Chapter 124

124 The Warm Air

The young dragon ErWang’s words made LuoXiang couldn’t stop thinking about it, the dragon said something full of mystery and didn’t explain it in detail.

“Since you have helped me, you can ask anything from me, Heavenly King, whatever it is, I will grant it”

LuoXiang standing under the rain, which fell so hard that it entered his eyes which were now looking up at the young dragon ErWang, he shouted.

“I have one request! Give YingYing and I a happy life together, I don’t want anything, he is all I want in this world, he alone is enough for me!” LuoXiang exclaimed.

There was a chuckle from the young dragon ErWang.

“Hahahaha, young man, are you sure about what you are asking? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, why not ask for supreme power? The most powerful martial arts, the most treasures, to be the number one ruler in the world? I can give you all that easily.”

LuoXiang shook his head, his eyes even though they were sore from the rain but he stared intently.

“I don’t need all that, what is the meaning of all worldly greatness if there is no YingYing in my world, I just want him, well, you can grant it?”

Loud laughter resounded from the young dragon.

.....

He picked at his chest releasing a young scale from his body, passing it into LuoXiang’s hand.

“Right now, I can’t grant it, but someday, when you really need it, just hold this scale and call my name loudly, I will come to see you wherever you are to fulfill your wish, this is my promise to you, young Heavenly King”

LuoXiang just stared a gleam of white scales in his hand, furrowing his brow at the young dragon’s answer.

“Wh-what do you mean you can’t, you said I can ask for anything?”

The young dragon rolled up its long body, preparing to dash away.

“I can’t promise a lasting relationship, because it’s not my part, but I can promise you will always be with him, whether it’s for eternal life, or after, that’s all I promise”

After saying that the young dragon sped away, leaving a loud roar, which shook the sky along with a thunderbolt that struck violently.

Duaarrr!! duaarr!!

LuoXiang is still standing where he is, what does it’s mean by relationship, together forever but can’t last forever? This is not what he wanted.

“ErWang! You promised to grant my wish, what does this mean? I don’t want anything else, I just ask for YingYing! ErWang!”

The sound of the Crown Prince’s screams was very loud, however not as loud as the sound of the rain continuing to pour down in the middle of the hills of the dark and cold Deep forest, which now only left LuoXiang who standing and dropping his knees on the ground which made all of his beautiful clothes mixed with mud.

The sound of footsteps slowly entered and slowly stopped behind the Crown Prince.

“Your Majesty, the dam is not finished yet but the water has filled the river, all the citizens have gathered at the edge of the artificial river” Reported BeiYau who lowered his body to kneel behind the Crown Prince.

LuoXiang turned his body, still holding in his hand a thin sheet of white sparkling scales belonging to ErWang, its size was no bigger than the length of his pinky.

“This is good news Bei, ever since ErWang occupied his position the city has back to normal”

BeiYau stood up and approached.

“Your Majesty, congratulations, this is a great blessing.”

LuoXiang nodded.

“That’s right, we are lucky that no one was injured in this incident, how about senior advisor YueWang? Did you see his whereabouts?”

BeiYau shook his head.

“No, Your Majesty, according to the guards at his temporary residence, the senior advisor has already returned to the capital due to his health condition, on the night that the ErWang’s attack occurred, he left an apologizing letter for not being able to continue his duties and must return as soon as possible”

LuoXiang pursed his lips.

“Ckk, that old man, who does he think he is? Leaving without permission, concubine Fu clearly saw his face on the night of the incident, I wonder how he could so blatantly deceive me? This old fox is unexpectedly really cunning, looks like we can’t underestimate him Bei”

“Your Majesty, Senior Advisor was probably the mastermind behind the Hua family massacre, his underlings who attacked that time had the same clothes and tattoos on their arms.”

LuoXiang nodded his head.

“I think so too Bei, but, we can’t accuse people based on mere assumptions, all need concrete evidence, and that old fox, until now still one of Father’s confidants, we must not be rash”

BeiYau lowered his head.

“I understand Your Majesty”

BeiYau raised his head and found the Crown Prince’s hand outstretched in front of him, handing him something.

“Y-Your Majesty, it’s..” LuoXiang held out a small shiny scale that looked very precious in front of him.

“Find the best jewelry worker in town, make this a pendant for a necklace, I want to gift it to YingYing, make it the prettiest one”

BeiYau nodded, he grabbed the scales that looked so beautiful.

