The Princess And The Lord

The following conversation was boring so Zhao Li Xin didn't pay attention too much, he just sits there watching his father entice him with glory, power, wealth, and woman, he subtly hinted to Zhao Li Xin once he got the swords he would have everything he ever wishes, for once Zhao Li Xin agree with him because Lory saves and well is his only wishes.

An hour later Zhao Li Xin left the study room, just when he walks across the garden Bai Xue already waiting for him. Her eyes shined like stars in a night the moment she saw him, however, Zhao Li Xin didn't slow down his pace he walks past her like she wasn't there, Bai Xue didn't have time to feel offended she takes long strides to catch his shadow.

"Wait, what is Uncle Sanguan told you?" she lifts her skirt then chased Zhao Li Xin while grinding her teeth in anger.

"Nothing is your concern…" Zhao Li Xin replies indifferently.

Anger rose within her but she controls her feeling she knew it's not worth to fight with him right now, not when she decide to help him "You wrong if we want to make Uncle Sanguan believe about our relationship I need to know what did he told you….." she clarifies her intention.

'Our relationship' give a bad taste on the tip of his tongue, he forgot how much he hated to involve with other women " sanguan Jin Sheng believe it, that's all you need to know" he hastens his feet as he make widen the distance between them.

She felt a flash of irritation within her she grab Zhao Li Xin's sleeve "I took a big risk to cooperated with you, can you try to be nicer to me, you know what would my master do if she knew what I had done, I could be expelled from my sect…you don't have to like me but can't you trust me?" 

Zhao Li Xin pulls his sleeves from her hand harshly and he sneers "Trust?"

He laughs at her like she was a joke, Bai Xue's expression stiffed.

"How is your cultivation right now miss Bai, better isn't it? I think it won't take long before you get your breakthrough, If not because of white cloudy grass pills will you cooperate with me? only after you know how capable I am you throw away your long loyalty to your master, just admit it....you are a selfish woman miss Bai – I know it – you know it, so don't act like a poor innocent young woman in front of me….it's embarrassing" Zhao Li Xin raised his chin, his piercing gaze strike her heart like an arrow, he tears off her mask show her how ugly she truly is.

Bai Xue's red lips trembles humiliated and embarrassed she can't look at him in the eyes. deep down she knew everything he said is true, she is a selfish and opportunist woman to raise her cultivation, it's already two since she stuck the bootleneck of her cultivation, she didn't tell anyone because it could implicate her position and reputation as talented Zi Quan Mei core disciple, coincidently Zhao Li Xin has something that could help her so she take this chance without regards about her master family.

"Play your part, Miss Bai, try not to betray me as you did to my father and your master then I assure you that you will gain more than you ever dream of…but if you betray me, well...don't tell me I never warn you before...." Zhao Li Xin flicks his sleeves as he rests one of his arms behind his back and walks away.

Bai Xue stood there watching Zhao Li Xin's figure disappeared across the moon gate. Her eyes filled with grieve and anger she hates him for how he make her feel, she used to be the proud core disciple of sacred immortal sect her position is above many people, she used to have people fawn over her, they treat her courteously even the royal family will treat her with respect and because her mesmerizing beauty men are fought for her attention but Lu Xin….

She clenched her fist, the more he pushed her away the more she wants him, she will not give up isn't his heart made from flesh and blood, she believes one day she would able to moves his heart and he would become just another men who were pleaded for her love.

Lory clapped her hands together and shouted "DONE!"

In front of her, a giant beast carcass lay on the ground while surrounded by her and her friends, they also look relaxed after soo much excitement. 

"What should we do with this?" Ming Yue Yin put her arms on her hips while tilting her head.

"We need someone to figure out what is this thing," said Yang Xi Ying.

"Someone who is very smart, someone who is passionate about weird stuff and the inexplicable..." Li Mo Zhen chimed in.

"Yeah, someone we can trust…" Lory mutters.

"That person should have knowledge about Lory and her power as well" Ming Yue Yin adds in.

They look at each other and 'that' someone flash in their mind then they shout simultaneously

"JIN HAO!"

