After shutting Chu Mu Yun away for so many days, Shen Shui Yan originally planned to bring him out for a walk, but of course, he would make sure to clear out the place first. At the very least, he could get some sun and move his muscles a little. Being shut in for such a long period of time may ruin his body no matter how good his physical qualities are.
But then…that happened with Chu Mu Yun.
Shen Shui Yan was standing by the door with a cold look in his eyes, almost like a cold layer of frost. "What's so good about Xie Qian Lan?"
But how could Chu Mu Yun understand his words? He only heard Xie Qian Lan, these three words. "I want to see him, I really want to…Mph…"
Before he could finish, Shen Shui Yan grabbed his mouth and forced him to take his words back.
Chu Mu Yun's healthy wheat-colored skin had now turned pale from lack of sun, but there was an unnatural red decorating his cheeks. His eyes were misty and looked lost from pent up desire…His appearance was so alluring that it made one wish to violate him, to humiliate him, and to destroy him!
Shen Shui Yan came close and spoke with a sense of listlessness in his suppressed voice, "Give up the thought, I won't let you see him. Or rather…You will not be seeing anyone else from now on…" He ripped off his already loose clothes and forcefully pressed him down.
Chu Mu Yun's spirit veered between enjoyment and longing. Clearly, he was given great joy, but that wasn't enough. It wasn't enough, it wasn't enough at all.
Why did he turn into this?
Chu Mu Yun couldn't understand. All he knew was that his physical cravings were so strong that it clouded his mind.
He loved Shen Shui Yan, but he began to hate him a little.
Why did he torture him and imprison him this way? Why did he have to bring their relationship to such an irrevocable point?
Through the constant cycle of being sober and being disoriented, Chu Mu Yun begged, "Xiao Yan, let me go. Please, just let me go."
The only thing he got in return to his sweet voice was Shen Shui Yan's brutal, more violent and vindictive possession.
It felt like he would never see the end of these days. Chu Mu Yun's body thinned down at an incredibly fast pace while Shen Shui Yan was going through his growth spurt. He was originally shorter than Chu Mu Yun, but now he was a little taller. He originally fit snugly in Chu Mu Yun's arms, but now, he could carry Chu Mu Yun.
Since he never came into contact with anyone else, Chu Mu Yun was deprived of even his clothes in his room. At first, Shen Shui Yan would still coax him patiently, but as he constantly begged to see Xie Qian Lan, Shen Shui Yan could no longer endure it. The only thing they did was make love each time he returned until he tormented Chu Mu Yun to the point where he passed out did he hold him in his arms, passing the night peacefully.
And as soon as he woke up, Chu Mu Yun's mouth would be filled with Xie Qian Lan.
So many weeks passed and though the two clearly shared the bed each night in their slumber, engaging in such intimate affairs, it had been a long time since the two had a good word with each other.
For the first time in his life, Shen Shui Yan felt powerlessness surging from his heart.
He had forgotten why he wanted this man, but if he wanted it, then he wanted it. This message was so simple that it surged through all the veins in his body.
He wanted him so much, so why couldn't he get him?
But the more he couldn't obtain him, the more he wanted him.
This was a vicious cycle without reprieve. The only thing Shen Shui Yan could manage was to 'have' him, and for the sake of his goals, he would do anything.
He formed a plan to harm Xie Qian Lan and imprisoned Chu Mu Yun so he would no longer look at anyone else, no longer hear any other voices, or have any contact with the outside world.
His possessiveness made it so that his world had to be filled with only him, but…
Even though he had his body, he couldn't have his heart.
He could control everything about Chu Mu Yun, but he couldn't control his thoughts.
Even though he clearly did everything a lover would do with him, the only one in his heart was Xie Qian Lan.
Where did he go wrong? Where? Where did he…make a mistake?
Why could something that already belonged to him get further and further from him?
Shen Shui Yan couldn't stand it!
Just as Chu Mu Yun was close to being 'destroyed', he suddenly calmed down.
Man's ability to adapt is terrifying. After being unable to obtain his desires after how long he thirsted for it, he finally adapted to this hunger.
That did not mean that he did not want it anymore. On the contrary, he wanted him even more. But he never went about it aimlessly. He began to think of a plan.
When Shen Shui Yan returned one day, he unexpectedly saw Chu Mu Yun standing calmly in front of the window.
He had become much thinner and his untied hair was scattered at his back, covering nearly his entire waist. When he heard the door, he turned around and there was a gentle look on his handsome face. "Xiao Yan."
Shen Shui Yan was stunned.
It had been a long time since he last called out to him. It had been so long since he heard his warm and moving voice.
Chu Mu Yun stepped over to him. "I was wrong to you in the past." He reached out to embrace him.
Shen Shui Yan's heart skipped a beat from being so close to him. "Ah Yun…"
Chu Mu Yun kissed his lips and took the initiative to intertwine his with him lovingly.
On this night, Chu Mu Yun kept calling Shen Shui Yan's name. He seemed to have forgotten about Xie Qian Lan and gave all of his intense, searing love to Shen Shui Yan.
The sudden bout of joy was somewhat hard for Shen Shui Yan to believe.
