Prince and His Fool

The journey to the troll territory was relatively short as Tebie was right at the edge of the boundary. Ying Tie barely said a word on the way with a sullen look on his face. Though he mostly looked like that every day unless when Rong Zian instigated him, it was obvious something was wrong and Wu Yange noticed. Concerned, Wu Yange tugged Rong Zian's sleeve signalling him to walk beside him.

The prince had missed out on the Fan-Ying saga and wasn't aware of his shameless cousin's intentions towards Ying Tie. When he asked Ying Tie where Wu Fan ran too, his reply was, "Do I have the name 'Wu Fan's keeper' written on my forehead," and rushed off at light-speed leaving only a cloud of dust behind. Wu Yange could tell he had touched a soft spot but couldn't understand why.

"Oh, well Wu Fan has the hots for Ying Tie. That's why he's behaving strange. Ying Tie said he would accept him if he writes off his sins so Wu Fan ran off to do god knows what and said he would be right back before he disappeared," whispered Rong Zian constantly looking at Ying Tie.

"I can still hear you and I was joking. Who knew the psycho would take me seriously. Fuck! The guy even kissed me," yelled Ying Tie who was currently walking in front. Well there it is, Ying Tie had officially picked up Rong Zian's swearing habit.

"HAHAHA! Ying Tie you just don't say such things to a crazy person, well he didn't get the joke and took it literary," laughed Rong Zian casually leaning against Wu Yange. Ying Tie was already frustrated so he stomped ahead choosing to ignore them.

Wu Yange smiled and casually placed his hand on a side-tracked Rong Zian's ass as though natural and gently fondled the two peaks before letting go.

"The fuck! AHAH! Yan Yan what are you doing?" yelled Rong Zian jolted by that unexpected incident.

"Let's go deal with Kapa, I don't want to be here longer than l have too," he replied walking away as though nothing had happened. Rong Zian was still in shock ruminating with his steps lagging behind. 'Is this going to be a fuckin' thing now?'

"We are here!" yelled Ying Tie as soon as he reached atop the steep hill. They hadn't walked for long and hoped Kepa would be more corporative but they soon discovered that the ugly troll was ready for a big fight.

Rong Zian finally reached the two men observing the troll army in the valley and just had to comment, "And they brought a fuckin' welcome party too," folding his arms across his chest.

Wu Yange grab Rong Zian by his waist and said, "Let's get this over and done with. I have things I need to do after this," tightening his hold before taking off and landing right in front of Kepa and his army.

"Oh my," whispered Rong Zian with downcast timid expression. He suddenly knew how Mary-Jane felt when Spiderman carried her while swinging across buildings. 'It's fuckin' sexy,' screaming like a little schoolgirl in his mind. Wu Yange felt an overwhelming need to pounce on Rong Zian when noticed his bashful appearance.

"Will you stop provoking me on the battlefield or at least wait till we are done," said Wu Yange with a wistful smile across his face.

"Tsk Yan Yan, who is provoking who here?" replied Rong Zian averting his gaze with a satisfied smile. Ying Tie who had finally caught up with them had witnessed this conversation and was force-fed dog food with nowhere else to run.

"Will you two please spare me. Get a room and tear each apart already," said Ying Tie reprimanding these two men after suffering such torment. It sucked being the third wheel.

"I am planning on it," said Wu Yange with a mischievous look directed at Rong Zian. The taunted Rong Zian nervously rubbed the back of his neck with a withering look.

"Please do continue ignoring me as if I am air," said Kepa as he got off his sedan while rubbing his beer belly with a sardonic smile. The troll had no idea how revolting his body odour was. As he got closer the smell ruthlessly assaulted the three men's noses making it hard to keep a straight face. Rong Zian was the first to react, dry heaving while arching his back. This couldn't go on, how were they supposed to get the amulet when they couldn't get past that smell.

Wu Yange rubbed Rong Zian's back but couldn't say a word afraid the smell will get into his mouth. "I must say, we have fought one or two rogue trolls before but they never smelt this bad," said a brave Ying Tie instantly regretting it. His tongue was in turmoil as though he could taste it.

It was too insufferable that Rong Zian madly rifled through his bag looking for anything that could help. He took out some lavender oil and applied it on Wu Yange's nose first before applying it on himself and then tossed the bottle to Ying Tie. "It's not much but it will at least make it tolerable," said Rong Zian while covering his mouth.

Wu Yange let out a foolish grin his hands itching to hug his considerate boyfriend. No, wait, not his boyfriend yet because he hadn't asked him but was declaring victory before the battle had started as he was confident Rong Zian would never refuse him. If he does refuse him then plan B would be to constantly annoy him till he said yes.

"If you can't even stand my rich scent, how can you defeat me? HAHAHAHA!" bellowed Kepa with a burst of loud laughter, his belly jiggling like wobbly jelly. The trolls assisting him couldn't help but move a few inches away when their king opened his mouth in laughter. They couldn't stand it either but had to get used to it. The one who had it worse would be the king's favourite concubine who was now under suicide watch.
