The fated ones

Chapter 40

The next time donghua and feng jiu materialized, was on the land made of feng jiu's spiritual essence. The holy land floated amidst the clouds, far above the red sea in the west. This floating piece of land appeared to be made of a single rock that seemed to point in a conical end at the bottom. But no end was visible as the surrounding clouds covered it fully. At the top, the island had several peaks forming a crescent shape around it. With the smallest peaks at the ends of the crescent, the height of the peaks ascended as they move towards the center. In the exact middle of the crescent mountain line, stood the tallest mountain peak. Between the crescent ends, joining together the circular spectrum of the island was a huge cerulean blue sea that gave the impression of being infinite with the water flowing over the sides of the island but never reaching the clouds below. From the towering center mountain emerged a glittering waterfall that flowed down towards the sea. In front of the waterfall, connected with bridges, to the peaks on both sides, floated a rock, with a majestic castle on it.

It was in front of this castle that donghua and fengjiu appeared. The castle had a blush-colored roof which contrasted perfectly against the glimmering waterfall at its back and the violet, purple trees that surrounded the connected peaks. In size, it was immense but no less regal. The white walls and their gold linings screamed of its imperialness.

As soon as they materialized, feng jiu sent the lei niaos and xaio guang off into the forest to find themselves a comfortable home and turned towards donghua. She took hold of his hand, clasping it in between both of hers, and pulled him towards the castle.

Feng jiu was excited to explore her new home with donghua. Entering through the great main doors, they travelled around the castle exploring the various rooms, halls, galleys, and grounds. Feng jiu surveyed through every nook and cranny with donghua right beside her every step of the way. As they wandered through the castle, she noticed though it was sparsely furnished, it met every basic requirement and some avaricious ones like the huge two-person throne in the giant courtroom. The castle was made for a queen and that was evident from its every trace. Finally, ending their tour, they ended up at the doors for the last room, the queen's chambers.

Fengjiu pushed open the doors and pulled donghua inside with her. The room was exquisite and grand. The whole ceiling was adorned with night pearls of various sizes and all the colors under the rainbow. Small branches grew from the edges of the room, laden heavily with flowers in shades of white and lilac. These branches spread throughout the walls covering them completely in flowers. On one side of the room, there was an open passageway that led to the bath, and another shelved wall, lead towards a study. But the main attraction and focal point of the room was the huge circular bed that stood on a raised dais with shimmering gauzy curtains around it that hung from the ceiling of night pearls.

Standing in the center of the room, feng jiu took everything in and excitedly began talking about the things she loved there. She turned to donghua, asking him what he liked best about the place.

But what stood out to donghua had been neither the castle nor its affluence, instead, he asked feng jiu something completely opposite.

"xaio bai, this land is an extension of your primordial spirit then why is the whole flora here in shades of purple; all the leaves and flowers are in hues of lilac, violet, and orchid. the power of your primordial spirit is red and your spirit flower has always been a peach blossom then why the purple, xaio bai?"

Feng jiu could see the utter confusion in his eyes as he was completely lost to the palpable realigty of it. She moved towards donghua and came to stand in front of him, cupping his cheeks, she whispered, "because of you, my love. because of my love for you. This place originated from a part of my spirit's powers and yes, the powers of my spirit are red but every part of my spirit has your engravings on it. the purple manifested from the distinction I have made in my mind. For me, purple and white could only ever mean you. The fact that our merged powers, also form a purple hue was only the glitter on top of this gold. This place was made with you in my heart, mind, and spirit, donghua. That's why all the purple."

Donghua was overwhelmed by how much she loved him. the pure love and honesty that she kept showing him again and again, overtook his heart and brain. Unable to process his emotions, he pulled her by the waist hard against him and attacked her mouth with his. His lips devoured her entire mouth as she gasped against the force of his pull, giving him the access, he needed. With his tongue busy in tasting every part of feng jiu's mouth, he let his hands loose too. Moving down, his hands caressed and fondled her backside before grabbing her and pulling her off the ground and into his arms. Feng jiu eagerly wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his head. Donghua still had his hands on her back, pinching and fondling through her robe. As her moans started growing louder, his hands moved up her back, to her neck, and then down her front. As he started pushing on the edges of her robe, his mouth detached from her lips and started sliding down her neck and onto the path his hands had created, sucking and licking on their trail downwards. But the moment his hands touched the belt, that held her robe together, he looked up into her eyes.

Feng jiu could see the passion and love in his eyes, burning into a deep raging inferno. The fire though was lost behind a hazy fog of hesitation. Understanding his faltering steps, she cupped his cheek with one hand and combed through his hair with the other. Coaxing his mouth up against hers, she started to kiss him slowly with just as much passion as before but stroking the fire slowly and with patience. While she kissed him slowly and teasingly, her hands dug into his scalp and started grazing her nails through it. the motion was so new and pleasing for donghua that unconsciously, he let out a loud, raspy groan. The thin cord that held his self-restraint together was about to burst. so he told her, "if you do that again, I won't be able to restrain myself any longer, jiu'er." In response to his statement, she did it again. this time the sound that came out of him was more of a growl than a groan. He moved towards the bed and threw her down in the center of it. with the same growl evident in his voice, he asked again, "are you sure, jiu'er?" feng jiu looked deep into his eyes as she gave her answer, "I have never been more sure, donghua." The moment donghua heard the eagerness in her voice, coupled with the sensuous way she said his name, he lost all semblance of control and went to task on her, doing all the things his growl had promised.
