CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

Chapter 588

588 Ugly and Smelly

Bai Ying relented, the flames burning in his hands were still churning ready to attack, why did Lo Yi prevent him from saving him?

“Brother”

Lo Yi raised his hand, and slowly when Bai Ying hold his attack, the living slimy black roots loosened their grip on Lo Yi, causing Lo Yi to fall to the ground and cough gasping for air.

Bai Ying saw Lo Yi’s eyes were also looking at him as if something was on his mind. His eyes look helpless.

“Brother”

“Xiao Ying, don’t, brother beg you, please listen to me this time, help me, please, King of the Realm”

Bai Ying swallowed hard, Lo Yi’s gaze made him feel something strange, he lose his guard until suddenly something appeared from behind him and hit his head quite hard.

That before.

“Akh” and Bai Ying only felt the pain now when he woke up in a completely unfamiliar place. The dark, wet and slimy cave. Almost no light there, it’s dark and cold and damp, not to mention, it’s so smelly.

.....

“Oh, what is this smells?”

Bai Ying gets up from the wet floor, where is brother Lo Yi? What happened to him? He was the one who lured him there, that’s what he thought. He must be caught by whatever creature was wreaking havoc in the capital and nearly destroying the entire city, and if his vision is right, then all the Palace family, including His Majesty the Emperor also be in captivity. He could understand why Lo Yi’s eyes look helpless.

“Brother Lo Yi”

Bai Ying walked towards the dark puddle not far in front of him, at least there was a little hole in the cave that allowed him to see the surroundings even though it wasn’t quite clear.

Bai Ying is so stupid, why didn’t he think of it? He widened his palm lighting up his white flame that lit up the surroundings, that’s when he clearly saw something famous reflecting on the turbulent water, something blackish red. Curious about what is that the young man approached, his brow furrowed as he took a closer look, something sizable flashed and blinked like the eyes which made Bai Ying startled and backed away quickly, falling on his butt down on the cold floor.

“Akh”

Something that flickered and sparkled was indeed a pair of enormous eyes popping out of the water. Something mysterious rose to the surface and crept towards Bai Ying who swallowed his saliva whole. Impossible isn’t it? He couldn’t possibly see the creature he hated the most there, now above him the slimy saliva fell on his body which instantly damaged his clothes and dripped on his skin. For a moment his skin felt like it was stinging and the smoke from the droplets of saliva could make the skin melt, even though, it was absolutely nothing to him, still, he felt disgusted.

It was like a water frog, with a very huge size. He sounded like a frog, but so big and scary, he was, so ugly and smelly. Geez! said Bai Ying who can’t stand the smell all over his body.

Bai Ying swallowed his saliva whole. He was ready to move when the tongue of the slimy ugly creature stuck out to lick him.

“You’re so ugly, stay away from me!” Bai Ying’s eyes shone as he jerked the creature’s huge body away from him, but the small house-sized toad only took a step back and came closer, from its slimy body out the wet, living roots that wrapped around the boy’s body.

The young man pulled his body backwards, and with just a stare in his eyes he managed to burn all the living roots running down his body, they were wet and very disgusting.

“Get away from me! Where are Brother Lo Yi and others? What did you do to them?” Bai Ying exclaimed.

The whole cave lightens up with the white flames that often burn anything that comes near it, it can destroy the ugly creature very easily, until he heard the voice from the big ugly creature.

“Hahaha those weaklings, they’re nothing, even their flesh doesn’t taste good, I’ve tasted one of those smooth-bodied ones, but it tastes so bland, it’s so boring”

Bai Ying’s eyes widen, the creature has already eaten the family palace. What does he mean?

“Tell me where they are now!” Bai Ying’s voice was so loud that it made the cave shake. His internal energy created great pressure and dropped sharp stones on the ceiling of the cave which immediately fell and fell on the creature, as well as on him.

...

The sound of large horses neighing in the field where Crown Prince Luo Xiang and his soldiers built a defence there.

That big city is in great chaos, all the places that were once very beautiful and tidy are now falling apart and abandoned by their owners. The wind blows all the things that fall scattered on the street, just leaving them there unowned. Some fire is still visible in some places.

Bei Yau tied a bandage around the Crown Prince’s palm which had been hit by a fallen wooden peg as they passed the building in downtown Hei An, caught up with the carriage carrying Bai Ying and disappeared.

“Your Majesty looks like the city indeed can’t be saved anymore, we haven’t found anyone up until now. Forgive Servant for being impudent, but didn’t Your Majesty let us chase the carriage then?”

Luo Xiang takes a look at his hand. He is really worried about Bai Ying’s whereabouts, but that kid can take care of himself, now their priority is the palace family, and Bai Ying would do the same to find and save them first now. On the other hand, they have to establish their plan before heading up to the Volcano, where Chen Ming felt Bai Ying there.

“We have Prince Chen Ming who could show where Bai ing right now, that kid is more powerful than any creature in this world. I wouldn’t be too worried about him now, although he is still so innocent and thinks too rash. We should wait for the reinforcement to come and save the Palace first. Have you sent the letter to Jenderal Po and the others?” asked Luo Xiang.

Bei Yau nodded.

“Servant did, Your Majesty, the letter should arrive in no time. But Jenderal Po and others might come after a few days latest even with the fastest horse, is it, not going to be so late, Your Majesty?”

Luo Xiang clenched his hand tight. Seeing far away in front of them where the training compound outside the main city of Hei An. These creatures arise from the ground at the same time, they already wait a hundred years for this, and they won’t stop before the city goes into ashes. It would be just a matter of days before they succeed. As Lo Yi said, the creature, especially Fo Wang would be ravaging all areas, including Yue Yang and others.

As they talk.

The sound of a large number of galloping horses hooves appeared on the road in front of the field that had previously been the temporary headquarters of the dispersed Dai Yang soldiers.

“Heeeeeee!!”

The heaviest horse at the front of the group was pulled so hard back that it had to lift its two front legs when it stopped. A man in the front with golden armour bearing Dai Yang’s coat of arms immediately jumped off his horse which hadn’t even really stopped and lowered his body in front of Crown Prince Luo Xiang.

“My respects to Your Highness the Crown Prince Yue Yang! Servant came late,” said the young man with a large stature.

Luo Xiang who was standing facing the field turned his body, seeing the figure of a man who was actually quite familiar to him.

“General Yan, please stand up.”

The young man who had become the General of Hei An’s outer gate division troops came with a large number of soldiers behind him, although most of them were exhausted and injured here and there. Apparently, they had had a great battle. The young man still lowered his body to his knees below, not daring to raise his head, even his body was shaking with a deep nod of his head.

“Servant been negligent, please forgive me for not being able to protect this city, all of this, because of my incompetent” the man spoke in a trembling voice.

Luo Xiang saw the young general who had been injured with makeshift bandages on his legs and arms, as well as some of his blood-stained front clothes that were starting to dry. Don’t know what he’s been through, for sure they weren’t having fun before. He saw his men lined up behind him, some of them even had to be supported by their comrades because their injuries were quite severe. No one would be prepared to accept the attacks of the creatures that came out at the same time and attacked the city, without them being able to fight back.

“Stand up General Yan, you are not negligent, only the enemy is beyond your limits like everybody does”
