Arranged Marriage- WangXian 1

by Jupizeuster

Summary

"Why do I have an arranged marriage?! I know! I'm going to run away!" With this, Wei
Ying left on his journey to find his destiny, trying to escape from the arranged marriage.

"I wish to go down the mountain" Lan Zhan said. "I know you agreed to this for Uncle's
sake but you should take this time to think this through. Go down the mountain, I will cover
for you" Lan XiChen said.

They both tried escaping from this arranged marriage but we all know how it's going to
end...

 Arranged Marriage 1

"Wei WuXian, get your ass moving! We have to reach Cloud Recesses in 2 days!" Jiang Cheng
shouted as he used all his strength to drag Wei Ying out of Lotus Pier. Jiang Yanli stood on the
boat, giggling at them.

"Shi Jie! Help me! You can't sell me away to Cloud Recesses! I heard that they are very strict and
that their food is very bland! I prefer Yunmeng! I want to stay and drink your lotus root and pork
rib soup everyday!" Wei Ying screamed, trying to run back into Lotus Pier.

"Wei Ying, come over here" Jiang Fengmian spoke up.

"Uncle Jiang..." Wei Ying walked over, pouting while looking down. "Why do I suddenly have an
arranged marriage..."

Jiang Fengmian signaled for the boat to set off, patting Wei Ying's head while saying, "This is not
a sudden arranged marriage. Even though Lan Qiren didn't see eye to eye with your mother, he got
along very well with your father. During the time they hung out together, they had already made
such a promise."

Wei Ying raised his eyebrows while Jiang Cheng, baffled, questioned, "I thought Lan Qiren is still
single?"

Jiang Yanli held Wei Ying's hand and said, "Have you heard of the Twin Jades of Gusu? They
have been under Lan Qiren's care since young so he decided that he is still able to fulfil the
promise. Your partner is the second young master of the Lan Sect, whose age is more similar to
yours."

Jiang Cheng poked Wei Ying, teasing, "Twin Jades of Gusu, huh. I heard that they are very
handsome, with incomparable beauty." He continued sarcastically "How lucky of you."

Wei Ying smacked Jiang Cheng in the back, "So what if they are the Twin Jades of Gusu? We are
the Twin Prides of Yunmeng and hmm... though you might not meet the standards but I am
definitely handsome enough!"

Jiang Cheng's face turned red with anger, "Wei WuXian, you...! You better behave yourself once
we reach Cloud Recesses and not shame our Yunmeng Jiang Sect!"

Wei Ying turned around with a hmph, deciding to ignore Jiang Cheng.

*****

"Xiong Zhang..." Lan Zhan greeted softly.

"WangJi, I know that you accepted it for Uncle's sake but don't you at least want to know more
about your partner? He is the eldest disciple of Yunmeng Jiang Sect, named..."

"Xiong Zhang, I would like to go down the mountain." Lan Zhan said, cutting off Lan XiChen.

Lan XiChen froze for a second but replied, "How long?"

"..."

"WangJi, you're still 16 this year so you have 2 more years to think it through carefully. Go down
the mountain if you want. I'll cover for you." Lan XiChen said with a smile, being understanding
towards Lan Zhan.

"... Thank you, Xiong Zhang."

I decided to split the chapters into shorter ones so one chapter doesn't become too long if your find
it boring!

 Arranged Marriage 2

"We're finally here!" Wei Ying said with a yawn, stretching his back.

Jiang Cheng smacked him, saying, "All you did was eat and sleep on the way here. Why are you
even tired..."

Wei Ying smacked Jiang Cheng back, making Jiang Cheng shout "Ahh, you!"

Jiang Fengmian and Jiang Yanli shook their heads, smiling. "Let's go, they're waiting."

In the main hall, they greeted one another. Wei Ying looked around and asked, "Where is this...
Lan Er Gong Zi?"

Lan XiChen stepped forward with a smile and said "WangJi has business down the mountain,
please pardon his absence."

WWX: 'Oh, so his name is WangJi...'

Wei Ying returned a smile, "No problem"

Lan Qiren nodded at Lan XiChen and Lan XiChen said, "Wei Gong Zi, Jiang Gong Zi, Jiang Gu
Niang, please follow me. I'll take you to the dormitory."

The four of them then left the main hall, allowing Lan Qiren and Jiang Fengmian to talk more
about the marriage. On the way to the dormitory, Wei Ying couldn't help himself but jump about,
exclaiming at the beautiful scenery, till they stumbled upon a wall with lots a carved words. "What
on earth is this?" Wei Ying asked as he scrutinized the words on the wall.

"This is our Wall of Rules and we have over four thousand rules." Lan XiChen explains.

"Four... Four thousand rules?! Shi Jie... Jiang Cheng... save me... how am i supposed to survive
here..."

Lan XiChen chuckled, "Wei Gong Zi, you have a sense of humour."

Jiang Cheng smacked Wei Ying on the back, feeling embarrassed by Wei Ying's continuous
complaints, especially in front of Lan XiChen.

The next morning...

"Wei WuXian. Get your lazy ass up." After a moment of silence, Jiang Cheng shouted again. "Wei
WuXian! We must go greet Lan Qiren and Lan Xichen! They woke up at 5am. It's already 7am and
you're still sleeping?!" Hearing no response, Jiang Cheng couldn't wait anymore and barged into
the room, only to find it empty with a letter placed on the table. It read, "I'm running away. Don't
bother finding me."

"Wei WuXian! How ridiculous!" Jiang Cheng said as he gritted his teeth.

"A-Cheng, what's wrong?"

"Jie, look at what Wei WuXian did!" Jiang Cheng whined as he passed the letter to Jiang Yanli.

Jiang Fengmian who stood behind her frowned and said, "Let him be. There is still 2 more years
for him to do whatever he wants."

 First Meeting

Wei Ying whistled as he strolled about Caiyi Town. "Heh, good thing I decided to run away. Sigh,
I still need to go somewhere further so they won't be able to drag me back. I should take this
chance to find some pretty ladies to hit up, while I still can!" Wei Ying complained out loud.

Lan Zhan who was walking past Wei Ying, frowned slightly in disapproval of this shameless
man's words. After walking for some time, Wei Ying passed by an alley.

"AHHHHH" a high pitched ear piercing scream came from the alley. "Get away from us!"

"Pretty maidens, hang out with us!"

"Why would we!" A girl in red clothes shielded another in white.

"Come on, let's just have fun!" Two thugs said, surrounding two maidens. One of them was already
grabbing the girl in red, forcefully trying to pull her shirt off while the other was trying to reach for
the girl in white.

Wei Ying shakes his head while walking over, "How ungentlemanly of you. Tsk tsk. This maiden
already said that she doesn't want to follow you. Aren't you leaving?"

"Who are you to interfere with our business? You're seeking death!" One of the thugs said as he
threw a punch over.

Wei Ying dodged it and stuck out his foot, tripping the thug. The other also came at him but Wei
Ying simply twisted his arm, making him kneel down in pain.

"You... You're lucky today!" With that, the thugs ran away.

"Thank you Gong Zi" The girl in white spoke up.

Wei Ying smirked and teased, "If you're thankful, you can start by telling me your names."

The girl in red, while pulling her shirt up her shoulders, said, "Hmph. Shouldn't you say your name
first!"

With this, Wei Ying grinned and reached out his hand, wanting to introduce himself. Just then, the
hilt of a sword came flying towards his arm. Wei Ying grabbed SuiBian and deflected the sword,
standing in front of the maidens to protect them. Seeing a refined man jumping down, Wei Ying
didn't think that he meant harm to the ladies. "Hey! Why did you attack me for no reason!"

Lan Zhan wasn't one to jump to conclusions. However, seeing this sloppily dressed person, who
previously said that he wanted to hit up some pretty ladies, reaching out to a girl trying to pull her
shirt up, he sent out BiChen. "Don't harass them." Lan Zhan said coldly.

WWX: "Wh-When did I harass them?"

Without futher words, their swords started clashing. The two maidens were scared, but seeing that
both parties were not bad guys, they stayed, trying to meditate the situation. "This Gong Zi, you
misunderstood him!" The maidens shouted.

With this, SuiBian and BiChen flew back to their owners.

"Actually, he saved us from some thugs..." the girl in red continued.

Lan Zhan kept quiet, his eyebrows twitching slightly. It wasn't often that he misunderstood
someone.

"See! You misunderstood me and randomly attacked me! Shouldn't you compensate me?" Wei
Ying said as he jokingly clutched onto his heart.

Seeing that it was a misunderstanding, Lan Zhan turned around and walked away. Wei Ying,
remembering that he didn't have much money on him, decided to chase after this handsome,
wealthy-looking man.

WWX: "Hey! Wait up! You need to compensate me!" After catching up to him, Wei Ying
continued "Hey! Are you free? You seem to be alone. Why not I be kind and accompany you?"

LWJ: "..."

WWX: "Hey, I don't know your name yet. What's your name?"

LWJ: "..."

WWX: "Well, my name is Wei Ying, nice to meet you. Our skills seem to be on par. Not boasting
but i'm number one in swordsmanship in my area and I finslly found a worthy rival! Your
swordsmanship ain't bad! Oh yeah, looking closely, your forehead ribbon looks like the ones those
in Gusu Lan Sect wear. Is this a trend in this area or what?"

LWJ: "..."

"Hey! Stop ignoring me!" Wei Ying pouted. Lan Zhan, keeping a straight face, kept on walking
ahead, ignoring Wei Ying.

***NOTES***
SuiBian is Wei Ying's sword
BiChen is Lan Zhan's sword
 Water Ghouls 1

"Sect leader, some villagers in Caiyi Town have came complaining that there are water ghouls in
Biling lake." A disciple of Gusu Lan Sect reported to Lan XiChen.

"Hmm, alright. I'll get WangJi to handle it." Lan XiChen said, summoning a golden butterfly to
send a letter to Lan Zhan.

***

"Hey, have you heard? The Biling Lake is filled with water ghouls. I heard that a ghoul was
washed up and after being cleaned up, no one recognised or claimed him! The water ghouls have
been sinking many ships. How are we going to continue our business?" A fisherman said to
another. Hearing this, Lan Zhan and Wei Ying looked at each other.

WWX: "Hey! Let's go check it out together!"

Lan Zhan walked ahead without responding, wondering why he even turned to look at Wei Ying.

As they were walking towards Biling Lake, a golden butterfly flew towards Lan Zhan and landed
by his ear. Lan Zhan then nodded his head and said "Noted" before the butterfly flew off.

Wei Ying immediately took the chance to comment on it, "Woah! What was that? Seems like a
message was sent to you? What did it say? Or do you understand butterfly language? Hahaha."

Lan Zhan shot Wei Ying a glance. Wei Ying thought, 'Hmm, this guy indeed came from a
somewhere prominent! Why have I not heard of such a rich and handsome guy! Tch, I'm sure this
guy would be a better partner than that Lan WangJi. Such a waste this guy is so cold!"

As they got on 2 separate fishing boats, Wei Ying asked "Hey, is water ghouls, boat sinking or
drowning a common occurrence in this area?"

LWJ: "No."

"Oh! You finally talked to me! Hehehe" Wei Ying grinned sheepishly. Lan Zhan frowned slightly,
turned around and started paddling. Wei Ying paddled his boat too, while grinning wider and wider
as he realised how fun it was to tease this cold guy.

"No? But water ghouls are picky about their area." Wei Ying said, getting back to business. "They
mostly settle on the place they drowned at. Looks like these corpses were chased here from
another location. Say, water ghouls are very clever. If we use the boats and take our time like this,
they can just hide underwater and not come out!"

Lan WangJi replied, "We will wait until we find them."

Wei Ying was just about to get bored when he saw the bottom of the boat Lan Zhan was on. "Hey
hey! Turn this side! Look at me!"

Lan Zhan who was keeping a sharp lookout looked at Wei Ying with the corner of his eyes, only to
see Wei Ying's bamboo paddle sweep up a splash of water and strike it toward him. Lan Zhan
immediately jumped and landed on Wei Ying's boat. Thinking that Wei Ying was still fooling
around, Lan Zhan got quite angry and said with a heavy tone, "Pathetic!"
However, Wei Ying used his paddle to flip over his boat, revealing three water ghouls. He
immediately shot Sui Bian towards them, cutting them into half.

***Notes***
The cultivation parts will be closely followed with MDZS (though not that much latter on)!
Because I am bad at it...
 Water Ghouls 2

LWJ: "How?"

WWX: "How? Oh, you mean how i knew? The displacement was different!"

Lan Zhan nodded, understanding what Wei Ying meant. One step forward, two step forward, Wei
Ying stood right behind Lan Zhan. He leaned forward and said "Hey, don't be so angry. I didn't do
it on purpose. Water ghouls are very clever you know! If I said it out loud they would definitely
swim away!"

"..."

"Hey, I'm sorry okay. I said I didn't do it on purpose. Don't be angry." Wei Ying said, using his
shoulder to nudge Lan Zhan's back.

"I'm not."

"Hehe, okay then." Wei Ying grinned, satisfied.

Suddenly, the boat started shaking non-stop. Wei Ying excitedly said, "It's here! They're coming!"

The water ghouls started grabbing the side of the boats, trying to climb up. Lan Zhan drew BiChen,
severing all the hands on the left side. Just as he was about to settle the right side, a red light
flashed past and Wei Ying's sword was already back in its sheath.

Although Wei Ying's sword attacked very quickly, having sparred with him previously and seeing
his attack, Lan Zhan could tell that his sword was of a very high quality. Hence, he asked seriously,
looking at the sword "What's the name of this sword?"

Wei Ying immediately answered "SuiBian".

Lan Zhan stared at him without saying anything, hence Wei Ying repeated himself "SuiBian."

Lan Zhan frowned and said "This sword has a spirit. Calling it as one pleases is very disrespectful."

Wei Ying sighed and said, “Think outside the box, won’t you? I wasn’t asking you to call it
whatever you wanted to, but the name of my sword just happens to be ‘Suibian’. Here, look.”

As he spoke, he passed the sword over for Lan Zhan to see the characters on the sword.
Surrounded by lines and patterns, two ancient characters were carved onto the sheath. It was
indeed “SuiBian”.

For a few moments, Lan WangJi was at a loss for words. Wei WuXian showed his consideration,
“You don’t need to talk. I know that you definitely want to ask me why it’s called this name.
Everyone asks if it has some special meaning to it. Actually, there’s no special meaning at all. It
was just that, when this sword was given to me, I couldn't think of any names I was satisfied with
so I said 'SuiBian' and after the sword had been forged, these two characters were on it!"

Lan Zhan gritted his teeth and said with a heavy tone, "Ridiculous!"

Wei Ying laughed and said, "You're such a boring and cold person. Looks like I named it well! It's
so good at tricking people like you! Hahaha"
Just as he said this, they both realised that the water colour has changed to black and they had
already drifted to the center of Biling Lake. Lan Zhan said, "Go back immediately."

"Why?"

Lan Zhan answered, “The water ghouls led us to the center of Biling Lake on purpose.”

Just as he finished his words, they felt their boats sinking. Wei Ying realised that at the center of
the lake, a large whirlpool had formed. Their boat spun uncontrollably. Wei Ying and Lan Zhan
looked at each other and mounted their swords at the same time.

Wei Ying looked around and spotted a boat coming into Biling Lake caught up in the whirlpool.
There was a man on it and he seemed like he had fainted. He immediately dashed towards the boat
and grabbed the man by the arm. Wei Ying's sword was very agile but not that strong. With the
weight of another man, Wei Ying was barely balancing himself.

Suddenly, Wei Ying felt his collar tighten and he was lifted into the air. He looked up and saw Lan
Zhan grabbing his collar with one hand, though Lan Zhan continued looking at the whirlpool
expressionless. Seeing that Lan Zhan's sword could hold the weight of three people and continue
rising up steadily, he thought, 'Wow! This man is not only rich and handsome. He is very strong
too! Worthy...'

"Hey! Your sword is quite strong! Thanks for your help! But... can you grab my arm instead? It's so
uncomfortable when you grab my collar. Here, grab my arm!" Wei Ying said, reaching his arm
upwards.

Lan Zhan coldly replied "I don't touch strangers"

Wei Ying said "What do you mean strangers? We're already familiar with each other! All that's
lacking is your name!"

LZ: "We are not"

WWX: "Tsk, you're cold indeed. But we're definitely buddies already! Besides, that was a
waterborne abyss, wasn't it. You said drowning is not a common occurrence right? Then why
would Biling Lake have a waterborne abyss?"

Lan Zhan, shocked that Wei Ying actually knew that it was a waterborne abyss, replied, "It must
have been chased here from somewhere else."

"Mn, I agree. That's the only possible explanation." Wei Ying said, nodding his head.
 Loquats

Just then, they reached the port and Lan Zhan let go off Wei Ying's collar. They then boarded a
new boat to travel through the rivers.

WWX: "Say, wouldn't this be that... Gusu Lan Sect's problem? Why do you think they haven't
settled it. I expected them to be more efficient than this..."

Hearing this, Lan Zhan took a step backward, further distancing himself from Wei Ying. Wei Ying
who caught Lan Zhan distancing himself thought 'This guy is really not sociable..."

After passing a bridge, they entered an area where there are boats by the side selling fruits and
vegetables and Wei Ying... started flirting again. He quickly styled his hair and started winking at a
few women selling loquats. "Young Maidens, how much for half a kilogram of loquats?"

With Wei Ying, a handsome young man winking at the ladies, they were certainly charmed by
him. "Handsome young man, how about i give you one for free!" "Me too!"

Wei Ying winked at them again and said, "Loquats given by such beautiful maidens, I want it!"

The two woman immediately threw him a loquat each and said "It's because you are so handsome!"
"Shall we go on a date sometime?"

Wei Ying caught both loquats with one hand and said "Next time I come, I'll stay longer and buy
more loquats!"

As Wei Ying flirted with them, Lan Zhan turned his head to the side. Wei Ying then turned around
and pointed at him, "Maidens, do your think that this guy is handsome too?"

Lan Zhan did not expect Wei Ying to involve him. Beneath his expressionless face, he was
flustered and was thinking of how to respond.

"He is very handsome too!"

Wei Ying, expecting this response, said "Then who is giving him loquats too? I'm afraid that he
will get jealous when we go back!"

The river erupted with laughter. Lan Zhan frowned slightly, unsure of how to react in such a
situation.

A maiden in front then said, "Alright! I'll give him two!"

After Wei Ying caught the two with his other hand, he shouted, "I'll thank you for him! You're not
only pretty but nice too!"

After leaving that area, Wei Ying shoved the loquat in Lan Zhan's face. Lan Zhan, still looking at
the side, only said one word. "Move."

Wei Ying took his hand back and said "Hmph, I knew that you wouldn't take it. I didn't intend to
give it to you either. I'm just showing off! They're all mine!"

WWX: "Hey! You're from around here right? Teach me your dialect! The maidens sounded very
pleasant. I want to learn how to flirt and swear in Gusu dialect!"
LWJ: "Shameless!"

WWX: "Hahaha, what are you being shy for? You should share good things with your buddy!"
 Tea Shop

It was evening and they arrived at a famous tea shop. Lan Zhan signaled the waiter to get him a
room. Outside the door to the room, Lan Zhan just stood there, motionless, without a word.

WWX: "Hey, why aren't you going in?"

LWJ: "You... Why are you following me... ?"

WWX: "You're only asking this now? I've been following you the whole day!"

LWJ: "..."

WWX: "Hey, let me in too won't you"

Lan Zhan turned around and gave him a '?' look. Lan Zhan thought 'This person... did he say his
name is Wei Ying? Why is he still following me? Why is he... Does he trust me or what? I... I can't
understand him... What should I do? Am I supposed to let him follow me in?'

Wei Ying seeing him deep in thoughts, decided to interrupt him "Hey, you're kind, good-looking
and have a lot of mon(Wei Ying almost said money)... have a lot of good traits! I have nowhere to
go. We've already experienced a lot together, won't you take pity on me? I won't do anything to
you!"

Lan Zhan, not knowing what to do, decided to enter the room first. Just when he was about to shut
the door, Wei Ying placed one foot in. "Hehe, thanks for taking me in!"

Lan Zhan was left speechless. "Wow! Look! There's actually two beds! How lucky! It's just nice
for us isn't it. What a waste it would be if I weren't here!" Wei Ying said as he jumped around the
room.

Lan Zhan headed straight to the table and sat down while Wei Ying headed straight to the bed and
laid down. After a while of Lan Zhan ignoring Wei Ying, two knocks were heard. "Two young
masters, would you like dinner?"

Wei Ying immediately jumped up and shouted: "Yes yes! Two sets please! We're eating in the
room!"

Wei Ying then opened the door and whispered to the waiter "And a jar of wine please." He thought
to himself, 'I'll surprise this guy with wine! Then he'll get along better with me!'

Soon, the meal was delivered. Wei Ying immediately sat down and poured the wine into a cup. He
then offered it to Lan Zhan who was about to sit down. Lan Zhan grabbed another cup and poured
freshly brewed tea into it.

WWX: "Hey, I don't want tea. I want wine too!"

Lan Zhan drank the tea and poured more. Wei Ying realised that Lan Zhan was ignoring him.
"Hey, don't be shy! I ordered this wine specially for you. It's the best in your area! Come!"

Lan Zhan started eating, ignoring Wei Ying. "Hey! After all we've been through, won't you drink a
cup with me?"

Lan Zhan put down his chopsticks. "I don't drink alcohol."
Wei Ying said in disbelief, "What? You're a man and you don't drink alcohol? You really don't
know how to appreciate things in life huh. It's fine, I'll teach you! Come, drink..."

He was interrupted by Lan Zhan who said "No talking when eating."

"Tch, fine, I'll drink it all myself" Wei Ying said, understanding that Lan Zhan had no intention on
touching the wine.

After finishing their meal, Lan Zhan stood up and was about to walk away when he was stopped
by a golden thread on his wrist. He looked at it and gave Wei Ying a questioned look.

WWX: "Hey, where are you going?"

LWJ: "What's this?"

Wei Ying then proudly said, "Hmph, it's my newest creation. Aren't I a genius? This will prevent
you from moving more than two meters away from me."

Wei Ying then continued teasing, "So... what should i call it? Brothers-in-hand? Partners? Love
link?"

Lan Zhan just said "Lame" and walked over to his bed.

Wei Ying, knowing that Lan Zhan will ignore him, laid in his bed and played around with SuiBian.
After a while, Wei Ying got bored and started talking to Lan Zhan, asking him for his name and
other questions which Lan Zhan didn't reply to.

WWX: "Why are you still ignoring me? You..."

LWJ: "It's 9pm. Sleep."

Wei Ying looked at him with disbelief. 'This guy... though he's handsome and rich and is fun to
tease... he walks and talks so elegantly, he must be brought up strictly. He also doesn't drink
alcohol, sleeps at 9, isn't he a little old fashioned? I know! I'll call him Old Fashioned Boy!
Hahaha, he will definitely frown again' Thinking and thinking, Wei Ying fell asleep too.
 Tan Zhou

Bump. Wei Ying rolled off the bed. "Ow..." he groaned. Opening his eyes, he looked at the
window and it was only dawn. He was about to go back to his sleep when his hand was pulled by
something. He saw Lan Zhan standing at the door, trying to walk away, dragging Wei Ying and
thought to himself 'Hehe, you can't break my golden thread.'

WWX: "Hey, the sky isn't even bright. What are you doing?"

Lan Zhan lifted his hand up and said with a cold face, "Remove it."

Wei Ying jokingly placed his hands over his chest and said "We just met... you can't ask me to
remove my clothes so quickly, old fashioned boy."

Lan Zhan widened his eyes. With that joke and being called "Old Fashioned Boy", he wasn't sure
of how to react. "Shameless!"

Lan Zhan then turned around and walked out, not caring that he was dragging Wei Ying. Wei Ying
felt a little more awake and energized after seeing Lan Zhan's reaction to his teasing, getting up and
chasing after Lan Zhan. "Wait up! I'm coming with you!"

WWX: "Where are we going?"

LWJ: "..."

***

After walking a distance, Wei Ying got bored and decided to tease Lan Zhan again. Walking
backwards while facing Lan Zhan, he started "Bringing me into the mountains, could it be... you
prefer doing unspeakable things to me in the mountains?"

Lan Zhan widened his eyes "You... Shameless!"

Wei Ying, satisfied that he managed to change Lan Zhan's expressions, whistled as he skipped
alongside Lan Zhan.

***

After a week of travelling Northwest, they reached a small city near Qinghe, called Tan Zhou. Wei
Ying, finally seeing a place with people and things other than Lan Zhan and mountains, excitedly
jumped about, looking from one store to another. He was used to the fresh air and the scent of
sandalwood Lan Zhan gave off. When he smelled the strong fragrance of perfume, he immediately
shouted in a shock "What kind of smell is your store giving off?"

The store owner immediately introduced his items and said "Here we sell face powder. Your
woman will be happy if you buy one for her!"

"Hmmm," Wei Ying said, which caught Lan Zhan's attention.

"Don't bother others if you're not buying it." Lan Zhan said, wanting to walk off.

Wei Ying immediately pounced on Lan Zhan and patted around his chest. Being with Wei Ying for
a week, Lan Zhan has almost gotten used to Wei Ying suddenly doing some absurd things like
grabbing onto Lan Zhan's leg when he didn't want to walk anymore. Lan Zhan thought that it was a
wonder how he managed to get "used to it".

"Ahah! I found your money pouch! Who said I don't want to buy it" Wei Ying grinned as he
walked back to the store owner. "Give me 3 please"

Lan Zhan froze for a second and sneaked a glance at Wei Ying, "He has a woman? Wait... it's none
of my business.."

Wei Ying when buying the face powders, thought 'Wow, he has way more money in here than I
expected. This can last me a year!'

After buying, he hopped to Lan Zhan's side and reached out his hand. "Old Fashioned Boy! I'll
give you one to celebrate our one week wedding anniversary!"

Lan Zhan widened his eyes in surprise. "What wedding anniversary?!" He blurted out. Realising
that he blurted out his thoughts, he got flustered and said "Ridiculous!" before walking quicker.

Wei Ying laughed so badly he knocked into someone while catching up to Lan Zhan. He reached
his hand out, dangling Lan Zhan's money purse in front of his face. "Old fashioned boy, you forgot
something"

Lan Zhan reached out to grab his money purse when Wei Ying took back his hand. Lan Zhan shot
him a '?' look. "Hehe, it's too late. I have decided to control your spending! I'll be in charge of your
finance!" Wei Ying said while thinking 'He will have to think twice before leaving me behind'.

Lan Zhan walked on ahead. A thought flashed passed Wei Ying's mind 'He's not afraid I'll run
away with his money? Maybe he's going to take it back when he can.'

Soon, they slowed down their steps as they saw a crowd gathering around a board. Wei Ying was
curious and said "Let's go, let's go"

Seeing that Lan Zhan didn't move a single step, Wei Ying asked "What's wrong? Why aren't you
moving?"

Lan Zhan replied "Crowded." Wei Ying grabbed his wrist and said "It's not crowded, not crowded
at all!" while dragging Lan Zhan towards the board.

When they got near, Wei Ying let go of Lan Zhan's wrist and tried to see the board but there were
too many people in front. Lan Zhan took a step backwards. Wei Ying curiously asked the person in
front, "Sir, what's going on?"

"Have you not seen the board? It said that the owner would pay anyone who could get rid of a
fierce corpse trying to enter their house at night!"
 Fierce Corpse 1

Lan Zhan and Wei Ying looked at each other and nodded their heads, as if they were telepathic.
The soon reached the Qing Estate. The owner who saw Lan Zhan dressed so elegantly and both
Lan Zhan and Wei Ying carrying spiritual swords, he knew that they were cultivators and
immediately welcomed them.

As they entered the room, they saw crimson footsteps all over the ground, the garden in a mess.
"Ah, last night the fierce corpse managed to jump past the door. I was in the main hall looking at
some scrolls when i realised that it kept hopping around the main hall, trying to get in."

While Lan Zhan walked around the main hall, Wei Ying asked "It actually managed to jump past
the threshold? Did you notice anything wrong about the corpse last night?"

The owner stuttered "The corpse was... erm... how should i put it..."

"Limping." Lan Zhan said, returning.

The owner nodded his head furiously and said "That's right, that's right. But... how did you know?"

Wei Ying who had been staring at the footsteps then said "The footsteps. A single-legged corpse?"

Lan Zhan nodded his head. Wei Ying then asked the owner "Do you perhaps know anyone who
walked on one leg before he died?"

"What do you mean by that?" The owner asked, slightly offended.

WWX: "Ah ah! I don't mean anything. It's just that when a fierce corpse come, it's usually to find a
particular person. It might have been someone you knew. Did you know who the corpse was?"

After hesitating for a while, the owner said "No. I didn't see the corpse clearly."

WWX: "I see. Then you don't have to worry for now."

The owner panicked "Don't worry? How can I not? Can you give me some talismans to chase away
the fierce corpse?"

WWX: "No, you still have the main hall and your bedroom as a line of defence. There is still no
danger. "

"But..." The owner's face was full of worries.

WWX: "Don't worry, we'll be back tomorrow to check."

The owner then reluctantly agreed to wait till the next day.

***

It was nearing evening and Lan Zhan and Wei Ying went off to find an inn to stay at.

WWX: "Old fashioned boy, don't you think that it was strange when he insisted he didn't see the
corpse clearly."

LWJ: "Yes, it is."

Wei Ying said "Hehe, great minds think alike!" as they reached an inn. "One room please."

Even though the inn was very busy, the waiter came to them almost immediately. "Yes, Young
Masters. Would your like dinner too?"

LWJ: "Yes. Upstairs."

Wei Ying was shocked that Lan Zhan replied. As Lan Zhan headed upstairs, Wei Ying pulled the
waiter back and said, "And a jar of your best wine."

The waiter nodded and Wei Ying headed upstairs too. He saw Lan Zhan standing near the door,
blocking his way. He pushed Lan Zhan a little and said "Why didn't you go in?"

After looking around the room, he turned back to Lan Zhan who was stating at the bed. He then
said "Ahh, there's only one bed. Is that why you're worried? This bed seems quite big. It can even
fit three people! We're both skinny enough to fit on the same bed."

Lan Zhan kept silent, thinking 'This Wei Ying actually suggested sleeping on the same bed? I have
never shared a... Is it really alright... I should just get another...'

His thoughts were interrupted by two knocks. He turned around to see the waiter carrying two trays
of food in. "Two young masters, please enjoy." The waiter then left and closed the door.

Wei Ying immediately ran towards the food. Seeing Lan Zhan still in a daze, he pulled Lan Zhan
over and made him sit down. "It's time to eat!"

Lan Zhan looked at the food, then thought 'Eat first, think later'. He also didn't want to disturb the
waiter again.

Wei Ying poured the wine and offered it to Lan Zhan, which Lan Zhan rejected again. He wrinkled
his face cutely and let out a "Tch." After drinking the wine, he sighed and said "As expected. Now
that I have tasted Emperor's Smile, I can't forget about it. Old fashioned boy, you're really lucky
you stay in Gusu. What a waste that you don't drink it!"

When eating, Wei Ying occasionally picked the spicy food from Lan Zhan's tray. "Thanks hehe.
They gave too little of this!"

Being with Wei Ying for the whole week, Lan Zhan couldn't help but notice Wei Ying always goes
for a heavier taste and leaves behind dishes with lighter taste. After finishing his meal, Lan Zhan
pointed to Wei Ying's tray and said "Don't waste food."

"Ahhh but it's really bland! It's a wonder you even manage to eat them all. How can you take the
tastlessness? It wastes stomach space too!" Wei Ying complained.
 Fierce Corpse 2

The next morning, it was already 7am. Lan Zhan had already prepared himself and had been
waiting for quite some time but Wei Ying still refused to wake up. Lan Zhan wanted to leave first
but he couldn't due to the golden thread which Wei Ying made sure to cast every night in case Lan
Zhan ran off while he was sleeping.

"Wake up" Lan Zhan said, shaking Wei Ying. He had been silent for some time but when he felt
that it was really time to go, he shook Wei Ying and told him to wake up but to no avail. After a
while, Lan Zhan gave up and sat by the table, meditating.

"Mmm" Wei Ying said as he woke up. It was already 12pm. He then saw Lan Zhan getting up and
walking towards him. "Let's go now. Take this off."

Wei Ying got up and prepared himself before removing the cast. "Luckily I remembered to cast the
Golden Thread. If not you would have left without me!" Lan Zhan just walked on ahead, towards
the Qing Estate.

***

"Ahh! Young masters! You're finally here! Last night the fierce corpse managed to enter the main
hall. I escaped through the back door and ran towards my bedroom." The owner explained in a
hurry. "I think I really need the talismans! Please give them to me. I'll get it at any price I can!"

Wei Ying shook his head and said "Talismans aren't a problem but it is only a short-term thing. The
fierce corpse's resentful energy will only grow stronger and by that time, the talisman will be of no
use."

Lan Zhan listened to Wei Ying's nonsense, but didn't stop him as he knew Wei Ying had a plan.

The owner's face paled. He asked "Then... what should I do?"

WWX: "You must tell us honestly. How is the fierce corpse related to you?"

The owner's hands trembled while saying "I don't know him that well... He is my grandmother's
servant and I only played with him when I was young."

LWJ: "Childhood friend."

WWX: "Then why do you not know him well?"

The owner quickly explained "After I grew up I didn't even see him often!"

WWX: "Hmm, then did you offend him in any way?"

The owner immediately shook his head "No, no, I never, I... I did once but it wasn't that serious!"

After seeing Wei Ying's questioned look, he continued "Two years ago, after my grandmother
passed away, she left me a family heirloom, a jade pendant. He recognized that it belonged to my
grandmother and asked if he could borrow it. I lent it to him without hesitation and only told him to
return it to me in 2 days. However, the next day he told me that he lost it. Later that day I heard
that he was a drunkard, so I thought that he sold it off and scolded him for it."

WWX: "Scolded him? How?"

LWJ: "Be honest."

The owner said softly, "I gave him a beating..."

Wei Ying said with his eyes widened "You didn't happen to be the one who broke his leg right?"

The owner got a little flustered and said "I'm not sure how heavy the beating was but he was one of
our sevants so I intended to let him off after all!"

WWX: "But how did he die? How long ago was it?"

The owner replied "He fell off a cliff about 2 years ago."

WWX: "Why didn't you tell us earlier?"

The owner frowned and said "I thought talismans would be enough, not an old meaningless story."

WWX: "Oh, you're wrong. It's not an old meaningless story. Just imagine, if he didn't sell the jade
pendant, it would be a wrongful death! If he died because his leg was injured and he slipped over
the cliff, he might have blamed it on you too!"

The owner was left speechless. "Help me please..."

WWX: "It's fine, you still have your bedroom. We'll go back for now and come back tomorrow."

The owner said in shock "Will the door even last?!"

"It's fine. Your bedroom's door is stronger than the other doors. Besides, dealing with him
tomorrow is better." With this, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan left and head back to the inn.
 Closer

After entering their room, Lan Zhan asked Wei Ying "Why wait till tomorrow?"

Wei Ying replied "You could also tell that it doesn't have a very high resentful energy right? It
probably isn't here for revenge. It'll be safe."

Lan Zhan clarified himself "I know it's safe but why tomorrow?"

Wei Ying actually knew what Lan Zhan meant. He then said "To be honest, I don't really like this
owner. It will be a good scare for him. It's harmless anyway."

After a while of silence, Wei Ying asked "Are you unhappy that I'm delaying it just to scare him
because I don't like him?"

Lan Zhan shook his head. Wei Ying then happily sat at the table and poured tea for both of them.
Soon, their meals came. "Hey, aren't we buddies already? Drink some wine with me!" Wei Ying
said, offering Lan Zhan alcohol again.

"I don't drink alcohol." Lan Zhan said, before digging in.

"Tch, Old fashioned boy. You really don't give me any face." Wei Ying said while grabbing the
spicy food from Lan Zhan's tray and pouring the bland soup into Lan Zhan's empty bowl.

Wei Ying thought that Lan Zhan would definitely react to this but all Lan Zhan did was say "No
talking when eating."

Lan Zhan was about to prepare to sleep while Wei Ying casted the golden thread again. Lan Zhan
frowned a little but continued tucking himself in.

"Hey, why are you sleeping already? What time do you even wake up? You're always awake
before me." Wei Ying asked.

Lan Zhan said "Sleep at 9pm, Rise at 5am."

"5am?! I sleep at 1am and rise at 11am!" Wei Ying said in disbelief.

Wei Ying wasn't expecting a reply when Lan Zhan said "You woke up at 12pm" which made Wei
Ying laugh uncontrollably. This man actually bothered replying and it was to correct the timing he
woke up at?

After Wei Ying saw that Lan Zhan went to sleep, he was too bored to do anything and went to
sleep too.

***

The morning came and again, Lan Zhan tried waking Wei Ying up. After meditating for a while,
he would go over and try to wake Wei Ying up and then go back to meditating. At about 11am
when Wei Ying said he would wake up, he walked over to the bed.

"Wake..." Just as he was about to say "up", he tripped over Wei Ying's misplaced boots and ended
up crashing into Wei Ying's chest.

Wei Ying groaned as he woke up. Lan Zhan who was staring at Wei Ying, thinking to himself that
after looking closely, this man is actually quite cute and good-looking, got all flustered and tried to
get up as quickly as possible.

"Eh? Old fashioned boy, what a way to wake me up! Is this your new method? To dive into my
embrace so early in the morning?" Wei Ying said, rubbing his chest.

As he stood up, he caught sight of Lan Zhan's ear turning red. "Ah Hah! I caught you blushing! Old
fashioned boy, you're shy about this? Hahaha! Don't be, don't be! You're so handsome, I'll forgive
you! In fact, since you're so handsome and so nice to me, I'll let you hug me once every day!
Hahaha"

Hearing this, Lan Zhan's ear got even redder. "You... I only tripped on your boots! You...
Shameless!"

"Hahahahaha" Wei Ying continued laughing at Lan Zhan. This was the first time he saw Lan Zhan
blushing and this flustered. He thought to himself "This handsome man is cute too..."
 Fierce Corpse 3

When they reached Qing estate, the owner came running towards them, again shouting for help.
"The fierce corpse was knocking on my door the whole night! You have to help me! It has already
almost broken through!"

Wei Ying pretended to look around the door and nodded his head, saying "I see, I see."

The owner panicked and asked "Young master, what do you see?"

WWX: "No worries, this fierce corpse don't mean much harm. We both will stay tonight and help
you to settle it."

The owner then nodded his head furiously "Thank you, two young masters!"

***

Night came. Wei Ying squated while Lan Zhan stood upright, waiting for the fierce corpse outside
the open bedroom door. Wei Ying got bored waiting so he grabbed a stick and started poking Lan
Zhan's leg. "Hey, aren't you going to tell me your name yet?"

Lan Zhan was hesitating on whther to reply or not. Just as he was about to open his mouth, the
owner shouted "Can I just leave this matter to you two and close the doors?"

Wei Ying looked at the owner who was trembling at the furthest corner of the room. "No no, it
will be interesting. You must watch. There's two of us. You won't be harmed."

As he said this, they heard the growl of the fierce corpse. It came. Lan Zhan was fighting the fierce
corpse while Wei Ying stood in front of the door. Wei Ying noticed something and said "Hey,
move aside, my turn!"

Lan Zhan thought Wei Ying wanted a go at the fierce corpse so he moved aside but who knew
when the fierce corpse lunged towards Wei Ying, Wei Ying didn't defend and was thrown
backwards, to the foot of the bed.

"Wei Ying!" Lan Zhan called out.

Wei Ying was surprised. This was the first time Lan Zhan called out his name. He grinned and
thought 'Wow! That's worth it!' He liked the way Lan Zhan called his name.

The fierce corpse walked towards the owner who was shivering in fear. The owner shouted "Help
me!"

Lan Zhan rushed to Wei Ying's side. "Are you alright?"

Wei Ying's eyes widened at this man's concern. 'Wow, he is showing concern for me' and a
mischevious thought formed in his head. "Ow... I... didn't expect the fierce corpse to really hit
me..."

Lan Zhan supported him up and Wei Ying leaned on him in order to stand up. Meanwhile, the
fierce corpse grabbed the owner's neck. "Help me!" The owner shouted while struggling to break
free.

The fierce corpse lifted his right hand which looked as if it was holding something, which Wei
Ying noticed earlier. The owner was terrified and froze, staring at the hand coming towards him.

The fierce corpse suddenly stopped and slowly opened his hand. There was a white jade glowing
admist the dirt. It was his grandmother's jade bracelet. The fierce corpse tried hanging the jade
bracelet over the owner's head. He was stiff and awkward and only managed to do so after a few
tries.

The owner was confused when the fierce corpse suddenly punched his stomach. "Ahhh!" The
owner screamed as he dropped to the ground. He then watch the fierce corpse turn around and hop
out of Qing estate. Wei Ying tried his best to surpress his laughter.

After making sure the owner simply fainted, Lan Zhan placed Wei Ying's hand over his shoulders
and acted as his walking crutch, supporting him while slowly walking back to the inn.

***

It was after midnight and the streets were quiet. "Hey... wasn't that fierce corpse... ow... very
reasonable? I've never seen such a reasonable... ow... fierce corpse before." Wei Ying winced in
pain in between to convince Lan Zhan he was injured quite badly.

"Don't talk" Lan Zhan replied.

"But it was quite touching wasn't it? Ow... He actually spent two years looking for the jade
pendant. If... Ow... if he held a grudge, he wouldn't let the owner off with only a punch." Wei Ying
continued.

Lan Zhan watched him in pain and asked "Why didn't you defend?"

Wei Ying grinned and teased "So that you can support me!" Seeing Lan Zhan speechless, he
grinned. He didn't know how to tell him now that the fierce corpse didn't actually hit him.

Wei Ying jumped back before the fierce corpse hit him so the owner won't blame him for letting
the fierce corpse in. Who knew that from Lan Zhan's angle, the fierce corpse did hit Wei Ying...
And seeing Lan Zhan's reaction, Wei Ying wanted to tease him more so he didn't say anything...
 Injury

Due to Wei Ying's 'injury', on the long way back, it was silent again. Wei Ying couldn't stand it
and wondered if he should stop faking his injury but decided that since Lan Zhan might not want to
bother with him again, he continued acting. He started to tease Lan Zhan again. "Hey, it's so late
now. Doesn't it feel like we're on a quiet date?"

Lan Zhan got flustered and didn't know how to reply so he ignored Wei Ying. Wei Ying seeing no
response decided to take it a step further. He placed his head on Lan Zhan's shoulder while Lan
Zhan supported him. "Old Fashioned Boy~" Wei Ying flirted as he rubbed his head against Lan
Zhan's shoulder.

Lan Zhan got so flustered that he blushed a little. "You...! Shameless!"

Wei Ying laughed, seeing the bottom of his ear turn slightly pink. "Did you know this was the first
time you called my name? Old Fashioned Boy~"

"You! I..." Lan Zhan stopped, not knowing what to say. The blush on his ears spreaded upwards.
"Was that punch not hard enough?" Lan Zhan said, referring to the fierce corpse's punch.

Wei Ying, remembering that the fierce corpse's punch was the source of his fake injury, quickly
groaned "Ow... Why was that fierce corpse so strong... It hurts..."

Soon after, they reached the inn. Lan Zhan carefully helped Wei Ying to lie on the bed. Lan Zhan
sat beside and tugged Wei Ying's collar.

"Old fashioned boy~ What are you doing? You can't do this to an injured person" Wei Ying
teased.

Lan Zhan immediately let go of his grip and said "You... take off your shirt. I'll see your injury."

Wei Ying thought 'Oh no... There's no injury though...' He decided to tease his way out. He poked
Lan Zhan's hand while saying "Are you sure you're only seeing? You're not a doctor though... I
wonder what kind of treatment will you give me. Besides, I'm a good buddy of yours already since
you are now willing to touch me right?"

Lan Zhan widened his eyes and stood up. Every sentence Wei Ying said got more and more
ridiculous. Not knowing how to react, he gave a light slap to Wei Ying's chest. Wei Ying laughed
at his reaction. "Old Fashioned Boy, you're so fun to tease!"

Lan Zhan furrowed his brows and hit Wei Ying again, hard. He thought 'Why didn't he scream in
pain?'

Wei Ying sat up and shouted "Hey! Why did you hit me that hard!"

Lan Zhan, seeing him sit up so quickly without a problem, stuttered in confusion. "You... You...!
You're not injured!"

Wei Ying immediately gave a 'oops' face and lied back down, groaning in pain. Lan Zhan looked
at him and frowned deeper, showing a never seen before angry face. Wei Ying immediately
thought 'Oh no, he's mad.'

Seeing Lan Zhan turn around and walk away, Wei Ying immediately casted the golden thread.
"I'm sorry i'm sorry. You misunderstood and I thought you would be embarrassed if I told you I
was actually fine. I'm really sorry" Wei Ying said, trying to use a cute voice.

"You're not." Lan Zhan said coldly and went to his bed since he couldn't walk out the door. He laid
down and closed his eyes.

Wei Ying went to Lan Zhan "Old Fashioned Boy, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean it." Seeing Lan
Zhan ignoring him, he started shaking Lan Zhan while calling him. "Old fashioned boy, old
fashioned boy..."

Wei Ying shook Lan Zhan till he felt sleepy. He placed his head on the bed and continued shaking
Lan Zhan. He soon fell asleep while sitting on the ground beside Lan Zhan's bed.

***

The moment Lan Zhan woke up, he saw Wei Ying's sleeping posture. He frowned a little and was
about to carry him to his bed when he remembered Wei Ying saying 'Besides, I'm a good buddy of
yours already since you are now willing to touch me right?'. He immediately stopped and went to
the table to meditate. He's been thinking for a while that even thought he came down the mountain
to clear his mind, he was always caught up in Wei Ying's pace and didn't have much time to clear
his mind.

He looked at Wei Ying and went over. He shifted Wei Ying's whole body to the floor and placed a
pillow under his head. He stared at Wei Ying for a while, trying to figure out what this man was.
Wei Ying treated him so differently, nothing like he ever experienced. He kept joking and teasing
Lan Zhan. He could be this playful yet good at cultivation.

After thinking for quite some time, he realised that Wei Ying was going to wake up so he quickly
removed the pillow and sat at the table like nothing happened.

Wei Ying woke up and found himself on the floor. "Ughh why am I sleeping here? Oh! Old
Fashioned Boy, you're awake! What are we doing today?"

Lan Zhan closed his eyes and started meditating, ignoring Wei Ying. "Hey, you're still angry? I'm
really sorry okay? Don't ignore me... even though you always do..."

Lan Zhan with his eyes closed, just said a word "Stay."

Wei Ying thought of teasing him again but he was afraid Lan Zhan would get angry so he managed
to stop himself. "All right, I guess we should stay here for a while to see if anything happens in this
town."

Lan Zhan thought that Wei Ying would definitely tease him. Wei Ying never failed to tease him
every morning, day and night. Lan Zhan felt a little empty, finding it weird not to be teased.

***NOTES***
Wei Ying kinda 'rocked' himself to sleep. Like how one would feel sleepy if they rocked a baby to
sleep.
 Drunk 1

They have been staying in Tan Zhou for about 5 days, going around asking if there are any strange
events or occurrence. In that 5 days, they changed an inn and settled some trivial cases that didn't
require much effort.

They asked around if there are any strange events or occurrence but they didn't hear much. The
only thing circulating around was the generousity of the Qing Estate owner who cleaned up and
held a grand burial for a fierce corpse found in the middle of the town which at that time, was
already rotting badly.

***

Going back to the inn, Wei Ying sighed. "Old Fashioned Boy, there isn't anything much here is
there? The people that came to ask for help all asked for trivial boring stuff."

Lan Zhan replied "Help everyone."

Wei Ying said "Yea, we should help everyone but it's so boring! We need to solve some exciting
things too!"

Just then, the waiter brought their dinner and two bottles of wine. Lan Zhan raised his eyebrows
"Two?"

Wei Ying smiled "Aren't you drinking with me?"

Lan Zhan turned around and replied "No."

Wei Ying grinned and slapped Lan Zhan's back. "Hah, I can drink more than ten jars, no problem!
But I really want to drink with you, so I'll offer you one!"

Lan Zhan's face turned cold. "Get this off me." He ordered, referring to the paper man Wei Ying
placed spiritual energy in, used to control another person's body. Wei Ying slapped it on Lan
Zhan's back and Lan Zhan couldn't move.

"No no no, you're definitely drinking with me today." Wei Ying grinned and poured a cup.

He made Lan Zhan sit down and sat beside him. "Old Fashioned Boy, say Ahhh" Wei Ying said as
he held the cup near Lan Zhan's mouth.

Lan Zhan kept his mouth shut tightly, refusing to drink. Wei Ying poked the cup at his mouth a
few times but Lan Zhan kept it closed. He was wondering how to make Lan Zhan open his mouth
when he remembered what happened 2 nights ago. He was bored and wanted to take a look at Lan
Zhan's forehead ribbon but Lan Zhan slapped his hand away. Wei Ying thought that Lan Zhan was
being stingy.

Wei Ying reached his hand and grabbed the forehead ribbon, pulling it off. Lan Zhan's wrinkled
his brows and shouted "You!"

Wei Ying took this chance and poured the wine into Lan Zhan's mouth. He pushed Lan Zhan's jaw
up, which made Lan Zhan swallow the alcohol. "Ahah! We've drunk together now! You can't deny
that we're close already!"
Wei Ying removed the paper man and said as he turned around to sit opposite Lan Zhan. "Wasn't
that simple? Your face isn't red at all! Old Fashioned Boy, you're unexpectedly good at alcohol,
huh."

"Thunk" He heard a loud sound and turned around, only to see Lan Zhan fallen to the ground.

"Err... Old Fashioned Boy, wake up. Are you asleep already? It's not 9pm yet. You haven't eaten
and drank yet. Wait... Don't tell me you're drunk?" Wei Ying asked a sleeping Lan Zhan.

"Wow, this is my first time seeing someone sleep without getting drunk... This Old Fashioned Boy
is really one of a kind huh. No wonder he doesn't drink" Wei Ying thought as he went back to the
table. He ate a little and drank up the rest of the wine.

Wei Ying saw Lan Zhan move a little. "Ah sorry, you must be uncomfortable." He said as he
walked to Lan Zhan. With a little effort, he picked up Lan Zhan princess style and walked to the
bed.

"You're a little heavy..." He said as he lowered himself to place Lan Zhan on the bed. Just then,
Lan Zhan opened his eyes. He reached his hands out. Wei Ying expected Lan Zhan to hit him but
instead, he clung onto Wei Ying's neck.

Wei Ying was a little surprised and froze. After a long moment of eye contact, Wei Ying realised
he was still carrying Lan Zhan and placed him on the bed. Even after removing his hands, Lan
Zhan was still clinging to Wei Ying's neck and looking in his eyes, trying to understand the man in
front of him.

Wei Ying grabbed both of Lan Zhan's arms, trying to push them apart but Lan Zhan held tighter.
"Your arm strength is awesome, I'm glad you're not a violent person." Wei Ying said in defeat.

Wei Ying then raised two fingers in front of Lan Zhan and successfully caught his attention. Wei
Ying realised that Lan Zhan's eyes followed his fingers. "Old Fashioned Boy, what number is
this?"

"Two" Lan Zhan replied.

WWX: "Oh, you replied."

LWJ: "Mn."

WWX: "You even replied to that?"

LWJ: "Mn."

WWX: "Are you going to answer everything I ask?"

LWJ: "Mn"

Wei Ying thought in his head 'This Old Fashioned Boy doesn't only say Mn right? I should ask him
something that can't possibly be Mn...'

An idea popped up in Wei Ying's mind and he asked "Then..., what is your name?"

***NOTES***
I didn't want to make Lan Zhan drunk so early but oh well, I can make him drunk again next time,
hehe. And...

WEI YING ASKED FOR HIS NAME.

 Drunk 2

WWX: "What is your name?"

LWJ: "Old Fashioned Boy"

Wei Ying was dumbfounded. Then he started laughing uncontrollably. Lan Zhan who was
watching Wei Ying laugh uncontrollably in his arms, frowned and asked "Why are you laughing?"

Wei Ying stared at Lan Zhan and thought that he was so cute. He pinched Lan Zhan's cheeks
which made Lan Zhan's ear turn pink.

LWJ: "You! What are you doing!"

WWX: "I'm pinching your cheeks."

LWJ: "Why?"

Wei Ying froze. 'Why? Because it looks soft and cute?' Wei Ying thought. Seeing no reaction, Lan
Zhan remembered Wei Ying laughing and frowned again. He asked "Why did you laugh?"

WWX: "Ah right! I wasn't asking for the name I call you. I was asking for your birth name!"

LWJ: "Oh..."

WWX: "So what's your birth name?"

LWJ: "Lan Zhan"

WWX: "Ah! Lan Zhan! I finally know your name! Why were you playing hard to get?"

LWJ: "I didn't."

WWX: "You really reply to everything now"

LWJ: "Mn"

There was a moment of silence and just staring. Wei Ying tried to get out of Lan Zhan's grip but
failed. He decided to tease Lan Zhan. Wei Ying brought his face closer to Lan Zhan which made
Lan Zhan's ear turn from pink to red.

WWX: "Lan Zhan~ Aren't you letting go of me~"

LWJ: "No."

WWX: "Are you sure? I'll do unspeakable things to you, you know? You seem so pure but you
actually aren't, right?"

