Because of You

49

Yanli and Xichen left Wangji and Wuxian alone for a while after Yanli brought them some food. Wuxian sat with Wangji at the table and managed to keep his meal down this time. Wei Wuxian wanted to just let go of what happened to him. He wanted to just be in love with Wangji and live happily and peacefully. He will only get that when he has closure. So he believes anyway.

After the two ate, Wei Wuxian relaxed in bed for a while again. Wangji stuck with him but played Wangxian for him on his Guqin. Wei Wuxian rolled to his side and just watched his soulmate play. Wei Wuxian could only get lost in his staring. He didn't even hear Wangji stop playing.

"Wei Ying?" Wangji called out. It didn't work, so he tried again, "Wei Ying?!"

Wei Wuxian blinked a couple times as he was brought back to reality, "huh? What?" He asked.

"You were just staring at me, I tried calling you a couple times," Wangji told him.

"Oh, sorry," he replied as his cheeks began to feel warm, "I got lost in your beauty again."

Lan Wangji smirked, "it's hard to compare beauty with you here," Wangji said.

Wei Wuxian giggled and held out his arms making grabby hands, "come here, Love. I want my fiancé beside me," he said childishly.

Wangji shook his head as he stood up, "Mnn, you do not need to pout XianXian."

"XianXian wants A'Zhan," Wuxian said.

Lan Wangji chuckled and laid down beside him. He then pulled Wuxian close to him, his arms were wrapped around him as one of his hands rested in the back of Wuxian's head, tangling his fingers within his hair. Wei Wuxian let out a sigh of contentment. He felt so good just laying there in Wangji's arms.

"This is much better," Wuxian said as he glanced up to look into Wangji's eyes, "I love being in your arms like this."

"Then I will always have them open for you," Wangji told him.

The two laid there for a little while in silence. Wuxian rested his head on Wangji's chest. He nuzzled his head closer when he could hear Wangji's steady heart beating. It was so soothing to hear, and it helped him drift off to sleep for a while. Wei Wuxian woke up a few hours later. Wangji had his eyes closed so Wuxian assumed that he was still sleeping.

Wei Wuxian stretched his neck and placed his lips on Wangji's. Lan Wangji didn't open his eyes but he immediately responded back. He pulled Wuxian up a bit more so that Wuxian wasn't stretching so much. Wuxian let out a soft moan as he was so content with the situation. His head felt light and his body felt as if his spiritual energy rushed through his body and fed it to Lan Wangji.

Lan Wangji felt a warmth building up inside his dantian. His golden core began to spin, becoming hot, almost felt suffocating. At the same time, Wei Wuxian was keeping him calm with the kiss. Suddenly, Lan Wangji felt his golden core burst through his spiritual veins and gained immortality. Wei Wuxian helped him ascend.

Lan Wangji pulled away from kissing Wuxian and looked at him, "what did you just do?" He asked.

"I do not know, but I guess I helped you ascend to immortality," Wuxian said, "welcome to the immortality club."

Wangji smirked and carefully sat up. Wei Wuxian let him meditate for a bit before they went out to find the others and let them know about this new development of Lan Wangji's. The two found the sect leaders, head disciples, and heirs in the strategist tent. Nie Mingjue and Qingheng Jun were running the meeting.

"Wangji, A'Xian," Qingheng Jun greeted them.

"Fuqin, I have to inform you of something," Wangji said.

"What?" He asked.

"I just ascended," Wangji told him.

Qingheng Jun went over to him and checked his vitals, "Soulmate energy exchange?" He questioned, "seems like you and A'Xian are both needing to keep up with each other. If you are soulmates, you are to balance each other out."

"Ugh, you're welcome," Wuxian said.

Wangji couldn't help but rub his head, "thank you," he said.

Wuxian cleared his throat, "so I'm guessing Wen Ruohan isn't going to make things easy," he said.

"No, he has Wen Zhuliu doing most of his dirty work," Nie Mingjue said.

"Since everyone is here, I have a golden core protection charm that you can use to protect yourselves from Wen Zhuliu's attacks. Lan Zhan and Zewu Jun both know the charm as well so they can help place it," Wuxian explained.

They agreed to accept Wuxian's offer for the charm. Those who had the charm already were waiting patiently.

"Also, I understand that it is personal but Wen Ruohan is injured so he will be desperate I'm sure," Wuxian said.

"How did he get injured?" Jin Zixuan asked.

Wei Wuxian looked at his adopted parents, "it's up to you, A'Xian," Jiang Fengmian said.

Wei Wuxian placed a privacy barrier over the tent before telling them of his experience with Wen Ruohan and how he got injured. Especially how his two sons had died.

"Now I understand why Zewu Jun Suggested that either you and Lan er Gongzi to kill him," Jin Zixuan said.

"It's not easy to share something like that, are you going to be okay, A'Xian?" Qingheng Jun asked.

Wei Wuxian nodded, "I've got a lot of support here. I know I am not alone."

"Good for you," Qingheng Jun said.

"So, Wen Ruohan only has two yin shards. I think there is a chance to get through this," Nie Mingjue said.

"Wuxian has some great music that could be of use during the battles," Xichen told them, "Wangji and I know them as well. Between the three of us it should be a leverage. We just need to make sure we are protected as we can't play and use a sword at the same time."

"We will make sure to have people close by. You can pick who you trust most to accompany you," Qingheng Jun said.

"Sounds good then," Xichen said, "Wangji, A'Xian, why don't we go discuss what we should play and when. Then we can discuss it with everyone else when we have ideas of when we would play."

"Okay," Wuxian said and Wangji nodded before they followed Xichen out.
