The Princess And The Lord

Lory then takes a nap in the other room after she has her fill, she was tired from all the excitement before, Zhao Li Xin tugs her to the bed and leaving only after he sure the princess sleeping soundly. Girsha also rests next to Lory, with the bird next to his Princess he feel more relaxed.

In the other room, Zhao Li Xin has a meeting with Mong Ki, Mong Yi, and Mong Gi, it's time for them to report their duty. The great Lord have a sit on the big dark chair behind the black wooden table. He crosses his leg comfortably then clasped his hand on his stomach, his expression is cold and indifferent, the gentleness and flirtatious on his face disappeared the moment Lory wasn't there.

"Milord, I already put a thousand ants poison on Nan yu Qi face, it would take at least two weeks to eased the poison and one month for complete recovery" Mong Yi announces proudly.

When he heard what Nan Yu Qi had done to lory Mong Yi was enraged and he volunteered to handle the task. Because of Mong Yi, the protective array and dozen of bodyguards that protect the Nan manner deemed to be useless. He easily sneaks in then drip Nan Yu Qi's face with the Thousand ant powder while she was sleeping.

Zhao Li Xin answers his report with a slight nod, meaning he is satisfied with Mong Yi's job.

Then it Mong Gi turn "Milord, Thankfully Master Xie gives us the enormous building we need to add more people, I send the request to Xie Hua Ling after I submit the restaurant profit last month and he happily approved our request so tomorrow more our people will come including Master Bei and master Jin," he said with blatant ridiculed to Xie Hua Ling greediness.

Once again Zhao Li Xin nods, for people who didn't know Zhao Li Xin they would think Zhao Li Xin is uninterested to the progress but for his close subordinated that is Zhao Li Xin 'satisfied' face.

This time is Mong Ki turn "Milord, about the history of the noble family of Sacred Mountain peak, I only have a little information. It said this mountain once the lair of very powerful Beast, the beast dwells in this mountain for thousands of years then the predecessor of Xie, Chen, Nan, and Mo killed the Beast and take over the mountain ever since. They make the Xie the leader because he is the strongest among them then the other become noble family at the sacred mountain peak"

Zhao Li Xin face remains indifferent "Lory said something about the key, that woman also said something about a creature inside this mountain, my guessed is the Beast in the story probably not dead or perhaps it's something to do with the Mystical beast and the key should guide us to where is this Beast is," he said in monotone voice sound like he mutters to himself but alas his subordinated still listening to him diligently.

"Investigated everything about the key…" he lazily orders his subordinate. some people who saw his face would be mistaken doe Zhao li Xin being indifferent but that's is his 'impatient' face.

Of course, the shadow guard knew their Lord very well so they immediately answer "Yes, milord!" 

"Oh, and this commotion….spread the news that myself and my wife are badly hurt, my wife would recuperate at Fu Yun and after she healed she would work in her" Zhao Li Xin said with half doze eyes, he obviously doesn't take this matter seriously.

"Yes, Milord!" Mong Ki bows his head showing that he will be the one who takes responsibility for this matter.

Zhao Li Xin waves his hand to sign them to leave. The Three subordinated leave the room without waiting for another second. Zhao Li Xin left alone in the room, he gazes to the window beside him the light from the window cast the shadow on his perfect carved face. his eyes staring coldly to the view outside the window, he pondering for his next moves. The Demon, the God, The elusive sword and now the mystical Beast, is like he walking inside the fairy tales. 

In fairy tales the story always starts with the meeting of a young man and a beautiful woman in the strange place, well he does meet...wait..save by the beautiful princess in a forest and just like every story he heads over heels with her, he doesn't even have to try. Falling for her is like gravity it's so natural is like breathing….like it was meant to be.

The truth is he doesn't remember the life before he met Lory, his past is a little bit hazy is like he sleepwalking, he saw them but can't feel them only after he met her he suddenly awake and everything becomes bright and colorful, is like he had been waiting for her whole his life. Everything he has done, everything he works so hard for, it's lead him to her…is it coincidence or is it predestined?

Zhao Li Xin sigh, he rose from his seat he left the room then walk to the bedroom not far from him, carefully he opens the door. He approaches the bed quietly then he lifts the curtain. The woman sleeps peacefully although her sleep style is a mess. Blanket only covers to her waist, she hugs the pillow, the sheet wrinkles because her too much moves in her sleep, she can't even sleep calmly.

