His location was revealed by the spiritual strength of the man leading the procession; he was surrounded by armor-clad relatives, holding weapons close to his body. Forcibly dragged in front of the man who had just released the spiritual force, gnashing his teeth and not yielding, shouted, “ Leave me alone; who are you to arrest someone so blatantly? I say that dragon king!!! Let me go!!!”
The half-smiling man stepped down from the horned horse and approached him, whose hands were fixed on both sides, forced to kneel on the ground. Looking at him for a long time, the man looks old; his hair has changed a few strands, his horns and tail are the same blues, his eyes are brown, and he speaks with long fangs:
“I want to see how you tell the dragon king about this. Snooping like a mouse, the king hasn't killed you yet, but you still want to denounce me? Today is a happy day for Ling Guang; the king forgives you; now get out!"
The whole army continued towards the Eastern Palace, leaving him behind, humiliated; Ling Tian's face darkened, and he rushed to the roof to wait for the military to go away and took out the wooden sling that Ling Jie gave to him, aimed at the person who just swam over there and shot. No one dares to compete for number one in the East Palace; even his father has to admit this ability; thanks to this unique talent, the metal bullet quickly hits the "target.” afraid of being exposed, so he rushed to the meeting place earlier with Si Mei." Ling Tian, I'm back-"
“Sister, run!” – Without letting Si Mei finish his sentence, he landed on the ground so hard that the dust around him flew everywhere, grabbed her arm, and pulled her, and they both ran.
After successfully running and selling life and death to the main gate of the East Palace, Ling Tian looked ahead and looked back to confirm that the group of people did not chase them before he dared to breathe, and Si Mei returned to the palace. Since his son woke up, Ling Guang's mood was perfect every day; after his lunch break, he went to the royal garden that Liu Wu used to take care of when he was alive to see and be surprised to see his son. The son and daughter-in-law returned earlier than expected, wondering:
“Ling Tian, Si Mei… Coming back so early? What is going on?"
"Your Majesty, it's the second prince -" - Without letting her finish her sentence, Ling Tian hurriedly covered her mouth with his hand, nervously explaining: "Father, I missed you, so I left early. "
“Remember me? It seems that I shouldn't let you go out early; you are not yet mature enough for a dragon; if you go out without me, it must be difficult, come here." – With his large body, lifting Ling Tian's whole body into his lap is a trivial matter. Si Mei bewilderedly looked at the father and son; she was still confused about why Ling Tian would act like that.
Breaking the happy atmosphere of paternity was his faithful servant, hurriedly approaching from afar to respectfully salute, not daring to delay to report:
“Your Majesty, the Northern King has arrived! Waiting for you at the main gate of the East Palace!"
Ling Guang nodded, released Ling Tian's messy hair, then strode towards the main gate to welcome guests. Seeing his figure go away, Si Mei inched closer to the second prince and staggered to stroke his hair; the more he stroked his hair, the more confused he became; he couldn't help but ask:
“What was it like then? Why did you leave? Quickly give me a suitable explanation, or else..." - Pausing for a moment to think, he glanced at Ling Tian, who was still looking at the lake in the garden, to correct his hair and continued: "If not... I won't lead you. I go out to play again!!!”
“Well… I… I shot someone with a slingshot; he seemed to have a very high position… was… was… king. That's right; he calls himself king!"
“Don’t… don’t… tell me you shot at the Northern King!” – Si Mei's forehead was sweaty, stammering, and speechless.
“I don't know which side he is the king of. It looked so obnoxious, so I took it down; you have to see that I shot very well at that time, from a distance, and still hit the target. Hahaha!” – Satisfied answer, hands on hips, laughing.
Si Mei didn't know what to answer then; her small and beautiful hand stroked her face, sighing, looking at the carefree boy in front of her. Hearing mighty footsteps coming from behind, both of them turned their faces; it was Ling Guang's bodyguard; the stern eyes of a soldier respectfully reported:
"The crown prince, the second prince, your majesty, please invite the two of you to the reception room."
Si Mei gulped and turned to look at Ling Tian; the two looked at each other, strolling. Finally reached the large reception room of the Eastern Palace, used only to welcome the king's noble guests on the walls were inlaid with iridescent jewels, the floor was lined with gold, covered with high-class fur carpets above, and the trees. The column is finely sculpted, enough to prove which guests are eligible for Ling Guang to use this room for the reception. In the middle of the room is a long table made of solid gold; on the table are countless rare and precious dishes; in the middle is Ling Guang, opposite him is Ming Shan - the king of the North, on either side are the children. Aristocratic-looking boys and girls respectfully raised their wine glasses towards Ling Guang and invited them.
From the outside, it was announced that the two of them were present, Ling Tian hurriedly hid behind a large pillar, and Ling Guang stood up to approach the two and introduced them to the distinguished guests:
"Ming Shan, this is my second son: Ling Tian; you also know about my family; the boy just returned to life. What are you hiding for?... And this is Si Mei, the wife of Ling Jie. Hahaha!!!” – Laughing for a while, he continued: “It is my turn to introduce my children.”
“Hehe, your son is too young. Otherwise, we would be married. Come here; this is the eldest son of the Ming clan, Ming Jun; his strength must be said to have developed very early; 3 years in a row is the only one who is unknown at the tournament of our Northern dragon warriors. Haha!!! And this is the princess of the North Palace, Ming Rui; the older she gets, the more beautiful she looks like her mother. Quickly! Don't hurry to salute the Eastern King!"
