Chapter 64 | The Viper’s Gift

She caught lightly at his sleeve. "Can...can you come to my room tonight." Her eyes held his, but her voice dropped. "I don’t feel like sleeping alone."

Lin’s fingers stopped on the folded notice.

Feng noticed. Of course she did. She didn’t let go of Xu’s sleeve.

Xu touched Feng’s chin with his thumb. "Good." He tilted her chin up. "I want you too, Lianzhu."

The corner of her mouth lifted.

"And I’ve got a gift for you."

That made both of Feng’s brows rise. "A gift?"

"Yes."

"Now I’m worried."

Xu almost smiled.

Lin refolded the notice, the crease sharper than before. "Tianlong has another bout tomorrow."

Her tone was even. Too even.

Xu looked at her.

Lin held his gaze and said nothing else.

He crossed the space between them, slid a hand behind her neck, and kissed her on the lips.

Lin stiffened in surprise, then softened into him. Her fingers closed around the front of his robe.

When Xu drew back, he kept his forehead close to hers. "Yueyao. You remember what I told you before, don’t you?"

The set of Lin’s mouth eased. A faint warmth reached her cheeks.

"Mm... yes, Tianlong."

Xu kissed her again, slower this time.

Lin’s grip on his robe eased.

Only then did Xu look back at Feng. "Come."

Feng’s emerald eyes moved from Lin to him. Her half-smile returned, quieter than before.

"Yes, Tianlong."

She followed him west.

Her room was warm from the lamp when Xu shut the door behind them.

Feng leaned back against it for a heartbeat and watched him. Her half-smile was still there, but her fingers worried lightly at the edge of her sleeve.

"So..." She lifted an eyebrow. "This dangerous gift of yours?"

Xu stepped closer. "Still thinking about it?"

"You told me you wanted me, kissed your wife right in front of me, and brought me all the way here without explaining." Her mouth curved. "Of course I’m thinking about it."

He caught her by the waist and pulled her against him.

Feng’s breath left in a soft rush. "Mmh..."

"I said I wanted you, Lianzhu."

"I heard you." Her hands slid up his chest. "I just wanted to hear it again."

"Greedy."

"A little."

Xu kissed her.

Her smile disappeared into the kiss. She kissed him back at once, fingers tightening in his robe as the slow kiss turned warmer.

When he pulled away, her breathing had changed.

"And the gift?" she murmured.

"You’ll get it."

"Mm. Bossy and mysterious. Dangerous combination."

Xu untied her robe.

The fabric loosened beneath his hands and slid from her shoulders. Feng let it fall against the side of the bed, then reached for his sash. He caught her wrist before she could pull it free.

"Sit."

She did.

Feng settled on the bed edge, knees parting as Xu stepped between them. Her gaze went down his body, then back to his face.

"Is this the gift?"

"No." Xu tipped her chin up. "You asked for me. You get this first."

Her lips twitched. "Mm. I can live with that."

He kissed her again.

This time he didn’t stop at her mouth. His hand closed around the back of her neck while his other palm moved over her breast. Feng breathed into the kiss, a rough little sound caught between amusement and hunger.

"Mmh..."

Xu rolled her nipple between his fingers.

Her back arched. "Ngh... Tianlong."

He lowered his mouth to the other breast and sucked until the hard peak pulled tight against his tongue.

"Ah..."

Feng’s fingers slid into his hair. "You’re starting there?"

Xu bit lightly, then soothed the spot with his tongue.

"Complaining?"

"Not even a little."

His hand slipped beneath her skirt.

She was already wet.

Feng’s breath hitched when his fingers parted her pussy and stroked slowly over her clit.

"Hah... mm."

"Already?"

Feng gave him a breathless look. "You’re the one doing this to me."

"I know."

He pressed harder.

"Ah-!"

Her thighs tightened around his wrist.

Xu pushed them apart again and knelt between her knees. Feng looked down at him, surprise flashing across her face before his mouth covered her pussy.

"Tianlong...!"

His tongue dragged through her wet folds.

Slurp.

Feng’s hand clenched in the bedding. "Ngh... ah..."

He closed his lips around her clit and drew on it while his fingers slid inside her.

"Hh-!"

Her hips jerked forward. Xu caught her thigh and held her where he wanted her.

"Stay."

"l’m...Trying," she breathed, then gave a shaky laugh. "You’re making that difficult."

His fingers curled.

"Ahhn...!"

He found the place that made her abdomen tighten and worked it without hurry. Wetness coated his fingers, warm and slick. Feng’s breathing broke into smaller pieces.

