'Tch! These two bitches. How dare they show up out of nowhere and steal my quotas!'
Lan Ruxue was fuming internally, but her face outside contained the same cold contempt it held whenever she looked at the two girls In front of her.
'Heavenly Fairies? That's bullshit. Just because they achieved a few minor things, they suddenly get so much attention. I could do the same just as easily as they can.'
The girls in the sect seemed to hold these two in high regard, but whenever Lan Ruxue looked at them, she couldn't understand why.
Just because they were somewhat prettier than the average? Or somewhat stronger? She was certain that if they fought, the two so-called Heavenly Fairies would be begging at her feet in no time.
'After all these years, I've finally reached the peak of mid-stage 3rd class. These little girls who haven't even stopped sucking their mommy's milk yet, there's no way they can be more powerful than me.'
As she monologues internally, her group finally reached a secluded space along with the two girls they were escorting. The second they did, they formed a circle around them.
"Finally, I got you two fake bitches alone. I don't like useless talk, so I'll be forward. Give me the quotas you stole from me and I won't cripple you." Lan Ruxue sneered.
But the two Heavenly Fairies didn't even look at her. Instead, they were glancing at each other.
Standing next to each other, one with pink hair and ruby eyes, the other having dark blue in both, the contrast between them really accentuated the unique points of both beauties.
Coupled with their opposing temperaments, many people were confused about how they got along so well. Yet, the two Heavenly Fairies didn't seem to care about the logic imposed upon them by others. They acted as if the entire world meant nothing to them.
Whether it be temperament, looks, or status, Lan Ruxue knew in her heart that she didn't match up to the fairies in any of them. It was part of the reason why she hated them so much.
'The Young Masters of the Long Clan always eye me with lust. Even the men of my own family can't keep their eyes off me. How dare you look better than me?'
Lan Ruxue grit her teeth. Even as she thought it, she remembered the rumors about the two Heavenly Fairies that she had heard.
The pink-haired one had a playful temperament, and the blue-haired one was more indifferent. Both of them gave men a strong desire of wanting to conquer.
It started with the first young master of the Wang Clan, who had spotted them during their first mission. After that, young masters and even a few elders from the Long Clan, Xue Clan, and even the Jade Heavenly Palace had tried to court the two.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut without suspense, they had all been rejected. A few had even gone home with their little brothers and other important appendages missing, while some who still couldn't get the hint had ended up dead entirely.
Over the course of the past year, the two Heavenly Fairies had formed grudges against countless powers, yet, the Sect Master was still hell-bent on protecting them.
'Tch! Even if they go to the Empyrean Dragon Realm opening, they'll just cause trouble for the sect. In fact, the Sect Master and the Elders should thank me for putting them in their place.'
She was jealous. She could at least admit that much to herself, but she didn't care. What right did these two women with no background or power have to become the object of affection for men that she could only ever dream of? The fact that she was being ignored by the two only made her anger boil further.
"You dare ignore me?!" She waved her hand, causing an arc of golden mana to rush at the two girls.
Although it was a light attack, it was still something that could cause injury if it wasn't evaded or blocked properly. Lan Ruxue took special care in controlling her strength so she would only humiliate them instead of harming them.
But unlike what she expected, the pink-haired beauty simply waved her hand, causing the golden arc to disperse as if it never existed.
"Do you want to take this one, or should I?" She asked the woman who stood beside her.
The blue-haired girl glanced around with indifference. "I don't mind either way. It's not like it'll take long regardless of who does it."
"That's true, but still! Don't you want to have a little fun? How can my little sister be such a wuss?"
"I don't think calling me a wuss is right in this context. Also, when did I become your little sister?"
"Ehehehe! You know just as well as I do why you're my little sister. Even if he doesn't accept it, I just have to make him!"
"Tch. You're talking nonsense again. Whatever, if it'll shut you up, I guess I'll take care of it this time. But drinks are on you tonight, and not the cheap shit. I want the premium quality Dew Wine that the Sect Master gave you as a reward."
"Gasp! How could you target my precious Dew Wine?! You're too cruel!"
As the two girls continued to converse, Lan Ruxue felt like she was getting repeatedly slapped in the face. But at the same time, an uneasy feeling crept into her heart.