_____________________________________________

"Well – well – well, what we do get here?" Jin Hao pinches his chin while staring at the beast carcass with eyes fill with interest, almost like a pervert watching the young girls "I just left for a few days and I already missed so much…..I should've not go" he grumble quietly.

"Come on, at least we bring a gift!" Lory grin and open her arms as if she presented a big present for him.

Jin Hao staring at the giant blody carcass on the eight giant table that joined together in a middle of the room to hold the beast enourmous body, Jin Hao smiles happily "Yes, you did….."

Jin Hao who used to be allof now grinned from ear to ear, Lory roll her eyes watching his expression no matter what world yo go a scientist always a little bit crazy. Not long after Yuan Xue An came she carry surgical apparatus on the tray, then she put the tray on the table at the corner, she didn't look scared when she saw the giant beast carcass only scrunch up her face a little bit, perhaps because the smelled.

The timid and shy little girl is no more, Yuan Xue An is calm, confident and slightly cold, she remained Lory with surgeouns she used to met at the hospital.

"Hi Xue An!" Lory wave her hands casually.

"It's been a while miss Luo" she smiles sweetly, at least her smile is still the same.

"Are you Jin Hao's assistant now?" Ming Yue Yin surprised.

"Nice to meet you again your majesty!" she becomes more excited when she saw Ming Yue Yin, no matter what Ming Yue Yin is still her idol "Yes, I'm Master Jin assistant now, I also learn about alchemy too!" she said proudly like a little girl ask for praise from the elder.

"That's amazing, and your cultivation is not low either" Ming Yue Yin could feel the abundant Qi flown all over Yuan Xue An body it seem she already reach master level, which is not bad considering she was a 'waste' a year ago.

Yuan Xue An face turns crimson, she's happy Ming Yue Yin acknowledges her hard work "Heheh…It's nothing~" she shyly said.

"She's still too slow…" Jin Hao suddenly barged in.

Yuan Xue An puffs her cheeks in upset "My progress is normal, not everyone is a monster like you…" she chides him without fear, seems like their relationship is better than everyone thought.

"Hump, if I monster then what is Milord?" Jin Hao snort.

"DEMON LORD!" everyone say simultaneously.

"...."

After that Lory and the others left Jin Hao and Yuan Xue An to dissect the carcass, then Lory orders the shadow guard to gather all the beast carcass including the one that was killed by Li Mo Zhen and Yang Xi Ying to Jin Hao 'Laboratory' then she burned the whole cave to cover their track.

Then Lory met with Bei Li Yan and Wu San Bo at the Manor, the King palace finally gather again, together they exchange information. Lory told them what she found in Lao Min Na's room and also about the Beast tide, Lory information gives them a better understanding of the situation and the strange beast and cave where Lao Min Na held captive the beast also gives them a new light.

"There must be another cave like this," said Bei Li Yan.

"But where she got all the money, we crush her business long time ago even if she starts to build her business again she wouldn't able to gather so much money in a short time" Wu San Bo has been investigated Lao Min Na business and relation, she does build her business again since she came to Yun Dao city but the money she make is less than half than the money she used to make at Xing Fang continent. 

"The Misty lake, Jin Kai" Bei Li Yan abruptly said.

Lory and Wu San Bo stunned for a second but then they realize it make sense, there still Jin kai on her hands, jin Kai is an unscrupulous man with an enormous appetite for power and glory, that is two things that Lao Min Na could provide for him since she is a talented alchemist.

"Then Jin Kai involved with the apparition of this strange beast?" Wu San Bo knew Jin Kai because of his relationship with Jin Hao, he knows how much Jin kai felt threatened with Jin Hao existance, even though Jin hao never have attention to return to Misty lake after what happened but there still elders at Misty Lake hope that Jin hao would return, after all, Jin Hao talent is one in a million, everyone at the misty lake would never let go such a talent especially when Jin family blood flown inside him, this is why Jin Kai always scare that one day Jin Hao would change his mind and decide to fight with him for the leader position of the Misty lake.
