The Yao Emperor and His Human Doctor.

Chapter 64 - Finally Alone.

Qiang Yong took off his own outer robe to give it to Su Ning, but one of the Orchids in the house ran over, bringing him one, white in a very fine fabric, and respectfully handed it to the doctor. Su Ning was then harassed by the public, the situation he hated most from the bottom of his heart, which was attracting attention.

Qiang Yong noticed his displeasure in the forced smile that always left his big eyes closed like two strokes of ink. Su Ning hated standing out and appearing. In the Sect, when he had to learn to dance in order to learn the discipline of that art-fanatic master, he only danced under the condition that no one else would see. Everyone thought he was either very shy or a very bad dancer.

He also hated it when they made comparisons as if he were a model to be followed, with phrases like just like Su Ning did or Su Ning, show how it's done.
However, with the dragon by his side, this ordeal seemed more bearable. The Emperor remained by his side and when the flattery was taking too long, he intervened, saying that the dance was exhausting, that he was about to retire.

It's obvious that this was misinterpreted, but Qiang Yong didn't care about it. Since Su Ning was his companion, it didn't matter if he was tired or not, the audience was aware of how the night should end. So, no one was surprised when the two retired to the upper floor after spending some time down there. Ren Loo even gave his brother a sly wink which he returned nonchalantly.

Qiang Yong was calm until he entered the room with him. Suddenly, the weight of the situation finally fell on his head. The two faced each other and lowered their heads at the same time. The Emperor searched for what to say, but the doctor got ahead of him.
"The effect of the formula should wear off soon, I'm going to take a quick shower and change."
"Um... you can take a longer shower, I'll just wait for people to leave and I'll go to my room." Qiang Yong said, the voice was so low that it seemed to be spoken inside.

Even so, Su Ning understood and went to the next room, where there was a bathtub where the girls in the house had already left the water heated. He took off his clothes and left them folded under the chair, then entered the water slowly, getting used to the temperature. As he himself had said, after the time of burning an incense, he felt it gradually grow inside the water and saw that it had returned to its original shape.

He sighed, satisfied that he had calculated the formula's time of action correctly, and relaxed as his tense and sore muscles soon gave in to the heat. He leaned his head against the edge of the wooden tub and gently closed his eyes. He thought he needed to exercise more, he was becoming too sedentary for this type of activity.

Before that, Qiang Yong watched the doctor's figure undressing through the bamboo screen sitting in his chair, feeling uncomfortable. The screen in that place seemed purposely thinner than normal. He bit his lip and commented, as if disinterestedly, "Ce Rang has been a thorn in the throat of the human emperor. He maintains the Sect but cannot control it."

He saw Su Ning move a little in the water. He started to feel drowsy breathing in the water vapor, but hearing about the Sect master woke him up a little.
"Hmm... Ce Rang is a thorn in anyone's throat." He blurted out without thinking.
Qiang Yong noticed that Su Ning's voice was masculine again and asked, "Has the medicine worn off?"

"Yes." He replied languidly. He didn't expect to see Qiang Yong appearing from behind the bamboo screen and squatting down beside the tub to look at him face to face. Su Ning's face was already flushed from the hot steam and became even more flushed as a result.
"You know him well. Has he been a thorn in your throat too? If so, I'll be happy to sort it out for you." Qiang Yong said with a slight smile.

The dragon took this opportunity to test it. He subtly released his pheromones, at a low level, to see how the doctor would react. Su Ning didn't quite understand why, but the water vapor seemed to have a very pleasant, even calming, smell. He felt his entire body go numb that he even forgot to answer the question asked. I think I've been in the water too long... but it's so good...

"So, Ce Rang has been bringing you trouble?" He heard Qiang Yong's voice as if it came from inside his head, sounding deeper and deeper than usual.
"Hu... let him not try anything..." Su Ning muttered, feeling foggy in his mind. "Otherwise I will speak to the emperor to exile him." He didn't realize what he was saying, speaking carelessly as if he was drunk.

Qiang Yong laughed. He responded well to pheromones, and could even speak openly to him. He had discovered a way to make this person be himself in his words and stop hiding secrets from him. The doctor's eyelids were slightly droopy, with droplets of water clinging to his eyelashes.
"Are you comfortable with this smell?" Qiang Yong supported his face with one hand and admired the other's sleepy expression.

"It smells good... it reminds me of a type of flower that grew near my house... they were white and small, but they had that smell. It's very comforting."
"I am glad you like." The voice seemed so close. Su Ning remembered that the emperor had something to tell him before.
"You said you had something to talk to me about, what is it?"

"Oh! Are you so curious to know?" Qiang Yong laughed. He was holding a lock of damp hair, thoughtfully. Then he got close to the doctor's face and whispered in his ear, "If you really want to know, I'll give you a hint as to what it is."
Su Ning felt a shiver as the dragon's warm breath left his ear and traveled down to his cheek, brushing his lips against the warm skin. It was the same sensation as being stroked with a feather.

Su Ning's eyes widened a little at this sensation but he was unable to react, as if he had no strength in his body. His lips moved down his cheek until they met the soft, wet curve of his mouth. With the tip of his tongue Qiang Yong slowly circled the small opening, probing. He looked into the doctor's dazed eyes, finding them very innocent. Under the effect of the pheromones, he was helpless but still fully conscious.

Qiang Yong then grabbed him by the back of his neck and pulled him towards him, sucking his mouth greedily. Su Ning thought he was drunk like that second night in the fortress as he could smell alcohol on his breath. He could even feel the remnants of the fruity flavor of the wine that Qiang Yong had drunk. It could only be that. Why did this yao become a kisser whenever he drank?

Furthermore, this time, he took the liberty of using his free hand to stroke the doctor's thin, eel-like back, descending dangerously to his slender waist. Su Ning wanted to retreat, to react, but numb as he was he had no choice but to struggle to breathe. His mouth had been invaded and his tongue sucked and bitten lightly. When he was released, his breathing was still labored and again he was overwhelmed by that dissatisfied mouth.

The smell from before seemed stronger and when he realized he had already surrendered, allowing those hands and lips to do whatever they wanted with him. His heart was beating so hard in his chest that he felt as if the beat could be heard in the distance. He was losing consciousness when he was released from this prison. Qiang Yong smiled and licked his lips as if he had just smeared himself with candy. "That's what I want to talk to you about."

Author's Note

That, Qiang Yong can say more. I'm all ears. I liked it, simple and direct.
