Tang En didn’t know where he got a rope, but he bound An Qiluo’s arms behind his back and tied his right leg to a tree trunk. After finishing, Tang En ignored An Qiluo; they were deep in the forest, and no one would come to save him no matter how much he screamed.
Tang En returned to Bao’er’s side, preparing to take off his clothes. Bao’er, struggling, suddenly saw An Qiluo’s face and immediately said: “Tang En, Tang En, please don’t marry me. I’m terrible at my studies; you should find An Qiluo. He’s my cousin, handsome and a top student. It’s more suitable for you to choose him.”
Tang En raised an eyebrow at her words, “Is your cousin not good to you? Bao’er, you know I only like you. I don’t care whether you’re good at your studies or can make potions. I have enough money to buy those potions! But Bao’er, such a delicate female, there’s only one in this world.”
Bao’er’s sapphire blue eyes were welling with tears of fear. “Tang En, An Qiluo is really better than me. I can’t compare with him at all.”
Tang En was getting irritated by her words. “Okay, okay, you say he’s good; I want to see just how good he is.”
Tang En stood up and walked toward An Qiluo.
An Qiluo forced himself to calm down, his eyes as cold as ice, shooting piercing glares at Tang En.
Tang En squatted down next to An Qiluo, pinching his chin to examine him up and down, as if he were inspecting a product.
An Qiluo said, “Tang En, let me go. I won’t spill the beans about you and Bao’er.”
“Ha!” Tang En sneered coldly, “You’re safest here; who knows if you’re being sincere.”
“Of course I’m sincere! The way Bao’er just treated me left me feeling none of the affection I had. I couldn’t care less about his life or death; if he marries you, then at least someone can look after him and prevent him from doing anything outrageous.” An Qiluo sincerely explained.
Tang En dangerously narrowed his eyes, “Outrageous? Who are you talking about?”
An Qiluo seemed to find it amusing, “Who do you think? Don’t you already know Bao’er’s true nature? Who else could I be referring to?”
Upon hearing An Qiluo’s words, Bao’er felt a pang of panic: “Tang En, don’t listen to An Qiluo’s nonsense! How could I flirt with anyone else? My heart only belongs to you!”
As Bao’er spoke, tears streamed down her cheeks. “Tang En, I really like you, but I’m too young. My dad would never allow me to get married.”
At first, she was indeed attracted to Tang En’s power, but after realizing his arrogance and perverse possessiveness, Bao’er immediately felt like retreating. Little did she know that Tang En wouldn’t let go; when they met here today to discuss breaking up, he actually went insane and insisted on forcibly marrying her.
Tang En ignored Bao’er, releasing the grip on An Qiluo’s chin and asking, “Continue, who has Bao’er flirted with?”
An Qiluo replied angrily, “Speaking of this makes me seethe! During the summer, I went hiking with my partner, and Bao’er actually flirted with my partner in front of me. What a blatant display of insatiable desire!”
Seeing that An Qiluo’s expression didn’t look like he was lying, Tang En’s face soured as he walked up to Bao’er and seized her collar, asking harshly, “You little brat! Not even sparing your cousin’s boyfriend—clearly, you’ve been deceiving me all this time! What nonsense about loving only me, wanting me not to overthink? Bao’er, today you’re mine! I will chain you to the bed with iron chains; from now on, you’ll go nowhere but the bed!”
Bao’er, enraged, laughed bitterly: “Tang En, you’re the real pervert and insane! Do you think I don’t want a good life with you? But look at how abnormal you are, always fantasizing about imprisoning me, tying me up so only you can see me! Tang En, I’m a person, not a toy or a pet! I don’t want to be kept by you. Is it wrong for me to want to break up with a pervert? Is it wrong for me to want to find a better male beastman?”
Tang En’s expression remained unchanged as he loosened his grip, causing Bao’er to fall to the ground in pain. A sinister smile curled at the corner of his lips, “Bao’er, I don’t care how you think. Once you’ve provoked me, don’t ever think of getting rid of me.”
Tang En grabbed the two sides of Bao’er’s collar and tore it apart forcefully. Baoer cried out in terror, “No—!!!”
At that moment, a huge white figure suddenly leaped over from behind the trees, slapping Tang En on the head and sending him flying two to three meters away; his body convulsed twice, rolling his eyes and fainting on the ground.
“Yadunis!” An Qiluo’s eyes lit up, his savior had arrived.
Shuai Chang transformed back into his human form and helped An Qiluo untie his wrists and ankles. An Qiluo had multiple abrasions and winced in pain as he moved.
Shuai Chang’s expression cooled. “Was it that idiot who did this?” He pointed at the distant Tang En and asked.
An Qiluo nodded, “He tried to force Bao’er; when he found me outside the trees, he grabbed me. After Bao’er recognized me and asked Tang En to force me, Tang En refused. If you hadn’t come, I would have had to witness a live show of horror.”
“Not a single good person,” Shuai Chang approached Bao’er, whose eyes were teary as she pitifully called out, “Yadunis…”
Without hesitation, Shuai Chang knocked Bao’er out with a swift chop.
An Qiluo was uncertain about his intentions but managed to steady himself against the tree trunk.
Shuai Chang brutally beat Tang En until he was unconscious. When he awoke, he would discover his entire body in pain yet would find no visible injuries. Shuai Chang thought to himself that this was still a rapist. With one kick, he crippled him, as Tang En lay there sweating coldly; the pain was evident.
Shuai Chang dragged Tang En over and threw him on top of Bao’er. “An Qiluo, how can we make them look like they’ve done that kind of thing?”
An Qiluo understood Shuai Chang’s meaning, smiling as he suggested, “You should mess up Tang En’s clothes and unzip his pants.”
An Qiluo didn’t want Shuai Chang to touch Bao’er; he walked over and pinched Bao’er’s neck a few times. Several red marks quickly appeared on her fair neck, resembling hickeys, adding an ambiguous suggestion.
“I estimate they won’t wake up until the afternoon. You should go back to the dormitory to rest first. I’ll go find Yalun and bring someone over to have some fun here. When the news spreads, Tang En and Bao’er’s reputations will be tanked. The animal academy will not retain students like that who tarnish the school’s name.”
