The Thirteenth Prince gazed about with his large, liquid-black eyes. He appeared unaware as to the significance of today. With a certain neediness, his plump hands clung onto Imperial Consort Lian Yi’s clothing.
Xing Lou gazed upon the clueless Thirteenth Prince and raised his hand slightly. Using his finger, he gently tapped the s.p.a.ce between the brows of the Thirteenth Prince. A faint glow spread from Xing Lou’s finger onto the prince’s entire body. The little prince was exceptionally well-behaved and obediently kept still. He just blinked and surveyed the glowing light surrounding him, making intermittent garbled sounds with his little mouth.
A while later, the light was absorbed into the Thirteenth Prince’s body and the blessing ceremony ended.
Having witnessed the whole procedure, Ji Fengyan still could not understand what had actually happened. She had sensed Xing Lou emitting a surge of warm energy that was gradually absorbed by the Thirteenth Prince. It all seemed very mystical, but from Ji Fengyan’s point of view…
This entire thing felt like a bit of a sham.
From what she understood about blessings, the pract.i.tioner giving the blessing should impart part of his own spiritual energy to the person receiving the blessing. In some ways, it was to guide the destiny of the receiver toward the path of happiness, wealth, and longevity—to let him endure less pain and illness in life.
When Ji Fengyan was a young child, her Master and Grandmaster had blessed quite frequently her, but it was just a way to dispel bad luck and sickness.
Xing Lou’s actions were like that of her Master and Grandmaster’s, but… the resulting effect felt somewhat lacking.
Just as Ji Fengyan was mulling over this weird blessing, the Thirteenth Prince’s gaze suddenly landed on the ‘bald eaglet’ beside her. That tiny palm-sized figure immediately caught the attention of the Thirteenth Prince and he instantly reached out his plump white hands, cooing.
“Ah… ah…”
The Emperor of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon was amid thanking Xing Lou when he noticed the strange behavior of his son. Following the Thirteenth Prince’s line of sight, he saw Ji Fengyan and that comical-looking bald eaglet.
