Chapter 2 - Ch. 2: Red Dots

TW: Vulgar words, sexual harassment, pig slaughter

The steps got closer and a lecherous voice echoed the 'bahay kubo'*.

"Xu Qiren~" 

Xu Qiren's heart went numbed and took a deep breath. 

"Yes, father?" Xu Qiren's harsh but sweet voice echoed back.

"Did you behaved well? Ah, I forgot, you are chained up so tightly. Of course you behaved," the guy with a droopy eyes and rough beard smiled gently at her and rubbed her head affectionately.

"..." Xu Qiren smiled softly back at him despite the fear leaking in her eyes.

Hoping that doing so would appease the man further.

The man suddenly yanked her hair and knocked her head to the floor.

He recklessly kicked her stomach, making her curled up.

Her mouth gaped and want to vomit. But she haven't eaten enough for 2 days.

The foods the spirits gave her food along with some animals, however she didn't ate too much in fear this scenario might happen. If she vomited something out, he might get suspicious.

The man suddenly changed expression and hugged her gently.

"I am so sorry, so sorry."

Xu Qiren shivered but she got used to it and learned her lesson when she once pushed him reflexively.

Xu Qiren doesn't know why he chose her out of all people and why the man managed to get out of everyone's notice after kidnapping her.

'Insane, utterly insane. Mental nutcase,' Xu Qiren thought as she wants to scratch herself to relieve her from feeling disgusted all over.

'No, this is fine. I am used to it.' Xu Qiren comforted herself silently.

The man suddenly started to touch her in a disgusting way, licking her earlobe, neck and sucking her collarbone. 

One of his hands was placed on her waist and another on her inner thighs.

Xu Qiren gritted her teeth. As she thought of the lively spirits who acts like children, the animals who treated her much better than anyone in her life, the tasty foods they always give her, strength suddenly took over her and headbutted the man hard.

She doesn't care if she would die today, enough is enough. 

3 months of this fuckery is enough.

After this... she'll join them. Stay with them. Forever.

Yes. They are much better than humans, anyway.

"Ugh..." the man's eyes turned bloodshot and an animalistic growl from him was heard.

Xu Qiren shivered but she doesn't want this anymore.

"You still haven't learned your lesson, I see," the man shook his head and raised his fist.

Xu Qiren suddenly threw a bunch of powder to him.

The spirits gave this to her enthusiastically and proudly said they made this for 2 months just for her.

Xu Qiren trust the spirits and used this to defend herself. It doesn't matter if it failed of not, she just doesn't want to live like a slave, and will continue doing it till she get her own freedom.

"FUCK!! I'M PLANNING TO USE YOU TILL YOU ARE 17 BUT YOU KEPT ACTING LIKE A BITCH!!! ... Wait.." The man ferociously wiped his eyes and grinned madly.

Thinking that he can just use the new drug that has yet reached the black market the master gave him to Xu Qiren and act as a Guinea pig for him.

But before he can act on what he thought, he saw Xu Qiren tremblingly used a key, that he did not know when she managed to get from him, to unlock herself.

He chuckled madly, taking a step to sprint towards her. 

Unfortunately for him, he felt an intense pain all over his body and red dots started to appear all over his skin.

He got shingles*.

A severe one.

He felt an overwhelming mix of burning, shooting, and itchy pain that makes him wanna scratch himself and yet not.

His scalp, face, back, private parts, all of his skin. Not a single part was spared from the sudden and overwhelming painful itch.

"WAAAHH!!! WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO ME???"

The sight of seeing the guy suddenly having red dots all over as well as having blisters are shocking for Xu Qiren despite having the ability to talk with spirits.

But this made Xu Qiren hasten her actions of unlocking herself.

Clank!

Clank!

Iron hitting the bamboo floor as well as bumping to each other can be heard as she removed her shackles.

As she was about to run away, she remembered the words of the spirits.

'Xu Qiren, remember to get rid of the amulets he have... it's giving everyone pain here,' the spirits whined pitifully in her ear.

'That's right, break it or throw it to something hot and melt it. We really hate it.'

'More terrible than when we got accidentally caught by the 'ambularyo'.'

'That's because you are super sensitive! Most of the humans did not even kill anyone of you, but you still maliciously curse them. Ah, Xu Qiren, do you kno...'

She resolutely turned around and grabbed the amulet necklace off him. 

"BITCHHH!!" The man screamed when he felt she took his necklace, scratching him in the process.

Xu Qiren did not even frowned and just swished her hand to removed the blood of her when she unintentionally scratched him.

The man kept screaming in pain and can't even stand, making Xu Qiren felt safe and gave the time to leisurely think of what to do with him.

'Should I just kill him? Hmm... Yeah, I should just burn him. Alive.'

Xu Qiren nodded her head and looked for a heavy rock which she quickly found.

She then went to the man and dropped the rock accurately on his wrist where the amulet bracelet is.

The man screamed in pain. Tears unconsciously fell from his eye, making him suffer more as e felt the sting that numbs his skull.

But Xu Qiren Doesn't care, she went out to look for another rock and dropped it again at his wrist, which failed since he moved.

This went on for 15 whole minutes until the amulet bracelet was destroyed.

Xu Qiren suddenly felt the presence of the spirits.

'Hooray!!! Xu Qiren did it!!'

'Xu Qiren won! Xu Qiren won!!'

'Let's make the bad guy suffered more!!' one of them suggested, in which the cute yet beautiful floating tiny humans with wings akin to ceramic shaped like fairies.

Sadly, Xu Qiren can't see their appearance. But she is grateful to each and every one of them.
