Chains and Leashes

Vidyadhara!Dan Heng/Reader NSFW Drabble

Minors DO NOT interact

Masterlist

Just one tug on the chain leash was enough to have you crawling towards your lover. Dan Heng had a lazy smile on his face, eyes soft and shadowed with lust.

All you wore was the tight collar he had bought for you, blue and gold scales printed onto the skillfully crafted leather. Soft against your skin and it was all he wanted you to wear tonight.

You crawled towards him, eyes up to look at him, only slightly embarrassed from being completely naked before him. It was easy to ignore the feeling in favor of feeling your heart surge from the praise Dan Heng held in his eyes.

“You look beautiful,” he murmured, spreading his thighs to allow you to sit between them. “Are you comfortable?” His fingers hooked beneath the collar.

 “It’s not too tight, is it?” Concern laced his words, every part of him desiring to focus on you and how you were feeling. Even if this was about exploring his own hidden desires.

You shook your head, smiling up at him, excitement making you wiggle your body in place. You had been shocked when Dan Heng had admitted to you that he wanted to see you in a collar. Even more so when he said that he was a pretty possessive person deep down, desires and urges that he kept hidden due to the dangerous nature of them. But it had also been an exciting discovery that you were ready to help him explore. 

Dan Heng gave a small tug at the leash, guiding you up and onto his lap, curling the chain leash around his other fist. He was blushing wildly, hesitant as he guided you. He held his breath, worried he would hurt you but enchanted by your body and how that collar looked on you. It was like he completely owned you, it was a symbol that you belonged to him and only him. His nostrils flared at that thought, eyes darkening even further.

You swore you saw his suppressed Vidyadhara powers emerging, pupils thinned into slits, glowing blue as they roved over your entire body. But he was still holding back. His hands tightened around the chain, his jaw clenched, breath shuddering with each exhale. 

Determination drove you to climb into his lap, straddling him, your bare body pressed against his body and his bulge. His sharp eyes followed your every movement, deep, heavy breaths causing him to tug tighter on your leash, causing you to cough out a little bit.

Maybe if he was in his right mind, he would’ve been more worried, but seeing you like this, completely at his mercy, Dan Heng simply found himself finding it harder to hold back. His hardness made it hard to focus on his body’s reaction. Antlers shimmered on the crown of his head, teal colors shimmering beneath his now longer hair. You could feel a long appendage wrap around your waist, a glowing scaled tail holding you against him.

“I–” He blushed and looked away for a moment, embarrassed by the changes he was unable to control. “I’m sorry, this is…”

You bit your lip, arching your back to press your chest against him.

“It’s okay…I like it,” your mouth curved up, your heart warm when you saw his eyes soften to look upon you. It seemed to relax him to know you enjoyed his own excitement. 

“You do?”

You nodded, and lifted your chin, allowing him a better glance at the collar that looked perfect around your throat. The decorations upon it are of a Vidyadharan theme, colors related to his own colors. It made it even more perfect, made him even more possessive of it and you.

“There’s no need to hold back. We have a safe word, I will be fine,” you said, eyes kind while you stroked his face. Dan Heng pressed his cheek into your touch, comforted by your love.

He straightened up, tugging on the chain to pull you against his chest, breathing shallow as he stared at your naked form. A shadow passed over his teal eyes, sharp and possessive.

“Then I will show you what I want,” he said sternly, one of his hands going to the back of your head, fingers digging into your hair. “I cannot wait to see your face contorted in all the pleasure only I can give you.”

He tugged you into a rough kiss, his tongue gentle but commanding as he took control of you. It was addicting, he was addicting. Allowing yourself to let go and be controlled by your Vidyadharan lover felt freeing. And you could tell he liked it too, his own body willing to take control of everything you did, his fingers quick to keep upon your collar.

When he pulled away, a string of saliva connecting your mouths, he looked down on you, even more domineering than you thought he was capable of.

“Get on your knees, my pet.”

DAN HENG X READER 🐉 sfw | gn reader

SPOILERS FOR HSR (dan hengs past)

Dan Heng’s true form was definitely something to behold. From his arms now showing small scales, to glorious shining horns, to his tail. His tail was definitely something interesting, because whenever you entered the room, it started to wag.

Every single time you said hi to Dan Heng, just passing by the archives to get something, his tail would start wagging at the mere entrance of you.

