The Primal Fire: Book 1 of Starchild Escapes Arranged Marriage

"What? The princess?! Be desecrated?!"
"Be kissed? By Yun Xi, you?!"
"Yun Xi! I won't let you pass through here!"
It was all over. Yun Xi looked at Hua Huo who suddenly woke up and launched her radar of jealousy.
In this situation, what should he do?
Chapter 10: Hua Huo's Sword
A gentle breeze blew on Yun Xi's hair that laid on his forehead.
After fighting with the green Hippo over 120 times, the breeze that came from nowhere was supposed to be able to relieve his fatigue.
Unfortunately, the enemy Yun Xi faced now was absolutely not at the same level with the stupid green hippo!
Sweat had been oozing from Yun Xi's forehead as he simply stared at her.
No one would know Hua Huo's power better than Yun Xi himself. When they were still in school, Hua Huo was already undoubtedly number one in the sword skill class. Even their teacher wasn't able to beat her.
Her power is already far beyond her rank, the white three leaves badge.
In the God's Domain World, people from 1st Rank to 3rd Rank were known as the "Mortal Rank". The 3rd Rank was already the limit that an ordinary person could reach.
Hua Huo had undoubtedly reached the summit of the Mortal Rank. She was already a super ace being only a step away from the 4th Rank, the "Hero Rank".
She was known as the first genius swordsmaiden in the history of the village. It was not blown from the wind, but instead, she won it by effort. She was only 16 years old and already reached the limit of mortals. She had a bright future.
As for the hippo he defeated just now? It seemed pretty ferocious with its iron-like skin, but compared to Hua Huo, its strength was just a joke.
Yun Xi often stayed together with Hua Huo, watching her practice and learning the basic breathing method from her. Thus, he was able to kill the hippo by using his sword and accurate anticipation skills.
However, if his opponent was Hua Huo, Yun Xi doesn't think that there is a chance that he could win against her.
Maybe Hua Huo's physical strength wasn't higher than the rough green hippo, however, if you were talking about her combat power? She was able to kill ten of such hippos at once!
Yun Xi estimated that if the combat power of the green hippo was at 20, then Hua Huo's power was undoubtedly over 100. As for the limit of her power? Yun Xi had no idea.
"Tell me, Little Xi. Where is this place? And why do you want to go into the forest behind me?" Hua Huo drew out her long sword from her back. She shook the point of the sword and gave Yun Xi a seemingly friendly smile.
"Tell me everything. Tell me the truth and you will receive a lighter sentence. If you refuse, I will punish you severely!"
If he told her the truth, then that would be the worst. Yun Xi's head sweated profusely as he looked at Hua Huo's eyes, which was not fun at all.
It was too terrible when Hua Huo fell into jealousy!
Why was there such a terrible boss in the newbie trial? Compared to Hua Huo, the seemingly horrible hippo was so cute.
At least, after the hippo killed him over a hundred times, he was not discouraged. Eventually, he found the method to defeat it.
But it's not the case for Hua Huo. It was impossible. Even if he inspired every potential he had to beyond his limits by 120%, it was still hopeless for him to defeat his childhood sweetheart; the girl who was such a genius swordmaiden.
"Little Xi, I detect a suspicious fragrance in the air." Hua Huo snuffled. Her instinct as his childhood sweetheart told her that something was wrong.
There was an unknown girl's odor on Yun Xi's body. It was like a slightly milky aroma. Maybe others couldn't detect the difference due to the scent of blood on Yun Xi's body, however, as his childhood sweetheart she wouldn't make any mistake.
It wasn't the odor of Milei, the girl from the flower shop down the street. Her odor was always mixed with the faint aroma of flowers.
It wasn't the odor of El'phyllis, the girl from the neighboring village's gem store. Her odor contained a faint aroma of dark green stones.
It was slightly like the odor of Ye Li, the girl from the cake shop across the street. Ye Li's odor was like a sweet cream, but this odor contained something else.
Who? Who was she? Hua Huo slowly moved the point of her sword, trying to find out the bitch who dared to touch her most precious treasure, Yun Xi.
Unfortunately, even if her sword skill was unrivaled, it was impossible to do such a thing. After all, the cream-like odor on Yun Xi's body came from a star spirit named Mei'er.
What should he do? Yun Xi was under a great deal of stress, simply due to being pointed at by Hua Huo's sword. After all, every skill he mastered like the breathing method, was learned from Hua Huo.
Could he practice his sword skill in combat, then defeat his teacher Hua Huo? Come on, if he had such a great talent he would have passed the test of a 1st-ranked swordsman already.
Hua Huo. She was the best one among all the 3rd-ranked warriors, an unchallenged super sword master.
"I'm sorry, Hua Huo. I have to go there!" Yun Xi couldn't explain and tell her the ultimate goal for why he had to break into the dark forest.
If he said it out loud, he would have a tragic ending. It was his experience, which he concluded according to his childhood sweetheart's character.
