Chapter 574



Bei Yau lowered his head in front of the Crown Prince who was standing in the centre of the room wearing his battle suit.

“Your Majesty, Chief Soldier Bu has ordered all his men to close off the exit, but as Prince Chen said that Princess Chai Ni’s entourage had brought the Viceroy out through the eastern gate. We’ve already sent a letter to the head of the army at the east gate asking about the Princess’s arrival at their gate, but, there’s a high possibility as to what we can expect Your Majesty, there’s a chance that the General on duty has fallen into Princess Chai Ni’s charm spell by now. So he won’t hesitate to let the group pass by the gate. Until now there is no news about the Princess’s arrival.”

Luo Xiang was assisted by the little soldier to wear his battle armour, with the chest, cuffs and legs made of gold plates, and turned his body to face his personal guard. A long, bright red velvet robe with the great crest of the great Yue Yang country fluttered as he turned his body towards Bei Yau.

“That princess possesses very great heirlooms. You have to remember Bei, never look the Princess in the eye when you are close to her, she could use that spell to lure you in.”

Chen Ming and Xiao Hong entered from outside.

“We shouldn’t be worried about that, Your Highness the Crown Prince,” said Chen Ming who entered with his hands behind his waist. He take a glimpse of Bei Yau as he passed and sat on a chair not far from the window.

“That stupid boy, what else is he waiting for, he can take the heirloom from the princess and cripple her very easily, what’s so difficult about facing those stupid people with his magnificent strength,” said Chen Ming.

Luo Xiang waved his hand at the little soldier who was helping him put on his robe.

.....

The two young soldiers lowered their heads, retreated towards the door and exited.

Luo Xiang tightened his cuffs and approached Chen Ming.

“Ying Ying has his reasons, after all, he must not have found the right time.”

Luo Xiang looked at Chen Ming then.

“Then what do you know about Princess Chai Ni’s Enchanting Plaque? Do you guys still have that thing in Xin Hua palace?” he asked.

Chen Ming grabbed the teacup on the table, blew out the hot steam and inhaled it slowly. It’s not a very good quality tea, but it’s drinkable, considering that the border area is far from the resident’s market.

“The palace never uses enchantment plaques to lure its enemies. That thing actually belonged to the Priestess clan they had created themselves. As I recall, after reading so many of Wah Ye’s sacred heirloom list books, the plaque is not included in one of the state’s heirlooms. However, I’ve heard from Great Grandmother about a small object resembling a hair ornament that is nothing but a charm plaque. It was crafted from thousands of years of magic essence with the physical form of very strong and high-quality sandalwood. I don’t really understand what it means, whether it’s the same thing or not, but if that’s the thing, according to Grandma, the use of things like that can’t just be used as the user wishes. Using magic essence for thousands of years, meaning it was a magic that could fade over time, depending on how much it was used, and every time it does, the user would feel their energy being drained out by the relic as well. This means, Princess Chai Ni, with her mortal body and not having much inner strength will feel a huge impact from using that thing too much”

“You mean, Princess Chai Ni might get weaker from overusing that relic?” Luo Xiang asked.

Chen Ming nodded.

“That is very correct. She might have planned it, to take little brother and use him to ignite the Lightning Flame to burn down Dai Yang’s palace and its surroundings, but, that girl was careless, who did she think she was? Had she never heard of the legend of the Viceroy from Wah Ye? She might make the wrong choice by taking the tiger cub on her trip, I feel sorry for her.”

Luo Xiang tightened his cuffs, his eyes looking far ahead.

“Still, Prince Chen, no matter how good Ying Ying is, he is still inexperienced in this kind of thing, I’m afraid he might act stupidly”

.....

In the small town of Su Wei. The group stayed overnight at a resident’s house complex to continue their journey early the next morning.

That night Chai Ni kept her promise to Bai Ying to help him wash his long hair which had not been washed since their escape. The young man soaked his body in the bathtub with his thick and long hair hanging down so that it floated above the water’s surface.

The incident this afternoon was quite shocking, but Chai Ni would act as if she didn’t know if that kid had really great abilities and it wasn’t difficult for him to escape. If the sweet-faced young man followed her because she had a specific purpose. Well, she’ll just be ignorant.

“Your hair is so smooth, even though you haven’t washed it for days”

Bai Ying pursed his lips, he was a little disappointed that the Princess didn’t have oil or soap to wash his hair, he would still feel itchy after this.

“Does Princsee really don’t have any soap or hair oil at all? It will be the same as if I don’t wash my hair.”

Chai Ni pulled her lips.

“Don’t be fussy, it’s good that I washed it for you, I’m the princess, since when do I have to serve you bathing let alone wash your hair like this, you still don’t know how lucky you are”

“Well what should I do, I can’t do it by myself”

Not long after.

Chai Ni had already helped Bai Ying dry his hair sitting on the edge of his bed. The room did not have much furniture. Only one shabby bed on the inside and a cot by the window, enough for two people to sleep in the room.

“Aww be careful Princess, don’t pull it too strong” Bai Ying protested as Chai Ni pulled his wet hair with a dry cloth.

“It’s not that hard, don’t move much, this brat”

Bai Ying finally sat quietly letting the Princess help her dry his hair, although it didn’t smell very good at least his head felt fresher after a few days of not washing it.

Princess Chai Ni then used a large wooden comb to brush through Bai Ying’s long hair. From time to time Bai Ying would turn to look at the Princess who didn’t discuss what happened this afternoon. The princess actually slapped her men and kicked them to the ground, then grabbed his hand and pulled him away.

“Insolent! Is this how you treat children? And he, are you all deaf, he is the Viceroy of Wah Ye, that means he is your great leader, do you all want to be headed?” cried the Princess loudly.

“Em, I saw what happened, when the weapon was used” Bai Ying’s voice, which made Chai Ni’s hand movements stop.

“What you see, what weapon do you mean?” Chai Ni asked, continuing to move her hand through Bai Ying’s long hair which was still slightly wet.

“Fire Lightning, is not an ordinary sacred weapon, because of its considerable destructive power, even General Song decided not to use it in every battle he fought in the past. One use will make all living or dead objects within a radius of several kilos destroyed by fire instantly. Victims would be unavoidable, it wasn’t just the palace that was destroyed by all the occupants inside as well. The emperor, the queen, the concubines, the servants, the soldiers, and, in my vision, the weapon is so powerful that it spread beyond the palace and caused civilian casualties. You, will not want to accept that burden for the rest of your life, will you? Being the cause of the killing of tens, hundreds or even thousands of innocent living beings”

“Who says they are innocent? That whole palace, no exception even its servants were hypocrites who only thought about themselves. They all deserve to die in the most gruesome way,” said Chai Ni, who sounded emotionless in her voice.

“Does, Brother Lo Yi also like that?”

Bai Ying’s question made Chai Ni pause again, she lowered the comb down, thinking.

“Brother Lo Yi, he only thinks about himself, does he ever consider me as his sister? When all the bad things happened, where was he? He always goes and leaves me alone, he, like the others, doesn’t care about me at all.” said the Princess.

Bai Ying could feel her hand bit shaking when she stopped.
