Chapter 46: Chapter 46

"I'm very sure that this pretty girl here isn't your first victim. There must be hundreds if not thousands. Why don't I give them justice that they deserve?" Lan asked the man with a smile. The fire at his crotch had gone out but no one needed to look down to tell that he was completely useless down there.

The man gritted his teeth, not wanting to scream. His eyes widened when the dagger elongated to a sword's length. It was then he finally realized that these girls were.t ordinary. This girl just shot fireballs at him without stress and not she wants to hack him to pieces?

"Old fart, stay where you are. If you move, I'll really hack you to pieces." Lan warned.

Li Hua shook her head again.

"Recall Boss' words Lan? Do not misbehave. The girl is safe, he's lost his precious part. He won't be able to do any harm." Li Hua said.

"You're right. I'll just cut off his right arm. I'm being merciful here." said Lan.

"Lan, if you get in trouble, I won't save you," said Li Hua.

"Li Hua, you baffle me. Aren't you a cultivator? What happened to the bravery?" said Lan.

"It seems you forgot where we come from. That girl we wrongly accused is from this place and her father sent us here. We're still under training and you've already started to misbehave?" Li Hua scolded.

"Really, then why did you follow me to this room?" Lan asked.

"I had to because I knew this girl was in danger." Li Hua replied. "Forget it. Just do whatever you wanna do to him. Girl, let's go."

Li Hua took the girl out of the room.

"You old bastard, if I don't hack you to pieces, then I'm not Lan," Lan said angrily.

"But... you promised"

"That was before. Not now. Take this!" Lan cut off the man's arms and one of his legs.

"Always recall that girls are not a means to satisfy your carnal needs. They are people who should be loved and respected." she spat on him before leaving.

The man gave a loud cry finally attracting the guards to the room. The culprit had escaped.

*********

"Li Hua, I'm sorry. I just..." Lan tried to apologise but Li Hua cut her short.

"Do whatever you wanna do. I won't stop you,"she said.

The girl they saved had been taken to her worried parents secretly and then they left the party.

"Li Hua, I don't understand. What went wrong?" Lan asked in confusion.

"You should just focus on your training." Li Hua said before walking away.

Suddenly, a strong hand put a gag around Lan's mouth and she passed out immediately.

The same thing also happened to Li Hua. She also passed out immediately and both of them were dragged into a jeep by the men and with a 'zoom', it sped away.

Not far off from them, a man who had been following them secretly picked up his phone.

"Boss, the two girls were taken away. Should we rescue them?" he asked.

"No need, I know that when they wake up the men will be sorry. I'm hanging up!" said the caller who's obviously Theresa's father.

"Yes boss," the man said and put his phone back into his pocket.

**************

Inside Marabelle's room back on earth which wasn't too large but consisting of furry dolls, a bed wardrobe and many other things I don't wanna mention, a portal appeared and threw Marabelle out.

She's no longer wearing her Hanfu but a short pink gown and slippers. The pink gown had pockets and so the cut off hair, ring, and chest was inside them.

She sighed and surveyed her room. It really felt good to be back home. Her poor parents must be very worried but she's got a mission to fulfill. She ran out of the room to the living room and saw that no one was there.

She sighed again and checked a bag hung on the wall by the dining section and found money that would be enough to take her to Clark's home tonight. With the money in hand, she scaled the window and then the little fence before getting to the road and stopping a taxi.

********

Williams residence.

Clark William was about to go out to the streets for a walk when a taxi stopped right in front of him.

"Are you crazy? What do you think this place is?" a guard yelled.

Marabelle got out of the taxi and paid the fare. She then ran over to Clark but was stopped by the guards.

"Sir, I have something to tell you," she said with urgency in her voice.

"Come tomorrow. I'm busy," Clark said.

"Sir, Theresa..."

"Enough! Get out!" the guard yelled.

"Sir, she's alive!" Marabelle yelled.

"You dreamt about her?" Clark asked.

"No, it's not a dream. She's alive. She sent me here. It's about aunt. She has something to give you. It's important sir," she explained.

"I know she's alive but I can't get to her," said Clark.

"I did. Here!" Marabelle took out the ring of the heir of the Williams family.

"Sir, she gave me this ring," she said.

