A Special Night Hunt

Jin Ling

"Did you hear the rumors? They said that Wei Wuxian is going to the Cloud Recesses for a family banquet he is supposed to attend along with Lan Wangji. The two of them most be close to Gusu by now, because the banquet is expected tomorrow night. You think he may show up for tonight night hunting? Should we go and hunt near the Cloud Recesses? It's been almost a year now... maybe we can finally make him agree to teach us." Zizhen said and Jin Ling smiled mischievously.

"Yeah, that sounds like a good plan. Sizhui is going to get out anyways, he always hunts with the Ghost General these days." Jin Ling agree, thinking in how he could take Wei Wuxian by surprise. He had already make him wait for almost a year, not to mention his Uncle who was really itching for that duel Wuxian had agree to, when he build up a golden core again.

He knew that doing so take many years for a normal cultivator, but Wei Wuxian was a prodigy, probably the most talented in his previous life generation and thus, he should take less to build up a second golden core. And even if he was still halfway, that didn't have anything to do with teaching him a few moves. He didn't even need Suibian for that, because they all knew he was quite capable without his spiritual sword.

"Alright, then we should head out immediately, it's a good thing we are already close been in Qinghe, but if your Uncle find out... his visit to Nie Huaisang should be a short one, right?" Zizhen asked Jin.

"That's right. Jin Ling, didn't I forbid you to go to Gusu at night, you are grounded! I already had enough complainings from Lan Qiren, you are making Lan Sizhui get punish for going out after curfew to meet with you lot!" Jiang Cheng said from their back, making both youth, Ling and Zizhen jump in their seats and spill their tea.

"Uncle!" Jin Ling said, swallowing hard.

"Yeah, your Uncle. The very same one you were just planning to piss off again. Maybe I really should break up your legs." Jiang Cheng said angrily. This was now quite common, because his nephew was becoming unruled, the same way Wuxian was when he was... Ah, it had been such a long time since he last saw Wei Wuxian and he missed him. He was hoping his cultivation was going well and that he could build up an even stronger core.

"But Uncle... Wei Wuxian is going to show up in Gusu tomorrow night. He must be close by now, don't you want to see him? I thought you were itching for that duel he promise." Jin Ling said, already seen the change in his Uncle.

"If he is ready, he will come to the Lotus Pier and look for me. Don't go causing Lord Xichen, Lan Wangji or Wuxian more headaches. All three of them will had their hands full with Lan Qiren complains about having Wei Wuxian in the same table as him. We all know he is not his biggest fan." Jiang advise him.

"But Uncle... I was hoping for him to..." Jin Ling begin protesting.

"Enough, you brat. We will stay for the night in the Inn, just make sure Fairy does not go out of town tonight, otherwise you will have to find it on the woods by yourself and face Lan Wangji's wrath for scaring Wuxian in his first visit to Gusu after long months. You had been warned..." Jiang said, turning to move away and make a reservation at the Inn. Behind him, he knew that Jin Ling was planning to purposely release Fairy, so he could go out in a night hunt near the Cloud Recesses and meet either with Lan Sizhui or Wei Wuxian if he was in luck.

He hoped that he could stumble with Wuxian, so he could maybe convince him to pay Lotus Pier a visit after his compromise in the Cloud Recesses. He honestly didn't need to have a full core to go back home, because he missed him and just a talk will do. Jin Ling was also in need to spend some time with Wuxian, he was impatiently waiting for the day he would teach him a few things and perhaps his guilt for stabbing him will ease a bit or disappear once and for all.

"Wuxian, you idiot, you better come home soon." Jiang said to himself, as he enter the Inn.

Wei Wuxian

That night, Wei Ying and Lan Wangji were walking in the forest close to Qinghe. They had make good time, even when they had encounter a few corpses along the way and were heading to the town to rest for the night. Tomorrow morning they will head out to Gusu for the Lan Clan family banquet in the night.

He was eager to see Ah Yuan again, but spending two days in the Cloud Recesses with its thousands of rules, was something he was trying to assimilate. Giving the fact that Lan Qiren didn't approve of him, he will had to act as properly as expected from any Clan member, not to mention follow every single rule, so not put Lan Zhan in troubles, nor give Lan Qiren a reason to scold him.

