She was still very mad about how she had seen Meiya cozy up to him. She decided, he would be punished by her disappearance for two days. And so, she sent a letter to them, pushing the meeting to two days later at a changed location. At the same time, she could help Yan Hangeng search for Meiyun first.
"Do you think someone has the stone?" Tian Yu asked Meiya. "The Ghouls are all decapitated and the Ghoul Lord has been defeated." It didn't seem very logical to him that the Ghouls had Meiyun, and then later let her go, even if they didn't have the stone. If they didn't have Meiyun in the first place, it could be someone else misleading them that Meiyun was in their hands.
"It seems like..." the assassin thought.
"It could be even Meiyun herself," Yuwu deduced. "Try and recall her handwriting. Or her writing style." Among the three of them, he was the wisest, being an imperial magister. He had often kept quiet, as there was often nothing to say.
"The note!" Meiya said. "Now that you mentioned it, something seemed familiar about the handwriting. She often wrote a particular character with a stroke missing." She pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket. After some silence between them, she said, "What could be she aiming to get from this?"
"What's her connection to the stone?" Tian Yu asked. "I see it this way, the Ghouls want the stone, the Sky Kingdom wants to protect the stone, and only she knows the secret to the stone. It may be possible that it's her who wants the stone for herself, by trying to lead the person who has the stone out."
"You mean that, she could have been misleading us and the other person who might have the stone," Meiya said.
"How long has she been missing?" Tian Yu asked.
"About fifty thousand years," Meiya answered. "She's a realm-traveller. We may be descendants from the Sky Kingdom, but she is..on her own."
.......................................................................................
Meanwhile in the Sky Kingdom, Fengjiu and Donghua together stared at the large 100 inches LCD-like screen before them.
"The Spy Network?" Fengjiu repeated after her. "Is this how you have been managing the affairs of the Realms for these tens of thousands of years after the fall of Miao Luo? I've heard you speak of it, but now looking at it, it seems.. rather diverse compared to that 'sending all the agents from the Nine Heavens to watch the evil in the mortal world' task that you proposed twenty thousand years ago. I'm a High Immortal now, Husband. I'm not that innocent fox I used to be. Surely I would understand if you explained to me." It had been a whole spy network integrated system, as opposed to what he had proposed to her back then.
"Ha," said Donghua, "I told you that you were panicking for no reason about that green wisp of evil that Chen Ye saw."
"Correction, Immortal Tian Yu, not Chen Ye." Fengjiu said clearly. "Are we just getting them into a bigger mess by sending them to Yuqi at this time when Agent 84 is hunting down Agent 86 and the stone? Should we ask them to come back?"
Donghua just smiled. "Not worth your attention, Wifey. They're immortals now, not mortals. Either way, it's no threat to them. It's on the shoulders of the Spy Network."
"They've already returned 50 escaped immortals to the Sky Kingdom," Fengjiu argued. "What if all this creates rifts between them?"
"Wifey, you're really thinking too much." He pointed to her robes, and with his magic, her robes fell off her in an instant. "You're going to get it from me. Nothing is worth my wifey's attention. Not another male." He stared deeply in her eyes, and she felt intoxicated from his 'gaze of love'. So dominating, and yet, so filled with love. Cold to others, warm to her. She was sinking in the sea of love and desire for him.
"How long is it going to take this time?" she asked as she felt him filling her up fully with his entry. "What do you think?" he said with a wink. "You're only allowed to think of me now."
As the room filled with sensual noises, Siming shook his head and walked away, thinking to himself, I suppose I'll return in a fortnight.
....................................................................
- At the Shuchang Forest, after a day of searching for Meiyun -
"Actually, I think you should talk to your husband," the demon said to Zhi Xun. "How long can the kidnapping and ransom act hold on for? And the fact you're married, and having a cold war."
"I'm just pissed with the fact he locked me up only to go with that seductress on that so-called mission," she grumbled. "If you treat me as your friend, you should support me, you know."
"Okay, madam," the demon said, knowing she was not in a good mood. "Hey, they're here. Duck."
They stepped backwards into the bushes, where Zhi Xun and the demon hid in the shadows. With their black leather suits, they were unnoticeable.
"Meiyun should appear soon," Meiya said to Tian Yu, who appeared distracted. They stood slightly apart from each other. Zhi Xun whispered to Hangeng, "how did you suspect she will be here?"
"I hacked into her smartphone, which she also uses as a journal. Actually, she is my former lover," Hangeng admitted. "The point about me stealing the stone, was for her. She couldn't figure out the complicated dials and puzzles to unlock the treasury, so I went to steal it for her."
"But has she been communicating with her older sister?" Zhi Xun whispered. "How is it that Meiya was tipped off that the Ghoul Clan captured Meiyun?"
"They do have a matching magical band that they use to communicate between each other," Hangeng explained. "But I am not sure why she has been sending messages to her sister and cousin if she ran away in the first place. I think...she has a problem with her older sister. On the tip-off, it wasn't that hard. In her latest journal entry, she left a note to her sister with a disguised handwriting. She left me one, too. But because she has the habit of leaving out a stroke in one of the characters she writes, I can always tell the difference. From the note and her journal, I could tell that she really wants the stone."
"Did her sister try to seduce you?" Zhi Xun asked, recalling the assassin's attempts at seducing her husband at the den. The demon hung his head. "But I didn't let her. It was just what she chose to believe."
"Well, actually you didn't need my help finding her, do you?" she asked. "You have been helping her, but you're afraid to meet her yourself because you feel you've let her down."
They stopped talking as they saw Meiyun appear from another corner of the forest. "You've finally appeared. Do you have the stone?"
