The Princess And The Lord

After the battle in the whispering forest, the entire country immediately learned what had happened in the Liang Zu kingdom and how Long Ming, Empress Ming, Li Mo Zhen, and even Yuan Shao who was known as the new tribe's king from Zhuang Dong continent joined hands to fight against the Hybrid beasts that were lead by Lao Min Na and Wei Zu Tian from the Heaven's Gate sect.

However, what was amazing was that there were no civilian casualties from the Liang Zu kingdom at all even though the capital and city of Sun Jan which was said the main focus of the attack was not damaged.

People said this was due to the careful planning of Long Ming, Empress Ming, Li Mo Zhen, and Yuan Shao, of course, the combination of several smart people could achieve extraordinary results beyond normal people comprehension and as a result, Wei Zu Tian who was said to be invincible on the Hwang Wu continent had to flee with his tail between his legs after he lost against Long Ming.

Everyone arrogantly laughed at Wei Zu Tian, all this time people thought the people of the Xing Fang continent were inferior compared to the Hwang Wu continent not only in cultivation but also in knowledge and skills but see what happened now? In the end, the most powerful man from the Hwang Wu continent, Wei Zu Tian lost miserably at the hands of Long Ming.

People also got furious with Lao Min Na, they consider her as a traitor, therefore, she will no longer be welcome on the Xing Fang continent, even all Martial sects and family clans that had cooperated with Lao Min Na and joined business venture with her also received heavy criticism from those around them and it causing irreparable damage to their reputation and their business.

When Zhao Li Xin, Ming Yue Yin, Li Mo Zhen, and Yuan Shao were showered with praise and admiration, Lao Min Na became the most hated figure in the continent if not the world since there were already three continents blacklist her name.

Hence as all of Lao Min Na's bad deeds from the past were dug up and laid open in the public, of course, the one who instigate this rumor was Bei Li Yan and his Vermilion palace if not with how cautious Lao Min Na was how could people know.

Bei Li Yan deliberately hit the iron when it hot to corner Lao Min Na and make sure there's no other sects or family clans who dare join with Lao Min Na again, with his diligent effort Bei Li Yan successfully instigated everyone's wrath since then people can't stop spat three timed every time they mention Lao Min Na's name as if mentioning her name will bring bad luck to them.

While people were in an uproar, Zhao Li Xin invite not only the four king's palace but also Tian Meng Ji, Ming Yue Yin, Li Mo Zhen, Yang Xi Ying, and Yuan Shao, he told them what Huo Long told him before about this world connection with Lory and how to killed Demon parasite by purifying Qi into condensed energy although the last step was quite easy. but the purifying step was a bit complicated because unlike using Qi in normal fights, purifying needs to stable the Qi, and to do that the mind and body should be in sync.

When everyone tries to do as Zhao Li Xin show this method turns out to be easy in theory but very hard to implement, but for Wu san Bo and Bei Li Yan they have other things to do so after practice two days they had no choice but leave to settle their own matter and practice alone, the same thing happened to Ming Yue Yin and Yuan Shao after what happened they cannot leave the palace for too long especially when Yuan Shao in the mids of preparing a formal proposal for Ming Yue Yin.

"Finally!" that's all people could think when they hear the long-awaited news.

However, there was only one person who seemed relaxed.

Lory sat inside the pavilion eating cake while watching Yang Xi Ying training in the garden, Yang Xi Ying stood with an upright posture she opened her palms and closed her eyes, she took a deep breath as she begin to concentrate, her long eyelashes flutter as she struggles to maintain her focus, Lory could felt the Qi around Yang Xi Ying gradually changing, unfortunately, she lost focus and the Qi she painstakingly stabilizes scattered and dissipated, she was failed again...

Yang Xi Ying grumbled and stomped his feet angrily then she turn around and walked to the pavilion with heavy steps, then she picked up the teacup and drank it in an impolite manner, ignoring the etiquette she used to carry.

"Relax, don't be stressed, it's not good for your baby" Lory reminded her.

Yang Xi Ying let out a long sigh, she take a sit then gently rubbed her already slightly bulging stomach, "I'm just annoyed, I've been practicing for three days straight but I'm still failing, did you know that Brother Li manage to succeeded yesterday?" she expressed her anger and envy.

Lory propped her chin while chewing her cake "Are you guys competing with each other now?"

