Lei Mingxing wanted to jump off the bed in horror, to escape from here immediatly. But she wasn't quick enough.
The moment the man realized what she wanted to do, he rushed in front of the bed and pressed her down again.
The sleazly grin on his face waking Lei Mingxing's deepest nightmares, fueling her darkest terror. She began to shake beneath his strong grip.
"Now, now, what are you so afraid of? Do you know how troublesome it was to get you inside the town? You should be thanking me for getting you to safety."
As he breathed these words into Lei Mingxing's ear, his hands began to fiddle with her dudou, hoping to reveal her proud twim peaks.
Lei Mingxing's body felt cold, she had still tried to escape his clutch at first but as soon as she felt his fingers brushing against the strings of the belly cover, her entire body froze. Her hands loosened and her eyes began to glaze over.
Her strong fear and instinct leaving her petrified.
A soft voice seemed to whisper inside her mind.
'Just let him have his way, it will only get worse if you struggle.'
'Did you think you could escape your fate? It's a futile endeavour.'
The man noticed her sudden motionlessness, his lecherous grin widening.
"Good girl, one should know how to repay a favor."
These careless words of the man awakened Lei Mingxing from her stupor, a strange heat began to rise from the depths of her heart and soul, along with a burning rage that had long since been buried.
The whisper in her mind died down, replaced by the image of an everchanging cristal flower in a thin, boney hand.
This blossom ignited a raging fire in her heart.
The knot holding her dudou in place finally loosened and the man pulled away the pesky piece of clothing that blocked him from freely enjoying the youthful body underneath him.
Lei Mingxing felt the cold air carress her bare skin as his lustful eyes wander over her body. This was the trigger that caused her bent up anger to finally erupt.
She turned her head and bit down on the arm that was pressing on her shoulder, as the man exclaimed in pain and anger, she brought up her knees and slammed in between his legs.
Curling and howling in pain, he let go off Lei Mingxing and she took this chance to crawl away from the man.
"Sh*t! Stay here, you f*cking b*tch!"
Despite the unbearable pain in his nether region, the man still reached out to grab Lei Mingxing's hair.
With one strong tug, he yanked her back towards him.
He laughed with unmasked maliciousness in his voice, directly pressing her down with his heavy body.
"Now, let's see how I'll make you pay for this, dirty b*tch!"
Lei Mingxing struggled even harder, scratching him, punching him, trying her best to cause him pain. And when his disgusting words fell on her ears, she roared through gritted teeth with unbridled wrath.
"Let me go, you f*cking b*stard!"
Instantly a roaring flame sprung from her body, directly hitting the man's ugly face.
The man screamed in pain, clawing at his eyes that were being consumed by flames. But instead of putting the fire out, his actions only helped it spread to his arms.
The flames burned ferociously and no matter what the man did, even if it was rolling on the ground or splashing water on himself, the fire clung to him. It slowly, painfully burned him to a crisp, leaving a black corpse lying on the ground with its mouth ajar in a silent scream.
Only after the last, tiny spark of life had left his charred corpse did the fire fade.
Lei Mingxing panted heavily in shock, her heart was pounding as if she had completed some strenuous exercise and her whole body felt weak.
This was a kind of weakness she had never felt before. It stemmed from deep within her and wouldn't go away even after a couple minutes rest.
But her weakness didn't bother her in the slightest, on the contrary. Her mind felt clear and confused at the same time, as a thought slowly took shape inside her mind.
Did she cause that fire?
Was that... her Qi?
Lei Mingxing somewhat blankly deducted.
It took a few seconds for the realization to sink in, but soon Lei Mingxing began to laugh in disbelief.
"Ha..., haha..., hahahah-"
Delight perminated her being and she fell back onto the bed heavily.
She curled up in laughter, almost an hour passed before she was able to calm her surging emotions.
Lei Mingxing sat up, gathering her legs into a lotus position.
Breathing in and out, she tried probing inside her body. It took a good while, but she soon found a very faint line of red circling around in her body. The excitement caused by this sudden discovery ejected Lei Mingxing from her metitative state, but she didn't care at all, she was far too excited to meditate.
Furthermore, meditating here was far too risky anyway.
After she had laughed for a long time, she got up from the bed. The initial wave of weakness had died down, but she still felt unsteady on her feet. Although, this didn't stop her from kicking the burnt corpse on the ground at least once.
She picked up her dudou and put it on again, before she walked through the house, scanning for anything of potential value. She was also looking for some new clothes.
Soon finding the latter, she searched through the rather small pile of clothes for the cleanest set.
Although they were a man's attire, and she despised their owner, it was better than walking around half-naked and potentially invinting more trouble. She put the chosen robes aside for tomorrow and continued scurrying for any valuables.
Her luck was very good once more, instead of some small change scattered around, she found a whole bag filled with both yuan and a few silver coins. Next to the bag was also a large sword and some leather armor, clearly establishing the charred corpse's former identity as mercenary, which also explained why he found her in the Dark Spirit Woods and was able to take her back.
Lei Mingxing pursed her lips and simply took the money bag and but it next to the stack of clothes.
Having completed her preparations for tomorrow, Lei Mingxing felt extreme exhaustion wash over her.
Night had long since fallen, and Lei Mingxing hadn't slept for nearly two days. She casually walked over to the shabby bed and laid down.
Soon, she fell asleep, despite the strong stench of burnt flesh.
Small theater:
The Fire burning the mercenary to a crisp: *blinking eyes(?), expectant burning noises*
Lei Mingxing:...
Lei Mingxing: Good job.
