Author's note
Hey look I'm alive! Now you all don't have to worry that I abandoned this story. In all seriousness, I do apologize for such a long hiatus, in truth I already have the entire outline and draft done a year ago, I just never found the motivation or drive to write the nitty gritty details, but that ends today! This is the final chapter for Kinship of Frost and going forward with my future stories, I would keep it at two chapters at most.
Though I must admit, I have way too much fun writing this chapter.
Chongyun placed his fingers underneath his chin as he surveyed the plethora of woman accessories before him. From silky shawls, jade hairpins and crystal mint perfumes, the young exorcist was having a hard time choosing the right gift for his aunt. He wasn't looking for anything extravagant, just a little something to show his appreciation and care for her. The morning market of Liyue harbor was filled with bustling activity as usual, the loud rowdy crowds and the aggressive market vendors calling out to any unfortunate customer to guilt trip them to buy their wares was a sight the exorcist was familiar with. Currently, the friendly shop lady Chongyun was browsing at swooned over his handsome and boyish young looks before bombarding him with offers and discounts. The rather humorous if not terrifying scene earned the attention of onlookers, though the amused smiles on their faces seemed to indicate this was a daily occurrence and nothing out of the ordinary. After all, Chongyun had performed many deeds and virtues for the city of Liyue, so it was no surprised that many residents or would be suitors looked up to him.
"Chongyun!" The familiar voice calling out to him was the perfect excuse to get out of the awkward situation, so with an apology and a bow, the gallant exorcist left the terrifying shopkeeper and met up with the very people who called out to him. The enthusiastic smiles plastered on their faces and their exotic clothing seemed to mark them as unique, if not dangerous individuals if you were to spot their vision tassels. He waved to his friends before noticing a certain individual well versed in the culinary arts is missing from the group.
"Hey Hu tao, Xingqiu. Where's Xiangling?" The absence of the fiery chef raised eyebrows from Chongyun, she would usually announced her adventures to her friends before embarking them. Though the cryo adept didn't need to worry for his dear friend as Xiangling is perfectly capable of handling herself. With the faithful and lovable Guoba by her side, any assailants would be seared and burned to crisp before they could even lay a hand on her. Truth to be told, Chongyun has always been afraid of Xiangling, though not in a wicked and spiteful manner. She had always tried her best to convince him to eat some of her more exotic dishes, but her love for spices and the unconventional had always made it difficult for Chongyun to accept her nice offers. The last thing the exorcist wants it to give into his berserk and maniac state, which to be fair had happened at least once with Xiangling.
"Oh she is out collecting ingredients for her new recipe, she's making a stop at Mondstadt." The city of freedom, famous for its dandelion wine and the Knights of Favonius who protects the city. Chongyun had visited the city once with the traveler and while the claymore user still prefer the majestic harbor city of Liyue, the quiet streets and lovely architecture of Mondstandt were truly a unique sight to behold. Not to mention the amazing cuisine that contained little to no spice in it, Good Hunter's Fisherman's Toast and Sticky Honey Roast is criminally underrated.
"How do you fare Chongyun? I haven't seen you lately." Xingqiu spoke politely as always as he waved his hands. The second son of the Feiyun Commerce Guild, this highly influential and flamboyant looking adolescent is the proud practitioner of Guhua's clan's martial arts. Chongyun merely smiled and were about to reply to his old friend when Miss Hu Tao chimed in.
"That's because he is out with his auntie~" The young man's face flushed red in embarrassment at the cheeky and teasing tone from the funeral parlor director. Akin to being caught red-handed, the exorcist clenched his fists and spoke in a bashful tone that hid little of his embarrassed nature.
"H-Hu Tao!" The smug look from her face only grew wider as she enjoyed riling him up. Seeing a calm and reserved individual like Chongyun acting out of character and out of his shell was just too satisfying for her. It was a form of power and sadism that just makes her go giddy and happy.
"Well it's the truth isn't it? Lately, you two are always together whenever I see you." Chongyun bit his tongue lightly to halt himself from speaking. Hu Tao wasn't wrong per se, ever since he visited Shenhe and experienced the family bonding bath with her, they have gotten much closer with one another. You can say that Shenhe's intention of bathing with her nephew to strengthened their bond together had work marvelously, too marvelously in fact.
The exorcist had found himself spending more time with her, almost spending every waking second with his beautiful and aloof aunt, outside of official duties of course. She would bring him out to her favourite (albeit expensive) restaurants and feast on the amazing dishes, while he would show her parts of the city that are yet to be discovered by tourists. The best memories were just the two of them taking strolls and leisure walks around the city during the evening, gazing upon the orange filled skies and the gentle waves of the ocean rippling across the harbor. But it was the calming silence between them, a special moment that didn't require words to convey their appreciate and affection for each other.
"I'm just spending time with her, there's nothing wrong with that right?" Xingqiu noted that Chongyun's response was defensive and uptight, clearly he wasn't pleased of others ridiculing or mocking his close relationship with his aunt, and who can blame him? Not only she saved his life from a surprised ambush that would have ended his life, but she also showered him with love and attention too, affection that was lacking during Chongyun's strict and martialized upbringing. The many glimpses of the two walking in Liyue harbor searching for the next exotic food and lovely trinkets for each other was honestly an endearing sight, although it was a little weird the two would always holds hands with one another, particularly with the older lady taking the lead. But Xingqiu concluded that Miss Shenhe was perhaps a little doting and protective over Chongyun, which made sense given her maternal nature.
"Of course, I'm kinda glad you and her are on good terms. Can't say the same for Mr Xingqiu over here though." The dry delivery from Hu Tao crushed Xingqiu's hopes of getting on Shenhe's good side. The harmless pranks and jokes he pulled on Chongyun seemed to have bite him back now, the feelings of despair and dread whenever Shenhe was standing near him was absolutely tangible and suffocating. After all, this was the same woman who can suplex a lawachurl and lift a giant boulder the size of the jade chamber effortlessly, she can snapped his neck with her bare fingers if she choose to do so. Shenhe's isolated upbringing meant she didn't understand the purpose of jokes or the intricacies of socializing, so she takes things quite literally and at face value.
"Lady Shenhe is not fond of me despite my many attempts at befriending her." Chongyun chuckled at the look of despair from his dear friend and patted his shoulders in a patronizing manner. For as much as Chongyun trust his aunt, he couldn't help but to wonder if Shenhe would do something extreme to closest confidant and friend. It would be hilarious and nothing short of payback.
"Auntie is a little odd but she means well. I'm sure she would warm up to you- eventually." Hu Tao ignored the dead looking pretty boy and leaned forward with her arms perched on her waist. The petite and slender girl arched forward, allowing Chongyun to get a clear view of his friend's figure. Despite her annoying and hyperactive demeanour, the young exorcist had to admit that Hu Tao is a pretty and cute girl. Good luck on courting the young lady, however.
"So Mr exorcist, do you plan on investigating that haunted mansion that we talked about?" Haunted mansion? Chongyun's mind went blank for the briefest of moment before he sighed with his hand reaching for his pockets. He fiddled around before pulling out a blue popsicle to cool himself off from the afternoon heat. If he could, Chongyun would definitely plan a nice vacation in Dragonspine, just the mere thought of camping in the snow and bathing in the frigid waters was enough to enticed the young man. A nice change of scenery is enough to break the mundane cycle of a daily routine.
"Hmm not today, I'm busy today." It was hard to take the exorcist's words seriously considering he was enjoying his popsicle at this very moment.
"Oya? You're usually free on Fridays." Chongyun eyed the pyro polearm user coolly with a look of pride and joy plastered on his face.
"Aunt Shenhe recently took me under her wing, so she had begun teaching me the arts of an exorcist." Xingqiu was very curious as to what kind of adepti arts would Shenhe impart to Chongyun. If the young exorcist have even a fraction of Shenhe's strength, his capabilities as an exorcist would surpass his peers and even elders by leaps and bounds. The young man can already conjured spirit blades through his cryokinesis powers, the thought of Chongyun summoning thousands of spirit blades to impale entire demon armies from the heavens above were a plausible if not terrifying thought. The exorcist is absolutely ruthless when it comes to purging evils and those who stood before him, a trait that his aunt shared as well.
"Really? Can we come watch?" Chongyun shook his head defiantly, no one should intrude into the sacred arts of exorcism passed down from his kin.
"Absolutely not! The teachings are sacred, not even my forefathers or ancestors had the privilege to learn the arts of an adepti." Admittedly, part of him didn't want anyone to disturb his aunt as well. She loathed crowds and he knew that she won't be pleased at the sudden invitation of his friends. This isn't a party after all, it's a training regiment that requires his sheer commitment and focus.
"Interesting, I am aware Cloud Retainer imparted her knowledge of the sacred arts to lady Shenhe. You are truly fortunate to have a teacher like her." The bookworm's curiosity in learning martial arts of other clans was something not many people knew, he often incorporate the techniques from other martial arts in his own combat and fighting styles, poetic considering flexibility and adaptability is a key defining trait among hydro users.
"I am and in order to improve myself, I need to further devote myself to honing my martial art capabilities." Hu Tao was mildly amused by how dedicated Chongyun is to his craft. She had always viewed him as rigid and traditional, someone who is conservative in nature. Yet she had nothing but respect to the young man who's heart and values are as pure as snow.
"Aww does that mean we won't get to see you being overdosed with chilies anytime soon?" The pout on her face was only echoed by the disappointed expression on Xingqiu.
"Truly unfortunate isn't it?" The child with an abundance of Yang shot a deadpanned expression to his two friends, these two would seize any oppurtunity they can to see him go berserk and make a fool out of himself. He still has not forgotten that Hu Tao successfully deceived him into eating a Jueyun chili flavoured popsicle that was disguised as the regular blue Qingxin one. Another reason why Chongyun hates artificial food colouring with passion. What's next? Ice cream made with chilies and peppers?
"You two just want me to cause a ruckus and scarred me for life." The idle whistles and the avoidance of eye contact from them seemed to cement Chongyun's statement. Hu Tao giggled at the pouty face on her popsicle lover of a friend before waving her hands in a dismissive manner.
"Hehe, alright, alright. I understand the importance of being a good exorcist is to you, so we would let you off the hook on this one. But you better make it up to us in the future~" Chongyun's lips rested into a smile, for all of her sass and antics, Hu Tao is certainly an understanding when it comes to people's desires and dreams. As a mortician, Hu Tao had seen her fair share of death and grievances. Though she may seem cheery and positive, the exorcist knew that she harbored a more philosophical and contemplative outlook about life.
"I will, I'll even buy you a gift to make up for it." Hu Tao's eyes lit up and nodded vehemently at the exorcist's generosity.
"Ooh bribing me with gifts to get on my good side, I like that!" Chongyun chuckled and felt the heat of the afternoon sun starting to make his body feel uneasy. He glanced at the public sundial and noted that it was time for him make a move to his auntie's training session.
"I have to go, it's already half past noon. I will see you all soon!" Without batting an eye or exchanging more pleasantries, Chongyun made his way towards the stone gates of the city. With no time for sightseeing or admiring the view, he exited the glowing city of Liyue and headed towards the sacred mountains that oversee the valley. He swiftly stumbled upon a large waterfall that forced a detour to Mt Aocang and began to regulate his inhalation. With steady breathing and sacred incantations, he effortlessly freeze the surface of the deep lakes to form an ice bridge and began to skate across them to hasten his path. He carefully avoided the hydro slimes that were minding their own business and began to climb the steep cliff of the mountains with the aid of his rimechaser abilities. Nimbly on his toes and fingers, his grabbed onto the protruding rocks and climbed his way upward, the threat of falling down to his demise didn't seem to be a concern for the young exorcist as he knew he could always unfreeze the ice bridge he made and drop into the waters safely. Well as safe as falling from 50 feet above the waters can be.
Finally, his climb to the top had finally bear fruit as Chongyun plucked a couple of Sunsettia from the nearby Cuihua trees to reward his own efforts. He munched on the sweet tasting fruit and felt its refreshing and crisp taste lingering in his mouth. With Akuoumaru still sheathed inside the scabbard that hung behind his back, the cryo vision holder continued his way towards the the adepti abode. Although the journey itself was short and uninteresting, Chongyun did eventually made his way to his aunt's luxurious and extravagant home. He approached a small cave that acted as a secret backdoor to the abode and configured with the abode's password security systems that was far beyond his mortal comprehension. Cloud Retainer's expertise in technology and construction was truly an impressive feat. After tinkering the stone tablets, Chongyun was finally granted access inside the majestic and gold ornamented doors that revealed itself within the cavern walls.
"Auntie Shenhe! I'm here." His cheerful entrance was shortly met by a defeaning silence. The courtyard of the abode was devoid of people, there was no sign of her anywhere. Surely she knows he is visiting her today right? Normally she would welcome him with a smile and a wave, with a cooled pot of Qinxin tea waiting for him. The young exorcist sighed and shook his head, he sounded like spoiled child here expecting to be served by his own aunt! He can't take advantage of her kindness and take her hospitality for granted. But still, at the very least she would welcome him knowing full well he was visiting her right?
"Auntie?" The eerie silence of the abode were strangely ominous. The usual sound of the streams gushing and the sight of local wildlife was no where to be heard or seen. He slowly walked towards the inner training grounds, the large stone flat surface that stretched far and wide received some form of damage and cracks. The young man knelt down onto the broken and tattered stone tiles, pondering if his aunt was recently training her polearm skills. But before he could stood up and called out his aunt once more, the whistling sound of a high velocity projectiles quickly caught his attention. He swiftly dodged to aside when a frosted spear made of pure cryo essence missed the skin of its teeth as it continued to travel forward. The barrage of icicle spears that followed soon after made Chongyun conjure an ice barrier, though that did little to halt the relentless assault as each spear cracked and lodged into his sturdy shield of ice. He calmed his breathing down and squinted his eyes once a familiar figure emerged from the ice fog of rime that started to engulf the battlefield.
