After all, Su Qinglan wasn’t some fragile little girl. She had lived an entire lifetime in the apocalypse, where people only cared about themselves.
In that world, kindness was weakness, friendships were traps, and trusting anyone meant signing your own death warrant.
She had seen people smile one second and stab you the next. She had seen betrayal so often that she preferred loneliness over fake companionship.
Because in the apocalypse, the moment you were betrayed, you were gone, dead. So she had learned to live alone, to kill without hesitation, and to become the monster people feared before they could become the monster that killed her.
And even though she had restrained that dark, ruthless nature after coming to the beast world, choosing instead to try living a soft, peaceful life with her small family, that did not mean she had become harmless. If someone dared to bully her, she would never sit still and accept it.
So the moment she looked at this woman, she felt her patience shatter. This woman had to be confronted. Because she did not just want revenge, she also needed answers.
She wanted to know exactly what this old hag had done in the past. She wanted to confirm how this woman was not the original owner’s real mother.
And most importantly, she wanted to know who her real mother actually was and what happened to her.
There was no one else who could answer those questions. Only this old bitch. Only this woman still dared to stand in front of her as if she had the right to breathe.
Su Qinglan took a slow breath, her expression calm but her heart burning with rage. And she was not going to let this old hag walk out without paying at least some of the debt she owed.
She stared at the old woman, who was still refusing to say a single word, even after being beaten badly.
This stubbornness only made Su Qinglan more irritated. She knew this old hag was tough to crack, she knew this woman’s bones were as hard as her shameless face, so she did not bother wasting more time.
Instead, she dragged her deeper inside the treehouse and began tying her up completely, wrapping her with vine ropes so tightly that the woman ended up like a giant dumpling.
She could not move her arms or legs, could not twist her waist, and could not even lift her head properly. She could only roll if she tried to escape, like some helpless fat worm.
And to make it worse, Su Qinglan tied her mouth as well, stuffing cloth inside so she could not scream or call for anyone to save her.
Su Qinglan stood in front of her with a slow, evil smile that sent chills down the old woman’s spine.