Yang Xi Ying lifted her chin and snort arrogantly, "Of course!"

Lory rolled her eyes, she was sure this must be  Yang Xi Ying's one-sided feeling, Li Mo Zhen might not even notice if he knew he would deliberately delay his advance for fear of disappointing his pregnant wife...again.

'Poor man' Lory secretly lit the candle for the oblivious husband, Li Mo Zhen.

Yang Xi Ying suddenly remembered something then she turned her gaze towards Lory, "Are you really going to Hwan Wu continent tomorrow?"

"Hm? Lory answered nonchalantly.

Yang Xi Ying looked at Lory anxiously "This time you will search for the location of the Crimson Lightning sword, right?"

"Yeah, we already know the exact location..." Lory finished her cake, she clapped to get rid of the crumbs in her hands.

"You seem calm?" Yang Xi Ying narrowed her eyes, "After Lord Zhao said about the connection between this world and your old world since a long time ago, you didn't make any comment… and that worries me, I'm sure Master Zhao feels the same way too…" Yang Xi Ying folded her arm on the table as she express her concern.

Yang Xi Ying couldn't even understand the amount of burden Lory was carrying, she couldn't understand how a woman could bear such a burden alone, Lory had been trampled and thrown away between two worlds, she had lost too much and sacrificed too many things that Yang Xi Ying couldn't imagine how Lory would come to terms with her fate, how she makes sense everything that happens to her if this happens to normal people they would already give up a long time ago, at least she would.

But not Lory...not her.

"Lory, are you okay?" Yang Xi Ying asked again.

Lory smiled faintly and shrugged "I don't know...maybe because I wasn't surprised, I always know there was more to it, and the more I know the more it makes sense to me..." Lory played with the half-empty teacup she looked down at her teacup with an indescribable expression.

"Do you think Lao Min Na and that Demon will try to stop you?" Yang Xi Ying anxiously asks.

Lory glances at Yang Xi Ying and chuckles lightly "I believe they already waiting for me"

Yang Xi Ying's face turns ashen, she doesn't realize her hands have become cold and clammy then fear flashed in her eyes, not only for her but mostly for Lory because she knew it was Lory that Demon after all along.

"A..are you going to be okay?" Yang Xi Ying tries to tamp down her anxiety.

Lory sips her tea then puts down the empty cup on the table "I don't know, but I'll manage...as usual" Lory calmly said then she shifts her gaze to the garden, she looked very peaceful, unlike someone who will face unimaginable power.

But nothing strange about that, cause Lory, is always liked that if not because she heard from Ming Yue Yin what Lory had been through in her old world she will never think a carefree and warm woman like Lory has experienced so much heartache and pain that no man could handle in a lifetime.

From the moment Yang Xi Ying met Lory, it was not Lory's power, beauty, or her relationship with Zhao Li Xin that drew her to Lory...no, instead, it was her unfeigned kindness, her honesty, gentleness even her quirkiness, it was Lory who teach her to love herself, to accept who you are regardless what other people think about you because people that truly loves you will stay by your side no matter what happens.

"Are you not scared, Lory?" Yang Xi Ying curiously asks.

"Have you ever swam in the ocean waiting for big waves to push you to shore" Lory tilted her head and smiled as she continued, "The waves may take you to shore but they can also roll you up and drag you out to sea….maybe that's how I feel now" Lory propped up his chin with both hands and smiled brightly.

Yang Xi Ying stare at Lory in silence she press her lips together then suddenly she said: "I will come with you to Hwang Wu continent"

Lory widened her eyes in shock then scolded Yang Xi Ying "Hey you are pregnant why did you come to such a dangerous place?!"

Yang Xi Ying pout her lips and replied, "My baby is fine, I was just pretending in front of Wei Zu Tian back then after all the female cultivator's body is much stronger than normal female and I'm not the first female cultivator who fight during pregnancy!"

Lory wanted to remind her again but considering how stubborn Yang Xi Ying could become Lory swallowed her words, she can only hope Li Mo Zhen will knock some sense to Yang Xi Ying.

Actually, Yang Xi Ying realizes she risking her baby's safety but she cannot shake the feeling that she might not able to see Lory again if she didn't follow her to Hwang Wu continent, somehow after she saw Lory smile her heart trembled as if she will lose an important thing.
