Do you think you know what darkness is?
But the truth is you merely adopted the dark.
While I was raised by it, I was molded by it, I lived in it.
One more thing they just realized is why the sky is so dark, is it already night?
but even though it was night why didn't they see the stars, the pale moon even the gray sky that used to adorn the sky all couldn't be seen what was left is only a pitch black darkness.
"Don't you think the sky looks weird?" Yang Zhou looked up at the sky and a deep sense of uneasiness held him rigid.
Ming Yue Yin looked up at the sky it was very similar to her dream about Lory's past and it gave a nerve-wracking sensation to her whole being.
"This is not the sky…. is a dark miasma" Ming Yue Yin's face turned pale.
"What does that mean?" Tao Bing Wen was perplexed.
Only people close to Lory knew about it and they all turn their eyes at Lory.
"You know who that woman is?" Tao Ji Fang whispered to Tao Bing Wen he had never seen a woman like Lory in his life.
"She's Long Ming's wife" Tao Bing Wen replied curtly.
Tao Li Fang was shocked, "I thought Luo Ri Yi was Long Ming's wife?"
Tao Bing Wen frowned "Yeah, it's Luo Ri Yi he just changed his appearance" Tao Bing Wen never realized his father is a bit slow.
"Huh?" Tao Ji Fang dumbfounded then glance at Lory and then whisper at his Son again "Is she...human?" Lory's appearance and strength weren't something a mere human could possess so it was natural for him to think that way.
"No..." Tao Bing Wen shook his head then his face beamed "She's a fairy"
Everyone also heard Tao Bing Wen's words and then made an 'O' expression they finally understand why Long Ming dotted his ordinary wife so much, turns out Long Ming's wife is a fairy, no wonder! simultaneously they all stare at Lory in complete admiration and also grateful cause Lory had saved and healed them.
Meanwhile the other didn't bother to correct them cause there was a bigger problem that is more urgent.
"Lory I felt something bad is coming" Ming Yue Yin's body trembles.
Lory stared for a moment toward the distance before she spoke in a heavy tone "You're not wrong..."
The volcano continuously spewed lava and gas into the air along with explosive sounds and lava flowed from the side of the mountain and slowly spread into the forest in an instant the green forest was consumed by the hot lava and gray smoke drifted into the air.
suddenly a glowing ball shot into the sky as fast as a bullet at first they thought it was lava rock spewed by the volcano but then the glowing ball floated in the sky with golden light.
[That flame…Lory, could it be?] Girsha's voice was shaken.
Lory's brows furrowed tightly, her breathing becoming erratic as a layer of unsettling emotion played across her face. Lory doesn't understand why fate is so cruel to her, is everything she's been through still not enough, what else must she do to prove herself, how much more do the gods expect of her?!
"Aunt isn't that the scary uncle, look he came to help us, right?!" Ming Yue Yin exclaimed in joy while pointing at Zhao Li Xin.
Instead of being happy Lory's face becomes etched with sadness, and helplessness.
Suddenly Lory turned her face "Can you jump out of here?" Lory said hurriedly.
"Huh, why?" Ming Yue Yin raised her brows in confusion then she realize Lory's expression is not right, something is scaring her.
"Go now, I will help you!" Lory ignored Ming Yue Yin's question and then created several magic circles in the air that served as footholds to help them go down.
"Lory, what's wrong with you? tell us, we will help you!" Yang Xi Ying had never seen Lory so disrupted before.
Lory shook his head "I don't have time to explain, you can't stay here, it's too dangerous" Lory shook his head.
"But, Auntie!" Ming Yue Yin resolutely refused.
"JUST GO!" Lory shouted impatiently.
Ming Yue Yin startled she was froze seeing Lory angry face for the first time, everyone was also dumbfounded by Lory's strong reaction.
