“Jenny, may I come in?”Tolly rapped the door to her chamber, his heart pounding in his chest. As he waited for her response, he felt like a cat on a hot tin roof, eager to see her once again.“Come in, Tolly,” Jenny's voice was as sweet as honey, and it made Tolly's heart race even faster.As Tolly stepped into her chamber, he was hit with a familiar scent that made his head spin. He couldn't help but feel like a moth to a flame in her presence.Jenny was dressed in diaphanous pajamas that left little to the imagination, and Tolly's eyes greedily drank in every curve of her body.“I'm afraid I must leave for a while, my love,” Tolly said, his voice thick with emotion,“But I trust you'll take care of yourself in my absence.”Jenny's eyes flashed with desire, and she wasted no time throwing herself into his arms. Tolly's lips met hers in a passionate kiss, and he felt like he was walking on air.Before long, the two of them were undressed and tangled up in the sheets, their bodies mov
"Tell me what you can do for me!" Tolly sneered, eyeing the trembling rabbit sprite, "Then I'll see what I’ll do to you."The sprite cowered before him, but managed to stammer out,"Anything you want since you’ve defeated me. I could be your private maid, or run errands for you..."Tolly's mind raced as he considered the possibilities. He had a plan, but it required finesse and cunning to pull off. Since he would go into the royal court to see Emperor William, the sprite might be very helpful to him."Listen, Grace," Tolly began, his voice low and smooth. "If you do as I say, I promise I can make your life much more comfortable."The rabbit sprite's ears perked up at the prospect of a better life, and she nodded eagerly."I'll do anything you ask. I swear I’ll always be obedient to you. Just tell me what you need."Tolly leaned in, his eyes gleaming."I need you to take my place at court. I'll use my magic to transform you into my likeness, and you'll pose as me, the daughter of Fant
With a flick of his hand, Emperor William had sealed the fate of Fanta Lord and his kin."Lead Miss Fanta to the Fairy Longevity Palace," he commanded his palace maidservants, "and await my arrival."As he delivered his decree, the courtiers exchanged knowing glances - for they knew all too well the emperor's penchant for beautiful women.But the emperor wasn't done yet."Fanta Lord's whole family is now pardoned," he continued, "Fanta Lord is restored to his original rank, and as a royal relative he's granted an extra monthly allowance of 2,000 piculs of rice. As for his officer Edward, he's to be entertained for three days at the Celebration Court, and escorted back to Fanta city by one civil and two military ministers."Edward, grateful for the emperor's mercy, fell to his knees and expressed his gratitude.But the courtiers, keenly aware of the emperor's blind lust, were deeply troubled by his recklessness. With a haughty nod, the emperor retreated to his palace, heedless of their
As the deadly needles hurtled towards Jessie Harp, it seemed like she was doomed to meet a gruesome end. But with lightning-fast reflexes, she plucked the strings of her harp with ferocious intensity, unleashing a powerful sound wave that collided with the needles in a deafening explosion. The rabbit sprite was left reeling in shock and awe, her confidence shaken by the unexpected display of power from her opponents. "These sprites must be ancient ones that have cultivated for more than a thousand years, with powers beyond my wildest imagination," she thought to herself, a shiver running down her spine. "If I don't bring everything I've got, I might not make it out of here alive." With a fierce determination, the rabbit sprite gathered all her energy, summoning it to her mouth as she prepared for a final, deadly showdown with the three powerful sprites before her. In an instant, the rabbit sprite sprang into the air like a bolt of lightning, spinning wildly like a dervish. The res
The next morning in the Pleasure Palace, Emperor William woke up feeling like he had been hit by a mountain of bricks.His head was spinning like a top and he couldn't quite remember what had happened the night before after he had knocked back too many glasses of wine. He had been hoping to seek pleasure with Fina Fox, but after pressing his lips to hers, he had quickly passed out cold.Little did he know that the wine he had been guzzling had been spiked with something more potent than usual, which explained why he had fallen asleep so quickly. But now, as he lay there feeling woozy, he found himself unexpectedly longing for his sweet Miss Fanta.He leaped out of bed with a sudden urgency and turned to Fina Fox, who was still lying beside him."I have to go back to the Fairy Longevity Palace," he exclaimed, "I had the most terrible dream about Miss Fanta last night!"Fina Fox just smirked knowingly."I think you're starting to miss the lovely Miss Fanta, your majesty," she said slyly
"As an immortal, he's a man of the stars, with a heart as free as the wind that rustles through the fields. He dons cotton gowns and hats of fresh flowers, living off wild grass and sweet springs that flow with the promise of everlasting life. He's a true poet, singing with a voice that echoes across the mountains and clapping his hands with glee. He's a man who despises wealth, finding joy in the purity of poverty and the rise and fall of dynasties. As the four seasons came and went, he refused to age, instead turning his white hair black and rejuvenating his body. He was a healer, a man who could save people from death with medicinal herbs and exorcise evil spirits with his charms and spells. He was a collector of refined emanations from both heaven and earth, seeking out the very essences of the sun and moon. And yet, despite all his wisdom and power, he lived a carefree life, spending his days discussing the mysteries of the Way with his friends over wine. He was a cultivator, ac
Little did the emperor know, his concubines were suffering from the deadly effects of the pine sword, with little hope of recovery.As he paced back and forth in their bedchamber, consumed with anger and despair, a voice weakly called out to him. It was Fina Fox, one of the concubines, who had awoken from her slumber with a startling revelation."Your majesty," she said in a weak voice, "Miss Fanta and I had planned to meet you at noon yesterday, but when we arrived at the Central Palace Tower, we looked up and saw a sword hanging high above us. We were beside ourselves with fear."“Oh?” said Emperor William in surprise.“We’re so ill now that we may be unable to play the game of being one with you anymore. For this, we’re terribly sorry, your Majesty.”"Good heavens!" exclaimed Emperor William, his eyes widening in shock. "So, you mean to tell me that you may never again be able to indulge in the pleasures of the flesh with me?"Tears streamed down the cheeks of his concubine, her he
“Look, that wicked sorcerer has killed my beloved concubine, now all of you go back to your own places and zip your mouth as to what has happened here in the Grand Court."He accused Cloud River of sorcery and murder, spitting out venomous words like a poisonous snake. The ministers and officials listened with bated breath, afraid to cross the emperor's wrath.They nodded their heads like a field of wheat in the wind, hoping to appease his fury.But as they left the Grand Court, their thoughts turned like the tides of the sea. Many of them began to believe that the emperor must have been bewitched by wicked sprites, and they whispered the words on the paper like a secret flame passing from one candle to another.Tolly, disguised as Cloud River, had infiltrated the Maternal Court of Empress Guma.Desperately searching for a place to hide, he stumbled upon a plain-looking room with a majestic purple wardrobe. Without hesitation, he squeezed himself inside and waited as the guards scoure
