The sudden battle with the Three Clouds Alliance trio went as well as it could have given the circumstances. His two helpers, Qiu Chuyi and Tie Buqun, were tried after a long day of flying around and sieging defensive shield arrays. Spirit Lords still had to rest. They couldn't compete with him in terms of stamina. They only had one soul while he could call upon all the souls within his soul realm.
He didn't want those two fighting with the bandit immortals. They would not have fared well against that strange cloud art. The worst case was one of them losing their lives. Tired people made bad decisions, even if they were immortals.
Chasing them away was the best he could do without revealing his true strength as a Spirit King. That would also result in unwanted consequences. He was here using Chen Mo's soul. Pushing the full might of the Spirit King Realm blue dragon through Chen Mo would put the shadow fox out of commission for a long time. That was something he couldn't afford right now. When his main soul returned from the Temple of the Clouds, he would feel much more reassured.
The evening was quiet and calm. Long Yifei wanted to cultivate Winter's Snow Dance alone so Chen Wentian obliged. He flew up to the nearest mountain peak which was not far away. He wasn't looking for solace but for company.
Xuan Xina was there, staring up at the clear, cold sky. Standing amidst the snow and ice, she looked especially captivating. It reminded him of their little tryst in the hallways of the Order's campus before they had set out.
"What do you think?" He asked as he landed beside her.
"About what?"
"About our performance today. Surely, you have observed other sacred daughters and their acolytes during bandit extermination operations?"
She finally turned to him, "I have. As for you, you're alright. I suppose you won't end up at the bottom but nowhere near the top of the rankings. Sacred daughters like Wei Shuangshuang have a Spirit King acolyte and endless resources backing them."
Chen Wentian simply smiled at that and looked up at the sky. Seeing that her verbal jab had no effect, Xuan Xina ground her foot into the ice in frustration.
"How did you convince those two Spirit Lords to fight for you? They should be from Beast God Sanctum, right? Why do they bow around you and obey your commands?" She asked.
His smile widened, "Perhaps… I have a powerful, domineering aura that naturally attracts admiration and obedience?"
She snorted, "Ridiculous… Why did you show mercy to those bandits in the beginning? Even an idiot would have known that they would betray you at any moment."
"Maybe… I am a cultured and elegant person, a well-read and virtuous soul who only resorts to violence as the last resort?"
This time, she couldn't help but giggle. She quickly stopped herself and glared at him as if that was his fault.
"You're two-faced, full of trickery. You displayed a weak personality against the bandits on purpose. And then, you displayed excessive arrogance in front of the bandit lords to catch them off guard. Who knows what kind of schemes you used to gain influence over the Beast God Sanctum? Tell me, when have you ever been taken advantage of? From your exploits, you are always the one taking advantage of others."
Chen Wentian turned to her and closed the distance in two quick steps. His aura surged and he caught her hands before she could do anything. He leaned into her with a playful grin.
"You're right, Xina. I am just a scoundrel who takes advantage of others. So… shall take advantage of you for a while?"
"You… mmmm!"
He covered her mouth with his. Hugging her tight, he felt her writhe in protest for a moment before giving in. Her body melted into his like ice before a bonfire. Her mouth opened with a soft sigh and he could finally taste her.
She was a little sweet, a little melancholy, completely different from all of his disciples. He had only ever been with one other woman aside from them. Immortal Phoenix Legend Shi Shi, she reminded him of her. Immortal women were always so complicated.
"Wha…" She mumbled when he pulled away.
She seemed almost reluctant.
"Remember that night, in the hallway?" He whispered.
She blushed, "You… what are you trying to do?"
He chuckled, "I already took advantage of you back then. So… why don't you take advantage of me tonight? It's only fair."
He still held her hands. He guided one of them down and toward the anxious and eager little dragon that was trying to escape. She gasped like a bashful virgin when she felt him. Thinking about it, she was indeed one.
"This is how you make me feel. Don't be shy." He urged.
A hole opened in his pants and her cold hands met his fiery rod. He sucked in a breath. Her cool touch was just what he needed. It felt so good.
"Heavens…" She whispered.
Unconsciously, her hand slid up and down his shaft, still wrapped tightly around his girth. She was exploring, at first uncertainly but quickly gaining confidence. She examined him, feeling the veins, the tuft of hair at the base, the soft and sensitive tip, and everything in between.
Quietly, softly, she held his cock and gave him a handjob. Two immortals standing atop a lonely, snow-capped peak, it was a curious sight for any passing birds brave enough to look.
It was intimate. It was hot. It was a thrilling experience for both sides. The freshness of her touch drove the pleasure to levels that Chen Wentian rarely experienced, even with his disciples. For her, she felt a growing closeness to this annoying man, a dislikable trickster, a complete mystery that she could not figure out. Regardless of what happened in the future, she felt that her fate had already intertwined with this person. She wanted to extricate herself but it seemed impossible.
His cock twitched in her hand and she stopped her motions.
"Don't stop," Chen Wentian groaned, "I'm close."
"Oh," Xuan Xina blushed and continued.
One stroke, two strokes, three, then four. His cock jerked wildly, coming to life with her grasp. The first spurt flew past her, landing in the snow. Another came, then another. She gasped and watched in rapt silence. His scent filled her nose and made her dizzy. She felt a surge of dampness between her legs and she almost lost her balance.
Her hand ended on the tip of his cock and he finished in her palm, leaving a small white pool. It felt hot against her skin as if she was being burned. She looked at it for a long time like it was most irresistible thing in the world. Then, without any possible reason, she raised her hand to her mouth and swallowed his seed, licking her palm clean in the process.
Chen Wentian was stunned for an equally long time before he fixed his pants and hugged her, "Xina, you didn't have to do that."
"I just wanted to," She argued but she hugged him back.
"Mmhm," He agreed, "You can do anything you want to do."
"Jerk." She muttered.
She was a cold and aloof person on the outside. But inside, she yearned for someone to hold her. Perhaps this was why she didn't object to the Order's mission. Regardless, she was a good woman and he didn't have the heart to mistreat her.
"Xina, in the following days, I will have to focus on my sacred daughter and the bandits. Despite what you think of me, I won't take advantage of you anymore… that is, unless you want me to," He gave her a cheeky grin.
With that, he quickly flew away, nothing waiting for her response.
