Chapter 160 Unruly, Ruthless, and Cunning Prince (Gong) VS Debauched, Insane, and Sickly Emperor (Sh
Yuan Huan stepped forward to the pavilion and apologized with a forced smile, saying, "I have disturbed Your Majesty's enjoyment. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Jiang Xiyu remained silent, put down his teacup, got up and walked outside the pavilion. When he looked up at Garuda, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"Garuda, you've disturbed me twice now," Jiang Xiyu said, cupping his hands to his forehead as if trying to see clearly.
Yuan Huan seemed to have guessed his interest in Garuda, and stepped forward to stand beside him, asking, "How does Your Majesty intend to punish it?"
"If I punish him, are you willing to do it?" Jiang Xiyu asked softly.
Yuan Huan rested his strong arm on Jiang Xiyu's shoulder, then joked, "Of course, I can't bear to part with him."
Jiang Xiyu chuckled and said, "If the young master is reluctant, then I will not punish him."
Yuan Huan looked down at Jiang Xiyu's slender hand casually resting on his forehead. The jade ring on his index finger was emerald green and translucent, and his knuckles were porcelain white as if carved from jade. The red mole on his skin also carried an indescribable desire.
Yuan Huan's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he scrutinized the man for a while before lowering his eyes.
The atmosphere remained quiet for a long time.
Jiang Xiyu's neck was getting sore from looking at it for so long, so he tilted his head and said, "Young Master, may I ask it to come down?"
Yuan Huan paused for a moment, then agreed without any change in his tone.
He raised his long, powerful arm, and Garuda, which had been circling in the sky for a while, flew down on its own initiative.
The shadowy figure became clearer until two sharp claws gripped Yuan Huan's arm.
Seeing the eagle's size up close, Jiang Xiyu's eyes showed a slight surprise.
The beauties peeked out and glanced at Yuan Huan, their eyes widening when they saw the eagle on his forearm.
The man standing beside His Majesty was incredibly tall, like a towering mountain. Yet, he calmly held up that ferocious bird, which was truly terrifying.
Noticing their gazes, Yuan Huan suddenly turned his head coldly, his sharp eyes filled with a hint of ruthlessness that was terrifying to behold.
This person is more terrifying than an eagle.
The beauties were so frightened that they immediately dared not look anymore, shrinking their heads and hiding behind the trees.
Jiang Xiyu didn't even glance at it, only looking at the eagle with curiosity.
He also wanted to see what it would feel like to have the eagle gripping his arm, but unfortunately, Jiang Xiyu glanced at his hand without making it obvious that he couldn't lift it.
Yuan Huan saw the eagerness in his eyes. He moved his arm, and Garuda fluttered its wings and landed on the ground, seemingly about to approach Jiang Xiyu.
The chief eunuch looked at the eagle, which was nearly half a person tall, and immediately felt dizzy. He said, "Your Majesty, be careful."
Jiang Xiyu raised her hand, signaling him not to come forward.
As Yuan Huan's shadow approached Garuda, it immediately stopped obediently.
“Garuda.” Jiang Xiyu crouched down to eye level with the eagle and said with a faint smile, “You certainly know how to scare people.”
He wasn't afraid of this, but the people around him were almost scared to tears.
The beauties, in particular, were so frightened that they kept their distance.
Garuda has fierce eyes, a hooked mouth, and sharp claws that seem to be able to pierce through the ground.
He spread his wings and then folded them back up, his posture proud and arrogant, as if he was very satisfied with Jiang Xiyu's words.
Jiang Xiyu found it somewhat amusing, looked up at its owner, and asked, "May I touch it?"
Seeing that he was truly unafraid, Yuan Huan hummed in response after a long pause.
Jiang Xiyu then reached out and carefully stroked Garuda's wings.
Its wings were jet black and glossy, smooth to the touch, and looked like they had been well cared for by Yuan Huan, docile yet still wild.
Jiang Xiyu became more and more fond of it as he touched it, and immediately ordered, "Someone, go and get some meat."
The sound of a woman sobbing could still be heard. Jiang Xiyu thought for a moment, then frowned and said, "Tell them all to leave."
