LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN TIGRESS

The officials who already supported Prince Kang before came forward to make him the next Emperor and there were some officials who were used to live in their corrupt ways during the last Emperor"s reign, tried to oppose them and tried to push someone from their side as the Monarch suggesting a regime change.

But all of their plans were thwarted when the Nian family extended their support to Prince Kang and so Prince Kang was decided to be the next Emperor unanimously and the official responsibilities were handed over to him.

Preparations were going on in full swing for s.h.i.+fting everything from the Prince"s Manor to the Inner Palace and the Courtyard for the Emperor and the Empress were modified according to their tastes.

The destroyed Audience Hall of the Fire Empire was rebuilt as it was before during the Lu Monarchy and a new throne was built. Thousands of workers were hired to finish the work as soon as possible for the Coronation a month from now.

Chenglei went out for a walk in the palace that day he woke up to see the audience hall destroyed by her since Prince Kang told him that the Wind Kingdom should compensate for the repairs since it was destroyed by their envoy.

Chenglei just chuckled and pa.s.sed it off as a joke until he saw the damages she had "allegedly" done. That was too bad of a damage, he must agree but they deserved it.

Chenglei was also informed that all the horses are refusing to cooperate with them and more than half of the horses from their Imperial stables that were imported are now staying by their port and are refusing to get back to the stables.

"That pet.i.te woman did all this? And that too for me? ", He wondered and how that little woman could hold such power in her was incomprehensible for his brain.

That woman! His woman! The one who cries easily and sleeps a lot! That one who loves her bath more than anything...

He was told by Bai Li that she almost started a war between the three realms to wake him up.

Does she love me that much? I cannot wait any longer.

On the third day Chenglei brought a bowl of porridge into the bedchamber. The thin muslin curtains waved beautifully in the wind and through the curtain, her beautiful face looked like a freshly bloomed lily.

He placed the porridge on the side and sat beside her and without his knowledge his fingers were already gently tracing her blushed cheek.

"Hey, JiaXing!", he called her but there was no response from her except the corner of her lips that lifted a bit.

"JiXing", he called again with a little tune in his voice. "Wake up... You haven"t eaten anything proper these past couple of days... Milk is not food, get up and eat this porridge", he gently squeezed her cheek.

That was so soft!

He bent near her face and gently ma.s.saged her cheeks with his palms. Her supple lips pouted as he did that, making it more alluring and her sweet smell stirred up his inner desires.

He gulped seeing her eyebrows slightly twitching and sat up straight as he felt his heart beating in his throat.

What is this? What am I doing to a sleeping woman?

His hand was still on her cheek and as he sat straight, his hand dragged down her neck and as if it had a mind of its own, pulled down her collar and even found its way inside her robe and got in contact with her warm skin.

Ah, how smooth and warm...

Before he knew it, his hand explored deeper and went further south of her neck but it paused at the slightly coa.r.s.e surface where her scar was.

How annoying! Why is it still there....? As long as it is there won"t she get reminded of her past love?

Chenglei stood up and got to the drawer where he got a new vial of salve from the best medical store of the Fire Kingdom.

I"ll see how you stay on her anymore, you d.a.m.ned scar!

He smirked evily and got to her and untied her robe that was already messy with his previous deed and applied that salve lavishly on her scar.

JiaXing! You cannot have someone else in your heart! I will hold you close to me and make you think only about me.

"Mmm", Xing who was still asleep felt cold on her chest and searched for her blanket to cover herself.

For Chenglei who was beside her with completely different thoughts most of them were l.u.s.tful,her Jade like hand with perfectly slender fingers searching, felt like they were calling for him and he bent towards her and her hands naturally clasped to his clothes and she even had a peaceful expression on her face.

"Wake up, woman!", he gently poked her cheek. "Haven"t you slept enough?". He observed her and he could see her lips parting slightly adding more allure to her and he could feel his abdomen hearing up.

"Wake up...", he pinched her nose close and even then she didn"t wake up and so he let go of her nose.

This woman! Are you that tired?

He observed her face devoid of any makeup. She even didn"t take a bath for a couple of days and she still smelt nice.

Her face... It looked so smooth and flawless... Like a moon... No, moon has blemishes, she doesn"t... Like a moon washed in milk... And those lips... Like a freshly picked cherry... Waiting to be devoured....

He could feel her breaths on him and his heated breath fell on her too. That hot night they had together came to his memory and made his throat dry.

Xing felt that warm cus.h.i.+on covering her and what followed was the blossom scent of her man.

