Soon, the magical beasts arrived at the Keban kingdom within a few hours. Because the magical beasts were class 2 magical beasts, they were fast to arrive at their destination; if they were lower-class magical beasts, they wouldn't be able to get there as quickly now.The magical beasts landed inside the courtyard of the royal palace, and soldiers were stationed at the gate, monitoring and guarding the gate to prevent any intruder from entering the palace.Immediately after the magical beasts landed on the ground, they all jumped down from the back of the beasts, except Lui, who was still unconscious.The four guards walked forward and then carried Lui from the back of the magical beasts."Go keep him in the same guard room where Chem has been kept," Lu Shang ordered the four guards before walking with Yin Deng at his side inside the palace.The four guards all bowed to the words of Lu Shang before moving in the opposite direction, where the guard rooms were.Directly entering the thr
Chen hit Lui, trying to wake him from his deep slumber. He kept on trying until he eventually succeeded in waking him up.Lui woke up from his unconscious state, but at first the person he was seeing in front of him was blurry and not clear. After some seconds, he could now see the person who was bending down in front of him.Lui stood up and stretched his body; a cracking sound resounded from every bone in his body. Chen, who was now standing shoulder to shoulder with Lui, looked into Lui's eyes."What happened, and how were you captured?" Chen asked after a while of remaining silent and looking at Lui.Lui just stood there, looking at Chen as if he were seeing him for the first time."Say something," Chen said again, not hearing anything from Lui after a short moment. "What is wrong with Lui? Why is he looking at me strangely, as if I am a terrorist to him? Chen thought it through.Lui opened his mouth to say something but closed it again without saying anything. He was frustrated a
Dragging Lui into the throne room, where everyone was waiting for his arrival,Entering the throne, everyone's eyes were on him, as if he were a terrorist they wanted executed.Standing in front of the king, he fell down after the guard left him; he was so weak that he couldn't stand properly. He had no strength anymore in his body; he hadn't been treated like this since he was born, but now the almighty prince was at the mercy of another kingdom, such an embarrassing and shameful thing for a person of his standard."Lui, how are you doing? I hope you weren't tortured or beaten by the people who captured you." The king, who was sitting on the throne, was looking weakly at Lui, who was on the floor.Hearing what had been said to him by the king, he slowly and weakly turned his face to look at the king. He knew that he was indirectly twisting the original question into one that would make it seem like he cared for him. There was hidden intent in the words of the king. He didn't reply to
Lui was returned to the guard room after the king and everyone had said what they wanted to say.All they have to do now is plan for their next move. Lu Shang told them about his plan, and everybody was amazed at his idea and immediately agreed to it.The king assigned a maid to take care of Yin Deng's every need. Yin Deng was brought to a wonderful and luxurious room that was big enough for ten people to stay.He was happy, enjoying the life of royalty, so this is what royalty looks like and tastes like; these thoughts run through his mind."Young master, when you are in need of me or you want anything, you can send for me. I already have things to be busy with," the maid said, bowing in a polite manner to Yin Deng."Okay. I will surely send for you when there is anything I want," Yin Deng said to the maid.The maid bowed and went out of the room, leaving Yin Deng alone to enjoy his stay. Yin Deng quickly took his bath and then freshened up. After taking his bath, he felt refreshed a
In a dimly lit room deep within the palace, this was one of the secrets of the palace that most people don't know about. The air smelled heavy with the scent of incense, and the sound of a slow, rhythmic wave of bleeze blew from the room. The walls were lined with dark, ominous carvings of mythological creatures and ancient symbols, and the floor was covered in a thick layer of black sand that felt soft and cold beneath the soles of your feet.In the centre of the room, there was a high, ornately decorated platform, and upon it sat a large, heavy metal table with chains for holding the victims wrists, ankles, and across the chest. Different guards who were in hoods were standing at different angles in the room, all standing, some carrying blades, whips, or other sharp instruments.The air was thick with the feeling of impending danger, as though the very walls themselves were alive with a malevolent energy that seemed to be waiting, silently and patiently, for its turn at someone's me
"I know it's not going to be easy, but trust me, I have plans to bring down the king without much difficulty. What I just need is to gain all the guards trust, and I will be able to accomplish it," Lu Shang said as he dropped the sword back to where he took it from.Lu Shang signalled to the guards, who immediately came forward and then released Chen from the chain used to bound him to the wall.Chen fell to the ground instantly, and he was set free."Take him out of here and then take care of him, treat his injuries, and make sure they use the most effective medicine to make his wounds heal faster and make a quick recovery," Lu Shang commanded the guards before directly walking out of the torture room.after he is done with his business and what he has to do. He found his way down to the room his mom was occupying.Arriving in front of the room, he could hear two voices talking and laughing as they discussed something; these two were his mom and the queen. He smiled before opening th
They spent the whole time together until it was deep into the night. Lu Shang carried her in a romantic way back to her room, he stayed with her in her room, singing a slow and romantic music for her make her happy. The memories of that day made her her happy and filled her heart with love.Few minutes later she slept off with a lovely smile on her face, she had travelled to the Dreamland, looking at her face and caressing her face with a smile on his face.Lu Shang stood up and then walked towards the door, getting to the door, he turned back taking a glance once more at her before he opened and leave her room. As Lu Shang quietly closed the door behind him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment. The evening had been magical, and seeing her fall asleep with a smile filled his heart with warmth.Walking down the dimly lit hallway, Lu Shang's mind was flooded with memories of their time together. He replayed the moments they had shared—their laughter, their conversations, a
The Yuan kingdom loomed in the distance, its vast landscape stretching out before Lu Shang and his team as they soared through the air on the backs of the magical beasts. The wind whipped against their faces, carrying a mix of anticipation and determination.Lu Shang surveyed the surroundings, his eyes scanning the horizon for any signs of potential obstacles or threats. He knew that the journey to the Yuan kingdom wouldn't be easy. It was a land known for its treacherous terrain and formidable warriors. But he was prepared to face whatever challenges awaited them. It was a task that required not only skill and strategy but also stealth and a keen sense of timing.Lost in thought, Lu Shang's gaze shifted to Chen, who sat beside him on the magical beast. Chen's determination was evident in his eyes; his focus was unyielding. He had come a long way since his injury, and Lu Shang trusted him to be a valuable asset to the team.Chen nodded with a determined look on his face. "I am Lu Shan