Lan Zhan's ear turned even redder which made Wei Ying grin. Other than Lan Zhan's change of
facial expressions, his ear blushing was the thing that amused Wei Ying the most. Hearing the last
sentence, Lan Zhan immediately said "You!" and sat up so quickly, bumping into Wei Ying's
forehead.

They both sat still for a while as they didn't expect the bump. Wei Ying saw that he was free and
he took a deep breath out. His chest felt suffocated earlier, though he assumed it's because Lan
Zhan's hand was pressing onto his neck.

"Lan Zhan, I wanted to ask this for some time but... what on earth is this forehead ribbon for? Quite
a few people in Gusu wears it, huh." Wei Ying said as he dangled the forehead ribbon with his
right hand in front of Lan Zhan's face.

Lan Zhan reached his hand out in an attempt to grab back his forehead ribbon. Wei Ying pulled
back his right hand and pushed his left hand forward showing a stop sign.

"Not so fast. Lan Zhan, you have to answer me first... Ow Ow Ow!" Wei Ying suddenly shouted.
"Lan Zhan! Why are you biting my hand? Let go! Let go! My hand is going to fall out! Let go! Are
you crazy?"

After biting for some time and not letting go, Wei Ying started to tremble as he thought the one
biting him was a dog. Lan Zhan felt it and released his bite.

Wei Ying retreated all the way to the end of the bed, clutching his hand in fear. Lan Zhan felt
something in his chest and crawled over to Wei Ying who was still shivering. He gave Wei Ying a
motherly hug and said "It's okay"

After Wei Ying managed to calm down, he thought that Lan Zhan's actions were cute, though
biting him scared him. "Why are you even so mad over a forehead ribbon?"

"You're not my parent, wife or child. How can I let you touch it." Lan Zhan replied.

"Wi-Wife? Hahaha. So I'm not allowed to touch it huh. Makes me want to touch it more." Wei
Ying teased as he wrapped the ribbon around his wrist.

Lan Zhan released Wei Ying and stared at his wrist. "You're not my parent, wife or child. You can't
touch it." He said in a warning tone.

"How do you know I'm not your father, mother, wife or child!" Wei Ying teased.

Lan Zhan replied "I'm not married yet!"

Wei Ying laughed and found it so fun, forgetting the Lan Zhan who bit him moments ago. He
continued teasing, "I doubt any maiden wants to marry you. Even though you're this good-looking,
you're so cold and boring! I say, you won't be able to get married!"

Lan Zhan thought about it and replied, "That's fine too."

Wei Ying was a little taken aback as he didn't expect Lan Zhan to react this way. He was
wondering what to say when he saw Lan Zhan crawling back under the covers. "Err... Lan Zhan,
what are you doing?"

"It's 9pm, time to rest. Sleep." Lan Zhan said as he placed his hand one over the other, his usual
sleeping postition.

Wei Ying followed him and laid down beside him. Then he remembered he still have questions to
ask Lan Zhan. He immediately sat up and put his left hand on Lan Zhan's right shoulder, shaking
him. "Lan Zhan, Lan Zhan, don't sleep yet! I still have a lot of questions to ask you. Wake up... Lan
Zhan?!"

Lan Zhan pulled Wei Ying's hand, making Wei Ying's head crash into his chest. Before Wei Ying
could react, Lan Zhan pressed his waist and Wei Ying realized that he couldn't move.

"Lan Zhan, I'm sorry... Release my accupunture point, please? It's so uncomfortable..." Wei Ying
pleaded.

"Sleep." Lan Zhan replied as he pulled the covers over them and placed his hands over Wei Ying.

Wei Ying's heart started beating fasted and faster and his face burned hotter and hotter. No one
hugged him to sleep other than his parents, which he vaguely even remember. He only
remembered the 3 of them cuddling together.

Afted some time, Wei Ying finally calmed himself down and fell asleep on Lan Zhan's chest while
listening to Lan Zhan's heartbeat.

***NOTES***
Wei Ying only knows that his future partner's name is 'WangJi' so he didnt know Lan Zhan is his
future partner.
 Last Night

It is 5am...

Lan Zhan woke up, seeing Wei Ying lying on his chest. He found his arms placed around Wei
Ying, giving him a bear hug. Lan Zhan was startled and got up, waking Wei Ying up.

"What's wrong?" Wei Ying groaned.

"You... last night..." Lan Zhan stammered.

"Ahh last night! Now I get why you don't drink alcohol. You are so bad at it! Do you remember
what you even did? HAHAHA" Wei Ying started teasing Lan Zhan.

LWJ: "What?"

WWX: "You talked a lot!"

LWJ: "Example?"

WWX: "Hmmm... i got to know more about you!"

Lan Zhan turned around, wanting to walk away when Wei Ying suddenly shouted "LAN ZHAN!"

Lan Zhan widened his eyes in surprise "You...! How?"

Wei Ying smirked "You told me last night!"

Seeing Lan Zhan frown, Wei Ying continued "Hey... don't be angry... you already know my name.
Why not we just introduce ourselves again? I'm Wei Ying, Wei Wu Xian. Nice to meet you! Now I
know you're Lan Zhan too. Since we have slept together, we're more than good buddies already!"

Lan Zhan was shocked beyond words at what Wei Ying just said. "We didn't!"

Wei Ying smirked again, enjoying Lan Zhan's reactions. "How did you know? You don't even
remember what happened last night!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Zhan frowned even deeper, hesitating for a moment. 'Did we really...'

"What are you thinking? We slept together on the same bed didn't we? Why do you look confused?
Hahaha Lan Zhan, you can't be thinking..." Wei Ying teased.

"I didn't!" Lan Zhan interrupted him.

"Haha I'm just kidding. But... you seriously don't remember what happened last night?" Wei Ying
asked while moving his head closer to Lan Zhan.

Lan Zhan saw a scene from last night where his face and Wei Ying's face were so close while Wei
Ying teased him 'Are you sure? I'll do unspeakable things to you, you know? You seem so pure but
you actually aren't, right?' He stumbled back in shock. Lan Zhan then saw a glimpse of him being
pinched by Wei Ying and him biting Wei Ying and that Wei Ying was afraid of dogs. He was even
more surprised when he gave Wei Ying a hug and pressed his acupuncture point on his waist such
that Wei Ying couldn't move.
Lan Zhan couldn't remember everything or in detail but just saw a few scenes of them. Probably
those that left an impact in his mind. These scenes which explained almost everything that
happened made him blush and went into a daze.

"Lan Zhan! Lan Zhan!" Wei Ying said as he waved his hand in front of Lan Zhan's face. Wei Ying
sat on the bed and waited for Lan Zhan to snap out of his daze. He noticed Lan Zhan's ear was
bright red and chuckled. 'He must be remembering things from last night. He looks embarrassed.
So cute... Lan Zhan...' Wei Ying thought as he continued to stare at Lan Zhan.

A scene suddenly appeared which showed Wei Ying twisting his forehead ribbon over his wrist.
Lan Zhan immediately snap out of his daze and touched his forehead, just to realize his forehead
ribbon wasn't there. He immediately looked up at Wei Ying. "Return it to me."

Wei Ying was confused at first then he remembered "Ah, so you remember that I took your
forehead ribbon? Why should I return it?"

Lan Zhan replied "... It is very important to me. Not anyone can touch it..."

Wei Ying looked at Lan Zhan. 'He doesn't remember telling me of its significance? Looks like he
only remembers bits and pieces.' Wei Ying thought and the desire to tease Lan Zhan surfaced.
"Aren't I 'not anyone'? Since it's important, how about I keep it for you!"

Lan Zhan was once again, left speechless. He couldn't deal with this man teasing him. He didn't
know how to. He could only stutter a "You..." like usual.

Wei Ying hopped off the bed and had a great idea. He touched Lan Zhan's chin with his index
finger and teased "Why don't you call my name? I'll return it if you do. Xian Xian, A-Xian or Wei
Ge Ge is fine by me!"

Lan Zhan's ear turned red. "Wei Ying! You... Shameless!" Lan Zhan said with his low deep voice.

Wei Ying shivered a little. This was the second time Lan Zhan called his name and it sounded as
good as it did the first time. He felt that Lan Zhan saying 'Wei Ying' was good enough so Wei
Ying returned the forehead ribbon. "Your low voice accompanied with the Gusu dialect sounds
nice. I'm satisfied. Lan Zhan, you really should talk more!" He said, while thinking 'and call my
name more'.
 Realisation

They travelled about for 2 months and this time, they stopped at WaXi Town. Within these 2
months, many things happened. Lan Zhan started to get jealous often when he saw Wei Ying
flirting with women, or men getting too close to him.

There was once a waiter placed his arms over Wei Ying's shoulder. Lan Zhan felt like twisting the
waiter's arms. Wei Ying saw Lan Zhan walking away so suddenly and asked him to wait. Lan
Zhan stopped, waiting for him to catch up, but after some time he turned around and saw that Wei
Ying was still talking to the waiter. Lan Zhan got angry and started smashing the stones on the
ground with his feet.

Another incident was when Wei Ying asked for information from two village girls. Wei Ying
ended up flirting with them. Lan Zhan watched by the side, anger creeping up his skin. When he
saw Wei Ying giving each of them a face powder, Lan Zhan started kicking the pebbles on the
ground till Wei Ying finally came over. Even though it was of no use to them, Lan Zhan didn't
want to see Wei Ying giving it to others. Lan Zhan gave Wei Ying the cold shoulder which
confused Wei Ying, making him think that Lan Zhan was actually a moody person.

Few weeks later, Lan Zhan asked for the face powder with much hesitation but Wei Ying rejected
him, saying it's kept specially for his 'dearest ShiJie', which made Lan Zhan jealous. Who was this
dearest ShiJie?

There was also once when Wei Ying sneaked out at 11pm and only came back at about 2-3am. Lan
Zhan was curious what Wei Ying did and where he went but he couldn't bring himself to ask Wei
Ying. It bothered Lan Zhan a lot, making him wonder where Wei Ying went and why didn't Wei
Ying bring Lan Zhan along.

The incident that made Lan Zhan the angriest was when Wei Ying got drunk. Wei Ying dragged
Lan Zhan into a wine shop, saying that he wouldn't make Lan Zhan drink... and he really didn't. He
went to another table with a group of men and started competing drinking. Wei Ying won, getting
drunk only after drinking 12 jars. However, while Wei Ying was getting drunk, he became clingy
too... He started putting his shoulders over the other guys which made Lan Zhan smash his tea cup
in his grip. Lan Zhan tried holding it in. He closed his eyes, trying to calm down.

However, when he opened his eyes, he saw one of the guys pounce on Wei Ying, saying Wei Ying
is so cute that he wouldn't mind... doing him. Before Wei Ying did anything, the angry Lan Zhan
pulled them apart, throwing the guy to the end of the wine shop, shocking everyone. Wei Ying
who was falling asleep and walking unstably, then hugged Lan Zhan. Lan Zhan was angry but this
hug made him calm down a little. He quickly carried Wei Ying back to the inn.

On the way back, Wei Ying woke up a little. "Ahhh! Lan Zhan! You can't carry me like this!"

LWJ: "Why?"

"Why? It's so embarrassing!" Wei Ying argued, while covering his face with his hands and shaking
his head like a child.

Lan Zhan smiled a little at his actions but hearing what Wei Ying said, he replied "It's
embarrassing?"

WWX: "Is it something to be proud of?"

LWJ: "You carried me before too."

"I did? I don't remember! Anyway, I'm not a girl! You can't carry me princess-style! Put me down
quick!" Wei Ying exclaimed as he pouted.

LWJ: "I won't"

"Ahhh! It's so embarrassing!" Wei Ying whined as he covered his face and shook his head again.

Lan Zhan liked seeing Wei Ying acting like this. He found it cute but after shaking for some time,
Wei Ying fell back asleep, head leaning on Lan Zhan's chest.

***

After placing Wei Ying on the bed, Lan Zhan stared at him. The rarely defenseless Wei Ying
looked so tempting even for the great Lan Zhan who have always showed great restraint. Lan
Zhan's face inched closer for a kiss, but he stopped as he decided that it was a bad idea. He took off
his forehead ribbon and wrapped it around Wei Ying's forehead. Lan Zhan then felt his anger
washing away. With a slight smile, he hugged Wei Ying to sleep.

When Lan Zhan woke up the next morning, he felt guilty of taking advantage of Wei Ying. He
quickly removed his forehead ribbon and went out to cool down. He felt like he didn't deserve Wei
Ying still being so cheerful around him, so he was even colder to Wei Ying, making Wei Ying
think that Lan Zhan was annoyed of taking care of a drunk Wei Ying.

After many of such incidents happening and his jealousness getting out of control, Lan Zhan
realised that he liked Wei Ying. Other than some actions he himself couldn't explain, Lan Zhan
tried convincing himself that these were feelings for a brother. But after this one incident that
happened in WaXi Village, he was definitely, utterly convinced that he was in love with Wei Ying.

WaXi Town held a semi-annual hunting competition, which caught Wei Ying's attention.

***NOTES***
Lan Zhan's definition of taking advantage of Wei Ying included almost kissing him, hugging him
to sleep and tying the forehead ribbon on him.

I like seeing a jealous Lan Zhan and a clueless Wei Ying.

 Hunting

"Look! Lan Zhan! The first price is money, blank talismans, a compass and other useful stuff! Let's
join this competition! It's a hunting competition. That's so easy! I'm proud of my archery skills!"
Wei Ying boasted as he tried to convince Lan Zhan to join.

"I'll wait for you here." Lan Zhan said, not very interested in joining the event.

"Come on, it's a pair event! Two people! I only have you! Alright?" Wei Ying pleaded.

Lan Zhan was happy when he heard "I only have you". He then nodded his head in agreement.

Wei Ying jumped in excitement and signed up for it, dragging Lan Zhan into the entrance to the
hunting grounds.

"Just a few announcements before the event starts. Choose a location in the hunting grounds with
your partner and put on this blindfold. There will be people walking around to check. Those who
take off their blindfolds before the bell rings are disqualified! After the bell rings, you can then
remove your blindfolds and start hunting for preys. Gather back here with your preys and we'll see
who the winner is! You can enter now!" The organiser of the event announced.

Wei Ying and Lan Zhan immediately went to the furthest hunting grounds. Wei Ying's plan was to
work from deep in the hunting grounds back to the entrance. Nearing the end of the hunting
grounds, Lan Zhan walked away from Wei Ying.

"Lan Zhan! Where are you going?" Wei Ying shouted towards him.

"Cover larger areas." Lan Zhan replied.

Wei Ying nodded his head in agreement, happy that Lan Zhan was taking the event seriously.

After some time, animals were heard being released into the hunting grounds.. A bell rang
throughout the hunting grounds, indicating that it was time to take off the blindfolds. Wei Ying sat
there thinking he would let others have a headstart and still be able to come out top. He suddenly
felt someone approaching him. He then alerted his senses and was about to reach for SuiBian when
he felt no danger from this person. This person got closer and closer, till the point Wei Ying could
almost feel that person's breath touching his skin. Wei Ying was about to take off his blindfolds
when the person pressed his lips against Wei Ying's.

Wei Ying had a shock. This was his first kiss. The lips felt soft and he thought 'Ah, my first kiss
with a maiden. It feels soft and nice. I want to see...' He was about to take off his blindfolds when
he felt a hand pressing down both his arms.

This was followed by the person, licking and sucking his lips. The person squeezed his tongue in
between Wei Ying's lips and tried to seperate his upper and lower teeth. When Wei Ying gave in
and opened his mouth, the person immediately stucked his tongue inside while trying to suck on
his lips. That person became a little aggressive and they kissed roughly.

Wei Ying felt dizzy from kissing and started drooling and panting. "Mmm... Ahh... Can't breathe...
Mmm... Slower... Mmm..." He thought to himself 'This... why is this person so good at kissing...
She must be shy... but she's quite strong too...'

It took Wei Ying a while to snap out of it and realise that the person has already left. He slowly
took off the blindfold and thr sunlight hurt his eyes a little. He looked around but couldn't see
anyone nearby. He sighed thinking 'What a waste. I should have seen that person before she left.
She must have a crush on me. There were quite a lot of girls who joined... I wonder which one is
it...'

After walking a while, Wei Ying suddenly heard "Bam... Bam". Wei Ying immediately ran
towards the sound, only to see Lan Zhan punching a tree, with two trees fallen on the ground. "Lan
Zhan! What on earth are you doing? We're here to catch animals, not trees!"

Lan Zhan who suddenly heard Wei Ying's voice, flinched then said "Go away."

"Hey! Why are you suddenly angry with me! It's not my fault if you can't catch any animals here
right?" Wei Ying said, pouting a little.

Lan Zhan who was staring at Wei Ying's lips then snapped out of it. With nothing to say, he turned
around and walked away.

"Wait up! Let's go together. I'm good at this, I can help you" Wei Ying said as he grinned.

Lan Zhan occasionally sped up and occasionally slowed down, attempting to shake off Wei Ying.
However, Wei Ying found it fun and stuck closely to him.

After a while, Wei Ying started talking again. "Lan Zhan, have you kissed before?"

Lan Zhan widened his eyes in surprise. Wei Ying chuckled and said "Look at your reaction. It's
obvious you haven't. Besides, you're so cold. Who would dare kiss you?"

After hearing this, Lan Zhan got a little angry. Wei Ying sensed it and got a little guilty, thinking
that he might have brought his teasing too far. "Lan Zhan... I'm just joking! It's fine even if you
never kissed before! I'll just share with you my experience! Kissing feels really good you know?
It'll make you all dizzy and stuff!"

"You've had experience?" Lan Zhan said with a cold tone.

With Lan Zhan's question, Wei Ying felt like boasting so he decided to exaggerate it. "Yes! Many!
Lots of them..."

Lan Zhan got even angrier and stomped off. Wei Ying didn't understand why Lan Zhan was being
so moody today. Wei Ying settled on the thought that Lan Zhan was jealous as he has never kissed
before.
 Lan Zhan's POV

The bell rang and I started walking around. After walking for some time, I saw Wei Ying in the
distance, sitting on the ground and leaning against the tree. His blindfold was still on. Could it be...
he fell asleep?

As I approached him, I kept staring at his face. He had a well-defined face. His face naturally
gives off a mischevious look. Which makes him cute. Sharp jawline, fair skin, sharp nose, cute
ears and plump lips.

Cute ears. They looked soft and I felt like nibbling on them. Plump lips. I stared closer. It looked
very inviting. For some reasons, I started reciting the clan rules to calm myself down. However,
the moment he moved, I panicked and my lips moved forward and touched his.

It felt soft. Very soft and warm. Better than I expected. His hands started moving and I
immediately pressed him down. I couldn't let him know it was me. I started feeling guilty towards
Wei Ying but his lips...

Just once. Since I started kissing him it wouldn't matter if I do it a little longer.

I licked his lips and stuck my tongue in. His teeth were closed and I tried to squeeze my tongue in.
He resisted for a while but the moment he opened his mouth wider I grabbed the chance and stuck
my tongue in.

Sucking his lips, I rolled my tongue around with his tongue. I didn't know what I was doing but it
felt good. It was my first time and the person I was kissing was Wei Ying. I felt my blood rushing.

I started being a little more aggressive. Wei Ying started panting, telling me to stop, to go slower,
which made me all the more excited and I became even more aggressive.

After I finally calmed myself down, I pulled away. Wei Ying seemed to be in a daze so I quickly
ran away. I couldn't let him see me.

Why did I do that? How could I? Especially without his permission. Guilt rushed over me and I
was so angry at myself for being unable to control myself. I punched the trees in anger.

His voice suddenly sounded from behind me. "Lan Zhan! What on earth are you doing? We're here
to catch animals, not trees!"

I flinched as he startled me. He didn't see me running away right? I told him to go away. I was
afraid I did something worse and this time, he would be able to see.

He pouted as he complained to me. I looked at his lips. It was slightly red from me sucking his
lips. Which made his lips look even more enticing. With him beside me I can't help but think of
kissing him again.

I tried shaking him off but it didn't work. He stucked to me closely. Then he suddenly asked me.
"Lan Zhan, have you kissed before?"

I widened my eyes in surprise. Did he... Did he see?! Wei Ying chuckled then said "Look at your
reaction. It's obvious you haven't. Besides, you're so cold. Who would dare kiss you?"

I felt relieved that he didn't find out it was me but... he said 'who would dare kiss you?' I know I
kissed him on impulse, without his permission but... was I not attractive enough? Would he not kiss
me?

Wei Ying suddenly said "Lan Zhan... I'm just joking! It's fine even if you never kissed before! I'll
just share with you my experience! Kissing feels really good you know? It'll make you all dizzy
and stuff!"

This made me curious. So I asked him with a cold tone. "You've had experience?"

After hearing his answer, I regretted asking. I didn't want to know after all. Wei Ying boasted
"Yes! Many! Lots of them..."

I was so angry. Who did he kiss? Why? Many? Lots of them? So that kiss I gave him was probably
insignificant to him? I didn't want to think about this any longer and stomped off angrily.
 Kiss

After roaming for some time, they finally caught more than half the preys together. They placed
first in the event, getting the prizes Wei Ying wanted. Wei Ying placed the prize money into Lan
Zhan's money pouch.

"Lan Zhan! Look! I contributed money in here too! It's definitely our money now!" Wei Ying said.
He joined this competition as he wanted to contribute money into Lan Zhan's money pouch and a
hunting competition is definitely fun.

Lan Zhan nodded his head but in his head, he was wondering 'Did Wei Ying join this competition
for this?'. He couldn't help but ask "Are you trying to earn money?"

Wei Ying replied "Yea, I must help this handsome young man make sure his wallet doesn't
become empty."

Lan Zhan smiled in his heart, liking that Wei Ying called him handsome. That means that Wei
Ying found him handsome. "That is not necessary."

"Come on, I know that you're rich but I'm not that shameless as to live off you for so long." Wei
Ying said and pouted his lips.

Lan Zhan thought that Wei Ying was so cute and felt many people staring at Wei Ying as he
continued acting cute. He immediately grabbed Wei Ying's wrist and pulled him away before he
started flirting or before others started flirting with him.

"Lan Zhan, where are we going?" Wei Ying asked, curious as to why Lan Zhan wanted to leave
that place so quickly.

"Back to the inn" Lan Zhan replied.

***

During dinner, Wei Ying was oddly silent. Lan Zhan felt guilty about kissing him without
permission and went to get him the best wine the inn offered. Wei Ying's eyes lighted up
immediately. Wei Ying was silent because he couldn't stop thinking about his first kiss and how
good it was.

Wei Ying wanted the kiss again. He asked for more wine and ended up drinking 7 jars. This wine
was exceptionally strong and Wei Ying became drunk, clinging to Lan Zhan and trying to make
him drink. "Wei Ying," Lan Zhan called out. He was about to say 'stop' when Wei Ying shoved a
cup of wine into his mouth.

Lan Zhan fell asleep. Clumsily, Wei Ying brought Lan Zhan to the bed and sat beside him. "Lan
Zhan... wake up... play with me..."

After a while, Lan Zhan woke up and Wei Ying pounced on Lan Zhan. "You really woke up! Play
with me!"

Lan Zhan nodded his head. They sat on the bed cross legged, facing each other. Wei Ying lifted
his right hand and said "Let's play catch!"

Lan Zhan then used his left hand to catch Wei Ying's right hand. Wei Ying reached his left hand
over to pull Lan Zhan's hand away and tell him that he meant real catching but Lan Zhan grabbed
his other hand.

Lan Zhan stared at Wei Ying's hands. They felt comfortable, like they belong in his hands. He
brought one hand closer to his lips. He felt like biting down on it but remembered that it made Wei
Ying scared so he started nibbling Wei Ying's fingers.

Wei Ying looked horrified as Lan Zhan opened his mouth to bite his fingers. 'Eh? It doesn't hurt...
It feels... itchy' Wei Ying started giggling out. His eyes then landed on Lan Zhan's lips as Lan Zhan
nibbled his finger.

"Lan Zhan... want me to teach you how to kiss?" Wei Ying asked as he stared at Lan Zhan's lips
hungrily.

Lan Zhan nodded his head while staring at Wei Ying's lips. 'I want to kiss you' He thought
repeatedly in his mind. Seeing Lan Zhan nod his head, Wei Ying went in for a kiss.

The kiss felt familiar, hot and good. They were both drunk in the kiss. They both wanted more as
they both became aggressive and they both started panting harder.

When they finally pulled apart, Lan Zhan collapsed on the bed front facing up while Wei Ying
collapsed on top of him, back facing up. Lan Zhan turned his head and all he saw was Wei Ying's
ear. The ear he wanted to nibble on.

He moved his mouth towards Wei Ying's ear and started nibbling on it. "Ahhh... Lan Zhan, it feels
weird... Ahhh... Nghhh Lan Zhan I... it feels good... Lan Zhan" Wei Ying moaned. This was the
first time someone nibbled or even got close to his ear, his sensitive spot.

Lan Zhan like hearing Wei Ying moan while calling out his name so he continued. When he was
finally done, Wei Ying immediately kissed Lan Zhan hungrily.

After the kiss, Wei Ying was panting beyond words. He tried pulling away a few times when he
was out of breath but Lan Zhan pulled him back. He buried his face in Lan Zhan's shoulders and as
he thought about how good it was, how Lan Zhan kept pulling him back, he slowly fell asleep
while breathing in Lan Zhan's sandalwood scent.

Lan Zhan wanted more but Wei Ying seemed like he really couldn't take it. As Wei Ying burried
his face in Lan Zhan's shoulders, Lan Zhan felt proud, confident and happy. He could tell that Wei
Ying enjoyed it.

Lan Zhan could feel Wei Ying breathing against his neck which tickled him a little. As Lan Zhan
felt Wei Ying's breathing steadied, he placed his hands around Wei Ying and fell asleep too.
 Morning

Wei Ying woke up before Lan Zhan did. He groaned a little as he felt his spinning head. Wei Ying
found himself lying on Lan Zhan and Lan Zhan's hands were wrapped around him, making him
feel safe and warm.

Lan Zhan woke up and was startled to see that he was giving Wei Ying a bear hug again. What on
earth happened last night? He removed his hands from Wei Ying's back. As Lan Zhan was getting
up halfway, Wei Ying pushed him back down.

"Lan Zhan... wait a minute... won't you stay like this for a while? My head hurts too much.." Wei
Ying said as he burried his head in Lan Zhan's shoulders again, which made Lan Zhan blush.

As they stayed in this position, their memories came flooding back.

Lan Zhan remembered a few scenes of Wei Ying asking him if he wanted to learn how to kiss,
them kissing, him nibbling on Wei Ying's ear and Wei Ying kissing him again.

Wei Ying remembered every single thing that happened. 'Oh my god. Did I really do that? I kissed
Lan Zhan which means I took his first kiss away? I ruined his pureness... But it felt so good!'

Wei Ying felt his face flushed hot and red, so he decided not to get up yet as Lan Zhan might see
his face. Still burried in Lan Zhan's shoulders, Wei Ying asked softly "Lan Zhan... do you
remember everything that happened last night?"

"No. But you definitely made me drink the wine against my will." Lan Zhan replied. In his mind,
he thought 'Lying is against my clan rules. But he asked if I remembered everything. I only
remembered a few so technically I didn't lie... That should be fine'

"So-Sorry, I won't force you again..." Wei Ying said in an apologetic tone. In his mind, he was so
relieved. 'Ah, thank god Lan Zhan doesn't remember... or he might never want to talk to me
again...'

Wei Ying then asked sheepishly "Lan Zhan, you're not mad right?"

"I'm not" Lan Zhan replied calmly, which made Wei Ying push his body up and look at Lan Zhan
with a grin 'That's great!'

They then had an awkward silence as this position reminded them both of last night. Wei Ying
immediately cleared his throat and got up quickly. Lan Zhan calmly stood up and prepared himself.

They then set off to look around WaXi Village a little more. Lan Zhan was in a good mood as no
matter what the reason was, last night Wei Ying was the one who initiated the kiss.

Lan Zhan thought back and felt that he was always the one getting jealous so he wanted to test Wei
Ying too.

Just then, Wei Ying stopped at a stall and looked at a pair of rabbit keychain. They were meant to
be together as one black rabbit and one white rabbit together formed an yin yang circle.

"Lan Zhan! Isn't this cute and cool? Can I get it? It looks so nice!" Wei Ying exclaimed, pointing
to the rabbits.
Lan Zhan took this chance and said to the stall owner "I would like to purchase this pair of rabbit
keychain which is as cute as you are."

Even though Lan Zhan felt very cringey, he forced himself to say it for the sake of seeing Wei
Ying's reaction.

Wei Ying was jealous. His thoughts went wild. 'Why did he suddenly flirt with her? He always
stayed away from people and don't speak much. Is he interested in her? He suddenly spoke so
much and it was full of compliments. Is this girl his ideal type? It took me so long for him to just
say this much to me!'

Lan Zhan peeked at Wei Ying and saw an expression he has never seen before. He felt estatic 'Is
Wei Ying getting jealous? Does he like me too? This is my first time seeing this expression of his.
He looks troubled? That should be his jealous expression right?'

Their thoughts were both disturbed by the store owner who said "1 silver please", while blushing a
little at Lan Zhan's compliment.

Wei Ying snapped out of his thoughts and said to Lan Zhan with an exaggerated face "Lan Zhan!
How can you say that!"

Lan Zhan was even happier, thinking 'So he is jealous! Looks like he doesn't like me
complimenting others!'

The store owner was a little shocked at what Wei Ying said but blushed even redder after hearing
"She is obviously very cute and pretty. You musn't leave out pretty! You must brush up on your
compliments!"

Lan Zhan froze for a moment. 'It wasn't because he was jealous? He was just shocked at how I
didn't compliment her properly?'

Wei Ying passed the store owner the money and the owner passed Wei Ying the rabbits. Wei Ying
winked at her, making her blush even harder. Lan Zhan got angry again after witnessing Wei Ying
flirting again.

Lan Zhan thought 'He wasn't jealous at all... He still flirts around... Why am I always the jealous
one? Looks like he doesn't like me'

Wei Ying kept the rabbits in his pocket and said "Thanks, Lan Zhan!" with a wide grin on his face,
then started looking at other stalls.

Lan Zhan froze again and thought '... Isn't Wei Ying giving me one? Well, it's supposed to be a
pair... but that's why I want it... He is not going to give it to anyone else right?'

"Lan Zhan! What are you doing? Quickly come over! There's more to see here!" Wei Ying shouted
from far. When Wei Ying turned around to find Lan Zhan, he saw Lan Zhan still standing in front
of the rabbit store and thought 'Lan Zhan is still flirting with that owner? Does he like her that
much? Tch. It's nothing to be bothered about though... What's wrong with me...'

***NOTES***
WEI YING STARTS FEELING JEALOUS! BUT HE COVERED IT UP! and he doesn't realise
that he felt jealous...
 Dogs

Wei Ying and Lan Zhan continued exploring WaXi Town. Soon, they walked into an ally with
lesser people. As they walked, they realized that they havent seen much people. All of a sudden,
they were surrounded.

"LAN ZHAN! SAVE ME!" Wei Ying screamed even though Lan Zhan was right beside him. Wei
Ying clung on Lan Zhan's arm, trembling.

They were somewhere in the middle of an ally when all of a sudden, about 15 wild dogs came out
and surrounded them.

1 dog was enough to bring back Wei Ying's horrifying memories in his childhood, where he lived
on the streets and was often being chased by wild dogs, competing for food. Now there were 15
dogs and Wei Ying's face paled. He trembled uncontrollably.

The dogs started barking and Wei Ying jumped onto Lan Zhan, trying to get to safety. "AHHHHH!
LAN ZHAN LAN ZHAN LAN ZHAN! HELP ME! SAVE ME! AHHHH! LAN ZHAN!
AHHHHHH!"

Lan Zhan did not expect Wei Ying to jump on him. He immediately reached out his hands and
caught Wei Ying.

Wei Ying was too scared to even think that Lan Zhan shouldn't carry him in princess style.
Everywhere they looked, there were dogs and they were barking from each direction.

Wei Ying couldn't stand it. He started crying out loud while burying his face against Lan Zhan's
chest, hands covering his ears. Lan Zhan was at a loss. He liked holding Wei Ying like that but he
couldn't bear seeing Wei Ying cry or tremble out of fear.

Lan Zhan tried to chase the dogs away but the dogs came on more strongly and barked even
louder, inching closer. Wei Ying screamed even louder and cried out even harder. Even though he
covered his ears, he could still hear the dogs very clearly.

"Sniff sniff... Lan Zhan... sniff... save me... ShiJie... save me... sniff... ShiJie... sniff... SHIJIEEEE,
SAVE ME... sniff sniff" Wei Ying cried out non-stop.

Lan Zhan frowned a little. 'ShiJie again?' He then continued trying to chase the dogs away. The
dogs backed off a little but continued. Lan Zhan tried calming Wei Ying down. "Wei Ying, it's
fine. I'm here."

One dog came forward. It seemed like the leader and started circling Lan Zhan. All of a sudden, it
bit Lan Zhan's leg. Lan Zhan jerked a little which caused Wei Ying to open his eyes.

Wei Ying had softened his sobs after hearing Lan Zhan's voice but after seeing Lan Zhan get
bitten, he wrapped his arms around Lan Zhan's neck and buried his face in Lan Zhan's neck.

"LAN ZHANNN!" Wei Ying screamed. "I'M SCARED, LAN ZHAN, I'M SCARED, SAVE ME!"

Lan Zhan shook off the dog on his leg and with much effort, managed to break through the pack of
wild dogs.

Lan Zhan immediately ran further into the alley. The dogs were chasing madly which left Lan
Zhan running the hardest he could.

After running quite a distance, Lan Zhan had to find a way out. He said gently "Wei Ying, use
SuiBian." Lan Zhan wanted to mount their swords but with him carrying Wei Ying and running so
quickly, he couldn't reach for BiChen.

Wei Ying was still terrified in Lan Zhan's arms. He was still sobbing and didn't process what Lan
Zhan said.

Lan Zhan didn't have a choice. He changed the position he carried Wei Ying. While running, he
shifted Wei Ying such that Wei Ying would be facing him. Wei Ying thought that Lan Zhan was
going to let go of him and immediately wrapped his legs around Lan Zhan's waist.

Now, he was clinging onto Lan Zhan like a koala bear. Lan Zhan supported him by holding his
waist with a single hand. With his other, he grabbed BiChen and sent BiChen out. He then jumped
onto BiChen and flew away from the ally.

Lan Zhan flew back to the entrance of the ally and got down from BiChen. He sat at a stool at a
nearby closed street stall. Wei Ying was still like a koala bear, while sitting on Lan Zhan's lap.
"Wei Ying, it's fine now" Lan Zhan said as he rubbed Wei Ying's back.

Wei Ying squeezed Lan Zhan's neck and pushed his head even deeper, as if he wasn't already
leaning against Lan Zhan's neck. He shook his head, saying "No... I can still hear them... Lan Zhan,
help me" in between his sobs.

When Wei Ying shook his head, he rubbed his head against Lan Zhan's neck, slightly tickling him.
Lan Zhan smiled a little and gently replied "I'm here, it's fine."

Seeing that Wei Ying hasn't fully calmed down and wasn't letting go anytime soon, Lan Zhan
stood up and started walking slowly back to the inn.

His leg didn't hurt but it was bleeding quite a lot. Even so, he enjoyed walking down the quiet road
with Wei Ying clinging on him.
 Dogs 2

On the long way back to the inn, Lan Zhan asked Wei Ying "Why are you so scared of dogs?"

Wei Ying who was still sniffing, said "When I was 3, my parents died and I was left alone on the
streets. I had to fight with wild dogs for food and resting areas. I got bitten and thrown about often.
Lan Zhan... I miss ShiJie. She's the best... She always chased the dogs away for me. ShiJie..." Wei
Ying was starting to feel sleepy.

Lan Zhan got a little jealous. 'Wei Ying mentioned ShiJie again. Does he like her? They seem very
close...'

"Woof!" A dog from the house they walked past barked. A shiver ran down Wei Ying's back as he
straightened his spine. He then crashed his head in Lan Zhan's neck and tightened his grip on his
hands and legs.

"Dog... Lan Zhan! Save me..." Wei Ying said, shutting his eyes with all his might.

Lan Zhan used one hand to support Wei Ying's bottom and wrapped the other around his waist.
"It's fine, that's not a wild dog. It can't come out." Lan Zhan said as he started walking again.

Lan Zhan suddenly frowned. Wei Ying's position was lower than before. Lan Zhan tried shifting
Wei Ying to a higher position but Wei Ying wrapped himself too tightly around Lan Zhan.

"Wei Ying, stop squeezing" Lan Zhan said as he felt a bit embarrassed that Wei Ying's legs were
squeezing tightly around his bottom area.

Wei Ying did not soften his grip. Instead, he squeezed Lan Zhan even harder and asked "Lan Zhan,
you'll protect me right?"

Lan Zhan smiled a little and replied "Mn, but stop squeezing so tightly, it's hard to walk."

Wei Ying refused to do so. "It's not. You said you'll protect me. How are you going to if I let go?"

"Alright, alright" Lan Zhan gave in. Who knows when will he get another chance to be this close to
Wei Ying.

Lan Zhan wanted to carry Wei Ying like this for as long as possible though the walking was
creating friction between his private area and Wei Ying's soft butt.

On the way back, Lan Zhan kept stopping for a while to keep himself calm. However, nearing the
inn, Wei Ying suddenly spoke "Lan Zhan, why are you stopping so often? Is there anything
wrong?"

Hearing Wei Ying's voice, Lan Zhan felt like he might not be able to hold back any longer. He felt
guilty for feeling this way.

Lan Zhan immediately headed to the inn and back to the room without stopping. By that time, a
bulge had formed under his pants. 'I hope Wei Ying doesn't feel it.' He desperately prayed in his
heart.

"Wei Ying, we're back. You can get off now, it's safe." Lan Zhan said. Though he didn't want Wei
Ying to leave his arms, he didn't have a choice as he didn't want Wei Ying to find out about his
bulge either.

Wei Ying who was still gripping Lan Zhan tightly with his head buried in Lan Zhan's neck, shook
his head while saying "I can still hear them barking. It's ringing in my ears."

Lan Zhan was at a loss. He didn't know what to do. Wei Ying didn't want to get off but he couldn't
sit or lie on the bed due to his bulge.

"Then... what should I do?" Lan Zhan asked Wei Ying. Wei Ying replied "Won't you sit? Sit then
talk to me so I don't hear the dogs barking. Pat my back too, like just now. It felt good. Please?"

Hesitantly, Lan Zhan sat on the bed. Wei Ying's bottom was against his bulge. Lan Zhan could
only hope that Wei Ying didn't notice it.

Lan Zhan couldn't lie backwards as Wei Ying had wrapped his legs around Lan Zhan. He could
only stay in a sitting position.

Lan Zhan started patting Wei Ying's back. Wei Ying moaned in comfort, "Mmphhh" as he
snuggled against Lan Zhan's neck. What Wei Ying did wasn't helping Lan Zhan at all.

"Wei Ying..." As soon as Lan Zhan said these words, Wei Ying interrupted him, "Lan Zhan, can
you... hug me to sleep tonight? Just once..."

"Mn. Let me change first." Lan Zhan said, trying to escape to relieve himself.

"There's no need to." Wei Ying replied as he squeezed his arms and legs even tighter around Lan
Zhan.

"Nghh" escaped from Lan Zhan's mouth. He has been holding it in for so long and a sudden
squeeze from Wei Ying really wasn't helping. "Wei Ying, just for a minute."

Wei Ying refused. He shook his head while saying "No no no. You smell nice. No need to
change."

"Mnn, don't" Lan Zhan moaned as Wei Ying's hips shook along with his head. Lan Zhan
immediately covered his mouth and blushed. Not only did he let those sounds come out of his
mouth. Once he remember Wei Ying saying 'You smell nice', Lan Zhan can't help but blush,
feeling happy.

However, Lan Zhan really couldn't control himself anymore. "Wei Ying, just a minute. I need to
use the toilet."

"Bring me. I won't look, I promise." Wei Ying said, still in the same position from the time they
entered.

Lan Zhan widened his eyes in shock. How was he supposed to get out of this situation?

"Please... Wei Ying... I... I'm here. I'll protect you. If anything happens, shout for me and I'll come
immediately!" Lan Zhan said desperately. He was feeling pain and really needed to relieve himself.

Wei Ying sensed this. He reluctantly pulled away. While Wei Ying got off, he ended up rubbing
Lan Zhan quite a bit. Lan Zhan bit his lower lip to stop himself from making any weird sounds.

Lan Zhan rushed out of the door. Unknown to him, Wei Ying was grinning widely. Wei Ying had
found out since Lan Zhan kept stopping while walking and had been teasing Lan Zhan the whole
time.

'Lan Zhan, you're so cute... You were so lost when I refused to get off you... How were you so
patient to let me continue clinging onto you? You just couldn't admit it' Wei Ying thought as he
giggled to himself. 'Sigh, you almost made me hard too... What's wrong with me?'
 Wound

Lan Zhan came back soon. He did his business as quick as possible, cleaned up his wound and
tidied himself, placing a calm expression again.

As soon as Lan Zhan walked into the room, Wei Ying jumped and held Lan Zhan like a koala bear
again.

"I thought you went to change?" Wei Ying asked innocently. He wanted to continue teasing Lan
Zhan so he continued acting scared.

"I... I... I decided not to." Lan Zhan stuttered.

Wei Ying buried his face in Lan Zhan's neck and Lan Zhan couldn't see that Wei Ying was
actually grinning.

Lan Zhan carried Wei Ying over to the bed. This room had two beds so a single bed might be a
little squeezy for them.

Right after Lan Zhan tucked both of them under the covers, Wei Ying sat up "Lan Zhan, I think it's
better for me to..."

"Sleep. It's late." Lan Zhan interrupted Wei Ying, who was about to suggest that they sleep in
separate beds after all.

Lan Zhan used his hand and lightly pushed Wei Ying into a lying down position before bringing
Wei Ying closer to him.

They both laid on their sides, facing each other, with Lan Zhan's hands wrapped around Wei Ying.
Wei Ying leaned against Lan Zhan's wide chest.

Both of them blushed a little, but both were happy and comfortable and fell asleep like that.

***

Lan Zhan woke up early, as usual. He stared at Wei Ying who was sleeping in his arms. Wei Ying
looked perfect to Lan Zhan. Cute, handsome, innocent, mischievous, pure...

He wished that he could wake up to seeing Wei Ying sleeping so soundly in his arms everyday.

"Morning, Wei Ying" Lan Zhan said with a slight smile on his face.

"Morning, Lan Zhan" Wei Ying replied as he snuggled against Lan Zhan's chest, his eyes still
closed.

Lan Zhan was shocked. He didn't expect Wei Ying to be awake. Embarrassment flooded him as his
ears turn pink.

"Do you always say good morning to me?" Wei Ying teased.

"No!" Lan Zhan immediately said and got off the bed.

After seeing Lan Zhan's wound on the leg, Wei Ying then remembered that he got bitten last night.
"Lan Zhan! Your leg! I'm sorry..."
Lan Zhan shook his head and said "It's fine"

Wei Ying still felt bad. He waved for Lan Zhan to come over. "Let me see, I'll put medication for
you."

Lan Zhan hesitantly sat at the edge of the bed and Wei Ying squatted on the floor, rolling Lan
Zhan's pants up. The wound had reopened during the night.

Wei Ying winced at the bite mark. It was something he was so familiar with when he was young.
Lan Zhan saw and said "You don't have to."

Wei Ying grabbed some ointment and bandages from the cupboard and placed it beside Lan
Zhan's leg. "It's fine, I'll do it. Sorry for last night..."

It was rare to see Wei Ying looking so serious and feeling so guilty. Lan Zhan decided to let Wei
Ying have his way.

While Wei Ying applied the ointment, he also blew on the wound. When Wei Ying applied
medicine on one of the deepest cuts, it made Lan Zhan flinch a little.

Wei Ying saw Lan Zhan flinch. Tears started welling up in his eyes. "Sorry..., it must hurt right?"

Lan Zhan shook his head saying "It's fine". It wasn't painful to Lan Zhan and he didn't want Wei
Ying to feel bad.

Wei Ying felt that Lan Zhan was lying to make him not feel bad. After all, he was bitten often
when he was young and he knew clearly how much it hurt. "Sorry..."

Wei Ying kept apologising while applying ointment on the wound and occasionally blowing on it.

LWJ: "Stop apologising. It's not your fault."

WWX: "...Sorry..."

LWJ: "If you say "Sorry" again, I'm going to leave you behind."

Wei Ying's lips folded inwards immediately. Lan Zhan found it cute. This was one expression he
hadn't seen on Wei Ying.

Lan Zhan decided to talk about the alley they went past yesterday. "Wei Ying, there's something
weird with the alley yesterday"

Wei Ying nodded his head while bandaging Lan Zhan's leg. "Mn, I have never seen so many wild
dogs working together before."

"Not only that. There seemed to be a village area nearing the end of the alley." Lan Zhan
commented.

"... If you don't wish to, I can check it out alone." Lan Zhan said, breaking the silence.

"... I... I'll go! You said you won't leave me alone." Wei Ying replied.

Hence, they decided to check out the alley together.

 Silk Village 1

They asked around WaXi Town about the alley. Most people refused to say but during the
afternoon, they finally gathered some information.

There was a small village at the end of the alley. It was a popular location but a few years ago, a
group of cultivators had taken over the village. They had wild dogs near the entrance of the alley
and no one knew what happened to the villagers as they hadn't come out since.

That group of cultivators would occasionally come to WaXi Town and act like bullies, hence the
locals won't say anything about them.

Lan Zhan and Wei Ying decided that they should go to the village. However, they had to consider
the wild dogs.

"We can mount our swords." Lan Zhan suggested.

Wei Ying shook his head, saying "What if I fall because of the dogs?"

Lan Zhan didn't say anything. He sent out BiChen and pulled Wei Ying's waist to him. They were
facing each other. Lan Zhan grabbed Wei Ying's waist and jumped on BiChen.

"Lan Zhan! What are you doing?" Wei Ying exclaimed, while taking in Lan Zhan's sandalwood
scent.

"I'll hold you so you won't fall." Lan Zhan replied, while thinking that Wei Ying's waist is very
small and that Wei Ying's body fitted right in his arms. He was happy to have such close contact
with Wei Ying.

When they saw the dogs and heard them barking, Wei Ying hid his face in Lan Zhan's chest. "Lan
Zhan..."

"I'm here" Lan Zhan said, while speeding up. BiChen flew for quite some distance before they
could finally see a little of the village.

They stopped near the front of the village. Suddenly, they were attacked by something. They turn
around but the attacker was fast and jumped out of sight.

They followed the attacker and ended up at the side of the village. The attacker finally came out
and charged at them but Wei Ying caught the attacker. The attacker was a maiden.

"Why did you attack us?" Lan Zhan asked.

"You're here to join that group of cultivators right, of course i'll attack you!" The attacker shouted.

"Pretty maiden, we're new here. We were just checking this place out." Wei Ying said.

"Re-Really? You're tricking me" The attacker said with doubt.

"Pretty maiden, I won't hurt you but could you tell me more about this village? We heard that a
group of cultivators took over this place? We are more than willing to help a pretty maiden!" Wei
Ying said with a flirting tone.

Lan Zhan's fist curled up. 'He's still flirting?'

The maiden decided to trust the two of them and started telling them the story of this village. "This
village is called Silk Village. We produce silkworms and make clothes, fabrics and scarfs.
Business here thrived. It was a good place for tourists and despite the long alley, people would still
come in very often. Until 5 years back, a group of cultivators came. They placed their guard dogs at
the entrance of the alley to prevent people from going in and out."

"So... what happened to you people?" Wei Ying asked.

"We... They... They chained up the men and made them the labourers. They kept women chained
in an area and used them for their own pleasure. They brought the kids along with them for their
night hunts. The strong ones would be praised and taught how to fight, the weak ones often bullied
and used as... as bait..." The maiden stuttered.

Wei Ying let go of the maiden's arm. "Ridiculous! How dare they treat people lile that. To think
that they are cultivators. So shameful! But... what is their motive for doing so? And why are you
out here roaming about?"

"I'm an orphan, since young I started living in an abandoned hut at the back of the village. Even so,
the villagers here were always nice to me and treated me as a part of them... On the day it
happened, I was gathering medicinal herbs from the mountain at the back. By the time I came
back... some of them were killed... the rest were separated and chained up. I know the men who
were locked at the underground silkworm cage area. They told me what happened and told me to
run away. I didn't want to leave them. I... Especially after I saw what was done to the women. I
wanted to at least bring the children with me. However on the night hunt... they were so cruel...
how can they? He was just a little kid and they threw him in front of that... that fierce corpse..." The
maiden said, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Why didn't you run away and ask for help?" Wei Ying asked, while patting her back.

Lan Zhan frowned a little at the sudden contact. He thought it wasn't necessary for Wei Ying to pat
her back.

The maiden replied "I tried... I tried so many ways. I went by the alley but dogs... There were so
many... I couldn't beat them. If I attacked, they came at me together... I realised that there were
more dogs than those that came out. They hid in even more advantageous areas, where they could
attack if the rest failed."

Wei Ying froze. 'There were even more dogs?' He shook his head at the thought of more dogs
coming out to attack them.

Lan Zhan looked at Wei Ying. He noticed them hiding when he mounted the swords but decided
that Wei Ying had no need to know.

"I tried escaping from the mountains but... there were cultivators surrounding the area. They
seemed stronger than me, I... I didn't know how to fight. My mother left me this sword and these
past few years I have been trying to get stronger to escape. However, I'm not at a level where I can
mount my sword like your did." The maiden continued.
 Silk Village 2

"They didn't discover you?" Wei Ying asked.

"They did. But... one of them suggested playing hide-and-seek. Whoever caught me could have me
to himself... so they let me off first" The maiden replied. "I have been hiding more carefully ever
since. If I get caught, I won't even be able to think of escaping."

"Well... I caught you!" Wei Ying said with a grin, while moving his head closer to the maiden. The
maiden blushed a little "I... I..."

"Wei Ying! Stop fooling around!" Lan Zhan said. He felt so angry. 'Does Wei Ying want the
maiden to himself? I... What about me... Wei Ying, I want you to myself too. Stop flirting with
others...' Lan Zhan thought, hoping Wei Ying would stop flirting and look only at Lan Zhan.

"Lan Zhan, I did catch her though..." Wei Ying pouted a little. "Anyway, do you know what their
purpose is?" Wei Ying continued.

The maiden replied "I'm not too sure... but I did hear that this isn't the first place to have been
overtaken. They have their people around different places. I heard that they were planning to take
over villages, then towns, then sects and at the end, become the only sect standing."

"That's some big ambition they have" Wei Ying said sarcastically. "By the way, I don't know your
name yet! You are?" Wei Ying said, raising his eyebrows. Lan Zhan clenched his fist again.

"I... You can call me Mian Mian" The maiden said shyly.

"Mian Mian! Hi! You can call me Yuan Dao!" Wei Ying said, grinning widely.

"Play of words." Lan Zhan said, unhappily.

"Play of words? Ah! Whose thinking about you" Mian Mian said, blushing, making Wei Ying
giggle.

Lan Zhan looked at the both of them flirting around with anger in his eyes. He fiddled around with
BiChen.

"You can call me Wei Ying." Lan Zhan snapped when he heard this. Wei Ying just met her and
asked her to call him by his birth name?

"Wei... Wei... Wei Gong Zi" Mian Mian tried calling Wei Ying but failed as she was embarrassed.
"Please help me. I want all the villagers to escape safely too."

WWX: "Of course we'll help! But you stay here."

Mian Mian: "But... I..."

WWX: "Stay here. The two of us are enough. Help us keep watch okay?"

Mian Mian: "... Alright... Let me make a rough map of the area for you first."

***

Lan Zhan and Wei Ying entered the village. There wasn't anyone around. Mian Mian told them
that the cultivators would usually just guard the place the villagers are held and around the
mountain.

"Lan Zhan, why do you think they kept the villagers alive?" Wei Ying asked.

"Pleasure. And for future followers." Lan Zhan replied.

Wei Ying nodded his head. "Yea, those kids that come out strong will definitely be favoured by
them and become the future leaders. What about the men? Lan Zhan ah, the first thing you
mentioned was pleasure. Is that on your mind all the time?" Wei Ying teased.

"You!" Lan Zhan said embarrassed. "I'm not sure why they kept the men alive."

"Hahaha" Wei Ying laughed at Lan Zhan being embarrassed. He changed the topic "Don't you
think Mian Mian is so good? She drew a map for us so quickly! She seems gentle and pretty too."

Lan Zhan grabbed BiChen tighter and walked ahead, ignoring Wei Ying. "Wait for me! Why are
you speeding up!" Wei Ying shouted at him.

***

They soon reached the area used to held women. It was the biggest house in the village, where the
villagers occasionally gathered for celebrations and meetings and stuff.

They peeked their heads in but there didn't seem to be anyone. They entered rooms after rooms.
Most of the rooms were messy, tables toppled and things all over the place.

They entered a room, which was the only one on the first level that had a bed. Suddenly, the
floorboard creak. Wei Ying grabbed Lan Zhan's wrist, finding a place to hide. He saw a cupboard,
laying horizontally.

Wei Ying pulled Lan Zhan behind but Lan Zhan tripped and fell on Wei Ying. Lan Zhan was
about to get up when the door opened. Wei Ying held on to Lan Zhan to prevent them from being
discovered.

