An early rooster crowed as the morning sun sat on the horizon, lifting the darkness from the lands. The young lord peacefully woke up from his deep slumber, his first sight of the day the ceiling of his general's tent and his ever-present HUD. His healthbar had recovered nicely, and the pain of his shoulder and his head had disappeared completely, and although his health wasn't fully healed, his body did feel as light as it had felt the previous morning.
His body felt even a bit lighter, thanks to the two levels he gained by the previous battle. However, level 25 wasn't that special in his eyes, nor were the skills that slowed leveled up as well. The most surprising stat displayed in his menu was his leadership, which was currently maxed at level 99.
Although the game was normally meant to just hack and slash through like you were a possed demon on the battlefield, he felt that was too reckless if death meant permanent death. He had pushed himself twice already, and that had already proven quite much for his body to deal with. Although he apparently had a healing factor most warriors would be envious of, he wasn't really planning to test it out any further. Thus, in the battles he participated in, he used the best of his officers' skills. No wonder that after fourteen battles, his leadership was maxed out.
A slight shuffle drew his attention to the side, where Sun Shang Xiang still lay peacefully. Another shuffle and he remembered there was more than one woman who had been his nightly company. As Brian could deduce from his fortune view, Lian Shi wasn't exceptionally shy. A slight blush stood on his face as Brian thought, Yeah... now what? Have I just started a harem or have I now bound myself?
Suddenly, he realized something important from his situation. Although he answered the young tigress's feelings with a kiss the previous evening, Lian Shi still had not backed away. On the contrary, she lay so close to him, he almost doubted who he had kissed the previous evening. And more importantly, Sun Shang had not stopped her. Are they okay with sharing me? Is that something normal here? I should ask Delan about that when I am back. He thought as he sat up.
''Hm...?'' A soft murmuring sound came as Lian Shi felt movement and slowly opened her dark-brown eyes. Her eyes fell on the naked back of her lord and with still sleepy eyes, she whispered, ''Morning, my lord. Have you slept well?''
''Like a log,'' Brian answered softly. ''Thank you for staying with me.''
''It was my pleasure.'' She smiled as she rose up, the blanket falling off her bare shoulders. Seeing her lord blush from that action, she teasingly smiled as she asked, ''My lord, are you not experienced with the opposite gender?''
Wow, she really just says what she thinks, Brian thought as he answered, ''It is not like I have zero experience. I am... just not used to this,'' Looking at the girl who was still sleeping, he added, ''I am not certain what to make of this situation.''
Lian Shi smiled as she hugged him from behind, her hills of love touching his back as she whispered, ''Let me help you understand. My lady and I like you, and we want the best for you. You accepted her feelings. Can you accept mine as well?''
Brian looked shocked as he momentarily was looking for words. Not to answer the question, but to question the situation. ''Wait a second. I like you too, Lian Shi, but is that possible and right?''
''Are you not a lord? It is legal to have multiple partners with such a title. And if you accept my lady as your wife, I would happily be your concubine,'' Lian Shi whispered blushingly. Are you for real? But the Emporer is my friend... shouldn't that mean... Holy shit!
''What is your answer, my lord?'' Lian Shi whispered, a bit of uncertainty in her voice hearable.
That uncertainty flew straight out of the tent when Brian turned around, pulled her towards him, and kissed her decisively. Taking a moment to catch his breath, he asked, ''Does that suffice as an answer?''
Lian Shi smiled as she answered, ''For now,'' before footsteps and a familiar voice outside the tent interrupted their little moment.
Eight weeks since the Emporer's arrival. The city of Jin Cheng.
Eight weeks. That was the amount of time Brian had lived his life as a Han Dynasty lord of Ancient China. Thrown into a time of chaos, he had the impossible task to bring the land together under one banner.
In his so-called war room, he looked at the map of Ancient China Mi Tong had provided him, and already had drawn multiple lines, indicating the border of his successful conquest. The city of Long You was his western border, and further, he didn't have to go. The rest of the west was independent and was not in turmoil. The northern border ended alongside the Yellow River where the Great Wall started. Shi Cheng and An Deng were his north-east borders, and in the south, the newly acquired lands of Tian Shui formed his new borders.
