《I'm Not An Emperor's Sweetie Pie! (BL)》Chapter 8
Advertisement
Madam Mu was passing by when she saw Xiao Jia in a garden leisurely eating grapes with other girls.
"Xiao Jia, what are you doing here and not serving Lord Fu and his companion?" She angrily shouted while walking over.
Startled, the grape on the way to Xiao Jia's mouth slipped to the ground, rolling away. Xiao Jia looked at it disappointedly for moment then straightened up, seeing madam Mu coming over.
"The new girl is attending them."
"What new girl?" She asked, irritated.
"The new girl... what was her name again...? Ah, yeah, Li Na!"
Lady Mu's face went stiff. "What are you saying! She's coming tomorrow, not today."
"Then...," Xiao Jia gulped. "Who's that girl–"
"Come with me." Before she could finish, madam Mu cut her off, turned around and hurriedly walked toward Lord Fu and Lord Song's room.
Who the hell is attending them!? If something happened, it would be my head rolling on the ground!
Xiao Jia stood up and hurried after madam.
***
As they entered, the two women bowed in respect and greeted the lords.
Lord Song - one of the mysterious friends of Lord Fu - seldom visited Red Tulip. But lord Fu was a frequent one and he was from the Royal family, so no one tried to offend him or his companions instead tried to win his favor. Madam Mu was no different as she, too, sought for lord Fu's favor.
"Madam Mu, I congratulate you for bringing in such a talent to Red Tulip. Dancer like her are rare in Empire." Fu Liwei praised. "I'll tell my eunuch to reward you and Xiao Lin later."
At the mention of money, Madam Mu's eyes brightened. Whatever she was going to complain about the girl, she stopped. Deciding to question this Xiao Lin girl later and accepted the compliment.
"Thank you my Lord. Since she is new, I was worried that she might offend the lords. That's why I came to check. I apologize for disturbing the lords."

Xiao Lin frowned, looking at madam Mu wondering why she lied.
***
"Ah, my lord, don't squeeze them so hard. Enn...ahh...ohh!"
Xiao Lin was feeling super uncomfortable and embarrassed. Face boiling. Hands trembling. Body sweating. But who can blame him for such a reaction. He had been a virgin his whole life. Never dated or kissed anyone.
One can say, he had pretty low libido in his old life. He didn't even like watching porn or masturbating unlike his peers. But now, he was forced to listen to live porno happening in adjoining room which he suspected was a bedroom. The shameless voices even coming to sitting room.
And that's not all! This masked man called Lord Song kept on staring at him with his cold eyes, observing his every reaction while sipping his wine. Xiao Lin felt like fainting from intense pressure of staring and shameless voices travelling to this room.
After dismissing musicians and madam Mu, Lord Fu took that beautiful lady called Xiao Jia into the bedroom. And now they were having fun in there.
Seeing the empty cup being placed in front of him, Xiao Lin grabbed the wine pitcher to refill the cup but found it empty.
"It has gone empty. I'll go and fetch another one." Xiao Lin said, standing up.
"Ah...slow down...lord fu! Ah...please...!"
But distracted by moans, his foot got stuck in his robe while standing up and stumbled onto a hard muscled and broad chest. Hands reflexively grabbing other's shoulder while his face landing in the crook of other's neck. Sprawled awkwardly on other man.
The empty wine pitcher fell with a thud and broke.
What's happening with me today! Ahhh!!! He screamed internally.
Face red like tomato glanced up only to find the other man's piercing eyes looking back.
"Sorry," Xiao Lin mumbled and immediately tried to get up. But a strong arm snaked around his waist, pulling him into the man's hot body with unyielding strength, seizing the small body.

Alarm bells of danger rung in his head. Xiao Lin started to struggle in vain to escape.
What's up with this man? Why is he so strong?! Even thought we're both men!!
After coming to this world, this was the first time his man pride got a blow like that. There was a huge difference between their strength! No matter how much he struggled; the arm won't budge even a little.
Panting with exertion, he looked up to meet the other's amused eyes.
"Let me go, Lord Song," he said through gritted teeth. He was beginning to get angry but still fearful.
The other's amused smirk only made him more mad.
"This is the last warning, let me go, respectable lord Song. If you don't, then don't blame me for what I'm going to do." He warned.
Though Xiao Lin tried to appear courageous boy, forgetting he was pretending to be girl. But in the other man eye's he only looked like an angry kitten.
"Sure, go ahead. Show me." Replied the man, like challenging him. This irked Xiao Lin to no end.
He jumped at the white neck in front and bit it, hard, making it bleed.
Surprised by the other's action, the man's eyes went a little wide, turning red. A deep throat chuckle escaped his lips. The bite only felt like a itch to him. Unfortunately for Xiao Lin, it only made the other man excited.
Metallic taste filling his mouth, only then did Xiao Lin realized what he had done. Thinking he had gone a bit too far, injuring the other, he leaned away immediately.
But before he could lean away completely, hot breath fanned his neck making the kitten stiff. Scorching tongue licked the crook of his neck, sending electric shock through Xiao Lin's whole body. He heard a dark chuckle from the man. Early bravado vanishing, Xiao Lin only felt dread now.
"Ah..!" Escaped a painful cry. Xiao Lin bit his lower lip to stop unsuccessfully any more sound from coming out.
The man sunk his teeth in tender flesh of trembling body wrapped protectively in his arms.
He licked away the blood and soothed the broken skin. Then, he looked down at the kitten in his arms whose face was red, lower lip bruised and misty eyes which seemed be accusing him for his pain looking up to meet his own.
Xiao Lin was in pain. And felt a little disoriented. He looked up only to meet red eyes. Before he could comprehend why was he seeing red eyes, his lips were captured by the other one's. That cleared his mind enough to momentarily forget the pain, stunned. Realizing the shameless person stole his first kiss, he immediately tried to push the other man away but in vain.
The scorching tongue forced its way through and entered the hot mouth. Roaming every corner, checking, claiming and easily conquering.
Xiao Lin thought to bit the other's shameless tongue but then thought better of it. What if the other bit his tongue too, like his neck? His neck was still throbbing, he didn't want his tongue to be injured too.
Brutal; intense kiss was never ending. He struggled a new, beating against other's chest, feeling suffocated.
Finally, the man leaned away. Xiao Lin inhaled sharply for the lost air, panting hard.
"Ahh...!"
Suddenly, an intense pain coursed through Xiao Lin's whole body making his teary eyes to shut tightly. It seemed like energy seeped out of his body. If the man wasn't holding him in his arms, he would have fallen backwards. The pain was so intense that he finally lost consciousness.
Seeing the red markings appearing around the slender neck, like some kind of collar, of an unconscious little body in his arms, the Emperor was satisfied.

