Luo Binghe had only a handful of seconds to realize that he had charged into an Omega’s den before something sweet entered his nose and then instant pain as a cup both hit-dead center into his nose and shattering on impact.
The Heavenly Dragon wasn’t going to let that stop him from getting closer. A flare of qi and his horns grew, giving off the image of power and for competition dominance. He would have let his mane grow more but a snarl formed on the other side of the room.
Having sat up from the intruder and an unwanted Alpha entering his house and coming near his nest, Shen Qingqiu was most definitely not in the mood or even in the condition to defend himself. He had spent several days clenching his sheets as his heat wreak havoc on his body and blurred his sense of reasoning.
He flared what’s left of his qi, on the edge of a qi deviation if he didn’t pay attention. His tail flick back and forth to display to the alpha his agitation and his claws came out. He probably looks like the mythical Zheng at the moment.
Ready to prey on any predator that came his way.
Liu Qingge, the white tiger, had learned his lesson after having to be the one to give him the food to last him the fore-night his heat would last.
Oh that, his heat that was mandatory, Mu Qingfang had said that he had to get off his suppressants every few years in order for his cultivation not to be affected.
Now he is in this predicament.
His disciple had survived and returned from the Endless Abyss. No doubt to bring his fury on the feline.
The dragon was just a never-ending stream of sage and freshly craved wood….if you didn’t throw in the fact he was using it as a threat instead of a display of wanting to impress the omega.
The red eyes of the Alpha were glowing in the evening light. A growl was building in his throat and the rumble vibrated the very air between the two parties.
“So does Shizun wish to greet this disciple?” The rumble continued and Shen Qingqiu felt his fangs come in as his ears started to turn more feline-like.
“I don’t need to greet someone who dares charge in without announcing his presence, beast.”
The rumble became a chuckle and a step forward had Shen Qingqiu hissing at the advancement to his nest.
“Oh dear Shizun, Aren’t we both beasts in our hearts?” Another step forward and the scent changed to presenting to a potential mate.
He chokes on the scent change and a shiver runs down his whole body as he curls in on himself. Having dealt with the pain of unsatisfied needs had left him exhausted. The steps increased in speed and the confidence of the invading Alpha was through the roof.
“Does Shizun need his disciple?” A hum followed after that and turn into a rumble, a mockery of alphas inability to produce a purr.
A tremble went through his body as his senses got supercharged and he turned back into his base form. He was so tired… he needed.. he needed.
Shen Qingqiu was pulled into the lap of the Alpha and the ‘purr’ settled his instincts and then he was gone.
——
The dragon was curled outside the bamboo house. The sun felt quite nice on his scales.
A purr was being produced in the middle of the curls and the dragon’s head was settled right next to the body that laid stretched out.
A snow leopard with a very noticeable bump was currently sleeping in the afternoon sun. The peak was a great advantage point to get the best of the rays. With the dragon to block any winds that would ruffle fur increased the ease of just being in the moment…
A moment that can end so easily.
——
“Oh Shizun, shouldn’t you return to the palace?”
Shen Jiu was… displeased with his current position in life. On one hand, he didn’t have to worry about always being on guard about attackers. On the other hand, the one protecting him was Luo Binghe.
The Dragon Emperor had quickly captured the realms and had been keeping Shen Jiu from his former sect.
Yue Qingyuan had been trying to make some steps towards the release of Shen Qingqiu, but the wolf didn’t know that he wouldn’t be getting him back.
Shen Jiu received a lick to his ear, the feline still enjoying the sun wasn’t about to move. His purrs lowered in volume.
A shift was heard and a change in position had Shen Jiu’s head in Luo Binghe’s lap.
The emperor scratched behind his ear and he unwillingly flicked his tail in pleasure. Luo Binghe changed to petting his fur. Though for the most part, his fur had been soft it seems to increase into a silk-like quality of softness around his belly.
Stroking his belly, Luo Binghe decided to lay down and just rest on his side to continue petting his belly area.
“I think they’ll be dragons.”
Letting out a huff of disagreement, the leopard flick his tail to hit the dragon. The dragon thought it be better to nip him on the ear and the emperor laughed as he was met with a swing of a paw meeting his face.
Grabbing the paw, Luo Binghe rubs the pad and the omega lets him flex his claws in and out before getting his paw back.
“I guess I’ll just carry Shizun.”
Shen Jiu just chuffed at him and he was indeed carried. Xin Mo made the portal to Hua Huan Palace, making their way off the peak before they were spotted.
——
“Shen Qingqiu killed my family and I demand justice for my house.” Qiu Haitang was the one speaking to the emperor. A common cat speaking to the emperor about another feline sounded like the start of a bad joke.
‘Must be hair raising.’ Luo Binghe was bored. Though the wanting of justice wasn’t anything new, directed Shen Qingqiu was a curious matter.
“And what should Shen Qingqiu do to repent for his crimes against you?”
“I only see death as the clear option.” Luo Binghe just had a strained smile and would have continued with it if hissing and snarling weren’t being heard outside the throne room.
Shen Jiu, in his leopard form, was being dragged in with chains wrapped around his neck and several foreign guards (severally wounded) pulling him in all directions.
Though he was an Omega, he was also a high-standing cultivator and he was treated as if he was equal to a common beta.
Luo Binghe stood up and his mark flared up along with his horns.
“What is the meaning of this?” The dragon hissed and the room seems to drop a few degrees.
Qiu Haitang was pleased with seeing Shen Qingqiu at his most vulnerable.
One of the unfamiliar guards spoke, “We found the prisoner outside, it looked like he was making an escape.” Knowing Shen Jiu who actually likes climbing in his leopard form… no he wasn’t.
Luo Binghe breathed in as Shen Qingqiu try to lunge at one guard only to be pulled in another direction.
Luo Binghe's eyes darken and he tightened his smile.
“Who said he is a prisoner?”
Qiu Haitang looked back to the emperor and shot back a reply.
“Is he not a prisoner?”
A burst of Qi had everyone in the room on the floor. It took Qiu Haitang to realize too late that Shen Jiu was out of her reach and the massive form of the Dragon Emperor looms over everyone in the room.
Shen Jiu was huddled just under the dragon’s chest, a very much stressed cat and omega.
-and Shen Jiu’s Alpha was pissed.
——
A burning of nearly the whole main hall had caused much delay in business but Luo Binghe needed the time off.
Because his Omega was about to give birth.
He laid in his bed-chamber with Shen Jiu back to his chest and the omega was breathing in heavily and the nursemaid gave him the instructions to push.
A hand had wandered too close to his chin and when the final push came, Luo Binghe didn’t mind the fact that Shen Jiu’s fangs dug into his skin.
Still hurt like a bitch.
——
One of Luo Binghe's favorite things to do was simply lay Luo Ying on his lap and watch the babe cling to his finger.
“He’s going to claw you.” Shen Jiu said from his guqin and sure enough, the babe’s hand turned into a paw and smacked the finger away.