Clark's eyes widened in surprise on seeing the ring.

"Follow me," Clark said and the guards parted ways for Marabelle.

She sighed and placed the ring back into her pockets and ran after Clark.

*********

Lan opened her eyes and saw that she was in a dark room that only one small lamp hung on the wall. Her hands were tied behind her back and her mouth sealed by tape.

Her legs were also tied. She also saw that she was sitting on a mat.

Looking to her left, she saw Li Hua in the same position as her and she was unconscious.

Lan merely shot a tiny fireball from her left ring finger unto the rope and it cut in two. She did the same to her the ropes on her legs and they fell off then she removed the tape used to cover her lips slowly and threw it to the floor.

She then did the same thing to the still unconscious Li Hua and then carried her on her back.

"It's time to escape!" she muttered.

She then started to walk towards the door with the help of the little light reflected from the lamp. Well, if the lamp never existed in the first place, she's still got her inner fire that could brighten the place and drive away the darkness to a certain degree.

Lan on getting to the door found that it was locked. She scoffed and shot a fireball with her left hand at the door and it fell down in crumbs.

"Silly mortals!" she muttered before leaving the room.

Lan on coming out of the room saw that they were actually in a hut but she didn't care. She also saw that they were in a deep forest. She couldn't even see the clouds due to the tall trees with broad branches and wide leaves.

The ground was also filled with several traps that would have made any ordinary person back out. Lan smiled and shot seven fireballs at the traps which caught fire and then began to walk out of the place avoiding the holes created by her fireballs where the traps once were.

She then sped off at an inhuman speed while still carrying Li Hua on her back.

********

Lan stopped speeding when she saw that she was only getting further into the forest. She put Li Hua down under a large tree and made her rest and then she surveyed the area but could see no way out.

"Where exactly is this place?" she wondered.

She looked at the still unconscious Li Hua and sighed.

"Sister, I am sorry. I'll listen to you from now on." she muttered and knelt beside Li Hua.

She touched Li Hua's forehead and neck and saw that her temperature was normal. This normal temperature would make the doctors on earth frantic as it was far above human temperature which is 37 degrees. If Li Hua's temperature were to be measured with a thermometer, it would break.

Fire cultivators' bodies are very hot inside but a normal person wouldn't feel it unless they have a fever or some other illness. If that cultivator goes to the water nation of Iceland, without proper clothing and insufficient cultivation level and spells he or she would freeze to death in merely 6 days.

Now that Li Hua is considered to be fine, Lan had no worries. She wasn't scared of the wild. At most she'll just ignite the whole forest except the are they were in and ta-dah! There would be a way out. But that would consume a lot of her energy so she'd rather not take such risk.

Lan began to ponder over last night's events and how they were kidnapped. Who actually kidnapped them and why? She heard the sound of a vehicle coming and saw hope.

She stood on the way and the vehicle or jeep stopped and four men dressed in casual clothing came out. They looked like gentlemen and had worried concern on their faces. Lan concluded that they must be good people.

"What ate you doing out here in this forest?" one of them with blonde hair asked.

He was the tallest of the four men.

"I... please save me and my sister. We were kidnapped. We managed to escape but since we don't know this place, we got lost.

"I'm so sorry about that. Where is your sister?" the shortest of the men who had red hair asked.

Lan pointed at Li Hua who is still unconscious and the man with red hair went over to carry her and placed her into the car in a sitting position.

"Get in." the second tallest of them who had brown hair, offered but Lan refused.

"Where will you guys sit?" she asked.

"Our jeep is very spacious. It can accommodate four people at the back." the red-haired man said.

Hearing this, Lan was delighted and entered the car.

Two of the men entered the car and sat at the back seat while the other two sat at the front, one at the driver's seat and the other at the front passenger seat.

They put on their seat belts and the blonde-haired man ignited the car engine and reverse. When he found a good place, he made a turn and zoomed off.

Lan sighed. She'd finally found good people. If only she knew that she was wrong. These people were the ones who kidnapped them earlier and they were actually taking them to another lair.

Lan for some unknown reason fell asleep and the four men smiled.

"We were paid well enough to keep them." said the red-haired man.

"They look so fresh. I bet they're virgins. I can sense their tightness without seeing their fruits." said the brown-haired guy.

