The Princess And The Lord

The sanguan Family is the most influential family at Gui Hong Continent, they are lived in Yun Dao city the capital city of Yunmo kingdom, The sanguan family has a duke title, even the emperor first princess marry with the future patriarch of the Sanguan family, it can be said other than the emperor family, Sanguan family is the one who had most authority in the kingdom.

Sanguan family is also known for produce talented heir, many of them is a great cultivator and martial art expert so is not weird for Lao Min Na try to curry their favor not to mention Gui Hong continent is more advances compare to the continent where Zhao Li Xin and the other lived.

"Gui Hong continent sounds great" Lory picks up a prawn Xiao Long Bao to her plate then she adds ginger and vinegar before she takes a whole dumpling in one bite, her moves are calmed but swift so no one notices her gluttons.

"Indeed, that's why I strengthen my military force especially navy forces because my kingdom is surrounded with canals and rivers it would be trouble if someone used one of the canals to attack my city, I also increase the water security though" Ming Yue Yin stirred her noodle with a serious face however Lory not sure is it because of her kingdom matters or because the noodles, she always make that face when she has a meal.

"But no one tries to attack before isn't it" Lory raised her brows.

"It would be too late when they actually come isn't it?" Ming Yue Yin lifts the chopstick then eat the noodle in an elegant manner. It's amazing how she eats seafood noodle soup without stained her clothes and face.

 "True, better safe than sorry" Lory nods as she agrees with her.

"With general Fu watching at the front line, we have nothing to fear" Yang Xi Yin smiles brightly, she lifts her spoon and takes a small bite dumpling, she eats slowly and gracefully as a dignified noble daughter should be.

The three girls with different personalities have a meal together, the ambiance around them is warmed, peaceful and light they don't realize they attract the attention of those around them. people can't stop take a few glances at them.

The three girls have a different type of beauty one is elegant, the other one is cheerful while the last although she is not as beautiful as the other but her clear and big beautiful eyes make people unable to avert their gaze from her, the three girls dress modestly but for discerning eyes, they would know that the fabric material of their dress is not cheap. And yet they could have a joyous meal in the small tavern without showing any concern.

Unbeknown by them someone is watching them from the second-floor restaurant across their tavern. A handsome man with an arrogant look down from his window, he watched three young girls chatted and laugh in a carefree manner they might not notice that many young men take a repeated glance at them, judging from their clothes and demeanor it was clear that they are not from this island, probably they are someone from aristocrat family but how could noble lady had no maidservant accompany them.

For young girls their reputation is their life for them to walk carelessly without someone escorting them would make them would ruin their reputation and also their family when that happened who wants to marry them so he is baffled that the three girls seem didn't care, is it because they thought no one would know them? Then what if people have ill intent towards them, they are after all beautiful and young women, a lot of people would pay a hefty amount of money to get young fresh meat like them, it's a wonder why they are not worried.

[Lory, someone is watching you] Girsha suddenly warned her using their telepathic connection.

Lory movement stopped for a second then she continues as if nothing happened [Is that person have ill intent] she take another bite of Xiao Long Bao.

[No, that person only curious, but he is strong….stronger as the white hair guy and that shemale] what Girsha mean is Jin Hao and Bei Li Yan, so this person is a sovereign cultivator.

Lory wiped her mouth then drink her tea in one gulped "I'm done, what about you girls?"

"I'm done too" Yang Xi Ying nodded.

"Me too!" Ming Yue Yin wiped her hands with a clean towel "So, whose paid?" she wiggle her eyebrows. 

Her words shocked the stall owner, they can't believe these two girls are broke when they dress so nicely, everyone shakes their head in contempt but Lory and the other didn't care, this has become their games when they have a meal together, Lory takes three toothpicks and cut a half one of the toothpick, she clutches the three toothpicks in her hands then raised it towards them "Okay, time to choose!"

Ming Yue Yin and yang Xi Yin giggles, each of them took one toothpick and examined it, the one chose the small toothpick have to pay the meal and this time is Ming Yue Yin's turn, Lory and Yang Xi Yin guffawed watching Ming Yue Yin upset look. Of course, she had the money but it still annoying to be the loosing ends.

"You pay sweetheart!" Lory snickered.

"Thank you for the meal~" Yang Xi Ying cupped her fist elegantly.

Ming Yue Yin rolls her eyes then puts a few silver coins on the table without bothering to look "Let's do this again, I won't lose next time!" he glares at both her friends.

Lory and Yang Xi Ying burst to laugh and left the tavern, the tavern owner sigh in relief not only that girls pay their meal it seems they also pay extra, the tavern owner face beamed with delight. He hopes the three weird girls would visit his tavern again. The guest who saw their antics shakes their head again what carefree and willful young girls they are, they wonder what kind of man would marry that type of girls.

