"I'm called a cursssed child…an unwanted child, they say I was born from darkness, who are they? I don't know, I don't remember, actually a lot of thingsss about myself I forgot, but I'm not interested in reminiscing about it either." a pair of yellow eyes shone in the darkness, the light in those eyes carried an inexplicable horror that could make anyone shudder.

Giant black scales slithered across the cold stone floor, blood spilled between the corpses that died without closing one's eyes and one could see heart-rending terror lingering in their empty eyes. 

​​

"But I remember that I was different… before… I remember I wasn't evil or holy, I wasn't bad but I wasn't good either. All I know I was born for one purpose only… My purpose is to live in the dark so that everyone can stay in the light."

Suddenly a woman ran in panic, she accidentally hit a chair then fell on the floor face first, her nose was bleeding a little but she didn't care she might not notice it.

She forced herself to get up from the floor but then she was dumbfounded when she saw her arms and sleeves covered in blood then her eyes widen in horror, only then did she realize that she had fallen on the pool of blood.

All of a sudden she felt a sharp wave of fear and she screamed with all her might then suddenly something grabbed her leg and she felt a sharp pain on her knees, instantly reminded her how dangerous her situation is, in fear she kicked her legs frantically while her hands desperately tried to find something to grip onto, but it was in vain as she was suddenly dragged across the room into darkness by an unseen force. 

Screaming was the only thing she could do.

The cold voice chuckled softly as he watched the woman fight back desperately, those cold yellow eyes stared at the darkest place in the room while continuing in a calm cold voice "You think I'm mad at them jealous?" the cold voice sneered, "You are wrong, I never cared to them because I never understood their joy, passion, and love. It's like trying to describe a color you've never seen before, I could never fully grasp it.... you could say I was oblivious, but then…I met her" his voice seems a bit melancholy.

"Forgive me, please don't – please!"

"Help me, somebody pleaseeee!"

The woman's heart-rending scream resounded throughout the room followed by the sound of flesh being torn apart and bones breaking, a crimson liquid slowly staining the floor and everything became silent. 

The cold voice continued as if nothing had happened, "Even until now I wasn't sure if it was a blessing or a curse, but judging by how things turned out like this, it's certain that our meeting was a curse, yet I never regretted it, just like a poison would take it over and over again until there's nothing left of me, they say it was loved.....what a destructive feeling.....don't you agree with me…Lao Min Na?"

Smooth footsteps came from the dark spot, her movement was calm and languid, blood dripping from the corners of her lips as she stepped into the light the pale moonlight shining through the small window it slowly revealed her figure, Lao Min Na irises had turned from normal black to deep red like red wine, her skin was too pale like a white stone statue. Her long black hair that accentuated her pale skin made her more beautiful than she ever be, but the fresh blood on her hands made her appear like an enchantress from hell.

It seemed that the old Lao Min Na had completely gone. 

"Would you believe me, if I said you were the most beautiful woman in the world?" he threw a mirthful grin.

Lao Min Na's red eyes flashed as she looked back at those yellow eyes with a look full of hope, "Even more than her?" 

"Yes..." he hissed.

"Will he love me now, will he regret not choosing me, will he look at me the same way he looks at her, will he, Lazarus?" Lao Min Na's voice was filled with expectation and yearning. 

"Why don't you try and see… my child" his voice is soft and gentle sounding like a father doting his daughter but evil is always known as an expert liar, he knows exactly what we want, what we fear, and our deepest secret. Lazarus had no problem luring his victims because he knew the temptations of darkness could attract even the purest of souls.

The purest soul like Lorient

"LORY!" 

Yang Xi Ying suddenly jumped at her and pushed Lory back onto the table, luckily the table was made of solid wood so it didn't wobble so the two girls survived the fall. 

"I'm glad you're okay, I thought you were hurt!" Yang Xi Ying was so scared when she heard the news, she was so happy she didn't notice her arms were strangling Lory's neck. 

"I am now!" Lory squeaked as he lost her breath.

Yang Xi Ying realized she was pressing Lory too hard, she quickly let go of her hug then helped Lory up, Yang Xi Ying was embarrassed but the worry in her eyes still didn't go away, she holds Lory's hands then asked anxiously "Lory are you sure you're okay?" her eyes wandered over Lory's body up and down to make sure she was okay.

Lory patted his best friend's shoulder "Of course, I'm fine even if I don't, I can heal myself" Lory reminded Yang Xi Ying of her power.

Yang Xi Ying remembered Lory's ability, instantly she breathed a sigh of relief, "You're right, "sorry I overreacted" she said shyly. 

"It's okay, it means you care about me" Lory laughed at her after she fixed the slightly wrinkled tablecloth, Lory invited Yang Xi Ying to sit down.

"I don't believe the 'Sun Emperor' is lord Zhao's enemy, I must know that lord Zhao's mortal enemy is no ordinary person" Yang Xi Ying muttered in amazement.

"Hey, that's not a good thing," said Lory.

"I know, but still… I never thought we would fight against The Heaven's Gate sect let alone Wei Zu Tian himself" Yang Xi Ying clasped her hands in front of her chest excitedly, it seemed that she was overjoyed with the opportunity to fight with the powerful Heaven's Gate sect and Wei Zu Tian. 

"Aren't you afraid?" Lory found Yang Xi Ying's reaction odd.

Yang Xi Ying pursed her lips "I'm worried, but I'm not afraid" she explained then looked at Lory curiously "What's Wei Zu Tian like, although rumors say he's a bastard, however, many people say he's very handsome bastard"

Lory waved her hand vigorously, "Pfft, no way!" she strongly disagreed "Compare to Jin Hao he is too sleazy, compare to Bei Li Yan he is too vulgar, and compared to your husband he is lack honesty and gentleness, he is even less manly compared to General Yuan Shao and if you compare Wei Zu Tian with Zhao Li Xin is like comparing the mud to the sun, please!" 

Yang Xi Ying frowned, "So in short he is disappointing and I shouldn't believe the rumors" Yang Xi Ying concluded.

Lory snapped her fingers and winked, "Exactly!" but then Lory raised her index finger and said: "However, the man is really strong as the rumors say, he is also very cunning, and cruel, I could feel the abominable cruelty in him so you can't let your guard down"

Yang Xi Ying nodded firmly, "En, I heard a lot of bad things about him but strangely no one can prove it because no one dares to testify, according to Brother Li it shows how dangerous Wei Zu Tian truly is, compared to your husband I never heard that lord Zhao punished anyone who spoke ill of him behind his back, nor he ever stopped anyone from spreading bad rumors about him so in this alone Lord Zhao is more benevolence compared to Wei Zu Tian" 

"Maybe because Li Xin doesn't care" Lory tilted her head while contemplating Zhao Li Xin's character, Lory firmly believed that Zhao Li Xin didn't care about other people's existence actually Lory had never seen anyone more detached from the world like Zhao Li Xin, he had never spoken ill of other people, he also never praised them, Zhao Lixin never gossiped about other people's lives unless that person had some connection with his life.

Yang Xi Ying suddenly leaned forward and whispered, "How is your husband reacting, he's angry, isn't he?" 

"As expected" Lory shrugged casually.

Yang Xi Ying blew her cheek, then pouted, "Of course he does, what I mean is how can Lord Zhao stay calm after what happened to you? I thought he was going to burn half Sun Jan city down in a fit of anger" she covered her mouth and giggled.

Once again Lory thought Yang Xi Ying's reaction was too strange, "You remember your father was the Governor of the city, right?" she didn't understand why Yang Xi Ying was cool about it.