"Not bad, you blocked my attacks." The young nephew noted the pride and surprise in his aunt's voice, was she seriously doing this right now? No warm up or any preemptive warnings at all, she is just going to assault him like this? Even if it means that his aunt could kill him on accident?
Chongyun likes that.
"But now prepare yourself Chongyun, I'm not holding back!" Multiple cryo avatars quickly surrounded him, each brandishing their spears with an intent to intimidate and strike fear into the young exorcist. The sturdy shield of frost he created swiftly soon shattered into an icy explosion when Shenhe formed an exorcist mark on the shield, detonating the entire bulwark in a spectacular fashion.
"Ah!" Chongyun gave a cry of pain when one of the ice shards serrated his forearm, causing it to bleed rapidly as the cut was deep and wide. He gritted his teeth and distanced himself away from his aunt and her avatars, hoping to formulate a strategic plan to fight against the overwhelming odds stacked against him. His eyes glowed blue and multiple spirit blade made of rime began to form above him, rotating in a circular motion to confuse its opponent.
"Spirit Blades attack!" Shenhe leaped backwards with the aid of her Calamity Queller and watched her Cryo avatars being cut down one by one from the onslaught of blades that sliced through them effortlessly. It was certainly a surprising sight to see someone matching her speed and skill at such a young age, though she knew that the fun part of the battle had just begun. Deciding to go on the offensive herself, Shenhe flourished her spear and charged towards her nephew in blinding speed. She utilized one hand to leverage the shaft and thrust the tip of her polearm at her nephew in successive strikes, Chongyun barely had the chance to counterattack or react as each of his spirits blades began to break and falter from Shenhe's attacks.
"Strike me Chongyun, strike me harder!" Unable to handle from the pressure of the assault, Chongyun slammed his foot down to create a shockwave of jagged ice spikes from the stone floors, forcing Shenhe to retreat to a more safer distance. This gave him the oppurtunity to distance himself from Shenhe and allowed him to have much breathing space to decide on his next attack. Knowing full well he can't win on a long drawn out battle, he leaped into the air and began to form 3 sigils with his hands that materialized into 4 giant spirit blades in the air.
"Cloud parting star!" With a shout that reached the pinnacle of the heavens, Chongyun unleashed his signature spell upon the adepti's disciple. He watched in gut-wrenching horror as he slammed the 4 large blades of pure cryo down onto his own aunt, laying destructive waste to the very land below him. The sheer area the spell covers renders her unable to avoid such a viscous and devastating attack, although thankfully the injuries he inflicts on her would not be life-threatening as her highly resistant nature allow her to shrug these attacks off. As each blade were lodged into the solid ground with every chunk of sound, Chongyun managed to slow down his descent with Akuoumaru still held firmly on his right hand. He squinted his eyes as his heart thumped with every concerning thought about his aunt. Surely she can survive this right? His initial worry and fear quickly became one of dread when he felt the cold tip of a spear breathing down on his neck, he sighed and dropped his blade, slowing raising both of his arms in the air to concur his defeat.
"You are wide open when you perform such a devastating attack. Although impressive for intimidating your foes, it leaves you wide open and vulnerable." He could sense the disappointment in her voice, which arguably hurts him more than any injuries she had inflicted on him so far. He turned around and noticed that she was completely unscathed, not a single piece of her clothing show signs of damage or tear, hell her long braided hair was still neat and tidy too.
"I understand." The spirit blades that were lodged into the floor were easily dispelled by Shenhe with a wave of her hands, demonstrating her superior cryo capabilities to the young exorcist. He never stood a chance from the start did he? She could have easily toyed him around by swapping locations with her cryo avatars, striking him from all sides to disorientate and confuse him. He sighed inwardly and clenched his fists, he honestly thought he was stronger than this.
"Still, you showed much promise. I noticed you have changed your battle tactics as of late, you would normally go upfront and personal with your blade yet recently you have relied more on your spirit blades to do your bidding." Personally, Chongyun found his ability to summon ice blades cool and fascinating, the ancient scrolls of the past contained secret techniques of the exorcist arts allow Chongyun to further enhance and control his spirit blades. It was by no means easy, but hardwork and rigorous training paid off.
"I'm still learning to control them, my mantra incantations are slowly improving so I figured I test my capabilities. Though the results are lackluster and disappointing as you can see." Shenhe sighed inwardly, she didn't want her cute nephew to beat himself up like this. She placed a firm hand on his shoulder, staring directly into his bright azure blue eyes that she adored dearly.
"I don't think so, your composure in battle was calm and calculative. You knew you couldn't win me in a close quarter scenario and utilized the distance to your advantage. Besides, I can tell you hold yourself back against me." It was half true, Chongyun could have summoned an additional layer of frost to enhance his spirit blades, yet it would have honestly done little to change the outcome of the battle. While he favours changing the battlefield to his advantage, fighting against another cryo user is an absolute nightmare.
"I didn't want to hurt you auntie." Shenhe shook her head at the softness from her nephew, this young man was too sentimental and chivalrous for his own good. She could understand where he is coming from considering she herself held back against him too, but she was clearly the stronger opponent in this battle, so it was natural for her to hold back.
"This is a spar, if you don't want hurt me, I certainly will hurt you." The cold and blunt tone from her earn a nod from Chongyun. She made a good point, he has to treat this like a real life or death situation. Mercy and compassion doesn't mean much in the heat of battle when your opponents are eager to eliminate you.
"Understood." Shenhe bit her lower lip and took a small deep breath, the atmosphere of the room had gotten more tense and awkward hasn't it? Normally Chongyun would be very enthusiastic and chatty with her, now he seemed quiet and uninterested in striking a conversation with her. Was she too harsh on him? She was certain that Chongyun has gone through far worse training regimens before given his clan's history. She pondered internally before deciding that she should take care of her nephew's wounds first.
"Come, I need to patch that cut up." With a strict authoritative tone, Shenhe led her nephew into the nearby stone marble table and chairs. Various herbs and bottle of medicine were already placed nicely on top of them, the sound of the birds chirping and frogs croaking quickly made Chongyun realized that he was back to the resting gardens of the abode as he followed her wordlessly.
"Sit down." He sat on the stone tables and glanced at his bleeding wound that yet to be coagulated, restorative powers were still far from his expertise. Chongyun had decided that focusing on his offensive capabilities is more befitting for an exorcist, although some self-healing powers won't hurt either. Perhaps he can ask Miss Qiqi about it, she appears to use talismans for her cryo application despite her zombified nature. As he pondered about his powers as a vision holder, he felt a sharp pain from his wound when something stiff and soft grazed against the injury.
"Ah." He winced as Shenhe calmly disinfected his wounds with the help of natural herbs. Miraculously, the wounds coagulated and had stopped the bleeding in a moment of seconds. What sort of sorcery or trickery is this? Not even Mr Baizhu's methods and techniques were this potent or effective. The claymore user was absolutely intrigued by the natural properties of herbs and medicine.
"It would sting, so bear it a little." She dressed the wound with a sterilized bandage, wrapping it up a nicely to match the hand wraps that were around his wrist. Her lips settled into a smile once Chongyun began to move his arm freely and gave a sweet smile of his own. The older lady gave an internal sigh, relieved that her nephew was smiling once again. She won't admit it verbally, but her nephew's precious smile and adorable looks was something she adore wholeheartedly. The boyish looks of innocence and the meek introverted nature was enough to skyrocket her heart beat.
"Auntie are you feeling well?" The normally calmed and stoic Shenhe almost jolted from her seat when Chongyun leaned his face close to her, he pressed the back of his hand against her forehead to check for her temperature, mimicking their very first interaction with one another. Her cheeks flushed lightly with the look of concern plastered on his face, why is he suddenly doing this to her?
"N-Nothing, I'm just a happy that you came today." Her nephew gave a small chuckle and place his uninjured hand on his hip, wondering what compelled her to think that way.
"Well I promised you didn't I?" Shenhe lowered her gaze, a small frown crept onto her face as she vividly remember the horrible memories of her past. Her own father promised her that he would come back for her and yet he deliberately left her alone in the cave, against that damn thing. She shuddered from the traumatic experience,, just the mere thought about it just churned her stomach in the most horrible ways possible. She shouldn't be thinking of depressing things right now, not when Chongyun is now with her. Her face mellowed and softened once her nephew's tender and concern gaze met her opal eyes, making her realize that things are better now.
"You would be surprised to hear that false promises in the world are a common occurrence." The young exorcist was taken aback by the raw emotional tone from his aunt, but he ultimately understood the grief and trauma she has been through would forever haunt her. Empty promises and web of lies is common in this world Teyvat, from lowly treasure hoarders to powerful politicians, Chongyun had seen his fair share of injustice and deceit that were far beyond his control.
Noting the sour expression on his face, Shenhe stood up and stretched her arms, her demeanor shifted to a lighthearted and casual one immediately. This was not the occasion to dwell on sour things, life is too short for that now. She poked her nephew's cheeks and watch his adorable reactions that soothed her heart. There was something infectious seeing someone genuine and sincere trying their best to make you feel loved and appreciated, not through his words but through his actions and presence alone.
"Shall we head to the waters?" Chongyun smiled wryly at the thought of being half naked with his attractive aunt again. Shortly after their shared bathroom experience, skinship in the waters has become a common past time for them. Not necessarily in the name of getting to know each other, but more so that it felt natural and liberating to be able to spend time with someone you trust and you hold dear with no societal or moral barriers. Though it was often the older lady who made such demands, with the younger male nodding in agreement.
"That quickly?" Shenhe crossed her arms beneath her ample breast, indirectly pushing them upwards to allow Chongyun to see how developed and mature his aunt truly is. Lord Morax, his aunt was completely oblivious to how attractive she was. Even in Liyue, Shenhe's beauty captivated the sights of many onlookers. Though many suitors had try their luck with her, the mere icy glare from the adepti disciple was enough to halt their advances and freeze them in their tracks, uh quite literally.
"We can conduct our training there, the frigid temperatures of the waterfalls would rejuvenate your spirits and balance out your excess positive energy. For exorcist like us, it is imperative that we stay tune with ourselves and not lose composure." Mantra and spiritual training is as important as physical ones, exorcists can ill-afford to be easily angered or tempered by malicious spirits. Calm composure and a sound mind renders any deceptive tricks or metaphysical horrors from evil forces effectively null.
The duo soon make their way towards the tranquil waters of the abode, the crisp sound of waterfall gushing to the lake and the vibrant sight of lily pads, frogs and blue butterflies fluttering around made Chongyun giddy like a little child. He threw caution and modesty out of the window and began to stripped his clothes, tossing his white hoodie into the preplaced woven basket near the edge of the adepti-made lake. Clad in just his pants and vision holder tassel, the top naked adolescent entered the cold waters, barely shuddering from the frigid temperatures that were the result of melted ice from the mountain peaks above.
Shenhe placed a hand over her mouth and chuckled at her nephew's adorable antics. Sensing that they were indeed alone with the abode defenses and mechanism all activated to deter nosy adventurers and lowly treasure hoarders from entering the mountains, Shenhe loosened up and began to strip her clothing one by one. Naturally, the sight of his aunt taking off her clothes earned the attention of Chongyun, though he tried his best to avert his gaze on her, with minimal success.
"You're staring too much." The dry delivery from her only added on to his layer of embarrassment, he quickly looked away and sat upon the cool lakes with a flushed expression. Shenhe gave an amused smile and placed her accessories and qipao onto the basket before making her way to the waters. The skintight black suit she wore made it incredibly difficult for Chongyun to stare at her respectfully, the way the fabric cling to her smooth skin and accentuates her sexy figure only made it much harder for him.
"S-Sorry." Shenhe walked towards her nephew and stood next to him, blocking the warm sunlight that shone upon him. The young man slowly stared at his aunt and felt his throat dry from the majestic sight of her staring at him with a small teasing smirk on her face, good god does she know what she is doing to him?
"I often get stares from men whenever I roam around the wild mountains and streets of the city, this is the first time I'm flattered to be in the presence of one." Her tone was both playful and teasing, almost as if she had the faintest idea of what she is doing to him. But Chongyun was more fixated on the fact his aunt called him a man rather than the elephant of the room which was her sudden flirtations behavior towards him.
"I'm a man?" Shenhe chuckled lightly at his confusion and placed her hand on her hip, she gave a curt nod with the faintest of pleasure in her voice.
"Well considering you managed to hold yourself against me and live to tell the tale, you can certainly call yourself one." The fact she said it so casually scared him to no end, though he was certain that auntie Shenhe meant it in jest. Her violent tendencies are often exaggerated by naysayers. The true Shenhe he knew was sweet and doting, at least according to personal experiences.
"Wait so you were actually going all out on me?" She flipped her braided hair over her shoulders and took her place next to her nephew. She placed a hand over his shoulders and felt her black thin skinsuit touching against his soft smooth baby skin.
"Not exactly, but I did exert a significant portion of my power." Chongyun sighed and wrapped his arms around his knees, he watched the blue butterflies fluttering over the colourful array of flowers that resides near the lake banks. He desired to become as strong as his auntie, not necessarily for his own sense of accomplishment and pride, but to protect the innocents from evildoers. An idealistic and noble dream, yet one which he knew it was difficult to achieve given his lackluster improvements.
