Chapter 15: Lust is the Enemy of All Heroes Part 2
After Wang Wei failed the Fourth Pagoda Trial, he was not discouraged, instead he used this failure as a form of motivation. After he got home, he ordered all the female servants around him to learn Charm Techniques and use it on him 24/7.
He spent a whole month with a bunch of beautiful women winking at him at every turn and calling him “Young Master” with voices sweet enough to melt him like cotton candy. This entire month was both heaven and hell; seeing all the beauties at his disposal yet he could only watch. And it was not just because he was only eight years old.
After a month of secret training, he returned to the Trial. On his way there, he asked his Head Maid about what happened in the sect during this past month. Then he learned that a great deal of commotion had happened because of the Fourth Trial.
According to his Head Maid, many people fail the test like him, but they just endured longer than him. Afterward, many people were infatuated with the girls in the Trial and went there not to temper with their Dao Heart, but to enjoy the pleasure of the flesh.
Afterward, the elders were furious and sent out grave punishment to those who acted like this. They dictate a rule that a person’s record in the trial should increase each time they enter the Pagoda, otherwise they would be severely punished.
Another news was that the sect decided to heavily award the Fox Demon Clan for helping them realize that such a huge defect existed in their training of the sect’s disciples.
After learning the ups and downs of the sect this past month, Wang Wei sighed and entered the Fourth Trial of the Pagoda for the second time.
The setting of the trial remained the same as last time, but this time it was different. Wang Wei did not lose himself in the bliss of the harem. He attended court meetings regularly and used his wisdom to start controlling the court.
He used the foundation of the country to establish a secret guard to monitor not only the court, but also the whole world. He secretly raised a powerful army that is loyal only to him.
Wang Wei spent less and less time in the harem. Unfortunately for him, this trial was not that simple. After the nation started to get back on track, Wang Wei believed that he could take a break and pay more attention to his harem.
After a while, things just started to snowball out of control. He started to pay more and more attention to his harem. Although he had a sense of measure and still took care of the nation’s affairs, one could easily distinguish what his priorities were.
Soon, his political enemies plotted with one of his favorite concubines and Wang Wei was poisoned and failed the trial for the second time.
For the next two months, Wang Wei spent the majority of his time in the fourth level trial. His will and resistance to charm increase exponentially.
After the second failure, Wang Wei once again went back on the trial. This time he did not place all his focus on his harem and managed his empire completely.
However, the Great Xia Empire was dying and it was not an easy task to revive it. After placating his internal trouble, Wang Wei had to quell all the rebellion on his territory and defend against other countries from invading.
pᴀɴᴅᴀ-ɴoᴠᴇʟ As such, Wang Wei put on armor and went to war with his army. During his military exploits, he encountered a great variety of beautiful women.
Unlike the women in his harem, these women do not focus on lust, but emphasize more on playing with emotion.
Some of them awaken the greed for acquiring beauty on Wang Wei, some awake the desire to protect the weak and pitiful, some play the role of the passion between two people who are enemies but fell in love and decide to be together no matter the odds.
The most dangerous situation he encountered was simply based on love. He met a woman who encompassed all the qualities that he desired in a mate: strong, powerful, independent, able to help in his cause, and extremely beautiful.
She was the royal descendant of a long destroyed kingdom. By the time she was born, her family heritage was mostly gone; they had no economic, political, or military power. In fact, her father was at some point contemplating selling her to the brothel for some cash.
But she was not reconciled. She took matters into her own hands. She studied her family’s inherited martial arts and became quite powerful. She established brothels all over the Great Xia Empire as a way to get money, but more importantly as a way to gather information.
She secretly trained many powerful female warriors that are loyal only to her. She was what one would call a living legend.
Wang Wei and her met when he was running away after being assassinated. He felt in love with her when she was nursing him back to health.
Afterward, he placed all his attention on her and forgot his empire. He wished he could live in seclusion with her forever; to stay away from the secular world and all its trouble.
Unfortunately, this trial was not a place for a lovey dovey love affair. The women soon betrayed him by stabbing his heart from the back. Then she went on to blame his death on one of his enemies, then took over his army in the name of taking revenge for the emperor.
She slowly took over the foundation that Wang Wei left over and went on many expositions to quell the world. She established her own empire and named it Great Wei Empire to honor her dead husband.
As for what happened to Wang Wei after his death? He turned into the form of a ghost and watched how the “love of his life” slowly built an empire on the ashes of his former one.
However, Wang Wei soon noticed something wrong with his trial. After his failure due to love obsession, he soon reentered the trial and reached the part where he met his former lover, but the person he met was completely different from the first person. Although the background and story was similar, the face and temperament were completely different.
After asking around, he realized that he was the only person who had met two different people in the trial. So, Wang Wei knew that something beyond his comprehension must have happened.
At this time, Wang Wei’s intuition activated and warned that he will probably meet that woman in the future and in reality too. Moreover, he had a vague feeling that she would play a great deal of importance in his life.