Every time your hands would brush when he passes you a book he thinks you would like, his breath hitched and his tail wags. He has to stop it from curling around your waist and hugging you to his chest and kissing you senseless.

This is a man who has had the biggest crush on you since before he revealed his true form. He wanted to be sure that he could be the best self for you.

Now? he can only ever let you touch his horns and his tail. The only one he would let close at the darkest of nights. His confession was a little messy but it was confident. He loved you more than anyone, he would put you above all. How could he leave?

“i would give my everything to you. I would rip off my horns and scrape every scale i have if it means you will be happy, because you are my treasure. i believe i am born again and again just for you”

authors note ; i might start a movie/show reviewing blog 🏃 also honkai star rail requests open

Dan Heng felt as if the last few days had passed like a kaleidoscope. A colourful mirage of emotions he didn't want to feel. Events that took all his strength out of him. Memories that weren't his and yet they haunted him like the ghosts of the elders in the Scalegorge Waterscape. 

Only now, sitting by one of the waterfalls, did he get the impression that he finally had a moment of peace, torn away by the clawed claws of an evil fate. The quiet sound of the water was nothing like the voices of the soldiers who had encountered the mara a few days ago. 

It took him a long time to realize a simple fact — he chose a place where HE would come. A typical source of water from which he could draw strength. He smiled bitterly and turned his back. There was no point in running away from here. Even if the beauty surrounding him suddenly turned ugly, leaving an unpleasant aftertaste. 

His stay in Xianzhou Luofu turned his life upside down. The past had long legs. He ran as hard as he could but in the end it was faster. It caught him in a place he didn't want to return to. He wished that the wind playing in the branches of the twisted trees would blow away all thoughts from his head. Especially the one he had doubts about. 

[Reader]. She flooded his mind like a wave. He rejected his past. He drew a line between himself and Dan Feng. The title of Imbibitor Lunae was no longer his. He was sure Bailu would do just fine. She kept Luofu safe. He left all the residents in good hands. He told everyone his name was Dan Heng. Many still saw him as a previous incarnation. And even though it hurt like old wounds, he rejected their opinions. The express crew were his family and they didn't care about the sins of who he once was. Only their opinion mattered. At least that's what he thought.

Jing Yuan, although he wasn't like Blade, stuck to his previous name quite stubbornly. At least he was aware that the general was doing it out of habit, not out of pure hatred. Something he couldn't say about the old Yingxing. [Reader] was neither of them. She called him Dan Heng from the very beginning. Sometimes he wondered if they met after all of this, if she would still hold on to it. If she hadn't stood next to Sushang that day and met him first as an archivist, would she still have had reservations? Although he wasn't Dan Feng in her mouth, he was Dan Feng in her eyes. He had seen it in every conversation they had ever had since the truth came out and she managed to recognize him. 

Her eyes traced the pointy ears and followed the emerald horns even when they weren't there. She involuntarily talked about the things that Dan Feng loved. She recalled the times when he was still next to her, becoming embarrassed rather quickly when she realized what she was doing. He would interrupt anyone else who was doing it. This double standard only existed with her and it was eating him from the inside. 

Dan Heng bit his lip. He was like a gust that sometimes met the water. He rushed over the surface and saw his reflection but he was not a lake. What a strange feeling it was to be and not be loved at the same time. [Reader] loved his reflection. He could show it for a short while for her but no matter what he did, he couldn't become water because he was wind. 

It wasn't that he wanted to become Dan Feng. He hated his previous incarnation. Who he was and what he did. His predecessor followed him step by step, reminding him of himself and not letting him be who he wanted. But why did [Reader] have to be in love with him? In that hidden part of himself that he never wanted to become. 

This love was like a sea current. The swift current seemed to carry him away without any hope. And maybe because it resembled water, he wondered if it was his feelings, or maybe the remnants of the attachment of a former self that he had tried so hard to let go of. After all, they had known each other for such a short time, and he, as he deeply wanted to believe, was not a man who would give his feelings to anyone he came across. On the other hand, March immediately noticed that he was in love and said it was obvious. So maybe it was him after all? 

Dan Heng from [Reader] didn't sound like Dan Feng. Even if it was hiding behind it. Maybe he could pretend to be like him? He turned back towards the waterfall and looked at his reflection. Ripples in the water obscured his vision.

