Arc 5: Chapter 25
Lin Yuan was kissed until his head was dizzy and muddleheaded. He also wanted to ask Xie Hanzhou, isn’t this enough, how long would he continue to kiss??
Although Yu Sui’an’s ointment was useful, and could heal his bitten lips and bruised tongue, he could still feel tired ah!
Lin Yuan weakly pushed at Xie Hanzhou. Lying underneath the man, his eyes brimmed with tears and his cheeks flushed deeply. His plump and moist lips seemed unable to close, revealing a glimpse of his tender, crimson tongue.
“Master…”
Lin Yuan was so exhausted. His mouth and tongue were numb. His long lashes drooped and he murmured softly: “No more kissing… Master… I really can’t anymore…”
Xie Hanzhou estimated the time and felt that he had indeed got enough repayment, and even some interest. The stifled fire that the Clear Heart Sutra couldn’t even extinguish had finally dissipated.
He hugged Lin Yuan in his arms: “Didn’t you like it the most when Master treated you like this? What’s the matter tonight?”
Lin Yuan snuggled into a comfortable position in Xie Hanzhou’s embrace and whispered: “Even if I like it… you can’t kiss for so long…”
Lin Yuan asked 521 with embarrassment: “That… how long did we kiss?”
521, having been blown by the cold wind outside for two hours, was now a scruffy fur ball. He said with a hint of resentment: “Two hours, nine minutes, and thirty-four seconds.”
Lin Yuan: …!!
He actually spent so long kissing, no wonder his mouth and tongue hurt so much!
Lin Yuan sighed and softly protested to Xie Hanzhou: “Master, can we not kiss for so long in the future? It felt like over an hour…”
Xie Hanzhou’s patted the youth’s back with his wide palm, and then slid upwards to massage the youth’s neck: “Complaining to me is useless, you should talk to your senior brother about this.”
Lin Yuan was both surprised and embarrassed, he asked with burning ears: “You… you know what Senior Brother and I did today?”
Xie Hanzhou’s eyes narrowed slightly as he recalled the Clear Heart Sutra he had copied earlier, and said in a low voice: “It would be impossible to not know.”
The feeling of the little disciple’s soft tongue and smooth lips that teased in between his was indeed an addicting feeling, but it also angered him and distributed his heart.
Still, he didn't blame his little disciple. He knew that having to deal with both Yu Sui’an and himself would be tiring for Lin Yuan, but it was a necessary consequence.
Lin Yuan was still ashamed about the fact that Xie Hanzhou knew about his kiss with Yu Sui’an: “So you were angry? Is that why you were like that?”
Xie Hanzhou caressed his little disciple’s hot cheek, and his dark eyes that were as calm as midnight waters rippled with tenderness. He said coolly: “Master wasn’t angry. Since I agreed to this arrangement, I won’t get angry… but I will be jealous. Seeing him cling to you so unreasonably, Master naturally has to retaliate and make him take a step back.”
Xie Hanzhou lightly and slowly stroked Lin Yuan’s smooth neck with his hand, but his deeply hidden possessiveness tumbled in its cage, unknown to no one: “Otherwise, having two husbands will make you too tired in the future.”
Lin Yuan’s face was still red, but he admitted that Xie Hanzhou was right. If he spent every day in the future kissing for so long, he definitely wouldn’t be able to bear it.
Lin Yuan raised his hand up and swore: “Master, this disciple swears that in the future, I will limit intimacy with Senior Brother to a quarter of an hour.”
The thought of limiting Yu Sui’an to a quarter of an hour was a wonderful idea to Xie Hanzhou, but if Yu Sui’an was bound by this rule, he would undoubtedly have to follow it as well.
In that case, a quarter of an hour was far too short.
Xie Hanzhou didn’t want to let Yu Sui’an off lightly, but he also didn’t want to restrain himself. It would be such a waste not to cherish his sweet, tender disciple for longer.
Holding his soft little disciple, the man slightly pursed his thin lips, and leisurely grasped Lin Yuan’s thin wrist with one hand, as if playing with a piece of fine jade.
“Your senior brother is young and his cultivation is lacking, how can a quarter of an hour be enough for someone like him who is as fierce as a wolf or tiger?” Xie Hanzhou lightly kissed Lin Yuan’s wrist, and said quietly: “At most three quarters of an hour.”
Hearing this, Lin Yuan understood in his heart that Xie Hanzhou wanted to spend more time with himself, and he felt very happy. He rubbed against Xie Hanzhou’s neck and smiled brightly: “Okay~ I’ll listen to you~”
Xie Hanzhou’s narrow eyes curved. He liked seeing his little disciple’s lively and cute appearance. Suddenly thinking of something, he said meaningfully: “Today, I heard your senior brother call you Sui Sui.”
