Xiao's life had once again taken a dip in depravity & tragedy. She was raped by her father and then forced into becoming his concubine. She was controlled via blackmails and forced to wear revealing clothes during court sessions. Zhang always took advantage of her and molested her in front of everyone.
At evenings Xiao would get visits from different ministers who'd fuck her intensely. Xiao had to spread her legs for them so that they'd support her during the revolution.
At nights Xiao would enter the harem where her mind would reach 9th heaven due to aphrodisiac mist and Zhang would fuck her nonstop along with other women and dual cultivate to the fullest.
In the mornings, Xiao would return to her room, take a bath and some sleep before some ministers come over to fuck her to relieve their morning wood.
Then in council hall Xiao would sit on Zhang's lap and let him molest her. In the beginning Xiao was still allowed to wear revealing dresses but later her clothes became lesser and shorter until she was barely hiding her nipples and genitalia in a micro bikini of sorts. Zhang said that only such clothes fit warrior women who feared nothing. Everyone agreed to his bullshit and Xiao was too submissive to refute.
Squeezing her breasts, caressing her skin, bouncing her on the lap was a daily ritual. Word had already spread that Xiao had plunged into depravity and anyone could walk into her room and fuck her. Her prostitute followers were already concubines of the ministers and followed them now. They also revealed about Xiao's whorifying past when she was a prostitute. Xiao had been reduced to a submissive sex slave.
-----
Deep in the night Fang was awoken by a knock on his door. Fang was not in the palace. He used to live inside the regiment building. Unlike ministers, he was a hardcore honest warrior who did his job right. A general need to be with his troops and not in a lavish palace.
"Fang ge, sorry to disturb your sleep but there's a woman named Sui Lu who wishes to meet you right now. She has a message from princess Xiao." Fang's personal guard spoke. He was the same person who had stood watch when Fang fucked Xiao in the banquet. This person's name was Yingjie.
Fang soon came out and reached the meeting room, accompanied by Yingjie. Sui Lu was kneeling on the floor.
"Why are you kneeling? Please take a seat." Fang said, frowning. He had a hunch that this visit and the message was not simple.
"Sir Fang, I beg you! Please save princess Xiao!" Sui Lu spoke and kowtowed, banging her head on the floor.
"S-stop this. You don't have to kowtow. Tell me what happened? Is Xiao in some danger? What message have your brought?" Fang asked.
"There is no message. I lied to seek your audience. Sigh. Sister Xiao is unable to even understand her situation now. She is trapped in a vicious scheme!" Sui Lu said and then proceeded to tell Fang about Xiao's situation.
Sui Lu was in contact with all the prostitute followers of Xiao's. These women in turn had already become whores or concubines of different ministers. Thus, Sui Lu had accurate information on what was going on with Xiao. Every passing day Xiao had become more submissive due to the stacking effect of the crystal ring and the harem strategy. Then the amount of aphrodisiac she consumed or inhaled, added on to it. Xiao had now become a dazed defenceless woman. Her molestations had turned into an open display of sex in the council room. Men had brazenly begun to crowd in her room, indulging in gangbangs and there was hardly any man left in the palace who had not fucked Xiao by now. Yichen and Mengyao maintained order to some degree so that Xiao was not taken away by some selfish pervert. She after all needed to enter the harem at nights to copulate with her father. These ministers would boast about their sexual feats over Xiao with their wives and harlots. Thus, Sui Lu learned the details and conveyed the same to Fang.
"Sister Xiao is a good person. She is a brave warrior. She saved our lives and wanted to protect the citizens too. For Carny she even allowed others to use her body. But this is too unfair! They have turned her into a sex slave! Please rescue her!" Sui Lu said emotionally and wept while continuing to kowtow.
Fang felt a pain in his heart. He had been friends with Xiao for two decades. How could he bear such a thing? But he frowned while pondering many things.
"First, get up. I promise you; I'll help Xiao." Fang said. Yingjie supported Sui Lu and pulled her up, taking her to a well cushioned chair.
"Sniff-sniff. Thank you, sir Fang! I'll be eternally grateful to you!" Sui Lu spoke. Fang shook his head.
"It is my duty to do so. All these people in the palace have lost their morals. When the ruler is wicked, so are the followers and the country is doomed." Fang spoke.
"But it will not be easy to get Xiao out. Doing so means going against lord Zhang. I'm not powerful enough. But luckily…" He smirked. "There are already snakes in his sleeves. I can make use of them."
Saying so, Fang summoned a dagger from his spatial ring and suddenly threw it in a direction.
Swish! "Urgghh!" A groan was heard, coming from behind a curtain. Yingjie quickly jumped into action.
"An intruder?!" He summoned his spear and leapt at the curtain from behind which a dead man was brought out by him. He had been stabbed in the throat with Fang's poisonous dagger.
