Chapter 121 - It Comes
Chapter 121 – It Comes
BaiYing's face turns sour when he saw all the snacks that Lan'er took, all the cookies and nuts he brought from the palace, his adorable face when he shrunk made aYa who saw it couldn't help but chuckle.
"Hehehe Ying'er, looks like you just lost a treasure."
Lan'er didn't care, she stuck her tongue out at BaiYing while picking up her food.
"Wuek, XiaoYing if you want it, you to have to play the game first, if you win I'll think about whether to give it to you or not"
BaiYing pulled Lan'er's hand.
"Akh sister, don't be stingy, that was Ying'er's last snacks, we will be here for a long time, what will Ying'er eat?"
Lan'er glared at BaiYing, she flicked the young man's forehead.
"Aww sister"
"Who told you to stay here longer, instead of going straight home, this place is very sad and barren, there is no good food, there is no street food, who wants to stay here, it's just you whos too busy thinking of them"
BaiYing pursed his mouth.
"Um, that's why we have to help them, sis, they are so pitty, Ying'er can't stand seeing people suffering from hunger, it's very sad,"
The Crown Prince who had wanted to immediately meet BaiYing while carrying a snack in his hand stopped his steps at the last stairs.
"Well, yeah, but if they can move why should stay here, just look at SanPo, or ChangSan, even my hometown is so prosperous, there are still many good places in YueYang, they can move there," Lan'er continued.
"But this is their hometown if it can be fixed, why should they leave" continued BaiYing, while AYa just watched the two kept talking, for some reason she didn't feel the two of them were noisy, it felt like she couldn't stop smiling, the girl's face became very different from usual which couldn't show her expression at all.
"Come on, play it again, if you win I'll share it in half" Lan'er said, BaiYing's eyes wide.
"Really?"
"Yeah come on, aYa you still have anything to bet?" asked Lan'er, aYa pushed the sweets-like snacks in small packets in front of her.
"It's sweets that I really like, I'll bet two"
"Why only two!" Lan'er squeaked.
"This is so delicious, and hard to get, it's still good I gave two" exclaimed AYa, BaiYing covered his mouth to hold back his laughter, AYa's face at that time with high eyebrows seemed to have found the right opponent, Lan'er who was no less fussy.
"How stingy!"
The Crown Prince clenched his fists, remembering what BeiYau said earlier this afternoon.
"Sixty years ago this city was like any other city in YueYang, fertile and always raining, Your Majesty certainly remembers when we arrived at the last city before arriving in LiuYang it rained heavily, but not in LiuYang, according to the village elder, when he was still young, a rough battle took place in the Deep forest where a lot of people from the capital came to surround the mighty serpent's cave, according to the legend, the serpent was a weather controller in the surrounding YueYang area, even as far to Kili, those people pushed the serpent into the cave and even destroyed the cave with the explosives that left many sacred serpents seriously injured were buried, it is said that there were four serpents and now only one remains, again, according to the story, ErWang, the name of the serpent should also have died from his wounds, but when the other three serpents were injured he took the opportunity to eat them, it's called ErWang because it has the second largest body after the first one"
The Crown Prince listened thus seriously, he touched his chin, the legend was in the city, why didn't he think before, it's indeed BaiYing's condition which was poisoned with Moon Scales poison which did live in the Deep forest, made him don't think twice to take him there, dammit, he was already trapped.
His fist clenched hit on the table.
"Idiot, all of this happened just to lure me to bring YingYing here, this enemy is so cunning"
BeiYau continued.
"Your Majesty, for the sake of Young Master's safety, we better get out of here immediately."
The Crown Prince took a deep breath.
"Healer Wan thinks YingYing's condition also allows for a long journey, we will depart when the sky is clear Bei, let the others get ready"
BeiYau nodded his head.
"Yes Your Majesty"
The laughter of BaiYing, Lan'er and aYa broke LuoXiang's thoughts, he continued his steps towards the table.
"Hahahaha Sis Lan'er caught cheating" BaiYing exclaimed couldn't help but laugh as Lan'er's secret card fell from her sleeve, the embarrassed Lan'er couldn't help but laugh at how stupid she was.
"Hahahaha"
"You guys, it's late are you not tired? YingYing, you need to rest a lot, tomorrow we have to go back to the palace"
The Crown Prince's words made all laughter stop, BaiYing immediately glanced at AYa who was also looking at him.
