《THE CUNNING VIGILANTE》23. The General is In Love
Advertisement
Here he was, any one sound and for sure he would squeak from the nervousness that hovered him up since after the wedding ceremony. The bride was requested to wait in the bridal chamber first and wait for the groom to enter the room.
The wedding had done smoothly, no complications hindered on the wedding hence it was finally done happily. He was now a Feng, he could not believe but it already happened. He gulped his saliva, filling his throat as the nervousness made it dry.
Even if Li Jie wanted to oppose, he still could not defy his husband. And now he was in the bridal chamber, waiting for his chrysanthemum to be plucked by a certain, hungry goat.
Delun approved Li Wei as Li Jie's servant and had his own room in the basement. Li Wei found the place comfortable since the bed and blanket are warm. He only had his worries on his master right now since he knows what is going to happen to him. Li Wei silently lighted a candle on his head and praying for his master's safety.
Meanwhile, any minute now and Delun will go to the bridal chamber and had their first night. Li Jie's body tensed and had his lips twitched. He took off his outer robe and leaned his body on the bed. He kept glancing at the door and his sweat trickled down his forehead. Li Jie was imagining some censored stuffs of himself and the General doing the deed.
That is why, Li Jie's face is as pale as a white paper.
"Dang it! I can't picture myself at all! And damn it! Why is my h*le twitching?!" Li Jie screamed in thoughts as he felt his back kept twitching. In his previous life, as his curiosity he watched gay p*rn on his laptop with a straight face, but after the show ended he could not explain the horror on his face as he imagined the big gong keeps pounding on the little shou.
Imagine his face like this. -_-"
And now he saw that he was going to fall on the same fate, Li Jie wanted to cry but no tears came out. He kept touching his butt with indignation and wrinkled his forehead. Black lines stained his face as he was imagining himself like that little shou on the AV. Li Jie's hair stood up and wanted to dig a hole and bury himself, not wanting go out.
"Right, right! I will cut his d*ck if he dares to put it in me!" He whispered, his body trembled because of his thoughts.
Delun rushed himself to the bridal chamber to see his wife. A scent of faint alcohol lingered on him as he drank with his old companions as well as his brother. He was not drunk but a little tipsy. And as he arrived to the chamber, he saw his wife laying down the bed with his inner robe. His wife was breathing calmly and his eyes were closed peacefully.
Delun sat beside his wife and caressed his cheeks. He rubbed his lips with his thumb and felt how smooth and soft Li Jie's lips are. Delun stared at his wife's innocent sleeping face and felt an indescribable feeling swelled up in his chest.

Delun frowned, he doesn't know why he felt this feeling from a person he barely know. He felt the same feelings as he had with his first love a long time ago, and yes. He was afraid. He was afraid that in the end, he will end up being hurt and devastated. He looked at him and imagined Li Jie ended up with another man. Somehow, he was irritated and angry about it. He stared once again to the delicate young man on his bed. His heart jumped loudly that it almost reached out from the sky. Once again, he traced his fingers to Li Jie's neck. He wanted to mark him. He wanted to embrace him. He thought it was silly that he felt this for Li Jie, but it was real.
Yes, he is in love.
He doesn't know why but he feels it. He cares for Li Jie like no one else does. His proud little heart pounded loudly as he touched the young man. Delun smiled, he climbed up to the bed and slumbered his body facing Li Jie's back. He leaned in closer and hugged Li Jie from behind. Li Jie's scent, like a fresh lavender in the meadow covered his nostrils. He was comfortable. The tips of his nose touched Li Jie's nape resulting him (LJ) who was pretending to be dead felt the warm breath of the General.
Li Jie was ticklish on that side of his body but he endured it for the sake of his chrysanthemum. However, Li Jie was surprised that Delun didn't do anything with him tonight. He thought that this General loved making out. Or maybe, it was because the General didn't like him that's why he didn't make a move.
Thinking about this made him feel relieved. But no matter how relieved he was, he could not sleep because of a certain person hugged him tightly on his back. He was totally uncomfortable.
But still, he fell asleep.

