The sun was setting in the west.

The pleasure boats on the river gradually dispersed, and the horizon was dyed red.

Ye Jingtang was standing in a river pavilion and using his fingers as a saber. He slowly pondered over the saber technique his foster father had taught him.

The bird raised its claws to the sky and used the bushes as a rocking chair. It lay on the leaves and swayed as it hummed a tune leisurely. “Chirp- Chirp-”

At noon, he came to wait for the Prince of Jing to summon him. He thought that, just like before, he would only have to wait for a moment. He didn’t expect to wait from noon to the afternoon.

Although the wait was a little long, it wasn’t boring. The Prince of Jing was quite considerate. After lunch, she even arranged for a beautiful palace maid to be a tour guide and allowed him to visit the scenery around Clear Water Villa,

Clear Water Villa was a famous scenic spot in Yun Province. It was said that the Dragon Cleansing Pool inside had the miraculous effect of maintaining and beautifying the appearance, but those who weren’t royalty couldn’t come here at all.

Ye Jingtang was lucky enough to visit. He originally wanted to go to the Dragon Cleansing Pool to take a look, but the female tour guide refused. He didn’t know why.

When it was almost dark, Ye Jingtang felt sorry for the palace maid who had accompanied him for a long time, so he went to the river pavilion to rest and ponder over saber techniques.

Not long after, footsteps came from the villa at the back.

He looked back and saw the Prince of Jing, who was dressed in a silver python robe, walking our of the villa with a procession of maids in colorful clothes.

The Prince of Jing had a supermodel-like figure, and she was a head taller than the gentle palace maids behind her. Her legs were long, so her strides were naturally large. The accompanying palace maids had to trot to keep up. As she walked, the extremely eye-catching fat dragon shone brightly under the rays of the sun, and the waves were undulating. Coupled with her calm and dignified appearance, she looked very imposing, like a noble and aloof young queen… It seemed like she was a proper queen to begin with, and she just didn’t have a fief.

Ye Jingtang didn’t size up her figure. Keeping his gaze straight, he walked out of the river pavilion and cupped his hands from afar. “Greetings Come back!”

Before he could finish bowing, he saw the bird lying in the flowers flip over and flap its wings to land in front of Dongfang Liren. It raised its head and looked at Sister Fat-Headed Dragon with its bright black eyes. It opened its beak to beg for food. When it heard Ye Jingtang1 s voice, it even turned its head 100 degrees. “Chirp-”

Dongfang Liren walked to the lawn. Seeing the bird blocking her way, she raised her hand and hooked it, letting rhe bird land on her arm. While walking, she tilted her head and sized it up. “This snow eagle is really good-looking. It’s just that its bloodline isn’t pure, and it’s a little fat. What is its name?”

Ye Jingtang approached and took the bird. “It’s called White King. It likes to freeload, so I casually gave it a name.”

Freeload… This was the first time Dongfang Liren heard this term. But seeing the intention in the word, she felt it meant not paying after prostituting’. It wasn’t a good word.

Dongfang Liren didn’t say anything about this to Ye Jingtang. She raised her hand slightly and took a saber with a green jade sheath from a palace maid. “This name is too vulgar. You’re mistreating such a beautiful bird. What do you think of changing its name to Noble Consort Snow?”

“Chirp! ” The bird generously expressed: As long as you feed me, you can even call me the Kitchen God.

Ye Jingtang would never accept this name. He followed Dongfang Liren to the river bank. “As long as Your Highness is happy. Your saber looks…”

“This saber is called ‘Qing Yi’. It’s a saber that the old master of the Water Cloud Sword Pool made for me. Although it’s not one of the top ten famous sabers in Jianghu, its craftsmanship is even better.”

Dongfang Liren handed the saber to Ye Jingtang. “I will lend it to you to observe.”
