CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

The wind carried the long robe that Bai Ying wore into the distance.

Even though the air is starting to get cold and it will soon rain, it doesn’t make the young man who has been sitting on the edge of the cliff where he first summoned Er Wang and his strength there.

Bai Ying opened his palm, seeing a little circle of white flames floating above it. Then look at the distance where the whole scenery of the Pai Hua valley and its surroundings can be seen very clearly.

“Old man Er Wang”

Bai Ying’s voice, although it’s so mall, could be heard far to the east, to Liu Yang. The dragon Er Wang who was meditating writhed and opened his eyes which momentarily glowed orange.

In a short time, Er Wang’s spirit appeared in front of Bai Ying, bowing his head in salute.

“Greetings King of Realm, what makes His Majesty so restless? I could feel the turmoil in Your Majesty’s heart even in Liu Yang. The entire sky around Pai Hua all the way to Liu Yang was covered in dark clouds”

Bai Ying closed his palm. Taking a breath, looking far ahead. Soon it rained heavily.

.....

And it does. The very strong rain was followed by thunderstorms that strike the sky at once. The wind swept the dense tall trees that covered the cloud forest and the Pai Hua valley and the cold air made the entire land covered by the fog that gathered in a short time.

Even so, the heavy rain did not fall on Bai Ying at all.

“Heh, old man, when you said that I and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not unite, what did you mean by your speech?”

Bai Ying’s question made the dragon Er Wang whose body was coiled in front of Bai Ying raise his head.

“Um, actually, I can’t say anything after what has happened so far Your Majesty, because of the destiny of the King of Realm and the King of Heaven, it is very difficult to be seen by anyone other than Your Majesty yourself. But, what is it that makes His Highness restless like this? Is it worthed?” Er Wang asked.

Bai Ying turned around, seeing that Er Wang, who once was an uncontrollable, ferocious monster that threatened to devour him. Time passed quickly, although, everything was still like a dream.

“Actually not really, it’s just, this isn’t something like defeating the toughest enemy or something like that, this, turns out to be much more difficult than that,” said Bai Ying putting his chin on his knees, putting on a frown.

Er Wang chuckled. The sound of his laughter thundered like lightning that struck here and there, Bai Ying had to turn to see the dragon with narrowed eyes. Is he laughing at him?

“Old man, are you making fun of me? I’m so desperate like this and you can still laugh out loud”

Er Wang stopped laughing, seeing the King of Realm’s adorable face, who was his master. The dragon lowered its head.

“Pardon me, Your Majesty, I just can’t help myself, Your Majesty is the King of Realm, there is nothing in this world that Your Majesty cannot do. I just laughed because Your Highness was completely unaware of that privilege until now”

Bai Ying pulled his lips. But turned to see Er Wang and frowned.

“Is it true, the King of Realm can do whatever I want? How about being a normal human being and living with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forever? Heh, that’s impossible, right? Heh, why is this so difficult?” he asked.

“What’s so difficult?”

Other voices besides his and Er Wang’s were heard. Bai Ying turned and saw the Crown Prince appearing from the bottom of the cliff. The Crown Prince brought a white umbrella with a beautiful painting that covered his body from the wetness of the rain that fell countless times, approaching Bai Ying who was still looking at him with big round eyes in bewilderment.

“Your Highness, why do you know that I am here?” he asked.

Arriving in front of Bai Ying, Luo Xiang frowned, how could Bai Ying and his surroundings still be dry, completely untouched by the rain? He closed his umbrella.

“Brat, still dare to ask, after what you did all day and ran away from the villa and made this much rain, do you want to make the Pai Hua valley and the palace complex that is still in the development stage flooded and ruined?”

Bai Ying looked around and pursed his lips.

