Bai Yuqing coughed softly and looked away, his voice carrying a strange hint of huskiness. "Qinghe, don't take your clothes off so readily in front of outsiders again. It's... improper."
"Outsiders?"
"...In front of your master, it's fine."
"..."
Who the hell would just strip in front of other people?
I'm not a damn exhibitionist!
"...Yes, Master. Your disciple will heed your teachings."
As he spoke, his silky inner robe slipped from his shoulders.
Bai Yuqing's gaze abruptly froze, locking onto the nape of his neck.
There, on that slender, graceful neck, was a red mark that had yet to fade!
"You were only away for three days, and you!" Bai Yuqing's chest heaved. He strode forward, yanked off Xiao Qinghe's clothes, and stripped him completely bare.
"M-Master?" Xiao Qinghe was dumbfounded.
He could put up with two grown men seeing each other naked, but why was his master's knife-sharp gaze sweeping over his body as though he wanted to slice him into a thousand pieces?
Why did this feel so fucking much like coming home smelling of another woman's perfume and having his wife strip him for an interrogation?
Bai Yuqing's piercing gaze roamed over him.
His body was just like the man himself.
Refined and graceful, lean and slender, with a hint of cool elegance.
Nothing was amiss with that familiar body.
Only that red mark on his nape lingered, nearly faded yet not quite gone, as though making one last desperate struggle, stabbing into Bai Yuqing's eyes with its suggestive redness.
What an eyesore!
That Demon Clan must have left it to provoke me!
Shameless!
After defiling my only beloved disciple, he still dared to be so brazen!
