The Princess And The Lord

Lory squat down in front of the once-promising young man in front of her, despite his behavior Yang Qiong Yan is one of the talented men in the country he also very young only mid-twenty obviously he still has a long life ahead of him, unfortunately, he crossed with Lao Min Na and….Lazarus.

Lory takes a deep breath as remorse and guilt built inside him, but she can't undo her mistakes she can only take responsibility.

"I'm sorry….." she lowers her head and whispers.

[Lory over here!] Girsha shouted again.

Lory sigh and shouted back at him [I'm coming!] she raised from the ground then take a long stride toward Girsha. Girsha's voice leads her to one of the giant cages, she squints her eyes and sees a giant furry beast inside the cage, she looks at the other cages and realizes the cage are contained with weird corpses.

'What is this place?' she baffled.

"What is that, is it a beast?" Lory subconsciously reaches the steel rails.

[STOP!] Girsha suddenly pull her back collar and Lory staggered backward 

Suddenly tentacles came out of nowhere and strike towards her, the rails block most of the tentacles but one slip from the rail and reach Lory's face, a cold wind startled her and the tentacle is cut cleanly right in front of her face, turn out it was Mong Yi who cut the tentacles swiftly.

The beast retracts its tentacles and shriek in pain. Lory and the others were stunned not only because the beast attacks them but because of the beast appearance, it got wrinkled skin like a Lizard with the color of mud, the face is like a wild boar, the body is fat and muscular like bison, it also has short but sturdy four legs and what make it weirder it also has six sharp tentacles as it tails.

Lory's eyes bulged widely "Did any of you know what is that thing?"

"Is like a wild boar, with the bear body, and octopus legs!" Ming Yue Yin gasped as she blurted out her thought then her face turns to disgusted "It messed up!"

"Not to mention this creature dripping with dark miasma…" Lory looks at the beast with a peculiar look.

"Lory, do you know what it is?" Li Mo Zhen was also struggling to calm himself, he ner saw or heard any beast like this in his entire life.

Lory shook her head "No, I never seen anything like this….and trust me I've seen a lot" she presses her lips into a thin line anxiously.

The Beast roar and hitting the steel cage in frenzy, the beast seems mad, Lory didn't flinch she turn her gaze to Mong Yi "Have you seen any beast like this before?"

Mong Yi shakes his head "Never!"

Lory turns her gaze to Ming Yue Yin and she shakes her head too "Me neither…"

"I never see it either…" Yang Xi Ying chimed in.

Li Mo Zhen tilts his head "Could it be...its a crossbreed?" he said in doubt, he had read a book about it but it's only a myth so he never truly believe it but ever since he knows Lory the line between myth and fact has become blurry.

"WHAT?" 

They look at Li Mo Zhen simultaneously, shocked and fear apparent in their eyes then they look a the beast again, suddenly Li Mo Zhen suspicion didn't sound crazy anymore.

"Is that even possible?" Yang Xi Ying still in doubt.

"It's possible in my world but the success rate was low, and no one is that crazy…..well, not that I know of" Lory mumble while scratching her cheeks as she pondering "I don't think it would be possible to do it here, I'm sorry I don't mean to underestimated your people knowledged but…it take a high tech technology and countless human resources with great knowledge about science magic and Beast to pull this off"

"What about one strong ancient Demon" Girsha suddenly speak in the local language so everyone could understand.

"Lazarus…" Lory gritted her teeth, she still not convinced if that possible since the hybrid between animals is not something that could easily, she's not a scientist but she knew how hard is to combined multiple genes into one then created a new species, however, she never knew how strong Lazarus was since they never actually fought at each other.

The Beast keeps hitting the steel rails in madness, the beast rampage make the rails staggers and debris falling from the cave ceiling. They become vigilant since they feel the cage would not hold the beast any longer. Lory takes out the bow from her spatial ring, she releases mana with other hands as she created a wind arrow.

