CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

366 Back to City

BaiYing gave him the pure divine energy which make him turn back to its original form, on the condition that XiaoWu would continue his duty as the protector of the forest, just like ErWang, the creature would not be able to leave this forest no matter what, or else BaiYing would come back here and take all of the creature’s divine energy, even in a distance the boy able to withdraw his energy and makes XiaoWu lost all of his divine energy.

XiaoWu fell grateful because BaiYing didn’t kill him, he regrets all of his actions will never forget how lucky he’s now, as a pet being of the Goddess, he made a huge mistake for falling into the mortal’s lust, and his desire to repent made a bond of an oath that would destroy his body if he steps out of the XiaoWu’s forest.

The sun shone brightly again in the calm XiaoWu forest, very calm, a few little hares were seen jumping from behind the rocks out of their resting place, it was time to work to spread the fertility around the XiaoWu forest back with their food and dung.

........

CuiAn City cheered as the Crown Prince and ChenMing’s entourage passed through the city.

LuoXiang sat on his big black horse walking slowly through the main street of the city, hugging BaiYing in front of him.

While ChenMing rode his horse behind the Crown Prince side by side with BeiYau.

“Heh, we the ones who tried so hard but that rotten person who got the trophy” ChenMing grumbled.

BeiYau smiled. He couldn’t take his eyes off ChenMing, whom he had missed for too long, he approached the Prince’s horse and pulled the reins.

.....

“Your Majesty, let me lead him.” The young guard grabbed ChenMing’s horse’s reins and pulled it following him.

While SuLang very proudly sat on his horse, his long spear hanging across his back, he couldn’t stop smiling seeing all the CuiAn citizens cheering those who came out of the XiaoWu forest in triumph. The feeling of pride that he couldn’t express with anything, the great feeling of having succeeded in being part of the groups of people who solved the problems concerning the safety and security of everyone, it felt really great.

Seen among the people who saw, there were several people he knew, faces he was quite familiar with, young master ShiShen and the two young masters who had bullied him and BaiYing the other day.

SuLang waved his hand at ShiShen, who could hardly believe what he saw with his own eyes.

“That impudent SuLang, he stole the opportunity for himself, how can he join Prince ChenMing’s entourage?” ShiShen grumbled. His two friends heated him up.

“Young master Shi, this obviously cannot be tolerated, that SuLang has already taken your place”

“Yeah that’s right, it should be Young Master Shi who is in the fight”

“That’s right Young Master Shi, I heard that XiaoWu is very powerful and his strength is limitless, can become a part that crippled him with His Highness Prince Chen must be extraordinary.”

Hearing the words of the two friends ShiShen swallowed hard, he lowered his arms which had been crossed in front of his chest with great pride, his eyes widened, is it true that XiaoWu is so powerful? Then, how did the SuLang manage to return safely? Was it just a bluff? The group might only fight a group of ferocious tigers, that’s very easy.

“Come on, let’s follow them, find out where the group is staying, we’ll teach that SuLang a lesson”

The two colleagues listened to ShiShen who quickly followed him away.

“Come on young master Shi”

“This must be very interesting”

It is true that no one knows exactly what happened in the XiaoWu forest, but the few soldiers who came out safely told what they had experienced in the forest, and the giant XiaoWu, obviously there’s some residents really believe it, while others think it’s just an ordinary ferocious creature, which ruffles the forest when landslides and earthquakes occur, where are giants or mystical creatures?

....

“Does this still hurt?” the group returned to SuChou to the Su’s family mansion.

Crown Prince massaged BaiYing’s ankles who were still sitting limply on the bed.

“It’s not that hurt, Your Majesty.”

The young man pulled his leg, grabbed the Crown Prince’s two large palms, held the big hand for a long time, placing it on his cheek.

“Your Majesty, this, wasn’t a dream right? This is really Your Majesty, right?”

LuoXiang smiled, after two days of falling asleep from exhaustion, the young man finally woke up and didn’t let go of his grip since earlier, still hardly believing he wasn’t dreaming right now.

