The awakening of bestotted love

chapter 6

The two souls were sound asleep not bothered that the sun was already up and the day had already started.

Both were emotional and physical tired from yesterday's episode. Even the great huangunjun chose to drown in his lover's presence instead of waking up on his clan's allotted time.

Finally after a long sleep lan Zhan woke up. The first thing he saw today was not a cold, dark lifeless room but the face of his soulmate. Never before had he been this happy to wake up.

Wei ying had his face snuggled in lan Zhan's chest and his hands were clutching his robes. Lan Zhan's own hands had been securely wrapped around wei ying's waist pulling their bodies impossibly closer to each other.

Lan Zhan couldn't bare to leave his lover alone on the bed and so he decided to stay in for some time. Lan Zhan observed his lover's features in the meantime.

Wei ying has some tear stain in his face and his mouth was slightly open. He looked very defenseless and adorable. Lan Zhan wiped wei ying's face gently to avoid waking up his lover. After that lan Zhan kissed wei ying's forehead lovingly. Wei ying stirred a little but then fell asleep again.

Lan Zhan's peace was broken when a servant knocked on the door probably to inform them for breakfast. He slowly pulled himself off wei ying and went to open the door. The servant just smiled and informed him that the breakfast was ready. He nodded and told the servant to bring it up in their room.

Lan Zhan then went to freshen up as he knew that wei ying would not be waking any time soon. By the time he was done the servants had already brought their breakfast.

Lan Zhan went towards the bed to see that wei ying was still asleep. He didn't want to wake wei ying up while he was looking so cute but he knew it's better than to let him miss his breakfast.

He slowly shook wei ying and told him to wake up. Finally the grumpy wei ying woke up when his whining didn't work. Lan Zhan was amused when he saw the small pout adorning his lover. To his amusement wei ying became scarlet red when he gave a small peck to those pouty lips.

To hide his embarrassment wei ying said loudly, "Aiyo..... Lan Zhan if u had done this earlier I would have woken up much faster. If you had asked I would have given you as many kisses as you wanted.  Next time don't wake me up and just kiss me if you want. Don't need to be so sneaky. "

Lan Zhan couldn't help but smile at his lover's attempt to lessen his embarrassment. "Breakfast is ready. Come eat. " he said.

"But I haven't even washed my face lan Zhan. "

There was a small basin at the corner of the room, Lan Zhan pointed towards it.
"Go and wash up. I'll set the table. "

Wei ying nodded and went to wash his face.

The breakfast was simple and light. Lan Zhan made sure that wei ying was fed properly. Today they had decided to start traveling. They couldn't stay here much longer or else they could get caught. Lan Zhan took out some mediocre clothes for the both of them. They didn't need attention while they were on the run.

They had discussed this yesterday and both of them agreed to visit the slave market today. Even though they hated the idea of buying someone but right now they had no other choice. Without an adult accompanying them, they would surely get in trouble sooner or later.

After changing both of them left the inn. The streets where crowded and loud. Lan Zhan held wei ying's hand and started to walk towards the slave market. It was not that far and they both reached there after a few mins walk.

The market was dark and dirty. It had a gloomy vibe to it. There were people bound in shackles, some were crying while others were getting beaten. It was a very gruesome and horrifying view.

Wei ying gripped lan Zhan's hands tightly so as to not shout at such cruel and evil acts. Lan Zhan understood this and hugged him tightly blocking most of his view. The further they went, the lesser the crowd became. They went to  the far end where slaves were sold in building instead of out in the open.

They stopped in front of a big building "Black Hall" was the name written in the board. Without much thought both of them entered the building. The place was empty except a reception and a couple of chairs and tables. The worker present in the reception looked at them and smiled creepily.

"How much will you sell for." asked the creepy worker walking towards them.

Lan Zhan gave that worker a sharp glance but stopped when wei ying moved from his side.

"we are not here to sell ourselves." wei ying said.

The worker stared at them for a while then started laughing like a maniac. After a while he stopped and licked his lips.
"What else did you come here for. By the looks of your attire you two are not that rich either. If you are here for money than you have to sell yourself. I'm sure that such tender skin can be sold in a hefty price. If you don't want to sell yourself then why don't you become my bitch instead." After saying this the worker tried to touch them.

A sharp sword appeared out of thin air and it was pressed against the worker's neck.

"Touch us and I'll kill you. " saying this lan Zhan pressed the sword causing blood to ooze out from the neck.

Never before had lan Zhan felt so repulsed. The words spat by the worker were so disgusting and nauseating that it was taking all of his willpower to stop himself from killing the madman. He wanted to pull out those foul eyes that lingered towards their bodies. He wanted to cut the tongue that dared say such words.

Wei ying too was not happy with the worker. Even though he was used to such comments but that didn't mean he was not angry. How dare a mere nobody eye his lover. He will make sure to make  the vile creature live his worst nightmare. Some evil ghosts would love to haunt this man for the rest of his life, killing him slowly and painfully from inside.

A/N: I wonder whether I'm doing good or not. >_<
