Worried that she might be frightened or start resisting again, Ding Hongguang alternated a beating with a reward.
"Still, you don't need to be afraid. As long as you don't resist or harbor any thoughts of rebelling against The King, and obey him, nothing will happen to you."
Jiang Keyun shoved him away fiercely. "Don't even think about it!"
"I'd rather die than live like a mindless puppet, and I'll never betray humanity!"
Ding Hongguang wasn't angry in the slightest. Instead, he coaxed her patiently, "Keyun, don't make a decision so quickly. Think carefully about the consequences first."
"If you refuse to obey, you'll become an outlet for those high-level Mutated Humans, a machine for them to reproduce with. Your family will suffer alongside you. That isn't the outcome you want, is it?"
Ding Hongguang had managed to seize Jiang Keyun's weak spot. Her face instantly turned ashen and ugly.
"Think it over carefully. Is it better to stay with just me, or let them treat you like a prostitute?"
Looking at her still-pretty, still-charming face after so many days of torment, Ding Hongguang's heart began to stir, and he pulled her tightly into his arms.
"Keyun, I like you so much. How could I bear to let those Mutated Humans touch you? Just stay with me. I won't mistreat you. I'll definitely treat you well."
Jiang Keyun's heart jolted, and she immediately struggled. "Get lost! You bastard, get away from me!"
"Keyun, I miss you. It's been so many days since I've seen you. I miss you so much. Just give yourself to me!"
If her body had been in good condition, then although Jiang Keyun was only an eighth-level Botany Ability User, her Botany Ability carried all kinds of toxins, so she could still have fought Ding Hongguang.
