Dance Of The Dragons

Chapter 531: Chapter 531 : (Extra) Jiang Muchen’s Love Story (15)

"Big Brother, what is going to happen to us from now on?" Liu Chengyun asked his elder brother the same morning Jiang Muchen headed toward the Golden Dragon Palace to face the Heavenly Emperor.

In response, Liu Chengjiu could only heave a sigh of exasperation.

He set aside the embroidery he was working on and looked at his younger brother’s expectant face.

Liu Chengyun grew up without knowing another alpha figure he could look up to. He was used to running to his elder brother for advice and solution.

Certainly, that was far from ideal.

Therefore, although he was an alpha, Liu Chengyun often became the clansmen’s object of ridicule.

In a way, Liu Chengyun’s differentiating into an alpha could be considered a curse, so Liu Chengjiu mused.

"Honestly, I also don’t know," he slowly said. "For now, the only thing that mattered is the survival of Silver Moon Pack."

The election of the new Wuyang Palace Master ended a while ago.

In an attempt to foster an advantageous alliance with Shuiran Palace, he sent a representative from Silver Moon Pack to tell Jiang Muchen that his future wife’s birth pack was safe and sound, its remaining members having been successfully assimilated into the winning pack.

Although this was what Liu Chengjiu wanted all along, he felt conflicted inside.

Right now, everyone in the Heavenly Realm and their mothers assumed that he was to be Jiang Muchen’s future wife.

It couldn’t be farther from the truth.

First of all, Jiang Muchen was the son of the Heavenly Emperor, who was known to despise the wolf clan, and for a good reason too. He would never take a wife from the wolf clan.

Second of all, Jiang Muchen was hopelessly in love with his biological uncle, Crown Prince Xie Jianyu who was married to the Supreme General Zhang Fengxi.

And then, most importantly, Liu Chengjiu was not a delusional person. He knew his worth as an omega very well.

Even without surname Liu acting like shackles around his ankles, he knew that he was not the kind of omega who could dream of landing a prestigious alpha such as Jiang Muchen.

So really, he didn’t know what was going to happen.

Liu Chengjiu threw a glance in the direction of the Shuiran Palace gate.

When Jiang Muchen returned to the palace today, he would probably bear bad news with various degrees of severity.

Regardless of the specific details, he was obliged to return Liu Chengjiu and Liu Chengyun to Wuyang Palace.

The question was rather -- what would happen next?

Was Jiang Muchen going to hand them over to the new Wuyang Palace Master?

As what?

Returned goods?

Prisoners...?

Liu Chengjiu tilted his head backward and took a deep breath.

Truly, escaping death for several more days was still considered a blessing.

He just didn’t know how to impart this sliver of wisdom to his younger brother.

"Chengyun..."

Liu Chengjiu took his brother’s hands into his.

"Actually, your brother has something important to tell you."

Liu Chengyun swallowed hard and stared right into Liu Chengjiu’s eyes.

Liu Chengjiu narrowed his eyes at his only brother.

He opened his mouth to say something, but his words were drowned by the head servant’s announcement.

"Master has returned!"

"Everyone, get back to work! Do not dawdle!"

For a split second, Liu Chengjiu reflexively took the embroidery into his hands, only to toss it aside on the spot. He wasn’t exactly a worker in the palace.

He then grabbed his younger brother by the arm and pulled him to his feet, ready to vacate the room and move to a more secluded one.

But when Jiang Muchen walked past the door, he dragged the poor alpha down and made the latter kneel alongside him.

"Greetings to Shuiran Palace Master," Liu Chengjiu solemnly said.

Next to him, Liu Chengyun repeated the same greeting.

Jiang Muchen pursed his lips in displeasure when he caught sight of the siblings.

Oh, how complicated his life could be just because he took pity on several puny wolves.

"Do not kneel anymore. You are not exactly my subordinates."

Liu Chengjiu slowly raised his head.

"We are not your guests either."

Jiang Muchen lowered himself on an ornate couch beneath the open window with an irritated facial expression.

"At the very least, listen to what your host is telling you. Do not kneel anymore."

"... Yes, Your Highness."

Jiang Muchen’s eyes shifted toward Liu Chengyun, who immediately flinched in terror.

"I need to talk to you alone. Can Liu Chengyun please leave the room?"

Liu Chengyun’s eyes widened in shock. Gallantly, he put himself between his elder brother and Jiang Muchen.

"No!" He cried out. "An unmarried alpha and an omega alone in one room! What will the entire realm think about it? My Big Brother’s reputation will be soiled!!!"

Jiang Muchen scoffed.

"The second I drag your elder brother to this place, the entire realm assumes the worst of me. This reputation you are speaking of is currently lying in shambles, with no possibility of repair."

"..."

Liu Chengyun looked like he was about to cry.

A throbbing pain erupted in Jiang Muchen’s head, as if someone were hammering nails into his brain.

"By all means, stay here and listen to everything. Don’t blame me if you hear something you don’t want to hear."

Liu Chengyun was determined to stay even if a centipede crawled into his ear hole, but Liu Chengjiu was unable to condone it.

"Chengyun, wait outside the door," he instructed.

"But Big Brother, why???"

"It is easier for me to talk if you wait outside," Liu Chengjiu calmly replied.

"Go on now, don’t you trust your elder brother?"

"..."

Liu Chengyun bit into his lower lip in resentment before he turned around and left.

He didn’t want to leave his elder brother alone. Of course he trusted Liu Chengjiu, but he couldn’t say the same about the other alpha in the room.

At this moment, even their savior, Jiang Muchen, looked like any other lecherous alpha who would love to sink his fangs into his elder brother’s neck. So how the hell could he be at ease???

Once the door slid close behind him, Liu Chengjiu turned his head to look at Jiang Muchen.

"Yes, Your Highness? What do you wish to talk about?"

"Liu Chengjiu from Wuyang Palace," Jiang Muchen called out. "I would like to make you an offer." frёewebnoѵēl.com
