The Judgemental Hua

"There is nothing enjoyable about this place for me. Why don't we go to my place and have some fun instead?"

In front of the luxurious auction establishment, Zhangming aired his grievance.

It's no surprise for Lin that a non-cultivator like him would never get the value of such a place.

"Then leave. To be frank, I want to be alone for the rest of the day."

"What, but I still haven't enjoyed our date yet! I demand you entertain me or I'm going to tell your family on you!"

Unbelievable, Zhangming was not going to let their date end without even a single kiss from his fiance!

This young master was really testing the limit of Lin's patience. They are both strong willed since they came from renowned families. The two were used for things always going their way.

Unlike Zhangming, Lin's family isn't the only thing she can depend upon.

Releasing a wave of tamed killing intent, just enough to scare Zhangming and make him fall on his behind, Lin warned...

"When I say we're done for the day, it means we are done for the day. Do you understand?"

Scowling, Zhangming ran away as he shouted, "I'll tell your mother and father, you'll see!"

"Useless." Lin muttered under her breath.

Moments later...

Now sitting in a private booth overlooking the whole auction that is about to commence below, such prestige are offered for Jiang Shian's influential families, or at least those who are filthy rich. With a screen covering the front so the surrounding booths cannot and even those below cannot plot against those who are spending spirit stones to purchase the establishment's rare goods. Going as far as to hide the qi of those inside the booth.

Sipping the calming in-house tea that the auction house offered, Lin was glad that she can finally relax.

Or so she thought...

+++

Liuming and Xiao entered their spacious booth, plain and undecorated it might be, it still offered enough privacy for them to freely look at the items that will be offered below while shielding their appearance from other bettors.

A privacy that Liuming planned to take advantage of.

"Mistress, do you want to do it in this booth? They are still preparing the items, we can have a quick go at it." With a coy smile, Liuming offered.

"Oh, that's quite brazen of you. You know these walls aren't sound proof, right?"

Suddenly, Liuming straddled Xiao's face. Even going as far as to remove her mask and laying it to the side table. Like the truth about her two other consorts being spirit beasts, Xiao hasn't been open yet to Liuming about the identity of her master, referring to her as a 'mysterious force' in the tales she told Liuming. But Xiao was sure her master wouldn't mind.

Liuming's hand laid upon Xiao's cheeks, tilting them up so Liuming could easily descend upon Xiao's lips a kiss.

"That won't be a problem, Mistress. No one would ever dare to stop us since we're inside one of these booths. So just let out your voice, I want to hear you moan my name."

Even with their mistress/pet dynamic, a relationship was about giving and taking. Frankly, Liuming felt she could give Xiao plenty at this moment.

As Xiao slowly opened her lower robe, Liuming was relentless with her kisses, diving into Xiao's neck. Such tickling ministrations was enough to illicit a low whimper but Xiao still had reservations in letting out her moans.

Nonetheless, Xiao yelped as Liuming's warm hand brushed her clit. Xiao reclined her back on the seat, opening her legs to give room to Liuming so she can tend to Xiao's sacred place with abandon.

Soon, Liuming inserted two of her digits inside of Xiao, while Liuming's lips trailed down into one of Xiao's breast. Sucking onto it as if Liuming was a newborn babe.

Pleasure wracked Xiao, her hands wrapped around Liuming's red hair.

Finally, as Liuming's fingers began to move, it accidentally pressed Xiao's love spot, making Xiao release the sweet moan that Liuming was waiting for.

"There, move your fingers there!" Xiao guided amidst the passion.

Like the good pet that she is, the eager to please Liuming followed Xiao's instruction.

On room right next to them...

As Lin tried to sip her tea, a bit of it was spilled as the moan of a woman exploded, going through the walls in full erotic force.

Typical. Yet another person taking advantage of their status, thinking that they could abandon decorum just because they are rich.

Lin was about to approach them, bang on the walls and reprimand whoever they are for turning the well-respected establishment into a bordello.