"Women expert," the blonde-haired man said and they all laughed.

"Do you think that they can fit in two large cocks?" the last man who had dyed his hair to white and blue asked.

"Then, why are they, girls? Why do they have two holes?" the blonde-haired man replied, resulting in more laughter.

Li Hua opened her eyes weakly and saw this strange scene in front of her.

"What's going on? Who are you, people? Where are you taking us?" she asked weakly.

"Who are you guys?" Li Hua asked again.

"Wow! One of the flowers has started blooming. Really beautiful!" said the black-haired man.

"You... let us out. Release us this instant!" Li Hua warned.

"Should we say 'Yes, my queen'? In your dreams! I think that you should obediently shut your little mouth and rest because once we arrive, you won't have time to rest. What do you think?" the red-haired guy mocked, resulting in mirth from the others.

"I'm warning you guys. Put us down." Li Hua warned them again but they didn't take her seriously.

Li Hua decided to stop fighting with them and she held Lan's left hand and closed her eyes.

"Now, that a good kitten. We promise not to be hard on you guys. You two are fresh. Really fresh!" said the blonde-haired man.

"Richard, please ride faster. We can't let the hot food go cold." said the red-haired guy.

"Aye, Aye captain!" said the blonde-haired guy (whom I will now refer to as Richard Catts.) He's not from China but Turkey. (Hey this is not the real turkey. It's a fictional turkey).

*************

Silver street,

Beijing, China.

In a 2 bedroom apartment, Lan and Li Hua are currently laid on a king-size bed in a room that consists of a large window, two fancy chairs and a lamp placed on a table. Apart from these, the room could be considered almost barren.

Lan is still unconscious while Li Hua who had been gagged a few minutes before they arrived at Silver street, had begun to show signs of awakening.

*******

Last night at Theresa's father's home, Marabelle was taken to Theresa's father's meeting room and was offered drinks which she refused.

"I... you said you did see my daughter," Clark said.

"Yes," she also brought out Theresa's cut off hair from her pockets and showed it to Clark. Seeing it, he nodded his head.

"Now I have more proof that my baby is alive. She's alive! Tell me, is she doing well?" Clark asked, teary-eyed.

"She... she gave me a mission. It must be accomplished before tomorrow night and is related to Aunt. I must fulfill the task she gave me and I need your help greatly. Besides, it would be better if you partake in the task." said Marabelle.

Clark sighed and adjusted his spectacles.

"So... what is the mission?" Clark asked.

Marabelle was a bit stunned that he accepted what she said just like that. Though she was curious, she decided to finish the task first after all her best buddy was counting on her.

Tomorrow night is the auspicious time.

"She told me that... I should... or rather if possible, you should place this..." she brought out the golden chest from her pocket and gave it to Clark.

"You'll place this on Aunt's ice tomb. We'll need to go to India as soon as possible."

"What's in this chest?" Clark asked.

"Please, don't open it. She told me that you just need to place it on Aunt's tomb."

Clark nodded and picked up his phone.

"Caesy? Get my plane ready. Destination, India." Clark said to the receiver and put his phone back in his pocket.

"Marabelle, my dear, I'll do as you say. Gildo, prepare a beautiful dress for her. She needs to look good as it's her first time visiting my Aarti." Clark ordered his bodyguard who had dyed his hair pink.

"Yes sir!" the bodyguard nodded.

"Miss?"

Marabelle got up from her seat and followed the bodyguard to Theresa's bedroom where a female bodyguard chose a black dress for her and transformed her into a lady that princes would run after.

*****

Li Hua struggled to sit up on the bed and felt Lan's temperature through her neck and gave a sigh of relief.

"It's high time I deal with those good for nothings," she muttered and put her feet on the floor.

She tried to stand but she found out to her dismay, that she couldn't feel her legs at all. It was at this moment that the door opened and the four men came in only wearing shorts.

"One of the flowers has bloomed. Very good! Caesar, Nicholas, handle her." said the blonde-haired guy with a smirk.

Her eyes widened when all four of them took off their shorts. They weren't wearing anything underneath and now Li Hua could see their 'special glory'.

"You... despicable!"she spat.

On other days, she'd have turned away, but Lan is still unconscious. She needs to make sure that no harm comes to her or else, she'll never forgive herself.