The jealous Hua Huo. If she knew his goal was to wake-up the unknown sleeping beauty with a kiss... no! He couldn't dare think of it!
Unfortunately, she knew.
"You want to wake the sleeping beauty by kissing her? Little Xi, you have become a bad boy now!" Hua Huo raised her eyebrows. The long sword made a sharp sound vibration in her hand.
"I won't let you pass through here!""
"If you want to go, try to defeat me first!"
"In the name of the Gatekeeper of the Dark Forest, I announce that this road is blocked!"
Rushing! Yun Xi rushed. The initial fight was the only chance he had to win.
He had gone through 120 deaths in combat and reached the limit of his potential. Hua Huo didn't know this, so this was his only chance.
"Gee, Little Xi, you've made progress!" Hua Huo held her sword horizontally. She displaced Yun Xi's attack, then stepped out with her left foot.
Three continuous attacks! Yun Xi was ready to risk it. After all, this world was just a trial world. He had the special right to be revived an infinite amount of times.
Afterwards, he saw nine sword lights.
Up, down, left, right, above the left, above the right, below the left, below the right. The final was a wind like straight thrust.
Yun Xi's three continuous attacks were three straight attacks, a series of speedy slashes. However, Hua Huo brandished her sword nine times in a short second. She attacked Yun Xi from nine different directions and angles.
They were nine attacks, but it was also a one time attack. Before Yun Xi found out the sequence and principle of her attack, his iron sword had flown out of his hands, then the swordwind blew him away.
This was their difference. There was such a large gap that he couldn't even fill it with the combat experience he learned from his deaths.
Hua Huo's sword was like a strong wind, like lightning, like the transitory sparklers in the sky.
In the face of such a sword, Yun Xi's body was stiff and wasn't even able to speak. Even if he was in his optimum state and was armed to his teeth, he still couldn't defeat Hua Huo.
"What a speedy sword!" Yun Xi shut his eyes, waiting for his death.
It didn't matter. He found the way to win against the green hippo after dying 120 times. In that case, even if his second opponent was Hua Huo, he could also find the road to victory.
He just didn't know how many times he had to die before that happened.
At least, the number of deaths would grow by ten times. Yun Xi was prepared.
However, after Yun Xi gave up resisting, he didn't see the darkness he waited for, not to mention the warm bonfire.
"Why? I'm not dead?" Yun Xi opened his eyes and saw his childhood sweetheart's lively face.
"Why would you die? Did you think I would kill you?" Hua Huo looked at Yun Xi with a little anger.
Even if she was a little jealous and planned to find the new girl who tried to get close to Yun Xi no matter what the price is, it wasn't enough to make Yun Xi so scared, right?
"Aren't you the Gatekeeper of the Dark Forest?" Yun Xi hadn't thought of it clearly. After all, the ferocity of the first monster The Green Hippo had already been imprinted in his heart.
"That's my question. What's all this about?" Hua Huo frowned.
It was a little strange, but a moment ago, she thought she heard a "kill him" sound in her ears. It was seemingly like the true thought in her heart.
However, who was she?
She was Yun Xi's childhood sweetheart! She was destined to be married to him in the future! She would defeat anybody who dared to block her love with Yun Xi.
This was exactly the reason that why she could send out such a sword attack.
Humph. The sword arts teacher who almost robbed her of her successful plan when Yun Xi was 12 years old, you didn't expect this, right? You wanted to rob the cradle? I wouldn't let you do this!
Chapter 11: The Older Sister That Summer
A single sword stroke from Hua Hua would be enough to beat Yun Xi. Hua Huo smelled the odor on Yun Xi's body as she pushed him to the ground. She pinned him down by using her body, in order to not let him run away.
Hmmm... more accurately, it was the posture of a woman going down on the man, the so-called "straddle posture".
"This odor, weird."
"Tell me, Little Xi. Who's the girl this time?" As his childhood sweetheart, she had a better sense of smell than the golden retriever fairy, Mei'er. She was sure that Yun Xi definitely had an affair with some other girl.
No, perhaps it was the other girl who did it proactively!
"Is it the same as the thing that happened that summer? Little Xi, are you..." Hua Huo stared at Yun Xi in disbelief. She slightly lowered down her head, as if she was going to give Yun Xi a general check-up.
"That summer..." Yun Xi's face turned red. He remembered his teacher who taught him sword skills; who was not only great with her sword skill, but also great in her chest.
Because it happened when he was 12-years-old and that teacher left after only teaching them for a month, he couldn't even recall her name exactly.
However, they would never forget the thing that happened that summer. No matter himself or his childhood sweetheart, Hua Huo.
Because she was the first big sister who let him understand the fantastic thing about females.
He still remembered it was a sultry summer afternoon. That big sister called him to meet her in her own sword room, alone. (TL: Sword room: Meditation room in terms of cultivation).
