Capítulo 9

Xiao Chan said, "Since Master said so, you guys go ask those people." His flat face was expressionless as he chuckled self-deprecatingly, "You guys are all pretty good, it's just that I grabbed the wrong person. If I had grabbed someone else, it would all be over by now. Damn it!" He paused, then continued, "One-Eyed, don't make things difficult for that little girl, that's fucking boring!"

II. The Smiling Heart

"Among you, there is one who very much wants to join us. Who is he? What kind of person is he?"

In the darkness, the leader's voice was calm.

Huang Zilan fell silent—Wu Xiaohui was right after all. But why would Chen Xing do this? Wasn't he thinking about the future? After a long silence, she finally said, "Right now, there's no question of seeking refuge. It's all about survival. You've taken our food and water; what are you going to do? We're all human, all worried and suffering for our survival. What are you going to do?"

---Magpie Bridge Fairy

Reply [27]: "If it weren't for you, you would know the answer yourself." The eldest brother's calm tone made it impossible for anyone to tell that he was doing a favor. "With you here, we can all live together when we can, and we can all take care of each other when we can't. Since you insist on thinking about these people, I can promise you that I will return two-thirds of the food. However, you must stay by my side."

"Why?"

"They're hostages. This will make them hesitant and prevent them from plotting against us. It's also to protect you, so we can report back to our superiors in the future."

To avoid implicating the whole family. Do you have any objections? If not, then don't speak so casually in the future.

Huang Zilan remained silent. She knew perfectly well the implications of this choice. After a long silence, she said, "You...you've pushed me into the abyss. If I can't get out, they'll hate me. Even if I do get out, I won't receive their gratitude. Furthermore, I'm very likely to be implicated because of your actions, imprisoned, or even executed. —Why did you do this?"

"You must understand, this is the price." The leader said calmly. "Whether you agree or not is up to you. If we're talking about the rules of the underworld, you shouldn't take on so much responsibility, you shouldn't step forward to help these people. If we're talking about justice and conscience, you should sacrifice yourself. Now, you insist on taking on the whole situation, what can I do? Since we're all human beings, we must know that everyone has principles. When it's time to think of ourselves, we can't just foolishly sacrifice ourselves. I am their mentor, and also their elder brother."

If I were to compromise out of fear of anyone, how could I maintain my standing within this sect in the future? —In the underworld, the Gentleman's Sect was once powerful. Now, the Dragon Sect rules the underworld, the "Fang Zheng Rong" of "Fang Zheng and Yuan Rong" (meaning "Upright and Harmonious"), but in terms of contribution, the greatest is "Yuan" (meaning "Harmonious"), the sect leader. Therefore, this sect will surely rise again. Logically and circumstantly, I will not fear your husband or any apparent power. However, in matters of "emotion and righteousness," I cannot disobey our long-standing agreement. This is why I am keeping you here. You can consider it, and you can choose.”

---Magpie Bridge Fairy

Reply [28]: "I don't understand things in the underworld." Huang Zilan said: "But I don't need to think about it. There's no need to think about it. People change all the time. Whoever is clear-headed and righteous will always be right. I will know in the future. Since I married such a person, I will be implicated sooner or later without a doubt. As long as I have a clear conscience, that's enough. Okay. I'll stay. When do you want me?"

"Want? -- You're wrong. I don't need them. What I need are them." The leader said calmly, "- And I won't forbid them from doing anything, except -- murder." He stretched out his palms, two points of light slowly appearing in his palms. He looked at the light in his palms and sighed deeply: "Humans, living people, are the things you should never approach. They are the most cruel and vicious animals in the world. And you, you insist on protecting them, protecting these animals..." "I really don't understand -- what are you anyway?"

Footsteps sounded again, and Wei Yiyi suddenly spoke. She spoke softly, "...Don't hit me, and don't tear my clothes. I won't resist. I'll take them off myself. Just please let me go back, and don't tell anyone. I don't want anyone to know..." Er Gou was stunned.

He had met girls like this before, but they usually begged not to tell anyone afterward. This was the first time he had encountered someone who only cared about saving face, not about the substance, and was submissive to others.

“This isn’t my fault,” he thought, then said, “Very well, you can have a sip of ‘water’ as a reward.”

The fluorescent light shone, and beneath its emerald glow, a body gleamed white—a breathtaking sight, a combination that would stir even the most virtuous man's criminal thoughts. Her slightly dim eyes and haggard face couldn't conceal her former beauty; her looks and figure were undoubtedly top-tier. Seeing this woman, Huang Zilan's allure was like seeing a five-year-old child.

Er Gou was extremely excited. "Come with me!" he blurted out. He handed over the water bottle, but then hesitated, adding, "Of course, you can go back. If you come with me, I guarantee you'll have enough water and food to survive, and you'll even make it out alive. As for going with them... you can think about it yourself."

Wei Yiyi took the water bottle and greedily drank a few mouthfuls. Before she could drink more, Er Gou snatched it away. "Give it to me..." Wei Yiyi said, her voice trembling as she looked at the water bottle.

"Give it to you? — I've given you what you need, but what about what I need?"