"Mmh... ngh... ah..."

Slurp.

"Tianlong... wait, I-"

Xu didn’t.

His tongue flicked her clit while his fingers pressed deep again.

"Ah! Ahh...!"

Her knees drew in, then shook apart under his grip.

"Nghh... I’m..."

He sucked harder.

"Ahhn-!"

Feng came against his mouth with a sharp cry, pussy clenching around his fingers. Her hips trembled against the bed edge as a warm gush wet his hand.

"Hah... ah... ngh..."

Xu kept his mouth on her until the strongest contractions eased.

Feng looked down at him through half-lidded eyes.

"You really did mean attention."

"I haven’t given you the gift yet."

Her laugh came out breathless. "Of course you haven’t."

Xu stood and pulled her up. Feng’s remaining clothes joined her robe beside the bed. He loosened his own robe and trousers enough to bare himself, but the sword belt stayed fastened and the blade remained sheathed at his left hip. Then he sat on the edge.

Feng dropped to her knees between his legs without being told.

Her hand wrapped around his hard cock.

"I remember this part."

Xu threaded his fingers into her hair. "Then don’t waste my time."

Her eyes brightened. "There he is."

She smiled and leaned in.

Her tongue circled the head before her lips closed around him.

Slurp.

"Mm..."

Feng took him deeper, her hand working the base while the other rested against his thigh. Her eyes stayed on his face.

Xu’s hand settled in her burgundy hair.

"Deeper."

She obeyed.

"Ghk..."

Her throat tightened around the head. She pulled back with a wet breath, saliva shining on her lips.

"More?"

Xu tightened his hand in her hair. "Don’t stop."

Feng lowered her mouth.

Ghk.

"Mmh..."

The sound vibrated around his cock.

She found a rhythm, mouth and hand moving together. Slurp. Slurp. Wet sound filled the small room beneath her breathing.

Xu’s grip in her hair tightened when she swallowed around him.

"Good."

Feng made a pleased sound. "Mmmh..."

She took him down again.

Ghk.

Her eyes watered, but she didn’t pull away until her breath forced her to. She sucked air through her nose, smiled, then went straight back down.

Xu’s breathing stayed slow and even despite the long day and the heat in the room. Tireless Genesis Engine left no ordinary exertion dragging at his body. The qi in his meridians was different; that still had to be controlled.

Feng noticed the steadiness and gave him a look around his cock that was half irritation, half hunger.

"Mmh?"

"Keep going."

She did.

Her tongue pressed beneath the head. Her fingers tightened. Her throat swallowed him deep.

"Ngh..."

Xu’s hips pushed into her mouth.

Feng gagged softly.

Ggk.

Then she moaned around him instead of retreating.

"Mmmh..."

That vibration pulled a harder pulse through his cock.

"Swallow."

Her gaze lifted.

She took him deep again.

Xu came in her mouth.

"Ngh..."

Spurt. Spurt!.

Feng’s throat worked.

Gulp.

A little semen escaped at the corner of her mouth. She caught it with her tongue after the last pulse and swallowed again.

"Mmh..."

When she drew back, Xu’s cock remained hard against his abdomen.

Feng stared at him, then let out a breathless laugh. "That’s not fair."

His Endless Genesis Essence had already restored what he’d released, while Unbroken Sovereignty left him hard and ready with no pause.

Xu slid a hand under Feng’s jaw. "Complaining?"

"Not when it means you’ll fuck me again." Her emerald eyes darkened. "I like being reminded."

He pulled her up onto his lap.

Feng straddled his lap facing him, her wet pussy pressing against his cock. Xu moved farther onto the mattress with her and settled into a seated position without letting her get away. His hands closed around her hips.

"Now you get the rest of your gift."

Feng’s teasing expression faded. "Tianlong...?"

Xu held her gaze. "Open the bond to me."

Understanding reached her before he explained anything else. Her hands tightened on his shoulders. "You’re serious."

"Yes."

He let a thin current of ordinary qi move through the Genesis Bond between them.

Feng inhaled sharply. "Ah..."

The current reached her meridians, returned, and carried a familiar cold pressure with it. Something darker and thinner, the old venomous edge of Feng’s Shadow Venom Essence.

Her eyes sharpened through the heat in them. "I feel it."

"Keep it with me."

"While you..." A small, disbelieving laugh escaped her. "Of course that’s how you’re giving it to me."

Xu pushed into her in a slow drive.

"Ahhn...!"