"Wei Ying... I broke rules when you were gone, just be yourself." Wangji told him and Wuxian half-smiled.

"I know... you drank liquor, got drunk, broke curfew, rise a colony of rabbits... and hurt Clan members for my sake... for which you paid the price... Lan Zhan..." Wei stood in front of him and put his arms around Wangji's neck.

"Exactly because of that, I will behave when in the Cloud Recesses, so no one will point a finger at you for something I did wrong. I will be the perfect guest for as long as we stay there, I owe you that and more, much more... my Lan Zhan..." Wei Ying said before he kiss him, to show him how much he love him. He had try his best to make it up to him for almost a year now.

"Wei Ying..." Wangji whisper against his lips, as he once again took control of Wei's kiss, to gift him with his undying passion for him, but then, just when Wangji was guiding Wuxian to lay his back over a tree trunk, they heard the sound of a dog bark. Out of impulse, Wei Ying broke the kiss, but did not let go of Wangji.

"A dog!" Wei shouted, looking around into the semi-darkness inside the woods and Wangji instinctively moved in front of Wei to protect his lover from his worst nightmare. The barking was now coming closer and so was Wei Ying's hold on him.

"Lll... Lan Zhan..." Wuxian whisper on his ear, from his back.

"That's Fairy, Jin Ling's dog." He told him, which make Wei relax a bit, yet still do not let go of him.

"That brat, seriously.... Is he in troubles again? I hope he is not pissing off Huaisang this time." Wei Ying said.

"It's close." Wangji said, taking Wei Ying's hand on his.

"Then... let's have a look..." But Fairy bark again, this time even closer and Wei Ying simply held his lover by the waist as if his life depend of it and burry his head on Wangji's wide back. Lan Zhan smiled and turned his head to glance at him.

"Wei Ying, I'm here, there is no need to fear." He said and Wei sighed, releasing Wangji, just a second before Fairy showed up closely followed by a corp behind it.

Both, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan reacted on instinct, sending forward their respective sword to slash the corpse chasing the dog, killing it, then they moved forward and ran toward the direction Fairy had come and soon, they found a group of juniors fighting a few corpses at once.

Seen them in a pinch, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan moved to help the juniors. As they had train together for almost a year, their synchrony while attacking was flawless and perfect. The juniors of various Clans were stunned to see them in action, working back to back to kill the corpses with deadly efficiency and in a blink of an eye, the threat was gone.

"Jin Ling, why are you here at this hour? Did Jiang Cheng knows you are doing night huntings without supervision? If you keep this up, he will definitely break your legs one day..." Wei said, turning to look at his nephew.

"We are not kids anymore, we are old enough to go hunting on our own, Uncle can't said anything. And whose fault is this, anyways? Didn't you promise to teach us a few tricks, months ago?" Jin question him back and the other juniors agree, nodding with their heads.

"You brat, I'm still..."

"Wof! Wof!" A set of barks just from behind Wuxian, make him jump into Wangji's arms with a yell, who catch him effortlessly bridal style, making the juniors laugh.

"Behave." Wangji said, looking at Fairy, who sat on the ground and looked down.

"Lan Zhan..." Wei whisper, as Wangji put him back to the floor.

"It's okay, its Fairy." Wangji reassure him and Wei smiled at him nervously.

"So embarrassing..." Jin Ling said, looking the other way while folding his arms over his chest.

"Then you can forget about your lessons, as you don't want an embarrassing teacher..." Wei said turning to leave.

"Jin Ling, idiot, don't let him go now. Weren't you waiting for him to agree?" Zizhen whisper, as he was the closer to him and Jin Ling drop his pretense, knowing he wasn't convincing anyone of his fake embarasment.

"Wait! You promise!" Jin Ling shouted immediately and Wuxian smiled wildly.

"Alright, let's head to town now and after we attend the Lan family banquet, I will go visit your Uncle at the Lotus Pier. I will give a few lessons to all that shows up there in the next four days. How about that?" Wuxian said to the juniors and there were exited yells of approval, with Jin Ling smiling, quite pleased to finally spend some time, with the one his mother had call brother all her life.