"Stop! Stop! Let me go!" The woman screamed.

Wei Ying wanted to come out and help the woman but Lan Zhan stopped Wei Ying, signaling for
him to wait a while first. Lan Zhan felt Wei Ying's grip tighten around his wrist.

"Hey, stop screaming. You can stop faking it. They won't hear you from here." A man's voice
sounded.

"Dear, when are we leaving this place?" The woman asked, suddenly changing her tone to a flirting
tone.

"Not yet... Seriously, we've dug up almost everywhere but they still believe that it's hidden here.
Besides that, I really need to compliment you darling. You have been acting so well for so many
years. The rest totally trusts you, still thinking they can make it out! Darling, won't you be sad
when we kill them in a week? I can leave 1 or 2 behind for you." The man said as they sat on the
bed and he caressed the woman's hand.

"Dear, I only need you. You treat me better than they do. They can't give me the love or pleasure
you do." The woman whispered into the man's ear.
The man stood up and took off his top. He aggressively kissed the woman as he pulled on the
woman's top. The woman used one hand to ruffle through the man's hair and placed the other on
the man's chest.

The man became more aggressive and pushed the woman down, then got on top of her. They
talked dirty to each other and moaned while kissing and stripping.

***NOTES***
Mian Mian Si Yuan Dao is part of a poem.
Si means thinking of or missing.
Wei Ying joked that Mian Mian was thinking of him.
 Silk Village 3

Wei Ying awkwardly looked away from them and turned to Lan Zhan, who was looking at Wei
Ying. Lan Zhan immediately turned to look away, his ear turning pink.

Lan Zhan turned towards Wei Ying with widened eyes when he felt Wei Ying becoming hard. Wei
Ying was blushing. He had been trying not to but for some reason, got hard when he realised that
Lan Zhan was looking at him.

Lan Zhan felt himself about to get hard so he slightly lifted his waist such that their parts weren't
touching each other. However, Wei Ying suddenly pressed Lan Zhan's waist down and mouthed
"Don't move"

They both blushed as they were both hard against each other. The man and woman in the room
weren't helping either. The man had began thrusting into the woman while they both moaned and
kissed. To make things worse, they were having a dirty talk!

Wei Ying wanted to relieve and unconsciously started moving his hips. He gasped as he rubbed
against Lan Zhan. It felt good.

Lan Zhan was also feeling good. He bit his lip to make sure he doesn't make any sounds. Wei Ying
saw and found Lan Zhan cute. He wanted to tease Lan Zhan but if he did, they'll be discovered, so
he held back.

"Wei Ying, we can't here" Lan Zhan whispered in Wei Ying's ear.

Wei Ying shivered from Lan Zhan's low, deep voice and became harder. He pressed Lan Zhan's
waist harder against him and continued rubbing against him.

Lan Zhan couldn't take it. A soft "Mn" escaped Wei Ying's mouth which made Lan Zhan even
more turned on. He covered Wei Ying's mouth with his hands to prevent Wei Ying from making
any more noise.

"Hah" Lan Zhan whispered as Wei Ying rubbed his sensitive spot. Wei Ying also placed one hand
over Lan Zhan's mouth to prevent Lan Zhan from making sounds.

Wei Ying had one hand on Lan Zhan's hips and the other around Lan Zhan's mouth while Lan
Zhan had one hand supporting himself and the other around Wei Ying's mouth.

As Wei Ying's palm touched Lan Zhan's lips, he felt like kissing Lan Zhan. He licked his lips and
Lan Zhan jolted when Wei Ying's tongue touched his hand.

Wei Ying removed his hand from Lan Zhan's mouth and tugged Lan Zhan's hand, wanting him to
remove his hand too.

Lan Zhan removed his hand and all he could see was Wei Ying's lips. He crashed his lips into Wei
Ying's and they kissed aggressively.

After they came by rubbing and kissing each other while trying their best to not make any sound,
Lan Zhan collapsed on Wei Ying. They then came to their senses. They realized that the man and
women had left already.

Both of them, embarrassed, panicked in their minds. They were confused. Why did they do what
they did so naturally? Why didn't they thought of stopping? They both enjoyed it but both were
afraid the other didn't or felt disgusted by it.

To Wei Ying, this was the second time they kissed while Lan Zhan knew that it was their third
time. This was the first time they rubbed each other off though, which made both of them at a loss.
Lan Zhan just put on his stoic face but Wei Ying didn't know how to react to this.

They then realised that something was burning beside the table.

"It's aphrodisiac. (love drug)" Lan Zhan said, clearing his throat and adjusting his clothes.

"That couple is together, why did they even burn this kind of thing." Wei Ying said, trying to shake
off his embarrassment.

The door clicked and they scrambled to hide behind the cupboard again. This time, a different man
and woman came in. This time, Lan Zhan hovered over Wei Ying who was laying on his front. Lan
Zhan thought 'This position isn't good either...'

The woman was also shouting "Stop! Let me go!"

Man: "Aren't you tired of shouting for so many years? Your should just get used to it"

Woman: "Get used to rape? Let me go! I have a husband!"

The man ignored her screaming and brought her closer to the table with the burning aphrodisiac.
The man then took off his top and tried forcing himself on the woman. They were both clearly
affected by the aphrodisiac but the woman was still protesting "Stop... Let... go... No..."

Wei Ying suddenly thought 'Why didn't I reject Lan Zhan like this? Well, it felt good but why
didn't Lan Zhan reject me? The aphrodisiac doesn't affect the woman to that extent'

Meanwhile, Lan Zhan thought 'Wei Ying didn't reject me and even initiated it. Does he like me
too? Or was the aphrodisiac burning even before we came in?'

Wei Ying saw a tear drop falling from the woman. This woman wasn't faking it, unlike the
previous one. He immediately jumped out and before the man could react, he was knocked out by a
hit at the back.

The woman who was affected by the love drug saw that Wei Ying saved her and clung onto Wei
Ying.

"Maiden, you..." Wei Ying was cut short by the woman who suddenly threw herself on Wei Ying
and kissed him. She rubbed herself on Wei Ying and started pulling on his shirt. Wei Ying grabbed
onto his shirt, flustered as this was so sudden and not something he experienced before.

"Lan... Lan Zhan, help me" Wei Ying said, struggling to hold up his shirt while stopping the
burning of the aphrodisiac.

Lan Zhan's eyes were burning with anger. 'This maiden just kissed Wei Ying. I...' Lan Zhan had
never felt this angry before. He was so angry he didn't know what to do and couldn't think for a
moment.

Lan Zhan smashed the burner on the floor which startled Wei Ying. Lan Zhan then angrily
separated the woman from Wei Ying.
Wei Ying thought 'Lan Zhan... Is he angry? Jealous? Maybe he wanted the woman to jump on him
instead of me? He isn't like that though... A maiden kissing me... Why did I dislike it? Maybe cause
she is married already?'

Wei Ying snapped out of it and grabbed Lan Zhan's arm softly. "Lan Zhan, softer. We can't alert
them yet." Wei Ying reminded.

Lan Zhan calmed himself down and opened the windows and door, to clear the aphrodisiac.
 Ghost Puppets 1

After Wei Ying calmed the woman down, he started asking her what has been going on in Silk
Village.

The woman explained "After we have been separated, we have been kept in a room. They fed us
the minimum and only took us out to... to rape us... We were tired of this and only wanted to
escape. Yu Jiang was the one who gaves us hope, allowing us to pull through."

"Yu Jiang?" Wei Ying asked and glanced at Lan Zhan.

"The leader in this area favours Yu Jiang and often brings her out, letting her roam about. Hence,
Yu Jiang has been helping us to communicate with the men of the village and take care of our
children. We have been secretly communicating among ourselves and thinking of a way to escape.
We plan to retaliate soon." The woman said.

Wei Ying and Lan Zhan looked at each other. Wei Ying then asked "How soon?" The woman
replied "In a week. How did you two know about us?"

"Mian Mian caught us outside and explained the situation. We're here to help." Wei Ying replied.

"Mian Mian! She got help! We thought... we thought something bad happened..." The woman said,
on the brink of tears.

"So... what's your plan?" Wei Ying asked.

"In a week, Yu Jiang can meet the men again. She would get weapons for them and they would
fight back. Though we have a low chance of winning, it's not impossible. This year they have
reduced the men guarding here by a significant amount. I heard that they recently took over
another village." The woman answered.

"We'll go to where the men are chained." Lan Zhan said coldly, still angry over what the woman
did to Wei Ying.

"I'll go back to the women and tell them we have help!" The woman said, excitedly but got scared
of Lan Zhan's cold aura. "Sorry for just now sir..." The woman said looking at Wei Ying.

"Wei Ying" Wei Ying answered smiling.

"Yes, sorry Wei Gong Zi" The woman said with a slight smile.

"It's fine" Wei Ying replied.

Lan Zhan looked at the door. He couldn't wait to leave this room but he didn't want to leave Wei
Ying and the woman alone. He was shocked again when Wei Ying introduced himself with his
birth name. Lan Zhan didn't want to hear them calling Wei Ying by his birth name.

Lan Zhan felt relieved when Wei Ying stepped out of the room. He thought 'Finally...' He just
wanted to be alone with Wei Ying.

***

Soon, they reached the men quarters. However, they heard low growls and looked at each other
with confusion. After entering the men quarters, they came to a realisation.
"Ghost puppets" Lan Zhan said.

"Mn" Wei Ying said, nodding his head. "But they are still alive."

"Alive?" Lan Zhan asked.

"Their eyes. These men must have been turned into ghost puppets as some sort of experiment.
Mian Mian still thinks that they are labourers. What should we do?" Wei Ying asked.

"AHHHH! SECOND UNCLE! THIRD UNCLE! MR GAO! YU CHENG!..." A woman from

behind screamed.

Wei Ying turned around to see Mian Mian in a shock standing between a tall, handsome young
man clad in white cultivation robes and another sharp looking man in black cultivation robes. They
didn't seem like an enemy.

Wei Ying asked "Mian Mian, what are you doing here? And who are these two handsome young
man with you?" Lan Zhan immediately glanced at the two men when Wei Ying called them
handsome.

The handsome young man in white introduced himself with a gentle smile "My name is Xiao
XingChen. We heard what happened from Mian Mian and this is my partner, ZiChen."

"Xiao XingChen, the bright moon and gentle breeze, Song Lan, the distant snow and cold frost.
Together with ShuangHua and FuXue, your have achieved much as roaming cultivators." Lan
Zhan said.

Wei Ying raised his brows as Lan Zhan suddenly said so much. 'Looks like these two are really
respectable'.

Xiao XingChen bowed slightly and humbly shook his head. Mian Mian was still shocked and
confused. She was on the brink of tears. Wei Ying started comforting her, telling her that they are
still alive. However, the woman called Yu Jiang betrayed them.

They then looked around the cage where the ghost puppets are locked up in. Mian Mian wanted to
get closer but Xiao XingChen stopped her. "It's dangerous to get too close."

Wei Ying grabbed one of the man's head and felt around. Everyone looked at him in shock as they
wouldn't just grab a ghost puppet's head. Wei Ying then pulled out two long nails from that ghost
puppet's head and the ghost puppet dropped to the floor.

"Yu Cheng!" Mian Mian shouted as she got close to him.

The young man called Yu Cheng started groaning and mumbled "What happened?"

Suddenly, a few man wearing red robes appeared. They didn't expect to see the 4 man with Mian
Mian. "Look who we have here! Found you, little girl. You have grown well. We even have
uninvited guests" One man said while smirking at the others.

They drew their swords and started attacking them. Seeing that the man regained conciousness,
Wei Ying, Xiao XingChen and Mian Mian started pulling nails out of the villagers' heads while
Lan Zhan and Song Lan calmly fought off the people in red.
***NOTES*** ShuangHua = Xiao XingChen's sword FuXue = Song Lan's sword
 Ghost Puppets 2

After some time, the people in red robes were defeated and the male villagers regained their
conciousness. Wei Ying started explaining everything that happened, excluding what him and Lan
Zhan did in the room. Yu Cheng clenched his fist and grumbled "Yu Jiang..."

Wei Ying had a questioned look. Mian Mian then explained "Yu Cheng is Yu Jiang's older brother.
Their parents both died when they were young, so Yu Cheng brought Yu Jiang up. However, there
was once Yu Jiang brought a man back to the village.

This man took advantage of her, taking silkworms and ready made scarfs away. Yu Jiang knew
about it too. When Yu Cheng asked Yu Jiang about it, she defended the man, saying he is going to
be part of the village anyways.

The man did many inappropriate things at the village, causing all the villagers to be unhappy
towards this man. However, Yu Jiang sided him and helped him, fully knowing what he was
doing.

At last, the man left. It was a short period of time but he took enough to affect us as we didn't have
enough earnings. Despite this, Yu Jiang said that it was our fault for not being harsh on him and it
wasn't her fault that he didn't want to be part of this village.

That was just the beginning. She started bringing more men who did the same thing, not caring
about us. We didn't speak up because we felt bad that men kept tricking her like that."

"She wasn't tricked! She clearly knew what they were doing! She was tricking us with them! I
failed my duty as a brother!" Yu Cheng said angrily.

Mian Mian patted his back, trying to calm Yu Cheng down but he continued "Now she is tricking
us with those scoundrels! She clearly doesn't care about us. They planned to kill us but she only
cares about her and her new man!"

The other villagers didn't speak up. They couldn't disagree with him. Wei Ying looked around then
pulled out the map Mian Mian gave him. "Well, now that we all know what happened, what
should we do now?"

***

After discussing, they decided that Wei Ying and Xiao XingChen would go to the women's
quarters and bring them to the men's quarters to meet first, while Lan Zhan and Song Lan would
barge into the leader's compartment. Mian Mian remained with the men. Some of them could fight
a little as they used to protect Silk Village from troubles. Handling a few low leveled cultivators
should be fine.

Lan Zhan felt a little unreluctant as he wanted to go with Wei Ying and he didn't want Wei Ying to
see the women from earlier again but he didn't say anything.

Lan Zhan and Song Lan were both quiet people and dislike physical contacts from strangers, unlike
Wei Ying and Xiao XingChen. On the way to the leader's compartment, they communicated with
minimal words and a few nods. They actually understood each other and got along pretty well.

Meanwhile, Wei Ying and Xiao XingChen really got along, with Wei Ying leading most of the
conversation. Wei Ying froze when Xiao XingChen said that he was a disciple of BaoShan
SanRen.

"What's wrong?" Xiao XingChen asked. "Do... Do you know CangSe SanRen?" Wei Ying asked
stammering.

Xiao XingChen was surprised that Wei Ying knew one of his master's disciple. He nodded his
head and replied "Mn. CangSe SanRen, she was one of my master's favourite disciple. I often
heard my master complimenting her, talking about how playful she was, yet very skilled. Even
though I have never seen her before, she is said to be the most beautiful disciple even till now."

Wei Ying nodded his head furiously, listening attentively while smiling when Xiao XingChen said
that his mother was very beautiful. He liked hearing anything related to his parents, which he didn't
get to spend much time with.

Xiao XingChen sighed "Unfortunately, CangSe SanRen passed away after descending the
mountains. My master was quite upset for some time, knowing another of her disciple died after
leaving the mountains. Have you met her before?"

Wei Ying replied "CangSe SanRen is my mother, she passed away when I was 3." Sadness filled
Wei Ying's eyes. He barely remembered his mother.

Xiao XingChen was stunned for a moment "My condolences. She is a very respectable ShiJie."

"It's fine." Wei Ying shrugged it off. "Haha... we seem to be similar in age but I would have to call
you my ShiShu."

Xiao XingChen chuckled and nodded his head. Wei Ying then asked "Do you think I can visit
BaoShan SanRen?"

Xiao XingChen replied as they entered the women's quarters. "Well, we made a vow not to return
after leaving the mountains."

Wei Ying looked down silently and sadly. He felt that if he met BaoShan SanRen, he could hear
about many more stories about his mother.

The woman were kept locked in a room and they didn't have the keys to open it. Wei Ying used
SuiBian to slice the door open. This made quite some noise. A few people in red came immediately
to check things out. Wei Ying and Xiao XingChen settled them and told the women to be quiet and
quick, as they are bringing
them to the men's quarter.

On the way back, they met a few others in red, but finished them without a problem too. When they
returned, Mian Mian heaved a sigh of relief. If more people in red came, the men would not have
been able to hold them off.

The villagers reunited, some bursting in tears despite others saying not to make so much noise. It
couldn't be help. After all, they hadn't seen each other in a few years and were glad to see each
other safe and sound. Mian Mian then started explaining about Yu Jiang.
 Ghost Puppets 3

Lan Zhan and Song Lan arrived at the leader's compartment. Most of the guards were hanging
around that area. They weren't expecting anyone to intrude on them.

Using this chance, Lan Zhan and Song Lan quickly finished them off. They then exchanged
admiration towards each other's sword skills.

"Who are you people" The leader of this group, came out, with his arms around Yu Jiang. He was
shocked to see the others lying on the ground, defeates. He immediately gripped his sword.

All of a sudden, two daggers were thrown, one towards Lan Zhan and the other towards Song Lan.
Of course, they avoided it quickly. Yu Jiang gasped as she didn't expect the daggers to miss their
targets. She quickly placed her arms down and pretended to be innocent.

The leader drew his blade and attacked Lan Zhan. His level of cultivation was as low as his
fellows. Seeing that he couldn't defeat Lan Zhan, he shouted "No. 2! Come out!"

Immediately, the side of the residence crashed and a big, rough looking man appeared. "No. 2,
finish them!" the leader shouted.

No.2 immediately went towards Lan Zhan and Song Lan. He was a dual sword wielder, which
allowed him to attack both of them at once. One hit and they both knew that this No. 2 was on
another league compared to the leader and the rest.

Lan Zhan and Song Lan glanced at each other and they went into action. Lan Zhan focused on No.
2 while Song Lan attacked the leader. Seeing this mess, Yu Jiang quietly and quickly escaped from
the leader's residence.

Song Lan had a little difficulty getting to the leader as No. 2 occasionally interfered. However, the
moment the leader ran out of the residence, No. 2 could not protect him as Lan Zhan was attacking
No. 2. Song Lan immediately chased after the leader.

After clashing for a while, Lan Zhan got the upper hand. He aimed for No. 2's right arm. While
Lan Zhan landed a stab in his right arm, No. 2's left hand immediately formed a fist and punched
Lan Zhan's right shoulder back with great force.

Lan Zhan winced and staggered, while No. 2 clutched onto his right arm. Lan Zhan's right arm was
injured so he switched to his left hand, which was almost just as good. Song Lan returned, dragging
the defeated leader behind him. This took No. 2's attention and Lan Zhan immediately dived in for
another attack, which No. 2 barely defended against.

After a few more hits, Lan Zhan finished him off. "Lan Zhan!" Lan Zhan turned around, to see Wei
Ying running towards him through the open door.

"As expected! Your defeated them easily!" Wei Ying praised the both of them. He then brought Yu
Jiang forward.

"I saw her trying to run away so I went to catch her. What should we do with her?" Wei Ying asked
as he frowned.

"Let the villagers decided." Lan Zhan replied, trying to mask his hurting right arm. He didn't
expect No. 2 to have so much strength. Wei Ying nodded his head and they proceeded to meet up
with the rest.

***

"Yu Jiang! You still dare to trick us?" Yu Cheng shouted.

"I... I didn't. This time I was forced to... They would have killed me otherwise... They said if I don't
follow, they would have killed all of you too" Yu Jiang stammered.

"You're still lying? If you admitted your mistakes and showed remorse, don't you know we all
would forgive you? Even Mian Mian spent her time trying to get help, not flirt with men to survive
alone!" Yu Cheng said in anger and disbelief.

Some of the villagers also started to show disapproving looks. Yu Jiang then started apologising in
tears, begging them not to kick her out and give her another chance. Which they did.

After they came to a conclusion, the villagers thanked the 4 of them and offered whatever they
have left, which they rejected as the villagers needed it. Mian Mian sent them off at the entrance of
the village.

Xiao XingChen and Song Lan left first. They said that they have a suspect in their mind. Now that
they know how to return the ghost puppets to normal, they were going to find out what they were
digging for then confront the mastermind.

Before leaving, Xiao XingChen looked at Wei Ying who seemed to be in low spirits and said "If
you ever find her and see her, she will definitely be very happy to see you."

Wei Ying immediately smiled and gave him a nod, thanking him. Wei Ying knew that Xiao
XingChen couldn't just reveal where BaoShan SanRen lived.

Lan Zhan heard this and got curious. 'Who? Why does Wei Ying suddenly become so happy after
hearing that?'

It was then time for Wei Ying and Lan Zhan to separate from Mian Mian, who kept thanking them
for helping and insisting to repay them somehow. Mian Mian blushed and passed a pouch to Wei
Ying. "This is a medicinal pouch I made myself. Hope it's useful when you need it..."

"It'll be useful, thanks Mian Mian!" Wei Ying said flirtily. He then handed out the last face powder
he had and passed it to Mian Mian. "A beautiful girl like you should have this!"

This made Lan Zhan eyes widened. He felt angry that Wei Ying did not give it to him when he
previously asked for it yet easily gave it to a maiden who didn't even ask for it.

Though in Wei Ying's mind, he thought the scented medicinal pouch would suit ShiJie more. "...
Thanks, Wei GongZi" Mian Mian blushed as she received the face powder.

"Mian Mian!" Yu Cheng called out. Mian Mian then bowed at Wei Ying and Lan Zhan and bid
farewell before running back into the village. Lan Zhan was relieved that Mian Mian had to go
back, before they end up flirting even more.
 Mother

"Hmm, Mian Mian really is a good maiden right?" Wei Ying said with a smile, while looking at
the medicinal pouch then stuffing it in his chest.

Without a word, Lan Zhan sent out BiChen and grabbed Wei Ying's waist with his left hand, then
jumped on BiChen and flew back to WaXi Town.

Wei Ying was shocked by his sudden action but before he could think of what to say, the barking
of the dogs grabbed his attention as he hid his face against Lan Zhan's chest again.

After some time, Wei Ying wondered why they havent reached the entrance of the alley. He then
looked around and realised that they were already reaching the inn. "Lan Zhan! Why didn't you let
me down at the entrance?" Wei Ying complained.

"This is faster." Lan Zhan replied. Thinking of how Wei Ying flirted with Mian Mian and how the
woman kissed Wei Ying, Lan Zhan didn't want to let him down so soon. In fact he had already
travelled one round around WaXi town before returning to the inn while Wei Ying's head was still
burried in his chest.

"Luckily it's night time. If many people saw this, it would certainly be embarrassing!" Wei Ying
commented. "Embarrassing?" Lan Zhan asked as he raised his brows.

"Yea! Two grown man hugging... erm... well, being held like that while mounting a sword is
embarrassing isn't it!" Wei Ying pouted, blushing a little when he realised he said hugging.

Lan Zhan was about to feel a mix of emotions when Wei Ying said that it was embarrassing but
after hearing 'hugging', he decided to let the matter drop and grinned in his heart. 'Indeed, we are
hugging.'

Outside the inn, Lan Zhan finally landed. Wei Ying slapped his right shoulder playfully, saying
"Next time I can mount SuiBian since there are no dogs around here"

"Tss" Lan Zhan winced at Wei Ying's slap. "What's wrong?" Wei Ying panicked. He didn't hit Lan
Zhan that hard.

"Joking" Lan Zhan pulled a calm face and went into the inn.

Wei Ying froze. Lan Zhan joking? Lan Zhan actually joked? He laughed a little at how Lan Zhan
became. He then ran after Lan Zhan. Back in their room, he hit Lan Zhan's right shoulder again,
harder "You really got me this time!"

Lan Zhan winced and grabbed his right shoulder. This did not escape Wei Ying's eyes. "You're not
joking... You're injured right?" Wei Ying said, tugging Lan Zhan's shirt to see his shoulder.

"Wei Ying! What are you doing!" Lan Zhan exclaimed as Wei Ying pulled on his shirt. "Checking
your wounds of course!" Wei Ying rolled his eyes. "This isn't the time to be shy"

"You... You don't have to" Lan Zhan mumbled as Wei Ying successfully pulled open the right part
of his shirt.

"There's already such a huge bruise!" Wei Ying exclaimed as he made Lan Zhan sit on the bed.
Wei Ying touched the bruise, and each time Lan Zhan flinched.
"How did you manage to endure it? Sigh, why didn't you tell me that you were injured? I wouldn't
have slapped you twice" Wei Ying said, feeling a little guilty.

Lan Zhan didn't say anything but he felt touched. Since young, he didn't get injured often but when
he did, he always kept silent. This was the first time someone showed such concern towards his
injury, showering him with such care.

Wei Ying thought about what he should do. He already massaged Lan Zhan's shoulder to make
sure it wasn't dislocated and to ensure proper blood flow. He then remembered the pouch Mian
Mian gave him. He took it out and found some useful herbs, for internal and external injuries.

Wei Ying passed a pill to Lan Zhan to consume and started applying a little for his bruise. Lan
Zhan stared at Wei Ying.

"Why... why are you staring at me? Lan Zhan, it's a bit uncomfortable..." Wei Ying said. Wei Ying
felt Lan Zhan's intense stare while he applied the medicine on Lan Zhan's shoulder the whole time.

"Why were you upset?" Lan Zhan asked. 'How did he know?' Wei Ying thought. He then said with
a smile "I wasn't"

"Why?" Lan Zhan insisted. Lan Zhan felt like it was a secret between Wei Ying and Xiao
XingChen. He also wanted to know what made the always cheerful Wei Ying upset. Wei Ying
sighed and sat beside Lan Zhan. "Xiao XingChen's master is BaoShan SanRen, who is also my
mother's master."

"Your mother?" Lan Zhan asked as he wanted to know more about Wei Ying and his family.

"Mn." Wei Ying said as he nodded his head. "My parents... I don't remember much about them."

Lan Zhan then remembered that Wei Ying told him that he lost his parents when he was 3. Lan
Zhan looked into Wei Ying's eyes and all he saw was sadness, emptiness, not being able to spend
more time and make more memories with his parents.

Wei Ying then said with a sad smile "You know, Lan Zhan, Xiao XingChen said that my mother is
the most beautiful among BaoShan SanRen's disciple! I... Lan Zhan?!"

Lan Zhan pulled Wei Ying into a hug, making Wei Ying shocked. However, that was something
Wei Ying wanted. Lan Zhan felt warm. It reminded Wei Ying of the time when his parents cuddled
him to sleep.

Lan Zhan was absorbed in Wei Ying's eyes and sad smile that he didn't realize what he did.
However, seeing that Wei Ying hugged him back, he didn't let go.

After some time, Lan Zhan saw that Wei Ying was falling asleep, so he flipped them into a lying
down position, while still hugging Wei Ying.

"Lan Zhan... what are you doing?" Wei Ying panicked.

"9pm. Sleep." Lan Zhan replied.

"It's not 9 yet... Lan Zhan, your way of comforting people..." Wei Ying said, dragging his words.

Lan Zhan felt nervous and embarrassed. Wei Ying knew it wasn't 9pm yet. Wei Ying dragging
what he was saying made Lan Zhan even more nervous.
 Names

"It's nice... Thanks Lan Zhan." Wei Ying whispered as he closed his eyes and snuggled his head
against Lan Zhan's shoulder.

Lan Zhan smiled at what Wei Ying said and did. He then looked at Wei Ying who was fast asleep
in his arms, then closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep too.

***

At the same time, "Sect Leader Lan" a man greeted politely "Please enter, we have prepared rooms
for you."

"Jiang Gong Zi" Lan XiChen greeted back "Thanks for your hospitality. You can call me Lan
Huan or Lan XiChen."

Jiang Cheng panicked a little hearing this. Since the first time he met Lan XiChen, he felt
admiration towards this handsome, young, talented man. "Feel free to call me Jiang Cheng or Jiang
WanYin too, Lan... Lan Hu... Lan Huan..." Jiang Cheng said, trying not to be too nervous and
embarrassed.

Lan XiChen smiled at this man's nervousness. "We'll be brother-in-laws soon anyways. Thanks for
welcoming us, WanYin."

Jiang Cheng blushed. Usually people only called him Jiang Cheng, A-Cheng or Jiang GongZi. No
one actually called him Jiang WanYin, or just WanYin. He looked down in an attempt to hide his
blush and said "Lan... Lan Huan, I'll show you to your room."

Lan XiChen chuckled at this man's innocence. This was the first time someone called him by his
birth name, other than his mother. "Mn, thanks a lot, WanYin. Sorry for the trouble. We got here
late."

"No trouble, no trouble" Jiang Cheng replied as he brought Lan XiChen and a few Gusu Lan Sect's
disciple into Lotus Pier.

The next day, Lan XiChen went to Lotus Pier main hall where he greeted "Jiang Sect Leader, Jiang
Gu Niang, WanYin" His smile went up when he said 'WanYin'. Jiang Cheng immediately blushed
and greeted back "Lan... Lan Huan", he stammered a little.

Jiang FengMian and Jian Yanli raised their brows at these two, who suddenly called each other by
their names. Jiang FengMian smiled a little then said "Please sit"

"My apologies, ShuFu is in seclusion while WangJi went down the mountain and will only be back
some time before the wedding" Lan XiChen said politely before sitting down.

"It's fine. A-Xian went to explore and will only be back some time before the wedding too." Jiang
FengMian replied.

"If he'll even come back" Jiang Cheng whispered while rolling his eyes, inviting a nudge from
Jiang Yanli.

Lan XiChen then signaled for Gusu Lan's disciples to bring in the bridal gifts. The previous time,
Yunmeng Jiang Sect went to Gusu Lan Sect to confirm the marriage. This time, Gusu Lan Sect
came to gift Yunmeng Jiang Sect the bridal gifts.

***

Lan Zhan woke up to Wei Ying in his arms again. He thought to himself that this is definitely
something he wanted his whole life. Lan Zhan didn't want to wake Wei Ying up, hence he just laid
there.

Wei Ying woke up hearing 'Badump, Badump, Badump' It was calm and smoothing. He snuggled
against his pillow further, just to realize it was Lan Zhan's chest.

Wei Ying hadn't gotten used to waking up in Lan Zhan's arms. He blushed as he felt embarrassed.
'This Lan Zhan... He is actually more thick skinned than me?! Isn't he embarrassed at all? Or
maybe he's just hiding it... If he did this to any maiden out there... they would definitely go crazy...
definitely crazy...'

Wei Ying suddenly felt himself being pushed up. Lan Zhan realized that Wei Ying woke up after
snuggling into his neck but Wei Ying froze and remained motionless. After a while, Lan Zhan
wondered if something was wrong.

"Are you okay?" Lan Zhan asked Wei Ying.

"Err... yeah yeah i'm okay." Wei Ying stuttered, breaking out of his thoughts.

"Do you know what today is?" Lan Zhan asked.

"Err... our monthly anniversary?" Wei Ying blurted out.

Lan Zhan widened his eyes. "No!... You!..."

This was the first time Wei Ying felt embarrassed over what he blurted out. Seeing that Wei Ying
was thinking so hard, Lan Zhan told him while getting up "Today is... Lantern festival..."

"Ahhh" Wei Ying said as he rubbed his nose. Lan Zhan stared at Wei Ying, not saying another
word. Wei Ying cocked his eyebrow, thinking why Lan Zhan asked him what day today is.

After thinking a while, Wei Ying realised what Lan Zhan wanted. "Ahh! Are you craving for
YuanXiao?"

Seeing Lan Zhan frown at him, Wei Ying burst into laughter. "Hahaha, Lan Zhan, you're so fun to
tease! Alright! I want to release a sky lantern too. Lan Zhan, you could have just told me you
wanted to release a sky lantern with me. Hahahaha" Wei Ying said, exaggerating the 'with me'.

Lan Zhan didn't know how to react, so he decided to go along with his usual "Shameless!"

***NOTES*** During lantern festival they eat YuanXiao and release lanterns.
 Sky Lantern

While waiting for evening to arrive, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan went to Silk Village.

On the way there, Wei Ying spotted something interesting. "Lan Zhan, Lan Zhan, come over!
You'll be interested in this!" Wei Ying shouted while waving his arm to Lan Zhan.

Lan Zhan came over. When Wei Ying opened what he wanted to show Lan Zhan, Lan Zhan's face
immediately turned red. "You! How could you!..." Lan Zhan stuttered, lost and embarrassed.

"Hahahaha" Wei Ying burst out laughing. Lan Zhan's reaction was way more exaggerated than
what he expected. "I knew you haven't seen this before! I've let you gain knowledge, eh?"

"You!... This kind of thing... of course not!" Lan Zhan said, trying to maintain calm.

"Lan Zhan, don't be shy. I have a few other books at home if you want to see!" Wei Ying teased.

"I don't" Lan Zhan exclaimed and walked away.

Wei Ying was still laughing. At that moment, he felt that using the pornography book to get Lan
Zhan's reactions was more entertaining than reading it.

***

When they reached the entrance of the alley, Lan Zhan and Wei Ying mounted BiChen. Wei Ying
clung onto Lan Zhan, prepared to hide himself from all the barkings and growlings, just to realise
that the dogs have gone away.

When the reached the entrance of Silk Village, Wei Ying embarrassedly got off BiChen while
under Lan Zhan's emotionless face, he was beaming from ear to ear.

They checked on Silk Village and to their surprise, Silk Village recovered rather quickly. They
split their jobs, some in charge of farming, some in charge of gathering silkworms, some trained to
get stronger.

Things were smooth but the only thing that disturbed Lan Zhan was Wei Ying flirting with Mian
Mian. When they left, Lan Zhan tried his best to persuade Wei Ying to mount on BiChen.

Wei Ying rejected, saying Mian Mian told him that the dogs have not appeared after losing their
leader.

Lan Zhan refuted it, saying the dogs may be hiding and might come back and if they suddenly
appeared, he might not be able to immediately save Wei Ying. In his heart, he was more
determined to make Wei Ying mount on BiChen with him after hearing him mention Mian Mian.

Wei Ying thought about it and if the dogs really came out, he would be in trouble. Hence, he gave
in and mounted BiChen with Lan Zhan. Lan Zhan reduced his speed on BiChen, using the excuse
of checking out the area, so that Wei Ying stayed in his arms a little longer.

***

Evening came and they bought a lantern. Each of them took two sides. Lan Zhan wrote down all
the well wishes and blessings he wanted to.
He also wrote 'Lan Zhan and Wei Ying' at the bottom, right below 'Happiness'. If Wei Ying saw,
Lan Zhan would just say he wrote that because this lantern belonged to both of them and he had a
habit to write down the owner's name.

Wei Ying used one side to write down all the well wishes and on the other, he decided to draw the
yin yang rabbit keychains he bought. Feeling around, he only found the yang (white) side.

Wei Ying immediately panicked. "Lan Zhan! I lost the yin (black) side of the rabbit keychain!
What should I do? They're supposed to be a pair! How could I have lost it? I don't remember
dropping it! I still had it with me yesterday!"

Lan Zhan didn't know what to say. Last night, the culprit was staring lovingly at Wei Ying. The
culprit was feeling jealous of Wei Ying flirting with others. The rabbit had been on the culprit's
mind for some time so the culprit decided to stealthily take away the yin (black) side, which
resembled the victim, while the victim was asleep.

Wei Ying sulked a little at the loss of the yin side, then continued drawing it based on his memory.
When he was done, he proudly showed off to Lan Zhan. "Look! Cute right?" Wei Ying showed
off.

Lan Zhan was amazed at the drawing and nodded his head. "Cute... Both..." Lan Zhan mumbled,
getting a huge grin from Wei Ying.

Wei Ying nodded his head, thinking he drew both rabbits well. Little did he know, Lan Zhan
meant both the drawing and the person who drew it. They then released the lantern together.

"I wish that I, Wei WuXian, can help and protect the weak my whole life, with a good conscience"
Wei Ying said with his eyes closed, hands clasped together.

Lan Zhan looked at Wei Ying and smiled thinking 'Mn, I really like this man'. He then clasped his
hand and silently wished 'I wish that I, Lan WangJi, can help and protect the weak my whole life,
with a good conscience'.

Wei Ying was watching the lantern fly off into the clouds while Lan Zhan stared at Wei Ying,
thinking of how this man was not only cute, mischevious, good at cultivation but also righteous,
giving Lan Zhan another reason to like this man.

Under the late evening sky, Wei Ying's beautiful features stood out more, grasping Lan Zhan's
attention.

Wei Ying turned to face Lan Zhan just to see Lan Zhan staring at him. "Lan Zhan, why are you
staring at me like that? You're jealous that I'm handsome right?"

"Shameless" Lan Zhan said and turned around, heading back to the inn. Wei Ying grinned and
followed him but wondered why Lan Zhan was staring at him.
 Like 1

"Ow!" Wei Ying was suddenly smacked forward. Lan Zhan immediately turned back with hostility
in his eyes.

Wei Ying turned around frowning, then his expression relaxed greatly. "JIANG CHENG!" Wei
Ying shouted as he threw himself towards Jiang Cheng and gave his buddy a big hug.

Lan Zhan immediately frowned at the sight of Wei Ying hugging another man.

"Where have you been! You just left without a word! You're nothing but trouble!" Jiang Cheng
nagged the moment he saw Wei Ying. "I know I know." Wei Ying said with a wide grin, patting
Jiang Cheng's back.

Lan Zhan stood by the side and watched them catch up with each other. He was sulking in his heart
when something they said caught his attention.

"How's ShiJie?" Wei Ying asked. "Now you remember A-Jie!" Jiang Cheng said with his usual
annoyed tone.

"Come on, what do you mean? ShiJie is on my mind all the time okay?" Wei Ying whined.

"She's here too, we're staying at the inn right around this corner." Jiang Cheng said, knowing
what's going to come.

"What?!" Wei Ying exclaimed. "Bring me to her! Bring me! Bring me!"

Jiang Cheng glanced at Lan Zhan. Wei Ying saw then asked "Lan Zhan, i'll go off for a while!
Or... do you want to come along?"

Lan Zhan shook his head. Wei Ying then said "Wait for me at the inn! I'll be back!"

Wei Ying then dragged Jiang Cheng away, asking him to hurry bring him to ShiJie.

"ShiJie!" Wei Ying immediately ran towards ShiJie the moment he caught sight of her figure.

"A-Xian! What are you doing here!" Jiang Yanli exclaimed with a pleasant surprise.

"I have been travelling around with a partner I met near Gusu!" Wei Ying said happily. "What
about you two?"

"Mother asked us to go to Lanling Jin Sect" Jiang Yanli said.

"Tch, to see that stupid flower peacock?" Wei Ying said.

Jiang Cheng nodded his head, approving of the nickname Wei Ying gave to Jin ZiXuan.

"Do not be rude." Jiang Yanli scolded them.

***

At the inn, Lan Zhan paced around. He was very curious about this ShiJie. He then decided to take
a walk. Just a walk that happens to be near that inn.
Nearing the inn, he heard a very familiar voice "ShiJie, I really missed you and your lotus pork rib
soup! You're the best!"

Though Lan Zhan felt like he shouldn't do this, he still peeked into the window by the inn and saw
Wei Ying slurping up a bowl of soup. "Thanks ShiJie for the soup!"

What he saw next made him clench his fist and widened his eyes. His heart beat faster in
nervousness and jealousy. Wei Ying rested his head on Jiang Yanli's lap. Jiang Yanli stroked Wei
Ying's head while Wei Ying called out "ShiJie..."

Wei Ying then said "ShiJie, I was in an alley when a group of wild dogs surrounded me!"

Jiang Yanli immediately said "You must have been scared right? What happened next?"

Wei Ying said "Yea! I was scared to death! Luckily my partner brought me out of there. You
know, ShiJie, at that time I really missed you! You would always help me chase them away"

Jiang Yanli gave Wei Ying a gentle smile. Remembering the incident, Wei Ying then asked
"ShiJie, why does one person like another person?"

Lan Zhan immediately widened his eyes. 'Wei Ying was reminiscing about their past and suddenly
asked this question. Is he about to confess to his ShiJie? Did being apart make him realize he likes
his ShiJie?'

Jiang Yanli chuckled and said "Looks like our A-Xian haven't grown up!"

Wei Ying then whined and said "Xian Xian is 3 years old!"

Lan Zhan frowned at their intimacy. He felt a slight sharp pain in his heart, then turned around and
walked back to the inn. He tried not to but still
showed a dispirited look.

"Are you coming back with us? Lan Sect Leader has came with bridal gifts." Jiang Yanli asked.

Wei Ying sat up, remembering Lan Zhan. "No, ShiJie... I would like to stay out a little longer..."

"Alright, but come back soon okay?" Jiang Yanli said.

"Mn." Wei Ying said, nodding his head.

Wei Ying was returning to the inn he and Lan Zhan stayed in. He then remembered he wanted to
give ShiJie the medicinal pouch but after thinking of Lan Zhan's wounds, Wei Ying decided to
hold on to it first.

Wei Ying was skipping along until he paused in shock. He saw a woman carrying a tiny child
clinging onto Lan Zhan. Her arms were wrapped around Lan Zhan's neck and her head was burried
in Lan Zhan's chest.

Wei Ying's blood boiled with anger. All he could think about was 'That's my spot!' All of a sudden,
many thoughts invaded his mind. 'What's their relationship? She's carrying a child too? Why is she
hugging my Lan Zhan? Don't Lan Zhan hate physical contact with others? Why isn't he shaking her
off? Don't tell me... this is his lover?'

The moment Wei Ying thought that this woman might be his lover and the kid might be theirs, he
suddenly felt that he has no right to interfere. It wasn't like Lan Zhan belonged to him. "Oh ho, Lan
Zhan! What's this?" Wei Ying said in a teasing tone, trying his best to mask his anger and
jealousness.

Lan Zhan stammered "I'm not sure. I don't know her." All he could think of was 'Wei Ying's not
jealous. Looks like he confessed to his ShiJie... He looks happy'

Lan Zhan was returning to the inn when all of a sudden, this woman carrying the child ran out and
into his arms. Lan Zhan felt awkward and didn't know what to do. He tried shrugging the woman
off but it didn't work.

Hearing that Lan Zhan doesn't know this woman, Wei Ying felt relieved. But he still eyed that
woman. How could she take his spot!

Knowing that this woman wasn't Lan Zhan's lover, Wei Ying tried talking to the woman, in his
mind it was filled with 'Get away from my Lan Zhan!'

Wei Ying slightly separated them but the woman hugged Lan Zhan even tighter! Wei Ying was so
angry. He started fighting with the woman over Lan Zhan. He was pushing the woman away but
the woman was not budging and continued to cling onto Lan Zhan.

This threw Lan Zhan into confusion as he watched the two people having a tug-of-war fight around
him. He froze on the spot, not knowing what to think of this.

Suddenly, a man ran out of the inn. He paused in shock then quickly said "Qing Qing, i'm sorry. I
was at fault. Come back okay?"

The woman looked at the man, then tore away from Lan Zhan and lept into the man's arms, crying
even harder.

Wei Ying saw and immediately jumped on Lan Zhan like a koala bear. Lan Zhan was so confused.
Wei Ying didn't know what he was doing, only following his mind which was still filled with
thoughts of the woman taking his spot.

Wei Ying got off and immediately dragged Lan Zhan back into the room. He immediately tugged
at Lan Zhan's clothes, trying to take it off.
Lan Zhan who was confused and shocked, let Wei Ying did what he wanted. Wei Ying took off
Lan Zhan's shirt, leaving Lan Zhan in his inner robes. Wei Ying then jumped on Lan Zhan like a
koala bear again.

"... Wei Ying... what are you doing...?" Lan Zhan asked.

Wei Ying tightened his grip around Lan Zhan and burried his head against Lan Zhan's neck. After
a moment of silence, he said "I don't know."

"..." Lan Zhan didn't know what to say.

"Don't let anyone hug you like that woman did just now" Wei Ying whispered.

Lan Zhan asked "Why?" while wrapping his arms around Wei Ying and carrying him to the bed to
take a seat.

"Don't. I don't like it." Wei Ying said, feeling a little relaxed after Lan Zhan wrapped his arms
around him.

"Why?" Lan Zhan asked again.

"I... don't know, I just don't like it! Don't do it." Wei Ying repeated.

"What happens if I do?" Lan Zhan asked.

"DON'T!" Wei Ying exclaimed, raising his voice a little.

"Wei Ying... do you... like me?" Lan Zhan asked. He was confused by all of what Wei Ying did but
like how he didn't want to see Wei Ying getting close to other people, maybe Wei Ying felt the
same.

Wei Ying lifted his face and looked at Lan Zhan. "I... I..." Suddenly, Wei Ying's face turned redder
than ever. Wei Ying couldn't think.

Wei Ying hurriedly tried getting off Lan Zhan but Lan Zhan immediately used one hand to hold his
back, making him stay in the same position and the other grabbed Wei Ying's face, so Wei Ying
couldn't look away.

Wei Ying's mind was still blank, filled with Lan Zhan's voice asking "Wei Ying... do you... like
me?" The more he tried thinking, the redder his face got.

Seeing Wei Ying's reaction, Lan Zhan's lips curled upwards. He became braver and more
confident. He asked again "Wei Ying, do you like me?"
 Like 3

Wei Ying's mind was already thrown into chaos and Lan Zhan just had to ask him again. He
immediately use one hand to cover Lan Zhan's mouth. He needed to calm down and think.

Seeing that Wei Ying wasn't struggling to get off anymore, Lan Zhan released his hand and
grabbed on Wei Ying's hand which was covering his mouth.

LWJ: "Wei Ying, do you like..."

Wei Ying immediately used his other hand to cover Lan Zhan's mouth. Lan Zhan then used his
other hand to grab Wei Ying's hand again.

LWJ: "Wei Ying, do you..."

Wei Ying panicked. He was still sorting out his thoughts. In a panic, he used his mouth to shut Lan
Zhan's mouth.

... It was silent.

Lan Zhan was secretly enjoying this. A cute, blushing, flustered Wei Ying sitting on his lap. It
seemed like Wei Ying liked him too. He continued teasing Wei Ying when Wei Ying suddenly
kissed him.

Lan Zhan was surprised but stuck his tongue out and licked Wei Ying's lips. Wei Ying who finally
sorted out his thoughts was surprised by Lan Zhan's tongue.

Wei Ying tried to push Lan Zhan backwards but Lan Zhan was grabbing his two wrists. Wei Ying
moved his head back and uttered "Lan Zhan..."

Lan Zhan looked at Wei Ying. "Wei Ying,... do you like me?"

Wei Ying slowly nodded, his head turned to his left cutely, his face even redder. Lan Zhan put on
the widest smile he ever had. He pushed Wei Ying, pinning him onto the bed.

Lan Zhan was feeling down as he thought Wei Ying had feelings for his ShiJie but after Wei
Ying's confirmation of his feelings, Lan Zhan couldn't help himself. Looks like it was a
misunderstanding. He was happier than ever, wanting to claim Wei Ying as his own.

With his left hand, Lan Zhan grabbed both of Wei Ying's wrist. The other was gently placed on
Wei Ying's cheeks. "Wei Ying, I like you."

With that said, Lan Zhan kissed Wei Ying. Wei Ying was surprised, but ecstatic. He felt happier
than the time he was picking lotus with Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli. He wasn't really expecting
Lan Zhan to like him too.

Lan Zhan stuck his tongue in and Wei Ying didn't resist. This was their first sober, totally
uninfluenced kiss. They couldn't find excuses to explain why they were kissing each other other
than the fact that they like each other.

Soon enough, Wei Ying was panting. He was also drooling a little as he didn't have time to
swallow his saliva. Being out of breath, he tried to stop the kiss. Wei Ying struggled but couldn't
free his hands from Lan Zhan's monstrous arm strength.
"Huff huff... Lan Zhan... huff... stop... i... mmm... huff... i can't" Wei Ying said between pants and
moans.

Seeing that Wei Ying really needed to catch his breath, Lan Zhan lifted his face, his hand still
gripping Wei Ying's hands tightly.

"Huff huff huff... Lan Zhan, you... huff are you trying to suffocate me to death? Huff..." Wei Ying
panted. He then wriggled his arms but to no avail.

"Lan Zhan... let go..." Wei Ying said, still catching his breath.

"No." Lan Zhan said while giving Wei Ying many pecks on his lips and cheek as he was still
catching his breath.

"Lan Zhan, you're very good, I like you." Wei Ying said, staring into Lan Zhan's eyes.

Lan Zhan's ear turned pink. "Wei Ying, I like you too. A lot. Very much." Lan Zhan said and
kissed Wei Ying again.

Wei Ying was shocked. He was still tired from the kiss and Lan Zhan came for another one. Soon
enough, he was panting and drooling again. "Lan Zhan... huff huff... i really can't" Wei Ying said
with heavy pants.

Lan Zhan looked at Wei Ying. Such a delicious meal laid in front on him. Wei Ying struggling
under him, his face blushing madly, making sounds of pants and moans while calling out Lan
Zhan's name increased Lan Zhan's excitement.

"Wei Ying..." Lan Zhan mumbled before diving into Wei Ying's neck. He began sucking and
licking Wei Ying's neck, his right arm unbuckling Wei Ying's belt.

"Ahhh, Lan Zhan, not there... Ahhh... It's ticklish.... Mmmm..." Wei Ying moaned.

Lan Zhan's hand found it's way under Wei Ying's robes and as Lan Zhan slid his hand across Wei
Ying's slender body to his chest, Wei Ying moaned "Ahhh!"

Every time Lan Zhan's hand slide across Wei Ying's body, he moaned "Mmmm" and everytime
Lan Zhan 'accidentally' played with Wei Ying's nipple, Wei Ying moaned "Ahhhh"

Wei Ying was excited by Lan Zhan's hands and mouth. Lan Zhan pinning him down was slightly
embarrassing but gave him a different sense of pleasure. He was being oppressed which made him
feel controlled.

Lan Zhan was excited by Wei Ying's body, pants and moans. Seeing Wei Ying wriggling under
him gave him a sense of dominance, exciting him further.

Both of Lan Zhan's legs were in between Wei Ying's legs. Lan Zhan pressed his body down and
both of them could feel something hard against their own hardness.

"Lan Zhan... I..." Wei Ying blushed, not knowing what to say. Wei Ying noticed that Lan Zhan's
ear had turned red and found it so cute.

Lan Zhan used his right hand to caress Wei Ying's groin while nibbling on his ear. Wei Ying
immediately moaned in pleasure.

Having his own groin rubbed by the person he liked, accompanied with the fabric in between and
his sensitive ear being nibbled on, Wei Ying was so pleasured he thrusted his chest and hips
upwards.

Lan Zhan was shocked by this sudden action but grinned, knowing Wei Ying was feeling good.
 Like 4

Lan Zhan pulled off his forehead ribbon and tied Wei Ying's hands to the pole at the corner of the
bed. Wei Ying didn't resist. In fact, he blushed as Lan Zhan had told him the importance of the
forehead ribbon before.

Lan Zhan then pulled off all of Wei Ying's clothes. Suddenly being stripped naked, Wei Ying felt
embarrassed and tried resisting. He wriggled his body, trying to find a place to hide in. He crossed
his legs, trying to hide his hardness from Lan Zhan. With his hands tied up, he couldn't cover his
naked body.

Even though Wei Ying was embarrassed, the pleasure he felt increased and he became more
excited. Lan Zhan stared at Wei Ying's body. He looked at it as if he discovered a treasure and he
could feel Wei Ying's excitement. He wanted to stare and look at Wei Ying's body all the time but
seeing Wei Ying squirming around, he couldn't control himself.

Lan Zhan pecked Wei Ying's lips then nibbled his ears, before leaving his marks on Wei Ying's
neck. His hands roamed around his new found treasure.

Wei Ying moved everytime Lan Zhan's hand was on him. Wei Ying wiggled around, feeling
pleasure, at the same time, exciting Lan Zhan even more.

Wei Ying then asked Lan Zhan to remove the forehead ribbon but Lan Zhan refused. "Please, Lan
Zhan, I want you to feel good too."

Lan Zhan slid his pants down a little, revealing his cock. Wei Ying stared at it's huge size. He then
shivered 'That's not going in me right?'

Lan Zhan leaned down and grabbed Wei Ying's cock in one hand and the other poked his tiny
hole.

Wei Ying's eyes widened "Lan Zhan! You can't! Don't touch there!" Wei Ying was frantically
moving about, trying to escape Lan Zhan's hands.

"No... Lan Zhan, I... I don't know how men do it..." Wei Ying said, embarrassed. "I'll do it." Lan
Zhan said.

"No! You can't! I'm scared... I'm scared, Lan Zhan." Wei Ying's eyes teared up a little at Lan
Zhan's threatening finger which was poking about at the entrance of the hole and his threatening
huge size hanging around near his hole.

Lan Zhan took his hand away from Wei Ying's hole and kissed Wei Ying. "Alright, we'll not for
today."

Lan Zhan really wanted to but he didn't want to scare off Wei Ying. Whereas Wei Ying thought
'for today?'

Lan Zhan then started rubbing his dick against Wei Ying's. Seeing Wei Ying moan in pleasure, he
couldn't help it and used his large hand to grab both their dicks, stroking them together.

As Wei Ying's moans and pants increased, Lan Zhan's pace increased. Wei Ying asked for a kiss
and Lan Zhan gave it to him immediately.
"Lan Zhan!" Wei Ying cried as he moaned and came. Lan Zhan came right after he heard Wei
Ying shout his name. He laid on Wei Ying's body, head against Wei Ying's neck, breathing in Wei
Ying's scent.

