There was no answer on the other side of the door, but the knocks continued.
"Oh I hate doors. Next time let's go to Kirin caves and never come out for hundreds of years," Long Ki whined. He hugged Yukiya tightly.
She squirmed around.
"I have to see who it is? It might be that those Golden temple people might have returned," Yukiya mumbled and got up. She then realised something, her only clothes were ripped apart piece by piece. She did not have any change of clothes with her. "Ki, can you check the door?"
"Yes, but I can't do it while you are fully naked," he whispered.
"I don't have a change of clothes!!" she whisper shouted. Yukiya glared at him and pouted. 'Silly dragon, he should have patently unwrapped my dress,' she internally scolded.
Long blinked. "Wow, we do have a problem,"
"Yes, we do!" she exclaimed. She rolled herself up in the duvet, but it did nothing to hide her naked shoulders.
"We'll do it like this. You hid under the covers. I'll check the door."
"Okay," Yukiya rolled herself up in a tubular form and stayed still.
Long Ki grimaced. The entire room was filled with her scent and his own. From an outsider's perspective, it would be pretty obvious what happened in here. Still. He gazed back at the rolled up futon and chuckled. "cute," he whispered and walked to the door.
"Who is it?" he called once more.
The knocks stopped.
Long Ki opened the door. A handsome man wearing purple stood outside with his fan covering his face. "Yukiya? Wow, who are you? You look hunky.. Me likey," the man giggled. Unlike a normal man's giggle, it was not that bad to hear.
"Thanks, what are you here for?" He said.
The man pepped into the room. But Long Ki hid it with his towering form. "I am looking for Yukiya. Tell her, her favourite MuMu is here. She even sent me a love letter," he said, pulling out a pink letter form his lapels.
Long Ki plucked it out of his hands and read it. It said, "new business idea, come here" and the town name on it. He glared at the new man. 'How dare he say his wifey wrote him a love letter,'
"Oops, slip of tongue. I meant lovely letter," the man giggled again. Suddenly he stepped close and sniffed. "Whoa, did you eat Yukiya or what. You reek of her scent."
Long Ki stepped further. This gave the man to prance in without any invitation. Long ki rushed and stopped him before he could go to the bedroom. "Get out!" he shouted.
"Geez, chill out. even if your Yukiya is stripped down, I will feel nothing down here," he gestured to his pants.
Yet still the dragon growled at him.
"Listen, I am interested in men. And men only. Yukiya is my sister, I have seen her naked multiple times," suddenly a hand threw him out the room.
"You dare speak of that again I will slice you," Long Ki shouted and slammed the door.
Mu Feng laughed out loud. "I didn't even finish my story but am already thrown out where is the patience in kids these days." He whispered. He had indeed seen Yukiya naked. It was when she was just a small fry, swimming around in that vast river.
He got up and patted his back. "Yukiya I know you are in there. Come out, come out, your darling is here," he shouted with a giggle.
Inside the room, Yukiya cursed. She had called him regarding the spirit crystal hoard. If it was not managed properly, the golden temple people might come back for trouble, so she called her trusted friend.
"I didn't think he will be here so soon. What to do?" She bit her lips and gazed at the dragon.
Long Ki raged. He had never met an infuriating man like that before. 'The audacious... that man, how dare he talk about my mate's naked body.' he thought in his mind as his talons expanded even more. His eyes turned golden red. His horns started protruding, his fangs elongated and his spine pulled down to form a thick tail.
While all of this was happening the Koi was still in her blanket cocoon. "Ki, can you give me your shirt?" she whispered in embarrassment. At first she didn't want to wear it but trying time need trying measures.
There was no reply to her whispered. She pulled back the duvet from her face and gazed up.
The red dragon was half transformed with and was actually burning red. "Ki? Oh my god, you are on fire!" she shouted and threw a water ball at him.
It instantly drenched him, but the next second the water evaporated.
"He dares!!" he growled.
"Who? Ki, what is wrong? You are scaring me," Yukiya whispered. He was not in a state to listen. She had heard rumours that when a dragon in rut is angered, it might cause some deviations in the cultivation. It was just a rumour, but the possibility scared the heck out of her.
She pulled on the nearby shirt and ran over to him. She gently held his hands. The flame burned it, but she ignored it. "Ki, look at me. Please... look at only me."
The dragon calmed down, and the flame went down significantly.
Yukiya cupped his face. "Think of nothing else but me," she whispered.
His eyes turned back to normal again.
"Dear, can you hear me?" she whispered softly.
"Yes..... Did I?" he held her burnt hands and frowned. 'I did this....I hurt her..." he cupped both of her hands and softly licked them. The burns healed before their eyes. He was thankful that his saliva had healing properties or else his mate would have a scar on her beautiful hand.
Yukiya caressed his face softly. "What happened?"
"That guy.... he annoyed me!" he complained like a little child. Truly, he really was annoyed. He knew that his mate might have past lovers before him and he was completely fine with that. But...... meeting them did not feel good.
