'Forced' Inclusion

*Multiple POVs*

(MC POV)

He was dragged out by two of the grey robed members and also looked to be gagged. His head hung low as the leader from previously watched the men bring him out. They set him down into one of the nearby tents they had set up.

A few men prepped the alter table, clearing the top of it's candles before laying a red linen down. And seemingly out of nowhere the men pull out chain cuffs attached to the four corners of the alter.

"𝘞𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘨𝘶𝘺!" Chen Huang whisper-yelled while looking down there.

'Hmm... I'd rather not. Does he not see how god damn many of them there are?! Just because you have plot armor doesn't mean we do as well!!' I silently and internally cried as heard him speak near to me.

His plan was probably going to go through though. What scares me is what'll happen next. Even after saving him there'll be tons of down sides! If our faces are ever revealed to these people while we're here, they might just hunt us for our entire lives! Or at least until our Mc here powers up and snaps them all to death.

Is this single life of a man I've never seen worth my own life being hunted by one of the major sects of this region? The only plus is the gratitude of the man we saved, WHO WE'LL PROBABLY NEVER SEE AGAIN.

This is stupid, but maybe at least I'll be able to learn something from this. I'll just watch from afar and see how he'll get pass everyone and escape with this man.

"𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘮? 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵? 𝘋𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦?" Rao Nuan responded with confusion as she pointed at the large group clearly in front on us.

'Yes! Tell him Rao Nuan!'

"𝘋𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘐'𝘷𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯! 𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘦, 𝘉𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘊𝘩𝘦𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴!" He responded with a smile before turning to me. A small flash happened before two sets of Grey Hound robes appeared in his hand.

I blankly stared at the sets of clothing in his hand as my previous thoughts of sitting back quickly crumbled to ashes being blown away. With what small amount of hope left I asked, "𝘐𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦? 𝘐'𝘮 𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘉𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘏𝘶𝘢𝘯𝘨, 𝘐 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘯𝘰𝘸. 𝘚𝘰 𝘐'𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦."

"𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵? 𝘕𝘰, 𝘉𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘊𝘩𝘦𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯! 𝘈𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘐 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘮𝘦𝘯.

"𝘜𝘨𝘩 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵, 𝘐'𝘮 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦!! 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘦?! 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮?

" The remaining Spirited Sun disciple spoke, shocked. Everyone ignored him including Chen Huang who all awaited my answer.

Though after a few seconds he did respond to him. "𝘋𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘘𝘪𝘢𝘰 𝘈𝘯? 𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘐 𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦? 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘺 𝘏𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘳. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦." Hearing his response he no longer spoke, instead turning back towards the ritual.

"𝘚𝘰, 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘦?" Chen Huang asked once more as he stared directly at me with a soft smile.

Returning his gaze I saw his bright yellow eyes flash a golden hue for the second time. '*Sigh* Well he is a protagonist. If anything goes wrong he'll save me too, probably. Surely I'm more of a priority than this guy we're saving if it gets down to it, right?'

"*Sigh* 𝘈𝘭𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵.. 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘦𝘴. 𝘐'𝘭𝘭 𝘨𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵." Extending my hand out I took one of the sets he held.

His smile widened further as I took one of the sets. Looking for a place to change I went into the forest to change as I felt embarrassed to change in front of others. Maybe Its because I just still had a bit of the mindset of being fat which made me feel a little insecure from others watching or maybe it's just how I am. Either way I just didn't want others to watch as I changed my clothing.

..

I loosen my robes and dropped them down to my ankles.

*Rustle* *Rustle* Hearing the sudden rustling of the nearby bushes make me jump a bit.

"Wha-! Who's out there?!" Quickly squatting down I reached for my sword. Pulling it out of it's scabbard I scanned the area in a 120* degrees angle of where I heard the noise from. The bushes were just a bit too far from where I was to use my Qi Sense, but I could use the extending technique I thought within that stronghold to see a bit further.

When My sense reached the area or well the bush it came from I found nothing there. There was recent damage to the bush though, so maybe it was just an animal which ran through. There was a weird little splash of clear liquid on a small part, though. It might have just been some water though.

Realizing that it was mostly a small animal I sighed with relief, sheathing my sword before realizing I had nowhere to keep my sect's clothing.

Quickly putting on the Grey Hound sect's clothing I picked up my previous outfit and carried it in my arms as I went back.

By the time I got there Chen Huang had already changed and was waiting for me. As I walked out from the tree line they immediately noticed me and he asked,

"Are you ready?"

