Their souls touched, pleasurable to the point of intoxication. Qingtong was so immersed in this, that he did not notice Mo Tianliao’s movements.
The feeling against Mo Tianliao’s hand was soft and silky, like touching a piece of translucent white nephrite. He gently caressed him, full of adoration. He told himself to stop after one touch, but his hand seemed to have a mind of its own, he could not pull it back.
“Mnnn…” The place where Qingtong was touched made him unable to hold back his voice.
It sounded in Mo Tianliao’s ear, exciting him and making him gasp, his body also responded, he could not help but knead Qingtong’s flesh.
“Mmm!” When the hot hand touched the soft swell of his rear, Qingtong finally reacted and gave that groping hand a savage scratch.
“Hsssss.” Mo Tianliao gritted his teeth and retracted his hand.
“Evil disciple, you–” Qingtong, who was about to start scolding him, suddenly lost his voice, there was something hard poking at him down there.
Mo Tianliao coughed dryly and shrank back.
Both of them were silent, the atmosphere turning momentarily awkward.
Qingtong glared at him for a bit, kicked at his calf, turned his back to him and stopped talking. That stupid idiot had, he had…
Mo Tianliao took a deep breath, regulated his breathing rhythm, and supressed the lust that had been aroused by the beauty. Once the heat in his body had somewhat cooled, he went and adhered himself to that back once more. He rubbed his chin against Qingtong’s ear and asked, “Does it still hurt?”
“Mo Tianliao, when this excellency is furless, you can’t touch, understand?” Qingtong buried half of his face in the pillow, his voice sounded a little upset.
Mo Tianliao pressed his lips into a line, he did not answer him.
Qingtong waited for a moment, when he did not get an answer, he turned to glare at him. “Are you mute?”
“I know, my Xiaozhao is no longer a kitten.” Mo Tianliao leaned over and pressed their foreheads together. When he saw Qingtong about to get angry once more, he hurriedly added, “I know it’s disrespectful.”
Those cold eyes widened slightly. You know it’s disrespectful but you still do it?
“But what am I to do? I can’t help it, why don’t you just disrespect me back?” Mo Tianliao solemnly grabbed a slender hand and pressed it to his own chest. He only wore an inner robe, and his belt had been torn open because of all the rubbing against each other, revealing his muscular chest.
Shocked, Qingtong was pulled by him, under his hand was the place he loved the most, warm and comfortable, filled with a steady heartbeat. At Absolute Death Valley three hundred years ago, he had rubbed his head against this place over and over again, but it still would not get warm.
Mo Tianliao slowly let go of the hand he was holding and let the slender fingers brush against his chest.
“Can your chest become wood?” Qingtong’s fingertips scratched curiously.
“Hm?” That tickling touch distracted Mo Tianliao. When he heard the question, he earnestly retracted his soul from his chest, his tight muscles rapidly turning into wooden boards covered in green bark. Qingtong eyes shone, his hands turned into claws, and he scratched.
In the end, Mo Tianliao, who was intending to pave the way to make his regard clear once again, had to lay stiffly on his back and let his sweetheart sharpen his claws on him for half the night; the wonderful atmosphere was gone. He could only swallow his bitter tears silently, only once his cat became tired of scratching and went to sleep, he changed his chest back into flesh and sighed helplessly.
Slowly gathering the sleeping man into his arms, Mo Tianliao kissed the hair at the top of his head and whispered, “I am not trying to disrespect you, I just can’t help myself.”
Hidden from Mo Tianliao’s view by their positioning, the ears of the person nestled against his chest quietly turned red.
The next day, Ding Zijin visited again, as expected.
Qingtong was still sleeping, Mo Tianliao set up a soundproof barrier around the bed, so as not to disturb his rest.
“My Master is still meditating; I hope that brother Ding will excuse the rudeness.” Mo Tianliao asked Ding Zijin to sit down and poured him a cup of tea.
“It was this junior who was reckless,” Ding Zijin hurriedly apologized for his rudeness while secretly observing this disciple whom Qingtong Zhenren doted on. “Is this brother Mo’s first time coming to Liuyun Sect?”
Two people, one wanting to make friends, one wanting to take advantage of the other. After spending some time together, they were as close as brothers. Mo Tianliao, as an old devil, was an expert at fishing for information. It turned out that this Ding Zijin was still after the Starfall Stone. Since the Ding family came from a long line of craftsmen, he would of course participate in the conference’s crafting competition. He was anxious to get the Starfall Stone in order to defeat his half-brother.