"An assassin. This is already the third one this week." Fang spoke while Sui Lu watched this development in shock.
"Apparently Mengyao is itching to secure her power. Alright, Sui Lu. I will take care of things. You have my thanks for coming here. I would not have learned of this horror until late otherwise." Fang said.
"Thank you so much!" Sui Lu bowed her head.
"Where is prince Wind though?" Fang asked.
"…." Sui Lu fell silent at once. "He…he is perhaps in a fellow sister's care." She said.
"Hahah, you're bad at lying. I like you." Fang smiled. "You want to keep Wind hidden just in case I turn out to be like those ministers who want to use Xiao. Then having Wind in my possession will get me a trump card."
"…N-no such thing sir Fang!" Sui Lu flustered.
"It's okay. You've proven your loyalty towards Xiao. You may return to the palace and keep Wind hidden. He must not fall in hands of Yichen, Mengyao or their supporters. Can you protect him?" Fang asked.
"…I will bet my life on the line." Sui Lu spoke with determination.
Swish! A sword suddenly leapt towards her and stopped at her neck, stunning her. Sui Lu looked at Fang in shock.
"You're not a warrior. You could not even stop this sword of mine. How can you protect the crown prince?" Fang spoke emotionlessly. "Stay here. My followers will protect you and prince Wind. This assassin only manged to reach here because they let him, in accordance to my orders. I enjoy killing these assassins hehehe."
"…." Sui Lu was constantly judging Fang, in order to determine his character. She was having a hard time trusting him but she had already run out of options.
"Don't be afraid. We're on the same side. Though rescuing Xiao is not so simple. It might take long. In the meantime…" Fang spoke and summoned a scroll from his spatial ring.
"Practice this technique. This is the standard Empyrean grade technique that all of Carny soldiers train in. Yingjie will guide you in training too. You must get stronger quickly so you can protect Wind and help Xiao." Saying so, he left towards the palace.
Sui Lu already had the Valkyrie technique but she hadn't had the time to practice it much. She also lacked the fortitude of a warrior. But under the recent tragic developments, she was forced to cultivate. Now she gained another technique and Fang's protection. She only needed to work hard in cultivation now. Her heart was elated and filled with hope towards Xiao's freedom.
-------
Early morning as Xiao was escorted out of the harem by a guard, she wobbled in a daze. She was completely naked. The two of them passed by a hallway where the guard pushed Xiao against the wall and took out his penis.
"Having fun, are we?" Suddenly Fang spoke and the guard jumped in fright, turning around to find Fang staring daggers at him.
"G-general Fang!" He saluted Fang hurriedly.
"Hmph. I've been busy in work but heard some rumours." Fang said, looking over the guard's shoulder at Xiao who was still leaning against the wall, parting her hips and waiting for a penis. A smirk rolled on Fang's lips.
"I can't believe I missed out on all the fun." Fang chuckled before pushing the guard away and pulled out his penis. He then shoved it straight inside Xiao's vagina and began to fuck her.
The guard watched incredulously. He realised that Fang was also no different from the ministers and felt relieved.
"I'll bring the princess to her room. You may return to your post." Fang said to guard.
"Y-yes general Fang!" The guard saluted. Suddenly Fang threw a small pouch of gold coins at him.
"Take this and find yourself a substitute whore. Keep your mouth shut regarding me." Fang said. The guard nodded and thanked him before leaving happily.
Fang continued to fuck Xiao in the hallway. He was surprised to find Xiao's vagina tight like a virgin's.
Fwap-fwap-squelch-squelch.
Xiao's wet vagina made lewd sounds while Fang grabbed her hips and rampaged without reserves.
"Ahhn! Haanhh! Mmmm!" Xiao moaned erotically while Fang kissed her neck and whispered.
"Xiao, do you understand your situation? Are you still sane? I've come to help you. But of course, I can't let such a chance to fuck you slip by." Fang chuckled.
There was no response. Xiao simply moaned while enjoying the sex.
"…" Fang was merely testing. He sighed and picked up the pace, fucking Xiao faster.
Pat-pat-pat-pat! Xiao's big hips made clapping sounds as Fang's crotch beat it repeatedly.
Spurt-spurt! He soon ejaculated a thick load of semen inside Xiao's vagina and wiped his penis on her hips. Then turning her around, he kissed her deeply. Xiao moaned into it and was completely submissive. Fang continued to play with her body, squeezing her breasts and sucking her nipples, drinking her milk.
After a while he finally felt satisfied and scrutinized Xiao's body properly. There were bite marks, slap marks and scratches all over her white skin. But her vagina and asshole were too tight. This was highly suspicious. How could a woman getting fucked by 100 over men on daily basis remain so tight? Sure enough, Fang soon noticed the inconspicuous crystal ring. He took it away and also rummaged through Xiao's spatial ring, finding that it was empty. All her resources and cultivation books had been stolen. This was to be expected.
