The Princess And The Lord

Seeing Zi Quan Mei not moving Lory heaved a sigh of relief, Lory never underestimated Zi Quan Mei's strength all that teasing is just her way to mess Zi Quan Mei's concentration during the fight and thankfully, it work. 

Lory knew very well how strong Zi Quan Mei was and it seemed she also had taken the pills from Lao Min Na to increase his cultivation in a short moment so she is much stronger than a normal sovereign level cultivator, Lory could feel the remnants of black magic ooze from Zi Quan Mei's body, she had no idea what type of pills Lao Min Na give to Zi Quan Mei nevertheless, it was lucky that Lory was able to subdue Zi Quan Mei without any trouble.

[Lory, I feel your mana fluctuating, are you alright?] Girsha called out anxiously over the telepathic connection.

[Yes, I'm fine] Lory replied while knelt beside Zi Quan Mei's listless body that lay on the ground then Lory checked Zi Quan Mei's neck, and there she found her necklace.

'Told you, I will get it back!'

Lory's smirk, then she took the necklace off Zi Quan Mei, she wiped the necklace with his sleeve before she put it on.

[Who fought with you?] Girsha asked.

[Zi Quan Mei..] Lory answers nonchalantly.

[Is she dead?] Girsha asked again.

[Well, she had to, but let me check again!] Lory put her finger on Zi Quan Mei's neck to check her pulse but before she can feel Zi Quan Mei pulsed suddenly she heard a commotion that was slowly increasing towards her.

[DA*N!] Lory clicked her tongue in annoyance.

[What's wrong, girl?] Girsha was immediately alert.

Lory's eyes stared in the direction the commotion came from, [I got company...] she muttered.

[Should I break the array now?] Girsha became a little worried about her safety.

[No, I have to find Shin Jiu first] Lory sighed as he got up from the ground then he said to Girsha again, [Tell Li Xin to be patient and tell him that the arrow he made for me worked like wonder]

[Haha you wanted to make him worry didn't you!] Girsha laughed dryly.

[Nevermind then...] Lory sighed then she waved her hand then she softly whisper [Here comes the fog…]

Instantly a thick white fog came from all directions and the entire area was shrouded in the white fog then slowly Lory's figure disappeared into the fog.

dozens of people came in groups, they heard the sound of crowds in the usually quiet place and they immediately suspected that an enemy was sneaking in but out of nowhere a thick white fog appeared in the direction they were headed, obstructing their view.

"Where did this fog come from?" one of them shouted in confusion.

even though it is at the top of the mountain and the fog often falls but during the day the fog is usually not this thick and why is it only in this part that the fog looks thick?

"Check the place right away!" the leader of the group immediately ordered, he also felt something strange about this fog but who can control the fog? then again, can the fog be controlled?

the moment they landed, the fog surrounded them like a white blanket even though they had a sufficient level of cultivation but the fog was like a pair of hands that covered their eyes so they could see anything around them. 

Suddenly one of them felt that he stepped on something and he quickly raised his feet in a hurry worried it would be some kind of trap but then he realized that he was stepping on someone's hand, using some of his Qi he blow the wind around them to disperse some of the fog around him and there he found Zi Quan Mei's body.

"Brother, I found Miss Zi!" the man shouted in panic. The panic in his voice caught everyone's attention and they immediately followed the direction of the man's voice.

when they came they were shocked to see Zi Quan Mei lying motionless on the ground, one of them checked Zi Quan Mei's breathing then realized Zi Quan Mei was still breathing even though she was very weak and from her shallow breathing, they thought Zi Quan Mei cannot be helped.

"Brothers, what should we do?" the man who checked Zi Quan Mei looked worried, after all, Zi Quan Mei's relationship with Wei Zu Tian was not simple, he was worried that Wei Zu Tian would blame them.

Suddenly a strong wind blew and suddenly the fog around them disappeared, in the midst of their shock Lao Min Na walked quietly, her pale face made her red lips stand out, her face looked very beautiful like a god who descended from heaven but the coldness of her gaze made all people who saw it shuddered.

