The Princess And The Lord

The emergence of red pillar rays that shot into the sky has attracted many people and news began to spread throughout the world and gather many people from every continent to the city of Yu Jin. At the same time, the road to Yin Shan Mountain was closed by the Heaven's Gate sect as result it created an uproar that involve the Kingdom of Chang Lan as the monarch who have the utmost authority because of that situation inside the Yu Jin City became very tense.

More and more people entered the city of Yu Jin who came from various kingdoms and sects, in a short time they filled every corner of Yu Jin City while some ordinary people chose to leave the city but there were still many people left in a simple city to take advantage of arrival Arrive a lot of respectable people.

Some merchants took this opportunity to make a profit by providing some exclusive services such as residence, food, luxury items, and many more to the distinguished people while noble families are eager to make connections, after all, not every day all the respectable people from all over the world gather in one place.

At the small treasure shop, Lory disguised as a female shop attendant who worked in a shop, but because their shop was small, not many people were still people who visited the shop and most of them were foreigners from outside the city.

Lory stood on the second floor while looking down then he muttered calmly "more - and more people came"

"Ya Madam" Mong Yi answered when he stood next to him wearing the same uniform to disguise himself, "Yun Fang Zi The Crown Prince of Yun Mo Kingdom just arrived today and I heard Zhao Yi Chen also on the way" Mong Yi explained further.

"Did all the Monarch in this world are so relaxed they can leave their kingdom anytime they want?" Lory's mouth twitch as she remembered some empress also on the way.

"Usually not but because of the rare occurrence so it attracts many people from various levels, they all think there must be a valuable treasure or something that causes such a phenomenon at Yin Shan mountain," Mong Yi said

Lory then blows her cheeks "Well, they weren't wrong" Lory then lean on the railing with his arms crossed "There's a lot of male customers today too, huh?!" said Lory with a helpless look.

Mong Yi look down with a flat look, his eyes show he had no interest in the "Most of them are sect members"

"Are they strong?" Lory perfunctorily asks.

Mong Yi frowned for a second then answer nonchalantly "They will not become a problem"

"Individually may not…." Lory props her chin.

Mong Yi knows what Lory means, it will be the sect of those who will make a problem, actually, the situation becomes more chaotic when many people want to go to Yin Shan's mountain but the Heaven's Gate sect has blocked the road to what they will do, what they will do, There are only two options, first through negotiations which are the best choice but it some people might think it was troublesome while the second option will be through violence that means war, however, how many people dare to go on war with the Heaven's Gate sect?

And even if someone dares to fight, there will be many fallen victims, when people fight to the death the only one who will get the benefits is only Lazarus and the madam must be aware of this as well.

"There's news from Guan Men Niang or Wu San Bo?" Lory turned her head in Mong Yi.

"Unfortunately, not yet madam" Mong Yi answered regretfully.

Lory frowned while looking down and pondered because the situation had changed suddenly Lory worried about what Lazarus would do, and what the red light pillar mean? Did Lazarus know something about it, why couldn't she stop thinking that the demon was waiting for something...something significant.

No matter how much she thinks in the end, the truth could only be known after they obtained the Crimson Lightning sword. Lory closed her eyes while taking a deep breath even though she wanted to reduce the loss of innocent victims but when the time came to fight with Lazarus it seems that the situation will be unavoidable.

'Failure is unacceptable'

"Mong Yi, find a way to send a message to Wu San Bo, tell him to speed up the plan, we must destroy the Heaven Gate sect and Wei Zu Tian immediately so we can get the crimson Lightning sword as soon as possible, tell him to do whatever it takes… tell him this is an order as the owner of the Xin Shen token" her voice was calm and firm without the hints of authority.

Mong Yi is taken aback for a moment, he could see the glimpse of Lory's image as a noble princess but then Mong Yi quickly gathered his thoughts then cupped his fists and replied respectfully, "Understood, young madam!"

Lory never used her authority as the owner of Xin Shen's token by doing so it shows how urgent the situation was and that means they are obligated to do any length to fulfill her order. Soon after Mong Yi received his order he turn around and left leaving Lory alone with her eyes fix on the first floor watching the hustle and bustle with an unreadable expression.

"Lory…" Xi Ying suddenly comes from behind.

