oceanic heart- Wangxian (English Version)

20- Love

When Jin Guangyao heard that all his prisoners had escaped, he remained surprisingly calm. He simply went into the basement of the tower, more precisely in front of the imposing door that had caught Jin Ling's attention so long ago.

-Open the door for me.

Two guards complied and the door slowly opened. A loud roar sounded and the two guards looked at each other, wondering whether they should run away. They didn't know what was in the cave, and they had no desire to find out.

Shortly afterwards, the silhouette of a huge fish with sharp teeth came into view. While some of the guards retreated, Jin Guangyao stood there, impassive, and then a slight smile emerged on his face.

-Hi there. You must have been asleep for a long time. I feel so sorry for you. But don't worry, I'm going to set you free. In exchange, I want you to do a job for me.

The fish growled, and Jin Guangyao's smile widened.

-A group of people have escaped to the south. Find them, kill them. Then bring their bodies back so I can put them in the Void.

After a few seconds, the creature turned and headed south through a hole that had just opened up. Jin Guangyao sighed with relief. He turned to a guard standing further away.

-You there.

-Yes, master?

-Order a regiment to go to Qinghe and kidnap the young brother of the sect leader Nie.

-I'll go straight away.

The guard left, and Jin Guangyao sat down in a corner of the room.

-Poor human... I'm always one step ahead, everything you've done will be for nothing. Whether you like it or not, you're going to die in the end.

The group had landed in a coral field where the current seemed calm. While everyone went about their business, Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian decided to explore the surrounding area, even if it was a lame excuse to spend some time together.

Wei Wuxian laughed as he tried to perfect his swimming, and Lan Wangji just watched from further back.

-Lan Zhan! Look at this shell, it's shaped like a crescent moon, what is it?

Lan Wangji couldn't help but smile and moved closer to his lover.

-It's a heart-of-stone shell. You'll find plenty of them in the area.

After putting the shell back, Wei Wuxian sat down on the coral carpet. La Wangji joined him and gave him a hug. The two remained silent for some time, simply gazing at the landscape.

-Lan Zhan?

-Hm.

-Where exactly are we going?

-To the Cloud Recess. The Lan clan house.

Wei Wuxian arched an eyebrow and straightened to look at Lan Wangji.

-The cloud recess? How come it's called that? There are no clouds...

-The founder of our clan was fascinated by the mainland and often went there to engrave landscapes from the surface. What he admired most were the clouds. So he created a huge fresco of them in the main hall of the lair.

-Oh, I see.

Wei Wuxian leaned over Lan Wangji and placed a chaste kiss on his lips. The two stared at each other for a long time without saying a word.

-Lan Zhan?

-Yes?

-I love you.

As he said this, he lay down on Lan Wangji's chest. Lan Wangji put his hands around Wei Wuxian's waist and the two ended up kissing.

The kiss dragged on and on, and Lan Wangji began to run his hands all over Wei Wuxian's body.

Little by little, Lan Wangji's lips moved from Wei Wuxian's lips to his chin, then his neck, then his collarbones. He left lots of little kisses, while continuing to run his hands all over this magnificent body.

Wei Wuxian sighed with relief and embraced Lan Wangji to enjoy the contact. The white man pinned him to the ground and held up several fingers in front of Wei Wuxian's entrance.

After a few visual agreements, the fingers plunged inside, and Wei Wuxian groaned with pleasure. Lan Wangji started to move his fingers, but quickly withdrew them and replaced them with his cock. As he entered, Wei Wuxian cried out.

-Ah~ Lan Zhan!~

Lan Wangji began to move back and forth, and, lulled by Wei Wuxian's moans, he went faster and faster. It wasn't long before the two reached their peak.

After their exercise, Wei Wuxian lay down on Lan Wangji's exhausted body. Lan Wangji locked him in his arms, and the two fell asleep.

-I've got a bad feeling about this...' said Jin Ling.

-Hmm, so do I. We'd better be on our guard. I doubt Jin Guangyao will let us off so easily.

Lan Sizhui took another bite of fish and stared at Jin Ling. Jin Ling was still disturbed by the recent revelations, so when he heard Jin Guangyao's name, he trembled. Lan Sizhui sighed and put an arm around his waist.

Jin Ling rested her head on Lan Sizhui's shoulder, and the two remained like that, without speaking.

In the distance, Jiang Cheng was watching them, looking annoyed. Lan Xichen noticed him.

-Sect leader Jiang, I sincerely think it's a good thing they get on so well. And I can assure you that Lan Sizhui won't do your nephew any harm.

-That's exactly what annoys me. He doesn't have time to think about such things. I know Lan Sizhui has helped or saved him many times, and I thank him for that. But I don't want their relationship to go beyond friendship.

-Why is that a problem?

-Love is what hurts the most.

-With all due respect, I disagree. I think love is something everyone should offer each other. Even if in some cases it can hurt, isn't it soothing to have someone to confide in?

-...

-I think you're overthinking this. Let young Master Jin manage himself and do what he wants.

-Hm.

Jiang Cheng looked away, but Lan Xichen could tell that he looked troubled.

-Sect leader, I know you lost a lot in the war against the Wens and you want to protect him, but he's just a child.

Jiang Cheng turned to him, a complicated expression on his face.

-How could you possibly know what I've been through? Nobody knows me but me. So please, sect leader Lan, mind your own business.

With that, he walked off into the distance. When his silhouette disappeared completely, Lan Xichen sighed.

-I know a lot more about you than you think, sect leader Jiang...