Lin Yuan hummed and answered casually: “Master, that’s because Sui Sui is my nickname.”
Xie Hanzhou lowered his head, his thin lips brushing against Lin Yuan’s ear, and his voice carrying a gloomy undertone: “Then why didn’t you tell Master?”
Afraid that Xie Hanzhou would get angry, Lin Yuan took the initiative to kiss him, pecking at his lips. "You are my master, isn’t it too presumptuous to tell you my childhood nickname?"
Xie Hanzhou didn’t let his little disciple off so easily. He pressed the back of Lin Yuan’s head and kissed those rosy lips once more, deepening the kiss until his little disciple melted bonelessly in his arms before finally letting go.
“Yes, I am your master, but I am also Sui Sui’s husband, am I not? You can’t favor one over the other like this in the future, do you know?"
Lin Yuan obediently nodded: “I know,” And added with a yawn: “Master, I’m tired. I want to sleep.”
Xie Hanzhou immediately helped him take off his outer robes and covered the youth with his blanket. He pulled the bed’s gauze canopy down, and hugged his little disciple again on the bed. Xie Hanzhou kissed Lin Yuan’s forehead lightly and whispered: “Sleep, Master will stay with you.”

The next morning, under the urging of his fellow classmates, Lin Yuan was about to leave his room when Xie Hanzhou hugged him in his lap and kissed him for a full 15 minutes, making his face flushed and legs weak.
A classmate noticed Lin Yuan’s slightly swollen lips and commented curiously: “Brother Lin, did you eat too many spicy dishes last night?”
Lin Yuan covered his face with some embarrassment and then said a little proudly: “I ate for more than three hours yesterday.”
Shocked: “More than three hours? Was it a spicy dish or a divine elixir? Where did you eat it, I’m interested.”
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow and said before skipping off: “It was something only I can eat, don’t think about it.”

Leaving his little disciple’s room, Xie Hanzhou stepped into the cold chamber. Wearing crimson robes, Yu Sui’an entered behind him.
Yu Sui’an’s long robes loosely hung off his shoulders, revealing hard lines of muscles and bone, and his pale skin contrasted greatly against the scattered, silky hair. His amber eyes were full of heavy shadows, and dark flames burned as he glared at Xie Hanzhou.
“I waited all night for you to leave Lin Yuan’s room,” Yu Sui’an sneered.
Xie Hanzhou sat behind his desk and began to rewrite the Clear Heart Sutra silently. He said indifferently: “When you get rid of your heart demons, you can make me wait an entire night as well.”
Yu Sui’an’s lips curved sarcastically: “Look at what you’re saying, have you forgotten that this is your heart demon?”
Xie Hanzhou’s brush continued to flow, writing each stroke with imbued strength: “So what? If you feel that it’s unfair, I can devour you and erase the Demon Lord from existence.”
“I am no longer the man who was once trapped in a solitary fortress, and my way forward is within reach. You have also seen the path ahead, so why are you making a fuss now?”
Yu Sui’an really didn’t like Xie Hanzhou’s lofty, poised appearance, as if he had everything figured out. But thinking of how Sui Sui, his little liar, had dragged him down from his pedestal, he felt a faint sense of satisfaction.
Yu Sui’an stood quietly by the cold chamber’s entrance with his hands clasped behind his back. In front lay mountain ranges and boundless valleys, he said lowly: “Xie Hanzhou, yesterday, I heard that bastard’s voice. You should be able to guess what he said.”
Xie Hanzhou’s hand faltered, and he felt as if he was frozen in place.
After a long pause, his movements started again, as he attempted to continue copying the Clear Heart Sutra to calm his turbulent Dao heart: “Break through your realm first. I will also enter seclusion and break through. After that, we will take Lin Yuan back to the Northern Frost Region together.”
“One more thing, if this trip goes smoothly, when we return, you need to restrain yourself. You can be intimate with Lin Yuan, but don’t go too far. It’s not yet time for us to dual cultivate with him.”
Yu Suian frowned slightly. “What do you mean?”
Xie Hanzhou slowly lifted his gaze, his pitch-black eyes tinged with a hidden crimson glow, deep and unfathomable: “He is still young and his cultivation is too weak. Once he advances in his Dao, the two of us can use our primordial energy to assist him during dual cultivation, which should help him break through the Heavenly Realm and reach the Supreme Path."
Yu Sui’an: "…"
Woww, what a good Master to even think about teaching his disciple during dual cultivation.
Ridiculous.
