Yong Jie rubbed both his upper arms as they walked inside the cave. It looked like an ordinary cave except that it was made of ice. The stalagmites and stalactites were like crystal curtains hanging on both the ceiling and the ground of the cave and it was well maintained.
The cave was dark if it wasn't for some glowing stones being planted inside the ice that it looked very beautiful as some of the stones created a prism that the ice turned into different colors.
"This is beautiful." Yong Jie said. "But cold, like you." Yong Jie grinned as he hugged his coat.
Yao Xue removed the coat that Yong Jie bought for him.
"Hey, what are you doing? It's cold." Yong Jie stopped Yao Xue's hand from removing his coat.
"I told you before, I can handle the temperature."
"Still."
"You're a fire type. You can warm yourself up."
Yong Jie exclaimed in realization. "True. True."
Yao Xue was surprised when he felt Yong Jie released some warm energy around his body. He could feel that he had gotten a lot better compared to the last time they saw each other. It was a familiar feeling for Yao Xue.
He knew that it was Yong Jie all along.
Yao Xue looked at Yong Jie who grinned at him and reached for his hand.
"I'll warm you up. Though, I still prefer for Young master Yao Xue to warm me up inside his arms." Yong Jie muttered.
Yao Xue frowned. "I won't be able to warm you. I am a water type."
"I wouldn't mind getting frozen too."
Yao Xue poked Yong Jie's forehead then walked ahead deeper in the cave and said nothing. That Yong Jie really knows how to make things harder for Yao Xue. He has a sweet mouth and he has been acting more like that after he recovered from the plague.
Was it the plague?

Yao Xue and Yong Jie hurried to the hall upon hearing news from Dashan. The people in the world were surprised and hope-filled their hearts when they heard of that the legendary cultivator who seized the demons thousands of years ago was back and he was in Dashan.
Yong Jie was surprised to hear a familiar name then he turned to Yao Xue. "Zi Xin? Do they mean Xiao Xin? Xiao Xin is alive?"
Yao Xue nodded his head.
"Zi Xin's soul transmigrated to another body and even though the legend didn't state about transmigration and the records didn't mention any names but it was said that the legendary cultivator was the first one who experienced soul transmigration and defeated the demons. What is happening today in the world was the same as what happened thousands of years ago and it was possible that the legendary cultivator is back."
"And it was Xiao Xin?" Yong Jie asked.
Yong Jie himself experienced soul transmigration but he couldn't find himself as the legendary cultivator. Of course, not. Yong Jie lived in his original world as a normal human. It might be Zi Xin for unlike Yong Jie, his soul came from another world yet Zi Xin's soul chooses to stay in the same world and the same timeline.
Yong Jie couldn't believe what was happening but he was glad to know that Zi Xin was alive and Zi Xin found himself back to Dashan. Yong Xian must have been happy to see Zi Xin again.
"They said." Yao Xue said.
"Young master Yao Xue doesn't agree?"
Yao Xue turned to Yong Jie and stared at him. "Not that I don't agree."
Yong Jie never planned on telling anyone that he came from a different world. Not even Yao Xue.
Yong Jie stayed in Xueguo for two more days and prepared to go back to Dashan. Yong Jie wasn't still used to the cold temperature in Xueguo, especially during the night so he thoroughly wrapped his coat around his body as leaped on the roof of the room Yong Jie was staying.
It was his last night in Xueguo and he wanted to look at the night sky thinking that every world out there was connected by one vast sky.
It was the new moon. The surroundings were darker and quiet that Yong Jie could hear his breathing. Stars were more visible in the dark sky so Yong Jie laid on the tiled roof with his hands as his pillow and observed the stars.
Yong Jie woke up and he was startled to see Yao Xue hovering above him and was pinning both his hands. Yong Jie didn't even notice that he fell asleep on the roof.
"Yao Xue!" Yong Jie grinned. "So you have a hobby of sneaking into me while I am asleep."
"Is it bad?" Yao Xue asked with his cold expression.
Yong Jie was stunned. He though Yao Xue would retreat.
"Uh, I don't think so." Yong Jie stared into Yao Xue's eyes and it was still his usual poker-faced face. Somehow, Yong Jie felt like Yao Xue was confessing without telling the words directly to Yong Jie
Yao Xue didn't even deny that he sneaked while Yong Jie was sleeping.
Yao Xue nodded and he unconsciously swallowed a lump in his throat when Yong Jie saw Yao Xue's eyes rolling down to his lips. Yong Jie was so sure that Yao Xue was looking at his lips.
Yong Jie felt his heart went wild inside his chest. Yao Xue never showed interest to Yong Jie, it was the other way around but Yong Jie never thought that Yao Xue would do this thing.
"Yao Xue, what are you doing?" Yong Jie asked when Yao Xue remained staring at his lips like he was hesitating. Yong Jie could see how he struggled thinking between kissing him or not.
"I am trying to control myself." Yao Xue said and Yong Jie couldn't help but find it funny making him laugh.
Might as well tease Yao Xue.
"Young master Yao Xue, have you ever kissed someone? Except me since we kinda kissed a few times." Yong Jie asked and Yao Xue looked at him then shook his head. "Though I am a man, but kissing a man's lips is the same as kissing a woman's. They feel the same... I think."
"Our kisses are only brief. I had no time to feel it." Yao Xue said and Yong Jie was surprised. Yong Jie never thought that Yao Xue would say something like that.
"True. Wanna try again?" Yong Jie grinned. "This time, you can ki—"
Yong Jie was cut when Yao Xue crossed their distance and captured his lips. Their soft lips slowly moving against each other and Yong Jie gasped in surprise when Yao Xue pressed deeper, licking Yong Jie's lips.
Yong Jie's face heated up and gave in to Yao Xue's advances, opening his mouth and letting Yao Xue dominate him. Yong Jie never thought that Yao Xue was good at kissing until now.
Yong Jie could melt under Yao Xue and he was getting hard with just a fiery kiss!
Yong Jie gasped for air when Yao Xue pulled back and stared at Yong Jie.
"Can I kiss you other than the lips?" Yao Xue asked.
Yong Jie felt his body heated up despite the cold temperature. "Yes! Yes!" Yong Jie closed his lips immediately thinking that he sounded so desperate. "I mean, you can." Yong Jie gently said, shyness written on his cheeks.
Yao Xue smiled as he traced his lips on Yong Jie's jaw down his throat. Yong Jie shivered from the sensual feeling of Yao Xue's lips on his neck. Everything was making his heart went wild until Yong Jie opened his eyes screaming Yao Xue's name and realized that it was just a dream.
"Yong Jie!"
Yong Jie was startled to hear Yao Xue calling him below the ground and looking so worried like something big happened and Yong Jie couldn't help but feel awkward looking at Yao Xue's eyes.
"A dream demon." Yao Xue said making Yong Jie sat up immediately then realized that he was... hard.
Yong Jie groaned in anger. That dream demon really knows how to get into him.
"What's the matter?" Yao Xue asked, worried that the dream demon might found a way inside Yong Jie's subconsciousness.
"I'm hard!" Yong Jie cried.