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.

The Rocky Shore
This is a LitRPG series. Every story you read here takes place in the same virtual world, with the same rules and limitations. Characters will travel, explore vast and dangerous realms, overcome obstacles, meet one another, enter into conflicts with one another, forge alliances, make horrible mistakes, and occasionally just die. A technological singularity has been achieved, and humanity has been trapped in a virtual world by a super-intelligent, self-improving artificial intelligence. This program is not malicious at all. In fact, it desires nothing except the happiness and fulfillment of every human it has copied into itself. If its decisions seem strange to you, that's only because its reasoning is far beyond ours. It recognizes that humans cannot be happy without enemies to overcome and goals to achieve, as well as the possibility of failure and death. The world it has created may be heaven or hell, depending on the free choices of the people it contains. The non-player characters who live in this realm have no idea that they are part of a vast computer system. They seem real enough, but there is no way to tell if they are truly self-aware. Even the system that created them isn't certain. This is world in which all the things that humans are used to dealing with in the abstract: skills, talents, knowledge, reputation, social status, morality, even love, exist as readable statistics that players can see and interact with objectively. This has many curious and complex effects on how people perceive themselves and the world around them. A few quick notes on the system: -Death is permanent -The system interface can only be accessed at certain locations. -Magic of diverse kinds is available and useful, but is not a good substitute for skills, physicallity, or mental prowess. Non-magical characters are common and competitive. -There is no inventory system. Characters must physically carry everything they wish to have on their person. -Healing is slow and difficult. Magical Healing is all but unheard of. Protagonists: Raymond Garrison- A man in his late twenties who used to work as a forklift operator in Idaho. His path leads him to work as a mercenary, protecting a small community of humans and goblins from the Seelie Fae who wish to exterminate them. Patricia Chandler- A elderly British woman who arrives in this new world with her grandson Kyle and her granddaughter Elizabeth. Never having dealt with rpg game mechanics before, she is in for a rough time, but she is determined to keep her grandkids alive in a world full of danger and evil. Jamil Mesbah- An Egyptian woman who once worked as a technical writer. Her path leads into a vast and hostile forest, where she must master both her magical abilities and her survival skills in order to succeed. Enjoy your travels, friends.

Age of Regression
[Author's Thoughts] Dropped, obviously. Still, it's my first attempt at a novel and I do love what I did with it. Big step towards learning. Far in the past, there was a civilization much more advanced than the one of modern times. Evidence of that time remains, but it is all but shrouded in mystery as there remains no way to decipher it. Currently, normal individuals wage war with guns and smaller machinery, but those who can wield a higher power vary in their abilities. Scales, born upon humans, are a mystery in their origins but are the source of their abilities and their way towards advancement. Although normally powerless, humans have adapted to the scales and thus can connect with the power of the universe, much like the other races that inhabit its various corners. In one of these corners, there exists a human settlement where Lancing follows his father's footsteps to begin his own ascent to power. However, he finds he is far different from his gifted father, whose scales below his eyes were among the purest ever seen, reaching gem-like quality. Far from perfect, Lancing shows no desire to give up and ceaselessly moves forward to reach the peak of the universe. However, he begins to notice that the mysteries of the universe slowly begin to unravel in front of his eyes. To reach the heavens, Lancing must carve his own path.

Prime Magus of Earth
"In the beginning, I had no idea what was going on. My brother and friends were gone, my sight was gone, and yet I still saw things, things about this world that no one else knew. I'm not special, or gifted, anyone could have done what I did. I just got lucky, especially after everything that happened afterwards. Magic already existed, it always had. Humans just didn't know how to do it, didn't know how to nuture that small spark in them. Now you do." - Prime Magus of Earth, Alexander Sorin. November 2021 Update: So, it has been four years since I stopped working on this. Reading back, the first "book" is finished. It has what feels like an ending to an arc. Now it isn't a perfect story but I still like it and I can see myself starting the second book, might even this on Amazon or something. My biggest regret was never coming up with artwork for the cover though. Maybe I'll look into it.
