The Primal Fire: Book 1 of Starchild Escapes Arranged Marriage

by Fat Bread

  Perhaps, this time, this new opponent was the most terrible opponent after that cheating cat left the village because of her family matters.

  Even she hasn't yet left such an odor on Yun Xi's body!

  "Hua Huo, make it quick!" Yun Xi showed a ‘Anyway, the worst thing has happened. I don't care what will happen next!’ expression and resolutely turned his head around.

  He wouldn't say it. Even if she forced open his mouth, he would also say nothing!

  He was the Starchild and had four overlord ex-girlfriends... how could he possibly tell her this!

  Why was Hua Huo in this trial?

  Undoubtedly, his jealous childhood sweetheart - Hua Huo - was the last one he had hoped to know of this!

  She was his first love, the most fantastic longing in his heart. If it was possible, he didn't want her to take part in his impending big trouble.

  A week. Just after a week, Hua Huo would leave the small village. She would join the place he would never reach - the Sword Palace.

  So, let him leave Hua Huo a perfect impression, as her childhood sweetheart.

  "Yun Xi!" Hua Huo seriously spoke out his name, which also meant that she was really getting frantic.

  Wee-wee-wee-wee, her Little Xi. Why has he become a bad boy all of a sudden?!

  No, she must understand what this absurd dream was and why she became the gatekeeper of the dark forest.

  Yes, the sleeping beauty!

  Hua Huo suddenly recalled the special keyword of her task as the gatekeeper.

  Chapter 12: Hua Huo's Weak Point

  "Tell me, Little Xi! Is she that sleeping beauty?! What's so special about her that you would want to go in the dark forest, even if it means you have to defeat me? And it needs you to awaken her by ki..kikissing!" Hua Huo's face suddenly turned red.

  Oh, right. It looked like Hua Huo was so shy that she didn't dare to look at him. Yun Xi had a vague idea.

  It seemed that Hua Huo had a weak point.

  "Tell the truth and you will receive a lighter sentence. Keep lying and you will receive a heavy punishment!" Hua Huo waved her small fists and knocked on Yun Xi's chest. Her expression showed ‘I won't let you go if you don't tell me the truth’.

  Yun Xi had no idea how to deal with this. He knew the power gap between Hua Huo and himself. It was not something that could be filled by hundreds of deaths. It was a desperate natural chasm.

  Did he have to use that method?

  This trial, how ruthless and twisted in human nature it was!

  "I'm gonna see the sleeping beauty!"

  "She dares to seduce my Little Xi. She must be a cheating cat!" A fire burned in Hua Huo's eyes, which made Yun Xi have a really bad feeling.

  Thinking back to the past earthquake-like pitiful scene in the sword skills teacher's courtyard... although he had never seen the sleeping beauty who was in the dark forest - however, since she was the sleeping beauty, of course, she was a feminine girl who had no power to fight against the last boss of the trial, Hua Huo.

  If Hua Huo found her, the trial would be equal to having been failed. Yun Xi was pretty sure about this.

  So, it was time to use that method.

  Sorry, Hua Huo. As your childhood sweetheart, I know very much about your weak point.

  "Hua Huo, look at me." Yun Xi reached out his hand to grasp Hua Huo's hand. He pulled his nerves together and sat up to get near Hua Huo, just like what he once did in the past.

  "Ah... wow... whoa..." Looking at Yun Xi's face that was getting closer and closer, Hua Huo suddenly fell into a panic.

  This time, she had lost all prestige as an unchallenged swordmaiden. She was just a confused girl who was lost in love.

  "Little Xi... what... what're you gonna do?!" She was the girl who pushed down Yun Xi and straddled on his body. However, when Yun Xi really got close to her, she was confused and panicked.

  This was Hua Huo's biggest weak point. She had no power to resist Yun Xi's intimate behavior.

  It was already an above-standard performance to ride on Yun Xi's body with anger. As for further intimate behavior? It was still a forbidden zone in this young girl's heart.

  Conversely, due to that summer, the hand by hand teaching from that gentle big sister and the forbidden game he played together with Ye Li, El'phyllis, and Milei in their childhood, Yun Xi was more skilled.

  This was Hua Huo's biggest weak point. She was a well-behaved girl, always jealous but knew nothing about the things not written in the textbooks.

  She sucked at intimate behavior. She was a well-behaved,and would be a virtuous wife and caring mother, a sword girl.

  So, when Yun Xi took the initiative to attack her, she immediately froze as her whole body started to tremble.

  She was too over excited and terrified, she didn't know what to do. Finally, Yun Xi kissed her lips and her eyes became thoroughly misted.

  "Woo.. en..."

  According to the kissing skill he learned from his sword skills teacher, Ye Li, El'phyllis, Milei, and Mei'er, Yun Xi invaded and occupied his childhood sweetheart's lips and mouth bit by bit. He didn't allow her to breath.

  "Little Xi... wait..." Because her lips and tongue were blocked by Yun Xi, Hua Huo sent out a vague voice, then her whole body softly laid down in Yun Xi's arms.

