While Qingfeng was speaking with Black Puppy in their room, deep within the Imperial Palace, in the Palace of the Crown Prince, a young man of about twenty years of age lay resting on a cushioned jade bed.
He was covered in a swan-down duvet, made entirely from natural feathers, that glowed with a soft radiance. The bed below was constructed entirely from high-quality white jade; it nourished the bodies of those who slept on it. The wisps of spirit energy the bed emitted were beneficial for the progression of self-cultivators.
This young man was very handsome. His skin was pale as snow, like that of a woman. His hair was long, his brows thin, but his thin lips made gave him a brooding air.
The man wore a robe with a python pattern. The python it depicted was in fact a Four-Clawed Python-Dragon, indicating him as someone of importance. This was the Crown Prince of Lingyun, first in line for the seat of Emperor.
