Fate Of A Snow Flower

The Fated Snow Flower

Yunlan woke up to an enchanting figure sleeping beside him. Remembering what happened between them last night. "So beautiful!" He couldn't help to run his fingers along that smoothly curved body. Shen Wei shivered, feeling a tickling sensation running through him. "Ah Lan! Stop..." Shen Wei started giggling as Yunlan nibbled on his ear again and hovered on top of him.

"They will come soon, so we shouldn't..." He gasped as Yunlan had already situated himself. "Don't worry...I already made a barrier, they can't see or hear us." and bent down to kiss Shen Wei's sweet lips and made love to him again.

"What a lovely morning!" Yezun stretched his arms under the morning sun. "Shall we check on Yunlan?" Chu suggested. Guo looked around, "Where is Shen Wei?" he wondered, only to notice Yezun and Li Qian smirking at each other.

When they got to the den, the wide grinning Yunlan and blushing Shen Wei approached them hand in hand.

"Gege!" Yezun snatched his brother's hand and took him away to ask the details about what he did last night with Yunlan, followed by the twinkly eyes Guo. But instead, Shen Wei twisted his ear. "Don't do that again, naughty Didi!"

"Where is Sister Bai?" Li Qian wondered and rushed back down to the village. While Chu and Da Qing just wiggled their eyebrows at Yunlan, whose mind is floating somewhere.

A while later, they left the village since everything had been resolved. They suggested Ling Jing wait for their return and left Sang with him at the dock, near Bai's Village.

"Congratulation, my Lord! Another seal has broken." Zhu Jiu bowed.

"I need them to get the Phoenix Fire quickly. Do not try to harm them!" he commanded. "Yes! My Lord!" Zhu Jiu bowed down but gritted his teeth. He wanted to eliminate them by any means but couldn't disobey Lord Demon.

The journey to Dark Mountain had been quite smooth, but Yunlan had warned them to be more vigilant. A calm always comes before a storm.

Shen Wei, whose heart had been unsettled throughout the trip, had been having dreams. Every night the mysterious person with the umbrella would appear as a reminder to him. He would wake up with cold sweat and tonight was the same. Seeing that everyone was sound asleep, he decided to take a walk.

"Xiao Wei!" Yunlan approached him, who was sitting by the riverbank under the bright moon, throwing pebbles in the water. "What's wrong?" Yunlan laid down and rested his head on Shen Wei's lap as he looked up at him.

Shen Wei hesitated for a while. "Ah Lan! Will you love me forever?" he looked into Yunlan's while caressing his face. Yunlan chuckled, thinking that was what Shen Wei had been worried about all along. "Only these hands I will hold onto forever!" Yunlan promised while locking their fingers and brought it to a kiss.

Still seeing that Shen Wei looked insecure, Yunlan quickly kneeled. "Let's wed right now!" As he made a vow towards the moon. "I, Zhao Yunlan, will take Shen Wei's hand in marriage tonight! I promise he will be the only one in my life! Will the moon be our witness!" Shen Wei's eyes filled with tears, and he quickly kneeled, repeating the same vow.

"It's our special night, don't cry!" Yunlan brought them up on their feet and wiped his tears. "Don't break your vow, Ah Lan!" Shen Wei went on tippy toes and kissed Yunlan under the moonlight.

Finally, they arrived at Dark Mountain, which was actually an inactive volcanic mountain. They reached the peak and saw an entrance leading inside. "Wait!" Yunlan stopped them. "I feel a very dark power trapped in here, so watch out!" Yunlan warned as he leads ahead.

While Zhu Jiu and Lord Demon watched them from a magic mirror. "We will meet again soon, my old friends! I will repay you for the pain you caused me!" he snickered.

Again, everything seemed to be eerily quiet as they reached the cliff of the bottomless pit. "Where's the Phoenix Fire?" They inspected and saw just smoke residue. Yunlan summoned his Holy Grail and dropped it down the pit. Like what he had guessed, the pit started producing sparks as it came in contact with the Grail. Yunlan could feel ninety-five percent of Kunlun's power surged within his body. But a meridian was still blocked. "What is wrong, Ah Lan?" Shen Wei noticed the discomfort in Yunlan's expression.

Suddenly the mountain shook, and the loud laughter of Lord Demon echoed throughout. "Who's that?" Yezun and Guo shouted at the same time.

Out of nowhere, many demons started rushing in to attack them as they fought back. Lord Demon appeared with Zhu Jiu and charged at Yunlan and Shen Wei.

Shen Wei shot out many arrows at Zhu Jiu, who deflected and smirked. "Come with me, beautiful!" Zhu Jiu was still lusting over Shen Wei, so he missed seeing the arrows making a rebound and struck him from behind. Zhu Jiu fell on his knees. "No! This can't be," he screamed and dissipated.

"Who are you?" Yunlan shouts while deflecting Lord Demon. "Soon, you will remember!" He laughed and launched at Yunlan again. The fight was fierce between them. Every attack that Yunlan made came with an internal obstruction. So Lord Demon kept having the upper hand. "Looks like you haven't obtained all the power of Kunlun yet!" He snickered and managed to inflict an injury on Yunlan.

"Ah Lan!" Shen Wei knew the time has come for him to do what he must, so he rushed back to the cliff of the pit again. Yezun saw and followed, seeing Shen Wei summoning the Snow Flower symbol from his chest. "Gege! What are you doing?"

Shen Wei turned around. "Didi, please take care of Father and Mother!" Yezun furrowed his brows, "What do you mean?"

Shen Wei gave him a sad smile. "What Yunlan collected earlier was just a spark of the Phoenix Fire! To obtain the full power of Kunlun, an ingredient is needed to ignite the flame. And that is the Snow Flower."

"I don't get what it has to do with you? Come here!" Yezun slowly advanced towards his brother, wanting to pull him away from the edge of the cliff.

But it was too late because Shen Wei had already made a barrier. "I'm the Snow Flower, Didi. A sacrifice has to be made to restore peace. This is my fate!" Shen Wei revealed and looked endearingly towards Yunlan for the last time. "I must protect him!" He closed his eyes and dropped himself backward into the pit. "Gege! No! Gege!" Yezun kept banging on the barrier.

At that moment, Yunlan glanced and saw Shen Wei dropping himself. "Xiao Wei! NO!!" Yunlan quickly teleported towards the falling Shen Wei. He tried to grab hold of him but only managed to seize the tip of his sleeve as it ripped. "Xiao Wei!" Yunlan, without hesitation, jumped after him. But Shen Wei used all the strength he had and launched Yunlan back up. Yunlan could only watch as his lover gave him one last smile and slowly descend to the bottomless pit and disappeared.

Instantly, the sparks ignited into burning flames. "Xiao Wei!" Yunlan kneeled with devastation and screamed out his name relentlessly. The Phoenix Fire flew out from the pit and became one with the Holy Grail, making Yunlan shrieked insanely from the burning rage.

Lord Demon knew he couldn't win if Yunlan received all the power, so he launched an attack while Yunlan's mind is still going berserk, but it was too late. Yunlan's eyes blazed with fury, and his palms burst out iced flames. The only instinct left in Yunlan was to irradicate all the demons. He flew up and beamed out lasers that radiated the surroundings and burned all the demons into ashes.
