CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

258 Elder.

“You guys stand guard here, fewer rides will be safer, any creatures won’t see so much movement that attracts their attention.”

The young guard raised his head, he looked stuttered.

“But Your Majesty, it’s our duty to keep Your Majesty safe”

“No but, you guys know who well I’am and don’t need you guy’s protection, Master Yo, is the cave entrance on the other side of this cliff?” asked the Crown Prince.

YoTang nodded.

“That’s right Your Majesty, it’s half a day’s journey”

LuoXiang glanced at ShinYa who looked a bit tired, of course, he didn’t have any martial arts skills, walking for so long must have consumed his energy.

“Master Shin, I might really need you there, according to Physician Ou those beasts can’t be fought with ordinary martial arts, and your spell might be able to paralyze them”

ShinYa nodded, he clenched his fists in front of his face.

.....

“Respectfully Your Majesty, immobilize wild animals were in another level different with humans or demi’s, but servant will do the best”

Without waiting longer LuoXiang wags his clothes are wide and go before they head to the small road that is overgrown with many plants because it is almost never traveled

Some guards of The Crown Prince were forced to stay in place because the Crown Prince’s orders were clear enough, no one was allowed to follow him.

....

It didn’t take long, the Crown Prince, ShinYa, and YoTang had already faced several beasts guarding the Golden Buffalo Mountain, ShinYa tried to cast spells past a group of red monkeys the size of a cat that was very agile, a little scratch from their nails could cause people to die instantly because of the poison.

The noise of the red monkeys gathering at the very front among the tall trees sounded noisy, ShinYa cast a protective spell for the three to walk slowly through the growing herd of Monkeys, even though YoTang had brought all the antidote from his school, still got hit by the poison of the red Monkey which would greatly slow down their movement, and the Crown Prince didn’t want that, every time for YingYing was precious.

Last night in the living room of the bungalow.

The Crown Prince couldn’t move, healer Ou’s words made his chest hurt and speechless.

Physician Ou lowered his head in salute, the old man looked with dispirited eyes, a pair of tired and hopeless wrinkled eyes.

“Please forgive this servant, Your Majesty, but, even Master YiXing’s reversing energy is so slow at work, this, my failure”

“So, you mean, even though YingYing had sacrificed himself to be completely naked, his whole body was sore and cold but his energy didn’t back to its core? Then, what does it mean that he has suffered all this time?”

Chen Ming came forward.

“Healer Ou, little brother has great inner strength, before he could heal himself so perfectly, why did just one death blow make all his energy turn against him? Isn’t there anything else we can do?” he asked.
Not wanting to linger the Crown Prince returned to his room, sat on the edge of the bed where BaiYing rested his head on his lap, and fell asleep tired.

The Crown Prince held his breath while stroking the hair of the young man who was fast asleep like a child in his lap he was lost in thought, his gaze far out the window in the room.

The Crown Prince lowered his head and kissed BaiYing’s forehead.

“YingYing, heh”

Returning to the Golden Buffalo mountain forest, ShinYa managed to bring the three of them out of the red monkey’s encirclement, but the terrain in front of them was much more dangerous, not far from the crowd of red monkeys in the interior there was mud that flooded the road, and it wasn’t ordinary mud, live mud that can paralyze even a buffalo and suck it up easily.

Crown Prince had to jump from one rock to another to avoid the mud, while YoTang helped ShinYa who couldn’t jump too far.

“Let’s go Master Shin.”

It was indeed the right decision for the Crown Prince to leave many of his men at the foot of the mountain, the more people who passed, the more difficult it would be for them to pass through the dangerous terrain, no wonder no one dared to cross that road even though there were so many rare medicinal plants and also very precious natural stone there.

“Come on Master Yo!” cried the Crown Prince who had arrived at the end of the road, but he didn’t notice something coming towards him, YoTang’s eyes widened when he saw something behind the Crown Prince.

“Your Highness be careful!” YoTang exclaimed as a large plant attacked the Crown Prince, wrapping its roots around LuoXiang’s waist and pulling him towards the dense trees.

“Whoosh!”