He wouldn't. He didn't want to be him. Never. Even for her. 

So maybe she could pretend? After all, he looked similar and had a fraction of his former power... 

He shook his head. Not at this price. Neither of them would be happy. 

At least he had memories. Even if they weren't his. Glimmers of light amidst the dark void of forgotten days. Sometimes they came back involuntarily. He hated the echo of Dan Feng's laughter, even though he felt like the joy was his own, but he loved [Reader's] laughter. Her silhouette looming somewhere under his eyelids. The same one that came back to him when they sat on the stairs after sunset after a hard day's work. The warmth of her lips, once so close, now within reach but at the same time eons away. How easy it was to lose himself in this old reality that was not his own. In that which interspersed his nightmares with sweet peace.

But these were stories of bygone days from several hundred years ago and he had to constantly remind himself that they did not belong to him. 

The sound of familiar footsteps sounded on the path. The wind brought the sound of trampled leaves. He didn't need to turn around to know who was standing there. Of course she figured out where to look for him. This was the place HE would came to. 

— Dan Feng. 

This was the first time something like this had happened. Until now, she had always been careful not to use his pre-reincarnation name. 

Maybe it was the sight of him surrounded by a familiar waterfall. Or one of the memories gnawed by the teeth of time, which now came to life in her eyes. He couldn't find it among the dark depths of his memory. If it existed, it belonged only to her. It was probably even better that way. This made "Dan Heng, not Dan Feng " easier to leave his mouth.

He wasn't ready for the regret that appeared on [Reader's] face. Nor for a tear that gathered in the corner of the eye, only to quickly disappear under a hard-blinking eyelid in confusion. However, he did not expect the feelings that spread around his heart even more. Jealousy, sadness and nostalgia of days gone by. He never found out if they really belonged to him. They were floating somewhere on the transparent surface of water, touched by the gust of wind.

[beansssssssss]

Vidyadhara canonically cannot reproduce. Yueyuan in the alchemy commission tells us this very explicitly:

If you are desperate this could also implies they don’t have reproductive organs. Even if you aren’t, the whole reincarnation thing means there is no need for reproductive organs and they should be canonically ace because there is no biological incentive for sex or organs. Why tf is there so much mpreg for the man who is physically unable to reproduce (more so than you average man). Also, man is basically a platapus, they are born out of eggs, why does he have babies that are not eggs in fanon?

Instead of canon diverging Dan Heng’s organs maybe we could instead have slay ace representation and take the opportunity to explore his relationship with other characters!

Bird Symbolism on the Xianzhou

This all started with a question I asked my friend: "Well, have you ever seen a bird on the Xianzhou?"

Birds have played a major role in my very autistic investigations of Xianzhou lore. My intuition just knew that they were important so I started cataloguing every instance of birds appearing on the Xianzhou. I'll start with the more common appearances and then delve into the more obscure ones.

I would also like to preface this by saying I am not a bird scientist nor am I particularly interested in birds outside of the context of HSR. I simply noticed there were some repeating patterns and really wanted to make note of them.

So here's all the times I've seen a bird on the Xianzhou.

The Boring Ones

Sky-faring Commission/Starskiff Bird Symbol

This bird shows up all over the Xianzhou on buildings and signage. It is used on the signs indicating starskiffs but honestly can show up anywhere. Large associations with the sky-faring commission. Highly likely it is inspired by the white bird later in the post.

Jing Yuan's Finches

Another really obvious one as most people are familiar with his finches. As far as I know, they only appear in relation to Jing Yuan and don't seem to have any meaning outside of sheer vibes.

Before Dawn Lightcone:

"Do not make this decision lightly, general... Think about how you will be remembered in history..." The general of the Cloud Knights listens to his subordinates' words with eyes half-closed. "History will make its own judgment, but I have no interest in my legacy." "If I succeed, history will state that I am currently supremely confident in my masterful strategy." "But if I fail, then history will state that I am currently neglecting my duties in wanton pleasure, preferring finches over my people." A finch jumps down from his shoulder, and he extends his hand to catch the small creature. "I have simply made my own decision."

Yukong's Kestral

Similar to the bird that appears on Yanqing, Yukong's Kestral is a symbol that is connected to her beloved Caiyi.