“Yes, Your Majesty”

.....

A gentle gust of wind brushed the bottom of the dominant red dress with beads and embroidery lightly glistening, the very cool breeze and the calm atmosphere in the back garden of the mayor’s bungalow made BaiYing, who was tired after trying to fill his time by painting fast asleep on the bamboo cot, his maids could not bear to wake him up seeing the young man sleeping very soundly.

Someone walked in closer, AYa who slowly stopped and lowered her body in front of BaiYing, smiled seeing a little colorful paint stain on the nose, cheeks, and forehead of the sleeping youth, also how peaceful he looks right now. His sweet lips, wide eyelids, with long curly eyelashes that make him look even more beautiful, AYa squatting smiled at BaiYing’s adorable face as the young man lifted his thumb and unconsciously pressed it into his mouth.

“Ich this kid, so cute”

AYa who rarely smiled couldn’t help herself and couldn’t stop the smile that made her face look even cuter, she raised her hand to pull BaiYing’s hand so he wouldn’t keep putting it in his mouth

Yan and Bi who were standing by the entrance glanced at each other, seeing that this extremely arrogant princess hadn’t even been heard shouting lately, and now, seeing her lower her body and squat in front of BaiYing, which she’s so happy with and made her cheeks blush.

BaiYing’s sweet lips made aYa couldn’t stop staring at him, swallowed hard, and subconsciously drew closer, she had never seen a creature called such a sweet man before, all the men in Kili were famous for being big and tall, with rough and fierce jaws, even though their faces were handsome, but it didn’t interest her, seeing BaiYing’s sweet and fresh face, for the first time she felt a warm vibration in her chest, this may be, what her mother called as love, whether it’s true or not, but her heart changed since getting to know the young man, slowly, she became different aYa.

AYa touched the young man’s cheek and almost leaned her head forward to kiss the lips when a voice came from the entrance.

“Greetings Your Majesty”

BaiYing’s two maids greeted the Crown Prince who was already in front of them.

AYa straightened up, stood up quickly when she saw the Crown Prince approaching.

“Eh Your Majesty”

Best

LuoXiang frowned at what the princess was doing there, although he wasn’t weird anymore, but, never mind, he didn’t want to think about it too much. Without a second thought, LuoXiang approached BaiYing who was sleeping very soundly with the breeze caressing his hair.

LuoXiang smiled, sitting on the edge of the couch, crossing his legs elegantly, raising his hand to caress BaiYing’s cheek, brushing off the remaining paint on the young man’s face.

“This kid, why are you sleeping here?”

Slowly the young man opened his eyes, smiling at LuoXiang’s bright face behind the sunlight.

“Your Highness”

LuoXiang smiled.

“You look so tired. So bored and falling asleep here? Do you want to go to your room and have asleep?”

BaiYing pulled himself up, rubbing his eyes.

“Hoaa, yes, I’m so tired, bored, can, Ying’er, go out? How about a seedling house? Is it finished yet? Ying’er is eager to meet Pang’er and the others, they must be happy to see that the dam is finished and they can finally plant whatever they want.”

The Crown Prince couldn’t stop smiling,

“Hehe, a seedling house, the residents have started planting the seeds Bei’s men bought yesterday, however, we can’t wait for the seeds to sprout, tomorrow morning we will back to the Capital.”

BaiYing grabbed LuoXiang’s two hands, looking at him with big round eyes.

“Your Majesty, do, we have to return so fast? Now that LiuYang is getting better I think this will be a nice place, look at the air, it’s warmer than usual, I can’t help but feel sleepy because of the cold wind”

“Well, even so, we still have to return to the Capital, currently LiuYang is in right hand, mayor ZhangYo has done a great job, we can entrust the prosperity of this city in his hands, um, let’s go to the room, your body is getting warm”

BaiYing pursed his lips, he pulled the Crown Prince’s hand towards him.

“Umm, I’m so sleepy, don’t have the energy to walk.”

Hearing that, LuoXiang chuckled, pinched the young man nose exasperatedly.

“Ich kid, come on ride on my back.”

LuoXiang turned his back to BaiYing let the young man wrapped his arms around his neck, resting his chin on LuoXiang’s broad and firm shoulders.

“Hehe this very spoiled kid”
