The Princess And The Lord

The honest tiger trusts Lory with all his heart, therefore, he feels more sorry for Lory "Misstress you have been injured from previous fight and now you are almost buried alive thank goodness nothing happened to you otherwise how can I face master Shin Jiu" tiger said in utter guilt and sadness.

Lory's conscience suddenly stabbed, "Uhm…well…I'm fine, see!" Lory quickly used her healing gift to heal herself and the wounds all over her body disappeared without a trace then she grin at Bai Zi "See, like new, right!~" Lory cheerfully said.

Normally Lory wouldn't use healing gifts for minor wounds due to mana wastage and using too many healing gifts for one body would create dependency and lower her ability to tolerate pain which makes her body weaken therefore Lory rarely healed herself unnecessarily, but to comfort Bai Zi Lory had no choice but to help herself just to comfort the innocent white tiger.

Bai Zi's face lit up with joy after she saw all of Lory's wounds fully healed, "Madam's strength is truly extraordinary!" he said with relief and awed.

Lory smiled awkwardly, "No, it's okay..." This time her face was red due to Bai Zi's excessive praise, luckily the stains on her face covered her blushing face. Lory then wiped herself with the clean wet towel she got from her ring, after she cleaned herself Lory felt much better then she changed into a dark uniform to enhance her mobility, and now Lory is ready to face anything.

"let's go now!" Lory said to Bai Zi.

Lory lit the torch and then he found himself in a tunnel with half crushed bricks and the remaining cracked teal and covered with green moss, Lory touched the bricks of the wall and then realized that someone must have built this place long ago but who? she didn't know, was it normal for a Buddhist temple to have a place underground?

[Girsha I found an underground tunnel, it's clearly built by humans, can you ask Zhao Li Xin if it's normal for a temple to have a dungeon, maybe for shelter or escape?]

Girsha who was outside shortly after replied [Your husband said he never heard of this, most Monks do not interfere with the outside world at least from outside but your man says he never heard or see temples have an underground place] Girsha said.

[I dunno, this place looks like it was built a long time ago maybe the situation was different back then?] Lory guessed.

[It's possible...] Girsha wasn't sure either.

Lory rubbed her finger on the brick wall and felt these bricks were different from the ones she was used to seeing outside, Lory didn't know how old this tunnel was but it seemed quite old so there's no way Lao Min Na made this place, [I will investigate this place further] Lory said.

[Becareful, girl] Girsha warns her again before their connection cuts.

Since Lory reached adolescence, she has entered many underground tombs, caves, and abandoned ruins whether she came with Girsha or with her brothers so that Lory had quite a deep knowledge of what would happen in such a place as well as expectations about what may come. Two blades were placed on both of her thighs and a sword was neatly wrapped around his back with thick miasma all around her, she could smell danger all over the place and Lory could only prepare for the worst.

"What place is this?" Lory looked up at the arched ceiling which was half-destroyed and covered in so many cracks that the mural painted on the roof looked blurry and maybe because it had taken so long the colors had faded a lot.

Lory guessed this place might have been a residence, a palace maybe, or something.

"Bai Zi can you feel Shin Jiu's presence?" Lory asked.

"Yes madam, my master's aura became clearer after I was here, there is no doubt that he must be here" Bai Zi sounded very sure his face was shining with joy.

"That's good then," Lory said relieved "The sooner we find him the sooner we carry out the next plan"

"I hope our plan works, mistress," Bai Zi said hopefully.

Lory smiled "Don't worry, my husband is reliable and the four King palace will assist him greatly, we will not fail" Lory said confidently.

Without further ado, the two of them hasten their pace to Shin Jiu where being, Lory used strengthening spell to make herself able to run as fast as Bai Zi that already return to his normal size, the two of them run in lightning speed suddenly a beast with sharp claw jump onto her, startled but Lory managed to dodged she slide with her knee on the floor at the same time she took out the dagger and slash the beast stomach from below.