Past and Future Lightcone:

The wings of the paper kite in her hands were broken, brutally reminding her of her beloved's tragic passing. She kneeled next to the fire of war, eyes full of sorrow. "If you are the only one left to do this, then our sacrifice would..." Gunfire raged on, painting the sky red without dampening its majesty. She looked up at the sky, eyes full of fury.

Edit: Qingque and Phoenix

These aren't related to anything as far as I can tell but there is also this bird that appears on Qingque's outfit.

There's also a phoenix that shows up in the Palace of Astrum and again in the Seven Arbiter Generals myriad. It may be something related to the history of the Xianzhou (the planet they came from in particular) because it appears on each of those panels outlining the backstory.

The Fun Ones

Yanqing's Swallow

Now starting to get into the territory of birds that are actually pretty interesting to the lore. The swallow is a bird that is literally everywhere on Yanqing. The painting is found near the Petrichor Inn. - this is significant because the Petrichor Inn has strong associations with the Vidyadhara. The also appear on the handle of his sword and in his splashart.

River Flows in Spring Lightcone:

The young boy took a short break from his sword practice. The sunlight was baking his already heated neck. He slowly got into the water, whose coldness touched his bare feet. When the bell chimes and birds tweet, even the people far away would know that springtime had arrived.

The Water Birds

Repeated appearance of birds made of water both in relation to Yanqing and found in cages in the Vidyadhara section of the Xianzhou. I believe these are some kind of spirit birds similar to the water creatures that swim through the Scalegorge Waterscape and Dan Heng's own azure dragon. These are probably similar to the Oceanids of Genshin Impact where they actually contain souls that take whatever shape they want in the water - probably the souls of dead Vidyadhara if I had to guess. Why are they being caged and sold around the Xianzhou in Vidyadhara areas? I have literally no idea at this point.

Yanqing has these ice swallows appear during his attacks. There's a recurring theme of swords containing souls in Xianxia stories which is also loosely connected to the concept of Blade's sword graveyard in the Hellscape. I think Yanqing's ice birds are somehow souls similar to the water birds caged around the Xianzhou.

The uber weird part about all of this is how at the end of Yanqing's ultimate you see this image. In the background of the image are the mountains associated strongly with the Vidyadhara and Dan Heng in particular.

I don't know what this means for Yanqing right now but he is an expy of a pre-existing character from Honkai Impact 3rd: Ma Yanqing. They probably have some plan for him that isn't immediately apparent right now but I would like to point out that his grandmaster, Jingliu, is also heavily associated with the mountain moon realm and can also summon a sword made of water/ice. This does not appear to be a technique known by anyone else and Jingliu herself needed to defeat the abomination in order to acquire her singular ice sword.

The Crane

Appearing initially only on Dan Feng's clothing, the crane has made a comeback in the new Cloud Knights Martial Doctrine, On Swords myriad trailer. They are significant because the also appear among the mountain realm and the moon. Notice the association Jingliu, Yanqing, and Dan Heng in particular.

The Black Bird

So not all the birds in this picture are distinctly black but their colour is ambiguous and they are similarly shaped so I'm lumping them together. They all appear in association with the mountain area - Blade's sword graveyard is also in the mountain area. The top right picture is from Dan Heng's first fansong.

The White Bird

Not sure what species of bird this is supposed to be but there's a white bird that appears repeatedly in association with the mountain realm. More specifically, it appears among the clouds and may freely travel from the Scalegorge to the Mountains through the hole in the clouds. Bottom left is from Blade's fansong. I think these birds may represent souls and the dead in the same way that Blade's spiderlilies and swords do.

There's also this bird above the realm-keeping commission that I'm unsure how to categorize because of it's unique shape but it's also among the mountains and moon.

Edit: Dan Shu's Bird

This one is actually important for the spirit bird concept. In the Longevous Disciple relic set she tells us of a story that inspires her:

According to the legend, a certain delvemaster saved her partner by placing their soul into a bird, granting them immortality. However, she eventually could not resist the call of the avian and also transformed into a bird, flying alongside them. Over time, the delvemaster became confused and lost her true form, becoming a half-feathered, half-human monster. When her subjects stormed the palace and pierced her with blazing spears and arrows, the two birds sang a final mournful song and turned to ashes together. She loved this story so much that she took the essence and marrow of birds and transformed them in the alchemical furnace, then had someone weave these materials into a luxurious feather coat. She could not see just how beautiful the coat was, but nonetheless enjoyed walking around the house while wearing it — it was meant to be seen by a person who no longer existed. As the garb fluttered, she always felt that a bird-like soul was flying and passing through her hands and shoulders, ever-present.

