Chapter 122 - 122 - Long Ki's Rut

The next morning Yukiya woke up feeling very refreshed. Following the fapping incident, the dragon slept quietly in his futon so she was able to get a good enough sleep.

She stretched her sore muscles and yawned. A small ambient of spiritual energy entered her body and circulated around. 'Hmm.... how is there ample spiritual energy here?' she wondered as she got out of the bed.

Yukiya searched around, but she could not find the red dragon anywhere. "Is he embarrassed of his fapping that he ran away?" she whispered.

"I'm right here," a small voice whispered.

In an inconspicuous corner, a small lump of duvet rested there. Chuckling softly, Yukiya strode over and poked it.

"Good morning," she whispered with a smirk.

"Stop touching," Long Ki whispered from inside.

"What? Are you fapping again? Wow, mister dragon, you have got some energy alright," she poked the wiggling ball again and again.

But there was no answer.

"Are you seriously fapping again? Long Ki, you pervert, it is bright out and the sun is out for goodnes's sake."

The lump wiggled around and whispered, "It is a... natural body reaction okay. It's just like your monthly bleeding,"

Yukiya slapped his knees. "Don't talk about monthly thing again."

Long ki pulled the duvet from his face and glared at her. His face was bright red. Even his ears and neck were red. "then you shouldn't talk about... about what happened last night,"

Chuckling softly, she agreed. She held out a pinkie and whispered, "Fine pinkie promise,"

"Pinkie promise," he wound his pinkie with her fingers.

"Then get up. Sulking in the corner is not going to help," Yukiya dragged him out of the corner and made him sit on the bed.

He just pulled his leg up and hid his head there. His face was still bleeding red. She never thought that it was possible for anyone's face to become this red. She started to get worried. 'Is he sick?'

Yukiya touched his forehead. The red dragon flinched. But she held his shoulder and kept him in place. She checked his temperature to find it abnormally hot.

"Why are you so hot? Oh god, are you really sick?" she started panicking now. She had never seen anyone's temperature this hot before. So she kneeled down next to him and checked his pulse. It was also very fast.

"oh god," she fumbled around in her ring to find some fever medicines. She pulled out at least three bottles and took out a pill from each. "here eat this," she handed him it.

"No..no," he whispered, shaking his head.

"Take it, you idiot. You are burning up," she said placing the pills in his palm.

But eth red dragon insistently refused to eat it. He hid his face with his sleeve and moaned.

Yukiya stopped her actions. "Did you just moan?" she whispered..

The poor red dragon felt mortified. He hid his face in between his knees. "no,"

"I just heard a loud moan," Yukiya mumbled.

Long ki shook his head.

Yukiya knew that he was not having fever as he thought. She kneeled besides hi and held his bent knees. "Long Ki, can you tell me what is wrong with you? I will not make fun of you anymore..so please."

Long Ki gazed down at her. His face was still red, and he was softly panting. "I Am not sick... its...." he started mumbling his following words.

"What.. I didn't get it. Can you repeat," Yukiya patiently whispered.

"I Am having my rut," he loudly said. His face went red even more, so he covered himself with his duvet.

"Rut? As in mating season kind of rut?" she softly caressed his knees, trying to assure him.

"Yes.. The same. Can you stop touching me? It's not helping my situation," he shouted from inside.

Yukiya immediately pulled her hands away. "Im sorry.. Didn't realise I was causing you trouble."

Long ki did not want to leave this place anymore. His rut had the most unexpected time to start. It was making it hard for him to even stand still. His JJ was twitching and aching, but he didn't want to touch in front of her.

"I... ii.. do you need any help," the woman hesitantly whispered.

Hearing this made his jj ached even more. 'Stop, don't talk. Get away, you are making it even worse,' he thought as pleasure rose in his head. The duvet he was using was Yukiya's, so it had a small fragrance to it. It was soothing and stirring at the same time.

"Gods.." he whispered.

Yukiya blushed red. She could not believe that she even offered help to him in this situation. 'Have you gone nuts, Yukiya. Why are you even so close to him? This man is a full grown man!' she told herself.

But her heart did not allow her to move away from him when he was in pain.

She sat next to him on the bed and softly patted his back. "There, there... everything is going to be okay," she whispered.

Her soft whispered evoked a kind of feeling in Long Ki's body. He softly moaned and moved away from her.

"it's better... not to touch me," he said.

The hand that was patting his back stopped, but it didn't leave.

He pulled his duvet down and gazed at her. "Yukiya, do you know what kind of danger you are in?"

She smirked at him and whispered, "Am I? I didn't think you were a dangerous man,"

"I Am a man. Isn't it more dangerous to even stay close to me? Ever worse, you slept in the same room as me. What is your Xia Che going to think?" he said.

Yukiya was confused for a second. What does Xia che have to do about it? "What would he think? He would probably say that underwater is better than a brick house,"

Long Ki fully turned towards her. "So you.... you both stayed together?"

"Yes, we did obliviously," Yukiya agreed to it without any hesitation.

Long Ki on the other hand was shocked. He never realised that this woman he was engaged to had another man. Moreover, she had been living with him all the while. Just the thought of this made his blood boil.

"How does he look?" he said through gritted teeth. 'Is he more handsome than me? More qualified than me? So why did you chose him?' he thought, biting his lips.

Yukiya on the other hand did not notice his panic. She smirked, remembering her beautiful son. Just the thought of him brought out her good mood. "Him? He is the most beautiful. He is so cute too. Just plain adorable," she squealed.

This made her remember her cute Xia's baby form. His little blue crayfish swimming around between the lotus leaves and shouting 'mommy ... mommy,'

"I wish he was safe. Just the thought of him in danger made my heart lurch," she whispered gazing down at her forearm. The little blue lotus enchantment was glowing softly.

Long Ki on the other hand was heartbroken even more. His rut suddenly disappeared and his body temperature went back to normal.

He shot up from her bed and pulled down the duvet. "I Am fine now," he said with a cold look.

Noticing his eyes, Yukiya was even more confused. The guy who was red as a tomato just a minute ago was cold as ice in minutes.

'Men... they are very had to understand,' she held his hands and pulled herself up.

Gazing down at their connected hands, Long Ki sighed. 'Women are so difficult to understand. Especially this one,' he thought.

A weird clattering sound disturbed their moment. "What is that sound?" Yukiya whispered.

Long Ki rushed over to the closed window and opened. Droplets of water splashed on his face. He wiped them and whispered, "it's raining,"

Yukiya also joined him and watched the rain trickle down the tiles. She held her hand out and let the cold water douse her dampened mood.

"at least this rain will bring about good harvest for these people," she mumbled.

The red dragon gazed at the floor and whispered, "I don't think so."

"Why do you say so?" she whispered.

"Look there," he pointed to the ground.

The land was completely dry. Even the drops trickling down it got sucked up so fast not even leaving a trace.

"What the hell," Yukiya cursed and dashed to the door. She squatted down and touched the soil. It was as loose and dry as the day they saw before.

"I guess the land really is curse," Long Ki said from the doorway.

"No.. It's not possible. How can one curse such a large area of land? It's not humanely possible," she mumbled. She softly held a handful of loose soil and brought it up to her nose.

A drop of rain water trickled down her slanted nose and dripped onto the fistful of sand. The sand got wet immediately.

"What is this? It's getting wet now," she whispered in shock. This was a phenomenon she had not seen before.

The soil was not cursed, it was the entire ground.
