With Jilpa and her Valkyries at standby, they were ready for the signal. Lan Ying and Wangji just teleported right in the middle of the mounds. Guiwang was standing at the entrance of the cave, Lan Xichen was sitting on the ground, tied, bloodied, and unconscious. Wangji took a step to go to him but was stopped by a spear just inches from his neck.

"Any closer and not only will you die, but so will he," the man said.

Wangji looked at him, "Su She?" He asked.

"Mnn," He said, "long time no see."

As Su She was distracting Wangji, someone snuck up behind Lan Ying and suddenly, a guqin string was wrapped around his throat, "one wrong move, and you die," the person said.

"Who—" Lan Ying tried but stopped as he could feel a slight sting.

"Meng Yao?" Wangji questioned, "you're involved?"

"I am," Meng Yao said, "I hope Lan Ying doesn't do anything stupid, he could get cut."

"Taizi Lan Ying," Guiwang said, "we finally meet after all these years."

"Let my husband and his brother go," Lan Ying demanded.

"Why would I do that?" Guiwang said, "they should stay to witness the grand event."

"What event?" Lan Ying asked.

"Give me a feather and a scale, and you will find out," Guiwang replied.

"No!" Lan Ying said.

Guiwang sighed. He turned to where Xichen was sitting and nudged his head. A man in black stood before Xichen and held a sword to his chest, "if you want to decline, he dies first."

Lan Wangji's tale came out, "take one!" Wangji said, "just don't hurt my brother."

Lan Ying knew that he couldn't risk Xichen's life like that. He rolled up his sleeve and showed Guiwang a group of feathers, "fine," he said.

Guiwang happily gathered a scale and a feather. Lan Ying and Wangji were then tied and tossed down on the ground beside Xichen. Lan Wangji looked at his brother, he seemed okay. The blood was actually all on his robes, so Wangji just hoped that it was nothing serious. Guiwang suddenly grabbed Lan Ying, and had Su She, Meng Yao, and the man in black stand before Wangji.

Guiwang tossed Lan Ying to the bed further inside the cave, "let's see what you have hidden under all these robes."

Lan Wangji was furious. Guiwang had the nerves to put his hands on Lan Ying right in front of him, but he could do nothing as he was cornered by three men. Wangji could turn into his dragon form, but he was worried it might make things worse.

"Don't touch me!" Lan Ying yelled.

Wangji's face paled when he saw Guiwang removing Lan Ying's robes. The man in black kept his sword pointed at Xichen, "make a move, and your brother dies," he reminded.

Lan Wangji hated this. Hearing the love of his life plead for help and call for him but he couldn't do anything hurt him more than anything. When he saw Guiwang put his hand into Lan Ying's trousers, the urge to protect Lan Ying was overwhelming. Lan Ying was crying when Guiwang put Lan Ying in his mouth. Lan Ying wasn't even getting off on it, but his body felt disgusting. He felt as if he was failing Lan Wangji for having someone else touch him.

All while that was happening, Lan Xichen started to come to, "Ge," Wangji said softly, "can you hear me?"

Lan Xichen blinked a couple times and looked at Wangji, "You are here? Why?"

"They threatened to kill your if A'Ying and I didn't show up," Wangji said with tears in his eyes. Xichen saw him glance behind him so he followed his gaze. He saw that Lan Ying was being sexually assaulted in front of Lan Wangji and Wangji couldn't do anything without potentially causing damages

"I can turn," Xichen whispers, "on three, and we can get Lan Ying safe."

Wangji nodded, "San, Er, Yi," he whispered and the two turned into the twin Jade angelic ice dragons. (San 三 is three, Er 二 is two, and Yi 一 is one).

Guiwang stood up and spun around. Lan Ying laying weak on the bed, trying to get his composure back. He was scared, disoriented, disgusted, and angry. The scale and the feather Guiwang had began to react in his hand. It caused his hand to burn. The burn moved up his arm and into his chest. Still as a dragon, Wangji lifted Lan Ying up and flew out of the mounds. Jilpa and her Valkyrie moved in, Xichen stayed to help her.

Lan Wangji flew them to their secluded island that they were at for their honeymoon. Once he landed he transformed back into his human form and fixed Lan Ying's robes. Lan Ying was still dazed and disoriented so Lan Wangji brought Lan Ying inside and placed him in a warm bath.

"A'Ying, I'm sorry," Wangji said to him.

"Lan Zhan, he touched me! I'm sorry! I didn't want him to," Lan Ying cried as he finally came back to reality.

Lan Wangji held his face in his hands, "I know, and we will take all the time you need to recover from this. Xiongzhang and Jilpa are taking care of Guiwang. We can see how it went later. Right now, you are my main priority."

"Will you hold me?" Lan Ying asked.

"When you are done with your bath, I will," Wangji said, "you were just assaulted, I do not want to overwhelm you."

"Lan Zhan, I need you to touch me, please," Lan Ying begged, "it will give me a sense of security. So please!"

Lan Wangji signed and changed out of his robes before climbing into the bath with Lan Ying. He then pulled Lan Ying into his arms, "I'm here, see, I'm hugging you, sitting with you, and touching you."

Lan Ying wrapped his arms around Wangji, and placed his hands on Wangji's back. His forehead was resting against Wangji's shoulder. Lan Ying melted further into Wangji as he helped clean his body.
