A/N: Name changed: Wei Meirong –––> Wei Mei Rong

It was evening, the blue sky had turned black and now instead of the sun, stars illuminated the lands. Wei Mei Rong put her cascade of jade onto her hair, put on a green, silk dress. Women these days were powdered in make-up, but not her. Even her father couldn’t persuade her with the matter. The only jewelry she wore was the jade cascade that her mother once used, it was very beautiful and had a phoenix depicted onto it.

Today was the yearly gathering of the five great clans; Wei, Tian, Wang, Xu, and Ling. The Wei, their clan, was the host for today’s party that would take place in their banquet hall. Wei Meirong was one of the main stars today, as she had yet to been married of – Usually girls would be given in hand before thirteen years of age. And today, all the young master of the four other great clans would be here. The higher ups of the clan had high hopes for her to interest one of them.

Of course, Wei Mei Rong herself had not a single of these motives. It was only because of her father’s order before he left, that if she wasn’t there when he was gone, he would decide a marriage himself. She got mad at him and told him to leave, which he did. Afterward, she felt quite bad and wanted to apologize, but he already left the clan grounds.

She took one glance at herself in the mirror before exiting her sleeping dwelling and being escorted to the banquet hall by her two personal guards, the ones that followed her back earlier when her father ordered them to do it.

After coming inside, all eyes were directly staring at her. After all, she was the daughter of the Wei clan leader, the most powerful person of the five greats. He was a third star nebula warrior with immense powers, and to get his daughter in marriage as the same as having a trumf card, being able to acquire help from him by using his daughter as a reason.

She, followed by her guards, made her way to the rear end of the table, the front from her view, and got seated beside her fourth uncle, whose was extremely joyous. He spoke with a happy voice while he looked at everyone, “Hello my dear friends, I’m glad that you all could make it even though the circumstances at the moment are quite dire. As you know, Wei song, our clan head, isn’t present and therefore am I here.

“After eating ourselves full from this delicious food, we got a few topics to discuss, we old people, while the youths, brimming with vitality, can expand their energy on the dance floor. Thank you all for coming here today.”

“Clap, clap, clap.” An applause following his speech and the party was in motion. Steaming, hot food was brought in by servants and placed onto the table. Glasses were filled with a sweet, fizzy drink for the underaged while the adults were served the Wei clan’s very own-made wine.

“Wei Mei Rong, what are you sitting there and sulking for? Why aren’t you getting yourself acquainted with the other young men and women of the other clan?” Her third uncle, Wei Lang, and her father’s fourth brother, asked her while holding and prospecting a glass of wine. The man was quite similar to her father; Grey hair tied up in a ponytail, a relatively short, knotted beard, together with some slightly effeminate features.

“Third uncle, I’m not feeling very well.” Wei Mei Rong asked her uncle hoping to leave the party as soon as possible. After all, she had a goal to accomplish and had to do it before her father came back. If she did it, her chances of sneaking out of the Wei clan’s grounds would be higher, “May I go back to my courtyard?”

“Nonsense!” Wei Lang laughed, “Your father has told me that you have to be here. You are the main star here, Wei Mei Rong! Go and enjoy yourself now, the guards will stay here with me so they won’t disturb you.” He gave her a wink and gestured for her to leave the table.

“Sick pervert…” She thought while she left the table and went to the dance floor some meters away.

The dance floor was rather crowded, and Mei Wei rong wasn’t very experienced of these sorts of things. Of course was she taught how to dance, as well as other skills suited for delicate, beautiful women that should win over the hearts of men, but she had never once danced with someone.

“Ahh, beautiful, may I have a dance?” A well dressed young man came forward and extended his slender hand, wanting her to take his.

She looked at him, and felt he was familiar. “Have we met before?” Her tone was neither warm nor cold.

The young man smiled, “Haha, Mei, don’t you remember big bro Shen. The days building sand castles we spent together?”

“Tian Shen!” She happily exclaimed, giving him a hug.

He was an old childhood friend that was as like a brother to her. But under the pressure of their two clans, they couldn’t spend more time together. After all, he was groomed to a young master, and she to a young miss.

She immediately nodded and took his hand. In response, he grabbed her waist. To admit, she had once had a slight crush on him, before she decided to become a warrior. But that was in the past. After clearing her head from unneeded thoughts, she put her own hand on his shoulder, it was firm and strong, she could feel his muscles beneath.

Together, they danced for hours without stop. Somehow, it felt like time had disappeared, and only the rhythm was left there. Under the constant moving and holding each other, the feelings she once suppressed resurfaced.

When they were done, and had left the floor, Tian Shen asked her, “How about going out to the garden? It’s been a while since we did that. Remember the times we watched the stars at night, Imagining ourselves to become great warriors?

She smiled, remembering those days where she had nothing to worry about, and answered him, “Yes, why not.”

He lead her out from the hall toward the garden. Once in the garden he turned around to her, “I’m very happy you came with me...” His mouth turned into a smile, “But you shouldn't have trusted me so easily.”

She frowned, “What are you talking about?” But he went closer to her and whispered in her ear, “You are so easily fooled, my beautiful.”

“Come out.” Tian Shen yelled, and out from the bushes, and from behind trees came five other young men in similar wearing as him. All of them had lewd smiles adorned to their faces and looked at her like she was a prey, one of them said to Tian Shen, “Great job, man. I couldn’t have done it better myself.”

They laughed, and Tian Shen shrugged his shoulders, “I’m honestly surprised though, the icy-queen of the Wei Clan was so easily seduced and lured. And here I thought that I had try, looks like I was wrong.

She backed away, fell onto her bum and looked at Tian Shen with fear in her eyes, “Tian Shen, what…” Wei Mei Rong tried to rise to her feet and run away, but was held in place by one of the young men in an instant.

She knew what they wanted, her father had told her about it. They were about to rape her, take her virginity, and remove her purity. Tears slowly rolled down from her cheeks as she understood her situation, “We’re friends, are we not?

“Haha, stupid bitch!” Tian Shen burst out into laughter, “C’mon, I only wanted to f*uck you! I made a bet with the others here to see if I could get you out to the garden. And if I did, we would all take turns.”

He removed the hold to the loose belt and let his pants fall down to his feet, “Darling, open wide!”
