Chapter 3 (2/2)

Going back to his room, after washing clean, he was already sleepy to the state of being upside down, so unable to pain over the loss of the thousand-year snow lotus, he fell asleep already.

At the time, Ye Xiang was hunting with a group of people.

The hot day had a group of people crying out to the heavens. Ye Xiang was also soaked in sweat, but still pursuing to hunt after the lion without giving up.

Chen Shu, the second son of the Anguo-gong 10 Manor complained loudly, “Ye Xiang, are you still human? It’s been an hour, are you done yet? Do you want us to die of heat?”

Shen Qi, the son of Jingyang-Hou Manor11, also shouted “Ye Xiang, you have this fierceness, you should go to the border, the Northern Zhou’s shitty second prince can not be your opponents.”

The Ping-jun Manor’s Xiao Jun-wang, 12 Qi Shu also could not take it, and joined in the uproar, “I”m not playing anymore! He slept for three months, and now he is full of energy. Even we play til tomorrow, all of us together can’t win him.”

“So, are we seven admitting defeat?”

The three men heard and all turned to look at him and shouted in unison. “Not admitting defeat, then you go at it!”

Liu Yan, wiped off the sweat and shook his head, “Dying from the heat.”

The three looked at the other people.

The others were also too hot, motioning with their hands and shaking their heads.

“Than we’ll admit defeat.” Chen Shu used his sleeves to shield from the burning sun over his head, and said with annoyance, “Ye Xiang that a bastard, he offered to pay at the teahouse, but didn’t expect in the end, it’s us seven that pays the bill for him.”

Qi Shu hit his head, “Yah, we each lost a thousand gold to him, seven people together lost seven thousand gold. So, him insisting to come hunting and put down a hunting bet was for this purpose.”

“Too inhumane!” Shen Qi also came to a realization, “Seven thousand gold don’t say pay for one day of tea, can pay to drink ten days of tea with commoners of the Imperial City lining up ten rounds wouldn’t drink up so much money. I’m kind of broke lately, had I known, I wouldn’t gamble with him.”

“Too late.” Liu Yan was also regretful.

At this time, Ye Xiang had already captured the lion who could not move. He looked at the seven people full of spirit and asked proudly. “Are you all sure about admitting defeat?”

The seven men looked at him and gritted their teeth.

“Not convinced? Then come again, don’t say up til that tomorrow, even the day after tomorrow, Shi-zi, I have the energy.” Ye Xiang said.

The seven quickly deflated, waving their hands in unison, “Consider us defeated.”

Ye Xiang laughed and let go of the lion. The lion was not injured, but he was already tired and could not run. After he let go, he lies on the ground, looking at him with grief.

Laying on the horse, Ye Xiang glanced at the lion, and slowly said, “I am a Shi-zi, you are a lion 13, we can’t count as a family. How about you follow me in the future?” The

The lion suddenly stood up and rubbed against the horse’s leg.

Qi Shu was amazed, “Even animals know to kiss the horse’s leg. 14” Ye Xiang removed a rabbit from the saddlebag in front of the saddle, throw it at it, and proudly said, “Follow me the Shi-zi and there’ll be meat to eat, but you have to be obedient, without my permission, you are not allowed to eat human.”

The lion suddenly became energetic and started pulling and eating away the rabbit.

Liu Yan couldn’t bear to see such bloodiness and moved his eyes away. “Ye Ge Ge15, what does it mean that if you do not allow, it is not allowed to eat human? Do you mean that you would allow it to eat human after all?”

Ye Xiang nodded. “So, you should weight it a little bit, don’t offend brother, I.”

Liu Yan suddenly shrunk his neck.

Qi Shu glanced at Liu Yan and smirked. “Look at you, not in the bit promising, even afraid of that? What did you come to hunt for?”

“Hunting is hunting, this is raw tearing.” Liu Yan’s body felt chilly while he looked at the lion’s bloody mouth; seeing Ye Xiang still looking at the lion, smiling like he was appreciative, and pointed at him, angrily said, “You are too… bloody.”

Ye Xiang turned back and looked at him laughing, “Courage is really small indeed, a shame for the grandson of the Prince Jin 16Manor.”

Liu Yan suddenly hardened his neck, dissatisfied with the comment, “Not bearing to watch blood and killing, what does that have to do with shame?”

Ye Xiang twisted up the horse’s reins and turned the horse’s head. A faint smile on his face, “A rabbit even though small, but if it is clever, and runs fast, it might not become the lion’s dinner. But, a rabbit is a rabbit, born a rabbit, not a lion. This is just the so-called law of the jungle.” After saying that, he hit the horse with the whip and called everyone, “No fun, let’s go back to the city.”