  In terms of sword skills, a hundred Yun Xi couldn't compare with one Hua Huo.

  However, in terms of kissing, a hundred Hua Huo couldn't compare with one Yun Xi.

  After all, Hua Huo was a simple sword idiot, she always practiced over 12 hours a day. The skill of courting was too difficult for her.

  I'm sorry, Hua Huo.

  After kissing Hua Huo till she couldn't breathe and finally making her lose consciousness, Yun Xi carefully changed their body position, letting the dizzy Hua Huo lie down beside him.

  As he expected, the trial wouldn't let him face an unbeatable enemy. At least for Yun Xi, Hua Huo wasn't an unbeatable enemy.

  However, this strategy he used to win, made people speechless.

  Except for Yun Xi, no one else could make Hua Huo defenseless and come into this attackable distance.

  "Little Xi... no..." Hua Huo's mind fell into a mess and her body also fell into a strange dissonance. She saw Yun Xi stand up and was going to escape, but she failed every time she tried to stand up to catch him.

  In some sense, Yun Xi's attack was a complete success.

  Run! Run! Yun Xi didn't know how long Hua Huo would remain in this state of disturbance of consciousness.

  He still remembered that year he was twelve. After he learned the lesson which the textbook wouldn't tell him from his sword skills teacher - the Big Sister. The first target he found in order to practice it on was Hua Huo.

  As a result, Hua Huo was dazzled for over a quarter of an hour. After that, she would never allow him to play this game with her again.

  Well, after that, the 12-year-old him played this game with several other childhood friends. They were Milei from the flower shop, El'phyllis from the gem shop, and Ye Li, who joined in on the fun later on.

  It was true. Yun Xi never thought there was anything wrong until last year.

  For children, playing something never played was interesting. And making their heart beat faster was a natural thing, wasn't it?

  Till the girls who played this game, such as Milei and El'phyllis, all shyly told him that they could play this kind of game much more often. That it would be better if he added the prefix ceremony like "wedding" for the game, then he finally realized something was wrong.

  As for the youngest girl Ye Li, she didn't make such a request. It seemed that simply hugging and kissing was already gratifying for her.

  Compared them to the new girl - Mei'er - she was the most zealous one. Her odor was unlike the girls who played the game with him, she had a fantastic but slightly milky aroma.

  Hua Huo should have smelled it, so she found out something was wrong. How sensitive her nose was!

  "Little Xi, stop!" At the entrance
of the forest, Hua Huo's voice was raised. Apparently, she had woken up from her trance.

  That was bad. Be quick! He should move faster!

  Sleeping beauty, where are you? Yun Xi anxiously searched the map in his mind and found he had almost overlapped with the green point on the map.

  At the same time, the bright red dot, which was at the entrance of the dark forest, started moving at a terrifying speed.

  The death line of the trial was coming!

  "Here!" Wrapped by countless branches, Yun Xi saw a place where it was surrounded by black brambles.

  A girl wearing white pajamas was laying still, sound asleep, surrounded by a bed of thorns.

  Chapter 13: Sleeping Beauty's Kiss

  Her naked feet were little and dainty, and only a little bit bigger than Yun Xi's palm. There was almost zero distance between her lovely small feet and the brambles. It seemed that any slight movement would cause a dripping bloody end.

  Her white insteps and delicate lower legs constituted a beautiful arc. Her snow-white toes slightly curled up like a cat's claws. She looked pretty shy and lovely. A perfect artwork in the world.

  The sleeping beauty had long black and smooth hair. Her black and smooth long hair was spread on the tree-made bed, giving off an elegant, peaceful, and slightly bright feeling.

  Her face looked long but pretty and delicate, charming and soft, but also with some naivety. If she smiled, she would probably look innocent, feminine, and tender.

  However, it looked like she was experiencing a nightmare. Her eyebrows were slightly frowned, it seemed like she wanted to open her eyes, but couldn't do this seemingly simple action.

  Her crescent long eyebrows, two lines of serried eyelashes, her pretty and proud nose and her red and nifty lips. In addition to her smooth, delicate and paper-like skin, these made her look like a princess.

  Even if she was only wearing nightclothes, it couldn't block her natural and exalted appearance.

  She was the sleeping beauty in the dark forest. This was the only information Yun Xi knew.

  He didn't know where she was from, or why she was sleeping in the dark forest surrounded by countless sharp brambles.

  "Sorry!" Yun Xi felt guilty and tried to tear away the black brambles from her surrounding.

  "Hiss!" At the next moment, Yun Xi was so pained that he felt his hands had almost been numbed.

  These brambles were far sharper than they looked, even giving him an illusion that it would bite at his flesh.

  Yun Xi's hands were already drenched with blood after he tore away one of the brambles.

  For fear that the sleeping beauty would get wounded due to these black brambles, he carefully tore away these terrible black brambles from the outermost part. Bit by bit, using his hands.

