Chapter 494

494 Overnight

Toward night. Not long after, the group, which attracted the attention of local residents because of its size and luxury, left Cui An City and returned to Su Chou City to head to Sui Lian and then Xin Hua Palace.

It was pouring rain as big and sturdy horses walked slowly down a path big enough for Xin Hua palace’s large horse carriage to pass.

Luo Xiang sat in the carriage accompanying Bai Ying. He couldn’t stop smiling when he saw Bai Ying who was finally exhausted and fell asleep quite soundly in his place, even the slightly swaying carriage didn’t bother him at all.

Luo Xiang smiled, he raised his hand to brush Bai Ying’s front hair that fell over his cheek, lowering his head to kiss his forehead. He wanted to continue to hug the child until he was satisfied because of his very deep longing, but, he had to be able to restrain himself, however in the eyes of the young man he was none other than the arrogant and rude Crown Prince whom he knew when he entered the palace, he could not make his good worsen in front of him, at least he should be able to win his heart again, slowly.

Luo Xiang lifted Bai Ying’s palm and looked at it for a long time until he picked it up and kissed it gently.

“Heh, my Ying Ying”

......

The rain was getting heavier so the group decided to stop at the local inn for shelter, since the sky was already dark, everyone decided to rest for one night in a rather large inn located right outside the borders of Su Chou city. As seen from the number of horses tied to the stables next to the inn, apparently there were other groups that preceded them.

A small servant greeted Bei Yau’s arrival.

.....

“Welcome, Young master, uh, my I know room for how many people?” asked the little man even though he had already seen how many groups were following Bei Yau, not to mention the Crown Prince, Chen Ming, Bai Ying and Xiao Hong who later appeared behind him.

Bei Yau looked around him. The three-story inn seemed to be almost full of people sitting downstairs enjoying their meal, some people who were now looking at Bei Yau and others with sharp eyes. All of them were wearing clothes of the same colour, crimson with black robes. From the looks of it, they were clearly not commoners let alone merchants, all of whom were probably part of a martial world clan.

Lo Yi approached and was already standing beside Bei Yau.

“They are members of the Scorpion clan from the West, recently approached the Pai Hua plains to hunt for treasure, I heard this is a group of officials who carry the mystical creatures of the Scorpion clan everywhere” whispered Lo Yi.

Bei Yau looked at the young servant who was still waiting for his answer, he took out a bag of money which was quite heavy and handed it to the servant who almost dropped it because it was too heavy.

“Brukk”

“We rent the second and third floors, all rooms without exception, is this enough?” asked Bei Yau.

The young maid stuttered, he turned to his boss who was soon approaching when he saw Bei Yau and the others. The stocky man smiled broadly as he took the money bag from his little servant’s hand.

“Eh hehehe, of course, young master, this, is more than enough, please young master, our server will send you to your room”

But the little servant stuttered and looked at his boss with a restless face.

“But boss, there are still guests on the second and third floors, some of their friends” whispered the young waiter while glancing at the people who were already sitting enjoying their dinner on the ground floor.

The boss still with a wide smiling face whispered to his little maid.

“Hehe you can give them money to change rooms and move them downstairs right, give them free food, let’s quickly clean all the room” whispered the innkeeper man.

The Crown Prince walked in with Bai Ying behind him.

“Your Majesty”

Luo Xiang looked at some men who stand in front of him, then at the people who seemed to be on guard when they saw his face, they were definitely not friendly people, but Luo Xiang didn’t care. He saw Bei Yau beside him.

“Bei, don’t let anyone disturb us tonight,” said Luo Xiang.

Bei Yau nodded.

“Ready Your Majesty”

Luo Xiang pulled Bai Ying’s hand followed by Chen Ming and Xiao Hong following the maids up to the second floor, while Bei Yau turned to his men behind them to stay alert.

Bai Ying’s curiosity look at the group and whispered to Crown Prince.

“Your Majesty, is that right they taking the best with them? Ying want to see it”

Luo Xiang grasp Bai Ying’s hand tightly as they moved to the stairs.