Maybe only those closest to Lao Min Na realized how much Lao Min Na had changed compared to before, even though she had always been known to be cold and aloof but the current Lao Min Na was apathetic and distant as if she couldn't feel any emotions, actually she looked very similar with Zhao Li Xin before he met Lory.

"Miss Lao" they all knelt down and bowed their heads at the same time, none of them dared to raise their heads, all were silent while holding their breaths for some reason they were more afraid of Lao Min Na than Wei Zu Tian.

Lao Min Na didn't care about her surroundings, she looked at Zi Quan Mei who lay helplessly staring at her head with a deprecating sneer spread across her alluring face, Lao Min Na turned Zi Quan Mei over with her feet quite harshly, then Lao Min Na took out a black pill from her sleeve then she kneeled next to Zi Quan Mei with her long pale finger she shoves the pill into Zi Quan Mei's mouth

"Do you want revenge?" Lao Min Na softly said, her voice that sounds sweeter than honey but her expression was darker than ebony.

Zi Quan Mei's eyelids fluttered as if she try to open her eyes, Lao Min Na smirked showing her white canine teeth "Good....."

Meanwhile, Lory had run far away, with Lory's reinforcing spell on her body she bounced nimbly between the roofs and the three and added invisible spells no one noticed her. Lory then stops in one of the roofs then called Bai Zi out of her ring as soon as the big tiger came out Lory immediately gave the order "Take me to the well you said!"

Bai Zi realized the time had come even though it was sooner than he thought but he was overjoyed to find his true master, the big tiger nodded his big head firmly "Follow me madam" said the tiger.

A pair of beasts and humans finally arrived at another abandoned place that appeared to be the monk's residence, Lory then saw in the corner of the dilapidated courtyard a well that was half broken.

"Is this?" Lor,y peeked into the well and it was already dark.

"Yeah, I can't find Master anywhere even though my heart tells me he's near then I feel strange energy came from this well, something evil...I don't know but maybe..."

"I got it!" Lory interrupts, she already understands Bai Zi means "Something really vile did linger down there" Lory then turned around and changed her shoes into boots, and tied her hair into a ponytail.

"Let's go!" without further a do Lory jumped onto the wall without hesitation.

Immediately gravity pulled her down, turn out the well is more cramped and deeper than she thought, but Lory wasn't worried about that but rather the thick black miasma that grew thicker as she closer to the bottom that truly worried her.

Feeling they reached the end of the well, Lory spread her arms and stabbed both daggers into the wall to slow down her landing, sparks shot out from the dagger that clashing with the stone wall and before she reached the end she created a rune circle to hold her fall, the rune circle shone as it absorbed Lory weight just like a soft mattress, therefore Lory land safely without any scratch.

And what does Bai Zi do? well, he shrunk his body into the size of a kitten and bounce between the wall just like an actual cat.

Thankfully, because of that Lory didn't get stuck with Bai Zi in the well. But down here it was pitch black, she could even see her own hands. Lory opened her palm and cast a light spell then install a bright purple light illuminated the well.

"Bai Zi can't you find something down there?" Lory looked down but apart from weeds, she couldn't find anything.

Bai Zi suddenly shouted, "Madam, there's an airflow that came from here!"

The place that Bai Zi said was covered with long dry grass so Lory had to push the grass away to check and there she found a small hole and yes she felt the air hit her face.

"Miss, can your body fit the hole" Bai Zi innocently asks because the hole is quite small for humans.

Lory felt a little offended her mouth twitched slightly "Yes I can!" Lory answered confidently but inwardly Lory wasn't too sure.

The hole looked very narrow and she had to crawl for God's knows how long it could take her? if she gets stuck she will be too embarrassed to ask for help.

"Mistress, I'm going first!" Bai Zi said kindly.

Lory smiled dryly, "Yeah, you go first!"
