Lim Peizhi took off his armor, the metal clinking softly as he placed it on the table. Huang Yueliang walked into the tent, her movements graceful, and lowered the drapes, plunging them into a private cocoon. Lim Peizhi approached her, his eyes warm, and gently kissed her.
Their lips met, a tender prelude, as they slowly began to shed their clothes, each touch a promise. Lim Peizhi lay her down on the mat, his gaze adoring. He kissed her face, then, with a delicate touch, stroked her left nipple with one hand, eliciting a soft sigh from her. His hand slowly ventured downward, tracing the curve of her hip until he gently touched her private parts. He inserted a finger, slowly at first, then deliberately, feeling the warmth and the complete wetness that greeted him. He pressed his body on hers, and at the same moment, inserted his throbbing member into her wet private part, beginning a slow, rhythmic thrust.
Outside, by the moonlit lake, Huang Hongse and Guo Longtong sat, gazing at the myriad stars. Guo Longtong wrapped his arms around Huang Hongse's waist, pulling her close, and leaned his head on her right shoulder, a familiar comfort.
"Hongse," Guo Longtong whined, his voice thick with uncharacteristic earnestness, "no matter what, promise me you will return to Waterfall City."
Huang Hongse's voice was cold, pragmatic as always. "I don't make that kind of promise," she stated, her gaze fixed on the distant horizon. "Who knows what will happen tomorrow?"
"I'll wait for you right here on this spot," Guo Longtong insisted, a stubborn streak showing, "until I see you cross that lake."
"You need to hide someplace safe," Huang Hongse countered, a flicker of concern in her eyes. "Just in case an arrow accidentally kills you while sitting on this spot."
Guo Longtong looked around, pretending to seriously consider it. "How about behind this big rock? I'm sure no arrow can penetrate this hard rock!"
"You go back to Waterfall City and wait there," Huang Hongse commanded, her patience wearing thin.
Guo Longtong snorted, a frustrated sound. "Hmph... You are so not romantic!"
"It's not like you just knew me," Huang Hongse retorted, rolling her eyes.
"When are we going to do it?" Guo Longtong asked, his tone suddenly hopeful.
"Do what?" Huang Hongse feigned innocence.
Guo Longtong hesitated, afraid of being kicked off the stone for his boldness. "Let's make love," he finally blurted out. He giggled, a mischievous glint in his eye. "I'm sure your sister and Peizhi are doing it now, Dachin and Yaoting are doing it, and Baiyu, Renshu, and Ping'an are doing it! Now that is the couples I want to peek at!"
"Pervert," Huang Hongse stated flatly, a faint blush rising to her cheeks despite herself.
Guo Longtong seized the moment. "Then say yes, marry me!" He looked at her with those wide, innocent eyes that always seemed to disarm her.
Huang Hongse lowered her head, a rare softness in her expression, and kissed his lips. "You want to marry me?" she whispered against his mouth. "Then you must wait for me after the war ends."
"Well," Guo Longtong sighed, frustration mingling with a tiny spark of hope, "a kiss is also good, better than nothing."
In the lake farther away, Lee Dachin and Fang Yaoting bathed under the soft moonlight, the water rippling gently around them. Lee Dachin slowly, tenderly, washed Fang Yaoting's long black hair, his touch filled with unspoken affection.
"Yaoting," Lee Dachin said, his voice soft, "I know you are doing this for the greater good. I understand that I will not stop you, but I want you to know that no matter what happens, you will always be in my heart."
Fang Yaoting turned to face his lover, his eyes dark with emotion. He pulled away a stray strand of hair from Lee Dachin's beautiful face. He stroked his soft, pale cheek and looked deeply into his lover's eyes. The bright moonlight from above made Lee Dachin's face even more radiant. He leaned in and kissed his forehead, a silent promise.
"You will always be in my heart," Fang Yaoting whispered, his arms wrapping around Lee Dachin's soft body, pulling him close. Then he kissed him on the lips, a long, passionate kiss. Their mouths opened, their tongues and lips sucking and twisting in a dance of deep desire.