"You didn't look away. That means that you're ready to take us inside you." said the black-haired guy.

"I think I'm ready but not in that way that you're thinking. I'm giving you four, two seconds to scram or else..."

"Two seconds already passed!" said the brown-haired guy in a mocking tone.

"You... fine. You forced me!" she wanted to gather fireball with her left hand that was behind her but Lan opened her eyes at that moment and coughed.

"Lan, are you okay?" Li Hua ditched the thought of gathering a fireball and the little flame dissipated.

"How caring. Don't worry, I'll also care for you two very well. You'll see and feel bliss." said the blonde-haired guy.

Lan sat up and looked at the four nude guys and smiled.

"So that's what men really hide in between their legs. It's so ugly. This black haired guy's thing is too hairy and even black. Why are you a white then? You're a disgrace to Chinese people." Lan spat.

"...."

There was silence and shock was written on everyone's faces.

"Lan? You..." Li Hua didn't know what to say.

"I'll never marry at all if my husband will have this thing. Disgusting! But I must say it's a bit interesting. Look at how that red head's thing jumped. Maybe, it's frightened. Li Hua, I'll tell the boss that I want to study this kind of thing. I'll get to dissect so many." Lan said with bright eyes like she'd seen something wonderful.

Li Hua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Was this the Lan she knew? Where did all the virtues she learned in the palace disappear to? Why must she add fuel to the fire?

"Lan... enough! Let's think of how to get out of here." Li Hua scolded telepathically but it seems Lan wasn't ready to listen.

"It's this thing they used in violating all those poor girls, right? I'll do something to say sorry to them." Lan declared with an evil smile.

The four men were very angry.

"You'll see how harsh our 'things' can be," the red-haired guy said angrily.

"Is it harsher... than... my..." Lan gathered a fireball with her right palm and continued: " Fireball? If I were to throw it at your things, would you be able to escape?" Lan asked casually.

The four of them were terrified seeing fire suddenly come out from her bare palms.

But the brown-haired guy seemed to gain courage from who knows where and said: "Stop using such tricks on us!"

"Oh! You think I'm using a trick. Have a taste of it then." Lan threw the fireball at them without looking.

The fireball hit the brown-haired guy's left arm and burnt it.

"AHHHHHH. IT HURTS. AHHH! SAVE ME!" he yelled making the other three even more terrified.

"So... who's the boss here now?" Lan asked with a smile that sent several chills down their spines.

"Please have mercy... we were wrong!"

"It wasn't intentional..."

"Have mercy!"

"Please don't hurt us. We'll do anything."

They cried but she did not heed their pleas and casually threw another fireball without looking and it went straight for Richard's hair which caught fire immediately.

"AHHH! My hair's on fire!" he yelled in fright.

"Have more of these," she shot 3 more fireballs at them but one of them dodged while the other two had their legs charred.

"Not bad! You do have some skills," Lan commented as she sized the red-haired guy who dodged her fireball.

The place where the fireball hit formed a big hole on the ground.

"Please have mercy. It was... Ariana who sent us. She..." the red-haired guy named Robert couldn't finish his words as Lan launched a fireball much bigger than the previous ones at him but to her surprise, he somehow managed to escape by a hair's breadth.

Lan and Li Hua were surprised.

"The first time might be a coincidence but it happened a second time. Li Hua, test him please." said Lan.

"Why will I do that? Let's just get outta here now." she wasn't ready to hurt anyone like Lan did.

"Your heart's too soft," complained Lan.

"Damn it! Now I know. You girls played us." shouted Robert.

"You've run outta tricks. It's so bad that we fell for their tricks." said Robert as he pointed fingers at them.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Lan asked him; staring at him like the biggest fool on Earth.

"Look!" Robert pointed at the other three and saw that Richard's hair wasn't really burnt. It only looked wet now.

And the other two looked like nothing happened to them.

"What's going on? Li Hua, I... didn't I... it did burn them." Lan stammered.

She was surprised at this turn of events.

"You two are dead meat," Richard said angrily and ran towards Lan.

"It seems that my kindness was for granted. Take this then." Li Hua said lazily and shot a fireball at Robert's privates.

