Bound by Ice

It was simply a matter of pride. Now that Liuming and Lin are in a stare down, there was no way that Lin will make Liuming turn tail and leave.

Liuming will show that she is not afraid of Lin. As a matter of fact, Liuming would even initiate the conversation to show that she was unfazed.

"How is the temperature?"

"Same as usual, relaxing. How is Xiao?" Lin nonchalantly asked.

A brazen inquiry that left Liuming stumped, dipping into the warm water, she feigned ignorance, "I have no idea what you're talking about."

"I caught you two at the auction house, have you forgotten? Besides, I am aware of Xiao's knack for dual cultivation, I was her first partner after all."

Oh? Was Lin looking for a fight after all? Openly bragging in front of Liuming's face like this!

"And? I don't remember asking."

The open hostility of Liuming's tone merely inspired Lin to chuckle.

"I never took you for the jealous type, Liuming. Looks like Xiao has you wrapped around the palm of her hand."

"How absurd! I would never be jealous of you!" Liuming shouted, sensing that something is wrong. Why does Lin appear more composed than usual?

It was normal for Liuming that her ire towards the blue haired woman to be returned in earnest.

"Don't worry, your precious Xiao is safe, I will be leaving the sect soon."

There it was. The answer to Lin's sudden calm. Instead of rejoicing, Liuming was instead gripped with confusion.

"Are you abandoning your cultivation? I know you're stupid, but not this stupid."

"Stupid, huh. Maybe I am since I agreed to rush my marriage by the end of the month." Lin gazed solemnly gazed upwards, relaxing her back as she sinks into the relaxing waters. Wearing a bitter smile was all she could do to hide the sadness beneath. The sacrifice for her family was taking its toll on her that Lin even considered opening up to Liuming out of all the people.

A thorn on her side removed. It was a celebratory cause for Liuming! But oftentimes she would catch Xiao staring into the distance wearing the same forlorn gaze that Lin sported.

It was no secret that Xiao was thinking about her.

"Does Xiao know?"

"What need have I for telling Xiao? It will only make things harder for us."

"You're Xiao's first dual cultivation partner and you're not even going to invite her to the wedding?" Liuming returned the blue haired woman's words right back at her.

While Lin pondered for her response. Liuming's stare suddenly darted where it shouldn't have.

Towards Lin's impressive figure peeking through the waters. Her heart started to pound in her chest, as the effect of the extra seahorse she added earlier was now in full swing. And if that wasn't enough, Xiao leaving her unfinished left her pining for another woman's dominating touch.

"Xiao is not going to be happy if she finds out you're staring at me like that."

Lin's voice snapped Liuming out her daze.

"I wasn't staring at you! It's the heat...yeah... definitely." Liuming sunk, hiding from the embarrassment of being caught.

Lin smirked. Never would she have imagined that she would one day catch Liuming giving her a luststruck gaze. Come to think of it, if you overlook Liuming's bitchiness, she is indeed gorgeous. Perhaps if Lin was still with Xiao, they could have tamed Liuming's brattiness together?

Lin sighed. Such regret inspiring thoughts would do Lin no good. Rising from the water, Lin unabashedly bared everything towards Liuming.

"Keep our conversation a secret and I promise I won't tell Xiao that you were eyeing me out." Lin winked as she made her way towards the exit.

"You lightning cunt! I wasn't eyeing you out! Aaaaaah!"

Liuming shouted at the chuckling Lin, before sinking into the water as if she was sinking in regret. Liuming definitely can't tell her mistress that she was feeling 'odd' towards Lin, or else, she might get punished in a way that Liuming won't enjoy.

Adorning Liuming's neck was a majestic red collar, embroided on it were the words that made Liuming's heart shudder in shameful delight in front of the mirror. 'Xiao's Pet.'

The redness of the collar contrasted Liuming's naked porcelain skin, while the one that gave it to whispered into her ear.

"It looks great on you, I bet it would look even better if you went down on your knees."

Xiao's sultry voice might have sounded like a suggestion, but Liuming recognized it for what it was, an order.

