581 None of our Concern
âYou canât let go of your hands after all. One hundred years ago, all of the future leaders of the country, Wah Ye and Yue Yang participated in suppressing the formidable power of Fo Wang. Even His Majesty King Wah Ye was one of the people who locked the creature into a cave and turned it into stone. He poured his blood and with the power of Earth that the King who was then still a young prince had he threw the creature to sleep for eternity. This time, do you think it is no coincidence that Xiao Ying was brought here by my sister?â
Luo Xiang turned his head, looking at the young man sharply.
âYour sister kidnapped Ying Ying so she can use him to control the power of the Lightning Flame which is too strong for her body, I donât know what made her change her mind, but thatâs none of my concern, everything that happens in this country is yoursâ
âIt wonât be just my concern alone anymore. when the Fire Lord rose from his slumber. All countries, not just Dai Yang, the closest Yue Yang and Wah Ye would be destroyed by it. What do you think that brought all the nations together in the past paralyzed him?â
âYou still dare to ask for help after what you and your sister did to Ying Ying, what a shame, and you almost took his dignity away. So far, only I can touch himâ said Luo Xiang indignantly.
Lo Yi swallowed hard, he could die silly with one punch from that man, but nothing could stop him from speaking at that moment. But Luo Xiang didnât seem to care about it any further. Crown Prince Luo Xiang waved his hand putting it behind his waist and headed back into the house. Leaving Lo Yi still watching him, he knew that if he didnât leave soon, he could kill the young man with a single blow, and that would definitely make Bai Ying sad and furious with him.
âBei, tell everyone to get ready, we will leave when Ying Ying wakes upâ
Bei Yau nodded.
âReady Your Majestyâ
.....
Bei Yau still stood there for a moment looking at Lo Yi who was still standing firmly, looking at Luo Xiangâs shoulder that was moving away, he couldnât do much more to persuade him. He lowered his head in front of Lo Yi before excusing himself to retreat.
âPlease excuse me, Your Majestyâ
........
Bai Ying opened his eyes. Raised his hand to ward off the sunlight that hit his eyes.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYouâre awake.â
Luo Xiangâs voice. He was sitting beside Bai Ying who was sleeping on a clean cloth on a haystack. At least even if it was dirty the empty house could be a warm enough place for everyone to take shelter there all night.
Bai Ying shifted his body. The Crown Princeâs hand was still tightly holding his, and he turned his body and lifted his other hand to hug Luo Xiangâs waist, last night he didnât dream.
âYour Highnessâ
Luo Xiang smiled. He stroked Bai Yingâs hair and kissed his forehead.
âAre you feeling better? You had a high fever last night.
Bai Ying closed his eyes and rested his head on the Crown Princeâs lap. He nodded.â
âYes, Iâm fine, Your Majesty, last night, I didnât dream, if Your Majesty really came after me, thank you, Your Majesty, for coming.â
Luo Xiang caressed Bai Yingâs face and forehead, lowering his head and pressing their foreheads together.
âHeh, Brother is almost late, please forgive me, we got a lot of obstacles on the way here, lucky Chen Mingâs tracking coin can find you wherever you are, otherwise I might lose youâ
Bai Ying saw Luo Xiang who looked at him for a long time. He lifted his head slightly and touch-kissed the Crown Princeâs lips.
âChupâ a short sweet kiss.
Luo Xiang widened his eyes, he didnât expect Bai Ying to do it. The young man only smiled at the Crown Prince who looks very surprised.
âEh, Ying Yingâ
Bai Ying raised his two hands and hugged the Crown Princeâs neck, lifting his body and hugging the big manâs whole body.
âYour Majesty, forgive Ying for forgetting Your Majesty, how could I forget our loveâ
Luo Xiang almost couldnât believe what he heard, he held Bai Yingâs slender waist holding his hanging body and hugging him.
âYing Yingâ he smiled, not wanting to think about anything other than hugging Bai Ying tightly, just hugging him. His big hands grabs the kidâs thin body completely, it was unimaginable how happy he was at that moment until finally the tears that had been stuck in his eyes fell to his cheek. He had almost never cried before, but as for Bai Ying, he didnât know how many times he had it.