“I see.” Mo Tianliao smiled. “Master has given a small piece of this Starfall Stone to this brother.”
Ding Zijin lit up with anticipation, it would be much easier to get the Starfall Stone from this Golden Core cultivator than to ask Qingtong Zhenren for it.
“It’s just…” Mo Tianliao scratched his head in embarrassment. “I am also a craftsman. I was going to participate in the crafting competition too. I heard that the prize would be a Wenyu fruit.”
When Ding Zijin heard that he was also a craftsman, his heart suddenly sank, but when he heard that he was participating in order to get a Wenyu fruit, he felt his soul returning to his body. “Brother has heard incorrectly, the prize won’t be a Wenyu fruit.”
Mo Tianliao frowned, looking very disappointed.
“However, if brother wants it, there should be a way.” Ding Zijin seemed to only be making polite chat, yet his expression looked quite certain.
“Really?” Mo Tianliao looked pleasantly surprised. “To be frank, this brother is just trying to get a Wenyu fruit. I will save it so I can use it later when trying to form my Nascent Soul. If I can exchange it for the Starfall Stone, I would not even need to participate in this competition.”
The two were like lifelong friends after such a short while. Mo Tianliao said that he wanted to see the Wenyu tree for himself. Ding Zijin thought that he was just worried, so he smiled and invited him to have a look around.
The Wenyu tree was the sect’s treasure, but guests could admire it from a distance.
Mo Tianliao went to the shed and picked up the fox, saying that it was the spiritual pet Master had given him, and that he would take it with him to take a look. When the big tiger heard that they were going out to play, he also stood up.
“Big fatty, be good and stay here with Master.” Mo Tianliao rubbed da-shixiong‘s head.
“Roaaaar.” The big tiger bared his teeth, this shidi was getting more and more disrespectful towards his shixiong!
The Liuyun Sect was just as Mo Tianliao had guessed, there were barriers and arrays everywhere. Ding Zijin had a jade plaque and could enter most places.
The little fox sat on Mo Tianliao’s shoulder, he lifted his head and inhaled hard to try and differentiate between the scents. They were going down the mountain, following a long and twisting jade staircase, heading to the sect’s rear mountains, when suddenly the fox started howling.
“What’s the matter?” Mo Tianliao took the furball off his shoulder and exchanged a look with him.
Sister! I smell my sister! My sister is hurt!
The fox struggled to get down, Mo Tianliao pretended to let him slip from his grasp and let it run away.
“Ah! Oh no, brother Ding!” Mo Tianliao exclaimed, causing Ding Zijin, who was walking ahead, to turn back.
Ding Zijin saw that the Demonic Beast had run away, but he was not overly concerned. “Use your blood pact to call him back.”
“I haven’t made a blood pact with him yet!” Mo Tianliao said, and went chasing after the little fox.
“What?!” Ding Zijing was surprised and looked in the direction of the escaping fox. He frowned slightly, an unbound Demonic Beast, if someone else picked it up, it would become theirs. He still had not gotten the Starfall Stone, he could not afford to upset Mo Tianliao. It would be better to use this opportunity to have Mo Tianliao owe him a favour. “The rear mountains are covered in barriers, outsiders can’t get in. Don’t worry, I’ll help you search for him.”
The two immediately headed towards the direction the little fox had ran away.
Deep inside the dense forest, there was a row of bamboo houses, where a snow-white fox was being forced into a corner by a red fox; it shivered. She had been tortured by the Soul Subjugating Horn for a long time, she was already too weak. Even when facing this immature Demonic Beast, she would not be able to resist for long.
“Hehe, this shape-shifting Demonic Beast will definitely give birth to cubs with good spiritual roots.” Two disciples of Woyun Sect stood outside the fence, grinning and waiting for the two Demonic Beasts to copulate.
The red fox opened his mouth, showing his fangs, preparing to bite the female fox’s neck in order to subdue her.
“Awooooo.” A shrill cry sounded. Out of nowhere, the two saw a snow-white fox come running in, biting the red fox’s neck and tearing off a piece of skin.
“Brother…” The little fox in the corner of the wall shakingly raised her head. She looked at the scene in disbelief. It took her a long time to be able to react.
