"This is not okay!" Long Ki whispered softly.
Yukiya glanced back at him and snickered. "Xia is very naïve. He might get hurt of I remove the mark," she whispered defensively. She knew in her heart that it was time to let loose of the reins. She believed her son but the world..... She did not believe that. Once she let him go, he almost got hurt she did not want to see that kind of situation happening anytime soon.
She pulled away from him and rolled herself in the duvet. There was an embarrassing wetness in-between her legs that she decided to ignore as of now.
Long ki softly massaged her shoulders. "He is a grown man, look the mark is blinking. It means he is having a sexual encounter with his lover as we speak," he pointed to the blinking lotus mark on her forearm.
Yukiya gritted her teeth. "No! I don't believe that! Xia does not have a lover. He might be coerced somehow," she said with a decisive hump. She refused to believe her cute little son was snatched by some hoodlum. No! Never! She will not let that happen.
Long ki sighed. He softly kissed her back and caressed her hair. "How are you so confident that he did not consent to this? Yukiya, this is not right," he whispered.
"I won't remove it." she refused without even looking back at him. There was a hint of guilt lurking around, but she refused to acknowledge it. 'My baby will not have lovers. He would not trust anyone like that,' she thought, biting her lips. She refused to talk about this anymore so she changed the topic. "Aren't you the same? You still have your contract with Raijin," she shot back defensively.
He massaged his aching head. The contact with Raijin was always a topic of conflict with his wifey. He did not know how to solve that either. "That's a different issue," he sighed.
She glanced back with her eyes narrowed. "No it's not. It's the same. You are reluctant to relinquish control, so am I," she said.
"This is not a competition,"
"But Ki.....I won't remove my enchantment no matter what," she firmly said and rolled over.
Long Ki pulled her close and hugged her tight but she shrugged his hands away and wormed away from him. "If I cancel my contract, would you also remove it?" he whispered finally.
This made the little worm Yukiya pause. She glanced back and smirked. "I might think about it," she whispered doubtfully. 'hehe silly'
"No I need your word for it," he said with his eyebrows raised.
"Nope, our discussion is over then," she said and got up from the bed. Her legs were completely soiled, so she rushed to the changing screen and cleaned herself.
After changing into her new clothes. She walked out and glance at him. He was still naked, lying around confidently on the bed. 'ahh, why does his body look so good? No, Yukiya, you should not relent in the face of beauty. Control yourself. You just had your first couple's fight with him. So walk away.' She told herself. But the perfect body was right in front of her. 'Anyway he is mine now. I can do {this and that} later,' she bit the kerchief and rushed out.
On the way she ran into Mu Feng squatting next to the door. He was chewing on a blade of grass with a bored expression on his face. "Ah look who finally exited her love cave," he exclaimed with an eye roll.
Yukiya blushed hard. "Why were you waiting outside, huh?"
"I came here to tell you about your dear son, xia,"
"I know already know," she said with an exited smirk. The fight with the silly dragon did dampen her mood, but the thought that her baby Xia was found made her happy.
"Really! Why are you guys separated in the first place? The possessive mother you are would not leave your baby behind anywhere," he said with a doubtful gaze.
"That is a big story," she started explaining how her chariot got toppled near kulin mountains and how she met the red dragon, how she got engaged ect...
Hearing all this Mu Feng whistled out loud. "Wow, you lucked out, girl. You bagged a prince,"
"that silly guy. I don't care if he is a prince if I had met him on the road as a homeless. I would have still taken him in. I mean...I don't like the guy but we are getting married....I can tolerate him. no, I stand corrected, He made me angry so we are cross right now.," Yukiya said wringing her kerchief.
Mu Feng could smell some gossip miles away. "Really? Looks like you are head over heels already,"
"Nooooo," she exaggerated her answer. She does not like him. Nope, not going to happen so soon. He has to woo her and win her heart.
"soooo you sleep with a person you didn't even like?" Mu Feng whispered with a naughty smirk.
This threw her off guard. "That made the situation sound way worse,"
Mu Feng nodded. "Yukiya, let me give you some advice. You are not the type to have one-night stands. If you like the guy then just say it. There is nothing wrong in it,"
She bit her lips and contemplated seriously. 'Do I really like him?'
The red dragon did not stop her. He watched her run away with a sigh. Raising his palm he gazed at the mark in-between. "Raijin..... What to do now. Am I really the villain here? Am I doing bad by trapping you as my pet? What should I do?"
He really missed his friend's wise mind. The soft sunlight trickled through the blinds and shone on his outstretched palm. Suddenly a thought arose. 'Maybe I should free you. My friend I..... I'm sorry for all the trouble I've put you through,' he thought to himself.
He summoned a small dagger from his ring and scratched it.. The contract enchantment shone brightly and disintegrated.