Wei Wuxian

They walked the rest of the way back to town without further encounters with corpses and with Fairy going on ahead of them, so Wei Ying could be at ease. Once in town, they went into the Inn Jiang Cheng had booked rooms for him and Jin Ling and shared Cheng's table, who was having a drink.

"Wuxian, how are you doing these days? I see you carry Suibian now." Jiang Cheng asked, wishing for everything to be going smoothly.

"Yeah... my golden core is building up nicely, I told you I am a prodigy. It's hard work, but worthy. Prepare yourself, soon I will be able to put you on your knees." Jiang laughed.

"You wish. I had been training too, you know..." Cheng said as he drank a cup of wine.

"That's even better. How is the brat doing? No one is bulling him right?" Wuxian asked.

"No one will dare in front of me, not that Lord Xichen will allow it anyway. We all were fooled by Jin Guangyao without exceptions, so no one can put fingers on others. It's been peaceful under Xichen's supervision and his popularity had escalated tenfold with the ladies. By the way, you rank third now and Wangji second." Jiang added, even when the ranking didn't mean anything, especially if they were lovers. Wei Ying smiled.

"Ah, Lan Zhan... you are still second, I'm so proud to have one of the Twin Jade's for myself..." Wuxian said raising his cup toward Wangji, then drinking the hot liquid in one go, making Lan Zhan red in the ears.

"I see you are still shameless. Good to know you haven't change." Jiang Cheng said while sighing.

They talked for a while and after quite a few more drinks, Lan Wangji took Wei Ying, half-drunk to a rented room and gently put him on the bed. He was going to cover him with the warm sheets, but Wei simply held him, putting his arms over his shoulders to trap him atop him.

"Wei Ying, you drank more than usual..." Wangji whisper.

"I can't drink inside the Cloud Recesses, so I'm taking my share now." Wei said, while looking at him with a melting smile.

"I will bring you some for the night." Wangji told him, which make Wei Ying happy. He was willing to break curfew again to go down and bring him what he needed, probably including better food than the ones served in the Cloud Recesses. Ha, he loved the handsome man more and more each day.

"Lan Zhan, Lan Wangji, Light Bearing Lord, Second hottest among the cultivators young Masters... I love you... and want you... now." Wuxian said, pulling him even closer, making Lan Zhan smile for him in return.

"As you wish, Wei Ying." Lan Zhan said, before he moved his head down to kiss his lover that was in need of him, as he always was each night. Soon they were sharing a night of mutual passion, as they make love to each other. However, that night was different from others for one fact, because as they rested from their passion, Wei voiced the thing he was thinking since they being their romantic relationship.

"Lan Zhan... let's get marry officially in the Lotus Pier after our visit to the Cloud Recesses. We can begin by bowing to your parents in the Lan Clan Ancestral Hall, then finish it in the Lotus Pier with mine." Wei said, as he lay his head over Wangji's naked chest.

"Anything you want." Lan Zhan said, as his heart beat twice the faster inside his chest and Wei moved happily to lay over his lover, sitting over his lap.

"Then you can be my wife..." Wei said as he moved down to kiss his Lan, then moved back to admire him and Wangji half smiled.

"Wei Ying..." Wangji whisper as he moved up to wrap Wei in his arms and push him down, so he will be on top of his still naked lover.

"Even Sizhui see me as the husband..." Lan Zhan whisper, looking down at him.

"Ah Yuan, that ungrateful little..." Wangji moved his hand down in a slow, but pleasurable way down his chest, making Wei Ying moan.

"Am I right?" Wangji asked, knowing the answer, because he knew by heart all of Wei Ying's pleasurable spots.

"That's not fair... alright, you can be the husband, let's marry..." Wei said as Wangji go down even further, to trap his arousal.

"Hum... yes." Lan Zhan said as he moved down to have a taste of him for the second time that night.

"Lan Zhan... damn... so good." Wei moaned as his lover, soon to be called husband played with him as he wished, because he could not resist his touch, nor his love for anything in the world. He loved the man more than himself in that life and whatever he asked of him, he will give it... gladly.