Lory pinched her glabella she knew she was coming too hard on Ming Yue Yin and she feel guilty about it but her mind was so messed up right now she don't know what should she do. Lory took a deep breath to calm herself then she grab Ming Yue Yin's shoulder with both hands then bore her eyes into hers "I want you to go...please" Lory asked desperately almost like she was begging.
Ming Yue Yin bit her lip she was obviously still reluctant especially knowing there was a great danger waiting for them but suddenly Yuan Shao grabbed Ming Yue Yin's arm, "We have to go, Yue Yin..." he give Ming Yue Yin meaningful eyes.
Li Mo Zhen clenched his fists even though he didn't want to leave Lory alone but he knew lory was not someone who give orders arbitrarily without careful consideration, lory must know something that they don't, therefore, Lory doing this for their own good.
Li Mo Zhen look at his pregnant wife he knew what decision he should make.
Li Mo Zhen picks up Yang Xi Ying then he turns his face at Lory "We will go now!" Li Mo Zhen smiled wryly while Yang Xi Ying looked at Lory with teary eyes, so many words she want to say but her voice stuck in her throat.
Lory is grateful for Li Mo Zhen and Yuan Shao's understanding without them it will be impossible for Lory to get rid of these lovely but stubborn girls.
"Remember, in this time the dark creatures are stronger than ever so be careful...all of you" Lory shifts her gentle gaze at Yang Xi Ying.
"You must be careful too...Lory" a smile swept across Li Mo Zhen's handsome face then a second later he jumped down and the remainder of the Jiu Yun sect members jump then bounce between the magic circle all the way down, suddenly she heard Yang Xi Ying's loud voice.
"Lory you must come back, YOU HAVE TO!"
Lory thought Yang Xi Ying could actually scream when she wanted even though she always looked so demure and graceful, a faint, transient wistful smile lightened Lory brooding face.
"Bing Wen, we have to go too!" Tao Ji Fang pressed his hand on Tao Bing Wen's shoulder.
Tao Bing Wen clenched his jaw, he knew something really bad was going to happen and Lory wanted to face it all alone, although he didn't want to go however the reality remain that there was nothing he could do when a powerful cultivator like Yuan Shao, Li Mo Zhen and Ming Yue Yin even his own father were forced to leave.
"Lo Yi, you must be safe!" Tao Bing Wen tried to appear calm then he said again "After all, I...still owe you"
Lory chuckled seeing the boy act tough in front of her, "It's Lory, my name is Lory so don't forget that..stupid boy!" Lory scold him but the voice of her words was filled with warmth.
Tao Bing Wen rubbed his nose shyly then he waved at Lory before jumping down with Yang Zhou and the other Sword saint members, however, before leaving Tao Ji Fang cupped his fists then bowed politely towards her and Lory give a solemn bow in return.
The last one to leave was Yuan Shao and Ming Yue Yin, suddenly Ming Yue Yin throw her arms around Lory's neck and give lory a tight hug. "You will be fine right? promised me you will be okay!" her voice croaked from a suppressed sob.
Lory sighed and patted Ming Yue Yin's back, "I promise..." Lory then gently let go of Ming Yue Yin's embrace, "You have to go now!"
Yuan Shao held Ming Yue Yin's arm then he caught Lory moving her lips without a sound but Yuan Shao can read it clearly, saying: 'Take care of her'
Yuan Shao wasn't close to Lory like Li Mo Zhen but now he felt the corners of his eyes stinging, he nodded firmly and then jumped up with Ming Yue Yin, Lory saw their figures getting smaller and smaller before disappearing completely, she knew there is no a safe place on the Hwang Wu continent but at least they would be a lot safer than to be with her.
Lory took a deep breath and looked back at the fireball floating in the air, she must somehow thwart Lazarus' plans otherwise this world would be shrouded in the same darkness as her old world.
She had to end all of this because that was the purpose of her arrival in this world.
[Are you ready Lory?] Girsha said.
With a resolute expression, Lory replied firmly [I'm ready!]
