The Princess And The Lord

"Li Xin?!" Lory was shocked, she didn't expect him to come so soon, does that mean Wei Zu Tian is dead, well that's good news. Lory did not have the slightest mercy for someone like Wei Zu Tian.

But Lory was more concerned with Zhao Li Xin's tense face. Lory knew right away she was in bigger trouble. Meanwhile, Zhao Li Xin didn't make a sound, he was actually still trying to control his shock when he saw Lory fall from the sky and seemed unable to control her movements, even though Zhao Li Xin knew Lory wouldn't die from the fall but she would still be seriously injured and even with the gifts she had, Lory would still feel the excruciating pain.

Zhao Li Xin landed on the ground but he didn't put Lory down and Lory could only raise her eyebrows but swallowed her words knowing it wasn't the time to complain other than she does feel very weak right now.

Zhao Li Xin fixed his eyes at Girsha and the Giant Seahorse who were fighting the black snake that was emitting black smoke, the scene reminded him of the myth of the battle between Gods that he used to imagine in the books and stories.

Lory also saw this, she realized that she couldn't let the Seahorse stay any longer because the celestial beings could only stay in the mortal worlds for a brief moment before they received repercussions from entering the mortal worlds.

Lory closed her eyes and then took a deep breath, her lips moving up and down as she chanted another spell before letting out a long sigh, and then the gray clouds gradually dissipated, the sun slowly coming from it hiding and grace its brilliant light at the same time. The seahorse's body gradually became transparent before completely disappearing in thin air.

Girsha let out a deafening sound that echoed to every corner of the Heaven Gate region as a sign of respect for the departing celestial being who was the messenger of God and soon after Girsha also turned into a ball of orbs and left.

"Is the Seahorse got something to do with you?" Zhao Li Xin looked at Lory in obvious surprise.

A smile spread across Lory's pale face even her normally bright lip has lost it color. Zhao Li Xin knew that Lory's condition was bad.

Every great power has a consequence, the stronger the power the bigger the consequences and Lory understands that because the first thing her dad taught her and Lucas was that the power they have is not a simple handout there are consequences every time you wield it, the more power you use the higher the price you have to pay and sometimes you have to pay with your life.

"I'm fine Li Xin" Lory comforted him in a soft voice, she felt bad for always worrying him.

Zhao Li Xin let out a resigned sigh, what else could he say who told him to fall in love with a fearless woman like her

Lory's nose twitched then made a mischievous smile "That's not my style"

Zhao Li Xin was silent, yes, this is his destiny.

"Theodient's favorite pet, they say the pet character will mimic their owner character no wonder the Seahorse was arrogant, prideful and cruel..." a cold icy voice suddenly heard that immediately alerted Lory and Zhao Li Xin, turns out the voice came from Lazarus but the demon himself didn't seem to care about Lory and Zhao Li Xin presence.

Lazarus walks casually with his eyes fixed on the direction where the seahorse had disappeared while his face tightens with a contemplative look not long after his lips curved into a sinister smile "Gods... how I hate them all..." Lazarus scoffed. There was a bitter resentment in Lazarus' voice which surprised Lory because Lazarus rarely showed his true emotions.

Lory's brows furrowed slightly, people thought it was natural for Gods and Demons to hate each other but in reality, Gods and Demon rarely have conflicts, especially after Gods and Demon stopped directly fighting over the worlds, so what caused Lazarus' deep hatred?

'Find his real name!' Lory suddenly remembered the message from the mysterious boy who turned out to be the Gate master of the Oblivion.

If the boy told her to find out about Lazarus, could there be any clue about Lazarus in this world? but why and how it happened Lory doesn't know but if it exists then she needs to find out.

"Don't you hate them Princess" Lazarus suddenly asked.

"Who?" Lory look at Lazarus with an unsure expression "You mean the Gods?"

Lazarus shrug and his gaze away from her "Don't you blame God for the cruel fate of your brother, the dead of your mother and father, the ruined of your kingdom...the cursed befall you" he looks at Lory with those snake yellow eyes.

