Chapter 1 (1/2)

In the early morning where everywhere was shrouded in a layer of mist, a ray of sunshine shone through the dense forest onto the muddled ground, lighting them up in patches.

At the bottom of the mountain, rows of wooden houses stood, and under the rising sunlight, the mist began to disperse slowly, reminding the citizens that it was time for breakfast.

This is a village built between a tall mountain and a long flowing river, quiet and wonderful.

Ye SangSang wiped off the sweat coating her forehead swiftly as she continued on her way with her companion in tow, both women carrying a bamboo basket filled with mountain greens and dried sticks used in campfires.

“It’ll be breakfast soon, let’s go back.” Wang Fang muttered tiredly and Ye SangSang nodded quickly.

It was their turn today to collect wooden sticks and mountain vegetables today for the entire village, which is why both women woke up extremely early today before the sun rises and made their way up the mountain. What was worse is that after breakfast is over, both of them were still required to work in the fields with no rest.

The two women made their way down the mountain tiredly, but halfway through, Wang Fang froze in her steps moments before kneeling down and clutching her stomach in pain, only to run off suddenly and disappearing into the woods before Ye SangSang could offer her help, “Wait for me here!”

Ye SangSang sighed as she stood waiting for her friend, shaking her head at her companion’s words, Even if she didn’t ask me to wait, I wouldn’t have followed her…

As she was waiting, a pair of smelly hands reached out towards her from behind and covered over her mouth tightly to prevent her from screaming for help.

Ye SangSang retched at the horrible scent on her face, almost vomiting straight onto his palms, but still, now was not the time to think about the smell… She began struggling and flailing her arms around in the hope of escaping from the man’s clutches.

Perhaps he had not expected Ye SangSang to struggle so violently, as he retracted his injured hands painfully and accidentally allowed her to escape.

Ye SangSang ran desperately towards the direction that Wang Fang went to, screaming for help, only to be caught once again by the same horrible hands. Ye SangSang’s eyes widened in shock as the hands began pulling her towards a bush while gripping her limbs tightly to prevent her from escaping once again.

Ye SangSang struggled desperately as she screamed for help, “Help! Wang Fang! Wang Fang!!”

“Hehe, stop screaming, no one else would be on this mountain so early in the morning,” The stranger grinned as he pushed her onto the floor, licking his lips hungrily as he stared dreamily at her, “Even if you scream up until the point of breaking your own voice, no one will save you.”

Ye SangSang was actually the prettiest woman in the entire village… no… in the entire ten villages nearby. No other woman can compete against her beauty.

Her face was small, merely the size of a palm, while her naturally pink lips were lush, like a plum, mesmerizing and alluring. Her skin was smooth and pale, like a top-notch ivory jade, so beautiful that even putting on a worn-down dress would not hide her beauty. She was like a goddess from the heavens, so beautiful and angelic, but her eyes had always been cold, and she emitted a freezing aura to everyone around her, making it hard for people to get close to her.

She was the epitome of a cold beauty.

A woman like this would turn the heads of many men, and usually, a flame of dominance would ignite within them, as no man would give up the chance to “conquer and tame” such a cold woman like this.

Lai San stared at her hungrily, almost drooling straight out. He had always been in love with this woman, but he never had the chance to get close to her… But now, it’s a whole different story, he can finally taint her fully and take her virginity by force before spreading the news to everyone, by then, she would have no choice but to marry him for eternity!

Lai San was actually from her own village, infamous for his laziness. He still lives with his widowed mother and he spends his days ogling over the women in the village. He was liked by nobody in the village.

Just thinking of the possibility of losing her body to this man was enough to make her vomit. Her small hands wrapped subtly over a piece of rock and she prepared herself steadily to smash the rock into his head the moment he pounced in her.

But before she could retaliate, Lai San let out a deep huff and slammed face down into the ground. Ye SangSang lifted her head up, noticing a woman standing behind where Lai San had stood.

The woman looked around her age, she was tall and her skin is slightly tanned, while her short curls flowed lazily behind her, giving her a wild and untamable appearance.

Her name was Li Xia, the second daughter of the village head. She wasn’t at all elegant and hard-working like the rest of the women in the village, instead, she was wild and ungraceful, always hanging out with the village thugs, infamous for being a thug herself.

She was also the target of her current mission!

“Thank you,” Ye SangSang said softly with her chilly voice, she lifted her chin up towards Lin Xia in thanks, exposing her smooth and pale neck, as if she was a proud swan.

But in reality, she had almost thanked her gratefully, only catching herself on time after remembering her body’s personality.

“Aih, our big sis Lin saved your life, is a single “thank you” really sufficient?” One thug who stood among the group of people behind Lin Xia chuckled.

Before Ye SangSang could reply to his question, the thugs began laughing loudly, “As our ancestors said, a life debt should be paid earnestly, I think you should just kiss our big sis Lin as your repayment.”

Everyone started nodding in approval at the thug’s suggestion, all of them burst out laughing while some even started whistling.

“Kiss!” “Kiss!”

Meanwhile, Lin Xia gazed at the woman she saved quietly, her long silky hair flowed flawlessly behind her back, while her smooth face shone strikingly. Her eyes were still somewhat cold and chilly, as usual, like a piece of ice, or a piece of flawless crystal… Her lips looked so soft and tasty, pink like a juicy plum.

Xia Lin felt her mouth drying up, her fingers twitched noticeably while deep within her eyes flashed a subtle hint of longing and want, but she managed to keep her face expressionless as she allowed her men to coo and convince this woman to give her a kiss.
