Chapter 266 Extra Chapter: The Celestial Prince 3
She stood up and tried to push the door open, but she couldn't; the black iron chains binding her made a crisp sound.
Luo Qiu panicked. Soon she heard footsteps. She looked up and saw someone walking in.
He was dressed in magnificent clothes, with a handsome face and captivating, enchanting eyes that seemed both drunk and alluring, making it impossible not to be mesmerized.
Luo Qiu felt that he was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
She figured he was so handsome he couldn't be a bad person, so she pleaded, "Immortal Lord, please save me! I don't know who's imprisoned me here..."
The other party didn't respond, but instead laughed, a somewhat eerie laugh that made Luo Qiu uneasy. "Immortal Lord, please save me, okay?"
"Qiu'er..." Rong Chen's voice was hoarse, and his gentle eyes became unfathomable. "Why don't you stay here with me?"
Luo Qiu was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly. "Did you lock me up here?"
"No, it's not about being locked up. I just don't want you to go looking for someone else..." Rong Chen looked disappointed, but quickly smiled again. "Qiu'er, this place reminds me so much of your home, with flowers, trees, and a swing..."
Seeing Rong Chen's somewhat deranged state, Luo Qiu was almost in tears. "Who are you? Why are you doing this to me?"
Rong Chen was displeased. "Qiu'er, how come you don't even remember my name? My name is Rong Chen."
“Rong Chen…” Luo Qiu’s tears fell.
The prince of the heavens…
But she didn't even know him...
"Qiu'er, please don't cry, okay? It hurts me to see you like this..." Rong Chen panicked immediately. All his unhappy and negative emotions vanished, and all he could think about was his Qiu'er crying.
He went in, intending to hug her and comfort her.
Luo Qiu quickly dodged away, her body trembling with fear.
Rong Chen's outstretched hand froze in mid-air. He seemed lost in some painful memory, on the verge of collapse. "Qiu'er... why are you avoiding me... why are you still avoiding me now..."
"Don't come any closer...don't touch me..." Luo Qiu cried even harder, curling up in the corner.
"Okay." Rong Chen suppressed his crazy thoughts and left.
Luo Qiu's tense heart relaxed.
She didn't understand. She clearly didn't know His Highness the Crown Prince, so why would His Highness treat her like this?
Every day after that, Rong Chen would come to see Luo Qiu.
Luo Qiu's initial fear had turned into a blank expression, as if she didn't see anything.
Luo Qiu sat in the chair, and Rong Chen, seeing her obedient appearance, walked in with a smile on his lips.
He sat down beside her, his face gentle. "Qiu'er, I read in a storybook that lovers would give each other sachets. This is for you."
He handed the white sachet in his hand to Luo Qiu.
Luo Qiu ignored him, neither responding nor answering his calls.
Rong Chen was already used to her attitude. He placed the sachet in her palm and smiled even more gently.
The next second, Luo Qiu threw the sachet away.
Rong Chen felt a pang of pain in his heart, and his gentle expression instantly turned gloomy.
He was so angry that the veins on the back of his hand bulged out. After a long silence, he walked out.
After he left, Rong Chen didn't come to see Luo Qiu for several days.
Luo Qiu thought he would never come again, and that she might be locked up in this magnificent cage until she died.
Not long after, she heard footsteps, and Rong Chen reappeared in front of her.
He opened the door and walked in as if nothing had happened, smiling gently, holding a white rabbit with red patterns on its back in his arms.
Rong Chen's face was a little pale. He placed the rabbit in his arms next to Luo Qiu and said in a very gentle voice, "Qiu'er, I've heard that you like fluffy pets. This is one I found for you. Do you like it?"
After saying that, he gave the beast a wink, and the beast trembled in fright, jumped in front of Luo Qiu, and began to act cute and charming.
It felt incredibly embarrassed. It was a dignified ancient beast, yet it was being forced to act cute. But it couldn't beat this man, so it had no choice but to back down.
Luo Qiu looked at the ugly-cute E's beast and was amused by its comical cuteness. She reached out and touched the E's beast's head.
Although the beast disliked being touched, it found the fairy's touch quite comfortable, and it squinted its eyes in pleasure.
Rong Chen smiled too; after so many days, Qiu'er had finally smiled.
But he started to feel jealous of the dead rabbit. Luckily, he had specifically caught a female. If it had been a male, he would have felt that Qiu'er had been taken advantage of.
He moved closer and sat down beside her, looking at her with doting eyes. "Is there anything else you want, Qiu'er? I can give you anything."
Upon hearing this, Luo Qiu paused in her stroking of the E's Beast. She looked up at Rong Chen and said, "Your Highness, please let me out."
"No." Rong Chen's smile remained gentle, but his eyes grew colder and colder. "Qiu'er is not allowed to go to anyone else."
Luo Qiu lowered her eyes. "Then I don't want anything else."
She thought that his words would anger the Crown Prince, but he left as usual.
Luo Qiu watched his retreating figure, looking forlorn and desolate, even his steps were unsteady. Was His Highness the Crown Prince injured?
She looked away. He had locked her up here, so why was she even thinking about him?
She continued to hug the beast, "I used to be alone here, but now that I have you, I'm not lonely anymore. Let me give you a name, hmm... how about I call you Little White?"
The beast, enjoying the petting, protested upon hearing the name, "That's so rustic! It's not imposing at all!"
Luo Qiu was startled by the sudden voice, "Xiao Bai, you can talk?"
The E's Beast raised its head, its red pupils filled with pride, "I am an ancient ferocious beast, the E's Beast, of course I can speak!"
Luo Qiu was amused by its appearance. "Little White, you're so cute!"
The beast protested, "I already said I don't like this name!"
Luo Qiu pondered for a moment, "Then what name would you like to call Xiao Bai?"
The beast thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a name. It was still just a cub, so it decided to just call the fairy whatever she wanted.
After spending a few days together, the beast has become very obedient and calls Luo Qiu "master". This is because Luo Qiu not only strokes its fur, but also makes pastries and honey for it to eat. It thought it was going to be sold into slavery by that man, but it never expected to be pampered by its master. It's so wonderful!
A few days later, Rong Chen came to see Luo Qiu again.
This time, Rong Chen didn't come in. Instead, he stayed outside the cage and played a beautiful but sad melody for Luo Qiu on his harp.
Luo Qiu stared blankly at Rong Chen playing the zither, his eyes seemingly sparkling with countless stars as his slender fingers plucked the strings, the ethereal and exquisite music echoing throughout the palace.
Thinking about it carefully, apart from locking her up here, His Highness the Crown Prince never forced her and even tried to make her happy every day.
(The E's Beast is a ferocious beast that looks like a tiger. It's all because the picture on Baidu is a rabbit. When I started writing, the 003 setting was the E's Beast, so the E's Beast in this book can only be a cute rabbit.)