"Huff... Lan Zhan... release my hands... huff... please... it's sore..." Wei Ying said while catching
his breath. His whole body had no more energy.

Lan Zhan with his body still on Wei Ying, lifted his head and arms to untie the knot. Wei Ying's
hands were finally free. His hands had no energy. He slowly moved his hands and wrapped it
around Lan Zhan.

"Thanks Lan Zhan" Wei Ying said. Lan Zhan knew Wei Ying meant thanks for not forcing him to
go further. He replied "Mn."

"Lan Zhan, I like you." Wei Ying said.

"Wei Ying, I like you too." Lan Zhan replied. Wei Ying could feel Lan Zhan tighten his hug
around him before lifting his head to kiss Wei Ying.

Lan Zhan then got up and cleaned up Wei Ying, dressed him, then settled himself before squeezing
into the same bed.

Like how they occasionally slept, Wei Ying snuggled into Lan Zhan's arms and leaned his head
against Lan Zhan's chest. Lan Zhan pulled Wei Ying
closer than before.

This time, they didn't feel awkward or embarrassed. They knew of each other feelings which
reciprocated theirs.

Wei Ying felt grateful beyond words. He was happier than when he first received SuiBian and felt
full and satisfied. Lan Zhan wasn't very different either. He felt the same as Wei Ying did. Both of
them fell asleep more comfortable than ever.
 Book

Morning came and this was by far the best one Lan Zhan had. Looks like his dream of waking up
to see Wei Ying in his arms every morning would come true.

Lan Zhan wanted Wei Ying to wake up in his arms so he decided to read in the position he was in.

Lan Zhan was so engrossed in his book that he did not realize Wei Ying was waking up. Wei Ying
opened his eyes to find himself in the warm embrace of his lover. He smiled and looked up at Lan
Zhan then he frowned.

'I'm glad Lan Zhan's reading in this position. But I woke up and he's still not paying attention to
me.' Wei Ying pouted and continued thinking 'When is he going to look at me? And give me a
morning kiss or something... wait... morning kiss? What am I thinking?! ...' Wei Ying blushed a
little then pouted again 'He's still not looking at me!'

Wei Ying got a little jealous of the book. He shifted himself upwards to block Lan Zhan's view.

"BANG!" A loud sound resonated which startled Wei Ying.

"What's wrong?" Wei Ying frowned. Lan Zhan was acting so weird today. For a moment, he
wondered if Lan Zhan regretted saying that he like him too.

"No-Nothing..." Lan Zhan said, his ears turning a little pink. He gave Wei Ying a peck on the lips
then greeted "Good afternoon."

Wei Ying frowned. "If nothing then why did you suddenly shut the book so loudly? You didn't pay
attention to me either. What on earth are you reading..." Wei Ying said as he turned around to look
at the book.

Lan Zhan immediately got off the bed and shifted his hand such that the book was behind his back.
"Let's get going."

Wei Ying frowned with curiousness. He then changed his face to a normal one and said "Alright!
Where are we going today?" as he slowly got off the bed.

Seeing this, Lan Zhan heaved a sigh of relief and thought 'Lucky Wei Ying didn't... ?!?! WHAT
?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!'

Lan Zhan froze. The moment he thought Wei Ying didn't notice something wrong, he let down his
guard and Wei Ying snatched the book.

Wei Ying immediately opened it and he was left speechless. Lan Zhan's ear turned red. Beet red.

"..."
"..."
"..." Wei Ying tried saying something but he couldn't. After a few glances between the book and
the embarrassed Lan Zhan, Wei Ying burst out laughing.

In between his uncontrollable laughter, he said "Hahahaha Lan Zhan, you... hahaha... I can't
believe... Hahahaha... You're... unbelievable... Hahahaha" while rolling about on the bed.

Lan Zhan was too embarrassed. He pinned Wei Ying down on the bed as watching Wei Ying
laugh at him while rolling about only made him more embarrassed.

"Don't laugh." Lan Zhan commanded with a frown. No one ever laughed at him like that. He was
feeling way too embarrassed.

Wei Ying couldn't help himself. After he finally, finally stopped laughing, a few drop of tears had
already rolled down the side of his eyes. Lan Zhan was too embarrassed and had his head burried
in Wei Ying's neck.

"Pffft, Lan Zhan, what are you reading so early in the morning? HAHAHA. No wonder... No
wonder last night you said you'll do it so confidently. No wonder yesterday morning you suddenly
disappeared then reappeared. Were you too embarrassed to buy a pornography book in front of me?
It's between men too! Hahaha" Wei Ying teased, with a couple of laughs.

"Lan Zhan, look at me." Wei Ying said. Lan Zhan shook his head, tickling Wei Ying. Wei Ying
giggled and said again "Lan Zhan, look at me. Give me my morning kiss too. A deeeep one."

Lan Zhan lifted his face. He saw Wei Ying's eyes slightly widened and guessed that his face must
be very red, considering the amount of heat he felt on his face. Seeing that Wei Ying was about to
laugh again, Lan Zhan gave him the deeeep kiss he wanted.

Lan Zhan thought he set the mood right and lifted his lips from a panting Wei Ying, just to have it
destroyed by a chuckling while panting Wei Ying. Lan Zhan frowned.

Wei Ying looked at Lan Zhan and gave him a tight koala bear hug. "Lan Zhan, you're so cute... I
love you so much!" Wei Ying felt like his heart was exploding from happiness. "Arghhh, why are
you doing this to me? I want to hug you the tightest I can"

Lan Zhan's retreating blush advanced again. "Wei Ying... I love you too... I bought the book
because... I was just... just..." Not knowing how to continue, Lan Zhan decided to just kiss Wei
Ying again.

"You haven't... huff... finished your sentence." Wei Ying teased when Lan Zhan pulled away.

"..." Seeing Lan Zhan so flustered, Wei Ying found it so cute. "Ahh! Lan Zhan, I've just realised!
Ever since we came to this town you have been acting very jealous! I thought you were having
mood swings! But why were you flirting with the seller of the yin yang rabbits though?"

"See if you get jealous" Lan Zhan replied with his expressionless face.

Wei Ying let out a "Pfft Hahahaha" then squeezed Lan Zhan a little. Wei Ying then said while
releasing Lan Zhan "You're so cute. I'm sorry though, I lost the... the... THE YIN RABBIT?"

As if on cue, when Wei Ying released Lan Zhan and said 'lost', the yin rabbit dropped out from Lan
Zhan's robe, onto Wei Ying's chest.

Lan Zhan burried his head in Wei Ying's neck in embarrassment while Wei Ying started laughing
uncontrollably again. "Lan Zhan! Why didn't you tell me you took the yin (black) rabbit Hahahaha"

Just like that, they started their first day together with Lan Zhan being embarrassed and Wei Ying
laughing till he cried.
 Teach

Wei Ying was in a good mood today. After all, he laughed his ass off early in the afternoon. He
hopped around while humming a tune.

Seeing Wei Ying this happy, Lan Zhan just shook his head. Maybe getting this embarrassed was
worth it after all.

Wei Ying hopped around the shops then hopped back to Lan Zhan's side. He then grabbed Lan
Zhan's sleeve and tugged it about. "Lan Zhan, we've been here for some time, shall we move on to
the next town?"

"Mn. Tomorrow." Lan Zhan replied.

"Alright!" Wei Ying said, excited to visit another town.

"Young man! I recognize you! How was the book? Would you like to purchase more?" the owner
of a stall in front of them waved towards them.

Lan Zhan shook his head politely and sped up, while Wei Ying started laughing while holding his
stomach, trying to catch up with Lan Zhan.

"He recognizes you!" Wei Ying teased "By the way, what have you learnt from the book?"

Lan Zhan grabbed Wei Ying's wrist and pushed him into a small alley right in front of them,
pinning him against the wall. "Oh my, Lan Zhan, you've learnt to drag me into a hidden corner to
do something?" Wei Ying said, trying not to burst out laughing.

"Stop... Stop teasing me" Lan Zhan said, his red ears standing out.

"I love teasing you" Wei Ying replied with a peck on Lan Zhan's lips, which Lan Zhan
reciprocated with a deep kiss, leaving Wei Ying breathless.

They then walked around the town, deciding where to head towards the next day. At a quiter place,
Wei Ying grabbed Lan Zhan's hand and interlocked it.

Lan Zhan got a little flustered "Wei Ying, what are you doing?"

"Holding your hand!" Wei Ying said, while planting a kiss on Lan Zhan's cheek.

"Wei Ying, I love you" Lan Zhan said as he tightened his interlocked hand around Wei Ying's.

"I know." Wei Ying replied.

"... Wei Ying, you love me." Lan Zhan said.

"Hmm, are you sure?" Wei Ying teased.

Lan Zhan stopped walking and said "You love me!" with a slightly more confident tone.

"Hmmm" Wei Ying continued teasing as he continued walking.

However, Lan Zhan didn't budge. "Wei Ying, you love me!" Lan Zhan repeated, louder than
before.
Grinning, Wei Ying stood in front of Lan Zhan and said "Yea! I love you!"

"Can I hug you?" Lan Zhan asked softly.

"What was that?" Wei Ying asked pretending not to hear.

Lan Zhan knew that Wei Ying definitely heard what he said and pulled Wei Ying into his arms.
Wei Ying chuckled and said "Lan Zhan, you don't have to ask."

"Mn." Lan Zhan replied, giving Wei Ying a peck on the cheek.

Wei Ying used one hand to cover his cheek and looked at Lan Zhan in shock. "We're still outside!
Lan Zhan! You have grown cheeky overnight! By the way, I'm hungry, Lan Zhan. Let's eat."

"Mn." Lan Zhan replied, not letting go.

"Erm... Lan Zhan? I said let's go." Wei Ying said, trying to wriggle his way out of Lan Zhan's
embrace.

"Mn." Lan Zhan said, still not letting go.

"Let's go eat then... maybe... you can teach me what you learnt... from the book..." Wei Ying
whispered in Lan Zhan's ear.

Lan Zhan immediately let go of Wei Ying and dragged him back to the direction of the inn,
making Wei Ying chuckle.

"Lan Zhan ah, you're unexpectedly so dirty minded." Wei Ying teased.

"Only to you." Lan Zhan replied, which caught Wei Ying off guard, making him blush. "What are
you saying..."

***

During dinner, Wei Ying was begging Lan Zhan to drink with him. "Just a cup!"

"No." Lan Zhan replied for the umpteenth time.

Wei Ying whined. "Lan Zhan! Drink one cup for your love towards me! ... Or... do you not love
me?"

Looking at Lan Zhan with puppy eyes while pouting, Lan Zhan sighed in defeat and gulped it
down. Wei Ying looked at him with sparkling eyes, welcoming drunk Lan Zhan.

Just like before, Lan Zhan was knocked out, then he woke up. Wei Ying grinned. He made Lan
Zhan drunk not only to see his cute drunk Lan Zhan but also to escape from whatever Lan Zhan
was going to teach him.

"Lan Zhan, it's question and answer time. Isn't this game fun?" Wei Ying looked up at Lan Zhan
with excitement.

"Mn." Lan Zhan replied.

"Okay! Frist easy question! Do you love me?" Wei Ying asked.

"No." Lan Zhan replied.

His voice was filled with determination that Wei Ying couldn't doubt what he said. Wei Ying
slammed the table and stood up. He clenched his fist and looked down at Lan Zhan.
'Why? It's not true... Lan Zhan wouldn't lie to me! He said he loves me. But now he says he doesn't
love me... Which one is true? I can't believe this...' Wei Ying thought. His mind was in a mess. He
felt upset, frustrated and betrayed.
 Love

"Lan Zhan, I ask you again. Do you love me?" Wei Ying said, one hand grabbing Lan Zhan's
shoulder, the other pointing to himself desperately.

"Mn." Lan Zhan replied, nodding his head.

Wei Ying pumped his fists in the air in celebration. "That's right! Lan Zhan loves me! Lan Zhan,
tell the whole world! You love me, right?"

"No." Lan Zhan said.

Wei Ying was shocked. He stared at Lan Zhan in confusion. He cupped Lan Zhan's cheeks and
asked sadly "You don't love me?"

Lan Zhan nodded his head. Wei Ying was upset, angry and confused.

"I don't love me" Lan Zhan said suddenly, which made Wei Ying more confused.

"Err... you don't love you?" Wei Ying asked.

Lan Zhan nodded and said "I don't love me and you. I love my Wei Ying."

Wei Ying was left speechless. "Hahaha, Lan Zhan, you scared me! Lan Zhan, do you love Wei
Ying."

"Mn, I love Wei Ying!" Lan Zhan said, like a kid confessing his love for a lollipop.

Wei Ying gave him a bright smile. "I love Lan Zhan!"

Lan Zhan's ears turned pink. "Mn!" Lan Zhan said, his voice obviously happy.

"Then... how much do you love Wei Ying?" Wei Ying asked curiously.

Lan Zhan replied without hesitation "Very much."

Wei Ying frowned. "How much is very much" Wei Ying said, sulking.

Lan Zhan looked at Wei Ying and moved his face closer to Wei Ying's face. With all seriousness,
he said "The most"

Wei Ying blushed at what Lan Zhan said and did. He then leaned in and gave Lan Zhan a peck on
the lips.

Lan Zhan stood up. He pulled Wei Ying up and pinned him on the bed. Drunk Lan Zhan couldn't
handle a cute Wei Ying very well. "Err... Lan Zhan, what's this?" Wei Ying said with nervousness.

Lan Zhan dived in and kissed Wei Ying. He used one hand to pull down Wei Ying's chin since the
nervous and flustered Wei Ying refused to open his mouth.

Soon enough, Wei Ying was panting, moaning, tired but excited and drooling. Lan Zhan pulled
away to look at Wei Ying and got even more excited, kissing Wei Ying while pulling his robes.

Wei Ying used his two hands to push Lan Zhan away but the strong Lan Zhan didn't budge much.
With much effort, he finally managed to get Lan Zhan to stop.

"Lan Zhan you can't! We're not doing this tonight. It's impossible, I even got you drunk to avoid
this!" Wei Ying rambled on and on until all of a sudden, he couldn't say anything but "Mmmn
Mmmn Mmmph"

Lan Zhan then nodded his head in satisfaction and went to leave his marks on Wei Ying's neck,
collarbone and chest.

Wei Ying could only "Mmn" the whole time. He was so confused. Why can't he speak? He was
enjoying it but he wasn't prepared for Lan Zhan's big thing to invade him yet.

After some time, Wei Ying gave up on trying to talk and only "Mmn" that came out were moans.
Lan Zhan was only satisfied after seeing Wei Ying's neck and chest covered in hickeys and bites.

Lan Zhan bit Wei Ying's neck hard the first time, which made Wei Ying get a shock. Since Wei
Ying couldn't talk, he was scared and a tear dropped down. Lan Zhan then gave him a hug, a peck
on the lips, then bit gentler, making Wei Ying relax a little.

"MMMNNN" Wei Ying moaned. Lan Zhan had pulled down Wei Ying's pants and started stroking
on Wei Ying's hardness. With a gentle bite on Wei Ying's nipple from Lan Zhan, Wei Ying
moaned while squirting out thick white liquid.

Lan Zhan then used his finger and scooped a little of the liquid Wei Ying squirted out, then rubbed
Wei Ying's hole. Wei Ying widened his eyes and flailed his legs. "MMN MMN! MNN MNN
MMNN MMN!" Wei Ying 'mned' in protest.

"Mmmn Mnn! Mnn can't!" Wei Ying paused. He realized he could speak. He felt relieved and said
"Lan Zhan Lan Zhan! You can't! Don't do this!"

Lan Zhan looked at Wei Ying. Wei Ying then scrambled for ideas and came up with one. "It's
9pm! Sleep!"

Lan Zhan froze, appearing to be thinking. He then pressed his clothed hardness against Wei Ying's
ass. Wei Ying blushed. He was wavering. He wanted it but he was scared.

Wei Ying then grabbed Lan Zhan's head with one hand, pulling him into a deep kiss and the other
landed on Lan Zhan's hardness, slowly stroking it.

As Lan Zhan's tongue moved quicker in Wei Ying's mouth, Wei Ying's hand moved up and down
quicker. Without warning, Lan Zhan came. Wei Ying heaved a sigh of relief.

Before Lan Zhan could do anything, Wei Ying hugged Lan Zhan and snuggled his head against
Lan Zhan's chest.

Like a reflex, Lan Zhan hugged Wei Ying tightly and covered themselves with the blanket.

Morning came and Lan Zhan woke up first. His lips curved slightly upwards seeing his lover in his
arms. After admiring his face, Lan Zhan looked downward and jumped up in shock.

Through Wei Ying's loosely tied robes, the collarbone was exposed. 'Why is Wei Ying covered in
love and bite marks?!' Lan Zhan thought as he shook Wei Ying up.

"Lan Zhan? What are you doing? Let me sleep a little more..." Wei Ying said sleepily.
"Wei Ying! Why do you have such marks?" Lan Zhan asked with a heavy and strict tone.

**NOTES**
Lan Zhan doesn't love 'me'. Lan Zhan loves Wei Ying ❤
 Travel

Lan Zhan's question made Wei Ying awake. "Are you serious, Lan Zhan? You don't remember?
You were the one who did all these! I haven't even asked you! What on earth did you do last night
that I can't speak?!"

Lan Zhan then tried recalling last night. 'Ahh... I drank wine... then err... Wei Ying asked me if I
love him... I said no?... I pinned him down... He got drunk because he doesn't want to do it with
me?... I used the silencing spell on him...'

Wei Ying saw Lan Zhan's face colour draining. Lan Zhan then looked at Wei Ying and apologised.
"Sorry, that was a silencing spell. It will automatically dispel after 5-10 minutes."

Wei Ying looked at Lan Zhan in disbelief. "I annoyed you so many times and you never used it on
me... instead you chose to use it last night?"

Lan Zhan looked down, feeling guilty. "Sorry..." 'Wei Ying must have been startled. Why did I do
that' Lan Zhan thought, scolding himself in his mind.

Wei Ying saw Lan Zhan's face and thought that it was cute. He didn't mean to make Lan Zhan feel
bad. "I'll forgive you if you give me my morning kiss and a tight hug."

Lan Zhan's face lit up a little and immediately pinned Wei Ying on the bed and kissed him. Only
when Wei Ying was left breathless, Lan Zhan pulled away and gave Wei Ying a very tight hug,
squeezing him. When Wei Ying let out a chuckle, Lan Zhan then relaxed a little and burried his
head in Wei Ying's neck while lying on him.

Wei Ying smiled. He found Lan Zhan cute beyond words. He love this man full of charms. "Lan
Zhan, I only asked for my morning kiss and a hug, i didn't ask you to get hard..."

"I can't help it" Lan Zhan said, his mouth extending to Wei Ying's neck to leave more marks.

"Ahh... Lan Zhan, it's only morning... We still need to... mmm... travel..." Wei Ying said, his cock
rising up.

After Wei Ying's countless nagging that they needed to set off, Lan Zhan settled by jerking off by
rubbing their dicks together, to Wei Ying's relief.

"Wei Ying... last night... i don't know why i said no but... trust me, i... i love you..." Lan Zhan
mumbled, his ears red.

Wei Ying giggled to himself and said "Mn! I believe you!" 'Looks like Lan Zhan doesn't remember
everything hehe'

"WanYin, you're here." Lan XiChen welcomed Jiang Cheng with a wide smile.

Jiang Cheng was weak to Lan XiChen's smile. He thought that it was very charming. His face had
a shade of pink and he greeted "Lan... Huan, thanks for inviting me"

"Why are you still so shy?" Lan XiChen laughed. "Let's go" Lan XiChen said as he placed his
hand on Jiang Cheng's back, lightly pushing him forward.
Jiang Cheng flinched at the touch. Everything Lan XiChen did or said, for some reason, made
Jiang Cheng's face heat up.

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli reached Lanling Jin Sect yesterday and met Lan XiChen who
happened to be there. Lan XiChen invited Jiang Cheng to go on a night hunt today which Jiang
Cheng readily agreed.

Whereas, Jin ZiXuan who had a tiny crush on Jiang Yanli since they met when they were younger
put on a strong front and offered to show her around the area, which Jiang Yanli shyly agreed to.

On Wei Ying and Lan Zhan's way to the next town, Wei Ying was jumping about like usual.
What's different from the other times is that Wei Ying would occasionally randomly grab Lan
Zhan's hands, kiss him on the cheek, pounce on him or request for a piggyback ride.

Lan Zhan was a little flustered whenever Wei Ying suddenly did something affectionate, but totally
welcomed it and enjoyed it. When they stopped for a break, Lan Zhan even took the intiative and
pinned Wei Ying to the tree.

In an attempt to make Lan Zhan jealous, Wei Ying teased "Lan Zhan~ did you know my first kiss
was under a tree?"

Lan Zhan froze and tightened his grip around Wei Ying's wrist. "Who and when?!" Lan Zhan
growled.

Wei Ying smiled a little seeing Lan Zhan being jealous. "At WaXi town!"

"That was your first kiss?" Lan Zhan asked, his voice a little louder than usual, with a hint of
surprise.

"Why do you sound as if you know... hold on... Lan Zhan, don't tell me that was you?!?!" Wei
Ying asked in a shock.

Lan Zhan looked sideways. He didn't realise that he exposed himself. "I... Sorry... I shouldn't have
done that without your permission..."

"Ah, what a waste! I thought it was a maiden who had a crush on me!" Wei Ying sighed.

"A waste? Am I not good enough?" Lan Zhan said angrily, his eyes filled with jealousy, his hands
gripping Wei Ying tighter.

"Of course you're good!" Wei Ying exclaimed, shocked at Lan Zhan's sudden anger. "I just didn't
expect it!"

"So you prefer a maiden?" Lan Zhan asked.

"Of course not! You're the best, how could I enjoy someone else's lips?" Wei Ying said before
pulling Lan Zhan in for another deep kiss.

Panting, Wei Ying managed to utter "Lan Zhan, I'm glad my first kiss went to you."

Lan Zhan was happy to hear that as he kissed Wei Ying more fiercely. There has been something
on Lan Zhan's mind. Wei Ying said last night that he made Lan Zhan drunk to avoid doing it.

"Wei Ying, could it be... you don't want to do it with me?" Lan Zhan said, feeling a little upset.
"It's not like that! I just... just..." Wei Ying stammered and after some time, he blurted out "I'm
scared cause you're so big!"

Lan Zhan's ear turned pink at Wei Ying's compliment. "Wei Ying, I'll be gentle alright?"
 Travel 2

Wei Ying hesitated for moments. After Lan Zhan's continuous confirmation of going slowly and
being gentle, Wei Ying then slowly nodded his head "Be very gentle..."

Lan Zhan immediately proceeded to untie Wei Ying's belt, loosening his robes. Wei Ying got a
shock. "Lan Zhan?! Here?! Won't you wait till we get to the next town? What if people pass by?"

"There's no one." Lan Zhan said, then helped himself to Wei Ying's neck, leaving even more marks
at wherever wasn't covered yet.

"Nghhh... but still... not here..." Wei Ying said while moaning.

"But you're excited" Lan Zhan said, his hand rubbing Wei Ying's cock.

After some time, Lan Zhan while sucking, licking and biting Wei Ying's body, had one hand
stroking Wei Ying's cock and one finger up Wei Ying's hole after a little bit of protests. Wei Ying
was just moaning as pleasure filled him. He couldn't think and felt a little pain when Lan Zhan
inserted all 3 of his fingers. He grabbed both of Lan Zhan's shoulders, asking for a kiss.

Wei Ying soon came as he was being kissed, stroked and fingered. Being fingered by Lan Zhan felt
better than he thought.

Wei Ying felt a little drowsy but the look of him drooling, cum on his body and his wet pink hole
made Lan Zhan excited beyond words. He kissed Wei Ying and fingered him a last time before
readying his dick in front of Wei Ying's hole.

Wei Ying exclaimed in a shock "Against the tree?! Shouldn't I lie down or something?"

Lan Zhan picked Wei Ying up and wrapped Wei Ying's legs around himself then sat down. "This
should be fine" Lan Zhan said as he spread Wei Ying's hole and slowly entered Wei Ying.

"Mmnn Ahhhh Lan Zhan, you're Mmnn too big Nghh" Wei Ying moaned, turning Lan Zhan on as
Lan Zhan slammed Wei Ying's hips down towards his own.

"Ahhhh! That hurts!" Wei Ying screamed. "You promised to be gentle!" Wei Ying pouted.

"Sorry" Lan Zhan whispered as he couldn't control himself. "Wei Ying, do you feel good?" Lan
Zhan said as he moved a little. He himself was very pleasured by Wei Ying's tight hole squeezing
around him and wanted to thrust so badly but he didn't want Wei Ying to feel pain.

Wei Ying had the time to adjust a little and replied "Mnnn a little weird but Nghh, Good...you're
huge, Lan Zhan... Did you just get bigger?"

Hearing what Wei Ying said, Lan Zhan grabbed Wei Ying's butt cheeks and started moving Wei
Ying up and down his dick.

"Nghh... haa..." Lan Zhan moaned softly while Wei Ying was literally screaming away. "Ahhh Lan
Zhan! No... There! Ouch... Arghh! Mmnn! Ahhh! I... Nghh Mmnn"

This turned Lan Zhan on as he thrusted faster, harder and deeper in Wei Ying, making Wei Ying
come a second time.

"Ngh, Feels good" Lan Zhan moaned before taking himself out of Wei Ying then cumming all over
Wei Ying's butt.

Wei Ying blushed. Lan Zhan's cum all over his butt made it feel slippery whenever his butt cheeks
rubbed together, making him turned on and his hole twitch.

Lan Zhan saw Wei Ying's dick slowly standing up again. Lan Zhan then laid Wei Ying down and
kissed Wei Ying.

Wei Ying was enjoying his kiss with Lan Zhan when suddenly, he was being thrusted into. "Ahhh!
Again?!" He shouted as he moaned.

Lan Zhan replied with "You got hard" while thrusting at a quicker pace.

This time, as Lan Zhan thrusted into Wei Ying, other than moans and pants, there were also wet
squelching sounds which turned the both of them on.

Wei Ying moaned as Lan Zhan thrusted harder and deeper. Wei Ying's hole was starting to feel
sore. After all, it was his first time. He felt tired as he clung onto Lan Zhan.

This cute action however, made Lan Zhan turned on as he grew bigger in Wei Ying. Wei Ying
didn't know that it was even possible for Lan Zhan to grow bigger in him and moaned loudly.

Lan Zhan felt like he was about to cum but didn't want it to end yet, so with one deep thrust, he
stayed there and leaned forward to kiss Wei Ying.

Wei Ying was surprised by Lan Zhan's sudden halt. His mind was in a daze, feeling more pleasure
than pain. Lan Zhan kissed Wei Ying while enjoying Wei Ying's hole, which was tightly wrapped
around Lan Zhan's dick and twitching furiously. It was as if it was sucking onto his dick.

When Lan Zhan couldn't hold back anymore, he started thrusting again and the sudden thrust made
Wei Ying cum.

Wei Ying couldn't take it anymore and felt too tired as he fell asleep. Lan Zhan took his dick out
and came over Wei Ying's body.

Seeing Wei Ying asleep, Lan Zhan kissed Wei Ying on his lips, then cleaned the both of them up.

By the time Wei Ying got up, he was being carried bridal style by Lan Zhan. "Lan Zhan! Let me
down!" Wei Ying immediately fussed about. "I told you before, a man shouldn't be carried bridal
style!"

After much fussing, Lan Zhan let Wei Ying down, only for Wei Ying to stumble as his ass was
sore. Wei Ying immediately blushed remembering what happened and complained "It was my first
time! How could you go two rounds!"

Lan Zhan chuckled to himself as he picked up Wei Ying princess style again, despite Wei Ying's
protest. Just like that, they enjoyed their alone time while travelling to the next town, Wei Lan
Town.
 Wei Lan Town

Reaching Wei Lan Town, it was still afternoon, but Wei Ying and Lan Zhan decided to check in an
inn before exploring the town the next day. After all, they had been in the mountains for about a
week.

In their room, Wei Ying joked around. "Lan Zhan, isn't this town cool? It's name is Wei Lan! It's a
combination of our surnames! Say, we can name our child Wei Lan. Hahaha. Hold on, technically
you would be the father so how about Lan Wei!"

Lan Zhan found Wei Ying silly but agreed "Mn!" If they ever had or could have a kid... Lan Zhan
felt that Lan Wei would be nice.

During the one week they travelled, they had done it quite a few times and Wei Ying felt more
pleasure than pain. In fact, he started wanting Lan Zhan more often.

Right now, he felt the sudden urge to become one with Lan Zhan. "Lan Zhan..." Wei Ying
seductively said as he moved closer to Lan Zhan.

Wei Ying crouched down and whispered in Lan Zhan's ears "How about we make a kid now"
while placing his hand on Lan Zhan's shoulders.

Lan Zhan's ear turned pink. He wanted to make love right now but he thought that Wei Ying was
joking. "Stop teasing me. It's still afternoon."

"Why can't we do it in the afternoon?" Wei Ying pouted as he sat on Lan Zhan's lap, who was
sitting by the table, trying to meditate.

Wei Ying pecked on Lan Zhan's lips, trying to stick his tongue in for his favourite kisses even with
Lan Zhan's eyes closed as he tried his best to focus on meditation. Wei Ying successfully got Lan
Zhan's attention as he felt Lan Zhan's dick hardening after squirming around in his lap, rubbing his
ass against Lan Zhan's groin.

Lan Zhan stood up all of a sudden, carrying Wei Ying to the bed and laid him down. They had
been doing it in the mountains and when the both of them saw the bed, they couldn't help but feel
the urge to do it.

Especially since they had not done it for 2 days as they got closer to town area and people would
occassionally walk past.

Wei Ying teased Lan Zhan "Lan Zhan, you're so naughty." Lan Zhan replied "You provoked me
first" before kissing Wei Ying. Lan Zhan tried to meditate to not think of such things but... who
knew Wei Ying would provoke him first.

Lan Zhan himself wanted to push Wei Ying down when he saw the bed. This was the first time
Wei Ying initiated it, so Lan Zhan was very happy and excited.

"Mmnn Lan Zhan, quick" Wei Ying said, impatiently tugging on Lan Zhan's robes. Lan Zhan was
a little shy with Wei Ying's sudden straightforwardness but complied. He took off Wei Ying's
robes and his own, and started leaving his marks on Wei Ying.

Lan Zhan love leaving his marks on his precious Wei Ying. He love hearing Wei Ying moan and
love seeing his mark on Wei Ying. Whether they did it or not, Lan Zhan would not fail to leave
marks on Wei Ying everyday.

Wei Ying liked it too. It felt good and it reminded him that he belonged to Lan Zhan. In fact if
possible, Wei Ying hoped that hickeys were permanent... though his whole body would be red with
hickeys.

Wei Ying grabbed Lan Zhan's face, urging Lan Zhan to kiss him, which Lan Zhan gladly did. Both
of them were a little hasty and kissed fiercely, intensely.

While kissing, Lan Zhan had already made his way to Wei Ying's hole and after some time, placed
3 fingers inside Wei Ying. Wei Ying felt like he was going to cum soon. "Lan Zhan, put it in..."
Wei Ying shyly said. Lan Zhan continued thrusting with his fingers, making Wei Ying beg Lan
Zhan. "Nghh, Lan Zhan... please... quick, Mmnn... put it in"

Lan Zhan waited till he saw Wei Ying on the verge of cumming before entering Wei Ying and
after a few thrusts, Wei Ying came first.

Lan Zhan kissed Wei Ying while stroking Wei Ying's sensitive cock as he just came. "Nghh! No..."
Wei Ying moaned as he couldn't help but became hard again.

Lan Zhan noticed that whenever he left hickeys on Wei Ying, Wei Ying would tighten around him.

After continuous thrusts, Lan Zhan and Wei Ying came at the same time. Wei Ying was satisfied,
after feeling Lan Zhan in him. Lan Zhan however, after letting Wei Ying catch his breath, went
straight for round 2.

Wei Ying would often fall asleep after round 2. Lan Zhan wanted more but he decided not to go
overboard. After all, they had a long way to go. He cleaned Wei Ying and himself up then headed
to grab some dinner, with some wine for Wei Ying.

After a little coaxing, Lan Zhan managed to wake Wei Ying up for dinner. After dinner, they fell
asleep in each other's embrace just like they had been for the past week.

The next day, after Lan Zhan pampered Wei Ying with his morning kiss and hug, Wei Ying finally
woke up and they set off to explore Wei Lan Town.

As usual, Wei Ying was jumping around. He started flirting with a stall owner. Lan Zhan was
jealous again. However, before Lan Zhan could pull Wei Ying away, a group of men came.

The one that seemed to be their leader was about to push Wei Ying but Wei Ying dodged, making
the leader stumble forward, inviting laughs from the bystanders.

The leader felt embarrassed and got angry, so he flipped the stall cart. The rest followed and started
stomping on the hairpins which the stall owner was selling.

Wei Ying felt bad and tried stopping them. The leader withdrew his sword and lunged forward to
attack Wei Ying.

Lan Zhan was about to protect Wei Ying when Wei Ying unleased SuiBian and shielded himself.
Wei Ying's swordsmanship was everything to boast about.

The duel lasted for sometime. The leader himself wasn't too bad but Wei Ying was better. It ended
with the leader falling on his knees, making him
feel more humiliated.
The others quickly helped the leader up and ran away. While Wei Ying helped the stall owner to
clear up the mess, he asked who they were.

The stall owner replied "Them wrecking things here is quite common. They are the sect here, Ling
Sect. The one you fought is the Sect Leader, so you should be careful. He is brutal and can't stand
being humiliated. It's best if you leave soon."

Wei Ying didn't even have to think about it. How could he let them continue to bully the villagers?
"It's a common thing for them to wreck things here?"
 Wei Lan Town 2

Another stall owner replied "Yea. But... even though he bully us, he is actually trying to interact
with us. He doesn't get violent till someone humiliates him."

Seeing others nod their heads, Wei Ying asked "What do you mean?"

The stall owner replied, "His parents were very kind and loving towards him. You could say that
he is the most spoiled person we ever seen. After his parents passed away, he shook off his
responsibilities as a sect leader, and often went about fooling around. He looks down on people
and demands them to serve him. If he were to be humiliated... like before..."

"That time was bad. He was so angry. He was humiliated outside, and there was a huge crowd but
he couldn't do anything. Afterwards he brought his whole sect to hunt that person down and gosh,
that person was left crippled!"

"He never touched us if we didn't embarrass him or try to teach him."

"Yea, so you should be careful and leave soon. Their sect is quite big. Besides, i'm sure he is very
angry as you humiliated him right in front of the person he likes. See that lady having her meal
there? He has been courting her for a few years!"

After hearing these, Wei Ying thanked them and walked away with Lan Zhan. "Looks like he
doesn't hurt the villagers and they are used to it. Should we get involved?"

"Wait and see" Lan Zhan replied, while grabbing Wei Ying's hand. Wei Ying got flustered then
decided to tease Lan Zhan. "Lan Zhan, you're so daring"

"Mn" Lan Zhan replied which only made Wei Ying speechless. Even though some people gave
them looks of disgust, some girls squealed and some whispered while pointing towards them, Wei
Ying was happily jumping about as he liked that Lan Zhan held his hand in front of everyone.

Wei Ying and Lan Zhan headed to a restaurant nearby. As they were about to enter, the people
from Ling Sect came out. The leader gave Wei Ying a hateful glare and spit towards his foot,
which Wei Ying avoided.

The leader grumbled "Just you wait and see." before walking away. As Wei Ying was feeling
happy and very hungry, he decided to ignore the leader and let him off.

When they settled down, Lan Zhan ordered many spicy dishes and Wei Ying was very excited,
finally able to eat spicy food.

During the meal, Lan Zhan scooped the spicy ones for Wei Ying and noted which dishes he liked
more. Wei Ying saw that Lan Zhan gave him all the spicy food and decided to scoop some for him
too.

However, Lan Zhan looked at it without eating. "Lan Zhan, you're not eating what I scooped for
you?" Wei Ying pouted.

Seeing Wei Ying's face, Lan Zhan decided to give in and take a bite. He hesitated a little when he
brought his chopsticks closer to him as the spicy smell had already attacked his nostrils. Closing
his eyes, he took a bite.
Wei Ying looked at Lan Zhan who kept his eyes shut. He thought '??? Why is Lan Zhan not
opening his eyes?' Then he saw Lan Zhan's fist clenched and trembling, his face turning red.

When Lan Zhan opened his eyes, it was a little bloodshot. He immediately grabbed his cup and
gulped down his tea. As it wasn't enough, he drank Wei Ying's tea too. As it still wasn't enough, he
hurriedly poured more tea into both cups and gulped them down.

Wei Ying who was stunned started laughing. This was the first time he saw Lan Zhan acting so...
ungracefully... at the dinner table. "Lan Zhan! You can't take spicy? That was one of the least spicy
dishes! Hahaha"

Lan Zhan felt a little embarrassed and said "No talking when eating"

However, Wei Ying couldn't control himself and continued laughing. He only stopped when Lan
Zhan grabbed onto his hand while continuing to eat.

Wei Ying smirked and teased "Lan Zhan, you didn't have to order so many spicy dishes just for
me! Besides, it isn't good table manners to use one hand to eat"

Lan Zhan grabbed more spicy food and placed it on Wei Ying's plate. As he couldn't think of what
to say, he decided to keep quiet. Wei Ying knew that Lan Zhan was speechless and chuckled to
himself.

After their meal, Wei Ying sighed in contentment as he felt full eating all the spicy dished alone.
He pecked Lan Zhan on the lips and grinned "Thanks for the meal."

Lan Zhan replied with a slight smile then grabbed Wei Ying's hand and started walking back to the
inn.

"Ahh! Lan Zhan! Wait! I think I drank too much tea and wine! I'll use the bathroom, wait here, i'll
be quick!" Wei Ying said as he hurriedly turned around.

LWJ: "I'll go with..."

"No need! It's just round the corner!" Wei Ying shouted as he ran back to the restaurant.

Wei Ying felt relieved once again, coming out of the restaurant. However, as he was about to walk
away, he was stopped. There was a huge crowd of people. He saw the Ling Sect Leader stepping
forward.

"What do you want?" Wei Ying said, frowning at him impatiently. Night time was his special,
quiet, peaceful time with Lan Zhan.

"I told you to watch out" Ling Sect Leader said as he gave a signal and everyone from the Ling
Sect attacked.

Some of them weren't too bad, like Ling Sect Leader, however they still weren't Wei Ying's match.
Wei Ying could probably handle 30 of them but with the whole Ling Sect with over 50 people
coming at him at once, he was having a little trouble coping.

All of a sudden, he was blacked out as the leader stunned him with a taser. "Hurry and drag him to
the forest!" Ling Sect Leader commanded.

This had attracted a mini crowd but everyone was too afraid to stop him. After all, the Ling Sect
was technically in charge of Wei Lan Town and it wasn't a good idea to anger Ling Sect Leader.
Meanwhile, Lan Zhan was still waiting, wondering why Wei Ying was taking such a long time.

***NOTES***
Let's assume they had a taser back then.
 Ambush

After some time, Lan Zhan found it weird that Wei Ying hadn't returned. 'Is he playing around
again?' Lan Zhan thought as he made his way back to the restaurant.

After looking in the restaurant, Lan Zhan couldn't find Wei Ying. Just then, the waiter beckoned
him to one side and whispered to him about what he saw.

Lan Zhan immediately clenched his fist around BiChen and ran out of the restaurant, towards the
direction Wei Ying was taken away in.

***

"Ahh!" Wei Ying shouted as a bucket of cold water was thrown on his face. Wei Ying woke up to
see himself tied up with ropes and the leader grinning while holding two threatening looking whip.

"Look who fell in my hands" The leader smirked as he whipped the ground. His disciples laughed
with him.

The leader then went forward and whipped Wei Ying, making Wei Ying flinch. Having taken hits
from ZiDian since young, Wei Ying the knew that this
whip was also a powerful magical tool, though not as powerful as ZiDian.

"How was that? Hurts right?" The leader smirked, while passing both whips to two of his
subordinates. The subordinates took it and stood in front and behind Wei Ying and started
whipping him.

"I'll give you 400 hits before I'm satisfied. Ahh, if you can even last that long" The leader said,
grinning from ear to ear.

***

Lan Zhan had been running around for quite some time in the forest but the forest was too big. As
he ran further into the forest, he could hear Wei Ying screaming.

Lan Zhan ran the fastest he ever did. He arrived to see Wei Ying panting, his face pale, sweat
dripping off his face and blood dripping to the ground.

"Wei Ying!" Lan Zhan shouted in shock. Lan Zhan could feel anger rising in him.

The leader ordered them to stop and unsheathed his sword, placing it against Wei Ying's neck.
"Hah, look who's here! A hero trying to save the day?"

Seeing his sword against Wei Ying's neck, Lan Zhan calmed down a little and said "Release him."

"Are you stupid? Why would I? Unless... you take his spot?" The leader grinned.

"Don't" Wei Ying said weakly. Seeing Wei Ying like this made Lan Zhan feel helpless, as if
someone was clenching his heart. "I will" Lan Zhan replied.

The disciples then tied up Lan Zhan like how Wei Ying was, before awaiting their leader's order.
A disciple hurried to their leader's side and whispered in his ear.

"Ling Sect Leader, he is Lan Zhan from Gusu Lan Sect. He is famous for looking down on
others." The disciple had taken lessons in Gusu before.

Hearing this, the leader immediately turned his attention to Lan Zhan. "I planned to whip him 400
times. There is still 50 left, prepare yourself."

"Don't... Lan Zhan" Wei Ying mumbled.

"It's fine" Lan Zhan replied, giving Wei Ying a reassuring look.

"No... Stop... " Wei Ying said, trying to stop them but they started whipping Lan Zhan.

Instead of whipping Lan Zhan's front and back like how they whipped Wei Ying, the leader
ordered them to whip Lan Zhan's legs.

Wei Ying was so agitated he spat out blood, while struggling to break free. Every single hit hurt
but seeing Wei Ying's worried face, Lan Zhan bit his lips and clenched his fist, refusing to make
any sounds.

By the time it reached the 50th count, Lan Zhan had groaned quite a bit and felt his legs go numb.
Wei Ying had tears streaming down his face, seeing Lan Zhan's white robe stained red.

The leader, feeling satisfied, then left with his men. The moment the both of them were let down,
Wei Ying immediately scrambled to Lan Zhan's side.

"Lan Zhan..." Wei Ying said as he sobbed. He didn't want to drag Lan Zhan into this. He could
have taken the hits. He didn't want to see Lan Zhan hurt. He felt bad and pain from seeing Lan
Zhan in such condition.

Lan Zhan reached his hands out to hug Wei Ying, trying to assure Wei Ying that he was fine. "Can
you stand?" Wei Ying asked. He himself couldn't stand properly but he tried helping Lan Zhan up.

Lan Zhan stumbled forward involuntarily. He clenched his fist. He didn't want Wei Ying to see
him like that.

Lan Zhan knew Wei Ying would feel bad and didn't want to show that he was injured.

Seeing this, Wei Ying indeed felt bad. Wei Ying scolded himself in his mind. 'Damn, how dare
they do this to Lan Zhan! This is all my fault... How could I drag Lan Zhan into this and make him
get injured'

Wei Ying knelt in front of Lan Zhan. "I'll carry you" Wei Ying said, reaching his hands behind to
support Lan Zhan.

Lan Zhan immediately said "No. You're injured." Wei Ying was injured too. Lan Zhan definitely
didn't want Wei Ying's injury to worsen.

"I'm not leaving you here. Just until we reach the city. I'll get help there." Wei Ying pleaded, trying
to convince Lan Zhan.

Lan Zhan refused. "It's my fault. Please." Wei Ying said as his back started trembling, trying to
control himself not to cry.

Never had Wei Ying made someone get injured for him. He had never faced this type of situation
and hence, felt very guilty. Especially when the one injured was his lover, he felt guilt plus pain.

Lan Zhan didn't know what to do. He didn't want to worsen Wei Ying's injury yet he didn't want
Wei Ying to cry or feel guilty. However, as he really couldn't walk, he hesitantly got on Wei Ying's
back.

With much effort, Wei Ying stood up. Wei Ying stood there for a while, trying to make sure he got
his balance. Then with each careful step that took quite a lot of effort, they slowly made their way
out of the forest.

Halfway through, Lan Zhan couldn't bear seeing Wei Ying like this. "Put me down."

WWX: "No."

LWJ: "I can walk now."

WWX: "You shouldn't."

Wei Ying didn't give Lan Zhan space for negotiation and carried him back to the inn.
 Medicine

After placing Lan Zhan on the bed, Wei Ying told him that he will be finding a doctor and
instructed Lan Zhan to stay on the bed.

Lan Zhan didn't want to see Wei Ying running about but before he could do or say anything, Wei
Ying had already dashed out. Lan Zhan's legs didn't allow him to chase after Wei Ying either.

Wei Ying ran about for an hour. All the shops were already closed. He shouted for doctors but
didn't receive any reply. The sweat produced from running about seeped into his wounds, making
it more painful.

As he grabbed his chest, he felt the scented medicinal pouch. He gasped and scolded himself for
forgetting and immediately ran back to the inn.

***

While waiting for Wei Ying to come back, Lan Zhan felt sleepy. His legs still felt numb. It was
also way over 9pm. Unknowingly, Lan Zhan fell asleep.

When Wei Ying came back, he saw Lan Zhan sleeping. He decided not to wake Lan Zhan up and
slowly, carefully rolled up his pants.

Wei Ying felt even more guilt after seeing the wounds. He cleaned the wound with a wet towel and
with slightly trembling hands, he took part of the medicinal herbs and rubbed it on Lan Zhan's right
leg.

Lan Zhan's leg flinched a little but he didn't wake up. Wei Ying then continued, using a handful of
medicinal herbs and rubbed it on Lan Zhan's left leg.

Lan Zhan groaned and woke up. The numbness didn't allow him to feel pain but as the medicine
was highly effective, he started feeling stinging pains.

Lan Zhan saw Wei Ying rubbing his legs and tried sitting up. "What are you doing?"

Wei Ying explained while carefully rubbing the herbs on every corner of the wound. "It's like this.
I couldn't find a doctor then I remembered this medicinal pouch. Take these. These can help your
blood to circulate better!"

Wei Ying got up to take some water for Lan Zhan but stumbled a little. Lan Zhan got worried
"What about you?"

Wei Ying replied "I'm fine" while bringing the water over.

After eating the medicine, Lan Zhan saw Wei Ying touching his chest. He then reached over and
touched Wei Ying's chest.

"Ow! Lan Zhan!" Wei Ying shouted in pain.

Lan Zhan frowned. "Put the medicine now."

"Err... I'll do it in a while! You rest first." Wei Ying said, trying to escape.

Lan Zhan reached for the medicinal pouch and grabbed it before Wei Ying did. There were no
more external medicine herbs. Which could only mean...

"Wei Ying! Why did you use all the herbs on me?" Lan Zhan said. His emotions was a mix of
disbelief, guilt, worry and anger.

"It's fine, there wasn't much left anyways. Yours are more serious. Especially your legs..." Wei
Ying said, his words containing a hint of guilt.

"Wei Ying! Yours are more serious!" Lan Zhan exclaimed.

"... Don't worry. When I was young I often got injured. This isn't too bad. I'll get medicine
tomorrow!" Wei Ying said smiling, while climbing under the covers, beside Lan Zhan.

"You..." Before Lan Zhan could say anything else, Wei Ying kissed him.

Wei Ying held Lan Zhan's hand and looked into his eyes, tears welling in his own. "Sorry, Lan
Zhan, sorry for dragging you into this... I'm sorry..."

Lan Zhan pulled Wei Ying into a hug. "If something like that happens again, I would have done
the same. But I would prefer if you left some medicine for yourself."

Wei Ying's tears flowed down as he buried his face in Lan Zhan's chest. He was so grateful to have
Lan Zhan. It was the best thing that ever happened to him.

"I love you, Lan Zhan." Wei Ying whispered after his sobs died down.

"I love you too, Wei Ying." Lan Zhan replied, stroking Wei Ying's back.

Lan Zhan then took Wei Ying's robes off. Wei Ying blushed at this sudden motion and said "Not
today, you're injured"

Lan Zhan didn't have that intention. He was just checking on Wei Ying's wounds. He took the wet
cloth and rinsed it in the basin Wei Ying used for him by the bedside, then cleaned Wei Ying's
body.

Wei Ying felt a little embarrassed that he misunderstood Lan Zhan. "Tss" Wei Ying hissed as Lan
Zhan rubbed the cloth over his wounds.
 Medicine 2

Lan Zhan woke up at 5am as usual. Seeing Wei Ying sleeping soundly, Lan Zhan smiled. Lan
Zhan got up and limped his way out.

"Young master, you're injured! Why aren't you resting?" The inn owner asked out of concern.

"Where can I purchase medicine?" Lan Zhan asked.

"Ah! I'll get someone to get it for you! Please go back and rest." The kind inn owner replied and
immediately asked someone to purchase the medicine needed.

"Thank you." Lan Zhan bowed politely. He then limped his way back to the inn.

After a while, there were knocks on the door and Lan Zhan took the medicine and thanked the
person. Lan Zhan then headed to Wei Ying and opened up his robes.

Lan Zhan felt upset worried and angry upon seeing the many open wounds. He scolded himself for
not following Wei Ying to the restaurant, for not finding Wei Ying earlier. He carefully wiped Wei
Ying's body, then applied the medicine on the front.

Wei Ying woke up from the stinging pain. He had a shocked when he realised that his robes were
opened up. He blushed whenever Lan Zhan rubbed the medicine on his body.

"Morning, Lan Zhan. Where did you get the medicine from? You didn't walk out right? You're still
injured. You shouldn't push yourself" Wei Ying rambled out of concern.

"The inn owner got it for me" Lan Zhan replied. "Turn over"

"I'll help you apply yours later" Wei Ying said while obediently turning, lying on his front.

Lan Zhan took Wei Ying's robes off to apply the medicine properly. Wei Ying blushed and felt
embarrassed. "I'll do it myself"

"You can't see behind" Lan Zhan replied, while applying the medicine. Lan Zhan was gentle as he
didn't want to hurt Wei Ying but Wei Ying's back was sensitive.

Wei Ying started trembling. "What's wrong?" Lan Zhan asked. He had been very gentle. "Is it very
pain?"

"It's very... ticklish" Wei Ying replied as he turned his head to face Lan Zhan, his face flushed.

Lan Zhan was shocked. Wei Ying looked so... sexy... Lan Zhan couldn't think and kissed Wei
Ying. Wei Ying who was already turned on by Lan Zhan's touch, kissed him back.

When they finally broke apart, Lan Zhan calmed down a little. "Lan Zhan... can we do it?" Wei
Ying asked. "Finish applying the medicine first." Lan Zhan replied, grabbing the medicine once
again.

"I'll sweat so we can apply it later..." Wei Ying said, reaching to kiss Lan Zhan. "Lie down, your
legs are injured." Wei Ying said.

After Wei Ying's persistence, Lan Zhan gave in. Lying on top of Lan Zhan, Wei Ying kissed Lan
Zhan while removing his robes. In no time, Lan Zhan became hard. Wei Ying positioned himself
above Lan Zhan's dick, feeling nervous.

He had never done it without being fingered before. Lan Zhan sat up wanting to prepare Wei Ying
but Wei Ying pushed Lan Zhan down. "Just stay still, Lan Zhan."

Wei Ying then spreaded his butt cheeks and slowly placed the tip of Lan Zhan's dick in his hole.

"Nghhh, you're too big Lan Zhan... it won't fit..." Wei Ying said, trying his best. Lan Zhan sat up
and kissed Wei Ying. He then left hickeys on Wei Ying's neck, which made Wei Ying's hole
twitch.

Wei Ying forced himself down Lan Zhan's dick and it went a little deeper. "Lan Zhan... help me...
push me down" Wei Ying shyly said.

Giving Wei Ying a kiss, Lan Zhan slammed Wei Ying down against him. "AHHH!" Wei Ying
screamed. Wei Ying trembled and stayed at his spot. "It hurts..." He whimpered and whined a little.

Wei Ying then pushed Lan Zhan down and kissed him. After his hole got used to Lan Zhan's size,
Wei Ying then got back up and started moving.

Wei Ying thrusted himself up and down slowly, then went faster and faster. "Nghh! Ahhh! Nghh!
Lan Zhan! Mnn.. Ahh!" Wei Ying moaned.

Lan Zhan couldn't help it. He sat up and placed his hands on Wei Ying's hips, thrusting Wei Ying
against him even faster.

With Lan Zhan's help, Wei Ying was thrusted into even faster and deeper. "Ahhh Lan Zhan!" Wei
Ying shouted as he released.

When Wei Ying came, he tightened his hole much to Lan Zhan's liking. Soon after, Lan Zhan took
himself out and came. Lan Zhan then grabbed the wet towel and immediately wiped the both of
them.

"Lan Zhan, that was good." Wei Ying said panting "I think I'll heal faster if we do it more often"

Lan Zhan gave Wei Ying a kiss and reminded him "Medicine." Wei Ying then nodded his head
"Alright alright" and turned his back to Lan Zhan, allowing Lan Zhan to apply the medicine.

After being bandaged, Wei Ying took the medicine and applied them on Lan Zhan's legs,
bandaging them up too.
 Change

"Lan Zhan, what should we do? The town's people are fine with it so should we interfere?" Wei
Ying asked while lying on Lan Zhan's chest.

