Wei Ying
Instantly, all of them were back to the Lotus Pier, in which Madam Qing was waiting for them, along with a big group of old friends that were consider family. There was Song Lan, Xiao Xingchen, Wen Ning, Mianmian and their two beautiful twin daughters (Jiaji and Xiaoli), Yanli and Zixuan, impatiently waiting for their son to come back, Nie Huaisang and his wife Madam Meifen, with their son Huizhong, Yinse in his human form at Zidian's side.
As soon as they were on view, the others came to greet them one by one on their own way. Yanli slightly hugged her sworn brother and soon, Huanhuan, which was the darling daughter of Jian Cheng and Wen Qing complained to her uncles for not coming to play with her sooner, Wei Ying smiled and took her in his arms, giving her a peck on her cheek and promising to play with her later.
Wei Ying and Lan Zhan also greeted Jiang Cheng's parents and were escorted to the main hall to catch up with everyone and have a feast. Yanli had personally cook a Lotus soup that Wei Ying had come to love, while Wen Qing had prepared a herbal soup for Lan Zhan, Lan Sizhui and Lan Jingyi as it was the costume of the Lan Clan banquets, while there was plenty of more delicious dishes for everyone to enjoy.
In all, Wei Ying was quite happy, feeling at ease with his family and friends and enjoy a day of luxury after working hard to cleanse the lands for years. Lan Zhan of course was overjoyed to see his husband having a good time with longtime friends and family, although he did miss his brother. He had visit his brother before, of course, but Xichen was busy teaching the kids on their Clan in that time of the year (including his own adoptive son, Lan Tian, which was two years younger than Sizhui) and was unable to join them for that reunion.
In all, he knew that his brother was still heartbroken and in order to forget, he busy himself with ruling the Clan and teach his son about it. As the next Clan Leader, Lan Tian was to inherit the Clan and all the rules, to guide the future generations to a better era, after the darkness was finally vanquish.
"So... I hear that you guys went to the Moling Su Clan in the south to cleanse their lands and had a rough time there." Jiang Cheng said, as Huaisang had spill the beans a few years back.
"Well, not really... Lan Zhan used the muting spell most of our time there, especially with Su She that haven't change a bit after so many years. To be honest, the miserable ones were them, unable to speak for days, not to mention that a certain sword spirit was having his time breaking havoc here and there all over their Clan." Wei Ying said as he looked at Xuanyu, who smirked delightedly.
"They deserved it. That Su She was still looking down on Wei Ying, even if he is a Sage now and savior of the dark era. I only make a prank or two." Xuanyu said openly.
"More like a hundred and you even dragged Chenqing and Suibian along too. They complained so much that Lan Zhan was over annoyed and silence them all each time, either for long hours or a day. It was kind of funny hearing their enraged mumblings and of course, after the cleansing we are not welcome there." There were some laughs.
"Like if you wanted to visit them again. Precisely because they are so annoying, you leave the cleansing of their Clan for the last." Jiang Cheng said amusedly.
"Right..." Wei Ying whisper as he drank a cup of wine.
"By the way, brother Wei, Song Lan had been appointed the next Leader of the Baoshan Sect, aided by Xiao Xingchen." Huaisang announced and Wei Ying smiled.
"That's good. Now that Xiao Man has go back to her husband in the sealed dimension, the Sect needs a good Leader to take care of it while she is gone and brother Xingchen will definitely help him with anything he needs. By the way, when will the two of you marry... it's been thirteen years already." Xingchen who had just drink wine from his cup coughed like mad, feeling that he had drank fire.
"Wuxian!" He protested, blushing a bit, but Song Lan was as calm as ever.
"Ah, there is nothing wrong with that, right Lan Zhan?" Wei Ying asked and Wangji assented in agreement.
"None at all." Wangji said fervently.
"Wei Wuxian, please don't tease him. He gets too flustered when pointing it out." Song Lan said and ignored Xiao's betrayed gaze on him.
