Once Mo Yuan's vast and familiar aura registered through Kunlun Mountain, young men dressed in white were seen rushing down the Grand Hall to welcome his arrival. They weren't quite prepared to see their usually reserved Master walking in hand-in-hand with their youngest junior. Some were barely able to hide their mirth when Seventeenth tried to discreetly pull back her hand and failed. She made a pouty face behind Mo Yuan's back. The faint red tint on her cheeks betrayed the sign of a maiden's shyness, a look that was so out of place on her mischievous face they all remembered so well. Her anxious eyes glanced around warily as if she was waiting one of them to sprout nonsense at any moment.
Die Feng took a pity on her and turned to address their mentor. "Master, Seventeenth, welcome back. We all thought you'll take a few more days. We hope you have an enjoyable trip."
He took a moment to study Mo Yuan's complexion and nodded in approval. "Master's face no longer looks haggard, the aura is also filled with vitality and vigor. Seventeenth, you really did well this time."
"Wha-?" Bai Qian got flustered and choked violently when her senior disciple commended her on her obvious care and attentiveness to their mentor's well-being. Though he meant well, his innocent yet meaningful praise inadvertently provoked another kind of scandalous image in her mind. If her seniors ever learned what actually helped improve his cultivation, she was certain they would be dying of mortification.
"Seventeenth, are you alright? Your face is so red."
It was Zi Lan who asked, why she was not surprised? Bai Qian sent him a murderous glare even while she hiccupped. He balked and backtracked immediately, slightly confused by her sudden hostility.
"Breathe slowly." Mo Yuan's hand shot out and rubbed her back soothingly. "It was a long trip back here. Seventeenth recently fell sick. She have just recovered. "
Bai Qian gave him a grateful look, everyone aah-ed and nodded in understanding. When her breathing returned to normal, Mo Yuan whispered telling her to go ahead and rest.
"I have something to discuss with your seniors. Go and get some rest. We'll leave for Qing Qiu early tomorrow morning. "
Bai Qian moved a hand to cover her mouth and faked a yawn. "I'm going to bed. Good day, everyone." She didn't wait for a response and left quickly. On the way, she actually felt drowsy and tired. She went straight to Mo Yuan's chamber, instead of hers. She took off her robe then laid down on his bed out of habit and fell asleep right away.
"Master, I have prepared everything just as you instructed." Die Feng told him after Si Yin left. As Mo Yuan's first and eldest disciple, it fell upon him to help organize the wedding. He had started working on his mentor's assignments as soon as he was summoned back from the West Sea Palace two weeks earlier.
"Now the betrothal gift is ready and waiting in your meditation cave. The dress is being made as we speak, it'll take some time for the female's dress. I'm confident it'll not take more than a month to finish," he concluded the progress he had made so far.
Mo Yuan trusted Die Feng's decision implicitly, his boy was meticulous and thorough. His exemplary performance never failed to impress him. He acknowledged his effort with an appreciative nod. "Thank you for everything. I know it is hard work for you."
"It's my pleasure to do this for you and Seventeenth." He smiled pleasantly. "Master, are you going to see her parents tomorrow?"
Mo Yuan nodded his head once, confirming it.
"If Ninth was still here, he'd be begging to accompany you." Die Feng noted, a touch of sadness in his voice. "He always wanted to meet the Emperor."
Both fell into their respective thoughts for a moment before Mo Yuan spoke up. "That is all for today. You should get some rest." When he saw Die Feng had yet to leave, he asked. "Is there anything you wish to add?"
Die Feng threw him an indecisive glance, his stance wavered for a minute. "No, Master. I'll retire now. I bid you a good night." He bowed and drew back hastily.
Mo Yuan watched his silhouette disappear into the night, then he got up and headed towards his own chamber.
Bai Qian stirred from her sleep when he came back a few hours later. Mo Yuan was not surprised to see her sleeping in his room. He folded his robe, placed it on the stand nearby and climbed into the bed. He settled down on his side.
"Go back to sleep. It's already late."
She rolled over to face him. "I'm not sleepy anymore. Tomorrow, if things go well, what do you plan to do next?" She asked curiously.
"Are you going into seclusion again?" She knew he left the last one early. It would take quite some time for him to get back to full strength.
"I am, a week at most this time. Die Feng will help with the preparation, I've already left my instructions with him."
"A week? It's going to be hard sleeping alone again." She raised herself up on her elbows and placed her chin on his chest, watching him with her doe eyes. Her long scented hair spilled over his arm.
"Why, because I make a good pillow?"
Mo Yuan stopped her playful beating and seized her arms before hauling her entire body up against of him. "You get flustered too easily. Today you almost revealed your thoughts to them." His lips trailed to her neckline while his hands began divesting her of her clothes.
"You knew what I was thinking? You weren't reading my mind, were you?" She questioned, her deft hands loosened the knot of his sash, matching his moves.
"It wasn't that hard to make a guess. You have to get your mind out of the gutter, Seventeenth." His hand cupped her beautiful, bare breast, kneading it with his loving fingers.
"And whose fault is it?" she muttered. He tempted her and made her crave his touch. Recently, it was all she could think about when he was near.
"You're blaming me?"

Separating from the warmth of her body, he brought her down and turned them so his body pillowed her once more. His soft lips touched her temple reverently and then curled into a small smile.
"Why are you smiling?" She can't help but asked.
"Are we back to 'Master' now?" He teased. She had stopped calling him like that months into their self-imposed retreat.
Heat rushed to her face, she totally forgot she had called out to him in her heightened state. When they were alone together, calling him by his name gave her the feeling of intimacy she craved. Now they were back in Kunlun Mountain, she unconsciously slipped back into her old habits.
Anyway, she will definitely not calling him 'Mo Yuan' in front of her seniors, they will probably tease her to death if their reaction today was any indication. So, she chose to ignore his question and instead snuggled into his chest.
"If you keep doing that, you're going to confuse our children greatly."
Her opened her eyes quickly and gazed up at him. "Our children?"
"We're getting married soon, isn't having children together one day a natural course of life?" His hand ghosted down her back, rubbing along her spine.
"It is." She chuckled. "I cannot wait to see our son. I hope he looks just like you. I never got to see you when you were young."
"Why do you think it'll be a son?" He inquired.
"Have you seen my family?" She jabbed a finger into his chest. "All males, except Xiao Jiu and I."
"I'd like to have a daughter. One that has your looks and charms."
She peered at his face then shook her head. "No, you'll just scare away all of her prospective husbands."
He raised an eyebrow. "Is that so?"
"I know so," she retorted. "What are you doing?" She asked when he towered over her body and pressed her body back into the bedding.
"Building up cultivation and practicing for the future." He replied with a straight face. All the talk about their 'future prospects' pumped a rush of renewed desire through his veins.
"Again?" Came her muffled voice, as his lips descended down and enticed hers for another bout of lovemaking.
"Again."
Note : Special thanks to Noitratoxin who help with proofreading this chapter. One of my readers bemoaned when I told her fan services ended with last chapter, another asked for a scene of BQ pleasing her beloved Shifu. I guess it wouldn't hurt if another intimate scene was added here. It'd be a (long) while before another chance presents itself after all. Hope you can enjoy it.
Since the original chapter was lengthen, I broke it into two parts and will post another one later. I hope it's not too much to read, I know I tend to write a chapter too long. Until next time and thanks so much for leaving comments for me. I love to hear what's on your mind.
