Chapter 42

Chapter 42: Embrace You Tightly

“Heh, Your Highness, you think you deserve to have Xiao Ying? He had no choice when they forced him to marry you for the first time, why don’t you take HuaBaiYen’s body to your palace and let Xiao Ying go, he is HuaBaiYing, not a girl who supposed to be your concubine, Can’t you just let him go?”

LuoXiang gritted his teeth,

“YingYing is mine, stop your nonsense and go away, but wait, you can’t go yet.”

After talking like that Luo Xiang stomped his foot and pushed the young man towards the waterfall away from the hut.

“Bei protect YingYing!” exclaimed Luo Xiang.

Best

BeiYau stood behind BaiYing who’s still limp in guard hands behind him, he had no choice but to follow when BeiYau helped him away towards the trees.

“Your Majesty”

.....

Meanwhile, the battle grew fiercer.

LuoXiang spun his body and jumped on the rock after pushing YiFang’s body away towards the water, on the other hand, YiFang brought his sword back together and channeled all the internal strength into his two wrists using two hands swinging his sword. He advanced with a full strike raising his sword high above his head and cutting through the air in front of Luo Xiang’s face, but the Crown Prince who charged forward averted his head and body to the side pushing his legs back at the young man, both of whom landed on the large rock above the waterfall and jumped. Towards the water, LuoXiang’s spectacular lightning skill made it seem as if he could step on the water and push his body to attack YiFang who was jumping away, the Crown Prince’s attack speed was no match for anyone else, YiFang was about to turn his head to look at LuoXiang who was behind him until he missed LuoXiang who was suddenly already in front of him.

“Haiitt” LuoXiang gathered the energy on his palm and hit YiFang’s chest hard.

“Thump!”

He pushed the young man’s body until he’s thrown far and hit the large tree before he fell to the ground beside the waterfall.

“Phuakk!” blood spurted from his mouth,

YiFang missed it, his eyes still full of rage as he was about to stand up again fast but in an instant, Luo Xiang’s sharp sword tip already pointed towards his neck.

YiFang swallowed hard, damn it, he could be beaten by that guy so easily.

His eyes stared at LuoXiang as if he wanted to kill him, he could not be defeated, it’s impossible! he was a YiFang who would not be defeated by a spoiled Crown Prince, he could not lose, he would rather die than lose like this, while LuoXiang’s sword was still on YiFang’s neck the man grabbed His sword was about to strike the Crown Prince again with the risk that he could lose his head and he died silly, he’s ready for that for any reason, however, someone’s voice stopped him.

“Brother!”

YiFang stuttered, the voice from BaiYing who was standing by across the river.

BeiYau quickly darted over and with some of his trained men to replace the Crown Prince held YiFang on the ground, at that time YiFang had no other choice but to surrender, it looks like he won’t be able to fight again anyway, he could not die now, at least, for the sake of BaiYing who was now looking at him with disappointed eyes.

“Little Ying”

LuoXiang ran over to BaiYing and grabbed onto BaiYing’s body, which was still in a daze because the medicinal effect YiFang had given him had not worn off.

BaiYing’s beautiful eyes were swollen and turned red from crying, seeing that the anger in YiFang’s chest subsided, what had he done?

“Brukk” his sword fell from his hand, he dropped his body to his knees while covering his face.

“Oh, what have I done?”

He did not see the smile and laughter on the face of Ying’s younger brother who he really liked so much. The smile and laughter that was clearly visible in his big and beautiful eyes, now, all he can see is a very deep sadness and tears that haven’t stopped yet, it turned out that YiFang’s heart ached to see BaiYing’s face now rather than at his own loss.

“YingYing”

LuoXiang embraced BaiYing who’s crying body until his body trembled, he couldn’t stop his crying especially when LuoXiang’s warm body embraced him, stroked his back, and kissed his forehead.

“Heh YingYing, just cry, cry to your heart’s content”

“Huks Your Majesty” no words could come out, he just needed Luo Xiang’s hug to let him cry to his heart’s content because the pain that was still stabbing in his chest never subsided.

LuoXiang stroked BaiYing’s head gently and kissed his forehead, he still glanced at BeiYau, then at YiFang who had his two hands tied behind him.

“Take him back to the palace”

BeiYau lowered his head.

“Yes, Your Highness”

.....

The wind was blowing a little hard.

The sky since this afternoon was rather cloudy with ash-colored clouds hanging overhead gathering in large numbers in an instant.

Huge horses belonging to the palace and their bodyguards had lined up in front of the Hua family’s burial area, their tails fluttering while snorting, enjoying their lunch on the plains with luscious green grass and growing in abundance in the lush valley.

The scent of burning incense wafted as the wind passed it, banknotes still flying upward when they were blown hard enough.

BaiYing knelt in front of his parent’s graves, he could not cry anymore, now, he could only keep quiet looking at the stone tombs with a majestic site, the soil still wet and red behind it, the graves of his two parents, as well as the many residents of the Hua family behind them, all of them, are his family, family, who left him behind.

LuoXiang was standing right behind him, trying to help BaiYing who’s been on his knees all day to stand up.

“YingYing, we get back to the palace, okay?”

LuoXiang said gently to BaiYing, who was already standing even though his knees were weak and tingling from kneeling for too long, he held LuoXiang’s hand tightly because he almost fell from his limp legs, stared at the man’s face for a long time, and lowered his head.

BaiYing cried again when he learned that his sister’s grave was also beside his parents, just like what YiFang said, if he had also killed his sister who he thought had run away from home a long time ago.

LuoXiang offered his back to the limp BaiYing, but, as BaiYing pushed him softly, he just sat on the rock not far from the front of the tomb.

“Servant, can’t go back to the palace, everyone will know that I, I’m not my sister HuaBaiYen,” BaiYing’s voice was low.

The Crown Prince looked at BaiYing closely, he lowered his body to sit beside BaiYing, he took a deep breath.

“Then, why if everyone finds out? YingYing, afraid that the Queen Mother will take your head?”

LuoXiang’s question did not make BaiYing flinch, it was strange, he would have been very afraid of it in the past, just hearing it could make his knees weak, but now, he thought that maybe he would rather die than live alone in this world, he was alone, who would scold him one day?

Who will give him beautiful clothes, soap, and a cleanser for his hair? Oh, then who will take care of the pet that is still in the cottage behind his house?

Why don’t those people leave anyone alive? Why do they have to kill everyone?

BaiYing’s tears were about to fall to his cheeks again when suddenly Luo Xiang’s hand rubbed it softly, causing BaiYing to stop crying, BaiYing just raises his head to look at Crown prince with his two beautiful big eyes, and the Crown Prince who unconsciously drawn closer, so close to him as he can hear the sound of his breathing clearly.