"Song Lan! You..." But seen that Song Lan was not embarrassed in the least, he simply sighed. They has kiss a lot in the past years, but he had always been scare to give the next step and cross that red light for good. He loved Song Lan wholeheartedly, but despite the relationship between Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, marriage between men was still uncommon, so he had keep their relationship more or less innocent.
"Wei Wuxian, should you be talking about marriage between men when you yourself hope for a heir for your Clan?" Jiang Cheng remained Wei Ying and he turned to look at his son.
"Remember Sizhui, don't follow your fathers steps." Wei Ying said to Sizhui, but Xuanyu simply started laughing.
"Hey, enough of that, let's talk about something else." Madam Qing warned and they instantly changed topic as to tell what have been happening in their lives while the two Sages were busy healing the lands. Wei Ying was overjoyed to hear his sister tell him about how great the Jin Clan was doing now and how happy she was with her husband and son. Apparently, her husband had eventually mature and become less arrogant, as that had actually become the death of his father and he really cared for his wife.
He sighed in relief, seen her smiled in blissfulness and also he was glad to hear that Wen Ning and Mianmian were equally happy together with their daughters. Wen Ning was appointed the next Clan Leader of the Wen's, which only remained Wei Ying, that the only east Clan without a heir was actually the Wei's and he keep insisting to Sizhui to be the Wei's next Leader, much to Jin Ling and Lan Jingyi dismay.
However, when Wei Ying was distracted, Lan Wangji told his son to always follow his heart, even if that meant disappointing Wei Ying. The Wei Clan will definitely had a heir in due time, even if he decided to have a romantic relationship with either Jingyi or Jin Ling. That, of course lifted a weight over Sizhui's shoulder, although it had raised another problem of to really think who had grasped his heart without him noticing. He cared a lot for Jin Ling, but he had spent all his childhood with Jingyi and grew up along with him, sharing both good and bad times with him in the Lan Clan. He knew his friend inside out like no other, the same way Jingyi knew him as well. If he were to choose, his heart will incline toward Jingyi more than to Jin Ling, but they were still too young for that matters, so he stop worrying about it for the time being and let fate to work as it was meant to.
After catching up for a while, they went out to play with the many kids and enjoy their reunions with their families that was missing on their lives. The kids were overjoyed and play for long hours until running out of energy and at the end of the day, they retire to rest, although a few simply decided to walk in the louts garden to share more time with love ones.
That night, Xiao Xingchen had ask Song Lan to walk with him a bit further, out of sight from the others and they walked close to the shore of the Lotus Lake while admiring the beautiful view. Then suddenly Song Lan stopped and held Xingchen hand.
"Why are you so afraid of give in?" Song Lan asked and Xingchen sighed.
"What if it doesn't work? We are so close now, yet if we fail in a romantic relationship and part for good, then I will lose you forever and that scare me more than anything else." Xingchen finally confessed.
"How many times have we kiss in the past years?" Song Lan asked again.
"I had lost count." He answered.
"Did you enjoy it or hate it?" Song Lan keep up asking.
"I love it and to be honest, many times I wanted more." Xingchen told him honestly.
"Then, if you yearn for me as much as I yearn for you, why a relationship between us will fail? If it had not fail in the past thirteen years, when we had kissed and touched, always wanting for more, why it will suddenly stop? I am not demanding anything, never did, nor will I ever do so without your consent. But to part ways with you is more impossible than you think, not only because I love you madly enough, but also because we complement each other so well, we may as well become one. Even our sword spirits are the same. Then, why fear departure, instead of welcome the joy?" Xingchen looked deeply at the man he had loved since young and smiled at him.
"I... I had been a fool..." He admitted and Song Lan pull him close.
"Never a fool..." Song Lan whisper just before he inclined his head to kiss him fully in the mouth. Soon after, that yearning was reflected on their passionate kiss and after several heated kisses, they ran farther into the forest, quite deep out of sight to finally give into each other yearning, crossing that previous ubreachable line once and for all.
Yinse and Zidian had hear them talk from a distance and smiled when they saw then run into the forest while holding hands and not wanting to disturb their privacy anymore, they simply went back and sat on one of the pagodas that faced the Lotus Lake.
