CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

623 No Worry

Bai Ying smiled. Lifting his arms to hug the Crown Prince’s neck and making him stand on tiptoe, the Crown Prince let the young man step on his feet so he could hug him.

“Your Highness, will we arrive at Yue Yang after passing this village?” asked Bai Ying.

Luo Xiang pursed his lips, touching the tip of Bai Ying’s nose with his finger.

“Why? Is my Ying Ying can’t wait to go back home?” he asked.

Bai Ying puffed out his mouth and nodded.

“Yes Your Majesty, I can’t wait to soak in our bath all night, um, want to try the bath oil we bought yesterday in town, it smells really good.”

Luo Xiang pulled Bai Ying’s body closer to him, sniffing the young man’s neck, he still smells so good even after sweating for half a day.



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

“Em, this indeed smells good, my Ying Ying always smells good with any bath oil, even if you don’t take a shower, what’s your secret, my love? Did the King of Realms use his enchantment spell to entice this Crown Prince so he was unable to stop getting crazy about you, what a naughty kid”

Bai Ying chuckled as the Crown Prince’s mischievous hands held his waist and tickled him.

.....

“Hehehe Your Highness, what would I use incantations on Your Highness, it would just be a waste of my energy then”

Luo Xiang pinched Bai Ying’s nose.

“Oh really? Is dealing with the Crown Prince really draining your energy? Is that true?”

Bai Ying couldn’t help but smile, looking at the Crown Prince’s eyes that were looking at him greatly.

“Then, will His Highness be mad? Or, bored? For this Ying Ying of yours to use an enchantment spell to keep His Highness from leaving?” he asked.

Luo Xiang saw Bai Ying’s face from a very close distance. See a pair of large round eyes, with curled eyelashes, and large eyelids with clear brown eyes. A sharp little nose, with soft lips resembling a split plum. He tilted his head and kissed his lips gently.

Chup

Bai Ying smiled, not expecting the Crown Prince ever to look at him deeply, he find worry in his eyes.

“Your Highness, is Your Highness not confident in being able to beat that Crown Prince of Son Wa? Your Highness is the greatest Heavenly King, in this world, no one will be able to beat Your Majesty, of course, besides the King of Realms.”
Hearing Bai Ying’s words which in the end actually praised himself, the Crown Prince again pinched Bai Ying’s cheeks in exasperation.

“This kid, I thought you were really praising me, this brat.”

Bai Ying chuckled as the Crown Prince tickled her again.

“Ah, Your Highness stop it!”

The Crown Prince looked deep into Bai Ying’s eyes, with smiling eyes looked at him for a long time, then lifted his chin and kissed his lips gently.

“Chup chup”

The sun was shining hotter, and the wind was blowing gently but strong enough to blow their magnificent big and wide clothes which seemed to blend into one in the air. Luo Xiang held onto Bai Ying’s waist as if lifting him up easily until the young man’s feet were no longer touching his. Holding his hands behind his waist and lifting him up so he could kiss him easily.

“Ying Ying”

.....

The journey resumed. In the evening the group arrived at the Dai Yang border gate to Yue Yang and were greeted by General Mu Yi and his troops.

“Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince and Viceroy, may Your Highness always be healthy and live a long life!”

One field was filled with border guard soldiers who returned to duty after some time ago rebelling due to Princess Chai Ni’s spell, wonder how the Princess is now? Thought Bai Ying who saw that the General himself was in good condition.

Thanks to the Viceroy’s request, the Emperor pardoned General Mu Yi and his troops by punishing them to continue their duties of guarding the outer borders for the next ten years.

The huge horses belonging to the Crown Prince and Bai Ying, as well as Bei Yau’s to Su Lang and the Xin Hua troops, stood firmly in front of the gate with proud heads. The number of Su Lang’s men, although not many, was quite eye-catching. In addition to the horses from the Pai Hua Grasslands with the big build stature, and also the robes worn by the soldiers to the horse’s mantles, which looked very beautiful even under the reflection of the oil lamps.

The group ended up staying overnight at the guest residence in the main building of Dai Yang’s east gate. The same place where Bai Ying had been held captive by Chai Ni before.

After a day and night trip without stopping from the city of Winds Land stopover, they can finally rest in a comfortable place to collect energy for the trip the next day.

The location of the east gate fort itself is between two big country cities, surrounded by desert and rocks with the roar of the wind that blows very hard, cold at night and hot during the day.

It turned out that the atmosphere at night at the east gate supervisory headquarters was very calm and quite peaceful. There is almost no sound whatsoever because the gate is far from residential areas.

Luo Xiang and Bei Yau walk in the garden area beside the field to train the troops to discuss.

“Your Highness, will Your Highness accept the challenge of a duel with the Crown Prince and that Crown Prince of Son Wa? I have heard that the white tiger is indeed located in the west where Wah Ye is, but did not expect that the mystical creature would bow down to the Great Son Wa royal tribe’s family.”

Luo Xiang walked slowly with his hands clasped behind his waist. He looked thoughtful.

“When I was little, I once heard my mother tell me about the legend of a white tiger trying to become human by eating human flesh. One hundred years ago the white tiger who was supposed to finish his meditation begged the sky to give him a chance to ascend to heaven, but they did not grant his wish so he caused havoc everywhere. I thought it was just storytelling for kids because Mother herself only got it from children’s fairy tales written by palace writers.”

Bei Yau frowned.

“Your Highness, this matter seems like we really should ask Elder Yi or Lord Shin further, they must know the true story.”

Luo Xiang pulled his lips. Looking far ahead.

“The thing is, if it’s true that Son Wa has the White Tiger as their strength, they must be very formidable and have the upper hand, even daring to challenge their own Viceroy. I don’t think it’s a simple matter to just propose to the Viceroy, Bei, what would what the state wants is bigger than just unification.”

...

Inside Bai Ying’s room.

After eating dinner and taking a bath, Bai Ying was getting ready to get his comfortable rest. There was Chen Ming standing behind him brushing his long, still slightly wet hair.

“Little brother, your hair is getting a little rough, this trip has made it worse, grandma will definitely be angry when she finds out you don’t take good care of your hair. Look at this, tangled like this” Chen Ming grumbled while combing Bai Ying’s long hair.

Bai Ying puffed out his mouth.

“I always take care of it Brother, don’t you see that I always carry hair oil and other things wherever I go? It’s just that lately there’s no sister Yan and sister Bi to help me wash my hair, it gets a bit messy like this”

Chen Ming frowned mouth, twitching Bai Ying’s ear in delight.

“You, why are you always relying on your maids? Can’t you do anything by yourself? Great King Realm.”

Bai Ying turned to his brother with a sharp gaze.

“What does that have to do with being a Realm King with that? After all, why should I do everything myself, right? There’s Sister Yan and Sister Bi?”

“Well, then where are they now?”

“They’re not coming Brother, because this trip is dangerous, don’t you know about that?”

Chen Ming was still trying to patiently serve his brother’s very innocent answer.

“This kid, yeah that’s what I mean, when it’s dangerous like this you should be able to do anything by yourself, don’t always rely on others.”

But it wasn’t Bai Ying if he was willing to give in to other people’s words, even his own brother.

“It’s just for a while Brother, you know we will meet them again later. I wonder what are they doing while I was not there. They must have just sat and slept until their bellies were fat, those two lazy big sisters. They must be so happy and feel so free when I’m not around, just wait until I get back”
