The Princess And The Lord

Lory and the others are still trapped inside the underground dungeon with more hybrid beasts attacking her. This time Shin Jiu cannot be quiet anymore with Bai Zi helping the little boy manage to kill a few beasts while Lory gives Guan Yi Jue a protective talisman just in case some beast manages to get close to him.

[Lory where are you?] Girsha who was searching for her got impatient.

Lory heard the old bird grumble Lory swept his gaze around him then heaved a long sigh [I don't know, I think I'm lost…] Lory replied casually, he wasn't worried because he had a lot of supplies in his ring so he didn't have to be afraid even if she was trapped for a long time. , thanks to her worrywart husband he had increased the size of the space in Lory spatial ring right before Lory came to the Whispering Forest, hence Zhao Li Xin make sure Lory got everything she need to save Shin Jiu.

[Should I just break this place?] Girsha clicks his tongue angrily.

[And burry us alive..] Lory sarcastically asks.

Lory could hear Girsha snorting in annoyance, well she also felt the same, honestly, Lory was feeling tired after fighting for so long so now she found a corner to rest with the others for a while but before she could rest Lory cast a spell and then a circle of runes appeared on the ground and a barrier raised from the ground just like transparent fence after Lory ensured their safety she then crouched down with the boys then took out some pills and elixir from her ring and placed them on the ground one by one for Shin Jiu to choose because she was 'not sure which pill is suitable for Shin Jiu condition.

Shin Jiu was speechless when he saw the dozens of high-quality elixir and pills arrange neatly in front of him, although he knew Zhao Li Xin spoiled her to the moon and back, still, Shin Jiu was dumbfounded how Zhao Li Xin treat this rare and high-quality medicine like a cabbage, not to mention his master doesn't even know how to use the precious medicines properly, isn't that a waste!

The reason Lory has little knowledge of medicine in this world is simply because he has little interest in medicine in this world other than that most of her 'conditions' cannot be treated with medicine in this world so Lory doesn't feel the need to learn about this medicines too much.

Lory also had other reasons why she was reluctant to take medicine in this world and that is because all the medicine that Jin Hao has created tastes more bitter than any normal medicine that is sold out there because Jin Hao doesn't care about the taste but more about results. After all, who cares about taste when the medicine is beneficial for its users.

"Master, why does this pill smell like strawberry?" Shin Jiu sniffed the bottle suspiciously.

"Oh this one smelled like grape?" Guan Yi Jue tilted his head.

Lory smiled awkwardly "I guess it was for me"

Although Jin Hao couldn't be of much help when Lory's mana was depleted or when she was weakened by her curse, however, Jin Hao's medicine could still nourish Lory's body, but since the medicine and tonic in this world were too bitter for Lory's childish taste buds, it became quite tug and the war situation whenever Zhao Li Xin forced Lory to take her medicine, tired from bickering with his wife Zhao Li Xin then forced Jin Hao to make medicine according to Lory's taste buds, annoyed and displeased Jin Hao had no choice but to follow his Lord order.

Lory had heard this from Bei Li Yan who laughed at Jin Hao's predicament without feeling any pity. On the other hand, Lory felt guilty towards Jin Hao.

Actually if in an emergency situation she wouldn't hesitate to take Jin Hao's medicine after all she wouldn't be so ignorant but Lory didn't expect instead reminding her childish behavior Zhao Li Xin ordered Jin Hao to adjust the medicine with her taste buds, it seemed Lory was still underestimating how much Zhao Li Xin spoiled her.

Lory was touched by Zhao Li Xin's attitude but also felt guilty for Jin Hao and also felt very ashamed of her attitude, if this happened in her old world while her father was still around she would surely be punished for being selfish and childish not to mention all her friends will make fun of her endlessly.

Lory timidly kept the bottle back in her ring, at the same time she wondered how many other pills were like this, Lory felt like she lost her face in front of the kids when they all bravely swallowed the medicine without complaint.

Hence the two boys sat quietly after they treated their wounds, Shin Jiu meditated to circulate his Qi while Guan Yi Jue felt much better after he took Jin Hao's medicine then his stomach growled and Lory gave him a bento box to satisfy his hunger.

