The Princess And The Lord

Her eyes were tightly closed with long-thick eyelashes that looked like a pair of butterfly wings, her red lips had paled slightly and her dark bluish hair make her skin look more translucent than ever, Zhao Li Xin enamored by her beauty all over again.  He touched her skin gently as if he scared he would make a mark and ruined her perfect beauty

"She's a bit cold..." he looked at Girsha who perch on his shoulder.

A moment later, suddenly the Bluebell flower marks suddenly appeared and glow faintly then slowly cover her body from her cheeks to her neck and run to her arms until all her body completely covered.

"Fret not, the mark is meant to protect her from the curse. Usually, when she got weak the curse will try to take over her body and mind but the Bluebell flower spell would stop the cursed movement, not to mention she already gather four fragments, the curse is not as strong as it used to be" Girsha explained calmly.

Zhao Li Xin sighs in relief but he still nervous until the bluebell marks slowly disappeared it meant Lory was safe. He pulled Lory in his arms so he could feel her heartbeat, listening to her monotone heartbeat is the only way he could calm his heart.

"How long is she going to sleep?" he asked while burying his nose on her neck.

"A week, perhaps longer….this is a high-level spell afterall" Girsha let out a long exhales.

"I'll take her rest in mystique realm, that's the only place I know she would safe," said Zhao Li Xin.

"That's good, I imagined that Lao woman would be pissed when they knew about this" Girsha sniffle as he knows how vicious Lao Min Na could be.

To raise the hybrid Beast she dares to feed the beast with living human, she practically uses human as fodder, even though there was the time Girsha killed humans but that because they provoked him first and he never hurt a defenseless human being, at least not on purpose and the truth is Girsha didn't like human flesh very much, they are too small and have too many bones which don't taste good at all.

But the hybrid Beast was different, as the first kind he could feel other beast emotion and when he met with the hybrid beast he didn't feel much animal emotion except madness, hatred, and chaos. The Hybrid beast was drawn to human blood and it hungers for human flesh more than any creatures he encounters before and he just realized that the hybrid beast is much stronger and more vicious than the beast in Verrion, but he's not sure why perhaps Is because they were nurtured with Lazarus blood or something else is happening here?

"Milord, we found the list of people who bought the hybrid Beast from Lao Min Na, what is your order?" Bei Li Yan knelt on the floor together with all Hei Shen members.

Zhao Li Xin carries Lory in his arms as he watched her sleep soundly "Send the list to all our allies, killed everyone who on the list" he calmly said.

"The Sanguan family is also on the list, Milord" Bei Li Yan said again.

Zhao Li Xin's eyes glue on Lory's face, he saw her chest faintly moves up and down just like a hibernated animal. He looked at her in forlorn, some people didn't deserve her sacrifices, he pressed her cheek on his chest then he shifts his glance to Bei Li Yan "Leave the Sanguan family, I'll handle them myself"  he said in cold tones.

Normally, Bei Li Yan would ask, if they don't need the Sanguan family anymore, what about the culprit who poisoned Zhao Li Xin, what about Bai Xue and Celestial Immortal do they still need them? should we prepare our people against them, should he called Jiang Jin Wei? Bei Li Yan has many questions to ask but when he see Zhao Li Xin terrifying aura he swallowed his question and answer firmly. 

"As you wished, Milord!"

Zhao Li Xin entered the Mystique realm inside his ring without saying more words, only after he disappeared the whole Hei Shen members finally able to breathes, their knees tremble and they fall on the floor with their butt.

"Whenever something happened to young madam, the Lord aura become unbearable I thought I'm going to fainted" one of Hei Shen members rest his head on his knee tiredly.

"You still better, I thought I'm gonna pissed myself, as a matter of fact, I need to go to the bathroom now!" he jumps on his feet and runs to the lower deck in haste.

"But, did you see what young madam could do? that was….I don't know if I have the word to express my feeling right now" Other Hei Shen said with an awed expression.

