BLOODBOUND: FIRST FLAME

WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?

WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?

Jul 29, 2025

She slept comfortably on her bed, that morning she woke up late. She was supposed to resume by 8:00 am but she woke up 10 minutes after. She was so worried . This was going to be her first day in the film industry. She slept late yesterday and she was too tired.
 She hurriedly went to the bathroom to take her bath. She was in such a hurry that she almost forgot to brush her teeth. What was really wrong with her ? She thought to herself. She wore her clothes, greeted the maid and turned to leave. She stopped suddenly, she turned to the maid and asked " Where is Master Lu?".

"He left as early as 6:30am." Gu Ni replied.

"Damn" her boss left for work before her. 

"What kind of a worker am  I   " this thought ran through her mind.

She knew some of her coworkers would want to make her day awful by nagging her. Few minutes later, she arrived at the industry. The traffic really troubled her. She got to there by 9:10am . She still looked very alluring even with messy hair. LU Quing and some business clients were passing there at that time. When she saw Lu Quing she didn't know what to do. It was really embarrassing to her. She saw as Lu Quing looked his watch. " I'm in big trouble" she said to herself. Every company have their rules and regulations. And breaking them will warrant a penalty. Like in Lu Quing Film Industry, late coming would warrant a reduction in salary. She really needed the money. She had a lot on her plate. She has already budgeted herself. She walked to a small hall where she would act. 

" What took you so long?" Wu Lin's voice was heard.

" I'm sorry, it won't happen again" Flora said meekly.

" Hmph" Wu Lin sighed and walked away
Everything thing went so smoothly. The workers were also having a party that night. It was the company's idea. But she had a party to attend at home so she rejected the offer made by her female coworker.
Yueying got back home. She was so stressed out. She better use this time to rest. She had seen Lu Quing later at home but he didn't ask her why she came late. It was his assistant that asked and later advice to be punctual always. She knew that it was Lu Quing that had sent his assistant. But he knew she slept late. She packed her things into her bag. She wanted to prepare for the party. 
When she got home, she took the black dress . It was 6pm at as that time. The party had already begun. 
She heard a knock on the door. Gu Ni came inside the room. She helped Yueying dress up
. 
" You have a Chinese name?" Gu Ni asked.

" Yeah, Feng Yueying" Flora said.
 
" Okay ying ying " 

Yueying laughed. Gu Ni calling her Chinese name in that funny accent was hilarious.

" Wow, ying ying you look so beautiful" Gu Ni said with eyes opened. Yueying was just so pretty especially with that red hair that looked like she was an outcast.
Gu Ni was happy that Yueying was like a big sister to her . She wanted Yueying to stay longer in the house. At times she feels lonely and Yueying had been her companion since she came into the house . Gu Ni was 20 years old. Though she was from a rich home she worked as a maid in Lu Quing's house . Her father had disowned her after she got pregnant at the age of 18 but unfortunately she lost the baby. She had told the doctor to show her the child's body but the doctor couldn't provide it . 

" Gu Ni, what happened? " Yueying reached out to her .

" Nothing big sis Ying " Gu Ni said
She didn't want to disturb Yueying with her problems.

" Let's hurry up"  Gu Ni pointed out.
Yueying had a bad feeling that all was not okay with Gu Ni. She would find out later. Right now she has to concentrate on the party . The black dress hung beautifully on her body, her hair was curled and she let it down. She wore her shoes. It was a bit tight, so she changed the shoe to one Gu Ni's shoe. It was a red color just like the handbah and it complimented her red and black hair.

" Should I wear a necklace?" Yueying asked Gu Ni 

Gu Ni gave her a nod. Yueying walked towards her wardrobe, took out a necklace from a box. 
At the sight of the necklace, Gu Ni mouth dropped. They were only 5 originals in the world. 

" Who gave this to you?"  Gu Ni asked with eyes wide open.

"My mom " that was all Yueying said. 