Bai Zi roared and charged at the other beasts, Lory got up and took out the other dagger from her thigh, she multiplied the dagger and threw it in the air as the dagger spun around and attacked all the beasts that look as big as a horse that glaring with fiery red eyes and bare its long fangs, the Beast looked like a wild dog with rough black fur, obviously, this is another species of Hybrid Beast created by Lao Min Na and Lazarus.

Surrounded by giant wild dogs beast Lory remained calm, she stabilized her breath first while controlling the dagger to attack the beast then she turned her gaze to Bai Zi and saw the white tiger surrounded by three beasts but Bai Zi didn't seem to be overwhelmed by them which is good.

One of the beasts saw Lory's concentration splitting then it lunges towards her, Lory rolled to the side before it was too late then she summoned a bow from his ring immediately casting a wind spell Lory repeatedly released wind arrows and the arrow wound the beast's body and legs as it makes the beast bleeding soon the beast groaned in pain. 

Without wasting her time Lory cast another spell 'Ice thorn' and from the ground hundred of spikes made of ice emerged and pierced through all the beasts like skewers.

The beast died instantly and so did the demon parasite within, The expected result didn't surprise her.

Lory then ran towards Bai Zi to help him kill the Demon parasite but then Bai Zi's long roar resounded like thunder and white energy emitted from the beast's scream and fell to the ground with blood spurting out of their eyes, nose, and ears, it seemed Bai Zi was using the sound waves to destroy the beast from inside, but what surprised Lory is when she saw the Demon Parasite turn to ashes.

'How is this possible?' Lory's eyes widened in surprise, she thought only her power could kill Demon's parasite so how come this happened?

"How do you do it?" Lory turned her shocked gaze to Bai Zi.

"Mrs?" Bai Zi tilted his head not knowing what made Lory look shocked.

Lory didn't have time to be surprised when she heard footsteps coming from behind her, Lory called the dagger back "Someone's coming!" Lory said to Bai Zi and the tiger instantly became alert.

The dagger circled around Lory as Lory prepared to welcome whatever came her way, the sound of footsteps gradually clearer, from the darkness the silhouette of a woman slowly getting clearer.

suddenly something rolled towards Lory's feet, she took a step back while looking down and squint her eyes inquisitively, turned out it was a human skull.

Lory could still see the blood and a bit of flesh left on the skull indicating this corpse had not been dead long.

"Mistress!" Bai Zi's alert increased rapidly.

Lory raised her hand to calm the tiger down. "Relax..." Lory reminded Bai Zi in a low tone, then Lory store the bow back to her ring and drew her sword from her back while her eyes fixated on the approaching silhouette.

Then suddenly a huge air fell on top of her and Bai Zi, immediately they jumped in two different directions, however, the attack managed to graze Lory's arm and tear her sleeve. After they safely dodge the attack Lory and Bai Zi exchanged glances to confirm each other's safety after that they turned their gazes to whatever was trying to turn the two of them into mincemeat.

Lory was taken aback by the gigantic white claw that looked like a human skull, the claw knew it missed its mark, it clawing at the ground left a distinctive mark on the ground as its owner pulled back its claws.

"You should not run," the strange voice said in annoyance as the silhouette entered the dim light.

Lory's eyes widened as he recognized this woman before "S...Sanguan Li Ye?!"

Sanguan Li Ye is one of the survivors of the destruction of the Sanguan family, in the past, he wanted to snatch Girsha from Lory but he instead angered Girsha so that she was injured as a result later after she was paralyzed and lost her hearing ability then Sanguan Li Ye and her mother, Zi The widowed Yi Ru returned to their maternal family at the Heavenly Immortal Sect.

A crippled and half deft woman from a ruined family definitely doesn't have a bright future, Sanguan Li Ye is stressed and begs her mother to heal her at any cost, Zi Yi Ru who already lost her son Sanguan Wu Ci, cannot bear to lose her daughter either and desperate time help came from Lao Min through Zi Quan Mei.
