Outbratted

The relaxed reunion between the two made them stay in their spirit beast forms the whole time.

At dinner, Yanmei relayed to her cat lover what had happened while she was away. The extermination of Transient Blades, Fang Xuan's extreme retaliation, and his battle against Xiao.

"So this brat managed to destroy an entire sect all by himself." Luqing smirked as she laid both her legs in on the tea table, while laying back in a relaxed manner. "Impressive."

For someone who loved under the creed of the survival of the fittest, Luqing held no sympathy for all of those that Fang Xuan eliminated.

"No, that's not impressive at all! The action he did in the name of vengeance is going to traumatize him for life! And would you please remove your legs from the table!"

Yanmei disagreed vehemently, even going as far as to pick on Luqing's brutish behavior of putting her feet up. The unladylike behavior from Luqing caused Yanmei to scowl.

"You want my feet removed?" Luqing's smirk grew wider, swaying her long hair backwards and locking both of her arms together. "Then go remove them yourself."

Although it looked clean had no grimes on its edges, only heavens know where Luqing's black shoes had been from her travels and she dared put up on top of Yanmei's tea table. Sometimes, this tomboyish woman was just too much for Yanmei.

Yanmei sighed, "You call Fang Xuan a brat while you're acting more of a brat than he is. I'm warning you, Luqing, remove your feet or else..."

"Or else what?" Luqing asked.

"Or else this!"

Swiftly, Yanmei tried to pull the table from underneath Luqing's legs. But to no avail, Luqing's reflex proved faster as her legs clamped down on the table. It was as if a gigantic boulder had rested upon the table with how Yanmei found it it impossible to move.

"Ahahaha...!" Yanmei's bratty laugh taunted her lover. Repeating the same question as if rubbing salt on wound at Yanmei's failed attempt. "Or. Else. What?"

Yanmei's frown faded, transforming into a smirk that mirrored Yanmei's. This woman really knew how to get into Yanmei's nerves, wedging herself all the way in like an accupuncture needle.

All six of Yanmei's tails flared up, a warning that she had enough of her lover's antics.

"Come on, Yan Yan, are you really going to fight me over something this paltry?" Luqing chuckled.

Yanmei stood, poised to strike, "If it is that paltry then remove your feet on my table. NOW!"

"Make me." Luqing said.

And so make her Yanmei did, as she lunged at her lover. Like an angry bat out of hell, Yanmei tackled Luqing, making her not only remove her feet from the table, but roll on the floor along with Yanmei.

Cat hisses and fox whimpers were abound as the two turned into a furious ball of scuffling spirit beasts. After being far apart for quite a while, such play fighting revitalized their connection as spirit beast mates.

After the struggle, Yanmei ended up on top, pinning Luqing's shoulders with both hands. The two are out of breath, their clothes ravaged with claw marks as they are sweating like crazy, giggling at the absurdity of their frisky scuffle.

Luqing's laughter faded into a solemn gaze, peering straight into Yanmei's eyes.

"I missed you." Luqing admitted.

"Unfortunately, even with how much of a colossal brat you are, I must admit I feel the same. I missed you too."

As if to continue the kiss cut short from Luqing's arrival, Luqing's head pressed upwards, luring Yanmei into a soft kiss.

And since they already had their reunion, their tongues were desperate to reunite as well as both opened their mouths to leet their tongues meet. Like wet vines, they tangled around each other, not in fury, but in a slow, relishing fashion.

Luqing savored Yanmei's delicious taste, but she wanted more. Thus, she broke their kiss.

"All this sweat makes me want to go for a bath, come, Yan Yan."

"Luqing, we can't..."

This whole situation with Fang Xuan was starting to irritate Luqing. If she could, Luqing would shove a fistful of healing pills into his mouth just so he won't get in the way of their love making.

"It's not like we're leaving your house! I'll go and tend to him personally if he acts up again." Luqing pleaded. "I need this, I need you."

+++

Although not the grandest, Yanmei's bathing pool still proved to be spacious enough to fit her and Luqing in it.