"Why do I feel jealous of their love?" Zidian suddenly asked herself out loud and Yinse smiled at her.
"Why indeed? I may be an ancient dragon, but to be honest, it's not like you are a fragile human woman. Jinzhu is also a dragon and she had taken her man head on, not caring he is Yang's sword spirit. Us been together too, will not make a difference. The Jiang Clan seems to expect it and both Yin and Yang will not mind, so there is no reason for you to feel jealous of someone else happiness." Yinse said seriously.
"Then, will you kiss me as passionately as those two did?" Zidian asked mischievously.
"Not only that, I can take you whatever place you choose to do even more than those two are probably doing right now..." Zidian laughed.
"I knew you were a pervert to the core! One kiss and you want to take everything all at once? Dream on!" She laughed and Yinse sighed.
"Alright, then what about that first kiss alone?" He asked, hopefully.
"About that... let's see if you can match me..." Zidian whisper just before she pulled Yinse close and kiss him, which slightly smiled against her lips before he took control of it, showing her that only him could match her passion, temper and mischievousness and give her a world of happiness.
However, that night of confessions and romance was also be shared in the Sages room, with Wei Ying and Lan Zhan making love in bed. Their room was sealed away from sound, so Wei Ying moaned all he wanted under Lan Zhan's love.
"Lan Zhan... you will never get tired of me, right?" Wei Ying asked, even when he knew the answer.
"Never..."
"Will you love me forever?" He asked as Wangji kissed his hot skin.
"Yes." He murmur, trapping Wei Ying's right bud in his wet mouth.
"Ah... so good, keep up..." Wangji smiled as he touched further down, to Wei Ying's source of pleasure.
"We will never part." Wangji whisper before he kissed his husband once more.
"Nor will I let you go..." Wei Ying whisper back, as he let himself be at the mercy of his husband, while outside their room, two figures were sat looking at the stars.
"This is a good life. Our Masters and us, love each other fully, our friends are happy and the world had healed." Suibian said, taking Bichen's hand on his.
"Indeed. We had gain so much after our Masters cross paths." Bichen told him as she reclined her head into Suibian's shoulder.
"Who would had thought it was fated in such a way." Suibian ponder for a moment.
"Certainly not me, but I'm glad it ended like this. When you and Wei Ying were hit by that cursed talisman I was really scared to lose you and what we faced after was not easy, but I don't regret becoming involved along with my Master. Whatever hardships we all shared was worthy to share this happiness in the end." Bichen said and Suibian smiled, kissing Bichen in her forehead.
"True. I only regret not been able to give our Masters the child they want to become the next Wei Clan heir." Suibian sighed.
"Spirits are spirits, we can make love, but not procreate, that's the way we are. But my Master is sure there will find the right child for the continuation of the Wei name." She said softly.
"I wonder who will be..." Suibian whisper.
"A fated child for sure. My Master only told me it was a blind girl. Maybe when they find her and she cultivate a sword spirit of her own, we can rise him/her as if it was our child." Bichen said and Suibian smiled.
"I will like that, I just hope it's a girl spirit as beautiful as you. It will be troublesome if it end up been a boy like my Master." Bichen smiled.
"Don't said that, you love your Master as much as I love mine, which is the reason we still follow them despite us becoming independent spirits." Suibian assented at her words.
"Ah, yeah... Wei Ying was mischievous and troublemaker all his life, but I had to admit I had fun with him and care for him more like we were brothers instead of Master and servant. I will never admit it in front of Weu Ying, but I can't never detach myself from him that easily. I owe him who I am to him and also who I got because of him." He said as he looked down at her.
"I am on the same thought. I can't imagine myself leaving Master Zhan as well. I admired him from the start and it was also because of him giving me life that I have the chance to meet you and be with you for so many blissful years." She said.
"You are too much for my weak heart, my beautiful Bichen..." Suibian said with a blush, just before he went down to kiss her passionately for long hours under the starry night sky that twinkle up in the heavens as if blessing them all from above.
