The Fat Dong's Rule 7 - (Supernatural Asia, DongZhuo!SI)
I know, I know- my most recent acquisition felt like a justifiable sex slave if I have ever heard of a situation like this one.
Bratty dragon that wanted employment and shelter even though she confessed to using divine tools to screw with my plans. I would say this was setting up to be something like that but... I was wary. Very wary. After all, the divine was not always too clear on their purposes.
So, when the letter I received by the cheeky woman, allegedly written by the God of Fate himself, told me that she was to be my indentured servant for years, I saw no mention of sexual inclinations to such punishment. And as much as I felt tempted to disregard this lack of detail, I knew one thing: no one fucks with the divine, especially when the divine can easily strike you down.
Thus I hadn't Wushe slob after my cock, but rather I had her slave after the paperwork since 'she loved to pass time writing'. She was monitored, shrieked at by some of my harem members assigned to monitor her progress, and 'taught how to be a proper adult'.
It was a fitting punishment, yet far from one that was as depraved as she had imagined- the bratty dragon even had the nerve to whine over the chores. Still, I kept my calm and... focused on the worst bit of this development: despite my early assumptions that we wouldn't be facing any issues from the Mongols, the next day Wushe was 'taken in' was also the day that I received news that Xianbei tribes had intruded in Xiongnu's domain and pushed them to relocate southward- which meant far too close to the capital and my current fief.
With that in mind, rather than 'play it safe', I decided that it was time to bring the Xiongnu under control of the Empire at once and I dispatched Lu Bu to have fun with that chore. It wasn't going to trigger any worrisome major invasion from Xianbei, not when their limited expansion had not been sanctioned by higher authorities in their tribes, but that didn't mean that surprise wouldn't come from this.
So, I penned a letter to Zhang Yang to provide assistance in return of expanding his current province. Another letter was dispatched to other warlords to warn them of potential 'horde-related woes' and to be ready to defend their borders. They may not be my 'friends', but they were fellow imperial 'governors' that would not dare to break ranks without a fair enough reason.
Alas, there was a major development in terms of internal businesses- the Empress was pregnant. And many thought it is the late Emperor the father. Timing-wise, it barely made sense, while also providing me with some cover for the time being as the woman was unwilling to have anything intensely sexual while handling her pregnancy.
A fair request, but one that actually felt weird as I hardly had any 'relief' when I showered after training. I didn't mention this to the woman as I didn't want to give her fuel to set me on fire with rumors or troublesome blackmail, but I was surprised when she picked up on it and... she offered a solution while smiling.
"I believe there may be someone that could help you with that. Of course, she may be a bit nervous at first."
I actually thought (and worried) she was referring to a certain Lu Bu's secretary, but this fear of mine vanished when I realized she was already off with Lu Bu to face the Xiongnu tribes. So, I was a bit confused by who could be interested in this affair (and knowing it from the beginning but being quiet over it).
So, I was quite intrigued when, after going through another training session with Huaman, I walked up in the baths and found her mother waiting for me there. Lady Zhurong was worthy of ogling when she was there in just a skimpy bikini-like outfit.
The sight of her muscles was indeed endearing, and I could even see some of her unshaved pubes out of her panties as she sat and waited for me. A sight of my naked self had her tense up, but her eyes wandered where it mattered and most of her regrets seemed to vanish at once.
Despite that lovely set up, I didn't plow her that first time. Zhurong was nervous, reluctant, and so we kept only to 'wash each other up'. Even though she was far from at ease, her hands sure wandered a lot around my body, touching and testing as she got a taste of 'me'. Kissing was fine, and she mellowed significantly through groping and smooching.
After depleting her stamina a fair bit, I held her close and asked her a simple thing:
"How about you join us in our outdoor training? I am sure your daughter wouldn't mind having you around."
She was reluctant, she didn't want to 'ruin it for us'. But, after some more convincing, the woman did join us the next day. Huaman was ecstatic and quick to show her mom her progress. It was a lovely sight, and one that seemed to further break into Zhurong's unease over potential relations with me.