âYing Yingâ
The journey resumed. But they returned to the previous path they had taken to get out of Dai Yang.
On the way before parting ways with Lo Yi who was about to head to the capital, the group stopped for a moment to buy a horse carriage that Bai Ying would use to return to Yue Yang.
Before long, the group finally continued their journey. The wooden carriage although not luxurious but spacious enough for Bai Ying and the Crown Prince to sit alone inside.
Inside the carriage that was constantly swaying, Luo Xiang who was sitting behind Bai Ying tried to brush Bai Yingâs long hair and tie it up.
âDonât move much Ying, I try to tie your hair, why is it so long and thick like thisâ
âI donât move much Your Majesty, but the carriage just keeps swaying, after all the road is a bit bumpy, why didnât Your Majesty comb my hair in the hut earlier ?â
âWe donât have much time so we can do this during our trip right?â
Bai Ying tried to turn his body to look at the Crown Prince, but Luo Xiangâs hands kept turning his shoulders.
âEm, Your Majesty, arenât we going to help Dai Yang to face whatever calamity is about to happen? I had a very bad dream. I saw a very large creature, as big as a mountain, emitting fire and lava that destroyed palaces and residentsâ settlements, a lot of people died.â
Luo Xiang almost stopped his hand movements, but he didnât.
âThatâs none of our business Ying, whatever beasts it is, we canât interfere in other peopleâs country matters if they donât ask for it.â
âBut Your Majesty, brother Lo Yi, looks like he really needs help. He looks desperate, just like Ying, Brother Lo Yi must be more or less what will happen if any creature like in my dream, or like what brother Lo Yi has known all along will completely destroys Dai Yang. Then, do Your Majesty have the heart to see so many innocent people become victims because we donât want to interfere?â
Luo Xiang finally stopped his hand, just then Bai Ying turned around to look at him.
âYour Majesty, I know Your Majesty very well, I believe Your Majesty is not someone who can just sit back and watch the disaster in front of us while we do nothing. At least, weâll see if they really need help or not, if not, letâs just say we provide moral support to Brother Lo Yi,â said Bai Ying touching Luo Xiangâs hand.
Luo Xiang looked away sharply.
âWhy do we need to give him moral support? Does that rotten Crown Prince Dai Yang still deserve our support? I almost cut off his hand for daring to touch you.â
Bai Ying frowned at the Crown Princeâs incoherent words.
âWhat does Your Majesty mean?â
Luo Xiang saw Bai Yingâs curious eyes watching him waiting for his answer, he shook his head quickly.
âEh, I mean, that man canât be trusted, he could have tricked us to go there, he and his sister might have cooperated.â
Bai Ying pulled his lips, he shook his head.
âI donât think so, Your Majesty, I know quite a lot about how Brother Lo Yi really is, even though we just meet but Iâm pretty sure, that Brother Lo Yi has a good and sincere nature, he will not let his citizens in danger let alone become victimsâ
Previously in the middle of the market the stopover city Land Wind.
Bai Ying was sitting on the horse while the Crown Prince conferred with Bei Yau to choose the horse carriage. The youth looked at Lo Yi who for a moment stopped looking at him.
âBrother Lo Yiâ
Not long after, the two of them were sitting near the small river on the side of the street market.
âPlease forgive brother for being disrespectful to you, heh, I just donât want you to hurt yourself, what a fool I am, how can you get hurt, brotherâs strength can resist any poison, whatever it isâ
Bai Ying and Lo Yi sat on the top of the river divider that divides the middle of the city which is connected by a small bridge that is enough for one medium-sized train to pass. Bai Ying hadnât even had time to tie his hair properly and just gathered it together and tied it up with a makeshift straw.
The wind was blowing hard enough to caress his hair far away. Lo Yi swallowed hard, how can Bai Yingâs face under any circumstances make him stunned and bewitched, his chest feels tight and his stomach is hot, even though he knows he shouldnât feel that way for him, but how can he hold himself back?