"I aspire to become like you auntie. You're so strong and composed at all times-"
"You don't want to become like me." The sharp rebuke from her instantly change the mood of the conversation. The young cryo chosen stared at his aunt who nursed her usual stoic and emotionless expression. He regretted his words instantly, did he touched upon a sensitive subject? What's with the sour mood?
"Contrary to your positive energy, my abundance of negative energies bring misfortune to the ones near me. These red ropes are the only reason why my homicidal tendencies and cursed nature are kept at bay." The monotone reply from her made him winced internally, he shouldn't be moping around because of his lackluster powers or his lack of experience. Compared to his aunt who lost everything at such a young age, his worries and insecurities are honestly trivial and even petty.
"Is that why you choose not to socialize with others?" Shenhe sighed and leaned her back against the smooth rock, the sympathetic tone from her nephew was evident to the ear. She hesitated for the briefest of moments and let go of her arm that was wrapped around Chongyun's shoulders, alerting Chongyun that she was starting to distance herself from him.
"I bear the curse of calamity Chongyun, destined to bring pain and sorrow to those who are near and dear to me. If you are wise enough, it's best that you leave right now." Chongyun stared at her, baffled at the sudden request for him to leave. It seemed so sudden and forced from her. How could she say this after weeks of bonding with each other? Did their time spent together mean nothing to her? He didn't gave a damn if his aunt is the bearer of calamity, destined to bring death or misfortune to those close to her. Chongyun had defied fate and destiny before, yet all he wants now is to stay by his lovely aunt's side whom he cared dearly, and no curse or calamitous evils can stop him from doing so. He narrowed his eyes and felt a tightness within his chest as emotions of bitterness, sadness and determination all mixed into one convoluted feeling.
"No." Shenhe gave a sudden yelp when her nephew grabbed her hands and sat before her, his bright blue eyes dilated with determination and sincerity as his chiseled and tone chest dripped with the cold water droplets. Her eyes slowly met back to her nephew, feeling slightly flushed and a little embarrassed over the sudden shift from his usual timid behavior.
"I'm not leaving you auntie." The warm and earnest tone from her nephew made her heart skipped, and yet it was the sincere and stern expression that melted her heart. He pulled her hand towards his cheeks and caressed the back of her hand with his thumbs. It was the sort of physical intimacy and affection Shenhe did not expect from her nephew, though she would be lying if she said she didn't enjoy this aggressive and confident side of him. The young exorcist paused internally after seeing how far he has gone with his actions and began to find the right words to convey to his aunt. His flustered expressions was for Shenhe's to see, but she could tell he was trying his best to comfort her.
"The fundamental concept of Yin and Yang has been taught to all exorcists at a young age. I always thought that my congenital positivity was a curse, as if the heavens and stars are mocking my pride and skills as an exorcist. Despite my persistence, part of me is willing to accept that I would never encounter an evil spirit in my entire life as an exorcist. But right now, I see that perhaps my curse was not used for own self-fulfillment or gratification. It is used to help others and ensure they get to live their life peacefully, undisturbed by the paranormal or the wicked. Auntie Shenhe, I believe that I too can help you with your curse." It seems that the young exorcist had come to terms with his apparent curse, and while it was a bitter herb to swallow, he did understand that he was serving a purpose that is greater than his own dreams and desires. After all, a life of altruism is a life of purpose.
"What are you suggesting Chongyun?" His aunt's tone was soft and cautious, there was a sense of disbelief and uneasiness from her that stem from her cynical and aloof nature. The claymore user smiled and grasped her hand tightly on his lap, it was perhaps the most serious expression Shenhe has ever seen in her nephew. Not even the near death sparring experience earned such a reaction from him.
"Let me stay by your side auntie, together our congenial Yin and Yang would balance each other out. You don't have to bear the curse of calamity alone, I can be here with you every step of the way. Please let me stay with you." She bit her lower lip as her heart beat thumped faster, why? Why is he willing so such lengths for her? The time they knew each other was limited. What Chongyun was suggesting is a lifetime commitment from him, borderline a proposal if you were to view it that way.
"Chongyun, why? Why would you go so far for me? We barely know each other." The entirely predictable question caught him off guard, he sat upright and gaze at her soft hands that rested on his lap. The croaking from the frogs and the sound of the waterfall gushing provided him a moment of respite to think about her words, why was he willing to go so far for her anyway? Was his words and promises the result of a sudden impulse? A heat of a moment decision? Or was there something deeper to it?
"You saved my life auntie." Shenhe expected that much of a reply from him, but she didn't buy that excuse one bit.
"So it's repaying back a debt?" He sighed and broke off their hand-holding session. The way she put it make him sound so shallow. Sure, deep down he felt immense gratitude to his awesome aunt who saved his life, but now it was more than that, much more. There was the familial connection, that much was given. But there was also the similarities and interest they both share, the little things they complained and bemoaned about, the various cold dishes that they enjoyed dearly. There were so many things about his aunt that just click with him, a sense of comfort and belonging that just made him feel happy.
"I just don't want you to suffer anymore auntie. Growing up with my condition and position, I have devoted entire my time and effort to hone my exorcist skills, naturally I'm have few friends and even fewer confidants. But right now having a group of close friends in Liyue, their antics and companionship had allowed me to persevere through during tough times and strengthened my resolve to fight for others. I wish to provide you the same feeling they gave to me. I don't want you to be alone auntie, the past few weeks have been one of the most peaceful and happiest days of my life, and I know you felt the same too." Shenhe couldn't quite describe the feeling swelling within her beating heart, the fluttering butterflies, the overwhelming feeling of joy and comfort, all mushed up into a sense of gratitude and relief to her precious nephew. She stared into his azure blue eyes that shone true and just, before regaining her composure.
"I always attributed you to be an honest and chivalrous person, relatively straightforward and old fashioned to some aspects. Yet you seemed to be more complex than what people would give you credit for." Chongyun's lips curled upwards, did his incredibly young and attractive aunt just called him old fashioned? The irony is rich in this one.
"That's what Hu Tao called me as well." The adepti disciple promptly ignored the pouty voice from her nephew and ran her hand through his hair, feeling the soft blue hairs tickling her palm and fingers.
"She's not wrong, but mortals are always searching for the unique and exotic. They fail to grasp that the most humble and honest of individuals wields the greatest strengths and wills."
"T-Thank you for the compliment." Shenhe broke into a loose chuckle after her somewhat serious and monotone speech. Her nephew was never for one to take praises was he? The young exorcist smiled back at her as she reached for his two hands, holding them together on top of the freezing waters. Personally for Shenhe, she felt like she has seen a whole new side of her reserved nephew. It was a sign that he trusted her, enough to devote and dedicate his life to help her even. In a sense, it was the closest thing to a marriage proposal.
"Chongyun, I accept your offer of staying by my side." Her nephew's bright azure eyes lit up in response, seemingly overjoyed at the prospects of being with her. His body arched forward, with the cold waters swishing around him in response.
"Really?" She nodded to him in earnest, squeezing his hands lightly.
"Master had always told me that one day I would find someone to hold dear to my heart. I had never questioned her wisdom but even I have my doubts when I first heard it. Now, I'm beginning to understand by what she meant." The frozen ardor was indeed flattered by his aunt's words. Perhaps only now had his aunt found someone she can trust wholeheartedly, someone to confide in, where the facade of stoicism and unapproachability would no longer be needed. The exorcist smiled lightly when his aunt leaned onto his arm, placing her head on his shoulders to support her weight.
"You're staying over tonight right?" The soft whispers from her tickled his earlobes, but Chongyun had long grown accustom to the level of intimacy she was showing. In some ways, he considered himself honored and fortunate to be able to draw such reactions from her. A sense of power and authority that just made him feel masculine if he had to be honest.
"Yes." It wasn't even a question to Chongyun, the abode was his house as much as it was his aunt's.
"Good, I will make dinner then, would you assist me?" Shenhe chuckled when her nephew perked up and beamed a smile, his enthusiasm and passion for her cooking was something she gushed over.
"Of course!"
Shadowy tendrils wrapped around an unconscious Chongyun. Battered, wounded and utterly defeated, the gallant exorcist of Liyue was no match for the eldritch monstrosity. The malicious being tightened its grip around his limbs, cackling in great delight over Shenhe's absolute state of helplessness. The adepti disciple watched in horror as her nephew was slowly consumed by the dark spirit that assumed her physical form just to spite her even more. A mirror image of herself started to stroke Chongyun's cheek in an almost delicate manner before a black spear materialized in the air, aimed directly above Chongyun's heart. Formed by the blackest of mist and the heinous of intentions, Shenhe felt her pounding heart stopped as she remained paralyzed, unable to move or command her body to take the simplest form of action. She struggled to break free from her state of shock, her voice wanting to plead the calamitous creature to spare her nephew's life and to take hers instead. But alas no voice came out from her, no matter how loud or frantic her desperate pleads were. She was simply there to watch, with her actions and existence being entirely meaningless. The callous creature chuckled at Shenhe's futile resistance and simply snapped her fingers, with the cursed spear penetrating through Chongyun's heart. The mocking laughs of the blood-red eyed demon only echoed across the cavern walls, with the lifeless blue eyes of her nephew meeting her own rapidly dilating irises as his body collapsed on the floor, with the pool of crimson red tainting his pure white clothes. The lifeless eyes that left her nephew just stared back at Shenhe, as the demon began to make its way towards her with a wicked smile still plastered on her face-
"No!" The piercing scream of terror from his aunt's room woke Chongyun's sleep abruptly. Dazed and slightly annoyed by the sudden rude awakening, those sentiments quickly became one of dread and worry for Chongyun as he recognized the shrieking voice. Without a moment to waste, he grabbed his embroidered white hoodie for modesty's sake and dashed towards the direction of his aunt's room. The frantic breathing from his aunt was even audible through the abode walls and Chongyun did not hesitate to launch a roundhouse kick to his auntie's door once he stood before her room.
"Auntie Shenhe! Are you alright? I heard-" The sudden tight embrace from his aunt silenced all forms of questions and franticness, he could feel her body trembling and shaking wildly, causing his nephewly instincts to go overdrive instantly. He swiftly wrapped his arms around his aunt, stroking her long silvery white hair to calm her down as his excessive Yang energy beginning to engulf the entire room to detect any evil presence.
"You're safe, you're safe." Her distraught voice quivered to his ears. Chongyun has never seen her like this, his normally cool and stoic aunt was now in absolute shambles and the sight was nothing short of heartbreaking. He squeezed her tighter, placing his chin on top of her shoulders as his azure blue eyes glowed within the veil of darkness. He patiently waited for his aunt to regain back her composure, there were no sniffles or tears from her, but it was certainly disheartening for him to see her like this. As more time passed, Chongyun began to relax her grip around Shenhe and led her to the bed. His initial caution of a potential intruder was swiftly dismissed as Chongyun could not detect any evil spirit within the vicinity, not to mention the abode's defenses and mechanisms were still in full function. So the most logical conclusion the young exorcist could think of was that his aunt suffered a horrendous nightmare.
"Did you have a nightmare auntie?" Shenhe managed to breath out a small sigh and assume a more stoic expression, though part of her already realized that her nephew has seen how scared and pathetic she looked. Part pride and part embarrassment, Shenhe felt a little pampered in this situation where her much younger relative is actively looking after her.
"Yes, they are unfortunately a common occurrence." Chongyun nodded and crossed his arms, his white hoodie was unzipped with his disheveled hair being the result of turning and twisting in his sleep. He eyed her figure and noticed she just wore a black nightrobe with her cleavage being visible to the eye. As alluring as his auntie looked, Chongyun's mind was more preoccupied by her wellbeing more than anything.
"I see, did it concern me?" Unsurprisingly, she nodded in response. Her opal eyes met his sapphire ones and for a moment, just the briefest of moments, he saw the childlike innocence behind her tired eyes. She sat closer to him and lowered her voice to the slightest of whispers.
"I envisioned you dying in my arms, the malevolent and vicious spirt that live within me began to cackle with laughter. Mocking me for my inability to save you." Chongyun was admittedly surprised that he was reason she was in so much distraught. In some ways, he could understand how important he was to her and naturally, that works both ways. He gave off a sigh and placed his arm around her slender waist, pulling his aunt closer in a rare dominant and masculine move. The thought of dying to whatever creature that cursed his aunt was scary, but Chongyun had seen worse, hell he had fought worse. Ever fought a cryo abyss mage?
"Shenhe, I'm not going anywhere." The sincere and determined tone from her nephew sent a flutter to her heart. The soft blue eyes and comforting smile soothed much of her anxiety and worries. Seeing that she has come to terms with his words, Chongyun's fingers felt the soft warm waist of his aunt through the thin fabric of her nightwear. Primal instincts flared up within Chongyun as he felt something awakening within him at the sight of his defenseless looking aunt. He scowled inwardly at his own thoughts, swatting those crude thoughts away as he noticed something peculiar about his aunt's current attire, or the lack thereof.
"The red ropes, you should be wearing them right?" The red tassels were bind and created by the adepti to suppress Shenhe's homicidal tendencies. Naturally, her excessive Yin spirit was subdued as a result, which protects her from unwanted nightmares and misfortunes to those around her. It was these red tassels that also sealed her tremendous powers as well, powers that frankly left even the wisest of Adepti disturbed.
"Are you afraid of me without them?" His aunt spoke with the slightest of worry in her voice, it was subtle but Chongyun easily picked it up. Was he afraid that his aunt could beat his ass up? Of course. But was he afraid of the calamity bringer that lives within her? Absolutely not. If he could settle the score with the darkness that resides within her, he would. Whether he could come out unscathed though, was a different story.