"Um tomorrow? Why is it so soon Your Majesty, the nursery house is not finished yet."
The Crown Prince stroked BaiYing's crown, unable to say the real reason.
"City conditions do not allow us to stay here longer, you still need to rest and eat healthy food, and our supplies are running low."
BaiYing tidied up the food in front of him with a slightly disappointed face, he thought, if they returned to the palace, how about the promise between him and the little boy he met in the afternoon just now.
"Come on, pinky promise, big brother will make this city good again so that Pang'er will have lots of delicious food" he held out his pinky to the skinny little boy who accidentally played in front of the villa because his two parents went to the fields, he was probably around five-six years old, he smiled widely until his cheeks rounded out holding out his little finger.
"Hehehe brother promise yeah!" until BaiYing gave all his snacks to the child, from the boy's parents BaiYing found out that they accidentally gave birth to Pang'er in the city, and that little child, probably the smallest one among the other residents there who had to accept the condition of being unable to move from the city at any cost.
And BaiYing turned to aYa, these couple days, he saw the princess who used to be like a statue could smile and laugh, it felt like his own sister, does this mean they will be separated here?
BaiYing took a deep breath, perhaps he should part.
Just as everyone was getting ready to head to their rooms, a loud roar was heard from outside the villa.
"Arrgggghhh!!!' so loud that it was deafening, LuoXiang's eyes widened, he immediately held BaiYing's hand tightly, was this what he was thinking?
"Damn, let's all go back to the room!" cried the Crown Prince, while BaiYing and the others were still confused. The Crown Prince pulled BaiYing's hand towards the steps, the sound of groans and loud bangs was heard clearly, the battle seemed inevitable.
"Your Majesty!" BaiYing shouted about to ask but he didn't have to, because, with his own eyes, he could clearly see what was causing all the noise and commotion.
"Aaarrrgghhhh!!"
But their steps were too late, as soon as the ceiling of the villa was hit violently and all the roofs fell apart,
"Akkh" FuLan and the maids ran the other way for cover, while LuoXiang held BaiYing's hand tightly and had drawn his longsword, his eyes wide open. Seeing what was in front of them, although LuoXiang wasn't surprised anymore, the giant serpent came faster than he expected.
"Dammit!"
BaiYing held onto the Crown Prince's clothes tightly, a huge serpent with a head that was now sticking out from the ceiling with a pair of red eyes looking at him, sticking out its long tongue as if tempted to see BaiYing, directly to his eyes, suddenly his chest was beating really fast, this was probably because he was scared.
"Arrgghhh!!"
BeiYau and his men dashed in, all drawing swords at the sight of the serpent.
Inevitably an unequal battle between the small, helpless human beings against the mighty giant serpent took place, even AYa also drew her sword and fought back several times when the serpent's large body rotated hitting all of them at once.
The Crown Prince retreated as he continued to hold BaiYing's hand, he swallowed hard, this was not their opponent, imagine that ErWang who never came out of hiding was suddenly there, the serpent body as big as a two-story villa was very strong with its hard scales, even any sharp sword is difficult to penetrate.
'Arrrgggghhh!"
bokk!
Prakkk!!
People fell violently, buildings were badly damaged, FuLan and her maid, as well as BaiYing's maids, took cover behind the welcoming table until the palace guards gave way for them to get out of the villa.
"Ahhh!"
After making sure BaiYing was safe behind the pile of items, the Crown Prince drew his sword and leaped onto the second floor to attack at close range, the creature definitely had a weakness, no matter how strong it was.
"Bei, attack the lower part of the stomach!" LuoXiang exclaimed, BeiYau who was overwhelmed and had been thrown several times was already gasping for air, he glanced at ErWang's underside which was also protected by hard skin, but it wasn't as hard as his back.
LuoXiang tied a rope over the balcony pegs that were still intact and shot towards the giant snake, flying several times trying to hit the serpent with his inner strength.
"Argghhh!"
ErWang briefly faltered, the gust of internal energy from LuoXiang's hand was very strong, but that only made him even angrier, the serpent twisted its body and flung its thorny tail towards LuoXiang.
"Ting!" the sound of metal clashing, ErWang's tail was very thick with sword-like scales which LuoXiang had to hold onto with his sword now.
"Damn it, he's so strong" LuoXiang put all his strength into his palm and threw it towards the tail of the caterpillar that was pressing on him, the intense pressure made ErWang even more furious.
"Arrrgghhh!"
