"Answer me."
"Why should I answer you when you don't have the courtesy to tell me your name, young man. How about I answer one of your questions for your name?"
"Are you negotiating? I can rip your arms and limbs apart you see." Yu Long brought his sword closer to XiYi's throat, the tip almost piercing into the skin. Blood started appearing at the tip of the sword. But XiYi was nonchalant. He continued with his playful behavior.
"Actually dear young man, I am more stubborn than you. If you want to know what happened you got to tell me your name. So simple, isn't it?" XiYi laughed out.
"There is no one in this forest other than me. So no one knows about the hideout where your Uncle's body lay, except for me. So do you have a deal here?"
Thinking that no one was there in the Iron forest except him, meant that the person. to take down all the guards was XiYi. If XiYi singlehandedly did so, he was too strong. If it's true, XiYi shouldn't be someone Yu Long should mess with. The thought of XiYi being too powerful explained his playful attitude in such a situation. This idea made him shudder.
"Yu...Lo..." He stuttered while he was still in deep thought.
"Yu Lo?? Is that your name?"
"It's Yu Long. Now answer me." said Yu Long fuming.
" Woooooo...Yu Long." XiYi laughed for a moment before continuing. "So you are the Prince of Qinshen? I heard a lot about your beauty. People sing about your beauty outside your kingdom. It is said, 'Yu Long is the most beautiful person in the all the kingdoms.' Seems like it is the truth."
"That didn't answer my question." Saying so, Yu Long pulled back his sword now to stab the person in front of him. It was embarrassing being known for your beauty and not for deeds. He wasn't a woman. He was a man. He was red-faced, with anger and shame. Seeing this as a chance to break free, XiYi immediately broke the spell and lunged forward, seeing an opening, grabbed both the arms of the prince. Yu Long unable to bear such a sudden thrust, took a step back. Unable to hold his balance his and XiYi's weight, he fell with a thud. The sword fell off his hands during all the action. He was pinned down onto the ground by the intruder.
Yu Long couldn't believe he was in such a position. He was embarrassed to such an extend that he started kicking XiYi's stomach with his knee. But it worsened the whole situation. XiYi immediately brought both of his knees and pinned his thighs.
This caused Yu Long a sudden pain in the thighs leading him to gasp for air.
"Get off me. You are a liar. You tricked me."
" Dear Prince, how can act so cute in front of your enemy? Well, it is a good thing that your opponent is me. It affects me. Hahaha....I have taken a liking for you. So how about I make you my captive for life?"
Saying so he bent down, kissing his captive's neck. This passed a chill down the captive's spine.
He whispered in his ear, "Isn't this prince really mischievous, coming to the battle field with no protection or guard?"
On hearing these words, Long cursed himself in his mind. XiYi was right. He shouldn't have underestimated and just run into a trap. He made a grave mistake. He should have listened to his father and brother. He was selfish and now he has to pay.
Yu Long closed his eyes and let out a gasp. He was in trouble and he didn't know when will the help arrive. When he opened his eyes he say XiYi's eyes were glowing red. It was mesmerizing and breathtakingly beautiful. He had never seen these eyes before. He had heard very strong cultivators could use magic without any spells or chants. It is said their eyes glowed to show when they did so. It was so rare that he had not much knowledge about them. But seeing someone's black pupils turning red in front of him, confirmed that the guy was out of his league.
