The Sable Cicada

(Lian Li POV)

"Master, where is the Fiery Flames Sect?" I asked, trying to keep my breathing calm.

Master had just returned from his bath and there were still traces of moisture on his neck, a droplet of water rolling past his collar temptingly. I won't deny having thoughts of licking it once or twice… Maybe a few dozen times.

Master designated the day we returned as a rest day, letting us relax after the journey back from the Phoenix Sect and also as a reward of sorts for doing so well during the Sect Showcase Festival.

We wanted to peek on Master's bathing but upon reaching the Sect, Sect Master Long, or who we know as Shameless Long, called Master away for some reason.

When Master returned, he had already taken his bath and joined us in the garden's pavilion within his courtyard.

Wasted opportunity indeed...
