Chapter 141: Chapter One Hundred And Forty One - I am a cloud?

Two Baku ran side by side down the gentle mountain slope, their trunks swaying from side to side as they moved. One Baku was sturdy and yet there was an elegance as its paws padded along the ground, each strong muscle in its furred legs flexing and relaxing as it ran with relative ease. This Baku held two riders, but did not seem to care about the weight. The other Baku was, for want of a better word, fat and plodded heavily along, wheezing every so often and trumpeting in complaint. The beast was a soft pink and were it not for its excessive body weight, would have been sought for by many young ladies as an elegant mount. Fortunately or unfortunately, its existing female owner liked its plushness and continued to spoil it stupidly.

"Slow down!" The girl called out to the pair on the sturdy mount, but was simply glared at by the taller of the two riders, before his onyx eyes lowered and looked at the large mount beneath her in distaste. However, before he could refuse her request audibly, she added; "Leon is asleep, wouldn't be well for him if he fell off!"

Jin Li glanced down at the youth leaning into his chest; it seemed that he really had fallen asleep. Using me as a pillow again? Very good...! Jin Li sneered slightly, but pulled on the reigns to slow the mount he had borrowed from the school. At the same time, he wrapped an arm about the sleeping alchemist. Just try to fall off now!

"You really shouldn't keep him awake all night," Maimai said with a bright grin upon her pretty face. She had absolutely no qualms speaking aloud with suggestive words. He needs rest from time to time!"

Jin Li frowned; "What are you implying? This Lord has nothing to do with his sleepless night. This Lord slept quite soundly." This was true, once he had stopped devouring Leon's mouth and moved away from him, he had been able to repress his thing and drift to sleep. Granted, there remained some dissatisfaction in his heart, but...

"You really did nothing to him?" Maimai questioned startled and glanced over at the peacefully sleeping boy, contently nestled in Jin Li's arms. "Oh, so you didn't sleep in Leon's hut last night..." She pouted, somewhat disappointed.

"Whether I slept there or not," Jin Li said, with much irritation, "What business is it of yours?"

"As Leon's best friend," Maimai replied, indignantly, "I am simply looking out for his wellbeing!" It has absolutely nothing to do with the double yang romance coming into existence right before her eyes! Honest! "I care about him... as a friend!" She added this last bit hastily as the black of Jin Li's eyes seemed to darken impossibly more.

"You no longer need to care about him," Jin Li told her, his tone heavy with implied warning. "He has me to care for him."

But the girl refused to heed him. "So you inquired after him this morning? Do you know why he is so sleep deprived then? Was he making pills all night long?"

"No, he was not!" Jin Li found this small woman infuriating. He would inform his small alchemist to have nothing to do with her in the future. "He was like this from when this Lord rose to wake him this morning!"

Maimai was startled, he actually growled at her! But she was soon over that angry gesture of his when she heard his words. "So you did share a bed with him!" Her wicked grin returned, just glancing at it made Jin Li feel distinctly uncomfortable. "But you didn't touch him..." she sighed, believing that she had pinpointed the problem. Perhaps not just anyone with eyes knew how much Leon liked the martial artist, but Maimai did and suspected that perhaps Leon's sleepiness actually stemmed from having to lie beside this thoughtless lover without doing anything. She was partially correct, at least. "So mean!"

"I pity your future husband," Jin Li drawled, bitterly. "So full of contradiction! First lashing with your sharp tongue suggesting this Lord forced Leon to remain awake half of the night then bitter that this was not so? Not sure how exactly either reveals your care for this Lord's alchemist!"

The girl pouted once more, deciding to give Jin Li the silent treatment on Leon's behalf. She was difficult? Had he looked into the depths of a bronze mirror lately? Ah Leon, she thought to herself, if only you hadn't fallen for him! I could have found you a nice, caring gong instead of this walking, cold flame! Then the only tiredness you would experience, is that of a youth experiencing summer after spring!

