Chapter 89
Doubling DownĀ
Gong Qiu Yu had been thinking this whole time and said thoughtfully, āif we are already marked by each other, that means there is no reason to not have a full mark which would protect us fully.ā
Not sure how to take those logically stated words, Xie Jie said with a little pout, āthat is not how I thought you would propose to us my dear Qiu Yu.ā
Fully understanding his insensitive words, Gong Qiu Yu blushed a deep red, āIām sorry my love, you are right.āĀ
Lightly taking Xie Jieās hand in his own, Gong Qiu Yu lifted it up to his lips and gently kissed his knuckles, āXie Jie my love, please mark me and make me your husband.ā
They all gasped and Xie Jieās love exploded through their link. Between his worry, surprise and deep overwhelming love for his Scholar, Xie Jie lost control and went to mark Gong Qiu Yu on the spot.Ā
Dun Guanlian held Xie Jie fast with his chains, and inside his head cried urgently, āyou canāt now! Your mark took all night of Hao Kong cultivating to settle into his body properly. If you mark Gong Qiu Yu now you wonāt be able to go rescue Chu Ling till tomorrow,ā his voice went shy as he continued, āand we donāt want āourā man to be in the handās of that love demon any longer than is necessary.ā
After a long moment of struggling Xie Jie sagged into the powerful chains, he knew his lover was right, he had to hold back for now.Ā
Feeling his incubus had regained control, Dun Guanlian sighed in relief and gently wrapped round his shoulders.Ā
Looking into his beautiful scholarās love filled eyes, Xie Jie said softly, āGong Qiu Yu my love, I want nothing more than to mark you all, but Dun Guanlian just told me, āit took a full night of cultivating for Hao Kongās mark to settle into his body.āā
Instantly understanding the implications, Gong Qiu Yu kissed his incubus briefly and said, āmy honoured Dun Guanlian, may I kiss your chain to thank you.ā
In response, Dun Guanlianās end unwrapped from Xie Jieās shoulders and laid in Gong Qiu Yuās out stretched hands.Ā
Dropping his head down, Gong Qiu Yu put his thin lips to the hard metal and gently kissed each smooth link.
Inside his head Xie Jie heard Dun Guanlian moan gently and say, āIām having fun with him later.ā
From Luo Baiās arms, Zhou Tu said, āthen we had better get going.ā
Looking down at his young disciple, Luo Bai said in a tender tone, āI donāt think you should go my dear Zhou Tu,ā he tightened his embrace a little, āI donāt want anything happening to you.ā
Smiling at his powerful loverās concern, Zhou Tu replied, āIām not going into the cave but I am going with you, Iāll wait out side and help if needed. Please make sure Iām not needed, my lovely Luo Bai.ā Going up on to tip toes he gently pecked his manās lips.
āI will keep you safe.ā Replied Luo Bai solemnly and pecked his discipleās lips back.

After a hectic few minutes, they were dressed in full plain leather armour over their robes, stood outside the Leaders spiritual caves ready to depart Snow Mist Peak.Ā
Drawing their swords ready to take flight, they looked to Xie Jie unsure if he could fly with Dun MĆrĆ©n.Ā
Seeing their menās looks, Dun MĆrĆ©n said in her incubusās mind, āI could take you if you like, or we could go with one of our men.ā
Understanding her meaning, Xie Jie said, āhusband would you give me a lift please.ā
Grinning, Hao Kong wrapped his free arm around his husbandās waist, he received a tight hug in return and enjoyed the familiar delight of Xie Jieās tail snaking round his waist.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Dun Guanlian wrapped around both of them holding them gently together, Hao Kong was shocked and delighted by the gentle caress of his Masterās chains.
Seeing everyone was ready, Luo Bai threw out his sword and let it pull him into the air for the short trip down the mountain. The others followed close behind, all quiet in their worry as they flew to the cave they believed the love demon to be in.
~
The cave was on the side of a small foot hill, a little way off from the bottom of Snow Mist Peak. The little hill was mostly covered in a dense forest of ever greens, from above the cave mouth they could see down into a little clearing in the trees.Ā
Staying aloft, Luo Bai said to Zhou Tu, āstay out here, we will go check this is the right...ā
A dark haired young man dressed in a white robe with a red belt came running out of the cave, his hair was hanging loose over his ghostly pale frightened face, looking over his shoulder in fear he stumbled in his haste to get away.Ā
Moving on instinct, Luo Bai flew down and caught the young man before he hit the ground.Ā
Franticly the man yelled, āyou have to get out of here! There is a love demon in there it has my Leader! I couldnāt...āĀ
The disciple finally recognised the face in front of him, he grabbed Luo Baiās robes in his fists and begged in panting breaths, āplease you have to help Leader Chu! He ordered me to run, Iām so sorry I couldnāt save him.ā The man collapsed forwards and cried against his Leaderās chest.
Gently Luo Bai held him in a loose embrace, trying to comfort him enough to be able to ask him about Chu Ling.
The next second, a woman in black robes with purple trim and a black mask covering the top half of her face ran out of the cave.Ā
In an instant Dun Guanlian whipped out and clipped her on the back of the neck, knocking her out cold.Ā
Explicitly trusting the ancient artefact, the others ignored the unconscious lady for now and landed around Luo Bai. They were worried for the disciple, but glad they were in the right place and to hear Chu Ling was still fighting.
Putting both hands on the manās shoulders, Luo Bai carefully pushed the young disciple slightly back from his chest so he could look into his eyes, and said, āDisciple, you did the right thing getting out of there before you were repossessed, we are here to help, can you tell me what is going on?ā
The man took a deep calming breath and said, āthere are lots of possessed people in there, but they are in chaos because Leader Chu is resisting and he is so...ā the man in Luo Baiās arms blushed bright red, mortified he put his hands to his crotch.Ā
To the discipleās surprise, his fierce honoured Leader said, ākeep that thought in mind, it will keep you safe from repossession. Can you tell me where Leader Chu and the love demon are?ā
Trying to ignore the fact he was in his honoured Leaderās arms with a huge erection, the man said as calmly as he could, āyou just keep going straight, follow the shouting and you will come to a huge cavern. Leader Chu is bound in ethereal rope on the far wall.ā
They all tensed further, ethereal rope was made thousands of years ago for the purpose of enslaving cultivators, it bound their powers making them vulnerable.
Looking up at his lovers, Luo Bai said, āDisciple Zhou please take this Disciple back to Snow Mist Peak, then return with help, but donāt enter the cave.ā
Following his Leaderās gaze, the disciple saw Zhou Tu and threw himself into his arms.
Trying to ignore the man spear pushing into his abdomen, Zhou Tu hugged the other disciple back, āBrother Wu Iāll get you home, I bet Master Pan has been going crazy looking for you.ā
Crying into his friendās shoulder, Disciple Wu sobbed, āIt was horrible Brother Zhou, if it wasnāt for Leader Chu I...I...ā
Pulling his friend round behind him, Zhou Tu said softly, āI know how horrible it is, I was possessed too, but you are safe now. Hold on Iām going to get you out of here.ā
With his friend holding tight, Zhou Tu threw out his sword and they disappeared into the sky.
The others moved over and looked at the unconscious lady, Gong Qiu Yu picked up her long staff and said, āthatās the robes of a necromancer; this could be problematic.āĀ
Luo Baiās brows lowered with determination, āWhat ever happens we will deal with it, all be on guard.ā
Fight scene!
