Cleaning Up

Shen's P.O.V

Crap crap crap crap. D-d-d-d-did I just touched her breasts? GOODNESS. They were so soft. AND BIG. My hands? MY HANDS? MY HANDS TOUCHED THOSE BREASTS. They felt good in my hands. They felt divine. I wanted to do more. I should punish myself. I can see myself getting punished later by Lady Chen. But it's worth it!

I'm breathing heavily right now because up the blood rush. My body feels hot. I feel hot. I want to touch her more. I want to do more to her. But can I? Or would she allow me? Gah, my mind is already imagining a lot of things that I could do to Lady Chen. Goodness. I've seen many naked women but no one threw off like this. I'm insane! Lady Chen came with elegance and purity that I have now soiled. But she looked erotic and it looked like she was waiting for it. What am I going to do. What should I do? Should I sleep outside? Should I kneel for her to not punish me? I can feel my mothers' stare already.

I pace around the Lady Chen's room, thinking and waiting for my punishment. I think Lady Chen is fuming right now. I think she's angry. But I should be angry. But ah, I don't know anymore. GODS, HELP ME.

The door opened instantly. I was ready to kneel but I saw that it was General Chen. My face heat up more. I can't believe I did that to his daughter. If I tell him, would he be angry?

"Shen,"

I clear my throat.

"General Chen,"

I try to sound mightier than him but it seemed like a chicken. Am I that tiny?

"I apologize for treating you lowly."

Oh, I thought he knew what me and Lady Chen did.

"You already apologized, General Chen."

"You were right, Shen."

I sit down on the floor and looked outside. The snow was still raging. If I alter mother nature, I'm sure the old hag would be angry. I already hear her saying, 'you dimwit, don't touch mother nature. Let her do what she is supposed to do'.

I let General Chen continue. But he didn't. Was he waiting for me to say something?

"About what, General Chen?"

"I'm an idiot. And worthless."

"You're not those. You're just powerless who is also an idiot. I guess you are an idiot."

If we were under different circumstances, I wouldn't be saying this to General Chen.

"You're a worthy father of two beautiful girls. You did what you thought was best for your daughters, if it meant using someone."

"I could've asked you."

"Yes, you could. I would've said 'yes' immediately but I know you can't easily let go of your pride as Lady Chen's father."

"Yeah, I couldn't."

I heard him sigh.

"But what's done is already done."

"I will gladly accept you as my daughter's suitor and spouse."

My heart almost leaped out of my chest. It was as if I was I am the wealthiest person in the world. Finally! No one was against us.

"But no coitus."

"Wha-"

He gave me a deadly glare. It was pure menace. I saw myself getting strangled in there. It was hilarious but mostly scary. He knew his daughter was a catch and he doesn't want me to soil her body.

"You. Shall. Not. Have. Coitus. With. Her. Understand?"

"Yes, yes, General Chen."

"Father?"

Lady Chen emerges from the door and looks at the both of us. Me and General Chen were sitting. I guess it looked weird to Lady Chen.

"Why are you sitting there?"

Lady Chen's sleeve slid down as she takes a seat beside her father. I suddenly remembered what happened earlier. Gods. I feel like I have a nosebleed. I saw her nipples. Her pink nipples. Her breasts that looked heavenly. I want to bury myself in those again.

"What are you thinking about, Shen?"

"Ha?"

"Shen,"

I snapped out of my perversion. General Chen saw me looking at his daughter and slid the sleeves back up. I cleared my throat and looked away immediately. I didn't want to look at Lady Chen. I was afraid I might do something to her later. But she is to punish me so I guess touching her is not an option. Sleeping outside is though.

"I-I got distracted."

"Hmph."

"What were you guys talking about, Father?"

"Dear,"

General Chen turns his back at me and grabbed his daughter on both shoulders. His eyes pleading and his nose, runny.

"Don't go and have sex with this woman when you're still here, okay?"

Lady Chen's face instantly heats up and looks at me directly. I panicked and looked away. I'm dead.

"But-"

"BUT WHAT? YOU'VE HAD SEX WITH HER?"

General Chen turns to me, gritting this teeth. WHY DID LADY CHEN SAY THAT?

"I SWEAR WE DIDN'T."

I try convincing General Chen.

"Yet,"

But Lady Chen just had to say that. General Chen instantly stands up and aims for my neck. I panicked and ran outside without flip flops.

After that little escapade, we made our way to the royal manor. Of course, General Chen was back to his defensive self. He had me and Lady Chen take separate ways. I was to fly while he and Lady Chen were to ride in their carriages. It was still freezing cold but I didn't mind the cold. I could just use my own qi to keep me warm or something.

As we near the royal manor, I see soldiers standing outside the cold. They were equipped with spears, swords and shields. Behind them were artillery troops and arrows. As I thought, they knew what was going to happen and they prepared for it. Maybe it was for the best that General Chen used me. This is one hell of a greedy royal family.

I fly down below but of course sealed my presence. I wouldn't them knowing that we also came prepared.

"General Chen."