"No." Shenhe merely smiled at his quick response. She glanced at her empty white bed and felt the dreaded thought of succumbing to another nightmare. While she could wear the red ropes in her sleep, part of Shenhe wished she could grow stronger without them. They may have suppressed her homicidal nature, but it also had the unfortunate side effect of robbing her emotions away as well. Weeks ago, this wouldn't have bothered Shenhe but with Chongyun making the solemn promise to be by her side, things are different now, much different.
"Chongyun, I have a request." The popsicle lover blinked and smiled at her. Whatever request she has, he was ready to deliver. He didn't want to see her like this and he would do whatever he can for her. Call it naivety, but Chongyun believes he has what it takes to help his aunt.
"What is it auntie?" He spoke gently, wondering what sort of request she had in store for him. He watched her grasp his hands, holding them on top of her exposed lap as she nursed a serious expression.
"Stay with me tonight." Chongyun barely registered the words from Shenhe before all sense of logical thinking or intellectual response seize to exist.
"H-Huh?" Shenhe's lips curled upwards at her nephew's flustered expression. Her right hand made their way to the bed covers and pull them towards her body. The fluffy blanket made with high quality silk flowers personally tailored to Shenhe's liking was the courtesy of Cloud Retainer and her love for extravagance and luxury.
"Your presence should help ward off the evil spirit that resides within me. I feel calm and at peace when I'm near you." Chongyun wasn't thoroughly convinced with the reasoning, but he knew that external factors were behind his aunt's desire for him to stay with her. If he had to be honest, he would have offered to stay by her side as well had he not been so meek and shy. He felt conflicted at his current predicament, he has no qualms or objections stay with his aunt, far from it. But he knew that they were in morally questionable territory, and with his less than savory thoughts about her, Chongyun was scared that things might escalate further. Yet the soft smile and innocent expression on his aunt was enough to cast those thoughts aside.
She needed him, that much is certain.
"If it helps you then I would stay." Shenhe beamed at her nephew's answer and took the chance to slide into her covers. She draped the covers over the lower half of her body and patted the empty spot next to her that clearly had enough room for him. The young exorcist felt his heart pounding rapidly in this risqué and awkward situation he found himself in. The captivating sight of his aunt in her borderline see through nightgown that revealed her large breast was hard enough as it is, but the fact she laid down next to him with an adoring smile on her face that beckoned him to sleep next to her was enough to seal the deal for Chongyun. He steeled his courage and stripped his white hoodie to place it on the nearby mahogany table. The darkness of the night did little to affect his sight due to his vision capabilities, though it was oblivious to anyone that the cryo adept was getting a little cold feet over his current predicament.
But finally, after much delaying and procrastinating, Chongyun slipped into the warm covers of the blanket. He settled in nicely and snuggled against the soft fabric, making him feel nice and relax under the cold rainy weather. Normally Chongyun would have prefer to enter the bed with no covers at all, but he was willing to make an exception for his aunt and besides, he does enjoy the occasional warm covers of his blanket during cold nights.
"Thank you Chongyun." The young scion froze up momentarily when he felt his aunt move closer to him, with her soft velvety tone melting his ears. Their shoulders grazed against each other, allowing them to feel the body warmth of the other. Chongyun slowly turned sideways to face his aunt and let out a nervous smile once he realized how close she was to him. They were within kissing distance, close enough for Shenhe to listen her nephew's rapidly thumping heart.
"Y-You're welcome auntie." Shenhe loosened a chuckle and placed a hand on top of her nephew's chest. The movement was slow and nothing short of sensual as it rubbed against his abdomen and tensed muscles. The smooth and soft skin of her divine hands were simply erotic to the young adolescent, but he maintained a steady composure with his eyes fixated on Shenhe's opal eyes. In essence, this would be the first time he slept with anyone.
"You sound so nervous." Chongyun wondered if his aunt had the faintest idea that she was responsible for his skyrocketing anxiety. The way she rubbed his body seemed to indicate that was the case, but the innocent looking smile from his aunt that was nothing short of curious and pure told a different story. He had to constantly remind himself that his aunt was considered naive and innocent despite her mature outlook.
"I-I can't help it auntie, this is the first time I have ever been in this situation." Shenhe raised her eyebrows, was this a first time experience for his well-traveled nephew as well? She was certain that a handsome and dashing young man like him would have experience with girls of his age, though a part of her did celebrate that her nephew was a virgin by all accounts.
"You never slept with a girl before?" The direct question from his aunt made Chongyun livid, was she judging him? As an exorcist Chongyun rarely had the time to be in relationships with others and being the introverted and distant individual he is, it was rather hard to form connections with people out of his social circle. Of course, he would personally love to meet a girl he could bond with and share their dreams together, though that was wishful thinking on his part. His line of work requires dedication and commitment.
"No! I mean am I suppose to?" Shenhe paused and chose her next words carefully, she herself wasn't sure if intercourse at a young age was supposed to be normal. She grew up under Cloud Retainer's wing, naturally that meant she rarely interacts or socialize with her own kind. The topic of womanhood and sex had long evaded Shenhe, so she could only imagine what its like.
"In time, but boys take pride at having intercourse girls at a young age correct?" The frost blade wielder only nodded to his aunt's blunt and straightforward question. He personally never met anyone who boasted their sexual experience with the opposite sex, though Miss Ying'er and her questionable perfume making method does come to mind. The older lady was certainly attractive if not highly dangerous to young adolescents like him.
"I-I think so." Shenhe loosened a rare giggle at her nephew's flustered expression and rose red cheeks. She fluffed his hair softly with her palms and interlocked their fingers together on the center of the bed.
"You're adorable. It's hard to believe such a sweet and innocent child like you is capable of warding off evil spirts and demons." The deadpanned expression on the exorcist face earned further chuckles from Shenhe. The expressive emotions from his aunt was something Chongyun secretly kept note of and he was quite proud at what he had accomplished. She was more comfortable with her emotions now, and he for one was glad she didn't need to keep up the facade of stoicism anymore. The little reactions and change in facial expression from his aunt was truly adorable.
"You're just mocking me at this point auntie." The pouty voice from her nephew drew smiles from Shenhe. She poked his nose and nestled her head closer to her nephew. Such proximity made her keenly aware of her nephew's Qingxin flower scent and his body warmth that made her feel drowsy and comfortable. It was intoxicating to have a familiar presence by your side, if Shenhe was a tad bit braver she would had enveloped her nephew into a nice snugly hug but for now, this was enough for her.
"Chongyun, you're the first person to ever reach out to me like this. This feeling- no one else have this effect on me." The young exorcist noted the soft murmurs from his aunt and shuffled around his covers. Though his aunt sounded tired and drowsy, Chongyun was still wide awake and alert. His anxiety from sleeping next to his aunt was making it difficult for him to sleep soundly and who can blame him? His aunt was providing him visual stimulation with how loose and revealing her nightgown is. The black lacy negligee contrasted well with her fair skin and snow white hair, and yet it was her smooth velvety voice that had him hooked and charmed. But the frost blade wielder steeled his resolve and focused his attention to what she was saying, just to keep his mind off the gutter and her lovely scent.
"Effect?" Chongyun was quite curious as to what kind of effect he had on his aunt because he was keenly aware the effect Shenhe had on him and his adolescent body. He watched his aunt nod to his words and whispered her words softly, barely audible but not enough to make him squint his ears.
"Mhmm, you're presence is soft and warm. I feel safe and calm when I'm with you." Of all the compliments he received, this was the one that made Chongyun smile like a fool. Sure, he received praises from clients and the people of Liyue before, countless times in fact. But his aunt has always been sincere and genuine with her words, so the protector side of him was happy that his aunt felt comfortable and safe in his presence.
"You too auntie, you're presence is comforting." Admittedly, Chongyun had never felt more loved or pampered by others before. Shenhe overdoting and maternal nature seemed to fill the void of a strict and rigid upbringing by his clan. He felt an affinity with his aunt, a form of trust that could withstand the test of time. If he had to be honest, Shenhe understood his struggles more than anyone. Yes, even more than that flamboyant bookworm whom people thought they have a thing going on.
"Really?" The astonished tone from her was undeniable adorable, enough to make this nephew of hers to chuckle in delight.
"Yes, I feel at ease when I'm with you." On instinct, Chongyun reached out to his aunt's arm and rubbed them gently with his thumb. Such bold action drew a small surprised smile from Shenhe, yet she did little to stop him. Of course, Chongyun was quick to notice his intimacy with his aunt and retracted his hand. In all honesty, Shenhe was wondering what is holding Chongyun back from his affections.
"S-Sorry! I didn't mean to-" He was swiftly silenced by the finger that tapped against his lips, he felt his face flushed with the adoring smile from his aunt and the soft glow of moonlight that bathed over snow white hair. Her bright opal eyes stood out amidst the veil of midnight and if he had the capacity or vocabulary to describe his radiant aunt even more, he would. But right now Chongyun was too star-strucked and dazzled to even think properly.
In other words, Chongyun was too horny to think clearly.
"It's alright, your touch is warm and soothing." Her finger snaked their way down to his chin, then slowly trailing down to his toned chest and abdomen. The young man buckled under her cold fingertips that sent a pleasurable shiver down his spine. Her lips curled upwards at his reaction, clearly enjoying the little show he was putting up for her. Finally and perhaps predictably, her index finger slipped underneath his white hoodie, touching upon the smooth bare skin that reacted in delight.
"Auntie." He let out an aroused pant, clearly not used to these vicious assaults that left him paralyzed and excited. Shenhe's gentle smile soon become one of devilish delight, she leaned forward which gave Chongyun a great view of her bosom before giving him a sweet kiss on his hair. It was evident at this point that his aunt had no qualms of being intimate with him, now it was up to Chongyun to decide whether should he do the same.
"Shh, looks like someone is excited." He gulped at his erection that pitched through his pants, yearning for both freedom and a vigorous rubbing. His stiff mast was dangerously closed to his aunt's thighs, the slightest movement from her would mean a total disaster for the young exorcist. She was obviously toying with him, not in a spiteful or vile manner, but in a teasing and endearing manner that had him enthralled. This was a game, and Chongyun was the player. So it was up to him to decide what action to take.
"Huh? No! I-I will leave right away-" Unfortunately, the young man chose to run away form his problems. A disappointing decision that was met with an equally displeased reception. With a sigh, Shenhe retracted her finger that was dangerously close to her nephew's nether regions and hold his arm firmly, preventing him from escaping her sight or clutches. He was timid, afraid and anxious, but not in the way she quite expected.
"Auntie?" Shenhe smiled and pulled him into a long awaited hug, snuggling and shuffling closer to him as she inhaled the fresh scent of Qingxin flowers that permeated the room. It took a while for him to accept her embrace, but once he relaxed and accepted his fate as her body pillow for the night, she stare firmly into his azure eyes that were filled with guilt-ridden irises. Had Shenhe really been against their unnatural relation in the first place, she wouldn't have swallowed her pride and pleaded for him to stay with her. Hell, she won't had instigated everything.
"If I was uncomfortable and disgusted with it I would have voiced it out. So relax, this is just a natural body response." Chongyun steeled his courage and felt it faltering, what his aunt was suggesting goes against his moralistic upbringing. It was a bitter herb to swallow, but Chongyun enjoyed the little tease his aunt was giving him. Such sexual indulgence or degeneracy as his elders like to call it, was heavily forbidden and frowned upon by his clan. It was this strict martial cadence upbringing that him so much conflict.
And yet here he is, eagerly awaiting for his aunt's next move.
"But you are my aunt, it's not normal." The low whispers of sadness from him pierced Shenhe's heart, she knew this conversation would come eventually, the two of them had always avoided from approaching this topic. But deep down she knew it was time for them to confront their relationship together and regardless of what tonight may bring, she wish Chongyun would open up his feelings to her honestly. They had danced around the nature of their relationship long enough.
"I couldn't care less about our related blood ties, at least when it comes to intimacy." Chongyun sighed at the firm and determine tone from his aunt that he become accustomed too. He leaned forward into her succulent breast and hugged her waist tenderly, hiding away from his shame like a little child.
"This is wrong auntie." Of course she knew that, but she had already came to terms with it. Morality and societal taboos meant little to Shenhe given her aloof and isolated upbringing. The need to fit in and integrate with society was nothing to her, all she cared about was to live her life the way she always wanted. A life of peace and freedom is something all living things desire no?
"What about your own personal feelings? Do you accept this form of intimacy between us?" He remained silent for the briefest of moments, but Shenhe was already dreading the answer from him. The mere pause between the two was evident as their rhythmic breathing filled the air of the room. But finally, Chongyun's internal moral dilemma was swiftly silenced by his true feelings towards Shenhe, morality and societal taboos be damned. Shenhe's happiness was now at stake, and who was he to deny his own love and infatuation for her? He held his head up high and stare tenderly into his aunt's eyes and gave a affirmative nod, finally giving Shenhe the confirmation and answer she sorely wanted from her shy and introverted nephew.
"Of course I do." Her heart skipped a beat upon hearing those words, she did not expect such a direct response from him. She fully expected him to dodge or dance around the question, but here he was, giving her the warm smile and the adorable flushed cheeks. With her nephew coming to terms with his feelings, Shenhe leaned forward his earlobes and whispered in a sultry and breathy voice.
"Then I do not see an issue." Any more stimulation and Chongyun was certain his libido and Yang overdose would collide into a disastrous storm. He managed a meek nod and pry himself away from his aunt, eagerly awaiting for his auntie's next move. He felt his leggings slowly coming off as her fingers dance on his thigh, she slowly pulled off his article of clothing, completely aware of the large erection that was standing between his aunt and him.
"I-" His protest and embarrassment was swiftly silent by a finger on his lips, Shenhe grinned at his flustered expression and nuzzled against his cheeks with her own, her long flowy white hair brushed against his cheek in the process.
