Chapter 723 - 723 Old Man, White Fox
723 Old Man, White Fox
Bai Ying looked at the man for a moment, the smile on his face that would not fade as long as he looked at him. Bai Ying finally removed Su Li Ming’s hand from his leg and pulled his leg from the man’s lap.
“Uh, pardon me, it’s troublesome Young Mas, .. eh Brother Su, but, Ying er doesn’t think it’s necessary, thank you, Brother”
Su Liming smiled. Both hands are empty now. He took a deep breath.
“Heh, well, it can’t be helped, but it’s not a bother at all, after all, it’s just the two of us in this valley, there’s no one else here besides us. Oh well, little brother, why are you suddenly not trying to find your way out again? Is that mean, Brother Hua is willing to live here with me? Until whenever?” asked the young man.
Bai Ying looked at the man for a long time, observing his smile which became another part of his face that had never looked the least bit worried since the first time they met. Bai Ying smiled. He took a deep breath as if collecting all the heavy air that he wanted so badly to get rid of from who knows when.
“Well, young master Su, I mean, brother Su, tell me, why don’t we need to leave this place? Until when is that, young master Su, invite me to stay here?”
His question, as well as his gaze toward the young man, made Su Li Ming open his eyes wide, and smiled awkwardly.
“Eh, what do you mean, Brother,” asked the young man. Bai Ying’s eyes had already caught a sharp eye on him, until the boy lowered his head again and looked at the waterfall, smiling.
“Hey, yeah, young master Su, or can I call you by my name, old man White Fox?”
.....
Young Master Su fell silent. Looking at Bai Ying’s eyes that stare at him for a long time. Until finally the young man smiled. In a split of second, a flash of white light appeared so bright from his face and whole body. The young man’s face changed, still with the handsome face of Young Master Su Li Ming, only exuding a white light with white and flawless skin. It turned out that the young man was the embodiment of a thousand-year-old White Fox who was extremely beautiful. The young man smiled.
“Hey, really, am I that clear, young man? King of the Realms?” he asked.
Bai Ying wrinkled his forehead, thought, then shook his head.
“Um, not really, you done so great, you tricked me for, emm one and a half days here, old man”
Hearing that, the White Fox’s eyes widened. A pair of very beautiful silver and gray eyes. With skin as white as snow and sharp ears with fluffy tips like the ears of a cute little fox. The young man turned into someone far from human. A God’s mystical creature.
The White Fox twisted its arm. In an instant, a small round table appeared in front of him. Complete with a white jade teapot and two white jade cups with beautiful paintings. Bai Ying saw the reddish tea water pour out of the exquisite little teapot, filling up the two empty cups on the table.
The man lifted a cup and handed it to Bai Ying, who took it without hesitation.
“Heh, you should have told me that you already know, so we don’t have to eat sweet potatoes every day, brat,” said the man sipping his tea.
Bai Ying looked at the red tea in the small cup that was no more than his thumb tall, then slowly sipped it. The taste was quite unique, slightly bitter, but sweet on the tip of the tongue, thinking of that Bai Ying immediately thought of the Crown Prince.
“Wow, this is delicious, His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely like it very much, may I have it, old man?” Bai Ying asked without hesitation.
The White Fox saw Bai Ying’s face smiling playfully like a child his age. He just shook his head.
“Heh, this kid, is there anything you think about more than that puny human? He doesn’t even deserve to be your guardian. And don’t call me old man, do I look that old? My name is Bai Hu, after all, how do you know who I am? Since when? This naughty brat”
Bai Ying smiled broadly. He pursed his lips. Thrusting the empty tea cup in front of the man asking him to refill it.
Bai Hu, the white fox-incarnated young man pursed his lips, finally took the cup from Bai Ying’s hand, and filled it with tea. Thrusting it back to Bai Ying.
“Rotten child, aren’t you afraid that I might be poisoning you?”
Bai Ying took the teacup happily. Looked at it for a while and took a sip.
“Ahhh, this is delicious, I guess Old man doesn’t need to use poison if you really wants to kill me, right? Ying er missed Yue Yang palace. Her Majesty the Queen’s tea also tastes more or less like this.”
“Rotten brat”
Bai Ying turned to Bai Hu, who was impatient to hear his answer, waiting with sharply raised eyebrows. Bai Ying smiled so widely that his eyes disappeared.
“Hehe, of course, I know, old man, we met in the world of Memory Coins back then, have you really forgotten that?” he asked.
Bai Hu narrowed his eyes.
“Yeah but I don’t look like that, I am the young master Su Li Ming who is very handsome and kind-hearted”
Bai Ying laughed at Bai Hu’s words. He nodded.
“Yeah, that’s true. At first, I never thought of Young Master Su at all. Until then, I saw you show yourself with my own eyes.”
Bai Ying remembered yesterday afternoon. As he was busy collecting firewood with Su Li Ming on the other side. The young man picked up a dry twig that had fallen from its branch and broke some of the dry branches of a nearby plant. Until accidentally his finger scratched a sharp branch.
“Ah!”
Blood dripped from his forefinger. His eyes shone as the green energy that emerged from his wound healed his finger without a trace. While his eyes were still shining, he looked at young master Su who was surprisingly radiant. The aura that the young man had was white and thick with shadows resembling an enormous tail on the back and pointed ears. Bai Ying covered his mouth. Almost screamed in shock.
“If it wasn’t for me healing my injured finger back then, maybe I wouldn’t have realized who you really were until now,” said Bai Ying.
Bai Hu looked at Bai Ying with narrowed eyes. The boy looks innocent from the outside, but inside he turns out to be quite cunning.
“And why don’t you fight and face me head-on? With the King Realm’s formidable ability, of course, it can at least overwhelm this old man, right? Don’t you miss that useless Crown Prince?” he asked.
Bai Ying cupped his chin with both hands. Looking away at the waterfall.
“Heh, actually want to, but, my goal is to find you, so, what’s difficult to follow your game, who knows that way you will help solve my problem. Then, do I pass your test, old man? Eh, pardon me, a very handsome and kind-hearted brother Bai Hu” he asked looking at Bai Hu’s pair of eyes with his beautiful eyes, blinking several times until finally, the white fox averted his eyes.
“You stinky brat”
The young fox, but old, Bai Hu raised his teacup and look at it while smiling.
“Heh, depends on how that stupid Crown Prince can find his way to come here. If he’s not coming until the next full moon, then you might have to say goodbye to him forever. That young man is not appropriate for owning you as a human, nor even as King of Realms. The ability he has is not even a match for the lowest God. You’re too good for him only. Then, why not just stay here and do anything you want whole hearty? I can give you whatever you want.” said the man looking at Bai Ying with his deeply serious eyes.
Bai Ying looks at the beautiful white fox for a long time. Pursed his lips and heavily sighed.
“Well, I don’t want everything, I just want to live forever with the Crown Prince, that’s why I’m traveling this far to find you. Em, so, when does the next full moon come, young master Bai Hu?” asked Bai Ying with big eyes looking at the beautiful young man.
Bai Hu took a whole sip of his tea and put the cup back on the table.
“Em, it’s tomorrow”
Hearing that Bai Ying widened his eyes, almost choking on the tea he just poured into his throat.
“Tomorrow? t-that is, too fast, isn’t it? Master Bai Hu, I think, you should give him more time, one day is not enough, he might even haven’t come here yet, the travel from Yue Yag to Li state at least took around five to six days, right?”
Bai Hu smirk, looking at Bai Ying with his face like that, which makes the young man feel hesitate on his own question.
“Is not it?”
