The night came like a dark velvet blanket sprinkles by glitters, the moon hides behind the grey cloud leaving only faint light as the shadow got thicker, Zhuang Mu Zi pull his blanket to his chest when the air get colder but when he think again his room is always cold even though Yu Qin light the furnaces, he try remember since when his room become like this? Is it since he become crippled….or is it since Lao Min Na enter his room to take care of him? That impossible!
Zhuang Mu Zi awaked from his restless dream, he stare at the ceiling with blank expression, his forehead drenched with cold sweat, he rubbed his eyes exasperatedly, lately is getting hard for him to sleep it would be amazing if he could sleep at least for two hours undisturbed.
His cultivation has decreased from King to knight level and combined with his sickness Zhuang Mu Zi is not so different with normal people who need three times meals and minimum six hours sleep to make his body function normally, so right now his body feel lethargic and a bit hazy from the lack of sleep.
Suddenly he feel other people's presence inside his room, his heart beating like a drum as the adrenaline rush to his head, for anyone visit his room late at night without permission they must be aimed his life, even though he is weak now but he will not give his life without a fight. He pulls a dagger under his pillow then swiftly lifts his bed curtain "Who dare came to my room?!" he crosses the dagger right in front of his chest as he prepare for the surprise attack.
Then what came to him is not a surprise attack but nonetheless she does feel surprised.
Lory raised her hand slowly then she awkwardly waves her hand with dry smiles on her face
"Hellooo~"

"Why all of you coming? This is not good, we will going to scare him like this…" Lory complains to the four additional people in front of her.
"You will not go anywhere without me," Zhao Li Xin said firmly.
'I know you gonna say that' Lory can only pout, but she expected this but the other guy….why the hell he join anyway, this is not a picnic!
"I came here to support, I know how it feel under the cursed" Li Mo Zhen say righteously.
"Don't you just curious~" Yang Xi Ying nudged her husband coquettishly.
"Xi Ying…"Lory reprimand Yang Xi Ying who also came without invited "Why you here too?"
"What? I also came here to support you" she puffs her cheeks like a cute angry girlfriend.
'Tsk, you lucky you are cute' Lory squint her eyes towards Yang Xi Ying's endearing face.
Then she shifts her glances to a man who is wearing luxurious red robes, someone not even bothers to dress appropriately "And you, what you excused?" this time she chides Bei Li Yan.
Bei Li Yan smiles coyly "I got nothing to do…"
Lory squint her eyes further 'At least his honest'
Girsha came then perched on Lory's shoulder he stares at the bunch of noisy people who don't even bother to dress in incognito except Zhao Li Xin, but that's probably because he had no other colors in his wardrobe. Lory said she would only bring Jin Hao and perhaps Zhao Li Xin because she sure she would insist to tag along but why the crew is multiply.
[Is like a picnic…] he teased through telepathic connection.
[That's what I said!] Lory whined.
[You know it reminds me of the celebrity surprised visit we used to watch on tv] Girsha tilts his little head.
[Yeah, I know that show, the celebrity didn't look happy though…] Lory recalled the celebrity stiffed smiles when the camera captured their bare face.
[And so is the Zhuang guy….] Girsha snickered
Lory clicks her tongue in annoyance while facing the unwanted guest.

When Zhuang Mu Zi lift the curtain he saw four people sit on the small round table near his bed, while one man with white robes stands beside next to the beautiful lady with gentle expression, then the other man who also wear a white robe with pale skin and snowy white hair sits comfortably while fanning himself with indifference looks, next to him a man fiery red robes with enchanting smiles stand next to a man with black robe he can't see his face because the man wearing a mask then the man with red robes pour a glass of wine for the black robe man as if this is their room, then Zhuang Mu Zi unconsciously darted his gaze from the man face to his chest as he was curious with the red robe man gender.
Is the situation not weird enough there's a bird on the table eating grapes without care, what came to Zhuang Mu Zi mind is
'I don't know I have grapes?'
Lory feel guilty for trespassing in the middle of the night and she brings a bunch of rude people with her, why they are eating and drinking without the host permission?
"I'm sorry we coming like this, but we don't mean no harm" Lory forces her smiles to ease the tension.
Zhuang Mu Zi staring back at Lory with doubt expression.
"I can promise you I'm not lying" Lory feel anxious she nudged Zhao Li Xin with her elbow seeking for help.
Zhao Li Xin who is leisurely drinking his wine as if he was in his own bedroom, put down the wake up gently without making a sound, he wants to help Lory but he never learned to comfort other people than Lory so he says: "If I want you to die you will not have a chance to wake up" he raised his chin arrogantly.
Zhuang Mu Zi's forehead creased further, while Lory massaged her temples tiredly 'My bad…' she sighed.
"My name is Luo Ri Yi, the scary guy next to me is my husband Zhao Li Xin, the guy with white hair is Jin Hao, the beautiful lady is my friend Yang Xi Ying the gentleman next to her is her husband Li Mo Zhen and this guy who make you question his gender is Bei Li Yan….oh and this rude bird is my friend Girsha, we came here because Yu Qin your good servant asked for our help.
Zhuang Mu Zi frown "Yu Qin…my timid, scaredy-cat Yu Qin?" he can't believe it.
"Hey, that's rude…! but yeah, that Yu Qin!" Lory nods.
"Wait, Jin Hao, Bei Li Yan…..Zhao Li Xin, is that mean he is Long Ming!!" Zhuang Mu Zi flabbergasted.
"Yeah!" Lory exclaimed excitedly.
"...." Zhuang Mu Zi look at the weird guest in front of him with silent, then suddenly he lowers his dagger then he lay down and pull his blanket to his chest as he searches for a comfortable position then he closes his eyes and mutters to himself "My sickness is getting worst I start having a weird dream…"
"....."
"....."
"....."
"....."
"....."
[Lory, I finish my grapes…]