  On the tree-made bed, the sleeping girl's snow-white skin reflected jade-like lights under the glimmering lights, which made her holy and inviolable.

  Indistinctly, tendons and muscles appeared on her beautiful insteps. Viewing them from Yun Xi's sight, her slippery pink soles were unexpectedly soft.

  Look at her tidy toes and smooth skin! Five white jade-like toes connected together tightly. The rounded tip of her toes were like five crouched little white rabbits - they were flurried but also happy, with a wonderful but coy look

  Her rubicund soles were as soft as silk and her arches were as white as crystal. Her jade-white heels were ruddy in color and so appealing, making him unwilling to release them.

  "Hiss!" Yun Xi tore away another black bramble from the sleeping girl's side, resulting in a deep wound appearing on his hand.

  Something was wrong with these brambles!

  Yun Xi looked at his bloody hands. In order to run away from Hua Huo's side, he even abandoned his own weapon - the iron sword - simply in order to save a little body strength.

  There wasn't enough time!

  A series of weird "Click! Click!" sounds rang in his ear. In such a quiescent dark forest, no one else would make such a noise.

  Just do it! Yun Xi reached out his hands and desperately tore the tough black brambles at full force. And at the same time, the corner of his eyes were also looking at the path.

  Yun Xi hoped that he wouldn't see the girl who was speedily rushing here. He was spooked.

  Hua Huo was his childhood sweetheart and a genius swordmaiden. He thought he had thought of her to the greatest extent.

  However, the ability Hua Huo showed now was worse than his wildest imagination.

  She wasn't running. She was "flying".

  No. Technically, she was "stepping in the air". By drawing support from the countless big trees in the dark forest, her feet continuously stepped on the tree trunks. Every step would cause a fast turn.

  The trees in the dark forest became her footholds for flying in the air. Her every step was so fast that Yun Xi had an illusion that he was a slowly crawling snail, while Hua Huo was an elegant and smart hummingbird.

  Apparently, her body was still in the range of humans and Yun Xi could even see that her body was uncoordinated, just like himself. However, with her continuous turns in the air, Hua Huo displayed 300% of her body's potential.

  This kind of "stepping in the air" was already beyond Yun Xi's imagination. It needed an extreme genius to calculate, react, and prejudge. If it was him, he probably couldn't learn a little, even if he practiced to death for thousands of times.

  Compared to Hua Huo's ability to "step in the air", the stupid green hippo's combat skill was as clumsy as an original crawler.

  They were both at the 3rd Rank, but Hua Huo was like a legendary hero. As for the green hippo, he could only be considered as a big monster among all the normal monsters.

  Why was there such a giant gap among different people!

  No, time was running out!

  Yun Xi shook his head. He didn't care that pale bones had been exposed from out of his hands. At the price of almost losing the feeling of his hands, he tore away the last bramble from the sleeping beauty.

  "Eh?" It seemed that she could feel that somebody was getting close to her. The sleeping beauty girl had a slightly depressed look, as her white-soft small feet slightly shivered.

  "I'm sorry. This is a dream, a dream!" Yun Xi hypnotized himself. Facing the sleeping beauty with his bloody hands, he kissed the girl with courage.

  "Ah!" The sleeping beauty woke up. Yun Xi saw her eyes.

  What a pair of beautiful eyes!

  Inside her black pupils, it was free and easy, like she had seen all the beauties of the world. To be able to remain indifferent to whatever happened. But also, her eyes were so clear, like a pool of unsullied water; it could make anyone's heart calm down after seeing her pupils.

  However, at the next moment, her eyes changed.

  As if it was flame and lightning, like a flashlight, but also as if it was a bright light exploding inside the furious sea of lava. It almost ignited Yun Xi's entire body.

  "Little Xi! You have become a playboy!" Hua Huo was stepping on the air and turning towards him. With the dance of the lightning swiftness of her sword, she displayed an awesome sword skill which Yun Xi had never seen before.

  Like a flying swallow hovering in the sky and also like a dragon dancing in the air. At that instant, Yun Xi had a jumpy feeling.

  "How dare you!" The sleeping beauty barely reached out one of her small hands and signed a sword sign in the air.

  Signing in the air. It wasn't a power mortals could have. At least, it was a super power which belonged to 4th Ranked Heroes or higher.

  However, all of this had no relation with Yun Xi himself.

  The bright lights of the stars fell down and covered Yun Xi's body after turning into a light beam. Yun Xi's body turned into countless silver-blue particles as he returned to the real world.

  "Congratulations, master! You finished the newbie trial!"

  Mei'er's voice sounded pretty cute right now.

  Chapter 14: Three Seeds

  The light of the stars fel
l down. Star rivers and star clouds slowly rotated around Yun Xi, giving him a gentle and warm feeling.

  "Back... I'm back!" Yun Xi had the impulse to cry after seeing the warm starlight.

  It was too difficult.

  Why was the newbie trial so difficult!

  The first monster had the strength of a 3rd Rank. It could kill him with a simple slap.