“No, Your Majesty!” exclaimed ShinYa, who rushed in pursuit as YoTang lowered his body on the ground, both of them rushed towards behind the dense trees where the Crown Prince disappeared.

........

Tikk ??tikk tikk.

The sound of water drops.

The atmosphere was very quiet, too quiet to not hear any sound.

BaiYing’s eyes slowly opened, he fell unconscious and opened his eyes in unbearable pain.

When his eyesight was still blurry he seemed to see the figure of someone in front of him, was he just dreaming?

“Ouch” his head hurt unbelievably and his bones too, his whole body felt like it was hit by a rock.

“Akh”

The figure was real, in front of BaiYing, and he was not dreaming, when his vision was clear he woke up and pulled his body quickly.

“Ah!”

The figure just smiled, lowered his head to look at BaiYing’s face from a very close distance, a man, his face was clean and handsome, sparkling with a wide smile adorning his cheeks, his hair was long and shiny, and the color was silver! He was like an old man but his face was still very smooth like a youth.

“Wow, what day is this? Why is there suddenly a very beautiful guest coming to visit my rickety hut? Is this a dream?” The man’s voice was light.

BaiYing pulled himself to the corner of the couch, but his left leg hurt so badly that he couldn’t move further than that.

“Akh w-who are you? Are you a ghost or a human? Are you, the ancestor of Medicine Valley? ooh please forgive Ying’er, Ying’er was wrong to take an apple without permission huh?, please don’t disturb Ying’er” the young man closed his eyes tightly while praying, he may be imagining or actually seeing ghosts, whatever it is he is afraid of ghosts.

However, the young man laughed instead.

“Hahahaha you’re so cute, hold on” he stretched out his hand to grab BaiYing’s hand, BaiYing’s eyes widened as the man’s warm hand held it and pressed his palm to his cheek, he was real, it was human skin, he was human just like himself.



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

BaiYing stuttered. While the man was still smiling broadly at him with a pair of large and sunken eyes, with a deep but very friendly look.

“Hehehe sweet child, what’s your name? Why are you here? Which lightning struck you to this place?”

BaiYing stuttered, he didn’t know what to say, while the man’s hand was still holding his hand tightly.

“Eh that..”

BaiYing slowly withdrew his hand, did he just meet another pervert? Why did that man look at him like he was a very delicious meal, what a scary look.

The young man smiled, he reached for something on the table behind him, a bowl filled with fresh leaves.

“Sweet child, why is your smooth body so full of wounds, look at your hands, and your feet too, tsk tsk”

BaiYing couldn’t help but as the man pulled his injured left hand and pressed the leaf to the wound surface, the chill was a bit biting but after that, it felt quite comfortable, the pain of the wound, which he has not paid attention and it becomes so mess was getting better.

“Thank you Master, eh”

The man continued to take off the shoe on BaiYing’s left foot, there was a fairly large bruise on his ankle, and it was very uncomfortable, even the slightest movement caused excruciating pain.

“Akh” he moaned as the man’s painstaking hand touched his bruise.

“Ouch look at these smooth legs, hold on, it’s going to hurt a bit, looks like you sprained it and I need to turn it back”

BaiYing opened his eyes wide, he wasn’t even ready when the man’s hand twisted his ankle.

“Ahhh!”

The excruciating pain made him scream so loudly, so loudly that the little birds perched on the roof of the hut flew away.

“chirp chips”

......

Not long after.

The man had already bandaged BaiYing’s sprained ankle, at least the pain had lessened a lot from the first time the man had reversed his position. He is quite patient, thought BaiYing who couldn’t move much and could only lean on the rattan couch.

He glanced around, it was a small room resembling a hut, not very big and had big windows on three sides, and only one door, although the objects in the room were not very attractive everything was placed so neatly, there was even a pot with fresh flowers on the top of the table behind the window, and a small branch deliberately placed beside it for small birds to perch.

BaiYing dropped his head back, his stomach hurt so bad, he was hungry, and even though his whole body hurt but what he felt the most right now was his hungry stomach.

The rumbling sound of his stomach was loud enough to be heard by the man’s ears.

“Hehe” the man smiled seeing the boy’s face, he finished threatening his leg.
