Chapter 139 Into The Phoenix Chamber Part 19

The light rain had scattered across the forest, as Yul looked up at the ledge of the mountain. He was sure that Hajime was somewhere up there. He stood on the edge of the mountain and watched for a while before looking at the black panther.

"Return to your master," Yul said, grabbing the first rock and starting to climb the mountain toward the ledge.

"Do you know why the rabbit lost to the tortoise?" Hajime heard Kenji speaking softly in his right ear. "That's because the rabbit doesn't want to be another bully in the forest."

Hajime closed his eyelids tightly and refused to open them, fearing that once he opened his eyes, he would be brought back to the world he hated the most. He shook his head trying to wake up.

"Hajime..." Yul said. "Wake up... Hajime."

"Hajime!" Kenji shouted. "Hajime!"

"I don't want to open my eyes... I don't want to open my eyes," Hajime panted, shaking his head violently. He began to hear the monitor beeping. "I don't want to wake up...stop...Kenji...stop!"

"Nurse! Nurse!" Hajime heard Kenji's voice.

Then he felt himself being pulled up and sitting up. He heard Yul's voice.

Yul grabbed Hajime's face. He shouted, "Hajime! Wake up! Open your eyes. Look at me."

Hajime slowly opened his eyes and stared into Yul's eyes. "Yul...you're here..." Hajime whispered.

Hajime leaned forward and kissed Yul's lips. Hajime reached out and grabbed Yul's belt and began to untie it.

Yul grabbed Hajime's hands.

"Hajime...stop...what are you doing."

Hajime smiled coquettishly at Yul and said, "Yul... I want you." He grabbed Yul's neck and continued to kiss Yul passionately.

Yul pulled Hajime's forehead away and touched Hajime's forehead. "You have a fever."

Hajime pushed Yul's hand away and said, "I don't have a fever. Yul... I really want you." He began to take off his outer robe.

Yul watched Hajime slowly take off his clothes, and his heart began to beat violently. The dim flames swayed back and forth in the small grotto. The rain and wind hit the hillside strongly, creating an echo in the small grotto. Although the sound was loud, Yul felt that his heartbeat was louder than the thunderstorm at this moment.

Hajime's shadow on the wall aroused Yul's hidden temptation. Yul looked at Hajime again, and he saw Hajime smiling at him, which only increased his own temptation.

The thunder that rang outside the small grotto made Yul's his heart beating faster. He discovered that Hajime was no longer his usual self. He knew he should stop, but the arousal crawling under his skin was unbearable.

Yul thought for a while. He knew in his heart that it was only a matter of time before he became intimate with Hajime. After all, they are husband and wife before Heaven and the Bayarmaa ancestors.

The height of the grotto was not high enough to accommodate Yul's height, so he knelt down on both knees and slowly took off his clothes. After he took off all his clothes, knelt naked in front of Hajime, stretched out his head and kissed Hajime's lips, but then he found that Hajime's kiss became more forceful, and the force became stronger.

"Hajime," Yul said. "What's wrong with you?"

"Yul...I want you very much, can you satisfy me?" Hajime begged, wrapping his arms around Yul's waist and continuing to kiss Yul.

Due to Hajime's strange behavior, Yul grabbed Hajime's neck, worried that the person in front of him was not Hajime. He stared at the panting Hajime, and Hajime's rosy cheeks made him want Hajime even more.

"What's the secret word in your tribe when you express your love for another person?" Yul asked.

Hajime gasped heavily. "Christmas...is Christmas..."

Yul kissed Hajime's neck, slowly moved his body behind Hajime, kissed Hajime's back, then turned Hajime's face to one side with his right hand, continued to kiss Hajime, and slowly stroked Hajime's member with his left hand.

"If it hurts you... Tell me... I will stop," Yul whispered into Hajime's right ear, and then he kissed Hajime's neck.

"Hmm," Hajime moaned.

Yul slowly guided his member into Hajime's back door. Hajime grunted as Yul thrust deeper into Hajime. "You want me to stop?" Yul asked while kissing Hajime's neck.

"No," Hajime moaned. "Don't stop..." Hajime continued to moan softly as Yul slowly thrust from behind.

Yul's left hand slowly slid towards Hajime's navel, and his right hand slowly slid upward, holding Hajime's upper body, and then Hajime's upper body fell to the ground. Hajime supported his upper body on his elbows to avoid his face from touching the ground. Yul's hands tightly grasped Hajime's hips and continued to thrust.

The rain continued to pour down, thunder crackled in the dark night, and the sounds of crashing flesh, painting, and moans echoed through the small grotto. The shadows of Hajime and Yul that appeared on the grotto wall mimicking their movements.

