ETERNAL DESTINY ( LAN WANJI & WEI WUXIAN UNTAMED)

CHAPTER 23

After a while Lan Furen broke the hug and looked into her husband's eyes, kissed his lips and withdrew from his lips after just a few seconds. Lan Qingheng-Jun's feelings at that time was disastrous, he held her face with both hands and looked deep into her eyes, his eyes got lost in hers and just at that moment he forgot every trouble they were facing. He brought his face closer to hers and connected their lips, their eyes closed, breaths steadied and right then their love for each other grew another other level. It was like time froze for them, they just fed each other the love they had for each other and what was a minute felt like eternity for them. They had never indulged themselves to have their time to relax and talk about life, about their sons or even anything about their love. They felt like they hadn't seen each other for years and even their breaths knew how much they missed suffocating each other when sharing just a simple kiss.

Lan Furen broke the kiss because she knew it wouod be difficult for her husband to let go, Lan Qingheng-Jun felt empty for a second and he looked the other was so that Lan Furen doesn't see the disappointment in his face, but it turned out that she knew him better than he knew himself. She held his hand and squeezed it a little to catch his attention and said " Lao gong let's rest for tonight, we have a lot to discuss tomorrow hhmm" Lan Qingheng-Jun gave a nod, but before he could help her lay down he remembered that she was hurt and even if he treated her wounds immediately after she was punished and transferred his spiritual energy to her, he needs to change the wrapped cloth for her to heal quickly. He stopped and held her hand steadying her to lay down on her stomach, she tried telling him that she was ok but that didn't help. So she decided to let her husband do whatever he wanted and he did.

He carefully unwrapped the white cloth on her back, and wiped the injuries using herbs mixed in water and, all this time she wasn't even wincing from the pain that Lan Qingheng-Jun thought she was feeling. But Lan Furen was distracted by the loving hands that carefully and lovingly treated her injuries, carefully and gently wrapping a new cloth on her injuries again and when he was done he transferred his spiritual energy again to give her a peaceful sleep. Lan Furen didn't want him to but she knew that her husband never considers no to be an answer,so she let him have his way but stopped him when she felt that he didn't have enough left for himself. Lan Qingheng-Jun had been transferring his spiritual energy to her all this when she was pregnant and the evil spirit feeding on her body as well as the resentment energy. And now it was running out.

Lan Furen had noticed that Lan Qingheng-Jun was no longer as string as he was before, he was getting weaker by the day and he was good at hiding it. Going to night hunts, suggesting seclusion and even spending little time with his wife and brother, even though they were good plans at the time but his encouragement came from hiding himself, he hid himself very well from everyone but his wife knew what it meant. She stopped him and said to him " Lao gong, how long till it runs out, your spiritual energy, how long till it runs out? " She asked with worry and understanding , he whipped his head to face her as if he being caught stealing and said " how did you k.know?" " I knew a long time ago but I didn't say anything, your golden core generates your spiritual energy so why isn't it generating power to your spiritual energy? Or huhh! " She gasped loudly and said ," it's doesn't generating power, does it." Then her worry because worse that her breath hitched and Lan Qingheng-Jun said yes and told her that she can ask anything else tomorrow but she to get some rest first.

She slept while he carressed the back if her hand while she slept peacefully, and soon after she was deep asleep and he lay down and slept. His mind was very exhausted from everything that was going on. The whole Cloud Rescessess was quite and peaceful, only night owls and crickets and cicadas were the only ones making noise in the pitch dark sky.

The next morning Lan Qiren woke up to find Lan Zhan and Lan Xichen already awake, he slept very late the previous night thinking of what was happening to his family. Their peace was disturbed the moment his brother married Lan Furen, but looking at Lan Zhan he knew that they were meant to meet because the Gods had already made plans for their future for Lan Zhan to be born. He wasn't complaining about Lan Furen anymore, he now understood that it was also not easy for his brother and sister in law because they were living their lives to protect Lan Zhan that they out their love aside for a long time. Lan Zhan was meditating and Lan Xichen was preparing his Liebieng to play calming music for his baby brother, Lan Qiren came in and joined Lan Zhan, he meditated while waiting for the sweet melody Lan Xichen was about to play.

Lan Xichen felt content in a way, seeing his uncle trying to understand Lan Zhan was something he wished everyone could do. He didn't know how his parents were at the moment but he knew something had changed and things would never be the same again. All he wanted now was to make his brother happy and prepare him for what's to come. From that day on, watching Lan Zhan's tiny little hands clasped for deep meditation, Lan Xichen felt proud. He was young when his Wanji was born but he understood everything that was being said and done, maybe that was the reason why Baoshan Sanren wanted him to be there so that he could train his mind to be the older brother he needed to be for his little brother.
