Li Miaomiao felt dizzy and hot all over, as if her body were on fire. She desperately wanted to strip off all her clothes. In her dazed state, she vaguely heard two men talking.
“Hey, this woman is really beautiful. What a fair little face—what a bargain for us,” a lecherous voice said.
“Exactly! What kind of grudge does she have with Liu Xianhua? She actually drugged her and handed her over to us to have fun with! And even gave each of us a big wad of cash,” another rough voice replied, reaching Li Miaomiao’s ears.
“What else could it be? She likes Xiao Bian’an, but he ended up marrying a sent-down educated youth. She’s jealous!”
“Li Miaomiao, don’t blame us. If you want to blame someone, blame Liu Xianhua!”
“Hurry up, get on with it. She might wake up soon.”
With great willpower, Li Miaomiao forced her eyes open.
In front of her was a short, thin, monkey-like man with a face full of lecherous expressions. His mouth was full of yellow teeth as he reached out to strip her clothes.
From such close distance, she could even smell the nauseating stench coming from him, and she felt intense disgust.
“Hmph! Trying to violate me? You’re simply digging your own grave without knowing it.”
Back in the first year of the apocalypse, there had been an ill-intentioned man who, because of her beauty, tried to scheme against her. She personally cut off his limbs and threw him into a zombie horde, watching as he was slowly devoured until not even bones remained.
After that, no one ever dared to lay hands on her again.
Li Miaomiao quickly threw two punches at the man’s face, then kicked him hard in the groin.
Taking advantage of the moment when the yellow-toothed man—Liu Mazi—collapsed to the ground, clutching himself and screaming, she moved.
She lowered her eyes to a teardrop-shaped birthmark on her wrist and used her mind to retrieve an antidote pill from her space, swallowing it quickly.
Fortunately, her strength-type ability and spatial power were still intact. Although her abilities seemed to have dropped to level one, dealing with these two petty thugs was more than enough.
After all, even level one strength could easily lift three to four hundred jin (about 150–200 kg).
Her antidote pill had been learned from an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor after the apocalypse. She had once agreed to protect his entire family in exchange for his life’s medical knowledge.
When refining the pills, she even added spiritual spring water. Not only could it make her immune to all poisons, but it also quickly restored her body to normal.
The other tall, thin man full of pockmarks, Zhang Shuner, saw that Li Miaomiao had woken up and was so fierce, and immediately wanted to retreat.
But looking at her delicate brows and pretty face, his lust overcame his fear again. He rushed toward her and threatened lewdly:
“Beauty, just give in. Otherwise don’t blame me for being rough! Liuzi, come over! We don’t believe we can’t handle this little bitch!”
Li Miaomiao immediately rolled aside. The tall man lost his balance and fell flat on the ground.
Without hesitation, she kicked his already vulnerable leg. A faint “crack” of bone breaking sounded, followed by Zhang Shuner’s scream.
“It hurts! You little bitch, I won’t let you go!”
He rolled on the ground, crying and cursing her at the same time.
Li Miaomiao looked down at him coldly and sneered:
“Won’t let me go? You overestimate yourself.”
Then she stepped directly onto his broken leg and crushed it.
“Aaah! It hurts! I was wrong! Auntie Li, please spare me! I’ll do anything for you!”
Zhang Shuner screamed in agony, tears and mucus streaming down his face as he begged for mercy.
But Li Miaomiao remained unmoved. To her, scum like them deserved to die. She just wanted to slowly torture them first before killing them—otherwise it would be too easy for them.
On the other side, Liu Mazi felt his lower body was almost completely destroyed. In rage, despite the pain, he stood up, grabbed a thick wooden stick from the ground, and swung it toward Li Miaomiao’s head.
“You bitch! You dare kick my manhood? I’ll deal with you!”
Li Miaomiao turned, snatched the stick from his hand, and kicked him hard in the head, sending him crashing into the wall. He slid down and spat blood, unable to move.
She frowned in disgust. He was too weak.
She immediately stepped back, keeping her distance, as Liu Mazi lay on the ground with a spreading pool of liquid beneath him.
Suddenly, her ears twitched. She coldly ordered the two groaning men:
“Shut up! One more sound and I’ll kill you!”
The murderous look in her eyes frightened them so much that Liu Mazi quickly covered his mouth and shook his head, while Zhang Shuner curled up like a shrimp, trying to reduce his presence.
Li Miaomiao ignored them and focused on listening to the conversation outside.
Not far outside the house, in the bushes, two women were whispering.
A young girl’s voice said:
“Sister Huifang, are you sure you already gave Li Miaomiao the drug? Nothing will go wrong, right?”
“Of course. I personally put it in her porridge and watched her drink it. Then I tricked her here saying there were fish. She’s greedy for meat, so she came with me. Who knew the dose was too strong—she passed out halfway, and I carried her into that broken house.”
“Don’t worry, she won’t wake up for a while.”
“Besides, it’s pitch dark and unbearably hot. Everyone is exhausted from working in the fields during the day. No one comes here wandering around.”
“And just in case, I also got some strong aphrodisiac from my younger brother. He said even the most proper woman would lose control and throw herself at men after taking it.”
“When Li Miaomiao divorces my nephew, you’ll become my sister-in-law. Only someone like you deserves my family’s Bian’an.”
“Much better than that shameless flirt!”
Another sharp, middle-aged woman’s voice responded, initially whispering but gradually getting louder with excitement.
“Keep your voice down, Sister Huifang! Don’t let anyone hear you!” Liu Xianhua said nervously. There were still people living near the cow shed.
“What’s there to be afraid of? This place is close to the cow shed. Think about who lives there—no one ever comes here.”
“And even if they hear something, those ‘bad elements’ wouldn’t dare speak up. No one would believe them anyway.”
“Hmph, a bunch of criminals.”
“That’s good. Hurry and go call someone!”
“I’ll stay here and keep watch!”
“Liu Mazi and Zhang Shuner have been inside for a while. I just heard some movement—they should already be in action!”
Liu Xianhua urged anxiously, hoping everything would be finished quickly so she could marry her Bian’an brother.