"Well, first thing first...." she pull the bowstring "Let's kill the bastard first" she grinned, then everyone simultaneously takes out their weapon.

The beast could feel the killing intent it make an ear-shattering roar and bears its sharp teeth, but no one looks afraid instead they make a fighting stance ready for rumbles.

Lory stretch the string to her ear, the arrow in her hands was transparent and intangible but they could feel a power accumulated on ger hands, Lory smirk "Let me do the cleaning first" she has to draw the dark miasma from the beast body, a second later she released her hands and the arrow shot out like a bullet then hit precisely between the beast eyes and the creature throwback.

From the beast wound suddenly a dark smoke emitted and the beast eyes turn to red, Lory then warn the Su sister "I haven't given you protective amulet so stay out of it, don't get close"

The Su sisters were reluctant because their job is protecting the Empress however they knew Lory warned them for their own good at the same time not create more trouble for her, after all, they never face anything like demon and magic before.

"Stay here, this empress never killed anything like this before" she draws her sword while grin ear to ear obviously she's too excited "Let me have some fun…~" she smiles like a villainess.

Lory rolls her eyes "Remember, safety still the priority…..do you hear me?" Lory warned the excited 'brat' impatiently.

"I don't think she listens to you" Yang Xi Ying laugh.

Lory's mouth twitches "Yeah, I know…."

Mong Yi destroys the cage rails in one swing of his swords, deliberately released the beast "Madam, shall we?"

"We shall~"

Then all of them strike the beast at the same time.

'CRASH!'

Zhao Li Xin squints his eyes, this is the first time that the winecup slip through his finger after so many years, his heart suddenly throb as if something bad is happening, Lory's beautiful face flash in his mind. His gorgeous, kind, and gentle princess…..his reckless and trouble magnet princess…something is happening!

Zhao Li Xin's faces turn black as charcoal, he knew that from all of her great ability being a trouble magnet is one thing that stands out the most. 

The door was suddenly knocked from the outside "Milord, do you need help?" Mong Liu heard the sounds of shattered glass, which is odd so he got anxious a little bit.

"Enter" Zhao Li Xin he commands his subordinates shortly.

Mong Liu enters quietly, he looks at Zhao Li Xin nervously. He had been served this great demon lord for weeks but he still not used to him, what make him anxious is because he can't read his expression, is he dissatisfied, angry, annoyed, or happy, well happy is more unlikely thoug.

Zhao Li Xin has minimal expression, there is a slight change in his eyes when his angry but it's so faint Mong Liu could never be sure, what make him even more surprised is when Mong Yi said that the Lord temperament is so much better now compare a years ago before he met young Madam, Mong Liu never served Zhao Li Xin personally like Mong Ki and Mong Yi, his job is to gather information and spy the enemy so this is a new experience and he hopes this experience will be over soon…..The Lord is to scary.

"Yes, milord" he cupped his fist courteously.

The air inside the room is a bit heavy which means something is bothering him, at this time Mong Liu's anxiety increased instantly.

"Any news about my wife?" he said in a monotone voice.

"The housekeeper said, young madam is meeting with madam and master Li, he said it was an urgent matter" Mong Liu blurted everything he knows.

"What matters?" Zhao Li Xin's expression hardens.

"The Housekeeper said the Li's couple encounters a weird beast in the forest and they needs Young madam assistance immediately, so young madam came with Empress Ming, her subordinates, and Mong Yi also follow" 

Zhao Li Xin feel a slight relief, at least she's not come alone, but he curious what The Li couple find that would need Lory to check, if it's involved Lory then it must be something involved Lazarus. Zhao Li Xin got worried again, he would never be at ease if he was not there personally perhaps he can sneak out for a minute.

Just when he considered his plan another servant knocked on his door. Zhao Li Xin annoyed but he remembers what his purpose in here so he swallowed down his annoyance then change his body language to less intimidating. Mong Liu open the door and the young servants told him that old master sanguan wanted to meet Zhao Li Xin,