Wei Ying was feeling tired after their happy time and he didn't want Lan Zhan to walk around yet.
Hence, they decided to rest in the inn for today.

"It's tricky" Lan Zhan replied, stroking Wei Ying's back.

"Mn. If it's to do with cultivation we'll solve it in a blink of an eye but this is simply his character.
He doesn't kill anyone so we shouldn't kill him either..." Wei Ying mumbled. He was falling asleep
as Lan Zhan's stroke was comforting.

The next day when they came out, there were a few who were concerned about them after hearing
what happened. The lady who Ling Sect Leader liked, called An An also came to find them.

***

Wei Ying and Lan Zhan decided to barge into Ling Sect's estate. Thanks to Wei Ying, about half
of them were still recuperating. With Lan Zhan by Wei Ying's side, handling the rest were easier
than said.

During the fight, the villagers had gathered outside. In no time, the only one left standing was Ling
Sect Leader.

When Wei Ying was about to stab Ling Sect Leader, An An ran forward and hugged Ling Sect
Leader. Wei Ying halt in surprise.

"Don't hurt him..." the lady pleaded "Ling Jun, I like you too, back then you said... you would
pester me for life. Aren't you going to continue doing so?"

Ling Sect Leader was shocked. He reached his hands out to hug An An but she was dragged away
by Wei Ying.

As An An was dragged away, she kept shouting "Don't hurt him! Ling Jun! Ling Jun!"

Lan Zhan stepped forward and placed BiChen near Ling Sect Leader's neck. To everyone's
surprise, Ling Sect Leader knelt down.

"I'm sorry! Please spare me!" Ling Sect Leader shouted. His eyes weren't filled with hatred but a
desire to live.

An An had finally spoke of her feelings towards Ling Sect Leader. Ling Sect Leader was
determined not to die here as he still wanted to live his life with An An.

Wei Ying smirked and let An An go then walked over to Lan Zhan and they made their way out.

Ling Sect Leader immediately ran over to An An and hugged her "I'll continue to pester you for
life!". An An smiled at his words.

Walking down the empty street as almost everyone gathered at Ling Sect Estate, Wei Ying
interlocked his hand with Lan Zhan's.
"Lan Zhan, love can really change a person huh" Wei Ying said, swinging their hands.

"Mn" Lan Zhan replied.

That evening, An An went to find them again to thank them. She liked Ling Sect Leader but didn't
accept his advances due to him not being able to accept humiliation and thinking that he's above
others. To her, that was his only flaw and the only thing which didn't allow her to accept him.

An An had planned this event out. If he had not changed, she wanted to leave this place, to start her
life again somewhere else. If he changed like he did, she wanted to stop wasting time and spend her
life with him.

Wei Ying and Lan Zhan were glad that it ended well.

They headed back to their inn to grab dinner. "Lan Zhan, will you drink with me?"

"Mn." Lan Zhan replied, making Wei Ying jump around happily and excitedly.

"Lan Zhan, have you changed because of me?" Wei Ying asked. Lan Zhan looked at him in the
eyes "Mn."

Wei Ying smiled to himself. Compared to the first time he met Lan Zhan, Lan Zhan now replied
and responded to almost everything Wei Ying said or did.

Wei Ying also saw Lan Zhan's rare rare smile, made Lan Zhan drink with him and go along with
his silliness. Wei Ying was proud of himself for being able to be by Lan Zhan's side and was
grateful Lan Zhan wanted him.

After finishing their dinner, Wei Ying had already chugged down one jar of wine. He then
excitedly offered Lan Zhan a cup.

Lan Zhan was a little hesitant knowing he wouldn't be clear of what he would be doing but he
already agreed to Wei Ying's request.

In one shot, he gulped down the wine. "Good, Lan Zhan! Nice! I'll drink too!" Wei Ying exclaimed
as he gulped down his too.

Wei Ying then looked at Lan Zhan excitedly. If filters were added, you would see his tail wagging
furiously.

When Lan Zhan woke up, Wei Ying immediately jumped towards him. "Lan Zhan! Who do you
love?"

"Wei Ying" Lan Zhan replied.

Wei Ying asked again "How do you feel towards Wei Ying?"

"I love Wei Ying" Lan Zhan declared. Wei Ying grinned happily. He wanted to hear Lan Zhan say
this four words.

WWX: "Lan Zhan"

LWJ: "Mn."

WWX: "Lan Zhan"

LWJ: "Mn."

WWX: "Lan Zhan"

LWJ: "Mn."

"Hehe Lan Zhan, I love you a lot." Wei Ying said, grabbing Lan Zhan's face.

"Mn" Lan Zhan replied, giving him a kiss. While kissing, Wei Ying led Lan Zhan to the bed. This
was his second aim, to have sex with a drunk Lan Zhan.

Previously, they didn't go that far. Hence, Wei Ying had been wondering what was it like doing it
with a drunk Lan Zhan.
 Wei Ying

"Lan Zhan, why do you love me?" Wei Ying asked while grabbing Lan Zhan's face, as he broke
away from the kiss.

"Because you're Wei Ying." Lan Zhan replied, with all seriousness.

Wei Ying gave his gentlest smile. "Lan Zhan, I love you because you're Lan Zhan too."

"Mn" Lan Zhan nodded his head, then opened up Wei Ying robes. Wei Ying pretended to be shy
"Lan Zhan~"

Drunk Lan Zhan left hickeys on Wei Ying and kissed Wei Ying. Wei Ying's hole twitched, feeling
empty. "Lan Zhan, aren't you going to finger me?"

Lan Zhan then stopped his kisses and looked at Wei Ying's hole. Wei Ying's dick was standing
tall, precum dripping all the way down to his hole, which was twitching.

Lan Zhan then took off his robes and placed his dick at the entrance. Wei Ying was shocked that
Lan Zhan wasn't going to prepare him first.

"Lan Zhan, I... AHHH! Oww..." Wei Ying screamed as he was interrupted by Lan Zhan who made
a sudden strong thrust.

Lan Zhan could feel Wei Ying's hole squeezing tightly around him. "Wei Ying" Lan Zhan called
out as he started moving. "Mnn Lan Zhan, Ahhh" Wei Ying moaned.

Lan Zhan was immensely turned on by Wei Ying's moans as he suddenly sped up, inviting louder
moans from Wei Ying.

"Nghhh! Lan Zhan!! Ahhh! Slow! Slower! Ahh! Nghhh!" Wei Ying shouted. Lan Zhan was
thrusting in and out deeply and quickly, pleasuring Wei Ying more than ever.

Very quickly, Wei Ying came. However, Lan Zhan still moved at the same speed, making Wei
Ying's hole twitch furiously as he felt sensitive.

Lan Zhan took his dick out and came at the entrance of Wei Ying's hole, making Wei Ying blush.
The feeling of Lan Zhan's cum on his butt turned him on as it was smooth and slippery.

Lan Zhan then sat up and carried Wei Ying above him. Wei Ying's hole was still sore, yet Lan
Zhan plunged Wei Ying down.

"Ahhhh!" Wei Ying shouted as Lan Zhan immediately thrusted Wei Ying up and down his dick.

"Wei Ying! Nghhh, Wei Ying!" Lan Zhan moaned, which also turned Wei Ying on.

Lan Zhan thrusted Wei Ying very quickly, and Wei Ying's weight pressing down made Lan Zhan's
dick reach deeper with every thrust.

Wei Ying started feeling drowsy as he leaned in for a kiss. Lan Zhan gave him a passionate kiss
without slowing down. When they both came, Wei Ying panted heavily, lying on the bed.

Lan Zhan reached for Wei Ying's body and started leaving his marks again. "Nghh" Wei Ying
moaned as Lan Zhan sucked his nipple.
Wei Ying grabbed Lan Zhan's hair as Lan Zhan sucked his neck, collarbone, nipple. Just as Lan
Zhan stopped sucking, Wei Ying was suddenly thrusted into.

"Nghh! Wait!! Lan Zhan!! Ahh!! Again?! Nghh!!!" Wei Ying exclaimed as Lan Zhan thrusted
deep and quick, just like before.

Lan Zhan took out his dick which made Wei Ying pout and think for a second 'Lan Zhan really
stopped?'

Wei Ying then felt himself get flipped over as he was entered once again. This was the first time
they used this position, making Wei Ying feel a little embarrassed.

Lan Zhan thrusted deep into Wei Ying as he left his marks on Wei Ying's back. Wei Ying's back
was sensitive and he curled his body as his hole twitched.

Lan Zhan stayed deep in Wei Ying. He like to feel Wei Ying's hole twitching around him. "Lan
Zhan... move please" Wei Ying said, wanting to cum.

However, Lan Zhan didn't move. He continued sucking Wei Ying's back. "Lan Zhan! Movee!!"
Wei Ying shouted.

Seeing that Lan Zhan still didn't move, Wei Ying begged "Lan Zhan!! I want to cum!! Quick thrust
your dick in me!!!"

Lan Zhan then suddenly brought his dick to the edge and thrusted deep into Wei Ying. "Ahhh!
Yess! There!! Lan Zhan! Ngh!!... Faster, faster!!"

Lan Zhan did as Wei Ying requested and Wei Ying came a third time. Lan Zhan thrusted a few
more times and released on Wei Ying's back.

Wei Ying collapsed on the bed. He was excited but he felt very tired. He could feel his hole a little
numb and knew that he probably wouldn't be able to walk the next day.

When Lan Zhan woke up, he was greeted by a messy scene. He then calmed himself to remember
what happened.

Lan Zhan then cleaned up the both of them. Sitting back on the bed, he stared at Wei Ying. Wei
Ying looked cute and charming, especially when he is sleeping.

Leaning forward, Lan Zhan placed a kiss on Wei Ying. Feeling Wei Ying's soft lips, Lan Zhan
couldn't help himself. In the end, he opened up Wei Ying's mouth and stuck his tongue in.

Wei Ying woke up feeling something invading his mouth. Opening his eyes, he saw his handsome
Lan Zhan kissing him.

"Morning Wei Ying" Lan Zhan said.

"Morning Lan Zhan" Wei Ying replied, with a huge smile on his face.

"Last night..." Lan Zhan started, but was interrupted by Wei Ying.

"Last night was great. Lan Zhan, you're so cute when you're drunk! We should drink more often!"
Wei Ying exclaimed, grinning.

Lan Zhan's face suddenly turned sterner. "Wei Ying! Me or drunk me?"
 Which me?

"Huh?" Wei Ying asked with a blank face.

"You... Do you prefer me or the drunk me?" Lan Zhan asked.

"... Hahaha! Lan Zhan! You're jealous of yourself?!" Xiao Zhan laughed after understanding what
Lan Zhan meant.

"Answer me" Lan Zhan said, serious.

"Both! I love both because they're all part of you! But... last night's sex was very good." Wei Ying
said, giving Lan Zhan a kiss.

Lan Zhan felt a little disappointed, like he lost to his drunk self. "I can do as well when I'm
sober..." Lan Zhan whispered.

Wei Ying was shocked and hugged Lan Zhan "Lan Zhan! Why don't you try?"

Lan Zhan thought about last night and hesitated a little "Wei Ying, are you sure?"

Wei Ying grinned "Mn! But only once!"

Hearing this, Lan Zhan immediately got into action. He fondled Wei Ying's dick while giving him
a deep kiss.

Lan Zhan prepared Wei Ying, just a little, before hurrying to put his dick in. Lan Zhan thrusted so
hard and deep that Wei Ying screamed in pain and pleasure.

Lan Zhan then started pounding Wei Ying hard. "Mnnn! Lan Zhan! Feels... Ahh! Good!" Wei
Ying moaned.

Lan Zhan remembered the drunk him going fast and deep and felt competitive. He then started
thrusting with all his strength as fast as he could.

As Lan Zhan sped up, Wei Ying's moans got louder too. Wei Ying came and felt very sensitive, but
Lan Zhan was still going hard and fast, with no intention of stopping.

"Lan... Zhan, wait... I... Nghhh... just came... Ahh... Ahh... Nghh... Slow down... Mnn a little..."
Wei Ying said, as he felt a weird but very pleasurable sensation.

"Lan Zhan... Ahhh... Kiss... Nghh... Kiss! Nghh Kiss me!" Wei Ying pleaded, hoping Lan Zhan
would slow down a little.

However, going at the same speed Lan Zhan reached forward to kiss Wei Ying, thrusting even
deeper. Lan Zhan had already known where Wei Ying felt sensitive at and targeted those spots.

Wei Ying got hard again as Lan Zhan thrusted into him while kissing him. After Wei Ying came
again, Lan Zhan thrusted a few times before cumming.

Wei Ying panted heavily, tired. Lan Zhan hovered over Wei Ying "Wei Ying, was it good?"

Wei Ying blushed. "Yes, good... Lan Zhan you're always good! But go easy on me alright? After
all you did me so hard last night..."
Lan Zhan felt competitive again. He flipped Wei Ying over and left marks on his back, at places
where the drunk him left and didn't left.

Wei Ying panicked a little remembering this position from last night, but relaxed a little as Lan
Zhan only left his marks. As Wei Ying's back was very sensitive, he was turned on again, but glad
that Lan Zhan couldn't see it.

Lan Zhan reached forward and pinched both of Wei Ying's nipples. "Nghhh!" Wei Ying moaned
loudly as he squirted precum on the bed.

Lan Zhan saw this and silently smiled. Rubbing his dick against Wei Ying's ass, Lan Zhan asked
"Wei Ying, the sober me haven't tried this position yet... Can I?"

Wei Ying blushed. However, his hole was twitching for Lan Zhan, especially after Lan Zhan
started rubbing his dick against his ass. "Yes.."

"Do you want it?" Lan Zhan asked.

"... I... Yes..." Wei Ying replied, embarrassed.

"Yes what?" Lan Zhan asked, making Wei Ying realise that Lan Zhan was teasing him.

"Lan Zhan! You're so mean!..." Wei Ying said. Seeing Lan Zhan with no intention of putting it in,
Wei Ying buried his face and said "Quick, Lan Zhan!"

"Quick what?" Lan Zhan asked, teasing Wei Ying again.

"Ahhh!!!" Wei Ying shouted in frustration, being turned on so badly and wanting to cum. "Quick
Lan Zhan, put your dick in! Now, please!"

Lan Zhan felt like he won over his drunk self as he immediately grabbed Wei Ying's hips and
thrusted deep. Wei Ying moaned as his dick shot out thick white liquid.

Lan Zhan went on and on, even baiting Wei Ying to try positions they never tried before. Lan Zhan
only stopped when Wei Ying was too tired and fell back asleep.

When Wei Ying woke up, it was already evening and he groaned. He glared at Lan Zhan who was
watching him, without a look of guiltiness at all for doing Wei Ying over and over again.

"Lan Zhan! Did you really have to do it 5 times?! Even if you wanted to compete with your drunk
self, you could have stopped at 4!" Wei Ying complained.

"Sorry" Lan Zhan said, giving Wei Ying a kiss. Wei Ying immediately pushed Lan Zhan away,
afraid that Lan Zhan was going to bait him again.

Wei Ying then tried standing up but stumbled and fell towards the floor. Lan Zhan immediately
caught him but received a glare from Wei Ying.

In the end, Wei Ying couldn't get up for 2 whole days but Lan Zhan was glad to spend every
moment of these 2 days with his Wei Ying.

Just like that, they spent their time travelling around from town to town, village to village, handling
mysterious cases, all kind of cases, while enjoying many romantic and pleasurable moments.
 Why?

While Wei Ying and Lan Zhan were travelling around, Xiao XingChen and Song Lan had found
the culprit.

Xiao XingChen had an idea who the culprit might be. The two of them chased after the culprit but
instead, was warmly welcomed.

"You're finally here, Xiao. Xing. Chen."

"Xue Yang, why are you doing this?" Xiao XingChen questioned.

"Ask that guy to leave us for a while." Xue Yang said, pointing to Song Lan.

Song Lan hesitated but Xiao XingChen nodded his head, reassuring Song Lan. Xiao XingChen
knew Xue Yang wouldn't hurt him.

Xue Yang grit his teeth at their silent interaction. The moment Song Lan left, Xue Yang used
hidden ropes to tie up Xiao XingChen's hands.

With his hands over his head, Xiao XingChen was tied and left hanging by the wall, just a few feet
above the ground.

Xue Yang then sat on his chair and started fiddling with his sword, JiangZai. XingChen spoke up
first. "Xue Yang, why did you do that to all the villagers. You really want to overthrow the bigger
sects?"

"That's not what I'm interested in. It's been a long time, Xing Ge. Must your first few questions be
related to those?" Xue Yang casually said.

"Those are important, Xue Yang. You can't hurt innocent people." XingChen said, with a serious
face.

"So i'm not important? You don't care about how i'm doing?" Xue Yang asked, feeling angry
inside.

"... That's not it. I care, but you shouldn't harm the villagers. They are innocent people. What are
you seeking for by doing that?" XingChen asked.

Xue Yang smirked, but he was boiling inside. "Innocent people, innocent people. All you care
about are innocent people! XingChen, do you still remember when we first met? I was acting as a
bully but you treated me well, unlike everyone else. After meeting you, everything changed.

You changed me. So why? Why? If you were going to change me, you should take responsibility!
You left me and I went back to my old ways and you try to interfere again? Do you know how lost
and upset I was when you left with that bastard Song Lan?" Xue Yang said with anger in his eyes.

"Xue Yang, don't be rude. I didn't leave you. You said you didn't want to go." Xiao XingChen
replied.

"Then shouldn't you have insisted on bringing me along? We were fine with how we were but Song
Lan just had to take you away. I said no but couldn't you have persuaded me more? Asked me
again? I replied you once and you just left! Don't you know I would change my answer if you
asked me again?

You just decided to leave me there with a note? Don't you know that if you left, I wouldn't have
anyone else to talk to? Anyone else to play with? To care for me? You abandoned me! Like my
parents did! Like everyone did!" Xue Yang rambled on angrily. He felt like he was on the verge of
exploding. He blurted out everything he had been keeping inside him.

"I'm sorry." Xiao XingChen said. At that time when Song Lan asked him to travel around as
roaming cultivators, he was too excited and neglected Xue Yang. There was another reason too.

After he left he kept regretting it and felt that he should have brought Xue Yang along but when he
went back to find Xue Yang, Xue Yang had left already. "Is it too late?" Xiao XingChen continued
"Let's go. The three of us together. I'll take responsibility of you."

A tear rolled down Xue Yang's cheek even though he was still smiling. "Do you know how much I
wanted to hear that 2 years ago? You had been there for me when I needed it but one day someone
appeared and you left with him. What about me?! How could you just left me there?!"

"From now on we'll be together. The three of us. Okay?" Xiao XingChen said in a pleading voice.
He disapproved of what Xue Yang did but if Xue Yang changed, he would be more than willing to
defend Xue Yang.

"The three of us?" Xue Yang said with a smirk. "No. Not three. Ah! Xiao XingChen, if I make you
into a ghost puppet, I can be with you all the time. You'll be mine only. Just like before."

"Xue Yang, why are you doing this? Can't the three of us get along together?" Xiao XingChen
asked.

"Get along with the one who stole you from me and left me alone?!" Xue Yang shouted. "Don't
you know why I am doing this? You're mine, Xing Ge. Since the day you reached your hand out to
me. I was about to make you mine when Song Lan ruined everything! Everything! Ruined our time
together! Ruined the chance of me and you living together happily!"

Xue Yang then continued with a dejected and hateful tone. "Did you ask what I'm seeking for?
YOU! I'm seeking for you! Look! You only return when i do this kind of stuff!"

Xiao XingChen raised his brows. "Xue Yang" Xiao XingChen called out affectionately. "I've
always thought you saw me as your big brother and admired me but... by any chance, do you
perhaps... love me?"

Xue Yang widened his eyes. He was silent for a while then he smirked. "Love? What is love?
Love is random feelings you get to make a child then abandon him? Love is an excuse to make use
of others? Love is when you get abandoned?"

"Xue Yang, my love for you is wanting to keep you by my side all the time. Wanting to see your
smile everyday, wanting to spoil you with the candies you love so much, wanting to do many
things with you including buying food and making meals together, sleeping in the same bed and
making out!" Xiao XingChen confessed.

"THEN WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME?" Xue Yang screamed. It was as if Xiao XingChen was
describing the way he felt, hence he thought that Xiao XingChen was making up excuses.

"I've always thought you admired me as a big brother! How can I do that to you? It's the first time I
felt this way. Everything you did made my heart beat faster, it's so hard to control myself! How
many times have I wished to pinned you down and do bad things to you? I can't even count!" Xiao
XingChen explained desperately, knowing Xue Yang didn't believe him.

"So you decided to just leave me?" Xue Yang asked, feeling all the hurt he did when Xiao
XingChen left him without a word.

"I would rather leave on good terms than let you hate me when you find out." Xiao XingChen said,
calming himself down.

"But what I hate the most is you leaving me..." Xue Yang said, his voice trailing off.

"So you love me?" Xiao XingChen asked.

"... I don't want to see you with that evil Song Lan." Xue Yang said softly, angry at the thought that
his Xing Ge and Song Lan were very close.

"So you love me?" Xiao XingChen asked again, feeling positive of the answer.

"I... I've thought of you doing bad things to me too... You're the only one that can... control me..."
Xue Yang whispered, not daring to look into Xiao XingChen's eyes.

Even so, Xiao XingChen heard it. With a smile, he answered for Xue Yang "So you love me."

"I... I..." Xue Yang stammered, his face blushing red.

"Do you want to kiss me?" Xiao XingChen asked while thinking 'So cute... I really missed you...'

Xue Yang widened his eyes. He wanted to say no but his body found its way to Xiao XingChen
and tiptoed as their lips met.
 I missed you

Xiao XingChen kissed Xue Yang and started licking his lips. When Xiao XingChen reached his
tongue inside, Xue Yang got a shock and wanted to pull away but Xiao XingChen wrapped his
dangling legs around Xue Yang's hips, leaving Xue Yang unable to pull away.

Xiao XingChen gave Xue Yang an aggressive kiss, putting all the feelings he had been holding
back in it.

"So cute, you're so cute Xue Yang. I really missed you, really. I've always wanted to be this close
with you. I've always thought of doing this to you." Xiao XingChen confessed, then kissed Xue
Yang again, making Xue Yang blush.

Xue Yang was panting, moaning and drooling. He blushed even redder when he felt Xiao
XingChen's hard thing poking his own.

Xue Yang pulled away and leaned his head on Xiao XingChen's chest. He whispered softly "Xing
Ge, I... I want you to be mine. I don't want you to leave me. I don't want to see you with others. I
want to keep you by my side such that you only have me. I want you to continue giving me
candies, pampering me and treating me nicely. I also want you to do bad things to me..."

Xiao XingChen let out a smile. "Xue Yang, untie me. I'll do all the bad things you want right now.
I've been waiting for too long." Xiao XingChen said, despite knowing that such words were
unbefitting of his image.

Xue Yang hesitated then rushed to get the ropes off Xiao XingChen, excited at the fact that he'll be
letting out a devil under angel's clothing, that he'll finally get to have his Xing Ge which he wanted
for a long time.

Literally a devil under angel's clothing. The moment the angel was released, the devil came out.
Xue Yang had study on the art of man doing man but it would be his first time after all.

"Xing Ge, I... it's my first time..."

"Xue Yang, if you continue calling me Xing Ge, I won't be able to hold back."

"I... Xing Ge..., be gentle."

Xiao XingChen pushed Xue Yang down. He could see that Xue Yang was a little hesitant. "Don't
call me Xing Ge. Since it's your first time I don't want to hurt you."

"... Xing Ge" Xue Yang called out, even more cutely. He didn't mind getting hurt by Xiao
XingChen's dick. In fact he wanted it. For a long time.

Xiao XingChen kissed Xue Yang. While Xue Yang was engrossed in the kiss, panting and
moaning, Xiao XingChen had removed his robes and moved his hands all over Xue Yang's body,
except for the thing that was standing upright.

"Xing Ge" Xue Yang moaned. "Touch me please."

Xiao XingChen's eyes widened. He immediately stroked Xue Yang's hardened cock at a fast pace,
making Xue Yang moan even louder. Not long
after, Xue Yang came.
Xiao XingChen got excited and readied his own dick in front of Xue Yang's hole. Xue Yang
widened his eyes and shouted "No! Xing Ge!"

Hearing Xue Yang's sudden protest, Xiao XingChen froze. 'Did Xue Yang regret it after all?'

"Xing Ge... Shouldn't you... prepare me first?"

"Pepare?" Xiao XingChen asked innocently.

Seeing that Xiao XingChen didn't know what to do, Xue Yang's cheeks turned a little red while
reaching his finger to his hole. Looking away, he slowly widened his hole and stuck a finger inside.
Seeing Xiao XingChen stare at him made him more excited as he thrusted his finger in himself
faster and faster.

Xiao XingChen thought that Xue Yang looked very sexy. Xue Yang was blushing and his dick
stood upright again as he pleasured himself under Xiao XingChen's heated gaze.

Xiao XingChen smiled and removed Xue Yang's fingers. With his own longer fingers, he
immediately thrusted in Xue Yang's hole while widening it, like what Xue Yang did. "Ahhh! Xing
Ge!"

Xiao XingChen was excited. "Is it ready?" He asked Xue Yang.

Xue Yang was excited seeing Xiao XingChen get impatient. "A little... mmn... more!"

Xiao XingChen thrusted three fingers in, making Xue Yang moan "Ahh Xing Ge!"

Xiao XingChen couldn't take it anymore and placed his dick in front of Xue Yang's hole. He then
leaned in and slowly pushed his dick in.

"Ahh, XingChen Ge! Feels good!" Xue Yang said, wanting to feel Xing Ge deep inside.

With one strong thrust, Xiao XingChen forced his way into Xue Yang's tight hole. "Ahhh!"

"Sorry, does it hurt?" Xiao XingChen asked Xue Yang without moving, letting Xue Yang adjust to
him.

"It hurts but your huge dick feels good inside me." Xue Yang said.

This turned Xiao XingChen on greatly. Xiao XingChen said "You shouldn't use that word, it's too
vulgar".

"But you got bigger!" Xue Yang protested. "Xing Ge, you actually like it when I say the word dick
right? Or cock? Or... Mmnn! You got bigger again! And you still act like you don't like it!"

Xiao XingChen seeing Xue Yang this talkative, started thrusting in him. "Xing Ge! Ahh! Slow...
down a little! It... Nghh... feels good!" Xue Yang moaned.

Everything Xue Yang said and every sound he made turned Xiao XingChen on. After all, Xiao
XingChen had wanted to do this for a long time.

Xiao XingChen increased his pace as he went faster and deeper, making Xue Yang moan even
more.

"Xing Ge! Xing Ge! I want you! Stay! by me forever okay? Don't you ever leave me!" Xue Yang
said between moans and pants.
Xiao XingChen slowed down a little and kissed Xue Yang. "Of course. I'll never leave you again.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have ran away just to escape from what I didn't want to hear. I love you, Xue
Yang."

"Mn!" Xue Yang said, giving his innocent smile which Xiao XingChen brought back to him 4
years ago. Seeing this, Xiao XingChen sped up once again, thrusting into Xue Yang while kissing
him.

Xue Yang screamed with pleasure when Xiao XingChen made a deep thrust with hot liquid
splurting out deep in his insides. He came immediately after.

Xiao XingChen kissed Xue Yang then hugged him. Xue Yang felt Xiao XingChen's embrace and
finally felt warm again after 2 years.

"Xue Yang" Xiao XingChen whispered "Shall we do it again?"

Once wasn't enough for Xiao XingChen who had been holding back for so long. It wasn't enough
for Xue Yang either.

Blushing, Xue Yang nodded his head. Xiao XingChen smiled and kissed him. When his dick stood
up, he immediately slammed it into Xue Yang.

Xue Yang's hole which wasn't prepared for round 2 tightly wrapped XingChen, making
XingChen's dick feel a little suffocated.

Xue Yang gasped at the sudden thrust, but loosened as XingChen started moving. It felt painful but
it felt really good too.

XingChen was more comfortable after Xue Yang loosened up and thrusted harder and faster,
becoming bigger halfway though when Xue Yang said "Xing Ge, your dick is huge, it feels good!

After cumming, they both rested. Xue Yang was exhausted, feeling very sore and Xiao XingChen
didn't want to go too hard on Xue Yang either.

Even though Xue Yang refused to, after Xiao XingChen's multiple assurance that Song Lan was
just a friend, they headed out to find Song Lan.

Seeing Xiao XingChen supporting Xue Yang, Song Lan simply gave them a knowing smile. The
worried Song Lan had unintentionally heard their confessions and moans.

From then, the three of them travelled around together, with Xue Yang possesively hogging Xiao
XingChen while looking at Song Lan warily.

Xiao XingChen felt a little bad whenever Xue Yang got jealous and attacked Song Lan but Song
Lan just chuckled at this, knowing that Xue Yang did not have any bad intentions.

***NOTES*** Xue Yang's attack isn't the physical type but verbal. (or maybe a smack too)
 Separation

Soon, it's almost been one and a half years since Wei Ying and Lan Zhan first met. A few days
ago, Lan Zhan received a message from XiChen saying it's time to return.

Lan Zhan then brought up this topic during dinner "Wei Ying... I have to return home for a while.
Do you want to come with me?"

Wei Ying thought about it and remembered that it was time to return home "Lan Zhan, I have to
return home too... Why not we both go back respectively then meet up somewhere?"

Lan Zhan nodded, though he wanted to bring Wei Ying back with him. "How about Yi An?"

"Mn! But can we stay here for one more night?" Wei Ying asked with puppy eyes.

Lan Zhan then nodded his head. No matter how much time he spent with Wei Ying, he was still
weak to Wei Ying's charm and cuteness. Besides, he wanted to stay with Wei Ying whenever he
could.

"Lan Zhan, I'll miss you..." Wei Ying flirted. Lan Zhan's eyes immediately sparked with lust and
desire. "Wei Ying..."

"Hehe Lan Zhan, i'll let you have me once more before we separate!" Wei Ying grinned as he
walked towards the bed, slowly taking off his robes.

Lan Zhan immediately rushed to Wei Ying and forcefully tugged off his robes. "Once isn't
enough" Lan Zhan said as he kissed Wei Ying.

Wei Ying chuckled as he also tugged off Lan Zhan's robes. He then knelt down and kissed Lan
Zhan's dick.

They had been trying out many new ways to pleasure each other and Wei Ying liked turning Lan
Zhan on by sucking his dick. It also helped reduce the chance of him not being able to walk the
next day.

This time however, Lan Zhan wanted to have Wei Ying to the fullest. He grabbed Wei Ying and in
a flash, entered him with a thrust.

"Lan Zhan!" Wei Ying whined. They had done it twice before dinner so Wei Ying's hole was
prepared.

After their passionate night, they departed. "See you in a week." Wei Ying said as he hugged Lan
Zhan tightly. Lan Zhan hugged Wei Ying back as tight "See you."

They kissed and reluctantly left each other. "Lan Zhan! I love you!" Wei Ying shouted in the far
distance as he waved.

Lan Zhan smiled and said back too. "Wei Ying, I love you too." Both of them then rushed back
home, both hoping they could reach Yi An earlier.

The usually distracted Wei Ying could only think about Lan Zhan as he headed straight back to
Yunmeng on his sword, without bothering to sight see and only stopped to replenish energy. Lan
Zhan was the same and he rode his sword as fast as he could, with only one destination in mind.
***

"BOO!!!!"

"AHHHH!" Jiang Cheng screamed. He was secretly trying to sneak out of Lotus Pier but Wei Ying
who climbed the wall caught him and decided to scare him.

Jiang Cheng turned around with a glare. His expression then turned into a shock. "Wei WuXian!
Why are you here!"

"Because I missed you!" Wei Ying joked.

Jiang Cheng smacked Wei Ying. "Bullshit! You still know how to come back? You might have as
well have left forever!"

"Ay, Jiang Cheng, don't be like that!" Wei Ying said, while smacking Jiang Cheng back.

"Xian Xian!" Yanli who had been disturbed came out to see what happened and was pleasantly
surprised at the sight of Wei Ying.

"ShiJie!!" Wei Ying shouted as he hugged Yanli. "I've missed you!"

"Tch, leaving without a word then coming back saying you miss Jie" Jiang Cheng rambled as he
rolled his eyes.

"I left a letter!" Wei Ying retorted, then turned to Jiang Yanli and complained "ShiJie, Jiang Cheng
was trying to sneak out!!"

"You!" Jiang Cheng uttered, reaching his hand out to smack Wei Ying. He had wanted to go find
Lan XiChen as they had grown closer within these one and a half years.

It was early in the morning and the noise they made woke many up as the disciples started
crowding around their eldest disciple brother, welcoming him back.

They started telling him about what they had been doing during this 1.5 years, how often they got
punished and things like that.

Jiang FengMian came out too. Hearing Lotus Pier as loud and rowdy as before, he knew that Wei
Ying had returned. "A-Ying, you're back."

"Uncle Jiang!" Wei Ying greeted, both politely and excitedly.

Wei Ying then thought of Lan Zhan and wanted to get down to business. "Uncle Jiang, I have
something to discuss with you..."

Uncle Jiang got curious as this was the first time Wei Ying wanted to discuss something. He
nodded his head and they headed to the meeting hall.

In the meeting hall, Jiang FengMian and Yu Ziyuan were sat at the front, Jiang Cheng and Jiang
Yanli stood at the side, while Wei Ying stood in the middle.

"Madam Yu" Wei Ying greeted. Madam Yu waved her hand, acknowledging it.

Wei Ying then kept quiet, thinking of how to start. Jiang FengMian started first, asking him a
casual question "How have you been doing? You don't usually bring money around."
"I've been doing fine." Wei Ying smiled as he replied. He was about to talk about Lan Zhan when
Jiang FengMian interrupted him.

"That's good to hear. You're back now and it's almost time for the marriage. Are you prepared?"

"Yea... about the arriange marriage..." Wei Ying dragged, feeling nervous. "I... I fell in love with
someone!"

The four of them were left shocked by Wei Ying's sudden announcement.
 In Love

"Xiong Zhang" Lan Zhan bowed as he greeted XiChen.

"WangJi, you're back!" XiChen welcomed him with a smile "How was your trip? You were gone
for long"

"It was good..." Lan Zhan replied.

"WangJi, if you have something to say, feel free to." XiChen said, noticing Lan Zhan's hesitant
expression.

"Xiong Zhang... I... I would like to bring someone back to Cloud Recesses." Lan Zhan said, then
continued "Bring him back, hide him away"

Lan XiChen could tell what Lan Zhan was thinking. He was thinking about what to say when Lan
Zhan opened his mouth. "Xiong Zhang, please punish me, I have broken a few clan rules."

Lan XiChen was shocked. "Which ones?"

LWJ: "Drinking alcohol, having selfish thoughts, thoughts of hate and jealousness, and..."

Lan XiChen interrupted him. "Drinking alcohol outside Cloud Recesses is fine. Also, it's normal to
have such thoughts too but of course, don't hurt anyone with those thoughts."

LWJ: "I talked while eating."

Lan XiChen raised his eyebrows a little and chuckled "WangJi, sometimes I think that you are too
hard on yourself. If you go out of Cloud Recesses more often, you'll realise that our rules are just
for discipline. You're disciplined enough. There won't be any punishment for that either."

LWJ: "I wrapped my forehead ribbon around that person..."

Lan XiChen was left speechless for the first time. He calmed himself down and responded
"Hmmm, bring that maiden back first.

Since you're so serious... about the arranged marriage, i'll try to figure something out. You have to
convince ShuFu too. Also, wrapping your forehead ribbon around another isn't against the clan
rules. It just shows how important that person is to you."

LWJ: "It's a man."

"..." Lan XiChen was speechless for the second time in his life. He smiled and said "That's fine too.
Bring him back. Isn't your arranged marriage partner also a man?"

"Mn." Lan Zhan replied. Even though he has his usual expressionless face, Lan XiChen could tell
he was grateful and excited.

***

"What did you say?!" Jiang Cheng asked in disbelief.

"I fell in love..." Wei Ying said, feeling a little bad.

"You have someone you love! Is she very pretty?" Jiang Yanli asked.

"It's a man" Wei Ying corrected her.

"WHAT?! You fell in love and it's with a man?" Jiang Cheng asked, shocked.

Wei Ying simply nodded his head. "The gender doesn't really matter. Your arranged partner is a
man." Jiang FengMian spoke up.

Wei Ying then nodded his head and "Mn" with a smile. Jiang FengMian then continued "But... the
arranged marriage..."

Seeing her husband act like that, Yu ZiYuan spoke up. "But the arranged marriage has already
been decided. Besides, you had given in to this matter at Gusu. If you're still insistent, I can't
control you anyway!"

Wei Ying looked down "I... Please excuse me, i'll talk to your later."

Wei Ying needed some time to think carefully. Sitting by his favourite lotus pond, Jiang Cheng
came over "That was very sudden. You're being irresponsible you know? Besides, we have already
exchanged gifts!"

Wei Ying kept quiet, not knowing what to say, neither was he in the mood to quarrel.

"You like him that much?" Jiang Cheng asked, feeling a little awkward.

Wei Ying sighed "I love him."

"You should have told us earlier! Isn't this too late?! There's only a few months left to the
marriage!" Jiang Cheng scolded, then turned around and left.

Wei Ying thought about everything they said. That night, Wei Ying laid in his bed, unable to sleep.

Firstly, his parents were involved in this arranged marriage and they had already exchanged special
rings at that time, meant to fulfil the promise.

Secondly, he had the chance to utterly reject the arranged marriage one and a half years ago, before
he met Lan Zhan, which he didnt.

Thirdly, both sides had already exchanged gifts and annouced that there is an arranged marriage
between Gusu Lan Sect and Yunmeng Jiang Sect to the cultivation world.

If they were to cancel it, this would affect both sect's reputation, especially Yunmeng Jiang Sect's
being the one to cancel it. With all these weighing down on Wei Ying, he really didn't know what
to do.

Fourthly... *Knock Knock*. Sudden knocks at the door disrupted his thoughts. "Xian Xian, are
you sleeping?"

Hearing ShiJie's voice, Wei Ying felt a little comforted. He got up and opened the door. "ShiJie"
He greeted, with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"Xian Xian, I brought you some lotus pork rib soup!" Jiang Yanli said, bringing the tray in.

Wei Ying smiled at his ShiJie "Thanks ShiJie" Whenever he had little appetite, his ShiJie's lotus
pork rib soup would always cure it.
Wei Ying took a sip, then praised his ShiJie like he usually does. "ShiJie, it's the best!" Wei Ying
then slurped up the soup he missed very much but at this moment, he didn't miss anything as much
as he missed Lan Zhan.

"ShiJie..." Wei Ying called out sadly, tears forming in his eyes as he thought about Lan Zhan. "I
really love him. I want to be with him. I miss him so much."

Jiang Yanli felt a little heartbroken seeing her precious brother this upset. She had only seen Wei
Ying upset when he was young.

"Xian Xian, why not you run away from here? I'll help you." Jiang Yanli suggested.

"Thanks ShiJie" Wei Ying sincerely smiled. He knew his ShiJie would definitely support him in
anything he did or wanted. That was also why ShiJie was the most precious to him.

Though now Lan Zhan is as precious.

 Decision

CLOUD RECESSES

Lan Zhan had rested the day at Cloud Recesses. His uncle was out, so he couldn't discuss the
arranged marriage matter with his uncle. Lan Zhan couldn't wait anymore, thinking that Wei Ying
might reach Yi An anytime. Hence, bidding goodbye to Lan XiChen, he left for Yi An first.

LOTUS PIER

The next morning, Uncle Jiang went to Wei Ying's room. "Wei Ying, this... this is the ring your
parents exchanged with Lan QiRen. This is supposed to be your partner's ring. I heard what Yanli
told you last night. If you really choose to run away, I won't say anything. This ring, I'm sure your
parents would want you to let the person you really love wear it."

With that, Uncle Jiang left Wei Ying alone. Wei Ying stared at the ring and imagined Lan Zhan
wearing it. He then finally showed a smile.

Actually... there was another reason why he was hesitating so much... a few days ago, he had a
nightmare. A nightmare, so real and horrifying, truly deserving to be called a nightmare. It was Lan
Zhan who shook him out of it and Wei Ying had really frightened Lan Zhan with a sudden
nightmare.

In his nightmare, he watched helplessly as Uncle Jiang and Madam Yu, his adoptive parents, Jiang
Yanli, his precious ShiJie, and the rest of Yunmeng disciples faced their death. He also watched
Jiang Cheng, his best buddy, playmate and brother, falling into despair.

Wei Ying, had always felt indebted to the Jiang family, for making him feel like he had a home.
Having a dream that felt more real than reality, he definitely could not just leave them behind.

Yesterday Madam Yu saying "I can't control you anyway", was her way of telling him to do as he
wishes.

Jiang Cheng coming to find him afterwards was his way of checking on him and when he left to let
Wei Ying have some alone time, it was to give him space.

Last night, Jiang Yanli bringing him his favourite lotus root and pork rib soup and telling him to
run away was hey way of showing her love towards her brother.

This morning, Jiang FengMian passing him the ring, was hinting to him to run away if he wanted
to, and that Jiang FengMian wouldn't blame him.

With all the love and concern they showed him, all the more he couldn't just leave them.
Especially since he has always felt that he has a debt he couldn't repay no matter what. Not even
with his life.

Hence, even though Lan Zhan is his life, he couldn't just run to Lan Zhan. He wouldn't want to see
the Jiang Family, his adoptive family, landing in the state in his dreams.

Even if Wei Ying gave up his love for the Jiang Family, he felt that it would never be enough as he
wouldn't even be alive if not for the Jiang Family.

Hence, making his decision, he quickly prepared himself and set off for Yi An, wanting to see Lan
Zhan for the last time.
 Yi An Hill

When Wei Ying was nearing the top of the hill in Yi An, he saw Lan Zhan standing there. The
person he's been wanting to see for the past few days. It had been torturous not being by Lan
Zhan's side.

All the cells in his body pushed for him to run to Lan Zhan, to talk, touch and be with Lan Zhan.
However, he bit his lips and held back. He sat where he was, silently watching Lan Zhan's back.

It was nearing night. Lan Zhan sat at the top of the mountain, seemingly no intention of going
down the mountain. Wei Ying just continued watching him.

3 days passed.

None of them ate or drank anything. Lan Zhan was still waiting for Wei Ying. Wei Ying was still
watching Lan Zhan. He wanted to watch Lan Zhan as long as he could.

"It's been 3 days, don't you know..." Wei Ying stood behind Lan Zhan, determined to tell him not
to wait any longer. He couldn't bear to see Lan Zhan staying here any longer, waiting for a man
who might not come.

"Wei Ying!" Lan Zhan said loudly with a hint of excitement, cutting Wei Ying off. He
immediately threw his arms around Wei Ying and embraced him tightly.

"Why... Why are you still waiting..." Wei Ying stuttered, his whole body trembling, embracing Lan
Zhan with all his strength. He's been wanting to do so ever since he saw Lan Zhan standing at the
top of the hill.

LWJ: "Why would I leave without you?"

WWX: "Why didn't you go get food or water?"

LWJ: "I wanted to eat with you."

WWX: "Lan Zhan, you... if I didn't come after so long, you should have just left."

LWJ: "If I left, how am I supposed to contact you?"

WWX: "There's no need to."

LWJ: "Wei Ying?"

WWX: "Haha, you still didn't realise? I've been messing with you. I just wanted to see your
reaction when I leave you waiting like that. Who knew you would wait here for 3 days? Quite the
loyal man huh."

LWJ: "Lies."

Wei Ying pushed himself out of Lan Zhan's embrace but Lan Zhan refused to let go. After
struggling for a while, Wei Ying gave up and remained in Lan Zhan's embrace, head leaning on his
chest.

"Stop it, I was really messing with you. Let me go. I'm sorry okay? I didn't know you would wait
for so long." Wei Ying mumbled, knocking his head lightly on Lan Zhan's chest several times.
LWJ: "Stop playing around. Where are we going next? Let's go to my home first. I want to
introduce my older brother to you. Oh, wait. Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"

Wei Ying was a little surprised that Lan Zhan said so much. Wei Ying guessed that Lan Zhan was
getting anxious and was trying to convince both of them that Wei Ying was lying.

WWX: "I'm not playing around. You really didn't notice me messing with you? You're so gullible.
I'm not going with you. I'm sick of playing with you already. In fact I found someone better!"

Lan Zhan shouted: "LIES! Stop it Wei Ying. I don't like this kind of joke."

Wei Ying got a shock as he had never heard Lan Zhan raise his voice. "I'm not lying, in fact I'm
marrying him soon. It was decided even before I met you. He is very
handsome, no one can compare to him. He has a lot of money, but it's fine even if he didn't. He is
also..."

"Stop!" Lan Zhan cut off Wei Ying again.

"I'm not done. He is very caring and loving towards me... and it's so cute how he expresses them
with his mini, little actions... I have a lot fun when I'm with him ... I can live with him forever.
Most importantly... I really really love him." Wei Ying said, almost choking on his words.

LWJ: "... Say it while looking at me"

Wei Ying, with his bloodshot eyes, stared into Lan Zhan's eyes. With much difficulty, he uttered,
"It's true." Although in his heart, he thought 'It's true, it's just that I'm marrying a guy I don't love. I
was describing you, how much I love you and I'm not done describing how perfect you are. You're
staring in my eyes. Can you tell that the one I love is you?' He was voicing his thoughts in his mind
so loudly that he almost blurted 'I love you. I want to run away with you.'

Lan Zhan was staring into Wei Ying's eyes. 'Tell me it's a lie, it's a lie' He desperately thought.
After hearing "It's true", he felt needles poking his chest and throat. He almost teared up.

Both of them were fighting back their tears. Both of them felt heartache. Both of them didn't want
to leave each other.

Sensing that Lan Zhan loosened his embrace, Wei Ying grabbed the chance. If he didn't do it now,
he wouldn't be able to. "Don't bother looking for me. This is goodbye." Wei Ying said as he broke
free from Lan Zhan's embrace and ran down the hill.

Lan Zhan only stared at Wei Ying's disappearing back and whispered, "Lies."

Lan Zhan stood there for a long time, then finally dejectedly headed down the mountains, still not
believing what Wei Ying had said to him.

Suddenly a maiden came up to him. "This handsome man, are you by any chance "Old Fashioned
Boy?"

Remembering that Wei Ying gave him that nickname, Lan Zhan immediately nodded his head
"Yes!"

The maiden then revealed somthing in her palm and said "Here, a man left this for you. He also
wants to pass you a letter.", then she bowed and walked away.
 Letter

Lan Zhan grabbed the items and nervously opened the letter. He read it in his mind anxiously.

Lan Zhan,
To my Lan Zhan, I'm sorry. As much as I want to be with you, due to certain circumstances, I can't.
Do I sound too serious? Haha...
I wanted to leave you without an explanation so that you would hate me but maybe you would
understand me better this way and be able to forget me.
This ring is for you. My parents left it to me and it is meant to be for my lifelong partner. Even
though I'm leaving you, I hope that you would be willing to wear this ring.
The past one and a half years have been the happiest moments in my life, and they will become my
happiest memories.
Lan Zhan! Don't you dare forget me okay? That's what I really want to say. But, I can't be selfish.
So instead, I'll ask of you to forget me. If you're happy, then I will be able to live my life a little
happier.
It's true that I'm getting married soon, but its with a man I don't even know. But I'll get to know
him as I live my life.
I love you, you know that right? I really do. It's been 5 days since we separated and I already
missed you like crazy. That's why, don't look for me. Or I'll be in a difficult position.
Sorry that I won't be able to fulfil the many promises I made with you. My only regret is that I
couldn't spend more time with you, couldn't fulfil those promises.
In my next life, next hundred thousand million billion lives, if you're still willing to be with me, I
hope to be able to spend all of them with you.
Lan Zhan, I'm really very sorry that I have to leave and I'm really very grateful to you for
everything. You really are the best thing that ever happened to me. I love you. Very much.
Wei Ying

When Lan Zhan finished reading, he had tears falling from his face. He regretted everything he just
did. He knew that Wei Ying was lying on the hill.

He should have held on to Wei Ying, even if it was just for a little longer. He should have chased
after Wei Ying. Lan Zhan was angry at himself, knowing that it was too late to find Wei Ying,
since it's been a day since Wei Ying left.

Lan Zhan punched everything he could see around him. He closed his eyes while panting heavily,
yet knowing he couldn't change anything.

Lan Zhan then started walking, and without knowing, had walked back to Cloud Recesses.

He walked in and happened to see Lan XiChen, who looked behind him before giving him a
questioned look.

"Xiong Zhang, he... he doesn't want to come back with me. He said he can't. He... left me" Lan
Zhan told Lan XiChen, his eyes bloodshot, his voice full of unspeakable sadness.

Lan XiChen was shocked. This was the first time he saw Lan Zhan looking like that. He hadn't
heard Lan Zhan speak so much for some time already. "WangJi..."

LWJ: "Xiong Zhang, I wish to stay in the back mountains for half a year."

Lan XiChen: "Half a year... After that would be the arranged marriage. Are you sure... ?"
Lan Zhan said "I... don't want the arranged marriage..." He felt that he would not want to marry any
other person. He knew that Wei Ying had his reasons but he wasn't willing to spend his life with
anyone but Wei Ying.

LOTUS PIER

"ShiJie..." Wei Ying cried in Jiang Yanli's lap. He cried uncontrollably, to the extent where Jiang
Yanli did not know what to do, only stroking his head as comfort.

Wei Ying had been crying the moment he started running down the hill. He looked at the ring and
quickly wrote a letter at Yi An Town. After all, he still wanted Lan Zhan to be the one wearing the
ring.

After asking someone to pass it to a man called 'Old Fashioned Boy', He ran all the way till he
reached Lotus Pier and everyone was shocked by his appearance.

If it were serious physical pain, Wei Ying would bite it down and claim that it's nothing. However,
such emotional pain was a first for him and he didn't know how to suppress it.

"Xian Xian... tell me more about him. You didn't say much previously"

"ShiJie... he's perfect. He's handsome, elegant, has a lot of money, watches out for me, cares for
me, treats me differently and i can tell that he really really loves me! He really does and I really
really love him to!" Wei Ying said while sniffing, feeling happier describing Lan Zhan. But as he
thought about how he can't be with Lan Zhan, he started crying again.

"Xian Xian... that man must really be a good man! ... Xian Xian, if you really really want to be with
him why don't you run away with him! I'll cover for you! Besides, I'm sure your parents want you
to be happy, compared to insisting on the arranged marriage." Jiang Yanli said encouragingly.

"ShiJie... but... but... I already told him I can't and I don't know how to contact him" Wei Ying said,
crying again. Though he felt grateful towards Jiang Yanli, he couldn't tell anyone about the
nightmare he had.

The next day, Wei Ying was in the meeting hall with the Jiang Family. "What?! You lost the
wedding ring??" Jiang Cheng exclaimed.

Jiang FengMian knew that Wei Ying must have passed it to the man he loved. "A-Ying, it's fine
but i take this as you've decided to continue with the arranged marriage?"

Wei Ying simply nodded his head. Jiang FengMian sighed in his heart, knowing the Jiang Family
played an important role in his decision.

Yu ZiYuan, though she didn't show or say anything, left the hall as she felt that Wei Ying should
have went along with his desire.

After all, they didn't know about the most important reason, which was Wei Ying's nightmare,
which felt more real than reality.
 Dream

A WEEK LATER

Lan Zhan continued staying in seclusion at the back mountains. He was mostly meditating but he
was often disrupted by thoughts of Wei Ying. He looked down at the ring on his finger.

He didn't want to accept the arranged marriage but Lan XiChen had told him to consider again.
"WangJi" Lan XiChen said as he came to talk to Lan Zhan again.

Wei Ying have not been eating his meals. Wei Ying had placed all the items related to Lan Zhan
on his table. If he wasn't blankly staring at them, thinking about Lan Zhan, he would be crying and
could only cry himself to sleep. The only thing he would manage to swallow down is his favourite
Lotus Root and Pork Rib Soup.

Jiang Cheng could not take it anymore and approached Wei Ying. "Are you going to be like this?
Since you decided to go on with the marriage, you should carry out this decision like a man!"

"Jiang Cheng... I'm not in the mood to quarrel with you..." Wei Ying said weakly.

Jiang Cheng smacked Wei Ying on the back and said "Didn't you say we're the Twin Prides of
Yunmeng? Aren't you the most handsome one? You don't even look decent now!
You're definitely going to be looked down upon by Second Lan Young Master! We're going for the
monthly night hunt tonight. Are you coming along?"

Jiang Yanli who just stepped in said softly, "A-Cheng, don't be so loud. A-Xian, why don't you go
with them and clear your mind? You love going for night hunts right?"

WWX: "... Alright..."

"Prepare yourself! We're setting off soon. You should be up and about more often! Stop being so
weak. It's not like you!" Jiang Cheng said, annoyed at how Wei Ying became after being
heartbroken.

During the night hunt, everyone was silent. Their eldest disciple who was usually joking and
jumping around, was not focused and kept on daydreaming, making the other disciples worried.

Wei Ying just followed them blindly. He didn't even realised when they reach the hunting
grounds. He was tired, hungry (though he didn't feel like eating) and out of it. Then without even
realising it, he lost his conciousness.

