80 village women marry military officers; it was supposed to be a fake marriage.

Lin Yue spoke haltingly, as if each word was spoken with all her might.

Chang Jingxiang hugged her tighter. "Okay, let's go upstairs and find a place to hide. We'll go back when it's light."

Lin Yue raised her hand slightly, but didn't actually lift it; she simply pointed in a direction with her finger, "There... there."

Chang Jingxiang followed the direction Lin Yue pointed and found a cave behind a large thicket of thorns.

Lin Yue's forehead began to sweat again, her eyes lost focus, and her body began to writhe again.

Without hesitation, Chang Jingxiang carried Lin Yue into the cave. Lin Yue was trembling violently and almost rolled out of Chang Jingxiang's arms.

Chang Jingxiang quickly hugged Lin Yue tightly. Lin Yue's face pressed against his neck. After feeling the coolness of his body, Lin Yue reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, trying to burrow into his embrace.

Inside the cave are thick cliff walls, barely enough to stand and walk on, and the further in you go, the lower the cliff walls become.

Inside, there was a thick layer of dry grass, a small bucket, and a few wooden sticks.

It's clear that someone has stayed here before, but it doesn't seem like a permanent residence; it was probably a temporary shelter from the rain or wild animals.

Chang Jingxiang wanted to put the person in his arms on the hay, but the person in his arms was unwilling to let go and kept groping his neck with their mouth.

Chang Jingxiang's legs went weak, and the two of them collapsed onto the dry grass. Lin Yue crawled onto him, her little hands still tearing at his clothes, trying to cool him down.

Chang Jingxiang's eyes turned red from the shock, and it felt as if a fiery dragon was burning inside his chest, ready to break through the encirclement and break free.

His breathing became rapid, especially after the person lying on top of him touched his private parts, and he almost lost his mind.

He grasped the small hand that was groping his body and said in a hoarse voice, "Xiaoyue, do you know what you're doing?"

The effects of the medicine on Lin Yue returned, even stronger than before. She felt like a fish swimming in the desert, about to die of thirst.

She felt unwell and couldn't help but writhe, twisting like a snake, groping for a cool spot and sucking on it.

When Lin Yue kissed Chang Jingxiang's lips, a primal urge surged forth like a raging flood, shattering Chang Jingxiang's self-control.

He turned his head away, but Lin Yue's kiss landed on his ear, and she whimpered softly, "Help me."

Chang Jingxiang lost all his last shred of reason. Before losing control, he whispered in Lin Yue's ear, "As you wish."

A surging heatwave rolled through the cave, and Chang Jingxiang didn't forget to put his clothes under Lin Yue.

The first time, Chang Jingxiang couldn't control his strength. This time, he was very careful and kept an eye out for anyone coming.

Just as he was losing focus, he felt a sharp pain on his shoulder. The little woman bit him hard. "It's uncomfortable, it hurts so much."

Chang Jingxiang could no longer care about anything else, and immediately withdrew his attention from what he had been distracting, focusing all his attention on Lin Yue.

His complete immersion resulted in a thoroughly enjoyable experience, and the little woman in his arms finally fell peacefully asleep.

Looking at the horrific marks on their bodies and the mangled clothes beneath them, Chang Jingxiang couldn't help but laugh out loud. "I hope you don't bite me when you wake up."

He held the woman tightly in his arms and fell into a deep sleep; it seemed he would have to spend the night there.

Although it was already autumn, the two of them didn't feel cold because they had just sweated a lot.

The group searched the Chang family's house thoroughly, but they couldn't find Lin Yue or even Chang Jingxiang.

The lights in the house remained off, so it was certain that no one had returned. With dawn approaching, Lin's mother paced anxiously in circles.

With a "smack," a hand slapped across Lin's mother's face, leaving a clear five-finger mark that swelled up, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

Wang Mazi's ugly face was contorted, and he glared fiercely at Lin Mei with his squinty eyes wide open. "You still dare to play me? This is the second time. Where is she? Do you really think I'm a pushover?"

If they don't hand over the person this time, I won't let this go.

Lin's mother touched her face with a wronged expression, "There's nothing I can do if she runs away. Her husband isn't a good person either. If you're so capable, go ask him for her."

"Slap!" Another slap landed, and Lin's mother's other cheek swelled up as well.

Wang Mazi grabbed Lin's mother by the collar, "Do you think I'm stupid? Me, go and demand her release? You want me to get arrested, don't you? What are you up to? You just want to steal my money, don't you?"

Lin's mother was so frightened that she begged for mercy, "I didn't, I didn't, how could I dare to play you? Ask the matchmaker, I really did bring the person here, it was that man who rescued him."

Wang Mazi spat and shook off Lin's mother, saying, "I don't care about your opinions. If you took my money, you have to hand over the person."

"Those who've been married can't be controlled, but those who haven't are always up to you. Don't you have a daughter? I heard she's studying in town. Bring her over tomorrow, or I'll kill your whole family."

After Wang Mazi finished speaking, he said to the matchmaker, "If you take my money and fail to get the job done, you'll have to give it back to me, and you'll have to pay me back."

"I've made so many trips, wasting so much money, and my brothers can't have come all this way for nothing."

After saying that, she left cursing and swearing. The matchmaker's eyes darted around for a while, and she came up with a good idea that would allow her to avoid having to return the money and even earn more.

She leaned closer to Lin's mother and lowered her voice, saying, "There's no way to get Lin Yue, but Lin Mei will do, and we can even increase the price since she's never been married before."

Lin's mother was furious. "Pah! Don't try to take advantage of my daughter. My Xiaomei is the reincarnation of the God of Literature. She has a bright future ahead of her. How can she be ruined by this Wang Mazi?"

The matchmaker thought to herself, "They're both daughters, how come the eldest is willing to part with his daughter but the second one isn't?" But she couldn't say that directly. "I have no choice, do I? I'm always on your side. When have I ever not spoken up for you? You can't hurt me."

You know what kind of person Wang Mazi is. If you really push him too far, he's capable of anything, and then neither of us will be in deep trouble.

Lin's mother glared at her fiercely, "At worst, I'll just return the money. What can he do? Kill someone in broad daylight?"

"Don't even think about touching my Xiaomei. If anything happens to her, I'll fight you to the death. It's a fight to the death."

The matchmaker inwardly cursed her bad luck for encountering such a person, but still tried to persuade her kindly, saying, "Yes, yes, I know you feel sorry for your daughter. Let's discuss it again. If all else fails, we can find an opportunity to go to her door and snatch her away."

Her words struck a chord with Lin's mother, who shared the same thought: Chang Jingxiang couldn't keep watching Lin Yue forever; he would eventually find a chance to drag her out again.

She's just not good enough. That brat is so lucky; someone always helps her.
