86 Chapter 80
Needless to say, after what had happened, Ai was more or less put on 'house arrest'. Sure he could still go to the study and pill making room, but he was never alone. If Elder Fei was free, he would be around to teach the youth. When Elder Fei had to step out to handle sect matters, then either Wang or Mo Chou was around. Usually the two were together. This was only due to the fact that Wang didn't wish to be away from Ai to long, and Mo Chou was untrustworthy. The later also thought the same for Wang. Thus they'd just hang about in the background, glaring at one another.
The only bright side to this whole deal, was that Ai no longer had to hide his spiritual beast form from his master! Though it was a bit awkward to be stared down at the elder after it was officially outed. They didn't really know what else to say? How was one to explain the abnormal being that was Ai? A heavenly Spirit that the rest of the spiritual beast all greatly treasured, while also being able to not only take human form before his rank was high enough, but he was also able to male pills? Clearly this was illogical!
Wang, as if feeling much happier that the first issue was placed out, decided that he should also make known his relationship with the youth. Clearly stating that they were together, and should also share the same room. It would help out being as something was targeting the youth, and no one could answer who was doing so. Thus with his status as 'husband' sleeping in the same room not only helped keep the male safe, but was only natural. Clearly, that one hadn't gone so well. Not only had the Elder huffed and rolled his eyes, even Mo Chou seemed unwilling to believe such a thing. What Cultivator and Spiritual beast becoming husband and 'wife'? Impossible.
Ai himself didn't remember the wedding, so he'd never really said anything about it. However, they did have some kind of relationship. He wouldn't be as thick skinned as Wang to admit it, but he's feelings clearly were there. Otherwise, how else could he spend a few weeks pining over the other as he was out? Unable to stop thinking of him until he finally returned? IT was when Wang had taken him into his arms, that Ai finally realized what was causing his depressed mood. Now, when he wasn't focused on his own cultivation, he was nuzzled up with Wang unwilling to part. It just felt right to him.
Of course, Wang wouldn't deny his loves wishes, and would often relish in his time cuddling with Ai. This would make not only Elder Fei seem a bit put off, but also Mo Chou was greatly affected. When Wang was busy with his own training, it some how always doubled. The little faults that others would ignore was brought up over and over again. Wang would have to do the same stances 50 times before Mo Chou would barely allow him to move on to the next one. As if unwilling to do so, but not wanting to stick with the same thing for so long. He often called Wang stupid because of this.
Hua was spending this time trying to smuggle her way inside the inner palace of the Elder's peak. Often hanging around other Pill Makers, learning as a 'dedicated' student. However, she wasn't suited for Pill making, it was very clear after the first two times she'd completely failed as simply separating the herbs before even using the cauldron. What more, she'd even ruined the simplest thing a pill maker can make at the start. Now when she tried to enter the Pill making room, not only Elder Fei, but everyone else wished nothing more than to chase her off before she ruined something they had been working.
Huffing, Hua had to move to a different means, trying to get in through Mo Chou, who she hadn't realized was also a spiritual beast. This as only because the Lion only showed his human form when he was training with the outer Disciples. Whenever she'd show up for his classes, it only took five minutes before the silly girl found her way tossed back out after causing a distance int he class due to 'feeling tired' or some other silly thing that normally worked to get pity. Her logic was, that if she were 'hurt' or to 'tired' after training, clearly the next step would to offer her something to drink, or a place to rest yeah?
No, she just got a one way ticket back out. This went on for several weeks before Hua was about to pull her hair out. Clearly she was trying everything, however it as harder than ever to get even a glimpse of Ai. What, was he some treasure?! Why was he so secured?! Hua half wanted to swear that Ai was some weird cheat. Clearly there was no reason for one person to have such good luck. Maybe her big mouth was finally going to bite her in the end? Clearly she couldn't do as promised and get Ai somewhere where the Sect leader could get him.
Just as Hua was finally about to give up for the day, she saw Ai finally making his way out of the inner palace. Next to him was Wang, who seemed unhappy as he followed the youth out of the elders inner area, making their way towards the base of the peak. Though she wasn't sure why they were leaving, Hua quickly began to tail them, trying to get close enough to figure out what was going on. Clearly this was her chance! If not, then when else could she catch Ai when he wasn't hidden away?!
"Why do you need to go get it? I could clearly go myself, you should stay back in the study." Wang stated, clearly he was unhappy with Ai's actions of leaving. However the youth seemed to not care as he hummed to himself, walking along without pause. "Because you always mix them up before giving them to me, I want to get ones that can't be handled randomly. You might cause a poor reaction and make them wastes." he stated uncaring to why Wang was upset. "Besides, its not like I'm alone, aren't you here with me?" he stated turning to glance up at the larger male, bating his eyes at him in an innocent manor.
Wang felt his heart skipping slightly while he pressed his lips, unable to stay angry at the adorable expression he was getting. He had to admit, that Ai's actions towards him had really warmed up since he'd had to leave for that trip. Giving a faint smile, the larger male nodded while patting his chest. "Yes. I am here, so no worries." He then stated. His pride was large and he didn't want to admit to his own actions of being against this before. Wasn't this his chance to show off ah? So what if something was trying to get Ai, he'd show it a thing or two! Yes.
The two continued on the path, both pleased with themselves for different reasons as they made their way down. Hua who had followed along smirked to herself before pausing part way down the path. Finally a chance! Even if he wasn't really alone, it was better than nothing right? Surely the Sect Leader could handle dealing with Wang. It wasn't like that damn Combat Elder or Fogey was there to protect Ai anymore. Thus Hua quickly took off into the direction of the sect leader's Peak. Her mood much better than it had been in many weeks. Today she wouldn't have to be lectured or threatened! Ah, her life was finally going to start looking up.
Quickly slipping into the hidden entrance that only she used, Hua made her way to the Sect Leader's Private study. Knocking on the door, she quickly straightened herself up to seem less rushed while waiting for him to allow her in. It only took a moment, but finally the doors opened and Hua made her way into the room, keeping her head down as she did.
"I hope you have news. Other wise I don't know why you would show up here." the voice called out, seeming rather annoyed. How often had this idiot come to see him, with nothing useful? Only wishing to state how many times she failed instead? If he didn't have a use for her, she'd already of been tossed out to suffer.
Hua shuddered slightly while feeling goosebumps going along her arms. Shaking the feeling, she gave a weak smile up at the elder while bowing slightly. "I came to report that Ai has left the peak to get herbs. The only one with him is the boy who arrived with him." she said. Though she wanted Wang for himself, she'd also decided that if she couldn't have him, then maybe no one should be able to. Yes a girl with nothing left wouldn't hesitate to take all actions.
The sect leader let a long hum before nodding, sending Hua out again with a wave. Once he was a lone, the eerie grin placed on his once blank face would send shivers. "Finally…lets go see the new toy yeah?" he then stated, glancing to the side as a shadow flickered about in the corner of the room. If one hadn't tried to look for it, it wouldn't of been noticed.
