620 Lust of Love

A beautiful girl with a petite body and curly long hair to the back of her waist trotted into a fairly dark cave. She lowered the basket onto a boulder and removed the lid. Instantly the delicious smell of various food with still hot steam billowing into the cave. There were food containers inside, bowls of rice, then vegetables, and several small bowls of meat and drinks in a large bamboo tube.

With a cheerful face, she set it on the big rock where she usually comes every day at the same time.

“Zhu Lang, I brought your favourite bamboo shoots, Aunt Su cooked it, I asked her to cook quite a lot because you like it right? Come on, eat it before it gets cold.”

Not long after, without the slightest sound from inside the cave, a tall, tall man with slightly limp steps appeared. Still wearing his uniform as a soldier, some of which have been torn apart and traces of dried blood are still visible.

The young woman smiled seeing the man approach, she take his hand and help him sit on the boulder.

“Hehe Zhu Lang, I’ve already given you some clean clothes, why don’t you change them, look at this, it’s so dirty.”

The young man with a partially scarred face looked at the young woman for a moment. Then took her hand and held it tightly.

“Mao Mao, I want to get out of here, you can take me to the border and I will find a way back to my country, you can help me right?”

Mao Mao, the young woman pursed her lips and looked at the handsome young man’s face with a pair of big eyes for a long time. The young man who was around twenty years old was indeed very handsome even though a few scars stained it. His white and bright skin unlike the men from White Bone Village in general was definitely not a Dai Yang citizen.

.....

Mao Mao took the young man’s hands and patted them gently, furrowing her eyebrow in worried.

“Emm Zhu Lang, like what I said before, so many soldiers from Dai Yang are patrolling almost every corner of the village, and they all will certainly catch any soldiers from other countries that pass by, you know what has happened recently, the situation is so chaotic, they intensively looking for foreign warriors to be captured.”

The young man called Zhu Lang looked at the young woman for a long time. He swallowed his saliva whole.

“But, what are they going to do with the soldiers from other countries? All this time Wah Ye has also helped him overcome disasters, right?”

Mao Mao calmly prepared food in front of the young man.

Well maybe because of the last battle that caused Her Majesty the Empress to die, after all this kingdom suffered quite a heavy loss, and that’s why they don’t look happy”

The young man called Zhu Lang stuttered, unable to speak further because the girl in front of him really should know what was going on out there all this time. After all, with his leg injured and still hurting a lot, it wasn’t easy for him to escape any further than a few steps out, he couldn’t do anything about it.

....

Brukk.

Madam Mao was thrown onto the floor of the main room of the Black Widow’s villa. After trying to attack Bai Ying who had destroyed all of her plans. She glared at the youth who was already standing in front of her with the Crown Prince and the others.

“Damn it! What did we do wrong to you, I just locked up that creature, you should thank me because it remained in that dark cave for tens of years, otherwise, how could this village be so peaceful?” cried Mrs Mao.

Miss Hu was also pushed and knelt beside her, helpless against the young man and his group, whoever they were was definitely not their opponents.

Bai Ying smirked at Madam Mao’s words. His pretty eyes looked terrifying as he stared at the woman without blinking, it made Madam Mao and Miss Hu limp due to Bai Ying’s energy pressure subconsciously wrapping around him.

Of course, Bai Ying was desperately trying to contain his emotions, he had never looked this angry before, and even the Crown Prince himself had rarely seen Bai Ying’s sweet face turn so frightening, once, when he was not him.

Bai Ying clenched his fists, turning his gaze elsewhere to hold his anger.

“Yeah right, you guys are so innocent, you did nothing than lock up a helpless youth and bait him to the mountain demon, turning him into a hideous and pathetic creature. You must think that’s very normal, to do it without caring what other people feel. Aren’t you afraid that one day your evil will strike back at you?” Bai Ying asked.

Mrs Mao widened her eyes. What does this young man in front of her mean? Does he know the secret?

“Wh-who, um, what do you mean?”

Bai Ying threw something in front of the woman, an identification plaque.

“Prangg” the loud sound as it hit the floor.

Madam Mao and Miss Hu were even more surprised to see what object was already in front of them.

.......

The night sky was crystal clear, with a clear crescent moon and stars hanging directly overhead where Bai Ying and the Crown Prince sat on the outer terrace of the inn which was located on the second floor of the restaurant in the Land Wind transit town. For a stopover city, this kind of lodging is quite luxurious compared to other places which may not necessarily be able to provide quite clean rooms and beds.

Luo Xiang hugged Bai Ying who sat leaning beside him while enjoying the scenery and the warm wind that blew towards midnight. As usual, the transit city had the rule to end all the transactions before midnight, so the small town’s main streets seemed deserted enough with pedestrians and visitors who had disappeared in an instant.

The atmosphere was quite calm, making both of them reluctant to move even though they had sat there for a long time. The original plan was just to lower dinner before heading to their bed to rest. But it turned out that the atmosphere was so pleasant that the two of them sat there for a long time and were reluctant to move.

“Your Majesty, what, the difference between love and lust, what, what Mrs Mao did can be interpreted as love?” Bai Ying asked.

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

A gust of wind stroked Bai Ying’s front hair on Luo Xiang’s face, he stroked Bai Ying’s forehead tucking his hair behind his ear. Staring very closely at his sweet face. The young man dropped his head on his shoulder. The wind carried Bai Ying’s body odour that the Crown Prince loved so much, a smell that could make his heart beat wildly, this, was love. He kissed Bai Ying’s forehead gently.

“Obviously, it’s very different Ying, lust only happens for a short time, while love, will last forever, unlimited. Ying Ying must be wondering how Mrs Mao claimed to love soldier Zhu but instead turned him into a monstrous creature for a hundred years, it’s not love, or, it is, but that just what was she thought.”

Bai Ying raised his head, frowning at Crown Prince’s answer. The Crown Prince’s hand clasped his fingers tightly.

“Your Majesty, so what’s was that? Is love really like that? Soldier Zhu was so unfortunate, his soul had to be confined within the creature’s body and survived by killing other youths during these hundred years. Did, what Mrs Mao did to him, can be called love? Ems” without being able to contain his emotions, finally his tears flowing down his cheeks.

Luo Xiang smiled, he move his hand to wipe the tears under Bai Ying’s big eyes gently, looking into the young man’s eyes deeply, he cry like a baby with a red nose.

“Silly kid, why do you have to cry like this? At least you already did the best for soldier Zhu, his soul is free now, and you shouldn’t have to cry.”

Bai Ying held Luo Xiang’s two palms on his cheeks. Looking at him with a pair of teary eyes, he tried to hold himself from crying.

“Ems, I just imagined what happened to him was very unfortunate. Why did Mrs Mao have the heart to cut off his legs and cause him to end his life in that dark cave, even after he died, Mrs Mao still didn’t let him go in peace, poor of him.”

Luo Xiang smiled, Bai Ying looks very cute, and he was very sad for one or no reason. He pulled the young man and hugged him tightly.

“Oh this brat, why are you being such a crybaby? Come here, big brother will hug you all night until you get better”

Bai Ying brushes off Xiang’s arm from him.

“Your Highness, do you forget about what Your Highness do with that woman, how could you kiss her like that?” Bai Ying’s cries became more and more intense. Luo Xiang was tired to coax him over and over again.

“Hey this kid, that it’s out of my control, silly boy, why do you still think about that unimportant matter?”

Bai Ying shrieked.

“Of course, Your Majesty seems to be enjoying it, how can it be beyond Your Majesty’s control, get away from me.”

Luo Xiang scratched his head.

“Heh, this kid, what can I do to convince you?”