Fang took out a small bottle from his ring and fed its content to Xiao. It was 'nullifying potion' which could nullify the effect of all drugs. Sure enough, Xiao woke up from her daze quickly.
"Fang…?" Xiao uttered while frowning. "What are you…" Suddenly Xiao's eyes widened as she found herself naked in a hallway with semen dripping out from her vagina and flowing along her thighs. Her face flushed red.
"You!" She raised her finger at Fang in disbelief.
Fang suddenly hugged her and kissed her deeply. Xiao involuntarily went limp in his arms.
"I'm glad you've regained your senses." Fang spoke, breaking the kiss.
"We don't have enough time. There will be people visiting your room for morning sex soon enough. So, listen carefully what I have to say." Fang spoke, surprising Xiao. Her memory was hazy regarding what happened over past week but Fang explained it to her briefly and also about Yichen and Mengyao's scheme, Sui Lu's plea for help and his own plans. They conversed in whispers.
By the end of it, Xiao was frowning deeply. She now knew that she had been plotted against and used by everyone. Only Fang had come up to her aid but things could not be resolved easily.
"Remember Xiao. Only perseverance can help you get by this ordeal. Trust me. The day will come when I can rescue you & you can have your revenge. Until then, do as I told you and bid your time." Fang said.
"Hmm. I understand. Thank you Fang." Xiao said emotionally.
"You're welcome." Fang smiled and patted Xiao's cheek. Then he slid the crystal ring back in her finger and Xiao's expression became dazed again. Then Fang dropped her in her room and disappeared.
Soon the ministers barged into Xiao's room and began raping her as usual. Nobody learned of what Xiao and Fang had planned. Things remained the usual on the surface. Xiao continued to get ploughed by the ministers, Zhang, served every man with her tight vagina and asshole and lived as a whore.
------
The other night, Yichen was awoken by a sharp pain on his neck. He woke up and was quickly suppressed by a gust of chi.
"Shhh, don't you shout now or I might accidently cut your throat." Fang said smilingly.
"General Fang! What is the meaning of this!?" Yichen was shocked.
"You have to ask?" Fang smirked. "I'm just repaying the visit that your assassins paid me."
"Assassins? What are you talking about? I did not send any assassins after you." Yichen spoke.
"Aren't you and Mengyao working together now? Surely you knew about the assassins she keeps sending after me. Now that you two have ruined Xiao, only I stand in your way to the throne, isn't that right?" Fang smiled.
"…Nonsense! We are loyal to lord Zhang!" Yichen denied the accusations.
"Is that why you are gathering forces? Cut the crap. Do you think I'm unaware of what's going on?" Fang scoffed.
"…If you wanted to kill me, you'd already have. Why don't we talk things out peacefully?" Yichen proposed. Fang scoffed and removed the dagger. As he took a step back, Yichen collected himself.
"You have control over the internal forces. Mengyao controls the spies and assassins. I have control over majority of the army while Xiao has control over citizens. Together you got rid of Xiao first and then came after me. I'm really upset Yichen. How dare you look down on my wish for a prosperous Carny?" Fang spoke angrily. Yichen scrutinized his every expression.
"Did you really think that only you two want to rid Carny off Zhang, that depraved monster?" Fang frowned.
"…Of course not! But you cannot blame us. You're a proper warrior with countless soldiers loyal to you. We had to play it safe!" Yichen defended himself. "To save Carny from Zhang, we needed to play dirty. I'm sure you understand. We're politicians, not soldiers."
"Hmph." Fang snorted in disgust.
"But since you're here, I believe you intend to work together. Afterall, council has plenty power too. You need us against Zhang because that man is too powerful!" Yichen spoke.
"Indeed. I'm well aware of his prowess. I've fought battles alongside him. Unlike you who merely scrutinizes reports." Fang said.
"Then, please, join us." Yichen smiled.
"Let's discuss the benefits first. Afterall we are not saints. Since you and Mengyao had been plotting deeply for so long, I believe you two want to be lord and mistress of Carny. What do I get?" Fang asked.
Yichen smiled. He was not taken aback. His insight into people's nature was quite deep.
"Please state your demands." Yichen asked.
"South Carny and Xiao." Fang said.
Yichen's eyes widened.
"That's too much!" he spoke.
"Hah! Would you rather fight with me for the throne of entire Carny then?" Fang challenged while smiling viciously.
"I will take South Carny and rule it as a separate nation. Xiao will be my wife. She will also be my insurance against you two. After all, the public still likes her. Of course, you can spread the news of her turning into a whore but can rumours overpower her long established righteous fame? By having her, I will have sway over Carny's people and will be certain that you will not plot against me." Fang explained.