"Relax, it's alright Chongyun." The cryo user froze when he stripped down to his undergarments, the remnants of his dignity laid bare for his aunt to see. He bashfully averted eye contact with his aunt as her unbutton negligee barely held her large mounds together. He could feel her firm grip on his thighs, her fingers sunk into legs, holding him on and never letting go.
"A-Are you sure? I could go to the bathroom-" Oh no, Shenhe was not letting her dear nephew go so easily. She would prove her dedication and love for him right here and now, she stripped his last article of clothing, snaking her fingers on his undergarments and slowly and sensually pulling it down. The young teenager covered his face with his hands, if you were to look any closer in the veil of the night you would have noticed steam emanating from blushing red face.
"Shh, just relax. Let me handle this okay? Intimacy between two individuals enhances their relationship together, particularly ours." With his mast free and pulsating, he uncovered his hands and noticed how dangerously close his aunt's hands were to his erection. He let out a hiss and a pant when Shenhe's finger brushed against his balls, her cold finger tips sent shockwaves of pleasure down his spine. By the gods, his aunt is not going to do what he think she would right?"
"But a-auntie, we're related-" Stating the obvious like a complete idiot, Chongyun wondered if he potentially ruin the mood between them. But his aunt gave him a serious and deadpanned look before sighing, she leaned forward and flicked his forehead gently with her finger.
"I'm aware of that and frankly, I don't care." Was he willing to cross the line? To break all forms social and moral barriers set up by society? Incest is not only strictly frowned upon but biologically it leads to defects and mental scars. To instigate a relationship with his aunt just because they felt an affinity with one another is foolish and nothing short of disgusting. What if words of their abnormal relationship goes out? His pride and reputation as an exorcist would be tarnished and in tatters, with his own martial clan and kin banishing him immediately. Chongyun ponder over his situation, he silently stared into Shenhe's oval eyes that were dripping with lust and desire. Her voluptuous and curvaceous body begged his fingers to run through them, with the loving gaze that had him enthralled. Aunt or not, Chongyun was undeniable in love with her...
Ah to hell with it.
"I'm relatively inexperience when it comes to this." Shenhe stiffened a moan when Chongyun leaned forward and gave a husky whisper that showed his more masculine and dominant side. Before she could even express her happiness and joy, he captured her lips with his own, with his hands running through her soft locks. Clear holding back from a very long time, the hot and heavy carnivorous kiss caught Shenhe off guard, but she reciprocated his affection by protruding her tongue into his mouth, tasting the wet saliva in her nephew's mouth. The normally stoic and cool Shenhe gave out a moan when she felt her nephew's hand rubbed her waist, with his throbbing hot member grazing upon her thigh like a piston. The fervor between their kiss was soon broken off for much needed air, with Shenhe parting the kiss from her nephew. The strings of saliva that connected their lips and the hot red blush on Chongyun's cheeks made her arousal skyrocket from the sheer sensation, she placed her finger to wiped the remnants of saliva that dripped from her mouth, covering her finger with her nephew's saliva that glazed in the soft moonlight. With the heat of the moment between them slowly cooled off, the gravity of the situation became apparent to them. Chongyun flashed an embarrassed smile but he looked pleased at the sexy reaction he garner from his aunt.
"I'm not too knowledgeable about this Shenhe, so let's takes things at our own pace. Is that o-okay?" Shenhe smiled at how nervous her nephew sound, funny that this was the same young man who gave her the most passionate kiss she could ever dreamed off. She merely nodded at Chongyun's request, both of them should take their time with pleasuring each other, getting to know one another in an intimate manner. She felt self-conscious with how much Chongyun was gazing on her body, undressing her down with ravenous eyes.
"You're beautiful auntie." Chongyun spoke with no barriers, admiring the beautiful formed body of his aunt in all of her glory. His fingers slowly crawled onto her nightgown, unhooking the straps with one fluid motion, revealing her nude body to him. Shenhe bit her lower lip at how attentive Chongyun was to her body, his large cock was still begging to be touched by her. But she would save that for later, right now she wants him to focus all of his attention to her.
"Flattered but I shouldn't be the only one nude." The heavy breathing from his aunt had him enthralled, he swiftly stripped the last article of his clothing and threw it into a nearby basket. Bare and vulnerable, Chongyun felt the heat of his face running the course to his body. His aunt place a finger on her lips, the devilish smile on her face was nothing short of sexy and hot. His hands slowly reached for her two large mounds, although hesitant at first, the nod of confirmation from his was all he needed to continue. He began to cup them softly in his hands as his fingers ran over her areola, the firm sensation of his finger sinking into her lithe breast were fantastic.
"Ah~" The blissful moans from his aunt was a good motivator to push him forward, he gave a little animalistic growl over her feminine reaction from his strong and aloof aunt before leaning towards her ears, panting his raspy and ragged breath against her ears.
"I'm ashamed to admit this, but whenever I see you in just your tight bodysuit. Primal and sexual urges fill my thoughts." Shenhe held back a moan when Chongyun pinched her nipples roughly, dear Morax he seemed to know her sensitive weakspot with every twist and assault. She embraced her nephew tightly to her body, feeling his ranging hardon pushing against her labia. The heat from the pulsating cock was enough to make Shenhe's nether region to react appropriately, with liquid slowly secreting from sheer sexual frustration.
"Oh~ I'm quite eager to know what kind of thoughts you have. Care to tell?" The sultry voice from his aunt almost drove him insane, to think such a cool beauty like her was letting him to have his way with her. He pulled back to meet his auntie's eyes, the urge to capture her lips and thrust his cock inside of her was so tempting, but if there is anything you need to know about Chongyun is that he shows incredible self-restraint and patience even at times of duress.
"U-Uhm, you were rubbing yourself against me and holding me penis." His loving aunt grinned and trailed her hands against his meatstick, feeling the girthy length pulsating with her every frosty touch. Her nephew's sword was lovely, it was throbbing so much with the hair sprouting from his adolescent dick.
"Like this?" Chongyun let out a groan, gods this sensation was too much! His aunt was finally giving his manhood much needed attention. Shenhe grinned when Chongyun nodded vigorously, a testament to how much he enjoyed this. Perhaps the exorcist isnt as innocent and pure as she thought he is.
"Y-Yes!" The whimpering moans from her nephew triggered her predator instincts. She wrapped her fingers around his throbbing member, gently and teasingly giving him a handjob. It was undoubtedly clumsy from Shenhe since she had to hold back her strength to not hurt her dear nephew, but once she had the rhythm and pacing down, Chongyun stood no match against his auntie soft and firm hands.
"You're very naughty, fantasizing your aunt like this." The soft whisper and nibble to his earlobe almost made him ejaculate right there, the assault on the senses was too much for Chongyun given he was a virgin. But the cryo user's endurance and stamina was beyond mortal comprehension and so he was not so easily defeated.
"A-Auntie you're- oh god!" The euphoric look on his face and the cute disheveled hair, all of it gave Shenhe the courage to take the lead. She continue to massage his cock with her hand, and place her other hand behind his back, gently laying him on her bed as she hastened her handjob, gyrating the sensitive tip with her palm. The pre-cum that leaked from her cock was sticky and hot, but that only turned Shenhe on even further.
"Lie down Chongyun, let your aunt take care of everything." Gods, he was had forgotten that Shenhe was his aunt! Bloodlines be damned, this woman has been everything good to him! The young exorcist laid comfortably on the pillow, wondering what his aunt have next in store for him. His prayers was answered when a faint translucent glow engulf his aunt and soon after, an exact copy of her avatar floated next to her.
"I-Is that your cryo avatar?" The avatar playfully did a twirl in the air and nodded, it placed both of its hands on his testicles cupping them gently, putting them to work immediately. The young man led out a groan over the cooling sensation on his balls, the frosty touch and the fact he could see through her hands, this sensation was fucking incredible! Seeing her nephew mewing under the mercy of her avatar, Shenhe smirked and repositioned her head around his nether region, she didn't want to be outdone by a mere illusion of herself.
"Foreplay such as this is common prior to sexual intercourse, it helps stimulate both partners and creates a more intimate mood, I-I read that in a book, for research purposes." The apparent blush on her cheeks and the little stutters sent Chongyun's heart soar to unbelievable levels, how can this sexy vixen of a woman can be so damn cute at the same time!? He only gave a meek nod to his aunt as his hands naturally found themselves on Shenhe's long snowy white hair, stroking it softly since he wanted to touch her as much as possible. With her nephew in a comfortable position, she glanced at the cryo avatar who was awaiting for her orders. She felt her face flushed at the manly sight of a girthy dick throbbing in pain right in front of her, a penis that belongs to her adorable and introverted nephew.
'Yang energy also promotes masculinity among males, I wonder if his semen would contain his essence.' She took a deep breath to bolster her confidence before leaning her mouth forward, planting small kiss around the base of her nephew's raging cock. The instantaneous reaction of twitching and intense throbbing had Shenhe and her cryo avatar intrigued and excited, this would definitely be fun.
"Aunt Shenhe!" He chattered his teeth to suppress the otherworldly sensations vibrating through his body. The chill down his spine and the sensitive twitch from his cock that begged stimulation was making Chongyun losing all sense of control. He continue to let out groans and moans of delight as his aunt and her cryo avatar pleasured his cock. Their tongues ran across the base before lickup to to the shaft, with the cryo avatar's frosty mouth engulfing his balls, earning a loud screech from Chongyun over the vivid sensation of icy delight.
'S-She's giving me a fellatio! My aunt is- oh god.' He couldn't even think properly, his hands were tightly clenched on the bedsheet he was laying on, holding on to dear life as his aunt placed a loose strand of hair behind her ear with her opal eyes staring directly at Chongyun's sapphire ones. She kept eye contact with him as she finally shove her nephew's cock in her mouth, the wet and sloppy warm sensation of his auntie's mouth was simply divine. She bobbed her head up and down, teasing her adorable nephew by running her tongue on the sensitive tip of his cock. It was clumsy and amateur to the experienced but Chongyun didn't give a flying fuck at that. All he knew was his sexy aunt was sucking his cock as if her life depends on it.
She continue sucking her nephew, her lips capturing the thick dick in her mouth perfectly. Her pure innocence was instantly shattered at the revelation that she enjoyed the taste of her nephew's shaft in her mouth, her dripping labia leaked and stained the white bedsheet Cloud Retainer tailored for her. The naughty thoughts of getting caught by her parental mother figure only excited Shenhe more, causing itching pussy to beg for attention and stimulation.
"Ah auntie!" He was close, he was really close. The tension was building on his lower body, he desperately want to let out all of his semen and flood Shenhe's mouth with it. He placed his two hands on his aunt's head, hoping to push her and the cryo avatar off before he unload all of his cum onto them. But alas Shenhe didn't budge, in fact she double down her rhythm by deep throating the entire mast in her mouth, her gagged reaction and noise sent Chongyun's libido flying and it wasn't long before he released all of his semen out in one fiery burst.
"AUNTIE!" He jerked upwards and let out a howl, unloading all of his charged essence inside his aunt. His arms instinctively wrapped around his aunt's head, shoving it closer to his cock as he thrusted his hips forward. The gagged reflex from his aunt came quick as she widened her eyes over the sudden influx of semen flooding her mouth, her eyes went teary from the natural reaction of the gagged reflex as she inhaled the musky scent of her nephew's semen. Each wave of semen began to overwhelm her mouth, hitting the back of her throat in its entirety.
'The taste, it's so warm and divine.' Her mind went blank at the sensation of the large amount of cum in her mouth, never had she experienced anything like this before. She felt her nephew's excessive breathing and panting gradually subsiding, his overindulgence of Yang started to flare up momentarily, which was probably the reason why he managed to release so much cum inside her mouth. As Chongyun returned to his sense, the realization of what he did to his aunt hit him instantaneously.
"I'm so sorry! Please spit that out auntie!" The panic tone of concern from him was adorable, she slowly pulled her lips from his hard cock and sat upright, feeling the warm musky sensation of cum sticking inside her mouth. Her cryo avatar disappeared from thin air after Shenhe couldn't concentrate its existence, the musky scent of his nephew's Yang filled semen had her entire body paralyzed in a euphoric state. Shenhe slowly swallow the pool of semen one by one, licking the rest of the remnants that escape her mouth once she finish swallowing it whole.
"Mmm tasty." The sight of his aunt swallowing his essence so eagerly with her bedroom eyes filled with the intense desire to fuck him had Chongyun hard again. He placed a hand on her lips and wiped away the residue of release, but his aunt responded by licking his palm, like a hungry little kitten begging for more of his milk.
"But is it not degrading for you auntie?" The guilt-ridden tone from her nephew was something she expected, but she simply responded with a shake of her head. She never thought she enjoyed the sensation of having a man's penis in her mouth, she thought it was uncouth and disgusting to orally pleasure someone but to her surprised, she thoroughly enjoyed the process. Chongyun would never be dirty or disgusting in her eyes, he was beyond pure and sweet.
"I would be, if it weren't for the fact it was you who I am pleasuring." The sultry whisper from her earned a flushed reaction from him, but they were way past that now. He stared at his aunt beautiful body that begged his undivided attention, now it was his turn to return the favour.
"Auntie Shenhe I want to please you too." The earnest and sincere tone from her nephew had Shenhe quaking. She squeeze her thighs together to prevent the liquids from dripping again, the thought of Chongyun fingering her pussy as he whisper sweet nothings to her was enough to make nod meekly. With the shy confirmation from his aunt, Chongyun felt confident that he could pleased his aunt as well. He focused his attention on his aunt's body, every contour, shape and curve of his body was thoroughly analyzed by him.
