Chapter 15 This is a kind of humiliation - The boy's clothes were stripped off completely.
Inside the Xia Family Hall—
Xia Mo took a stick as thick as an arm and mysteriously beckoned Xia's father, Xia's mother, Xia's eldest brother, Xia's second brother, and Xia's third brother into the house.
Xia's father and the others never dampened Xia Mo's spirits. Seeing Xia Mo's behavior, they cooperated and showed curious expressions.
Xia Mo gestured to Xia Sange to close the door to the main room.
Xia Sange nodded.
Xia Mo handed the stick to Xia's father.
Xia's father looked completely bewildered.
"Dad, try to break it," Xia Mo urged with a giggle, her eyes sparkling.
Even though Xia's father knew he couldn't do it, he still did it. He used both hands together and exerted force for a long time until his forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat, but he still couldn't break it. So he slammed the stick down on his leg, trying to use the strength of his leg to break the stick, but instead, he hurt his leg and gritted his teeth.
"Dad, why are you using so much force? Sit down quickly, it must hurt a lot!" Xia Mo was startled and urged anxiously.
Feeling the concern from his daughter, Xia's father was very pleased and shook his head: "It's okay, it'll be fine in a bit."
"Mother, you should also check the stick carefully," Xia Mo said, she dared not let her family try to break it again.
Xia's mother took the stick without understanding why, and examined it without understanding why: "This is a solid, sturdy, thick stick."
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, you should take a look too," Xia Mo urged.
Brother Xia, Second Brother Xia, and Third Brother Xia also checked the stick.
Xia Mo took it, grabbed one end of the stick with both hands, and then snapped it in half.
The "click" sound that came from inside the main room was not loud, but it was deafening to Xia's father and the others!
Xia's father and the others stared wide-eyed, their mouths agape, in disbelief at the stick that had been snapped in two, their eyes glazed over.
Seeing the shocked looks from her family, Xia Mo, like a victorious cat, couldn't help but raise her head, revealing a leisurely and smug look.
Looking at Xia Mo, who was so charming and adorable, Xia's father and the others couldn't help but smile.
"Nannan has become more capable."
Mr. and Mrs. Xia had mixed feelings. Their daughter was growing up, and the joy and reluctance they felt were hard to describe.
"Mom and Dad, I can protect myself now," Xia Mo said with a giggle, showing off.
"Okay, okay," Brother Xia, Second Brother Xia, and Third Brother Xia enthusiastically cheered, but they still felt that their little sister, who was becoming stronger, still needed their protection.
As summer draws to a close, my heart feels warm and light.

Night falls—
In Anjia Village at night, no one is willing to light an oil lamp. The whole village is shrouded in darkness, so quiet that you can hear the rustling of the wind blowing through the weeds.
After confirming that her parents and family were asleep, Xia Mo quietly rolled out of bed.
Getting out of bed, putting on shoes, and getting dressed—the whole sequence of actions, though seemingly slow, only took a few breaths.
Xia Mo tied her hair up completely on top of her head and secured it with a hairband to ensure it wouldn't hinder her movements. Then she walked to the wardrobe, opened it, pulled out a drawer, and took out a handkerchief that Ma Yiyi had left with her.
Earlier, Xia Mo had asked for the knife that her older brother Xia liked, ostensibly for self-defense. Now, she had also brought the knife with her.
After half a month of practice, she can now run through the mountains and forests as easily as walking on flat ground.
With her divine sense clearing the way, even the dark forest could not obstruct Xia Mo's vision. Her figure disappeared into the forest, like a bird returning to its nest, leaping and bounding through the weeds at great speed, unaffected by the terrain of the weeds.
When she encountered a boulder, she simply leaped over it; when she encountered a small cliff about a meter high, she also jumped up in one go.
Without Xia Sange around, Xia Mo doesn't need to restrain his abilities.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Xia Mo's figure entered the deep mountains and forests, where the villagers had tied red cloths to the trees as a warning that once they crossed the line, they would be in the deep mountainous area where wild beasts roamed.
As we ventured deeper into the mountains, traces of animal activity increased.
As they ran, they could already see tracks left by wolves and other wild beasts.

Another quarter of an hour later—
Summer's end stopped in front of a 90-degree cliff that was three zhang high.
The cliff face was covered with vines, densely packed, with only a few smooth sections of rock exposed at the top.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with this little cliff.
Xia Mo accurately found the small cave behind the vine, which was difficult to spot with the naked eye.
Inside the pitch-black cave, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, Xia Mo was able to clearly see everything inside using her divine sense.
The boy huddled inside the cave had wrinkled, blood-stained clothes and a pale face. He had his eyes closed and appeared to be unconscious.
The servants of the Wei family in Anping County thought that it would take the "Third Young Master Wei" a month to arrive in Anping County, but little did they know that the "Third Young Master Wei" had arrived half a month ahead of schedule.
Xia Mo looked down at the unconscious boy and drew a sharp knife from his waist.
In fact, when "Young Master Wei" appeared in the deep mountain area near Anjia Village, she knew through her divine sense that "Young Master Wei" had arrived, and she deliberately brought Ma Yiyi's handkerchief with her.
"Two years ago, I pulled you out of the water, saving you from drowning. So now... it's reasonable for me to take your life, isn't it?"
The petite Xia Mo wore a cheerful smile, but her eyes, when she looked at the boy, were devoid of warmth, as if the person in front of her was already dead.
She got rid of "Young Master Wei the Third," so Ma Yiyi couldn't use the life-saving grace to marry "Young Master Wei the Third," thus solving the problem once and for all. It was truly a good idea.
If Xia's father and the others were to see the current yandere Xia Mo, the stark contrast would make Xia's father think that these are two different people.
Xia Mo tossed aside the handkerchief she had used to frame Ma Yiyi, raised the sharp knife in her hand, and just as it was about to fall, she suddenly stopped moving!
Her knife was aimed at the boy's heart; once it pierced his heart, he would die, if not die!
However, at the moment the knife fell, her divine sense detected the invisible, intangible "qi" surrounding the boy.
The "qi" is gradually decreasing.
Xia Mo frowned, lost in thought. She looked up at the night sky outside the small cave, tightened her grip on the wooden handle of the knife in her hand, and squeezed the handle so hard that it deformed.
Xia Mo sheathed the knife, now without its wooden handle, at his waist, looking down at the boy with disdain.
"Hehe," Xia Mo's eyes were cold as she chuckled softly, murmuring, "Letting you die would be too good for you."
Since I can't kill you directly, I'll just charge you some interest.
The mood at the end of summer is like the weather in June, or even more like the mood of a child, changing in an instant.
She chuckled happily as she squatted down, reached out, and ripped the boy's clothes off.
The force was so great that it wasn't a conventional stripping; it was a direct tearing by hand.
Inside the small cave, the sound of clothes being torn echoed continuously.
In just a few breaths, the boy's clothes were stripped off completely.
This is a humiliation. When the boy wakes up, he will surely be filled with shame and anger, and then he will find Ma Yiyi's handkerchief... hehe...
Xia Mo picked up the shredded clothes, withdrew her divine sense, and left with light steps.
