Chapter 573

573 Don’t Touch Them.

Inside the carriage, where Bai Ying was. The young man sat in the carriage which was too narrow for him, although long enough for him if he wanted to lie down because he was tired, the carriage was still very small.

He saw from behind the curtains the sun was shining bright enough at that time. Actually, last night he had the opportunity to rummage through Princess Chai Ni’s belonging while she was fast asleep, looking for the heirloom Lightning Fire and Enchanting Plaque. After that, he could have run away quickly. But, what he heard last night made him undo his intention.

Princess Chai Ni sat beside him, in her mind he was fast asleep, so she didn’t hesitate to say whatever was in her heart at that time.

“I was indeed betrothed to the Crown Prince, who is already fifty years old and already has fifteen concubines. All done because Dai Yang needed iron stone natural resources to make weapons. They, who are said to be my family, dumped me as if I was nothing more important than a medium of trade. Mother talked to the other concubines behind me that she never want me to call her Mother. She did it because of orders from the Emperor, after all this time, I thought she was so kind like she was and loved me very much. I could forget all the grudges if only she loved me, even for a bit. Brother, he was also never there when I needed him, all he cared about was himself. And that rotten emperor, he pushed my birth mother to commit suicide, right in front of me, ems, how, I can endure all that, how can I live with all that? huks” The princess finally cried, she cried when everyone didn’t see her. She lowered her head so that the sleeping Bai Ying couldn’t hear her. But, he heard it, Bai Ying wasn’t really asleep at that time.

Bai Ying held his breath, fiddling with his long dangling sleeves dreamily.

“Heh, I wish His Highness the Crown Prince is here, he definitely knows what they have to do”

....

The group stopped outside the small town of Su Wei. A small town in the border area with a small population. They take a rest at the grass field where Princess Chai Ni was sitting under the shade of a tree enjoying tea and other snacks. She looked quite relaxed, although it was possible that Yue Yang’s or Dai Yang’s soldiers might chase them there.

One of the men dressed as a commoner and all the men from the Black Water clan were dressed in such a way to avoid suspicion of the other citizens approached and lowered his body in front of the princess.

.....

“Report Princess, the road leading to Bu Mo city is filled with troops from the capital, they are checking everyone who will pass by.”

Chai Ni put down her teacup after enjoying it for a while.

“Do, as usual, we will enter into several groups. You guys already have a pass from Yue Yang right? You can enter using it to bypass the guard. Meanwhile, the Viceroy and I will be in one carriage. They’ll let us in, don’t worry about that.”

The man nodded.

“Ready Princess”

After the man backed away, the Princess returned to enjoying her leisure time. The morning sun was very bright with the wind gently waving against her face. Fresh air with the warmth of the sun that is not so hot. Soft light wind caressing her pretty long hair swaying it far. It’s been a really nice time, she would just enjoy there for a moment while her men checked on the routes they should take next.

Chai Ni was just about to close her eyes enjoying her time when she heard her maid’s shrill voice.

“Princess!”

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

“What again? Why are you shouting so loudly? Can’t you see I don’t get disturbed?”

The young maid looked at Chai NI with big eyes, she pointed at the carriage not far from them.

“That, H-His Majesty the Young King, he is not in the carriage.”

Hearing that Chai Ning immediately sat up straight. Looking at the carriage where Bai Ying should be. She stood up from her seat looking at her servant with big eyes.

“What do you mean he’s not there, didn’t you give him sleeping pills earlier? How can he not be there?”

Without thinking she rushed to the empty carriage.

“Where’s the guard? Who’s supposed to be sitting here and guarding him, how can such a big kid disappear from your sight? Quickly find him until you get him?” Chai NI exclaimed furiously.

Soon everyone was busy looking for Bai Ying who disappeared from his carriage. Chai Ni must not lose the child, he is the only hope for her to be able to use that weapon, at least she doesn’t have to sacrifice herself and die a silly death because of the tremendous power of the sacred weapon.

She looked around. It’s a grass field where many locals come to gather and play, the kid could be anywhere right now.

Meanwhile, near the field under the big shady trees.

Some of the little ones were cute, judging by their age maybe around five to ten years old. Sitting around a young man with long, beautiful hair, with a small crown in a bun and a golden ribbon that dangled along his long shiny hair which waved gently as the wind passed. Who else but Bai Ying?

He squatted around the little children who were very serious about what Bai Ying was doing at that time. He participated in drawing on the surface of the small kite that the children had made. With Bai Ying’s sweet and adorable face, what little child wouldn’t want to be near him? Don’t know what he drew but it was enough to make the children mesmerized by the result.

“Wow, this is so cute, brother,” exclaimed the little boy the kite owner who was satisfied with the results.

Bai Ying nodded, he was so proud of himself.

“Yeah right, I told you didn’t I? It must be good.”

The shape is so irregular and doesn’t know what he’s drawn, a round with circles resembling eyes, nose and mouth, although it’s not clear it’s quite cute and adorable.

The other kids around him immediately shouted asking for their turn to draw their kites as well.

“It’s mine, Brother! Please draw mine too!” the kids shouted loudly.

“Mine too!”

It’s like heaven for Bai Ying who loves to play and kids.

Bai Ying took another kite and started to dip the brush again in the ink to draw.

It’s all began when he just walking around and found a group of local village children who gathered to play in the field. Most of the five or so little kids, boys and girls brought their kites that they made themselves at home to fly across the grass field, and one of the quietest girls brought a painting kit with her, which was very coincidental, two things that Bai Ying liked very much.

He sticks out his tongue while furrowing his brows very seriously as he scribbles his brush on the kite’s surface. He was so seriously drawing the line when he heard the screams of several children in front of him.

“Ah!”

Bai Ying raised his head. Widened his eyes when he saw several grown men already standing behind the little children and pulling their little bodies into the air.

“Ah, brother!”

One of the two men who lifted the children’s bodies easily seemed about to ram their little bodies against each other.

Bai Ying’s eyes went wide.

“What are you doing!” The young man stood up from his seat and spontaneously opened his arms wide pushing the two big tall men with the wind that came out of his palms. Catching the four little boys with the wind prevented the little ones from falling heavily to the ground.

“Ah!”

The two big men were pushed hard against the tree and fell to the ground, Bai Ying’s strength was so great that it even made the two big men unable to move in his hands.

Bai Ying’s eyes were big, he stood pulling the shocked and scared little kids behind him. Right now, it was impossible for anyone to dare to come forward to face Bai Ying whose sweet face had turned frightening enough for his opponent.

“Insolent! How can you treat a child like that!” His eyes gleamed, he could at least see the children being injured right in front of his eyes. A violent wind swirled around his body. His palm almost gave off a white light which he immediately muffled. He was too rash.

From behind the men who were standing alert in attacking positions, came Chai Ni who looked around her with big eyes.

Bai Ying lowered the air pressure around him

This bad. He was too emotional and accidentally showed his strength in front of the girl, he could ruin his plan. But he seems to don’t care anymore at that time.

Bai Ying spread his arms as the Princess advanced towards his.

“Don’t get any closer, don’t blame me if I throw everyone here even worse, don’t you ever touch them with your dirty hands”

Chai Ni’s eyes widened, swallowing hard, she never expect that cute little young man to be this scary, the flames were ready to come out from his eyes.
