The Princess And The Lord

On the other place one Lory left Zhao Li Xin expression instantly change, the warmed and gentleness he shows dissipated without a trace, Mong Ki pour a cup of wine for him while Zhao Li Xin rests his head on his fist for other people he would look lazy and bored at least Wu Zhi Xiao thought like that as well however Jin Hao and the others unbothered they continue their discussion like everything is normal because it is…

"Does Lao Min Na get close to certain people in Yunmo royal family?" Bei Li Yan shifts his glance at Wu Zhi Xiao who feel intimidated as he surrounded by multiple talented people in the same room.

"Uhm, no one is particular….I don't hear any rumors though however, she does invite to the palaces quite often " Wu Zhi Xiao pinch his chin, and his eyebrows creased closely. 

 "For what reason?" Jin Hao asked casually while walking to the table on the corner, he takes out his tea set from the spatial ring and begins to brew his tea, his behavior is too casual it stunned Wu Zhi Xiao who never interact with the King palace this close even Bei Li Yan only talk twice with him the rest of his interaction is handled by Bei Li Yan subordinate so Wu Zhi Xiao doesn't have deep understanding about the King palace.

Wu Zhi Xiao clear his throat as he collects himself "For various reason, Lao Min Na had helped Queen Dowager migraine, she also helps the Emperor old injury on his leg, since then Lao Min Na become high value by the royal family and she gain quite a reputation in here"

"Well, after we cut her money source at the Liu Yan Kingdom is not strange for her to search another source" Bei Li Yan sneer. After Zhao Li Xin orders them to cut all Lao Min Na resources, it only takes a month to erased everything Lao Min Na hard painstakingly worked for years, she was pushed so hard she hands no other choice but to run to another continent to start over. 

However, Lao Min Na is to naïve for thinking she could run away from Zhao Li Xin clutch. After all she had done to Lory only death would appease Zhao Li Xin's anger.

"As always she used influential people to showcase her ability, with Sanguan family and the Yuanmo royal family testified no one would question her ability, I would not surprise the whole noble family at yuan Dao city fighting for her favor" Jin Hao smiles coldly while holding the teapot elegantly, he arranged the teapot and teacup on the tray while walking gracefully towards Zhao Li Xin.

"Whatever her plan is we would face her at the auction, I believe we would fight with her for the precious old map" Bei Li Yan's eyes burned with malice, he eager to know what Lao Min Na plan next.

Wu Zhi Xiao face got stiffen when he felt bloodlust exuded from Bei Li Yan, the man appearance might look like a frail innocent young man but don't be fooled because Wu Zhi Xiao knew how terrifying Bei Li Yan could be to his enemy and he had witnessed his savages first hand.

Jin Hao pour a warm tea on porcelain calmly "Is a special tea I made for young madam, is good for digestion, bloating, and relaxing, it will help her to sleep better at night and it's not bitter, why don't you try and tell me what you think?" he suddenly speaks unrelated matters.

Wu Zhi Xiao look confused with the sudden change of their conversation, but everyone is unfazed. Zhao Li Xin lazy eyes suddenly lit up, he eventually shows his interest, he straightens his back and lifts the small teacup, the faint sweet fragrance tickles his nose, unlike sun citrus tea bright yellow color this tea is close to ember, Zhao Li Xin was sure Lory would like this tea just based on its beautiful color. 

Slowly he sips the tea, at first he doesn't taste anything but gradually the sweet after taste increased and now he feel like drink honey, Zhao Li Xin squints his eyes he obviously doesn't like the tea taste, Wu Zhi Xiao though Jin Hao might incur Zhao Li Xin wrath surprisingly Zhao Li Xin smiles slightly as his eyes brimmed with satisfaction.

"Good, she would love this…" Zhao Li Xin shortly said but his soft expression frankly shows his good mood.

"Thankfully you don't have to force young madam to drink Pu'er tea again" Bei Li Yan giggles.

"I'll send the tea to madam courtyard immediately" Jin Hao expression remain calmed, he picks up the tray and shift it to another table for he knows that the tea is suitable for men especially Zhao Li Xin because it too sweet, he made especially for Lory following Zhao Li Xin request, he told Jin Hao that Lory have insomnia and trouble sleeping because of nightmare and lately it becomes much worst so Zhao Li Xin reaches for Ji Hao to created something to help Lory.