"If you keep Xiao, it will be difficult to coronate yourself. People will rebel against your regime. Then, is it not better if she marries off and creates a different state? People will be confused but won't rebel. They will also easily accept you and Mengyao taking care of the North Carny."
Yichen sighed. "South Carny is basically half the state. It's too much."
"My prowess is also too much compared to yours." Fang said.
"Sigh, alright. Fine. Let's do it your way. Let's form a cursed contract tomorrow." Yichen gave in.
"Okay." Fang agreed. "By the way, good job on Xiao. You really fucked her up haha. To think that now I can simply walk into her room and r@pe her all I want…your methods leave me speechless. What did you use on her?" Fang already knew about the crystal ring but he needed to fake ignorance.
Yichen smiled. Inwardly he was alert. "That's a secret."
"Please do share with me. After all I have to keep her under control after marriage. If she comes to her senses and wants to rally troops to take back the throne from you, it will be annoying. I don't want to kill that perfect slutty woman." Fang said.
Only now did Yichen believe in Fang. But he was still cautious. It was best to not reveal his hidden cards just yet.
"I will tell you after the revolution." Yichen said.
"Alright, I will trust your words for now." Fang said. "When do you intend to make a move?"
"At least a month from now. Let's discuss things tomorrow with Mengyao too." Yichen said.
"Alright." Fang agreed and left.
----------
The next night, Fang & Yichen signed cursed contracts. They also discussed their views, shared information and made plans of revolution. Later on, other ministers joined too. For several days these people gathered in secret and made detailed plans. They needed to have an overwhelming number of troops and make a move abruptly to take out Zhang's loyalists in one fell swoop. Even then, the biggest variable was still Zhang himself.
"I bet he has at least level 2 Master realm cultivation. It could be at level 3 too." Fang spoke in a secret meeting.
"I fear the same. He has been dual cultivating for a long time now. He must have progressed plenty." Mengyao said.
"Let's not forget about the Carny heirloom. It grants incredible power to that old man." Yichen spoke. He had lived long enough to have known about Zhang's power.
"…Is there a way to control Xiao without making her submissive?" Fang asked Yichen.
"…" At once Yichen fell silent.
"We need every bit of power that we can get. She is a Master realm warrior. We should use her." Fang spoke further.
"Tch. I have no such methods." Yichen replied.
"…In that case, there two other ways we can secure more odds in our favour." Fang spoke. "First is usage of strategies."
"The palace has a defensive strategy. Making changes in it feasible." Mengyao said.
"Indeed, we can turn it into a support type technique, gaining a boost in power during the revolution, or to trap Zhang." A minister agreed.
"But for that we need to either bribe strategy master Howin or seek one from outside Carny. But we cannot bring an outsider into the palace without rising suspicion and if we take his guidance and tweak the strategy ourselves, it might alert Howin." Another minister said.
"Howin is loyal to Zhang. Even if we offer him Xiao, he might not get swayed and instead spill the beans to Zhang." Yichen was cautious.
"What is the other way, General Fang?" Someone asked.
"The other way is to invite external forces. Make allies with neighbouring nations." Fang said.
"That is a suicidal move! I can't believe you'd suggest it. We'll be done for after Zhang's death. How can we fight those allies if their Master realm rulers want to take over Carny themselves?" Someone shouted.
Fang smiled and raised a hand to stop that person.
"This will be hoax. We will betray those allies and not let them in too deep & provide them only little intel on Carny's defences. The plan here is to draw Zhang out, assess his current cultivation, make changes to the palace's strategy, kill Howin while drawing out the battle. If by chance, Zhang gets injured in war then we can use that chance to backstab him on the way back. If not, then we have the strategy all set for our aid." Fang said.
"Hmm that is a good idea. Although there is some risk, it is still a good thing to go with." Yichen spoke. Others also nodded in agreement.
Some of them still had their own ideas and plans. The meeting continued for several more nights in secrecy.
-----
One day, in the council hall, Xiao was sucking on Zhang's penis while bending over. Her bottom was visible to everyone. Her lewd vagina was glistening with her juices while her asshole was twitching, eager to be penetrated.
The men in the council hall were having an urge to masturbate upon seeing this scene. Some were already imagining how they were going to fuck Xiao at the evening.
"My lord!" Suddenly a soldier barged in and quickly knelt on one foot. "Urgent news my lord! Carny is being attacked by Kol kingdom! They already conquered two cities and are moving forward!"
"…." At once the council fell silent before breaking into a loud uproar.
"An attack!?"
"They dare?"
"Which cities have fallen?"
"Hmph!" Zhang stood up and slapped Xiao aside.
"General Fang!" He shouted.
"My lord." Fang came up front immediately and bowed.
"Prepare for war. We are going to decimate Kol's army!" Zhang spoke. Fang smirked inwardly.
And thus, the first real phase of revolution had begun.
