CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

Chapter 578

578 Awaken

Back on the bed. Bai Ying gasped. His eyes widened and white flames emerged from his body instantly burning all the small snakes around his body. His eyes shone brightly with a red mark on his forehead.

The people in the room retreated quickly as flames suddenly burned around the young man’s body.

“Wow, fire!”

Bai Ying’s unconscious state made not only the little snake, but the entire room nearly burns with his white flames. His blood was boiling, churning violently to burn any poison that entered his body without residue.

“Run! Everyone get out of here!” cried the iron elder running first from the room.

But the innkeeper couldn’t just give up seeing his inn destroyed, he held his servant’s hand.

“Quickly get some water, put out the fire!”

.......

“Hiaaa!” Loud hooves entered the main street of the Land Wind stopover town.

.....

Lo Yi pulled his horse reins to stop when he spotted smoke rising high on the other side of the street. Could it be Bai Ying? Without thinking, he turned his horse’s head towards where’s the crowd getting louder.

“Fire!”

Lo Yi stopped his horse not far in front of a two-story building that was on fire on one side, while everyone was running away he instead rushed over there, and without bothering to tie his horse, Lo Yi ran towards the two-story inn building.

“Xiao Ying!”

The flames rose from the bed burn around the room. The inn workers tried to extinguish the fire with water they brought from downstairs. But no matter how much the water was, the fire which roared like a monster never went out, it was the white and extremely hot scorching fire, not like the usual one.

“Boss, we have to get out of here, the whole building will burn” shouted one of the inn workers holding his boss’s hand and trying to pull him out.

The inn owner’s eyes widened when he saw the room which was almost burned down, while the young man in the middle of the bed was not touched by the fire at all.

“How could this happen? Oh, my inn.”

While he was still lamenting his fate, from the stairs appeared someone who passed them quickly and entered the room.

“Xiao Ying!” regardless of the scorching flames and intense heat, the person who was none other than Lo Yi pierced through the flames and approached Bai Ying. Trying to wake him up.

“Ying! Xiao Ying!” he shouted loudly.

Bai Ying’s eyes opened wide but there was only white light wrapped around them, his entire eyes were white. Lo Yi was at his wit’s end, while the fire started to burn his body, he finally lowered his head and kissed Bai Ying’s lips.

“Ump!”

Even though the heat of the fire continued to roar and he might be burned in it, Lo Yi couldn’t let the boy burn everything, soon all the buildings would be destroyed by him, not to mention he might also lose himself.

He kissed Bai Ying’s lips until slowly the roar of the fire around him subsided. He succeeded, the fire catch his clothes and his body and almost burn him out, but looks like he managed to relieve the terrible energy from the kid’s body.

Lo Yi raised his head. Smiling as Bai Ying’s eyes slowly changed to normal. Those eyes, a pair of beautiful eyes wistfully and blinking a number of times at him, raised his hand to pull his body up and hug Lo Yi.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty is coming.”

Lo Yi nodded. Bai Ying’s hand hold him so tight, he hugged Bai Ying and stroked his hair, kissing his temples.

“Yeah, I’m coming, Brother is coming.”

The fire around the bed slowly subsided until it disappeared completely, and the inn workers to the owner were stunned in their place. The bucket of water that was still in their hand fell and drop on his leg.

“Akh” he still had time to moan while jumping in pain, how come the terrible fire could disappear so quickly by itself? While they hardly put it off no matter how much water they poured earlier.

Lo Yi wrapped his arms around Bai Ying’s neck, tucking the other one under the young man’s waist, lifting him from the bed which the smoke still left from the fire.

Lo Yi stopped in front of the innkeeper and his workers who were still looking at him with big eyes, the innkeeper swallowed his saliva to see Lo Yi who had come to save them from destruction. But, what about the damage?

Lo Yi seemed to be able to understand the meaning of the man’s gaze, he took out a fairly large pouch from behind his waist and threw it at the man who immediately caught it.

“Woh” from its voice, the contents in the cloth pouch are clearly very heavy and a lot, the innkeeper whose face was not excited earlier turned into a cheerful smile, accepted the money.

“Hehehe, thank you, guest, please come again,” he said looking at Lo Yi’s back which was moving away towards the stairs while holding the unconscious Bai Ying in his arms.

Lo Yi carried Bai Ying out of the inn, everyone in the street looked at him with admiration, some were very curious because they didn’t follow what happened on the second floor, obviously, the fire was off as soon as the handsome young man entered.

Lo Yi looked where he left his horse earlier. As he could have guessed, his high-breed quality horse was definitely eye-catching and must have been taken by a thief. It so commonly happened in this kind of stopover town. But, it won’t be him, he just needed to whistle loudly.

His whistling sound was heard far away to the end of the road on the other side where his horse was being led by several men who from their clothes looked like street thugs, suddenly the big horse lifted its two front legs, pulled its reins and ran in the direction where the whistle came from.

“Hey stop it!” the thugs tried to grab the reins but they fall pathetically on the ground.

Heeeee!!

And Lo Yi could see his big horse emerge from the end of the street, no matter how crowded the street was, it rushed towards Lo Yi who standing in his place, people had to make way for the horse to pass.

Lo Yi approached his large horse which stopped gracefully in front of him, neighed loudly and lowered two legs in front of him. While carrying Bai Ying who fell back asleep because of exhaustion.

“Um, brother Xiang Xiang, I’m cold” Bai Ying mumbled and curled his body in Lo Yi’s arms.

Lo Yi stopped in his tracks, he should know that in the kid’s innocent mind there is only his brother Luo Xiang, what was he thinking?

.....

It rained quite heavily. Some of the small paths are almost impassable for horses because of some fallen trees and rocks blocking the path.

But Crown Prince Luo Xiang’s large horses kept trying to make their way through the muddy road the only way to the Land Wind stopover city, where Chen Ming felt Bai Ying’s energy pulse there. They must hurry, Luo Xiang thought, he had a bad feeling something had happened to Bai Ying. The pulse energy that Xiao Hong felt was also not just ordinary, it was so vivid that it made his eyes light up for a moment.

“Hey! Hiaa!!’ and they were a few kilometres away from the city gates of the stopover, at a high enough speed it wouldn’t be long before they could enter the city that served as the link between the other Dai Yang administrative cities.

..........

The rain that fell very hard made Lo Yi finally stop at an empty house outside the city limits. The sky was dark and rainy, not to mention the path that was in front of them was a desert before they get to the city of Bu Mo. It would take at least one night to arrive on a high-speed horse. His men must now be moving towards the capital where Chai Ni and the Black Water clan’s final destination is. He couldn’t delay any longer but it was impossible to continue the journey under this bad weather.

Lo Yi lowered Bai Ying’s body to the pile of dry hay he had just arranged. Luckily they were able to find the house otherwise he and Bai Ying would obviously get wet from the heavy rain and strong winds.

The shutters were blown off by the wind and made a loud noise accompanied by several sounds of fragile buildings swaying in the strong wind.

Lo Yi stood up and approached his horse which he brought in with him. Taking the bundle of cloth that he was tethered to the saddle, his cloak.

“Hey, this kid.”

Bai Ying’s body was smouldering hot, either because his uncontrollably internal energy hadn’t completely subsided or because he really had a fever. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead to his neck even though the air around them was cold enough, and the boy was also curled up in the cold.

“Ekh brother, it’s so cold”

Lo Yi took off his coat and covered Bai Ying, as he covered his chest Bai Ying’s hands hug his hands.

“Brother, hug me, it’s so cold, Ying er is so cold”
