War Prisoner - Chapter 40

Su Yi could not tell how much time had passed, he only felt that he was about to die from having to forcibly restrain himself from giving in to the powerful waves of pleasure. Caught in the implacable gulf between morality and sexual desire, he could only gasp for breath, and his body felt weak and unsteady. Sapped of even the ability to control his own vocalisations, the sound of his own moans rang in his ears. “Ah ah ah... en... wu wu...” Lewd sounds like these were emerging from his mouth, almost like he was speaking an obscene language, and then there was the charming cry that signalled the approaching peak of pleasure. He simply could not stand to believe it, but the one who had made that sound was none other than himself.

His trembling legs were still propped up on Wanyan Xu's shoulders, but only because Wanyan Xu was still holding up his thighs, if he hadn't done so, those wobbly legs would have slipped off long ago. For the first time, Su Yi found that he was not as strong as he had previously imagined, he was unable to maintain control over all the four emotions [1] life had to offer. He had violated the resolution he had set, not only could he maintain indifferent to the demands Wanyan Xu made on his body, but the intense pain his violation had caused had also been accompanied by undeniable pleasure. Tormented by his conscience, he felt like he was about to go mad, but suddenly, he felt a burst of scalding heat flood his back passage. Of course, the cause of this heat was that Wanyan Xu had finally and exhaustively released his love fluids into that passage, which was still very flexible in spite of having become relaxed.

The bedroom became quiet for a moment, the rays of the setting sun crept in through the windows, under this illumination, the room appeared to be as breathtakingly lovely as a scene in a fantasy. After such vigorous exercise, the two people on the bed were panting and struggling to catch their breath. Wanyan Xu lay down, lovingly took Su Yi into his embrace and said apologetically: “Su Su, I [2] have hurt you, right? Aii, I had intended to bear with it a while long, but in the end I could tolerate it anymore. I wasn’t even aware of what I was doing, I only knew I couldn’t stop myself from racing ahead...” Before he could finish, Su Yi’s face had turned pale, in a shaky voice, he said: “Don’t... Don’t say anymore, I beg of you, please don’t say any more.” 

Wanyan Xu stopped speaking as he immediately understood that Su Yi was ultimately unable to undo the knot in his heart [3] and was still tormented by guilt. Looking down, he saw that there were traces of blood staining Su Yi's snowy-white thighs, and could not help but be distressed. Likewise, when he suddenly saw a trail of ropey liquid --- coloured white, but mingled with some red --- flowing down slowly, he was also unable to keep himself from feeling a bit of delight. That was his own seed, his seed was inside Su Su's body, this knowledge made him incomparably gratified. His Su Su belonged to him finally.

When this thought crossed his mind, that enormous object between his legs seemed to react by growing a consciousness of its own and was soon standing up proudly again. The two of them were still pressed up against each other, bare skin against bare skin, so Su Yi could immediately feel the change, and his body began to shrink backwards involuntarily. In his fright, he resembled a little rabbit that had been cornered by a fierce hound; in Wanyan Xu's eyes this adorable behaviour caused him to feel even more love and pity. Forcefully suppressing the flaming lust still burning in his lower abdomen, he quickly grabbed hold of Su Yi again and enveloped him in a tight hug. In a soothing voice he said: “Su Su don’t be afraid, this is your first time, I will not make another demand so soon.” So saying he lifted Su Yi and said: “You must be exhausted, besides your body is not only sweaty, it also... oh, also... that thing... and blood... Let me carry you to the bathroom to wash up.”

Su Yi couldn't speak, only after a while was he able to say: “I’ll... I’ll go wash up by myself.” Unexpectedly, Wanyan Xu picked him up into a bridal carry and said laughingly: “How could you wash up by yourself, I'm afraid that you don't even have the strength to walk to the bathing pool now. Be obedient, it's better than I go with you. I can check if there are any injuries to that area at the same time, the two of us are now considered husband and wife, what’s there for you to be shy about? No matter how shy you are, you will have to become accustomed to this in future.”

So saying, without waiting for any further protests, he carried Su Yi to the large bath in the Garden of Merriment. The room was lavishly decorated with glistening jade everywhere, the light reflected off of them filled the room with a delicate green glow. Countless pearls of legendary beauty and size --- as large as pigeons' eggs --- studded the tall white marble pillars holding up the roof, and exquisite brocades and embroidered fabrics were draped in profusion throughout the room. These opulent decorations set off the simple beauty of the large and magnificent pool perfectly, the contrast creating an extraordinarily elegant and luxurious effect. Wanyan Xu unconsciously smiled and said: “That Qi Emperor really knew how to enjoy life; he could even create a bathroom that resembles a fairyland.” After the words had slipped out, he suddenly realised that the mention of this would likely cause Su Yi heartbreak, and hurriedly shut his mouth.

Numerous petals had been scattered in the water by palace maids who had formerly served in the Qi palace, when the two of them were in the pool, Wanyan Xu's olfactory senses were assailed by the distinctive fragrance. Frowning, Wanyan Xu said: “Where did these petals come from?” The maids respectfully answered: “They were picked from flowers grown in the royal gardens.” Wanyan Xu gave a grunt, nodding, he said: “This is alright for now, but in future there is no need to place petals here, neither Su Su nor I like them. Besides, to pamper oneself so much even when taking a bath, as time goes on, how can one refrain from overindulging in a life of luxury? It can't be helped that this bathroom has already been so extravagantly decorated by its former master, but in future do remember that we must be more prudent and cut out the unnecessary things. All we need is a pool of clear water that is of appropriate temperature.” 

When the palace maids heard this, they hurried to sound their obedience and promptly put away all the various precious oils and creams that had been collected in the room, leaving only mirrors, combs, towels and other essential supplies on the shelves beside the pool, ready for use.

Wanyan Xu turn his head back, gathering Su Yi in his arms, he said softly by the side of his ear: “Su Su, thinking back on that episode we had in the baths of Jin Liao Palace, it's hard to believe that we would ever share a moment of tenderness like we are doing now. Aii, I... I was too cruel to you that day.”

So saying he cupped his hands to scoop out water and poured it on Su Yi's body, wiping the impure fluids from his thigh. Looking at the reflection of that well-proportioned body with fine translucent skin on the pool's surface, he found it increasingly tantalising. He couldn't resist the temptation, since Su Yi was leaning against his chest because he couldn't hold himself upright, Wanyan Xu took full advantage of the opportunity to steal a few kisses. After that, he turned Su Yi’s body over and said gently: “Su Su, bear with this for a while, let me see if there is any injury to that place, and I will clean out those things I left in you at the same time. If I don't, your stomach will become uncomfortable.”
