A Secret Relationship

Seeing that I'm awake, Xiulan ordered her two servants to leave the room and stay on guard. They obeyed promptly before closing the door behind themselves.

After confirming she was alone with me, she sat down on the edge of my bed and let out a sigh. ‘It seems that your luck has held out once more.’ I stared blankly at her for a second before smiling happily. She smacked my head and asked ‘Why are you smiling? Your arm and shoulder are broken! What were you even thinking by trying to absorb his power at such close range?’

I shrugged my shoulders and told her that I'm sorry.

Xiulan sighed again before reaching out and gently massaging my leg. ‘Hmph, whatever. Be grateful that you've made it this far despite using such a dangerous technique. Don’t expect everyone in the inner sect to have weak cultivation bases like Mugen. The next person you go up against may be even stronger than you and try to kill you if you make the same mistakes.’ Her hand then made its way underneath my blanket.

If any other person from the sect saw the current Xiulan he would be shocked. Xiulan was known for her harshness and cold attitude.

She wasn't known to smile often either.

However, this time it was different.

The one I’m with now is the real her. No masks, no pretending. Just her.

She giggled softly to herself before she unbuttoned my pants and proceeded to stroke my penis. ‘How about a little reward for making it this far?’

My eyes widened as I stared at her in shock. This was another hidden side of Xiulan. She was a big pervert. I discovered this during the early days of our relationship. Xiulan at the time was very inexperienced both in love or sex. However she was very eager to learn. Sometimes I wonder if my devours technique is the reason she fell for me. Does she want me because of the power I can grant her? Or does she truly have feelings for me?

In the end it doesn't matter. As long as I am happy, that is all I need. Her soft slender fingers wrapped around my penis and stroked it gently. A wave of pleasure spread through my body. A moan slipped from my lips which only encouraged Xiulan further.

*Knock knock*

Xiulan's face dropped before she quickly covered my lower half with the blanket. Her face had again transformed into a cold beauty.

She then went and sat on a chair located beside the bed before saying in a cold voice ‘Come in.’

The door creaked open slowly.

It was none other than the Inner Sect elder who hosted the tournament earlier. Seeing Xiulan here seemed to confuse him. ‘Young mistress, what are you doing here?’ He questioned. Xiulan smirked and replied in her cold tone ‘What business is it of yours, elder Wang?’

Elder Wang took a step back as if he was afraid of offending her. ‘N-nothing of course!’

Xiulan nodded before gesturing him to continue speaking. Elder Wang nervously spoke up. ‘Well you see... Aki here needs to come with me to receive his new robes and be introduced to the inner sect.’

I noticed that Xiulan's expression changed into a look of disappointment at hearing these words. She hid it quickly though, showing only indifference on her face. ‘Well get moving then. I have other matters to attend to. ’ With that she stood up and stormed out of the room leaving me alone with the elder.

‘Please follow me, Mr. Aki.’

I hesitantly did as he asked, following him outside the infirmary and towards the main courtyard of the sect where the inner and outer sect disciples resided.

Several other disciples stopped to stare at us as we passed them by. Their looks varied from jealousy, envy, disdain or anger. Most likely the ones giving me dirty glances must have participated in the tournament and lost.

Only the strong survive. The weak die. These people have yet to understand this rule properly.
