Chapter 1686 - 613: The Reverse Female Lead (Part 2)

Hungry!

The intense burning pain in her stomach, with waves of rumbling echoing from within!

He Tiantian had never felt such hunger before.

Her mouth was deathly dry, her throat felt as if someone had poured sand into it, both parched and rough.

Ravaged by hunger and thirst, the most primal of human desires tormented He Tiantian mercilessly.

Even with her strong will and hardened psyche, she couldn’t help but show a moment of weakness, wanting to surrender to her most instinctual needs!

"Do you want to eat? I’ve had the Prince Mansion’s chefs prepare over a dozen exquisite dishes. As long as you obey my words, I’ll have them bring the food right over!"

Just as He Tiantian was so famished that she felt dizzy, wishing she could bite her own hand, she heard a man’s voice near her ear.

My Lord?

Prince Mansion?!

He Tiantian truly was a knowledgeable and strong-minded writer.

Even while this time-traveling body was suffering from dehydration and starvation, she was still able to spare a bit of her mind to analyze and contemplate.

...Have I time-traveled into a historical romance channel?

The person threatening me is a Prince?!

These speculations flashed quickly through He Tiantian’s mind, but before she could think deeply, her stomach let out another series of gurgling, growling moans.

So hungry!

Really, so hungry!

In the past, He Tiantian had suffered neglect from her aunt and foster mother, but it amounted only to emotional neglect.

She was basically able to eat enough and was clothed warmly, maintaining a minimal standard of living.

As a writer, traversing through various novel worlds, He Tiantian had experienced fleeing from famine, even falling to the lowest rung of society.

Yet, she was still able to fill her stomach.

This time, it was absolutely the first in He Tiantian’s life that she felt the agony of hunger!

It was excruciating, and her rationality was nearly obliterated by this basic, most primal need.

"Lady He, this is not difficult for you. Is it not how you have always been?"

"Oh, perhaps you were unconscious before, but now it targets someone specifically!"

"But, the essence is the same, it’s all about harming others to strengthen yourself."

"... Lady He, my patience is limited. If you can’t bring sufficient benefit to me, I cannot tolerate a country girl like you!"

The man continued talking at length.

He seemed urgent, punishing He Tiantian with hunger and even started verbally threatening her.

This, is the climax of danger starting to reveal itself?!

He Tiantian, unable to bear her hunger, didn’t want to yield to instinct and deliberately shifted her focus to think about these things.

She curled her body up, lying on the ground, without responding to the man’s words.

The man frowned slightly, muttering to himself, "Could she have fainted from hunger? It’s only been seven days without food, how could she—"

He Tiantian: ...Dammit! No wonder I am so hungry, I haven’t eaten for seven days!

Seven days, bearing not only physical pain but also psychological terror and worry.

The body He Tiantian traveled into seemed very young, likely not over twenty years old.

For such a young girl, this kind of torment could absolutely cause her to break down!

The man leaned closer to He Tiantian, bending down, and extended his finger to check He Tiantian’s breathing.

The warm breath allowed the man to momentarily relax: "Good! Still alive!"

As for whether the woman had truly fainted, or was pretending, the man had a way to test.

Without a thought, he shouted to the outside: "Someone, bring in some food!"

"Yes!"

The maid outside responded quickly and hurried away.

Upon hearing the words "food," even though He Tiantian tried her best to endure, she couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

So hungry, really so hungry.

Having just traveled here, she was clueless about everything.

Moreover, the man beside her was exuding a thick aura of malice!

He Tiantian, originally sensitive in her six senses, discovered after time-traveling that this body seemed peculiar in some way.

It made her seem even more sensitive.

If He Tiantian were not so cautious, she could have quietly operated a Cultivation Technique to use Spiritual Energy to alleviate the unbearable hunger.

But, she didn’t dare act hastily, she must clarify certain issues before she—

Just going to stay hungry for now, thinking of those extreme dieters, "fasting" for a month and still surviving.

It’s only been seven days for her, and she hasn’t reached the limit yet!

Thinking this, He Tiantian temporarily suppressed the body’s yearning for food.

However, her earlier swallowing action, and her slightly irregular breathing, were noticed by the man!
