The Princess And The Lord

[I wonder….] Lory mumbled then put down the brush.

[Wonder what?] Girsha perched behind the chair where Lory was sitting.

[To become a Little Demon, one has to sacrifice something they loved, so what did Zi Quan Mei sacrifice to become a Lesser - Demon?] Lory propped her chin with her palm, her purple eyes glistening under the sunlight that streams through the window.

[Why are you asking?] Girsha knew Lory wouldn't be curious if there wasn't a reason.

[Because the difference between Sanguan Li Ye and Zi Quan Mei is quite significant, with Sanguan Li Ye I feel confusion, bitterness, regret, and sadness it's like fighting with people who have experienced great trauma while with Zi Quan Mei I feel he is more in control, of course, I also feel angry, hate, jealous, envious from her but still Zi Quan Mei is more in control, I mean I feel like Zi Quan Mei knows what she's doing] Lory leaned back lazily while taking a deep breath then looked up at the ceiling as she contemplates.

[Is it because Sanguan Li Ye was not a cultivator while Zi Quan Mei was?] Girsha said.

[That's what I thought too....] Lory sighed.

[But....] Girsha waiting for Lory to continue.

[But....what if there's something more, from the last conversation with sanguan Li Ye I feel that she didn't want to be Lesser-Demon so perhaps she was tricked or coerced, meanwhile, Zi Quan Mei becomes Lesser-Demon willingly] Lory glances at Girsha for a second and away again

Grisha knows what Lory is thinking [So what did that woman sacrifice, she doesn't look like someone who has someone to love or care about?]

Lory pursed her lips, she tilt her head appearing troubled by the thought [What if...her conscience, after all, she's the one who turn her own niece into a Lesser-Demon, I don't think anything crueler than that]

[Well....] Grisha narrowed his green round eyes, the information about Lesser Demon was more like hearsay than concrete evidence the only valuable information they got was from the old scriptures in Lucicent's private library even from there they didn't have too much information either and Girsha also rarely encounters Lesser-Demon other than the one she found with Lory, therefore, the old Bird doesn't know about a Lesser-Demon moreover in his time there weren't any 'Firs kind' that wanted to be a Demon, and what human did make no sense to him then and still doesn't make sense now.

See Lory wondering eyes Girsha knows something else is bothering her so he asks again [What are you thinking girl?]

[Without conscience we are no better than Beasts, heck, even Beasts care about their own kin] Lory shook her head regretfully while pouring herself a cup of tea, [To sacrifice that willingly, I don't understand what they were thinking...] Lory leaned back again and blew out her tea in a lazy manner.

[Humans can be so hard to understand sometimes...] Girsha let out a cold breath.

[Hm...] Lory took a sip then she lift her head and look in front of her in silence meanwhile the sweet scent of tea wafted her nose giving her a sense of serenity  but then Lory suddenly muttered in a quiet voice [Then what did Lao Min Na sacrifice....]

Jin Kai screamed like a lying beast, full of black veins popping from his handsome face like a monster but Jin gu remained motionless but there was a glint in his empty eyes.

Jin Kai turned around with an unrecognizable face, he then walked limply towards Jin Gu, "Father..." he said softly as he knelt in front of his father and cupped Jin Gu's face.

"There was a time, I admired you - wanted to be like you...I used to love you, you were my father... but you didn't love me, you didn't love anyone... that's why I chose to hate you" his voice was hoarse with sadness, arriving -she suddenly hugged Jin Gu tightly.

Jin Kai doesn't remember when his father hugged him maybe never, he never saw Jin Gu hug any of his children, not Jin Hao not even Jin Hua maybe he really never hugged any of his children.

When he was immersed in his thought Jin Kai hears a whisper in his ear, calling him desperately "K...ai...I'm sorry"

Jin Kai's eyes widened, his lips trembled, with a painful expression he burry his head on his father's shoulder "I'm sorry too, father..." he stabbed the dagger into Jin Gu's stomach.

'Love and hate are like two sides of the same coin, they will never be side by side but they will never be separated'

In the midst of fighting Jin Hua and the others felt the floor they were standing on vibrate violently as if hit by an earthquake, Jin Hua and Lan Hua exchanged anxious glances, they both gave the Su family a warning eye without waiting for an explanation The fifth elder released his powerful Qi then pushed all their opponents in front of them in one swoop, soon after they broke through the window and at the same time a great explosion hit from behind them.

Jin Hua and the others fell to the ground and again they rolled like dry leaves in a strong wind but the current force was so much more severe than before that it made Jin Hua, Su Feng, and Su Sheng injured from the impact of the strange energy.

"Take this!" Lan Hua shoved a pill into Jin Hua's mouth without permission and Jin Hua take it without question either.

Thankfully Lan Hua had distributed not only weapons but recovery pills to the Su family so they could immediately treat themselves.

Jin Hua's face looked better after she took the recovery pill from Lan Hua although her chest still hurt a little alas she know this was not the right time to complain.

"What was that?" Jin Hua's eyes widen in utter shock.

Lan Hua shook her head "I don't know, but we should get out of here!" there was urgency in her voice.

"Yes, we must hurry!" Fifth Elder chimed in he didn't say it but he felt an extremely dark power coming from the wrecked building, a dark power that he never felt when encountering any cultivator in his time. He felt the power was awfully dark and it thick with the smell of death as if the devil itself were breaking down the gates of hell to welcome them.

"Where do you want to go?" an eerie sound came from the debris while the air was covered in dust and smoke, a man walked with steady steps his eyes were pitch black with no white part left that send a nerve-wracking feeling to anyone who saw it. He then stared at them with a smirk playing on the edges of his lips then he open his arms widely "Where are you going? we just started"

"Jin Kai...." Lan Hua pulled Jin Hua closer while taking a step back, her brain struggling to find a way out knowing the opponent is more than they can chew,

The same as Fifth Elder he could feel the blood lust welling up from every part of Jin Kai, he knew Jin kai will not let them live "Go, I will stop him!" said the fifth elder hastily.

"Father, whatever you say I will not leave you!" Su Sheng vehemently refuted his father's words.

"Grandpa, I will stay!" said Su Feng as well.

"No, you two go, Su Sheng, I leave the Su family in your hands!" Fifth Elder would not allow his Son and Grandson to die with him because he knew for certain if he fight Jin Kai he would die today.

"All of you go, I will stay with the fifth elder" Lan Hua said then suddenly summon a jade bottle from her ring then she drank a mouthful of elixir, suddenly the Qi around her became twice stronger.

"You got more than that?" The fifth elder raised his brows.

Lan Hua smiled then threw the jade bottle at the Fifth Elder.

"Give me one as well, 'cause I'm not leaving!" Jin Hua said with unwavering determination.

Jin Kai clapped his hands and laughed, "That's heartwarming indeed, but don't worry none of you will ever leave this place… isn't that right my minion?" Jin Kai looked behind them with a sharp grin.

Jin Hua and the others reflexively turned around and drew their weapons in haste, behind them Elder Zheng, Elder Zhuang and dozens of creatures that looked like humans mixed with monsters were blocking their way out.