"Sit here Shenhe." The older woman felt a chill down her spine when Chongyun said her name with such a commanding presence, she followed his orders and sat between his legs, feeling the sticky tip of his hard cock pushing against lower back. She regulated her ragged breathing when she felt her nephew's arms roaming around her maiden body, his lips pressed against her neck, planting every soft kiss on her body as his teeth gently nibble on her fair skin.
"You're body is tensed." The hush raspy tone from her nephew made her bit her lower lip, she hoped to the stars above that he just shoves his fingers into her sloppy wet pussy.
"T-This is the first time that I have done something like this." Chongyun felt a sense of pride hearing that, knowing his aunt was unclaimed by any other man shouldn't be a ego boost, but he couldn't deny he felt absolutely flattered and humbled that his beautiful woman was his to cherish and fondle.
"I would be sure to be gentle, Shenhe." The young aunt mewed when her nephew decided to squeeze her hardened nipples at that very moment, his other free hand slowly trailing from her breast to her abdomen, and agonizingly to her womanhood.
'His voice can become so manly and dominating if he wants to be.' Shenhe wanted to hear more of this, she wanted her nephew to own her body and do as he pleased. Even if it goes against his nature, Shenhe wants him to be strong and rough with her body, make her beg for it even. Her pleads however seemed to be answered when felt her nephew's finger protrude inside her pussy. She let out a hiss of pleasure when his middle finger slide in and out, the moist sloppy sound of his finger pistoning her so intensely had her moan with every thrust.
"Y-You're so skilled in this, are you sure you never done this before?" Chongyun slow down his pace and his ragged breath, the sweat that appeared on his forehead was quickly away by Shenhe. She planted a soft kiss on his lips, an act that Chongyun reciprocated by a more forceful and passionate one. They parted their lips once more, though the blissful moans from his aunt was a delight to his ears, teasing her clitoris and labia by gyrating his two digits was a fun experience.
"Xinqiu had recommended me to read some books regarding pleasing the female anatomy. He says its crucial for males to learn the arts of pleasuring their beloved. I harbored my doubts but the results seemed to speak otherwise." The bookworm's taste in erotic books and wuxia novels was concerning, but like any good gentleman, pleasing your beloved and making them feel loved and pampered is extremely important. The prudish side of Chongyun cast much doubt into the reasoning, but now he was glad he had conducted extensive research into the art of pleasing a woman. Shenhe chuckled at the embarrassed reaction from her nephew, he seemed to be caught red-handed.
"Hmph, that child is certainly more mischievous than he looks." Still, Shenhe was secretly grateful that flamboyant prankster did exposure her dear Chongyun to such books. Her moment of thought ended abruptly when Chongyun ramped up his finger by rapidly shoving his fingers back into her fold, sliding in back and forth with slick precision. The young woman scarcely had the time to recover when Chongyun bit her neck down to calm her down, the mixture of pain and pleasure all cumulated into one organismic feeling of sheer pleasure.
"C-Chongyun!" The heavy ragged breathing and moans from his aunt would have kept him going, but he decided to tease her and let her enjoy this lovemaking session more. Without rhyme or warning, he stopped his fingering and pulled his sticky finger out from her lovehole, earning a displeased and unsatisfied Shenhe mewing in response.
"W-Why did you stop? I was so close to- mhmm!" Her moment of anger and disappointment was swiftly silenced when Chongyun kissed her again, he seized the oppurtunity to reposition himself on top of his aunt, pinning his hot and bothered body against his aunt's virile and fertile body. Their tongue crossed path with each other, tasting each other's mouth in all of its entirety as Shenhe's hand gripped Chongyun's soft hair, ruffling it in the process. The passionate kiss soon ended when Chongyun parted lips from her, with his tongue dripping with their combined saliva together. Eyes still on his aunt, he kissed the valley of his auntie's breast, foundling them with his other hand. The young aunt let out a sigh of relief and laid her head on top of her fluffy pillow, she watched her esteemed and virtuous nephew worshipping her body with every soft kiss to her body, kissing down to her navel and nether regions. She bit her lower lip to suppress the nervousness and the anticipation, the sight of her nephew's dribbling trails of their combined saliva on her maiden body was so surreal and intense. Finally, his mouth reached her womanhood that was glistened with her nectar. The puffy red pussy lips was pry opened by Chongyun's fingers, earning a muffled moan from Shenhe as she just want her nephew to enter her. The hesitation from his nephew however did concerned Shenhe, was he disgusted by the sight? Is something wrong with the way it is formed?
"I-Is something wrong with my womanhood Chongyun?" Chongyun smiled and shook his head, he leaned forward and planted a kiss on her forehead, reassuring his lovely aunt that he was just taken aback by how different and beautiful her pussy looked. They looked ravishing and in need of fucking.
"No, it's just far different from the illustration and pictures I read. The lovely pink lips and tuff of white hair is something I crave to see again." She could feel his hot breath against her labia, the tingling sensation of his raspy breath and cold cryo finger tips almost made her shudder. The sheer intensity of her nephew's gaze on her maidenhood was flattering enough.
"D-Don't describe it so intently." Chongyun grinned, it seemed that his aunt was exactly like him, weak to compliments.
"Oh~ I do find your supple and voluptuous body is irresistible auntie. I can't possibly be the only person in the world who had the privilege and honour to see your perfect nude body." The suave bedroom eyes from her nephew was a different experience, suddenly Shenhe found herself shy and cornered. The once prideful and aloof adepti disciple now felt vulnerable and submissive to her nephew, the thought itself was enough to turn her on even further.
"Y-You are only person in the world who had seen me like this." The embarrassed reaction, gods she is adorable.
"Really now? I'm honoured Shenhe, a beautiful maiden body like yours is all mine?" Shenhe whimpered in response when Chongyun's face was right above her dripping pussy. She could feel the heat emanating from his body which mean his temperature is flaring up exponentially.
"C-Chongyun, you're temperature." His auntie's voice of concern was quickly silenced when Chongyun leaned to her ears, his fingers never leaving her labia.
"It's fine, I can bear it auntie. I want to make you happy too." Without a moment to retort, Shenhe held back a moan by biting on her fingers roughly when Chongyun's tongue pushed into her pussy. She tightened her thick thighs around her nephew's head and raised them above, allowing Chongyun to place his two hands on her thighs to support himself. He gently lapped against her clitoris and labia, feeling the hot and musky smell of her vagina hitting his nostrils. Her uncontrolled moans and shrieks further motivated Chongyun, he stuck his tongue into the deepest parts of her womanhood and slurped the juices of her vagina hungrily. He wasn't sure if he doing it correctly, but he allowed his primal urges and instincts takes their course.
"C-Chongyun you- ah!" It seemed that he doing a good job, he doubled down his efforts and flickered his tongue through and forth, pulling and nibble the clitoris with his teeth. Shenhe's fantastic thighs were still clamped around his head, holding him in a tight lock. He continue to pleasure his beloved aunt as he increase in intensity, his licking all side of her pussy while feeling his auntie yanking his hair roughly.
"I'm at my limit, Chongyun!" She let out piercing scream before releasing all of her pent up tension and sexual frustration, coating Chongyun's face in all of her juices and marking him as her's. The overwhelming scent of her sex permeated the room, but Chongyun was dazed by the smell and innocently took scooped her juices up by her finger and put them close to his nose, smelling the lovely scent of his aunt. He never thought a woman can release their juices in such power manner, the fluid of ejaculation was rather watery compared to his own thicker fluids.
"Your scent is lovely auntie." Shenhe panted and rest a hand on her forehead, she still gathering her breath from the sheer pleasure and sensation. This was such as overwhelming experience that she wished to experience again, no wonder couples in Tevyat often engage in such sexual acts she once considered deviant. Shenhe let out a rare giggle when Chongyun climbed his way towards her, hugging her nude body with his face firmly planted between her bosom. It felt nice to be able to hug someone you love in your arms, its quite indescribable.
She cupped his cheeks with her hands and rubbed them with her thumbs, perhaps it was time for their union. She bit her lower lip, trailing her hands around her nephew's strong athletic body that was deceptively hidden behind his baggy clothes. His biceps and forearm were filled with muscle and vigor, so much so she found her fingers trailing each muscle vein. The two exchanged eye contact before letting out a little chuckle, clearly each party was still nervous with what's about to come.
"Are you ready Chongyun?" The young exorcist wondered if he should be the one who asked that question. The man often have to take the lead, at least according to tradition. Losing his innocence and virginity to his aunt wasn't a decision to make lightly, but Chongyun made it this far, might as well see the whole damn thing through. If the gods had frowned upon his immoral activities, Chongyun only hoped they spared his aunt. But considering his has devoted his life at cleansing unholy spirits and demons, he was certain the celestial divines are willing to turn a blind eye on him.
"I am, but- no it's nothing." Shenhe didn't like the backtracking from her nephew, for this relationship to work it requires trust and communication from both side. Though she thoroughly enjoyed the experience she have with her dear nephew, she fundamentally understood that he is still a young adolescent. If he was to get cold feet now, Shenhe can only concede. She's a patient woman after all, she could wait once he is ready.
"If you're having doubts or second thoughts, it's not too late to stop." Chongyun shook his head and grasped his aunt's hand, holding it firmly to his chest before giving it a small kiss. He never thought he would be a clingy and affectionate person, but being with Shenhe made him want to shower her with all of the kisses and love in the world. She deserves that much.
"It's not that, but are you sure you want me to be the one? I understand that giving your first is something sacred and dear to girls." Ah so that was why he hesitated. Shenhe reached out her arms, ushering her nephew to join her again. He went for the warm embrace, hugging her tenderly to his side as he stroke her snowy white hair.
"Of course, you promised me right?" He has grown accustomed to the soft whispers from his aunt, a delicate side that only Chongyun had the privilege to see. He steeled his courage and gave a curt nod, he had given her the solemn promise that he would stay by her side, the calamity and demon sealed within her be damned. She deserves to be happy just like anyone else, if no one were to deliver that happiness to her, than Chongyun would. Come hell or high water, the exorcist was determined to stay by his aunt's side no matter the cost.
"Yes." The simple answer from him was all she needed. She felt her emotions that threaten to spill over, gods why is she feeling so emotional now? She wiped away the tears that fell from her eyes, the waterworks that just occurred out of nowhere. The comforting embrace from her nephew soothed her heart, their naked body pressed against each other as he rubbed her back. This was the first time she cried after the incident, to have Chongyun to see this side of her was embarrassing, but she was glad that it was him.
"I-I'm sorry, I didn't know what came over me." The puffy smile from her made his heart beat faster, Chongyun gave a soft smile of his own and rubbed her tears away with his thumb. He froze momentarily when his auntie nuzzled his hand, holding it firmly against her cheek as she savour his gentle warmth.
"Chongyun, I can't think of anyone else who deserves me. I may not have much to offer in terms of being a romantic partner, but I would like to stay by your side until eternity devours us whole." The confession from her had Chongyun in awe, he felt butterflies fluttering in his chest. This was the first time a girl ever said something so romantic and profound to him, to have a woman to dedicate their entire life to stay by your side and supporting you anyway he can, how can he not feel touched and moved?
"Shenhe." The two exchanged kisses, letting their bodies and action to do the talking. Shenhe snaked her arms around his neck, slowly pulling him down to her as she laid on the soft velvet bed that was stained with their respective release. The pleasant weight of her nephew pinning her down was comfortable, the crisp cool air the night permeated the room, with their body warmth providing each other plenty of solace. Emotions ran high between the two, though no words were further conveyed, both of them knew what they both wanted.
The exorcist pulled back from the kiss, his cheeks was flushed red while his blue hair was disheveled. His muscles and pecs glistened with sweat, though that little to bother the young man. The hot sweaty smell of sex was something he could get used to, his overabundance of yang didn't seemed to be an issue, in fact he reckoned it helped him with his libido and recovery speed. He knelt on the bed and brandished his cock that was on full mast, the sight of Shenhe's body being laid bare before him was enticing as ever. Dear the stars, she is stunning.
"Shenhe, I'm putting it in now." The adepti's disciple nodded and opened her legs wider, with her fingers expanding the entrance of her pussy. She could sense his shaky nerves getting on to him, and who can blame him? He is taking the first step to adulthood, the first step of becoming a man.
"There's no rush, let's take our time." Chongyun found renewed confidence when Shenhe's hands interlocked with his, he pressed their hands next to her head, towering over his beautiful and cool aunt who nursed a warm smile. Seeing that she was prepared and ready, Chongyun placed his cock on the entrance of his aunt's maidenhood. The sheer heat emanating from the wet pussy had him ready and hard, so with one last confirmation from his aunt, she gave a soft motherly smile and nodded. Gently as he go, Chongyun slowly thrust in his cock inside of his aunt. The tip of his crown parted the entrance, stretching the walls of her cervix far until it fit his large cock. He chattered his teeth over the sensation of having the walls of his aunt's pussy clamping down on him. He slid in further and further, until he inevitably her hymen.
"Chongyun I'm not that fragile, please makes me yours." The young exorcist gave a nod, he wanted to make his as painless as possible for his aunt. He recomposed himself before delivering one solid thrust, breaking his aunt's hymen on that very moment. The loud cry of pain from his aunt quickly earned his concern, he halted all forms of movement even though his loins begged him to thrust forward.
"Shenhe are you alright?" He felt her tightening their grip, with their clasped hands sunken into the fabric of bed. He watched her recover from the stinging pain, she flashed a comforting smile and nodded, wanting to feel more of her beloved nephew inside of her.
