All Chapters of The Ocean Dragon's Bride: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Huxian, Langshen, and Ao Shun wandered down the emptying street, looking like rich bachelors on the way to the brothel for wine and women. Ao Shun was curious about everything. His friends laughed at him. This wasn't their first time in the mortal realm, but they knew about human customs. Keeping an eye on him, they allowed the dragon to do as he wished. Ao Shun walked, turning in circles, taking in the sights and smells. He looked like a small child experiencing the world for the first time, but he was 3000 years old. A few vendors were giving away the remaining food they had. Langshen accepted a bun. "Ao Shun, taste this." He held it out for the dragon, who readily accepted it. Taking a bite, his eyes expanded. A smile widened across his face as he chewed. Engulfing the bun, he spoke with his mouth full. "This is human food? I could get used to it." He laughed, wandering towards more food vendors. They handed him remnants, which he greedily

PURGATORY- Zhou Shuren hurled the cup of wine towards the head of the man standing before him. Yao Fu stood firm, his eyes clenching as the cup strikes him in the temple. He bowed his head, his knees striking the floor. "Yan Wang (the King of Purgatory, used as a title), I came as soon as I discovered the dragon had left and arrived in the mortal realm." He smashed his head to the floor as a sign of repentance. Zhou Shuren stormed towards his servant, grabbing him by the neck, effortlessly lifting him inches off the floor. "I should have known prior to his exit from the Heavenly Realm. You're like the others; worthless." He tossed him to the floor like a limp rag doll. Turning, his eyes glint with a black energy that starts to surround his body. Speaking to no one in particular, "The dragon has always been a thorn. His ego has surpassed even that of the Emperor." He cracked his neck, the sound echoing through t

Jin An opened her eyes, her breathing speeding up as she surveils her surroundings. The sun shone through the paper covering the windows. She looked to the door, her hands covering her heart, beating furiously inside her chest. The feeling attacking her should be one of fear and burden, but it wasn't. She had awoken mid-teleportation, feeling warm, and protected. She bit her lip gently, giggling softly into her pillow. Jin An lay in the bed, looking around her. She wasn't used to the furnishings being so fancy. In her home, she lived day to day with the money she made selling flowers, so what she owned is shabby and worn. She had never been bothered by the state of her home, but seeing the room of the manor, she felt like nobility. Slowly, she crept from the bed. Her head ached a little, trying to remember what happened. The three men had approached her as she was finishing up for the day. Her mouth hung open remembering she had struck the man in the face wit

ECLIPSE MANOR- Jin An sat on her bed, staring at the rays of moonlight peeking into her room. She blushed thinking about the way Ao Shun caressed her neck when he stared at the birthmark. Strolling to the mirror, she tried to see the birthmark he told her she had. She didn’t even know she had one, so she was curious. Struggling to look at it, her body twisted and contorted in various positions. She untied the top of her hanfu, pulling it down exposing the soft pale skin of her shoulders, and turning her head to get a closer look. Pulling her hair around to the front, the light reflected off her white flesh. The door to Jin An's room opened quickly, Ao Shun silently wandering in unannounced. He watched as she twisted, her shoulders bare, her neck exposed. His eyes widened at the exposure of her body and swallowed. Forcing his eyes from her nakedness, he smiled at the way her lips contorted into an assortment of shapes. Clearing his throat,

The Emperor realized, too late, the attempt to assassinate him; he raised his arm to protect himself. Ao Shun leapt in front of the demon, blocking the dagger with his arm. It sliced into the flesh, blood trickling down to the already red soil. One of the other dragons, cut down the assassin as the Emperor was escorted out of harms way. Zhou Shuren ran up, just as the assassin fell to the ground, a sword shoved through his chest. The Emperor was in danger because he had said it was safe and the demons were all dead. He droped to his knees before the Emperor, who is paying more attention to Ao Shun's injury. Zhou Shuren growled inwardly at being ignored. The Heavenly General, Zhou Shuren  went from praise to punishment. The Emperor punished him to Purgatory for eternity. Not dead, not alive; just immortal, forever in hell. Over the centuries, he physically fought others for higher positions, sometimes even at the cost of his life. Now; he reigned as the King.
