Chapter VI: Huo Wu 2/2

It was dark and quiet in the forest as we got closer to the cabins. It was mostly due to the mixture of herbs that surrounded the property to repel the spirit beasts. I liked the quiet. It's something that I've gotten used to it during all the years I've lived in the forest.

Trudging through the forest, I carried Huo Wu and her Brother Huo Wutong. I decided to be simple and use my spiritual energy to aid in the haul. To my left, Ahri carried the twins, Huo Yu and Huo Yun. Arriving at the Cabin. We placed the twins and Huo Wutong in Ahri's cabin and Huo Wu in the same cabin that used to belong to uncle Tang.

"What do we do with them," asked Ahri as we stood over Huo Wu

"Bind them. And I have a powder the seal their spiritual power," I reply.

"seal?" Ahri asks with a doubtful look.

"It's a poison, but I have the antidote... If they wake before I'm finished, keep them occupied."

"Tell me...Why are you so different. What are you?" Tenko asked Huo Wu as she sat bound to a chair.

Huo Wu stared at Tenko, mortified. "That...That was pink maiden's exciting mist, wasn't it?" she asked.

Tenko nodded, yes.

Huo Wu took a deep breath, and Tenko could practically smell the fear on the girl. "You can't tell anybody. My clan will be shamed...Please!"

Tenko looked indifferent. He saw something that should be impossible. Unlike the Huo twins, Huo Wu was all woman. All real.

"Is it some kind of side effect from your spirit? You have to tell me something. I'm just curious about you. My...Kazumi uses a foreign word for things that defy logic, go against reason, and puzzles the mind. you are an enigma, Huo Wu."

Huo Wu was scared as she sat in her chair. Her spirit power was sealed, and she was absolutely helpless. Tenko seemed nice enough, but she actually didn't know him. She had two options, to tell her story to a stranger or have him rip through her mind.

Huo Wu took a breath then sighed. "Everything on me is real. It started years ago..."

Huo Wu is a stunning woman. She is very tall and has a well-shaped body. She has deep red waves of long hair hanging down to her waist, a fair face with exquisite facial features, a pair of big eyes faintly flickering with silvery light, and a crimson flame mark on her forehead.

Tenko took a seat and focused on Huo Wu as she weaved her origin story.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Huo Wu's POV

I was born Huo Wu of the Noble Huo clan. My mother and father had three sons—my oldest brother Huo Wutong, Huo Wushuang, and finally me. From the very beginning, I had soft feminine features. Because of that, I worked hard, and my father pushed me even harder.

My mother always wanted a daughter. And because she never got one, I became her sweet Xiao Wu. She used to dress me in secret, and my father would beat her for it. I would blame myself and cry for hours. It was always Huo Wutong that always appeared to cheer me up. He was always around.

But what I couldn't see was the jealousy underneath his comforting words. Before me, he received all of my mother's attention. When my mother started becoming reclusive. He blamed it on me, he started subtly, and before I knew it, my mind was all fucked up. That's when he gave me the idea to dress like a girl. He said, 'If father saw that this is how you are, he would stop beating on mother, and she would come back and spend time with us. It's your fault she's gone. You have to be the one to make things right.'

So I did just that. From the time I was eight, I dressed like a girl and forced my servants to train me to be a lady of noble birth. I was absolutely miserable. But it got worse. Huo Wutong began touching me and then raped my asshole over and over again.

For years, I was broken. When the day came that I shot my first load while riding my Wutong's cock, it happened. My fire shadow spirit mutated. It became a woman. A power swallowed me that day, and I rode my brother's cock until his balls were empty, and my cock-milk covered his body.

When it was over, and I went back to my room, that's when I discovered the second change in my spirit. The 'Trap System.' I was shocked and confused. I had no time to take in this new ability. Huo Wushuang followed me into my room. I was so distracted by the trap system that I didn't notice him.

He pushed me down onto my bed and pulled my dress above my waist. The moment he saw my freshly fucked ass, he cooed. It was hot and ready, thanks to the long fucking of our eldest brother not long before. I felt a hand grab my little dick, followed by a warm sensation that filled me as Wushaung rammed into my ass with his rod. He fucked me and toyed with my cock until the sun came up. When I finally got the chance to sleep, my eldest brother was just waking up and decided to use my mouth as a fuck hole, again. However, Like the two fuck session before, I loved it. It was like life couldn't get any better than when I had a cock in me and was being treated like a whore.

Though, when it was over, a blood lust came over me, and my body was brimming with yang energy. I was burning from the inside.