"You were the one behind all this, weren't you?" Meiya asked. "The message was from you. What do you actually want to do? Do you think you'll be happy if you become the most powerful witch in the world? Two immortals have died, and their souls placed into the stone. Will you be happy if the evil power of the stone consumes you?" She watched as Meiyun trembled at the weight of her sister's words. "Stop playing games, sister. Come home. To tell you the truth...Nothing happened that night."
Zhi Xun looked at the demon. "Are you going to go to her?"
He watched as the two sisters embraced each other. "I don't want to complicate things. It's...just enough she is happy." Zhi Xun nodded and closed her eyes in concentration, transporting them back to the demon's abode in a minute.
After dinner, she sat on the sofa as the demon typed violently on his laptop, apparently hacking again. "What do you plan to do about the stone?" she asked. "You don't really have any desire for it, and Meiyun doesn't need it, as she has her sister now. If you don't mind, I can hold it for you." The demon put his hand into his pocket and tossed it onto her lap, continuing to hack.
"Are you reading her messages?" she asked, but the demon didn't answer.
......................................................................................
Two days had passed. Tian Yu pulled himself together and looked outside the window and tried to calm his thoughts. Since the incident at the forest, Meiya was gone, along with her sister and cousin. That had just left a missing puzzle piece. Who had taken Zhi Xun? When he got his hands on that person, the person would suffer his wrath. And if something had happened to her, that person would not see the light of day ever again.
It had shattered his heart so much to face the empty bed, empty seat at the dining table and look at the sad walls of the house. "You were my eternal fate," he said. "How could I have left you all alone? Xiao Xun, please come back." A lone tear found its way down his right cheek. He had slammed his hand into the wooden table so many times that it no longer hurt. If slapping himself could do anything to bring her back, he would have done it as well. Two days had felt too long. His heart and body pined for his wife. But being sad wasn't the answer.
He picked up the letter, and read its location again. "I'll get you back at all costs, Xiao Xun. You're all that means to me in my immortal life. If I were to live eternally without you beside me, I would rather not live. I can't live."
At this point, when he was speaking his thoughts, Zhi Xun felt a small, sharp pain radiating in her heart. She realised it was his pain she was feeling, and she wondered if she had been too harsh with him.
"He's here," the demon told her. "Just lure him to this room and you can go," Zhi Xun said. "I'll recite magic to bind myself up, and it'll look like I was kidnapped." The demon nodded and transformed himself into a masked assassin in black, before doing as Zhi Xun had instructed.
Since his good friend was hurt by this man, one thing Hangeng could do to help them was allow the man to redeem himself. He would test the man's strength, and exchanged a few blows with the man, and get him a bit hurt so that Zhi Xun would pity him. As powerful as he was, Tian Yu didn't stand much chances against the demon lord who was quicker in moves than he could handle. He was surprised that his opponent had left when he was covered in external bruises, although his opponent definitely had the upper hand in their battle. He definitely could have taken my life, Tian Yu thought. Why did he let me go? He had sensed that the demon was only using one-third of his actual power.
He cast some healing magic on his wounds, and entered the next room, carefully looking for Zhi Xun. Upon entering the last room, he was struck by the sudden sight of Zhi Xun standing, bound and gagged. She had made it as realistic as possible, appearing to be 'kidnapped' while having her hands bound to ropes above her head. The sight of her in that manner was tempting to him. Quickly, he took out the cloth gag from her mouth.
"Wifey, I'm here." She turned away and refused to look at him.
"You must be still angry about being locked up," he said.
"Right, you went with another girl and didn't let me accompany you," she mouthed in anger.
"How can I let you believe that I didn't do anything with her?" he asked, and she remained silent. She was still angry that the assassin had put her claws on him, and he sensed her anger.
Since she was still bound, she couldn't run away, he thought, and cupped her cheeks and began kissing her passionately, before stopping for a few seconds. "You're turning me on right now, Xiao Xun, when you're in a position like this," he whispered. She quivered as he licked her ear with his tongue, and slowly began undoing her robes. His arousal was strong, and she wished she hadn't cast such a strong spell to bind herself especially with his temptation. She felt tickled as he ran his tongue over her nude torso. Still, he hadn't untied her.
"Very sexy. Shall I test it?" he teased, and peeled off her underwear before she could say anything more. She knew her body was responding to his teasing, and in anger, she yelled, "I am not giving in to you right now! Get away from me-". She had barely finished her words when her eyes fell on his bloodied robe. "You're hurt?"
He made a duckie face and gazed into her eyes. "Yes, do you feel pained that I'm hurt?"
She gave a humph and turned her head away from him. "Serves you right. I don't care."
"Oh, is it so?" he rubbed his crotch, still under a few layers of robes, against her bare crotch. She felt her body warming to his touch, and used all her strength to contain herself from letting out a moan. He laughed, and commented, "Ah, my babe is playing tough tonight and making it hard for me. Let the games begin."
Fifteen minutes before the spell would end, she thought. And she was getting tormented for every second while she was in this state. If she knew, she wouldn't have used so much power in this spell. He seemed absolutely satisfied in her torment. "More," he teased. "Turn me on more."
She opened her mouth to protest, only to have him silence her with the hunger of his kisses, and she eventually gave in to the call of her sensuality and said the magic words. He knew what to do to make her really hungry. He heard her breathing intensify, as he slipped his fingers inside her to taste her wetness. It was time for magic, he thought as he cast a spell to release her and relieve himself of his clothing.

He eased into her gently, enjoying the warmth of her body as she rode him furiously on the rugged floor of the strange cottage. "I love you," he whispered gently as they made love again and again. Hopefully, this was the best makeup sex for them. Unless, of course, if she had other thoughts on her mind. Of course, he hadn't expected that they would be dealing with some more drama in the morning.
