The Princess And The Lord

Lory leaves Ming Yue Yin alone, there something that only she could make decision and Lory didn't want to influence her with her oppinion. She follows the stone path that leads her to her courtyard, the smell of bamboo leaf and various flower three mixed in the air, the wind blow harder as a sign for the rain to come then slowly the rain drizzle hitting her head. 

Lory raised her hand and the raindrop on her palm, she quickened her pace to her room, luckily she manages to arrive at her room before the rain heavily. She immediately enters her room she walks to the furnace then wave her hand and the fire lit up magically, the warmth hit her face and she feel better immediately, she saw Girsha doze off in his magnificent bird house, smile bloom on her face.

Lory brews herself a warmed tea, although she is not an expert in brewing tea like Yang Xi Ying, Zhao Li Xin, and the others but she still able to make a decent tea, although there is a contrast difference because Lory likes to use a ceramic mug for herself when she was alone, no one use mug for a tea in this world so where Lory got it, of course, she got it from hao Li Xin, the man even made it himself for his beloved princess.

If only people know that one of the most talented armament masters in the world was reduced into a Potter. It was clear as day that there's no limit of how far Zhao Li Xin would pamper Lory, strangely, Lory was oblivious about this matter.

Lory sip her tea quietly, the room feel larger without Zhao Li Xin, she does feel lonely without him by her side but lory used to priority duty over personal gain so she never says anything about this not even to her friends. Lory is the type of person who 'work hard, play hard' 

she has a seat on the couch accompanied by the sound of pitter pater hitting the window and poured the roof like a serenade of steady drumming, Lory cover herself inside the knitted shawl while slowly sipping her warm tea. She looks blankly at the furnace in front of her, she replays the conversation she had beforehand.

"Change"

Of course, people would change, she know she changes a lot, she is not the same person as the Lorient of Harland, she also not the same person as the maid Luo Ri Yi, she changes so much for her need to survive – to protect her beloved one. Nothing is constant in living things we all evolve to be better, the change could be good or it could be bad in the end is inevitable.

Would Yuan Shao change in the future, of course, he will, is it good or bad? No one knows, she hopes Ming Yue Yin and Yuan Shao will find their way if not they must face heart breaking separation, Lory hopes they don't have to come that far.

[Lory, where's my grape?] Girsha suddenly lands on the table in front of her.

Lory raised her eyebrows, still, she took the grape from the table next to her then move it in front of the demanding bird. Girsha peck the grape with his pink beak. Notice her quiet he asked [What are you thinking about?]

[Nothing important….] she reply briefly.

Girsha didn't ask further, he continues pecking his grapes. Lory looks at the window then her eyebrows furrow [They still not return home yet….] she mutters while scratching her but discourteously.

[Who?] 

[I'm worried about my husband….] Lory said quietly.

[He is a strong cultivator, you don't need to be worry…]

[Hm, I know….but my left butt suddenly twitching] Lory pursed her mouth.

[Do you mean 'bad sign'? shouldn't be your left eye that twitching?] Girsha always feel speechless whenever he faces her antics, how come she become weirder when she got older.

Lory ignore his mocked, she put down her tea then raise from her couch, she looks at the window with a complex look, it would look like a suspense scene if only Lory stop scratching her butt [eyelids, butt, whatever…when my body part is twitching something is not right…] she said in certain.

[I think your head is not right….] Girsha sarcastically said.

Lory raised her index finger [Perhaps, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong, it's happened before you know, there was this woman try to seduce my Father, hump…that damn vixen!] she scoffed just from recalled her memory.

Girsha roll his eyes tiredly [You and your 'father con' huh] 

[Hmm, but my guts never wrong...maybe…] she squints her eyes dangerously while massaged her twitching butt.

Zhao Li Xin was rest in his room, for three days he's been investigated the celestial Immortal sect and their connection to the Sanguan family, Zi family is the founder of the Celestial immortal sect and her elder sister name is Zi Quan Mei is known as the peerless genius in her generation, they say she is a genius woman who only born one in a hundred years. 

She is the pride of the Zi family, at the age of twenty-two, she becomes a celestial immortal sect master and she becomes the youngest sect master in the continent. Under her iron leadership, The celestial Immortal was flourish and become the strongest sect on the whole continent, ever since then many people fighting to gain her favor including Sanguan Jin Sheng.

Thankfully, Zi Quan Mei's younger sister is head over heels with Sanguan Jin sheng and she persistent to be married to sanguan Jin Sheng. With Celestial immortal reputation, no man would refuse to have a connection with them especially an ambitious man like Sanguna Jin Sheng and that's how they end up getting married.

The rumor said Zi Quan Mei is almost breakthrough to the sage level after years of close door training, she might become a sage cultivator when she got out of her close door training. Zhao Li Xin smirk, it's hard for him to find an equal opponent. Zhao Li Xin hopes this old woman will not disappoint him after all he needs a catalyst to increased his stage.

Zhao Li Xin also curious how much Zi Quan Mei involved in her mother's death and his situation, whatever it is she will make anyone involved with his past paid their debt bit by bit.

"Excuse me Milord" Mong Liu knocked on his door.

"Hm…" he replies vaguely.

"Miss Bai is asking permission to meet," said Mong Liu nervously. He knew Zhao Li Xin has a psychological rejection rewards women or at least that's how master Jin Hao describes it, that's why all his close subordinate is men, maybe that's the only unfair treatment at the Hei Shen Sect because no matter how great you are if you are women you still unable to served Zhao Li Xin personally like Jin Hao and the others.

Zhao Li Xin's eyebrows knitted closely "What does she want?"

"She wants to deliver Pork bone soup, Milord" Mong Liu said in front of the closed-door waiting for Zhao Li Xin to gives his order, but he already could guest his order would be. Other than madam his Lord never show his kindness to other women even to Empress Ming and miss Yang he treated them cordially because they are madam's best friends.

Suddenly something unexpected happened, Zhao Li Xin raised his voice and said "Let her in!"

Mong Liu thought he heard it wrong so he asked again "Let Miss Bai Xue enter, Milord?" he emphasizes Bai Xue's name just to be curtained.

"I'll meet her in the garden" he responded firmly..

"Oh,ri…right away milord!" Mong Liu was stuttered he didn't know why his Lord change his heart, is he forget about the young madam? Is he bored with young madam and search for another beauty….that doesn't seem, right? Mong Liu's imagination runs wild when he collects himself he already in front of Bai Xue and his personal maidservant helps him to carry the bowl of soup for her.

Bai Xue's exquisite face brightens up, she smiles beautifully like a fresh blooming flower, is impossible for a man not to be move. Mong Liu startled a little but then he composes himself "Please follow me miss Bai" he bowed his head courteously then make a polite hand gesture to follow him.

Bai Xue didn’’t hide her relief and excited expression, she feel worried because Zhao Li Xin cold attitude he would not allow her to come, thankfully the man is not that heartless. Sanguan Jin Sheng was subtly reminded her to get close to Zhao Li Xin, he wants to know if she is able to gain his affection, it seems Sanguan Jin Sheng is still persisted to gain Zhao Li Xin trust, Bai Xue couldn't understand why is it because fatherly feeling or it's something else for all she know Sanguan Jin sheng is never a sentimental man.

Whatever sanguan Jin Sheng reason is she also adamant to make Zhao Li Xin like her, he might not as strong as Sanguan Jin sheng and his family background also not good as him, but Zhao Li Xin exceptional beauty cover all his flaw, she like his face very much and his cold personality only make her more eager, she want to conquer that man.
