CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

360 From The Ground

“Brother, disperse your protective spheres.”

BaiYing didn’t budge.

“What do you mean brother? Ying can drive them away, they will soon leave us.”

ChenMing held BaiYing’s hand but he pulled it back quickly because BaiYing’s hands and body were very hot at that time.

“Brother don’t be stubborn, just save your energy!”

BaiYing didn’t care, he didn’t even look at the anxious ChenMing.

“This kid!”

ChenMing tried to break through the circle that actually made him push hard into his original position, he looked at his little brother sharply.

“Open it or Big Brother will lunge at it”

.....

With ChenMing’s threat, BaiYing had no choice but to close his palms to disperse the protective spheres, instantly the creatures lunged to attack.

“Arrgghhhh!”

ChenMing slashed his sword at the ugly creatures with big mouths and sharp teeth, they were just stinky ugly frogs, he leapt up and down very nimbly, not letting a single thing escape his sword which was covered in the black blood of the ugly creature.

“Why they are so ugly”

SuLang didn’t want to be left behind, his beautiful spear dance helped his body seem to fly quite lightly past several frogs that lunged at him and pierced the midsection of the creature the size of an adult goat. And their numbers don’t seem to be decreasing.

BaiYing was still throwing his flames, looking around to see if there were soldiers who needed his help, the white flames hit several creatures down at once while groaning, it was clear that these creatures were not his opponent, then, what could make his chest tremble? Is, that’s right XiaoWu?

As he watched his older brother move further and further away from his position, the ground on his feet shook, shaking violently as if something was approaching him.

“Brother! Older brother!” cried Bai Ying.

BaiYing’s screams made ChenMing aware that he was so far away from his brother, without thinking too long ChenMing stomped his foot towards BaiYing.

“Brother!

Just as something appeared from under BaiYing’s feet, the ground split open which instantly swallowed the young man into it, he didn’t even have time to dodge.

“Older brother!” The enormous energy pulled him in, BaiYing’s hand was still outstretched but ChenMing was too late.

“Younger brother!”

The split ground closed again, swallowing his little brother inside.

“Xiao Ying! No!”

...

So quiet. There was only the sound of water droplets dripping onto another surface of the water. And it’s so cold. Slowly, BaiYing opened his eyes, what just happened? Did he just fall unconscious? He pulled his legs, supporting his body with both hands trying to sit up, wherever he is now, which is clearly not like in the forest as he was, more like a very large cave, and he, he is in a cage?

BaiYing pulled himself up to sit alertly when he heard the sound of something approaching him, a very heavy step on the ground which makes the cave shake, he was hanging in a small room resembling a box-sized cage with a barrier of small logs tied at random, it was not difficult to burn a tree trunk that looked quite solid, he had to run away before whatever that comes near him.

He opened his palms, release the white flames and burn the logs that instantly turned into firewood, it was very easy for him. However, BaiYing’s eyes widened when that thing eventually appeared in front of him, something that made the cave floor tremble.

“Hehehehehe finally, I can invite the Great Lord of Nature to visit my ugly shed, what a great fortune” its voice loudly echoed.

BaiYing swallowed his saliva round, A creature with a very large shape, sharp canine teeth and a pair of big red round eyes, resembling rabbit eyes stared at BaiYing fiercely, it was XiaoWu, a demigod who was now more like a demon with a dark aura shrouding his body. He didn’t speak human language, but BaiYing could understand what he was saying, as the folk’s tales, it XiaoWu himself.

“X-XiaoWu”

The big creature approached, looking at BaiYing very closely after the fire managed to burn one part of the cage to make a very large hole.

“Heh, what a pity, I’m having a hard time building this cage.”

BaiYing was wary, the look in XiaoWu’s eyes at that moment, he feels goosebumps by only looking at it red eyes with dark smokes flying around him, the mystical being possessed as a demon now.

“What would you do? Why did you bring me here? And all those creatures and animals, did you kill them?”

XiaoWu pulled his head back, he laughed.

