“Mmph…” Su Ling actively hugged the other person, shaking his head ever so slightly.
Gu Qingyuan instantly saw through the little thing’s thoughts, finding it both amusing and helpless in her heart. “In your current state, what could you possibly do to me? Don’t worry, I won’t do that kind of thing to you. Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t. But, do you want to try that 40-degree thing? You can move yourself.”
Hearing this, Su Ling’s face flushed red as he immediately shook his head. He didn’t want to try any 40-degree thing.
“You know? You look especially obedient right now, to the point where I almost can’t bear to bully you. But I want to make you even more obedient, more compliant, more submissive to me—to see me as your master from the bottom of your heart!”
Su Ling pursed his lips, finally turning his head away, trying to avoid this topic.
“Heh, I know you don’t want to right now. But I’ll make you want to. I’ll make you have eyes only for me in the future!”
Su Ling’s body suddenly shrank back, his eyes filled with terror. He didn’t want that. That version of him wouldn’t be him at all. He didn’t like her one bit. He hated her, resented her, wanted to escape her every moment. He absolutely, absolutely did not want to become what she was describing!
“Don’t be afraid. Go to sleep first. Sleep with me, and we’ll talk about everything else after you wake up.” Gu Qingyuan’s lips carried a meaningful smile as she gave the little thing a deep look.
She grabbed the little fellow’s head and directly forced him to bury his face in her chest. Lifting her right leg, she wrapped the little thing’s lower body into her embrace as well. Having the soft body in her arms made Gu Qingyuan feel that her own pain had lessened somewhat. Su Ling didn’t dare struggle, enduring it all with humiliation.
Soon, Su Ling felt the other person’s breathing become much steadier, as if she had already fallen asleep. He tried struggling a couple of times. Her strength was immense; even while asleep, her arms were like two clamps locked tightly around his body, leaving no possibility of breaking free. And he didn’t dare use too much force, afraid of waking her up.
Held like this, unable to do anything, Su Ling—who originally hadn’t wanted to sleep—could only close his eyes and slowly drift off. He didn’t know how long he slept, but in a daze, he felt his body being lifted by someone. He wanted to wake up but couldn’t open his eyes no matter what. Soon, though, all sensations disappeared, as if nothing had happened. The quiet environment made him sink into an even deeper sleep, unable to ponder these things in his dreams.
When Su Ling woke again, his head felt nothing but dizzy and groggy. He shook his head and looked around with bleary eyes, only to see pitch-black darkness. He couldn’t see anything!
Su Ling struggled to sit up in bed, but suddenly realized that his limbs seemed to be restrained! A strange binding sensation came from his wrists and ankles, and even from his waist! Why was this? What had happened?
A wave of panic welled up inexplicably in Su Ling’s heart. He kept struggling, trying to escape, but it was completely useless. All his efforts were in vain.

Suddenly, an odd sound echoed in the dark environment, and then bright light instantly illuminated the entire room. The sudden glare made Su Ling close his eyes instinctively. Only after his eyes had slightly adjusted to the light did he slowly open them again. The first thing that entered his sight was a large white lamp overhead, followed by the bare walls around him, and Gu Qingyuan walking toward him step by step.
Gu Qingyuan walked very slowly, wearing an overcoat with her hands in her pockets, strolling forward as if on a casual walk. The moment Su Ling saw her, tears immediately welled up in his eyes. He had so much to say, wanted to ask her why she was doing this, but he couldn’t make a single sound. This made him even more terrified, and his tears flowed even harder.
“Don’t cry. Be good. I’ll give you anesthetic soon. It won’t hurt much! This time, I’ll just cut off one of your legs and leave the other. If you disobey me again next time, I’ll cut off both legs.” Gu Qingyuan’s tone was as casual as if she were talking about what to eat for dinner.
Su Ling opened his mouth, his hands clawing aimlessly, as if trying to grab hold of her. His bright, large eyes were filled with panic and fear. Watching the little fellow’s flustered, anxious expression, Gu Qingyuan found it oddly amusing. This little thing only panicked when death was staring him in the face.
Her fingers gently traced the little fellow’s delicate skin, finally resting on his right leg. Cutting off the right leg would make the little thing appear even more fragile. And a fragile little thing would more easily accept kindness from others and become more dependent on the person they could rely on!
She didn’t just want the little thing to be afraid; what she wanted more was his dependence. As long as the little thing couldn’t manage daily life on his own, he would rely on her. Over time, naturally, he wouldn’t be able to leave her!
Thinking this way, she pulled over a cart, picked up the tools already prepared on it, and began getting ready! First, anesthesia. She wanted the little thing to watch his leg leave his body without feeling any pain!
Gu Qingyuan slowly untied the restraint straps on the little thing. The moment the straps came off, Su Ling tried to escape, but Gu Qingyuan, who had already anticipated this, immediately grabbed him, flipped him over, and pressed him firmly onto the bed!
Su Ling struggled desperately, but it was completely useless. He could only watch helplessly, feeling her take the iodine, disinfect the area near his spine on his back, and then jab a needle in hard!
His toes curled in pain, his mouth slightly open, his body trembling slightly. Then came another needle. Four needles in total before she stopped. After finishing the injections, Gu Qingyuan released the little thing. Watching him immediately panic and try to escape, she didn’t give chase. This was her underground secret chamber. The only exit was a password door. No one but her could open it!
Su Ling ran frantically around the room. Seeing the location of the door, he immediately dashed over, grabbed the handle with all his strength, and twisted it. Nothing happened! Refusing to believe it, he tried several more times, but still couldn’t open the door.
Seeing Gu Qingyuan walking toward him, Su Ling trembled all over with fear. He shook his head, his body collapsing helplessly to the floor.
Gu Qingyuan walked up to him, reached out a hand, and gently stroked his cat ear. “See? You ran around again. I’ll let it slide this time. If you disobey me like this again next time, I really will cut off both your legs!”
Su Ling looked at her, his body wanting to retreat, but he suddenly realized with horror that he couldn’t move. More precisely, his lower body couldn’t move! A stiff, numb sensation came from his lower half. Su Ling looked up at her, terror in his eyes.
“Don’t make such a big fuss. It’s just anesthetic. Come on, be good and lie down on the operating table.”
Gu Qingyuan picked Su Ling up in one swift motion, laid him flat on the operating table again, and tightened the restraint straps once more, meaning he had completely lost any chance of escape!
“Don’t worry, I won’t use a chopping knife directly. I’ll use a saw to cut it off bit by bit. This way, it’s gentler, and there won’t blood everywhere.”
Gu Qingyuan said this while applying iodine to Su Ling’s right ankle. And Su Ling could only watch all of this in terror, watching her pull out a steel saw and slowly place it against his leg!
“Please don’t!”
