Chapter 24 Catch back!

“Your Majesty, the second prince… has gone out.” – From the outside hurriedly entered, the servant dressed in sweat did not dare to hesitate for a moment to announce.
Ling Guang was angry, put the teacup on the table, and the sound of glass clashing echoed throughout the room, attracting the attention of the remaining three kings, shouting:
“This kid just kept hiding and escaped! At all costs, must be caught here, wandering outside all day; I don't know what is out there that attracts it so much! Fast! Bring me back here.”
“Ling Guang, calm down. It's normal for children to enjoy outside; it’s boring to come back; you just let guard from afar is okay. My son was the same; when he was your son's age, he went out all day." – Liu Lin patted his shoulder to comfort him, smiling softly.
“Right, right. Ling Guang, don't be angry; it’s childish; it’s good to be hyperactive; come back at night. Ha ha.” – Kang Yu took a sip of tea while smiling.
Ling Guang could only sigh; he understood this was a consolation, but his heart was not secure about his son.
***
“Four beasts dare to escape?
“Hey man, who let you beat them? They are my people! If you want to fight, fight with me; come in and get food!" Ling Tian hurriedly ran in front of the armored dragon, preventing him from approaching the four enslaved people.
Not wanting to answer, the body emitted a terrible aura that swept everything around; the people were pushed and scattered, the scene was chaotic, and the furniture was shattered, but it was not for Ling Tian. It worked; he looked around for him to become like this, roared angrily, and raised his hands into fists to attack the opponent.
Surprised by the strength of this small body, he realized that this little dragon man was no ordinary person, but not because of that. He took out a terrible long rope whip from his belt to ignore the matter. Dragon forced inside and whipped around; no matter where the whip whipped, that place became a pile of rubble. Without pausing, he glanced at the four enslaved people who had just suffered, hiding behind the ruins and trembling in fear. Although he was stopped by Ling Tian, unable to approach the four people, he quickly transferred his dragon power to the whip and swung his arms around to strike. Unable to move his hand in time, Ling Tian could only hear the scream of pain, as if he had lost control; the scales from his hands grew densely stacked into armor with sharp claws, one hand raised to the sky to summon fierce lightning. Smashed to the ground, ruined more and more, and shouted angrily:
"They're my people; if you hit them, you'll hit me."
“Yours? Ridiculous, little dragon people hear this: they are slaves of our Southern Palace, of course, I have the right to teach them." – Saying that the whole body once again radiated dark power, the hair changed color, the armor seemed to give off a growl, retracted the long whip held in his hand, ready to fight.
Ling Tian stood in surprise for a few moments; this dark power was somewhat similar to what was sleeping in his body; his eyes narrowed, and his mouth mumbled:
“This guy… isn't like the dragon people I usually meet, including the father. It cannot be despised.”
"His Royal Highness, please stop… It's our fault; we shouldn't have escaped; please don't… don't harm this little dragon." – The situation of the two dragons about to fight is about to happen; realizing that this has gone too far, the four enslaved people, ignoring the wounds caused by the whip, crawled to their knees and begged.
“Beg me? Okay… I won't hit this kid. And you... Where are you? Keep them locked up. Eyeball? If you want to fight, see you another time, I have to teach these beasts."
"To go? Want to go? These people are my friends; whether you are slaves or whatever, you must tell me if you want to take them away!”
The tense atmosphere became tense; on the road, there was no longer a shadow of people, just a mess full of dirt. Suddenly, in the distance, he discovered the sound of marching, accompanied by the sound of horses moving quickly, using strength to push away from the city to see a familiar figure, gather strength, hide behind the enemy, and cross peeked out.
The army drew closer; the dragon man stopped at the forefront, stepped down from the steed, wore a sword at his belt, his body was covered with solid armor, knelt to salute, and said:
“Second Prince, His Majesty wants you to return to the palace immediately! Is this not…?”
"Uh uh... General Jun Yao... How do you know I'm here?" - Hide behind the sizeable back figure of the dragon in front of him, grabbing his tail to cover his face.
"General Jun Yao, long time no see. I don't know if this little dragon person is…?”
Jun Yao put on a solemn welcome and did not dare to be reckless: "His Royal Highness Kang Jun, this is the second prince of the East Palace – Ling Tian."
“Kang Jun? It turned out to be his name, now let go. Don't let my prince do it." - Being exposed, there is no need to hide anymore, but become bossy looking at him, shouting.
Kang Jun didn't say anything, but got on his horse, ordered the army to rearrange its ranks, and then headed to the Eastern Palace. The four enslaved people were tied up one after another and followed his steed; sore eyes looked at Ling Tian and wanted to chase but were prevented by Jun Yao, helplessly following the general back.
Sitting on the horse with Jun Yao, he sighed in frustration, hugged his horse, and lamented: "Heh Yao, who is he? How could he treat them like that?"
“Second Prince, that person is the son of the Southern King Kang Jun. They originally had a hobby of enslaving mortals. The fact that you escaped, His Majesty is furious. You should prepare to apologize to His Majesty, don't look for the other four enslaved people." - Neither fast nor slow to reply to Ling Tian, control the unicorn horse to move gently and slowly.
“Father is angry? Eh… It's open. What should we do?”
This time, there was no reply; despite his complaining, the army still returned to the Eastern Palace like that.