The warmth of the bath water combined with the fragrant aroma of the herbs mixed within eviscerated all the tension from their mock fighting from earlier.

Feeling Yanmei's fingers from behind, tenderly rifling through Luqing's hair and cat ears, relaxed the hell cat as she closed her eyes. Yanmei's perky breasts pressed upon Luqing's back. Luqing smiled as the heavenly feeling originating from her chest spread all over her body.

Yanmei smirked. The wildness of her mate that she exhibited from earlier was tamed by her touch, making Yanmei want to service Luqing even more.

Once Luqing's ears were thoroughly cleaned, Yanmei leaned her lips closer into one of Luqing's cat ears, seductively whispering a question while her hands massaged both of Luqing's breasts.

"You like that?"

How could Luqing not? She was practically cooing at Yanmei's caress. Luqing nodded as she savored her mate's hands tending to her breasts.

"Good. It's time for us to wash your tail." Yanmei's smirk turned into a wicked grin. She grabbed her lover's neck and turned her around to face her onto the pool's edge.

Yanmei yanked Luqing's cat tail, yanking her out of her euphoric state and into one of irritation.

"Ouch, you evil fox! What gives!?" Luqing asked as she was bent over, giving her foxy lover access to her peachy backside.

Yanmei laughed. If Luqing was going to be a brat, then two can play at that game. Although she did not use a lot of force, Yanmei felt bad for tugging on Luqing's tail as a fellow tail owner, Yanmei was going to make sure that her care will make up for it.

"What gives is that you're constantly testing my patience, you unrefined cat!" Yanmei spanked her lover's ass so hard, Luqing yelped. "What do you have to say for yourself?"

With the threat of Yanmei's hand imprinting on her bottom, surely Luqing would apologize to spare herself from the humiliation?

"Hmmm." Luqing licked her lips. "You can go harder if you like."

"That's not...ugh... nevermind." Yanmei sighed. There was no winning with this cat woman. Yanmei just doesn't have it in her, Luqing outbratted her. "Hold still, I'm going to wash your tail."

From the base to the tip, Yanmei made sure that her lover's tail was sparkling clean. Much like their hair and skin, their bestial parts must also be maintained to a high beauty standard even if they don't show it to the general public.

With Luqing's tail done, Yanmei moved on to the next part that begged for her caress. Luqing's dripping pussy. It was hard to ascertain where her wetness begins and the bath water ends. Luqing was horny like that.

Yanmei slowly rubbed Luqing's clit as she leaned in to bite one of Luqing's cat ears, leaving Luqing moaning with delight.

Moments later, Yanmei's middle and ring finger plunged inside of Luqing's pussy. The lascivious sound of splashing water and sliding flesh worked in concerto with Luqing's escalating moans.

The sensation of Yanmei's twin fingers filling the inside of Luqing combined with her lover's fangs playfully biting into her cat ear was orgasmic! The rhythm of Yanmei's thrusts pushing her closer and closer into climax!

"Ah, fuck...aaah...Yan Yan, I am...aaah...I am cumming!" Amidst Luqing's moans, she was able to announce as Luqing's apex claimed her.

Feeling her mate's walls tighten around her finger, Yanmei's fingers remained inside as she awaited the ebb of her mate's climax.

+++

Luqing was right, she definitely needed that.

Fresh from the bath and now clothed, the two shared some tea as they kept watch over Fang Xuan's situation.

Watching Luqing's pleasant expression as she sipped the tea turn into a concerned one, Yanmei couldn't help but ask.

"Is there something wrong with the tea?"

"No, the tea is good. It is my master, Shangying. She wants me to inform Xiao that the Shadow Order are moving our base of operations at Hell county, and that she should come and join us with our fight against the Phoenix King."

Yanmei already knew what Luqing was getting at. To confirm her suspicion, Luqing said it.

"Travel with us, Yan Yan, please." Luqing pleaded, her tone containing the desperation of wanting her mate by her side.

"Luqing, you know I can't leave my shop. It means everything to me."

"It's not that easy."

As if cutting in on their conversation, the still pained Fang Xuan awoke, trying and failing at the simple act of standing up.
