Chapter 259

259 The Dangerous Path

BaiYing turned his head, his face red with embarrassment when he realized his stomach sound made the man turn on him.

“Are you hungry?”

BaiYing nodded slowly.

“Yeah, I haven’t eaten anything since this morning, and unfortunately, I just bite the apples and fall like this, HuaBaiYing who is always unlucky”

The man chuckled, the young man in front of him was too adorable, couldn’t stop just looking at him.

“Hehehehe, here, I have some food”

The man took another bowl from the table behind him, BaiYing’s eyes widened at the contents of the bowl, small fresh fruit pieces of various kinds and colors, just looking at it made his alive drip, but, when he was about to reach for it his chest hurts unbelievably.

“Akh”

The man’s eyes widened when he saw BaiYing groaning while holding his chest, he put the bowl on the couch and grabbed BaiYing’s hand.

.....

“Ah M-Master what are you doing?”

The young man tried to pull his hand back when the man grabbed his wrist, his other hand touched BaiYing’s chin and looked closely at his face.

“You are internally injured.”

He checks the young man’s pulse, his eyes getting bigger. Without thinking too long the man pulled BaiYing’s body and sat him down and he himself climbed onto the couch and sat cross-legged behind the young man.

He pulled BaiYing’s back clothes off which showed his innocent back, BaiYing, who was in pain trying to rebel, did that man abuse him too?

“Ekh Master, what are you doing?”

He tried to turn his body but the movement of the man’s hand was very fast, with lightning he stabbed the acupoint at BaiYing’s neck and made the young man unconscious instantly, while the man opened his two palms wide, immediately filling his palms with energy which was immediately channeled to BaiYing’s back.

“Whoosh!”

.......

The sound of running water, the wind blowing smoothly through the window curtains.

The light from the hole above the ceiling showed that when it was still bright outside, the location of this cave must be on a mountain some distance from the Medicine Valley, because in the Medicine Valley it was almost impossible to get sunlight for long.

BaiYing opened his eyes, looked around the room, he had fallen asleep again, his last memory was when he felt a pain so intense in his chest that the man who took his clothes off, didn’t know what that man did to him, but he could feel the pressure in his chest lessen a bit by now.

Slowly the young man got up and sat up, although the pain and discomfort were still felt, at least he didn’t feel tortured every time he took a breath, it much lighter.

From his seat now BaiYing tried to look around, to find out where the man was, and he could see from afar the man, who was clearly seen from behind standing in front of the hut, on the edge of the lake with a small waterfall flowing from the top of the rock cave.

The water in the pool rippled, swaying left and right and swirling like a small storm floating on the water. The man was seen standing while clasping his hands in a circular motion and dancing with light body movements. His face looks very dignified, beyond his years, thought BaiYing who looked on in amazement.

“Wow, that’s so great” the young man was already standing in front of the hut seeing all the greatness in front of his eyes, the man turned his head and stopped his practice when he saw BaiYing standing on the terrace of the hut.

Fast, the man approached.

“Hey sweetie are you awake? How do you feel?”

The man served his guests very well, of course, he was his first guest after a long time there, the man look has been too long in the cave where there was only him there, of course, accompanied by adorable little animals like rabbits and sheep the mountains around the hut.

When BaiYing was about to dodge the man had already grabbed his waist and held his hand, he was very close to him.

“Master, are you Practicing?”

The man nodded, he led BaiYing to a chair in front of the terrace and sat down.

“Yes, I was, you’re still weak, you shouldn’t too much move yet”

BaiYing smiled, that man is not an ordinary person, even the person with the highest inner strength would have a hard time reversing the energy in his body, that’s why he was willing to be completely naked so that YiXing could reverse his energy, though, all it turned out to be futile, he knew from the talk he didn’t want to hear but overheard, that he might die soon from an unstoppable rush of energy.

“Emm, Master, who are you? Why can you reverse the energy in my body?”

The man looked at BaiYing for a moment, still holding the boy’s soft hand, until he sat up straight, taking a deep breath.