With Tianshui taken, he could follow the Wei river towards Chang An. There was a problem with that plan though.
The famous Wu Zhang Plains lay between Tian Shui and Chang'an. Knowing the location of the battle between Shu and Wei, Brian was certain the next battle would be there. According to Mi Tong's reports, Zhuge Liang and Sima Shi had joined forces and were close to the Wu Zhang Plains. A battle against the two strategists from Shu and Jin... I am not certain if we are ready to engage in such a battle. Brian thought worriedly.
The door suddenly opened up as a young smiling lord stepped into the room. ''Ah, there you are. I was just looking for you, Brian.'' Liu Shan said with his usual smile. Liu Shan was not that thrilled with the whole lord thing either, so both Brian and Liu Bei's son quickly decided not to use it anymore and keep things casual.
''Liu Shan. I hope the tour through my city was to your liking.,'' Brian responded in kind.
''It was. To see everyone work together with such respect and devotion. How did you achieve to inspire them to work with so much passion?'' Liu Shan asked.
Brian smiled as he answered with a question, ''Liu Shan, what does virtue mean to you? What does it represent?''
''Represent?'' Liu Shan asked before he posed in a thinking stance and answered, ''Virtue is to act on what is right and to do what is good. To have patience; to forgive instead of seeking vengeance; to pay respect, not to contempt.''
''Indeed. Now, how are you going to respect someone? How do you make certain someone will not seek vengeance? How can you determine what is right and what is wrong?'' Brian asked. Receiving a questionable gaze he said, ''There is no answer to that. Even the most virtuous man can fall back in a moment of vengeance when his direst thing is taken from him,'' He answered as he thought about the battle of Yi Ling. ''No man would respect you if you ask for it. You have to earn it. Not by doing good, but by trying to reach your dreams, and help others to do the same.''
''Norms and values come forth out of that and tell us what is right and what is wrong. Rules by the one in charge will be law, but you need to be acknowledged as their leader to let people listen to you,'' Brian continued before he answered, ''My people trust my judgment, and see that I am trying to better their quality of life. Thus, they respect me and help me for their own selfish reasons. By seeing others help them, they grow closer together and will try to reach their dreams together, thus, eventually breaking down the selfishness,'' Brian ended. Looking back to the young lord, he thought, I hope he brought that. I am just talking jibberish. I don't know how to rule a country.
Liu Shan looked intrigued as he responded, ''I see. It seems I still have a lot to learn. Would you teach me some more of your wisdom? My father rarely had time to teach me about politics and the daily lives of common people, and Master Zhuge Liang was always too busy to teach me.''
''Of course, I will,'' Brian responded before he switched back to the map and asked, ''Speaking of Zhuge Liang, could you tell me more about him? I heard he was called the Sleeping Dragon and I believe he was Liu Bei's strategist, was he not?''
''Yes, he was. However, there was a quarrel between Zhuge Liang and my father, and he left. I believed he joined Sima Yi's side now to seek a solution for the chaos of the land.'' Liu Shan answered. Another quarrel... How convenient...
''Judging from the rumors I have heard, they haven't found a solution yet,'' Brian said as he looked at the map. ''At this rate, they are going to be a bigger nuisance than a help.''
''Would you oppose them in battle? Even having experienced your strength, I doubt we can win in a battle against master Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi,'' Liu Shan voiced worriedly.
''It will be a tough battle, but it will not be impossible,'' Brian responded as he turned around and added, ''But let us not worry about that for now. There are a few things I want to check up on, so why don't you accompany me?''
''It would be an honor.''
As expected, Xing Cai was waiting for them at the house's exit, holding the ropes of their horses in her hands. ''Good morning, Lord Brian,'' She greeted with a respectful bow.
''Good morning, lady Xing. I hope the tour through our little city was to your liking,'' Brian asked sincerely.
''It was a delight,'' She answered with a faint smile. ''It was refreshing to see so many people in high spirits while they work to restore their homes in these troubled times. I wonder how you achieved such success?''
