Wei Bao looked at the woman, his eyes filled with profanity.
"Heh heh, you might as well open your eyes and take a good look, what place do you think this is? Poor and treacherous mountains, why would I need six hundred thousand to spend?"
"Heh, I’m already thirty-seven and still single. It wasn’t easy to buy a wife, and such a top-quality one at that. How could I possibly let you leave? Dream on, if you do as I say and live nicely with me, I promise you’ll eat well and drink well. But if you dare to disobey, I’ll beat you to death."
The woman looked around desperately, seeing the surrounding towering mountains, ready to burst into tears, and also the malicious image of Wei Bao in front of her. Thinking about being enslaved by such a man, her heart was filled with unbearable pain.
Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the noblewoman, a wave of pity and sympathy rising in his heart. The source of this content ɪs 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲·𝗻𝗲𝘁
Such a top-class beauty, falling into the hands of a bastard like Wei Bao, was truly ruined. What awaited her was deep pain and torment.
Even if the aristocratic woman was from some wealthy family, powerful and influential, in a desolate place like White Dragon Village, it counted for nothing.
As the saying goes, a fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken.
"Baby, what a pretty face you have."
Wei Bao had already started to make his move on the noblewoman.
"Don’t touch me, don’t touch me..."
The woman shook her head and struggled relentlessly.
Suddenly, Wei Bao let out a scream; the woman had bitten his hand.
Wei Bao was not someone to be trifled with. Straight away, he slapped the woman across the face with his other hand, hitting her so hard that she fell to the ground with a bloody mouth.
Seeing his hand bleeding, Wei Bao grew even angrier and viciously kicked the woman twice more, causing her to curl up on the ground.
"Damn it, I don’t care who you are. Once you’re in White Dragon Village, you’re just a dog to me, a cheap dog. I’ll play with you however I want to, and I don’t believe I can’t beat you into submission."
"Wei Bao, don’t you fucking go too far."
Zhang Xiaoshan could no longer stand by and watch. He stepped forward, grabbed Wei Bao’s arm, and stopped him from beating the woman any further.
"Zhang Xiaoshan, you damn village doctor, what right do you have to meddle in my business? Last time I was in the wrong, and I let you beat me. But what did I do wrong this time?"
"This is a custom of White Dragon Village; the woman I bought can be treated however I want. What’s it to you?"
"If you love to meddle so much, why don’t you go and rescue all the other women in the village?"
Wei Bao looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with a mocking glint in his eyes.
Zhang Xiaoshan really wanted to beat Wei Bao up.
But Wei Bao was right; this was the custom of White Dragon Village, and he couldn’t break the village’s rules.
By taking action over this matter today, he would be challenging centuries-old traditions of White Dragon Village.
The whole village would view him with hostility.
"Hmph, if you don’t dare to act, then let me go."
Wei Bao shook off Zhang Xiaoshan’s hand.
The noblewoman lying on the ground, twitching, heard the conversation between Wei Bao and Zhang Xiaoshan, and looking at Zhang Xiaoshan’s actions and appearance, she began to desperately cry out to him for help.
"You’re a doctor? Then you must be a good person, right? Please save me, don’t let him take me away, I beg you."
Zhang Xiaoshan hesitated to speak.
"Counting on him? Don’t bother, nobody can save you today."
Wei Bao hoisted the woman over his shoulder and leaped onto the ferry.
The boatman approached Zhang Xiaoshan with an indifferent tone.
"Little Shan, don’t interfere too much. The custom of deceiving wives in White Dragon Village has been around for over a hundred years. Don’t think too much about it; this is just this woman’s fate. Let’s go."
Zhang Xiaoshan was also pulled onto the boat.
"Save me, doctor, I beg you, please save me..."
The woman was cast aside on the deck like trash, her gaze fixed desperately on Zhang Xiaoshan, her voice filled with piercing sorrow.
