"I agree for you to have more than one partner."
"Are you being serious?" Gale said incredulously. "You know you don't have to answer this now. You can take your ti. This is, after all, the decision of your life."
Xiaolin shook her head. "I sure don't like it," she intoned, "but thinking about how distinguished n like Lord Heartfla married his second wife, it kind of made sense. I would've been heartbroken if he left Sage of the Azure moon."
"You're comparing to so great figure. I don't know if I can follow in their footsteps."
"But I'll be angry if you brought in every little stray you found to ho," Xiaolin continued.
"Let's hope I don't beco a lustful beast in my later years," Gale chuckled. "Also, rember we're speaking in hypothetical situations."
He took in a deep breath and sighed. "I can't believe you agreed. I had this talk with Selene, and she poked with a knife."
Well, poke was an understatent. The knife had reached his bone. That was one derit of loving a yandere. They take everything to extres even when the stuff ntioned was hypothetical.
"If that stopped you, I don't mind doing that too," Xiaoiln said in an inaudible voice, "but that would be unbecoming of as your disciple."
"Found yourself at a disadvantage huh?" Gale shot her a knowing look. "I know. I was at that place too."
"What?" Xiaolin blinked.
"The first woman I fell in love with was my master," Gale said ruefully. "No, not that drunkard geezer, but the angel of my dream."
Xiaolin frowned, but didn't question more on the topic, even though she wanted to. This was one of the sore points of her Master's life, and he was still uncomfortable talking about it. He still hadn't told her about how he escaped from the pit. It was where probably the strategy happened.
"Do you have any other requirents?" Xiaolin asked, her heartbeat rising again as she finally comprehended. This was happening. She had dread about it since last month. Well, it was just over a month before she t Gale.
"Nah, that was just about it," Gale said, lifting her palm to kiss it gently. "Do you have any requirents of ?"
Xiaolin blinked, unsure if she had a say in this. "I can have them?"
"As long as you don't decide to sleep with another man," Gale said playfully, though she understood he was serious about it.
"No," Xiaolin said with a jab in her tone. "Thankfully, for most won, one man is enough."
"Hey, I thought we were speaking hypothetically," Gale complained. "Also, mind you, I'm not simply one man. You'll figure that out later."
Xiaolin blushed, figuring out the implication of his words as the hot emotions rose to her core. Seriously, she had to learn to control this. Why did her desires beco so heightened after her advancent? She hoped it was a temporary thing.
Anyway, to not dived back into those raw desires, she carried on with her requirents, getting her chance.
"You cannot flirt with another woman in front of ," Xiaolin said. "Especially not with that Qing'e."
"Even better," Gale agreed easily, not thinking much. "I'll ask for your consent if I ever decide to court another woman." He then added, "Hypothetically. For your information, I have always been a committed one-woman guy. Never been much of a womaniser."
Xiaolin snorted. "Secondly, you can't treat like I'm a child?"
Gale stopped laughing and seriously looked at her. This changed stuff.
"Can I still pat you, though?" He asked, evident uneasiness in his voice.
Xiaolin was about to say no, but the next phrase out of Gale's mouth changed her mind.
"If you say no, I might have to rethink all this."
Xiaolin gritted her teeth. "Fine," she said, "you can pat , but not in front of others."
"What if I can't resist?"
Xiaolin decided to not go on tangents with her master, as he was a master at changing topics and vibes of conversation like this. She still didn't know if he did it intentionally or simply as a habit of nature.
Also, as if to spite her, he brought his palm onto her head and pat her.
Xiaolin shot him a glare and continued on. "You'll cook the al for most days."
"You don't need to put that in the requirents," Gale said, still patting her. "I'm happy to do that for you all my life."
Xiaolin pouted. It was so hard to stay angry at her master, even when she was pretending.
She thought about the following requirents. In her stupor, she seed to forget about what she achieved, but that's most won's nature.
However, no matter how much she thought, she couldn't co up with any more requirents. Well, she could think of many other things like not patting her on the head in public, but she could achieve that through other ans.
So that's why Xiaolin played the cards that only the won play well.
"I'll keep the other requirents to myself for now."
"I can clearly see you doing that," Gale said, "but don't hope for any leeway in spirit arts. I'm your master in one place and a lover in another."
Gale got off the bed, finishing the little discussion. He was about to leave, but Xiaolin called her again.
"Wait."
Gale turned with a raised eyebrow, asking for what.
Xiaolin stopped to consider what she was about to say and found nothing left to say. She actually managed to get what she wanted.
"Master, this isn't a dream, right?"
"Unless you have a dreamwalking power," Gale chuckled. "Change now and rest. Your body requires it."
Gale hadn't managed to leave completely, as Xiaolin rolled on her bed, ignoring her pain, screaming in inaudible delight.
***
Xiaolin woke up late in the next morning, thinking all that happened yesterday was rely a dream.
Her fast recovery provided another reason for her to think all of it was a dream.
She was losing herself in all these thoughts when the door of her room opened, and she found her master walking in with a plate of food in his hand.
"Morning sunshine, I prepared the breakfast for you."
