429 The Decision

Bai Ying thought, there is no way that Xiao Hong is stupid, that bird is very smart, he just hasn’t adapted yet. Of course, after transforming into a mystical red bird, he hasn’t had the chance to decide on his human form yet, thus he hasn’t had time to descend the mountain, and he has to forcibly remove the bloodstone which causes him badly injured. If he were to be human any longer, Xiao Hong would definitely be a very smart person. However, Bai Ying nodded his head.

“Well, that’s right, Xiao Hong is stupid, just like Ying was, very stupid for not knowing how the world is out there, heh, we, indeed still have a lot to learn Hong, and Ying is sure, even if only staying in Xi Yang but Xiao Hong can also be a very smart person.”

Hearing that Xiao Hong’s eyes widened, as if very pleased with Bai Ying’s answer.

“Wow, really? Your Majesty, then I will learn a lot later, I will be a very smart Xiao Hong when I meet Your Majesty the Realm King again one day.”

Bai Ying nodded and smiled broadly.

“Surely, we will meet again someday!”

.......

The Crown Prince’s chariot was ready in the front yard of the Li family’s residence.

Finally after a while there the group would back to Xin Hua to continue their next move. According to Li Mo, the sky in the north currently looks turbulent, there is news that near the big Black Turtle river, there has been a flood disaster that has caused the embankment to burst.

.....

Crown Prince didn’t expect the fault that Elder Yi mentioned to had arrived there so quickly, but they couldn’t be rash, at least had to go back to Xin Hua to discuss the strategy against the water turtle which was known to be very strong and had no weaknesses so far, what should be done? What would they do to face the giant creatures in the last element, namely water?

Li Mo stroked his beard, accompanying the Crown Prince who walked towards the courtyard where all the Li family’s men and servants were busy preparing provisions and necessities for the group to travel quite a distance back to Xin Hua.

As usual, Crown Prince Luo Xiang was leisurely walking with his arms folded behind his back and waist walking gracefully beside Li Mo, watching from a distance Bai Ying and Chen Ming who were busy preparing all the necessities for the trip, including ample and durable food for the road, such as they would just walk without stopping, carrying Bai Ying who was super fussy. They would often stop by at luxurious restaurants and very decent inns, of course depending on the place. Basically, the kid just needs a soft and comfortable mattress for him to sleep on, and of course, a bathtub. He really is a troublesome kid.

“Heh Your Majesty, I really hope to be able to entertain Your Majesty a little longer, but unfortunately, the timing is not right,” said Li Mo.

Luo Xiang nodded.

“That’s right Uncle, this is not the right time, according to Elder Yi, if soon after the fault occurred, and if we didn’t subdue that mystical beast immediately then a great catastrophe could happen, all of the Xin Hua and Yue Yang plains would be affected. And Xiang er didn’t expect that to happen, let alone Ying Ying”



Li Mo nodded.

“That’s right Your Majesty, everything can’t just be allowed to happen, heh, I can only see from a distance, however, I will always pray that everything goes well, the black tortoise does not have a weakness until now, water, it is said very calm but immersive, the discharge if calm can save lives, but if loud can cause disaster, hemh”

The two walked and stopped near the golden carriage, there were two large carriages, one of the largest and most comfortable belonged to the Crown Prince and Bai Ying, while the smaller one was Chen Ming’s, and occasionally Bei Yau or Su Lang or Ge Lu could take turns riding it if he wanted, so far, only Bei Yau had dared to enter.

“Em, then, how about the making of a giant vermilion bird statue in front of the road leading to the spider forest, is it done?” asked Luo Xiang,

Li Mo lowered his head.

“Report Your Majesty, it’s almost done, just waiting for the elders to do the inauguration on it”

Luo Xiang looked far ahead, to the clear sky that morning, the warm air in Xi Yang with the firebird guarding it, of course, this city will become more beautiful and prosperous.

“Heh, it’s a shame Xiao Hong can’t get out of this city, even if his strength can’t be used against the black tortoise, still he will be very useful in every battle, and most importantly, Ying Ying likes him very much”

As the two were about to continue On their way back to the carriage, a voice came from Bai Ying’s position.

“But it is not possible!” Bai Ying’s voice.

Luo Xiang frowned upon hearing Bai Ying’s voice and immediately approached.

“Ying, what’s wrong?” Luo Xiang widened his eyes to see who was kneeling in front of Bai Ying.

“Xiao Hong?”

Xiao Hong was already kneeling in front of Bai Ying, her eyes were bloodshot as if he had been crying, he looked at the Crown Prince for a moment, and turned his head back towards Bai Ying, bowing deeply.

“Please Your Majesty, let Servant come along with you, servant, willing to lose all my energy here, let Xiao Hong go with Your Majesty the Realm King”

Bai Ying stuttered, he looked at Luo Xiang for a moment, then looked at Xiao Hong again, what should he do?

“But..”

All eyes turned to Xiao Hong who lowered his body in front of Bai Ying who was still confused. The young bird looked so serious with his words, that he even clenched his fists in front of his deeply bowed head.

Bai Ying turned to the Crown Prince as if he is asking for his help.

“Your Highness”

Before long, even though it was explained at length what would happen if he expelled all the bloodstone energy from his body, Xiao Hong persisted in doing so. Finally, the trip was delayed for a while to persuade Xiao Hong, whether he would regret it or not, but Bai Ying felt bad for him.

That afternoon everyone had gathered in front of the giant red bird statue that had just been completed at the entrance to the Spider forest, which was still covered by the red cloth and the rope that bound it.

Initially, the statue was made because for decades the Li family and Xi Yang city had made many mistakes against the forest-dwelling red birds, hunting and killing them until only a few were left, and even then, they were nowhere to be found. And in their honour, the statue of a large bird that looks very beautiful and majestic was built, although, it cannot replace how much sadness and suffering they have endured so far.

Li Mo pulled the red cloth covering the statue, it should only be revealed to the public after the inauguration, but this time, they had to open it. Even though residents were restricted and prohibited from approaching, there was still a crowd around the statue area.

“Wow, I heard it’s going to be inaugurated today, huh?” curious citizens.

“Not yet, it said, the inauguration is still waiting for the arrival of the elders from the next village, all of them had not gathered yet,” said another resident.

Residents, mostly middle-aged men and women who happened to be doing activities around there, looked enthusiastic.

“Maybe it’s going to be inspected in case it’s not finished yet.”

An old man nodded, his old eyes no longer able to see far, let alone him, the young man beside him also couldn’t see what was going on because the surrounding area was guarded by the city security officers and the Li family.

“Oh well, let’s just get out of here, anyway it’s not our business.”

Residents who couldn’t see what was happening finally looked away.

“Yeah, we’ll just come back tomorrow, I heard there will be a lot of free food distributed by the mayor, a lot of them, he’s been very generous lately”

The voices of residents gossiping can still be heard even though they walk away.

“Yes, it’s because our city has a dignitary guest, and also because of the great lord Li, who would be so generous if it weren’t for him.”

“That’s true.”

A rather stocky man, the official Wan was none other than the mayor of Xi Yang, smiled broadly respectfully at Luo Xiang who was introduced by Li Mo as one of the sons of high ranking officials in Yue Yang palace. The man stroked his layered chin while laughing until his cheeks rounded big.

“Hehehe, it’s really a blessing for the young master to come to inaugurate this statue, but, the elders haven’t arrived yet, we might have to wait until tomorrow,” said the man who is known to be very humble, a bit stingy and miserly, the carriage he uses every day is even secondhanded from the former officials, whether one could say this person was very good at managing finances or keeping things for himself, no one cared as long as he managed the city and its people well.
