Chapter 12: Just relax and enjoy

- Exactly. - The Lady gave them the soft smile of a much-experienced woman. - Girl, I think you'd better make up your mind right now, so as not to complicate things any further.

Great Elder snapped her fingers and a pale, sweet-scented pill ball hung in front of her face.

Tears welled up in the poor girl's eyes. First, a known lecher had laid eyes on her. She fled with difficulty and hid in the Untouchable's house, hoping they would not look for her there. They found her. She took the elder's appearance as a mercy from heaven. And she was wrong. That pretty woman obviously wasn't going to save her. And the last phrase could even be considered an order to surrender right now.

Gritting her teeth, the girl looked at the proposed lovers. The fat man froze in shock at the results of their altercation. The Untouchable calmly crossed his arms over his chest and frowned at the elder in the air, completely ignoring the fictitious lover.

A disembodied toad and a dumpster rat.

She didn't want to go to the toad. She didn't run away from him to come back willingly. She wanted the rat even less. He smells like a garbage can up to here. Touch it? At least the fat man's clean.

Seeing the girl's hesitation, the Lady frowned. It wasn't every day she got the chance to tame such a brat as him. Now the whole plan was hanging by a thread, about to go the wrong way. She's gonna have to give it another push.

- You can take your time. - The elder raised her hand. - I understand, the cavaliers are dirty and sweaty and stinky. So let's start by making them look human.

Two streams of light burst from the Lady's fingers, covering both "lovers". In a few seconds the glow dissipated, leaving the young men clean and tidy.

The girl was even confused. After the magical transformation, the fat man began to look... handsome. Instead of a fat carcass, a respectable gentleman appeared. The Untouchable had changed even more. A sturdy body emerged from beneath a layer of dirt, his hair became silky shiny, and his face was unexpectedly masculine. Even his clothes were no longer a pile of rags.

- You! - Angrily glared at Lady Yee Rhys after a brief appraisal of his change of appearance.

- What? - The Beauty inquired. The wall of indifference has been breached. Hip, hip, hooray!

- Couldn't you do that before? - He returned to his calm tone.

The people were dumbfounded. First of all, what had he said! Secondly, to whom!!! The Supreme Elder!!! And how he said it. As if she owed him something.

- Oh, has Mr. I-don't-care suddenly started to love cleanness? - The Lady was the first to come forward. - That's nice to hear.

Contrary to what the unwilling witnesses had expected, there was no anger in her voice.

Then the Elder's gaze fell on the girl.

- If the princes were to be made good, then the princess must also be made good.

Another pillar of light came down and covered the girl. Out of the light appeared a beautiful maiden in snow-white robes that emphasized everything that needed to be emphasized and hid everything that needed to be hidden. The long slit of the skirt stirred the imagination. Her hair was pulled back in a magnificent style, adorned with flowers.

While the male part of those present contemplated the created beauty, the girl tried to come to her senses. Taking a deep breath to calm down, she found a pleasant sweet aroma in the air, which made her feel softly dizzy. The girl's cheeks turned pink and her heart began to beat faster and faster.

The maiden looked around, her eyes misting over, at the "lonely hero". The mind seemed to be enveloped in a soft pink veil.

Yee Rhys felt a chill inside. His liver urged him to get out of here, fast. His stomach and kidneys were in complete agreement. At the same time, his brain coldly stated that the trap had closed. And the escape would last exactly as long as the Lady found it amusing. It was unlikely to affect the ending. So why give her pleasure and yourself unnecessary trouble?

Under the approving gaze of the Elder, the girl slowly made her way to Yee Rhys, as she began to take off her clothes, which for some reason had become too warm. The young man backed away quietly, keeping one eye on the real threat that was looming overhead.

When only her underwear remained on, Rhys realized that he couldn't wait any longer. Stepping sharply forward, he intercepted the slender wrists and threw the aphrodisiac victim to the ground, locking her arms securely in place. Standing on all fours, he looked up to the sky.

- What does she mean...

The young man didn't have time to finish. Another pill flashed in her hand, an exact replica of its predecessor, and rushed swiftly into his carelessly open mouth. Without lingering, the speedy "guest" slipped down his gullet and hurried to its destination.

- Just relax and enjoy. - Sweetly smiled the Beauty in the sky at the disgruntled stare of the choked Yee Rhys. With a wave of her sleeve, the entire courtyard was covered in a thick mist. - The show's over. You're dismissed. And, yes, I wasn't here.

Lady shifted her gaze to the disciples of the Outer Sect and a few random workers, hypnotized by the unexpected striptease. Under the gaze of the Grand Elder, they quickly came to their senses and scattered like mice at the sight of a squad of cats rat-catchers. The Beauty herself was about to leave the place as well, but suddenly she felt something strange.

***

Yee Rhys was slowly coming to his senses. A strange feeling of emptiness and contentment filled his body at the same time. Slowly the senses began to return. There was something soft and hard underneath, and it was cool on top.

Finally opening his eyes and soberly assessing the disposition, he wanted to swear.

The long-suffering courtyard was covered with whitish fog, from which the outlines of "home" house with silently swinging door could be seen. The mixture of soft and hard turned out to be clothes scattered on the ground. But the most unpleasant surprise was sniffing nearby, flashing it's naked body.

The memory came back sharply, like a knife stabbed under the shoulder blade by a traitor. And just as painful. Wow, that's how I went to lunch.

Yee Rhys got up and began to unpack, dressing and covering the girl with her dress. What can I say, the only plus side of the situation was that thanks to Lady, his clothes were back to normal. Even after wallowing in dust they looked better than before they had been cleaned. The rest was better forgotten.

A scroll that caught his eye went into the house, over the threshold. He propped the door open with a stick and shook his hand away. There was no need to worry about the safety of this treasure. After today's incident, he doubted that anyone else would risk breaking into his house.

- Are you done already?

A soft voice made Yee Rhys's cheekbones tighten.

- Don't tell me you didn't like it. - The lady slowly descended from the sky.

- I prefer to sleep with women I know. - He replied coldly, - You never know what kind of disease you can catch from one night stand girls.

- She was a virgin. - The Elder pointed to the blood stain.

- Why did you do that to her? - Yee Rhys asked glumly.

- What's the harm in it? - The Lady shrugged. - She's too weak. Even if she escaped today, someone would catch her tomorrow or the day after.

The young man clenched his teeth. This is a world of cultivators. Even in the sect, they look the other way on rape, as long as there's a appearance of decency. It's almost the same with robbery and intimidation. Whoever is strongest is right. If you are intimidated/robbed/raped, you have only yourself to blame for being too weak.

- What's next? - Yee Rhys asked in a deliberately flat voice. He had just been told directly that he was weak. After all, he had not managed to escape either. A volcano of emotions raged inside, but his face remained calm. To snap now would be to please the Lady and to run into another lesson. The whole situation was one big provocation. So far the Elder had never punished him for nothing. If you don't give her a reason, sooner or later she'll leave it.

- Next? - The Lady acted in bewilderment. - You're a worker, aren't you? And you haven't done your job yet today. Then go and work.

A gust of wind picked up a broom from the corner of the courtyard, jabbed it into the young man's reflexively outstretched hands and carried them both skyward to the protesting rumbling of the stomach.

***

After escorting the grief-stricken worker with a glance, the Lady turned back to the sleeping girl.

- And now we can get to you.

With a slight flick of her sleeve, the girl and all of her clothes soared into the air and followed the Elder down the celestial path.

When everyone was gone, the fog around the courtyard cleared, revealing to the world a half-decayed house and a broken fence.
