"Okay, I'm done," Lory finished her lunch and placed the utensils back in her ring. The ring made her life more convenient.

"You don't need to hurry. Sit for a while to digest," Zhao Li Xin said.

​​

"It's okay. I will digest my food better if I walk," Lory reassured him.

Zhao Li Xin sighed and yielded, "If you said so."

They were fifteen minutes into their journey when they saw a frantic woman dressed in white ran towards them. Zhao Li Xin pushed Lory behind him out of reflex while the Mong brothers and the two King Palaces stood in front of Zhao Li Xin.

"HELP ME!" The woman screamed at the top of her lungs as they were three wolves chasing her.

"Isn't that Huang Ni Yang?" Lory peeked through Zhao Li Xin's arm.

The others squinted for a better look. The woman was Huang Ni Yang yet no one moved to save the damsel in distress as they weren't knights in shining armor. Their attitude when the watched Huang Ni Yang was more like, 'I don't know you, and I don't care'.

Huang Ni Yang panicked when Zhao Li Xin and his subordinates didn't bother to help her. They actually looked irritated to see her. Her only hope for survival was to get near them. She gathered the last of her power and ran towards Zhao Li Xin and his people.

The wolves also increased their speed and were ready to attack Zhao Li Xin's group. Mong Ki and Mong Yi had no choice but to fight them as they cursed the stupid woman.

"Help me, PLEASE!" Huang Ni Yan reached out to Zhao Li Xin's arm, not noticing his murderous gaze. Bei Li Yan grabbed her hand tightly before she could touch him.

"Keep your hand away from my lord if you still want to live," Bei Li Yan warned Huang Ni Yang with a beautiful but wicked smile.

Huang Ni Yang retracted her hand from Bei Li Yan in anger. She hated Bei Li Yan who always looked at her with ridicule. She was used to people looking at her with admiration and awe, but Bei Li Yan looked at her like she was a joke. She turned her face away from Bei Li Yan to avoid looking at his mocking face.

Unbeknown to Huang Ni Yang, Zhao Li Xin had accumulated his Qi to his palm. He could have fried her to death if Huang Ni Yang touched him. Bei Li Yan had saved her life but she thought Bei Li Yan was meddling in her affairs. Zhao Li Xin retracted his Qi when Huang Ni Yang was pushed away from him. He interlocked his hand with Lory's as he calmed himself.

Jin Hao exhaled with relief at Bei Li Yan's actions as they knew what their lord planned. His lord's immortal flame was powerful but it lacked control, especially if Zhao Li Xin's mental condition was unstable. People claimed the Hei Shen Sect master was a brutal killer but the truth was he at times didn't mean to cause so much damage. The damage was usually caused when people pushed him too far. His anger from that would make him lose control of his powers.

Those who served Zhao Li Xin closely had strong protective amulets as a safeguard from his raging fire. The amulet gave them enough time to back off before they were burned to a crisp.

"Yang'er!" Huang Zi Feng and his subordinates ran towards them. The other sect also followed them. They had decided to stick to Huang Zi Feng sect despite not liking it as they knew they couldn't survive on their own.

"Brother!" Huang Ni Yang's face lit up as she ran into her brother's arms while crying miserably. Anyone who saw this would have thought Zhao Li Xin and his people bullied her. However, the other sect had already learned a brutal lesson and they no longer pitied her. Huang Zi Feng was the only one to act otherwise because he didn't like Zhao Li Xin's group.

"YOU! What did you do to my sister?" Huang Zi Feng yelled at Zhao Li Xin.

Zhao Li Xin was too lazy to respond to Huang Zi Feng's silly question. He placed his chin on top of Lory's head and inhaled her sweet scent. Jin Hao and Bei Li Yan also rolled their eyes and ignored him.

"We saved her!" Mong Ki threw a dead wolf's head at Huang Zi Feng in anger. Mong Ki wasn't the type to complain but he was fed up with the Huang siblings.

"Your sister lured the beast to us leaving us no choice but to save her," Mong Yi was also upset with Huang Zi Feng's accusations. He wondered why Huang Zi Feng pushed his luck when it was already a miracle he was still breathing.

