The kiss completely enamoured Xiaolin to notice her elder sister coming in. She was literally on her master's lap, clutched to him and his lips, her heart filled with warmth and desire.
Xiaolin yelped, feeling the warmth and something else growing under her. This wasn't the first time she was feeling that thing, but it still startled her enormously. She ended the kiss with a start, lurching her head back to finally notice the figure standing beside the door.
"Elder Sister!" Xiaolin hissed, lurching up from Gale's lap. Her upper robe was almost undone, as much of her skin was showing alongside the blouse.
Wang Li's eyes widened with a faint blush on her cheeks in contrast to Xiaolin's tomato shade.
"I'll come back later," the innkeeper said, and left, ignoring anything Xiaolin said.
"Don't go," Xiaolin said after her, "Elder Sister! This isn't what you think. . ."
She turned to her master, who simply raised an eyebrow, surprised that he didn't notice Wang LI coming in either.
"Sorry," Gale apologised, "I guess I was too engrossed in the intimacy to notice her either."
"Master!" Xiaolin squeaked, clutching her clothes. "She saw it. How am I going to meet her eyes, I. . ."
"Slow down, Linlin," Gale said, standing up. "It wasn't like she saw anything more than us kissing. Besides, you two bathed and slept in the same bed countless times to have this talk with me."
"But. . ." Xiaolin's voice came as a squeak, obvious shame in her tone. "She saw me doing those things, I. . ."
Gale scoffed and caught her from behind. He kissed her bare shoulder, sending shivers through her spine as Xiaolin squeaked again in surprise.
"Hmm," Gale whispered into her ears, "are you suggesting that you never had the adult talk with your elder sister so long you stayed with her?"
"Master please,' Xiaolin whined.
"You know, your elder sister had put good words for you, not that you lacked anything," Gale said, holding her close from behind, his warm manhood pressing against her back.
"Master!" Xiaolin let out a hot breath, knowing exactly what stuck to her back. "Please, not now. I beg of you."
Gale didn't need to think for more to loosen his grip on her, understanding completely that the more he went forward, the worse the situation would be for him. He had been unspent for months; he wasn't sure how far he could go before he would go completely berserk.
Sadly, Xiaolin was still a maiden of heart and body. Although he educated her in kissing and intimacy, she still had much to learn. Not to mention, she was clearly uncomfortable after her elder sister saw them.
Xiaolin sighed in relief after getting out of Gale's clutches.
"Fine," Gale croaked, distinguishing the burning desire in him. "Let's go meet your elder sister."
"Mmm," Xiaolin hummed and was about to leave, but halted, noticing something in him.
"What is it?" Gale asked.
"Master," Xiaolin intoned, "I'm really sorry."
There was no doubt that Xiaolin was feeling ashamed, ashamed that she couldn't continue further, ashamed that she couldn't give her everything to her master.
"It's alright," Gale said.
"Master," Xiaolin hissed, clinging to his arm with her both palms, "maybe we can continue this later?"
Gale picked up his eyebrows. "Really? When?"
Xiaolin thought for a moment to find the time and place where the two of them could be alone.
"I'll stay awake and keep the door of my room open for you."
Xiaolin didn't even meet his gaze after she said that. She simply lurched out of there, rushing into the inn, clutching her robes.
***
The hall of the inn was empty save for the decorated chairs, tables, lights, and the innkeeper who seemed to be having too many drinks on her own.
Wang Li swallowed down all the contents of her glass in one go and noticed the Master disciple pair approaching. Xiaolin's clothes were still ruffled, and so was her makeup. She could easily find signs of her make-up on Gale.
Even if she hadn't seen them on the veranda, it wouldn't be too hard for her to understand what they were up to after coming back from the festival. She felt a grudge against them for keeping her awake and alone in the cold.
Unconsciously, Wang Li glowered at the two of them, pouring another glass of drink. She drank, meeting their gazes, unaware she already had a little too much alcohol in her system.
The master practitioner was completely unfazed, but the same couldn't be said about his disciple. Xiaolin crept next to her with a blushing face and clutched her from the side.
Wang Li wasn't sure if she'd ever see this girl blushing this brightly. She really looked like an otherworldly fairy with all the charm and glamour. Wang Li guessed love does make a difference.
"Elder Sister," Xiaolin said, hugging her from the side.
"Mmm," Wang Li hummed, making another drink for her. "Since you guys returned, why don't you change and refresh yourself?"
"In a minute," Gale said as he sat across from her in the front seat of the counters. He sniffed the drink she was brewing and took the glass from her.
"Hey! That's my glass."
But the master practitioner didn't seem to care of hear her.
"Thank you," Gale said, and sniffed the drink once more. He took a sip, testing.
Wang Li wasn't sure if he drank knowingly that she had drunk directly from that glass, or not.
"You brew this?" Gale asked, after assessing his first sip.
"Yes," Wang Li said, narrowing her eyes, "and most of the other drink as well."
"I mean, you brew this using your new fate lock abilities, right?"
"Yes," Wang Li said, her eyes challenging him. "Don't need to criticise me, I know it's subpar, even counting as a copper-ranked spirit wine."
She snorted, reaching for the almost empty bottle, but Xiaolin beat her to it. Xiaolin kept the bottle away from her as the innkeeper growled.
