Chapter 567: Snow on the Desk of the Infatuated Alliance Leader (171)
The day after the end of the Fire Festival.
Xiao Na searched through the Jinsha Pavilion from top to bottom, but couldn't find Bai Chao anywhere.
She thought Bai Chao was out having sex with the alliance leader again, but then a servant came to report that the guests from the Central Plains had left early that morning.
Upon hearing the news, Xiao Na suddenly had a bad feeling.
"They're gone? Didn't they say they were going to borrow the Sacred Gu again?"
Servant: "Um... the Holy Son has already taken the Holy Gu away."
Xiao Na's lips twitched: "What about the Holy Son?"
"They've left too..."
Xiaona: “…”
Good heavens, our base has been raided!
They thought their Holy Son had captivated the Alliance Leader so much that he wouldn't want to leave the Western Regions, but they never expected that it was the Alliance Leader who had abducted their Holy Son!
Xiao Na took a deep breath: "Did the Holy Son say anything?"
"Have!"
"What did you say?"
"The Holy Son said... the Divine Eagle recognizes people, so he'll take it along for a trip to the Central Plains."
Xiaona: “…”
Damn it! That bastard leader stole all their sacred artifacts from the Western Regions!!!
The sun is shining high.
A camel bell rang out from afar.
A white camel led the way, followed by a dozen or so horses.
In the Central Plains, everyone rides a horse.
There were only two people sitting together on the camel in front.
But none of the people behind him found it strange.
Because they've gotten used to it.
Protector Mo grabbed the water pouch and took a big gulp.
"Are we almost there?"
"Yes, the border is just ahead."
Bai Chao glanced at the sky, put his finger to his lips, and whistled.
A white-feathered golden eagle swooped down and landed on Bai Chao's arm.
Bai Chao stroked the golden eagle's feathers: "Once we enter the city, we won't be able to eat gerbils anymore. Go and catch a few more to satisfy your craving."
The golden eagle cried out, then flapped its wings and flew away quickly.
Protector Mo asked curiously, "Holy Son, doesn't the Divine Eagle need anyone to feed it?"
Bai Chao took off the scarf he used to protect himself from the wind and sand: "No need, it will fill its own stomach."
Jing Hengzhou handed the opened water bag to Bai Chao: "Drink."
Bai Chao took a sip from Jing Hengzhou's hand, then nudged Jing Hengzhou, urging him to drink as well.
Protector Mo touched his nose, turned around, and rode off to stay with his companions.
Throughout the journey, the Alliance Leader took meticulous care of the Holy Son, and their intimate gestures were evident.
Some people couldn't hold back and secretly asked the leader what his relationship was with the Holy Son, and as expected, they got the answer they were looking for.
His companion winked at Protector Mo: "See, I told you so. The Alliance Leader knows what the Holy Son wants just by raising his hand."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
"I never would have guessed that the Alliance Leader's beloved is a man."
"I'm sure a lot of girls will be heartbroken when they get back."
"Ha ha ha ha."
They soon arrived at the border.
The surrounding scenery and architecture have also changed to resemble the customs of the Central Plains.
After entering the city, Jing Hengzhou led them to an inn. He booked several superior rooms for them to rest for a while.
Bai Chao and Jing Hengzhou still shared a room.
However, Jing Hengzhou was not in the room; instead, he had gone out to discuss matters with his subordinates.
After taking a bath in his room, Bai Chao felt a bit bored and went out for a walk.
They had only walked a few steps when they encountered Elder Xin.
Elder Xin bowed and said, "I didn't have time to thank you before, but thank you for being willing to personally bring the Gu worms to help me."
Bai Chao accepted the gift readily, saying, "You're too kind."
"I wonder if the Holy Son is resting well? Is he comfortable in his room in the Central Plains?"
"..." Bai Chao looked Elder Xin up and down: "Elder Xin, please speak your mind."
Elder Xin stroked his beard, his expression solemn: "Holy Son, the Central Plains is not as open as the Western Regions. Some people may offend you. They are narrow-minded and do not mean any harm. I hope you will forgive them."
Heterochromatic eyes, white hair.
An ordinary person might mistake it for a monster.
Because Bai Chao wore a veil when he entered the city, no one noticed anything strange about him. But once he takes off the veil, some people might not be able to keep their mouths shut and would definitely offend Bai Chao.
Bai Chao laughed: "It's alright, I can cut off the heads of those who offend me."
The gleaming crescent-shaped scimitar spun once in mid-air before swiftly retracting into its lower back.
Elder Xin was sweating profusely.
"This...this..."
"Ahem... Holy Son, in our Central Plains, we can't just behead people like this..."
Bai Chao gave an indifferent "oh".
"..."