"Brother, you are wrong. He saved me," Huang Ni Yang said once she stopped crying.

"Young master, I have yet to know your name. May I know the name of the person who saved me?" Huang Ni Yang asked shyly. Her eyes were glued to Zhao Li Xin as she tried to ignore Lory's presence yet Lory was a leaning pole for Zhao Li Xin.

"Mong Ki," Zhao Li Xin answered.

"Your name is Mong Ki?" Huang Ni Yang's eyes glittered as she smiled sweetly at Zhao Li Xin. She thought the name was weird for someone like him but his name didn't really matter to her. The fact that he revealed his name meant he didn't hate her as much as he acted. Her ego was inflated. It seemed like no one could refuse her charm. She thought of getting rid of the woman beside him after she married him.

"The one who saved you is called Mong Ki and the other is called Mong Yi," Zhao Li Xin lazily pointed at subordinates.

"What?" Huang Ni Yang's dream was crushed. She was stunned enough to freeze.

"I never told them to save you. They did it on their own," Zhao Li Xin said with indifference.

Mong Yi and Mong Ki sighed inwardly at Zhao Li Xin's words. They knew their lord would have killed then if the wolves reached Miss Luo.

Huang Zi Feng and Huang Ni Yang's faces turned red. She was embarrassed but her brother was angered. Huang Zi Feng felt Zhao Li Xin belittled them. He did not understand why Zhao Li Xin could not talk nicely to them he just flattered himself because Zhao Li Xin never thought nicely to anyone.

Huang Zi Feng balled his hands into fists. Blue veins pop out of his neck with anger, "My sister only asked your name. Why can't you answer nicely? Is it so hard for you to tell us your own name?"

Zhao Li Xin still looked indifferent. He gave a lazy answer, "Yes..."

"YOU…" Huang Zi Feng snapped. He was so angry that he couldn't talk. All he could do was to point at Zhao Li Xin. Huang Ni Yang was also humiliated. Her face turned red to white and back to red like a disco ball.

Lory would have felt bad for them if they were nice people. Their bad attitude tended to ask for a beating. The tension was broken when a loud howling sound vibrated on the cave's ceiling. Everyone simultaneously became vigilant.

They didn't understand why the Cimmerian wolves kept bothering them. The wolves were highly intelligent when compared to the other beasts. They weren't the type of beast that would keep attacking a person stronger than them.

"You! What exactly did you do to the cub?" Jin Hao glared at Huang Ni Yang. "Where is the cub?"

Huang Ni Yang fidgeted, "I… I didn't take the cub. The other wolves noticed me before I could take it."

"Why are you questioning my sister? Who do you think you are?" Huang Zi Feng berated Jin Hao.

"Idiot! Why would the wolves keep chasing her if she did not do anything to the cub? She must have done something worse than stealing the cub. That is the only reason the wolves would keep attacking her," Jin Hao scowled.

Huang Ni Yang bit her lower lip and turned white. She was agitated by everyone's look of accusation. Everyone came to Jin Hao's conclusion when they saw her reaction. She had incurred the wolves' wrath.

"Yang'er?" Huang Zi Feng glared at her. His sister always made trouble for him. He was losing face in front of the lowly people because of her. If the lowly people spread bad news to others, his father would punish him.

The wolf pack emerged behind the wall and stared viciously at Huang Ni Yang. The wolves bared their sharp fangs at all of them. The wolves no longer saw the difference between Huang Ni Yang and the others because they were in Huang Ni Yang's company. Anyone next to her was their target.

Huang Ni Yang panicked when the wolves' eye fixated on her. She became frantic, "I… It is not my fault… The damn cub bit me when I held it so…I accidentally slammed the cub to the ground."

"And the cub died? The wolves saw you kill their cub in cold blood?" Bei Li Yan stated the obvious.

Huang Ni Yang pursed her lips but did not answer. Bei Li Yan guessed right. She killed the cub. They all glared Huang Ni Yang with fury as they got to understand why the wolves were relentless in their hunt.

Huang Zi Feng also wanted to slap his sister. He would have killed his sister at her stupidity but held back because he did not want his parents to punish him for the crime.

"They're coming!" Lory warned.