The man who watched them from the second floor is chuckles, they never seen young girls who make jokes like this and they collaborated harmoniously this must be not their first shenanigans, what a carefree young lass.

His eyes follow the trio then suddenly one of the girls look up, for a second their gaze meets, her big and clear eyes startled him but the next second the woman turn away as if nothing happened, the man heart slightly sunk as he watches that woman walk away, but then he scoffed and shakes his head 'what a ridiculous thought' that woman is only a stranger and she's not that beautiful either, he must be too tired because of the long journey.

"First brother Sanguan what are you thinking" a melodious voice snap him back from his stupor. The petite beautiful girl smiles at him with a curious gaze she looks innocent and lovable.

"Nothing, I just remember something" he smiles back at her. He takes a sip of his wine in a graceful manner. He stares at the woman beside him, she is very beautiful, docile, and very obedient, she is adored him and dependant completely with him, she is the type of woman he likes the most, she can boost his man-ego and never make a fuss, but still, he feel hesitated to make her as his official wife. 

"Aren't you lucky Wu Ci to have a beautiful woman like Ruan Qiao Qin worry for you all the time" the older man teased the two youngsters with a boisterous voice.

The man name Sanguan Wu Ci does feel proud but his feeling hidden behind his gentle smiles, while Ruan Qiao Qin looks down shyly "Uncle Zi, what are you talking about" she puffed her cheeks in upset look.

"Why are you so shy, is not like I'm lying isn't it" he guffawed heartily. The older man is name is Zi Yu Tong the maternal uncle of Sanguan Wu Ci, even though he is the elder but he acted as Sanguan Wu Ci subordinated, he does not feel embarrassed because Sanguan Wu Ci is the next patriarch of the Sanguan family so why not curry his favor early.

Zi Yu Tong had no ambition other than wealth and women, he is lazy and overbearing, all his life he used his older sister position to enjoyed the Sanguan family glorious reputation, a lot of people hated him but his sister is the madam of the sanguan family, so no one dare provoked him.

Ruan Qiao Qin blushed, even more, she feel embarrassed but happy at the same time because Sanguan Wu Ci seems didn't rebuke his uncle's words, she hope this means that he like her too if that true she can't even imagine how delighted she would be.

"Uncle stop teasing Xiao Qin, what about the big black ship I asked you about" Zhuang Wu Ci smoothly shift the conversation to save the pretty lady from more embarrassment.

"Ah yes, people said that ship belongs to the Hei Shen sect, and Long Ming is on that ship" the smiles in Zi Yu Tong's face dissipated then quickly his expression turn serious. 

"The real Long Ming is here?" Ruan Qiao Qin gasped, even when she lived at Gui Hong continent she had heard a lot of rumor about Long Ming, how cruel and vicious that man is. Many people called him Demon Lord while others called him Monster, none of the rumors are good except that he doting his new wife very much and he had no qualms to punish everyone who tried to hurt his wife.

"The ship looks in bad condition, you know what happened?" Sanguan Wu Ci's curiosity piqued.

"I don't know if the rumor is true or not…" he squinted his small slanted eyes, Zi yu Tong behavior makes his already small eyes into a thin line, then continue with doubt expression, "They said he sailed through the storm"

Everyone in the room including maids and bodyguard is dumbfounded, they heard how violent the thunderstorm is, they say this is a kind of thunderstorm who only exist once in a thousand year, some lucky people who survive that storm is because they are not close enough and managed to make a run from it before their ship enters the storm, still their confession sends chills to everyone who heard it. And it seems not a bogus story either because all ship that traps inside that storm no one is returned, they all disappeared.

"Are you sure, could they be lying?" Zhuang Wu Ci's said with a frowned.

"I don't know, but the Zhuang family from Shan Hu city does inform us that Long Ming is leaving their harbor two days ago"

"Is there any casualty? How many Hei Shen people die, how is Long Ming?" Zhuang Wu Ci will not believe that Loong Ming escaped the storm unscathed, is not like he is a real Demon Lord.

"That's the problem…." He crossed his plump arms on his chest "They say other than bruised and sprained the Hei Shen people look fine and someone saw Long Ming having a great dinner with his friends…..so, I'm not sure"

Zhuang Wu Ci scoffed "Lie, it must be Long Ming schemed to increased his fame" Zhuang Wu Ci sneer, he is a proudful man is hard for him to accept other people achieve more than him so he naturally diminished Long Ming capability this someday would be proven as a big mistake.