''It is trust,'' Liu Shan answered in his new friend's place. ''They have unconditional trust in the one that protects and leads them. Isn't that right?''
''Yes, it is. But although the city is changing nicely, it is far from what it should become,'' Brian answered as he untied the rope of his horse. Reading the confused expressions of his interlocutors, he added, ''For this city to be successful, we need more than just stable houses and a safe environment.''
''This city looks quite finished already though. What more could you wish for?'' Xing Cai asked confused as she stepped onto her horse and followed her two lords into the city.
''It still misses several crucial facilities though. Firstly, the surrounding lands from on the east are still unused, despite the fertile soil. Secondly, we still miss an animal farm that can provide this town with additional luxuries. Thirdly, the city may have reached a higher form, but the people have not. If I want them to continue to grow, we need knowledge. A library and academy should solve that problem.''
''That makes sense, but there is more needed than just the structure to make it work as an academy and a library. You need teachers who will teach the students. You need wisdom from books, and you'll need equipment.'' Xing Cai summed up. ''Where are you going to get those?''
''There are plenty of teachers and books out there. You just have to find them first,'' Brian answered. ''Create a base for them to shine, and the rest will follow,'' Brian added as he entered the borders of his town and his guests understood what he meant.
Although the people were sweating and covered in dirt, their faces shone brightly from satisfaction. Knowing they could return home without worrying about food or safety, they could focus on their task. ''Stack them up like this. Otherwise, the structure will not hold.'' could be heard from an experienced constructor who was teaching young inexperienced workers. ''We need more clay over here!'' Another voice rang through the air.
However, just as Brian believed everything was going smoothly, he saw a horse rushing towards him, on it a familiar rider with a worried face. ''Lu Su, what's wrong?'' Brian asked, not even attempting to believe nothing was wrong.
''It is lord Sun Quan! He is sick!'' the strategist reported just as worriedly as his expression illustrated. A message about a new battle showed up in his HUD, another battle where fame could be earned.
Brian wasted little time to ask any further as he responded ''We have no time to waste. Let's go!'' before rushing towards Enkuma.
Unconventional battle. A battle focused on defenses, in which fame can be easily gained. There are reports Kong Rong is taking to the battlefield.
Kong Rong? One of the seven scholars of Jian'an is on the battlefield? Why doesn't it surprise me that I can find the medicine here, Brian concluded as he rode forward onto a foreign land, just passed An Ding near the Wei River.
Just as the map of the battle appeared in his HUD, a group of soldiers could be seen in the distance. ''Stop right there! You have no permission to enter Master Kong Rong's land!'' One of the soldiers shouted threateningly, his spear in the ready to engage on the enemy.
''My apologies, but we had no choice. My friend is very ill, and I heard lord Kong Rong knows a medicine that could help him.'' Brian responded carefully, although he was certain it was in vain. There was already a battle menu in front of him, and the warriors he spoke to were clearly colored as enemies in it. The soldiers shifted their eyes to Lu Su and the ill-red colored Sun Quan, who was sitting just behind his strategist on the horse. It was that moment their eyes shot open, and a mischievous smile appeared on their faces. Are you really going to this? I don't want to begin an attack, but you are giving me little choice here.
The soldier turned back as the chief in their group responded, ''I am sorry, but we can't let you go through without the master's permission. Master Kong Rong is currently away, and I doubt he will return in the next couple of days.''
That was a straight-up lie, and Brian could easily see through it. Not by reading through the man's poker face, but because his map provided him with the location of the enemy commander, who was not too far away from his position. Closing his eyes, he responded, ''That's a shame. Now you have no chance of survival left.'' before he drew his weapon and commanded, ''Battle formation! Lu Su, protect Sun Quan!''
''Wha?!'' the headguard let out shocked, just too late to properly block the incoming charge. ''Aahh!'' He screamed in pain as both his weapon and the arm holding it fell to the ground. He was quickly silenced by an upward strike from Zhao Yun's spear.
None questioned Brian's command, but Brian still felt the need to explain his actions as he raised his voice and explained, ''Kong Rong is in the area to the south. Try to subdue the enemy forces without killing them as quickly as possible. Time is of the essence.''