The Trap System saved me. The yang energy strengthened my foundation and constitution, it then added to my spirit power, and finally, it was used to grant me gifts. My figure became sculpted, My hips, ass, and tits were of a caliber that made all the ladies of the house jealous. My voice became soft and alluring. My eyes became ethereal, and my lips soft and seductive. My asshole is always clean, tight, and moist whenever I'm horny, and the hair fell from my body.

Before the trap system, I had nothing. I awakened an innate spiritual power of zero. And when I trained, I only managed to get my first ring. I was the shame of the house. But after the trap system, my life changed, and my brothers never touched me again. My cultivation speed became five times faster after I used the last of my yang energy to buy the Purple Yang Technique. I technique that nourishes my Yin nature flames by taking in Yang energy of the sun.

"How does the trap system work? Have you used it since that day?" Tenko interrupted my story.

I gave him a glare that didn't shake him, and he returned the favor with a glare that rocked my core. I could feel my six-inch cock stiffen and tent my skirt, my asshole began to moisten, and my body became hot. A sweet lavender scent permeated from me, and I let my head fall in embarrassment. I don't like men, but images of Tenko defiling my ass with his cock and filling me with his thick hot seed were rushing into my head. I wanted to bare my soul to the man, to be his bitch, and I have no idea why. I take a few slow breaths before answering his question.

"The trap system runs on yang energy that I receive during dual cultivation. The more powerful a Spirit Master is, the purer the yang energy. The yang energy is turned into points, and I buy my gifts in the system shop. The clean asshole, boy-pussy, hairless body, and trap lure -the sweet lavender scent, were all free. The foundation conditioning and body enhancements all costed yang energy. But if I kill, I can get points. These points can be used to purchase skill manuals, cultivation techniques, immortal herbs, and gear -weapons and armor. And, no, I haven't used it since then. I haven't been with a man since then. And women get me worked up, but I'm smaller than average, and the only thing that satisfies me is..."

"Cock" Tenko finished my sentence, and I was hit with a dark realization.

"Y-yes," I replied.

Tenko raised an eyebrow, and a terrifying smirk crept onto his face. "Can you gift what you purchase?"

Tenko's eyes changed colors, and my cock twitched. I couldn't help but moan as globs of cum spewed from cock and coated my balls. My dress became damp and attracted Tenko's attention. I tried to look away, but I couldn't. I want him with every fiber of my being.

"It's the Alpha in him. Along with a slight draconic aura," A soft voice snaked through the orgasmic tension.

I looked behind Tenko and saw a Beautiful woman with nine fluffy white tails and fox ears. Beautiful but unnerving, she seems as vicious as Tenko. And if what she said about being an alpha was true, and this moment was anything like spirit wolf packs, I could feel myself becoming their bitch, and the scariest part is... I loved the feeling that it was giving me.

"Because he's part human, it must be affecting you even though you aren't a Vastya. Alpha can assert dominance on anyone but what he's doing to you, the way it's affecting you. It just means you were born to be his bitch. But don't worry, I feel it too. Doesn't it feel...Amazing?"

My lips moved on their own, and my answer instinctual. "T-the best I ever felt..."

The fox woman giggled, and Tenko looked amused. "I can only gift to my lovers..." I told him.

"Then I'll be your lover. I can smell you begging for it. Between your cum and lavender-scented juices that now stain my chair, I don't know if I'll be able to control myself much longer." He spoke teasingly with a fox grin.

His words surprised me and the vixen behind him. Her eyes glazed over with lust. She wants to feel him fill her holes just as much as I do.

"O-okay. But you have to kill him—my brother. I couldn't do it at the clan, but you can do it here. The whole team can die. It's not unheard of." I try to bargain. If I was to become a slave to a man's cock, it's best that I received as many benefits as I could.

The vixen put on a crazed smile and licked her lips. "I think she'll be a good fit for us, And if you do accept her. Her enemies become ours. And we handle them with prejudice. What's one person in the grand scheme of things."

"Fine. But you have to return, or they will come looking. And I can't have them looking. And if you don't return in two weeks, I'll find you. You've just become extremely valuable to me, my sweet Xiao Wu."

I never liked being called Xiao Wu, but the way he said it set my heart on fire. I smile from ear to ear, and I promise him that I'll be back. But he frightens me. I wonder if he'll hunt me down if I don't return.

3rd POV

"That was intense, Tenko" Said Ahri.

"I know. It just...Happened." he replied.

Ahri giggles and kissed him on the cheek as the two cousins were walking outside. "You're a natural, my love. Born to be an Alpha. And whatever that woman did to you, combined with that gift from your father, you were destined for this." she complimented him.

