The first time Zhao Li Xin met Lory was in the forest just a few meters from the Lao manor residence and because of my carelessness, he nearly died when he was attacked alone during a relapse of his old illness, even though Zhao Li Xin knew he won't die, but the caused of this severe injury will aggravate his already weak body.
Cause his high cultivation, many people think Zhao Li Xin pretend to be weak but the truth is the opposite, he was the dying prince. Zhao Li Xin had no doubt that he won't live long, it was only because of his special body and exceptional talent he able to cultivate despite his severe condition, even so, he know the stronger his cultivation become the closer he is to death because the sand castle can't withstand the strong tide no matter how solid the castle foundation was, it's still made of sands, therefore he realizes that he didn't have much time, therefore, he had to kill as many of his enemies as he could before he died because if he had to die he would have to bury all his enemies along with him.
Unfortunately, the aftermath of that attack made my life shorter and it was all due to my stupidity. Amidst the darkness even though I lost consciousness, I could feel someone approaching me, I thought it was an enemy but the steps were too light and there was no killing intent emanating from that person, but rather a unique scent that he had never smelled before, a relaxing scent that cooled his blood lust suddenly a small hand touched his chest followed by a sweet and gentle voice
"May the light guide your way even in the darkest path, young Prince..."
Lory's words struck him like lightning in broad daylight evoking feelings he thought he never had, and since then the sound and smell had become his longstanding obsession.
Needless to say, Zhao Li Xin didn't know what those feelings were because Zhao Li Xin grew up not knowing what love was, no one teach him that, and what made things worse he grew up in the Imperial palace harem.
The imperial harem was not a place where love blossomed it was a place where love and sincerity died so since he was young Zhao Li Xin's heart died little by little in that place and when he grew into a youth nothing was left in his heart or so he thought until Lory comes.
Since when did that obsession change into love?
He was not sure but maybe since that day he saw her among the strange blue flower, a woman stood gracefully among the sea of blue flowers, her beautiful eyes hides so many secrets but it still clearer than spring water and purer than the falling snow.
Zhao Li Xin didn't know the 'name' of this feeling at that time but one thing for sure is he want to be close to her in any way he can.

Another strike landed on Lao Min Na who was barely able to dodge as a result the flames grazed her arm causing reddish-black burns on her arm.
"Long Ming, STOP!" snapped Lao Min Na.
Zhao Li Xin ignores her scream, she won't forgive Lao Min Na who is constantly crossing his bottom lines.
How dare Lao Min Na proposes that insidious plan in front of him whether until now she still did not understand the meaning of Lory to him, the meaning of her existence to him.
At the same time, Lao Min Na was overwhelmed by Zhao Li Xin's rage, she didn't understand why Zhao Li Xin was so angry. Doesn't he want to spend his whole life with that woman then what is the importance of where Lory's soul goes after that, is it not enough to spend one lifetime with that woman did Zhao Li Xin still want to be with him even in the afterlife, was Zhao Li Xin that naive?
"Long Ming, do you know what Lazarus plans for you?!" Lao Min Na is still trying to reason with him "Lazarus's plan is definitely cruel and terrible you probably won't have time this little time to spend with that woman, is that what you want? do you want to be dragged to hell with her?!"
Zhao Li Xin smirked "you finally understand" he waved his hand and the blaze of fire like spinning like a giant drill moving in speed towards Lao Min Na.
Lao Min Na swiftly crossed her hands to build a barrier around her, but all of a sudden her barrier shatter against Zhao Li Xin's powerful attack causing her to slam to the ground with a very loud sound and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth soon after fresh dark blood seeps from her tattered clothes.
"You are crazy…" Lao Min Na winced while clutching her chest in pain as she struggled to stand up.
"Long Ming, don't you know what Lazarus can do to you? trust me after what I went through with Lazarus you don't want to go through the same thing!"
Zhao Li Xin furrowed his brows curiously, "Why do you care so much about what happens to me?" Zhao Li Xin cannot believe it because her infatuation with him, no!
Zhao Li Xin felt that there was something odd about Lao Min Na's persistence in pulling him to her side, and the more he thought about it the more suspicious it became.
Even in the past, Zhao Li Xin knew that Lao Min Na's attraction to him wasn't genuine because he knew for certain what could attract a woman like Lao Min Na, first and foremost it must be her strength, after that his authority as Hei Shen Sect leader than his violent character, and when it comes o his appearance? Zhao Li Xin knew it just only served as icing on the cake, it doesn't necessary but it was not bad.
However, after she got all his wishes from Lazarus, why did she still persist to get him to her side then suddenly dawned on him that Lao Min Na, just like Lory, Lao Min Na also used her soul as collateral to exchange for demonic power, which meant she was also cursed like Lory and just like Lory if one day he dies his soul will belong to Lazarus.
That's why she doesn't want Lazarus to die because if Lazarus dies it means her soul will also perish with that dam demon because unlike Lory Lao Min Na doesn't have the ability to break free from Lazarus' curse so she can't help but be stuck with Lazarus for better or worse.
"Of course..." Zhao Li Xin's lips curved into a sinister smile. "I think you're the one who's going to be dragged to hell by that demon right, unlike my wife. Once Lory collects all the trinity's fragments, she'll be able to break free from her curse and when I manage to kill that demon you'll perish with him, right" The smile on his face grew wider as he was finally able to reveal Lao Min Na's motives.
Lao Min Na clenched her fist after Zhao Li Xin revealed her motive right in her face which was very embarrassing but she actually expect it, Lao Min Na knew it was a long shot to get Zhao Li Xin on her side but she still wanted to try it, after all, no one likes being in control for eternity.
"Sooner or later your soul will fall into Lazarus' grip because no human is immortal unless...you have a way..." Zhao Li Xin's eyes flickered seemingly he had discovered another secret of Lao Min Na.
When Zhao Lixin investigated further, Lao Min Na's black blood had dripped from her finger onto the ground and then slowly flowed around the ground where Zhao Li Xin was standing before long black smoke suddenly appeared from under Zhao Li Xin's feet.
Shocked, Zhao Li Xin quickly jumped out of the ground but Lao Min Na's blood had created a ring in which a transparent red dome engulfed and then trapped Zhao Li Xin within.
"Oh, interesting..." instead of fear, excitement flashed in his cold eyes.
"Something more interesting will appear soon" Lao Min Na viciously smirks.
a head emerged from the ground it was the head of a very beautiful woman with an ample chest and a sexy body the problem is the woman didn't wear any clothes, Instead of evoking his arousal instead the aura around Zhao Li Xin dropped to the lowest point he wonders if this another Lao Min Na stupid plan, in order to separate him from Lory.
Zhao Li Xin immediately swept his gaze around him afraid that Lory would suddenly appear and got misunderstood.
But when the other half of the woman came up from the ground the woman's body from the waist down was covered with brown scales and a tail like a snake it turned out that the woman was half snake - half human.
the whites of the woman's eyes turned black and she stuck out her split tongue which resembled a snake.
"Oh, Lesser-demon" Zhao Li Xin sign in relief but then still he frowned indignantly, saying: "Still, can you wear something, you make me very uncomfortable… more like nausea if you want to know"
"KILL HIM!" Lao Min Na screams furiously.
Zhao Li Xin's nose twitched as the snake roared and then lunged bearing her claws.
"So is a 'no'... so uncomfortable" he laments.
