My Stunning Beauty Special Agent Wife-Chapter 239 - 238 Ye Xin Tells a Fairy Tale (4/4)

Yang Chen put away his little thoughts below and listened carefully to Ye Xin’s lecture.

"Today I’m telling everyone a story about a prince." Ye Xin had a sweet smile on her face, combined with stunning beauty... Although this group of little kids hadn’t yet developed their aesthetic sense, they all thought Ye Xin was very pretty and approachable, and inevitably listened obediently.

Especially when they heard Ye Xin would tell a story about a prince, some little girls got excited.

"Where there’s a prince, there must be a princess, right?" Ye Xin said with a smile.

"Yes!" The little kids shouted in unison.

Ye Xin’s eyes curved into beautiful crescents as she smiled and said, "A long, long time ago, there was a place called Ausai Country. Their nation was very prosperous, and the people lived very richly. In their kingdom, almost every day felt like a holiday. They danced... dragon parades... the streets were lined with various stalls selling silks and delicious foods."

Listening to the mention of delicious foods, the children’s mouths almost began to water.

Ye Xin laughed and said, "What made this country so prosperous was a very wise king who had a son. He had a white horse and wielded a long spear, looking very heroic. He once slayed a dragon in the dark forest and fought demons summoned by a wicked witch in her castle..."

"One day, the king called the prince and said to him: I’m old. Soon you will be the kingdom’s heir, and one day you will be the king."

"The prince was very sad and said to his father: Father, you will live a long life, and Ausai Country will always prosper under your rule."

"The king shook his head and said: Silly child, everyone dies eventually, and you will be even better than me!"

"The king told the prince that at the other end of the world, there was a country as prosperous as Ausai Country, called Fire Phoenix Country. Only the princess from Fire Phoenix Country deserves to be the prince’s match. Likewise, only if the prince marries the princess from Fire Phoenix Country can he return to inherit the throne."

"Not wanting to disappoint the king, the prince rode his white horse and dashed eastward that very day."

"Ausai Country was at the far west of the world, while Fire Phoenix Country was at the far east."

"On the first day, the prince arrived at a canyon and encountered a scorpion as big as a carriage. The scorpion told the prince that only by telling it what in the world is more poisonous than its tail sting could he pass, otherwise it would sting him to death..."

...

Yang Chen couldn’t help but become engrossed.

He had never heard this story before; it must be Ye Xin’s original creation.

He eagerly anticipated the moment the prince would meet the princess.

"After traveling for one hundred days, the prince finally arrived at a grand city. At the top of the city gate was carved a burning phoenix."

"The prince walked over and asked the guards: Where is the princess?"

"The guards asked him: Who are you, and why do you seek the princess?"

"The prince told them: I’m the prince from the distant west, from Ausai Country, here to pursue the princess!"

"Upon hearing this, the guards immediately captured him and told him: No one can pursue the princess!"

"The prince found it unbelievable; why would they say that no one can pursue the princess?"

"In the jail, a down-and-out old man shared a cell with the prince."

"The old man, noticing the prince’s exceptional attire and demeanor, asked him: Why are you locked up here?"

"The prince shared his identity and his purpose for coming."

"After hearing the story, the old man couldn’t help but laugh heartily, pointing at the prince and saying: No one can pursue the princess; abandon that thought!"

"The prince refused to accept this, declaring firmly: I will certainly pursue the princess!"

"At night, the old man told the prince that he had ground a piece of iron into a key that could open the dungeon door and allow escape, but he must take him with him. In return, the old man could tell the prince where Fire Phoenix Country’s princess was."

"The prince agreed, and under the cover of night, he took the old man and escaped the dungeon."

"In the forest, the old man told the prince that deep within the forest there was a volcano, and at the top there was a cave, where the princess resided."

"The prince thanked the old man, found his white horse, and headed toward the volcano."

"In the deep forest, the prince encountered tree people... and monstrous giant lizards..."

"After overcoming numerous obstacles, the prince finally arrived at the foot of the volcano."

"Under the cover of night, the prince climbed the volcano."

"He finally found that cave. In the moonlit darkness, he saw a woman standing at the cave’s edge, wearing a Fire Phoenix robe, looking so beautiful against the moonlight! The prince felt he fell in love with the princess in that instant!"

"The princess looked down and saw the disheveled prince, who had undergone countless hardships. His clothes were tattered as if he were a beggar, but the long spear in his hand and his eyes still shone brightly. Seeing the prince, the princess’s heart couldn’t help but start to beat."

"Along with the princess’s heartbeat, the magma inside the volcano began to churn, almost erupting!"

"The princess saw this and immediately transformed into a giant Fire Phoenix, carrying the prince away."

"However, after the prince and princess departed, the volcano didn’t calm down and continued to churn ominously, ready to erupt at any moment."

"The prince and princess fell in love..."

"The princess turned into a Fire Phoenix and carried the prince back to Ausai Country."

"The king had never actually been to Fire Phoenix Country; he had just heard such tales. He told the prince all this merely to temper him, but he never expected the prince would actually marry the princess! The king was very happy. He lifted the taxes nationwide, celebrated across the country, and held a grand wedding for the prince!"

"The prince and princess lived happily together..."

"But suddenly, three months later, the princess disappeared."

"The prince searched throughout the entire kingdom but could not find any trace of the princess."

"In the end, he found only a letter placed on his long spear."

"The princess told the prince that meeting him was the greatest honor of her life. Living together for three months was her greatest happiness. But she must leave, not wanting the prince to seek her, and he wouldn’t find her. She hoped the prince would continue to stay in Ausai Country and benefit his people."

"The prince did not heed the princess’s advice and again rode his white horse, battling through a hundred obstacles at fortresses, for one hundred days, arriving at Fire Phoenix Country, at that volcano."

"He saw the princess transform into a Fire Phoenix, diving into the magma, and disappearing."

"The prince was in great pain, and the old man appeared, telling the prince: No one can pursue the princess of Fire Phoenix Country, because if the princess of Fire Phoenix Country falls in love, it will cause the magma to erupt. A lovestruck princess only has three months to live, and to ensure the continuation of future generations, she must cast herself into the magma to calm the raging lava and nurture the life of the next generation."

"The old man told the prince to wait there for three months."

"Three months later, a young phoenix rose from the flames. The prince knew that this was the child of him and the princess."

"The old man told the prince that his child is the princess of Fire Phoenix Country, who must guard it. Meanwhile, he was the prince of Ausai Country and must manage his own kingdom."

"To avoid harming his child, the prince returned to Ausai Country and became its king."

After telling this, Ye Xin surprisingly shed tears.

"Did you understand?" Ye Xin asked the children.
