DONGFANG

An orange sun hung over the horizon. A gentle stream was flowing from the mountain and a breeze from cool breeze from the swaying of the trees travelled far and beyond swaying the robes of a figure standing on top of a stone in the middle of the stream. He wore black robes with a single white dove drawn at the bottom. His hair was tied into a high ponytail and his brows were furrowed tightly as he stared unblinkingly at the water. Two fish were swimming peacefully at the bottom but just then.

A loud voice boomed near his right year, "Young master, I caught the rabbit" The voice was too sudden, scaring him to death. The result was him losing his footing and falling headfast into the water, scaring the fish away. The man, who had just spoken, seeing his young master on the ground, was scared witless and the fat rabbit he was holding on his arm escaped making the mood of the young master plummet even further.

He stared back angrily, some words were at the tip of his tongue but he swallowed them unconsciously. He got up with rush movements, stirring up the mud in the water, dirtying it. This made the fish escape even further. He got out of the water in large strides then went to the direction of the other young man..

He then flipped his fingers, sending an undetectable burst of spiritual energy towards his unknowing opponent.

. His hands danced in mischief as the power lifted the other young man off his feet and slammed him directly to the water. His clothes got soaked immediately and he let out a playful whimper, "Young master Yi, if I don't make stew with your brain today my surname would not be Lin anymore"

This was the young master of the Lin family, Lin ChangGe. He was extremely handsome but fell slightly behind Young master Yi, Yi Chang, the only prince of DongFang Yi sect. This young master gained fame at a very young age, it was not because of something that he had done but it was related to his bizarre birth.

His mother, Chen LuoAn, the youngest daughter of old man Chen JingKe from Xibei had married into the Yi family of DongFang quite extravagantly but even after a while she still could not bear any child. Days, weeks and years passed by just like that but she still could not bring any life into the world. There were many rumors going around alluding that her father was involved with demonic practices and the setback was causing his own daughters barrenness.

Yi Chang's father, Yi Ling was pressured by his mother day and night to build his harem and marry a woman who could bear an heir but his father refused solemnly stating matter of fact that Chen LuoAn was the wife he wanted and no other, if his family insisted on sending her away, then he would step down from the sect leaders' position and follow her wherever she goes.

This was quite a brave act of love on his part. His mother was angered so much that she fainted on the spot. After a while, no one opposed them anymore and a year later, she suddenly was pregnant and gave birth after ten months. Her labor lasted a whole week.

It was a boy.

The empire was thrown into a state of happiness for days before tragedy struck on the seventh day. The heavens were heavy with dark clouds that hovered dangerously near the ground. Rain fell for many days and when it finally stopped the people's plants and houses were destroyed.

A bright golden light appeared suddenly after the rain, it stayed for a little while before disappearing and at the same time on the new prince's smooth forehead which had no mark during birth, now rested a small golden mark.

Some believed this to be an auspicious sign but many thought it was an element of bad luck. Rumors began to spread around the sect that Yi Chang was not actually what people thought he was. Faced with the harsh criticism involving her son's birth, Madam Chen took her son and hid her in her Flower garden, a section of the sect leaders Flower Tower and she did not allow anyone else to come near the chambers.

Lin ChangGe stared at Yi Chang, the lad was exceptionally handsome, his brows were raised upwards slightly and his eyes were thinly shaped with dark colored pupils that could look right through your soul. His skin was very smooth and he held an unbridled youthful vigor. He wore his sects' signature dark blue inner paired with a black outer robe. A white dove motif was drawn at the base of his outer robe and on his forehead lay a golden mark.

Lin ChangGe felt that in the entire DongFang, no one had looks that could match up to this young master. With this reality he splashed the water everywhere angrily before storming out of the water.

Yi Chang laughed lightly before he beckoned the other over to look for fish. They fished for a long time and after they were satisfied with the catch, they both lay under a tall tree enjoying the breeze.

Yi Chang had been confined inside the Flower Garden since he was little and being able to enjoy such simple pleasures was a dream. When his mother had let him free when he reached sixteen, he did everything he wanted with twice the vigor. He was enthusiastic about making friends but all those who saw his Golden mark felt he was too different, only this young master from the Lin family wanted to get close to him.

"By the way, I heard that a new tavern was opened, why don't we go take a look?" Lin ChangGe said, eying the others changing reaction like a hawk. When Yi Chang began exploring the wonders he had missed during his childhood, he especially loved going to taverns to have fun and stare at the opposite buildings.

Often the building on the opposite would be a flower house. Several women lined up, some played the zither while some sat around, wearing rogue on their faces with their lips painted red. There were big smiles on their faces every time a man entered. Yi Chang always liked to sit at the open part at the top of the tavern, munch on sunflower seeds and stared at the spectacle.

It was not that he enjoyed drinking very much but just because he had a mission every time he came, watching women with big boobs. Yi Chang liked women with huge boobs the most.

Lin Chang Ge knew of this and he released a big smile as the other answered,

"Absolutely."