Luo Xiang smiled. He grasps BaiYing’s two small hands, gently squeezing them.

“Then, is this touch is still not really enough either? Stupid boy, what are you thinking? If this great Crown Prince could just die like that so easily at that creature’s hand? Even when I arrive at the gates of hell, I will fight back my way to my YingYing, who’s been waiting for me.”

Crown Prince smiled and pulled BaiYing into his arms as tears rolled down the young man’s smooth cheeks again.

“This brat, forgive me to have made you worried”

BaiYing wrapped his arms around the Crown Prince’s waist, hug him tight.

“Then why did Your Majesty take so long? And, why do you have to go through CuiAn city? Doesn’t His Majesty already know that this area is indeed prone to disasters? Does Your Majesty deliberately want to defy death?”

LuoXiang stroked BaiYing’s hair which was hugging his chest.

“Heh, the story is very complicated, there is no plan to pass through CuiAn though, but, the initial palace group reportedly disappeared after passing through the XiaoWu forest, according to local residents in the forest there was a very severe landslide, according to rumours circulating, there is indeed a mystical creature that inhabits the forest awakened from its slumber, and, due to the reviving of the lost city of PaiHua, any area through a moving fault fracture under ground will be affected.”

BaiYing let go of his embrace, looking at the Crown Prince with his big round eyes, frowning.

“What does Your Majesty mean by, moving fault’s fracture?” he asked innocently.

LuoXiang stroked BaiYing’s front hair and tucked it behind his ear, hair that was so fine it was too fine to even be touched by his rough palm.

“It’s a very long story, I don’t really understand what the whole story was, I think there is someone who is more familiar about this matter.”

BaiYing looked at the Crown Prince for a moment, the young man stroked his hair gently and kissed his palms.

“Chup, heh, never let go of my hand again Ying, never, even just for a moment, I, can’t endure that suffering anymore, being away from my YingYing, I rather die”

BaiYing caressed the Crown Prince’s cheek.

“Your Majesty, Ying also felt it, Your Majesty is right, if someone, maybe could die from missing someone too much, and Ying almost died of misery, don’t feel like to eating nor sleeping, even everything seemed unreal”

Crown Prince smiled, he pulled BaiYing’s little body came back and hugged him so tight.

“Heh, what did I say, is it true that longing can kill, that’s why don’t ever think about go and disappeared again, no matter what I will not let this very sweet YingYing to slipped from my hand again, not once, we will be together, forever”

Crown Prince so excitedly hugged BaiYing very tightly, squeezing the small body who lost in his big body.

“Emm”

“Your Majesty, I can’t move here”

“Yes indeed, my Ying can’t go anywhere”

“Your Majesty”

...

That afternoon in the living room of the Su family’s mansion.

Everyone was already seated in the living room, including ChenMing and BeiYau.

SuPing and SuLang, GeLu and LiuHai knelt before the Crown Prince who was sitting on the chair with BaiYing beside him.

“May His Majesty the Crown Prince and King always be blessed, long life!” everyone exclaimed.

LuoXiang waved his hand.

“Raise up everyone”

“Thank you, Your Majesty”

Soon after.

SuPing was already sitting across from the Crown Prince’s seat and BaiYing to tell the story about WahYe, the Su family hereditary been a WahYe state official, his grandfather used to be a history registrar, his uncle’s grandfather was a member of the national defence unit, his grandmother used to be in logistics, so since he was small he grew up by reading all the history books about WahYe as if it was a compulsory lesson that he had to memorize.

“In the past, I’ve read about the folklore of the Great WahYe, the fracture of the PaiHua fault, if I’m not mistaken it’s a fault in the ground caused by the awakening of PaiHua city. From time immemorial Wahye had four protective eyes in every corner of the territory, and as long as PaiHua city disappeared the four corners were indirectly affected and fell asleep as well. But ever since the city of PaiHua rose, the four sides of the territory have been turbulent due to the tremors, CuiAn is to the north, and three more cities are to the west, south and east, according to a legend, there are four mystical beings that live in every part of the city, the powerful dragon ErWang in the east, including one of them.”
