Fate Of A Snow Flower

Core of Kunlun

Yunlan noticed the sparkled in Shen Wei's eyes, so he took a chance of luck. "If you'd like, I will tour you around the North Kingdom, with many snow flowers growing."

"Really!" Shen Wei's eyes grew wider as he unknowingly grabbed Yunlan's hand which almost sent Yunlan's soul flying up. Suddenly footsteps were heard running towards them that brought his soul back down.

"Gege! Gege!" Yezun came running to hug and kiss Shen Wei's cheeks. At that moment, Chu and Guo also appeared to have found them. "Wei, you're here too!" Guo cried out as he hugs and kisses Shen Wei's cheeks as well. Shen Wei noticed the three spectators frowning strangely at him, so he gently removed Yezun and Guo off him.

All sat down to take a rest around a campfire as they start discussing ways to escape unharmed. While Yezun and Guo intertwined their arms with Shen Wei's.

"Gege, how come you're here?" Yezun asked and nuzzled close to Shen Wei. "Mother allowed me to come. When I flew by the mountain, I sensed unusual energy so I came down to check." Shen Wei explained.

"How did you get into the cave? Only the Zhao's can open up the seal to the entrance!" Da Qing wondered. Shen Wei glanced at Yunlan who is also looking curiously at him. Shen Wei wanted to explain but Yezun beats him to it.

"Didn't you know that King Zhao was the one that taught my Gege? He adored my brother since young." Yezun informed. "Didi!" Shen Wei tried to shut his brother from saying anything further. Yunlan suddenly remembered how his father was looking upset upon not seeing Shen Wei earlier and made a mental note to ask his father later about it.

"Let's talk about that later," said Chu. "It's getting more dangerous here, we need to find a way out soon!" Chu looked at Yunlan for advice.

Yunlan caressed his chin as he thought about all the strange traps they have encountered.

"Are you thinking about the traps?" Shen Wei asked and continued his theory. "There's dark energy within this cave. I think someone had deliberately tried to harm us all by using this training as a cover!"

Yunlan could only grin at Shen Wei's smartness. "It's dark energy from the Dark Forest Clan! I think they must have found ways to distort this place and set dangerous traps here." Yunlan also had the same line of thought as Shen Wei.

"Dark Forest Clan? But I thought we had a peace treaty?" Shen Wei continued asking.

"Yes we did have a peace treaty, but that was before. The old leader just passed away and now his son is leading. The son is known for being vicious and holds great ambitions. It's not surprising that he wants to get rid of the Princes that will become heirs." Yunlan gave his thought.

"Then what should we do now?" Da Qing asked.

Yunlan looked over and saw that Yezun and Guo had already fallen asleep on Shen Wei's shoulders. And Shen Wei is looking tired as well. "Right now I think we should all rest up! We'll continue with this discussion tomorrow." As he eyed Chu and Da Qing to look at the sleepyheads.

They understood and scattered to find a spot to rest for the night.

**************************************************************

The group walked through the tunnel with Shen Wei, Yezun and Guo leading ahead and left the other trio pouting from behind.

Chu then whispered. "Yunlan go separate Shen Wei from Guo. Hurry!" As he intensely gazed at how Guo is very clinging to Shen Wei and has neglected him.

"How could I?" Yunlan whispered back. "Just do something!" Said Da Qing which made both Yunlan and Chu looked at Da Qing with suspicion. "Okay tell us what happened?" Yunlan arched his brow at Da Qing, demanding an answer.

WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY WITH DA QING AND YEZUN:

"Come this way! My brother is waiting for me." Yezun rushed without watching his steps. He was about to fall into a deep pit with many pointy rocks below. Luckily Da Qing was quick as he grabbed Yezun from behind which caused Yezun to fall on top of Da Qing and their lips accidentally touched.

End of Flashback~

"What you both kissed?" Chu almost screamed. "SHHH!! Not too loud! We didn't kiss, it was just an accident."Da Qing smiled remembering Yezun's soft lips upon him. "You lucky bastard. I haven't even got to kiss Guo yet and you're already a step ahead." Chu said in excitement. Both Chu and Da Qing turned to look at Yunlan who was actually lost in his thought, daydreaming of how Shen Wei's lips would feel like.

Suddenly his daydream shattered as the tunnel shook and rocks started falling above the trio that was ahead. The three quickly ran to save their lovers when warp holes started appearing and sucked them in different directions as they separated.

Before getting sucked, Yunlan had blocked Wei from getting hit by a fallen rock as it knocked him unconscious before they fell underground into the water. Shen Wei noticed that Yunlan wasn't moving so he quickly swam towards him and saw blood gushing from his forehead. Shen Wei immediately creates an air bubble shield around them.

"Yunlan! Wake up! Yunlan!" Shen Wei screamed in fear while shaking Yunlan. In a panic, the only thing that came to his mind was to save Yunlan by giving him air. So he lifted Yunlan's chin and started blowing air into Yunlan's mouth several times.

Suddenly, Shen Wei became startled when Yunlan's tongue invaded inside his mouth. He tried to move but his head was locked. "Stay still!" Yunlan mumbled into the kiss. Shen Wei who had never experience being kissed obediently listen.

After a while, Yunlan broke the kiss and looked at the now flushed red face of Shen Wei and his swollen lips with satisfaction.

Shen Wei shyly moved off Yunlan and helped him to sit up. "Is this another way to give air? Liu Yang-Ge never taught me this way." Shen Wei asked not realizing his kiss was stolen by a sly fox.

Yunlan suddenly grabbed Shen Wei's arms tightly. "Who is Liu Yang and how did he teach you?" Yunlan asked with jealousy. "He is the physician of our kingdom. He gave me a book about saving a drowning person." Shen Wei replied not understanding why Yunlan was upset.

Yunlan sighed in relief. "Xiao Wei, never perform this with anyone else. Promise me?" Yunlan requested looking serious. "Why?" Shen Wei was confused over Yunlan's request. "First give me your promise!" Yunlan repeated. Shen Wei was still not able to understand, but he agreed anyway.

**************************************************************

They floated in the bubble for a while as Shen Wei attended to Yunlan's wound on his forehead. "Look! There's an underwater entrance over there!" Shen Wei pointed out to Yunlan. Shen Wei moved the bubble into the entrance as it floats up to the surface of the water.

"What is this place?" Shen Wei asked, helping Yunlan out of the bubble.

"I don't know actually. This place is not in the map of Mt. Kunlun that father showed me...unless we're in.." Yunlan observed the surroundings. "Where?" Shen Wei was curious. "If I'm correct, we might be in the core of Kunlun mountain." Said Yunlan. "Let's check!" As he took Shen Wei's hand to explore the place.

They saw light-emitting in one corner of the tunnel which leads them into a dark room. Floating up in the center was an object that cast out seven coloured seals around it as a protection. Yunlan widened his eyes and ran closer towards the object to have a better look.

"What is this Yunlan?" Shen Wei ran after Yunlan. "If I'm not wrong, this must be the Legendary Holy Grail of Kunlun. You could say it's the core of Kunlun." Yunlan explained while observing the object from a distance because the seal was too powerful to get close to.

"The Legendary Holy Grail of Kunlun!" Shen Wei also widened his eyes. "The one to obtain the core power of Kunlun will be the destined person born to lead and unites the Kingdom." Shen Wei started reciting what he used to read from one of the ancient books.