After all, the next bathing started a rather interesting ritual that was akin the one I had with Empress He, but that escalated as Zhurong's stamina was incredible after she got more accustomed to proper sex. Once any inhibitions got thrown out, the woman sure got extremely close to me, to the point that it came very 'clutch' to not be caught in the act by a very naive and unexpecting Huaman a few times.
As much as I saw the beauty of the girl, I felt she was too young and inexperienced to be subjected to the sight of her mother sucking my cock as if she was a high-grade whore. That being said, Zhurong was far from that- as much as she was a slut under the sheets, she also turned in a surprisingly loving woman the moment this sexual escalation unfolded.
I just had this feeling she was trying to be my wife or something, which was kind of cute and kind of worrying if she got any more 'possessive' of me. I had a few guesses on why she behaved like this, mostly due to the tribal view on women and her being a warrior first truly put pressure onto her by her husband, someone that got to her through an arranged marriage.
With the court drama and the external expansion unfolding, I was also wary of the one thing that kept on happening without much of a warning-
The fact that other warlords in the north were slowly expanding their domains.
Cao Cao was not a fool when it came to long-term planning, and he saw how the cautious administration promoted by Dong Zhuo was shredding away any potential chance of using the excuse of 'tyranny' to remove him from power.
The death of Yuan Shao also galvanized the stability of the Luoyang government despite its puppet-like connotation. As a man of grand wisdom, Cao Cao saw things as they truly were- Dong Zhuo was a good player in this sort of games, working first to acquire back the loyalty of those in the south that had less worries over his control, and then slowly encroaching into the land owned by the northern governors.
That being said, Cao Cao didn't harbor any foul feeling towards the fat man, rather he saw him as a hurdle to the ambitions Cao Cao had for a while now: an Empire with his dynasty on top, fitting for a man with his kind of intellect.
Yet, such a chore could not be done without some proper plotting. And without Yuan Shao, a coalition against Dong Zhuo was nigh-impossible to muster with those that were treated 'less' by the man. It was even more frustrating to know so many beautiful women were already there in his court- how many of them were his mistresses and concubines?
Cao Cao was indeed stuck between ideals and morals. The craving of greed matched by his own intelligence over the current status quo. While his domain was not as grand as he had wanted, his alliance with Bao Xin had created a form of stability that couldn't be disregarded.
Their first move after consolidating enough troops was to expand northward: the domain of Han Fu was far from stable- the lingering Yellow Turban rebels had weakened his resolve, and the civil war in Yuan Shao's former domain guaranteed a degree of intimidation.
Han Fu was a loyalist to Dong Zhuo, but he barely sent report to the capital as he sought out to expand himself into the former territory of Yuan Shao. Cao Cao thus settled to launch a northward thrust into Han Fu's domain, proclaiming treachery through papers that highlighted a corrupted relationship between Han Fu and Yuan Shao to 'destabilize the empire'.
Truth be told, Cao Cao had been approached by Yuan Shao himself with similar letters, but the man had died prematurely to make this glorious idea of a coalition happen. So, while the coalition was dead on arrival, Cao Cao saw fit to use some of that dangerous evidence to warrant expansion. The treachery was extended to Kong Rong, giving Bao Xin enough reason to attack the peninsula and claim it as his own. The approval of Liu Bei further allowed for this invasion to unfold smoothly within the matters of mere months.
Right as the mid-point of 190 struck, Cao Cao had defeated Han Fu and split his territory with Liu Bei, while Bao Xin proved himself superior to the clumsy military attitude of Kong Rong, overrunning the defenders and doubling the size of his domain.
Cao Cao was pleased with the end result, most of the Northern region was now under either his control or under his allies' domination. The 'Triple Alliance' had indeed consolidated enough power to eventually be a threat to Dong Zhuo's manipulations as he was busy with the mongols coming from Xiongnu.
All that they needed was a window of opportunity as they prepared for- an opportunity tied to the pace of Lu Bu and his successes in his northward assault.
As 191 approached, the fragile peace of Northern China was on the verge of a major collapse - it was now time to see if Dong Zhuo was ready to half-a-Romance or not.