Inside the cave, when the rain hits the roof, it makes a soft sound that echoes in the tunnels. The heavy rain made it difficult for Abrafo to fall asleep. He sat up against the cave wall and stared at the sleeping Shi a few feet away. When he was in Tangzang, he thought that the world outside his motherland was the same, but he was wrong. Since stepping out of Tangzang, he finally understood that everything was not as beautiful as he imagined.

The change in wind direction caused the rainwater that came into contact with the entrance of the cave to splash towards Shi. Abrafo reached out a paper talisman and threw it towards Shi. The paper talisman turned into a white cloth, blocking the rain from touching Shi. 

Early in the morning, Hajime felt a little cold. He curled up into a fetal position. At this time, he felt that his knees seemed to touch something. He found himself nestled in someone's arms. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a man's naked chest. The last thing he remembered was being carried away by the peacock and thrown to the ground. When he looked up and saw the man's chin, he knew immediately that the person holding him was Yul.

This isn't the first time Hajime has slept with a man, so when Hajime finally comes to his senses and feels a sore bottom, he doesn't need to ask Yul what happened last night. He knew that with Yul's attitude, Yul would never take the approach of being the first to approach, so if it wasn't Yul, then it had to be him, but why would he do that.

"Yul..." Hajime whispered. "Yul...wake up."

Hajime sat up and looked for his clothes in the small grotto. Hajime found his clothes on the other side of the grotto. Hajime quickly grabbed his clothes and started to put them on. At this time, Yul had already sat up.

Yul looked at Hajime and asked, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine," Hajime said, not making eye contact. He put on his robe and then looked at Yul. "I don't even remember how I got here."

Yul said, "Last night...do you remember what happened last night?" Yul started to put on his pants.

Hajime lied, "I remember part of it, but I thought I was dreaming." In fact, Hajime had no idea what happened last night. He wanted to ask Yul, but he was too embarrassed to talk about the topic, so he pretended he could put two and two together.

Yul said, "You...I mean you were acting weird. So, we...um...we."

Hajime said, "No need to say anything. I understand. Wait. You said I was acting weird. How weird was I acting?"

Yul said, "You're not yourself."

Hajime thought about it and didn't know what he had done differently since entering the Phoenix Chamber. He said, "Is it the fruit?"

Yul said, "We all ate the fruit, but nothing happened."

Hajime thought for a moment and said, "The peacock's blood. I stabbed the peacock in the belly, and the blood fell on me." He sighed. "Some blood got on my face. I swallowed some blood."

Yul turned to look at Hajime and said, "There's nothing wrong with us becoming intimate. After all, we are husband and wife."

Hajime smile wryly, "Ah-uh..."

"Let's find a way to get off this ledge," Yul said. He crawled out of the grotto onto the ledge and stood looking down at the mountain side. "It's easy to climb up here, but it will be difficult to climb down."

Hajime said, "Should we find a way to get down?" Hajime lowered his head. "I still can't summon my eagle." Hajime looked up. "Are we going to climb up?"

Yul looked towards the side of the mountain and found that there were many grottoes on the side of the mountain. He sighed and said, "I'm going down first, just follow my footsteps."

Hajime nodded.

As Yul climbed down the mountain wall, he saw a hole that was large and high enough to accommodate a man. He jumped up on the small ledge and look up at Hajime.

"Hajime, there is a crawl space here. I'm going in to check it out," Yul said, looking up at Hajime.

Although Yul's voice echoed, Hajime heard it clearly. He lowered his head and said, "Be careful." Hajime stood and waited as Yul disappeared into the mountain.

While the tunnel is large enough to accommodate a person, it is narrow, so Yul must move sideways instead of walking straight. About twenty meters into the tunnel, he found a larger open space with ten different tunnels.

Yul returned to the entrance of the tunnel, stood on the small ledge, and looked up at Hajime. "Come down," he said. "There's a bigger open space inside."

Yul watched Hajime slowly climb down the mountain wall. He reached out, grabbed Hajime's waist, and pulled him to the small ledge.

"There's a small tunnel that leads to a larger open space with ten different tunnels," Yul said. "Should we go take a look?"

Hajime said, "We're here to find one of the two items, so let's explore."

"This way," Yul said, leading the way into the narrow tunnel.

When Yul and Hajime arrived at the clearing. Hajime looked at Yul and said, "Let's split up. That way we can cover more ground."

"Help!"

Yul and Hajime turned to look at each other as a man's scream came from one of the ten tunnels.

"Help!"

Yul grabbed onto Hajime's hand and said, "Stay together."

Hajime asked, "From which direction did the scream come?"

Yul looked around the ten tunnels, and judging by the screams, it seemed like they were coming from every tunnel.

"I don't know," Yul said.