It must be another dream... Xing giggled in her sleep and as expected when she stretched her hand she could wrap her arms around that neck she was accustomed to.

"Chenglei...", she grinned and Chenglei who was tightly held by Xing let out a sigh as he couldn"t hold back anymore.

"You asked for it...", he said softly before merging his lips with hers and she accepted it and both of them ensued in a fiery battle with their lips and soon their tongues joined the frey.

"Wake up, woman!", he said slightly biting her lips and she opened her eyes for a second before closing it and resumed kissing him.

"You...", he couldn"t even compose himself before her hands went straight to his belt.

This woman knows her way to the belt! He thought as he disrobed her and kissed her ears.

She loves it if I kiss there.

As he expected, her legs wrapped around his waist and a soft moan escaped her lips.

One by one their clothes were thrown on the floor. Chenglei wasn"t so sure she was fully awake and he wasn"t in the mood to a.s.sure it too.

"Xing...", he hissed in her ear as he thrust in her. He almost finished the moment he entered her but paused to compose himself. Its been a while he"d been intimate with her and he felt ashamed for being like this.

"Why stop, Chenglei?",she was impatient and started moving her waist and he held her waist to stop grinding.

Ahhh, woman! If you do that I"ll...

He composed himself and after sometime started to move and after tangling together for a long time and making her reach ecstacy many times, he reached the peak releasing himself inside her.

She slept immediately and he laid beside her spooning her and before he knew it both of them were asleep.

Chenglei who woke up in the middle of the night saw her still sleeping and cleaned her up and changed her robes.

Seeing the maids giggling and talking among themselves with their face blushed, made him realise that their act in the evening might have been noticed by them. She moaned a bit louder and they were not in their Manor where Lin Mubai would have driven out the maids until the morning.

Well, whatever... What happened happened... And she is my wife!

The next morning Xing woke up and felt her entire body hurting.Yet she felt refreshed as she stretched herself sitting in the bed.

What a dream! She thought. Chenglei was really hot! And he really knows what to do.. I must have been missing doing "it" to have such a dream. Ahhh!

She screamed in her head.

"Finally you decide to wake up! ", Chenglei"s charming voice was heard and she saw him holding a tray of porridge.

"I"m hungry", she stood up and ate three bowls of porridge and only then she felt like her stomach was pacified.

She looked at Chenglei, ethereal as always eating elegantly. The morning sun fell on his face making perfect contours and his lips were adorable and... Why is there a bite mark on his neck?

"You went and screwed around while I was sleeping?", her face twisted with anger as she pointed at his neck.

It could be some insect bite... She then comforted herself. Since when did Chenglei run around behind women? He is a good boy! She knew.

Chenglei who was eating blinked his eyes wondering what she meant and touched his face where she mentioned it and that"s when he remembered that was where she made a mark last night.

She forgot?

He got angry and stood up and left the room making Xing wonder what she did wrong.

Xing decided to take a long bath since she slept for three days and only when she removed her robes did she notice the marks on her body.

Don"t tell me, last night actually happened! Oh, boy! Is that what made him mad.? He could have reminded me!

After she got dressed, she decided to look for that man who has become more sensitive and a crybaby to apologise for forgetting about last night.

But Chenglei came by himself and wordlessly dragged her away in a horseback and took her to the jungle.

They were lead by a trained guide and he took them to the plains and there it was.. A lot of rhinoceros.

"How... Did you know I want to see these?", Xing who was excited and ecstatic asked Chenglie who was lazily leaning on the trunk of a tree.

All she got in return was a nonchalant reaction and Xing pouted and got near him.

Before she opened her mouth, he spoke first.

" As soon as we reach our Kingdom, I"m going to marry"

Xing who was about to hug him to coax him froze in the spot.

What.? Why suddenly? Is he that angry at me?

"W-who are you going to...you know... Marry?", she took a step back and asked with her eyes watery and lips trembling.

Seeing her like that made Chenglei more annoyed.

This woman? What is she saying? Who else? Is she that dumb? I"m revolving around her all the time and where was there time for me to even look at another woman?

"Not telling you", he turned to look elsewhere.

You deserve it, woman! How dare you ask me this? And how dare you forget about last night?

"Tell me... Please...", Xing begged.

Why is this happening suddenly?

"Nope!", he refused, "I don"t want to put my bride in danger.",he added and bit his lips to swallow his laughter.

Sniff... Sniff....

He saw her crying and his heart got broken.

I didn"t mean to!

"Look... "

Before he told her the truth, Xing got up on a horse and drove deep inside the jungle freezing Chenglei.

She ran away... Again!
