28. like a beast

"Holy crap! Aren't I'm naked!? Where are my robes!? No, no, no Is mother the one who took my clothes off!??"

Feeling cold wind brush his bare skin, the merman starts to get nervous as well as embarassed.

"Wait, no. It seems I'm not completely bare! Sigh... At least I have my trousers on. Well whatever, this is a spring dream anyway so why do I need to care, am i right? It would only be weirder if somebody remains fully clothed. "

That's when Wang Yi becomes happy as he accepts this spring dream to be about his teacher Xiao Xiao.

  Less disgusted, he didn't stop himself from staring while also imagining her lovely face full of scars whisper sweet nothings to him as she plays with his body. Just by touching parts of it.

Only in reality, Xiao Xiao had a stoic expression on, disguising her inner excitement with her usual teacher appearance.

She leans down, almost kneeling, having her fingers feel the wound on his face. The one precisely that situated above his nose with a long line. It was new, from the previous night, still fresh and red.

"This one won't go away..."

Xiao Xiao couldn't help feeling guilty for having her student get a scar from their mission fighting the corrupted demons. Till now she didn't notice that eyes were on her.

"Husband..." Wang Yi looks up at her beautiful calm face, imagining her calling him.

But in reality Xiao Xiao only commented on how regretful she was,

" Wang Yi, you seriously...why did you do it? You didn't care at that time, did you?"

The jade rabbit refers to him protecting her by taking the blow for her.

" I didn't want my student to go through the same thing I'm going through. Never wanted . But you and this scar... will forever live in shame and humiliation. This will change you, maybe for the worst or better but I understand everything very clearly."

The older whispered in sadness, radiating healing energy on his scar to lessen the pain.

Meanwhile around that time the grumpy Yufeng was heading towards the infirmary, wanting to pay a visit to his close friend as well as cool off his head after his not so pleasant encounter with the werewolf General.

Just as he was about to arrive, from the window he caught a glimpse of a woman, he assumed, was tending the patient.

But the closer he reached to the door, the figure of the woman became more clearer. Her body and shape was familiar, soon he recognized her as his mentor.

"Hey, isn't that teacher Xiao? Right, I forgot that she has healing powers.  But whose injuries is she tending? And where's brother Wang?"

It didn't seem weird at first when he saw the naked torso of a boy on the bed, whom he didn't recognize with all the transformation going on.

Only when he took a step closer to confirm who it was, the one under turns out was Wang Yi.

"It appears to be brother Wang is with her! Good, then teacher must be taking care of him. Is she the one who  have been healing him this whole time?"

But somehow something didn't seem right, as he was watching he notices teacher Xiao holding oh so gently the boy's tender face, caressing his scar, their faces only milimeter apart  from each other's faces.

"...she's healing him, right?"

But only when he sees teacher Xiao almost havor above the boy, pressing him down with her body that he began rethinking that this all wasn't as innocent.

"!!!!!!"

Yufeng's eyes flew open, jaw dropping. By instict he immediately hides by the door, not wanting to be seen yet also trying to understand what was happening.

He then gasps, face heating up at seeing those two.

Wang Yi's body finally stops feeling numb, so unexpectedly  his hand brings up to suddenly grab at the teacher's curvy waist , resulting in a yelp of  surprise.

Wang Yi sat up, still in a dreamlike state to be bold enough to bring their bodies closer with their chests pressing against each other as Xiao Xiao lands herself on her student's lap.

The first thing the snake thought was that how could Wang Yi do this to her?? How long was he awake!? Besides for so many Yufeng has known him, he have never seen him interact with any women so affectionately before, could it be that.... Brother Wang is taking advantage of their teacher!??  I didn't think he was that type of person..!! That stinky fish was the one who hated the idea of both Zhen Yi and him liking their teacher, yet he himself was here having the teacher all for himself after being a hypocritical liar!?

So many thoughts went through his mind, he didn't know how should he accept this but all he felt was anger, betrayal and sadness.

Wang Yi, you...

"Oh my God! Was he awake throughout this whole time!???"

Due to shock, the jade rabbit's body stood frozen, without being able to resist.

"Is he possessed!??? What's with this new domineering aura completely different to his usual naive attitude!? Otherwise explain how he's changed after being in coma? Exactly like two different people!"

The older woman innerly screams in terror.

Wang Yi had an imagination of the very same moment, only instead of her being horrified, his mentor had a loving smile planted on her  beautiful face, whispering seductively as she runs her fingertips on her bare chest,

"You've gotten good at this...now would you like me to teach you personally about dual cultivation, my student~? We could..."

