666 The Ancestor
Of course, his answer made Chen Ming even angrier.
âDamn you! How could you not have an antidote? Quickly give it to me!â
He would have hit the man again if it wasnât for Bei Yau holding him back.
âPrince, calm down, you can kill himâ
âThen why if I kill him, he deserves to be killed!â Chen Ming shouted about kicking the man again. But this time Xiao Hong pulled Chen Mingâs waist away.
âPrince, please calm downâ
Luo Xiang hugged the unconscious Bai Ying tightly. Putting his chin on Bai Yingâs hot forehead made his face turn red, and his breathing sounded so heavy as the heat keep rising from the poisonâs effect. He then looked at young man Wang sharply.
âYou are Du Gu Ye Hua, thereâs no way you donât have an antidote, if something bad happens to Ying Ying, you will beg me to kill you,â Luo Xiang said in a sharp tone.
Young Man Wang looked at Bai Yingâs unconscious face. A face that he last remembered smiled so sweetly like the bright sun at noon when he left his village. A face he could never forget.
.....
Young Man Wang looked at his two palms, which sometime after meeting the two youths were capable of emitting a strange greenish smoke, which could kill instantly, and also, save.
âI donât have the antidote, but, I might be able to do something else to save Young Master Hua.â
The sky calmed down. The rain slowly finally subsided and left only the remnants on the roof and the trees around it. Residents back to the streets to continue their daily activities, either for selling or shopping.
The young man Luo Wang was standing in front of the balcony of his room. Looking at the surroundings even further ahead where the strange attack just now had almost ravaged the Pai Hua forest and destroyed some of the tallest trees that had grown thickly for decades in an instant. He was on his mind thinking so hard, how can the weird things keep happening lately here?
The sound of the door being opened from outside makes him turn his head. A young man come in, with a sweet face, pale white skin and curly light brown hair that waved lightly as he stepped inside. Luo Wang turned his head to see the young man come in carrying a bowl of water that looked a bit hot with smoke still billowing.
âBrother!â the young man shouted.
âBrother, what are you doing? Why did you bring the water basin? Oh, isnât it hot?â said Luo Wang limping over to Yen Hui who had already placed the basin of water on the table. He took Yen Huiâs soft hand and take a look at it.
âLet me see your hand, looks, itâs red like thisâ
Yen Hui smiled. The young man whose age might not be much different from Bai Ying had the same exact smile as Bai Yingâs, they were very similar.
âHehehe this brother is too much, Iâm fine, itâs just water, besides, the servants is busy serving the injured young man on the second floor, it seems that his injury is quite serious. Instead of waiting for a long time I just brought my own basin. Come here Brother, let me see your legâ Yen Hui said holding Luo Wangâs hand and helping him sit on the bed and lifting his injured leg onto the bed. Luo Wang groaned slightly as the young manâs soft hand touched his ankle which was bruised until it turned blue.
âAkh, slowly Brother, really unlucky, how can we meet with that strange person? Without any warning randomly attacking peopleâ
While he was grumbling, Yen Hui laughed sweetly.
âHehehe, but we are lucky, brother, those youths come on time to save everyone. Theyâre so great. Where do you think they come from? Like not someone from Wah Ye, but not from Yue Yang either. Erm, could it be from Kili? But no, their skin is white. That young man has a very sweet face, um, donât you think that he looks like me?â asked Yen Hui as he applied the medicine to the bruised on Luo Wangâs leg.
Luo Wang frowned.
âUm, who?â
âWho else, young man who protects Brother from the smoke attack, you knowâ
Luo Wang thought, actually, he did look at the young manâs face from a very close distance. At first glance, he and Yen Hui are indeed similar, in facial expressions and the look in his eyes.
Remembering very clearly when the young man suddenly appeared in front of him and pushed so hard to fall on him. He held his warm body with a sweet smell that he could never forget. The smell seemed to be left in his palms.
Yen Hui frowned looking at Luo Wang who kept looking at his palms.