''Yes, Milord!'' Zhao Yun acknowledged as his spear danced fluently through the crowd, his enemies succumbing to his skill.
''Understood! Leave it to me!'' Xing Cai responded as she charged forward, slamming her shield into her enemies to knock them unconscious.
The few soldiers that stood there were quickly beaten and captured. With his new horse Hex Mark, he rode straight into the next base, his new dual swords slashing through the enemy forces like a knife through butter.
It was a one-sided battle, although Brian did everything in his power not to make it a massacre. A quick lean back made him dodge a spear assault, and using his momentum, he slammed the hilt of his sword on the opponent's temple as he swept his feet at the same time. A swordsman charged in, but he was quickly disarmed, figuratively speaking.
As his soldiers tied up the unconscious warriors as they were used to by now, the three officers charged forward yet again, not showing a moment of hesitation. ''There is a good chance there is an ambush waiting for us further up ahead. Be prepared for it!'' Brian ordered as he led the way.
''Understood! We will not fall for any of their tricks!'' Zhao Yun responded.
''What's the use of an ambush that doesn't hide? No matter. We will quickly eliminate the enemy ambush!'' Xing Cai rallied.
Just as Brian predicted, there was a quickly-made ambush waiting for them in the next base, but they were not prepared for an enemy who had anticipated it. ''Don't move! The enemy wants us to panic!'' the enemy officer ordered before he was knocked unconscious by the dull side of Brian's blade.
The moral of this unconventional battle had shifted drastically in Brian's favor, but there was something else in Brian's sight that caught his attention. A familiar blue bottle, its appearance feeling more Egypte than ancient Chinese in the lord's eyes. Hua Tan's healing elixir? What is it doing here?
Just as Zhao Yun was about to knock the last remaining soldier out, Brian ordered, ''Stand down, Zhao Yun. I need to interrogate him.''
''As you wish, my lord,'' Zhao Yun responded as he guided his spear at his side, jamming it on the ground as an additional way of intimidation.
As Brian walked towards the defeated warrior, the by-fear-driven man still had the guts to say, ''Torture me as you desire! I..I... I am not saying anything!''
''Torture?'' Brian repeated confused. ''Are you an imbecile? This is your moment to make a deal, and you're spouting nonsense.'' He crouched to be on even eye height and added, ''Let's try this again, shall we?'' He brought the bottle in hindsight and asked, ''What is this, and where did you get it from? Answer me rightly, and you are a free man in my kingdom.''
The man looked surprisingly shocked at the proposal, certainly after believing those words were not just empty by the young lord's honest expression. Looking at the ground in front of him, he answered, ''It is from the prisoner. My lord had ordered us to capture him when he wandered through our land. I believe his name is Hua Tan...''
Brian looked intrigued as he said, ''Where is he held captive?''
~An hour later~
''Sun Quan, please hold on for a little while longer. Lord Brian should be here at any moment,'' Lu Su tried to reassure his former lord who was burning up even worse with each hour that passed by.
''Brother, hold on,'' Sun Shang Xiang wished as placed another cold towel on his forehead and thought, Please hurry, my lord.
It was just then the gallop of horses could be heard, and the figures of their companions appeared in the distance, quickly approaching. Two figures, for Zhao Yun had stayed behind to guide the prisoners back to the camp.
Although Sun Shang Xiang recognized Xing Cai and Brian immediately, the young black-haired man who was sitting behind her lord was unknown in her eyes. Brian stopped his horse abruptly, jumped off, helped his pillion off, and said, ''There he is.''
The unknown man kneeled next to the lying Sun Quan, gave him a quick inspection, and said, ''He has an infection and a fever. He most probably has been bitten by a poisonous insect. This medicine should be able to destroy the poison,'' Hua Tan added as he took his Elixer, slowly lifted Sun Quan's head, and poured a shot in his mouth. Making sure his patient had drunk it all, he whispered, ''Now you just wait and give the medicine the time to its work. Tomorrow morning he should be back to his old self.''
''Thank you very much! I don't know how we could repay you,'' the younger sister responded gratefully.
