“I understand, I won’t do it again.”
No matter what she thought inside, she still pretended to be receptive on the surface.
Captain Beast Girl was very satisfied.
Seeing this, Xing Lian gently bit her lip and ate small bites, thinking the captain was easy to fool.
‘She thought the captain would do something to her, but this was it?’
Although her words made sense, she didn’t want to be kept like a bird in a gilded cage.
After finishing dinner, Captain Beast Girl left a bottle of wound medicine and then got up and left.
That night, Xing Lian slept very restlessly.
It wasn’t because of her mood, but because of her body.
She had fallen while climbing the wall during the day and suffered a minor injury.
Although she had applied medicine, it wouldn’t heal that quickly.
However, the medical technology in this world seemed very advanced; after just one night, her injuries had healed considerably and were no longer as painful as yesterday.
Xing Lian got up, put on clothes, washed her face, and sat in the room waiting.
Captain Beast Girl soon arrived again, brought her breakfast, chatted for a while, then hurried out.
Xing Lian ate breakfast, then wandered into the yard, wanting to escape from this place.
Although she was injured yesterday, that was because of an accident.
Climbing the wall to escape was feasible; as long as she was careful, she could…
‘Wait! What was that?’
Since last night, she hadn’t been to the yard.
Now, walking out of the room, she looked around the small yard and didn’t notice anything wrong.
But when she looked up at the wall, Xing Lian was completely stunned.
There were now a bunch of glass shards on top of the wall.
Yesterday they weren’t there, so how did they appear today!?
Xing Lian remembered Captain Beast Girl’s persuasion last night.
She thought the captain only used words, but she had been waiting for her here.
Xing Lian felt very angry, but had nowhere to vent.
After all, what could she do?
Could she tell Captain Beast Girl to remove the glass so she could climb the wall?
With this glass there, climbing the wall was impossible.
Xing Lian paced back and forth in the small yard, thinking for a long time but couldn’t come up with a way to escape.
Unable to climb the wall, Xing Lian returned dejectedly, sat on a small stool in the room, and played with her fingers boredly.
Time slowly passed, and soon it was noon.
Having nothing to do, Xing Lian wanted to ask Captain Beast Girl to bring her some books, but after thinking carefully, she ultimately didn’t speak up.
Although reading could pass the time, it would also dull her will.
She knew her own nature.
She was content with her situation, had no ambition, as long as there was something to do, even staying in the room for a lifetime would be fine.
What if Captain Beast Girl brought her books, she got absorbed in reading, and forgot about escaping?
Freedom was more important than enduring boredom.
If she was bored, she would let her mind wander, and the more she thought, the more determined she would become to escape.
Xing Lian decided to sleep on brushwood and taste gall, temporarily swallowing her anger.
The captain’s supervision of her was not strict; as long as she persisted, she could always find an opportunity.
However, soon, Xing Lian couldn’t stand it anymore.
Captain Beast Girl only respected her, which was why she didn’t push her down immediately, but that didn’t mean she was a righteous gentleman.
How could she not be tempted with a stunning beauty by her side?
She just didn’t have the time and was also concerned about the beauty’s feelings.
Xing Lian’s swallowing of her anger was seen by Captain Beast Girl as slowly accepting her and no longer resisting.
If that was the case, then some things could be done.
Thus, in the following days, Xing Lian was constantly harassed.
Before, it was fine, she was just a meal delivery tool, but now after delivering meals, she would chat and take liberties with her.
Holding hands could be tolerated, but hugging around the waist was truly unacceptable.
Once she barely accepted that, she even wanted to kiss her.
‘No, kissing is absolutely out of the question!’
Xing Lian couldn’t take it anymore.
Just as she was about to explode, an accident suddenly happened.
That day, Captain Beast Girl came to deliver her meal again.
This time she brought a lot of things, carrying large and small bags.
‘What was this about?’ Xing Lian looked puzzled.
Captain Beast Girl said to her, “I have a mission recently, and I’ll be away for several days. During this time, I won’t be able to deliver meals to you. These are the foods I bought for you. Bear with it for now. I’ll bring you a gift when I return.”
Xing Lian wasn’t looking forward to her gift, but she was very much looking forward to her leaving.
In the next few days, she wouldn’t have to endure her harassment.
And with her gone, wouldn’t she have a chance to escape?
The more Xing Lian thought about it, the happier she became.
It took great effort not to laugh out loud.
“I understand.”
She said softly, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly.
Captain Beast Girl was deceived.
Seeing her “reluctant” look, she felt very satisfied.
“Don’t worry. Even if it’s just for you, I’ll leave early and return early.”
Perhaps because she acted too convincingly, or because of her beauty, Captain Beast Girl couldn’t help but comfort her.
‘She wasn’t worried at all, okay!’
‘Don’t leave early and return early! Better yet, never come back.’
Xing Lian thought silently, but didn’t show it on her face.
She ate lunch quietly, listening to her chatter.
When she finally left, Xing Lian breathed a sigh of relief.
Captain Beast Girl’s departure filled Xing Lian with joy.
The next few days she wouldn’t return; this was undoubtedly her chance.
The door was locked; she couldn’t open it.
But the courtyard wall was different.
Although the top of the wall was embedded with glass fragments, since they could be embedded, they could be cleared away.
Previously, Captain Beast Girl came three times a day, so clearing the fragments would easily attract attention.
But now it was different; she had enough time to do it.
However, she couldn’t be too hasty.
“Wait a day. I’ll talk about it after she leaves.”
Xing Lian restrained herself and excitedly waited for time to pass.
One day passed.
The next day, the sun was bright, birds sang and flowers smelled fragrant.
Xing Lian got up, put on clothes, washed her face, and then went to eat breakfast.
Breakfast was ordinary, all pre-packaged food.
Xing Lian had little appetite, but she still forced herself to eat.
After breakfast, she excitedly carried a small stool to the wall.
She decided to clear this spot.
When the glass shards were removed, she could get out from here.
Xing Lian took out the tool she had prepared yesterday, a broken broom handle.
Although this thing wasn’t easy to use, she had no tools here and couldn’t choose.
Xing Lian stood on the small stool and used the broom handle to hit the glass fragments.
Because the posture was hard to apply force and the tool was poor, the effect was not good.
The glass fragments were very sturdy; breaking them was extremely difficult.
Moreover, even if she managed to break them off, some fragments remained embedded in the wall, which annoyed Xing Lian.
The top of the wall was full of glass shards.
How was she supposed to climb it?
Xing Lian looked troubled.
She carefully examined the wall and tried a few more times to clean it up.
But the wall was too high; she couldn’t do it at all.
Some glass fragments could be removed, but more were deeply embedded in the wall.