"I'm fine, please proceed. The sensation is- wonderful." That was all Chongyun needed to hear, he continue to thrust forward with his hips leading much of the work. The slow movement of his thrusting gradually picked up the pace as he stretched his aunt's cervix to it's absolute limits, before pulling it out. The sight of blood coating his cock was expected given his aunt was a maiden, but to see it with his own eyes was something else entirely, a mixture of pride and dominance that made him feel masculine. From the books he read, he distinctively remembered that not every virgin woman would bleed on their first time, not that it would have changed anything about his lovely aunt anyway.
"I'm sorry for such an unsightly mess." The guilty and ashamed looked from his aunt was disheartening to Chongyun, there was nothing to be ashamed about! Chongyun leaned forward and kissed her forehead before trailing down to her nose, earning an adorable giggle from her. He pulled his auntie upwards with their body still intimately connected together, they exchanged kisses again with Shenhe wrapping around her nephew's strong and honed body tightly. The ragged breaths and pants from the two filled the room, the slosh wet sound of sex increased in intensity as Chongyun got more familiar with Shenhe alluring body. He let out a growl at the sight of his aunt completely submitting her body to him, moaning and praising his name he fucked her rougher and rougher.
"Chongyun! Faster!" He gladly obliged to her request and thrust his hips faster, hugging her body tight to him as she bounced up and down on his dick. Though heightened in his fervor and passion, he was gradually feeling the fatigue of pumping inside his aunt, the strenuous activity of lovemaking was surprising to Chongyun but his young virile body and pride would not let him down now.
"Shenhe, you're so lovely!" God her body was addicting, every supple warmth of her body slapping against his skin was amazing. The tight pussy walls that clamped down on his dick and the sloppy wet sound of sex was just such an intense experience for Chongyun. He could barely control his inhibitions as his mouth was agape with drool and saliva leaking from the sheer sexy sight of his auntie bouncing up on his cock like she owns it. She reached for his cheeks and pulled them closer to her, leaning her forehead against his sweaty forehead as her nephew's cock kept thrusting inside her womb.
"Congratulations my dear nephew, your auntie belongs to you now." That's right, she belongs to him. Chongyun had claimed his own aunt as his woman, she is his and his only! Everything in the world didn't matter now, he only needed Shenhe by his side. Their entwinned fingers and the Fontaine kiss they shared, Chongyun wants to feel more of his adepti raised aunt.
"A-Auntie, I'm getting close!" Shenhe's vision was blurry with the intensity of sex, her dazed state and sense was absolutely hammered, just like how her nephew was hammering her pussy with no care in the world. Having to suppress her emotions for so long, the voracity state of sex and lust was causing her to lose her state of mind and senses. She wants it, she wants her nephew semen to flood her pussy till the brim, the taste of his cum was divine in itself, the sensation of his warm thick seed should be no different.
"Go ahead and release it in me! Let me feel your seed inside of me!" The tension built up rapidly within his loins, he could barely contain his insatiable lust. He furiously pounded his aunt, pinning his entire body weight against her and he thrust with all of his might. The fluid motion their lovemaking finally exceeded the peak of passion as Chongyun shoved his dick to the deepest of his aunt's pussy in one might slam.
"Shenhe!" His cry of pleasure reached the pinnacle of heaven, the rope of semen that flooded his aunt's womb began to overwhelmed all sense of reality. Wave after wave, Chongyun released all of his seed inside of her, filling it up to the absolute brim. He gasped to catch his breath, watching in awe as his mighty aunt was completely defenseless and vulnerable. To think sex can bring her down to this level of degeneracy and pleasure, the thought had him hook. Their raspy breaths and pants gradually subsided, Shenhe covered herself with her arm to prevent her nephew from staring at her pathetic lewd looking face but her nephew was having one of it. He pry her arms opened and pinned them to the side, the embarrassed and crimson red blush on her cheeks was driving his libido insane.
"S-So much is pouring out." Shenhe whimpered when her nephew slowly pulled out from her body, an audible pop sound was heard and his seed began to pour out of her vagina. The warm leakage of her pussy slowly drooled down to the bedsheet, the sheer volume of his cum inside of her was amazing, never had her insides been stirred up so much before. Her fingers scooped up Chongyun's semen that were still warm and musky, she quickly pulled it to her mouth and began to licked the gooey remnants of her cum filled fingers. The sight of his aunt licking his cum like a prostitute had him excited, with his raging hard on still erect and ready, but saner thoughts prevailed and the daunting realization what he had done to his aunt began to hit him
He just came inside of her.
"I'm- what if you get-" The livid expression on her nephew was endearing to watch, just as quickly as she became her nephew's submissive slut, her motherly figure resurfaced as she pulled him into a hug to sooth his concern.
"Relax, the wild herbs I consume prevents ovulation." A huge sigh of relief came from Chongyun, he couldn't believed he didn't consider the possibility of impregnating his aunt. He shuddered at the thought of getting his aunt pregnant, the burden and judgmental eyes of society she have to endure, gods call him a fool!
"I'm sorry, I should have asked you this beforehand." Shenhe sighed at her nephew's self bitterness, she was arguably the adult here. If she was pregnant because of their lovemaking, she would bear her share of the responsibility as well. She stroke the back of his hair and pulled aside messy strands of hair that obscure his cute little face.
"No need to apologize, I was the one who asked you to ejaculate inside me." Seeing that he has comes to term with it, Shenhe smiled as she continue to stroke her nephew's cheeks. Her fingers jolted up when they touched his forehead, it was burning with intense heat. Her eyes widened at the thought that her nephew as actively suppressing his Yang energies the entire time.
"You're temperature is very high, shall we head to the showers to clean up and cool off?" The young man only nodded, feeling absolutely pampered of having his aunt taking care of him in such an intimate manner.
"Yeah".
The cold water springs flowed from the ice capped mountains, traveling along the river as it finally reached the private bathtub. The ambience sound of the gushing river was calming as ever, though the night was late and many of the wildlife had long been asleep, the sound of crickets can still be heard faintly in the distance. Such quiet night like these were perfect for philosophical debates, self-reflections and pondering the future.
In Chongyun's case, he was still in shock that he just fucked his aunt.
'If words of this gets out, the consequences would be disastrous.' There was guilt not doubt about that, but was there any shred of regret? Hell no, Chongyun thoroughly enjoyed the process, in fact he want experience more of them in the future. The lovemaking session with his aunt was everything he could ever hope for with a woman, and he was glad that Shenhe was the one who took his first. In all honesty, he wasn't sure if things between them would continue to be this smooth sailing, but regardless of high tides or calming seas, he is ready to shoulder any burden and pain just to be with Shenhe.
"You are in already." The melodious sound of his beloved echoed in the bathroom, the young exorcist smiled at the sight of his naked aunt standing before him with two pieces of towel draped across her arms.
"Sorry, I thought I would get in first." Chongyun placed an elbow on the edge of the bathtub and supported his head with his palm, he gazed upon his aunt's nude body that was all for him to see. The supple large breasts that glistened with sweat, the red puffy pussy lips that he had the pleasure of tasting and plowing, but most importantly of all, it was the sincere and happy smile on her face that had his heart thumping like no tomorrow.
"It's alright, but I would like to sit in front." The exorcist nodded, finding quite ridiculous that sharing a bath with his aunt is normal and expected now. Their very first bathing experience was him being incredibly shy and embarrassed, now she is completely nude and bare with his cum still leaking out of her pussy, which admittedly had him hard again despite the freezing waters.
"Sure." He watched his aunt entered the bathtub as she tied her hair into a ponytail, the exposure of her armpits and the hairband on her lips invoked a primordial feeling within Chongyun's loin. Ponytail Shenhe looked absolutely sexy, the thought of yanking her ponytail as he shove his member insider her mouth-
"How are you feeling?" Shenhe placed the back of her hand against nephew, her eyebrows were raised at the sudden red flushed on his cheeks as her nephew began to sink himself lower into the bathtub to hide his face. She narrowed her eyes and instinctively, roam her hands around the bathtub until she touched his hot throbbing member. The sudden touch from his aunt made Chongyun moan, but he didn't overreact like Shenhe predicted. Which was good in her book, he is comfortable with her enough already.
"You're hard again." He let out a pent up sigh when Shenhe retracted her hands and sit between his legs, deliberately rubbing her back against his hardon as she shuffled around the bathtub. With his auntie firmly in place, Chongyun wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her bare shoulders.
"Is this alright?" Shenhe giggled in response to the deep husky tone from him, the little kiss and nibbles on her body was something she enjoyed far more than she is willing to admit.
"Yes, this feels lovely and soothing. To be able to receive the embrace from the ones you love is truly a luxury." Chongyun halted his "assaults" and ponder a bit deeper on his aunt's word. He didn't expect her to say something so surprisingly profound but it did make sense after what they have done together. He is truly fortunate to be able to hug a beautiful woman like Shenhe like this, regardless of their blood ties. Still, they needed to confront the elephant in the room.
"Auntie, what we done was-" He didn't even need to finish his sentence to convey his message, Shenhe was well aware of what he wanted to talk about.
"I know, I very much lost all sense of composure when you kissed me." It was an understatement, Shenhe's brain practically shut down when her nephew pounced on her. The feeling of his hands roaming around her body just made her paralyzed, all of her strength just flee at that very moment and what replaced them with the desire to fuck her nephew. It was deplorable and degrading all things considered, but as long it was Chongyun she didn't mind it one bit.
"What happens now?" It was a perfectly valid question to ask, but Chongyun's serious cadence and tone made the situation all the more concerning. Shenhe breathed out a sigh and grasped his hand, running her fingers across his knuckles with the softest caress.
"Our relationship can be whatever you want, just stay by my side. That is all I ask of you." The exorcist prodigy had already long decided what relationship he wants with his aunt. He tightened his grip around her slender body and lick her earlobes, earning a chill of pleasure down the veteran warrior's spine.
"I'm not going anywhere Shenhe. I'm here to stay." Before she could even respond to his devotion, Shenhe bucked up when she felt his fingers trailing down to her womanhood, touching the tuff of hair on her labia in the process. Her knees weakened instantly at the thought of her nephew fingering her in the bathtub.
"C-Chongyun we are suppose to clean ourselves." The pleading and panicked voice from his aunt only fueled his lust further. He ignored her words and continue to fondled her body, with one of his hands sneakily making their way towards her large breast.
"You're asking me to hold back from indulging in this lovely and beautiful body? You're too cruel auntie." Quick on his hands, Chongyun pinched his aunt's breast and twisted them roughly, earning a cry of pleasure from her as she began to flail around the bathtub to suppress the pleasure coursing through her body.
"N-No don't pinch my breast!" Chongyun narrowly avoided being smacked in the face by his aunt's ponytail, he hesitated for a moment before he decided to do something absurdly bold that may or may not backfire on him. Without warning, he retracted his other hand and pulled her ponytail, yanking it closer to him as his mouth reached for her ears.
"Your moans are driving me crazy auntie, I'm so hard right now." Shenhe was in awe at how rough her nephew is, she didn't mind this one bit, not at all. She let him assumed control for the moment, mewing pathetically as he continued to fondle around her breast. But not wanting to be outdone by him, she reached for his raging cock that poked her back and stroke it softly, earning a grunt of pleasure from Chongyun.
"Shenhe your hands are so soft." She beamed a smiled at his compliment and doubled her efforts, compliments seemed to turn her on. It make sense giving Shende's background, which made Chongyun determined to compliment and praise his aunt as much as possible. He whispered sweet nothings to his Shenhe's ears, every loving compliment and sincere gesture increased roughness and speed of her handjob. Chongyun panted with his tongue out, he close, his aunt was doing gods work on him, he was about-
"Huh- why?" Shenhe smirked at Chongyun's reaction once she stopped pleasuring him with her hand, essentially cockblocking her own nephew. She let out a triumph smile and kissed his jaw, she find his puffy upset expression incredibly cute.
"Payback~" Chongyun grimaced, he only have himself to blame now huh.
"Aww come on auntie." Shenhe chuckled at his begging expression, perhaps they could try something else. She felt the girth of his cock for a brief moment before an idea popped up in her head. She repositioned herself in the bathtub and knelt on top of it, kneeling before her curious and confused nephew.
"Okay, okay. I would make it up to you, why don't stand up and face this way." Chongyun had the faintest of idea what's about to cum, he swiftly stood up from the cold bath, slushing the water around with his movements. His erect manhood barely shriveled under the spell of the cold water, in fact it was throbbing with heat and the desire to fuck something. His aunt gave a devilish grin and placed her soft hands on her nephew's unsheathed sword, the glistening cock was wet and ready to be pleased. The mature woman leaned forward and rubbed her cheeks against his member, feeling the pulsating length twitching in delight
"Careful not to slip okay Chongyun?" The gentle motherly like voice was filled with love and comfort, yet the sight of his aunt kneeling before him with his cock slapping against her cheek was tempting him to fuck her. He hissed to muffle the moans of pleasures escaping his mouth as his aunt begin to stroke his cock slowly, squeezing his testicles with the faintest of force.
"You like this Chongyun?" Her lust filled eyes stared back at him, eagerly awaiting his reactions with every stroke. Chongyun bit his lower lip to contain the pleasure and pushed aside the sideswept bang that obscured her other oval eye, to be able to see his aunt stroking his manhood as if it was an act of worship was indescribable.
"Yeah, I like watching you uh perform." Shenhe rolled her eyes, perform would be the most polite and innocent way to address what she is doing to her nephew. She quicken her strokes while maintaining eye contact with Chongyun, she could feel him stroking her hair, as if to reward her for doing such an excellent job worshipping his cock.
"Auntie I'm close." She beamed at the news and put her mouth to good use, her tongue protruded outwards as saliva began to drip from the side of her mouth. She flickered her tongue back and forth on his rod while her hands were masterfully stroking the base of his shaft. The crown of penis twitched violently at the assault, the rhythmic fapping sound filled the entire bathroom but so did Chongyun pitiful moans that indicated he was under the mercy of his aunt, which he is.
