"I won't eat! I, Annia, would rather starve to death than eat a single bite of your food!"
Annia turned her head away, saying stubbornly.
"Very good."
Wu Liang nodded.
"You're very stubborn, and I love to deal with stubborn people!"
"Since you won't eat by yourself, then I'll just... feed you personally."
"You... what do you want to do?"
Annia felt an ominous premonition rise in her heart.
Wu Liang did not answer her.
He turned and instructed the Female Warrior outside the door.
"Go, fetch the best hard liquor from my room, and prepare some dried meat."
Soon, the items were brought over.
Wu Liang held the liquor bottle in one hand and a piece of hard dried meat in the other, a benevolent smile on his face.
"Come, good girl, open your mouth!"
He pried open Annia's mouth and forcibly poured a mouthful of hard liquor into her first.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
The spicy alcohol choked Annia, making her cough violently, tears streaming down her face, which flushed crimson.
She had never drunk such strong liquor before; her throat felt like it was on fire.
Before she could catch her breath, Wu Liang shoved the incredibly hard piece of dried meat into her mouth.
"Mmm... mmm..."
Annia desperately tried to spit out the dried meat, but Wu Liang held her chin, making it impossible for her to move.
"Swallow it."
Wu Liang commanded.
Annia glared at him with angry eyes, stubbornly shaking her head.
The dried meat was so dry and hard that it was impossible to chew.
"Won't swallow?"
Wu Liang smiled.
"I have plenty of ways."
He picked up the liquor bottle again and poured another large mouthful of hard liquor into Annia's mouth.
Under the softening and flushing of the alcohol, the piece of dried meat was finally swallowed by her in a messy manner.
"Cough, cough... You... ahhh, woo woo woo... you barbarian, you devil..."
Annia lay on the ground, coughing and crying as she cursed.
She felt a burning sensation in her esophagus and stomach, extremely uncomfortable.
"How do you feel now? Do you think ordinary food is actually quite delicious?"
Wu Liang squatted down, watching her at his leisure.
Annia lifted her tear-filled eyes.
Seeing the hateful smile on the man's face before her, an unprecedented sense of humiliation and anger surged into her heart.
From childhood, she had been a princess, pampered by all; how could she have ever been treated like this?
"I'll fight you!"
Annia didn't know where she got the strength, but she suddenly leaped up from the ground.
Like a provoked lioness cub, she pounced at Wu Liang, baring her fangs and claws.
However, her resistance seemed so pale and powerless before Wu Liang.
Wu Liang easily subdued her, pressing her against the wall again.
His movements were forceful and rough, showing no pity for her delicate beauty.
The aftereffects of the hard liquor began to rise, Annia's head felt dizzy, and her body started to heat up.
She could feel the man's body behind her, like a volcano, emitting scorching heat.
"Let go... let go of me..."
Her resistance grew weaker and weaker, and her voice carried a sob and a hint of seduction that even she didn't detect.
"Begging for mercy now? Too late."
Wu Liang's breathing grew heavy.
This blonde kitten's stubbornness completely ignited his desire for conquest.
He wanted to completely melt this iceberg.
The door of the stone house was closed.
Outside the door, the Female Warrior on guard listened to the sounds coming from within, from fierce resistance and curses.
Later, the crying and begging gradually changed tone, finally turning into intermittent whimpers, making her blush and her heart pound.
The storm in the room gradually subsided until late at night.
Annia curled up on the soft animal skin, her body feeling as if it had fallen apart, without the strength to even move a finger.
Her magnificent noble long dress had long been torn to shreds, her brilliant golden hair lay disheveled, and her face was covered with traces of humiliated tears.
Her life was completely overturned today.
That barbarian leader had been vigorous all day in the most brutal way.
She felt like a broken doll, carelessly discarded in a corner.
Wu Liang leaned against the wall, contentedly lighting a homemade cigarette rolled from tobacco leaves, taking a deep puff.
That's right, Wu Liang had finally grown tobacco, though the taste wasn't great yet.
But lighting one afterwards was better than being an immortal.
He finally got to smoke.
Conquering this S-rank little princess was more stimulating than he had imagined.
Her stubbornness and resistance gave Wu Liang unprecedented satisfaction.
In his mind, the system's notification sound arrived late.
[Ding! Detected target 'Aniya Merlin's' will defense is on the verge of collapse, submission degree +50%!]
[Ding! Submission degree reached 60%! Target develops confusion and submissive psychology!]
Only 60%?
Wu Liang was a bit surprised.
He thought that after the tempestuous session just now, his Bloodline Linkage should have received feedback.
He didn't expect her willpower to be so strong; even though her body had completely surrendered, her heart remained stubborn?
"Damn, this is truly the first time I've encountered this."
Wu Liang couldn't help but curse.
It seems he still needed to put in more effort.
He extinguished his cigarette and continued the battle.
"Let go of me..."
Annia struggled weakly, her voice hoarse.
"Don't move."
Wu Liang rested his chin on her head, saying softly.
"You're too cold, I'll warm you up."
Annia was tired and sleepy, her consciousness beginning to blur.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, she was placed on the table next to them.
"No... spare me..."
Annia cried.
"Good girl, it will be over soon."
...The next morning, when Annia woke up again, she found herself lying in Wu Liang's arms.
The sunlight streamed through the window, a bit dazzling.
The crazy memories of last night made her cheeks flush.
She moved her body, a painful expression appearing on her face.
"Awake?"
Wu Liang's voice sounded.
Annia's body stiffened, subconsciously wanting to escape.
But as soon as she moved, a strong arm pressed her back down.
"Sleep a little longer."
Wu Liang held her tighter.
"Your body is still very weak."
His tone was gentle, completely different from the brutal devil of last night.

[Reward 4: New technology tree unlocked — 'magic technology tree' (Level 1)!]

Wu Liang was ecstatic!
An indescribably vast energy instantly surged into his body.
At this moment, Wu Liang felt as if he had become a vortex of energy.
The various free-floating, invisible elements in the surrounding air were cheering and rushing towards him, vying for first place.
The fervor of fire, the gentleness of water, the swiftness of wind, the heaviness of earth... he could clearly perceive them, and even resonate with them slightly.
This was the terrifying affinity brought by the "Heart of Elements LV40"!
And the skill "Source of Magic Power" made his total magic power and recovery speed reach an astonishing level.
If his magic power before was just a small puddle, now it had become a continuously flowing lake!
What excited him the most was the unlocking of the "magic technology tree"!
A pale blue technology tree interface, filled with mysterious runes, slowly unfolded in his consciousness.