The doctor turned his eyes on Brian as he answered, ''The gratitude for freeing me is deeper than the debt of this treatment. Thank your Lord for his kindness.'' Hua Tan stood up, bowed to Brian, and added, ''I owe you my life. Although I am no warrior, I can treat your men's wounds after the battle. Please accept my services.''
Brian looked a moment at Xing Cai as a previous conversation roamed his mind before he turned back and respond, ''Although it sounds like a tempting offer, I am in no need for just one doctor on the battlefield. If you still feel like serving me, please become a teacher and teach others your craft. I'll pay you to spread your knowledge to anyone who is willing to follow it. Do you still wish to serve me?''
''You rather wish to use me to enlighten your people than to use me in war? I wish nothing else but to serve such a lord,'' Hua Tan humbly answered. And with both the medicine delivered, the prisoners freed, and Kong Rong defeated, the battle was over.
Brian had always questioned the Dynasty Warriors franchise, or better said, the story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The incorrectness of characters; the romanization of events; the unlikeliness of skill where a man could fight one-on-one against a tiger or could punch a landslide down with just a single punch. Although some mechanisms at least made sense now that he was in the game, the fact he was face-to-face with a tamed tiger made anything but sense.
''I am not even sure what to call you,'' Brian said to himself as he stood up, the mighty beast sitting as a tamed cat patiently waiting for a command. ''What about Azeil?'' he asked. Azeil seemed to like it as its tail wagged from left to right in a way that was unmistakably a good sign. ''Azeil it is. Now, where do I keep you?''
The rear door of his house opened as the figure of another tiger stood in the opening to his garden. Unlike two days prior, Sun Quan's face had regained its original color, and the smile on his face was more than enough to conclude he had regained his good health.
''Sun Quan, I am glad to see you. I assume Hua Tan's treatment was a success.'' Brian said welcomely, the tiger at his feet turning his head to the newcomer.
''Yes, thanks to you. Pardon my intrusion, but I came here to thank you for that,'' the son of the tiger of Jiang Dong responded before he turned to the beast. His eyes began to shine as he asked, ''And who might you be, you beautiful creature?''
They really love their tigers, Brian thought as he answered, ''His name is Azeil. I found him wounded when I was checking the area near the river bank for a future farm. Not sure how tame he is, but it seems he has taken a liking to me after I treated him.''
Sun Quan looked into the beast's eyes before he responded, ''It seems he has accepted you as his leader. Although I doubt he is tame to everyone, he will listen to you without hesitation.''
Brian looked difficult as he confessed, ''That's great and all, but I am not sure where to keep him. I am not certain how much space he needs, and how to raise him. It is good that he follows me, but what if he attacks the villagers, or they attack him?''
''Then he just needs to learn not to attack villagers, and the city people need to be able to recognize him as your partner,'' Another low voice commented as a suspicious figure leaned against the rear door. The tiger reared up and turned around to the sudden voice, but before it could growl, the slick-back man added, ''Do not worry. I might be an evil man, but I owe your master a debt that I have yet to repay.''
''Good morning, Master Fa Zheng. I assume you have a plan on how to achieve that,'' Brian asked with his usual welcoming smile.
''I have, but you owe me after that. My debt against yours. I wonder who will succumb first,'' Fa Zheng grinned as he approached his lord. Just at that moment, Brian received another message in his HUD. Your bond with Fa Zheng has strengthened. That easily? Not much of an evil man if a bond is that easily created, or I am a worse person than I thought I would be. Brian thought as Fa Zheng pulled a blue-collar out of his pocket, gave it to his lord, and said, ''This should be sufficiënt for now. Any more, and it would only be a nuisance to both of you. Go and introduce this little kitten to the city now.''
~Thirty minutes later.~
''To think I would be able to walk through a city where the people see me as their hero instead of the bringer of war. It truly is the start of a new age,'' Sun Quan commented as he rode together alongside his master. ''I have walked far looking for this. Who knew I had to taste defeat before he could see it.'' He smiled as he quickly added, ''It was the best defeat I have ever tasted, for it gave me a friend I could only dream of in the times of turmoil, and a future to look forward to.''
