[Let's go outside] Lory stretch her arms [We haven't had much fun since we arrived at the cloud city, don't we?] she grinned mischievously. 

[It's enemy territory, Lory, we supposed to be hiding not strolling] Girsha reminds her.

​​

Lory clicks her tongue [Come on birdie, where is your sense of adventure, let see what this city could offer to us] her eyes glint with excitement.

[You remember I need to hide inside of you so I can't fly around] after most of his power return he also has a tremendous change in his appearance, his tail becomes longer, the feather becomes more glistening especially the golden color and his green eyes become more apparent as it glowing like an emerald stone.

[You can see through me, and if you want to buy something just tell me] She puff her chest proudly.

[Do you have money] he was doubtful when they are runaway from cestine palace Lory didn't bring enough money too and that's why they become hunter for quick cash. Lucient is not good when it comes to indulgent themselves.

Lory pretends to be offended [I have tycoon husband, I don't need to worry about money] she show off the bulky pouch on her hand arrogantly.

Girsha sigh in relief [Let's go than….]

Girsha transforms into an orb and flies to her chest, then Lory with bouncing steps leave the courtyard but she forgot something very important, she forgot to leave a note for Zhao Li Xin. The naughty princess still not realizes how much trouble she put herself to.

For now, Lory is enjoying the hustle and bustle of cloud city, it said cloud city because its location near the top of the mountain and because the contour of the terrain the building built on a different lap so the high of the houses are not the same, is quite unique, there also grey pave stones along the street that make everything look cleaner and neat. The air also fresher and colder compared to other cities, if only she came here not for a secret mission she would love to have a vacation in this place.

The city is not that big but everything looks luxurious and expensive even the small stall looks fancier then the stall she used to saw in another city. Lory stops at the small stall who sells red bean soup. The waiter cleans the table for her and served her with tea before he asked what she orders, lory smiles and order a bowl of soup and steam meat bun for herself.

The waiter nods politely before he left. Lory sips her tea she winced a slightly after the bitter taste hit her tongue. She pretends to take out the cand bag from her sleeve when actually she pulls it from her ring, she immediately eats the candy and the sweetness replaces the bitter on her tongue, slowly she feel better.

Not long after the waiter delivers her food, Lory face lit up when the bowl served on her face. The waiter also feel elated because Lory happy face so he gave lory extra bun which Lory accepts with big grinned.

Lory mood turns to better after she finishes her meal, she thought she was too stress because Lazarus matter and it takes a toll on her mood and she ends up venting her anxiety to Zhao Li Xin, she feel very guilty for hurting him, she noted herself to properly apologize when she got home.

Lory suddenly frowned, why she felt she forgot something important [Birdie did I forgot something?] she talks through telepathic.

[Don't say you forgot your money!] Girsha scold.

[No, I bring my money] she rebuked.

[Do you lock the door before you leave?] Girsha asks her.

[Who needs a lock if you have multiple arrays protecting your place] Lory rolls her eyes as she thought Girsha is being forgetful.

[Then what?] Girsha didn't think they missed anything

[Oh well, it's probably nothing….] Lory unconsciously sip her tea out of habit and she winced again from the bitter after taste.

'Yuck!'

______________________________

While Lory already bounces back from her bad mood, it's not the same way with Zhao Li Xin. on the way to Nan Manor Zhao Li Xin was lost in his thought, he can't wait to return home and have a good conversation with Lory, he wants to know if he does or said something wrong if he does he doesn't mind to beg for her forgiveness.

Just like that he already arrived at the Nan Manor and the head maid led him to the garden where nan yu Qi stands not far from the peach blossom tree, the pink color accentuated her refined beauty, she looks pure and innocent with the touch of nobility. She smiles faintly when she see Zhao Li Xin, unfortunately, none of this notice by him because he busy thinking about his princess.

He cupped his fist politely "What is your order?" Zhao Li Xin asks without wasting no time.

His bland expression make her disappointed, Zhao Li Xin expression reminds the same as he looking back at her indifferently. For Zhao Li Xin if the woman didn't have bluish dark hair, purple gem yes, and fair skin as snow you will fail to impress him. He still didn't notice Nan Yu Qi sour mood.

