His master has but one wish: "Disciple, will you take the vows?" Wu Xun clutched his hair and leapt a full ten feet into the air, making his master, scissors in hand, stamp his feet in frustration. No, no way. Wu Xun clutched his prayer beads and recited Buddhist sutras, praying for Buddha's protection. He had to keep his hair so he could fulfill his promise in the capital. The crown prince, Lu Tao, can lecture at the Wenhua Hall and defeat foreign enemies on horseback. His commanding presence is just like his father's. The only thing people criticize him for is his empty Eastern Palace. Lu Tao waved his folding fan and let word get around: "The one I love must be darker than me, better at martial arts than me, and have longer hair than me." The last requirement isn't hard, but the first two are. In the Great Yu Dynasty, women prize fair skin. Where could he find a dark-skinned crown princess? Lu Tao only smiled, took off his apricot-yellow robe embroidered with five dragons, and picked up his Glazed Dragon Sword. That person should be taking the military exam this year, right? ▲ The story of the crown prince and his dark-skinned childhood friend, the bottom, roaming the martial world together: The Crown Prince and the Young Hero Shed Their Monks' Robes by Tao Zhi Yao There will be update notices on Weibo, and I'll post cat pics too.
