The Princess And The Lord

At the Tie shan manor, the wind blow strongly and shook the leaves from the three, the grey cloud hovers in the sky as a reminder of the rainy season has come, the air becomes colder cause the sun is too lazy to shine today. Two beautiful women sit on the small stool at the side of the garden and another three women stand behind them, their eyes fixed on the two figures who stand face to face on the wide-area.

A white bird glide on the sky then slowly land smoothly on the branch his green eyes glistening as he watches the woman with bluish wavy hair tie her hair into a ponytail.

"Are you ready?" Lory grinned at Mong Yi.

Although he feel reluctant he can't refuse her, Mong Yi finally realizes why his Lord never win when he argues with Lory, she really is a strong contender "Yes, madam, please pay attention to your safety"

Lory smirk "And so are you…" Lory take out her twin red dagger behind her sleeves, she held each dagger in her hands then she released her grip, and the dagger floating in the air then suddenly whirl around her in fast movement as if it's alive.

"I hope you prepare yourself" Lory grinned as she warns Mong Yi.

The warning received instantly, the aura around Mong Yi changes dramatically. He never saw anyone who could use a weapon like that, he realizes that Lory is serious to fight with him. Mong yi never fight with anyone like Lory so he feel excited to see what she can do, he make a fighting stance "I'm ready madam" he said.

"Good!" Lory waved his hand and the daggers fly towards Mong Yi.

He thought he could avoid the dagger easily but suddenly the dagger multiply to a dozen, he dodged to the side as he evades the daggers one by one. Because of his high cultivation, it didn't take long before he breaks away from the swarming danger and marches towards her. 

Mong Yi stretches his hand to reach her while Lory stands without moving, Mong Yi thought the fight would end faster than he thought, he feel relief but disappointed at the same time, just when his mind lost his focus his hand reach for Lory's shoulder and suddenly her images shattered like glass.

Mong Yi was stunned before he could comprehend what happened Lory already strike him from behind, he instantly throws a back punch in reflex, he realizes what he had done but he can't stop himself he gritted his teeth to hold his movement but to no avail, then suddenly a strange thing happened, when his punch touch Lory her image once again shattered like glass, Mong Yi widen his eyes.

All of a sudden he feel a cold air run from above him, he lifts his head and shocked by dozens of dagger rained over him, Mong Yi feel emanated danger came at him, knowing is too late to gather his qi to block the raining dagger he somersaults to the side. The daggers miss their target and pierce to the ground leaving stabbing noise in the air.

Mong Yi search where Lory is then out of nowhere he was hit by a strong wind, Mong Yi was pushed back but able to remain to stand, Mong Yi, saw Lory stand quite far from him then she waved her hands profusely and more winds hit him from every direction incessantly, Mong Yi got hit a few time but able to dodged after he's able to sense where the wind flow.

Meanwhile Ming Yue Yin, Yang Xi Ying, and the Su sister watch with awed, they never saw Lory fight seriously before even when she teaches Ming Yue Yin and Yang Xi Ying she does it leisurely, they never thought Lory hide great talent behind her silly attitude. 

On the other hand, Mong Yi wants to strike Lory but he is not sure if she not another illusion she created, Lory knows what he is thinking "If you want to know if I'm real or not, watch my shadow!" she shouted.

Mong Yi was startled, the young madam has kindly given him a clue, just like thought the one stand in front of him is not the real Lory, it just another illusion, he squinted his eyes searching for lory shadow then he saw a small dark shadow above him and gradually grew bigger, his keen sense feel the threat came from above.

Mong Yi used his qi to block the attack at the same time a purple shield collide with Mong Yi Qi and created a shock wave that the impact hit all the tree and grass around them, Ming Yue Yin and the other already gather their Qi to block themselves from the impact.

Smoke and dust float in the air and block their view, it took a few seconds before everything subside, when everything becomes clearer it shows Mong Yi kneel on the ground while crossing his hand above his head while Lory's hand is against Mong Yi hands. Lory pursed her lips then smack Mong Yi's head "I told you to be serious!" she complains.

Mong Yi rubs his head and whines "But I am…."

