198 Grandpa Po
General Po approached BaiYIng, clenching his two fists in front of the boy, but BaiYing quickly hold him as the old man was about to lower his knee.
âGrandfather, no, grandfather is Yingâer grandfather, no grandfather bows his body in front of his own grandson.â
General Po didnât move, slowly raised his head to look at BaiYing, who looked at him with teary eyes, almost crying, the child was a little hesitant, but finally, General Po came forward and hugged him,
âHehe sweet boy, forgave grandpa for not telling you anything, grandpa just wants you to be able to live your life as a normal child who is always happy with your life, as well as your parents, they want you can become HuaBaiYing, a merchantâs son from ChangSan, they do whatever they can to keep you safe, and...â General Po let go of his embrace, raising his head to look at the Crown Prince.
âEven though you lost your memory of your LuoXiang brother, you didnât recognize him for a while, but the Crown Prince didnât forget you, if you remember, it might be easier to send you to the palace, so there is no other choice HuaLie finally thought how to smuggle you into the palace, because His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be able to protect you.â
LuoXiang grabbed BaiYingâs shoulder.
âOf course, even with my life, I will protect my YingYingâ
BaiYing held back his tears from dripping down, LuoXiangâs big hand helped him to wipe them from his soft cheeks.
âYou, why do you always crying? As a young man, and now as a king, you shouldnât cry too muchâ
.....
BaiYing looked up to see LuoXiangâs face looking at him with sharp eyes
âBut how can Iâm not crying Your Majesty, all of this is so sad, Iâm so pitifulâ BaiYing trying to hold back his tears, but instead he cried, even more, so General Po couldnât stop himself from laughing.
âHehehehe this XiaoYing, why are you so pitiful? Who said this XiaoYing was pathetic? Such a sweet child, with so much love around you, how can this sweet child be so pitiful, hahahahaâ
BaiYing pursed his lips, now everyone was laughing at him, including ShinYa and AYa who were standing not far behind him.
âGrandpaâ
LuoXiang also couldnât help but smile, no matter what, but HuaBaiYingâs life wasnât miserable, he was just a little unlucky, his greatest fortune is, was that this majestic Crown Prince loved him so much, so much that all walls, in his heart only HuaBaiYingâs name were engraved very clearly there.
âHahahahaâ the sound of laughter was still heard breaking the atmosphere of General Poâs army release to return to XianYang.
âXiaoYing will visit XianYang often, Grandpa,â said BaiYing, General Po nodded while stroking BaiYingâs head gently.
âOf course sweet child, grandpa will always be waiting for you, okay?â
.......
Before long, the sky finally darkened, many have happened today, and the palace which being left by YueYangâs bodyguards, after a while, there will be the Crown Prince and his armyâs turn to return to the Capital, not with commander Liu, the task would still be to occupy a post in SuiLian helped the local government manage the safety, it was reported by FaLu, one of WahYeâs troop leaders, that some of the Black Water Clans might still have a different understanding from them and would cause chaos at times, even some of the surviving Clan elders were still running the Clan and building headquarters somewhere, whether itâs near SuiLian or maybe not, but there are still many of them that might threaten the peace in SuiLian and WahYe palace, so Commander Liuâs job doesnât stop there, of course, this makes LiuFu very happy, apparently after almost losing FengHan made LiuFu realize how important that young man was to him, beyond than he expected.
And that night LiuFu asked for permission from the Crown Prince to take FengHan back to his home in SuiLian, as well as attend the banquet held by the Governor to welcoming their little son and also celebrate the revival of the WahYe palace, all the SuiLian citizens looked happy and filled the streets to celebrate.
âHehehe this is greatâ the many vendors who make the atmosphere of the street more lively with bright lights on and music from WahYe artists who have been hidden for a long time for fear of being banned, to graceful dances and beautiful colorful clothes typical of WahYe details, there is almost no corner where the sound of laughter can be heard clearly.
âHahahahaâ
While inside PaiHua city,
The pulse of the new city which was still being worked on by its citizens decreased as the sun went down, and the dark sky which made everyone enter their homes, the cold air in PaiHua valley was different from in SuiLian city of course, the atmosphere was calm, where it was still crickets can be heard clearly, the sound of night birds from a distance, owls on tall trees around the city, as well as night bats that fly past occasionally, even a few small weasels can be seen crossing the roofs of residentsâ houses and continuing their way to their homes after busy searching for foods.
