The first thing Steward Huilang do is to have servants bathed Jiang Cheng.
At first the old man cannot believed it was Murong Cheng who was under of the dirty sacks, the infamous good for nothing eldest young master of Murong household. He though put a little hope for this young man to live for another day.
Once he caught the sight of a well neat clean Jiang Cheng sitting the bed, who was wearing a white silken robes. Old man Huilang could tell how beautiful this Murong Cheng young master if it was not only for how skinny his body right now, still has the potential of a real beauty.
"Get some purple or red colored robes for young master." Steward Huilang thought these colors would suit the young man.
Jiang Cheng on the wooden bed gave a cautious look to everyone like small cat keeping up his guard. He sat there as he stared at the unfamiliar people.
When the servants forced him to go bathing, he was internally screaming on his head. How daring for them to touch his skin casually and they even dressed him up with white. He don't know why he didn't like this color, but he has a feeling of refusal towards the color of mourning clothes.
As the former sect leader of Yunmeng Jiang, known as being cold and cruel man in cultivation world. Being with this kind of treatment, it was really humiliating and embarrassing at the same time for him. If his peers know this, or just his dear shixiong, he will become a laughingstock for one week.
Suddenly remembering his shixiong twice for today, Jiang Cheng finally realised one thing.
He don't remember the face of thisa person. And yet, the feelings toward this shixiong person seemed very important to him.
He put his hand on his chest, where's the mortal heart place as he could feel his heart beating.
Who is this shixiong?
"Young Master, is there something wrong, are you feeling unwell?" The steward Huilang has been watching Jiang Cheng all this time. Noticing the young man touching his chest, the old man felt alarmed.
Jiang Cheng look at the old man.
Seeing there was no response coming.
Steward didn't bothered. Maybe the young man is afraid, after all, he's in the mad's prince residence.
At night fall, the infamous mad prince finally arrived at his residence. A pair of a cold silver glinting eyes swept on the quiet mansion, his aloof features handsomely had uniqueness. As the moonlight shone on his face, anyone could feel shivers running down on their spine as they lower their heads.
"Your highness, second young master Murong Qishu of Murong family sent a person for you."
Gu Lan indifferently glanced.
After a while, the mad prince finally give his words.
"Sent him to my room."
"Yes, you highness." Steward Huilang inwardly grimaced.
Is the end for Murong Cheng young master?
How pitiful his fate then.
Jiang Cheng lazily laid on the soft bed in stranger's room. His strength still need more recuperation, maybe ten or fifteen days he must have to move freely. But, he wasn't oblivious to the situation of his, according to servant words. Tonight he would finally meet the infamous mad prince and he had to serve him diligently as well satisfy the man if he want to see the morning sun tomorrow.
Serve!? Serve another man? F*cking no way! Jiang Cheng is aware what it meant. He was an omega before for heaven sake and still in omega's body today. Why his luck isn't good, he also desire to be an alpha too. Though his body aren't in its estrus period, he is not comfortable with the idea of one unknown alpha embracing him. He want to vomit just thinking of it.
Now, Jiang Cheng felt great dilemma.
He cannot even move without a help from others. How would he defend himself tonight. As he continued to stare at the ceiling while thinking of some manageable plans, he did not notice the doors are opening quietly.
A light footsteps are approaching the bed, Jiang Cheng was still immersed on his own thoughts. Before he could react there was someone's taller were hovering over him and covering the light in the bed side. It was too late to react for this moment, the stranger is wearing an all black silken robes with exequite dragon cloud design with a good looking face.
Jiang Cheng stared, stared and stared.
Is he the mad prince? Is he here?
The pair of indifferent eyes was set on him, looking down with no single hint of human emotions. Those orbs were completely void, that it feels like this person was no longer human.
However at this moment, Jiang Cheng fall in trance as he locked his gaze at this stranger. He don't understand but his heart beats more than before. It is might be because he is nervous at the same time quite afraid of this person.
Despite all of complicated feelings on his chest, Jiang Cheng dared not to look away. He continued staring at those eyes void of emotion, he felt a pang of pain for no reason.
How can such a person had no human emotions, it feels as if the man before him is already.
Dead inside.
Jiang Cheng tried to search for flaws in this person's mask and yet----still there's nothing could be seen.
Is this person ghost?
Before Jiang Cheng could speak to the mad prince, he was frozen stiff when the alpha's took a move. The person's right hand swiftly slide a touched on his pale face, gently caressing the soft delicate skin on his cheek, with those empty eyes never wavered even once and still locked on him. As if the other is afraid he would dissapear in the air if those eyes blinked.
They stared in the position for a little longer before Jiang Cheng felt he can't take it anymore.
He speak weakly, "Can you let go of me?"
"No." As if a dagger hit him with such cold response.
Jiang Cheng could feel how suddenly the temperature dropped in negative degrees and from the end of his mind he has an urge to run away as soon as possible. His sweat streams down on his face and the man's slender finger gently wipe it off. Still, looking at him with empty expression.
It made him unconciously flustered.
It feels creepy, this man is creepy at the same time possibly a pervert.
Now, Jiang Cheng really want to run away so he used all of his strength to move a bit. Though, he was stopped by the other hand's trapping him to the place below the stranger's bend body.
"Um...can you stop staring at me?"It takes a courage for Jiang Cheng to spit those shameless words.
The stranger kept looking at him.
What the f*ck Laozi! What the hell do you want ah? You are been staring at me, are you not tired? Jiang Cheng screamed internally but his facial expression remained blank.
Just act dead, stay dead.
After for how long it was, the stranger suddenly moved making Jiang Cheng to flinched. He's alert again, waiting if this person will do something to kill him. Eyes intently watching the back of stranger near the door.
A low cold voice spoke, " Don't dare to run away. Stay here, I will come back later." With those farewell words, the man left him all alone.
What?
Jiang Cheng groaned softly.
Who is this stranger, why his heart
beats moving faster than before and why he felt a bit of heartache in just seeing those empty eyes.
He is unfamiliar to him and yet there was faint of familiarity.
Argh! Jiang Cheng felt headache now, he stopped thinking and he closed his eyes to fall asleep.
In the darkness someone is calling his name filled of extruciating agony.