“Don’t be naughty Ying, that’s not something you could take a look at”

“Your Majesty”

....

The atmosphere in the room is very calm.

Since entering Yan and the other maids have cleaned the bedroom and put some burnt essence perfume in every corner of the room to make it smell good. Yan had just burned the scented wood, taken it and place it at the centre of the table in front of the bed, and replaced the bed cover and blanket with the one they had brought from the palace.

As the Crown Prince and Viceroy, of course, their master couldn’t just sleep anywhere, let alone in this shabby old humid room.

Yan turned her head when he saw Luo Xiang and Bai Ying who slowly entered the room after the two of them finished cleaning up. The maids lowered their bodies and move backwards out of the room, leaving Yan who stand on guard near the door.

The Crown Prince didn’t let go of Bai Ying’s hold even a bit until the two of them arrived on the bed.

“Does your leg still hurt? Yan said the market thugs had pushed you and sprained your leg, lie down, let me see,” said Luo Xiang lowering his body and lifting Bai Ying’s legs to the bed.

Bai Ying stuttered, his hand holding Luo Xiang’s hand as the young man lifted his clothes and touched his feet.

“Eh Y-Your Majesty, my foot is getting better, it doesn’t hurt anymore, eh, sister Yan has helped me to rub it.”

But Luo Xiang didn’t care, he took off Bai Ying’s shoes and foot coverings one by one.

“Heh, it’s been a long time since I massaged your feet, back then, Ying really enjoyed my massage right?” Bai Ying got shivered a bit when he felt the cold oil on his skin, the Crown Prince massaging his feet? He did remember it vaguely, it all felt very familiar, he even get used to the touch of that big and strong hand. Bai Ying tried to remember it, strange, it seemed like he had forgotten a lot, but, what? What had he forgotten?

Luo Xiang looked at Bai Ying who looked confused. He stepped forward and lowered the young man’s two shoulders onto the bed.

“Hey sweetie, what are you thinking?” asked Luo Xiang in a soft voice with a face very close to Bai Ying.

Bai Ying gulped down his saliva, the Crown Prince’s huge body clearly blocked his way of escaping, how could he resist? As long as the man didn’t do anything bad he would try to be patient, after all, he was the Crown Prince, did he have the right to refuse him?

“Eh Your Majesty, what, are we going to stay here overnight? The place is a bit scary.” Bai Ying said.

Luo Xiang straightened his body, and smiled as he realized Bai Ying was trying to divert the conversation, just like he always did when he avoided him, he was used to it, Bai Ying had also forgotten about him, and now, he’s forgotten about him again, how hard is it to get his memory back? No, he might make a new memory for him, something that would make Bai Ying’s love back to him.

Luo Xiang couldn’t stop his smile while massaging Bai Ying’s slender ankles, his feet were smooth and pure white like a girl’s, soft and smooth. He lowered his feet to kiss Bai Ying’s palm which he loved so much, his entire life, only that young man could make him lower his head to his feet, he really is a lame Crown Prince, but, his love for the boy has reached to the point he would do anything for him, anything. But, why didn’t the boy protest? Was he enjoying his touch?

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Luo Xiang turned his head and saw Bai Ying who was already sound asleep with one hand raised beside his head. Her face looks so adorable.

“Hehe, this kid” Luo Xiang shifted his body, lifted his two legs and climbed onto the bed, lying beside Bai Ying, lying on his side with one hand supporting his head looking at Bai Ying’s sleeping face to his heart’s content.

“Hey, this sweet boy, why is your face getting more and more attractive by each day?” He raised his hand to brush Bai Ying’s hair and tucked it behind his ear.

He couldn’t stop smiling, a beautiful feeling full of flowers bloomed in his heart, in his eyes there was only the beautiful thing about Bai Ying’s face that made his chest tremble so hard, this was fun, trying to make the boy fall in love with him again while his love for the child it’s getting stronger many times over, how is it? What should he do when he can’t help but look at Bai Ying’s face, why is this kid making his life difficult?

“Hey naughty boy”
