3RD POV
###################
From one street to the next, Yuan Yao followed Lin Xuan like a shadow, mesmerized by his curiosity. He wondered how a man like Lin Xuan, who came from a wealthy family, looked so fascinated by every little thing he saw.
But more than that, he was bleeding Yuan Yao's purse from all the things he was buying...girlish things like makeup and feminine clothing.
Yuan Yao said nothing but promised to make Lin Xuan pay with his blood...literally.
While they continued shopping, or as Lin Xuan continued buying things he couldn't even carry, they found themselves in front of a small stall.
"Wow! They're so beautiful," Lin Xuan whispered to himself, staring at the hairpins through dreamy eyes.
He turned around to Yuan Yao. "Can I..."
Being stared at with these puppy eyes weakened even a reputable demon like himself.
Yuan Yao groaned looking away. "Whatever."
Lin Xuan leaned forward, squinting because of the dull light coming from the lantern hanging from the stall. He wanted to choose the best and then call it a night.
As he reached out to pick the black hairpin made from gray wood, the bloody jade next to it flew up and straight into his hair.
He gasped jerking backwards and straightening. But due to the people bustling up and down behind him, he lost balance and almost fell.
"Clumsy," Yuan Yao breathed pulling Lin Xuan with his qi.
He may have pulled him a little too hard because Lin Xuan ended up slamming against Yuan Yao, knocking the breath out of his own lungs.
Lin Xuan raised his eyes, shutting out all the Boise from around them to focus only on the man holding him. For almost a minute, the two fell into each other's eyes just before a woman's voice called out, "Lin...Lin Xuan?!"
Started, Lin Xuan jumped out of Yuan Yao's hold, spinning in the direction the voice had come from.
His eyes fell on a female, maybe eighteen or nineteen years old. Her brown hair was held up by three golden hairpins that complimented the dull blue robes she wore.
Standing next to her were two other females who seemed about her age but they dressed more casually and carried with them their swords. Almost as if they were her guards.
She rushed forward, her companions clearing the path until they got to where Lin Xuan and Yuan Yao stood.
"It really is you." She grabbed his right hand, her eyes shimmering with adoration as the light from the countless lanterns hanging along the ropes penetrated her eyes. "How... when...you should ha-"
A took Lin Xuan's arms and tugged him behind to stand next to its owner. "Aren't you going to introduce us, shaodi?"
The female glanced down at their contact, her smile fading by half but remained enthusiastic about meeting an 'old friend'.
Lin Xuan swallowed with a lot of difficulty though he hid it well. The memory of the previous owner was still dispersed. Not even a single one of them had bothered to come back. But then again, he didn't think he would need them now that he had moved to a new city.
"Um... You are...?"
Frowning, the female answered, "Bai Mei. How can you forget so quickly? You couldn't stop calling it the last time we were together." Her cheeks reddened as their time together replayed in her mind. Yes, their time together having...sex.
Lin Xuan almost retched the second he understood her words while Yuan Yao frowned averting his gaze on the ma beside him. "It seems like my shaodi had a busy life before we met, mhm!"
"Shaodi? Who are you?" Bai Mei questioned annoyed that Lin Xuan could neither remember her nor their memorable sex.
"We have no time for this," Yuan Yao breathed, beginning to pull Lin Xuan away from the stall.
The seller yelled out, confused if this was a scheme to rob him. "What about the-" Yuan Yao's purse appeared out of thin air and dropped in the seller's palm, silencing him.
"Stop! Lin Xuan!" Bai Mei cried rushing after them. But when the two men joined the crowded path, she lost sight of them immediately as if they had been devoured by the mortals rushing about their business.

Lin Xuan gasped aloud as he tore himself from Yuan Yao's grasp.
He didn't have time to prepare for the teleportation for Yuan Yao had kissed him too suddenly and got them out of the busy street and back in the quiet alley which he had used in the past.
"Why..." He stopped to first breath to quench the fire in his lungs before he could confront Yuan Yao properly.
"Shaodi!" Yuan Yao called menacingly, grabbing Lin Xuan's hands and thrusting his weak body back against the building there. He went ahead and pinned them above Lin Xuan's head, making sure he couldn't escape.
And in case Lin Xuan thought of using his knees to kick him, Yuan Yao pushed his left knee against Lin Xuan's groin.
"Who was that?"
"Who? Oh! Her?"
He turned his head away as fear gripped his soul.
How would he explain to this demon that he didn't even know the woman's name let alone her history with the previous Lin Xuan?
"She...um...that girl is...I-"
"Lin Xuan!" Yuan Yao forced Lin Xuan to face him. "You belong to me now. I hope you understand what that means, right?"
"I...I..."
"The only way I'm letting go of you is if you die. So don't even think about entangling yourself with irrelevant people and taint my blood. Am I clear?"
Lin Xuan just stared at Yuan Yao in complete shock. He couldn't believe what he had just heard. But more than that, he couldn't believe that he was now getting hard from hearing Yuan Yao threatening him.
"If I find you around people I don't approve of, I will punish you in a way you will not like. If you think I'm bluffing, try getting close to that girl or anyone in the sect."
Lin Xuan swallowed hard. He was growing weaker and weaker in his knees yet his cöck seemed to be growing headed and harder.
"Maybe I should show you the kind of punishment I'll give you if you disobey," Yuan Yao whispered moving his face down to Lin Xuan's neck.
"Wait! You just fed-"
Yuan Yao ignored Lin Xuan's cry and bit him.
"Grh!" Lin Xuan squirmed helplessly, unconsciously rubbing himself against Yuan Yao's thigh.
The demon smiled as he expelled his toxins from his body and into Lin Xuan's without having to suck any blood.
He wanted to make him suffer a little to make sure he would not defy any orders given to him now or in the future.
Once done, Yuan Yao retracted his fangs but never let go of Lin Xuan.
"How do you feel, shaodi?"
Lin Xuan raised his head. Something felt utterly wrong within his body. It caused him to have symptoms like he was suffering from a fever.
His body felt extremely hot all over, and his throat craved water.
"So...hot."
A thick layer of sweat began spreading all over his skin, from his scalp to his toes and even trickling down his temples.
"I feel so hot. What...what have you...have you done to me?" he asked while panting for fresher air.
Yuan Yao grinned evilly watching his erotic toxins bring to life every part of Lin Xuan's body. But seeing him look so aroused and flushed made his cöck twitch and pulsate for the delicious-looking man in front of him.