"Then listen well, go kill the brother and feed him to the spirit beasts. Keep the twins alive," said Tenko.

Ahri smiled and skipped towards her cabin to do as she was told.

Sometime later, Tenko, Ahri, Huo Wu, and the twins walked through the dark forest towards the outer regions. After Ahri had taken care of Huo Wutong, The twins were moved back to the location where they fainted. When they woke up, Huo Wu told them a story of how the spirit beast took both of her brothers.

Now they traveled through the night, as Wushang thought it would be safer than camping. Towards the back of the group, Tenko was listening to Huo Wu go on about the great Huo family and Blazing academy. She even invited him twice.

"Well, I'm only eleven at the moment. But next year, when my training is up. I'll check it out."

"You're only eleven?" Huo Wu asked as she looked Tenko over.

'Impossible… his power, his...body. How is he so big? How strong would he be when he's 12, 13, 14… Will I even be his match? Haa, am I even his match now?' She thought

"Hai! I just train every day. Looking at all of you, I know I'm more developed than those of my age. You're a year older than me, and I make you look like a little girl." Tenko stopped speaking and stared off into space. He was never one to mope and feel sorry for himself. But he did worry about the hardship of not fitting in. The outside world was a mystery to him, but he was smart enough to know that he was different. He then thought of Tang San.

' I wonder if Brother San grew up as strong as me. Maybe I won't look like such a monster next to him.' thought Tenko.

"Uhh, I didn't mean to make --"

"It's alright. I was just thinking. I like people like you. Your mind is a bit young. But I'm sure you'll be a wonderful woman in a few years." said Tenko.

Huo Wu blushed and then squinted at Tenko. "What do you mean, my mind is young?"

Tenko side-eyed her, Huo Wu wore her emotions on her sleeve. Tenko was the same to a degree. He spoke his mind clear and true, but his feelings were kept under lock and key.

"In my mind, it was stupid to take the Flame Lion King's ring." said Tenko, "You could have waited for something more suitable. But you didn't think. You just did it. Impulsively."

"Hmm, why think when you can act? I have enough talent to make any ability great."

"Don't get me wrong. When you jumped for power, I thought about making you my woman on the corpse of the Flame Lion King in full view of your teammates. But I thought about it. And I decided not to."

Tenko stopped walking and looked at the gobsmacked Huo Wu. He tilted his head to the side and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Y-you can't say that to a noble lady," She stuttered, "Alone is one thing, but in front of people..."

Tenko became a bit confused. "Why not? It was just a compliment. And Kazumi says it's natural. Everybody does it, so why be shy? And it's not like I have seen your--"

Huo Wu launched forward and covered Tenko's mouth with her small palm. She then looked at Tenko seriously, and she wondered, "Tenko. How long have you been here? In Star Dou Forest?"

"Not that long, why?"

"Just curious, You just seem so...wild and beast-like."

For the first time, Tenko got a bit self-conscious, and Juubi snickered inside to himself. Tenko looked himself over and asked, "D-do you not like it, Huo Wu?"

Huo watched his reaction and pursed her lips into a smile. "First, You can call me Wu'er, and lastly, you are very handsome, Tenko. And I'm extremely attracted to powerful men who don't need to force themselves on me. Thank you for not doing that, by the way. And It's obvious you're a dragon amongst them. But, I wouldn't mind seeing you a bit more civil."

"Civil.." he repeated. "I can do that if you stay here with me. I can make my woman, and next year, you'll be a whole rank stronger, and we can travel the continent. We can really put that system of yours to good use."

' He is odd. Does he really expect his woman to live in a forest of beasts…' Wu'er blushed. ' I'm not his woman, yet… '

"So you still want me to come back in two weeks?" she asked.

Tenko lightly chuckled. "No." he said, "You are too weak and too important to return so casually. But you remember our deal. You are mine. We just haven't made it official."

"Offical…" Huo Wu repeated him, "I have a family with responsibilities. If you promise to come to Blazing Academy and be tested by the Dean in two years. Then I can be your woman everywhere and anywhere. But if you wait too long, my father will give me to someone else and send people after us if I run away. It's why I have to become strong. To marry a wild beastly man like you if I want."

Tenko smiled and held out his pinky. Huo Wu looked confused, but Tenko grabbed her hand, "Pinky swears. It's how Kazumi taught me to make promises. Here, take your pinky and hook it with mine."

Wu's face turned red as Tenko pressed their knuckles and thumbs together. "In two years. I'll go to Blazing Academy and take the Dean's test. But you are my woman no matter what happens. When I level this forest, I'll be coming for you."

