“Have you ever wondered ? If the one to be devoured in the end would be you or me ?” from Jing Lin :3 ...

His tail twitched before he turned around to regard his wife. It was not so often as Cang Ji liked that Jing Lin found himself in a playful mood. Delighted—and wickedly so,— Cang Ji abandoned the wine he was warming on the stove to properly answer Jing Lin's question.

"Why should I wonder about such an ridiculous improbability?" he asked, a prideful disdain curling his bottom lip. He reached out to grab Jing Lin by his belt, pulling him into a firm yet wholly avaricious embrace. Cang Ji's arms wound about his slender waist like a vine, nearly crushing him to his chest.

"Only I have the power to devour heaven and earth," he explained in that pertinent way of his, callous and conceited, both. "And only I have the right to consume Lord Linsong in all the world, in every realm. I'd eat you up, to the last strand of your hair, so that no one else might have any piece of you. That is my right, that I bowed my head to heaven and earth, to those who came before, and to you to earn. Without dispute."

He bit the tip of Jing Lin's nose to punctuate his point. "Do you wish to try and devour me?" he asked, his voice now softening as it always did when he spoke to his wife. "Could you? Go on. I'd like to see you try."
