Chapter 1424 - Birthday Banquet



Chapter 1424: Birthday Banquet

The Southern King’s sixtieth birthday banquet was held in the palace.

When Long Ming arrived at the banquet hall with Mo Tian in tow, several nobles and powerful people had already arrived.

Long Ming greeted the Myanmese King.

“For the Northern King to be able to come personally is already the best gift I could receive. Now that you’re here, you should stay here for two more days. I’ll have Long Di tour the palace with you.”

Long Di was the Southern Prince and was the one who had sent Long Ming the invite.

Soon after, Long Di walked over and greeted Long Ming. The two conversed for a while before Long Di smirked suddenly, “Northern King, I have a baby recently. Do you want to see it?”

Long Ming raised an eyebrow. “What baby is able to make Your Highness look so happy?”

Long Di smiled mysteriously. “My baby will lead the dance during the banquet later. Your Majesty must properly appreciate it later.”

Long Ming’s hold on the wine glass tightened slightly.

Could Long Di’s baby be...

Darkness flashed in Long Ming’s dark eyes as he hoped that his guess was wrong.

...

The Southern King’s sixtieth birthday banquet had been planned by Long Di. The Southern King paid a lot of attention to this Prince.

Long Ming, the Southern King and Long Di sat together as the banquet started. But Long Ming wasn’t interested in the performances, but he was a little curious about the baby Long Di said was leading the dance.

When it was the sixth event, slow music started to play. Several women wearing ethnic outfits, all wearing face veils, danced lithely on the stage.

As they danced, a gorgeous figure wearing red organza flew down holding a ribbon. She was also wearing a headscarf and a face veil, only exposing her pair of soulful and seductive fox-like eyes. The tear-like mole under her eye made her look even more seductive.

Her figure was light, agile and seductive. Even if the dance wasn’t sexy, her slender waist and legs, and her soft and flexible body attracted everyone’s attention.

Thud. Heart pounding, Long Ming almost crushed the wine glass he was holding into pieces.

The baby Long Di was talking about was actually really Xiao Ying.

This damned woman!

She had actually become Long Di’s new favorite.

Long Ming thought that he had been hurt by her enough to the point that his heart would no longer hurt. But when he watched her stare at Long Di seductively on stage as she danced, his heart felt like it had been scratched by sharp claws.

Throughout the entire dance, it was as if she hadn’t seen him. Her seductive eyes were only filled by Long Di.

Stupid. He must be completely and utterly stupid.

Was he blind as well as stupid? Why else would he have the feeling that she only had eyes for him in the past?

Long Ming felt a bitter-sweet taste swelling in his throat. He swallowed it back as he suppressed the overwhelming emotions within him and downed the entire glass of liquid in a go.

Once the song was over, she left with the other dancers. Several nobles were still immersed in the leading dancer’s beautiful moves. From the corner of his eye, Long Di glanced at Long Ming. Long Ming’s well-defined handsome face had no expression, as if the woman leading the dance had nothing to do with him.

However, the knuckles of his hand holding the wine glass were a little pale.

Long Di’s smirk widened.

Long Ming was powerful and was incredibly capable and his father had always admired and praised the man. Whenever he did something wrong, his father would bring up Long Ming.

After some time, Long Ming had become the person he hated the most. He was only able to vent his anger when he saw Long Ming angry and unhappy.

He first thought that Long Ming was absolutely strong and indifferent to everything, but it seemed as if there was still someone that was able to affect his emotions.

“Your Majesty, there is still an after-party in my palace later. Do you want to go over together?”

Long Ming pursed his lips a little as his deep blue eyes sparkled like depthless black holes. He replied coldly, “Alright.”

...

After the banquet ended, Long Di invited several nobles for a small gathering in his palace and Long Ming headed over with them.

When they arrived, Long Di brought his new favorite over.

By now, Xiao Ying had changed into a dark green long dress. The back of the dress was exposed, revealing a large smattering of fair skin. She had permed her hair into large curls that were bunched together over the scarred side of her face.

A beautiful rose had been drawn on her scar. And together with the light veil from her hair, she looked as beautiful as an elf in the middle of the night.

She walked ahead with Long Di’s arm over her waist.

From behind them, Long Ming watched her laugh and smile coyly in Long Di’s arms, his expression darkening terribly.

Indeed she was rather good at finding a place to take refuge after leaving him, going straight into the Southern Prince’s arms.

Why was she such a b*tch?!

...

Once they arrived at Long Di’s Palace, Long Di got Xiao Ying to dance again. The nobles that came over all said that Long Di had found a treasure.

The entire time, Long Di kept observing the interaction between Xiao Ying and Long Ming. Although Long Ming looked calm, there was a dark aura exuding from him. His occasional gaze towards Xiao Ying was also terribly cold.

On the other hand, Xiao Ying, who was in his arms, never even glanced at Long Ming to begin with.

That was true. Long Ming was merely an uneducated man and only got his status from killing. Why would he know how to dote on a woman?

After exchanging several rounds of drinks, the men had all drank quite a bit. Seeing sleepiness appear in Long Di’s eyes, Xiao Ying suggested going brew a cup of sobering tea for him.

Long Di massaged Xiao Ying’s slender waist. “My baby knows how to dote on me.”

With that, Xiao Ying got up and left the banquet hall.

In the kitchen, Xiao Ying took out some dried peas and dandelions from the fridge, before she added them into the clay pot and added some water. She turned up the fire, letting it boil for twenty minutes before she could bring it out.

While she was waiting, Xiao Ying rested her hands on the counter, her eyes closed as she fell into deep thought.

Steady footsteps sounded from behind her. Hearing it, Xiao Ying looked behind.

When she saw the man who had entered the kitchen, Xiao Ying’s pupils constricted. “Are you crazy? What are you doing here?”

The moment she finished speaking, her slender waist was pinched ruthlessly by the newcomer.

“Ah!” Xiao Ying gasped in pain. “Long Ming, this is Long Di’s territory. Go out quiーMmgh!”

He kissed her moving lips ruthlessly.

Xiao Ying could not help but feel panicked. She had a feeling that something bad would happen tonight.

She had her hands on his chest, pushing him away with all of her strength. He took two steps back as he stared at her with depthless black eyes.

Xiao Ying looked up and wiped her lips. “Long Ming, you’re acting too much like a savage!”

Long Ming chuckled coldly. “Now that you’ve found a new backer, do you think I cannot do anything to you?”

Before Xiao Ying could say anything, he suddenly took two steps forward. His large palm grabbed her slender waist as he instantly carried her up and placed her on the counter.

Since she was wearing a dress, it was easy and convenient for him to do whatever he wanted. So she lifted her leg and kicked him.

However, he stood in between her legs, making him press closer to her.

“Long Ming, I am Long Di’s woman right now. If you dare touch me, he will never let you go!”

Long Ming grabbed Xiao Ying’s chin as his calloused fingers rubbed against her lips. The blue eyes on her darkened. “Why did you come to the Southern lands? Give me a reason.” His hold on her chin moved onto her slender shoulder. “Tell me, why did you lie and betray me again?”
