The Princess And The Lord

The faint light breach from the window partition make a gloomy shadow on the floor, the window on the corner of the room slowly creak then a two dark shadow jump over the window, they squat on the floor for a second, their eyes swept the room when they hear no movement in the room they slowly raise.

The room is very dark with only little light coming from the outside, it took a while until her eyes could adjust with the minimum light.

"Let's check, but don't touch anything weird" Lory whisper.

"Yes, young madam" he replies quietly. The two of them spread and checking the room.

[I wish we can use a flashlight or something…..I barely see anything here] Lory sigh, she envies Mong Yi who seems has no problem with his sight. She guesses it has something to do with his high cultivation.

[Don't worry I can see clearly] Girsha chuckles lightly. Suddenly Lory's eyes shined in dimmed purple light [How about now girl?]

[Better…] Lory smiles as her sight becomes clear as day. It was another convenient when she merged with Girsha, Not only give his wings he also can transfer his other ability to her.

Lory surprised by how untidy Lao Min Na's room was, she could see shattered glass on the floor and stained on the table, it seems Lao Min Na didn't allow anyone to fix her room, the paranoia must got the best of her…what a poor girl.

[Young madam] Mong Yi suddenly called her.

Lory takes long strides towards Mong Yi who stand near the study table, he was checking a pile of papers on the table with a serious face "Madam, this is the report about how many beasts she had collected, just like we thought she involved with the disappearance high-level beast at Xin Fang continent, but for what reason I still not understand, is nearly impossible to control so many high-level beasts unless you are someone like master Shin Jiu" 

"What if she got helped by a demon…" Lory mutters.

Mong Yi stunned "Why the demon want to control Demon, to be war tools?"

"To make chaos…" Lory check the papers and the report is disturbing, the beast Lao Min Na has collected is larger than she thought, she doesn't understand how she collected so many beasts in a short moment even with other people help it's not possible one of the reasons not everyone dares to hunt the high-level beast, killed high-level beast is hard enough but capture it…and Xing Fang cultivators are not as strong as Dong Fang cultivators. So how she did it?

"Madam, do you know this…." Mong Yi hands a paper to Lory.

Lory accept the paper then frowned "Ethion language…but write in blood, human blood I presumed"

"Eth…what, what that supposed to mean?" Mong Yi looks clueless, this is not something he used to encounter.

"Ethion is an ancient language, a god language some said, well at least in my world" Lory explained while her eyes scrutinize the written on the paper.

"Why is written with blood, is that how it is"

"Depend on what you write about, the blood itself used to strengthen spell, I also done it myself a few times but this written is the veneration of evil, this is obviously a blasphemy" Lory takes a deep exhales, she is utterly agitated of what she finds "This a dark arts, she learned dark magic"

"A cultivator and a witch!" Mong Yi stupefied.

"I guessed so, I'm not sure people in this world able to learned magic" Lory click her tongue exasperatedly.

"Could she be stronger like you!" his breath hitched when he recalled what Lory could do to the black ship before, the memory still gives him a shiver when he remembers that day.

Lory put down the paper and shakes her head "No, she's not gifted, people who had no'Gift' have too much limitation without the ability to connect with a spirit like 'gifted' people, their power depends on the master they served and unfortunately, Lao Min Na served the might ancient demon, so I'm not sure how far she could go"

"This is unsettling, I have to report this to milord right away!" he anxiously said.

"Hm, tell every king palace about our finding, take all this report and give it to Bei Li Yan, tell him to make accuracy about this report, I should meet talk with Wu Sabo too since he is armament master like Zhao Li Xin, and Jiang Jin Wei, Jin Hao also, dammit I must talk with everyone especially Shin Jiu!" she massage her forehead tiredly.

"Yes, madam, I will send the message right away" Mong Yi also feel flustered, Lory is not someone who gets anxious easily in fact she is very easy going you wouldn't know she had been through so much if nobody told him.

Suddenly something coming at them at high speed "WATCH OUT!" Mong pushes Lory abruptly against the wall, with her keens reflex she raised her arms to protect herself hitting the wall, behind her Mong Yi was hit by a strong punch, the two of them push out of the window as their fist collide.

Lory saw their enemy is launching another violent punch while Mong Yi blocked every hit from the opponent, Lory jumps over the window to follow Mong Yi and his opponent, when she saw the enemy back she trow her knives imbued with ice element towards her opponent. Unfortunately, her move was noticed by the enemy, he immediately jumps to dodged lory knives.

Lory didn't waiting for her opponent to breathe she release her dagger toward her opponent, the red dagger fly at lightning speed splitting the air towards the surprised enemy. Too bad the enemy make back somersault to evade daggers, it seems their opponent is not weak.

"You okay Mong Yi?" Lory dash towards him.

"I'm okay young madam, I'm sorry I hurt you, madam," he said in remorse.

"What do you say, you save me silly" Lory chuckles.

"We should go, madam!" 

"Okay!" she agrees.

Before they could leave the danger is throw back at her but because Lory uses spells to control the dagger, the dagger didn't strike her only circle around her like a bee among the flower.

"Where do you wanna go?" the enemy release his palm against them, Mong Yi take a step in front of Lory he throws a punch to block the man fist, unfortunately, the enemy is stronger, Mong Yi pushes away then he is slammed to the ground with a loud sound.

The anger stirred within her Lory raised her hand to the air then chant "Ice spear!"

From the sky dozens of spear made from ice falling like rain towards the enemy, he was stunned by the sudden attack he had no choice but to moves in a quick zig-zag to avoid the ice that coming out of nowhere, he barely could evade the whole raining spear he is forced to take out his sword to slash the ice spear.

The ice shattered but Lory still not done yet, she leaps toward her enemy then waves her hands, chanting "Wind blade!" 

The wind blows like a sharp blade it strikes her opponent rapidly, the enemy tries to dodge the harsh wind but still, his arms and face were grazed by the sharp wind, Lory didn't care about the enemy, it was Mong Yi safety is her priority.

She checks Mong Yi condition and thankfully he is okay, he swallows the recovery pill, and his face color back to health again, it remained her with the recovery potion she used to have.

The enemy releases his Qi and just like a wave the wind blade was swallowed by the impact. 

"Sovereign at peak level!" Mong Yi was stunned.

The Dust that floating in the air gradually subside they finally able to recognize who is their enemy, he is sanguan Wu Ci. Lory bites her lower lips. How unfortunate to be caught by a strong opponent.

"What is Hei Shen people do in my manor?" he hissed dangerously.

"Do you believe me if I say that we just enjoyed the view?" Lory reply in jest.

The voice sounds familiar, Sanguan Wu Ci's forehead creased closely 'That can't be!'

"Luo Ri Yi?" he was stunned, deliberately or not he could never forget Lory voice or how she talks, the way she speaks and how he glances, he remembers vividly, he now what is this feeling is but he doesn't want to acknowledge it, however, his mind refuses to listen to him for days he can't stop thinking about her and it gradually transform into unbearable longing.

"It's you isn't it, I can recognize your voice anywhere" there's a hint of excitement in his words.

Mong Yi's faces scrunched up, what the hell, is this stupid man trying to seduce young madam, is he plan to court our young madam? OH HELL NO!

On the other hand, Lory thought if her words are so distinctive, Zhao Li Xin also finds her because of her voice, is this normal, is everyone have good memory here?