She looks up to stare deep into his soul, eyes full of love as she finishes off with a,

"...start now?"

Yufeng panics in worry,

Forget it, but that is not right! This is going to turn into adultery, on top of that a relationship between student and teacher...!! At least shouldn't they be legally married to be  having this type of romance!?? Otherwise if a word goes out it's gonna be the end of those two... Should I show up there and just stop these two before they go further to the forbidden part!?? No, that would mean that I have been stalking them and that's a huge crime...but what they're about to do is even far worse of a crime! Gah, what am I supposed to do!???

Wang Yi gulps down his saliva at the irresistible charm of the older woman and her raspy voice, his throat knot visibly throbbing.

Shaking his head as he gains confidence, the boy leans his face closer to her.

One hand holds her waist tightly, causing their bodies to press against each other without a single space out, while his other hand interlocks with  hers.

Just when the boy was going in for a kiss , that's when Xiao Xiao found herself regaining consciousness, finally pulling herself to react to the unspoken harassment.

So she does the first thing that comes to mind and that is to land a punch on his face as a self defense. A mighty one, I must add.

Which usually can cause the younger to get knocked out and fall on the bed, back to unconscious.

Not expecting that to happen, Yufeng, who was watching from far, covered his mouth in shock.

Breathing heavily as well as blinded by fear, Xiao Xiao only later understood what she had done.

"Oh no."

"W-Wang Yi..."

She shooks his shoulder, calling out for him.

"Wang Yi! Wake up!"

Cursing, " Crap, took long for him to gain consciousness and wake up but I had to knock his consciousness out again! "

Just when Yufeng thought about stepping in and check up on his friend's condition,

"Hey, what are you standing here for?"

Jumping in surprise at the unexpected presence, Yufeng stutters, "J-just...I'm,"

"Why don't you enter? Or were you waiting for me?"

Crap! I don't want Zhen Yi to step in and see teacher Xiao in disadvantage!

Forget, let's kill time and play along with him for now and then slowly leave this place...

"Y-yeah, that's right, I was. But you see, I think we should head back because I just entered and he's not awake yet. Let's not bother ourselves."

"Not yet awake!? It's already been so long and the doctor said he'd be awake today, didn't she?? So let's be there and wait for him until he wakes up so the first thing he sees would be us two."

"....Look, how about-"

"Oh? Teacher Xiao, hello!!"

Yufeng felt his heart stop for a second, looking behind to see their teacher standing next to him.

"What were you doing in the infirmary ,teacher ?"

Xiao Xiao face suddenly turns red, feeling as if she was caught red-handed, but keeping professionalism, she still forces out,

"...ahem. Good day, students. I came to search for books and discuss with the doctor what remedy herbs that I might need to collect, but I couldn't find the information so I'm heading to search for the doctor. Do you happen to see Dr. Gu? "

"Oooh!"

Zhen Yi nods in approval, "Yes, I have! I've seen her at the open field, probably Dr. Gu is still in the meeting."

He then asks,

"Right, uh, this disciple dares to ask but will teacher participate the celebration banquet today?"

"...of course."

"Great! Then me and Yufeng are heading inside now. We will see you tonight at the banquet, teacher!"

"Alright, well, have fun you both."

Is the last thing she says before she quickly walks off with war of thoughts on her mind.

What in the world was all of that!?? Did some sort of spirit really enter Wang Yi's body!? Otherwise that didn't seem like the person I've known for so many years! Or was that his true nature!? A beast!!

She cries, getting freaked out.

No, I must be wrong! I'm a woman who's almost double his age, so how could he act like that! Towards me?? Or was it because he got it wrong on our fake wedding night at the mission...

Sigh. After all he's just a boy, barely 18, can't blame because it's a lot more understandable if he would take that play serious and catch unspeakable feelings of desire that most people his age do...

Tch, but seriously, if I hadn't stopped that little fish God knows how far he'd dare to go against me!! I just almost had an heart attack and I could have died on spot...

Because for so long no one has harassed me that way, last time being was a decade ago....

The jade rabbit shuts her eyes tight, recalling the painful memory of the past.

And now my own student...

----at the banquet---

"Woah, now that I see it our general is so famous among the girls...I'm jealous!! Look at how everyone's lining up to greet him, tch."

Yufeng and Zhen Yi, like always, were together, except Wang Yi couldn't attend because he's still in the infirmary.

"Well, I mean, he's really handsome and have got a good figure so if I was a girl I'd drool over him too."