Come to think of it, that moan seems awfully familiar...

"Aaaah! Don't stop, Liuming! I'm cumming!"

...and now Lin knows why.

Heart-wrenching pain assailed Lin. Similar to being impaled by a spear in the chest.

What cruel twist of fate is this that she was forced to confront Xiao being pleasured by another?

That should Lin making Xiao moan like that.

Xiao was in for an extraordinary climax for as soon as she orgasmed, a fist suddenly crashed into their wall.

Thinking it was an attack, Xiao immediately robed herself to defend against this 'attacker'.

Hurt eyes peered through the hole, making Xiao gasp, "Lin, is that you?"

Xiao received no answer as Lin ran away, damning even the auction.

Lin was in no mood to return to their sect for tonight. Not now when Xiao and Liuming are still there.

Bursting into the front door of their palatial mansion, Lin passed by her mother.

"Lin, perfect timing. Zhangming just dropped by earlier, I want to have a word with you."

"Not now, mother, I'm not in the mood!"

Shen Hua did not like the tone her daughter took, following Lin as the two stormed up the stairs.

"You're mother is speaking to you. You're not in the mood!? You better get in the mood!" Hua tipped her daughter's shoulder so the two would be face to face.

What Hua didn't expect was to find her daughter already in tears, instantly cooling Hua's fiery anger and opting instead to embrace her daughter.

"What's wrong, Lin? Is this about Zhangming?"

The maternal comfort brought about by Lin's mother offered respite for her pained and weary heart.

"Partly. I don't want to marry him, he has no redeemable qualities about him! "

"You know that my marriage to your father was arranged too, right? He too was pretty childish in his younger days but he eventually matured."

"I highly doubt that father was a lecherous bastard back then, if only you could have seen how this Zhangming is always oggling me!"

Hua was at loss, her husband might have been a bit of a troublemaker back then, but he still was a gentleman. Perhaps she could divert the conversation?

"Don't tell me you're planning on cancelling the wedding? Your father and I, our family will lose face if we back out now!"

"I'd rather we do than be tied to that lech!"

Her daughter was always onboard with the idea of strengthening their family, their name to one day be the mightiest in all of Jiang Shian. What brought this sudden change of heart?

"You're the one who told me you can endure everything for the prosperity of our family. Why the change of heart? Could it be...you harbor feelings for another?" Hua questioned.

There was deafening silence that exacerbated Lin's sobs. That was enough of an answer for Hua. But who? Bing reported that their daughter would hard pressed to mingle with the opposite sex, that she used to spend all of her free time with her friend that got killed by that Demonic cultivator.

"Lin, don't tell me that you...that you like that Xiao!?"

With how Lin was unable to answer, her sobs intensifying in response, it pretty much confirmed Hua's suspicion.

By the heavens, her daughter is a lesbian! How could this be!?

"Lin, this Xiao is dead. It's best you forget about her."

"No, mother, you don't understand. Xiao is still alive!"

Hua broke off their embrace, "And what, are you going to abandon your wedding just run into the arms of ANOTHER woman! Think of our family, Lin! Think of the judgement and ridicule that we would receive from everyone!"

Wiping her tears, Lin scowled. The judgement of others? Lin was already hurt by the judgement passed by her very own mother.

"Maybe I will, Mother. After all, simply being with Xiao makes me happy."

If there is one thing that Hua would describe her daughter, it is willful, extremely so. Once she had set her mind on abandoning the marriage, Lin will undoubtedly do so. Because of this, Hua knew that she can still salvage the situation.

Hua sighed, "Lin, let us put aside your lesbianism." Hua put her hand on Lin's shoulder, drumming sympathy. "We don't have the luxury to choose the person we are married to, everything we do, we do for our family. Could you imagine if I didn't give your father a chance? You wouldn't even be here right now! If this Xiao is haunting your thoughts, then I suggest you leave the sect now, we will rush your marriage and hold it in a month."
