The Yao Emperor and His Human Doctor.

Extra 2 - A rare flower (1)

It had been more than six months since Qiang Yong and Su Ning had been married. He and An Shu officially lived in the fortress, since Ren Loo preferred to be full time with her family now, she decided to leave her own home for some kind of emergency and live under the same roof as her mother and brother. Suddenly the Qiang family stronghold was filled with joy and movement.

The emperor, who lived serious and taciturn, finally recovered his smile, lost for so many years. In the morning he rolled lazily on the bed, clinging to his husband. Afterwards he would have coffee with his entire family and then go to the office to take care of bureaucratic paperwork and eventually having to leave to resolve some small conflicts with Ren Loo.

Although the dragon had calmed down from her wanderings, she usually helped her brother in the morning and then taught and trained Ren Shyuo in the afternoon. However, she was a terrible fencing teacher, so much so that Ren Shyou secretly went to his stepfather to ask for some guidance. Having learned a lot from Su Ning, An Shu passed this knowledge on to his stepson, while also managing to develop the little dragon's flexibility and agility.

Thus, Ren Loo was very satisfied, thinking she was an excellent trainer. No one ever thought to say anything to the contrary, especially An Shu.
Meanwhile, Su Ning went to her clinic (attached to Fortress), working with Han Chia and the snake, his faithful assistant when he was free.
The number of cases remained constant as before, patients did not even regret the loss of the old clinic, as this one was much better and more spacious.

And sometimes, Qiang Ling would visit the clinic, under the pretext of playing a game of go, when she couldn't catch Su Ning in the Fortress. To date, she has yet to win a match. In a few days, Dr. Su would take a few days off to be with his loved one, although if any urgency arose, he would respond. He had never taken time off before, but Qiang Yong was his priority now.

Needless to say, the emperor was very happy with this proof of love. He was surprised that Su Ning could be so affectionate, taking small daily cares for him, such as kissing him in the morning, calling him to lunch, helping to organize the office, taking frequent baths with him...
Qiang Yong sat thoughtfully in his office one morning, lightly chewing on the wooden tip of his brush.

"What's going on in your mind? Are you sick of the doctor?" Ren Loo laughed, handing a stack of papers to the table.
"As if that were possible. In fact, I'd like to get out of here and hug him and kiss him hard, impregnate him with my scent until his legs go soft and I can sweep him off his feet in bed." "
"He already has enough of your scent. The way you squeeze and knead him, there's no way he doesn't smell like you."

"I was thinking about giving him a gift."
"There certainly isn't a better gift than the clinic. But..." Ren Loo clicked his tongue, smiling.
"What? What do you know?"
"In the frog swamp, I heard that there is a rare species of lily growing. Dr. Su really likes plants, so much so that he has also taken care of our garden. Who knows, perhaps he might be interested in discovering some medicinal properties of the flower?" "

"Sounds interesting. How do you always know these things?"
"I have my means." Ren Loo laughed. "I talk a little here, I hear a rumor there, so I always end up discovering new things..."
"That's right! I'll go back and see about it myself."
"I'll go with you!"
"You expected that, didn't you? What else is there in the swamp that you want to see so much?"

"Ah, well... I also heard that the yao there have a special mud to apply to their skin and make it softer."
"An Shu complained about your scales? The way you are, you must have taken his hide." The dragon laughed, mocking. Ren Loo snorted, offended.
"Of course not! An Shu never complains about anything! But one day I caught him dozing in the sun in his original form and I realized that snake scales are much softer than dragon scales."

"Of course we do! Ours are harder and more resistant for our protection!" Qiang Yong found it absurd that his sister never noticed this.
"So I thought that even in this form they could hurt him when we... There are some crocodiles in the swamp too and they use this mud, they said it works. I want to see if it really softens the scales."

"Hmmm... you said they could hurt him..." The dragon stopped to think, once Su Ning scratched himself on the scales on his neck, but that didn't stop him from clinging tightly to him. Qiang Yong even licked the blood from the small wound.
"If it works, you let me know."
"Ah! Now you understand me, hehe."
Qiang Yong got ready to go out with his sister. He just went to tell Su Ning that he was going to the swamp, maybe the doctor wanted some plants from there too.

That same morning, Su Ning was working in the garden. He collected some herbs to make some medicines and replenish stock. He also picked some peaches that were already ripe. He intended to take it to Qiang Yong and the Empress after washing them. The yard was much more lush after he and the flower fairies settled in.
"Are you going out? I'll save some for you then."

"For me?" Qiang Yong took one of the tender peaches in his hand, admiring it. "Sounds pretty sweet."
"I believe they are. I haven't tried it yet."
"Don't be that way. Prove it now." The emperor extended the fruit towards the doctor's mouth, pressing its velvety surface against his moist lips. Su Ning then opened his mouth and bit off a small piece of the fruit, with the juice running down his mouth.

Before he could give his opinion, Qiang Yong grabbed him and kissed him, fruit and all. The doctor immediately turned peach red.
Qiang Yong moved away from him, after leaving him all smeared with saliva and juice.
"Hu, it's really sweet."
Su Ning "......."
"If you keep blushing like that I don't know if I'd rather bite you or the peach later." He wiped the juice off his chin and took the fruit into his mouth.

Every word spoken or gesture that Qiang Yong made now only served to make Su Ning feel his face burning more and more. "It's amazing how your face has become thicker and thicker!"
"I have the greatest beauty in the world in my arms. I need to have a thick face so I can't resist and devour him in public, hehe."
Su Ning slapped him lightly, as if he was angry. Qiang Yong laughed.

"I won't be long. It's brief."
"Okay. I'll be waiting. With the peaches." He raised his eyebrows slightly, but it didn't look very convincing. Qiang Yong smiled and took another bite of the peach in his hand before leaving. Su Ning shivered. He was looking forward to the dragon's return.