It's not clear how much of the legend is actually true but it could be inspired by the spirit birds.

I think I've said just about everything that I wanted to say. I'm curious if anyone else has any thoughts on the birds. I've listed most of them but there are one or two paintings I left out from fear of repetition.

I have a lot of additional Thoughts about the birds but I'll leave that for another post.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------https://archiveofourown.org/works/50945278/chapters/129674725

Extra: Old Man Welt & Daddy Dan Heng

“Anyways….I think you are going to have to be the dad or the baby might die in their caring hands.” Commented Himeko.

What about welt ,didn’t he have a Kid? Dan Heng said decisively with derision.

“Ow..my old Back” ; o ; Welt cries cracking said back gets up with aid form his cane staff clearly not for decoration.

“Ah yes…Key word ‘had’ he’s currently stuck in death hole of what might wrong with the kid at this moment to care for her.” Matter of factly Himeko stated as she prepared tea and coffee to calm everyone nerves ignoring her own shaking hands hyped up from bit too much cafe she had drunk.

Drabble: Naming Dusk the baby Dragon What should we name her?

“Well considering we got her at dusk? Dusk?” Considered Welt

“That’s lazy” complained March

“Dan Heng, what would you name her” Himeko asked as he was sorta the dad.

“Errr Red eyes?” Dan Heng said saying the first chilling characteristic coming to mind as the baby stared her blood red eyes back at him.

“Mara “ March added on for more detail as she studied the blue red and gold ambrosial arbor markings on the baby’s arms.

“Dawn?” Himeko considered the opposite option of dusk.

“Oh like Little Dan Feng? But more fun so Dan Fun!” Contemplated March thinking the new name was clever

“Pet” put in Stelle saying as she saw it.

“…Let’s stick with Dusk. “ agreed Himeko with Welt as the rest nodded their head in agreement at their sucky naming skills. —————————————————————————————

What Do Baby Dragons Eat?

Surreptiusly Stelle starts sneaking the baby dragon food from her special trash stash.

“Seriously who roots through garbage, she better not feed that to the baby….STELLE NO.” Welt grabbed stelle arm to stop her from spooning some trash fried rice into the baby dragons open maw.

“She’s hungry” protested Stelle trying to tug the spoon full of trash fried rice toward the baby dragon who mewed for food.

“That will hurt her!” protested Welt pulling away Stelle spoon held hand much to baby dragon’s dismay.

“But she’ll be stronger for it like my stomach!” puffed up in pride and Stelle said with a manic twinkle in her eye as she strained against Welt’s arm to feed the baby birdlike dragon baby.

“More likely the kid will die of food poisoning before that” muttered Dan Heng who picked up the bowl of trash fried rice and threw it out. He still was not at terms with reality but had enough common sense enough to protect the kid from an early grave.

“It’s so she can get stronger” refuted Stelle defending her point and pot of garbage fried rice. She pouted at the waste of food.

“She won’t be fighting anything at this age. It is more important she remains healthy” Himeko explained as she hid the trash fried rice from sight form the sda baby dragon eyes.

“I don’t think they can even chew rice at this age” reasoned Welt recovering himself from his tug of war session with Stelle the feral raccoon lady. Having finally relieved her of the spoon now empty as she opted to eat the spoonful of trash fried rice herself that give it up.

“How old is she anyways? Bailu was 100 but she looked like 8” March brought up.

“Just hatched recently I’d guess” Dan Heng, the reliable residential Vidhydra expert informed them as he eyed the chibi for of Dusk.

“Are you sure, because she does have some sharp fangs…” Himeko said as she peered at the baby dragons open mouth. Open and closing like a baby bird as the baby began to whine for food.

“What do baby Vidahydra even eat?” Welt mused as everyone turned to Dan Heng who shrugged “Liquids I guess.”

“Maybe she can suck blood?” Himeko wondered out loud.

“Since Dan Heng, is closely related, I think it should be you she feeds from you, since you must have the same type blood type” said March offering him up as sacrifice

“Those are milk teeth, she can’t suck blood, she is not a vampire, march” Dan Heng explained.

