n” What do you mean by that? I am a woman! Who cares whether or not I am a virgin or not?” Peng Jing’s eyes were spitting fire, she wished she could swallow Yu Dong whole but she could only hold her cheeks and eye Yu Dong angrily. ” As a woman, I have the right to sleep with anyone and as many times, why should I worry about being a virgin or not?”

n” Heh, you are not a virgin but you want a mer to keep yourself clean for you? Do you even hear how hypocritical you sound? If a woman can’t keep herself chaste then why does she expect a mer to be pure? And what if a mer is not pure? Just because you slept with another mer before marriage did you lose a hand or leg? If your worth remains the same…why should a mer who lost his virtue lower his head in front of you?” Yu Dong hated men like Peng Jing in her past life.

nShe still remembered how a woman was caught by a bunch of men and was forced because she separated from her husband. That woman suffered so many injuries and torment but she still held on for the sake of her husband, who then abandoned her because she was no longer a chaste woman and was touched by others. He was a coward who couldn’t go after the men who harmed his wife instead he looked at the woman in the eye and told her how he could no longer love her anymore as she was no longer pure and beautiful in his eyes.

nEven now she remembered the words that man spoke to that woman.

n‘ When I think of how your body was touched by other men… I feel my very soul getting disgusted by the very thought. I am sorry but I can’t even bring myself to hold you much less stay with you.’

nNow that the situation was like this, she couldn’t just lose control of the situation! She had to keep pretending that her tomatoes tasted the same!

n” Really? I don’t think that there is any way Peng Jing could grow tomatoes as good as these,” one of the villagers mumbled as she bit onto the small piece of tomato that was left in her hand and felt regretful that she did not have any more to eat.

n” You really won’t take that attitude down unless you see your coffin, will you?” Yu Dong remarked with a smirk before she turned to look at Ye Liu and the rest and said, ” Start cutting the tomatoes grown by Peng Jing! I want to see how good they taste!”

nPeng Jing’s eyes widened as she scrambled to her feet despite the pain and then said, ” You can’t! I mean…” When she noticed the villagers eyeing her suspiciously she stuttered and then stated, ” I mean I am going to sell those vegetables if you hand them to taste, what am I going to sell ?”

n” Why do I feel like she is just making excuses?” A mer asked his wife.

nHis wife looked at her curious yet naive husband and then said with a sigh, ” Because she is making excuses, her vegetables are not as good as Yu Dong which is why she is trying to make the most out of it.”

nThe woman was worried that Peng Jing might simply act stubbornly and refuse to let Yu Dong touch her vegetables.
