CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

Contrary to what happened in the depths of the Fo Wang volcano. The energy vibrations create ruins in a very dark cave and something awakens from it. Something that was the same size as the cavern as if a huge mountain was moving with it.

Princess Chai Ni’s entourage that was moving towards Fo Wang mountain stopped their horses as the tremors on the ground passed them. The tremors weren’t that pronounced, but what happened after that was clearly felt. As if the volcano that stretched long in front of them moves.

“What happened?”

Her servant Lu er approached.

“Princess, it looks like it came from a volcano.”

Chai Ni pulled her horse reins and continued her way even though the horses looked quite scared.

“We’re moving!” she exclaimed.

While there was a mumbling sound from the bottom of the cave at the bottom part of the volcano.

.....

“Hoaaa, ??who has woken me up?”

The vibrations in the ground also arrived as far east as Yue Yang, far from the borders of Dai Yang, Bai Ying’s pulse of energy arrived as far as Liu Yang where the Er Wang pagoda was. The subtle vibrations made the pagoda sway. The citizens who had come to pray remained calm inside because something like that had happened many times before.

It was said that Er Wang who was sleeping on the top floor of the pagoda would turn his tail to make ruins around him, however, the next tremor felt stronger, until finally, the people who were praying in droves ran out.

“Earthquake!”

On the top floor of the pagoda where Er Wang’s physical form had been sleeping all this time. After the Realm King disappeared, only Er Wang turned to stone and inhabited the top floor of the pagoda that was directly facing the sky, but this time the stone statue’s eyes lit up again, the orange light from his eyes brightly spreading to the scales starting from his head changing into its original shape. A white dragon with shiny scales.

“Hoaaa, ??King of Nature, you’ve back, this is really great”

...

Chen Ming still keeps looking at his back. There was no other sound after the old house turned into a ball of fire. The sky which was dark before turned so bright as the ball of light formed from Bai Ying’s energy as if it was ready to explode. He could destroy all these places in an instant with it.

Chen Ming was about to approach the old house again but Xiao Hong held him back.

“My Prince”

Xiao Hong’s grip on his wrist so tight forbade him from going, he even groaned as Xiao Hong held his hand which had blistered from the fire on Bai Ying’s body when he held him earlier.

“Akh”

Xiao Hong tugged on Chen Ming’s arm, checking his hand which was red and hurt when he touched it.

“Your Majesty, you are injured.”

Bei Yau who was standing not far in front of the two turned his head, he was also worried to see how Chen Ming was. Even some of his sleeves were slightly burned.

“Eh”

But Xiao Hong’s body got in the way, let alone touched him.

“Come, let’s treat the wound first, don’t worry, His Majesty the Viceroy and His Highness the Crown Prince can handle it by themself”

Chen Ming can just let Xiao Hong pull him to the other way.

“But Hong”

While in the circle.

Luo Xiang hugged Bai Ying tightly. The two stood in the centre of the circle of fire and roaring white energy swirled around them.

Luo Xiang held Bai Ying’s cheeks looking at the pair of wistful eyes of the young man who was already back at him. He smiled.

“Hey, brat, did you miss me so much that you made a mess like this?” Luo Xiang whispered.

Bai Ying looked into Luo Xiang’s eyes for a long time, until he couldn’t control the tears falling from his eyes to see Luo Xiang as if he had not seen him for a long time. A very long time.

“Ems, Your Majesty, don’t leave me”

Bai Ying hugged him tightly, and Luo Xiang’s hand relentlessly stroked his head trying to calm him down. The howling wind made Bai Ying’s hair and clothes flutter around Luo Xiang’s body.

“Hey sweet boy, calm down, Brother will always be here, forgive Brother for being late to catch up with you, I will never leave you alone again well, please forgive me”

Bai Ying’s trembling hands hugged Luo Xiang’s neck tightly. Luo Xiang lifted Bai Ying’s slender waist lifting him up so he could hug him tightly. Slowly the massive energy with the roar of the dragons around him diminished, gradually fading away until Bai Ying fell into his arms.

“Brat” Bai Ying’s long hair just loose and fell down just like that. He raise Bai Ying’s limp hands around his neck, bent his knees and lifted the young man into his arms.

The sky turns dark again as if nothing has happened before.

.......

The sun shone brightly again. Even though the heavy rain and chaos last night almost destroyed the old building in the middle of the deserted road to the valley, it didn’t make the sun with all the freshness of the morning late shine again that time.

Its scorching rays emerged from behind the thick leaves that grew so dense on the big trees that grew around the old abandoned house building. The little birds cheerfully still took the time to fly from branch to branch, down to the fertile land full of moss and worms to eat their breakfast.

Chen Ming couldn’t stop looking at Xiao Hong’s face shining in the sunlight. The young bird couldn’t hide the smile that couldn’t leave his face, ever since Chen Ming woke up from his sleep he had seen Xiao Hong’s face like that. And it looks like the young bird didn’t sleep either and had sat all night vigil beside him.

He got up early in the morning and prepared clean water and a cloth to wash his red hand and change its bandage.

“Hong, what made you so happy and couldn’t stop smiling since just now?” Chen Ming asked. Xiao Hong who was washing Chen Ming’s slightly red wrist only pulled his lips and shook his head.

“I don’t know Your Majesty, someone is making me unable to stop smiling, just thinking about him makes my heart flutter, I wonder, what has happened to me, huh? Did I also poisoned by the Love Potion?” asked Xiao Hong who raised his head and looked Chen Ming deep in the eyes.

Chen Ming tried to pull his hand away but Xiao Hing held on to it tightly.

“Silly, where did you learn such cheap words from? And if you were poisoned by the Love Potion, would you be able to control yourself this well?”

Xiao Hong couldn’t stop smiling, it was true as if he’s been hit by the love spell. Can’t let Chen Ming’s hand off his grip.

“I can’t control myself right now, soon I might explode with excitement.”

Chen Ming pulled his lips.

“Ridiculous”

The soldiers resting around the empty house began to pack up their belongings preparing to continue their journey.

Luo Xiang came out of the room in the interior of the empty house where he and Bai Ying had rested all night. Stopping his steps looked at Chen Ming and Xiao Hong who were sitting in the front room.

Bei Yau approached when he saw Luo Xiang standing in front of the rickety door of the building that could at least protect them from the rain all night.

“Your Majesty”

“We will return to Xian Yang, Bei, this country’s business is no longer ours. I don’t want Ying Ying to be hurt more than this” Luo Xiang said.

He hadn’t finished his sentence when he heard a voice from the other side.

“Please help us”

Lo Yi’s voice.

Luo Xiang turned his head, looking at the man with sharp eyes. He clenched his fists tightly, holding back his anger that had not yet subsided seeing what that person did last night. He really wanted to cut off Crown Prince Dai Yang’s hand because he dared to hold Bai Ying’s innocent body with his hand, also couldn’t help burning the young man’s lips for kissing Ying Ying’s neck, how could he hold back any longer if he kept looking at the man that, even though he knew, it wasn’t his fault.

Luo Xiang turned his body in another direction. He had to be able to contain his anger.

“You yourself said that we have no right to interfere in the affairs of this country, now that I have found Ying Ying, it is time for us to return to Yue Yang.”

The Crown Prince was about to turn into the house but Lo Yi’s voice stopped his movements again.