Er Gou grinned lewdly and tightened the lid of the kettle.

Wei Yiyi turned her back and took off her last piece of underwear.

—That person is back!

An Yingying crouched on the ground, terrified. She tried to shrink back, but there was nowhere left to retreat. Suddenly, she froze—the person's hand glowed green, and in the other hand, there were two thin slices of sausage! The person crouched down in front of her, extending their long, slender, straight hand. The faint aroma of sausage wafted over irresistibly. The person slammed the green plate against the earthen wall, then lifted her face, looking directly at her.

“I know you're cold, hungry, and thirsty. You're beautiful and gentle, and you deserve to be protected like a star. I will protect you. Smile. Why be unhappy over such a small thing? Our lives are precious; you've given so little, yet received so much. Once you understand this, you should be more compliant—shouldn't you?”

—His gaze wasn't fierce. His voice wasn't fierce. His expression wasn't fierce either… (What he said seemed to make some sense… those sausages…) “You… let me go…” An Yingying said in a trembling voice, but her eyes were still involuntarily fixed on the two slices of sausage. “Let me go… I won’t eat… um…” One hand had already grabbed the two slices of sausage, swallowed them in a few bites, and she was still saying, “I won’t eat… and I don’t want to be…” Xiao Dao’s voice became even softer.

---Magpie Bridge Fairy

Reply [29]: "But you've already eaten a piece of candy and two slices of ham. What will you use to exchange for it? When I gave you what you needed most, you didn't refuse. So how can you be so ungrateful? You are a beautiful and charming girl. You don't want to have a few disgusting scars on your beautiful face, do you?"

His hand began to slide downwards.

"No, no... let me go, let me go..." An Yingying clutched her chest in terror. "I'll give you money, lots of money. Do you want to be an official? I'll arrange it for you. Do you want to go abroad? I'll get you a credit card... no... don't..." "Yes, I don't want anything, I just want you." Xiao Dao pulled out a sharp knife and easily pried open the arms protecting her. He easily reached inside... "No... no... I have a husband... I can't..." "Yes, having a husband makes it even less of a problem." Xiao Dao smiled. He watched the trembling An Yingying like a cat playing with a mouse. "Why aren't you smiling?" He suddenly shouted sharply: "—Smile!"

An Yingying trembled, tears streaming down her face, but she forced a smile through her tear-filled eyes.

The one-eyed man strode back angrily. He saw the woman, stuck on the ground and unable to move, glaring with furious eyes. He laughed. He pulled the piece of clothing out of her mouth. "Little girl, your eyes are quite bright, why are you still glaring at me like you want to eat me alive? What? You think I only have one eye? You think you have many eyes? Do you believe I'll gouge one out first? Then cut off your tongue, scrape you into pieces of minced meat, and then... *my* corpse?"

"Devil! I'm going to kill you!" Tong Rong stared at the single, lifeless, gray eye that resembled a demon, blood streaming from her mouth. Her voice was weak, yet exceptionally resolute.

He grinned with a single eye, slowly sat down, and suddenly struck with his palm.

With that one palm strike, three teeth flew out.

"I'm going to kill you!" Tong Rong spat out a mouthful of blood.

One-Eyed laughed even harder. "Kill me?" He lazily grabbed Tong Rong's long hair, then suddenly pulled and shook it, a strand of hair pulling out her scalp. Tong Rong screamed, her facial muscles contorting violently, yet she still stared at One-Eyed.

One-Eyed laughed again, and suddenly a cow-shaped bun appeared in his hand. He grabbed a few pieces of crushed biscuits, slowly crushed them, and then suddenly shoved the crumbs into Tong Rong's mouth, laughing loudly.

"I love stubborn people! Stare! Stare all you want, just watch how I torture you! How I rape you!"

"How can I make you scream like that?! I'll make sure you see all of this clearly! Then, I'll gouge out your eyes and cut off your tongue! Ha..." "I'm going to kill you!" Tong Rong shouted incoherently.

The one-eyed man's smile suddenly softened. He grabbed some more crumbs of biscuits, moving them slowly, the crumbs peeking through his fingers and falling to the ground; he then reached out and gently mixed the dirt and biscuit crumbs together. "Look, what lovely food..." he chuckled softly, "Come on, tell me, how are you going to distribute this? Huh? Tell me, are you going to take this stuff or not? / Think about it, are you going to let them die with you? Huh? -- Haha... You're the one who ruined them! You're the one who let them starve to death... Haha... Little girl, your chastity is too precious..." He sneered maliciously, then grabbed a flattened, shapeless piece of bread. "Good boy, do you want to eat? If you do, be good; if you don't, be good too. Your fate is unavoidable. No one can save you... When a person is about to die, their words are kind. Do you want to save them, or do you want all this food to turn into dust? Hehehehe..." "You—kill me."

Tong Rong finally stopped staring at that one eye. She closed her eyes. Tears welled up, and her voice was still indistinct, but undoubtedly, all its sharpness had been lost.

Little Fatty walked up to his prey.

This is the prey that was caught and immediately fell unconscious. She was beautiful, radiant, and captivating. Under the fluorescent light, she remained unconscious, motionless.