The sun shined brightly on the window. The sunlight struck at Li Jie's fair skin making him winced. He was about to cover himself a quilt when a deep, husky voice echoed behind his back.
"Rise and shine, honey." The moment when Li Jie heard the seductive voice, Li Jie's body stiffened and turned his back facing the sexy face of the General wearing his inner robe.
'Honey?' Li Jie widened his eyes as he met the General's stares. Li Jie swallowed his saliva. He panicked inevitably and was about to fall off from the bed when the General scooped him in his arms and pinned him to the bed.
Li Jie narrowed his eyes and was trying to escape, but no matter how much strength he has, he still couldn't match up with Delun. Li Jie's face was bright red and to Delun, the face that Li Jie was making, was hella hot!
"De-Delun. Um, it is already morning. Uh, well, um..." Li Jie was nervous and scared as hell that he wanted to run away. But judging to Delun's mood now, Li Jie knew that he couldn't escape. But still, he will still find a way to secure his chastity.
"Honey, I'm not ready yet. Please? Let's do this when I'm ready okay?" Li Jie said as he smiled dryly at his husband. Delun licked his lips and stared at Li Jie's heterochromia eyes.

'Is he seducing me? Right in the morning?'
"But you fell asleep last night and left me hanging in the air." Delun smirked as he ran his fingers to his wife's side. Teasing his wife is very adorable, he thought.
"You, I'll cut your d*** if you cross the line."
"Crossing the line? How am I going to do that? You're my wife."
Li Jie pursed his lips and looked at Delun with black lines on his head.
"But we have an agreement!"
"But you know, I'm not good at agreements. You know, I'm a dishonest man."
"You... You tricked me!"
"Darling, I love you too."
Delun showed his beaming smile and pecked Li Jie's lips.
"!!!" Li Jie froze. The warm feeling crept on his lips coming from Delun's pink lips. Delun chuckled on how cute his wife is. He then let go of Li Jie's wrist and caressed his cheeks once more.
"I'm going right now Honey. Be sure to clean up okay?" He pecked into his lips again making Li Jie turned into a statue. Delun got up from the bed and wore his black outer robe. He then fixed his hair and tidied himself and was about to walk out but then he stopped.
"Be sure to eat well Honey." Then he went out. Delun take back his thoughts these previous days. Because, he fell in love with Li Jie truly. All he have to do now is to get Li Jie's love. He doesn't know when he started to love Li Jie, but for now he is glad. He will really pamper this cunning fox with love, even if he is a little fierce.
There is one thing that Li Jie described him...
'Pervert!' Li Jie couldn't even react on the latter's actions just now. But what makes him even more annoyed is that his heart betrayed him fully and flew right in the General's face all the time. He was flustered, but his heart was fluttering at the same time. He scolded his chest for falling from the flirt's trap. Look! He even made Li Jie's adorable face red! Red as an apple!
Li Jie glared at the door and stomped his feet. He secretly murdered Delun inside his head for unconsciously snatching his first kiss.
'My first kiss. My precious first kiss. Good bye virginity! I can't be a monk anymore!'
He touched his lips and the lingering warmth of Delun's lips were still there. What's more surprising is that the kiss or more than a peck, was as wonderful as eating a meat bun.
'I'm totally crazy!'

Before he stepped out of the manor, he noticed a pair of eyes glaring at him from behind. And yes, it was Min Zhe who kept staring at him as if he was the big roach that Min Zhe wanted to kill. Min Zhe then walked towards Delun and offered his salute. Even if he was his brother's husband, he was still his boss. Min Zhe can't disobey him nor badmouth him, in fact he already badmouthed him inside his head. He then straightened his back and held his scabbard.
"General, care to report! The Emperor has been summoned you to the palace for a meeting from all the Minister the day after tomorrow. The Emperor's messenger told me that your presence is highly needed in the meeting so His Majesty tells you to come."
Min Zhe blurted out with a straight face in front of Delun. Delun then nods and said.
"Okay then. Please remind me with the date." Min Zhe nods stiffly and watched the General turns his back at him. But Min Zhe suddenly stopped him and said.
"General, for the sake of my brother, I will accompany you to the palace." The General stopped his tracks and looks back at the latter who spoke.
"...Okay then." Min Zhe and Delun had a cold stare towards each other that the guards nearby felt the cold air surrounding the two.
Jiao-long, who was gloomy since the beginning turned his head towards the General. His fist clenched tightly that he himself also emitted a cold aura surrounding him. But because he was in the shadows, no one have seen him.
He doesn't know why, but he was happy seeing Li Jie again. However, his heart hurt painfully after he saw him on a wedding hanfu with a narcissus mark on his forehea and the General who held his hand and also wore a red hanfu. His eyes felt sore and his chest felt like it was pricked by thousands of needles.
He then looked at the General again and asked,
'Why is that bastard so lucky? It's clear that I saw him first, but why did he grasp him before me? What if he'll only hurt him in the end? And damn, why am I feeling this way towards him? Why am I in love with him dammit!?'
Jiao-long's complicated feelings jumbled on his head as he looked at the General. Anger and sadness overflowed his mind knowing that his beloved was married by someone he hate.
'Damn it! It's too hard to accept!'
Onto the staring competition's side, Min Zhe broke the stare and head back to his post. The guards, who was witnessing such intense scene with the General, were secretly praising Guard 4 because of his bravery. But some had wondered,
Guard: 2: Why is Guard 4 acting like that?
Guard 7: Don't you know? The Main Madame of the Feng now is his brother.
Guard 2: Really?!
Guard 7: You should gossip more.
Guard 2: I'm not a gossiper.
Two guards are whispering to each other and looked at Min Zhe. Now the finally knew why the mighty Guard 4 was hectic these days. It was because of this. And now that they knew, the felt sympathy towards him. The two guards sighed and went back to their post.
Delun was sure about his feelings towards Li Jie. And now, he wanted to prove it to anyone.