'How could my attack be blocked so easily? No, it must be because I didn't put any strength into it. Do these girls think they're so good just because I went easy on them?'
But before her thoughts could reach a conclusion, a sword appeared in the blue-haired beauty's hand.
"Remember this, I don't want to be known by some cringe title like Heavenly Fairy. The name of the one who crippled you is Elena Pierce. Don't forget it."
She vanished from her position, appearing next to one of the girls in the encirclement.
Swoosh!
In an instant, 4 streaks of Sword Aura appeared in the air, severing the girl's extremities. Before the limbs could even fall to the floor, Elena moved to her next target.
A faint white light covered her body as she moved. It enhanced her speed to the point where even Rose had a hard time following it.
Within seconds, nine of the ten girls were laying on the ground leaking blood. Not a single one of them had limbs attached to their bodies anymore.
"Oh, my bad. I didn't think you would be so weak. Let me help you." Elena spoke flatly. A greenish-white mist emanated from her body.
The mana moved and placed the girls' limbs back where they were supposed to go, and when the greenish-white light passed by, it slowly reattached those limbs to the body.
All of it happened in an instant. Lan Ruxue couldn't believe what she was seeing. Her face was pale in horror.
'What…what just happened?'
She couldn't see it at all. By the time she understood what was going on, all of her lackeys were on the floor, limbless. And before she could even process that information, their limbs were being reattached.
'Run…I have to run.'
She understood it. She had barked up the wrong tree this time. She turned around and prepared to flee, but she suddenly couldn't feel her legs under her anymore.
Thump!
Her body fell to the floor. Blood spurted from her thighs.
"AHHHH! SOMEONE HELP!"
She screamed. If someone saw the atrocity that these girls were committing, they would surely be expelled from the sect. It was her last hope at salvation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe screamed and screamed. For minutes on end she screamed, but nobody appeared to save her.
Rose giggled at her attempts. "Confused? Don't worry. This is only the start of the show. I like to be a little more lowkey when I act. Elena, on the other hand, can't hold herself back when she gets excited like this."
Before Lan Ruxue could ponder on Rose's words, her body was forced into an upright position.
A chair appeared under her as if it had always existed there, supporting her body. Chains wrapped around her soon after to prevent her escape, and a mechanism that held her head in place and her eyes open materialized as the finishing touch of the contraption.
"Alright! The audience is in place, the main actors are all ready! So, let the show begin!"
As Lan Ruxue watched, the nine girls she had brought with her were dismembered countless times. Every time they reached a point where they'd die of blood loss soon, they were healed into peak condition again. The process only repeated after healing.
Ten times, twenty times, it went on like a never-ending cycle. By the fifteenth time, the girls' eyes had become blank and dull. They were foaming at the mouth and unable to form proper sentences anymore.
Lan Ruxue finally understood. She understood why those girls had been mentally crippled without any physical injury.
And she also understood that these two Heavenly Fairies weren't fairies at all. No, they were demonspawn and reapers.
"Phew, that was satisfying," Elena commented lightly before turning towards Lan Ruxue. "She's the main perpetrator, right?"
"Yup!" Rose responded happily while munching on popcorn.
"To use illusions to eat without gaining weight. The fact that you can even replicate taste makes it even more of a cheat. You don't even understand how envious I am."
"Tch. I can't use this method to fill my stomach though, so it's only good for situations like this." Rose quipped back. "Anyway! Continue, continue, I'm enjoying the show!"
Elena shook her head. "You…um, I don't know your name, so I'll just call you "dog". Bark if you don't want to die."
"Woof Woof!" Lan Ruxue barked without hesitation. After the scene she had just witnessed, she was no longer in the proper state of mind. An opportunity to live, that was all she could see at the moment. Pride meant nothing anymore.
Elena nodded matter-of-factly. "Very well. Since you're being such a good dog, I'll make sure to treat you right. Now, allow me to give you a little massage as a reward."
Elena appeared behind Lan Ruxue. Her hands were placed on the latter's shoulders.
"Enjoy."
It was the last word Lan Ruxue heard before she was plunged into hell.
In a space where sound could never escape, the sounds of bones cracking and incoherent screaming rang out for many hours on end.