"Let it out Chongyun, let your auntie bathe in your essence!" Shenhe's arousal was through the roof, her pussy started to leak in anticipation of the huge load that would soon come. It wasn't long before her nephew gave loud shriek and release his strings of cum onto her, but instead of taking it in with her mouth, she opened her mouth as each spurt hit her face. The facial creampie on Shenhe continue with the thick musky stream of semen continue to covered her porcelain face, staining her innocence with much of the exorcist's seed. As the cum stream stopped, Shenhe felt the warm essence of Chongyun fully sinking into her skin. The overwhelming salty and fishy sent of semen was making her increasingly wet, her virile and cum filled pussy was already dripping with her nectar.
"Good boy~" Chongyun legs almost gave away that instance, he needed to use he hand to support the wall just to have a grasp on his balance. He sat back down on the bathtub, watching his aunt slowly licking his cum off her face like a kitten grooming herself. The little moans that escaped her mouth had to be intentional because Chongyun had a hard time leaving his eyes off her.
"Auntie Shenhe, we should really be in bed soon." Somehow being the voice of reason in this scenario, Chongyun was very fatigue because of today's events, the sparring sessions had him worn out already, not to mention his aunt just wrung out the rest of his vitality. The sound of water slushing earned his attention, he smiled when his aunt used the coursing water of the tub to wipe away any impurities and filths, his filths especially.
"Let me wash your hair and body auntie." Shenhe blinked but accepted the gesture from her nephew, some of his semen unfortunately stained her hair, not that she mind the sensation it was just a hassle to rinse it out clean. She reached for the Qinxin flowers and herbs that she preemptively prepared before entering the bath and began to throw it around the tub, a form of shower gel comprise of natural materials. Fortunately, Cloud Retainer designed the bathtub in mind that Shenhe would perhaps relax inside the tub, so partitions were designed to prevent the herbs and flowers from being washed away into the drain. It was a ridiculous idea when Shenhe was first introduced to the concept, but now she could wholeheartedly say that she finally found a reason to use the bath's feature.
The young woman hummed a lullaby sung by Cloud Retainer when she was a child, her nephew's gentle hand roam around her body, wiping away the sweat and bodily fluids from her perfect skin. She mewed a response when he took off her hairband and tossed it at the bathroom cabinet, landing perfectly into one of the compartments designed to keep her hair accessories. Growing up Shenhe has always been fiercely independent, never liking to rely on others to support due to trust issues harbored from the trauma. Yet right now, she want nothing but her nephew to pamper and spoil her, which Chongyun was really adept at doing.
"Thank you Chongyun." He chuckled at the meek tone, seeing a mature and sophisticated woman like her acting all flustered is certain a joy for his heart. He ran his hand through her snowy white hair and began to rinse it with water, he followed the trail of the locks and reached for her scalp, slowly massaging them with his firm hands. The impromptu head massage from her nephew was surprising but Shenhe quickly melted to Chongyun expert hair washing techniques.
"Is the temperature alright?" Shenhe nodded, eyeing the mirror of the bathroom that gave a clear view of her nephew. He was clearly trying his hardest to wash her hair but she was more fixated on his tone muscles now that she have a clear view of it. The bathtub's scented candle light illuminated the room, which made Shenhe wondered why Cloud Retainer places so much effort in making this bathtub so personnel and romantic, clearly the intent of the bathtub was built for lovers. Perhaps she was hoping that one day Shenhe would find a beloved to share her days with?
"Yes, its feels very intimate to have you wash my hair like this. I can't quite describe the feeling." Chongyun grinned at the content look on his aunt's face, how did he know? Well he was using the same mirror his aunt was using to check him out. The fragrant smell of Qinxin flower and herbs mixed together was therapeutic, a form of aromatherapy that Chongyun sorely missed. The sudden movement from his aunt earned his interest, he glanced at the mirror and could see the deadpanned expression on her face.
"I can feel it rubbing against me." Chongyun face flushed red as he tried to play it off innocently, despite all the sexual activities they have done, his cock was still semi erect and hard. His aunt's sexy and voluptuous body just made it dang impossible not to get turn on.
"Sorry, it's uh natural response." Shenhe turned around to properly face her nephew, she ignored his throbbing member against her thigh and placed the back of her hand on his forehead. It seems that bath really lowered his temperature where the danger of him overindulging in his Yang is no longer a threat. Though a part of Shenhe wanted her nephew to let loose and have his yang to consumed him, the various intimate acts they could do just made her body shudder in delight.
"It seems your overabundance of yang also affects your sexual prowess as well." Chongyun sighed and placed his elbow on the bathtub's edge, he knew that learned yang is often tied to a man's fertility and libido but to this extent? Would he become an unstoppable sex fiend if his yang overdoses? That was a terrifying thought.
"One of the few times I'm grateful for my curse." Shenhe covered her mouth to suppress her chuckle over her nephew's cynical response. It's not all that bad, his congenial yang and her depressive yin would naturally balance each other, perhaps that was the reason why he was able to contain his yang energy while they were making love. The amount of sweaty and heat generated from those activity alone should have send him over the edge. She nursed a smile and found it liberating that she can freely expression her emotions with no red strings attached, it felt free to be able to be herself after so long.
"Come sit on my lap." Chongyun raised his eyebrows, were they really going for another round? He didn't mind that.
"Huh?" Shenhe sighed but patted her lap, slushing the water of the tub up and down in the process.
"Just be a good boy and sit on my lap, I want to try something." He gladly obliged to her request, he went over this aunt's side and plopped his ass down on her lap, feeling the lush thighs of her aunt instantly igniting his loins and neurons. He let out a little giggle when his aunt wrapped her arms around his waist, cuddling him closer to her.
"Auntie I thought we're cleaning up."
"I just want to hold you like this." Chongyun found the idea of cuddling with his aunt incredibly sweet and adorable, but given they were still submerged in freezing waters and their skin are wrinkling at they speak, they should enjoy their time together on the nice warm bed and not on a bathtub.
"We can do it in bed, the bathroom is not exactly the most comfortable of places for this." Shenhe let out a little pout, she didn't want leave but she could see his reasoning. And so the two stood up and began to dry each other, with Chongyun giving her firm ass a little slap. Shenhe gasped that naughty act from her nephew and responded by giving him a little slap on his shoulder. But between their little antics and giggles over their immaturity, the two make their way to the bedroom with their stained bed miraculously replaced with a new sheet and duvet. Chongyun blinked in confusion and turned to his aunt who only have him a wink with her finger placed against her lips.
'Her cryo avatar must have replaced the sheets while we were bathing.' It was the only plausible conclusion, still he was impressed by how efficient illusionary avatars at their work. With fresh sheets and a clean body, Chongyun leaped onto the bed with his limbs stretched forward, the soft fabric of the sheets was divine to his smooth skin. Shenhe joined soon after and went under the cover, she placed the blanket over Chongyun's nude's body and eagerly pulled him closer to her. The two then cuddled together under the veil of night, with Chongyun nuzzling into his aunt's soft mounds as makeshift pillows. Hush whispers were exchanged between the two, Shenhe's seized the chance to ruffle his hair and kiss it softly, inhaling the fresh scent of Qinxin flower.
"Tonight was a blissful experience that I would treasure forever." Chongyun's lips curled upwards, he too would never forget this night. The height of passion, the intensity of sex, everything cumulated to his desire to stay by Shenhe's side.
"Same here, I didn't expect it but I really enjoyed our time together." Shenhe noted the drowsy fatigue in her nephew's voice, poor boy must be tired after everything. She stroke his hair softly and planted a soft kiss on his lips, they have all the time in the world to make love and court each other. Right now they should rest and sleep in each other's arms.
"If you're tired you can sleep first." Chongyun was beyond tired, his body just sunk like a log into the bedsheet and the soft lithe body of his aunt was just drawing him to sleep.
"Are you not tired auntie?" She chuckled at his murmurs, he was trying everything in his might to stay awake for her sake. But the gallant exorcist was still injured from today's injuries, so she didn't want to push his body even further.
"I am, but I would like to catch a glimpse of your adorable sleeping face." The young man smiled and gave her one last sweet kiss on her lips, lingering on their breaths for a few moments before he wished her good night and sweet dreams. The young aunt laid his head on top of the fluffy pillow, ensuring that he has the comfiest of sleep possible.
"Sleep dreams Chongyun." She whispered her good nights to him and simply hummed a lullable, she resisted the urge to poke his cheeks and instead focused on his boyish and handsome features. Shenhe laid down on her own pillow and snuggled closer to his warm body, who knew two souls can share something passionate with one another? Growing up in the abode, she had always been lonely. Although she touted that she didn't need human companionship, she knew that it was a lie. But right now having her dear Chongyun next to her, everything just seemed right.
"One is surprised to see you two had developed such intimate relationship with one another in a short amount of time." The steadfast warrior froze, the commanding tone was undeniable. She turned to the source of the sound and bit her lower lip at the sight of her parental guardian standing in the doorway.
"Master." The adeptus chuckled at the guilt-ridden tone from her student and waved her off with her wing. She slowly approached the duo and peered over Chongyun's sleeping form, the young adult looked completely content and happy in his sleep, simply adorable.
"Rest assured child, I am not here to chastise or lecture you. This is the path you and the boy chose together, it is not my place to judge or comment." Shenhe couldn't hold back a smile, she placed her hands together and bowed slightly. She was absolutely livid at the thought of Cloud Retainer finding out of their relationship. In truth, Shenhe knew that Cloud Retainer already suspected something when she began to spend her days with Chongyun, she just hoped that regardless of the outcome of her reaction, both of they can still remain as friends. But now knowing that her master and savior had acknowledged and accepted the incestous relationship she have with her nephew, Shenhe can breath a sigh of relief.
"Thank you master, Chongyun means- everything to me." In all of her years as Shenhe's guardian, she had seen what the young lady had to go through. The isolation and the trauma had hardened her, but she just like everyone else craved companionship and affection. To Cloud Retainer, Shenhe's happiness shouldn't be confined to the traditions and societal norms of mortals. Certainly, incest is a vile act that is frowned upon by the heavens, but if two souls genuinely love each other in a mutual consensual manner, who was the heavens or gods to judge? After all love is love, in every form and in every way. The guardian of Liyue was just glad her disciple found someone she loves wholeheartedly, and in return he loves her for who she is. Chongyun is a fine man, and even finer partner that much is certain.
"I understand, it gladdens my heart you found someone to care and love for. You have always tried to distant yourself from others, I assume this dashing exorcist provided you much solace and comfort?" Shenhe's face went crimson red as her maternal figure eyes both of their nude bodies. The heavenly crane chuckled in triumph over once her daughter's reaction, never in all of her years raising Shenhe did she seen this kind of reaction from her!
"Haha, seeing you blush like a fair maiden is certainly a sight for sore eyes!" Shenhe groaned outwardly at the embarrassment she was receiving, she held her covers tighter and looked way. But the mere twist and turning from her precious nephew quickly changed demeanour, she place a hand over his hair and placed a finger over her lips.
"Shh lower your voice, he is sleeping." The hush whisper of protectiveness was obviously, dear Morax was this girl protective and possessive over him.
"Very well, very well. I shall take my leave and rest, please send my best wishes and regards to Chongyun once he awakens from his slumber. Oh and do partake in freshening up the room once you are able to, the musky smell of your love making is not exactly the most pleasant of feelings." With that the wise crane left the room, leaving the two humans to their own world. Shenhe sighed at the potential calamity crisis scenario that almost occurred, thankfully she didn't need to resort to violence against her mentor to ensure Chongyun's safety. Not that it would had come to that but it was a potential option. Intrusive thoughts aside, Shenhe resumed to tucking Chongyun to bed and felt her own fatigue setting in.
"Auntie Shenhe." She paused at the mention of her name, was her Chongyun sleep talking? She peered over him and smiled widely at the little murmurs he was giving, it was all incomprehensible but it was adorable. She stroke his hair softly, running her fingers through his blue hair that she adored so much.
"Yes?"
"I'm not leaving you, I'm staying." She wasn't expecting a reply from him, are people actually aware of their conversation within their sleep? Shenhe was determined to find out, she cupped his soft cheeks and rubbed them with thumbs, her softened opal eyes was fixated on his sleeping face. Even in his sleep, Chongyun promised to stay by her side.
"I know." She smiled at the little reactions he was giving her, she poked his cheeks every now and then, drawing reaction that ranged from annoyed to giggling. Honestly she could spend hours doing this, hopefully Chongyun doesn't mind. In the midst of her caress, she suddenly found herself overwhelmed with emotions, she didn't know why but she just felt the sudden urge to cry. Waterworks ensued shortly and Shenhe tried to blink off her tears, what in Teyvat got into her?
'I'm crying? But why?' Her answer was soon found when she felt a warm hand on her own. It was Chongyun's and he held their clasped hands closely to his chest. The young aunt found her lips curling upwards, is this what they call tears of joy? Do they come out of nowhere? All these questions didn't matter, what is true is that they both loved each other and that is all Shenhe needed to know.
"Thank you for staying with me Chongyun, your auntie loves you very much." With her beloved Chongyun firmly in her arms, she gave her nephew one last kiss to the cheek before snuggling deeper into her covers. It wasn't long before a good night's sleep engulf Shenhe, joining her nephew in his sleep. The blissful smiles and entwined bodies of the two lovers continue through out the night, though uncertain at what their future would bring, both are willing to stay by each other's side until eternity takes them whole.
And that's the only thing that matters.
