The Princess And The Lord

Duan Shu Shu had long known his son's obsession with Long Ming, he didn't understand his Son's preference even though she didn't really care as long as he ended up marrying a woman after all his sons needed to produce an heir sooner or later. Strangely even after years of playing like a wild stud, Wei Zu Tian still has no heir despite having so many women in his harem.

Duan Shu Shu has invited many Physicians to check on his son's condition, as well as a poison practitioner who knows quite a lot about the human body otherwise how could she make such an effective poison yet she and all of those physicians didn't find anything wrong with Wi Zu Tian's body which ends up baffled her.

This had become a topic of discussion among the Heaven Gate Sect elders and core members, more than once they had expressed their concern about this matter even though they looked sincere on the outside but actually, they were nitpicking Wei Zu Tian's flaws after all no one liked Wei Zu Tian's weird sexual preference which didn't differentiate between women and men but of course no one dared to say it openly.

At first, Duan Shu Shu didn't care about her son's 'hobbies', according to Duan Shu Shu her son was just bored and needed unusual stimulation to entertain himself, it was all happy and fun until one day when he started to obsess over Long Ming.

Duan Shu Shu agreed that Long Ming had a delicate beauty that came only once in hundreds of years, however, Long Ming was not like other men who would yield to his son's will out of fear in fact Duan Shu Su had long understood how dangerous it was. before. Long Ming would be grateful at that time Duan Shu Shu knew that Long was infected by the cold poison so Duan Shu Shu was sure he wouldn't live much longer unless he allowed himself to succumb to Wei Zu Tian's hands that's why Duan Shu Shu had little interest with Long Ming's matters.

Be that as it may, Long Ming miraculously recovered and his strength grew at a terrifying speed, Duan Shu only realized this after Long Ming wiped out the whole Sanguan family to its core and now her son also had suffered a huge blow after he fought Long Ming, not only did Wei Zu Tian sustain internal injuries they also lost one of the Heavenly Knights which was a huge loss for Duan Shu Shu and Wei Zu Tian's side as everyone knew the Heavenly Knights did not serve the Heaven gate sect but rather Wei Zu Tian and Duan Shu Shu for a long time they used the heavenly knight to expand their authority so losing one of them is like losing one of their eyes and ears.

"Do you now dare to refute me?" Duan Shu's words hinted with warning and Wei Zu Tian quickly clamped his mouth, he gritted his teeth and drink his wine in annoyance.

Duan Shu Shu sneered at her son who show off his tantrum sometimes she regretted not giving birth to another son, well is not easy to be pregnant with so many women around his late husband, it was not easy to get pregnant especially gave birth to a baby boy.

"Are you still obsessed with that guy?" Duan Shu Shu asked with a reproachful tone "You know he will never concede to your wishes even if he has to die, Long Ming is not like other people, he is not afraid of losing his reputation, image even his own life, someone like him cannot be subdued by violence or threat, yet you do it both" Duan Shu Shu looked at Wei Zu Tian with a condescending look.

The thing Duan Shu Shu hates the most about her son is how conceited Weo Zu Tian is, thus he tends to underestimate his opponent which in the end always harms him and when that happens she has to step in and clean up the mess her stupid son made, just like now!

"Rather than Long Ming, I am more interested in Luo Ri Yi, I wonder how strong he can be in the dungeon" Duan Shu Shu tapped his finger on the table as he pondered, "The information we have about him was not added. . I am almost certain that Long Ming has something to do… if only we found the survival of the whispering forest, we might know something"

"I checked, and they all died and all the lucky ones who survived only said something about purple-white light..." Wei Zu Tian said indifferently, he didn't care how many people died in the Whispering forest.

"Purple light?" Duan Shu Shu's long thin eyebrows gradually furrow.

"That's all they can say, after that, they run for their lives so no one knows for sure…." Wei Zu Tian shrugged his shoulders seemingly unconvinced by the report since the one who reported the news seemed distraught, traumatized by the incident so who knows if they truly saw it or just imagined things.