Several patrol officers crossed the main road and lowered their heads to see LuoXiang pass by.
LuoXiang stepped slowly, carrying BaiYing who was half asleep on his shoulder back towards the palace after being satisfied enjoying the sunset on the highest cliff where he continued to see General Poâs army finally disappearing among the dense trees, the group had to enter the cloud forest before heading back to the main road out of SuiLian city, then can continue the journey to XianYang.
BaiYingâs face when he saw the group leave, as if letting go of his own parents which will take a long time to be able to see him again, he couldnât bear to see the sadness in BaiYingâs beautiful eyes.
âLater, when we return to the palace, we will stop by XianYang, does YingYing want that?â LuoXiang asked in a vouge voice, not answering right away, BaiYing who was very tired and rested his head on LuoXiangâs broad shoulders then shook his head.
âNo need Your Majesty, the path is different, weâd better go straight back to the palace, heading to XianYang will take another half way, grandfather must be very busy training new people who will replace himâ
âThatâs right, later after our business is finished in the palace, we will head there, or, we can invite your grandfather to the palace, after all, he must meet father because he will retire soon, not long, YingYing will be able to see him againâ
BaiYing nodded, he hugged LuoXiangâs chest even tighter.
âEmh, servant so tired, Your Majesty, let me sleep.â
LuoXiang smiled, BaiYingâs small body was nothing in his arms, the young man looked like a child.
âSure, just close your eyesâ
Shortly after arriving at their room inside WahYe palace, they will name the palace with the name XinHua, meaning new flower, since this is a new era of WahYe country with a new face, the maid helps to remove the blanket while LuoXiang put BaiYingâs body who was already sound asleep on the bed, the boyâs arms still tightly wrapped around his neck.
âEmh that one is delicious, give it to Yingâerâ he delirious when LuoXiang tried to release his grip, BaiYingâs tired face is really cute, he is very tired, of course very tired, he has done a lot today, since this morning, this child who stupidly gives all the energy that ErWang had back into the dragonâs body, and now in BaiYingâs body there was only shielding energy that would help protect him from any attack or poison, donât know what else he could do, but LuoXiang saw with his own eyes that he took out all the white flames from his body and gave it to ErWang so that the dragon could return to LiuYang, however, BaiYingâs extraordinary strength made the dragon have to submit and stay in the pagoda and not even come out, as one of the punishments for almost devoured him and wreaked havoc on everyone, if he didnât punish him, LuoXiang would.
According to ShinYa, the energy that was already in BaiYingâs body was only strengthened by the dragon, basically, the child was already born as a Realm Lord, just like the old King YenHui, the Lord of the realms can control dragons, make dragons follow their wishes so they can control the weather as they please, even though it had been a long time since the last dragon lived and King YenHui until the end of his life could not order any dragon to save him out of the Blue Palace until the end of his life.
LuoXiang smoothed BaiYingâs front hair which fell untidy to cover his cheeks, his wet red lips pulled the Crown Prince closer and kissed him.
âChuppâ
âBratâ
That morning....
The sun rose, its bright and warm rays as it hit the skin as everyone who had climbed to the top of the cliff where ErWang rested.
LuoXiang took BaiYingâs hand together as he approached the dragon that was still coiling meditating to gather its energy, how could he not be exhausted, the decades of energy he had forged in order to become a full dragon and ascend to the sky had to be taken from his body and left only a little for him to endure, who else but a child, the innocent little boy who was now standing in front of him who did it, ErWangâs pair of red eyes that normally shone very brightly were still dim, he had to lower his head when he saw BaiYing approaching, the vibration of the aura that was clearly visible on BaiYingâs body, by his pair of eyes made him depressed.
âMy Lord Realmâ
BaiYing was accompanied by LuoXiang, also ChenMing, General Po, ShinYa, and aYa, also BeiYau, and later WuLan who was approaching assisted by MeMa following up.
The howling wind as ErWang moved made everyone close their eyes from exposure to the dust, the white dragon with its enormous body clearly attracted attention from any distance one looked at it, it couldnât continue to stay in PaiHua.
âElder ErWang, isnât it time for you to return to LiuYang? However, your task is not finished there,â said BaiYing.