"What is it?"

"An ambush awaits us."

He paused for a second but then looks at me.

"Then an ambush we will receive."

"Are you certain?"

"Ah. It's been too much."

He looks at Lady Chen and then at me.

"I'm counting on you."

"Ah." I gave him a reassuring nod and went back to flying high up in the sky.

As soon as the carriage went passed the gate, they were already surrounded. General Chen and Lady Chen stepped out of the carriage and had their hands up. It was a good thing to not bring her little sister along but to think that she was the one who came up with a plan. The Chen family sure live up to their name.

I fly past them from above and entered the manor through the chimney. I wrap my cloak around myself to protect me from all the dust and the coal. When I got down, I look around and see the mistress drinking tea.

The sister was right. The mistress doesn't know about all the commotion that the prince and his family had made. But, something is not right. There must be a reason why the royal family is so lax knowing that they are not in comparable with the might of General Chen, as well as mine combined. What are they up to? Do they have someone that can actually hold General Chen back? Neck to neck with him?

Think of other things that the royal family can obtain that can actually wreck General Chen and his family. There has to be something. Are they holding someone hostage? That can't be. But, they can also do that since they already have their hands dirty.

I'm not that smart and all this thinking is hurting my brain. Goodness. I'll stick to the plan for now and ambush the royal family using the mistress. Damn, we need to use the mistress for her to know everything that's happening.

I walk past the mistress and locate where the royal family members are. I walk slowly, trying not to make any noise. For all I know, they could have a guard dog or celestial. That would certainly hurt me.

"Now, where are they?"

"Here."

I was shoved to the side. I was concealing my identity so how? I landed on my feet before my face could get in touch with the wall.

"Tsk."

"Ha! I thought it would be someone more powerful like General Chen."

"Too bad. You're stuck with me."

I charge aimlessly, trying to read his movements.

"Remember, if something happens, which I think will, you can proceed with plan B. Defeat as many soldiers as you can or rendezvous with Father and Sister if you think there are too many. As soon as you rendezvous, you are to, as a last resort, kidnap the mistress and help her get away from there. We will over throw the royal family."

"That is fine. The people already know the injustice, they will surely agree with it."

I remembered as I shield his sword with my ice one.

He doesn't look familiar. Is he someone new? Is he from here? Other than that, he reeks of alcohol. Does he have a death wish? Wait, now that I think about it. I didn't sense him before he said something. Could he be someone stronger than me? Probably. No, wait. I think he is. I grit my teeth and jump back.

"Oh? You caught up fast."

"You're strong."

"Than you."

"No need to rub it in."

He shrugs. In just a blink, he was already in front of me. CRAP.

I used my arm as a shield. His sword pierced my cold skin. Blood gushed out, spilling on my fact and my clothes. I clench my fists and backed away. I hold my other sword on my left arm.

"Are you a leftie?"

"How did you know?"

"You grip better with your left."

He was fast at noticing things. As much as I'd like to defeat him, I can't. Not with this injured hand of mine and that fast mind of his. He's stronger than me. I bet he's already in Heavenly Ace Tier. Tch. I'm at a disadvantage.

I was right. The royal family had such a trump card hidden. I should've been more cautious.

"As much as I'd like to be your opponent, I'm afraid I can't be a satisfaction."

"You've satisfied me enough though."

"Huh?"

"No more talk. Let's dance."

He didn't waste any second. He was already by my side as my eyes failed to follow his movements. I could only make a little shield before his blade hits me. I was sent through the walls, making a path. I cough out blood as I hit the last wall.

"Shit."

I wipe my mouth before standing up. Rubble fell down from my back and hair. I've been to a more serious situation but damn, it still hurts. I can't heal if this keeps up. I need to up my game. I inhaled and exhaled. I summoned my little children.

"Oh?"

I summoned three. Thunder, ice and fire. They should enough to keep him as I heal myself.

"I'm counting on you, little ones."

They screamed softly before making their way to the man. I hurriedly heal myself. I need to at least not let him know that General Chen and Lady Chen are fighting too. Shit. I need to hurry up. I hear thunderous sounds and clanking of swords.

My little ones are holding out better than me. What a shame.

When I was almost done healing, a moment of silence engulfed me. I jump up high before the man could pierce me. I look below and saw that the little ones were already gone. My wound wasn't healed but I had no choice. I summoned my black fire sword and prepare to battle this alcoholic man.

"Ooh. That's a nice sword you got there."

"I can feel that you're not even the slightest bit serious."

"Do you want me to get serious?"

I charge at him from above. I add my weight and the force from my muscles to give him a fatal blow but again, I was shoved to the side and he managed to cut my shoulder. It was a big cut but not that deep.

"Tch."

"You have complete control over your magic, huh? That's nice."

"Why are you working for them?"

"Who?"

I spit out blood.

"The royal family."

"What?"

"Stop feigning innocence."

"I'm not, kid. What made you think so?"

What?"

"You're here aren't you."

"Your mother sent me, dimwit. She wanted me to test you out."
