Chapter 20: The Bone Was Dug Out
Fang Yuan fanned himself lazily, studying Bai Weiwei.
"This woman had her bone dug out, and she's still got a spine like that."
"I was going to make use of that bone of hers, but the results were disappointing. Ended up tossing it to the dogs."
He stood up.

"Let's not waste any more time here. Since everyone's present, let's get to the point."
Bai Si rubbed his hands together eagerly.

"Quite right, Young Master Fang. We wouldn't dream of wasting your time. As for the dissolution of the engagement — we have absolutely no objections. After all, you've given us a Nascent Soul Pill. Something that valuable is an enormous boon to the Bai Family."
Fang Yuan glanced at Bai Si, then at Bai Weiwei.
"And what does Miss Bai think?"
Bai Weiwei was inwardly annoyed.

An engagement — set on a whim, broken on a whim.
She had zero say in any of it.
But she didn't like Fang Yuan, didn't want to marry anyone, and keeping a dead engagement around only made her skin crawl.
Breaking it off was better.

"I have no objections."
Fang Yuan nodded.

"Very well. Since the matter is settled, I'll take my leave."
But Bai Si spoke up.
"Young Master Fang, please stay! You've come all this way — why not rest here for the night? My granddaughter has long admired Young Master Fang. Allow her to attend to you tonight. If you find her satisfactory, perhaps you could take her on as a personal handmaiden."
Fang Yuan waved a hand dismissively.
"I've seen your granddaughter. Frankly, she's not as pretty as the maid standing next to Bai Weiwei."
He pointed directly at Chen Ling.

Chen Ling raised an eyebrow.
She thought: "Hang on — I just came to watch the show. This guy isn't eyeing me, is he?"
The moment the words left Fang Yuan's mouth, Bai Weiwei stepped behind Chen Ling, shielding her.
"Young Master Fang. You strike me as a man of elegance and refinement. Surely you wouldn't stoop to forcing yourself on a woman."
She clenched her fists, glaring at Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan smiled lightly.

"I was merely making a comparison. I'm not interested enough to bother."
Chen Ling's figure had caught his eye, admittedly. But she was just a maidservant.

No challenge whatsoever.
Besides, he'd had his way with plenty of women with better bodies and prettier faces.
She wasn't worth the effort.
Hearing that, both Chen Ling and Bai Weiwei relaxed.

If Fang Yuan had decided to take Chen Ling by force, there'd have been nothing they could do.
His strength was at least Foundation Establishment.
Neither of them stood a chance.
And asking the elders for help? Laughable. They practically groveled at Fang Yuan's feet — they'd never lift a finger.

Fang Yuan left.
The fawning expression Bai Si had worn vanished instantly.

"Bai Weiwei, you worthless cripple! Showing such insolence to your elders, making Young Master Fang wait, provoking his displeasure — take yourself to the Punishment Hall and accept your lashes!"
Bai Weiwei didn't even look at him.
She tossed out two words — "Fucking idiot" — and walked out with Chen Ling.
Bai Si's fists shook.
"That goddamn little bitch. She's already a crippled waste and she still dares look down on me."
His first impulse was to grab a whip and flog her right then and there.

But then he paused. "Forget it. That kid Yun Feng got pushed around pretty hard by Bai Weiwei back in the day. And the boy has that... sick obsession with her."
"Before, he didn't dare make a move because of the engagement with Fang Yuan — scared of being accused of cuckolding a man with that kind of power."
"But now that's no longer an issue. One more month and Yun Feng comes back from the Windcloud Sect. When he finds out the engagement's been broken... I can only imagine how delighted the boy will be."
A thin smile crept across Bai Si's lips.
Then his thoughts drifted to Chen Ling.
He licked his lips.

"Actually... that girl Chen Ling. When the month is up, I think I'll take her for myself after all. Handing her off to that pockmark-faced wretch — what a waste. Just the thought makes my stomach turn."

On the way back, Bai Weiwei clenched her fists.
"Damn it. Still not strong enough — still have to swallow my anger. Three days have already passed since the simulation ended, and there's still been no sign of another chance. How long do I have to wait? Or will the owner of that treasure never invite me again?"
She shook her head. "A few more days. If nothing happens, I'll take Ling'er and leave. This estate has far too many beasts prowling around."

Bai Weiwei bought a bottle of corpse-dissolving solution and dealt with Hongye's remains.
Over the following days, people came asking about Hongye's whereabouts.
Chen Ling and Bai Weiwei both claimed to know nothing.
Given how low-profile the pair had always been in the estate, no one suspected them of killing Hongye.

Before they knew it, the day arrived for the Simulator to update.
【Simulator updated. Chen Ling simulation charges: 1. Bai Weiwei simulation charges: 1.】

【Since a successful simulation has been recorded, charges may now be banked for later use. Current maximum bank: 3.】
Chen Ling's eyes lit up.
"Wasting charges would be a shame. Being able to save them is a nice perk."
She decided to bank her own charge. Now that she had a workhorse, there was no need to do the hard labor herself.
"System, bank my charge. Use Bai Weiwei's charge to start a simulation."
【Understood, Host.】

At that moment, Bai Weiwei was sprawled across her bed with nothing to do.
Then the system's voice rang in her mind.
【Would you like to begin a simulation?】
Bai Weiwei bolted upright.
"Finally."
A wave of relief washed over her.

"If this treasure really had been a one-time thing, I honestly had no idea what I would've done."
"It's been seven days since the last simulation ended. Does this mean I only get a chance every seven days?"

"Or is it just the treasure's owner deciding when to give me a turn?"
She shook her head.
"Doesn't matter right now. As long as I can simulate, that's all I need. This time, I have to survive longer. Push my cultivation higher."
"Ideally, I'd reach Core Formation before it ends. That way, as long as Bai Changming doesn't show up, I won't have to fear Bai Si or anyone else."

She exhaled slowly.
"Begin simulation."
【Understood.】
【You now have two options to choose from.】

【Option One: Continue from the previous simulation. Characters and setting unchanged.】
【Option Two: Begin a new simulation from scratch.】

Bai Weiwei rubbed her chin and asked, "Is it still five years for a reward?"
【Yes.】
"In that case, I already have experience from last time. Surviving five years shouldn't be a problem — that guarantees me at least a baseline reward of cultivation and talent."
