and handed it to Ji Xiaoxiao.

"Come in, you unlock it." Ji Xiaoxiao wasn't going to put the hostage down.

Xiao Yuzi crawled into the pigpen and shakily unlocked the door.

"Alright." Xiaoyuzi took two steps back.

Ji Xiaoxiao originally wanted to deal with the two of them, but her body couldn't take it anymore. She had Xiaoyu open the iron gate of the pigsty and half-dragged her older brother towards the gate.

Upon reaching the door, Ji Xiaoxiao used all her strength to push her older brother towards Xiaoyuzi. Caught off guard, Xiaoyuzi was pushed down by her older brother and fell to the ground.

While the two were still in shock, Ji Xiaoxiao did not enter the small mountain village. She was unsure if there were any of Jin Daoba's people in the village. Instead, she headed towards the deep mountains next to the village.

"Chase her, chase her, that bitch can't get far."

"Be careful, there are tigers and wolves in the mountains. Go in in pairs."

As Ji Xiaoxiao entered the deep mountain pass, she heard the angry roars of several men behind her.

She couldn't let them catch her, or she'd be following in the footsteps of the original owner of this body!

In desperation, Ji Xiaoxiao unleashed her human potential, taking two steps at a time and quickly running into the heart of the deep mountains.

Swish, swish, swish... The deep mountains resembled a primeval forest. Ji Xiaoxiao entered, where towering trees blocked out the sun, and the clear air carried a dangerous scent.

Ji Xiaoxiao subconsciously slowed her breathing. A rustling sound came from her left rear, making her scalp tingle, as if a giant beast was lying behind her, waiting for the best opportunity to hunt.