“Do you suck blood? because I swear you have fangs in your dragon form” Stelle Skeptically eye Dan Heng .

“I could but why would I do you want me to right now?” asked Dan Heng hotly as he caged her off on the couch. So Stelle wouldn’t do something stupid like feed baby dragon more trash from her pockets.

Nah that dirty, I’d catch some weird diesae probably” Stelle brushed him off and uncaged herself easily to stare some more at baby dragon with everyone watching her warily.

“ Hmmm Milk teeth, Do they bretasfeed? but if the parent were boys…then….” March murmured deep in thought and confusion deciding for once to use her brains.

“For the last time I’m not her dad” irritated Dan Heng said instead.

“Mom then? Your imbibiter lunae form looks pretty girl-ish” March said side eyeing Dan Heng leaning over the couch remembering window boobs, long hair and open front and back panels from a long tunic top almost like a dress. It would explain so much as she doubted blade was the woman in relationship.

“Please don’t go where I think you’re going” cut off Dan Heng his hand blocking the wandering eyes of March as she started sizing him up.

“Did you lay the egg?” Hazarded March risking her life with the question

“NO” said Dan Heng stopping further thoughts with a glare

Stelle in effort to stop the fighting, offered another solution from the trash can. She pulled from her pocket a lizard and let it hang from the tips of her finger between the three.

“……maybe this lizard, I picked up from a Belabog trash can be her dad. It’s a reptile-like dragon so related right?” Blank-faced Stelle happily offered the trash treasure from her coat pocket honesty thinking this would help.

“NO! why would you think that?!” Exclaimed Welt, March, Himeko and Dan Heng with more common sense than Stelle. (Which wasn’t saying much seeing as she had been born from stelleron for less than a year.)

“Who else will teach her to climb walls and catch flies ?” Put in a proud Stelle. Proud to have remembered a rigorous study session on species she had taken from Dan Heng.

Ones she had learned differ types species and how different world’s ecosystems worked after having been awakened from the space station.

Usually by hand on exploration of different worlds. Via hanging out in rainforest trees, swimming in deserts, and sinking into mud pits to hide and collect secret souvenir. Usually when March and Dan Heng weren’t looking aka babysitting her trash collecting hobbies.

“…what the hell how did you even sneak this on board? “ questioned Welt as all present wondered the same exact thing.

“It was cold in belabog and it wanted warmth. I wanted a pet and since Pom Pom said I couldn’t keep a raccoon because they shed. I put this lizard in my pocket and forgot about it until now” Stelle as she swung said reptile by it’s tail for emphasis.

Seeking it’s survival the lizard sacrificed it’s tail to Stelle’s hands. The lizard dropped to the ground and made a mad dash for freedom and for the nearest sign of furry warmth aka Pom Pom. Hypnotized but he swinging lizard Baby dragons dusk eyes remind striae don’t he lizard in fascination.

In shock Stelle dropped the lizards lone tail that twisted ominously on the ground beside the scurrying lizard. “WHoops maybe not?”

“Eeekk! “ Squealed March as it headed straight for Pom Pom who eeped cowered forgetting he was larger than lizard and could probably stomp said lizard too death.

Baby dragon pounced on the lizard her protective instinct triggered having sensed the family in danger. Red eyes flashing the dragon baby opened her fanged mouth over the lizard NOM GULP

“Did she just eat the lizard?” Himeko asked hand over her mouth her lips resolving to forget the incident.

“I think she swallowed it whole like sake.” Dan Heng explained. His keen eyes having unfortunately noticed the bump it made going down.

“Is that cannibalism?” whispered March in shock eyes wide after what she witnessed

“At least we know what she eats?” Weakly put in Welt

“Aww I never even named him…I was thinking Sampo 2.0 cuz of his shitty luck. Hey Dan Heng do you eat them too?” Said Stelle who had recovered way too fast her eye slide to Dan Heng . Everyone present stared boring holes at Dan Heng

“ I swear I never ate that as a kid in any of my rebirths” Dan Heng said crossing his heart and arms in decisive no stance.

After much trial and hardly any error they found that the baby dragon would eat almost anything.

Imagine Jing Yuan using it as justification to free his old friends reincarnation from prison and give Bailu more freedom. All in the name of the Luofus well being, or so he says anyway.

And if he suddenly has two more small children running around his house, no one says anything. The skies are much clearer after that.