What should we do if someone is in a coma? Should we agree or disagree?

(It must be tacit approval, right?)

(Yes. It must be tacit consent! Neither agreeing nor disagreeing, it's tacit consent.) He scratched his head, looking very troubled. He patted the other person's face, but there was no reaction; he kneaded the other person's body, but still no reaction.

—Does she agree or disagree?

(Ha! She agreed! She was faking it! Her posture has changed!) This was truly an amazing discovery. Little Fatty was delighted. He remembered that before they left, her body was slightly bent forward, but now it was slightly tilted back, the angle small, but clearly enough to easily remove her clothes. And then… of course… he grinned happily. He turned off the fluorescent light.

Since the other party is being so cooperative, he shouldn't make her too shy, right?

But at that moment, he suddenly heard a sharp gust of wind.

A crisp sound.

—If I'm not mistaken, that sounded like bones being shattered.

(My throat...)

He collapsed with a thud.

*** *** ***

Zhu Qian sat up quietly.

She held a shoe in her hand. It was a strange shoe; it looked two sizes too big for her, yet it fit perfectly on her feet. It had a block heel and iron feet, but walking in it was no different from walking in her sneakers—she never felt awkward at all.

She didn't know whose shoes they were, but since they were comfortable to wear and she was wearing them herself, she didn't care whose they were.

The shoes were on her feet, but the moment she fell, she already thought of a way to fight back. Fortunately, the other party actually gave her time to prepare.

---Magpie Bridge Fairy

Reply [30]: So, after the other party left, she took off the shoe, held it in her hand, and prepared to make a move at any time. And the part she would make a move on was her Adam's apple.

—One of the most vulnerable parts of a man's body.

She finally succeeded.

Success was achieved in one fell swoop.

She sat up, her expression calm.

Yes, men will resort to force if they can't get what they want through normal means. But what about women?

Women can use force too. Women are not necessarily weak. At least—she isn't. And she never will be.

She remained silent for a moment before moving and touching the other person's body—the bones were broken, and blood was seeping from the Adam's apple.

It was damp and warm to the touch. Breathing had stopped, and there was no heartbeat. This person was clearly dead.

She quietly searched the other person's body and finally found a short sword and a small cloth bag. Inside the bag, there seemed to be a small disc. The moment she pulled the disc out, a green light flashed.

She immediately put the disc back and listened intently to the sounds around her.

—No one noticed.

She recalled the visual sensation when the green light suddenly appeared.

—Not far away, there was a small, sloping hole leading upwards. That's where that person dragged her. (That person is dead. Bleeding. Bleeding...bleeding...) [—What do you drink when there's no water? You drink urine; what do you drink when there's no urine? You drink...] She suddenly bent down and opened her mouth.

A kiss. A passionate, tender kiss on the other person's neck.

*** *** ***

"Kill you? Fine, I will." The one-eyed man laughed loudly, "I'll talk about it after I've had my fun!" He threw down his backpack and took off his clothes.

But then, those tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and an incredibly clear voice rang out, "—You can do whatever you want! Then, kill me! Let me die! But you must return their food and water! Otherwise, I will still resist! Even as a ghost, I will not let you go!"

The one-eyed man was stunned.

He gazed at the girl who was powerless to resist.

Those eyes were no longer glaring at him, but something more terrifying than hatred was now present. He suddenly felt a chill in his heart. A chill he had never felt before.

fear.

—That was, surprisingly, shockingly, righteousness!

—Righteousness?

Is there still righteousness in this world?

He gave a muffled laugh. A fierce glint suddenly appeared in his deathly gray eye, and he stretched out his large, fan-like hand, tearing all of the other person's clothes to shreds.

"You... resist?" His eyes were already red. He leaned closer, staring intently into those bright yet stubborn eyes. "—How...how...resist?!"

Tong Rong smiled.

Her expression was calm, and her smile was cold and aloof.

She stared at the approaching eyes, her cold smile turning into endless sarcasm. "—Will you return the woman who stole you? No, you won't. But I'd rather believe you will. I'd rather try it, even if it's like playing with fire! And you, you crave desire! Satisfaction! The power to watch a woman be humiliated by you, powerless to resist! You're just a liar, ...

The one-eyed man's expression became even more terrifying. His face was contorted, yet his eyes held an unconcealable pain and sorrow. Ferocity and cruelty were quietly emerging.

"My resistance has begun." Tong Rong's voice became clearer.

"Now, I am powerless to resist your lust, but I will watch you, watch how you satisfy your lust. I will no longer suffer, no longer scream, no longer fear, and no longer feel unbearable pain! I will watch you, watch how you satisfy your lust, and I will no longer feel pain, no longer scream, no longer fear, and no longer feel like I'm dying! I will watch you, watch how you satisfy your lust, and I will no longer feel pain, no longer scream, no longer fear, and I will no longer feel like I'm dying!"

For the sake of my life, I won't care about my chastity. Therefore, I won't hate you—because, whether it's true or not, you've already said you'd return what you stole! I won't believe your heart, but I believe my ears. Come on! Do it!

"Remember, it's because of those words that I don't hate you!"