At the same time at Cloud Recesses, Lan XiChen was still talking to Lan Zhan. "It's fine if you
continue staying here but have you decided on the matter of the arranged marriage?"

LWJ: "...Not yet..."

Lan XiChen expecting that response, continued. "Jiang Sect Leader had sent a message, asking
when the two of you can meet."

Lan Zhan kept quiet, unwilling to go along with it. Lan XiChen then continued "Wei Gong Zi has
returned for some time. You shouldn't keep him waiting."

Lan Zhan hearing "Wei" immediately opened his eyes and turned his head.

Lan XiChen was taken aback by this sudden action "... WangJi? What's wrong?"

LWJ: "XiongZhang, Wei Gong Zi?"

Lan XiChen, realising Lan Zhan still didnt know who his partner was, said "Your partner, Wei
Gong Zi from Yunmeng Jiang Sect. His name is Wei WuXian."

Lan Zhan immediately stood up and raised his voice "Wei Ying? Xiong Zhang, is his birth name
Wei Ying?"

Lan Zhan had always thought that his partner was a 'Jiang'. Lan XiChen nodded, understanding the
situation "What a coincidence..."

Lan Zhan nodded his head as he immediately walked out of the back mountains, with XiChen
following behind.

"Xiong Zhang, I'm going over now." Lan Zhan said, in a rush to see Wei Ying.

Lan XiChen stopped him and told him that they'll go together, and reminded him to bid farewell to
Lan QiRen.

Lan Zhan and Lan XiChen were about to set off for Lotus Pier when a disciple reported, "Sect
Leader, Lan Er Gong Zi, Yunmeng Jiang Sect has sent a message to inform us that Wei Gong Zi is
in a coma."

Lan Zhan widened his eyes, slightly showing worried expressions. Lan XiChen pat Lan Zhan on
the back and said "It'll be fine. Let's go over now."

"... Lan... Lan Zhan..." Wei Ying mumbled, his body shivering. His face was pale and he barely
had any strength.

"Xian Xian, are you awake?" Jiang Yanli immediately checked on Wei Ying after hearing his
voice.

"He's still in a coma. It's the dangerous period. During this period his consciousness will come and
go, so it's better not to shake him or move him. He can only recover through his will." The doctor
said.

"Alright, thank you Doctor." Jiang Yanli said politely, though she was still feeling worried.

Lan Zhan and Lan XiChen travelled non-stop and managed to reach Yunmeng in less than 2 days.
They were welcomed by Uncle Jiang. After greeting him, Lan Zhan immediately asked "What
happened?"

Jiang Cheng, angry at the fact that Wei Ying could not even focus on the night hunt and hurt
himself, shouted "Isn't it all because of a stupid heartbreak? Is it really that serious? He lives as
though he's not living!"
Jiang Yanli said gently "A-Cheng"

Jiang Cheng got even angrier. "Did I say anything wrong? All he does is cry everyday! Even if the
dream demon didn't attack him, he would be in this state without eating enough for so long!"

Lan Zhan questioned "Dream demon?"

Jiang Yanli spoke up while trying to calm Jiang Cheng down. "It's like that. During the monthly
night hunt, A-Xian wasn't focused and he didn't even realise that a dream demon had targeted him.
The others managed to get him out of it in time but when he was freed he ended up rolling down
the hill. He hasn't been eating much and barely slept too so his body was very weak."

**NOTES**
Dream demon: Traps people with what they dream of the most, then takes control of them, leading
them to death. Low-leveled demon, usually only targets non-cultivators and weak people.
 Doctor

Lan Zhan felt nervous. "I want to see him."

Jiang Yanli was a little taken aback by the commanding tone but said "Right right, follow me."

Lan Zhan, Lan XiChen, Jiang Cheng, Jiang Yanli all crowded around Wei Ying's bed. Lan Zhan's
face darkened the moment he saw Wei Ying. He was worried, sad, angry. He was filled with many
emotions. He gently sat down beside Wei Ying and placed his hand on Wei Ying's hand.

"Wei Ying" Lan Zhan said gently, with his low, deep soothing voice. Seeing no response, Lan
Zhan tried again "Wei Ying, it's me."

Jiang Yanli realised that this was the man Wei Ying had been wishing to be with the whole time.

Just as Jiang Cheng was about to tell Lan Zhan to stop, Wei Ying mumbled "Lan Zhan..."

Lan Zhan immediately stood up and hovered over Wei Ying, resting his hands on Wei Ying's
shoulders. "Wei Ying!"

Afraid that Lan Zhan would start shaking Wei Ying, Jiang Yanli immediately said "Lan Er Gong
Zi, he has been like that for some time. The doctor said his consciousness will come and go, so it's
best not to shake him or move him about."

Lan Zhan let go of his hands, realising that he got a bit too anxious. He calmed himself and sat
back down, placing his hand above Wei Ying's again. "I'll stay."

Lan Zhan clenched his other fist and blamed himself. Seeing Wei Ying pale and sick while calling
out to him, Lan Zhan just felt worse.

'I should have held on to him' Lan Zhan repeated in his mind numerous times, regretting even
though he knew it was too late.

Day by day passed and Wei Ying's condition wasn't really improving. Wei Ying had started
shivering and his face was significantly paler, which made it even worse.

Lan Zhan didn't want to leave Wei Ying's side but decided to, in order to find a better doctor. He
had already asked Lan Sect's doctor to come over but it wasn't very helpful.

Lan Zhan desperately visited towns after towns continuously, trying to find a good, reputable
doctor. He finally heard of one, but it was difficult to meet her as she was often roaming about.

4 days had passed without being by Wei Ying's side and it was really making Lan Zhan feel
extremely anxious. He didn't even know how Wei Ying was doing now.

Finally, he caught up to the doctor. However, the doctor wasn't very willing to follow him.

Wei Ying's condition had worsened. Whatever medicine they tried feeding him, Wei Ying wasn't
able to swallow it.

The doctor then advised them not to feed him anymore medicine, in case he choked on it, blocking
his airway.
"What are you saying?! He won't recover if he doesn't take the medicine!" Jiang Cheng shouted
frustratedly.

"Jiang Gong Zi... there's nothing we can do about that..." the doctor nervously replied, never being
scolded by Jiang Cheng before.

Jiang Yanli who had tears rolling down her face buried her face in Wei Ying's hand. "A-Xian..."
She sobbed.

Jiang Cheng grit his teeth and was about to shout at the doctor again when Lan XiChen held his
hand. "WanYin, Wei Gong Zi will be fine... He will make it"

Even Lan XiChen sounded abit unsure. But it managed to calm Jiang Cheng down a little. Jiang
FengMian glanced at Wei Ying and Jiang Yanli, then left the room, obviously upset. He had
treated Wei Ying as his son.

After calming Jiang Cheng down, XiChen immediately headed out and sent a butterfly message to
Lan Zhan.

Lan Zhan had been pestering the doctor and seeing his brother's message, he panicked even more.

The doctor raised her eyes at the butterfly which disappeared soon after. All of a sudden, she stood
up.

"This young master, kneeling down isn't going to help" The doctor said.

Lan Zhan bowed his head "Please... Please help..."

"You're a skilled cultivator. You do know that dream demons are weak but extremely dangerous
when trapped. Even more so if that person has a weak state of mind. You should get up and head
back to see him.”

Refusing to stand up, Lan Zhan pleaded again "I heard that you are truly skilled. Please help me!"

The doctor sighed and turned around. "That's what you heard. Rumours are often exaggerated.
Besides, you said that it's been more than a week. I'm sure he can't even swallow medicine now"

Lan Zhan widened his eyes. "He can't... Please... You're truly knowledgeable"

"Jie... won't you help him? He has been following us for a whole day... and he's really sincere..." A
younger boy spoke up.

The female doctor shot a glare at him and the younger boy kept quiet. Turning to look at Lan Zhan,
Wen Qing said after a moment of silence. "I can't guarantee anything"

Lan Zhan finally felt a little more relieved "Much thanks." He said and got up as he bowed.

Wen Qing shook her head and walked to her room, signaling Wen Ning to follow her. "A-Ning, it's
not that I didn't want to help him. We have to return to Wen Sect in 3 days. That's not enough if we
have to go to YunMeng"

"Jie... You always told me that being kind to others will let us get back kindness..." Wen Ning
mumbled.
Sighing, Wen Qing said "It's true, but when it comes to Uncle Wen... Never mind. I'll think of a
reason. You go practice brewing medicine"

Wen Ning nodded his head and left.

Lan Zhan wanted to head back to YunMeng immediately but it was already very good that Wen
Qing was willing to help. He hadn't been sleeping very well as he was travelling to the next town at
night.

Now that he could rest for the night, he wanted to sleep but was still too worried to do so. In the
end, Lan Zhan spent the night thinking about Wei Ying, occasionally feeling jealous, occasionally
suppressing a smile, face darkened with fist clenched whenever he thought of how Wei Ying is
now.

"Wei Ying... I'll be back soon. Wait for me..." Lan Zhan mumbled as he stared into the night sky.

The next day at 5am, he immediately knocked onto Wen Qing's door and asked to set off. Wen
Qing was a little annoyed at having to wake up at 5am but didn't do anything, knowing that a life
was at stake.
 Waking Up

The moment they reached Lotus Pier, Lan Zhan dragged them to Wei Ying's bedroom. Lan Zhan
saw Wei Ying and wanted to hug him, hold him, but held back when Wen Qing stepped forward.

Wen Qing pulled out 18 accupunture needles and inserted in on Wei Ying's face, chest, hands and
legs. When she was done, Wei Ying stopped shivering.

Wen Qing then instructed everyone not to touch him, to Lan Zhan's dismay. She stayed outside
Wei Ying's room to brew medicine and asked both Yunmeng Jiang Sect's and Gusu Lan Sect's
doctors to come over.

She scolded them for replacing a rare herb with a subpar herb, which was a very common mistake
as the rare herb was hard to find.

Wen Qing took care of Wei Ying for a whole week, till Wei Ying passed the dangerous period.
She was often annoyed by Lan Zhan who kept lurking outside Wei Ying's room and his constant
questions.

After that she gave the doctors another prescription and asked them to follow strictly, then she left.

Another week passed. During this one week, Lan Zhan stayed by Wei Ying's side and took care of
him. When no one was around, he would hold on to Wei Ying's hand and call his name.

Wen Qing's skills were truly amazing as Wei Ying's condition has significantly improved. His face
was no longer pale and he could swallow medicine.

On the 8th night, Lan Zhan was calling Wei Ying's name when Wei Ying's eyes started to open.
Through his blurred vision, he saw Lan Zhan and thought 'Ahh i feel so weak. Is this another
dream? The same dream I've been having for a while now?'

Meanwhile, Lan Zhan who saw Wei Ying's eyes opening and closing immediately hovered over
him and called out to him. "Wei Ying."

"Wow... this time I can finally hear your voice in my dream..." Wei Ying said as his previous
dreams didn't include Lan Zhan talking to him.

"It's not a dream" Lan Zhan said gently.

"Hehe I made Lan Zhan lie. Lan Zhan... won't you kiss me for the last time?" Wei Ying said.

"It's really not a dream..." Lan Zhan said with a frown. Looking at Wei Ying who was still staring
at him, waiting for a kiss, Lan Zhan thought he shouldn't but he couldn't control himself either and
kissed Wei Ying. It's been too long.

He pressed his lips against Wei Ying's and in between breaths, mumbled "Wei Ying..."

Wei Ying was even more out of breath, panting, "Mmm... Lan Zhan... Lan... Mmm..."

Their tongues were rubbing against each other while they both sucked on each other's lips. This
made Lan Zhan lose his self control. Wei Ying tugged on Lan Zhan's shirt, making his clothes
loose.

He tried reaching for Lan Zhan's chest. Lan Zhan did the same thing back as the kissed
aggressively. He only stopped when Wei Ying slowed his panting, stopped moving his tongue and
stopped sucking on Lan Zhan's lips.

Lan Zhan was concerned and anxious. "Wei Ying?" He called out. Seeing Wei Ying unresponsive,
Lan Zhan immediately shouted "Doctor!"

Right after the doctor arrived, Jiang Yanli, Jiang Cheng and Lan XiChen came right behind. The
four of them were stunnned, seeing both their lips red, shirt around the chest area a little loose. Lan
XiChen who has never seen Lan Zhan like this before uttered "WangJi..."

Realising that Wei Ying's clothes came loose, he immediately adjusted Wei Ying's clothes before
adjusting his own.

The doctor who thought that Lan Zhan was making a move on an unconscious Wei Ying said
"This..."

Lan Zhan cleared his throat and said, "He woke up just now..."

The doctor checked up on Wei Ying and said "Mn, Wei Gong Zi has woken up. He was just overly
tired and seem to have fainted from a lack of... ahem... lack of air."

Jiang Yanli, sensing that Lan Zhan was feeling embarrassed, smiled and said "Two Lan Young
Masters, go ahead and rest. I'll take care of him tonight."

LWJ: "But I..."

"Lan Er Gong Zi, you've not been resting well ever since you came. Since A-Xian have passed the
dangerous period, you can relax." Jiang Yanli insisted.

"I'll be back soon" Lan Zhan said, walking to his prepared room unwillingly. He knew that Jiang
Yanli had been letting him have alone time with Wei Ying for the whole week and was grateful to
her for that.

The next morning, at 5am, Wei Ying woke up. "Shi... ShiJie..."

"A-Xian! You're awake! Are you feeling better?" Jiang Yanli asked as she helped Wei Ying sit up.

WWX: "Of course I'm... *cough* I'm fine. What happened?"

Jiang Yanli poured some water for him. "You weren't focused on the night hunt and have been
sleeping for about one and a half weeks! All this time Lan Er Gong Zi took care of you!"

Wei Ying woke all his cells up when he heard Jiang Yanli say "Lan". He thought to himself 'Oh, it
wasn't Lan Zhan. At least his surname is Lan too.' He then jokingly said "Why is this Lan Er Gong
Zi such a busybody? I haven't even met him and he probably thinks that I'm a weakling! ShiJie, we
musn't let him look down on us!"

Jiang Yanli then remembered that Wei Ying didn't know Lan Er Gong Zi and Lan Zhan were the
same person. She decided not to spoil the surprise for him. "I'll tell Dad, Mom and A-Cheng that
you're awake." Jiang Yanli smiled and excused herself, knowing Lan Zhan will return soon.

After a while of thinking of Lan Zhan, a few knocks sounded at the door and Lan Zhan walked in.
Walking past the partition, Lan Zhan came face to face with an awaked Wei Ying. Wei Ying's face
immediately lighted up when he saw Lan Zhan but immediately returned to a shocked face.
Wei Ying remembered his dream and thought 'Was it real or fake?!'
 Finding Out

"You!... What are you doing here?! How did you find me?" Wei Ying asked with a serious and
stern voice.

"You're ill." Lan Zhan replied.

"So what?" Wei Ying asked, trying to be as casual as he could.

"Let me take care of you." Lan Zhan said as he walked closer to Wei Ying.

Wei Ying then said agitatedly "Did I not make myself clear? You being here puts me in a difficult
position! My going to be husband is here for me! I don't need you!"

Lan Zhan noticed that Wei Ying still didn't know that his going to be husband was him. Still, he
frowned when he heard Wei Ying say "I don't need you." He knew it wasn't true but it didn't feel
nice listening to that. "Lies."

Wei Ying then said while tripping over his words a little "I'm... I'm not lying! I love him a lot. In
fact I... I don't love you at all! I'm over you!"

"Wei Ying!" Lan Zhan said loudly. The words sounded harsh to Lan Zhan, not what he wanted to
hear when he reunited with Wei Ying.

Wei Ying flinched a little. He had missed Lan Zhan calling out his name and yet Lan Zhan
sounded so fierce.

WWX: "Lan Zhan!... Leave, you shouldn't be here. Just go back to where you came from and leave
me alone won't you."

LWJ: "I won't. Actually, I am..."

"Just leave! Why must you keep pestering me? Leave me alone! I don't like you at all. Are you
satisfied? Will you leave me alone now?" Wei Ying shouted, thinking if Lan Zhan continued to
stay here, he might just drag him to Uncle Jiang and revoke the marriage.

Lan Zhan had a hurt expression. He really didn't like Wei Ying saying "I don't like you at all"
while pointing to him. He decided he needed to cool down and just said a "Why?" before leaving.

Soon, Jiang Yanli returned. "Eh? Is Lan Er Gong Zi not here yet?"

Wei Ying had a sad face. He whined, with tears at the edge of his eyes. "ShiJie... Lan Zhan came to
find me. He said he's here to take care of me but I said many hurtful words to him. If I see him
again, I really won't have the heart to let him go."

Jiang Yanli was surprised to find out that even though Lan Zhan came, Wei Ying still didn't know
that they were the same person. She didn't know whether she should be the person telling Wei
Ying or not. "A-Xian, don't be too harsh if you see him again. I support your decisions"

Hearing this, Wei Ying felt a little bit better. He then remembered what ShiJie said previously and
agreed that his parents would rather see him happy than force him to go through an arranged
marriage when he has someone he loves.

Since Lan Zhan had came to find him, maybe he could convince the Jiang Family that Lan Zhan is
better. Especially since he realised that he really can't live without Lan Zhan, and if he were to die,
he wouldn't be able to save the Jiang Family.

***

Lan Zhan had a colder face than usual. "Xiong Zhang, i'll walk around Yunmeng."

Lan Zhan hadn't had the time to explore this place as he was talking care of Wei Ying. He wanted
to see the place Wei Ying grew up in.

As he walked down the streets, it was crowded and noisy, with their talking the same as shouting.
Lan Zhan smiled a little thinking that this is why Wei Ying always talked so loudly.

Wei Ying who had been regretting chasing away Lan Zhan whom he had been missing so much,
took a walk around Yunmeng in hopes of finding Lan Zhan. He also didn't want to meet his
arranged partner yet.

Thankfully, Wei Ying caught side of his precious Lan Zhan and started following him around from
a distance. Wei Ying just wanted to look at Lan Zhan, even if its for a minute longer.

Wei Ying noticed the ring on Lan Zhan's finger and was so happy he wanted to approach Lan Zhan
but held himself back.

Soon after, he saw Lan Zhan renting a boat to tour around Lotus Lake. Drinking the wine he just
purchased, Wei Ying walked closer as he thought '... Just a boat ride. Just once. It'll be fine... right?'

Just then, two disciples from Gusu Lan Sect walked towards Lan Zhan and greeted "Lan Er Gong
Zi"

"PFFFFTT" Wei Ying spit out his wine and started coughing as he choked. Lan Zhan turned
around to see a choking Wei Ying with a shocked face.

Lan Zhan immediately rushed to Wei Ying and patted his back. "Are you alright?"

Wei Ying after recovering eyed Lan Zhan suspiciously. "You... You're Lan Er Gong Zi?"

Lan Zhan nodded his head and to his surprise, Wei Ying suddenly turned around and ran away.
Lan Zhan froze for a second then immediately gave chase.

Lan Zhan grabbed Wei Ying and turned him around, only to see tears falling down Wei Ying's face
uncontrollably, shocking Lan Zhan again.

"Why... Why are you crying?" Lan Zhan asked, feeling sad to see Wei Ying crying. He pulled Wei
Ying into an embrace.

Wei Ying looked up at Lan Zhan and simply cried even more, even harder. As people started
crowding around, Lan Zhan picked Wei Ying up bridal style and carried him to the boat.

Wei Ying buried his head in Lan Zhan's shoulders while crying, something he missed for so long.

In the boat, Wei Ying was sitting on Lan Zhan's lap as he sniffed. "Wei Ying, are you feeling
better?" Lan Zhan asked as he stroked Wei Ying's back.

"Lan Zhan, I hate you so much." Wei Ying said, in between his sniffs, while lightly hitting Lan
Zhan's chest.
Lan Zhan frowned and was about to say something when Wei Ying continued "I hate you... I
missed you so much... Very much..."

Lan Zhan smiled and hugged Wei Ying tightly. "Wei Ying, I've missed you too. I love you."

Wei Ying, with his head still buried in Lan Zhan's chest, then started sniffing the scent he missed
for so long. "Why did you cry?" Lan Zhan asked after Wei Ying calmed down a little.

"I missed you so much. Really. Lan Zhan, I was thinking how cruel fate is, playing with us like
that, making us go in circles. The moment it hit me that I could be with you I just felt so shocked
and grateful but upset for going through all those.

Then I thought how my parents had definitely picked the right person for me. Then I missed you so
much but said all those harsh and embarrassing things..." Wei Ying rambled on, explaining how he
was overwhelmed by emotions and cried.

Lan Zhan finally felt relaxed after so long, listening to Wei Ying rambling on like usual.
 Boat Ride

"Lan Zhan! Are you listening to me?" Wei Ying asked, lifting his head, revealing a blushing face.

Lan Zhan felt that his blushing face with a little tears at the corner of his eyes made his Wei Ying
look cuter. Lan Zhan said nothing but kiss Wei Ying.

Wei Ying was surprised at the sudden kiss but he was missing this a lot too, hence he returned it.

When they finally broke apart, Wei Ying who had been squirming around in Lan Zhan's lap (on
purpose), had turned Lan Zhan on.

"Lan Zhan, I want you... It's been so long..." Wei Ying said, feeling a little shy. He had so much he
wanted to do and say to Lan Zhan, but nothing more than being connected again, feeling the
warmth and closeness of his Lan Zhan.

"No, you're injured." Lan Zhan said firmly, holding himself back. He remembered kissing Wei
Ying till he fainted and didn't want Wei Ying to faint again.

Wei Ying got off Lan Zhan's lap and sat on the opposite bench, crossing his arms and pouting his
lips. He turned his face away from Lan Zhan. "We just reunited and you actually rejected me!"

Lan Zhan was so tempted to grab Wei Ying and place him on his lap but chanted in his mind 'Wei
Ying is injured, Wei Ying is injured'. Wei Ying sulked even more seeing Lan Zhan not doing
anything and suddenly, he had a good idea.

Wei Ying loosened his robes, pulled down his pants and lifted his legs up. Lan Zhan who sat on
the opposite could clearly see Wei Ying's hardened cock, and his hole, when Wei Ying separated
his butt cheeks.

Lan Zhan hitched a breath as he was even more turned on, his erected dick needing to find a release
in Wei Ying's hole.

Wei Ying saw Lan Zhan's face and knew that he had won this round. Just needed a little more...
"Lan Er Ge Ge, please?" Wei Ying said cutely.

Lan Zhan couldn't control himself anymore. He rushed forward to kiss Wei Ying and slammed his
palm against the inner layer of the boat so hard that the boat shook wildly.

Lan Zhan immediately started fingering Wei Ying. They had not done it for some time and Wei
Ying's hole was extremely tight.

"Lan Zhan~" Wei Ying whined as Lan Zhan fingered his hole, occasionally scrunching his face in
pain.

"Lan Zhan, quick, I want you!" Wei Ying exclaimed, while panting and moaning. "You're too
tight" Lan Zhan said as he finally inserted his third finger.

"Nghh... Quick... I don't want to AH! cum... Mnnn... without you in me!!" Wei Ying moaned. Lan
Zhan finally couldn't hold back anymore.

With one strong thrust, Lan Zhan forced his way into Wei Ying's tight hole. Though it wasn't the
deepest, it was deep enough for Wei Ying to feel Lan Zhan in him as he came. Wei Ying screamed
in pain and pleasure as he came.

Lan Zhan immediately continued his thrusting, making sensitive Wei Ying moan loudly. For the
first few thrusts, Wei Ying continued cumming, turning Lan Zhan on even more.

"Wei Ying!" Lan Zhan called out as he thrusted. He wanted to kiss Wei Ying so badly but didn't
want Wei Ying to have a... lack of air again.

Wei Ying moaned as he was continuously pleasured. His mind went blank and all he could feel
was Lan Zhan, till Lan Zhan started leaving his marks again.

"Ahh! Lan Zhan! Leave... Nghh... your marks... Ahh... Mnnn... Feels... Mnn... good... huff ahhh...
So good... Ahh... Mnnn... Nghh... Nghhh..." Wei Ying moaned.

Every word Wei Ying said made Lan Zhan thrust harder as he got bigger. Wei Ying came again
and Lan Zhan made sure that Wei Ying finished cumming before pulling out and releasing all over
Wei Ying's butt.

One thing Lan Zhan learned before they separated was that Wei Ying could and would cum
continuously if he continued thrusting.

Lan Zhan hadn't intended to release on Wei Ying's butt, knowing it somehow turned Wei Ying on.
Indeed, Wei Ying's face blushed red as his hole twitched.

"Lan Zhan~" Wei Ying called out, feeling horny.

"Wei Ying, you're injured" Lan Zhan said, gritting his teeth as he reached forward to leave more
marks on Wei Ying.

"Lan Zhan, I want you so badly! We have to make up for all those missed times. I... can handle it!"

Lan Zhan closed his eyes and continued leaving his marks on Wei Ying, holding on to the last, thin
thread of control. He did not want to go too hard on Wei Ying, especially since he's injured and
they haven't done it in a while.

Wei Ying moaned while calling out Lan Zhan's name, knowing it turned Lan Zhan on. When Lan
Zhan sucked Wei Ying's nipple, Wei Ying screamed out "Lan Er Ge Ge!"

With that, he was immediately thrusted into. Lan Zhan slammed his dick in and out, reaching deep
into Wei Ying while hitting all his sensitive spots.

Wei Ying clung onto Lan Zhan's shoulders and moaned in Lan Zhan's ear, making Lan Zhan grow
bigger in him.

They went for 4 rounds and Wei Ying passed out, sending Lan Zhan into a frenzy. Lan Zhan felt
bad for not controlling himself and tried making Wei Ying feel a little more comfortable by letting
Wei Ying lie on his lap.

Wei Ying woke up in Lan Zhan's arms, being carried bridal style. Wei Ying didn't make a fuss like
usual. Even if he were to be carried bridal style forever, as long as it is Lan Zhan, it's fine for Wei
Ying.

Wei Ying smiled seeing Lan Zhan and reached out his hands, hugging Lan Zhan's neck. Lan Zhan
looked at Wei Ying affectionately "You're awake?"
"Mn" Wei Ying replied "Where are we going?"

"Lotus Pier" Lan Zhan replied. Wei Ying leaned his head against Lan Zhan's chest and snuggled
comfortably.

He was so grateful that Lan Zhan was his husband to be. It still felt like a dream. For a second, he
thought it might be the dream demon's work.

"Lan Zhan, are you real?" Wei Ying asked.

 Disappointed

"Yes" Lan Zhan replied, unsure of why Wei Ying suddenly asked this question. Seeing uncertainty
in Wei Ying's eyes, Lan Zhan gave Wei Ying a kiss. "I'm real, I'm here and I will be forever"

Wei Ying smiled and decided to trust what he felt, especially the sharp pain in his butt. Wei Ying
was about to fall asleep when Lan Zhan called out to him.

"Wei Ying..."

"Yes, Lan Zhan?"

"Wei Ying, I love you."

"Mn!" Wei Ying replied happily and giggled.

Just then, they reached Lotus Pier. Lan XiChen and Jiang Cheng were talking and headed towards
them.

"Wei WuXian! Are you still a baby?! Why do you have to be carried?! Bridal style too!!" Jiang
Cheng scolded him.

"Hmph, you won't understand! You're just jealous!" Wei Ying said with a mocking tone.

"Xiong Zhang" Lan Zhan greeted Lan XiChen.

"You!" Jiang Cheng was about to smack Wei Ying when Lan XiChen grabbed his hand.

"WanYin, calm down" Lan XiChen said with a smile. Jiang Cheng "Hmph" while blushing a little.

"WangJi, looks like you've made up with Wei Gong Zi." Lan XiChen said with a smile. He knew
that something happend when he saw Lan Zhan's face in the morning.

"Mn" Lan Zhan replied.

"But... did something happen? Why do you look disappointed?" Lan XiChen asked.

Wei Ying immediately turned to Lan Zhan and gave a confused face. He then looked at Jiang
Cheng who was clueless too.

"It's nothing, Xiong Zhang, I'll bring Wei Ying in first." Lan Zhan replied, before bowing and
heading to Wei Ying's room.

When Lan Zhan placed Wei Ying on his bed, Wei Ying turned his head and pouted, refusing to
look at Lan Zhan. Lan Zhan was confused.

"Wei Ying... what's wrong?" Lan Zhan asked.

Wei Ying glared at the clueless Lan Zhan and hid himself under his blanket, pretending he's asleep.

"Wei Ying..." Lan Zhan said as he sat beside Wei Ying and placed one hand on Wei Ying's
shoulder.

Wei Ying shrugged his hand off and Lan Zhan felt a needle poking his heart. Turning Wei Ying
around, he pulled Wei Ying into a forceful kiss "What's wrong?"

Wei Ying panted, then sulked. "You... How does Lan Sect Leader know that you are
disappointed?! Why... are you disappointed?"

Wei Ying thought he had grown to understand Lan Zhan very well, and could claim that he knew
Lan Zhan best. However, he lost to Lan XiChen easily. Hence he felt guilty, upset and jealous.

"He's my brother, I'm not sure how he reads me so easily too." Lan Zhan answered.

Wei Ying continued sulking, not satisfied with that answer. Wei Ying sat up and cupped Lan
Zhan's face, staring intently.

"Show me your disapppinted face." Wei Ying said. Lan Zhan nodded his head and looked at Wei
Ying, but Wei Ying couldn't tell any difference.

"Why were you disappointed?" Wei Ying asked.

"Do you... remember our conversation earlier?" Lan Zhan asked.

"Which one?" Wei Ying asked.

"Wei Ying, I love you." Lan Zhan replied.

"Ahh, that. Why were you disappointed?" Wei Ying asked, but Lan Zhan kept quiet.

After looking into Lan Zhan's eyes for some time, Wei Ying gasped. "Ah! ... Don't tell me... Lan
Zhan! I love you too!"

Lan Zhan's eyes sparkled a little and Wei Ying smiled widely, finding a difference in Lan Zhan's
face. "Are you happy now?"

"Mn!" Lan Zhan replied and kissed Wei Ying.

Wei Ying blushed and pulled away "Sorry..."

"Wei Ying, I love you!" Lan Zhan said.

"Lan Zhan, I love you too! A lot! Very much! The most!" Wei Ying said, grinning happily.

Lan Zhan flashed a wide smile, a very quick one, but Wei Ying caught it and his heart thumped.
"Lan Zhan, don't you dare smile in front of others!"

"Mn" Lan Zhan replied happily and kissed Wei Ying. Soon, they were panting hard. Wei Ying
reached his hand and tugged on Lan Zhan's clothes.

Lan Zhan's eyes flickered with desire again but all of a sudden, Wei Ying's stomach grumbled
loudly. Wei Ying blushed.

After all, Wei Ying hadn't been eating much at all and was still very weak. He only finally grabbed
some buns and drank wine when following Lan Zhan.

Lan Zhan calmed himself and got up. "Lan Zhan! I want you" Wei Ying pouted.

Lan Zhan was weak to Wei Ying pouts. "Eat first." Lan Zhan said, trying hard to compress his
desire.
Sulking a little, Wei Ying felt that he really was hungry. "Lan Zhan! Carry me to the kitchen!"

Lan Zhan immediately picked Wei Ying up. Wei Ying giggled and buried his head in Lan Zhan's
chest. This is his current favourite position to be in.

When they were about to reach the kitchen, Wei Ying suddenly escaped Lan Zhan's embrace.
Excitedly, Wei Ying opened the door and walked in, bearing the pain on his lower back. "ShiJie~"

"A-Xian!" Yanli called out happily.

Wei Ying hugged Yanli "ShiJie~, it's for me right? I could smell your lotus root and pork rib soup
from outside!"

Yanli pat his back "Mn, drink as much as you want."

Meanwhile, Lan Zhan was standing at the door, eyes glaring with jealousy. He shuffled his feet to
make some noise.

Hearing it, Wei Ying then gasped "Ah, ShiJie, this is Lan Zhan, though you probably already know
him."

Yanli smiled and gave an "Mn, Lan Er Gong Zi, please sit, I'll get a bowl for you too."

"ShiJie!" Wei Ying whined. "Didn't you say it's all for me?"

Yanli chuckled as she placed two bowls on the table. "Drink up while it's hot."
 Don't

Wei Ying slurped it up despite the soup being very hot. "Ahhh, ShiJie, it's delicious! You're the
best!"

Yanli smiled and pat his head. "My Xian Xian is back."

"Mn!" Wei Ying chimed, grabbing another bowl of soup.

When they returned back to their room, Lan Zhan placed Wei Ying on the bed and hovered over
him, glaring at him. "What's wrong, Lan Zhan?" Wei Ying asked.

"You... Don't get too close to others." Lan Zhan said hesitantly.

As expected, after a moment of silence, Wei Ying started laughing. "Lan Zhan, I love only you!"

Lan Zhan was pleased to hear that but that wasn't the answer he wanted. "Wei Ying, don't get too
close to others."

"Lan Zhan, ShiJie is my sister." Wei Ying answered.

They have grown up this close, how can he just not get too close to his sister!

Lan Zhan looked at Wei Ying sadly. Wei Ying felt it and immediately coaxed Lan Zhan "Lan
Zhan, I love you the most. You'll be the closest to me so make sure i'm the closest to you too,
alright?"

Lan Zhan looked at Wei Ying and hesitantly compromised while standing up. Wei Ying still hadn't
promise to not get too close to others. "Alright..."

Wei Ying giggled at jealous Lan Zhan. "Alright, Lan Zhan, let's sleep."

Lan Zhan looked at Wei Ying without moving. "What's wrong?" Wei Ying asked.

Lan Zhan did not reply and continued staring at Wei Ying. "Ah! Lan Zhan! You can sleep here
too! I want to sleep in your arms!"

Wei Ying frowned, seeing Lan Zhan keeping quiet, not moving. Wei Ying then realised Lan Zhan
was fiddling with his hands.

"What's wrong?" Wei Ying said, looking back at Lan Zhan closely. "Ah! Why are you
disappointed again?"

Lan Zhan refused to say anything. Wei Ying gave up "Alright... I promise... I'll try to keep my
distance from them, alright?"

Lan Zhan nodded his head, feeling happier but said "Not that." Wei Ying was confused "Then
what?"

Lan Zhan shook his head "Let's go to sleep." and pulled Wei Ying under the covers. They usually
slept facing each other but this time, Lan Zhan hugged Wei Ying's back.

Wei Ying felt warm but wanted to snuggle against Lan Zhan's chest. Just as he was about to turn,
Lan Zhan sucked his neck, while tugging on the sleeves to expose more of Wei Ying's neck and
shoulders.

Wei Ying moaned as he squirmed about. He was very sensitive at his back and Lan Zhan seemed
to have figured that out long ago.

His squirming caused him to inevitably rub against Lan Zhan's dick as it started poking Wei Ying.
Wei Ying blushed. "Ah! Lan Zhan, Mnn, you wanted to Mnnn, have sex? You could have just
asked Mnn you know?"

Lan Zhan's ear turned red. "No..."

Wei Ying thought about it and remembered how Lan Zhan wouldn't talk dirty no matter how much
Wei Ying did.

Wei Ying turned around and pushed Lan Zhan. "Hey, Lan Er Ge Ge, if you want to have sex, you
have to ask."

Lan Zhan stared into Wei Ying's eyes. He reached his hand and fondled Wei Ying's hardened cock.
"Can I?"

Wei Ying saw Lan Zhan's eyes brighten up. "No, you have to say what you want." Wei Ying said,
insisting on making Lan Zhan say the word 'sex'.

Unexpectedly, Lan Zhan dived into Wei Ying's neck and chest and started leaving his marks, while
stroking Wei Ying's cock.

"Nghh! Lan Zhan! Say it! Nghh!" Wei Ying struggled to say through the pleasure.

"Wei Ying, you say it. What do you want?" Lan Zhan asked.

"Lan Zhan, Mnn! You say it!" Wei Ying insisted.

Just as Wei Ying was feeling very very very pleasured, Lan Zhan stop and sat up. "Wei Ying, what
do you want?"

Wei Ying pouted at Lan Zhan. "I want you to say what you want!"

Lan Zhan got off the bed "Wei Ying, if you don't want anything, I'm going back."

Wei Ying was shocked. Now he was the one being trapped. "Lan Zhan! You tell me what you want
to do with me!"

Lan Zhan turned around and started walking out. Wei Ying cursed in his mind. 'Lan Zhan! How
can you just leave me like this!'

Lan Zhan had thought that Wei Ying would chase after him while Wei Ying thought that Lan Zhan
would come back. Lan Zhan sadly walked back to his prepared room and jerked off to Wei Ying
while Wei Ying angrily yet pleasuredly jerked off to Lan Zhan.

Collapsing on his bed, tired Wei Ying sighed 'Lan Zhan... that wasn't enough...'

The next day, Lan Zhan hadn't gone to find Wei Ying and Wei Ying was so mad he pretended not
to be looking for Lan Zhan while walking around.

Wei Ying spent time talking with Jiang Yanli and found out about Wen Qing. Soon, evening
reached. Wei Ying had walked everywhere but Lan Zhan's prepared room. Wei Ying didn't want to
back down this time.

Sulking, he dragged Jiang Cheng to the woods right beside Lotus Pier. "Jiang Cheng, Lan Zhan
doesn't want me anymore."

"You're so dramatic and annoying, i'm surprised he even bothered with you!" Jiang Cheng said
with his usual sarcastic and annoyed tone.

"Tch, at least he bothers with me! I bet he won't even bother with you!" Wei Ying talked back,
while kicking a few rocks.

"You!" Jiang Cheng widened his eyes snd wanted to smack Wei Ying when Lan XiChen called out
from behind "WanYin, Wei Gong Zi".
 Say It

Wei Ying turned around to see Lan XiChen walking towards them and Lan Zhan following behind.
'Finally! He finally comes to find me!'

"Lan Huan, Lan Er Gong Zi" Jiang Cheng greeted.

"Lan Sect Leader" Wei Ying greeted then he looked at Lan Zhan "Hmph! What are you doing
here?"

Seeing Lan Zhan silent, XiChen replied "I'm supposed to meet here with WanYin. WangJi was
with me so I asked him along."

XiChen had been with Lan Zhan the whole day and knew that something was up, but Lan Zhan
refused to say.

Wei Ying sulked even more. Lan Zhan wasn't here to find him, and the three of them had plans
together! Meanwhile, Jiang Cheng was shocked. He thought that it would only be him and Lan
XiChen.

Lan Zhan looked at Wei Ying who was angry. However he thought about it, he just couldn't bring
himself to say such... indecent, shameless and embarrassing words. "Wei Ying..."

"Are you going to say it?" Wei Ying asked, glaring at Lan Zhan.

"..." Lan Zhan kept silent and slightly shook his head. Wei Ying got angry. "Wei Ying, let's talk"
Lan Zhan said, walking towards Wei Ying.

"No!" Wei Ying shouted and took a step back. "I'm not going to listen to anything else! Go away!"

Lan Zhan stood there for a while, then turned around and started walking away. Wei Ying was
mad 'How can Lan Zhan really walk away?'

"Lan Zhan! Stupid Lan Zhan! You stupid meanie! I want to have sex with you all the time! Every
month, every week, everyday and every hour! I want to be connected with you! Why can't you just
say the same things back?! It's not like it kills you!!! You stupid mean old fashioned boy!!" Wei
Ying shouted.

Lan Zhan stopped and didn't move. XiChen and Jiang Cheng were shocked by what they heard.

"Wei WuXian! You shameless! Keep this topic in your bedroom! Why are you shouting about such
things so loudly?!" Jiang Cheng scolded, reaching forward to smack Wei Ying, but was stopped by
XiChen.

Giving Jiang Cheng his charming gentle smile, XiChen said "WanYin, let's go" while lightly
dragging a blushing Jiang Cheng.

There was a silence there. Seeing Lan Zhan not doing or saying anything, Wei Ying stormed away
"Meanie! Since you won't, i'll find others!"

Lan Zhan heard this and his chest tightened. "Wei Ying!" He shouted but Wei Ying had already
ran off, into the direction of the town. Lan Zhan who definitely won't let others touch Wei Ying,
immediately gave chase.
Wei Ying of course, would never cheat on Lan Zhan. Even if he said such words in anger, he
wouldn't have actually done it. He ran into Yunmeng town, thinking what he should do.

Wei Ying then caught sight of his favourite wine store. Just what he needed! Some alcohol in him.

As he was about to enter, a man was kicked out from the door, landing into his arms. "Fourth
Shidi! What happened?" Confused Wei Ying cried out.

Fourth Shidi then clung onto Wei Ying "Da ShiXiong! My crush rejected me!"

Wei Ying sighed. He thought that someone was picking a fight with Fourth Shidi. Wei Ying felt a
glare on his left and turned his head, seeing an angry Lan Zhan walking over.

Before Lan Zhan or Wei Ying could do anything, more of the Yunmeng Jiang Sect disciples came
pouring out.

Most of them were terribly drunk and got excited when they saw Wei Ying. "Da Shi Xiong!!",
"Where are we?", "You're here, let's drink!", "Fourth Shidi got dumped!!"

Lan Zhan who was a distance away immediately stormed over and teared all the disciples away
from Wei Ying. Lan Zhan had misunderstood the situation.

"Wei Ying! You can only have sex with me!" Lan Zhan said in a fit of anger, then dragged Wei
Ying away, despite everyone's shocked faces and stares.

Wei Ying was happy that Lan Zhan finally said it but, he needed to take care of his fellow
disciples. "Lan Zhan! Hold on! Wait!" Wei Ying said as he struggled to break free.

Lan Zhan was raging, wondering if Wei Ying really didn't want him and preferred those man.
"Those are Yunmeng Jiang Sect disciples! They must have sneaked out!" Wei Ying tried
explaining.

Lan Zhan then slowed down. He didn't recognise them as they weren't wearing their uniforms and
Lan Zhan hadn't bothered interacting with them as he was taking care of Wei Ying the whole time
he was here.

Lan Zhan faced Wei Ying. "So? We're going to have our sex now."

Wei Ying smiled "Lan Zhan, you finally said it, but I need to bring them back first! They'll get in
trouble for sneaking out!"

Lan Zhan frowned, unwilling to move. He wanted to do Wei Ying right now and didn't want the
other disciples to cling onto Wei Ying.

"Lan Zhan... after we bring them back, let's have sex" Wei Ying whispered.

Lan Zhan looked around and saw a bullock cart. He immediately rented it and dragged all the
disciples onto the cart and hurried back to Lotus Pier.

Reaching Lotus Pier, he grabbed Wei Ying's hand and pulled him towards the room. "Wait!" Wei
Ying exclaimed. "We can't leave them there!"

Lan Zhan, beneath his calm face, was filled with impatience. He dragged them to one of their
rooms and left all of them there, despite Wei Ying's protest.
 Like

Reaching back to Wei Ying's room, Lan Zhan immediately pulled Wei Ying to the bed and let out
a low grumble. Now that no one was here to look at or touch his Wei Ying, Lan Zhan relaxed a
little and hugged Wei Ying tightly.

"Wei Ying, you're mine... you promised not to let others get too close to you." Lan Zhan sulked.

Wei Ying giggled and hugged Lan Zhan back. "Lan Zhan, I'll try not to, alright?"

Lan Zhan reluctantly nodded his head. Wei Ying thought he would be angry at Lan Zhan for some
time but an angry and jealous Lan Zhan made him happy. It is how Lan Zhan shows his love.

"Lan Zhan, do you love me?" Wei Ying asked.

"Wei Ying, I love only you." Lan Zhan replied as he got up, staring into Wei Ying's eyes.

"Lan Zhan, I love only you too!" Wei Ying exclaimed, reaching his hands out to give him a kiss.

Lan Zhan reached his hands under Wei Ying's robes. "Lan Zhan, what are you doing?" Wei Ying
asked.

"Wei Ying, can we... have... have... sex?" Lan Zhan asked back.

"Of course! Anytime u want!" Wei Ying replied, smirking, then resumed the kiss.

This time, while making love, they kept saying their feelings. How much they love each other, that
they only belong to each other, that they are the closest to each other, physically and emotionally.

After going 3 rounds, Wei Ying was exhausted. Lan Zhan decided not to push him too hard, or he
would have to wait for 2 days.

Staring at the ceiling with Wei Ying panting in his arms, Lan Zhan asked a question he had been
wanting to ask. "Wei Ying, why did you not run away?"

"Hmm, where should I start..." Wei Ying said while thinking.

"Slowly" Lan Zhan said as he gave Wei Ying a forehead kiss.

"Mn, there are quite a few reasons. The marriage was arranged by my parents and I really feel that
I owe a lot to the Yunmeng Jiang Sect. In fact, they actually encouraged me to run away with you."
Wei Ying said as he interlocked his hands with Lan Zhan.

"But... that's not the biggest reason. Lan Zhan, remember the nightmare I had a few nights before
we separated?" Wei Ying asked.

Lan Zhan nodded his head. Wei Ying took a deep breath while burying his head in Lan Zhan's
shoulders. "Actually... in my nightmare Uncle Jiang, Madam Yu and ShiJie, along with the other
disciples all died. Jiang Cheng fell into despair. I helplessly watched everything happen... I couldn't
do anything!"

Wei Ying then continued with his eyes tearing up. "I can't... Lan Zhan, it hurts so much to see them
like that. For some reason, I felt like it was my fault too.
The dream felt more real than reality. Really! I couldn't leave them behind... If I were to run away
with you, I probably wouldn't be able to stay here anymore... then I can't protect them..."

Lan Zhan hugged Wei Ying tighter. Feeling Lan Zhan tighten his embrace, Wei Ying smiled. "Lan
Zhan, you know? After I left you there, it hurt much more. The only reason why I saw a purpose in
living was because I wanted to protect Yunmeng Jiang Sect.

That was the reason I left you after all. I felt that it would be too ridiculous to die without
protecting them."

"Wei Ying, I'm here with you" Lan Zhan said as he rubbed Wei Ying's back. Wei Ying smiled. "I
know, thank you, Lan Zhan."

"Also... I heard how you took care of me... I'm sorry, I really am. Lan Zhan, I'm really sorry" Wei
Ying kept repeating.

Lan Zhan shook his head and whispered "Don't be sorry to me"

Wei Ying hugged Lan Zhan tighter and said "Lan Zhan, I love you and i'm grateful to you but I
really am sorry. I really didn't want to leave you..."

"Wei Ying, don't ever leave me behind again. I'll always protect you." Lan Zhan said, showering
Wei Ying with pecks. Wei Ying smiled and replied "Mn, Lan Zhan, you can't leave me behind
either."

Suddenly, Wei Ying giggled. "Why are you giggling?" Lan Zhan asked curiously.

"Actually... I knew my partner would be called WangJi. Just imagine, if the name you told me was
WangJi or if I had asked... we would have known earlier!! and wouldn't... wouldn't have to go
through this..." Wei Ying started happily but felt a little sad later on.

Lan Zhan flipped Wei Ying and hugged him. When he comforts Wei Ying, he lies down on Wei
Ying, which Wei Ying likes. "It's fine, we're together now."

Wei Ying, feeling the weight and warmth of his favourite person pressing down on him, felt
comforted. Usually he would have gotten turned on but... this time he was too tired and fell asleep
like that.

Meanwhile, Jiang Cheng was talking to Jiang Yanli. "Jie, do you think I can go to Cloud Recesses
with Lan Huan earlier?"

Yanli nodded her head "There's still one month before classes start though."

Seeing Jiang Cheng blushing and keeping quiet, Yanli smiled. "A-Cheng, looks like you really like
Lan Sect Leader."

"Wh-What?! I... No... I'll head back first, night Jie" Jiang Cheng stuttered and ran away.

Jiang Yanli giggled and walked back to her room.

She had noticed when they first started calling each other closely.

She realised Jiang Cheng started blushing often when he's around Lan XiChen and she noticed that
Lan XiChen was often looking at Jiang Cheng.

That night Jiang Cheng laid in bed thinking and figured that... he probably... really liked Lan
XiChen.
 Get Together

The next day, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan walked around Yunmeng Town with Jiang Cheng and Lan
XiChen.

They got on a boat to travel to a nearby town. They then explored the town, playing around, eating
food and enjoying themselves.

The whole day, Jiang Cheng was scolding Wei Ying for being too clingy to Lan Zhan while Lan
XiChen held Jiang Cheng back from hitting Wei Ying.

Jiang Cheng finally snapped when they were having dinner. He couldn't stand his shamelessness
and the looks they received from others.

Wei Ying had climbed onto Lan Zhan's lap. "Lan Er Ge Ge, feed me!" Lan Zhan happily picked up
his chopstick to feed Wei Ying.

"Wei WuXian! You're so shameless!" Jiang Cheng huffed "Are your hands for decorations?! You
have your own seat too!"

"Jiang Cheng! Stop being jealous!" Wei Ying replied and opened his mouth for another mouthful
of food.

Jiang Cheng took a peek at Lan XiChen who was smiling at him and blushed. "Nonsense! Eat
properly!"

Wei Ying looked at Jiang Cheng who was blushing then looked at Lan XiChen who was smiling
at Jiang Cheng and got an idea.

"Jiang Cheng! You can ask Lan Sect Leader to feed you!" Wei Ying exclaimed, before opening his
mouth again for another spoonful of food.

Jiang Cheng frantically turned to look at Lan XiChen's reaction and blushed harder. Lan XiChen
smiled and said "WanYin, want me to feed you?"

Jiang Cheng was shocked and didn't know how to respond. "I... I..." He blushed and turned his
attention to Wei Ying. "Wei WuXian! Stop speaking nonsense! We're not even together!"

Wei Ying casually said "Then get together."

Jiang Cheng's face turned beet red and he felt like his brain was fried. Lan XiChen kept silent,
observing Jiang Cheng's reactions.

Lan Zhan had already guessed that something was going on between them and internally sighed at
Wei Ying's oblivion.

Wei Ying noticed the silence and continued "Jiang Cheng, Lan Sect Leader is really a good match
for you.

Look, you always wanted someone naturally beautiful, graceful and obedient, hard-working and
thrifty, comes from a respected family, personality not too strong..."

"Wei WuXian, shut up!" Jiang Cheng interrupted Wei Ying. Lan XiChen held Jiang Cheng's hand,
preventing him from smacking Wei Ying. Lan Zhan had also shielded Wei Ying, not wanting him
to get hit even though it was a playful slap.

Seeing that he was safe, Wei Ying continued "and also voice not too loud, doesn't talk too much,
cultivation level not too high and doesn't spend too much money... Look! Lan Sect Leader fits right
there! Other than cultivation level not too high... But if you train and catch up then it won't be too
high!"

Lan XiChen was smiling, happy to learn he was so close to being Jiang Cheng's ideal type while
Jiang Cheng was blushing, silently cursing Wei Ying for being such a big mouth.

"Oh, but Lan Sect Leader might not want you" Wei Ying joked. "Lan Sect Leader, what do you
think of Jiang Cheng?"

Scared of hearing negative things or rejections, Jiang Cheng shouted "I'll go back first!" and ran out
of the restaurant.

Wei Ying laughed at him while Lan Zhan asked "Xiong Zhang, aren't you chasing after him?"

Lan XiChen shook his head and sighed as he said "I have to head back to Cloud Recesses", then
stood up and turned towards the door.

Before leaving, he paused and turned back to them and said with a smile "Wei Gong Zi, next time I
would like to hear more about WanYin"

Lan XiChen then left them alone, sighing to himself. He had wanted to ask Jiang Cheng if he
wanted to go to Cloud Recesses before the classes started but... he missed the chance as Jiang
Cheng ran out.

Wei Ying paused in confusion then looked up at Lan Zhan. Lan Zhan looked at this hopeless
matchmaker and said "Xiong Zhang likes Jiang Gong Zi"

Wei Ying immediately gave a shocked face. After some time he mumbled "Wow! I never knew..."

Lan Zhan looked at him and continued "Jiang Gong Zi likes him too", which made Wei Ying more
shocked than shock.

"Lan Zhan! Who told you that?" Wei Ying asked curiously, wondering why he was left out and
clueless about it.

"... Wei Ying, I observed it." Lan Zhan replied then gave a cute clueless Wei Ying a kiss.

Wei Ying found it hard to process and decided not to bother with it. Grinning, he looked at Lan
Zhan "Lan Er Ge Ge, let's stay here for a night."

Lan Zhan nodded his head and picked his things up while pulling Wei Ying to an inn he had
already booked.

"Ehh?!?! Lan Er Ge Ge, so you've already wanted to stay here for a night!" Wei Ying exclaimed in
surprise.

"Mn" Lan Zhan replied, entering the bedroom.

"Lan Zhan, you're so naughty" Wei Ying teased.

Lan Zhan looked away, feeling a little bit of heat rising to his ears. "It's not like that..."
Wei Ying then roamed his hands all over Lan Zhan and continued "Are you sure~? Then why did
you book a room huh?"

Before Lan Zhan could reply, Wei Ying gently squeezed his dick, making Lan Zhan swallow his
words. "Wei Ying!" He growled.

Wei Ying then ran to the other side of the room "Hehe, Lan Er Ge Ge, you have to catch me!"

Lan Zhan walked towards Wei Ying, making Wei Ying run to the other side of the room. After
running about the room for a few rounds, Wei Ying ran to the bed and Lan Zhan pounced on him.

"Lan Er Ge Ge, you couldn't catch me so I let you catch me! It's not counted!" Wei Ying said in
defence.

"It is" Lan Zhan said, looking into Wei Ying's eyes. He gave Wei Ying a kiss and buried his head
in Wei Ying's shoulders.

