《Return of the Soldier King》Chapter 35 Meeting Again
Advertisement
"What are you doing here?" Facing this beautiful woman, Ye Fei remained expressionless. Not because Liu Manman was not beautiful, but because he just didn't like her style.
"I should ask you the same. I come here a lot, but I’ve never seen you here before." Liu Manman smiled and raised her glass with a slender hand, "Cheers!"
Ye Fei smiled and took a little sip. When he put down his glass, he saw that she had emptied her whole glass of Hennessy.
"Hey, are you trying to make me lose face?" Liu Manman's cheeks flushed red, which only served to make her look more endearing. When she saw Ye Fei barely touch the glass with his lips, she felt a little peeved.
"The drinks here aren’t to my taste," Ye Fei shrugged. "If you come here often, you must be quite familiar with this place, right?"
"Of course," said Liu Manman. "Not only the Burning Bar; I'm familiar with all the nearby clubs. Why do you ask? Do you want me to take you to a better place? Sure, I can take you... But..." A hint of trepidation flashed in her eyes as she glanced over her shoulder.
"I was just wondering about Fire Dragon. You know him, right? Is he here tonight?" Ye Fei asked conversationally.
Liu Manman seemed to see something alarming somewhere on the noisy dance floor. She looked a little panicky, answering absently, "Fire Dragon? Sure, he’s here. I saw him upstairs just now."
"Thank you! You've been a great help." Ye Fei drained the glass of dark brown liquor and stood up, ready to go upstairs to meet Fire Dragon.
"Wait a minute." Liu Manman suddenly grabbed onto his arm, her chest tightly pressed against him.

Ye Fei froze. He only met this sexy woman twice and they had only exchanged a few casual words. What was she doing grabbing him?
Liu Manman's slender white arm draped around Ye Fei’s neck as she looked at him affectionately, sticking out her pink tongue to quickly lick her lips. Her sex appeal was irresistible.
Ye Fei was right. If these were ancient times, Liu Manman would be a dangerous beauty just like Daji and Bao Si.
A femme fatale.
It must be a lot of trouble to have a relationship with such a woman.
Still lost in that thought, Ye Fei suddenly felt a sweet and soft touch on his lips, mixed with the intoxicating bouquet of alcohol.
Incredibly, Liu Manman kissed Ye Fei in full view of the whole noisy and disorderly bar. The various guys casting discreet glances at her were so jealous they wanted to beat Ye Fei to a pulp.
“How could that son of a bitch get so lucky?!”
“Is he that hottie’s new boy toy?”
"He must be her boy toy!"
They wanted to be her boy toys too.
The sound of shattering glass rang out across the hall.
"You looking to die, you fucker? How dare you touch my girl?!"
A man in casual clothes angrily stomped over from the middle of the dance floor. He looked handsome, but his face was full of indignation. There was a broken beer bottle in his hand.
Ye Fei slowly pushed Liu Manman aside, staring sternly into her eyes. "What’s going on? Is he your boyfriend?"
Liu Manman's body trembled slightly, like a wounded fawn. "I... Ye Fei, please help me again. His name is Fang Mu and his dad is the CEO of the Heng Yuan Group. He’s a rich spoiled brat. I don’t like him, but he keeps harassing me because he thinks he’s God’s gift to women or something. Please, just get him to leave me alone! I will repay you."

Ye Fei frowned. "That’s none of my business!" He almost wanted to give her a piece of his mind.
He didn't know what happened between Liu Manman and the young man she called Fang Mu, but he knew he definitely didn’t want to get involved in their dispute.
Besides, he assumed she was just trying to play him.
A woman like Liu Manman was as cunning as she was beautiful. Any man who helped her because he coveted her beauty would fall deeper and deeper into her web until he was completely under her thumb.
Her act pissed Ye Fei off. Did she really think he was that much of a sucker? All she did was buy him a drink and now she expected him to offend the son of a powerful tycoon for her? Yeah, right!
Of course, Ye Fei was not actually afraid of offending Fang Mu. He just didn’t want to play along with Liu Manman’s tricks.
Did she think every man in the world would immediately lose his head over her because she was hot? Hardly.
Ye Fei chose to retreat. He pushed Liu Manman away and turned to leave.
Fang Mu thought Ye Fei was scared of him, so he allowed himself to become cocky. "Are you scared, you fucking coward? Stay where you are! I will make you bleed tonight!" he shouted.
The crowd of onlookers around them gave Ye Fei scornful looks.
"Ha-ha, what a coward!"
"What a shameless guy. Even if he’s afraid, he should at least put up a little resistance in front of his woman."
"Is he a man or not?"
"What did she even see in him?"
Ye Fei stopped in his tracks and shot a humorless glance at Liu Manman. She had this all planned out from the beginning.
He couldn't retreat.
And since he couldn't retreat...
Ye Fei had an idea. He was going to give this scheming woman a run for her money.