Lory sighed and rested her head on Bai Zi's back, her eyes feel heavy she can't help to close her eyes just for a while, actually Lory didn't tell anyone she had lost a lot of mana after she healed Guan Yi Jue, and plus she fought with many hybrid beasts for a long time, she really needs time to recover her mana sadly she know she didn't have that luxury she can only hope Girsha will found her soon or she found the way out from this place needless to say, she had to persist until then.

"Master, are you all right?"

  Shin Jiu's voice startled her and Lory jerked from her rest, Lory rubbed her eyes and replied weakly "Yeah, I'm fine... how about you?" Lory pretends to be alright, she doesn't want to worry the little boy.

Shin Jiu knew Lory was tired, someone said that his master's power was still incomplete that's why she got injured sometimes whenever she overused her powers and considering Lory had fought for quite a while and even used her special healing power to heal him and the 'bun' next to him Shin Jiu could guess that Lory had exhausted her power however since they were still in dangerous situation Lory didn't say anything so she wouldn't make them feel worried.

Shin Jiu felt bad for dragging Lory's feet down if he wasn't caught. Lory wasn't going to be here and put herself in danger to find him, even though Shin Jiu was happy for Lory's sacrifices but, he felt sorry that his strength was far from sufficient to help her.

"Master, I…."

"Psst!" Lory suddenly raised her hands, her eyes wander her left and right and she suddenly knelt in one knee then clench her dagger, Lory take a deep breath and closed her eyes, the air turn heavy as dark energy creeping towards her, the sudden change of atmosphere alert not only Lory but also Bai Zi and Shin Jiu, as for Guan Yi Jue since he could feel the tension he quickly put down his half-empty meal box and moves his body closer to Lory just like chick hide under mother hen.

Lory patted Guan Yi Jue's head to soothe the little boy "Get on Bai Zi right now!" Lory was trying to be as calm as possible.

Guan Yi Jue could feel anxiety flashing through Lory's eyes and he became nervous because of it, the more clear-headed Shin Jiu quickly pushed Guan Yi Jue on top of Bai Zi along with him, judging by Lory's reaction this time the enemy was not the same as before.

Lory strengthened the circle of runes around them, a Lucicent protective shield was erected from the ground and surrounded them like a transparent dome.

not long after light footsteps slowly came towards them the sound became clear every second, Lory's heart was pounding in her chest it had been a while since she felt this thick black miasma even when Sanguan Li Ye's transform into lesser Demon she didn't emit this much dark miasma.

Suddenly the footsteps stopped, Guan Yi Jue and Shin Jiu exchanged anxious looks while Lory remained calm then she opened her palm and the dagger floated above her hand and multiplied more than before, dozens of daggers gathered around her like sharp thorns around a flower.

Suddenly the walls around them exploded, a giant chunk of rock from the ceiling fell on their heads, and debris was scattered on all sides luckily they were protected by Lucicent's barrier so the rocks shattered before it could touch them.

Almost got hit by a big rock Guan Yi Jue almost pissed himself his body shook violently he thought he could escape that but to his surprise, he and Shin Jiu were still alive their clothes not even dirty from all that debris, Guan Yi Jue heaved a sigh of relief.

On the contrary, Shin Jiu's face turned pale as his entire body became tense and Bai Zi also became more alert, knowing one wasn't trying to shock them hence this attack was meant to kill them instantly if Lory didn't create a barrier to protect them, they would. ..

"Ma…master…" covered in fear Shin Jiu's voice stuttered.

"Calm down, the enemy wants to intimidate us don't let your imagination run wild, keep steady….the enemy is here" Lory warns Shin Jiu while her eyes fix to her front.

Lory's firm back makes Shin Jiu's mind immediately calm down, he took a deep breath then took out the sword that Lory gives him, Shin Jiu then turns his head toward Guan Yi Jue "Whatever happened you cannot leave Bai Zi, remember that"

Guan Yi Jue was scared but he still nod his head obediently "Yes, Brother!"

Lory hear the boys exchange words and she smiles "Don't worry, nothing will happen as long I'm here"