“Hahahaha XiaoWu slept so long, ouch, in a flash it’s been five hundred years, and it feels like I can’t help but want to get out of this, but they disturbed my sleep, absorbed in the essence of XiaoWu’s valleys and turned themselves into great beings, thinking they could become the next God, ridiculous”

BaiYing thought, XiaoWu really isn’t an ordinary creature, he has great thought, just like ErWang, and the creatures they fought were indeed the original inhabitants of the XiaoWu forest who mutated after long so long live at this forest and absorbing the essence of XiaoWu’s spiritual energy while it meditated and sleeping, they could turn into that ferocious thing, it was extremely terrifying.

BaiYing backed away as XiaoWu approached him again, his very big eyes widening as he stare at the boy so close.

“This young man, turned out that the King of Nature is just such a cute sweet little kid, hahaha, ErWang must be joking, how could he submit for such a cute kid? He must just fall because of your cute face, isn’t it? But, hey, as soon as I get all your energy, turning my beast physical into a cute kid like this it’s no longer a problem, hem, I really adore such a face like this, we look alike, aren’t we? We have the same eye colour”

“What do you mean to get all my energy, do you think? You can do that easily old man? Didn’t ErWang tell you how his energy was actually reversed back in me? You want to try it?” BaiYing’s eyes flashed red, clenching his fists gets ready to attack.

Hearing that, the giant creature as tall as the big cave laughed loudly.

“Hahahaha oh yeah? How could that stupid ErWang be on par with XiaoWu, who was already five hundred years old and meditating in this mineral-filled soil, that stupid dragon, was nothing compared to XiaoWu. Hemm, this look in your eyes, very interesting, I like the arrogant little creature called human, the other day, there was someone who resembled you, oh well, wait.”

BaiYing was ready to attack when XiaoWu moved, but the creature came back towards him quickly, throwing something in front of his feet.

“Prang!” something creaked loudly as it touched the floor of the cage made of the thin stone slab. BaiYing’s eyes went wide, the red flames blazing in his eyes disappeared as he picked up a small object that was none other than a hairpin, a jade hairpin that looks exactly like his own.

“Th-this, where did you get this?” it’s the Crown Prince’s hairpin.

XiaoWu approached BaiYing seeing it from a very close distance, at that time BaiYing could have attacked him, but, what is this, his chest pounds very strongly, holding the jade with trembling hands.

“Hehehe I know you must know him huh? A handsome young man, with beautiful clothes and a bright forehead, his aura so strong showed him as he is a Heavenly King, but, too bad, he and his indomitable friend had to die by my hands, his blood tasted so sweet, unfortunately, I can’t eat human flesh, otherwise, maybe I wouldn’t have let his body just fall into the eternal abyss.”

BaiYing’s eyes widened.

“No, it can’t be, His Highness the Crown Prince is so great and powerful, he wouldn’t easily fall into the abyss because of you” BaiYing’s voice trembled, he lowered his body that couldn’t stand up after thinking what was the worst, the Crown Prince’s jade, which was covered in blood, this, the blood of the Crown Prince.

“No, this is impossible, Your Majesty.”

The Crown Prince’s sweet face and a smile flashed in his head.

“My YingYing”

“Y-Your Highness”

BaiYing’s eyes looked at XiaoWu sharply.

“What have you done? Why did you do it?”

Xiao Wu laughed.

“Hehehehe those arrogant humans came and thought they were going to kick XiaoWu out of XiaoWu’s house, how could he be so impudent? What, you want to catch up with him, my King of Realm? Well, that’s easy, I can grant your wish, look at the spiritual energy in your tiny body, with that energy all the creatures in this XiaoWu’s forest can become gods in an instant, you don’t know how a little being like you becomes so precious.”

BaiYing clenched his fists, sad and angry, he opened his palms, however, the white flames didn’t burn as big as usual, the pain in his chest made him unable to control his inner strength.

“I’ll make you pay for it!”

XiaoWu laughed again, but BaiYing didn’t stay still, the young man stomped his foot against XiaoWu with his fire.