"Set me on fire," Lee Dachin whispered softly, his voice trembling with need. "Make love to me."
Fang Yaoting picked up Lee Dachin, his strength effortless, and pressed him onto a tall, smooth rock near the water's edge. He began to kiss and lick Lee Dachin's neck, then ventured downward to Lee Dachin's nipples. He licked and sucked Lee Dachin's nipples, teasing them until they hardened into sensitive peaks. He ventured downward more, his lips trailing fire. Lee Dachin leaned his head against the rock and panted quickly, his breath coming in ragged gasps. He knelt down; his eyes fixed on Lee Dachin's body and kissed his member. He held Lee Dachin's member with his left hand, gently stroking, and began to lick Lee Dachin's scrotums. He licked one scrotum at a time, then took both into his mouth, playing with them with his tongue.
Lee Dachin could only grit his teeth, clenching his hands into tight fists. He curled his toes, panting quickly, his body trembling on the edge of climax.
"Yaoting, I'm going to climax!" Lee Dachin gasped, unable to hold back.
"Not yet, love," Fang Yaoting murmured, his voice husky with desire. He took Lee Dachin's member fully into his mouth and sucked slowly, expertly.
"Yaoting, ah... ah... ah... Yaoting, I am going to climax!" Lee Dachin continued to moan, his body writhing.
"Not yet, love," Fang Yaoting insisted, his voice a low growl. He inserted a finger into Lee Dachin's backdoor, carefully preparing him, and while sucking Lee Dachin's member, he slowly thrust his finger inside.
Lee Dachin groaned happily, a sound of pure pleasure and desperation. "Yaoting, I can't hold it anymore! Yaoting, please... Ah... I... I... can't... ah... ah..."
Fang Yaoting inserted a second finger into Lee Dachin's backdoor, increasing his thrusting speed and his sucking, pushing Lee Dachin further over the edge.
Lee Dachin groaned, breathing more and more rapidly, and then climaxed inside Fang Yaoting's mouth, a torrent of release.
Fang Yaoting gently spit out Lee Dachin's bodily fluids onto his right palm and carefully smeared it on Lee Dachin's backdoor, preparing him further. He stood up, and Lee Dachin, breathless but eager, knelt down and began to lick Fang Yaoting's hard, throbbing member.
Now, the two lovers exchanged places, with Lee Dachin taking control. Lee Dachin put Fang Yaoting's hard member inside his mouth and began to suck slowly, playing with Fang Yaoting's member with his tongue, relishing the taste and feel.
Fang Yaoting gently grabbed Lee Dachin's hair, pulling him back slightly, then gently thrust his member inside Lee Dachin's mouth. He then guided Lee Dachin's head upward toward his own lips. He kissed his lips, then stuck his tongue into Lee Dachin's mouth, a deep, passionate kiss.
He picked up Lee Dachin by the waist and held Lee Dachin's buttocks, effortlessly supporting him. Lee Dachin wrapped his legs around Fang Yaoting's waist, clinging to him.
Fang Yaoting pressed Lee Dachin onto the rock, held up Lee Dachin's two legs, and then inserted his throbbing, hard member into Lee Dachin's backdoor, beginning a powerful, driving thrust. He thrust quickly and deeply, feeling his member invade Dachin's body, the tight muscles squeezing him, which made him feel particularly good, pushing him closer to his own climax. Then he climaxed inside Lee Dachin, a final, intense release.
Lying naked on the ground, Lim Peizhi held Huang Yueliang tightly in his arms, her body warm against his.
"Let's spend tonight together," Lim Peizhi whispered, his voice thick with tenderness. "I just want to hold you like this all night because tomorrow I might not have a chance to hold you until the battle is over." He held her tightly, as if he could absorb her into himself.
On the way home, fireflies could be seen everywhere, their gentle lights flickering in the darkness. The moon was very bright tonight, with many clear stars twinkling overhead, a peaceful contrast to the grim reality.
"What do you want to do tonight?" Zhao Renshu asked Guo Baiyu, his voice soft.