Is this...? Brian wondered as he listened carefully, realizing he was about to complete another bond. ''You saved my life and took care of my people without wishing anything in return. I don't know what more changes we will go through, but our friendship will survive until the end of time.'' Maximum friendship reached. Sun Quan gained the Support Skill Rouse Recovery!
The tiger walking alongside the two men seemed to feel a shift in their bond as the small tension in his shoulders fell, and even its mouth started to relax. Brian nodded to Sun Quan as he responded, ''Indeed. But to make that new age a reality, there is still much we need to do.''
Sun Quan wanted to react, only to see a familiar pair of eyes looking at them from the distance. Realizing there was someone else desperately waiting for some alone time with their lord, he said, ''That is an issue for another time. For now, we should enjoy the little things that stand in front of us.''
Just as Brian was wondering what he meant, Azeil shot forward, running forward in a playful matter to a destination unknown. ''Azeil!'' he shouted in an attempt to stop it, only to realize he was running towards Sun Shang Xiang and Lian Shi. Just as he was about to collide with the two, he stopped in his tracks, jumped onto two feet, and made a gentle attempt to hug the two ladies with his front paws.
As Shangxiang's giggle echoed through the air, Sun Quan lay a hand on Brian's shoulder and whispered, ''I am looking forward to the day I can not only call you my brother in heart,'' before he rode away. Wait a minute. Brian thought as Sun Quan was already out of his sight, and he had recovered from his shock. Did he just consent?
As the tiger returned to his owner, his tail still wagging quickly thanks to the attention he had received, the two girls walked to their leader, both dressed in their casual clothing. ''Good evening, my lord. I see you have made a new friend,'' Lian Shi started with a smile as gently as the breeze of that evening.
''What is his name?'' Shangxiang asked curiously as her eyes sparkled like the moon on this cloudless evening.
Brian was momentarily stunned before he softly slapped himself back to earth and answered, ''Azeil. I found him lying wounded in the eastern parts, near the river. From one thing came another, and apparently, I am his master now.''
''That's amazing. It is difficult to tame a tiger, yet you made it sound so easy,'' Shangxiang responded in awe.
''That explains how you tamed my lady so quickly,'' Lian Shi jokingly added, the young tigress suddenly blushing heavily.
''Shi!'' She let out as an attempt to silence her guardian and close friend.
She wasn't prepared for what came after when Brian smiled and responded, ''I hope I have not. I kinda liked that fiery spirit.'' He gently lay his fingers to the side of her face as he added, ''Although the flowers were beautiful, I am glad you chose to leave them out. They didn't suit you.''
Although they had a clear effect on him, for they had dressed themselves to impress, his presence made their heartbeat beat rapidly as well. Whatever it was his honest truthful eyes as he treated them with an unexplainable kindness and love; his overwhelming charisma as their lord; the kindness he showed to his people; the ideas he came up to use his prisoners to the best of the ability; or just his reassuring strength.
Time passed by until dusk had turned the city into a state of restful sleep. The candles in his city were put out, thus giving full glory to the beautiful view of a thousand stars illuminating the sky in their light. Despite that peaceful image, Brian's mind was not as peaceful.
Although he had enjoyed their date without a doubt, he was aware enough something was off this evening. Lian Shi could hide it well behind her smile, but Shangxiang's increase in nervousness as time passed by was a signal he could not miss. When they arrived at his house, she barely dared to speak a word, and even Lian Shi seemed to hesitate for some reason.
With his tiger resting in his rear garden, covered from any rain by the slant endings of his wooden roof, he turned his attention to the two women and softly said, ''If there is something bugging you, please do not feel afraid to tell me. I mean, I accepted your feelings, so please share them with me.''
He had to say no more. A sudden step forward; a quick pull on his rope; a kiss as inexperienced as one could be but as fierce as no one could be assaulted his lips; Shangxiang had finally broken through her shell. When she finally let him catch a moment to breathe, her expression had changed from nervousness one to a pleading one as she asked, ''Please take my first.''
Lian Shi wasn't planning to give up there as she stepped forward as well. As she kissed Brian, Azeil gave one look back to his master before laying his head on his paws and falling asleep.