***
The tea party ended temporarily; after Kang Jun was welcomed by his
father in front of the palace gate, everyone went to their rooms to wait for the dinner to continue the meeting; this time, it was full of members, so tonight's meal was somewhat spiritual. In the palace, the maids and the eunuchs rushed in and out to pre; the tight began to be lit up brightly. Ling Guang returned to his room; in front of him was Ling Tian kneeling on the ground, and next to him was Jun Yao bowing his face in salute.
“Do you know what you did wrong?” – Coldly speaking, making the surrounding air seem to freeze outside, the dark clouds bring an accumulation of smoldering lightning flashes.
"It was me who went out on my own without asking anyone's permission." – The only person this naughty little dragon man is afraid of is his father, Ling Jie, Si Mei, standing next to him, is somewhat gloating because he has been too disruptive lately, leading to many problems. However, there’s still no way to stop him; it looks like he'll be scolded this time.
"What else?" – Ling Guang sat down on a detailed wooden chair, his hands resting on the table.
"It's over!" - I don't know how he was able to restore his happy state so quickly; his face returned to the dragon boy full of life, relaxed spirit.
Ling Guang angrily slammed the table, gritted his teeth, and asked: "Is it over? What about the fact that I caused trouble with other people's children?"
"Huh? Ah…is that stupid dragon? It's because he touched your body first."
“Ling Tian! You are too much; dare to call others stupid? If you want a slave, I will immediately find one for you; absolutely must not have any relationship with those people anymore." - Shouting to create a terrible wind that shook the whole room, Ling Tian still maintained an innocent face and asked again: "What slave? I don't need them; I like them."
"What do you like? You don't know what love is right now; I will punish you for a month not to step out of the Eastern Palace. If you cause trouble again, this king will hit you with his own hands."
The first time he heard violent words from his father, he was shocked; tears flowed as he said: "Father is a fierce man!" he then stood up and cried, tears running down his nose.
Knowing that he didn't say these words, he was not afraid, but he thought about what he had done to his son before; he wanted to take back his words, and he also wanted to sigh, looking at his youngest son, who was crying loudly, struggling on the ground.
***
The dinner party was full of members from the four clans, but except for Ling Tian, after his father's threat, he was scared and couldn't stop crying; he just stayed in the room and refused to come out, although his body was Men are mature compared to humans because they were preserved during the time in an ice coffin but still show signs of development, while the dragon soul is still asleep, waking up still only a five-year-old child.
Ling Guang couldn't help but come to dinner, but his heart was still restless, so he ordered the palace maid to bring dinner to him. Ling Jie and Si Mei clearly understood his concern, and both looked at each other helplessly.
Suddenly, Kang Jun took the initiative to hold a glass cup containing the red fermented liquid in his hand and raised it: "Thank you, His Majesty the King, for organizing this meeting; on behalf of the king, invite everyone to raise a glass. "
"Ling Jie, this afternoon, Ling Tian told me he met this guy, from xiao Tian's story, he seems to be very fierce, why is he now like a different person?" – Si Mei kicked his leg, using spiritual force to transmit sound into her husband's ear.
"I heard he is also a master in our dragon world, but no one has seen his true strength, so we need to be on guard."
“What are you two muttering about? Hurry up and have a meal, then come back and see how Ling Tian is?" – Ling Guang, the party’s chairman, voiced a reminder.
"Now that I've noticed, I don't see your son, Ling Guang?" – Kang Yu took a sip of wine, looked around the dining table, smiled, and asked.
“Father, that little dragon is most likely afraid of me. Hahaha! What a naughty little brat.” – Kang Jun shot a sharp look at Ling Jie and his wife, spitting a sentence mocking the opponent.
Si Mei wanted to get up and give him a lesson, but Ling Jie held his hand tightly; she looked at her husband, and he shook his head to signal, angrily sitting down to hold chopsticks.
"Again, the young man of the Ming Dynasty lost the competition with the little dragon man; it seems that he doesn't have much talent; that little dragon man only has a little power to scare people, now he doesn't even dare to show his face. Hahaha!” – Letting go of another provocative sentence, Kang Jun poured himself a glass of wine and a cup and put it on his lips to take a sip.
Ling Jie clenched his fists white; if it weren’t for the meeting of the dragon kings, he would have given this guy a beating for insulting his brother. What surprised everyone, Ling Guang had maintained a calm posture since then, he did not say a word despite insults to his little prince, and Luu Lam gnashed his teeth; Ming Jun and Ming Rui angrily smashed the table but were looked at by her father's eyes, had to swallow her anger inside, not wanting to let the meeting lose the atmosphere, Liu Lin spoke to dispel the tension, everyone's face was strained. Force the party to continue.
***
Refusing the food brought by the palace maids, Ling Tian, after crying in disgust, continued to go out of the room to look for the enslaved people and looked back and forth but found no sign of him. Quickly thinking about the location of Kang Jun's private room, he hurriedly went there, stealthily avoiding the guards from searching the entire campus.
“Nowhere, where could he lock them up?”
Walking around the garden in front of the guest room, four familiar figures tied up high in an iron cage quickly ran over. Both hands were tied high; feet did not touch the ground, the body was not clothed with whip wounds that were still bleeding, and each person's legs were broken, and it is estimated that four people had just undergone brutal torture; Ling Tian wanted to cry, reached into the iron cage, touched the enslaved person, and asked in a low voice:
“Wei Xiong, you… are you still alive?”
The four of them, from their delirium, opened their eyes in pain and opened their eyes to look outside; recognizing that it was the little dragon man from earlier; all four happily replied:
“Little prince, we… it's okay. Why are you here?”
“I… I… came to save you.”