And the thing that happened next? Yun Xi was left with a very deep impression.
At that time, that always very gentle big sister; her pinky delicate face was full of satisfaction, with a face wearing a comfortable smile. Her eyes overflowed with water-like tender feelings. That was a passion Yun Xi didn't understand.
"Little Xi. Do you want me to teach you something that's not written in the books?"
"Teacher, is it a kind of sword skill? But I'm not good at sword skills..." When Yun Xi was 12-years-old, he still felt himself to be a little inferior because his talent with the sword wasn't good. At that time, he was far less self-confident than now.
Which 12-year-old boy didn't hope of himself becoming a strong swordsman, defeating every opponent. Then in the end becoming a hero?
Of course, 12-year-old Yun Xi also thought so. At that time, he still had a slender hope about his sword skill talent.
So, when the new sword skill teacher called him to meet her alone, he was pretty upset. He thought: was it because his performance was too poor, thus the teacher was going to punish him?
However, it didn't look like what he expected?
"Sword skill is important, however, sword skills aren't everything." The elder big sister smiled. Her pink lips slightly opened as she said the words softly.
Such a charming scene was sent out with strong implications towards Yun Xi. Unfortunately, it was meaningless for a 12-year-old boy.
"What's the lesson?" Yun Xi was so puzzled. He looked at the big sister… she was looking at him with a blushed face as he asked a quite silly and naive question.
"He he, it's very important, about life and future. Little Xi, you are a good boy. So, let me teach you a lesson about becoming an adult." It seemed like she was drunk, the big sister reached out her slim hand to Yun Xi and smiled shyly.
Sweat stains appeared under her hair shaft. Her creamy white skin turned pink. Her aromatic breath made Yun Xi's heart beat faster.
"Don't worry. I won't hurt you. Or rather to say, I'm the person who will feel the pain." The big sister slowly covered Yun Xi's hands with her hands. Her intimate voice softly resounded in his heart, full of gentleness and charm.
The next was the most special lesson Yun Xi had since his birth.
Kissing, hugging, and touching. Afterwards, he saw her body, every part he could see and shouldn't see, her slender but opposite body type. Her snowy and creamy "double peaks", her smooth and flavoury shoulders, and her lowered down blushed neck. She was so gentle and beautiful, like nature itself.
The light red under her snow-white skin, her gradually lowered voice, and her gentle-shy but also affectionate eyes. Even though it was already a long, long time later, she still didn't disappear from Yun Xi's heart.
"Little Xi. Don't forget today." After capturing Yun Xi's heart by using her tender, delicious small tongue, luring him to fall bit by bit, the big sister's eyes turned more sweet and charming.
At that moment, her body was a gorgeous view and a temptation in Yun Xi's eyes.
Especially that tongue of hers when she was licking Yun Xi's cheek. It was so soft, making one's body go limp. Her smooth silky hair was near his face, its aroma was addicting.
"I... isn't this a crime..." The smothered 12-year-old Yun Xi was a bit distressed by the older sister.
"No matter what. If I miss this chance, I will regret it. As long as there's love, our age difference is not a problem! Who would go back to marry that idiot!"
"Little Xi, when you grow up, you must remember to come find me!" She kissed the 12-year-old Yun Xi as she made her decision.
However, when she was going to commit the crime, a sword cut the door of the sword room into pieces from the center down.
"Let go of my Yun Xi! You cheating cat! Perpetrator!"
"Eeek! When did you come here, Little Hua Huo?!"
"Yun Xi's body is full of your odor. I had found it earlier today. Don't put your hands on my Yun Xi! Take this my wind-like ten hits! Go to hell, you thieving cat!"
****
Yun Xi had no impression about what happened next because he was blown away by the turbulent sword-wind and was dazed. It seemed that the both of them intentionally didn't let him see the thing that happened next.
After that, when Yun Xi woke up, he heard that the new sword skills teacher had resigned. He was told that her house's small courtyard had sunk in an earthquake.
After that, every time unknown girls wanted to get close to him, Hua Huo would certainly come, and her words always made Yun Xi recall the thing that happened that summer.
"Damn! Was there really something that happened?!" Looking at Yun Xi's absentminded emotions, Hua Huo's intuition was raised to the highest level - Red alarm.
Something was wrong. There must be something wrong!
Ordinary females wouldn't cause Yun Xi to be in such a dreamy state.
Who? Who dares to leave their odor on Little Xi's body when she was away? And it was not only the milky aroma. There must have been so
me further contact.
Could it be, could it be like that damned coquette who almost did it... this new cheating cat had close contact with Yun Xi?
When did it happen? She was sure that Yun Xi's body didn't have this odor during the daytime.
"Yun Xi, who is it!"
"Come out with it, what's her name!"
"Tell me!"
This wasn't an interrogative sentence, but an affirmative sentence. As Yun Xi's childhood sweetheart, Hua Huo had a feral super instinct about Yun Xi's fate with women.