Her kiss was more gentle, and if it wasn't for the next words she wasn't going to say, he would have believed she was more experienced in the art of love. ''Please take our firsts.''
A few candles illuminated Brian's bedroom in a humble light, pushing away just enough darkness for his eyes to burn his blessed situation forever into his memory. The first clothing that had been gently laid aside was the shoes. A kiss further, and the lint that kept his robe together split into two, all while his hands were starting their exploration of a territory unknown. Another red lint fell to the ground as Shangxiang's jacket fell open before it was gently pushed off her shoulders, revealing her feminine shoulders.
Lian Shi's eyes were patiently waiting for her turn, and Brian delivered when Shangxiang took a moment to breathe. His kiss was inexperienced but gentle as one hand loosened her bowtie. Her clothing loosened, it revealed a beautiful new area to explore. His thoughts quickly lost to his instincts as he explored Lianshi's collarbone.
''Ah!'' she let in a beautiful moan that only strengthened Brian's urge to continue in the side of her neck while feeling that Shangxiang had found what was hiding underneath his robe. A playful bite and Lian Shi could no longer wait. Gently, she pushed him on the bed as she smiled, and let the remainder of her clothes fall to the floor. He could not focus on that heavenly view for long as Shangxiang did the same, and longed for more than just his eyes.
Pushing himself a bit further up the bed for better positioning, their lips met again. Her tongue entwined before she let a moan to his touch. A warm hand explored her lower back while another was going through her hair. Suddenly, he let a moan as Lian Shi started kissing his nipple, only for her to grin from pleasure as she slowly continued downwards.
Before he knew it, his lower clothing fell to the clear, and his fully naked body was in plain sight for the two women who watching his member with silent awe. Just as Shangxiang wanted to rush things, Lian Shi gently grabbed her hand and whispered, ''That is no good, my lady. You mustn't rush this.'' before she gripped his junior and slowly stroked it up and down.
The effect was clear as Brian's body started to tense, his lips letting out another moan. Shangxiang slowly worked her way down until she was inches away from his pole. She proved a quick learner as she took over Lian Shi's task. However, she had not considered one important thing; her lower parts were defenseless. ''Ah!'' She cried out as an unknown intense sensation assaulted her every fiber, her body tensing up. ''My L..lord... Please don't...Ah!'' She tried to beg as she let out another moan.
Lian Shi looked intrigued at her lover's fingerwork before she grinned, turned around on the bed in a similar position as her lady, and whispered, ''Please don't forget about me, my love.'' Two beautiful butts turned towards him, one of them seductively shaking while the other was twitching to his handiwork. She didn't have to do anything more as his fingers satisfied her inner urges, her body heating up even further as sweatdrops began to form. On the knowledge of books alone, she leaned forward and embraced his member with her lips.
She tried to avoid her teeth as her tongue and lips continued to tease him, both having the desired effect as Brian's noises became louder and heavier. The sounds of her lover broke Shangxiang's restraints as she leaned forward as well, and continued where Lian Shi had stopped. ''Now rem...member m..my lady. No...teeth, ah!'' the guardian tried to say as she succumbed to the pleasure of her lower parts.
Lian Shi could no longer hold it as she turned around, kissed her lover, and let out another moan when he gently pinched her nipples. She bit her lower lip as she knew they were ready. Leaning closer to his ear, she teasingly whispered, ''No more foreplay, my love. I want you now.''
Nothing more had to be said. Changing position, both girls lay on their back, one eagerly waiting while the other one was still a bit nervous. Lian Shi noticed it as she said, ''My love, I am waiting. Please, let us show my lady what she is missing.''
''Okay. Here I come,'' Brian whispered as he guided his pole to her entrance. He teased her by stroking his member just around her weak spot, before lining it and slowly pushing it in. He felt a slight resistance as his penis was enveloped by intense moist heat. ''Are you okay?'' He asked worriedly, as Lian Shi's grip on his arms had increased.
''I...I have to get used to you. Please continue slowly,'' She answered. Her body stiffened as he continued until he was fully in, tears appearing in her eyes. Shangxiang's eyes were mesmerized as she slowly saw her guardian's face relax. Lian Shi threw her arms around Brian's neck as she finally said, ''I..it is okay now. P...please continue.''