"Hehe it tickles, Lan Zhan" Wei Ying giggled.

Lan Zhan squeezed Wei Ying tightly, not letting go of his precious lover. Wei Ying felt it and
asked "Lan Zhan, what's wrong?"
 I Want You

Head still buried in Wei Ying's shoulder, Lan Zhan said "Wei Ying, I love you"

Hugging Lan Zhan back, Wei Ying smiled and said "Lan Zhan, I love you too!" while rubbing his
back.

"Wei Ying... I love you so much. I'll protect you and hold you forever. Don't put yourself in danger
okay?" Lan Zhan mumbled.

He had been scared out of his wits when Wei Ying got injured. He felt knew he couldn't lose Wei
Ying.

Wei Ying then remembered his ShiJie telling him about what happened when he was unconcious.

Wrapping his legs around Lan Zhan to hug him like a koala bear, Wei Ying replied "I won't, Lan
Zhan. Thank you for doing so much for me, I'm the blessed one. I really love you a lot too. I don't
think I can fall in love with anyone else anymore."

Lan Zhan was happy to hear that and said "Mn, you can't (fall in love with others)"

Wei Ying then giggled "Lan Er Ge Ge, how did you get hard during this conversation"

Lan Zhan remained in Wei Ying's embrace, but felt the heat rising in his face. "I..."

"Lan Er Ge Ge, let's do it" Wei Ying said with a chuckle.

Lan Zhan was torn between hugging Wei Ying and doing it. In the end, he decided he could do
both.

Lan Zhan slowly rubbed his groin against Wei Ying's ass while still hugging him and kissing him.

Wei Ying clung onto Lan Zhan while Lan Zhan squeezed his hands in between their bodies to open
up their robes.

It was hard to finger Wei Ying in that position so Lan Zhan flipped them over and Wei Ying laid on
Lan Zhan.

Lan Zhan then used both hands to spread Wei Ying's butt cheeks and started fingering him. Wei
Ying felt shy and buried his head in Lan Zhan's shoulders while panting.

Wei Ying felt like he was going to cum soon, hence he said "Lan Zhan, put it in..."

Lan Zhan also wanted to put his dick in so he flipped them over again and while hugging Wei
Ying, he thrusted in.

Wei Ying shouted and moaned at the initial intrusion of Lan Zhan, then started giggling. "Lan
Zhan, it's so funny to keep flipping over, we can just hug later."

Lan Zhan who stopped due to Wei Ying's sudden laughter started thrusting in again and said "Not
enough, Wei Ying, I want to hug you every second of my life"

Wei Ying hugged Lan Zhan while Lan Zhan continued thrusting fiercely into Wei Ying. "Lan...
Zhan... Mnn Ahhh I... I love Mnnn you! Mnnn... Nghhh"
Lan Zhan lifted himself and said "Wei Ying, I love you", then kissed Wei Ying.

After going for 3 rounds, Lan Zhan stopped. Wei Ying was tired but curious. "Lan Er Ge Ge, only
3 rounds for today?"

Lan Zhan tried not to get hard and kissed Wei Ying. "Let's stop here today" Lan Zhan said,
cleaning Wei Ying up quick.

Lan Zhan then immediately hugged Wei Ying again. Wei Ying enjoyed every moment of seeing
his Lan Zhan being clingy.

Pulling Wei Ying under the covers in a tight hug, Lan Zhan stroked Wei Ying's back and Wei Ying
snuggled comfortably against Lan Zhan's chest.

"Happy birthday, Wei Ying. I'm grateful to your parents for giving birth to you on this day and
arranging a marriage with me. I love you, Wei Ying. I want to stay by your side forever, protect
you forever and love you forever. I know that I'll only love you and I feel very blessed to receive
your love. Wei Ying, I love you, happy birthday" Lan Zhan said while looking in Wei Ying's eyes,
then gave him a kiss on the forehead and on his lips.

Wei Ying's heart felt warm beyond words and it was beating as if he just ran for thousands of
kilometres. Giggling but blushing, Wei Ying said "Lan Zhan, this is the most I've ever heard you
say at once! How did you know?"

"Maiden Jiang told me" Lan Zhan replied.

"You hung out with ShiJie?" Wei Ying asked in surprise.

Lan Zhan slightly shook his head "When you were unconscious, she often came to talk to you.
Since I was there, she told me many stories and things about you."

Wei Ying smiled at the thought of his ShiJie being so supportive, but got a little afraid of what
stories she shared. He hoped she didn't share any of his many embarrassing moments.

"Lan Zhan, I'm more blessed that you love me. I would never think that a handsome, strong, stiff,
strict, old fashioned, poker face man like you would like me" Wei Ying said while giggling,
making Lan Zhan frown slightly at Wei Ying's description of him.

"But you're patient, caring, loving, and very understanding. You're a man of justice and has his
own way of thinking. Your possessiveness makes me fall in love with you even more. You're the
best I can ever ask for. Lan Zhan, I love you, thank you for being with me. I want you to protect
me, love me and stay with me forever" Wei Ying said grinning.

Lan Zhan flashed a smile and replied "Mn!", then peppered Wei Ying with kisses. "Wei Ying, what
do you want for your birthday?"

"I want you, Lan Zhan!" Wei Ying said grinning. Lan Zhan's eyes sparkled with happiness, lust
and desire. "Wei Ying..."

"Lan Er Ge Ge, we have been doing it everyday for at least 5 times! You stopped at 3, I can handle
more!" Wei Ying whispered with a flirty tone.

Lan Zhan wanted to hug Wei Ying to sleep but was immensely turned on. While he was thinking of
controlling himself, Wei Ying had already loosened his own robes.
Struggling out of Lan Zhan's grip, he took off his robes, laid face down on the bed and stuck his
ass up. "Lan Er Ge Ge, quick, you don't have to finger me if we do it now"

Lan Zhan opened his eyes to a seductive Wei Ying. Immediately, he hovered over Wei Ying while
rubbing his dick against Wei Ying's hole, making Wei Ying groan.

"Lan Zhan... aren't you putting it in?" Wei Ying asked. He got hard just by Lan Zhan's rubbing.

Lan Zhan didn't reply and started kissing Wei Ying's sensitive back, licking and sucking and
lightly biting, leaving his marks all over. His hands trailed to Wei Ying's chest as he played with
Wei Ying's nipples.
 It's Nice

Wei Ying was a moaning mess while begging Lan Zhan to put it in but Lan Zhan ignored him and
was busy leaving his marks while rubbing his dick against Wei Ying's ass. "Lan Er Mnnn Ge Ge!
Nghh, quick... Mnn... I want ahh you mnnn! quick... Lan Zhan... Mnnn... Lan Er Ge Ge..."

Usually Lan Zhan would have already thrusted in but Lan Zhan had an important mission to cover
Wei Ying with his marks. His front was already covered from earlier so Lan Zhan had to mark Wei
Ying's back.

With a gentle bite and suck at Wei Ying's neck while squeezing his nipples, Wei Ying came
"Nghhh!"

Lan Zhan was surprised by this. Wei Ying's hole had widened without him doing anything and was
desperately twitching for Lan Zhan, wet from Lan Zhan's precum.

Lan Zhan hadn't thrusted in Wei Ying nor touched his cock but Wei Ying had came. Wei Ying felt
embarrassed. Huffing while panting, Wei Ying scolded "Lan Zhan! Why didn't you put it in!"

"Sorry..." Lan Zhan said while grabbing Wei Ying's cock and stroking it. Wei Ying started
moaning "No... Mnnn Don't... Ahhh. Don't touch... Nghh it's sensitive... Nghh Lan Zhan"

Even though it was sensitive, with Lan Zhan's rubbing, Wei Ying felt immensely pleasure as his
cock became hard.

Lan Zhan then thrusted into Wei Ying. "Ahh! Er Ge Ge! Ahhh hahh hahh... Nghhh... There...
Deeper... Mnn"

Lan Zhan pulled out then flipped Wei Ying around to kiss him, then continued thrusting quicker
and faster. Wei Ying who was on the verge of cumming moaned "Nghhh!!!"

However, his moans didn't stop there. Lan Zhan continued thrusting in him and with each thrust,
more white liquid shot out in between their bodies. By the time Wei Ying stopped cumming, Lan
Zhan then pulled out and released on Wei Ying, from his dick to his ass and butt cheeks. Which
made Wei Ying blush, as usual.

Lan Zhan was immensely turned on from the scene of Wei Ying, flushing red, panting, with both
their cum all over his body, from his chest to his ass.

Lan Zhan kissed Wei Ying as he rubbed their cum over Wei Ying's chest, rubbing his nipple,
making Wei Ying moan and groan.

"Lan Er Ge Ge, one more time" Wei Ying said, his dick standing up under Lan Zhan's touches and
Lan Zhan's cum on his butt.

Lan Zhan gladly complied as he thrusted into Wei Ying again. They went on and on till Wei Ying
was truly exhausted and asked for a time out.

Lan Zhan who felt full and satisfied hugged Wei Ying as they both fell asleep. Then next morning,
Lan Zhan woke up first.

He looked at Wei Ying with adoration. If Lan Zhan could shoot hearts out of his eyes, the whole
room would have already long been covered in them.
All of a sudden, he noticed that Wei Ying's face was getting redder and redder and Wei Ying's
breath was getting faster and faster. Lan Zhan immediately got worried and looked at Wei Ying
closely, wondering if he should wake Wei Ying up.

Suddenly, Wei Ying uttered "Lan Zhan..."

Lan Zhan reached out to touch Wei Ying's forehead. It wasn't hot. Lan Zhan then scanned Wei
Ying to figure out what was wrong and to his surprise, Wei Ying was squirming around, pressing
his legs together.

Removing the blanket and loosening his robes made the cool morning air rush to Wei Ying's body.
Lan Zhan blushed at the sight of Wei Ying's cock hardening while Wei Ying panted, calling "Lan
Zhan..."

Lan Zhan was relieved that Wei Ying wasn't sick. He pressed a kiss on Wei Ying's lips, then
slowly found his way in and rolled his tongue with Wei Ying's. He then used his right hand to play
with Wei Ying's nipples while using his left hand to caress Wei Ying's thigh.

"Nghhh... Lan Zhan... Mnnn" Wei Ying moaned as precum started dripping from his cock. Lan
Zhan was turned on as he wondered what Wei Ying was dreaming about.

Lan Zhan was so engrossed in leaving his marks on Wei Ying's neck and sucking his nipples that
he didn't realize Wei Ying's eyes had fluttered open.

"Lan Zhan..." Wei Ying called out sleepily but Lan Zhan thought Wei Ying was still moaning in
his dream.

Lan Zhan flinched when Wei Ying placed a hand on Lan Zhan's back and looked up in shock, with
a hint of guiltiness at getting caught doing something wrong.

"Lan Zhan, you're excited so early in the morning?" Wei Ying asked.

Lan Zhan kept silent, not knowing if he should tell Wei Ying or not. Wei Ying then continued "Er
Ge Ge, stop stroking my thighs and touch my cock, please?"

Lan Zhan then reached down and gently wrapped his hand around Wei Ying's cock. Wei Ying
"Ngghhh!" in response.

Lan Zhan then kissed Wei Ying's cock and started licking the tip, making Wei Ying moan "Lan
Zhan... Ahhh... Mnnn"

Lan Zhan licked the sides of Wei Ying's dick then sucked it. Wei Ying threw his head back as one
of his hands gripped the sheets tightly while the other ruffled through Lan Zhan's hair.

Wei Ying flipped Lan Zhan over and took off his pants. Lan Zhan watched as Wei Ying stroked his
dick, then sucked it too. He then continued sucking Wei Ying.

"Nghh!" Wei Ying moaned loudly as he came. "Lan Zhan! You shouldn't swallow it!"

Lan Zhan looked at Wei Ying and pulled him up, caressing his face while saying "Wei Ying,
anything about you, all, it's nice"

Wei Ying blushed and hugged Lan Zhan. Then giving Lan Zhan a kiss, he laid back down "Lan Er
Ge Ge, you're not done right?"
Lan Zhan's breath hitched as he muttered "Wei Ying...". His fingers reached down and entered Wei
Ying's hole, gently yet impatiently thrusting into Wei Ying.
 I Have Money

In no time, three fingers went in and Wei Ying's cock had stood upright. "Wei Ying... you're
sucking so tightly" Lan Zhan mumbled, desperately wanting to exchange his fingers with his dick.

Wei Ying blushed "Lan Zhan, you... you finally... Mnnn... talked dirty"

Lan Zhan couldn't wait anymore "Wei Ying, can I put it in?"

Wei Ying smiled and reached his hands out to wrap around Lan Zhan's neck. "Anytime, Lan Er Ge
Ge" Wei Ying teased and Lan Zhan quickly replaced his fingers with his dick.

"Wei Ying... huff... Wei Ying... I love you!" Lan Zhan said as he thrusted into Wei Ying.

"Nghh... Lan Zhan... Lan Er... Mnnn Ge Ge... I... Ahh I love you... Mnn too!" Wei Ying tried to
reply through his uncontrollable moans.

They went for 3 rounds as Lan Zhan still wanted to walk around with Wei Ying. He didn't want
Wei Ying to end up falling asleep or unable to walk.

After cleaning both of them up and dressing Wei Ying, Lan Zhan interlocked his hands with Wei
Ying and gave him a kiss. "Happy birthday, Wei Ying."

Wei Ying grinned and let Lan Zhan drag him into the streets. He wanted to hug Lan Zhan but he
didn't mind letting everyone know that Lan Zhan is his first.

Wei Ying swung their interlocked hands between them, showing off to everyone that Lan Zhan is
his.

They went from stalls to stalls, eating whatever that looked yummy. Lan Zhan smiled to himself
while watching Wei Ying hop about.

Wei Ying pulled Lan Zhan over to a stall. "Look! Isn't this nice?" Wei Ying asked excitedly.

Lan Zhan nodded his head and bought the item without any hesitation. Wei Ying was shocked but
happily accepted it.

They walked to the next stall and Wei Ying picked up a golden rabbit figurine to look closely. He
placed it down and hopped to the next stall. When he turned around to find Lan Zhan, he saw Lan
Zhan buying it.

Wei Ying looked at Lan Zhan weirdly but continued to the next stall. After going past a few stalls,
Wei Ying realised something. Lan Zhan had been buying everything he touched or looked intently
at or complimented!

Wei Ying was shocked and dragged Lan Zhan aside. "Lan Zhan! Why did you buy all of them?! I
don't need it, you didn't have to! You should save more money!"

Lan Zhan kept Wei Ying quiet by saying "I have money". Wei Ying decided then to minimise his
pointing and praising.

Lan Zhan wanted to spoil Wei Ying and this was just the beginning. He would do so for the rest of
his life. Though Wei Ying complained about the amount of items bought, he was secretly enjoying
being spoiled by Lan Zhan.
They ended up having a mountain of things and had to head back to the inn to drop them off before
exploring further.

As they walked around, further away from the street stalls, Wei Ying pointed to Lan Zhan and said
"This is nice."

Lan Zhan moved closer to Wei Ying and said "I'm already yours. Free." Wei Ying grinned "Hehe,
alright then"

Lan Zhan felt a little disappointed that Wei Ying just walked away and pulled him back. "Lan
Zhan, what are you..." Wei Ying said but was stopped by Lan Zhan's lips.

They were at the side of the streets and Lan Zhan held onto Wei Ying tightly, kissing him.

The soft, gentle kiss soon turned into aggressive and needy, with Wei Ying clinging onto Lan
Zhan's shirt.

Their tongues rolled about and Wei Ying's legs soon

turned wobbly as he held onto Lan Zhan for support.

Lan Zhan was leading the kiss and while he used one hand to support Wei Ying, his other hand
was roaming about Wei Ying.

"Huff... Lan Zhan... Air... Huff... Mnn... Not... Here... Huff" Wei Ying said as he gasped for air.

Lan Zhan pulled Wei Ying's collar and left his marks while Wei Ying recovered his breathing.
"Lan Zhan, you can't turn me on here" Wei Ying said.

Lan Zhan calmed himself and unwillingly separated from Wei Ying. He wanted to spend the whole
day with Wei Ying.

Wei Ying saw Lan Zhan's bulge and gulped. Grinning, he dragged Lan Zhan into an alley. "What
is it?" Lan Zhan asked.

Wei Ying cupped Lan Zhan's bulge and said "You're hard." Lan Zhan's breath hitched feeling Wei
Ying's hands. "Don't, Wei Ying" Lan Zhan was afraid he couldn't control himself.

Wei Ying grinned and knelt down. He pulled down Lan Zhan's pants and started licking while
stroking his dick.

"Wei Ying, you don't have to..." Lan Zhan said but was cut short by Wei Ying sudden thrust.

Wei Ying placed Lan Zhan's dick in his mouth, trying to fit in as much as he could. Lan Zhan
flinched at the sudden pleasure of Wei Ying's warm and wet mouth.

Lan Zhan's breath started becoming heavier as he soon found one of his hand on Wei Ying's head,
moving along with Wei Ying's thrusts and the other on Wei Ying's shoulder.

"Wei Ying..." Lan Zhan gasped as he came in Wei Ying's mouth. Wei Ying grinned and pulled Lan
Zhan's pants back up.

"What about you?" Lan Zhan asked. If one looked close enough, Wei Ying's bulge could be seen.

Wei Ying shook his head. "I'm fine, Lan Zhan, let's go." and dragged Lan Zhan ahead before
anything else happened.
 Spicy

They continued exploring the town and had a luxurious dinner at the rumoured best restaurant. The
table was filled with so many dishes that Wei Ying complained "Lan Zhan! This is too much!"

Lan Zhan ordered all the spicy dishes and a few non spicy ones, but all of them were dishes that
Wei Ying likes. Wei Ying tried stopping Lan Zhan but to no avail.

Hence, Wei Ying kept quiet and enjoyed the feeling of Lan Zhan spoiling him. The waiter was
overwhelmed by the number of dishes they ordered and wondered if they were playing a prank.

In the end, Wei Ying managed to finish all the dishes but left the restaurant feeling very full. Lan
Zhan grabbed him by the waist and asked "Was dinner yummy?"

"Very" Satisfied Wei Ying replied, then gave Lan Zhan a kiss he deserved. After they finally broke
apart, Wei Ying smirked and asked "Was my kiss yummy?"

"... Yes... Very... spicy..." Lan Zhan replied. He enjoyed the kiss but his tongue couldn't help but
feel numb.

Wei Ying laughed and gave Lan Zhan a squeeze hug. Lan Zhan stroked Wei Ying's back. "Shall
we go back to the inn? We're blocking the way"

Wei Ying nodded his head but teased "Lan Er Ge Ge, are you sure we're going back just because
we blocked the way?"

Lan Zhan missed Wei Ying's teasing so much. He planted a kiss on Wei Ying's lips and said "No...
not only that"

The moment they entered their room, they kissed each other roughly and Wei Ying clung onto Lan
Zhan as they stripped each other. They were all over each other.

On their fifth round, Wei Ying huffed "Lan Zhan... no... no more Ahh! I... Mnnn... No more..."
They had done it many times last night and this morning already.

Lan Zhan nodded his head and pulled out but released on Wei Ying's butt. Wei Ying didn't know if
Lan Zhan did it on purpose or not but squirmed about. Even though he told Lan Zhan no more, he
was the one who got hard again.

Blushing, Wei Ying asked for another round. Lan Zhan was more than willing as he once again,
thrusted into Wei Ying. Wei Ying came first and Lan Zhan really liked the view of Wei Ying
covered in both their cum.

Lan Zhan felt like he was cumming and gripped onto Wei Ying's dick. Wei Ying moaned and
groaned about how sensitive he was but got hard.

Lan Zhan then came on Wei Ying's stomach. Wei Ying however, was still hard. "Lan Zhan!" Wei
Ying exclaimed as he felt that Lan Zhan did it on purpose.

Lan Zhan kissed Wei Ying's neck and Wei Ying trembled and squirmed about, then asked Lan
Zhan for another round.

Lan Zhan only stopped when Wei Ying really couldn't go further and hugged Wei Ying, giving
Wei Ying kisses all over.

"Mine, You're mine." Lan Zhan whispered as he squeezed Wei Ying. Wei Ying smiled and gave
Lan Zhan a kiss back. "Mn, I'm yours and you're mine too. Let's sleep"

"Mn" Lan Zhan replied happily as he hugged Wei Ying to sleep. Wei Ying was feeling very happy,
being spoiled today by Lan Zhan. He fell asleep, satisfied and grateful.

The next evening, they returned to Lotus Pier and saw a moody Jiang Cheng. 'Lan Huan didn't
chase after me... I guess it really was one-sided' Jiang Cheng thought to himself ever since he came
back.

Wei Ying hopped to Jiang Cheng's side. "Jiang Cheng, you like Lan Sect Leader?"

Jiang Cheng blushed and pushed him away "Wei WuXian! Shut your mouth!"

Jiang Cheng had been comfortable with the way things were with Lan XiChen, hence he felt that
Wei Ying had ruined it.

Wei Ying shrugged his shoulders at Jiang Cheng's temper and went back to his room with Lan
Zhan.

The next morning, Wei Ying was woken up by knocking noises. "Wei WuXian! Get your lazy ass
up!" Jiang Cheng shouted as he entered Wei Ying's room.

Wei Ying woke up to see the space beside him empty and frowned. "Where's Lan Zhan?"

"You should learn more from him! He has already paid respects to Mum and Dad! Get up now!
We're having a meeting about your marriage! Everyone's waiting for you!"

The moment Wei Ying heard the word marriage, he jumped up and excitedly got ready. He ran
into the meeting hall "I'm here! I'm here!"

Unexpectedly, Lan QiRen was there. He frowned a little seeing Wei Ying's rowdiness.

Wei Ying scanned the room and greeted the elders and his ShiJie, then hopped over to Lan Zhan's
side.

Lan Zhan placed his hand on Wei Ying's back and stroked it, causing Wei Ying to flinch and blush.

Lan QiRen cleared his throat. "As we were saying, since the gifts have been settled and they have
met, when should we hold the wedding?"

Jiang FengMian replied "We're fine with anything. This year end and next year end has the best
auspicious date seen every 300 years."

Lan QiRen nodded his head. "I have calculated that too. This year end we are holding our once
every 3 years classes (lectures). Since the date is right before the start of the classes, it might be a
little rushed. How about next year?"

Jiang FengMian nodded his head in agreement. Wei Ying and Lan Zhan didn't have any objections
either. Hence, they decided to arrange the date next year end.

Wei Ying and Lan Zhan looked at each other with affection. They were both excited and looking
forward to the marriage, the day they are officially announced as husband and husband.
The meeting ended and everyone left the meeting hall. Madam Yu then asked Lan Zhan and Wei
Ying to follow her.
 Wu Ji

"Wei WuXian" Yu ZiYuan called, which shocked Wei Ying to the core as Yu ZiYuan had always
referred to him as "You".

"Yes Madam Yu!" Wei Ying said with a hint of happiness in him. Yu ZiYuan then handed him
something.

"Your mother always had this artifact with her. It's a family heirloom. Since you're getting married,
take it." Yu ZiYuan said.

Despite all the rumours about Wei Ying's parents and the Jiang couple, Yu ZiYuan had actually
gotten along with Wei Ying's mother and knew that the rumours were false.

However, her pride didn't let her act so affectionately in front of others. She disliked hearing such
rumours too.

Yu ZiYuan held out a palm-sized artifact that was in the shape of an incense burner, but there were
no holes or openings except one on the top.

"Tonight, drip a drop of your blood first, then Lan Zhan's blood at the top. After that, cultivate for
the night. It will only recognize the two of you as partner owners. I'm not clear on what it does.
However, it intertwines your lives. That's why your parents..." Yu ZiYuan said, before turning
around to leave.

"Thank you, Madam Yu!!" Wei Ying exclaimed. Lan Zhan expressed his thanks too.

Wei Ying and Lan Zhan interlocked hands as they walked around Lotus Pier. Wei Ying then
brought Lan Zhan to the woods beside and told him about how Jiang Cheng chased him out and
threatened him with dogs when they first met.

Wei Ying was so scared he ran here and it was his ShiJie who carried him back and on the way,
saw an injured Jiang Cheng who chased after them. She ended up carrying the both of them back.

Lan Zhan smiled listening to Wei Ying's stories. "Lan Zhan! Don't suddenly smile like that! You're
giving me a heart attack!!" Wei Ying exclaimed when he received a shock by Lan Zhan's smile.

Lan Zhan then pressed Wei Ying against the tree. "Wei Ying, I love you." Lan Zhan said as he
kissed Wei Ying.

They kissed so passionately that they forgot where they were and loosened each other's robes.

"Lan Zhan, I love you too" Wei Ying replied. "Lan Zhan... what do you love about me?"

"Everything!" Lan Zhan said as he rubbed Wei Ying's hole.

"Lan Zhan!" Wei Ying blushed as he lightly smacked Lan Zhan's shoulder. "I love everything
about you too!" Wei Ying said as he rubbed Lan Zhan's crotch.

Wei Ying had a shock. Lan Zhan was already hard. "Lan Zhan... do you want to put it in me right
now?"

Lan Zhan's eyes widened as his breath got heavier. However, he didn't immediately agree as out of
5 times they did it without preparation, Wei Ying bled three times.
"Lan Zhan... you don't have to worry" Wei Ying said, knowing Lan Zhan's concern.

Turning around, Wei Ying placed both hands on the tree and stuck his ass out. "Quick! Lan Zhan!
Lan Er Ge Ge!"

Wei Ying successfully seduced Lan Zhan as Lan Zhan immediately took off his pants and thrusted
into Wei Ying.

"Ahhhh!" Wei Ying screamed in pain. Lan Zhan panicked and looked down. It was already late in
the evening, hence it was a little hard to see.

"... Wei Ying, sorry..." Lan Zhan said. Everytime this happens, he blamed himself for not insisting
on preparing Wei Ying first.

"It's fine, Lan Zhan. I couldn't wait." Wei Ying replied, knowing Lan Zhan felt bad.

"... Can I move?" Lan Zhan asked, placing both hands on Wei Ying's hips.

Blushing, Wei Ying said "Yes, gently..."

Lan Zhan's gentle wasn't the same as Wei Ying. Lan Zhan thrusted into Wei Ying and increased
his speed as Wei Ying loosened.

Their vigorous activity ended hours later. Returning to Wei Ying's room, they then remembered
the family heirloom.

Wei Ying picked it up and read the name "Wu Ji". Thinking after a while, Wei Ying exclaimed
"Lan Zhan! It's a combination of both our names!"

Holding WuJi between them, Wei Ying looked at Lan Zhan. Remembering Madam Yu saying that
it would intertwine their lives, he asked "Lan Zhan... are you sure you want to do this?"

Lan Zhan immediately grabbed Wei Ying's hand. "Wei Ying, you can't back out nor leave me.
Dead or alive, I want to be with you."

Wei Ying smiled "I won't, Lan Zhan. Let's do it then."

Grabbing BiChen, Wei Ying slit a small cut on his finger and dripped it on WuJi. Lan Zhan then
grabbed SuiBian and did the same.

They didn't have to use each other's swords but Wei Ying liked using BiChen to slit his finger
when drawing talismans. Lan Zhan saw Wei Ying use BiChen and wanted to use SuiBian.

With that, the two of them sat on Wei Ying's bed and started cultivating. Wei Ying don't usually
take cultivation too seriously. However, he felt that he needed to as it was something that bonds
him and Lan Zhan together. He didn't want to be the one ruining it.

Soon, they felt energy rising in their bodies. The energy surged through their bodies as Wei Ying
and Lan Zhan tried their best to meditate. After some time, they were both sucked into a
dimensional space.

Wei Ying and Lan Zhan looked at each other. Suddenly, a screen appeared and they saw
themselves in it.

Lan QiRen and Jiang FengMian felt the sudden spike in energy and immediately headed to Wei
Ying's bedroom. Standing outside, they set up a protective barrier.
 Wu Ji 2

Wei Ying and Lan Zhan looked around. Everywhere was white, except for the screen that
appeared.

Suddenly music came out. It was playing "Wu Ji" (Unrestrained). Wei Ying and Lan Zhan looked
at each other and immediately, a deeper connection sparked in them.

They could relate to this song and melody all too well. They intertwined their hands as they spoke
with their eyes.

Suddenly, Lan QiRen cleared his throat behind them. They turned around, shocked. Wei Ying
released his hand but Lan Zhan grabbed it and held on to it as he greeted his uncle and Jiang
FengMian.

"What's this?" Jiang FengMian asked.

"Uncle Jiang, this happened after we dripped our blood into Wu Ji." Wei Ying replied.

"Mn, your are the fated ones." Jiang FengMian said as he nodded his head.

Seeing Wei Ying and Lan Zhan's questioned look, he continued "Your parents mentioned that the
fated ones could unlock Wu Ji to the fullest, allowing them to see another version of themselves.
They think that it shows the future and the past."

Just then, the song ended and their attention turned to the screen. All of a sudden, they couldn't
move nor talk. Wei Ying was glad Lan Zhan held on to his hand.

They then watched Chen Qing Ling (陈情令, The Untamed) from the start to the end. Throughout
the show, despite them not being in the screen, they could feel what their other version was feeling.

The show ended when it was revealed that the actual reason Jiang Cheng got caught was to save
Wei Ying, and he left his sister in Wei Ying's hands.

Everyone was overwhelmed with feelings and thoughts but at that last scene, Wei Ying thought
'That's more like Jiang Cheng' and Jiang FengMian felt indescribably proud of his son.

Throughout the show, they were shocked by many things. Jiang Cheng losing his golden core. Wei
Ying giving his golden core to Jiang Cheng. The massacre of Jiang Sect. Wen RuoHan's power.
Wei Ying's change. ZiXuan and Yanli's deaths. Wei Ying jumping off the cliff at Nightless City.
Xue Yang and Xiao XingChen. Jin GuangYao's schemes. The fact that Wei Ying did not actually
lose control, but was framed by Jin GuangYao and SuShe.

With that, they were zapped back to reality. Wei Ying and Lan Zhan were still sitting on the edge
of the bed and Lan QiRen and Jiang FengMian stood at the entrance of their room. For a moment,
no one said anything.

They then realised that the time had stopped while they were watching The Untamed. Jiang
FengMian spoke up first. "Let's discuss this tomorrow."

Lan QiRen nodded his head as he had to think and process about all that happened. They then
quietly sent the two uncles out.
"Wei Ying..." Lan Zhan started. Wei Ying immediately intercepted him. "Lan Zhan, my nightmare
happened exactly like it did in what we watched."

Wei Ying was too overwhelmed with many feelings. All of a sudden, tears rolled down by the
corner of his eyes. He just went through all the pain and sufferings he had, but nothing hurt more
than thinking of how Lan Zhan waited for him for 13 years, believing that he would come back.

Lan Zhan was shocked by Wei Ying's tears but relaxed when Wei Ying jumped on Lan Zhan and
hugged him tightly. "Lan Zhan..." Wei Ying whimpered as he sobbed.

Lan Zhan stroked Wei Ying's back while carrying him and sat on the bed. "Lan Zhan, you stupid
Lan Zhan..." Wei Ying whimpered as he sobbed harder, lightly punching Lan Zhan's chest.

Wei Ying felt bad and guilty. He caused so much pain to Lan Zhan for 13 years. Thank goodness
for Mo XuanYu who was baited by Nie HuaiSang.

Lan Zhan was mostly shocked by Wei Ying's death. He held Wei Ying tightly. Despite reuniting
with Wei Ying, the experience of losing Wei Ying was strongly etched in him.
Lan Zhan clung onto Wei Ying as if Wei Ying could and would disappear anytime.

After Wei Ying calmed down, he didn't know where to start. "... Lan Zhan, ... I'm sorry... I really
am... and I... really do love you..."

"Wei Ying..." Lan Zhan said as he peppered Wei Ying's face with kisses. "Anything for you."

"Lan Zhan, thanks for waiting for me..." Wei Ying said, giving Lan Zhan a squeeze. Lan Zhan
squeezed Wei Ying back "Wei Ying, would you do the same for me?"

Wei Ying smiled and kissed Lan Zhan. "Of course! Lan Zhan, you're the only one that I love. How
am I supposed to spend my life with anyone else?"

"Don't. Only with me." Lan Zhan commanded, while flipping them into a sleeping position.

"Yes, Lan Er Ge Ge, only with you." Wei Ying said, then gave Lan Zhan a kiss. "Lan Zhan, I love
you."

Lan Zhan flashed a smile "Wei Ying, I love you."

To describe how Wei Ying felt, it was as if he was stabbed, then recovered, then stabbed, then
recovered continuously. As for Lan Zhan, there was 13 years of missing Wei Ying in him. Losing
Wei Ying, the torture he went through when he wasn't able to see or feel Wei Ying, Lan Zhan then
swore that he would never let Wei Ying go.

Tiredness washed over them. Despite that, Wei Ying wanted to admire his Lan Zhan. Wei Ying
stared at Lan Zhan intently, observing his features, his breathing, his calmness.

After some time, Lan Zhan's face moved. Lan Zhan opened his eyes and shifted his face closer to
Wei Ying. "Wei Ying, stop staring at me..."

"Why? Lan Er Ge Ge. I want to look at you more" Wei Ying said, looking into Lan Zhan's eyes
while caressing his jaw outline.

Lan Zhan flipped himself and hovered over Wei Ying, pulling him into a passionate and aggressive
kiss. He then pressed his hardened groin against Wei Ying.
"Ahhh! Lan Zhan! Why are you hard?! I'm tired! Sleep sleep, I'll sleep! I'll look at you another
day!!" Wei Ying frantically said.

"Too late" Lan Zhan said, diving into Wei Ying's neck. "Wei Ying, everyday is everyday. You
promised."

"That's not fair! The other me made that promise" Wei Ying whined as Lan Zhan tugged his robes
off.

"It's still you. Besides you did say that you want to do it all the time." Lan Zhan said, removing his
robes too.

"Wait wait! We did it before we opened Wu Ji! Remember?" Wei Ying said, trying to escape.

"I don't. It's been too long" Lan Zhan said, leaving his marks on Wei Ying.

Lan Zhan grabbed Wei Ying's cock and stroked it while fingering him and very soon, Wei Ying
succumbed to the pleasure. "One round! Lan Er Ge Ge!"

"No, as many as we can" Lan Zhan said, then thrusted his dick into Wei Ying.

"Ahhh!" Wei Ying moaned, and did so for the rest of the night. They had spent hours in the woods
and he was already feeling sore. Wei Ying knew he would be the one suffering the next day.
 Meeting

The next day, Wei Ying had trouble getting up. He had trouble waking up and standing up.

Lan Zhan kissed him breathless till he woke up, then dressed a moody Wei Ying and helped him to
the meeting hall.

In the meeting hall, Lan QiRen and Jiang FengMian were already waiting for them. All 4 of them
didn't get a good night's sleep.

Wei Ying and Lan Zhan had been doing it, while Jiang FengMian visited Yu ZiYuan's quarters.
After seeing the way they died, the way Yu ZiYuan reached her hand and crawled towards him,
his heart ached. He immediately went to find her to tell her of his feelings.

He thought that Yu ZiYuan didn't like him very much but the truth was that she was insecure and
was just putting up a strong front, especially since Jiang FengMian wasn't a very proactive person.

They had made up and Yu ZiYuan would be moving to Jiang FengMian's bedroom. Lan QiRen
had been the only one seriously thinking about whatever happened.

He didn't expect Wei Ying to walk down the demonic path, which was very unacceptable to him.
Despite knowing how Wei Ying suffered and the reasons, he was still feeling unsure.

The moment they entered the meeting hall, Lan QiRen stared at Wei Ying. Wei Ying shrunk a
little, knowing how much Lan QiRen disliked him.

Lan Zhan shielded him and pulled him to sit after greeting the both of them. Lan QiRen sighed a
little, knowing his dear nephew had become a rebellious one for Wei Ying.

They had been discussing about Wen Sect and Wei Ying spoke up. "I... I want to create Stygian
Tiger Seal and Chen Qing and save Wen Qing, Wen Ning and their family."

Looking at Lan QiRen's eyes which was practically shooting fireballs out, Wei Ying immediately
panicked "I'll only use it once! Only against Wen RuoHan! I'll destroy Stygian Tiger Seal right
after!"

The four of them knew that Wei Ying did not lose control of Stygian Tiger Seal but was
interrupted by Su She and Jin GuangYao.

Lan Zhan and Uncle Jiang allowed Wei Ying to do as he wishes, hence the three of them looked at
Lan QiRen.

Lan QiRen thought about this issue last night. He couldn't think of another way to take Wen
RuoHan down other than the Stygian Tiger Seal. Slowly, he nodded his head.

Wei Ying smiled and thanked them, feeling excited to reunite with Chen Qing. They then moved
on to the next issue, the marriage.

Lan Zhan spoke first about this issue "We would like to get married this year end"

Lan Zhan and Wei Ying had talked about this issue last night. Lan Zhan started it, saying "Wei
Ying, shall we get married this year end?"

Wei Ying had been thinking the same. "Lan Zhan, I..."
Lan Zhan cut off Wei Ying. "Wei Ying, I love you. No matter what happens, I want to be your
husband. Let's get married before the classes start."

Wei Ying felt that maybe Lan Zhan was feeling insecure. "Mn! Lan Zhan, I was thinking the same
thing! Let's get married as soon as possible."

Wei Ying then interlocked his fingers with Lan Zhan's. "Lan Zhan, I love you!"

Lan QiRen and Jiang FengMian simply nodded their heads. It was Wei Ying's and Lan Zhan's
marriage, hence it was up to them to choose when they wanted to hold it.

The next discussion was about Jin GuangYao, and it was the trickiest one. He had done everything
secretly and covered it so well, it was also hard to accuse him without evidence.

They decided that they would settle Wen Sect's matter, then observe Jin GuangYao carefully and
only take action when he does something suspicious.

Wei Ying yawned and stretched as he exited the meeting hall. The moment Lan Zhan came out of
the meeting hall, Wei Ying jumped on his back.

"Wei Ying, come down" Lan Zhan said.

Wei Ying got a shock "Lan Zhan! Aren't you supposed to smile while walking off?!"

"Wei Ying, come down first" Lan Zhan repeated.

"Lan Zhan! Why are you so mean today?! Lan Er Ge Ge, did you forget who made my ass sore?!"
Wei Ying exclaimed, pouting.

Lan QiRen cleared his throat from behind and Wei Ying immediately got off, then awkwardly
patted Lan Zhan's back "I... I was joking... haha..."

Lan Zhan then turned around and picked Wei Ying up bridal style, then bowed to Lan QiRen and
walked off.

"Lan Zhan! What are you doing?" Wei Ying cried, struggling a little.

"I prefer carrying you this way" Lan Zhan replied.

"Ahh" Wei Ying muttered as he covered his face with both hands, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Lan Er Ge Ge, you're getting more and more shameless"

"Wei Ying, call me that if you don't want to walk today." Lan Zhan said, carrying Wei Ying
towards his bedroom.

Wei Ying immediately zipped his mouth. His ass really wasn't in the mood to be entered again.
"Lan Zhan! Let's go to YunMeng town!" Wei Ying exclaimed.

'This way my ass will definitely be saved.' Wei Ying thought as Lan Zhan nodded and changed
direction.

On the way to town, Lan Zhan sliced a bamboo tree and carved a flute for Wei Ying, who smiled
and accepted it but was falling in love with Lan Zhan all over again. Then, they rented the boat at
Lotus Lake. The previous time they weren't able to enjoy anything but their sex.

Wei Ying wanted to show Lan Zhan the scenery, his favourite places and eat some fresh lotus.
After doing all he wanted, Wei Ying relaxed as he leaned against Lan Zhan and they continued
drifting around Lotus Lake. Wei Ying then took out his bamboo flute and played the song "Wu Ji".

After he finished playing, he turned around and looked at Lan Zhan. "Lan Zhan, this song is very
nice. It's my favourite!"
 Hundred Thousand Million Billion

Hearing Wei Ying say that, Lan Zhan smiled and Wei Ying exclaimed "Lan Zhan! You did it
without warning again!"

Lan Zhan then pulled Wei Ying into a kiss. Wei Ying smiled and kissed back as he wrapped his
arms around Lan Zhan's neck.

Without realising, Wei Ying straddled Lan Zhan as Lan Zhan placed Wei Ying on his lap. They
were still engrossed in their passionate kiss.

Soon after, Wei Ying was lightly hitting Lan Zhan's chest. Wei Ying tried to pull away many times
but Lan Zhan immediately pulled him back right away.

Lan Zhan reluctantly released Wei Ying's lips, letting Wei Ying take deep breaths as he was
gasping for air.

"Lan Zhan! huff huff huff Do you really want to suffocate me?!" Wei Ying scolded.

Lan Zhan felt a little guilty but when he looked up and saw Wei Ying's lips, red and moist and
enticing because of him, he pulled Wei Ying into another kiss.

This time, when Wei Ying managed to break free, he scurried to one end of the boat, thinking 'I
have to protect myself!'

Lan Zhan showed his disappointed face. Wei Ying felt a little bad "Lan Zhan, don't use that face on
me!"

Lan Zhan then slightly pouted his lips for the first time while approaching Wei Ying. Wei Ying
who was too shocked to react, found himself pinned against
the wall of the boat.

"Lan Zhan, we have done it so many times, let's just rest for today alright?" Wei Ying pleaded.
Seeing Lan Zhan hesitate, Wei Ying exclaimed "We'll do it as much as you want tomorrow!!"

Lan Zhan's eyes lit up and though he wanted to do it at that exact moment, he nodded his head and
agreed. After kissing Wei Ying again, he pulled Wei Ying into his embrace and cuddled together.

They had one month before the wedding and after the wedding they will attend the classes at Gusu,
then deal with Wen Sect.

Lan Zhan wanted to be with Wei Ying as much as he could, knowing they will be separated for
some time when Wei Ying goes to Burial Mounds.

Lan Zhan was a little reluctant letting Wei Ying go back to that torturous place with no sunlight.
However, Wei Ying wanted to.

Hugging Wei Ying tightly, Lan Zhan said "Wei Ying, no matter where you are and no matter what
happens, I believe in you and I love you. For my whole life."

Wei Ying grinned thinking that Lan Zhan was getting better at making his heart beat faster.
"Promise me in your next life and your next hundred thousand million billion lives that you'll love
me and be there for me too."
Lan Zhan nodded his head and gave Wei Ying a squeeze. "I promise. In this life, my next life and
my next hundred thousand million billion lives and even after that, I love you and I'll be there for
you."

Wei Ying was feeling a little emotional. He liked acting spoilt in front of Lan Zhan. "Lan Zhan, I
promise you that I'll love you and be there for you in all my lives too."

Lan Zhan was feeling so happy you could almost see flowers blooming around him. "Lan Zhan,
carry me" Wei Ying said.

Lan Zhan gave an "Mn" and carried Wei Ying out of the boat and headed back to Lotus Pier. On
the way back, Lan Zhan did whatever Wei Ying asked.

"Lan Zhan, buy me that"

"Lan Zhan, let's go there"
"Lan Zhan, let's get some thawed candies"
"Lan Zhan, let's look at this shop"
"Lan Zhan, give me a kiss"
"Lan Zhan, I want to try that"
"Lan Zhan, let's have dinner here"
"Lan Zhan, feed me"
"Lan Zhan, say "Ahhh""
... ... ...

Lan Zhan agreed to all his requests, letting Wei Ying feel as spoiled as he always wanted to.
Reaching back to Wei Ying's room, Lan Zhan gently placed Wei Ying down.

"Lan Zhan, shower me" Wei Ying requested again. Lan Zhan nodded his head with an "Mn" and
got the bath ready.

Lan Zhan undressed Wei Ying, then carried him into the tub, as Wei Ying requested. Lan Zhan
was about to wash Wei Ying when he requested again "Lan Zhan, bathe with me"

Lan Zhan nodded his head and got into the tub too. "It's a little squeezy right?" Wei Ying giggled
as Lan Zhan got in.

Lan Zhan nodded his head while grabbing Wei Ying's hand, pulling him onto his lap. Lan Zhan
back-hugged Wei Ying for a while.

Lan Zhan started washing Wei Ying as his hands travelled around Wei Ying's body. Feeling a little
aroused, Wei Ying warned "Lan Zhan, no hanky panky"

Lan Zhan gave an "Mn". He was about to leave his marks on Wei Ying's neck but who knew Wei
Ying caught him.

Lan Zhan continued washing Wei Ying. As he slid his hand around Wei Ying's thighs, Wei Ying
turned around and flashed a glare at Lan Zhan. "Lan Zhan! I told you no hanky panky!"

Lan Zhan was confused. This time he hadn't intended to do anything yet. Then Lan Zhan realised...
maybe Wei Ying was turned on by his touches.

Lan Zhan moved his hands up and rubbed Wei Ying's shoulders, giving him a slight massage. He
heard Wei Ying's breath getting heavier and tried his best to suppress a grin.

Moving down, he rubbed Wei Ying's chest. "Nghh!" Wei Ying moaned as Lan Zhan's hands
rubbed over his two erected buds.

"Pfft" Lan Zhan couldn't help but let out a suppressed snicker. Wei Ying had a shock and turned
around. He wanted to scold Lan Zhan but Lan Zhan snickered which surprised him.

Wei Ying frowned "What's so funny". It was the first time Lan Zhan snickered and it made Wei
Ying feel like he was being made fun of.

Lan Zhan returned to his calm face and replied "Nothing" while rubbing Wei Ying's stomach.

Then, Lan Zhan's hand accidentally hit something a little hard and Wei Ying moaned "Nghhh" at
the same time.
 Hanky Panky

Realising what it was, Lan Zhan let out a grin. Wei Ying blushed "Why are you grinning! Why did
you touch me like that? Lan Zhan! I told you no hanky panky!"

"Wei Ying" Lan Zhan said, giving Wei Ying a kiss on the cheek. "I was washing you normally. It
turns you on?"

Hearing Lan Zhan say he didn't do it on purpose, Wei Ying blushed even harder. "Liar! You did
this to me on purpose! You're so sneaky and mean!"

"I would never lie to you" Lan Zhan said, still grinning. Wei Ying blushed, loving how Lan Zhan
looks when he grins.

With a long moment of eye contact, they exchanged heated gazes with each other. Lan Zhan
moved in and kissed Wei Ying.

Wei Ying was so captivated by Lan Zhan that he didn't even realise they were kissing. Panting and
blushing, Wei Ying pulled away "Lan Zhan, I didn't say you can kiss me."

"Sorry" Lan Zhan said, then continued washing Wei Ying. He had a good idea.

Wei Ying was surprised that Lan Zhan stopped. He turned around and sulked. All of a sudden, his
cock was grabbed by large, warm, smooth hands.

Blushing, he turned around "Lan Zhan! What are you doing?!" However, Wei Ying was glad that
Lan Zhan finally moved beyond kissing and moaned a little.

After a few strokes, Lan Zhan released his grip around Wei Ying's cock and washed his legs from
the thighs, to the knees, to his calf, then to his ankle. "I'm washing you."

Wei Ying was flustered. Then he felt a little relieved when Lan Zhan's finger poked at his hole.
"Do you want to wash inside?" Lan Zhan whispered, with his finger rubbing Wei Ying's hole.

Wei Ying blushed and nodded his head, softly replying "Yes"

After fingering Wei Ying a little, Wei Ying felt like he could cum but Lan Zhan pulled his finger
out. Wei Ying whimpered a little.

Lan Zhan then rubbed Wei Ying's sensitive cock, making Wei Ying feel like cumming again.
However, before Wei Ying could, Lan Zhan stopped again.

"Lan Zhan! Why are you doing this to me?!" Wei Ying asked frustratedly.

Lan Zhan simply said "I'm just washing you. I'm done. What's next ?"

"You!..." Wei Ying growled a little. Clenching his teeth, he was in a silent dilemma. He wanted
Lan Zhan to thrust into him but he was the one who told Lan Zhan not today and not to do hanky
panky things.

Grabbing Lan Zhan's dick, Wei Ying then mischeviously smiled "Lan Zhan, is there anything you
want?"

"I'm doing whatever you want" Lan Zhan replied.

Wei Ying frowned and turned around like a kid with a "Hmph". Seeing Wei Ying not giving in,
Lan Zhan just smiled to himself.

Hugging Wei Ying, Lan Zhan whispered in his ear.

"Wei Ying, want to do it?"

"Do what?!" Wei Ying said as he childishly tried to shrug Lan Zhan away.

"Sex" Lan Zhan replied, reaching down to grab Wei Ying's cock. Wei Ying replied with a moan
"Mnnn"

Wei Ying turned to look at Lan Zhan and crossed his arms "Why didn't you say so earlier!"

"Sorry" Lan Zhan apologised, then kissed Wei Ying as he fingered Wei Ying's half loosened hole.

Even though Lan Zhan was the one who asked, Wei Ying still felt like he lost. Feeling a little
humiliated, Wei Ying gave Lan Zhan's dick a squeeze and bit his shoulder.

Lan Zhan didn't mind and started leaving his marks on Wei Ying. Wei Ying had been turned on
and stimulated for some time and couldn't wait anymore.

Embarrassed, he grit his teeth "Lan Zhan, put it in now!"

"Mn" Lan Zhan replied in his deep voice and placed Wei Ying over his dick.

Lan Zhan slowly pushed his way in. Wei Ying was still tight. Lan Zhan continued teasing Wei
Ying by thrusting slowly.

Wei Ying was more and more frustrated. "Lan Zhan! You're so mean! Meanie!" Wei Ying
grumbled.

Wei Ying couldn't take it and sped up, lifting his ass then slamming down against Lan Zhan.
"Faster, Lan Zhan"

"Mn" Lan Zhan replied, speeding up. Water splashed about, out of the tub. Lan Zhan noticed it and
slowed down, making Wei Ying frown while pouting. For the fourth time, he was just about to
cum when Lan Zhan stopped!

"On the bed?" Lan Zhan asked, not wanting to mess up Wei Ying's room. Wei Ying shook his head
and hugged Lan Zhan's neck tightly, begging "Lan Er Ge Ge, don't stop, please... I really want to
cum"

Lan Zhan was more turned on. Not caring anymore, he slammed into Wei Ying and thrusted
continuously.

By the time Lan Zhan came, Wei Ying had released once and was leaking precum again. Seeing
the bath tub left with half the original amount of water, Lan Zhan carried Wei Ying out of the tub
before things got worse.

Placing Wei Ying on the bed, Lan Zhan peppered him with kisses as he stroked Wei Ying's dick.
Wei Ying moaned and managed to utter out "Lan Zhan, put it in"

Lan Zhan was more than willing to do so and thrusted into Wei Ying once again.

"Nghh, Lan Zhan... deep... good... ahhh, mnn.." Wei Ying moaned as he panted.
Cumming once again, Wei Ying breathed heavily as Lan Zhan continued thrusting "After this... no
more..." Wei Ying uttered.

Lan Zhan nodded his head with an "Mn". He was happy enough that Wei Ying allowed him to do
it without waiting all the way till tomorrow.

With a few more thrusts while being squeezed tightly by Wei Ying, Lan Zhan pulled out and
came.

Lan Zhan tried turning away but it was too late. Most of his cum landed on Wei Ying's butt, around
his hole. Wei Ying blushed.

Wei Ying could never control himself when this happened. His cock rised up again. Blushing even
harder, Wei Ying groaned a little. "Lan Zhan... one more time...?"

Lan Zhan nodded his head again with an "Mn" and thrusted into Wei Ying hard, making Wei Ying
arch his back in pleasure.

Clinging onto Lan Zhan's shoulder, Wei Ying became a moaning mess again. This time, Lan Zhan
pulled out and made sure not to cum on Wei Ying's butt again.

Wei Ying panted while laying on the bed, too tired and sore to do anything. Lan Zhan gave him a
peck on his cheek and soaked Wei Ying in the bath tub which was left with a little bit of water.
 Come With Me

After cleaning Wei Ying up, Lan Zhan cleaned himself up and cuddled against Wei Ying. "Lan
Zhan, I love you" Wei Ying said, giving Lan Zhan a kiss.

Lan Zhan kissed Wei Ying back "Wei Ying, I love you too."

"I know" Wei Ying grinned as he snuggled into Lan Zhan's chest. "Love you, Lan Zhan" Wei Ying
said again.

Lan Zhan stroked Wei Ying's back. "I know" Lan Zhan whispered, giving Wei Ying a forehead
kiss.

Wei Ying smiled and hugged Lan Zhan tightly. "Lan Zhan, I promise you I'll be safe. Burial
Mounds isn't that bad"

"I believe you" Lan Zhan said firmly, without hesitation. Then, with a worried tone, Lan Zhan
continued "Don't get hurt"

Wei Ying nodded his head "Mn, I won't".

Since there was still time, Lan Zhan and Wei Ying both wanted to be together all the time. "Wei
Ying, will you come to Cloud Recesses with me?"

"Yes" Wei Ying replied sleepily.

Lan Zhan stroked his head and took in Wei Ying's scent, happy to get the answer he wanted in both
versions of him. "Thank you, Wei Ying, thank you..." Lan Zhan whispered.

Wei Ying managed to mumble "Not me. You. Thank you Lan Zhan" before falling asleep. Lan
Zhan held on to Wei Ying even tighter, never wanting to let go.

The next day, they spent the day at Yunmeng Jiang Sect's training grounds. It's been a long time
since Wei Ying sparred with his fellow disciples and they all took turns sparring with Wei Ying.

