Waking Up 1

Huangfu Yun grunted as he shifted his hands to push himself up from lying on his face. He had it pressed against something soft and warm, but it wasn't altogether comfortable. Especially not after having experienced a sword thrust into his chest.

To be fair, he had deserved that attack. The feud between him and the fellow who had stabbed the weapon into him had been going on for almost an entire lifetime. So it was no surprise that he had finally perished like that. A pity that he had lost, in the end.

Still, he had put up an excellent fight, right up to the end. Too bad it had not been enough. Not even with his level of martial arts! Even with his near god-like power, there was no escaping death when it came for him!

Then he took a deep breath. Stopped. And breathed again.

And opened his eyes. How was it that there was no pain? Shouldn't his heart be shattered? Didn't that mean that he died? How was he breathing now? Without the accompanying agony that he had felt just moments ago?

Apparently, things were not as they seemed, and he had somehow survived what he believed to be a fatal assault. How lucky, he thought as he heaved himself off whatever he was lying on. The mattress under him was somehow far softer, and more lumpy, here and there, than what he could remember.

A soft feminine cry burst out from underneath him then, and Huangfu Yun hands nearly slipped. And he barely stopped himself from collapsing back on top the red-faced young woman that he had been lying on. What was going on? Who was she? Why was she lying underneath him? Was she an assassin?

And why was he in a bed, rather than lying on the tiled Palace floor?

Perhaps it was the shock of finding himself in bed with a woman, that truly surprised him. It was certainly a new experience, for someone who had been a eunuch for the last three hundred years or so. He had been castrated since he entered the Nine Mountains Kingdom's Royal Palace as a child, and had lived thereafter as a eunuch all of his life.

So how had things turned out like this now?

He felt a sharp pain in his skull then, and a flood of memories, of sights and sounds and smells and ...

It took all of Huangfu Yun's self-control not to give out a scream at the sudden intrusion into his head. But he soon realised that there was no pain. And that the sensation was not snatching anything away from him. To the contrary, it was feeding him the thoughts and memories of another entity, another soul!

Of someone called Huang Fuyun!

And it did not seem to take him any significant amount of time at all, to run through all of this other entity's memories, this other soul. The whole process had only taken him approximately two breaths of time! Perhaps because this Huang Fuyun only had a short life?

Then Huangfu Yun took a moment to gather his thoughts. Or what should more properly be called the thoughts of the fellow who had occupied this obese body before he did!

The fat youth's name was Huang Fuyun, which was close enough to his own that it almost made him puke. Did he end up occupying this fellow's body because of something as simple as that? Not to mention the fact that he had one of those unusual surnames that would have been impossible to match. Weren't the Gods in Heaven simply playing around like this?

Added to that was the fact the young man had perished because he had overdosed on sex stimulants! What kind of nonsense was that?

Then he ran through the young man's memories once more, and gave out a soft sigh. He was rather certain that no one would believe him, if he ever had a chance to tell anyone about this. The young man, the actual Huang Fuyun was worried that he had homosexual tendencies and so had overdosed himself on a rather common sexual stimulant, and threw himself at the pitiful girl that he had almost squashed flat earlier.

Well, that certainly could not have been comfortable for her! And the experience had proven fatal for Huang Fuyun as well! The sexual stimulant that he had chosen should only have been taken in small amounts! And overdosing himself like that was almost always fatal!

However, it could be said that Huangfu Yun had gained a significant advantage because of it! Like how his soul had somehow managed to squeeze its way into the insanely fat youth's body as a result of his macabre love-making! What had caused that was certainly a mystery!

A groan from beneath him suddenly reminded Huangfu Yun that he was not alone at the moment. And that he should be dealing with the girl who had just shared that strange experience with him moments ago! So he quickly looked down at the young woman lying underneath him, to check if she was alright.

Then his lip curled, in a somewhat self-mocking way. He had taken over the youth's body just moments after he had satiated himself on the young woman's body beneath him. He could still feel the accelerated heartbeat, the perspiration running down his back, and the semi-rigid member that was starting to get excited once more, between his legs.

How he had longed to be able to feel that last sensation again! He had been a eunuch after all! He had been mutilated as a child and sent into the Nine Mountains Royal Palace to serve its King! Even after he rose to his position as Chief Eunuch, he had never found a way to regain what he had lost.

And now, the Heavens had given him back what he had always wanted!

And placed him in a position where he could test it out immediately! After all, this Huang Fuyun fellow had already done it once with the girl lying beside him, so there should be no issue, if he demanded a repeat performance. Was there?

Surely this young woman lying under him was not going to refuse him if he wanted another round of the same. Was she? Before she could demand that he get off her, Huangfu Yun reached out with both arms, and quickly embraced her. Which was enough to make her stiffen in surprise.

And she cried out, the moment that he rolled over, flipping their positions about, so that she was lying on top of his obscenely pudgy body instead.

Her reaction was a bit of a surprise. Then the memories of Huang Fuyun intruded again, and the reason why she was there in bed with him suddenly became clear.

Which also had him cursing the idiotic youth whose body he was inhabiting in every single language that he knew! And with every single blistering obscenity that he had ever learned in each of them! Just what sort of an idiot was this pudgy fellow? And could anyone blame him for wanting to do what Huang Fuyun had just done, moments earlier?

Not aloud, of course. That would certainly shock the girl beyond her wildest dreams!

He decided that it would not do, to end up with this young woman hating him because of something that he wasn't even responsible for. And worse, being in such a position without taking advantage of it! But how was he going to convince her? He had been a eunuch in his past life so this was certainly something new! He had never had the opportunity to coax a young woman before.

She began to push herself off him with her arms before she suddenly stopped, and blushed furiously again. Something that had to do with the fact that she had promised to let him bed her in any fashion he desired, if he would agree to save her brother's life, if he recalled the details correctly.

Well, no one said that he couldn't turn her to his side, by being a little more gentle. Not to mention really saving her brother's life. At least, that was what some of his people had told him, when they were outlining their plans to him, in his other life. He would have to take a look at the young fellow though. From what he could dredge up from this Huang Fuyun's memories, the fat boy had done so in a cursory fashion. Enough to tell him that the boy's life was not in danger.

But he was starting to get aroused again, as her shifting atop his body brought her thighs into contact with his still-rigid member. And he remembered that Huang Fuyun had taken more of that stimulant than he should! While his death might have resulted from the same, it didn't mean that there wasn't more of it, still lingering inside his body!

Which meant that he was likely to need another hot and heavy session with her now, before he could function without being distracted by his desires!