"Oh, I heard young madam said she has to purify the island before it hurt other people" he was one of the shadow guards who paddled the boat that carries Zhao Li Xin and lory so he heard their Lord conversation.

Everyone was stunned when one of them raised a question "Did Madam know she would hurt herself after she did what she did?"

The same shadow guard nodded "She knows, but she said this is the right thing for her to do…"

Everyone grew silent, they don't understand why she sacrifices her wellbeing for strangers, definitely not for fame and glory because no one would know about this except them, however, her selfless act make their hearts engulf with warmth.

Bei Li Yan let out a long exhale, he is not surprised by Lory's action as matter of fact he thought this is so like her.

Bei Li Yan leaned his tired back against the deck railing, then he saw Mong Liu walk toward him "May I know what happened to the Sanguan family and Celestial Immortal sect, I thought we still don't know who else involved in Milord poisoning"

"You don't have to worry about that, before milord came he had a meeting with Bai Xue," said Mong Liu.

"Bai Xue?" Bei Li Yan cocked his head and frowned.

___A few hours ago___

In a secluded place inside the bamboo forest a woman pranced with joyful smiles, she excited to meet the infamous Demon Lord Long Ming, people at Yun Dao city never saw his face but the rumor said that he was the most handsome man in Jiang Wei kingdom.

Bai Xue had met a lot of handsome men like Sanguan Jin Sheng, Sanguan Wu Ci and the crown prince all of them have a different type of beauty but all of them have a face that's hard to ignore so he wanted to know if Long Ming as handsome as the rumor said.

She suddenly remembers Lu Xin's exquisite face, she wondered if Long Ming had better look than Lu Xin. Bai Xue heart winces whenever she remembered his cold eyes she felt dejected she couldn't move that man's heart, she quickly shook her head to get rid of his image out of her mind, rather than Lu Xin it's better to gain Long Ming favor although the rumor said he was a faithful man for his wife but Bai Xue could not believe a powerful man like him would be satisfied with one woman for his entire life.

Bai Xue didn't hurry to make Long Ming her own, she knew a man like him cannot approach recklessly. A man like Long Ming would not give his heart away easily so her plan is to gain his interest first then she sticks herself beside him as close friends then slowly she rose to his heart she believes in time she would able to have a special position in his heart.

And what about Long Ming's wife? Well, she can deal with her later.

Bai Xue came wearing his most beautiful hanfu, is the white silk the dress with delicate silver water lily embroidery, she made a simple half bun and used only one green hairpin to adorn her hairstyle. Bai Xue only used minimal makeup to make her look youthful and fresh, unlike most woman Bai Xue have high confidence with her natural beauty, apart from Lu Xin she never failed to attract men attention.

Is a good plan though, too bad Lu Xin and Long Ming are the same people.

She follows the small map given by Mong Liu, he told her that Lu Xin had arranged her meeting with Long Ming at the bamboo forest near the waterfalls, Luckily Lu Xin agreed to arrange her meeting with Long Ming if not she has to rely on her own source to contacting Hei Shen sect which is not easy since Hei Shen sect is heavily guarded and they tend to be wary with an outsider like her.

Bai Xue assured that Lu Xin was afraid to hold the information from Long Ming because he doesn't want to incite Long Ming anger, it's was unbelievable even an arrogant and stubborned man like Lu Xin would bow his head to Long Ming willingly, she can only imagine how remarkable Long ming would be.

Wealthy, strong, famous, and handsome, what else women could ask for if only she could have Long Ming how bright her future would be, she wouldn't need to curry favor with the Zi clan and the Zhuang family anymore, she doesn't even bother if she still becomes the inner disciple of Celestial Immortal sect master anymore, if she becomes Long Ming woman she would spend her entire life in gold and fame, she might not need to push her cultivation anymore. 

Bai Xue's smile grew wider as she immersed herself in her delusion she forgot she haven't met Zhao Li Xin yet but she already imagined herself as his wife and the mistress of the Hei Shen sect.
