He had snuck into the ox cart going south from the mansion in the morning, only to be captured by two Japanese pirates. It was already afternoon and he hadn't had a drop of water or a morsel of food.

“Gurgle…”

His stomach embarrassingly grumbled.

Wei Yilin was frustrated, agitated, and annoyed.

Wei Ruo pretended not to hear and continued to eat her meal.

Wei Yilin had never experienced such hardship in all his life, and the more he thought about it, the more miserable he felt.

“Wei Qingruo!” Wei Yilin called out.

“What do you want?”

“You… You…” Wei Yilin looked at Wei Ruo, wanting to say something but was unable to articulate his thoughts.

“You want to eat, but you're too bashful to ask, is that it, huh?” Wei Ruo finished on behalf of Wei Yilin.

“Absolutely not!” Wei Yilin promptly denied.

“It doesn't matter if you've thought about it or not, I would never give my carefully prepared food to someone who secretly wishes for my death.”

“You!” Wei Yilin was once again infuriated by Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo responded with a gentle smile, leisurely savoring her sweet, dried sweet potatoes.

“Fine, don't give it to me! Who cares?” Wei Yilin retorted.

An hour later…

“Gurgle…gurgle…”

Wei Yilin's stomach was now crying out with even more intensity. Never having gone hungry before, this was his first time experiencing such prolonged hunger.

It significantly curbed his typically haughty demeanor.

Looking at Wei Ruo's calm and collected demeanor, Wei Yilin started to realize that there might be some truth to her words.

At least, like Wei Ruo, he could lead a slightly more tolerable life before being rescued.

“Wei Qingruo, if they were to kill me, you wouldn't really abandon me, would you?” Wei Yilin asked.

“At the first sight of you today, I would have saved you. But after you called me 'sister' with no sincerity, knowing full well you've never genuinely said it before, I couldn't care less about your well-being.” Wei Ruo didn't hesitate to reveal her true thoughts.

Wei Yilin's face fell, as a wave of shame washed over him.

He glanced at Wei Ruo, wanting to say something but swallowed his words back down.

After all, if he apologized to Wei Ruo, it would be a blow to his pride. Furthermore, it would be a betrayal to Sister Wanwan. He had promised Sister Wanwan that he would only recognize her as his sister. A man of integrity must be true to his words.

“Can you at least give me something to eat, I'm hungry.” Although he couldn't bring himself to apologize, his stomach was truly empty. Grudgingly, he asked Wei Ruo for food.

“No.” Wei Ruo refused without a second thought.

While putting on a show for Wei Yilin, she kept an eye on the entrance of the cave.

When she confirmed that no one outside was looking, she carefully took out a small bottle from her clothes, and poured the powder inside onto the remaining dried sweet potatoes in her bag.

She mixed the bag around so that the powder was evenly distributed.

Wei Yilin didn't see what Wei Ruo did. He thought she was just savoring her food while watching him go hungry.

After a while, Wei Ruo shouted towards the cave entrance, “Hey, good fellows outside, I have some food in here. Do you want some?”

“Wei Qingruo, what are you doing? You didn't give the food to me, and now you want to feed those bloodthirsty Japanese pirates? Are you even human?” Wei Yilin accused.

“Wei Qingruo, did you hear me? It's fine if you don't give the food to me, but you can't give it to them. They're ruthless!”

Wei Ruo ignored him, her eyes continuously fixed on the entrance.

As expected, one of the Japanese pirates came in. Wei Ruo actively handed over a bag of dried sweet potatoes, “These are dried sweet potatoes, they're really delicious.”

She even held a piece in her own hand, and took a couple bites to demonstrate.

The pirate hesitated for a moment, then hastily took the bag of dried sweet potatoes from Wei Ruo.

They were hungry, very hungry. For the past few days, they hadn't had any decent food.

He ran out to the entrance with Wei Ruo's bag, sharing the hard-earned food with the other pirate.

Inside the cave, Wei Yilin continued to curse at Wei Ruo, “Wei Qingruo, do you think you can face the countless soldiers? Do you think you can face the suffering people of Xingshan County?”

“Wei Qingruo, you're heartless! You're a traitor! How could our family have someone like you! I will never acknowledge you as my sister in this life!”

Wei Ruo didn't have the mood to deal with Wei Yilin. All her attention was outside the cave, and her ears were alert for any sounds.

After a while, Wei Ruo finally heard the thud of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Wei Ruo, unbound by ropes, tiptoed over to the cave entrance.

Outside the cave, the two Japanese pirates who had eaten the hallucinogen-laced dried sweet potatoes had already collapsed on the ground.

Wei Ruo clenched her fists, her heart skipping a beat.

All the previous steps, from submission, negotiation, delay, to requesting untie, and voluntarily offering the dried sweet potatoes, were all for this moment.

Fighting with Wei Yilin and acting nonchalant were part of her pretense. This was also her first time in such a situation, and her fear and anxiety were not in the least bit diminished.

It wasn't until this moment that she allowed her fear to show.

But she still couldn't completely relax. She had unfinished business. She must kill these two men!

She only had hallucinogenic powder, not poison. If she didn't finish them off, these two would wake up after a while.

Wei Ruo squatted down and took the knife from one of the pirates.

Her hand trembled slightly as she gripped the knife. She knew how to use a knife to save lives, but using it to kill…

The memory of her only previous killing flashed across her mind, causing a tremor in her heart.

She was afraid, afraid to kill.

Wei Ruo told herself: “Wei Ruo, today you MUST kill these two men. They are Japanese pirates, brutal thieves who robbed our people of their lives and property. Their hands are stained with innocent blood and lives!”

Moreover, if you don't kill them and your imprisonment gets exposed, you only have one outcome – death!

Whether or not you were actually violated by them, if you were kidnapped or captured, outsiders will assume you were disgraced, and then there's no way out for you.

After wrestling with her thoughts, Wei Ruo tightly gripped the knife with both hands and thrust it forcefully, ending the life of one of the pirates.

Then the second one.

Blood flowed, soaking the clothes of the two pirates.

Normally, Wei Ruo isn't scared of blood. But at this moment, looking at the blood, she keenly felt the reality of her action. She had just killed.

She was scared, but she had no regrets.

“Wei Qingruo, you killed them…”

Suddenly, the cave entrance echoed with Wei Yilin's shocked voice.

After Wei Ruo had left, Wei Yilin, who was still tied up, was eager to know what was happening outside. He managed to muster up some strength and, wriggling like a worm, he reached the entrance of the cave.

Then he witnessed the scene of Wei Ruo killing two Japanese pirates.

His eyes were full of shock, and his face was filled with disbelief..