“This won’t be a flood, Your Highness, it’s just a little rain, after all, I’m not the one who did it” The

Crown Prince pursed his lips, looking at Bai Ying’s face with his back to him. He finally sat down next to Bai Ying and looked far down where the Pai Hua valley and the Cloud Forest stretched wide, of course, it would be much more beautiful if it wasn’t for the heavy rain covering it.

Luo Xiang pulled Bai Ying’s coat closer, tying it at the front of the collar.

“Why is my Ying Ying thinking about something heavy alone here? Oh, I mean, with Er Wang, does Er Wang have a lot of free time for you to call whenever you want?” he asked.

Bai Ying looked at Er Wang, of course, as a golden dragon the Crown Prince could see Er Wang’s presence the same as him.

“Um, well, what is this old man doing? It’s just meditating all day in his pagoda, he did has a lot of free time”

Hearing Bai Ying’s sharp and sarcastic words, Er Wang snorted.

“Your Highness, I have an important duty to be the guardian of the eastern pagoda, if I go to then it will ruin the balance of nature and will be disturbed, Your Highness knows what will happen because of that, right?” he asked.

Bai Ying pursed his lips.

“Just an excuse”

The Crown Prince looked at Bai Ying’s face, tidying the wind-blown hair to the front of his face.

“Hmm, what, something made my Ying Ying upset? Are you still thinking about the duty of being King and being the Crown Prince’s concubine?” asked Luo Xiang. A question that Bai Ying did not expect would be heard by him at that moment, by the Crown Prince himself, because they often avoided it.

“Your Highness, what, should Ying Ying do?”

Luo Xiang looked at Bai Ying’s pair of big round eyes that looked at him for a long time with teary eyes.

“Whiny child, you have become the King of Realm, is my Ying Ying not aware of who you are now?”

Bai Ying finally couldn’t hold back the tears and ended up crying, lowering his head and trying to turn his gaze away from the Crown Prince.

“Stupid child,” said the Crown Prince who gently washed the tears that ran down Bai Ying’s cheeks. Lifting Bai Ying’s face with his two palms, then looked at him until finally, he smiled amusedly.

“Hey, this frog”

Bai Ying who was crying looked at the Crown Prince sharply.

“Your Highness”

Luo Xiang chuckled, as did Er Wang, he couldn’t help but look at Bai Ying’s face which still looked very adorable even though he was crying.

“Hehe, forgive me, but, look at your nose, it’s red like a frog like this, you can’t cry, if you cry no matter how you hide it, everyone will know that you’re crying”

Bai Ying’s two hands grabbed the Crown Prince’s front clothes.

“Your Highness, what should we do? What should Ying er do? What, are we going to be separated again? This time, the creature we are facing is not any mystical or savage creature, can we defeat it?”

Luo Xiang smiled. He stroked Bai Ying’s hair and kissed his brow, letting the young man lowered his head on his shoulder. Sitting together facing the valley with an endless view. Slowly the rain began to subside. The wind was not as strong as before and the fog began to decrease.

In a short time, the dark clouds that covered the sky of Pai Hua valley and its surroundings slowly marched away-giving the orange sun a chance to reappear.

Bai Ying smiled, hugging the Crown Prince’s hand tightly. Luo Xiang held Bai Ying’s hand and linked all of their fingers together. Witnessing the beautiful sight of the orange sun followed by a large rainbow that stretches across the sky of Pai Hua.

“Your Highness, the sky is so beautiful, the rainbow too”

Bai Ying took in as much air as possible, smelling the Pai Hua and the Cloud Forest after being drenched in a brief heavy rain.

Luo Xiang nodded.

“Well, it’s true, everything is so beautiful, and so is my Ying Ying,” said Luo Xiang looking at Bai Ying’s face which was so beautiful in the afternoon sun. Finally moved his head and kissed his lips. He wouldn’t miss it, kissing his lover under the beautiful evening sky at that moment.

Dragon Er Wang pretended not to see anything, but how could he not? The big dragon could only snort softly while turning his body and head. As little sound as he can so as not to disturb anyone.
