Luo Jianqing wasn’t a child anymore, so he couldn’t fit in his Master’s warm arms. Slowly, however, his hand creeped on Xuan Lingzi’s waist, gently pulling himself closer to his Master. After a while, Xuan Lingzi slightly frowned and let out a sigh.
He stroked Luo Jianqing’s back, reducing their distance.
This was the most peaceful night Luo Jianqing had ever had in the past thirty-one years since the day Xuan Lingzi commanded him to sleep alone. He fell into deep sleep in his Master’s arms as if he had come back to his one and only harbor, the warmest and safest place in the world. What surrounded him was the light aroma of lotus. The warmth conducted through his fingertips eased his mind.
In the middle of the night, even Xuan Lingzi was asleep – unexpectedly – given that the last time he did so was couples of years ago.
Moonlight kindled the room. It looked like they had gone back to dozens of years ago. A Master, a disciple, and a bamboo house. Nothing had really changed.
Since that night, Luo Jianqing abandoned his house, coming up every possible excuse to prolong the staying in his Master’s house. At first, Xuan Lingzi would still scold him, but after seeing his disciple’s dramatically disappointed face, he could do nothing but allow him to stay.
This time, however, Luo Jianqing’s plan was interrupted. Ten days later, a ragged young man arrived at the gate of Tai Hua Mountain. The guarding disciples were about to stop him from going further but found out the man was actually a Foundation Establishment Period Cultivator!
Seeing Tai Hua Mountain’s disciples, the strange man cried with excitement, “I’m back! Finally! I’m back!!!”
It’s been several months since Luo Jianqing came back from the Billion Beasts Mountain. He almost forgot that he had kicked Li Xiuchen to the foothill.
It was surely a difficult journey for Li Xiuchen to return to Tai Hua Mountain. Normally, one – after going through what he had experienced and even missed the Grand Septennial Competition – should collect one’s minds and take pains cultivating. Nonetheless, on the third week after he went back to Tai Hua Mountain, Li Xiuchen set off again.
As soon as he left, Xie Zizhuo sent a brother to inform Luo Jianqing of where the blighter was heading. Xie Zizhuowasn’t thinking too much, taking Luo Jianqing’s interest on Li Xiuchen as a result of pure curiosity.
However, when Lou Jianqing was told that Li Xiuchen left in such a hurry, he frowned and pondered, then went back to his house and started packing.
That night, Xuan Lingzi flicked his sleeves and turned off the Moonlit Light. Before he could position himself into a comfortable position, his eyes met his disciple’s limpid eyes.
Xuan Lingzi was tranced, then he heard Luo Jianqing said, “I’m leaving.”
“For what?”
“There’s something that I need to deal with. Master, I have to leave tomorrow.”
Still wearing his expressionless mask, Xuan Lingzi said in an ice-cold voice, “The Middle-stage Nascent Soul Period is within your reach. Thus, you should concentrate on meditation in order to reach the next level sooner. It’s an undesirable timing for you to leave Tai Hua Mountain right now.”
Luo Jianqing frowned, “But I should go.”
Bleakness dyed Xuan Lingzi’s pupils, “And I said no.”
Luo Jianqing pouted, “Why?!”
“Just, think about how many life-threatening dangers you’ve encountered in the past few years: you nearly lost your life in Sir Bei Dou’s tomb, accidentally confined yourself in the Liu Yan Valley, fought with a fierce Ninth-level Demon Beast and… Jianqing, if you leave for another adventure, I… Uhm…”
Passionate kiss sealed Xuan Lingzi’s lips, forcing him to swallow what he was going to say. The Master widened his eyes, startled by the intimate kiss. Luo Jianqing embraced Xuan Lingzi, and with that position he held his Master down on the bed, winsome eyes fixed on the latter who was still in shock.
Lustrous hair cascaded down, gently scratching Xuan Lingzi’s cheeks. The moonlight lit up Luo Jianqing’s resplendent visage; Xuan Lingzi was transfixed for a moment. Breathtaking, that was the only word left in his mind. When he finally regained his consciousness, he found his disciple’s lips were on his again.
With Internal Demons securely locked deep down in his heart, Xuan Lingzi wasn’t that passionate. He lay on the bed meekly, letting his disciple do what he wanted. When the kiss started to lose control, Xuan Lingzi squinted, suddenly stretched his arms and pulled Luo Jianqing towards him.
“Uhm…”
The young cultivator wasn’t expecting this, so, astonished, he opened his mouth, which gave the conqueror a chance to sneak in. Xuan Lingzi’s tongue licked inside Luo Jianqing’s mouth, dipping and swirling, which made him moan with delight.
Lustful vibe fulfilled the room. The glow of moon shrouded Tai Hua Mountain where the Yu Xiao Peak was the center.
No one on the Tai Hua Mountain would know that their most reverent Master Xuan Lingzi and their most respected Great Senior Brother were committing incest. They kept kissing passionately, releasing the desires that had been held back for dozens of years. When they finally disengaged, Luo Jianqing was sitting on top of Xuan Lingzi, panting drastically.
Xuan Lingzi gazed at his disciple impassively, but the flushing ear-tips exposed his emotions.
Luo Jianqing chuckled hoarsely, “Wu Yin, I need to leave Tai Hua Mountain…”
Staring at him for a long time, Xuan Lingzi asked, “Do you… have to?”
Nodded solemnly, Luo Jianqing answered, “Yes.”
Finally, Xuan Lingzi went silent and nodded, approved this decision.
They cuddled up together, seeming to have fallen into a deep sleep. Nonetheless, Xuan Lingzi suddenly lifted one of his fingers, about to touch Luo Jianqing’s forehead. The latter grabbed his wrist, slightly irritated, “What are you doing?!”
Xuan Lingzi fixed his eyes on his disciple and asked again, “… do you really have to go?”
Luo Jianqing went speechless.
On the next day, when the first beam of sunlight touched the bamboo forest surrounding their house, Luo Jianqing immediately got up, about to leave. He turned around when he reached the door, squinted at Xuan Lingzi, “Don’t you ever put your fingers between my eyebrows, again! Unless you have my consent!”
Xuan Lingzi was astonished, “… are you ordering me?”
Luo Jianqing scoffed, “yes!”
“Without your consent…”, Xuan Lingzi said subconsciously, “I can’t couple-cultivate with you?”
Feet taping the ground, Luo Jianqing took off and left Tai Hua Mountain with a blush on his cheeks, leaving behind his Master staying there contemplating blankly.
After three hours of flying, Luo Jianqing eventually caught up Li Xiuchen who was in a hurry. With that clumsy guy in sight, Luo Jianqing finally relieved. Gradually, however, he touched his lips helplessly, and mumbled, “If not for snatching opportunities, I’m willing to give in everything that I have in exchange for staying at Yu Xiao Peak with my Master… forever.”
