Against Heaven's Will

Xuefeng scratched his head helplessly. He wasn't brave enough to reject Golden Queen after just finishing on her daughter's tongue.

"Xinyu, your mom wants to talk to you," Xuefeng called out as he turned around, but his eyes quickly widened. 

He thought he bought enough time for Xinyu to dress up, but she was still in her underwear, walking towards the doors with a smile. He gave her signs with his eyes but she didn't react, skipping towards him without much worry. 

"Mom, I'm here," Xinyu announced calmly as she hugged Xuefeng from behind, leaning her chin on his shoulder. "Something happened?" 

Golden Queen blinked as she gazed at the two of them. 

"Something happened…?" She repeated, showing a teasing smile. "I think it should be me asking this question. Why are you in Xuefeng's room this early in the morning?" 

Xinyu grinned as she cuddled into Xuefeng's neck, kissing and rubbing boldly. 

"Mom, you are old enough to know why. I spent the night here learning some amazing techniques," Xinyu replied as she reached to the front, rubbing against Xuefeng's erection. "Xuefeng was a good teacher. I learned a lot." 

"I see…" Golden Queen muttered, watching her daughter intensely. 

"Is that bad?" Xinyu asked, slipping her hands inside Xuefeng's towel. "You suggested it earlier to me and I just took your advice. I can only thank you. I have never had so much fun as today." 

Xuefeng could barely keep the towel on and with Xinyu's hands roaming inside, it was getting more and more difficult. He wanted to speak up and explained what exactly happened, but recalling Nuwa's words, he remained silent while observing the situation. 

"Did I say it's bad? I'm actually happy you two are getting to know each other," Golden Queen expressed. "I only worry that you two might be moving too fast, don't you think?" 

"It's okay, Mom. We are both young and healthy adults. We know what's good and what's bad," Xinyu assured. "There aren't many guys who can stand on my level besides Xuefeng so why should I search for someone else? I might as well rely on him to teach me the way of Dual Cultivation. He is my father's disciple which is enough as qualifications." 

Golden Queen raised her eyebrows as she turned to Xuefeng instead.

"You didn't give my daughter any love potions, did you?" she asked casually, causing Xuefeng to finally step in and pull Xinyu's hands from his towel. 

"No, I didn't," Xuefeng shook his head, pulling Xinyu to the side. "She came inside my room on her own accord. I didn't force her to do anything, right?" 

"Yes, I asked to come in," Xinyu confirmed eagerly, hugging his side. "I enjoyed everything we did." 

"Xinyu, can you come up to me for a second?" Golden Queen broke Xinyu's flirt, but she didn't complain, walking up to her. 

Golden Queen didn't say anything else and only reached to Xinyu's chest. When she lifted her finger with a bit of Xuefeng's Golden Liquid on the tip, he couldn't help but sweat a little. 

"What is this?" Golden Queen asked curiously and before they could respond, she put the finger in her mouth. 

"Mom, no! It's—" Xinyu tried to stop her but it was too late. 

"Mhmmm?!" Golden Queen's face brightened momentarily as she tasted the liquid, her tongue moving around in her mouth. 

She immediately glanced at Xuefeng as if she just realized what she ate. 

"This… I probably shouldn't have done that…" Golden Queen muttered as she covered her mouth, blushing while low key panicking. 

"Mom… Do you know what did you just eat?" Xinyu asked speechlessly. "It was Xuefeng's—"

"Don't say it out loud, I know," Golden Queen cut her off by covering her mouth. "Let's keep it between us, alright? If your dad learns about it then we are both doomed."

"Mhmm," Xinyu nodded immediately. 

'Fuck…' Xuefeng cursed at the scene, wanting to facepalm himself. 'Did she do it on purpose?' 

He couldn't believe Golden Queen would make such a mistake. Just as he expected, Golden Queen swiftly returned back to normal as if nothing happened. 

"Anyway, get dressed and prepare for breakfast. Your dad wanted to eat together," Golden Queen informed before looking at Xuefeng. "You all are invited as well if you want to join us." 

