Chapter 178: White Marsh Everywhere
As soon as the carriage stopped, Dawang hoisted the Sky-Covering and shouldered the Sun-Shooting Bow, jumping down immediately, bathed in sunshine, he greeted his second brother: 'Second Brother! I'm here~'
He found no response.
Everyone present was staring at the huge fluffy creature that had jumped out of the carriage with him.
White Marsh jumped down, stretched, then unabashedly locked eyes with Baili Heng for two or three seconds, not releasing his aura pressure, whereupon Baili Heng also promptly looked away.
It then gave Baili Heng another once-over, casually glanced at the group of spoiled youths behind him, and then turned its gaze toward the distant mountains.
Dawang had already walked over and shoved his second brother: 'Don't drool, I raised this myself, it's very noble—whoever looks at it another second is assumed to want to steal it!'
This time his second brother didn't follow his nonsense, fell silent for a moment, and asked: 'What is that?'
Dawang: 'Cough cough! I dote on White Marsh, a big fluffy creature. I raised it to this size with my own strength; unwilling to part with it on a long journey, I brought it all the way to Eternal Peace. Isn't it handsome? Beautiful? Majestic? It's mine! You lot over there, wipe your drool.'
Liang Bin, whom he had pointed at, instinctively wiped his face, then realized he found it dazzling and didn't dare look longer at its eyes, before he could even start drooling.
'Who was drooling? Not me.'
'I only reminded you because I saw you quickly. When your father and elder brothers first saw our White Marsh, they were far calmer than you; you should go play more in our Northern Border to broaden your horizons.'
'It… is a beast of the Northern Border?'
Dawang said with a light touch moving a thousand pounds: 'Otherwise what? Look at this long fur, this snow-white color—it must have grown in icy snowlands! This is what I picked up two years ago when I went to Upper Valley Pass for fun, on the way back. Though it grew this well, it's all thanks to my care. When I found it, I even thought it was a stray cat.' White Marsh could be seen everywhere in Obscure Prefecture……
The group began to exclaim in amazement: one said they hadn't expected the Northern Border to have such a beast; another said a wild one surely couldn't grow this big; yet another remarked that just looking at its appearance it seemed exceedingly rare, the King of You was incredibly lucky……
White Marsh: ……
After Dawang had finished fooling everyone, he made White Marsh a specialty of Obscure Prefecture and finally felt at ease.
Looking at the distant mountains, he could hardly wait to go for a good ride: 'Come on, let's go hunting! Don't waste time here—let you see my Sky-Covering! These days have almost suffocated me; still, Obscure Prefecture is great—no one in charge, vast skies and seas, free and easy……except for being a bit poor.'
Liang Bin burst out laughing; others didn't know he deeply understood, he had been there.
'Isn't it free? Besides grass, it's just stones—you might not run into any settlements after half a day, hahaha~'
Dawang: 'If I get a chance to meet the Marquis of the Eastern Capital next time, I'll convey your disdain for the Northern Border, humph!'
Liang Bin chased after him on horseback: 'Let's discuss this more, don't talk nonsense—my father is a stickler for details!'
White Marsh also followed alongside Dawang's reddish-brown horse; when it ran, it seemed light as if not touching the ground—if it didn't have to wait for the King of You, it would look like even a horseback rider couldn't catch up.
Li Chang and Liang Bin mounted their horses and chased after Dawang; Li Xu, who had fallen behind, gave Baili Heng a glance, indicating he should look at the youth riding the same kind of horse as him.
After all, it was an 180,000-tael horse, the same model as the King of Guangling's; although Wei Shen wore the same as the imperial guards, everyone noticed what deserved attention.
'Not the imperial guards? The bearing isn't quite like it either.'
Baili Heng chuckled: 'Your gaze isn't right either—I spotted it instantly that day at the Tranquil Peace Office. Don't you think the third brother and he resemble each other more like brothers than I do? They share fifty percent similarity, especially those auspicious phoenix eyes!' Though the third brother is still young, a bit round……
'……Indeed, the Wei Family.'
