Chapter 437: Chapter 437

437 The Curse

With great ease, the two little guards pulled the thin old man out of the way and left him by the side while the group continued their way back.

“Young master, please! I beg you, Servant life is at stake.”

Not far from the old man’s position, suddenly from the road junction, many people show up suddenly and rushed towards them, wielding their weapons to attack.

“Attack!”

However, in just one move, Bei Yau and Ge Lu had already taken down all of the city’s soldiers with such an easy, futile attack.

“Ouch” everyone groaned in pain on the ground.

“Insolent!” cried Bei Yau who was standing tall, at that time his sword even had not even come out of its scabbard.

But the fight wasn’t over yet, from behind those people who fell on the ground emerged a young man who immediately stepped forward and knelt before Bei Yau and the others, while two to three of his men already hold the old man who even had trouble kneeling because of his old bones.

“Please forgive us, Young Master, but we are only carrying out our duties, and this old man, may lose his life for neglecting to bring all Young Masters before to our Master, please forgive us for being presumptuous.”

.....

The citizens who had been on the sidelines were running away at the sight of so many city soldiers already blocking the road, it was as if all the soldiers were there surrounding the Crown Prince and the others.

Brukk brukk brukk.

“These guys are really stubborn”

Bei Yau and Su Lang prepared to attack, it wasn’t difficult to take all of them down in a very short time, however, the Crown Prince’s gaze stopped the two of them from moving.

“Your Highness”

Luo Xiang squeezed Bai Ying’s hand in his grip, the young man couldn’t bear to see the old man who was kneeling on the ground and crying, that man did look very pitiful.

“Your Majesty, can we help them?”

Luo Xiang turned to Bai Ying.

“We can’t do anything Ying, you know that right?”

Bai Ying nodded, but he looked very disappointed.

“Heh, yes, but...”

Luo Xiang pulled the reins of the horse and was about to turn away, however, the sky in front of them suddenly darkened. The black clouds moved very fast as if being pushed by a strong wind. Residents started running away to protect themselves, it seemed like that time, whatever it was, causing chaos in Yang Chou city which prevented the group from leaving the city.

Luo Xiang turned his body towards Bei Yau, who understood the meaning of the Crown Prince’s gaze and looked up at the sky above them.

“Looks like there’s going to be a storm.”

In the end, heavy rain and thunderstorms prevented the group from continuing their journey. Luo Xiang decided to listen to the stubborn warrior chief’s request. Actually, mainly reason also because he couldn’t bear to see Bai Ying’s frowning face who would definitely keep thinking about this for some time, and, after all, they apparently needed the Governor’s help to get out of Yang Chou.

Bei Yau clenched his fist, just look at what the Governor wants from them, who does he think he is?.

Arrived at the very majesty residence of the City Governor Yang Chou.

A complex with a high gate, made of high-quality and sturdy wood, with a large courtyard in the front, and a large towering house inside, one or two large houses and the back of which still looks like another building. At first glance, this housing complex looks a little bigger than Lord Li’s house in Xi Yang city.

Luo Xiang got off his horse, stretched out his hand to help Bai Ying down.

Not long after, a voice came from the direction of the big house.

“Ohh, welcome Young Master, welcome to my hut, please forgive me for making a fuss earlier, this is all my fault, please understand my situation for doing all that” governor Cai Lo came out with his wife and servants. Clenching fists in front of Luo Xiang and Bai Ying. The big man’s eyes slightly glanced at Bai Ying who looked around the house in admiration.

“Wow, what a beautiful house”

Luo Xiang didn’t want to have much to do with that person, the less he spoke, the faster he left. Bei Yau came forward.

“Governor, let’s get straight to the point, you sent this old man to block our way, and almost got him killed, and also, you sent all these useless men of yours to attack us, are you tired of living?” Bei Yau said looking at the man with big glaring eyes.

The governor stuttered, the man lowered his head deeply and his body to his knees, his wife and servants all lowering their bodies as well.

“Please forgive this Servant, Young master, I have no other choice, Servant was forced to do it, please understand my current situation”

“That’s right Young master, only Young Master can help our Rong’er,” said the stocky woman behind Cai Lo, the madam.

Luo Xiang looked at Bei Yau.

“Bei”

Bei Yau who crossed his arms in front of his chest still didn’t like the barrel-shaped man so much, he just averted his eyes.

“Straight to the problem, we don’t have much time to waste here,” said Bei Yau.

The big figured governor was just about to explain when they heard a loud scream from outside the living room, where their daughter’s room was located.

“Akkhhh”

The man’s eyes went wide, ordering his men to see what was happening. The Governor’s wife couldn’t help but cry, her body was limp and had to be supported by the maids.

“Hiks, my Rong Er”

“Madam please calm down”

Not long after, Luo Xiang and the others were already standing in front of the governor’s daughter’s room, where several maids had just taken out one of the maids who was already lifeless with blackened bodies, like all corpses killed by the Black serpent.

While the girl was lying on the bed, her whole body was black, her eyes glowed yellow, and a scaly face. This eighteen-year-old young girl had so far made several of her personal maids seriously injured and even killed by her claws, her long black nails contained a poison that could kill people in a single stroke.

The governor and his wife had to tie their daughter to the bed and not let her go anywhere, of course, under such conditions, if she went out everyone would be harmed, or the girl would be killed because everyone would be after her.

“Arrrgggh! Arghhh!!’ she only growled, roared and hissed like a snake, her face from her forehead to her cheeks covered with some kind of shiny black scales like snakeskin, the little girl might have been possessed by a snake spirit.

Bai Ying held onto the back clothes of the Crown Prince tightly.

“Your Majesty, what, happened to her?”

Just like what Luo Xiang thought before, that business might be related to the black snake, and for Bai Ying’s curiosity, he came there. Luo Xiang took Bai Ying’s hand.

“Come on Ying, let’s this go, this is not something we can handle with”

Bai Ying just followed when Luo Xiang pulled him, although occasionally his head still keep turned at the girl’s room.

The governor who saw Luo Xiang immediately blocked his path and lowered his body to his knees.

“Young master, young master help us, I beg you, Rong ‘er is a very cheerful and sweet kid, she’s innocent, and cursed by the black snake because of me, Its Servant who should have died in place of my daughter, please help us,” said the big man.

Bai Ying held Luo Xiang’s arm, which tightened his grip. The young man looked at Cai Lo for a moment then averted his gaze.

“Who told you that we could heal your daughter? Governor, you must have understood what the black snake’s curse meant, right? Even Gods can’t help you now” Luo Xiang said.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Madame Governor immediately came out of the room and again lowered her body to her knees in front of Luo Xiang and Bai Ying.

“I beg you, young master, only Young Master can save our daughter, according to the shaman, there is a beautiful-good fairy looking Young Master who can save our Rong ‘er, the young master’s travelled from south to north, we will do anything, pay any amount, bug Servant beg you please help Rong er ”

Luo Xiang tightened his grip on Bai Ying, a pretty fairy looking young man, what do they mean by Bai Ying? But who was such a great person who knew about their arrival, especially about Bai Ying? He looked at the young man who was also frowning in confusion.

Bei Yau stood in front of the Governor and his wife, blocking him from getting closer to the Crown Prince and Bai Ying.

“Impudent! Our young master doesn’t need your money, you guys are really being presumptuous, if not for our young master’s generosity, we would have never entered your house, how brazen you are!” cried Bei Yau in an annoyed tone, those ignorant people, who do they think they are?
