CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

676 SwordSmith

Luo Xiang who wore his stiff face at first holding back a laugh found Bai Ying’s cute face as he pursed his mouth in thought.

“Erm, looks like it’s impossible he came from the Priestess Clan”

“So, who is he? What is he going to do with my blood? Is it some kind of demon, or, hem, it’s impossible for dragon Er Wang as well, at this time it’s still a giant serpent.”

“He needs your blood to forge the Divine Sword”

Bai Ying widened his eyes hearing Luo Xiang’s answer as if he didn’t believe it.

“What? Divine sword?

“Yeah, Divine Sword” replied Bu Sang.

He and the others, Bei Yau, Shin Ya, Elder Yi, Chen Ming and Xiao Hong sat in the living room while Sheng Li who was already looking calm sat in the centre. If not for Elder Yi, Bei Yau and Xiao Hong had already tied up the young man who now looked confused as all eyes looked on as if to finish him off.

“What does my brother’s blood have to do with forging the divine sword? Who told you something as ridiculous as this?” Chen Ming exclaimed looking at Sheng Li sharply.

.....

Sheng Li saw everyone in the room looking at him. The man admitted that he really wanted to take Bai Ying’s blood, but he obviously didn’t remember what happened this morning until he woke up earlier with bruises all over his body.

“It is said that the blood from a good-looking young man who has a Dragon Pearl shard in his body can make the sword so strong that it can even kill a dragon. I did not believe it until I saw that young man yesterday. It turns out that what the Queen said was true, how could she know this kind of thing?”

Chen Ming can’t stand it, it was obvious that the man didn’t regret what he had done even though he had made his little brother almost lose his life.

“Impudent, this person can speak casually like that after injuring Bai Ying, how dare you lay your hand on him, don’t call me Chen Ming if I’m not cut off your hand for so daring to touch him!” shouted Chen Ming who was about to get up from his seat to punch that shameless man. But Elder Yi stood in his way.

“Pardon me, Your Highness Prince, but you can’t cut off his hand,” said the man.

Chen Ming looked at Elder Yi sharply. Remembered what the man said about who Sheng Li really was.

“He is my Great Master, Great Master Sheng Li who forged the Divine Sword that managed to split the Dragon Pearl into four. Even though it took him several years to do so, he managed to do what was nearly impossible for even God. Caressing the Hundred-year-old, even thousands-year-old Dragon Pearl that fell from the sky.”

“That is impossible, there is no weapon in this world that can split the Dragon Pearl” Chen Ming exclaimed.

Back in the guest room.

Sheng Li saw Chen Ming and others, he lowered his head to pay respect to Chen Ming.

“Please forgive me, Young Master, I didn’t mean to do it, however, small sacrifices are necessary for big results. At first, I did not want to believe it. But I did see the dragon’s pearl shards shining from the young man’s body. Young master, you think, if I know about this, Empress Yu Yan will surely know other big things. Whoever that child is, he is definitely not an ordinary person, you must be prepared to face the Queen who may send someone to take him at any time.”

The words of the young man with a proud face made Chen Ming even more furious.

“This person is really impudent! Really have to teach him a lesson, a small sacrifice? How dare you talk like that? Who do you think you are? Elder Yi, please step aside! Fine, I won’t break his arms, let me just break one of his legs. the swordsmith with a limp, that shouldn’t be a big problem for him, right?” Chen Ming exclaimed.

From the door, Luo Xiang walked in.

“Then, according to this young master, do you have another plan to be able to beat that Queen?” he asked.

Bei Yau lowered his head to see Luo Xiang approaching. He immediately prepared a chair for the Crown Prince to sit not far from Chen Ming.

“Your Majesty”

Luo Xiang glanced at Chen Ming whose face was red from suppressing his temper, he shook his head.

“Prince Chen, Ying Ying is still weak and resting in the room, please help me look after him”

Chen Ming get up from his chair and looked at Luo Xiang sharply. He waved his wide sleeves and put his hands behind his waist.

“No need to remind me, Xiao Ying is my little brother, come on Xiao Hong, let’s get out of here before I explode with anger.” Chen Ming said moving towards the door.

Everyone looked at Chen Ming who came out of the room.

Luo Xiang turned towards Sheng Li, looking at him as if waiting for the answer to his question earlier.

Sheng Li stroked his chin.

“Servant is a sword smith, and only the greatest sword in the world that can fight the Queen’s power, if you are willing to help each other, that sword can be a saviour for the young man too. You don’t think that The Queen will stop her plan on your friend here? She is so cunning, nobody knows what she has in mind”

Sheng Li’s words implied that Bai Ying might have to give his blood so that man could make the most formidable sword. Luo Xiang clenched his fists.

“Damn, how did that Queen know about my Ying Ying?”

....

The wind carried dry dust flying between the hooves of the tall horses that lined up to block the street. The grunts of the horses that looked hot-blooded after walking and even running with their big and sturdy bodies sounded fierce, neatly lined up with the same size on the path entering the part of the city where Wah Ye’s palace was located, where Yen Hui and Luo Wang along with Song Ma Yi and Wang Ye Lu stop.

So many troops definitely came from the palace. Wearing gold combat armour and a bright blue flag. It wasn’t even the main road that the palace troops will pass through it but why are they appearing in huge size in front of them now?

Yen Hui recognized the flag. Let’s hope he wasn’t wrong, that whoever the head of the troops, of which there were hundreds blocking their way towards the Palace, had not come to capture them. Even though this time they had a hostage, Prince Fang Li who was harnessed to the horse behind Song Ma Yi, they were far behind in numbers to those people.

Don’t know what Luo Wang was thinking, taking Yen Hui to the palace without a solid plan and waiting for Luo Xiang and the others. At least, their original plan was to exchange Fang Li with King Yen Huo who was rumoured to be in a critical condition due to his illness. After all, Yen Huo was Yen Hui’s father, that man was now a prisoner in his own palace. And Yen Hui regretted running away without taking his father along.

Armed with a letter from Shin Ya, Luo Wang was sure to get support from the Shamans, whose supporters numbered in the hundreds to thousands within the palace. At least the Queen will think smart and release the King for them, so hopefully, it is.

Luo Wang and Yen Hui widened their eyes in alert, Wang Ye Hua prepared to attack if the troops were to attack him.

How did Wang Ye Hua and Song Ma Yi end up following Luo Wang and Yen Hui? Even though the two of them had sworn that they would follow Luo Xiang and Bai Ying anywhere. Especially since Bai Ying was the source of the strength of the two.

“Young Master Song”

Bai Ying approached the two as they rested under a tree.

“Young Master Hua” Song stood up to welcome Bai Ying.

Bai Ying smiled. Didn’t expect that the two men in front of him were the two most important people who would make this country victorious. He couldn’t believe that he could have such an honour to know them before both of them became so great under his grandfather’s leadership someday.

“Um, we, maybe have to go back to our country, sooner or later. And, at that time, we might never be able to meet again”

Bai Ying’s words made the two young men look at him for a long time. The two then looked at each other and saw Bai Ying.

“Young Master means we can’t meet again, uh, Yue Yang is not that far away, we are willing to follow wherever young master goes, after all, young master is our benefactor. I don’t know about Young Master Song, however, I really want to go with you anywhere, my family is gone now, and there is only Young Master who I know now,” said Wang Ye Hua.

“That’s right Young Master, that’s what I thought too” continued Song Ma Yi.