"We better prepare a lot of funds for the auction tomorrow, Lao Min Na would use all her money to beat us in the auction" Jin Hao shift the conversation back to Lao Min Na again.

"Money is the last thing for our sect to worry about" Bei Li Yan grin widely "Even if she back up by the royal family she could never beat us in term of wealth"

"I know but we better prepare, when it comes to power who support Lao Min Na is not the Misty Lake clan or Royal family I'm worried about" Jin Hao glance at Zhao Li Xin meaningfully.

Wu Zhi Xiao frowned, he wonders who is Lao Min Na backer that gain the King palace recognition.

Somewhere at the Sanguan family courtyard, sounds of shattered glass echoed in the air, no maids dare to get close when their missus got in her frenzy episodes. The beautiful room is turn upside down everything is thrown to the ground and break into pieces, a woman limps on her chair her beautiful face cover with a thin layer of sweat, her chest moves up and down erratically.

"She's alive, how could she alive…." Lao Min Na mutters with bloodshot eyes filled with malice.

"Told you it won't work" a sweet and seductive voice came from behind the curtains, the woman pale hands lift the curtains, she dresses provocatively seemingly not care showing off her ample chest and long flawless legs, the woman lean on the wood divider while watching Lao Min Na as if she was a joke.

"You try to kill a woman who has gifted the power of water and wind at the ocean, how foolish you can be~" the woman jeered.

"Shut up! You are the one who told me that she would defenseless without her mana, if not I would not force them to delay their departure!" Lao Min Na glare furiously.

The other woman clicks his tongue nonchalantly "I said weaken, not defenseless…she is Lucient fools, she would never defenseless" the woman stride to the coach her hips sway sexily then she takes a seat with her legs cross each other.

Lao Min Na gritting her teeth, in her last life she had heard about a violent thunderstorm that killed hundreds of people and sinks hundreds of ships, she knew with Zhao li Xin level cultivation she wouldn't die from the storm but even so, he wouldn't able to safe Lory at the same time too, so she drained lory power with a hope that the storm would drown her, she deliberately delayed their departure so they would face the storm directly, her plan is perfect but she doesn't account one obstacle and it was Lorenna.

"Why can't she die!" she throws another vas from the table to the wall in a fit of anger.

The other woman laughs at her with creepy sounds "Who are you compare to Lucient heir, her father is the descendant of the first King and her mother is someone who born under the chaos star, Lorient is special her existence is special….and you" she raised her brows with mocking expression.

"ENOUGH!" Lao Min Na shouted, anger rose in her like a tide what she hated the most is when someone told how useless and worthless she was, she is not that person anymore, now she is the most talented and beautiful woman in the world, women want to be like her and men fighting to be with her, how could a strange woman from another world outmatch her, that woman is nothing, SHE IS NOTHING!

"You can deny as much as you want but the fact remains, That man heart belongs to her even if you killed Lorient that man will never choose you moreover he loath you, the only thing he wanted from you is your head on the silver plate" the left side of her red lip tug upwards creating sinister smirk.

The woman faces only infuriated Lao Min Na even more however there are no words left her mouth, that man does hate her to the bone she never thought someone indifferent like him would use all his power to destroy all her business and everyone who associates with her, only in a month everyone withdraws their support leaving her with nothing, she is forced to depend on Jin Kai and run to Gui Hong continent but that man still not letting her go.

"Ah, it's sooner than I thought" the woman lifts her hand the beautiful white skin suddenly turn brown as if it's aging in rapid speed and the skin gradually shrivel and it meat shrinking leaving only a thin bone, the woman beautiful face also the same she suddenly change from twenty years old woman to one hundred years woman in instant, however, the woman didn't scare instead she smiles devilishly "Another useless body…." she smirks as her iris turn from dark brown to yellow mimicking snake eyes, second later the woman body fall from fall to the floor and a dark shadow immerged from the corpses and suck into Lao Min Na ring.

"Find me a better vessel or the next it would be you…."

Eerie sounds floating on the air before turn the room into silence, the color on Lao Min Na face drained her lips trembles, she tries to suppress the shiver in her body but no avail her legs can't withstand her weight any longer soon she plops on the floor she clenched her stomach while covering her mouth with her other hand as she tries to restrained her scream.
