The Ger's Contract Marriage [BL]

The animals in the mountains began to stir, some getting ready for slumber, as others began to awaken to begin their day. The animals in this world enthralled Xu Feng, there were animals like chickens, cows, and even horses, but there were also new species he had never heard of in Dongmen.

Some of these animals the previous owner knew, but Xu Feng was aware that his scope of knowledge was small. It would be another kind of adventure to learn what new species he could find in the mountains. Not just animals, even the plants here were unique and worth exploring.

The dimming light and the movement of birds alerted Xu Feng it was time for supper. It was hard to stop his mind from wandering, but the growls from his stomach were too loud to ignore.

By the time dinner was ready and served, Xu Feng found his way to the dining room in the main courtyard, where he and the two men from the main house were settled.

The dining room was lit by a combination of candles and lanterns. The lightning brought a dreamy touch to the room that made Xu Feng a bit giddy. He was about to have a "candle-lit dinner."

Ignoring the fact he would be having dinner with a rich young master, and his servant, Xu Feng took in the extra effort the estate servants used when preparing dinner. The table was laid out with simple and mouthwatering delicacies.

"Hmm," Xuan Yang acknowledged the ger as he seated himself across from the two men.

Xuan Jian also nodded his head at the ger.

Xu Feng remembered to acknowledge the two men politely before his eyes were quickly drawn back to the decadent table. Yes, he was a glutton.

The meal was silent, with Xu Feng savoring the simple yet rich taste of the food. The techniques used to make the meal weren't the best he had ever seen, but the ingredients made up for it.

It had only been a day since he stopped only drinking broth and vegetables. The addition of the fragrant white rice and three meat dishes made Xu Feng hum as he nibbled a bit of each dish.

There were also a few different fermented dishes to choose from. Since Nanshan Village was a northern village near the central region, the inhabitants would make many types of kimchee to last them in the winter months.

'This could be a business venture,' Xu Feng thought as he shoveled food into his mouth.

He had made kimchee with his grandmother and the other women in his family when he was younger. He wasn't a chef, but he could make a few different types of kimchee and dishes made from fermented foods! Both would be unique in Donghua.

Xu Feng was clearly more interested in his meal and daydreams than the men across from him. Which of course perplexed the two men.

'Was this ger starved before? Was that why he was so thin? Or did he just enjoy eating?'

It was only after dinner and an after-dinner walk, that Xu Feng was woken from his food daydreams.

The servant boy who helped in the kitchen had filled the large bathing bucket in Xu Feng's room when San and Si were chased back to Xu Feng's room.

After thanking the servant boy, Erlang, for his service, the girls remembered their duty.

"Master Xu, do you need help bathing?" Si asked, still star-struck from her day with Young Master Yang and Brother Jian.

"I can manage a bath on my own," Xu Feng grinned at the two girls before shooing them from the inner room so he could bathe in peace.

The hot bath in his room was soothing. While the barrel was big enough for him to soak, it would be more comfortable with a bigger barrel. Even an in ground bath house would be a great addition.

As Xu Feng soaked, his mind began to wander.

'How did the ancients bathe? Did they all use bathing barrels or a simple bucket? How did the Young Master Yang bathe? He was even taller than the iceberg, Xuan Jian, a bathing barrel would be too small for either of them.'

Xu Feng's face began to heat up as he thought of the two men struggling to crouch in a bathing barrel.

He absolutely was thinking about their well-being and hygiene, not their naked bodies and the size of their 'little men.'

For some reason, since Xu Feng stopped drifting in and out of consciousness, his sex drive had risen with his health. As far as he knew, gers didn't have excessive sex drives. But even if they did, would it be common knowledge?

Gers were more often treated like women than men, and in ancient times, women were expected to be pure little flowers even after marriage. If this world was similar to an ABO world with gers going into heat, he would have no forewarning.

Xu Feng's face reddened even more as he tried to excuse his heightened libido.

"I haven't gotten a good idea of what to expect in our contract tomorrow. I made some demands, but Xuan Yang hasn't stated if and how he would meet those demands…" Xu Feng began to create excuses to visit the two men and relieve his greed.

Before the madam came the next day, it would be best for them to get their story straight. It didn't take much haggling with Si, who was stationed outside his room for the night, to get the girl to let him go by himself. The little girl was already half asleep and didn't want to move at all.

As Xu Feng got closer to the room reserved for the young master, he realized how crazy his actions were.

'What if the young master was asleep? Don't young masters from prominent families wake up early to study or hunt or something?'

While the area around the room was empty, there was candlelight in the distance that encouraged Xu Feng to enter the other building.

*Ugh*

A moan drifted to Xu Feng's ears as he entered the outer room. First, he paused, before curiosity got to him when more noises drifted into his ears.

*Splash, splash, splash*

The unmistakable sounds of two bodies connecting and the movement of water could be heard. In a trance, Xu Feng continued moving forward, taking in the sticky sounds of lovemaking and the low moans.

'Who was the young master fucking? Had he ordered a prostitute for the nearest town, or was he venting with one of the servants or maybe even a villager from the bottom of the mountain?'

As Xu Feng reached the inner room, his eyes widened, as he knew both parties dancing in the bathing barrel!