The gates of Julip town came into view and Maimai decided to hurry her Piku, much to the Baku's unhappiness. Jin Li did not bother to catch up with her, he had no intention of accompanying her from the beginning! However, Maimai was a girl who liked to have the last word so threw back a few cryptic words for Jin Li's ears; "Two clouds cannot pass by each other in the sky, must follow the same path, but two clouds may come together in the sky, then surely can make rain!"


Chapter 142: Chapter One Hundred And Forty Two - He is ignorant, I am naive

Jin Li was not completely ignorant about 'making clouds and rain', despite his knowledge being sketchy and his body being pure. For instance, he knew that a man intimately sleeping with a woman could result in a child and he knew that the act was supposed to be pleasurable. He knew that a man could become slave to that pleasure; take his cheap uncle who adored the taste of fresh flowers and he knew that a man could also buy that pleasure in a brothel. He was also aware that within those brothels there were men in those brothels who catered to the wants of men in addition to the women selling themselves.

However the idea that a man could become a fool driven by lust disgusted him, just as that uncontrollable part annoyed him before he learnt to suppress it. Only then along came Leon and Jin Li could admit that his body desired him. His tongue enjoyed invading Leon's mouth, his lips were happy to dominate the small alchemist's. Pressing him down... feeling that smaller frame caged beneath him... but then what?

Being of proud mind and stubborn stance, he would not admit aloud that he had no clue to the relations that occurred between a man and a man, plus it was not as if there was a need or ability to procreate between them... so why bother with it. He could only suppress that part with a little frustration and maintain a state of control within ignorance.

Leon on the other hand was from another era and land where sex was spoken about a little more openly, where gay relations were fairly accepted in places and two men could even marry (he had no idea if this was possible in this realm). He was very aware of how two men could come together and he was even quite aware of what role he would play, especially seeing as Jin Li enjoyed lying upon him in dominance.

But of course, he could not read minds and was not aware that his knowledge outweighed Jin Li's. He also assumed a little naively that the top was the instigator of such relations, thus he needed to wait upon Jin Li's initiation. However, he believed (after much thought) that Jin Li was too new to his feelings and not ready to take the next step and in truth, they had only officially been together a couple of ten days, so it was understandable.

In conclusion, Leon and Jin Li spent the following three nights in this half-assed, physically frustrating state of their own making.

The trip to town was still a worthy one, with Leon making a good bag of silver on his batch of improved blood pills. Pharmacist Clawse was very pleased with the quality of them.

"I used the b-b-better qu-quality p-purple spirit g-g-grass," Leon mentioned. This had resulted in the improved pills being of high quality, thus Clawse gave him more money for them.

"Have you improved any other pills recently?" The older man asked as he poured tea for the alchemist and martial artist. Jin Li picked up the offered beverage and breathed in the aroma. The corners of his lips curled upward a tad, so Leon knew he was satisfied with the tea. With a contented smile of his own, he turned his attention back to Clawse and gave his reply.

"W-well, I h-h-have exp-perimented a b-b-bit," he confessed. "H-however, don't kn-know if those p-p-pills will b-b-be b-better than the originals."

Pharmacist Clawse gave a curt nod. "Even though I don't like it," he said as he gently blew the swirling steam coming from his own cup in hand, "the 'gentleman' I introduced to you last time happens to have a small skill in identifying pills and their traits. Perhaps he could help."

Jin Li sneered, but said nothing, simply taking a sip of his drink. Leon remembered the person Mr Clawse spoke of; his name was Ursam and if Leon recalled correctly, he was a bit of a pervert. Still, if he could tell if there were changes, good or bad to his experimental pills, it was better than attempting to test them on live subjects. He shuddered inwardly, recalling that Leo had no qualms about this, but fortunately did not do foolish things such as testing on students the moment the pill was formed. Leo always researched thoroughly before experimenting. However a few small animals had died unhappily, though a few more actually had benefited. Leon shook away his morbid thoughts; he was not Leo and Leo was no longer around to defend himself. Plus, his experiments had definitely produced more good than evil, so best to let him rest in peace.

As for his own pills, Leon decided to come to town with those pills the following four day break to ask the old pervert to test them. He was eager to know the results!