Of Men and Dragons, Book 2
Jack, S'haar, and all their family are back. After crashing his ship on an underdeveloped world, Jack found friends and family among the terrifying cat-lizard natives of the world, but now mere survival is no longer enough. They must carve out a new home for themselves in the landscape of the now rapidly changing world. Raiders, politics, and even nature threaten their happiness and their lives while they struggle to deal with the nightmares and traumas of yesterday. They'll need to depend on each other more than ever if they hope for their new home to have any kind of future. In case you missed it, here's book one. ATTENTION: This is soft sci-fi rather than hard sci-fi, hence why I chose that tag. For those of you unfamiliar with the distinction, here's what Wikipedia had to say. 1. It explores the "soft" sciences, and especially the social sciences (for example, anthropology, sociology, or psychology), rather than engineering or the "hard" sciences (for example, physics, astronomy, or chemistry). 2. It is not scientifically accurate or plausible; the opposite of hard science fiction. Soft science fiction of either type is often more concerned with character and speculative societies, rather than speculative science or engineering. The term first appeared in the late 1970s and is attributed to Australian literary scholar Peter Nicholls.

Ebony Chitin - Eclipse
Richard Adams is something of a talented alchemist. One of the few magical professions that have anything to do with some kind of science. Everything was going swimmingly, until the 'cold night' incident happened. With it being determined as his fault, that such a thing happened. He was promptly exiled until he could return to Eclipse with a new 'discovery' for his field. What he didn't expect; was that he'd run into a strange humanoid monster that could seemingly heal any life threatening wound in a matter of seconds. Certainly this would be what he needs to become a master alchemist. The first step on a multi series journey. Please excuse the earliest chapters and their poor grammer. Ebony Chitin follows Richard Adams, and Mimi on their Journey to understand each other and the world around them. Due the the exploratory nature of such a claim, it will cover many different topics. This was my first attempt at actually writing a story, and because of that I will not edit it. I'd suggest reading the second part as it comes out as most of the things within this book will be recapped. Though if it becomes popular I hope it might inspire some of you readers to write your own stories. Cover Art by Rose Dragon

Tesla Stone and the World of Smoke and Mirrors
R0Q-T357-Alpha (callsign: Rock) is a "Core Child," an irredeemably-crippled test tube baby modified and repurposed by an advanced U.S. military project to serve as the CPU for two-thirds of America's orbital defense systems. Though no one outside of the Pentagon has ever heard of him, he protected his homeland from three ICBMs, a Pacific theatre invasion fleet, and one rogue asteroid. Now, after twenty-seven years of distinguished service from "birth," he is being honorably discharged into civilian life. The only problem is that "civilian life" isn't exactly livable for a glorified brain in a jar. How does a couple pounds of grey matter surrounded by five tons of life support systems and enough co-processing enhancements to take over the planet enjoy an early retirement when he's surrounded by overzealous politicians, corporate spies, and foreign agents after military secrets? The real world isn't that forgiving.

The WereLionesses Mate
She was running out of breath, but that didn't matter, all that mattered was getting away from him and proving him wrong. Branches scraped her face and her arms, her body burning hot; but cold from her sweat as the wind blew over her skin. Her pants soaked from running through the streams, her shirt ripped to shreds around her stomach from very low hanging branches. Her hair, a tumbling fiery mess of tangles, and waves slipping through the ponytail she had quickly fastened trying to tame her wild hair. Running and crawling on the ground through the forest floor, trying to get back to the camp grounds so Whhooossshhhh! All of a sudden a giant gust of wind flew past her nearly lifting her off the ground and throwing her into a tree. Where in the world did that wind come from? She thought, but she kept running like it had never happened. She jumped over a fallen log, ignoring the fact that she almost fell in the process. She zoomed past all the trees and sprinted over the roots coming out of the ground. She rounded another tree coming to a sudden halt at seeing him standing there with a drink in his hand laughing and joking. She stood there wondering how in the world he could have beaten her here; He looked at her then, He looked, well, handsome, his faced was clean shaven and his button up shirt was all unbuttoned minus the three at the bottom. She could still visibly see his bronze chest and the top of his ripped-hard abs. He walked over to her and smiled, showing all of his teeth, the smile reaching his eyes. His eyes were dark and stormy, their color was usually a nice honey brown but now his eyes looked mid-night black. They looked like they could kill a man at eighty paces, but could sweep a woman off her feet at the same time.