Shangxiang's face continued to turn redder as she was witness to their loving making. Her body began to heat up as Lian Shi's moans began to increase in both volume and frequency, her guardian's hands trying to find any weak spots to further increase Brian's rhythm.
Although Shangxiang had never tried it before, her fingers moved almost instinctively between her legs, and her breathing started to increase when she found the right spots. She learned forward towards her lord as she whispery begged, ''Please my lord...don't let me wait any longer. I want to be yours.''
In less than a minute, her body had accepted Brian's member and started to move on its own. ''Ah...Ah!...Please...Don't stop!'' She cried out as overwhelming sensations continued to assault her entire body. Lian Shi looked pleased as she lay on her lady's side, her hand teasing Sun Shang's breast. ''Shi?! Please, don...!'' she tried to say only for another intense sensation to leave her breathless.
''If you don't like it, you can always just tell me, my lady,'' She smiled teasingly as she continued, the cries of pleasure a delight to her ears. So much to her delight, that she couldn't help but be envious of the attention her lady was getting. Stopping her lover, she slid between him and her, leaned above her lady as she held her legs up with her supporting arms, and asked, ''How is this, lord Brian? Please do me as well.''
''No...Not fair...'' Shangxiang uttered as she caught her breath. She stared at Lian Shi as she couldn't do anything except witness how her guardian was succumbing to Brian's animastic urges. Her breasts bounced as her moans grew heavier, and Shangxiang decided it was revenge time.
''Ah!'' Lian Shi cried out as both her nipples were pinched, another intense sensation assaulting her every fiber. ''Wa..Wait..! I..it's too...!'' she could barely bring out as tears appeared in her eyes. ''I..I..am...!'' She tried to warn before her back arched and her body trembled. Her arms gave in, and while heavily panting, she uttered, ''That was...amazing.'' Her lady's eyes spoke as clear as the light of the candles. Understanding she wanted to experience that feeling as well, Lian Shi rolled onto her back and gave her boyfriend a gaze of pure satisfaction and love. ''Please let her feel great as well, my love.''
Shangxiang used her feet to pull him in, embraced his neck with her arms, and whispered embarrassingly, ''P...please. I want you inside me again.''
A beautiful princess laying naked under him, her eyes and voice asking him both to make her his. There was not a single doubt in his mind as he leaned to her lips and kissed her with all the love he could give. A flop and a loud moan indicated they were ready to continue their dance of love.
Her moans became louder as something was rising with each trust, building up from deep within her. Her breathing increased even further, but so did his. ''Shangxiang, I am about to cum,'' He warned as his thrusting became fiercer.
Either the tigress hadn't heard him, or she had already made up her mind as she clamped her legs around his waist. ''Come inside.'' Just in time as Brian reached his climax. The princess could do nothing else but surrender to her femalehood being filled by the man she loved, the additional stimulation bringing her over the edge and overloading her mind and body with a pleasure beyond her comprehension.
As she panted heavily with her lover still hovering above her, she gave him a tired smile as she whispered, ''That was amazing. I love you, you dummy.''
Lian Shi had waited patiently for them to finish, and with a tired but loving gaze, she whispered, ''I love you too, my love. Please let us stay by your side forever.''
Tomorrow would be another day to fight and guide the land into an era of peace. There was still much more to accomplish, to conquer, to adjust, and to strengthen. But for tonight, he could forget any of them. Feeling the strength in his arms deplete, he lay between the two girls, hugged them both closer to him, and answered, ''I love you too.''
Author notes:
That was it for chapter 7. Kong Rong joined the fray; Brian got a tiger companion, based on the many animals you can obtain in the game. Academy preparations are made and the next duel is coming up. The two masterminds of Shu and Jin vs our protagonist.
This was the first lemon I have ever written. It is a bit of practice for the future, so if you have any feedback or just like it, please tell me. I actually did my research and found out premarital intercourse was really just natural back in the time.
Well, that was it for chapter 7. Hope you liked it and until next time. Beyor out!
