238 That Beast
Loud laughter echoed. Slowly, BaiYing opened his eyes. The surroundings were not so bright, and it’s so cold. He was very cold. Of course, half of his body is in the pool full of black water.
“Ekh”
BaiYing tried to move, his whole body was weak and helpless, something tied his waist and two legs up in a standing position.
“Wow, see that Father? Just like what Xing’er said, the poison has absolutely no meaning for this beautiful child, look, he’s awake now.”
A young man dressed in white, blurry but BaiYing’s vision slowly began to clear, even though his head was still hurting, but he could clearly see who was standing on it, resembling a smooth cobbled road with only one long path, and he was in the water, a pool of cold dark water.
One man, perhaps from the sound of his voice, was of enormous stature wearing a shiny black mask that matched his attire, and they were in a cave with a very high and dark sky, if not because of the oil lamp hanging on each wall, the cave indeed pitch dark.
“Who are you guys? What do you want?”
The young YiXing smiled, he opened his white fan and walked elegantly towards the side not far from the boy.
“Hem, sweet child, you don’t have to be afraid, we only need your blood and energy, after all, you are so strong, your healing energy is great, you can heal yourself very quickly, imagine if TaoLei could get all that, he would become the strongest creature.”
.....
BaiYing looked at the young man sharply, he returned to MaYang, at least that’s the place he thought of when he heard the name of the TaoLei, the beast that takes Yin energy from youths around, and all of them are virgins. BaiYing smirked.
“Heh, you might be disappointed, you guys don’t know how long I stayed in the Crown Prince’s palace, did you naively think that I still a virgin?”
YiXing waved his fan, brushing the long hair that fell in front of him.
“Hehe, it won’t matter, for this very pure energy, even if you aren’t it still so amazing, all of this is worth fighting for, heh what a great loss for YueYang”
BaiYing tried to untie the knots in his hands, he can still take out his fire at any time.
“You know that I can expend my energy at any time right? Burning TaoIei to nothing, it’s very easy for me.”
The big black-clothed man laughed.
“Hahahaha such a beautiful and attractive child, also very smart, Xing’er you don’t say anything about this kid before, he’s indeed very attractive, so what are we going to do about this? it’s too pity we have to give him to that idiot TaoLei, it is deeply regretted”
BaiYing tried to expel the fire from his palm, he could definitely do it, but every time he tried his chest hurt so much like the pressure in his body was trying to burst out, what had they done to him?
“Ekh”
YiXing the young man seemed to know that the young man was trying to expend his energy.
“Hehe, don’t put in too much effort my beautiful Viceroy, you won’t be able to expend your energy for a while, if you don’t want your core meridians to shatter and become a cripple, you’d better save your energy.”
BaiYing’s eyes widened.
“What do you mean by that, what have you guys done to me?”
YiXing laughed, his eyes flashing at BaiYing with great satisfaction.
“Hahahaha this young man is very powerful and strong-willed, it really reminds me of a young man who came sixty years ago begging to learn the greatest martial arts on earth, you both are quite similar, it’s a shame that that person had to lose to a little boy who resembled him” the voice of a man dressed black.
“Who do you mean? Do you guys know great-grandfather YueWang?” asked Bai Ying.
“Hehehehe great-grandfather, no wonder you look familiar, he, a very great young man back then, because his ambition to learn high-level martial arts in a short time damaged his core meridians, I don’t know what happened next, but he returned to being a much more powerful young man, he sought knowledge all the way to the Medicine Valley and studied with old man Ou, had an older brother who found a bloodstone, all those coincidences didn’t even make him the ruler of the world, he was defeated by an immature kid, and that was you? Well, we, see how well you can hold on to TaoLei’s hands.”
The masked man waved his hand, in a flash, the water beneath BaiYing was churned.
Blukk blukk blukk.
The young man widen his eyes as he felt something creep up, all the way up on his legs and body.
“What are you doing?”
BaiYing tried to expend his energy, but nothing worked, every time his chest will hurt unbelievably, but that creature, a slippery and sucking creature with a part of the body that keep crawling from his feet to the top of his chest, a slimy, repulsive, living root, that keep dripping as it rose high and pierce through the flesh on both of his hands.
“Ahhh!”
The pain was unimaginable, BaiYing was excruciated as the living root penetrate his hands, as well as his legs, and sucked out his blood very fast.
“Ekhhh! Stop it!!”
YiXing the young man and the masked man laughed loudly, TaoLei who used to be in the water, now appeared to be of enormous size on top of BaiYing, lifting the unconscious young man’s body and hanging him while the roots continued to suck his blood out.
The color of the roots which red from the blood instantly turned into a gleaming gold that flowed from the tip of the root to TaoLei’s huge body that resembled a bundle of huge roots with two huge yellow eyes, the creature screamed, as if, it was enjoying the youth’s blood, for an ordinary person, the blood might run out in fast, but not for BaiYing, his blood continued to regenerate no matter how much the creature sucked it out.
“Hahahahaha this is great!”
YiXing’s and the masked man’s laughter echoed throughout the dark cavern, laughter of unimaginable satisfaction.
......
Two days ago.
The sun has just appeared.
Big birds flew from a distance.
Soon the smoke billowed up beyond the height of the dense trees in the depths of the Inner forest, there was the sound of commotion and groaning that accompanied the clash of sharp weapons in the air.
Ting ting ting ting.
“Insolent, where did these people come from? There are too many of them,”
ChenMing cursed as he aimed his weapon as best he could to ward off the enemy who was about to enter the XinHua city gate.
“Ming’er, quickly turn on the protective mechanism, they are getting more and more!” cried old man Pai.
ChenMing tried to block the enemy’s attack, these people with big tall bodies and scary faces barely resembled humans, they already knew the movements of these people but didn’t expect them to attack in the early morning.
MeMa came to help, the petite girl leading an agile and strong army of young men and women, attacking with their small weapons resembling double tridents the size of their arms in their hands.
As soon as MeMa’s arrival gave ChenMing a way to run towards the palace, he had to turn on the palace’s protective mechanism.
“Idiot, why did this happen at an unexpected time like this”
....
YueYang Palace was on high alert.
BeiYau had already gathered troops in front of the Dragon field.
The sky wasn’t that bright even though the sun should have been rising a few hours ago, gray clouds covered YueYang’s sky accompanied by a cold wind blowing the flags and banners belonging to the troops that lined up neatly at the vast Dragon field.
The Emperor held the Crown Prince’s hand as he put on his belt to put his sword.
LuoXiang’s eyes were sharp, the Emperor looked at those eyes that were very full of fire and worried about it.
“Xiang’er, you must be able to restrain yourself, control your emotions, no matter what you must think with a cool head, Ying’er’s life and this country are on the brink, at this time, put aside the thought that Ying’er is your concubine, then You will be able to think clearly.”
The Crown Prince stared at the old Emperor, his eyes filled with anger that could explode over his head.
“Then, according to Father, what must Xiang’er do about this? YingYing is in their hands, no matter how great they are I still have to bring him home”
“That’s not what Ying’er wants, that child is trying to maintain peace because he is a child full of love, he loves everyone including his people, as well as you and the soldiers, he won’t be happy to see everyone sacrifice in vain for him, you have to think carefully”
LuoXiang held his breath, his chest hurt unbelievably imagining how YingYing would become an inevitable victim, this was what he didn’t want to think would happen, if one day, he had to choose between the country, and his YingYing, though, this, was probably what the boy wanted.
LuoXiang lifted his head, restraining himself so that his chest could beat slower due to his emotions, when he saw someone appear from behind the door, someone he didn’t want to admit might be able to help him.
“Heh”
