The Next Of Phoenix
Chapters 30. The Night We Only Know

Xiao Jiwang opened his eyes slowly, jeez. When his eyes opened perfectly, the first sight he saw was Xiao Mingyui who was asleep in a sitting position leaning against his bed board.

Xiao Jiwang did not move as soon as he saw Xiao Mingyui's face, the man stared long ago at this woman's face on it.

Xiao Jiwang's right hand slowly moved, then put away the few strands of hair that covered Xiao Mingyui's pretty face. Xiao Jiwang's lips suddenly smiled and then muttered, "Devil."

Xiao Jiwang got up slowly, his movements were very careful not to wake Xiao Mingyui. Slowly, the man stood up and held Xiao Mingyui to lie down properly.

Xiao Jiwang put it down gently, then now replace him who was sitting in Xiao Mingyui's position earlier. Both of Xiao Jiwang's eyes were still staring at Xiao Mingyui, then he turned his head towards the slightly open door of the tent. Ah .. It seems like it's late at night. Wait, doesn't that mean he's asleep pretty fast? As he remembered he had started falling asleep during the day and had only woken up at this moment.

Xiao Jiwang smiled faintly, his eyes staring slightly in shock towards Xiao Mingyui. "You're capable of doing what the senior healer class of the Empire can't?"

Xiao Jiwang turned to stare at the trinkets wrapped around Xiao Mingyui's right hand, then the man hurried to his feet to look for a new bandage scroll. After being able to, he again sat in his original position and carefully pulled Xiao Mingyui's right hand.

Xiao Jiwang opened the winding of Xiao Mingyui's old bandage as he said, "How could he be this stupid? Directly fall asleep without changing the bandage first according to the message of the physician?" Xiao Jiwang's forehead shriveled as he said this.

The man took off Xiao Mingyui's old bandage completely, then began to wrap around the new bandage. Xiao Mingyui who sensed the continuous movement in her right hand slowly woke up, the woman was slightly startled and almost just took a move to hit Xiao Jiwang's head.

Xiao Jiwang, who knew that Xiao Mingyui had woken up, looked relaxed and continued what he was doing.

"You have to pay for this," Xiao Jiwang said until he finally finished wrapping the new bandage in Xiao Mingyui's right hand.

Xiao Mingyui quickly took a sitting position, then said, "Thank you very much, your majesty."

Xiao Jiwang nodded briefly, then stood up while extending his right hand towards Xiao Mingyui. "As promised, I'll take you out."

Xiao Mingyui frowned. "But, what I want is a market-"

"The Capital Market, I know that. But this one I'm not just asking you to have fun, but to train your feet. We have to train him."

Xiao Mingyui lowered her head slightly to look at her feet, then she nodded thinly while replying to Xiao Jiwang's helping hand. "Accept ...."

Xiao Jiwang helped Xiao Mingyui stand up using his cane, the two of them walking hand in hand very carefully in the middle of the silent night. No one was aware of their activities, all of them were busy with their individual dreams.

Xiao Jiwang led Xiao Mingyui to a large green field, where the wind was very cool and refreshing, moreover, the sky around the Lang Tao mountain like the area they were tracking now had a night sky filled with very beautiful stars!

"I'll help you, don't be stubborn!"

"No, your majesty can wait in front of me as the finish line. I want to do it myself!"

"Hard-headed! You'll fall down later!"

"No, how do you know if I fell or not when I haven't tried at all?"

"Ck, alright .. I'll wait there!"

Xiao Jiwang stood facing Xiao Mingyui at a distance of fifteen meters, the man despite often annoyingly speaking, yet he was very careful in helping Xiao Mingyui.

One step

Two steps

Three steps

Until finally the sixth step, Xiao Mingyui had difficulty arriving. When he was about to set foot for the seventh step, suddenly his two legs trembled violently and finally fell on the grass.

Xiao Jiwang laughed when he saw this, the man's laughter actually sounded crisp. Xiao Mingyui who heard Xiao Jiwang's laughter honestly felt annoyed, but he was a little stunned when he heard Xiao Jiwang's laughter without any falsehood as usual.

Xiao Jiwnah walked towards Xiao Mingyui with her laugh, then grasped the two arms of the woman to help her stand up. "seen? You're falling like a fool now for not following my words!"

Xiao Mingyui smiled as she looked at Xiao Jiwang's pure happy smile, then replied, "I have no problem falling down! Stop laughing your majesty!" Xiao Mingyui's forehead slightly folded as she said this, as if she was angry.

Xiao Jiwang raised his left eyebrow at a glance, his lips still smiling. "You snapped at the Crown Prince?"

Xiao Mingyui snorted thinly. "Then you've been disrespectful for laughing at your Imperial aunt. Even though our ages are just a little different, my order is-"

"Aren't you going to be my wife? Thenwhat? Your life and death are in my hands" Xiao Jiwang cut off, then gave a faint look towards Xiao Mingyui.

Xiao Mingyui brushed aside Xiao Jiwang's hand slowly, then slowly turned around and was about to walk away from Xiao Jiwang. He was annoyed to see the guy's annoying face.

Xiao Jiwang who saw Xiao Mingyui angrily grew even more laughing, the man quickly held back Xiao Mingyui's movements and said, "Alright, let's continue. I won't laugh at you anymore. Promise."

Xiao Mingyui shook his head slowly. "No, I don't want to."

Xiao Jiwang chuckled, then replied, "We have to go back tomorrow, so let's train even harder."

Xiao Mingyui let out a thin sigh, in the end she continued her walking practice with Xiao Jiwang.

This was the second time he had managed to walk calmly with a stick, this time he was about to try without a stick.

Two steps

Four steps

Step by step successfully Xiao Mingyui did, although his body was still struggling to find balance, yet at least he had started to successfully walk back.

When Xiao Mingyui managed to reach the finish line that Xiao Jiwang had determined, the two female eyes twinkled. The woman quickly smiled widely and laughed.

Xiao Mingyui laughed and smiled happily for the first time, and this activity she did was with Xiao Jiwang. The woman forgot her reputation, status, and responsibilities for a while. All she felt right now was happiness and freedom, especially when she managed to walk smoothly, the woman became excited and laughed like a child. This attitude of his would never be known to anyone but Xiao Jiwang, not even his younger brother Xiangqing.

Xiao Jiwang was stunned, his eyes watching Xiao Mingyui who was laughing and smiling widely filled with happiness. The man involuntarily smiled back, then clasped both arms of Xiao Mingyui. With a shady look, his right hand moved stroking Xiao Mingyui's head.

Xiao Mingyui no longer felt awkward or surprised, his closeness to the current Xiao Jiwang felt like it had become commonplace. On that beautiful sky night, the two of them threw happy smiles and laughter at each other. They actually returned to their respective tents as they watched the sun gradually begin to appear.
