The Princess And The Lord

Tao Bing Wen was beaming with joy but he tried to hide it but he didn't do his job well, Lory narrowed his eyes knowing the time was running out, and Lory looked up and sighed 'she should stay home'

"Take me to the Apothecary first, there used to be a healer there" Tao Bing Wen grimaced as he rubbed his injured face.

Lory saw Tao Bing Wen who was full of bruises, he did look like he needed treatment, but Lory smiled inwardly because Tao Bing Wen's father didn't seem to be playing around when he hit his son, Lory didn't blame Tao Bing Wen's father because if she were Tao Bing Wen's father she would definitely do the same, perhaps worst.

"You know where Apothecary is around here?" he asks Mong Ki.

Mong Ki gives Tao Bing Wen side-eyes which makes Tao Bing Wen shiver, Mong Ki then answers Lory politely "Yes.."

"Let's go!" Lory beckoned Tao Bing Wen to follow her then she walk without waiting for him.

Although he was annoyed that Lory treated him casually however he was afraid of being left out, so he had no other choice but to chase after Lory and Mong Ki, still, Tao Bing Wen voiced his displeasure.

"Hey, you have to treat your benefactor with respect, didn't anyone teach you?" Tao Bing Wen scoffed.

Mong Ki then shot a dagger at Tao Bing Wen, petrified he shrinks his neck like a turtle but later he bravely berates Mong Ki thinking he will not hurt him when Lory's around "What, what do you want to do with me, huh? miss you must teach your servant how to respect his master's benefactor" he complained to Lory to reprimand Mong Ki.

Lory stopped her tracks and then turned her cold gaze to Tao Bing Wen. "You know I could just leave you here, right?"

"But...but you can't treat your benefactor like this" Tao Bing Wen was persistent he did nothing wrong.

Lory raised her chin "Really? why not? Who's going to blame me?"

In fact, people usually forget when they are in debt, some even return good favors with evil, unfortunately only a few people repay other people's kindness with the same kindness, and that is the real reality of life.

Tao Bing Wen gulped his saliva he couldn't help but admit he couldn't do anything if Lory didn't want to return the favor but as stubborn as he can be Tao Bing Wen then said: "I..I'll tell my father that you treated me badly after I helped you!" he puffed out his chest shamelessly using his father's name to suppress others.

"You mean the same father who beat you not too long ago, what if he finds out that you recklessly looking for trouble with the Iron Sect to help strangers and then forces the stranger to return the favor?" Lory raised an eyebrow, her expression telling how stupid Tao Bing Wen was.

"..." even though he was angry Tao Bing Wen didn't dare to refute, needless to say, he will get beaten again if his father found out.

Lory then raised her index finger like a teacher admonishing her student "Now shut your mouth, and follow me!" Lory turned around and walk away.

See Lory walk without looking back Tao Bing Wen swallows his bitterness and then obediently follows Lory like a chick following his mother hen.

After they arrive at the Apothecary, Lory asks if there is a physician in the place because usually physicians are called to someone's home to treat patients so sometimes they are not the place, but luckily today the physician didn't go anywhere so the shopkeeper brought them to another room to wait for the physician, a few minutes later the physician came then he examined Tao Bing Wen's wound.

The physician carefully massaged his wound with ointment to speed up the healing but the boy kept twitching and crying which end up upsetting the healer and not only him Lory, Mong Ki, and Girsha were also annoyed.

"Shut up!" Lory can't take it anymore she scolds the boy.

"This hurts so much, why don't you try it yourself" Tao Bing Wen feels wronged.

Lory wants to say that she had tried it since she was twelve to the point she was numbed of it, but she cannot say it thus she rolls her eyes "Aren't you a cultivator, what kinda a cultivator who cannot stand that small wounds"

The physician is also curious, the boy should be a cultivator but his body is not like a cultivator, his hands are too smooth which means he has never fought in his life how is that possible even though he has never fought but he definitely trains and from training should leave a mark but the boy body and hands were smooth like a baby butt.

"I never got hurt!" Tao Bing Wen pursed his lips.

"Huh?" Lory, mong Ki, and the physician were cocked their head in confusion.

Embarrassed by their reaction Tao Bing Wen quietly said "My...my mother will cry every time I got hurt that's why...I'm not allowed practice harshly"

"Then...how do you practice?" Lory is bewildered but she tries to look calm.

"I memorized the moves then practiced them in front of my parents, and I never made a single move!" he puffed his chest proudly.

"What you mean you show it in front of your parents, are you having sparring in front of your parents?" Lory thought it was ridiculous.

Tao Bing Wen got confused he shake his head "No, mother didn't allow me sparring with anyone after I got hurt once...."

Immediately, Lory and Mong Ki massage their head even the physician sighed heavily.

[In short, he just put on a show to his parents like five years old!] Girsha laughed making loud chirping noises for others to hear.

"Miss, your bird is noisy" Tao Bing Wen complained again.

"Shut up!" said Lory curtly.

"....."

Lory was silent, learning martial arts without training with others was tantamount to performing arts if that's what Tao Bing Wen learned then it wouldn't be strange if people in his sect didn't respect him, Lory couldn't even imagine what would happen if Tao Bing Wen's father died it was certain that the position of sect master would not be given to him, so what would happen to this spoiled brat.

Lory wondered what this boy's father was thinking, as the sect leader he should be aware of this right.

furthermore, in consideration of Mong Ki the Tao clan is dead for him, he just feels pity that the great Tao clan will end like this.

However, the stupid didn't realize everyone looking at him with pity even the physician can't stop sighing.

'What a shammed'

After a while, the treatment finished then Mong Ki paid for the medication and the three of them left the pharmacy, Lory thought his work was done he turned to Tao Bing Wen "Young master since you're doing well have a nice and... long day! " Lory saluted and prepared to leave.

unbeknownst to her, the leech refused to let go, so he called out to Lory again "WAIT!"

Lory turned around and glared at him "What?!"

Tao Bing Wen shrank his neck in fear, "I...I'm hungry" he timidly said.

"Then eat, there are many restaurants here!" Lory became impatient, she scolded the spoiled child.

Tao Bing wen's face turned red and then looked down "I don't have any money..." he embarrassedly said.

Lory feel her blood sugar raise she close her eyes and rubbed her nape in resignation manner after she take a very deep breath she look at Tao Bing Wen again "Let's eat then..."

Tao Bing Wen's face brightened again then he ran to Lory's side, "I want to eat garlic ginger pork!"

Lory looked at him coldly, "No!"

Tao Bing Wen pursed his lips and whined, "But I want that!"

Lory then coldly said: "I also wanted to ditch you right here - right now but I don't, so we both didn't get what we wanted today, or do you think we should get what we want today?!" a dangerous glint flashed in her eyes, instantly shutting Tao Bing Wen's mouth.

[Aren't you a softie~] Girsha teased.

[Shut up!] Lory was really pissed she wishes he didn't go out today.