"I think we are good. I didn't sleep at all tonight so I want to rest a bit before the tournament starts," Xuefeng rejected politely, knowing how awkward it would be. "Thank you for the offer though." 

"Alright." Golden Queen didn't pressure him, actually looking relieved at his answer. 

"Xuefeng," Xinyu called out his name as she suddenly jumped on him, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Thank you for today's lesson. I can't wait for the next one."

She didn't let him answer before their lips locked in a deep kiss. She wasn't at all embarrassed in front of her mother, but he wasn't exactly normal. His towel already dropped to the ground as he caught her on instinct, making him poke her directly in the stomach. 

He already decided not to do anything with Golden Queen so showing himself naked only made it worse. 

"Wait, don't go," Xuefeng hugged Xinyu just as she tried to pull away, surprising her. 

"Why…?" Xinyu asked confused, but he only grasped her bottom affectionately. "Can't I just hug you a little more? You said you didn't mind it." 

His words caused her lips to curve, showing a genuine smile. He knew he might regret it later but it was better than enticing Golden Queen more. 

"I don't mind it…" Xinyu replied as she tightened her hug. "I actually like it…" 

"Mhmm, me too," Xuefeng agreed and looked up at Golden Queen. "Miss Golden, we will see each other later on the Tournament then. Enjoy your meal." 

She squinted her eyes but understood his hidden message. 

"Sure, you too enjoy," Golden Queen wished and reminded right before disappearing. "Don't forget about our session later." 

With her gone, only he and Xinyu remained, still clinging to each other. He could feel her heart beat at an increased pace which made him worried. 

"Mhmm… It feels nice," Xinyu commented. "I might get addicted to this… Can I get more if I do?"

"Well, if it's just this much then it should be okay," Xuefeng agreed hesitantly but that was enough for her. 

She pulled away on her own and give him a goodbye kiss. 

"I will count on you then, teacher."

"Wow… How did you convince the guard to let us in? Weren't all tickets sold out already?" Jiao questioned as they passed the gates of the Arena. 

They have been traveling all night to reach the Tournament in time but all she wanted was to watch from outside. Who would have thought that Dandan would find a way to bring them inside. She couldn't help but shiver from excitement. 

"Hehe, don't ask questions. Just enjoy," Dandan played it cool as she remained mysterious. "I only made them let us in. It's not like we are going to have any seats. We might need to stand on the stairs instead." 

The whole arena was already booming with cheers as they found no one in the Arena Lobby. Everyone was eagerly anticipating the start of the Finals. 

"It's alright, I don't mind," Jiao replied happily. "As long as I can see him from the distance, I will be satisfied." 

"You don't want to meet him in person?" Dandan questioned surprised. "How are you feeling?" 

Jiao shrugged. "I'm good. I thought it will be worse but maybe it's cause I don't really expect to meet him. I just want to see if he is doing alright…" 

She had a lot of time to figure out her plan but the more she thought, the more she realized how behind she was. Unless she improved, there was simply no point in meeting him. 

"Then that's fine. You are going to see him now," Dandan said as she pulled her through the entrance. 

They already heard the crowd shouting someone's name but only when the sunlight fell on their faces and the arena displayed in front of them were they able to discern the name. 

"Xuefeng! Xuefeng! Xuefeng!"

It was him! They were calling for him! 

Just from hearing his name, Jiao's heartbeat launched to its limits as she searched through the arena in panic. Too bad, no matter how much she searched, she couldn't find him. 

There were one hundred and twenty-six people standing in the middle of the dusty Arena but she couldn't spot Xuefeng and Tianshi anywhere. Before she could figure out what happened, the voice of a Commentator disturbed her thoughts. 

"Ladies and Gentlemen! This is the moment everyone has been waiting for! Let's invite to the stage, the one and only power couple! His beautiful wife, Xiao Tianshi, and the man himself, LIU XUEFENG!"