After Wei Ying sparred with all of them, he wiped his sweat away and grinned at all of them lying
on the ground. "You guys need to buck up"

Jiang Cheng was the only one still standing, but was angry that he didn't get to land a hit on Wei
Ying.

Jiang FengMian and Yu ZiYuan watched at the side. Jiang FengMian was about to spar with Wei
Ying when Wei Ying called Lan Zhan over.

"Lan Zhan! Your turn!" Wei Ying shouted.

Lan Zhan hesitated a little but nodded his head and walked over. Wei Ying grinned. During their
time together, they had often sparred with each other too, trying to get a winner but to no avail.

Soon, SuiBian and BiChen were clashing wildly against one another. They were evenly matched
and Wei Ying grinned, knowing only Lan Zhan could match his skills.

Lan QiRen nodded his head as he watched, proud of Lan Zhan's skills and approved Wei Ying's,
knowing that Lan Zhan wasn't going easy on Wei Ying yet Wei Ying who was playing a fool
handled Lan Zhan well.

Jiang FengMian was also impressed by Lan Zhan's swordsmanship. He was very proud of Wei
Ying's skills and knew that Wei Ying was one of the top young cultivators.

When they sparred, everyone couldn't help but watch in awe. Jiang FengMian and Jiang Yanli
smiled, feeling proud of Wei Ying and Yu ZiYuan nodded her head in approval.

Jiang Cheng sat at the side feeling a little inferior and jealous while the rest of the disciples
cheered for Wei Ying. After watching for some time, he walked back to his room and started
practicing his swordsmanship.

That night, when Wei Ying and Lan Zhan went back to their room, Wu Ji shook wildly. They then
decided to meditate and was sucked into a dimensional space just like before.

Wei Ying and Lan Zhan wondered what was going on when suddenly, BiChen and SuiBian flew
away from them. They withdrew themselves and clashed against each other, then BiChen started
spiraling around SuiBian.

They could feel themselves gaining more spiritual power and as their swords flew back to them,
they felt a heightened strength in their sword.

Their sword had suddenly become even more powerful, to the extent it shocked the both of them.
They could control their swords even better, like Nie MingJue, who could call for BaXia when he
wanted to.

Suddenly, the screen flickered. It showed six people sitting by a table and Lan Zhan immediately
recognized the place. It was the Gentian House, the place his mother resided. Lan Zhan suddenly
noticed Wei Ying trembling.

"Mother... Father..." Wei Ying called out. His memory of his parents had blurred faces as he was
too young and couldn't help but forget how they looked.

This was what he wanted for a long time. To remember their faces, his mother's loving smile and
his father's warm smile.

Lan Zhan had also missed his mother a lot. No matter what other people said about his parents, he
knew his mother was kind, caring and loving towards him.

Lan Zhan grabbed Wei Ying's hand as they watched what happened. The six of them were
laughing with Wu Ji placed in the middle.

"What's this?" Madam Lan asked.

CangSe SanRen smiled and replied "This is Wu Ji, my family heirloom. My parents had always
told me that it is very powerful. There are many secrets about it that is still unknown to us."

"It'll be passed down to our kids" Wei ChangZe said with a charming grin.

QingHeng Jun gave him a light smack on the back and laughed while saying "and later on to our
grandchildren, huh."

Wei ChangZe laughed and said "That's if our children are one son and one daughter."

Lan QiRen had a strict face but he had a gentle expression. Turning to QingHeng Jun, he said
"Brother, it'll be my child and ChangZe's child that is getting
married. Your child can marry FengMian's."

"No, ChangZe, let your child marry mine. See, we already have A-Huan. He is such a charming kid
already and A-Zhan is 7 months old! Your child and Yanli will have two handsome man to choose
from!" QingHeng Jun said while holding Madam Lan's hand.

Lan Zhan's eyes sparkled at the sight of his parents being so loving to each other. Definitely
different from the rumours and something he had never seen.

"No can do," Jiang FengMian replied "Yanli will be bethrothed to Madam Jin's son"

"That's too bad" QingHeng Jun sighed while ChangZe smirked and shoulder hugged CangSe
SanRen. "Well we're expecting already! It's 6 months big! We're thinking of calling him Wei
Ying!"
 Arranging Marriage

QingHeng Jun smacked Wei ChangZe's back and grinned "Congratulations!" while Madam Lan
said "Wei Ying... sounds nice"

Lan QiRen then stood up and huffed at CangSe SanRen. "How could you jump about in the
garden just now! What if you hurt the baby?!"

CangSe SanRen replied "He's my baby, not yours. I know how to protect him!"

"Protect him by jumping about?!" Lan QiRen talked back.

FengMian sighed and patted QiRen's back "That's not all. I got the shock of my life when I saw her
splashing about in the water with the other Yunmeng disciples"

Lan QiRen widened his eyes and turned to ChangZe "ChangZe, you can't let her continue acting
like that!"

CangSe SanRen tugged ChangZe's arm and said "A-Ze, they are bullying me again! We should
just let our child marry Lan Huan or Lan Zhan."

"You!" Lan QiRen said angrily and FengMian dragged him down to sit while laughing. QingHeng
Jun laughed in agreement "Yes, just marry my child"

Lan QiRen slightly crossed his arms and look away "No! It'll be with my child. ChangZe, you
promised me first."

ChangZe simply laughed while QingHeng Jun patted his brother's back "Alright alright, if you can
even find a wife and have a child."

Lan QiRen fumed at his brother's tease. "Of course I can!" QingHeng Jun laughed and teased again
"Don't take too long"

ChangZe laughed then said "Alright, if QiRen have a child, they'll get married. If not, it'll be with
QingHeng Jun's child."

"Hey! My son isn't a backup plan" QingHeng Jun complained.

Jiang FengMian then grinned at QingHeng Jun while saying "ZiYuan might be expecting, we have
to wait for the good news. Then we can arrange one with your son"

"Yea! And then we'll just join both sects together!"

QingHeng Jun exclaimed. "ChangZe, if you're still waiting for QiRen, I'll just let FengMian's
second child marry A-Huan first."

ChangZe smiled and said "No rush, let the kids grow up first. We'll just arrange it with QiRen first.
We promised after all."

Lan QiRen shot a triumph look at his brother and said "That's right"

Wei Ying and Lan Zhan then watched as Lan QiRen and Wei ChangZe exchange the rings meant
for them.
As they finished, knocks came from the door and a Lan Disciple had carried a baby while holding a
boy's hand and walked in.

2-year old Lan XiChen stumbled his way and climbed onto his mother's lap. When the Lan
Disciple carried baby Lan Zhan in, his mother held his hands out to carry him.

Wei Ying's eyes sparkled at the sight of baby Lan Zhan and was surprised when his mother said
out his thoughts. "Baby Lan Zhan is already so cute and charming. Fitting for my child, let them
marry."

Lan QiRen huffed at her while Lan Huan climbed over to his father's lap. Wei ChangZe then said
"Lan Huan is handsome too" making Lan QiRen angrier, though he was proud of his nephew's
good looks.

Madam Lan passed Lan Zhan over to CangSe SanRen and she smiled happily. "Look! He's
smiling, such a good boy! I heard that babies cries all the time. Our kid will always be smiling like
that too!"

ChangZe peered over and nodded his head in approval "Good kid". They played with Lan Zhan
and Lan Zhan reached his hand out, as if he was patting CangSe SanRen's stomach.

CangSe SanRen raised her brows and laughed happily. "Look! He already likes my child! It's
settled!"

Lan QiRen huffed angrily while passing Lan Huan to FengMian "No! It's not settled!"

FengMian watched Lan Huan stare at him with his cute innocent eyes and grinned while saying
"QingHeng Jun, shall we arrange the marriage? I'm already liking Lan Huan. He's cute"

After watching them play with Lan Huan and Lan Zhan for a while, the screen abruptly turned off
while they were zapped back to Wei Ying's room.

Wei Ying and Lan Zhan then noticed that once again, Jiang FengMian and Lan QiRen were
standing at the door.

Lan QiRen stared at the two of then for a moment, then turned around and walked away. This was
a memory he definitely missed. Though he didn't approve of his sister-in-law, he supported his
brother's decisions and he missed hanging out as a group of 6.

Jiang FengMian also looked at them for a moment. He had also missed hanging out together.
Everything stopped when the news of CangSe SanRen and Wei ChangZe's death came about.
From then on, Jiang FengMian was busy looking for Wei Ying while handling the sect.

At that time the elders in Gusu Lan went stricter on Lan Zhan's mother, forcing them to not be able
to meet as often too. Few years later and Madam Lan passed away too, leaving QingHeng Jun in
depression.

Jiang FengMian walked out and followed Lan QiRen, wanting to catch up on the old times.

Wei Ying and Lan Zhan was still a little dazed from all that they've just seen. Recovering, Wei
Ying couldn't help but let tears rolled down his eyes. He silently sobbed.

Lan Zhan pulled Wei Ying into his embrace and Wei Ying started bawling and wailing. "Mother...
Father... I miss you" Wei Ying said in between his cries.
Lan Zhan shut his eyes and hugged Wei Ying tightly, trying to etch his parent's loving scene in his
mind.

When the both of them calmed down, Wei Ying whimpered a little "Lan Zhan... I miss my
parents... I miss them so much"

"Mn, me too" Lan Zhan whispered. They both stayed like this for some time and Lan Zhan rocked
Wei Ying back and forth like a kid.

Wei Ying slowly fell asleep in Lan Zhan's arms while mumbling "Mother... Father..."

Lan Zhan then tucked Wei Ying in and kissed his forehead while hugging him tightly. He couldn't
help but remember his parents holding hands, his mother's loving smile and his father's loving look
towards his mother.

They went to sleep that night, wishing their parents were still alive or at least for a few more years.
 Catching Up

Meanwhile, Jiang FengMian and Lan QiRen sat by a table near the mini lotus pond. Jiang
FengMian handed him alcohol and Lan QiRen rejected it.

"Don't be like that, you drank Tian Zi Xiao whenever you left Cloud Recesses." Jiang FengMian
laughed.

Lan QiRen cooly responded "That's the past. I should add rules that alcohol is banned not only in
Cloud Recesses but everywhere."

Jiang FengMian laughed "You only banned it because CangSe wrecked havoc in Cloud Recesses
after drinking. That said, you got drunk after just one cup."

Lan QiRen looked at him, gave him a "don't expose me" look and relaxed a little "Yea, definitely.
She just can't contol herself. Only ChangZe can stop her from getting too crazy"

Jiang FengMian chuckled while saying "A-Xian will now be the one breaking all your rules."

"We've already seen him doing that" Lan QiRen pointed out, referring to the other version of him.
"He's really like his mother"

Jiang FengMian nodded in agreement as he teased "Turns out you're not married and A-Xian is
marrying Lan Zhan"

Lan QiRen hmphed and huffed "I was too busy taking care of XiChen and WangJi. They're
practically my kids"

Jiang FengMian laughed and joked "Turns out my second child is a son, are we still arranging a
marriage between him and Lan Huan?"

Lan QiRen looked at him in shock "No can do! Your son is the future Sect Leader! If they get
married both Sect's will end there!"

Jiang FengMian sighed and said "You should find a wife now. Lan Huan and Lan Zhan are already
grown up"

Lan QiRen huffed knowing that Jiang FengMian was making fun of him. "Why not you just have
another child!"

Jiang FengMian laughed and nodded his head "Maybe I'll try..." They then enjoyed the
comfortable silence.

Lan QiRen stared at the moon and said "Time passes really fast"

"Yea" Jiang FengMian agreed, as they continued catching up on the past.

The next day, Wei Ying woke up pretty early. Even though Lan Zhan had already woken up, Wei
Ying was glad Lan Zhan stayed with him in bed.

Lan Zhan had been staring at Wei Ying, occasionally giving him forehead kisses and pecks on the
lips, while stroking his hair and jawline.

Wei Ying snuggled into Lan Zhan's chest "Lan Zhan, I love you."
Lan Zhan hugged Wei Ying tightly and replied "Wei Ying, I love you too."

They were both feeling a little upset, wishing their parents were alive or that they could spend more
time with each other but most of all, they were very grateful for being able to see their parents,
remembering their looks and discovering things they didn't know.

"Lan Zhan, you're really cute when you were a baby" Wei Ying giggled as he looked up.

"How about now?" Lan Zhan asked.

Wei Ying smiled and kissed Lan Zhan on the lips "Even cuter and very handsome."

Lan Zhan was happy with the answer as he kissed Wei Ying back, which soon turned aggressive.

When they pulled apart, Wei Ying excitedly said "Lan Zhan! Let's go try out SuiBian and
BiChen!"

Lan Zhan internally facepalmed at Wei Ying's cluelessness. "Wei Ying..." Lan Zhan muttered.

Wei Ying grinned and hovered over Lan Zhan. "Just kidding" Wei Ying said as he pressed his ass
against Lan Zhan's hardened groin.

"We can test them out later" Wei Ying grinned as he kissed Lan Zhan. Lan Zhan grabbed Wei
Ying's ass and rubbed it over his groin.

Wei Ying panted and removed both their robes, then positioned himself over Lan Zhan. Wei Ying
slowly pushed Lan Zhan in, his hole unprepared.

"Lan Zhan... Unghhh.. Help push me..." Wei Ying said. Lan Zhan didn't want Wei Ying to feel the
pain but sat up and assisted him, yet they could only push it in halfway.

Staying in that position for a while, Wei Ying then said "Slam me down". Lan Zhan was a little
hesitant "Wei Ying..."

"Quick, Lan Zhan" Wei Ying said and Lan Zhan slammed Wei Ying down. Wei Ying screamed
and collapsed on Lan Zhan's chest, breathing heavily.

Lan Zhan stroked Wei Ying's back. "Are you alright?"

Wei Ying flinched a little at the sensitive touch and whispered "Yea... Hold on for a while"

Lan Zhan then sucked Wei Ying's necks and kiss his lips while Wei Ying slowly moved himself
up and down.

"Lan Zhan..." Wei Ying gasped as he hit his sensitive spot. Lan Zhan kissed Wei Ying and said
"Wei Ying, I love you"

"Lan Zhan, I love you too" Wei Ying replied as he moved a little faster. Lan Zhan felt Wei Ying's
hole loosening a little and thrusted into Wei Ying.

Wei Ying soon lost strength in his legs as Lan Zhan helped to thrust faster. They then flipped over
and Lan Zhan hovered over Wei Ying, thrusting into him.

After going 3 rounds, Wei Ying stopped Lan Zhan. "Lan Zhan, we still need to test out BiChen and
SuiBian! We'll continue right after, alright?"
Lan Zhan nodded and snuggled his head into Wei Ying's neck, then left kisses and marks. Getting
up, he quickly cleaned the both of them up and headed to the training grounds.

Wei Ying and Lan Zhan sparred as their swords clashed against each other. Everyone was
overwhelmed at their sudden boost in strength. Even Jiang FengMian and Lan QiRen were left
speechless.

Wei Ying grinned proudly. Though SuiBian and BiChen were clashing, they went against each
other well and worked together perfectly.

In no time, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan could use both the Gusu and Yunmeng swordplay style,
thoroughly shocking Jiang FengMian and Lan QiRen.
 Rules

When they were finally done with the battle, Lan QiRen decided to head back to Cloud Recesses to
prepare for the wedding and oncoming classes.

Wei Ying and Lan Zhan bid farewell, then grabbed some food and hurried back to the room, doing
what Wei Ying promised earlier.

Lan Zhan did not go easy on Wei Ying as they had missed doing it the previous night. They only
stopped at the end of their 6th round, when Wu Ji started shaking again.

Wei Ying casually said "It's been 3 days since we had it and it shook for 3 days straight. Lan Zhan,
do you think it's gonna shake every night?"

Lan Zhan who just finished cleaning Wei Ying and himself up sat on the bed and said "Meditate"
while internally hoping that this was not going to happen every night.

This time, they meditated and were zapped into the same dimension. Lan Zhan held Wei Ying's
hand, waiting for what was coming.

The screen flickered and there were pictures of modern Wei Ying smiling with a girl (Xiao Zhan
and Li Qin)

This time they could move around and Lan Zhan tightened his grip on Wei Yin's hand. "What is
this?!" He asked, anger obvious.

The screen then flickered again and there were pictures of modern Lan Zhan smiling with a girl
(Wang Yibo and Wang Zi Xuan)

It was Wei Ying's turn to ask Lan Zhan "Lan Zhan, what is this then?!"

The screen then flickered a few times showing pictures of modern Lan Zhan with modern Wei
Ying (Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan)

When it finished, they were suddenly zapped back to Wei Ying's room and they looked at each
other, confused.

Lan Zhan grabbed Wei Ying's hand, then Wei Ying came to his senses. "Lan Zhan... those people
look like us but it looks like a different world"

Lan Zhan nodded his head and Wei Ying asked "Do you think it's one of our next few lives?"

Lan Zhan looked at Wei Ying and sincerely said "I don't like that girl"

Wei Ying smiled "I don't like the girl with me too. I was just confused when I saw the image but I
know I love you when I saw the images of us"

Lan Zhan felt happy hearing that and gave Wei Ying a kiss "Wei Ying, I love you."

Wei Ying grinned and replied "Lan Zhan, I love you too!"

Lan Zhan gave an "Mn" and kissed Wei Ying. Slowly, Wei Ying was being pushed down to the
bed without realising.
"Wait Lan Zhan!" Wei Ying said while holding his collars together tightly in protection "We went
for so many rounds already!!"

Lan Zhan nodded his head "Mn, time to sleep" and laid beside Wei Ying, then tucked the both of
them in. Wei Ying blushed as he wondered if Lan Zhan had intended to go further or not.

"Wei Ying, we're getting married in 2 weeks" Lan Zhan said, holding Wei Ying close.

Wei Ying smiled and replied "Mn, Lan Er Ge Ge, I really can't wait to spend my life with you",
then gave Lan Zhan a peck on the lips.

All of a sudden, Wei Ying retreated in horror. "Lan Zhan! What about the rules? What am I
supposed to do? Must I follow them?"

Lan Zhan nodded his head and Wei Ying wriggled around in frustration. "No no no! Lan Zhan, I
need my wine and the food is horrible! It's the worst! And no running? How can a man not be up
and running?!" Wei Ying whined and grumbled.

Lan Zhan found Wei Ying cute but felt a little unsure. 'Will Wei Ying come to dislike Cloud
Recesses?...' Lan Zhan thought.

Wei Ying then said "Lan Zhan, why not you marry into Yunmeng Jiang Sect!"

Lan Zhan kept quiet, not knowing what to say. Wei Ying caught on and knew that Lan Zhan had
his responsibilities. "Lan Zhannnn" Wei Ying whined.

Lan Zhan looked at his precious Wei Ying "I'll bring you out often to eat and play and drink wine"

Wei Ying wasn't feeling the happiest he could as Lan Zhan did not say that he could ignore the
rules. "Promise?" Wei Ying pouted.

"Promise." Lan Zhan replied, kissing Wei Ying. Wei Ying then smiled and hugged Lan Zhan
again. "Thank you, Lan Zhan"

Lan Zhan simply stroke his hair and gave him a forehead kiss. As usual, Lan Zhan hugged Wei
Ying tightly while Wei Ying buried his face in Lan Zhan's chest. The both of them felt like they
could stay like that for eternity.
 Wei Ying

Wei Ying and Lan Zhan got ready to leave for Cloud Recesses. They were going to spend 1 week
there, then have the wedding at Lotus Pier which Wei Ying insisted on. A wedding at Cloud
Recesses would surely be quiet and boring without any alcohol!

Just as they were about to leave, Jiang Cheng followed them. Wei Ying looked at him curiously
"Jiang Cheng ah, why are you following us? The classes will be after the wedding!"

"I... I... HuaiSang will be there early so can't I?" Jiang Cheng huffed, looking away.

"A-Cheng" Jiang FengMian called out.

Jiang Cheng straightened his back in shock and slowly turned around "Fa-Father..."

"A-Cheng, stay behind. Go with them after their wedding" Jiang FengMian said.

Jiang Cheng was feeling upset. He wanted to see Lan XiChen. However, Jiang FengMian had
plans for him. He wanted Jiang Cheng to learn Yunmeng Jiang Sect's secret sword arts before the
issue with Wen Sect happens.

Wei Ying guessed it and said "Jiang Cheng, didn't you always want to learn the secret sword arts of
Yunmeng Jiang Sect?" while grinning widely.

Jiang Cheng's eyes widened as he turned to look at Jiang FengMian, who gave him a nod in
confirmation. Jiang Cheng then smiled widely and nodded his head furiously, thinking 'Lan
Huan... I'll meet you after becoming even stronger, after I become worthy of taking over Yunmeng
Jiang Sect.'

Wei Ying and Lan Zhan then left, but not before Wei Ying was crushed in hugs by all the other
disciples and his ShiJie. Lan Zhan stood at the side burning with jealousy, in his mind chanting
'Wei Ying, not too close! How can that guy smack Wei Ying's butt! Stop hugging my Wei Ying!
Don't you dare kiss Wei Ying's cheek!'

Many times Lan Zhan wanted to grab Wei Ying and just leave but he knew Wei Ying wouldn't be
happy and held himself back.

Lan Zhan was so jealous the moment they reached Yunmeng Town, he stopped to kiss Wei Ying
breathless before continuing their journey.

Wei Ying smiled and kissed Lan Zhan and kept asking for hugs as he saw Lan Zhan's angry face
when one of the disciples smacked his butt. Wei Ying was grateful for Lan Zhan not ending their
farewell session there as Wei Ying was a little afraid of what will happen in the future.

On the way back to Cloud Recesses, they took their time, stopping at a few towns to explore, try
their food and have their daily night activities (sometimes in the day too) and only reached after a
week.

Wei Ying and Lan Zhan had just spend their morning having sex in an inn at Caiyi Town. Lan
Zhan then interlocked hands with Wei Ying as they slowly made their way to Cloud Recesses.

Wei Ying occasionally gave Lan Zhan pecks on the cheeks and lips, while swinging their
interlocked hands, making Lan Zhan happy.
They have just entered Cloud Recesses when suddenly "Wei Ying!!!" An excited voice from
behind disturbed their comfortable silence.

The two of them turned around and Wei Ying's face lit up. He let go of Lan Zhan's hands and lifted
both hands in the air, waving wildly. "Nie HuaiSang!!!"

Nie HuaiSang ran over and shoulder hugged Wei Ying. "Wei Ying, it's been a long time!"

Wei Ying grinned and shoulder hugged Nie HuaiSang back, oblivious to the hateful glare in Lan
Zhan's eyes.

However, Nie HuaiSang could totally feel it. He cowered a little "Nice to meet you, Lan Er Gong
Zi"

Lan Zhan simply nodded but didn't stop glaring. He thought of walking away but stopped when he
heard Nie HuaiSang say "Wei Ying, let's explore Cloud Recesses together! I've been here before!"

Lan Zhan glared even more strongly at Nie HuaiSang, who quickly hid behind Wei Ying. Lan
Zhan felt like it was his duty to show Wei Ying around Cloud Recesses (even though he already
knew it from his other version) and Lan Zhan really disliked the way Nie HuaiSang called Wei
Ying.

"Wei Ying, what's wrong with Lan Er Gong Zi?" Nie HuaiSang asked while trembling.

Wei Ying turned around and finally noticed Lan Zhan's glare. However, he didn't know the reason
for it either.

Shrugging his shoulders, Wei Ying asked "Lan Zhan, why are you glaring so fiercely? Are you
angry?"

Looking at Nie HuaiSang who got closer to Wei Ying, Lan Zhan picked up Nie HuaiSang hands
which was on Wei Ying's shoulders and dropped it, saying "Don't call Wei Ying 'Wei Ying'"

Wei Ying gave a confused look while Nie HuaiSang, remembering the scene of them holding
hands, immediately realised and started fanning himself."Ah! Your... Erm, how about Wei
Xiong?"

Lan Zhan then nodded his head. Just then, someone called out to HuaiSang then greeted the three
of them.

His voice sent shivers down Wei Ying's back. Lan Zhan turned around with hatred. It was the man
who caused all the misunderstandings- Jin GuangYao.

Lan Zhan simply pulled Wei Ying away. "Wei Ying, are you alright?"

Wei Ying nodded his head. He disliked Jin GuangYao but right not, he couldn't be bothered with
him. He was still wondering why Lan Zhan suddenly got angry. 'What did I do to make him
angry?'

By the time Lan Zhan was reaching his room, 'JingShi', Wei Ying then realised "Ah! Lan Zhan,
you didn't like him calling me by my birth name?"

Lan Zhan stopped outside JingShi and nodded his head. Wei Ying then happily jumped around him
and teased "Ayy, Lan Zhan, you're jealous over this?"
Lan Zhan grabbed Wei Ying by the waist and held him still. Looking in his eyes, Lan Zhan said in
a low voice

"Only I can call you Wei Ying. Don't let anyone else do."

Wei Ying grinned "Yes! Lan Er Ge Ge, anything you say! Don't let anyone else call you Lan Zhan
either!"

Lan Zhan nodded his head. Wei Ying then said softly "Lan Er Ge Ge, aren't you letting me go?"

Lan Zhan shook his head. Wei Ying blushed. "Lan Er Ge Ge, why on earth are you hard? And stop
rubbing me like that!"
 ShuFu

Lan Zhan who held Wei Ying's waist had been slightly rubbing their groin against each other.
"Accident" Lan Zhan replied.

"Liar" Wei Ying said as he pouted. Lan Zhan then carried Wei Ying and headed into JingShi. "Lan
Er Ge Ge! What are you doing?! Lan Zhan! Put me down!" Wei Ying said, trying to wriggle his
way out.

Wei Ying was then gently placed on the bed as Lan Zhan hovered over him. "Lan... Lan Zhan..."

Wei Ying muttered, then whispered "we've already done it this morning..."

Lan Zhan looked at his cute blushing lover and couldn't help but kiss his enticing lips. "Wei Ying,
you're mine..."

"Mn, I'm yours, Lan Zhan" Wei Ying replied. Just as Wei Ying was getting absorbed in the kiss
while Lan Zhan reaches under his robes, knocks from the door came.

"Lan Er Gong Zi, Wei Gong Zi, Lan Sect Leader and Mister Lan has called for the two of you."

Lan Zhan had reluctance written over his face. Wei Ying giggled and pulled him up. "Lan Zhan,
let's go before Old Mister Lan gets angry."

"Wei Ying" Lan Zhan said in a low tone. "Alright alright, Mister Lan" Wei Ying replied.

"ShuFu" Lan Zhan corrected him. Wei Ying giggled "Lan Zhan, there's still a week!"

They then headed to Lan QiRen's room, where he and XiChen were drinking tea. They entered and
bowed, greeting the both of them. Lan QiRen gave them a nod of acknowledgement and XiChen
asked them to sit.

XiChen looked behind them for a moment then said "You're here. We were wondering if your
happened to be caught up on the way here" with a welcoming smile.

Wei Ying just blushed while Lan Zhan pulled him over to take a seat. Lan Zhan poured tea for Wei
Ying, then refilled Lan QiRen's and XiChen's tea before pouring some for himself.

Lan XiChen started the conversation. "So... I have heard everything from ShuFu."

Lan Zhan looked at XiChen and asked "XiongZhang, what do you think?"

"I agree with settling Wen Sect first then observe Meng Yao" Lan XiChen replied "but... what are
your plans?"

"We'll let things happen but not let them burn Cloud Recesses down and not let them take down
Yunmeng Jiang Sect." Wei Ying said with determination in his voice.

Lan QiRen looked at Wei Ying. He was serious when he needed to. Lan QiRen actually felt that
Wei Ying is a skilled and promising cultivator. His only downside was his rowdiness and Stygian
Tiger Metal.

Lan XiChen looked at Wei Ying and smiled "I heard that brother-in-law is going to recreate
Stygian Tiger Metal. I'll be counting on you to help us."
Lan Zhan flashed a smile which left Lan QiRen and Lan XiChen utterly shocked. Wei Ying looked
down and blushed. "Bro-Brother-in-law..." Wei Ying whispered.

Lan QiRen then cleared his throat and said softly "Stay safe". He certainly knew how Burial
Mounds was filled with resentful energy. Even though it had already greatly decreased due to Wei
Ying, when he went there after 13 years, the amount of resentful energy wasn't small.

Besides, even though Wei Ying managed to come out, his change had indicated how horrifying
that place is and he certainly suffered more than anyone would ever know. Anything could happen
and Lan QiRen sincerely wanted Wei Ying to be safe.

The three of them looked at him in shock. "Mister Lan, thank you..." Wei Ying certainly didn't
expect that.

Lan QiRen cleared his throat again and corrected him "ShuFu" before hurriedly grabbing his cup
and sipping tea.

Wei Ying blushed and Lan Zhan held his hand tightly. Wei Ying gave a wide smile and thanked
him again. He was accepted. He thought that Lan QiRen might have wanted to cancel their
marriage.

This acceptance meant a lot to Wei Ying. He could feel what the other version of him felt when it
ended. Lost, with no place he belonged to, no home he could return to. The only thing he had
which comforted him and meant the most to him was Lan Zhan.

Lan QiRen then dismissed all of them, but held Lan Zhan back. Lan XiChen stood outside the
Library Pavilion and Wei Ying went up to him.

"Lan Sect Leader" Wei Ying called out.

"Brother-in-law" Lan XiChen turned around and corrected him.

Wei Ying smiled and bashfully continued "Brother-in-law, you've seen Jin GuangYao. What do
you think about him?"

"He... he seems innocent and someone who feels inferior." Lan XiChen replied as he signaled him
to enter the Library Pavilion. This was not a topic that could be discussed out in the open.

Wei Ying nodded his head and followed. "Well, we all thought so... but brother-in-law, in our other
version you were very close to him, calling him 'A-Yao'."

"I heard that he saved me when I was fleeing Cloud Recesses." XiChen responded.

Wei Ying nodded his head. "Lan Zhan said that you like Jiang Cheng. I just hope... you won't hurt
him."

XiChen gave him a puzzled look "Why would I hurt him?"

"In the previous version... the way you acted seemed like you were in love with Jin GuangYao"
Wei Ying said.

XiChen looked at him and thought for a while, then smiled. "Brother-in-law, don't worry. I truly
like WanYin."

Wei Ying then nodded his head and smiled. Just then, Lan Zhan walked in. Though he knew that
XiChen likes Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying belongs to him, he couldn't help but get jealous at the
both of them smiling at each other.

Lan Zhan went up to Wei Ying's side and held his hand. XiChen smiled, knowing that Lan Zhan
was jealous. Clueless Wei Ying looked at Lan Zhan "Lan Zhan! You're here!”
 Back Mountains

Lan Zhan nodded his head. "ShuFu said we can study the music books in the Room of Forbidden
Books and occasionally go to the back mountains (to see if there is another whirpool like the other
version of them got sucked into)"

Wei Ying smiled, excited to study on other music. "What about Lan... Brother-in-law?"

Lan XiChen smiled. "I have looked through them but... they didn't seem to be of interest to me.
Brother-in-law, please make good use of them."

Wei Ying nodded his head, feeling as if he got a new mission while Lan Zhan beamed, pleased at
hearing his brother address Wei Ying as brother-in-law. Lan XiChen then excused himself. Lan
Zhan hugged Wei Ying and Wei Ying smiled "Lan Zhan, shall we head to the back mountains
first? I hope to see the rabbits soon"

Lan Zhan nodded his head. Wei Ying then turned around "Why don't we go in through the cave
exit? Lan QiRen brought you guys there before right?" (when they were running from wen sect)

Lan Zhan shook his head. "Let time take it's course." Wei Ying thought for a while then nodded
his head.

"Mn, let's go then."

At the back mountains, Lan Zhan folded his robes neatly while Wei Ying threw his robes around.
Lan Zhan was about to enter the Cold Spring when Wei Ying grabbed his hand and stopped him.

"Lan Er Ge Ge, not taking off your pants?" Wei Ying said with a wide smile. "It's very cold" Lan
Zhan replied.

Wei Ying wrapped his arms around Lan Zhan's neck. "Lan Er Ge Ge, you'll warm me up right?"

Lan Zhan eyes widened slightly. He pulled off Wei Ying's pants, then his, and placed it at the
rocks right by the side of the Cold Spring, just in case anything happened.

Lan Zhan then princess-carried a giggling Wei Ying into the Cold Spring. "AHHH" Wei Ying
screamed and threw his arms wildly. "It's cold, it's cold, Lan Zhan, help!!!"

Lan Zhan kissed him on his cheek and said "Wei Ying, I'm already hugging you"

Wei Ying let go of Lan Zhan and rubbed his hands furiously. "Hehe... I forgot how cold it was.
Lan Zhan! Warm me up!"

Lan Zhan immediately pulled Wei Ying back into his embrace with a deep, heated, fierce kiss and
only pulled away when Wei Ying was left breathless.

"Lan Zhan... I meant hugging me to warm me up..." Wei Ying said, pouting. "You seduced me"
Lan Zhan claimed, wrapping his arms around Wei Ying's waist.

"Hehe, Lan Zhan, I was turned on by the kiss but the Cold Spring is so cold that it cooled me
downa already" Wei Ying said, then turned around to wander off.

However, Lan Zhan didn't let him. Lan Zhan was not going to lose to the Cold Spring. He grabbed
Wei Ying and pulled him back into his embrace.
"Lan Zhan, what are you ahhh... mnnnn..." Wei Ying started moaning as Lan Zhan sucked on the
back of his neck with one hand playing with his nipples, the other stroking his cock.

"Lan Zhan.... Mnnn... Nghhh..." Wei Ying moaned as Lan Zhan stroke faster and started fingering
Wei Ying.

Suddenly, Lan Zhan pulled out his fingers. Wei Ying was about to whimper when he was suddenly
thrusted into with Lan Zhan's huge, hard dick.

Wei Ying came continuously as Lan Zhan thrusted continuously in him. Lan Zhan was taller than
Wei Ying and the sight of Wei Ying's cock cumming continuously in pleasure turned Lan Zhan on
even greater.

Lan Zhan shifted Wei Ying to let him rest his hands on the rocks as his body formed an 'r' shape,
then grabbed Wei Ying's hips and thrusted into him even more fiercely.

Wei Ying kept moaning and calling out Lan Zhan's name and came for the second time. Lan Zhan
then pulled out and came onto the entrance of Wei Ying's hole.

Lan Zhan then turned Wei Ying around and kissed him. Hugging him, he asked "Wei Ying, are
you feeling warm?"

"Lan Zhan..." Wei Ying called out as he was still panting and blushed as he said "You... You came
on my butt..."

Lan Zhan looked down then kissed Wei Ying on his lips. Slowly, he carried Wei Ying up and
spread his butt cheeks while slowly pushing his dick in.

Lan Zhan then sat at the bottom of the Cold Spring near the rocks, which made Wei Ying yelp at
the sudden coldness.

Wei Ying wrapped his arms and legs around Lan Zhan's body and kissed him as Lan Zhan thrusted
Wei Ying up and down.

Wei Ying became tired and leaned his head against Lan Zhan's shoulders as Lan Zhan did the
work. Soon, they both came.

Wei Ying was tired and Lan Zhan decided to go easy on him. Lan Zhan back-hugged Wei Ying as
Wei Ying leaned on Lan Zhan. "This is comfortable" Wei Ying sighed in content.

Lan Zhan started meditating in that position. Wei Ying got bored and tried talking to him but there
was no response. He then wanted to get up and walk around but couldn't move as he was held
tightly by Lan Zhan.

Soon, Wei Ying fell asleep while leaning against Lan Zhan. Lan Zhan opened his eyes to see his
cute, naked Wei Ying asleep.

Lan Zhan wanted to attack Wei Ying there but decided not to disturb his sleep. After dressing Wei
Ying and himself up, he princess-carried Wei Ying to JingShi and laid him on the bed.

Lan Zhan cuddled Wei Ying and stroked his hair, occasionally planting kisses on his forehead,
eyes, nose, lips and cheeks.

Wei Ying only woke up close to dinner time and frowned as he looked around but did not see Lan
Zhan. Sighing, he buried his face in their pillow and breathed in Lan Zhan's scent.
'How nice' Wei Ying smiled.

After sniffing for some time, Wei Ying started kicking his legs up and down and throwing his
hands about. "Lan Zhan... where are youuuu..." Wei Ying mumbled as he snuggled into the pillow.

Lan Zhan had been watching Wei Ying from outside the door and caught Wei Ying sniffing the
pillow. Feeling happy, he brought the two trays of food in.

Wei Ying turned around as soon as he heard sounds and smelled the spicy food. Happily, he
jumped up. "Oooh, Lan Zhan! You got me spicy food!"

"Mn" Lan Zhan replied as he poured tea for the two of them. Wei Ying happily sat down and eyed
the delicious food. "One day I'll cook for you, Lan Zhan."
 Tomorrow

Lan Zhan was happy but remembered how he added many red peppers into the porridge (in their
other version) and hesitated... After a moment, he simply nodded his head.

Wei Ying grinned and started gobbling down food. "Lan Zhan, where did you go just now?" Lan
Zhan placed down his chopsticks and replied "CaiYi Town"

"Oh, you returned quickly" Wei Ying responded and Lan Zhan replied "Mn" before continuing
eating.

Lan Zhan had rushed to CaiYi Town to stock up on lots of Tian Zi Xiao, lots of Wei Ying's
favourite preserved snacks and bought some spicy dishes for dinner today. He finished storing the
items under his room's floor and prepared dinner on the tray just as Wei Ying woke up. He didn't
want to be late for Wei Ying's dinner.

Lan Zhan watched as Wei Ying happily ate up, feeling a sense of accomplishment and happiness.

"Say, I moaned so loudly at the Cold Spring, do you think anyone else heard?" Wei Ying suddenly
asked curiously. Lan Zhan halted then calmly replied "I doubt so"

Wei Ying then continued "Lan Zhan, just imagine if a disciple walked past us or heard me calling
out your name... isn't that embarrassing for you?"

Wei Ying then giggled uncontrollably as he said "It'll be worse if it's Old Mister-... if it's ShuFu or
brother-in-law!"

Lan Zhan shook his head and continued eating, but his ears turned slightly pink. Even though it
didn't matter much to him, it would indeed be embarrassing. Besides, he didn't want anyone else to
look at Wei Ying's body or hear his pleasant moans either.

The next days, they spent most of their time at the Room of Forbidden Books, then the Cold
Spring, followed by the JingShi. They had the same routine, going to these three places (mainly to
relax, study and sleep but occasionally did some exciting activities) and without fail, Lan Zhan
would cuddle Wei Ying to sleep every night.

They then travelled back to Lotus Pier for the wedding. Wei Ying and Lan Zhan insisted for it to
be lowkey and simple. That was enough for them, especially at such a timing with Wen Sect.

It is a tradition that they shouldn't meet a night before the wedding ceremony. On that night, Wei
Ying hugged Lan Zhan tightly. "Lan Zhan, I'm going to miss you" Wei Ying whined cutely.

Jiang Cheng stood by the side "Wei WuXian! You're just separating for the night! You can see him
tomorrow, it's not like you're separating forever!"

Jiang Yanli giggled as Wei Ying stuck out his tongue at Jiang Cheng. However, Lan Zhan turned
Wei Ying's face and gave him a deep kiss. Jiang Yanli embarrassedly excused herself while Jiang
Cheng blushed and stormed off.

"Lan... Lan Zhan... huff" Wei Ying panted. Lan Zhan looked at Wei Ying and couldn't help but
want more.

Lan Zhan's breath got heavy. "Tomorrow"

"Mn, tomorrow Lan Zhan, I can't wait. I'm so nervous" Wei Ying said, hugging Lan Zhan tightly
again.

"Me too" Lan Zhan said as he took a deep breath and exhaled. "Wei Ying, I love you"

Wei Ying smiled and rubbed Lan Zhan's groin. "Lan Zhan, I love you too." Then, with a peck on
the lips, Wei Ying said "See you tomorrow!" and escaped, leaving Lan Zhan stunned there.

'It's fine...' Lan Zhan thought 'Tomorrow and everyday after that I'll be able to hold you...'

That night, Wei Ying was so nervous he tossed and turned in bed. To make it worse, Lan Zhan
wasn't there to hold him.

Lan Zhan wasn't any better. He was so happy, nervous and excited that his daily routine wasn't
enough to help him sleep.

Wei Ying got up and headed over to Lan Zhan's room. After knocking, Wei Ying asked softly.
"Lan Zhan, are you sleeping yet?"

Lan Zhan got up and Wei Ying who heard shuing noises immediately exclaimed "Lan Zhan! Don't
come out! I just couldn't sleep... Let me talk to you till I feel sleepy."

Lan Zhan nodded his head, forgetting Wei Ying couldn't see him. "Lan Zhan, won't you reply me
and talk to me?"

Lan Zhan couldn't see Wei Ying but could imagine him pouting as he said that sentence. "Mn" Lan
Zhan replied as he sat at the entrance of the door, watching Wei Ying lean against the other side of
the door through his shadow.

"Wei Ying, I miss you" Lan Zhan said, bringing smiles to Wei Ying's face.

Wei Ying relaxed after listening to Lan Zhan's voice. "Lan Zhan, I miss you too, I couldn't sleep
without you beside me."

"Me too" Lan Zhan said then got up. "Lan Zhan! Don't leave me yet!" Wei Ying immediately said.

"I won't" Lan Zhan replied. Wei Ying turned around to watch Lan Zhan's shadow, then smiled as
he leaned back against the door.

Lan Zhan walked back and sat in the same position, with his qin on his lap. Lan Zhan then started
playing the song "Wu Ji".

Wei Ying closed his eyes and enjoyed the melody. He started humming to it but soon after, went
silent. Lan Zhan finished the song and softly asked "Wei Ying, are you asleep?"

Wei Ying who had fallen asleep did not reply. Lan Zhan quietly opened his door and smiled as he
saw Wei Ying asleep.

Lan Zhan squatted beside Wei Ying and caressed his face, kissed his forehead and lips, then
princess carried him back to his room. After tucking him in bed, Lan Zhan couldn't help but climb
into his bed and cuddle him.

After squeeze hugging Wei Ying a few times, showering his face with endless kisses and staring at
his sleeping face for some time, Lan Zhan then reluctantly returned to his room.

And so, after a long night, the day they had been waiting for finally arrived.
 Wedding

Morning came and Lan Zhan as usual woke up at am. He prepared himself and waited. Despite his
calm face, he was feeling very nervous and excited.

When Wei Ying woke up, he rushed to get ready. He sat on his bed, nervously fidgeting about,
waiting for Lan Zhan to come and fetch him.

Finally! The door opened. He looked with widened eyes and anticipation but got disappointed.
"Jiang Cheng! Why is it you?!"

Jiang Cheng felt like hitting him "It isn't even time yet, why are you so disappointed?!"

ShiJie then said "A-Xian, you're getting married before the both of us!" Wei Ying smiled and
happily said "ShiJie, don't worry. It's your turn next year!"

However, seeing Jiang Cheng and Yanli's shocked faces, Wei Ying covered his mouth with both
hands. "Errr..."

"Is that part of the future you went through?" Jiang Yanli asked. Jiang FengMian had told Yu
ZiYuan and the two of them that they saw the future and experienced it, but only revealed bad Wen
Sect, bad Jin GuangYao, the annihilation of Yunmeng Jiang Sect and about Wei Ying.

Wei Ying nodded his head and Jiang Cheng got nervous. "What about me..." Wei Ying stifled a
laugh. "Jiang Cheng, you were still single after 13 years! Hahaha!"

Jiang Cheng was about to smack him when Wei Ying said "But! Don't worry, it'll change soon."
Jiang Cheng blushed and mumbled "How would you know?!", even though he liked what he heard.

Jiang Yanli then said "Alright, Lan Er Gong Zi will be coming soon. Let's get ready." Jiang Yanli
and a few other disciples then started decorating Wei Ying's room which was going to be the bridal
chamber.

In an hour's time, (though it felt like infinity for Wei Ying) the door opened again. Wei Ying was
made to cover his face with a cloth (as part of the tradition).

Looking down, he saw Lan Zhan's shoes and couldn't help but smile widely. Lan Zhan paused a
moment seeing Wei Ying in red, then hooked their arms and said "Wei Ying, I'm here"

Wei Ying replied "Mn" but couldn't be happier. He was anticipating seeing Lan Zhan in red as all
he ever wore was white. They then nervously walked to the hall with the help of Jiang Cheng and
Yanli.

In the hall, Jiang FengMian, Yu ZiYuan, Lan QiRen and Lan XiChen sat at the front. One side
was taken up by Yunmeng disciples and a few from Gusu.

The other had Nie MingJue, Nie HuaiSang and Meng Yao, Jin ZiXuan and Madam Jin, a few
disciples from both sects and some other sects.

There were also surprise visitors who came the day before. Xiao XingChen, Xue Yang and Song
Lan. Xiao XingChen had gave Wei Ying a special signal to call for him if he ever needed help.

Wei Ying set the signal off and Xiao XingChen arrived in a hurry but was met with good news.
When they arrived, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan were shocked. "Xue Yang?!" Wei Ying exclaimed
while Lan Zhan kept his guard up.

The three of them were surprised while Xue Yang asked "Do you know me?" Wei Ying hesitated
and Xiao XingChen said "This is Xue Yang, my lover"

This left Wei Ying and Lan Zhan in greater shock. Wei Ying smiled and shook his head, then
reached his hand out to shake hands with Xue Yang.

The five of them spent the day together while Jiang Cheng hung out with XiChen and Yanli with
ZiXuan. Wei Ying and Xue Yang got along very well. They were both mischevious and played
pranks on others (something Lan Zhan and XingChen would stop them from doing) and they
secretly talked about being a bottom in bed.

Lan QiRen raged when he saw Xue Yang but Wei Ying and Lan Zhan calmed him down, saying
they will discuss the matter after the marriage.

Everyone was seated and chatting with each other. Jiang Cheng and Yanli then brought Wei Ying
and Lan Zhan in. Everyone immediately stood up.

Wei Ying and Lan Zhan then stood in the middle and bowed 3 times. First to the heaven and earth,
then to the parents (they bowed to Jiang FengMian, Yu ZiYuan, Lan QiRen and Lan XiChen), then
to each other.

They then walked to Wei Ying's room, the bridal chamber. Finally, the moment came as Lan Zhan
unveiled Wei Ying. The suspense made both their hearts thump wildly.

The moment the cloth was off, Lan Zhan couldn't help but reveal a smile. Wei Ying looked
perfect, handsome yet beautiful in red. Wei Ying also stared at Lan Zhan.

Some couldn't help but chuckle and a disciple came forward, bringing two cups of tea. As Gusu
Lan Sect couldn't drink wine, the had replaced it with tea.

They hooked their arms and Wei Ying was smirking from ear to ear. They held eye contact till Lan
QiRen couldn't stand it and cleared his throat. They then drank from their cups.

Next, they were to tie a knot on each other. Lan Zhan used his forehead ribbon to tie a knot on Wei
Ying's arm while Wei Ying used the red ribbon he always used for his hair.

A disciple then served Wei Ying dumplings that weren't totally cooked. The disciple then asked "Is
it raw?"

Some people couldn't help but started chuckling. Wei Ying's face had turned beet red. He then
whispered "raw", even though it was clearly heard by everyone and it brought a smile to Lan
Zhan's face again.

Everyone then left the room as the celebrations would be held the next day. Lan Zhan held Wei
Ying's hand. "Wei Ying, I love you."

Wei Ying smiled and gave Lan Zhan a kiss. "Lan Zhan, I love you too. I couldn't focus on the
wedding because you kept smiling."

Lan Zhan flashed a smile for Wei Ying then said "I wanted to kiss you the whole time", making
Wei Ying blushed again. Wei Ying then climbed onto Lan Zhan's lap and whispered in his ear
"Lan Zhan, it's time..."
Lan Zhan's breath hitched as he wrapped his arms around Wei Ying's waist and called out "Wei
Ying..."

***NOTES***
Traditionally, they will feed the bride dumplings and ask "Is it raw?" She will have to say "Raw",
which means that she will give birth.
 Wedding 2

Wei Ying looked at Lan Zhan and grinned and teased "Hubby, I'm not a virgin, will you still love
me and want me?"

Lan Zhan pushed Wei Ying down "I will. I'll love you forever. Besides, your first time was mine"

Wei Ying blushed "Lan Zhan..." and wrapped his arms around Lan Zhan's neck. "Lan Zhan, since i
said 'raw', now they all expect me to have a kid."

Lan Zhan replied "Mn" then gave Wei Ying a gentle kiss, which slowly turned aggressive. Wei
Ying pulled open Lan Zhan's robes and stroke his bare chest.

Lan Zhan then undressed Wei Ying, leaving him naked on the bed. Lan Zhan stared at beautiful
Wei Ying, making Wei Ying blush. "Lan Zhan... stop staring..."

"Wei Ying, I love you" Lan Zhan said, then started leaving his marks on Wei Ying's fair skin. Wei
Ying moaned as Lan Zhan marked him while fingering him.

In no time, Wei Ying was prepared and Lan Zhan thrusted into him, hard. "Nghh! Lan Zhan!" Wei
Ying moaned.

Lan Zhan stroke Wei Ying's dick as he thrusted into Wei Ying "Nghh!! Lan Er Ge Ge! Slow...
down...!"

Wei Ying was very pleasured from the front and back, so much that he felt so dizzyly helpless. Lan
Zhan continued thrusting into Wei Ying, fast, deep and fiercely.

Wei Ying soon came but Lan Zhan continued stroking and thrusting, making Wei Ying cum
continuously. "Sen... Sensitive... Lan Zhan... Nghh... Ahhh..."

They went on for 3 more rounds till Wei Ying pleaded for a break. "Lan Zhan, why are you so
rough today?" Wei Ying asked. Lan Zhan kept quiet but hugged Wei Ying tightly.

Wei Ying chuckled then said "Lan Zhan, how about this time you be the bottom?" Lan Zhan
widened his eyes in surprise. "... Why... all of a sudden..."

"Xue Yang told me he tried to top XingChen once and XingChen actually let him! But they settled
on Xue Yang being bottom. Lan Er Ge Ge, why don't we try it too? Hehe..." Wei Ying grinned
sheepishly.

Lan Zhan grit his teeth hearing 'Xue Yang'. He hugged Wei Ying even tighter "Wei Ying, you
promised to try not to get too close to others..."

Lan Zhan had been jealous yesterday, since Xue Yang kept dragging Wei Ying away to have fun
and play pranks on others. Lan Zhan could not take it seeing Wei Ying enjoying himself with
another man and wanted to drag him away the whole time.

Wei Ying thought for a while and responded "Lan Zhan, Xue Yang isn't bad now. He is madly in
love with Xiao XingChen. I believe he'll help us."

Lan Zhan shook his head "Don't get too close to him... He even held your hand yesterday..."

Wei Ying then burst into laughter "Lan Zhan, he loves Xiao XingChen" Lan Zhan replied "Mn,
but..." and was interrupted by Wei Ying.

"Lan Zhan, the one I love is you" Wei Ying said. Lan Zhan replied "Mn, but... don't get too close
to anybody else"

Wei Ying grinned "Alright, I'll try not to. Lan Er Ge Ge, you're not done with just rounds right?
Hehe"

Lan Zhan kissed Wei Ying and said "Mn, not done" and hovered over Wei Ying. "Wei Ying, I love
you"

Wei Ying smiled and replied "Lan Zhan, I love you too" as he wrapped his arms and legs around
Lan Zhan.

They then continued till they were both exhausted. Wei Ying immediately fell asleep and Lan
Zhan cuddled Wei Ying for some time, before getting up to clean the both of them up, then going
back into bed.

Hugging Wei Ying, Lan Zhan observed him for a while. Wei Ying occasionally snuggled against
Lan Zhan's chest, making Lan Zhan smile unknowingly.

Kissing Wei Ying on his forehead, Lan Zhan said "Wei Ying, I love you. Goodnight" before
drifting off to sleep.

Wei Ying who woke up when Lan Zhan cleaned him up smiled and gave Lan Zhan a peck on the
lips, then snuggled against his chest again "Lan Zhan, I love you, goodnight"

The next day, they had the wedding celebration. It was crazy as Wei Ying got himself drunk and
was jumping about, making lots of noises and clinging onto Lan Zhan, all to Lan QiRen's
disapproval.

Lan XiChen asked Jiang Cheng if he wanted to step out for a while and Jiang Cheng readily agreed
while blushing.

That night, half sobered half drunk Wei Ying got the chance to have a long and rough sex session
with drunk Lan Zhan.

By the time they ended their sex session, both of them had sobered up already. Giggling Wei Ying
hugged Lan Zhan tightly. "Hehe we're so sticky"

"Mn" Lan Zhan replied. It was Wei Ying beside him so he didn't mind the stickiness at all.

"Lan Zhan, thanks for marrying me" Wei Ying said. Lan Zhan shook his head "Thanks for
marrying me, Wei Ying"

"But Lan Zhan, we can only have our delayed honeymoon after the issue with Wen Sect" Wei
Ying said.

"Everyday with you is a honeymoon" Lan Zhan replied, making Wei Ying shocked. Wei Ying
clutched his heart and exclaimed "Lan Zhan! You're attacking me with your sweet words!"

Lan Zhan gave him a kiss and Wei Ying said "Lan Zhan, I'm happy whenever I'm with you."

Lan Zhan flashed him a smile and replied "Me too."

Just like that, they hugged each other tightly and drifted off to sleep in each other's embrace,
looking forward to spend the next day and everyday after that with each other.