This time the fire completely devoured his genitals until there was nothing left. It would seem as if he was naturally born a eunuch. Richard was very shocked. He did not even feel any pain. All he felt was a tingling sensation.

"How's that? Is that enough to prove we're not using any tricks? I went against my sister to remove your injuries and burns and even made your hair look nice but all I get in return are threats?" Li Hua asked.

"Li Hua did you... you actually made him a eunuch in such a clean way," Lan exclaimed with excitement. Her eyes were very bright.

The other three men, seeing that Richard had been made a eunuch which they didn't see coming, became very scared and even tried opened the door but found that the door handle was very hot to hold.

Staring back at the two ladies, they saw that they both were smiling in an eerie manner.

"Please!"

They all knelt down.

"Don't kill us, don't kill us please," they cried.

"We won't kill you. Take a look at your friend. He doesn't feel any pain. If Li Hua and I were ordinary girls, I'm sure that by now, our purity would have been taken. Those things of yours are really not needed if all they can do is, ruin innocent girls' lives. I'm doing a good deed for all mankind. You should be grateful that I'll let you guys live." Lan spat and then shot two fireballs at the brown-haired and the black-haired men's privates.

They both gasped and wanted to dodge but couldn't. They ended up in the same state as Richard. The only difference was that the men felt indescribable pain.

They wanted to scream but no sound came out of their mouth. Only the red-haired man was still unscathed.

"Please, don't hurt me." he begged even though the situation was dire.

His sweat fell down like water. His body trembled.

"You can be set free if you can pass our tests. You see, I really like you. You dodged two of my fireballs which are no easy feat. Come with us and if you're worthy, we'll consider sparing your jewel." Lan proposed.

Robert quickly agreed without a thought. His three friends looked at him with hatred, jealousy, and sadness. Robert looked at them and got up on his own from the ground.

"I'm sorry!" he whispered regretfully and walked towards Lan who threw the bed's blanket towards him.

"Cover your body. I'm tired of seeing such a disgusting thing. It also wouldn't look good if we dragged you about naked. The police won't even let us have a breather." Lan explained.

Robert didn't know what to say. He obediently wrapped himself with the blanket and Li Hua formed a fire chain around his waist. Both got off the bed since their bodies were now fine.

"Let's go," Lan said as she took a step forward.

She glanced at the three men and smiled.

"No worries! I'm not that evil," said Lan.

********

Delhi, India.

Aarti's maiden home.

Clark and Marabelle stepped down from the airplane. The late Aarti's parents came to welcome them but Clark was cold to them making them wonder why.

They followed Clark and Marabelle to the room where her ice casket was laid. Marabelle saw that Aarti who was dressed as a bride on the day of her burial was still beautiful.

She hadn't rotted. The room smelled of coconuts making her wish even more that Aarti wake up.

Aarti liked coconuts a lot and that's why Clark ordered that a coconut fragrance be put in the room.

"Son... are you alright? You are cold to us today." Aarti's dad asked worriedly.

"I'm sorry! We have a mission." said Clark.

Both Aarti's parents sized Marabelle up man times and she began to feel uncomfortable.

"You want to marry her?" Aarti's mother asked.

"You..." Clark wanted to facepalm.

What ears of hers heard that he wanted to remarry? Also, he loved Aarti too much to even lay his eyes on another lady. Clark brought out the chest from his pocket and placed it on the casket.

"Little one, I've done what you asked. So what's next?" Clark asked.

"Err... what's next... she didn't exactly tell me the next thing. I..." she was cut off by the blinding light from the chest that opened by itself.

They couldn't see what really was inside the chest due to the light. The whole casket was covered with such light and then a portal opened sucking Marabelle and Clark in and then the casket with the chest still atop its lid.

After the portal closed, Aarti's parents looked at the spots where the casket, Clark and Marabelle once were and then moped at each other.

"What just happened? Did I see things wrong?" Aarti's dad asked after taking off his glasses.

"They were here just now. And the casket... my gosh! What's going on?" Aarti's mother asked in fear.

"We aren't dreaming are we?" she asked again.

Her husband walked to her and pinched her.

"Owww!"

"You aren't dreaming my dear," her husband said.

"Let's check the cameras and we'll see what happened," her husband suggested.

"Yes! Let's do that!" Aarti's mom agreed and both left the room in haste.
