CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

Luo Xiang turned his head, looking at the young man sharply.

“Your sister kidnapped Ying Ying so she can use him to control the power of the Lightning Flame which is too strong for her body, I don’t know what made her change her mind, but that’s none of my concern, everything that happens in this country is yours”

“It won’t be just my concern alone anymore. when the Fire Lord rose from his slumber. All countries, not just Dai Yang, the closest Yue Yang and Wah Ye would be destroyed by it. What do you think that brought all the nations together in the past paralyzed him?”

“You still dare to ask for help after what you and your sister did to Ying Ying, what a shame, and you almost took his dignity away. So far, only I can touch him” said Luo Xiang indignantly.

Lo Yi swallowed hard, he could die silly with one punch from that man, but nothing could stop him from speaking at that moment. But Luo Xiang didn’t seem to care about it any further. Crown Prince Luo Xiang waved his hand putting it behind his waist and headed back into the house. Leaving Lo Yi still watching him, he knew that if he didn’t leave soon, he could kill the young man with a single blow, and that would definitely make Bai Ying sad and furious with him.

“Bei, tell everyone to get ready, we will leave when Ying Ying wakes up”

Bei Yau nodded.

“Ready Your Majesty”

.....

Bei Yau still stood there for a moment looking at Lo Yi who was still standing firmly, looking at Luo Xiang’s shoulder that was moving away, he couldn’t do much more to persuade him. He lowered his head in front of Lo Yi before excusing himself to retreat.

“Please excuse me, Your Majesty”

........

Bai Ying opened his eyes. Raised his hand to ward off the sunlight that hit his eyes.

“You’re awake.”

Luo Xiang’s voice. He was sitting beside Bai Ying who was sleeping on a clean cloth on a haystack. At least even if it was dirty the empty house could be a warm enough place for everyone to take shelter there all night.

Bai Ying shifted his body. The Crown Prince’s hand was still tightly holding his, and he turned his body and lifted his other hand to hug Luo Xiang’s waist, last night he didn’t dream.

“Your Highness”

Luo Xiang smiled. He stroked Bai Ying’s hair and kissed his forehead.

“Are you feeling better? You had a high fever last night.

Bai Ying closed his eyes and rested his head on the Crown Prince’s lap. He nodded.’

“Yes, I’m fine, Your Majesty, last night, I didn’t dream, if Your Majesty really came after me, thank you, Your Majesty, for coming.”

Luo Xiang caressed Bai Ying’s face and forehead, lowering his head and pressing their foreheads together.

“Heh, Brother is almost late, please forgive me, we got a lot of obstacles on the way here, lucky Chen Ming’s tracking coin can find you wherever you are, otherwise I might lose you”

Bai Ying saw Luo Xiang who looked at him for a long time. He lifted his head slightly and touch-kissed the Crown Prince’s lips.

“Chup” a short sweet kiss.

Luo Xiang widened his eyes, he didn’t expect Bai Ying to do it. The young man only smiled at the Crown Prince who looks very surprised.

“Eh, Ying Ying”

Bai Ying raised his two hands and hugged the Crown Prince’s neck, lifting his body and hugging the big man’s whole body.

“Your Majesty, forgive Ying for forgetting Your Majesty, how could I forget our love”

Luo Xiang almost couldn’t believe what he heard, he held Bai Ying’s slender waist holding his hanging body and hugging him.

“Ying Ying” he smiled, not wanting to think about anything other than hugging Bai Ying tightly, just hugging him. His big hands grabs the kid’s thin body completely, it was unimaginable how happy he was at that moment until finally the tears that had been stuck in his eyes fell to his cheek. He had almost never cried before, but as for Bai Ying, he didn’t know how many times he had it.

“Ying Ying”

The journey resumed. But they returned to the previous path they had taken to get out of Dai Yang.

On the way before parting ways with Lo Yi who was about to head to the capital, the group stopped for a moment to buy a horse carriage that Bai Ying would use to return to Yue Yang.

Before long, the group finally continued their journey. The wooden carriage although not luxurious but spacious enough for Bai Ying and the Crown Prince to sit alone inside.

Inside the carriage that was constantly swaying, Luo Xiang who was sitting behind Bai Ying tried to brush Bai Ying’s long hair and tie it up.

“Don’t move much Ying, I try to tie your hair, why is it so long and thick like this”

“I don’t move much Your Majesty, but the carriage just keeps swaying, after all the road is a bit bumpy, why didn’t Your Majesty comb my hair in the hut earlier ?”

“We don’t have much time so we can do this during our trip right?”

Bai Ying tried to turn his body to look at the Crown Prince, but Luo Xiang’s hands kept turning his shoulders.

“Em, Your Majesty, aren’t we going to help Dai Yang to face whatever calamity is about to happen? I had a very bad dream. I saw a very large creature, as big as a mountain, emitting fire and lava that destroyed palaces and residents’ settlements, a lot of people died.”

Luo Xiang almost stopped his hand movements, but he didn’t.

“That’s none of our business Ying, whatever beasts it is, we can’t interfere in other people’s country matters if they don’t ask for it.”

“But Your Majesty, brother Lo Yi, looks like he really needs help. He looks desperate, just like Ying, Brother Lo Yi must be more or less what will happen if any creature like in my dream, or like what brother Lo Yi has known all along will completely destroys Dai Yang. Then, do Your Majesty have the heart to see so many innocent people become victims because we don’t want to interfere?”

Luo Xiang finally stopped his hand, just then Bai Ying turned around to look at him.

“Your Majesty, I know Your Majesty very well, I believe Your Majesty is not someone who can just sit back and watch the disaster in front of us while we do nothing. At least, we’ll see if they really need help or not, if not, let’s just say we provide moral support to Brother Lo Yi,” said Bai Ying touching Luo Xiang’s hand.

Luo Xiang looked away sharply.

“Why do we need to give him moral support? Does that rotten Crown Prince Dai Yang still deserve our support? I almost cut off his hand for daring to touch you.”

Bai Ying frowned at the Crown Prince’s incoherent words.

“What does Your Majesty mean?”

Luo Xiang saw Bai Ying’s curious eyes watching him waiting for his answer, he shook his head quickly.

“Eh, I mean, that man can’t be trusted, he could have tricked us to go there, he and his sister might have cooperated.”

Bai Ying pulled his lips, he shook his head.

“I don’t think so, Your Majesty, I know quite a lot about how Brother Lo Yi really is, even though we just meet but I’m pretty sure, that Brother Lo Yi has a good and sincere nature, he will not let his citizens in danger let alone become victims”

Previously in the middle of the market the stopover city Land Wind.

Bai Ying was sitting on the horse while the Crown Prince conferred with Bei Yau to choose the horse carriage. The youth looked at Lo Yi who for a moment stopped looking at him.

“Brother Lo Yi”

Not long after, the two of them were sitting near the small river on the side of the street market.

“Please forgive brother for being disrespectful to you, heh, I just don’t want you to hurt yourself, what a fool I am, how can you get hurt, brother’s strength can resist any poison, whatever it is”

Bai Ying and Lo Yi sat on the top of the river divider that divides the middle of the city which is connected by a small bridge that is enough for one medium-sized train to pass. Bai Ying hadn’t even had time to tie his hair properly and just gathered it together and tied it up with a makeshift straw.

The wind was blowing hard enough to caress his hair far away. Lo Yi swallowed hard, how can Bai Ying’s face under any circumstances make him stunned and bewitched, his chest feels tight and his stomach is hot, even though he knows he shouldn’t feel that way for him, but how can he hold himself back?