âUm, did brotherâs hand hurt too?â he asked.
Luo Wang raised his head as if waking from his reverie. He shook his head quickly.
âEh, It-itâs okay Brother, just a little numb earlier. Then how about you? Brother is too busy concerned about others and didnât pay attention to you, is there any part of your body that hurts?â Luo Wang asked while checking on Yen Huiâs hands and body.
Yen Hui smiled. He shook his head.
âHehe Iâm fine brother, those people protect us very well. Iâm not hurt at all.â
âAre you sure? Here let me look at your faceâ Luo Wang said holding Yen Huiâs cheeks with his wide palms. Yen Hui chuckled at Luo Wangâs exaggerated attitude.
âHehehe brother, stop alreadyâ
...
Dusk. The sky of Pai Hua city darkened rapidly. It was seen that several residents who were going to visit the brothel were confused to see that the two-story building which was usually full of bright lanterns on each floor now looked dark and very calm. There is a big tall guard standing at the door.
âWhy Itâs not open yet?â asked a richly dressed man who had come with some of his friends. The large doorman nodded his head politely.
âPardon us, weâre closed for a few days, due to an incident this afternoon all restaurants and entertainment houses will close early. We are also repairing a room that was damaged by the incident, please understand, please come again another time,â said the tall guard, almost as high as the door.
The merchants nodded. It was not strange considering the chaos earlier this afternoon, they nodded and walked away.
âThatâs true, what happened this afternoon was very strange, why suddenly something like that happened?â
âYeah, thatâs terrible, we better buy wine and drink it at homeâ
Soldiers were seen passing by in almost every corner, not as usual.
âYeah that sounds like a great ideaâ
.....
By morning.
The atmosphere of the room is very calm. Luo Xiang sat on the edge of the bed lifting Bai Yingâs blanket over his chest. Everyone had returned to their respective rooms, leaving Luo Xiang and Bai Ying alone in the room.
Bai Ying opened his eyes when he felt the touch of Luo Xiangâs hand on his cheek. Wishfully widened his eyes seeing the Crown Princeâs face for a long time.
Your Majestyâ
Luo Xiang smiled. He caressed Bai Yingâs forehead, lifted his body up and kissed it.
âYouâre awake, how are you feeling?â asked Luo Xiang.
Bai Ying thought for a while, thinking about what should he feel after the attack, and even lowered his blanket to check his own body.
âEm, it doesnât hurt anymore Your Majesty, em, was I just dreaming huh?â he asked.
Luo Xiang smiles.
âHehe of course not, this brat, you almost lost your life, why are you throwing your body to protect a stranger like that, donât do it again next time, I wonât let youâ
Bai Ying looked at the frowning face of the Crown Prince. He smiled as he held Luo Xiangâs hand holding his hand.
âOf course, I have to do it, Your Majesty, if he is not there, how can there be Your Highness? He is Your Majestyâs biological grandfather right?â
Bai Yingâs words made Luo Xiang realize, it is true. He never thought of getting there. Well, he didnât want to care about it, in his eyes was only Bai Ying, his love.
âWell whatever it is, next time let brother do it, donât hurt yourself again like thatâ
Bai Ying pulled his lips together, he nodded slowly seeing Luo Xiangâs sharp gaze on him, quite frightening.
âYes Your Highness, please forgive meâ
Bai Ying looked around the room, there was no one else there besides the two of them. Slowly holding on to the Crown Prince, Bai Ying pulled himself up and sat up.
âUm, then, where are they now, Your Highness? His Highness Emperor Luo Wang and Prince Yen Hui, then, um, what about the black-clad youth? Your Highness didnât kill him, did you?â he asked.
âShould I kill him? You forget that we canât change history, killing that person could destroy this country before it can rise again.â
The Crown Princeâs words made Bai Ying questionable, he really didnât know that the young man who caused such a mess that almost killed him was one of the pillars of the great palace of Wah Ye.