He takes a seat at the bedside. He pulls the blanket to cover her shoulder, he fixed her hair, she flinches slightly when his hand grazes her cheek and he paused his moves until she relaxed again. 

It doesn't matter what God's plan or what the Demon wants, the only thing matter is her. God or demon he would kill them all, no one can't take her away from him.

"Sleep well princess" he kisses her forehead gently while the princess gracefully snore…

The story goes Zhao Li Xin courtyard is under attack by a mysterious person then he and his wife run for their life, he able tp preserved his life but he and his wife are badly hurt, they are fortunately found by a physician who is looking for medicine plant on the woods and so the good physician takes care the husband and wife.

Because he doesn't know who hurt him he doesn't dare to return to his courtyard or report to anyone then he was brought to Fu Yun restaurant because his family is the co-owner of the restaurant so it's normal for him to recuperated there, only after two days his condition improving he dare to inform the member disciple of sacred Mountain peak.

Zhao Li Xin who is proficient for acting hurt had no problem resuming his act. He also used a pill to make his face pale and amulet to drop his cultivation further and weaken his heart pulse, overall he looks like someone who is badly hurt.

Because Nan yu Qi situation the one that summoned Zhao Li Xin from Fu Yun restaurant is Xie Hua Ling, the one who came to fetch Zhao Li Xin is one of Xie Hua Ling right-hand man, the man is arrogant and rude as Xie Hua Ling close subordinated no one dares to provoke him but instead fawn him to get Xie Hua Ling good side so when this man sent to fetch a new guy like Zhao Li Xin he is utterly displeased.

When he came to fu Yun restaurant he throwing his tantrum "Wher is this Lu Xin, how dare he make me waiting, tell him to come right away!" he hit the chair next to him violently.

All the guessed who was in the middle of their meal frown but when they saw who's the man is no one dare to utter a sound but it's not the same for Hei Shen people who was in disguised as servants, chef, and clerk. When they heard someone berated their Lord the murderous intent rose from each of them, every single one of them glared at the stupid man who chides Zhao Li Xin.

The stupid man didn't realize that his faith was sealed at that moment, still, he raised his chin arrogantly "What, what are you looking at, you dare to challenge me, don't you know who is my master is!"

Mong Gi who witness the insolent behavior of this stupid man was struggling to hold his rage. This is not the right time to kill this trash so he approaches the arrogant man with a jar of wine "Honorable young master please wait, master Lu will come down soo" he smiles politely then pour a cup of wine for him.

The stupid man raised his leg on the chair, he let Mong gi served him like lowly servants "What a weak man, if he is not strong enough he shouldn't serve my master, I heard he used his good look to charmed Miss Nan Yu Qi, dream on!" he scoffed in disdain, he is jealous because Zhao Li Xin got Nan Yu Qi attention in a short time.

"Miss Nan already have fiance like Master Xie, why would she pay attention to a lowly man like him, this Lu Xin is flattered himself" he finish the whole bowl of wine in one gulp.

The whole Hei Shen members stare at the stupid man they imprint the stupid man face in their mind just in case.

On the upstairs Lory is already awaked from her long nap, she help Zhao Li Xin to put another shapeshifter spell on his wrist then she helps him to wear his uniform. Lory stares at Zhao Li Xin sickly face and giggles "Why are you always pretend to be weak, I think you are addicted to aced as weakling" she teased him.

"Aren't you addicted to acted as a maid too" he poked her nose.

Lory's nose twitches but she not refuted.

"When I'm gone you should promise me.."

Lory cut his words "I will not going anywhere, I will eat and sleep at my room until my good Lord returns" she bows her head like an obedient noble lady.

Zhao Li Xin amused then he flicked her forehead lightly "I'm serious!" he sternly said but his gentle gaze betrays his action.

Lory pursed her lips as she raised his palm "I promise!"

Zhao Li Xin narrows his eyes seemingly doubtful but what can he do? he gives a small peck on her forehead "I'm going then, remember your promise!" he repeated before he opens the door.

"Okay – okay" Lory roll her eyes at him "Go now, but stay away from Nan Yu Qi!" she reminds him before he closes the door. Lory could hear his small laughter. Lory pouts because she doesn't hear Zhao Li Xin's reply. Of course, he would laugh from her warning with Nan Yu Qi's situation right now Zhao Li Xin assured she would avoid him like a plague because of her ugly face.