Lory's expression hardened, of course, there were times when she blamed God for her family's misfortune, but Lory also realized that it was their decision that also brought them into this situation.

It was the decisions made by her father, mother, Lucas, and also hers, in the end, they were all responsible for everything they did whether they liked it or not so how could she blame everything on God when she herself purposely made a pact with Lazarus, the truth is, if Lucas and the others knew what she was going to do, they would definitely try to stop her.

Seeing Lory's expression Lazarus could guess what she was thinking and it didn't surprise him, she is a Lucient so it's not easy to manipulate even Lazarus considers Lory to be the most difficult human to control, it seems her father has taught her well.

A sinister smile slowly spread across Lazarus's face. "Ha, you all Lucient are the same..." he lower his gaze and muttered to himself.

"What do you want snake… besides my soul?" Lory was purposely helping.

Lazarus tilted his head and then glanced at Zhao Li Xin's stiff face. Zhao Li Xin subconsciously tightened his embrace on Lory as if he was afraid that Lazarus would snatch her from his hands and her expression gradually darkened like charcoal "I will never let you have her"

Lazarus smiled wryly then they heard the sound of soft footsteps then Lao Min Na seemed to be limping with a face that was paler than Lory it seem her injury was more severe than Lory.

Lory and Zhao Li Xin stared at Lao Min Na's arrival but Lao Min Na seemed to ignore their gazes, she then walked towards Lazarus but didn't say anything to her, just standing behind Lazarus like a good servant.

"Looks like this is the end of our conversation" Lazarus sighed as if he felt reluctant.

"Are you just going to leave?" Zhao Li Xin's gaze was challenging.

Lazarus shifts his eyes at Zhao Li Xin and he stares at him for a few seconds before he speaks again "You are not ready yet boy"

"Don't call me 'boy'!" Zhao Li Xin was annoyed that Lazarus spoke to him like Huo Long.

Lazarus laughed while sneering "We will meet again 'Boy' after all, we all after the same thing..." Lazarus turned then casually left with Lao Min Na but suddenly he stopped his steps and turned his body then he looked deeply at Lory almost sincere "About your question Princess, all I want is always the same, from beginning to end I only want one thing...but the Gods won't let me and fate have forsaken me, therefore, I will destroy this world until I get what I want" Lazarus' eyes were as cold as steel, he then turned again and left while Lory watched his back get further away.

Zhao Li Xin still carried Lory without showing any desire to put her down because Lazarus' presence made him uneasy.

Girsha appeared next to Lory, bird green eyes glinting with murderous intent as he watched where Lazarus went. Lory's memory might be hazy because she was under Lazarus' influence but Girsha remembers, especially after most of his powers returned since then the memories have become clearer despite him being unconscious during that time, however, Girsha never brings up the conversation to Lory because he wants to avoid as much as he could to remember the scene when Lory slowly fades away, meanwhile, there's little he can do to help her.

Girsha remembers all the frantic screams, the heart-wrenching cry, and the quiet muttering Lory said during her madness. Therefore Girsha's hatred towards Lazarus is deeper than the ocean and wider than the sky.

[Am I crazy to think he's trying to say something?] Lory glanced at Girsha.

Girsha shook her head [Careful, it could be a trap] Girsha knew how manipulative and cunning Lazarus was so it was hard for him to believe that Demon's words.

[I know, I can't shake it. feels there is another meaning in his words] Lory doesn't doubt Girsha's words considering how Lazarus's character is not impossible he is trying to manipulate but his hunch is telling her that Lazarus is trying to convey something.

"The road to Yin Shan mountain has opened, now is the time to take the sword" Zhao Li Cin suddenly insert into their conversation even though he doesn't know what they talking about but Zhao Li Xin could guess it must be about Lazarus's words before.

Lory and Girsha looked at each other for a second then they simultaneously cast their eyes at the Yin Shan mountain, the thin grey smoke coming out of the mountain indicated the mountain was reactivated as if giving them a warning.