Fighting to be Kind in a Cultivation World
Aren't you tired of the typical cultivation story, where an isekai'd person comes into the world and becomes a brutal or selfish person? I know I am. So instead of being fully changed by the world, I want this protagonist to stick to their beliefs and help to change the world (and people) for the better. There will still be main character development and tests of those beliefs, but I want them to maintain that aspect. Brief Synopsis:American is thrown into a typical Xuanhuan cultivation world where the masses of the people are typically sacrificed for the abilities of the few. This is meant to be an alternate take on how protagonists approach these worlds. Main character comes into the world w/ scanning, healing, and monster taming abilities. The release schedule will begin on Dec 1st. The schedule is 2 chapters/week (Tue & Fri) at 11pm. Please like, comment, and follow, as that helps me to gauge interest in the series. Final note: I notice that many cultivation novels treat abuse or sexual assault as a throwaway tool to set a stage. I think the way it is normally done is both lazy and a disrespectful to victims. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve the way I've done it in this series, please let me know. I want to do this the right way. P.S. *Nudge, nudge* If you are looking for a sneak peek of up to 16 chapters ahead, check out my Patreon. :D

Forced Development (What does it truly mean to live a fulfilling life?)
To get things started I would like to admit that this story does not bring much new to the table when it comes to the over-saturated Litrpg genre in terms of things like mechanics and power systems. Then what exactly am I trying to bring to the table with this work? A nice slow-paced novel about people maturing and growing older think of it as the re: zero or jobless reincarnation of Litrpgs. A story that tries to take into consideration how a worldwide system would affect the economics and culture of a world. A story that is much more character-focused than the typical heavy progression-focused novels this genre is known for. The RPG system, like any good power system, is there to actually explore the themes of the story and not just as a plot device for characters to get stronger. This is a story where we will see the growth of the Mc from being a baby to when he dies of old age. With plenty of heart-racing actions and intriguing plot developments along the way. Exploring themes like; What does it mean to improve at something and what does it mean to mature as a person? How does magic, the constant threat of monsters and people so much stronger than the average joe that they can destroy countries affect one's culture both on the micro and the macro scale? How people are affected by the culture in general? Generational trauma Nature vs Nurture Talent vs hard work What is morality, society, and people's opinions on both? What does it mean to be human and what does it mean to be alive in the context of a world with multiple sapient species vastly different from one another in basic biology? All these questions are going to be explored from multiple angles using the system as a catalyst for those discussions. So if any of does questions sound interesting to you what are you waiting for, I'm sure you are going to love this story. PS - Chapter come out every Friday at about the same time.

The Devil's Bride
"I am not sleepy so why don't we tell each other a story?" Her voice was low and raspy and fuck, I'd been lying if I say I wasn't turned the fuck on. "Like what?" I ask swallowing my pride and probably my sense of direction. Her skin was on top of mine, in contact, burning. "I don't know." She says taking her time to adjust herself on my lap. I had to grip the chair for support feeling all my breath vanish from my lungs. "Maybe a short bio about yourself." She advocates placing one of her hands on my chest. I feel the contact through my shirt, my eyes trained on every movement of hers. The worst of it all was that she is unaware of what she was doing to me. "Uh-" I feel my words shorten. On impulse, I grab her by her waist for support instead. Leaning back painfully on the single chair. "You're so cute when you're confused!" She giggles going ahead to move slightly on my lap. I blow out a groan feeling my erection harden.