"Yes." The chief eunuch replied, standing beside him watching him handle the hawk. His face was taut with tension, and he still said with concern, "Your Majesty, you, you should still be careful."
Jiang Xiyu hooked an eagle feather between his fingers, his tone nonchalant: "What are you afraid of? Isn't the young master here? Quickly send someone to fetch some meat."
"Yes."
"Wait a minute," Jiang Xiyu called out again.
The chief eunuch bowed and listened.
Jiang Xiyu turned to Yuan Huan and asked, looking up, "What kind of meat does it eat?"
Yuan Huan said, "Anything is fine."
Jiang Xiyu turned his attention back to the eagle and said to the chief eunuch, "Then let's see what we can do and make the preparations."
"Yes." The chief eunuch summoned a eunuch to search for the eagle, and ordered someone to take the beauties away. After returning, he stood by and watched for a long time. Seeing that the eagle did not seem to want to hurt anyone, the chief eunuch breathed a sigh of relief.
Not long after, the eunuch came over with the cut pieces of meat.
Jiang Xiyu fed Garuda two pieces of meat and then ordered someone to put the meat aside.
Yuan Huan said, "Your Majesty, it can't eat that much."
Jiang Xiyu took the handkerchief handed to him by the eunuch and asked in a teasing tone, "Will eating too much make you so fat that you can't fly?"
"Of course not."
"Then let him eat. Otherwise, he's always flying in the sky, and it's tiring just watching him."
He wiped it, but the smell wouldn't go away. Jiang Xiyu then brought his fingertips close to his nose with some disgust and said, "This meat is too fishy."
That action was exactly the same as when he smelled his blood back then.
Yuan Huan remained calm and did not look away.
Jiang Xiyu suddenly looked at him, following his gaze to his fingers, and said, "What's wrong? Is there something dirty on my hands?"
Yuan Huan stopped looking and said without a trace of suspicion, "No."
Jiang Xiyu smiled slightly, walked to the stone table, and poured the cooled tea into her own hands.
In an instant, the aroma of tea replaced the stench of meat.
After confirming that there was no strange smell, Jiang Xiyu ordered someone to change the tea, pointed to the opposite side, and said to Yuan Huan, "Sit down."
Yuan Huan didn't stand on ceremony and sat down opposite him, lifting his robe.
The eunuch wanted to step forward to make tea, but Jiang Xiyu waved his hand, indicating that it was unnecessary.
He personally poured Yuan Huan a cup of tea.
Yuan Huan's gaze was fixed on the tea, whether he was looking at the tea or something else, he made no attempt to hide it.
Jiang Xiyu pointed at Yuan Huan and pushed the teacup towards him.
The water shimmered, reflecting off his fingertips through the translucent jade cup.
Yuan Huan took a sip, but found the tea didn't quench his thirst at all.
Jiang Xiyu lowered his eyelids, a shadow flashing across his eyes. He smiled again and said sincerely, "I would like to ask the Crown Prince for something. I wonder if the Crown Prince can grant my request?"
Yuan Huan pursed his lips and said, "Your Majesty, please tell me."
"I want a feather from Garuda." Jiang Xiyu smiled, but there was no trace of emotion in his eyes.
Yuan Huan stared at him, saying nothing.
Jiang Xiyu, however, looked at Garuda, who was eating meat, and said, "If it doesn't work, then forget it, I..."
“Alright.” As if seeing through Jiang Xiyu’s vindictive nature, Yuan Huan sneered, “Having eaten His Majesty’s flesh, one must naturally pay a price.”
As he spoke, he got up and walked toward Garuda.
The moment his hand touched the eagle's feathers, he plucked one off cleanly and decisively.
It happened so fast that Garuda didn't even have time to react. When it finally came to its senses, it let out a short cry and could only nudge the spot where it had been pulled with its mouth.
Yuan Huan placed the black feather on the table and handed it to him, asking, "Your Majesty, are you satisfied?"
Jiang Xiyu smiled innocently at him and said, "Of course, I am very satisfied."
