The Princess And The Lord

[Our Lory enters the forest whispering, there's too much dark miasma and the place protected with a strong barrier so I can't get in without making some noise, the whole forest is covered in miasma….this is preposterous] Girsha is annoying with the sight he is seeing because It reminds him with Verriond where the whole world was covered with black miasma seeping into the sky pushing everything and everyone in madness, he never thought she would see the same sight again.

Lory could feel it too, her countenance makes her prone to be sensitive to any kind of dark power. [It's fine, I can handle this on my own…]

[Are you sure?] Girsha feels a bit hesitant.

Lory chuckle softly [Of course, after all, someone still owed me quite a lot]

For a second Girsha didn't understand what Lory talking about but then he remember, [Huh?....oh yeah, that woman... who is that woman's name again?] 

[Zi Quan Mei] Lory reminds him with a cold tone, [It's amazing how one person can owe me so much…]

Girsha heard her and laughs [ She sure is, but I never expected she has it…..do you think it's fate?]

Lory lean her head to the cold carriage wall and let out a long heave [You know what, I don't know anymore]

Lory could feel the movement of the carriage she was riding getting rougher indicating that they're going off-road, and from a small hole in the carriage, Lory could see the light slowly fading.

Lory turned her gaze to Bai Zi, "We are about to enter a place full of dark poison, and I feel the place we are heading to will have a denser mass therefore I will give you my blessing to protect you."

Bai Zi knew Lory was different from others actually he could feel it from the moment he saw her but he never told Shin Jiu because he wasn't sure but he believed with all his heart that Lory wasn't a bad person, on the contrary, Lory was shrouded in sacred power just like a goddess.

"Understood, I believe everything in your capable hands" Bai Zi bent his forelegs then lowered his head.

Lory placed her hand on the tiger's forehead, she closed her eyes and started conjuring a spell, and Bai Zi's entire body was covered with a soft purple light.

when the carriage door opened, Lory was greeted with a sour face of Zi Quan Mei, "Get out!" he said harshly.

Without giving replied Lory got out of her prison carriage. Once she got out she immediately notice the air around her was filled with dense dark miasma. Normal humans wouldn't able to stay in this place for more than two weeks without going insane.

However, he saw that Wei Zu Tian and Zi Quan Mei looked quite normal enough, Lory wonder if it was due to their high cultivation that they were somehow able to ward off the miasma influence but Lory couldn't believe they couldn't do this for long.

"Why are you looking at me, did you finally move by my appearance?" Wei Zu Tian smiled mischievously.

Lory raised an eyebrow and smiled sarcastically, "If it makes you feel better, sure..." Lory answers lazily while looking around her seemingly unbothered with Wei Zu tian thinking.

Wei Zu Tian's face darkened, this woman really knew how to irritate him, "Humph, sooner or later you will beg me" Wei Zu Tian wanted to see how scared this woman was when she saw what was inside this place, she might go crying and begging for mercy, he couldn't wait for the day this arrogant woman would trample beneath him, Wei Zu Tian wanted to know when that happened will Zhao Li Xin still wanted her or not? Imagine the anger and pain on Zhao Li Xin's face Wei Zu Tian feels exhilarated, his lips involuntarily curled into an evil smile.

As he walked into the abandoned temple, they walked past many guards all equipped with weapons and armor, they all glanced at Lory before they saluted Wei Zu Tian. Zi Quan Mei sneered when she saw Lory become quiet, she thought Lory must be scared after she arrived at this place but actually, Lory made a calculation in her head about the whole situation, she make a point of how many people were guarding this place, how many possible entrance, what her advantage and what her loss she got at the same time she mapping the whole place in her head.

Perhaps the best trump card she got is that people don't know how much she's been trained and what she is capable of.

In Lory's head, she could hear Fargo words resound 'There is time for everything princess, time to cry, time to angry, time to silence, time to run, and time to scare, either way, you cannot lose control of whatever happened in front of you cause your life depends on it so stay calmed, stay focused, remember what is your goal, and what is your goal now, Lory?'

Lory take a deep breath as she collect her thoughts, 'I need to find Shin Jiu' she said to herself.

Lory's gaze suddenly fell on a high pagoda in the distance that stood alone on a cliff, he felt something watching him from a distance, Lory then turned her gaze and she faintly heard a groaning sound from a building not far from her, Lory could feel it. he. he. the hairs on his spine stood up as the air was filled with the scent of death.

"Would you like to see that?" Zi Quan Mei sneered.

Lory knew Zi Quan Mei wanted to scare her, the woman seemed to enjoy torturing her so Lory gave her what she wanted. Lory answer Zi Quan Mei's question with eyes filled with horror and Zi Quan Mei gave Lory a condescending laugh.

Lory was speechless seeing the joy on Zi Quan Mei's face, should she be so happy after successfully scaring her, Lory didn't understand why Zi Quan Mei hated her so much was it because of Zhao Li Xin?

"Take our special guest to his special room" Wei Zu Tian suddenly said to Zi Quan Mei.

Zi Quan Mei smiled evilly as she understood the meaning behind Wei Zu Tian's words, her face beaming as her eyes glittered with malice.

Zi Quan Mei drag Lory to the building where the medium size building where the moaning was, at the front of the building two men with guard the place, they opened the door without asking when they saw Zi Quan Mei come with Lory, as she walked past the row of the room the moaning and whimper become clear some of them even banging against the wall repeatedly like crazy animals, the atmosphere immediately reminded Lory of the mental hospital she used to see in movies, Lory couldn't help but feel slightly anxious.

Zi Quan Mei pushed Lory back into the room then she mock her "Enjoy your room!" she had a very happy sneer on her face then she slammed the door shut.

The room was four by four meters without windows, the room was only lit by one candle combined with the ominous groans from the other rooms, and the dark miasma around her, Lory couldn't deny that the place was quite terrifying.

Lory rubbed her arm to soothe the beating heart in her chest, the horrible sound affected her deeply, their despair reminded her of the dark past under the influence of Lazarus' curse, though her memory was hazy and unclear, however, Lory remembered how she felt at that time, she remembered the fear and despair the curse had brought upon him, the nasty voice in her head the cruel illusion in her head, tortured her in the way she cannot explain if only Girsha wasn't there to block some of the influence that dreads her mind, Lory was sure she couldn't make it.

[Lory, are you okay?] Girsha feels the odd fluctuation in Lory's heart [If you can't stand it, just tell me, don't worry we can use the hard way, anyway! I think he will happily turn this place upside down]

Lory was taken aback from her daze, [He?]

[Your man and his people] Girshastate the obvious Girsha's voice is etched in a playful tone [They are here! your man watching from the hills with a ferocious glare, you must see his face right now, boy, I think he's ready to burn this whole forest just to get you]

Lory fell silent a second later a faint smile spread across her face and the fear that enveloped her heart as a journey gradually disappeared. Yes, what should he be afraid of? she wasn't alone, besides if she was afraid she couldn't imagine how Shin Jiu would feel right now, she had to find her right away!

[I'm fine old birdie, please remind my husband not to do anything reckless before I give him the sign] Lory feels an amount of comfort knowing Zhao Li Xin is close.