"Pass or fail. I'll leave with you. It'll just be easier for everyone if you pass."

"I Swear," said Tenko.

"I Swear," she repeated.

"Now we kiss our hands to seal the promise...like this" Tenko leaned forwards and kissed his hand. Huo Wu smiled and followed suit.

"Say… How strong are you, Tenko?" asked Huo Wu.

Tenko puffed his chest up. "Rank 35 Spirit Elder."

Huo Wu smiled and went to catch up with the rest of the group, with Tenko following behind her. Tenko and Huo Wu talked the entire way. He could have done a lot of things to her and kept her prisoner for her special system. However, Huo Wu and her system were too much of a wild card.

Tenko decided the best relationship to have with Huo Wu is trust. So he let her go, free of her brothers' shadows and mutual agreement of a future union. Like Kazumi taught him with the game of Shogi, sometimes a good strategy takes patience to bear fruits.

100 meters from the edge of the forest, Tenko suddenly stopped. "Wu'er. What ability did you get from the Flame Lion King?"

Huo Wu turned her chin up and said, "Pride. It allows me to create fire clones of Flame Lions for crowd control."

"So your pride needs a King… Do you know any martial arts?"

"Yes, but I'm not much of a physical powerhouse," she replied honestly.

Tenko dug in his Gi and handed Wu the spirit bone of the Flame Lion King. "Keep it safe and hide it. It's young. But people would still kill for it. And if you keep your promise, answer when I come calling. I might help you make it stronger."

Huo Wu Launched herself at Tenko and gave him a big hug. Her lips then found Tenko's, and the two shared a sweet kiss. "That's for saving my life. I wouldn't usually admit it, but after being so vulnerable around you, honesty won't hurt... We would have died after my older brother fell if you hadn't shown up. Equally so if you hadn't pulled us from the Pink Maiden's Exciting Mist."

What Tenko wasn't going to tell Huo Wu was that her brother and the Flame Lion King would have killed each other. So she was never in any real danger. But oh well, her gratitude only served to further his cause.

"Well, be safe out there. This is as far as I can go, and if you come back, don't look for me. If fate allows it, I'll find you. But if I don't, just wait for me at the Blazing Academy." Tenko then faded away using the Ashura Senku.

Ahri walked them another 50 meters, then took her leave as well.

-----------------

When Huo Wu and the Twins arrive in Suotou City- a city less than five hundred kilometers outside of Star Dou Forest, Huo Wu was in for a shock of a lifetime.

Huo Wu and the twins sat at a table across from some students belonging to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in a high-class inn. One of the students happened to be Yu Tianheng, Tenko's cousin, who was being taken to hunt for a new spirit ring with Yu Luomian, his granduncle and second head of the clan.

As they spoke, the students praised Yu Tianheng and spoke about him being the Clan Head's next disciple, Yu Wutian. The Students then went on to enviously speak about the mysterious Hachijo Tenko.

Huo Wu nearly choked when she heard Tenko's name. The Twins were clueless as they still believed Tenko's name to be Akio.

From the second floor, Yu Luomian noted Huo Wu's reaction and kept a keen eye on the girl. But she was too focused on eavesdropping to notice she was being watched.

Huo Wu soon discovered that Tenko was being called the Core Disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Clan Head's personal disciple. She learned that he was the most mysterious youth on the continent as he was never seen before and only speaks to the Clan Head. Huo Wu knew they were talking about the Tenko she had met.

'That explains why he wanted me to keep his name secret. Besides, Tenko is an odd name. How many Tenko's could their possibly be.' she thought.

Yu Luomian suddenly appeared behind Huo Wu and asked if she was alright. She swore that she was fine, but Yu Luomian pressed with questions. But the Twins gave all of the answers as they told the elder about the attack and the Huo Wu's brothers. But what caught Luomian's attention was the part of the wild boy who saved them.

Yu Luomian smiled to himself. He knew the true Identity of Tenko. And Huo Wu was the first clue of Tenko's whereabouts the clan had gotten in years.

"Do you know where I can find this wild boy?" Luomian asked.

"No." Huo Wu spoke ahead of the twins, "He just saved our lives. He walked us to the edge of the forest then disappeared. If he lives out there, then we don't know where."

Luomian nodded his head then thanked Huo Wu and the Twins.

Huo Wu didn't understand what was happening, but if Tenko told her to keep his secret, that's what she planned to do. She then watched as Luomian whispered to a man and then left the Inn in a hurry.