Lory click is tongue "Liar, I know you are stronger than this…"

"Madam, I did hold myself a little but you are really strong, no wonder that stupid 'holy lady' lost against you" Mong Yi finally experience first hand how deathly Lory is and she said she still not regains all her power, if she does Mong Yi is certain he could never win against her.

He thought Zhao Li Xin is scary enough who knew he found a wife who is as scary as him, turn out is 'match made in heaven'

"What level are you?" Lory ask

"Emperor level at peak stage" he replies.

Lory was surprised "Really, I thought I only can fight against heavenly king level cultivator?" she suddenly stare with probing eyes at Mong Yi "Tell me how much you hold yourself?" she had witnessed Zhao Li Xin power he can't believe it if mong Yi said he had fight seriously with her. 

Mong Yi scratches his head helplessly "Not much, young madam believes me if you think I didn't give much resistance that because I don't know where to aimed, your illusion confusing me!"

Lory narrowed her eyes in doubt "Really?"

"Really!" Mong Yi wants to cry, no matter how strong his cultivation is, one has to know where to aimed their power first before he could strike his opponent. Mong Yi genuinely overwhelmed by Lory power, if Lory could make hundreds of illusion in one go it would become a great diversion that even sovereign cultivator would find it hard to fight against it.

"Aunty!" Ming Yue Ying run towards Lory excitedly "That is so awesome, that is a great illusion you must show me again later"

Yang Xi Ying reaction is calmer but she was as amazed as Ming Yue Yin "by the way what is the last movement you do, the light seems similar to the one you used against Lao Min Na"

"Oh This" Lory raised her palms and a small purple circle cover with rune and weird symbol appear "It's Lucient shield when I got all my power I could expand the shield as big as a small city," she said casually then she closes her palms and the circle disappeared.

Lory doesn't realize how much shocked she gives to her friends, it was a normal occurrence in her life almost like a tradition that passes from one king to another, the King built three crystal tower and Cestine palace as the main tower, the crystal used to amplified and prolong the King shiels after the king activated his shield, after that the shield that protects the whole kingdom would last for thirty years until the next King restore the power, she wonders if Lucas built the tower yet because the last tower destroys during Nazareth attack.

"I remember in a dream something shattered in the sky when a black dragon released the flaming breathes from his mouth…" Min Yue Yin said in low voice, she knew other than Lazarus, the black dragon Nazareth is her sour spot.

The past seems a faraway dream for her, something that brings bittersweet feeling at her "The King shield break when the Black dragon going rampage, if not because the shield I don't think my people would have time to runaway" her eyes filled with melancholy just like the old soldier reminiscence the war they left behind.

"Let's eat dumpling!" Yang Xi Ying suddenly shouted.

Lory takes aback from her stupor "Dumpling?"

"Yes, the golden swallow inn sends their famous crystal dumpling, you wanna try?" Yang Xi Ying wiggles her brows.

Lory roll her eyes "You need to ask?" 

"Go – go – go!" Ming Yue Yin pulls Lory's arms in a hurry.

"Mong Yi we left dumpling for all of you in the kitchen just make it yourself!" Yang Xi Ying reminds Mong Yi who stood quietly.

"Thank you miss Yang!" he answers with a flustered look.

The three girls and her maid left in a hurry and the atmosphere turn normal again. Mong Yi stares at the direction Lory disappeared, he wonders how harsh her life was, a once celebrated Princess turn into a warrior then she becomes a sinner who dwelled with a demon, the first time he met Lory Mong Yi never would have guessed Lory hide horrible past.

Turn out she just like his Lord, while Zhao Li Xin used a cold mask to hide his pained Lory used smiles to do the same nonetheless their past is so awful none of them like to talk about it but at least Zhao Li Xin never have a good life to be sad about unlike Lory who seem have a happy life. He can't imagine how desperate she was until she gives herself to a Demon.

Mong Yi feel a grieves for his mistress, why all the kindest one who always suffer the most? Even Zhao Li Xin once very kind before he changes the way he is now. Mong Yi took out a small pouch from his collar he opens the pouch then childish smile bloom on his face. 

Inside the pouch was not gold, silver, or gems, but various candies in different sizes, shapes, and colors. The candies have long expired judging how dull the color is, but for Mong Yi, this is his most valuable treasure in the world that no amount of gold in the world could match.
