Sweet words are a magical thing. When you hear them, you can't tell if they're true or false, but as long as the other person says them, it makes you feel very happy.
Liu Buli loved how serious Lu Wuming looked when he spoke sweet words to him, as if he were his entire world. No matter what he said or did, in Lu Wuming's eyes, it was perfect and worthy of doting.
The warmth in his heart deepened. Liu Buli looked up at the man standing behind him. He blinked and said, "Wuming, I want to kiss you again."
Lu Wuming's gaze darkened.
He said gruffly, "Let's deal with your wounds first. Behave yourself."
At times like these, Liu Buli felt that Lu Wuming wasn't the little disciple he needed to dote on constantly anymore.
His little disciple had grown up.
He had become a good man who could protect him, be good to him, and dote on him.
This was something he had nurtured himself, someone who had grown exactly to his liking. What a joyous thing that was...
The more he thought about it, the more restless he became. It wasn't until Lu Wuming finally finished treating all his wounds, making the minor ones heal instantly and applying medicine and bandages to the major ones, that Liu Buli turned around and blinked at Lu Wuming, saying, "Wuming, all the wounds are treated now. Can you comfort Master in other places now?"
Lu Wuming's gaze darkened.
He really shouldn't have been so gentle with his Master.
This was a seductive fox, unwilling to stop until he had stolen his heart and soul.
He picked up the man as quickly as possible. Although he told himself to be a little rough to teach him a lesson,
When he brought the man back to the room and placed him on the bed, Lu Wuming still instinctively and carefully helped him avoid the wounded areas. He even used his arm as a cushion, holding Liu Buli's body tightly, afraid he would bump his wounds and cry out in pain again, furrowing his brows.
This meticulous care was very pleasing to Liu Buli.
He reached out and wrapped his arms around Lu Wuming's neck. He leaned in and bit his lips. With affection in his eyes, Liu Buli chuckled and asked, "Wuming, if you stand there and hold Master in your arms, won't you have to worry about me bumping my wounds?"
Lu Wuming gritted his teeth, a surge of lust rushing to his brain. Obediently, he held Liu Buli in his arms, then kissed the other man's lips with near madness, casting everything else aside.
He just wanted to devour his Master, this vixen.
...
The two of them spent a full two days in this manner.
After Liu Buli fell asleep, Lu Wuming cleaned him up again, checked his wounds, and changed the medicine. Once he was sure the injuries had mostly healed, he contentedly held Liu Buli and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Liu Buli struggled to get out of bed. The consequence of such indulgence was that he was now exhausted. The soreness in his body was not alleviated by spiritual energy or medicinal ointments, but this occasional wildness made him feel incredibly exhilarated.
Thinking of Lu Wuming whispering "Master" in his ear like a madman made Liu Buli very happy.
He reached up and massaged his lower back. Confirming that he could walk without issue, he patted the person beside him and yawned, reminding him, "Wuming, we've been cooped up in here since the big battle ended. It's been a long time, and it's time we went out to see people."
Lu Wuming had woken up when Liu Buli stirred. He had been lying on his side, quietly admiring the beautiful scenery before him. When his name was called, he obediently responded and got up with Liu Buli to tidy himself.
He helped his Master get dressed and then combed his hair.
After they were both tidied up, Lu Wuming asked with some concern, "Master, are you really okay like this? Do you need Wuming to carry you? I don't mind at all."
"But I do," Liu Buli rolled his eyes. "Your tail is wagging so high. Have you gotten so excited from me being a little nice to you that you don't even know your own name?"
"Wuming has no surname anyway. Why don't you change your name and take Master's surname?" Lu Wuming said, pressing close to Liu Buli, his voice full of joy.
Liu Buli stroked his chin, seriously considering it. After all, they were now cultivation partners. Having Lu Wuming take his surname seemed like a good idea.
However, when he imagined introducing Lu Wuming as "Liu Lu Shi" in the future, Liu Buli couldn't help but burst into laughter.
He waved his hand and said, "Let's forget it. When you first joined the sect, I offered to give you a nice name, and you refused, didn't you? We're used to calling you this now, and changing it would be troublesome. Besides, a name is just a label. I don't think it's that important. Don't you agree?"
Lu Wuming shrugged. He had always felt that names weren't very important. No matter what Master called him, he was happy. What others called him, he didn't care about. So, what did names matter?
The two of them walked and chatted, and before long, they arrived outside the courtyard of the Valley Master of the Medicine Master Valley. The courtyard gate was open, and You Siqi was sitting inside. Seeing them approach, he waved and said, "You two are truly amazing. After fighting a fierce battle, you still managed to add another one for yourselves. I'm quite impressed."
"Fighting naturally makes one's blood boil, and when one's mind is restless, it's easy to think about other things. That's only natural. Don't tell me Shen Muzhi doesn't experience this?"
Liu Buli paid no attention to You Siqi's gaze and answered boldly before walking straight into the courtyard.
You Siqi was exasperated. "I don't know Shen Muzhi's situation. Anyway, I haven't seen him since that day ended. He's busy treating the injured and investigating the origin of those ghost tribes. He's so busy all day that even if he had any intentions, he wouldn't have the opportunity to act on them."
Liu Buli looked at You Siqi with confusion. "Then why aren't you going with him?"
"Because my cultivation is too low. If I went, I'd only be a hindrance," You Siqi said. "I offered to help, but he wouldn't let me. He said he had set up a barrier around the room, and it would be safer to stay here, which would also put his mind at ease. So, I've been staying here."
Liu Buli nodded in understanding, his gaze filled with sympathy for You Siqi. He said, "You two have practically become cultivation partners, yet Shen Muzhi is still making you stay here and live like a widow. Is he not very capable?"