Duan Shu Shu listen to Wei Zu Tian's words and sighed, rather than that Duan Shu Shu was more curious about Luo Ri Yi, she actually had a lot of questions about that woman, everything about that woman screamed 'ordinary' and she didn't done anything extraordinary ever since she marries Long Ming either.

But from the latest information she got from the few survivors from the whispering forest incident, they said that Long Ming's wife was very calm during her captivity, she didn't cry or vent her anger even under her son's provocation, she remained indifferent or so they said, but if that's true then the woman is not as simple as she portrayed herself to be.

"Long Ming's wife, what kind of woman is she…. tell me honestly without your useless prejudices" Duan Shu Shu raised her finger as she firmly reminded Wei Zu Tian.

Wei Zu Tian pursed his lips then placed his wine glass on the side table, he was silent for a moment then said: "She… is different"

Duan Shu Shu was surprised, although Wei Zu Tian can be childish sometimes and also reckless, however, he was good at seeing flaws in everyone that's why he was good at manipulating others.

Duan Shu Shu raised his eyebrows curiously, "Oh, what do you think about her?"

Wei Zu Tian remembered the first time he met Lory, actually, he was quite taken by her but not by her beauty or appearance but something else, something intangible, it was her relationship with Long Ming that Make Wei Zu Tian had a hard time accepting it.

Suddenly Lory a pair of beautiful eyes crossed his mind and he softly say: "She is....kind but not gullible, strong but not arrogant, opinionated but wise, she is nothing like anyone I ever met, the easiest to describe her that she is like a diamond, clear, pure, cold and hard"

"The way you describe her is not like a woman who spends her time in a rural village and you seem to like her, are you not?" Duan Shu Shu tilted her head as she smile meaningfully,  as a mother Duan Shu Shu knew very well that Wei Zu Tian was sharing the same trait as his biological father who felt that the position of women was far below him, apart from satisfying lust and giving birth to offspring, Wei Zu Tian doesn't see any other use for women, well except for his mother.

So it was amazing for Wei Zu Tian to have such high value for women, it almost felt like he respected Luo Ri Yi even Zi Quan Mei and Lao Min Na didn't get this much value from him.

Wei Zu Tian snorted contemptuously "I thought 'liked' was a strong word, I just thought she was a bit interesting, that's all..."

Seeing him clarifying himself Duan Shu Shu burst out laughing, "So that's why you insisted on ruining Long Ming and Luo Ru Yi's marriage because the two people you ever liked didn't like you but they loved each other so you were heartbroken for being left out~" Duan Shu laughed while covered her mouth with her wide sleeves elegantly while laughing at Wei Zu Tian.

"Mother!" Wei Zu Tian complaint.

"Fine - fine," Duan Shu shu waved her hand before she took a deep breath to calm herself then she turn her expression to a serious one as she speak at Wei Zu Tian "Anyway, we better sooner or later Zhao Li Xin will come to us so spread this news to our sect members and allies for any strange movement in our continent if anyone finds a foreigner whether there is a merchant or a traveler they must report to us, the Hei Shen sect will come for us so stop throwing tantrum and be prepare yourselves because there is a war is waiting for us"

Six days later they finally arrived at Hwang Wu continent, from afar they saw a light blue sea and white sand beach.

"We better jump in here before anyone sees Girsha," said Lory.

"Okay!" The Mong brothers replied with a firm nod.

"Brother Li, be careful with Xi Ying" Lory is still Li Mo Mo Zhen.

"I know!" Li Mo Zhen carried his wife in the princess's arms.

"Hey, I can still jump higher than this!" Yang Xi Ying complained, she didn't like everyone treating her like a fragile vase, she must be much stronger than most cultivators now that she was already at the sovereign level.

"I know – I know, just do it for me okay" Li Mo Zhen persuaded his wife then Yang Xi Ying could only surrender and pout.

Zhao Li Xin thought Li Mo Zhen was very good at handling Yang Xi Ying who was more stubborn and fierce than Lory, Zhao Li Xin secretly learned a move or two how to persuade his wife from Li Mo Zhen, if only Li Mo Zhen knew.
