"Brother, chop off his legs."
Chang Kai Tong beckoned with a hook of his finger, and the cleaver flew diagonally, striking the iron rod.
Midway, it severed his legs.
As Liu Zhuang screamed, a thick vine instantly wrapped around his mouth.
Although Luo Luo was playing a game, her attention was entirely on An Nuan.
How dare this man speak such things to her Xiao Nuan! He was not to be tolerated!
The vine suddenly grew thicker, and with a forceful squeeze, Liu Zhuang's entire jaw was crushed.
Seeing this, Liu Ying immediately knelt.
"We were wrong, esteemed sir, spare us! We'll leave immediately, just consider us a fart and let us go, okay?"
"Damn it all to hell!"
Liu Zhuang still wanted to curse.
He had barely uttered a few words before the vine slowly tightened, contorting his flesh and bones.
He was in so much pain he couldn't speak, thrashing and pounding the ground, tears streaming down his face.
Unlike Liu Zhuang, Liu Ying was perceptive.
From the few moves just now, she clearly understood that the people in front of them were far more capable than them.
And not just a little bit stronger.
They were not on the same level at all!
Liu Ying disregarded her mother's fate, her own life was paramount!
She knelt on the ground, bowing and scraping.
"We are merely a few farts, we accidentally disturbed you, we'll leave now!"
"Farts only stink, but you can take lives."
An Nuan was not foolish.
This group was not benevolent, especially Liu Zhuang, whose gaze towards her now was more terrifying than a viper's.
He wished he could devour her alive.
If she let them leave, An Nuan was certain that before the sun rose tomorrow, they would return with reinforcements.
She would not do such a foolish thing.
"I am, at heart, a kind human."
"Yes, we are all compatriots. Many misunderstandings can be resolved by talking properly."
An Nuan coldly glanced at them, her eyes devoid of any warmth.
"Is your supposed method of resolution to sneakily aim a gun at me?"
Liu Feng froze, and a handgun instantly appeared in An Nuan's hand.
What she had absorbed could be destroyed in her spatial dimension, or stored and summoned at will.
However, the Starry Sky Devour space wasn't large, and it couldn't store food.
This ability was offensive, unlike a storage space.
An Nuan dismantled the handgun in a few quick moves and said with a smile, "I've changed my mind."
"Wh-what do you want to do?"
Liu Ying found her smile chilling.
That smile was more terrifying than a blizzard.
An Nuan suddenly leaped down, appearing before them with extreme speed.
She grabbed a steel pipe and, with simple, brutal force, swung it towards their foreheads.
She effortlessly dealt with a few people.
An Nuan directly jumped to the second floor.
She had optimized herself now, and jumping onto a small building about three meters high was quite easy.
Back on the balcony, An Nuan patted the snow off herself.
"It's getting late, let's go inside and sleep."
"Are we just going to leave them here? They're in the way, aren't they?"
Chang Kai Tong couldn't understand.
For people like them, silencing them was the only way to truly resolve the issue.
Leaving them for another day was a disaster!
Hai Changfeng rubbed his head.
"With this much snow, if they stay out here all night, will they even survive? Your Sister Nuan isn't unwilling to kill, she just doesn't want to kill them too easily and dirty her own hands. Leaving them to nature is the best outcome."
Liu Zhuang, who hadn't been knocked unconscious, heard this and thrashed wildly.
An Nuan looked at him coldly, "This snow will only get heavier. By the latter half of the night, you'll be buried in it."
"Wuwuwu..."
"Don't curse, I'm a kind person. I'm afraid you'll freeze to death in the extreme cold, so I've specially found you a place that's a bit warmer to sleep, though... only about two degrees warmer."
However, at minus thirty degrees Celsius, a degree or two wouldn't make much difference, would it?
Tomorrow morning, they would be frozen to death in the vast expanse of white snow.
An Nuan smiled, went inside, and locked the door. After activating the protective layer, she drew the curtains.
Hai Changfeng and Chang Kai Tong also entered the house.
By then, the cold air had settled in, and the room felt noticeably cooler.
Fortunately, An Nuan had prepared, stocking thick fur blankets and down jackets in the wardrobes of both rooms.
Each room had a small fireplace and air conditioning.
An Nuan didn't like overly dry air, so she didn't turn on the heating.
After she and Luo Luo made the beds, they turned on the fireplace.
Luo Luo crouched beside the simulated flames, waving her hand above them.
It wasn't hot, but she could feel the warmth.
The beds had also been converted into the style of traditional Northeast heated beds.
An Nuan added some fire underneath, and the bed quickly became warm, raising the temperature of the entire room.
She and Luo Luo each had a down duvet, making the beds cozy and warm.
They had considered adding another blanket on top, but the two cats leaped up from the floor.
An Nuan roughly ruffled Juanzi's head.
"You two are so big now, you can't fit on one bed! Why don't you two lovebirds separate, and one go to the boys' dorm?"
Juanzi rubbed against her face, licked its paws, and lay down at the foot of their bed.
Daizi was very sensible and trotted with light paws to the boys' dorm.
Perhaps due to the principle of opposites attracting, An Nuan felt Daizi seemed happy, as if it had a cat's smile.
An Nuan lay on the bed, wiggled her feet, and tried kneading on Juanzi.
It felt really comfortable! No wonder cats liked kneading!
She took a bag of prawn crackers from her spatial dimension, propped a pillow behind her back, and selected a variety show.
"Xiao Nuan, let's watch something else."
"Isn't this the talent show you love the most? All those handsome young men."
"I used to think they were good-looking, but now I feel like you never know what people are thinking. I always feel like behind those attractive faces are sinister hearts."
An Nuan laughed, "You've matured overnight!"
"That's right, under your brilliant guidance, my growth is visible!"
"Alright, no more handsome men and beautiful women, let's watch a horror movie."
An Nuan chose a zombie movie to project.
Luo Luo: "..."
She regretted speaking up. Was it too late to take it back?
The next day, everyone slept until they woke up naturally. When they got up, the outside world had turned into a vast expanse of white.
Last night, the wind howled, and the snowflakes had turned into a blizzard.
Hai Changfeng had taken a look when he got up for a night visit, and it had scared him half to death.
The wind was so fierce that anyone going out for a second would be swept away.
Now, although the wind had stopped and the snow had returned to its normal size, the first floor was already buried in snow.
In just one night, the accumulated snow had reached over three meters.
An Nuan, wearing her fleece pajamas, was cooking noodles in the kitchen while Chang Kai Tong helped out.
Hai Changfeng and Luo Luo, looking through the glass, observed the people from the previous night.
They had frozen into popsicles outside, while the others, knocked out by An Nuan, had quickly turned into popsicles.
Liu Feng had died while conscious, his face contorted as he pressed against the window.
Hai Changfeng: "Guess what he was thinking before he died."
Luo Luo: "He was probably thinking – why does the reflection in the glass make me look so ugly."
"Makes sense, he probably died of ugliness!"