Ling Tian moved from the house column to hide behind his father, secretly looking at the face of the distinguished guest, his hands clinging to his shirt; his actions attracted Ling Guang's surprise, looking down from his large body. The youngest son also thought this was his shy act in front of strangers and asked:
“How are you? Are you afraid to see a beautiful woman? Hahaha!!!”
As soon as he finished his sentence, all eyes of Ming Shan's family were focused on him, realizing that this was the "naughty" guy who shot rocks at the king of the North, making him the laughing stock of his subordinates. And Ming Jun and Ming Rui whispered and laughed, not thinking of the name "big mouth" earlier, now shyly hid behind their father.
Angry but unable to speak out, unable to win against a child, Ming Shan glared at him, scared but unwilling to give up; Ling Tian frowned to drop his eyes, sticking out his tongue to provoke him further. Ling Guang saw his son's disrespectful behavior and tapped his head.
Giving space for the two kings to talk, the juniors retreated; Ming Rui had rarely seen such a small dragon and couldn't help but burst into tears, asking Ling Tian to take her for a walk. Of course, Ling Tian did not agree; he never wanted to listen to anyone's orders, even if his father always did the opposite of his request. Lazy laziness Ming Rui then flew away; Si Mei had to apologize to the neighboring princess on behalf of the neighboring princess and then fled this place myself.
Ling Tian landed in the royal garden just now; Si Mei was panting because she rushed here; she angrily pinched his cheeks with both hands:
"See what I'm doing? It's not enough to cause trouble with Ming Shan but also to cause trouble with his daughter? Do you know how the world rumors the princess?"
“It hurts… Let go!!! That's hurt!" – Both hands stroked his red cheeks, felt it swell, and continued: "How's the rumor?"
“As that female monster of the North, her strength is no different from her brother's. Haiz… Speaking of strength, I'm not an opponent either."
Ling Tian stroked his cheeks, was silent for a while and then shouted:
“Just power! Still lost to the older man!!!!! Chickens!!!!”
Si Mei was startled, covered his mouth, and rebuked:
“What's wrong with you? Suddenly screaming so loud? I was shocked, they couldn't hear me, but I wasted my words like that. I lost the mood of the outing. Haiz!!! It's all because of you!!!!!”
“I am stronger than them. No need to fear! Go, get out!” – As soon as he finished his sentence, he pulled Si Mei's hand and flew out of the city, continuing to explore outside.
***
At the lavish guest rooms in the Eastern Palace…
Ming Rui yawned up and down lazily after a long trip; Ming Jun walked in and saw his sister's lifeless appearance, shaking his head in frustration; it didn't look like a princess of the North at all:
"Or you can go out and have fun; you’ve been on the road all day."
"Then I tell the king to help me; I’ll go out for a bit; I’ll be back before dinner." – Stand up and stretch, take off the traditional dress of the Northern Palace, revealing a long blue tail, striding out. Ming Jun nodded; seeing his sister's figure walking away, he visited the garden.
Like Ling Tian and his sisters, Ming Rui came out of the city to explore the people's lives in this eastern kingdom, wanting to buy some souvenirs for the close maids who were not allowed to accompany the palace or boasted to the men who flirted with her all day. Ling Tian left hand holding cotton candy, right hand holding a few skewers of fragrant grilled meat, inhaling the aroma of fish being grilled on a crude charcoal oven in front of his eyes, his ears moved to hear a familiar voice from afar; he easily immediately recognize who the opponent is.
It is true that "the soul is not dispersed" Ling Tian angrily put all the food in his mouth, ignoring further, but Ming Rui quickly toured closer to him, walking while looking at the wrist he was wearing. Stone jewelry bracelet only found in this place, behind her were two bodyguards selected from the elite army of the Northern Palace, soon the two encountered each other.
"Little dragon, unexpectedly, just rejecting me, you ran out here to play."
"I'm 21 years old; I’m grown!"
"Dragon people live for a thousand years, you're 21 years old, you're like a baby just born; I’ve also heard about the Ling family, tsk tsk, just came back to life and talked like that, no wonder Ling Guang didn't want to let You go out, afraid that his treasure will cause harm."
“I'm stronger than you, you chicken!"
Angered by the humiliation, Ling Tian pretended to talk back and forth, deliberately choosing the topic of strength to provoke her. Ming Rui, with a proud face, turned gray, gritted her teeth, and asked again because she was previously considered a princess with the same strength as her brother:
“What did you say? If it's good, we'll have a match!"
"I don't hit women; you’re still a chicken!"
No matter what he said, Ling Tian maintained his answer that he didn't want to touch women and suppressed the anger about to rise; his hands clenched, Ming Rui thought of his brother as the strongest junior. The Northern Kingdom, of course, can easily defeat the Little Dragon in front of their eyes, having the opportunity to show off their strength for the Eastern Palace to admire; her eyes glared at Ling Tian and roared:
"Come on, you say you're not a woman, then fight my brother; if you beat my brother, I'll immediately admit you're stronger than me."
Ling Tian did not hesitate, nodded rapidly, still showing the expression to provoke the opponent, and then ran away. And the princess of the North ordered the two bodyguards to return to prepare for the competition.
