Chapter 2: The Holy Water Leak Incident
Luo Yuxi looked at the harpy girls surrounding her, a strange sense of familiarity washing over her. The leader approached, her predatory gaze undisguised.
“You have such a sweet scent. Even if we don’t present you to our masters, we can sell you at the auction for a good price~”
“Uh, an auction? You flatter me…”
“And you can use holy magic~”
“It’s just ordinary divine arts…”
Luo Yuxi looked at the harpies, their crossbows all aimed at her. She knew she couldn’t escape easily. She sighed and looked for an opening.
“Stop! Do you want to damage such a valuable commodity?!”
The leader waved her hand, and the harpies lowered their crossbows. Luo Yuxi chuckled self-deprecatingly. So she was a commodity. It seemed they were determined to capture her.
[Divine Art: Holy Flame]
“If you want to take me, you’ll have to show me what you’ve got…”
Luo Yuxi glared at the harpies. Although she had a soft spot for beautiful girls, she wouldn’t show mercy to those with hostile intentions. The leader, seeing the white flames, hesitated, then waved her hand.
“You two, hold her down. We need her alive…”
Luo Yuxi didn’t resist as two harpies approached. But the moment they touched her, a searing pain made them let go, even though their hands were unharmed.
“Ouch! What the hell?! Did you use poison?!”
“It hurts! Like I’m on fire! Damn it!”
…
Luo Yuxi smirked, seeing the two in agony from a mere touch of her white flames. Even high-Order powerhouses wouldn’t dare touch her so carelessly, let alone these two low-level soldiers.
“This is a life-threatening skill, but I can use it like a normal attack…”
“You really can use holy magic. If we take you back to the Holy City, the high-ranking officials will be very surprised~”
“What holy magic? This is a divine art!”
Luo Yuxi, enraged, charged at the leader, her body enhanced by her divine power. The leader, caught off guard, was met with a pink blur.
“So fast!”
“This is for looking down on me! Take this!”
Luo Yuxi, using her knowledge from watching boxing videos, delivered a left hook, her fist imbued with holy flame, shattering the leader’s helmet. The harpy was sent flying.
“Ah!”
“Don’t look down on humans, you bastard!”
“H-How is that possible?! Ouch… why is this human so fast?! Get her! All of you!”
The leader, her helmet in pieces, a lock of her light golden hair falling over her face, her green eyes filled with disbelief, clutched her bruised cheek.
“Sob, even my mother has never hit me like this! You!! Get her!”
“But Captain, she’s on fire…”
“What ‘but’?! I’m going to rape and torture this little bitch, then let you have your fun, and then sell her at the auction!!”
The leader’s arrogance was gone, replaced by a furious rage. Luo Yuxi looked at the harpies, their crossbows aimed at her limbs. They wanted to incapacitate her.
“I can’t beat those high-Orders, but I’m not afraid of you!”
[Divine Art: Protection]
As the arrows flew, a golden film enveloped Luo Yuxi, the arrows stopping as if hitting jelly. Luo Yuxi charged at a group of harpies. Although she lacked powerful offensive skills, she still knew the basics.
“Let me show you how skill can make up for lack of power!”
[Divine Art: Illumination]
A small ball of light appeared in Luo Yuxi’s hand. She threw it and closed her eyes. The ball exploded, a blinding flash of light filling the area, like a flashbang.
“So bright! What is this?!”
“Ah, I can’t see!”
“Don’t use your crossbows! You’ll hit our own!”
“Wait, who’s touching my butt?!”
…
Luo Yuxi opened her eyes and saw the harpies in disarray. She seized the opportunity and rushed towards the leader, grabbing her in a chokehold.
“Don’t move, or I’ll show you the other side…”
As the harpies recovered, they saw their leader being held hostage, a broken arrow at her throat.
“Wait! Wait! D-Don’t kill me!”
“Where’s your arrogance now? You’re so pathetic~”
Luo Yuxi felt the girl tremble in her arms, a feeling other than aggression for the first time. Being feared was quite satisfying. She pressed the arrow against her neck, a small drop of blood appearing.
“You know you’re scared now, right? It’s too late. You shouldn’t have provoked me~”
“No! Don’t! I was wrong, I shouldn’t have offended you! Please let me go, I’m just a small captain…!”
“Let you go? That would make me lose face. For your transgression, you’ll have to die first…”
The girl trembled uncontrollably, and the surrounding harpies, seeing this, were too scared to approach. Luo Yuxi, seeing the time was right, said coldly,
“You’re not going to survive this. Enjoy your last moments~”
“Last moments? Wh-What last moments? Are you going to let me go and then hunt me down…?”
“No, no, no…”
Luo Yuxi shook her head, as if unconcerned, and held up three fingers. The girl was confused.
“What’s that? Are you saying you’ll grant me three wishes… Okay, okay, I agree! Just let me go…”
“3.”
“Huh?”
“2.”
“Wait, please spare me!!”
“1.”
“!!”
Luo Yuxi raised the arrow, then stopped just as it was about to pierce the girl’s neck. She smiled mischievously.
“Just kidding. Were you scared~?”
“…”
“Hmm?”
The girl didn’t respond. Luo Yuxi looked and saw she had fainted. Luo Yuxi was speechless. She had fainted so easily. Then she noticed a clear liquid dripping from between her legs.
“No way, she actually…”
Luo Yuxi looked at the girl, a puddle of “holy water” forming beneath her. She gently laid her on the ground.
“I was just joking, I didn’t expect you to be so easily scared. When you wake up, don’t hold a grudge…”
Luo Yuxi looked at the surrounding harpies, then at the girl who had leaked a large amount of “holy water,” and said apologetically,
“Um? Shouldn’t you take her back…?”
