Chapter 62 - The Three Princes

Wu Xie was so busy observing the changing expressions on Miss Jiang's face that he was slightly taken aback when she suddenly turned her attention at the entrance. Her eyes suddenly looked sharp as her aura darkened. She no longer looked anything like the stupid and timid girl with whom he was chatting just a moment ago.

"What is it?" He asked while still keeping his eyes focused on her.

"Someone's here." She whispered in a hushed tone before she dragged him to hide behind a huge rock standing right next to the entrance of the gave.

Only after hearing her words did Wu Xie realized the disturbance in the area around them.. She was right. There were indeed some people heading towards the cave. 

A smile appeared on his lips when he recognized those uninvited guests, except for one. He was about to let the girl know that they were safe but at the last moment, he changed his mind and just stood there in silence.

On the other hand, Jiang Ying Yue was trying to decide in which direction she should run. So far, speed was one of the vampire abilities that she could control almost perfectly. If she couldn't save herself by fighting against the enemy, she sure would be able to escape by running away.

Of course, there were chances of her failing badly even in running away. One such example was the incident that happened previously between her and the Third Prince.

Her attention was pulled towards the three men who appeared in front of the entrance and she found her body relaxing as she recognized all three of them.

"Right! This is the place. Even I can feel her presence now." She heard Qing Shan speaking as he looked at the cave.

Without wasting another second, she emerged out of her hiding place and ran towards her men. Even before she knew it, she was wrapped in strong arms that pulled her against a firm chest, making her relax immediately.

"You are alright. Can't you give me a break? It's not a good feeling to suddenly being unable to feel your presence or find you missing. It's really not." Silver whispered into her ear as one of his hands came to rest on her nape while the other tightened its hold around her waist.

Jiang Ying Yue rested her head against his chest, hearing the rapid beats of his heart while giving both of them the time that they needed to calm down.

"Can you two show some decency? There are other people here too." Wang Shu commented with a huff as he moved closer to them before grabbing Ying Yue's hand to pull her out of Silver's embrace.

"If you are having that much problem then why don't you look away?" Silver commented immediately as he stepped away from the Immortal with Jiang Ying Yue still safely secured in his arms.

"You..."

"Enough, you guys! Do you think that the fight back in the manor was not enough to calm you both down so you are now trying to start all over again?" Qing Shan decided to speak as he gave a hard glare to both his Second brother and Silver.

"What fight? Did you guys fought... You are hurt!" Jiang Ying Yue shouted in alarm as she noticed the blood on Silver's lip. There was even a huge bruise on his left cheek.

"What happened? Who hurt you?" She asked him as she cupped his face to observe his injuries. 

But before Silver could get the chance to answer any of her questions, Wang Shu hurriedly spoke up, and by the note of his tone, he seemed to be kind of unhappy.

"He's not the only one who got hurt. Brother Shan and I were also hurt because of him. He even destroyed the furniture in the manor. Why are you only worried about him?" The complaint was clearly audible in his tone.

"Am I the only one who caused the destruction of your beautiful manor? And as far as I can see, neither you nor your brother Shan seemed to be hurt." Silver quickly remarked while making a pitiful face as he looked into Jiang Ying Yue's eyes who was silently observing them.

She gave Silver a soft smile before she turned her attention towards the two Immortals. "He's right. While I can see his injuries clearly, you and your brother seemed to be as good and healthy as usual. If you have wanted to play the victim card, you should not have healed yourselves before showing me your injuries. Now, I'm giving the benefit of doubt to Silver." 

It was clear that neither Qing Shan nor Wang Shu was happy with her decision and the latter even made his unhappiness obvious as he gave a hard glare to Silver who finally let his powers heal him.

"You have such a despicable man living beside you. I would advise you to always be on alert." Qing Shan remarked as he got another glimpse of the powers that Silver had in store. The man was really powerful, way more than what they expected. He could easily take down ten or so Immortals of the God Realm all alone.

A small twitch appeared on Jiang Ying Yue's lips as she heard his words. "You don't have to worry about that. I know better than anyone else exactly what type of person he is." Her message was sound and clear in her words.

"What a lovely view this is. Are you guys going to keep ignoring my presence?" Wu Xie finally decided to speak and pull some attention towards himself. However, he found that his eyes were having a hard time looking away from the man who was holding Miss Jiang in his arms.

"You still have the cheek to speak. What do you think you were doing by pushing her down the cliff?" Qing Shan looked quite angry as he marched towards Wu Xie.

"I was just experimenting. Why are looking so angry?" The Third Prince answered but his voice came out a little low and apologetic.

"Experimenting? You sure are becoming bold day but day." Qing Shan seemed to only become angrier after listening to Third Prince's excuse of an explanation.

"How did you guys know that he pushed me down the cliff?" Jiang Ying Yue asked as she looked at the two Immortals with questioning eyes before turning her attention at Silver.

"Feng Wu told us." It was Wang Shu who answered her. Jiang Yung Yue recalled that Feng Wu was the young boy who followed the Third Prince.

"I'm serious. I didn't mean to harm her. You guys told me that she's not normal like before and after meeting her at the banquet, I did realize that she was unlike her previous self but was acting like a meek person to hide her identity. I just wanted her to reveal her true ability in order to protect herself. I did not know that she will get injured so heavily... but look, I've healed her." Wu Xie hurriedly tried to once again explain that he really didn't mean any harm.

"You guys know each other?" Jiang Ying Yue asked when she picked the meaning behind the first few sentences that the Third Prince just uttered in his defense.

"You are probably the luckiest person in the entire Hyuang Empire at the moment..." 

Jiang Ying Yue raised her eyebrows in question as she heard the ironic words spoken by the Third Prince. He sure knew how to joke. If she was the luckiest person then she really wanted to meet the one with the worst luck.

"... Not only you got to meet me, the Third Prince of this Empire, more than once and that too privately, you also got the luck of meeting the First Prince and the Second Prince." The Third Prince finished as he came to stand next to his two brothers.

"First and Second Prince? You two are..." Jiang Ying Yue felt like someone had just slapped her and it was probably her good luck. The three men whom she wanted to avoid the most in this new life of hers, in the end, she still ended up getting entangled with all three of them.

And if that was not enough, two out of those three men were now her soul mates, the destined ones who were fated to earn her trust and love. 

Suddenly, her heart stopped for a beat as a thought or more like a realization dawned on her. She found her gaze landing on the Third Prince at the same moment when her heartbeats picked up their speed. 

She felt Silver's hands tightening around her arm as if he too had come to the same conclusion as her. 

She was destined to have three fated soulmates. Out of the three Princes, two were already bound to her with the sacred bond. What were the chances that her third and final soulmate was none other than the Third Prince?
