The Princess And The Lord

"WHAT KEY?" 

Lory awoke with her head on the floor and her legs on the bed, it seems she falls from her bed again. She blinks her eyes a few times while staring at the wooden beam on the roof.

[Morning!] Girsha greets her casually as he ignores Lory's strange position, he just way to use with her antics.

Lory lifts her head and there she found her best buddies eating grape without care. Slowly she pull her legs from the bed then she rose from the floor while rubbing the back of her head, she could feel a slight bump on the back of her head, what a nasty fall she got.

[What are you dreaming about?] Girsha finally found compassion to care for her although he will not expect a satisfying answer.

Lory frown as she tries to remember [I forgot….] she scratch her head confusedly.

'See, it is useless to ask her' Girsha roll his eyes.

[You scream about a key?] Girsha patiently reminds her.

[Oh, what key?] Lory raised her eyebrows.

[That��s should be my question!] The bird finally loses his cool.

Lory covers her ears with scowled [Alright-alight, don't scream in a morning...geez] she massaged her forehead, she doesn't know if the headache is because Girsha voice or because she falling from the bed perhaps is both.

Girsha grumbles in words that are not even her understand. Lory takes a sit on the stool, both her hand holds her head on the table with her two fingers massaged her temples. She tries to remember what is she dreaming about, she thought she remember her dream but when she wakes up she forgot everything, but she was sure it was something very important.

[I think a little boy told me to find a key?] Lory rests her head on her fist.

[A boy? Is it Fred?] Girsha asks.

[No…I think he has dark hair…] Lory pondering.

[Dark hair? Is it Lucas?] Girsha tilted his head.

[Then it should be me who scream at him not the other way around] Lory Give him the obvious stare.

Her good brother is one lazy bum, if not because he was taken care of with Clift, he might not even graduate from his school. Not because of his stupid on contrary Lucas is a genius, one look he can remember everything he has an eidetic memory. The problem is he was lazy as hell and didn't care for detail.

He would mess his schedule, forgot to read the question on the back of the paper test, missed his class because of sleeping and so much more. And make his behavior unacceptable is because his gift is controlling space and time it means he can teleport to anywhere with the exception he had been visiting the location before, and yet he still late.

[Yeah you right, it's supposed to be him who lost the key] Girsha can't agree more.

Lory chuckles [Yes, the dream supposed to be a boy questioning me 'Where's my Key']

[True, it's not Lucas than] Girsha firmly nod. Girsha remembers the day he met Lucas the first time at that time what coming through his head is 'Is that boy awake?' Lucas was stared at Girsha with a blank face and half-closed eyes.

[By the way, where is my husband?] Lory missed the handsome man who uses to staring at her weirdly when she was sleeping.

[He said he will cultivate a few days in his ring, he want to increased his cultivation] Girsha said.

[Aaw, he is such a hard worker, doesn't he?] Lory smiles proudly.

Girsha rolls his eyes 'If not because he worries for her, he will not work this hard'

That is true, Zhao Li Xin's personality is quite alike with Lucas, they are naturally lazy. The difference is Lucas still has a sense of duty and responsibility for his family and kingdom meanwhile, Zhao Li Xin has none. But both of them have similarities for being indifferent to fame and glory they also have little consideration with wealth. The reason for Zhao Li Xin and Lucas is so different because of their upbringing. 

Lucas was raised in a loving family, a wise father, multiple doting uncles, close brotherhood, and unshakable bond with his dear sister, while Zhao Li Xin was used to be neglect, tortured and forgotten by everyone around him, other than Mong Ki and Mong Yi that served her when he was eight or nine years old, he had nobody else.

Meeting with Lory has changed his perspective about life, his life becomes more than just killed and destroyed his enemy, his life is more than survival, this time he has someone to cherish, someone he loves, and most of all someone to protect. For the first time Zhao Li Xin realizes how small his power is, how helpless he was, he realizes there something he can't stop no matter how hard he tried, that's why he needs to be strong, he has to be the strongest so he can hold the sky and blocked the hurricane for her.

Inside the ring, a blazing flame twirl to the sky just like a tornado, the creature inside the rings run for their life they dig the ground and hide behind the boulder and tree is fright, on the cliff, a man with fiery red hair watched the flame calmly, his hand rest behind his back.

After the golden fire tornado dissipated then from the ocean white smoked raised to the sky, and everything covers with mist, from the ocean a man appears from the water completely naked, his wet black hair draped on his back. His eyes as cold as a glacier, he walks calmly to the shores, he took a clean robe on the boulder.

Huo long jumps down from the cliff and land smoothly in front of Zhao Li Xin "Congratulation for reaching the core staged of stage level" he smiles widely.

Zhao Li Xin tied his robes unhurried "Can this power kill the demon?" he asked.

Huo long sigh "No…" he sadly said.

"Then there's nothing to be happy about…" he brushes his with both his hand from top to the bottom then suddenly his hair dry.

"But you getting closer, so is wort to celebrate" Huo Long smiles at him.

Zhao Li Xin only glance a second at him without saying anything, he make a long leap to the top of the cliff, his body becomes even lighter as if the gravity can't hold him down anymore, he feel his heart grew in size because he feel so much vigor, his sense sensitivity increased tremendously, he can smell and see clearly than he ever be. He feel he becomes less human and more something else, but it's doesn't matter, if he was a mere human how could he match his divined princess.

Zhao Li Xin not only different from the inside but his appearance changed too just like a caterpillar out of its cocoon. The old scar on his body disappeared without a trace, his skin smooth as jade, his face featured become more distinctive, he becomes more alluring than before. If someone says Zhao Li Xin is the most handsome man in the whole continent nobody would dare to say otherwise even Hu Long was captivated by his look.

Zhao Li Xin stare back at him with a frown, Huo Long startled he awkwardly clear his throat "I think you need to wear a mask from now on or you will give troubles to the princess"

"What do you mean?" Zhao Li Xin lifts his chin.

"With your look, you will attract a lot of bees and flies, the princess might not blame you but I think she would be upset" Huo long already worry for Lory's future.

Zhao Li Xin scoffed "They are just Bee and flies so I treat them the same…"

"Huh?"

"When they got close, I crush them" he wickedly smiles as he clenched his fist.

"...."

Huo Long who never care about humankind's wellbeing suddenly feel worried if the female population would decrease when this boy got out.