The man grabbed two cupped cups, then slowly poured tea into them, all food and drinks including tea also grew in the cave, that person would certainly never lack let alone starve.

“Heh, I am, just a person who is bored with the outside world, wishing to spend my life in this very serene and beautiful place, but, the reality is not like that, my time, turned out to be upside down here”

BaiYing frowned, hearing the man’s explanation who looked back at him, a pair of clear eyes with a stern gaze, full of light, an unpretentious face, and a friendly smile, he certainly wasn’t a bad person, but how could he be trapped there? But, he wouldn’t want to know much, this person must have his own reasons.

“Erm, this place is indeed very beautiful, the air is warm, there is natural lighting, there are no wild animals, all food is available here, so why stay outside full of chaos?”

The man smiled, he put his chin on his middle resting on the table, seeing BaiYing’s face for a while, it must have made BaiYing nervous.

“Eh, wh-what are you looking at?”

“Hey, your face, at first glance reminds me of an old friend of mine, but, after seeing you carefully, you both indeed very different.”

BaiYing was excited.

“You mean that I have a very common face then?”

The man chuckled lightly at BaiYing’s adorable pouting face.

“Hehehehe that’s not what I mean, um, what are you doing in this cave, sweetie? And how can a kid as young as you, have that much energy in your body? The energy that even through austerities for hundreds of years can’t necessarily be possessed by great people anywhere, you are, very attractive.”

Bai Ying’s eyes widen to see the man.

“Master, You know what’s inside my body?”

“Of course, when I felt your irregular pulses colliding with each other, I knew something big was churning inside, if you don’t neutralize it you might die in no time.”

BaiYing took a deep breath, say that again? He knew his time would not last long, his recklessness just made him die silly.

“Heh yeah, Yingger is pretty lame.”

The man straightened his seat when he heard BaiYing mention himself.

“Ying’er?”

BaiYing just realized, he was very rude not to introduce himself after the man in front of him had helped him. He clenched his fists in front of his face.

“Please forgive my impudence, I am HuaBaiYing, elders can call me Ying’er or XiaoYing”

“Hehehe Ying’er, what a beautiful name, um, you look very young.”

BaiYing clenched his fists again.

“This year Ying is turning seventeen years old, thanks to Elder for saving Ying’er”

The man laughed, he couldn’t bear to see BaiYing’s adorable face when he introduced himself.

“Hahahaha what a sweet and attractive child, Ying’er”

......

“Your Majesty!”

ShinYa shouted as he approached, at that time the Crown Prince had stained his sword with green liquid that came out of the giant creature he slashed, resembling a normal plant but its size was as high as a big tree and could move, the trunk had pulled the Crown Prince’s body dragging it a bit far and seemed to want to eat it.

The Crown Prince’s sword slash made the plant whimper and flee quickly.

“Your Majesty, you are injured.”

Yotang’s eyes widened as he saw LuoXiang’s sleeve which was bleeding.

LuoXiang cursed, dammit, he thought, he let his guard down a bit and let the creature hurt him.

YoTang lowered the small basket that he was carrying around his waist and took out a few bottles of medicine.

“If I’m not mistaken, according to Teacher, this creature is a kind of plant that lives and moves because it absorbing the essence of the Golden Buffalo Mountain, and the number is increasing day by day, the poison is not too dangerous, only causes a little numbness, even Teacher has used it as a painkiller for treat serious wounds. Pardon me for being presumptuous Your Majesty, um, may I take off Your Majesty’s sleeves?”

Crown Prince nodded, letting YoTang treat his wound, it was ShinYa who looked worried instead.

“It’s poisonous? Did Master Yo bring the antidote with you too?”

YoTang nodded.

“Of course Master Shin, I brought all the medicine with me, according to Teacher this path is very dangerous because it has been left for too long that all kinds of creatures grow well here, although it is not so bad, it might be a bit numb but still usable, and our destination is not very far from here, after passing this way we will arrive at the entrance of the cave.”

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Hearing that, as soon as YoTang bandaged his wound LuoXiang hurried his way back.

“Come on, we have to move again”