" This necklace has only 5 originals in the world. It was designed by a woman named Moon Ni. After that, I heard she was shot during on my event ." Gu Ni said
Yueying thought of her mother. She didn't know why she kept feeling restless after what Gu Ni told her. Gu Ni have seen so many jeweleries. She could tell a fake from an original. 
  Gu Ni quickly got dressed. She was wearing a light blue gown. It was extremely beautiful. She let down her hair just like Yueying but her's wasn't curly. God blessed her her with amber eyes. Her eyes were very beautiful. Yueying had hazel eyes and it was very mesmerizing.
The two of them looked like goddesses. 
Gu Ni grabbed a white bag to match her gown. 
Yueying was looking so mesmerizing. She had always been a beauty. 
The duo walked out of the the room to the hall were the party had started 30 minutes ago . 
Zack noticed Lu Quing has been checking his wristwatch for the past 30 minutes.
When Lu Quing turned to staircase to check on Yueying , he's eyes fell on the most beautiful woman he has ever sighted. Yueying had a majestic walking step. She walks with grace and an air of confidence. Gu Ni was not bad either. Most of the men eyes were in them. 
They were whispers everywhere in the hall 
" Who is she? " a girl said 

" That is the disowned daughter of the Gu family"  someone replied Mei Chu .

" Not her, I mean the one on a black dress " Mei Chu said with an air of arrogance.

" I heard she works for Master Lu . They are a bit close according to the rumors spreading everywhere " the same person replied again.

" Close ? " She wispered to herself
Mei Chu saw as Yueying walked to Lu Quing 

They were many noble guest. Yueying saw different stars she always admired
Different men tired to approach her but because she was always at Lu Quing side they dare not. Her feet felt so heavy, she was so tired but she managed to pull through. Lu Quing sensed it 
" Go take a rest" he told Yueying
He new about her Chinese name. It was in her resume. 
"Ying ying" he called out. Yueying heart beat so fast. It sounded so seductive. She didn't know why her heart kept pounding. She tried to stabilize herself but her facial expression would not let her. She was blushing already
" OMG!  What is wrong with me. Ying control yourself. He just called your name but... he's eyes. Why is he looking at me that way ?"  Yueying said 
Or was she ..... drunk 
She was a bit tipsy . Lu Quing walked her to her room. He used a towel soaked in cold water to clean her face 
" Clean my legs and hands also " a drunk Yueying said 
He gave her a cold look 
" Shut up "  he said
Nevertheless, he began cleaning her hands . On reaching her legs he stopped. He was going call Gu Ni  or Zack but the network was failing 
" Damn " he cursed 
He took the towel to clean her legs when their eyes met. There was something like an anticipation in those hazel eyes.
He cleaned her gently. Her thighs were smooth. He couldn't help touching her thighs .
No this wasn't right. He was going to lose it if he continues. He has always been calm to stuff like this. What the hell was happening to him . He let go of her thigh 
" Continue" Yueying said in her half conscious state
He bent down. He pushed her messy hair aside and he began kissing her lips 
It was the long kiss
There was a knock on the door. He stood up to open the door. Gu Ni walked in. She gave Yueying hot soup to make her a bit sober.

**************
 The next day , Gu Ni explained what happened that night. She had actually seen Lu Quing kissing Yueying. At. First, she couldn't believe her eyes.
 " Ahh shut up Gu Ni" Yueying said ask she covered herself with the blanket.
She too couldn't believe it. But she remembered a bit of what happened.

She thought she was just a girl with a broken past and until she awakened, a sword ignited in her hand, and ancient fire stirred in her blood.

Han Yueying never asked to be part of any prophecy. All she wanted was a normal job, a quiet life . But the moment she stepped into Lu Quing’s world, nothing stayed normal.

Cold, unreadable, and powerful beyond reason — Lu Quing isn’t just a ruthless CEO. He’s something else entirely: a celestial-blooded immortal, forged in moonlight and war, the one who once sealed the Gate of Origins with his own blood.

And Yueying? She carries the First Flame — a dormant power passed down through her bloodline, sealed by her mother now awakening. A power capable of rebirth… or destruction.

But when shadows rise, betrayals emerge, and an ancient enemy begins hunting her from the dark — Yueying must decide who to trust.

Can Yueying survive the war inside her — and the one coming for her soul and blood?

Or will love be the most dangerous weapon of all?