"Sit and talk without sleeping," Guo Baiyu replied, his gaze distant.
"That's all?" Zhao Renshu probed, a hint of disappointment in his tone.
"What about you?" Guo Baiyu countered.
"I want to go home for dinner and make love all night," Zhao Renshu admitted, a wistful note in his voice.
"Let's ask her what she wants to do," Guo Baiyu suggested, thinking of Ping'an.
Zhao Renshu sighed, a heavy sound. "Yes, we asked her what she wanted to do, and we promised to share everything with her. Now, we are making a contingency plan without her."
Guo Baiyu stopped walking, turning to face Zhao Renshu. "Do you feel wrong?" he asked, his voice gentle.
Zhao Renshu stopped and turned around; his expression conflicted. "Yes and no," he admitted, exhaling slowly. "Yes, because I think it's wrong to lie to her. No, because I know that if we have to draw the last card, she will be alive." He ran a hand through his hair. "Ah... She's going to hate us forever."
Guo Baiyu continued walking, his steps steady. "As long as she is still alive, I am okay with it," he said, his voice resolute, prioritizing her life above her anger.
From a distance, they saw Ping'an sitting on the bench at the house's gate, a small, solitary figure, waiting patiently for them.
"Don't mention anything anymore," Guo Baiyu instructed Zhao Renshu, his voice low and urgent. "Just talk and focus on her only."
"Why?" Zhao Renshu asked.
"If you talk too much," Guo Baiyu explained dryly, "you have the tendency to leak secrets."
Zhao Renshu chuckled, then waved excitedly at Ping'an. He shouted happily, "Ping'an!"
Ping'an stood up, a warm smile gracing her lips, and waited for them. The two men walked up to her. Guo Baiyu touched her hand, his fingers intertwining with hers.
"Why don't you stay in the house?" Guo Baiyu asked, concern in his voice.
"I want to wait for you guys here," Ping'an replied simply, her gaze unwavering.
Zhao Renshu gently pinched her cheek. "Honey, you are so kind," he said tenderly.
Ping'an playfully pushed his hand away. "Don't pinch me!" she chided.
"Baiyu is right, you should stay in the house," Zhao Renshu continued, a rare seriousness in his tone. "Your face is so cold; I don't want you to catch a cold."
"You two took too long, and the dishes are cold," Ping'an said, a hint of exasperation in her voice. "I'll go and reheat it."
"Go and heat it up," Zhao Renshu urged, a mischievous grin returning, "Baiyu's stomach is weak!" He laughed.
The three Guozhao Hunters walked into the house. Ping'an walked to the kitchen, and the two men sat at the table. Guo Baiyu started to make tea, his movements practiced, and Zhao Renshu ate apples, enjoying the simple act. After a while, Ping'an brought the hot dishes and put them on the table. Ping'an picked up the chopsticks as usual and handed a pair to each of the two men, just like she always did. They smiled at her; their eyes filled with affection.
Ping'an smiled at her husbands. "Let's eat," she said softly.
After dinner, the three Guozhao Hunters sat on the porch and looked at the stars, a peaceful moment of shared intimacy. Zhao Renshu lay on Ping'an's lap, his head resting comfortably. Ping'an's head rested on Guo Baiyu's left shoulder, her right-hand holding Guo Baiyu's left hand, while her left hand rested on Zhao Renshu's chest, connecting all three.
"I want you two to know that I've been really happy for sixteen years," Ping'an said softly, her voice filled with profound contentment. "Thank you for loving me so much." She bent down and kissed Zhao Renshu, then Guo Baiyu, before leaning her head back on Guo Baiyu's left shoulder. "You two are the best thing that happened to me."
Immediately afterwards, a more stern, ominous screech sound came from the direction of Immortal Valley, chilling them to the bone. After a moment, Guozhao Zhiqiang ran into the house, his face pale with urgency.
"Masters! Shimu!" he panted, stopping abruptly in front of them, his breath ragged. "The Northern Fortress failed, and the monsters broke through!"
"No," Ping'an murmured, her eyes wide with shock and dread, the peaceful night shattered.
