Voyage With The Pirate King

Acany or no Acany heir they wanted power but with the Huishe clan in their way, it would only remain a dream. Now Qilin Hao's mother noticed something was wrong with her cub when she was born and knowing her husband he would either use her cub to further his agenda or resent her for having this precious marker.

Unfortunately, she got caught before she could finish. She just wanted her child to be happy not to be forced to do something she hates just to please other people.

He caught her and took her cub away leaving her to grieve by herself. She was right. He resented Qilin Hao for being the first of their kind to have the Acany and worse off the child was with a female who hated his touch. He erased this Acany from her body because of the attitude of the Qilin clan.

They had a written rule that if ever an Acany appeared in their clan that person would become king and use them to unite all the clans under their rule like in history. But his personal feelings got in the way of the clan's agenda. Besides he already had plans to rule another place, a place full of weaklings who worshipped them like gods.

As though to punish his wife through her daughter he treated her horribly like she wasn't his. She had no mother, no father neither did she have a throne but she always seeked happiness. And to her happiness was getting her father's approval which never happened.

"Fast forward to the future, he picked my cousin as heir and treated him more like his child than I was. No matter how hard I tried he could never look at me. The one time he played the father card he asked me to marry an ally of his but l couldn't stand him just like my mother couldn't stand my father."

"He got so angry that he disowned me publicly and kicked me out of the clan. Now when I think of it, I was so stupid. After all that I still wanted to be accepted back into the clan and reunite with my father. The desire to get back in that clan was so strong that I even accepted the task he brought to me after years of being shunned."

"My cousin had failed to get what he needed so he turned to me to find it and promised a place by his side. I agreed and took my loyal followers with me at the prescribed point of convergence. And at the right time and right place, I opened the doors to this world. But something went wrong."

"The keystones scattered and brought along several Nocru which wasn't supposed to happen. At that time I panicked and desperately wanted to find those keystones so I could return home..... that is until I met you."

A subconscious smile crept up her face as she looked at him. She placed her hand on his cheek and said, "My priorities shifted. I wanted what my mother wanted for me. I wanted to be happy and I had found my happiness. Thinking I could just forget my past and have the life I deserved he came after me.... how he did it.... I don't know. He attacked me every night without rest... I could feel my aether getting tormented each night as he reminded me who between us was in charge."

Ji Wen's chest tightened recalling those nights she told him it was an ailment due to pregnancy. He was so worried back then acquiring the services of the best physician available but nothing helped.

She only got better when she started spending nights in the deep caves on the island. Thinking his baby was fussy and hurting his wife he vowed to make the brat pay as soon as it was born. Who would have known it wasn't Ji Yao causing trouble but his in law he had heard never even heard of.

"He still wants that portal to open so he can fulfil his dream this is why am left with no choice but to hide in this place otherwise he will kill me. He already damaged my aether to such an extent that one more strike from him and I am dead."

"The only way I can restore full health is going back to Niuq but knowing what I know about my father and his ambition I started to waiver. Putting you and Ji Yao in such a situation is not an option. Back then I could at least protect you if these two worlds merged but now..... I..... I am a waste.... and now Ji Yao has been looking for those keystones just to get you back."

Ji Wen felt a stabbing pain in his heart as he listened to what she had to say. He had never been one good with comforting words but he was a man of action. He strongly opposed opening the door between the two worlds as a bloody war would ensue.

Stopping his son from attaining the keystones would be the most logical choice. Any heroic person would rather save the world than his loved one but Ji Wen was no hero. He was a pirate. A selfish pirate with self-interests.

He had always been a selfish person even when he wanted to stop Prince Rui from getting the keystones. His reasoning was to protect his wealth from being plundered by the powerful Nocru in Niuq and two, screw over the person who robbed his wife.

Now his selfish motives had changed. He wanted to save his wife and kill the man who caused all her pain. This is why he now wanted that gateway opened. It was this reasoning that prompted this answer. "Ya Ya is much more powerful than you think. He will get all the keystones in time and we will save your life."

Startled Qilin Hao pushed him away. She hadn't expected this to be his response but before she could voice her concerns Ji Wen pushed her down pinning her on the bed. With his hands pinning her wrists above her head he leaned down and whispered into her ear, "Trust me... I know what I am doing."

His intoxicating scent wafted into her nose as his warm breath brushed past her skin seducing her.. With such temptation how could she remain lucid? Overtaken by lust she swallowed back her words and indulged herself in the fruits of pleasure.