No hesitation, Liuming followed her heart that is dancing to the drumming to the beat of humiliation, obeying her Mistress' order.

Both gazed at the mirror.

Mistress and pet, such wanton image was exacerbated by the red leash in Xiao's left hand while her right brushed tenderly Liuming's hair.

"An arrogant Young Mistress in the streets, my pet in the sheets." Xiao chuckled at her own remark.

"Are we finally picking up where we left off from earlier, Mistress?"

Without care, Liuming gasped at how forceful Xiao yanked her leash. Her collar swaying into Xiao's direction, hinting that it was now time for the Mistress to play with her pet.

Xiao ordered for Liuming to put her hands on the wall. As soon as Liuming obeyed, Xiao used her ice qi to bind them using a bracelet like arches on each of Liuming's hands.

Xiao was getting more and more proficient with this 'Benevolent Ice' technique from her master. It may lack the harsh coldness of usual ice, offering instead a refreshing sensation, it still maintained the rigidity of Xiao's cultivation. An ice harder than steel.

"I want you to try and burn your restraint."

"B-but Mistress, why?" Confused, Liuming asked while she was bent and her behind sticking out.

"Just do it."

Purple flames ejected from Liuming's palms. Her eyes widened in surprise as her Mistress' ice failed to melt.

It was an irrefutable fact that ice thaws before flame, but with a cultivator's qi in play, one can even freeze that concept in over its head depending on how powerful one's cultivation is.

Her Mistress' firm but soft hands grasped Liuming's cheeks, laughing as condescendingly while she taunted near her ear.

"Do you see you see how powerless you are against this commonner, precious young mistress? I can do whatever I want with you since you won't be able to free yourself from my ice."

After Xiao's verbal assault, Xiao let go of her pet so she could marvel at Liuming's exposed back. Xiao formed an ice cube between her fingers, different form her pet's restraints, this one had the natural qualities of ice. Freezing and harsh to the touch.

"Kyaaah!" Liuming whimpered as she felt an ice cube touch her skin, right beneath her collar.

With sadistic glee, Xiao slowly slid the ice along Liuming's spine.

Moving the ice cube slide across Liuming's spotless skin, Xiao smirked, "Ah, what would your esteemed family say if they ever saw you like this? The Shen family heiress, collared and reduced to a plaything."

With ice cube done with its erotic travel, Xiao flicked it away as she awaited for Liuming's response.

"M-mistress, p-please, you've already denied me during our alchemy training earlier. Haven't you teased me enough?" Liuming's tone was shaky. She was practically begging for Xiao to give it to her

Xiao's ice might be unfreezing, but the same can't be said for her heart as she heard Liuming whimpering, begging for her touch.

Xiao kissed Liuming's cheek before moving into her behind.

"You're so cute when you beg." An ice phallus rose from Xiao's nether, hard and ready to penetrate. With one swift motion, Xiao entered Liuming, making the redhead moan in icy pleasure "Now, moan for your Mistress."

Pistoning her hips, Xiao pulled Liuming's leash.

A lascivious sound filled Liuming's private quarter, the sound of Xiao's thigh slapping against Liuming's ass, while her ice phallus pounded the young mistress for all her worth.

"Mistress, *aaah* I-Im cumming!" Liuming's breathing was uneven from all the moaning.

Pleasing her pet, Xiao tenderly caressed Liuming's clit while rhythmically blowing her back, making for one powerful orgasm. 'tis a pleasure not only because she was bound by Xiao's ice, but also she could feel bound by Xiao's affection. Even more so now that Xiao broke the former, strengthening the latter by embracing Liuming and planting a soft kiss in her cheek.

"Something on your mind?"

Playing with Liuming's hair, she heard Xiao's question while she laid on her chest. It was that obvious on her face?

Liuming debated if Xiao should learn about Lin's marriage getting rushed. Liuming's brow furled. To hell with that woman, why was she even thinking of her in the first place!?

Forcing a smile, Liuming answered...

"It's nothing."
