Chapter 585: Chapter 577: Her Bones Are Too Hard Chapter 585: Chapter 577: Her Bones Are Too Hard Tang Yuxin stared blankly at Tong Feng.
Her eyes were transparent yet too sharp, causing Tong Feng to cough involuntarily, and somehow felt his face burning.
“Tang Yuxin, what’s your answer?”
Tong Feng asked her again.
His voice lacked the original calmness, as if he’s reached the edge of his patience.
It was similar to a man who’d been starving for a long time, suddenly seeing a feast in front of him.
Clearly, all he needed to do was reach out to grab and eat it, satisfying his hunger once and for all.
But strangely, he couldn’t get to it.
He waited day after day, yet the food remained in its place, and he was still unable to eat.
It was impossible for him not to be anxious because he’d been hungry for far too long.
“If I disagree, will you let me go?”
Tang Yuxin asked Tong Feng, though she already knew such chances were slim.
As expected, Tong Feng’s face changed slightly.
“I don’t want to hear that.

I just want to know your answer.
I’d exchange all of our Tong family’s medical skills for your Acupuncture Method.
This deal wouldn’t be disadvantageous for you.”
“I don’t need your Tong family’s medical skills,” Tang Yuxin didn’t bother to be tactful with Tong Feng as they were both beyond the point of pleasantries.
“I just want to go home.
I’m not accustomed to staying in other people’s houses.”
Tong Feng’s face turned several shades, from white to green, then from green to red, and finally to a metallic blue.
The rapid changes of expressions was nothing short of a spectacle.
Did the old Master Tong not understand yet?
Tang Yuxin stood up and packed her bag.
“I want to go home.
The Rejuvenation Acupuncture Technique, I will not teach it to any of you.”
Her words were clear and unambiguous, she made no concessions or compromises.
She did not need the Tong family’s medical skills, so she would not relinquish her methods to them.
But in response to her, there was only the loud sound of a door slamming shut.
As expected, Tang Yuxin smirked.
They were not going to let her leave.
She clearly understood that from the moment she stepped into the Tong family household, she had been caught in their trap.
It wouldn’t be easy to leave now.
To her, the Tong family was now a massive cage, and to the Tong family, she was like the meat on a chopping board that could be sliced or diced at their will.
The problematic part was, she had requested half a month’s leave from Dean Zhu, and she hadn’t informed anybody about where she was going.
Even if she were to disappear, it would be at least half a month before anyone would notice.
And half a month, who knew what condition she would be in by then?
That night, she had neither food nor water.
All she had was her bag, and she huddled in the corner of the wall, eating the little bread left in her bag when hungry and drinking a little water when thirsty.
She hadn’t considered this earlier, resulting in her finishing all the bread a few days ago, leaving only one slice behind, and there was only a bit of water left.
This was scarier and more difficult than the car accident she experienced with Gu Ning.
It felt like years.
She didn’t know how long the Tong family intended to keep her locked up, but she knew she had a tough battle ahead.
If she didn’t reveal the Rejuvenation Acupuncture Technique, the Tong family would not let her go.
Given the Tong family’s current desperate craving for the Rejuvenation Acupuncture Technique, they would possibly not stop until she was dead.
But Tang Yuxin was still Tang Yuxin; in her previous life, she endured everything silently and compromised on all matters.
This led to a life of repression and caused suffering for those who genuinely cared for her and loved her.
This time around, no matter what, she refused to compromise or show weakness.
She opened her bag, and suddenly, her nose tingled.
The bag contained only a few pieces of clothing.
She took out the clothes and wore them, now the only useful items she had left were these pieces of clothing, she had consumed all her food, and even her water was depleting.

She clutched the empty bag and huddled in the corner, keeping her eyes open and waiting for daybreak.
She was not sure how much time had passed, an hour, two hours, a day, or two.
She licked her dry and cracked lips, and it tasted salty and sweet.
She even had the impulse to bite open her veins to drink her blood.
She was very thirsty, and she was unaware of how many days had passed without eating or drinking.
She was unsure if she could continue any further, and the only thing keeping her awake was her consciousness.
The door squeaked open, and the sudden bright light stabbed into her eyes in the darkness almost blinding her.
“So, how does it feel?”
Tong Shu walked in, the epitome of a privileged daughter, elegantly dressed, beautiful features, and a naturally refined temperament.
As a pampered little princess who had never suffered hardships, how could she possibly know the pain of starvation and thirst?
How could she tolerate being caged in a corner like a dog, forced to eat, drink, and excrete in such a small place?
“I advise you to confess.”
In Tong Shu’s eyes, her grandfather had done nothing wrong.
Of course, her intentions were also selfish.
As her grandfather had said, by possessing the Rejuvenation Acupuncture Technique, any future complicated diseases could be easily treated.
That would be like holding a miracle cure in their hands, and she would be foolish not to desire it.
So what if the means were dishonorable?
Who in this world hasn’t done a few questionable actions?
Anyway, once they obtained the Rejuvenation Acupuncture Technique, it wouldn’t matter if it was from the Chen family or the Li family, in the future, it would belong to the Tong family, and to her, Tong Shu.
Tang Yuxin closed her eyes and didn’t speak.
She was unwilling to interact with such shameless individuals.
“Tang Yuxin.”
Tong Shu’s originally beautiful face twisted grotesquely.
“Don’t pretend to be dead.”
She reached out and grabbed a handful of Tang Yuxin’s hair.
Tang Yuxin opened her eyes and suddenly smiled at her.
Her gaunt face, soulless eyes, and lips cracked open in several places giving an eerie appearance.
Didn’t she look like a monster from some place?
Tong Shu was, after all, just a young woman who hadn’t experienced much.
She wasn’t Tong Feng, the old sly fox.
Right now, she wasn’t even a fox spirit.