"*Sigh* 𝘈𝘭𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵.. 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘦𝘴. 𝘐'𝘭𝘭 𝘨𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵." After he said that he got up and walked straight into the forest.

"𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘴𝘰 𝘐'𝘭𝘭 𝘨𝘰 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭."Chen Huang spoke just after Ip Cheng left. Then just like Ip Cheng did, he went into the forest though a different direction.

"𝘖𝘩 𝘪𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘴 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘰 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘮." I made up an excuse on the spot to sneak out.

"𝘏𝘶𝘩, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰? 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴, 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩. 𝘐𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘰, 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶?" Qiao An asked confused

"𝘏𝘦𝘩𝘦, 𝘠𝘦𝘢𝘩 𝘐 𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘴𝘰. 𝘈𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘣𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘴. 𝘉𝘺𝘦 𝘣𝘺𝘦." With that I left.

Though just out of my hearing Rao Naun spoke, "𝘖𝘩 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘧 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘣𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵, 𝘐'𝘭𝘭 𝘨𝘰 𝘵𝘰 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘺."

I quietly trailed behind Ip Cheng and even found a really nice bush which completely hid my figure to hide behind it. Moving a little more into it I pushed the leaves of the bush aside, conveniently giving me a perfect little peep hole to look though.

As I watched him slowly removing his clothing my body began to heat up a bit. Drool flowed a steady and sluggish pace, before it ended up dripping onto the bushes leaves below me.

Just watching him undress is making me want to pounce on him. I wonder, what he would thin of me if I showed him this side of me? I worked really hard to perfect my image in his mind so I can't just do this and most possibly ruin it. I'll slowly integrate it while we're a couple, then he'll slowly be exposed to it more. From the Hentai I've seen in his history before he might even be really into it.

Just when it was getting to the good part where he was basically fully exposed something unexpected happened. As his robe was falling down whispers entered my ear from behind.

"𝘖𝘩 𝘮𝘺 𝘨𝘰𝘥 𝘠𝘢𝘰 𝘠𝘢, 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘢 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘵?! 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘪𝘧 𝘩𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘮?" A woman spoke in a fake shocked voice.

*RUSTLE* *RUSTLE*

I was so completely enamored with Ip Cheng undressing that I didn't even notice this woman come close to me. And expectedly from being unexpectedly spoken to I shook, disturbing the bushes around me.

"Wha-! Who's out there?!"

Turning back towards him, he had bent down to pull out his sword. Knowing that I wouldn't be able to watch him anymore I frowned before turning towards the woman who caused this situation! Luckily the bush was tall enough for me to stand up and run away, albeit silently.

I had thoughts of pushing this woman through those bushes as payback, but that might expose me as well so I held off. Once we had gotten far enough I turned towards the woman who ended my session.

"Fufu, Why do you look so angry?" She held a slight mocking smile as she looked at me.

"You ruined my fun! Why were you there anyway?!"

"Oh, I just had a feeling you weren't actually going to the bathroom. So, I wanted to see what you were actually doing, but who knew I would catch you watching him change! What would you do if I were to tell him of your.. misdeeds?"

"Are you trying to blackmail me?" Hearing her last sentence my hand reached toward the hilt of the sword by my side.

"There's no need for that, I'm not going to do any of the sort. Seeing you so nervous is plenty for me. Why don't we have a fair fight for him?"

"A fair fight? We've already gone all the way and he's confessed to me too. What can you do?" Listening to her I told her what had already happened between us. After all what is there to fight for when he's already mine?

Hearing my response she shook a bit and her eyes which had been calm the entire time changed a bit. But quickly it reverted back as she responded, "All the better! A challenge and a hard up-hill battle is one most felt and celebrated when won."

Her words shocked me and I almost unleashed an attack against her for her words. They were arrogant and challenged me as a woman, like she thought of me as an inferior.

Thinking it though a bit more if I had cut her down it would be really hard to explain where she went. And the more I though about her proposal the more my competitive spirit rose.

'There's no way I'll lose and get NTR'd. Especially since I was just confessed to by him not too long ago.' I only know that term from Hentai, but after researching some more I found out it's meaning.

"Hmph Fine, I accept your challenge to "try" and take him away from me. Just know you'll lose! We should head back now, preferably before either of those men come back."

She showed wide smile which incensed me, but I let it slide.

'She will not the the person who'll break me. If it's anybody I'll let do this to me it's Li Lian, but even then I won't like it happening.'

We soon arrived with Qiao An and her servant being the only ones still here. Though very soon afterwards Chen Huang appeared proceeded by Ip Cheng.

"Are you ready?"