Her stomach has gotten a little bigger but she is still very active other than the mood swing swings and weird appetite Yang Xi Ying didn't have any severe symptoms, she didn't know if it was because of the herbal medicine, or because she was a cultivator, maybe because of Yang Xi Ying's nature but she didn't have too many problems like a normal pregnant woman in fact her appearance become softer and her face glowing like a pearl which makes her, even more, beautiful than she already is, as the result even with a simple dress she can still make men held their breaths as she walks past that is also one reason why they have so many male customers.

"Hey, how are you?" Lory sizes her up with genuine concern.

"I'm fine, I just had dinner with Brother Li" her face beamed with joy.

Lory's forehead was slightly wrinkled, lately, Yang Xi Ying has been craving food with very strong odors such as smelly tofu, fermented beans, and the like, when Lory entered the room she thought there was something dead in the room.

Unable to stand the smell finally Lory honestly said to Yang Xi Ying 'Sweety, I love you so much but I can't eat with you anymore'

Luckily Yang Xi Ying understood after all Lory wasn't brought up in this world so she was more tolerant towards Lory but couldn't say the same to Li Mo Zhen, well he had to accompany Yang Xi Ying to the bitter and worst.

Lory felt sorry for the gentle and kind man Li Mo Zhen even Zhao Li Xin just stood in front of the door for a second before he immediately left leaving Lory who was still trapped inside, and for the first time, Zhao Li Xin ditch her.

Yang Xi Ying leaned against the railing beside Lory while looking down and her brows furrowed gradually, "Why do we get so many male customers?" she suddenly grumbled.

"..."

Yang Xi Ying then continues "Perhaps because there are so many prospective bachelors and bachelorettes in the city, people become eager to find potential spouses" Yang Xi Ying clicked her tongue with a disgusted expression, "I thought they came here for serious reasons…" she sneered coldly.

"Well, this is a rare opportunity to establish a relationship between sects or noble families after all this occasion didn't happen every day" Lory concludes.

"I think so" Yang Xi Ying sighed then suddenly clapped her hands "Oh, I got news from Yue Yin, she said she will be here tomorrow" Yang Xi Ying smiled excitedly.

"Oh, that's great..." Lory's expression lit up, she feel terrible she cannot attend Ming Yue Yin's wedding, yet again her marriage was also a mess and she never attended Yang Xi Ying's wedding because they only closed after that, Lory thought maybe she had no luck when it comes to attending a normal wedding.

"Oh, there also news that many sects have sent a lot of treasures to Heaven gate sect as a bribe so that they could enter Empyrean green forest? in the end, they tried peaceful means" Yang Xi Ying said.

Lory was curious, "Does that work?"

Yang Xi Ying shrugged "I don't know, I haven't heard anything since then but my hunch says it won't be that easy"

"Yeah, I also thought the same especially when Lao Min Na was involved…. I wonder what she has up her sleeve" Lory said with a wary expression.

Xi Ying suddenly snapped her fingers, "There's other news too! Do you remember the people we met when we went to Yu Jin city, the people from the Sword saint sect!" she deliberately divert the conversation.

Lory frowned as she try to remember not long after her eyes widened, "That stupid boy who wanted to get a cat divine beast...he still alive?!" Lory's eyes widened in shock.

Yang Xi Ying chuckled cause she also reacted the same way when she heard the news "Apparently...."

"How is his condition now?" Lory marvels that a lousy boy was able to preserve his life.

"He was injured but the one who almost died was the man called Yang Zhou…. you remember that man, tough-looking man - stoic face?" Yang Xi Ying makes a description with her hands and face, she actually had a good impression of the loyal man, she thought it was a waste for that good man almost die for that stupid boy.

Lory also felt the same way, the man looks respectable and honest, it's a shame to lose a man like that. "Yes-yes, good man, I hope he is well"

"Well, he's still alive but I don't know his condition precisely, but I heard the Sword Saint sect leader Tao Ji Fang came and I heard he gives his Son quite a beating" Yang Xi Ying raised her thumbs up and laughs clearly she didn't feel sorry at all for the stupid kid.

"Yeah, he deserved it," Lory said in agreement if it was her it wouldn't end with just a beating cause as the leader it was an unforgivable mistake to put his subordinates recklessly in a dangerous situation, especially just for his own satisfaction.