But for the next few days, Chu Mu Yun never mentioned Xie Qian Lan again. He seemed to have returned to those days a long time ago. He pampered Shen Shui Yan. He was the only one in his eyes.
He knew what he loved to eat, what he liked, he knew all of his habits, and he catered to all his wants.
After about a week, Shen Shui Yan finally let his guard down and took Chu Mu Yun out for a walk.
Chu Mu Yun was docile and quiet, and his eyes were completely fixed on Shen Shui Yan, as if the dazzling flowers in the background could not even compare with this young man.
Shen Shui Yan's heart felt like it was being tickled being looked at in such a way, and took him in this beautiful field of flowers.
Chu Mu Yun did not refuse him either. He was completely submissive to him and kept his eyes on him the whole time, calling out to him, enjoying it completely.
Shen Shui Yan received great satisfaction from this. He thought he finally got him.
Sure enough…He would get him in the end as long as he persisted. After all, he was his possession!
Chu Mu Yun's obeisance made it so that Shen Shui Yan no longer kept him so tightly locked up.
The scope of his movement now ranged from the residence to the back garden, and eventually covered the entire Heaven's Rain Palace.
But Shen Shui Yan dismissed everyone. Now, they really were the only two left in the large palace.
Chu Mu Yun even went to the lake at the back of the mountain to fish on a good day. His strength wasn't as good as before after having his cultivation sealed, so he was hurt all over after just catching several fish.
When Shen Shui Yan returned in the evening, he saw his favorite foods on the table, all prepared by Chu Mu Yun.
And when he saw the injuries on Chu Mu Yun's body, he couldn’t' help but frown. "You shouldn't do these things."
Chu Mu Yun smiled. "I made you fish cause you like it." After all, they were the only two people in the Heaven's Rain Palace.
Shen Shui Yan paused for a moment. "Do you want me to call the servants back?"
Chu Mu Yun shook his head. "No need. This is pretty good. It's peaceful."
These words pleased Chu Mu Yun very much. After their meal, Chu Mu Yun washed up the dishes a little clumsily but Shen Shui Yan raised his hand and dealt with them with a spell.
Watching this sight, a trace of despair flashed past Chu Mu Yun's eyes, but he didn't mention anything.
Shen Shui Yan saw it, but he pretended not to.
He carried Chu Mu Yun to the bathroom and the two soaked in the spiritual spring. Soon, their bodies intertwined.
Such wonderful days passed by very quickly. Chu Mu Yun went out to catch fish every day without a word of complaint and would cook them to Shen Shui Yan's taste after returning.
He went through several positions and pleasured Shen Shui Yan happily. It did not seem to take long till this young man who had been infatuated with him to begin with slowly fell into a sweet, gentle vortex, completely letting his guard down.
After returning once more to see Chu Mu Yun applying medicine to his own wounds, Shen Shui Yan finally said, "Let me break your seal."
Chu Mu Yun suddenly raised his head to him, but he quickly said, "No need, this is fine."
Shen Shui Yan kissed him and whispered, "As long as you're a good boy that looks only at me, and thinks only about me, then I won't be able to stand seeing you hurt in the slightest."
Chu Mu Yun's body trembled slightly.
Shen Shui Yan held him and let out a sigh between his neck, "Ah Yun, I like you. I like you so much."
Chu Mu Yun turned around to embrace him, leaning obediently on his chest and whispering in response, "Me too."
Shen Shui Yan's body stiffened visibly. Very quickly, he caught his shoulder and looked into his eyes, asking, "Ah Yun, who am I?"
Chu Mu Yun looked at him with a gentle gaze. "Xiao Yan. You're my Xiao Yan."
Shen Shui Yan's eyes were filled with joy and the corners of his lips bloomed into a smile, so dazzling and pure that it moved one's spirit.
Chu Mu Yun lowered his eyes slightly, a slight smile appearing on his lips as well.
After a lovingly sweet night together, the two slept in each other's arms till dawn.
And after the sun came up, Shen Shui Yan really removed the seal on Chu Mu Yun's cultivation.
A sense of disbelief filled Chu Mu Yun's eyes as he suddenly gained strength.
Shen Shui Yan kissed him. "Ah Yun, I want to eat rainfall fish. The biggest, freshest one!"
Rainfall fish were carnivorous fish and extremely aggressive. Chu Mu Yun wouldn't dare to go down into the water to catch it in the past, but now, he could easily do it by lifting his finger.
Chu Mu Yun smiled indulgently at him. "Sure, anything you want."
Shen Shui Yan was in a good mood for the whole day.
He finally achieved his wish. He had obtained Ah Yun completely.
He wanted these days to go on and on. As long as Chu Mu Yun belonged to him completely, he didn't mind giving him some more freedom.
What was love?
This might be it, right? Ah Yun loves him, he loves Ah Yun, the two can be together for a long time and have fulfilling days every day.
He liked Ah Yun, nothing in this world was better than Ah Yun.
Even those tasty rainfall fish couldn't compare to Ah Yun in the slightest.
Shen Shui Yan was looking forward to be able to return to the Heaven's Rain Palace earlier. He practically rushed home the moment he finished his work.
But when he returned to the gorgeous palace, what awaited him was a piercing emptiness.