Thankfully Nan Yu Qi is aristocrat lady who used to hides her feeling so she collects herself pretty quickly "Xie Xian Zi has make his moves, recently he had rewarded the Chen family with the fourth-grade elixir to strengthen their body, with this elixir many of Chen family made it breakthrough to emperor level cultivator…this is not good" 

"What do you want me to do?" 

Nan Yu Qi eyes glint with malice "Changed the elixir to poison, if we lucky Chen Hu Yin would suspect Xie Xian Zie as the culprit but if it's not that's alright too" he said easily as if it was nothing to hurt the whole clan without regards young or old.

Cultivator worlds is a cruel world where only the strong deserved to survive, Zhao Li Xin has long used to this as he becomes numbs by the evil of human heart, his emotion remains placid cause nothing is beyond his expectation. He just has one question "What if the Chen family suspect you and fourth master Xie?"

Nan Yu Qi blink her innocent eyes "If they have no proof what can they do to us?" her sweet smiles contradict from the cruelty of her word, she said again calmly "Just do it quietly, don't disappoint me" she warns him gently.

He remains indifferent "Understood" he bows his head before he prepares to leave but before he takes another step nan yu Qo suddenly calls him.

"You know I'm talked with your wife before" 

"Yes…" he turns around as he speaks in a flat tone.

"I hope you don't mind, I'm just thinking for your own good and hers too," she said with bitter smiles as if she feel guilty about it. her acting might fool other people but not him, she is a cruel person who orders him to harm the whole clan without batting her eyelashes how could someone as cold as her have the capacity to care about other people, a stranger nonetheless.

"I don't mind" Zhao Xi Xin reply shortly, he doesn't care what she said as it doesn't matter for him.

But Nan yu Qi though it because he has little feeling for his wife, Nan Yu Qi face beamed as her heart fluttered. Although there's no hope for any kind relationship between her and Zhao Li Xin she still can't let him together with other women.

Nan Yu Qi realizes she's being selfish and unreasonable but she is spoiled rotten and used to let others cater her need she doesn't understand about sacrife herself for the good of other people.

"After this over you must think thoroughly, It is not wise to keep your wife, I'm worried she would drag you down," she said worriedly, people who were there would think she gives Zhao Li Xin kind reminder.

He nods his head then quickly turns his face away from Nan Yu Qi, Zhao Li Xin make long strides to leave the manor before he can't control his rage and killed everyone in there. He clenches his fist as rage burning in his heart. He already in a bad mood today and nan yu Qi keeps provoking him, he will not be calm before he vents his hatred to Nan yu Qi. Zhao Li Xin stops in secluded area cover with tall trees and thick bushes, he can feel someone familiar following him.

"Mong Ki, Mong Yi!" he called them in low voice.

The two black figures jump from above and kneel to the ground "We here Milord!" 

"Some impudent woman testing my bottom lines over and over again, let's make her suffer a little bit" he snorted in disdain.

"What your order. Milord?" Mong ki and Mong Yi sing it tunes.

"The drugs I ask Jin Hao to make is it ready yet?" he asked.

"Yes, Milord" Mong Ki hand a green bottle jade to Zhao Li Xin.

He opens the lid and checks the pill, he satisfied with Jin hao excellent works, he put in the pill back inside the bottle then hand it back to Mong Ki "Give it to Chen Hu Yin, rather than being the Xie family lackey why don't we offer him to raised above them" Zhao Li Xin sneered.

"Yes, Milord" Mong Ki nods his head, this is his Lord favorite method 'divided and conquer'

"Mong Yi, I want you to ruined that Nan woman, she so full of herself, she dares to humiliate my princess, lets him enjoyed my wrath" Zhao Li Xin eyes expression become darker "let's see if she still full herself when her face is ruined"

"Understood Milord!" Mong Yi also nods his head firmly. Whoever that woman in Mong Yi lit the candle for her. the worst still not yet to come.
