This slap was deafening!

Everyone present fell silent.

They saw five bright red finger marks appear on the woman’s fair left cheek!

She was struck until blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, her head buzzing, her limbs going weak, completely drained of strength.

She could only give up struggling.

The man glared at her viciously, then gripped her chin with one hand.

He warned, “This master taking a fancy to you is your good fortune. Keep crying and whimpering, and I’ll slaughter you.”

The woman sobbed softly.

Just like meat on a chopping block, at the mercy of others!

“Take her away!”

The woman was dragged off.

The young women left inside became even more terrified, crying even harder.

Qin Xi was scared, tugging at Ji Yinshu’s sleeve. “What do we do? What if they take me away?”

What could they do?

Ji Yinshu just rubbed her hand on the ground again, then made Qin Xi’s face even darker.

Hopefully it would help her!

“If anyone else comes in later, keep your head down, don’t look at them.”

“Mm.”

A short while later, several more men entered.

They were like starving wolves on the grassland, urgently needing to “vent.”

The women were like goods displayed on supermarket shelves for people to select, taken away one after another by those men!

Crying voices.

Calls for help.

Roars.

Filled the entire felt tent.

Making people’s blood run cold!

Ji Yinshu watched helplessly as they were forcibly taken away one by one, yet was powerless to do anything.

That feeling was like being fully conscious with eyes closed but unable to move.

Helpless!

Resigned!

Finally, only eleven or twelve young women remained in the felt tent.

If Ji Yinshu hadn’t anticipated this and smeared dirt on her face, she probably would have been chosen already.

Let alone the beautiful Qin Xi.

At this moment—

A frail woman in blue clothing cried out, “I would rather die than suffer this humiliation.”

Before everyone could react, the woman had already removed a wooden hairpin from her head and stabbed it fiercely into her own throat.

Deeply inserted it in.

Then viciously pulled it out.

Immediately, blood sprayed out like a fountain.

She collapsed to the ground.

“Ah!”

Those young women were scared out of their wits, scattering to the surroundings.

Only Ji Yinshu rushed forward, quickly pressing down on the woman in blue’s continuously bleeding throat.

The woman stared at her with wide eyes, without the slightest will to live in them.

Her hands gripped Ji Yinshu’s hands tightly, trying to use her last bit of strength to push her away.

Because she didn’t want to live at all!

Death was actually a form of release.

Ji Yinshu shook her head at her, murmuring, “Live, live…”

Over and over!

But because the wound was too deep, and the wooden hairpin had directly pierced the major artery, there was no way to save her.

“Uh… uh…”

The woman in blue convulsed for a long time, finally dying from excessive blood loss.

“Ah!” Someone screamed in fear.

Ji Yinshu released her hand from her neck but gripped the woman in blue’s hand tightly.

Several Yuedan men rushed in.

They were also momentarily stunned when they saw the scene before them.

But after all, they were people who had rolled through the edge of the blade—one person dying was nothing significant to them, just one more corpse.

“Dead is dead, throw her out to feed the wolves.”

“Yes.”

Two men came up and carried the woman in blue out.

Ji Yinshu watched helplessly as that thin small hand slipped bit by bit from her own hand.

Her heart twisted into a knot, extremely distressed.

She could only slump to the side.

The man who entered saw Ji Yinshu covered in blood and actually found this woman rather interesting.

His name was Batu, a figure who counted as leadership in this tribe.

Not smart!

Just brute strength.

He walked before Ji Yinshu, looking down at her from above.

He commanded, “Lift your head.”

Ji Yinshu bit her teeth hard, fists clenched tight.

Refusing to obey his command.

The Yuedan people had ambition in their bones, so they naturally loved challenging things. Besides strong liquor, they most loved spirited women. Ji Yinshu daring to disregard his command made him even more interested in this woman. So he squatted down, extended his thumb and wiped it across Ji Yinshu’s blood-stained clothing, then put his thumb in his own mouth.

He sucked on it!

The bloody taste spread wantonly in his mouth, further stimulating his male hormones.

Just like a pervert!

He grabbed Ji Yinshu’s chin with one hand, forcing the woman before him to look at him.

Ji Yinshu’s eyes looking at him revealed coldness.

“Very good, this master likes it.” He smiled.

Ji Yinshu was disgusted by his face full of scraggly beard and that nauseating gaze.

Then she laughed coldly.

With disdain!

Batu’s back turned cold. He asked, “What are you laughing at?”

“Laughing at one person’s misfortune on the west of the river, laughing at another person’s fortune on the east of the river.”

Laughing at one person’s misfortune on the west of the river, laughing at another person’s fortune on the east of the river?

What the hell was that?

Batu couldn’t understand those flowery literary things. If it were about weapons and such, he could understand a thing or two.

“This master doesn’t understand your words, but you as a person…” He examined Ji Yinshu, then used his finger to wipe away the dirt on her face. Though not wiped completely clean, it still revealed her beautiful face.

Batu was like he had discovered treasure.

“So you’re a beautiful woman.” He laughed heartily. “Someone, send this little beauty to my tent. As for the blood on her body… leave it for me.”

Pervert!

He released Ji Yinshu’s chin, laughing as he got up and left.

Ji Yinshu was grabbed up from the ground.

She didn’t resist, because the consequences of resisting were beyond her imagination.

In any case, if she wanted to leave, she had to stay alive and find a way.

Soon, she was brought to Batu’s tent.

Inside the tent, tiger skins and sheepskins hung everywhere, along with several bows and arrows!

Her hands and feet were tied, directly thrown onto the bed.

She struggled a few times to no avail.

“Little beauty, sorry to keep you waiting.” Batu entered, his eyes staring straight at the woman thrown on the bed, then walked over.

As he approached, Ji Yinshu noticed a dagger at his waist, very short and compact.

She had to get that dagger!

Batu licked his lips, impatiently preparing to pounce on her.

“Wait.” Ji Yinshu called out.

“Want to play tricks?”

“I’m already tied up by you, and outside are all your people. What tricks could I play?”

True!

“Then what do you want to do?”

“Untie me first.”

“Untie you?”

Ji Yinshu lifted her cold clear eyes. “Don’t you want to have me? Right now my hands and feet are both tied, this isn’t convenient either.”

Right!

Batu thought about it, squinting his eyes and staring at her.

This woman… always felt different from other women!

He was on guard.

Ji Yinshu provoked him. “I’m a weak woman who can’t escape now anyway. Are you afraid of me?”

“Bah!” Batu snorted. “Would this master be afraid of you?”
