Chapter 109 - A Drunk Li Ming - Part One

The four Immortals were crowding inside an enormous beautifully decorated bed-chamber.

The silvery-white drapes fluttered in the cool night breeze, jingling the bells that were hanging on the windows. The melodious sound healing as it took away the tension out of the body and helped in relaxing.

But unfortunately, it could not relax the four Immortal Lords that were panicking as they couldn't take down the power barrier that had separated them from Li Ming.

The moment Hei Long appeared in front of the Moon Manor, Lord Yueliang immediately directed him towards the guest bed-chamber. He softly laid her on the bed and made sure that she was comfortable.

Li Ming was looking pale and her body temperature started decreasing. But before either Hei Long or Lord Yueliang could do anything, a powerful force pushed both of them away from the girl.

And the next moment a power shield surrounded the bed on which Li Ming was currently lying unconscious.

Both Ruoshan and Zhang Yong also appeared in the room and were greeted by this sight. As one by one, the others tried to lower the power shield, Hei Long also helped.

He had no idea exactly what he was doing. He saved the same girl whom he wanted to destroy. He was even worried about her and now rather than stopping his brothers, he was also anxiously trying to break the power shield that was separating the lilac girl from him.

Before any of them could attack the power shield, Lord Yueliang stopped them. 

When everyone turned towards the Moon Deity with confused eyes, he explained in a low tone, like he was afraid of disturbing the sleeping girl.

"The barrier is protecting her. She's healing." 

His words made the others looked at Li Ming and to their surprise, they watched as the color returned to her cheeks and the last remnant of the black power around her finally disappeared.

Within the next ten minutes, the power shield disappeared on its own, finally letting the four Immortal get closer to Li Ming who was still sleeping.

Looking at her sleeping form the four of them finally relaxed. Lord Yueliang still checked her pulse to make sure that she was completely fine.

"Thank you so much for saving her," Ruoshan suddenly said as his eyes settled on his younger brother.

The other two also turned towards Hei Long with the slightest glints in their eyes. No matter what was the reason for Hei Long to not recognize his chosen one immediately but his soul was still able to move when she's in danger. That's a good thing for all of them. It meant that there was hope for him, for them.

He Long was taken back by Ruoshan's sudden words. He closed his eyes for a second and took a deep breath and when he again opened his eyes, all the worries and panic that he was feeling disappeared.

His face was once again turned cold and his eyes lacked any kind of emotions. "I just felt you all panicking and just helped you. There's no need to thank me. Moreover, just because I have helped to save her today doesn't mean that anything has changed. The one who will torture her would be none other than me. I won't let someone else take that pleasure away from me."

Ruoshan just shook his head at his brother's words. It was stupid how he couldn't realize such a simple thing that Li Ming was his soulmate but then the erased mark pilled up questions that needed to be answered.  

Something that could stop the Demon Lord from recognizing his long-awaited mate, won't be a simple thing.

"Then what were you doing in the Dongji village?" Zhang Yong asked with raised eyebrows like he was trying to challenge the Second Demon Prince to pass his investigation without any flaws.

"Sightseeing."

His reply made the other three look at him with raised eyebrows. It was clear that none of them believed him and just when Zhang Yong was about to ask another question, Hei Long interrupted him.

"I'm leaving now. There are some issues in the Demon Realm that needed to be taken care of. And you are coming with me."

"Why I need to come with you? Can't you..." Whatever Zhang Yong was going to say got cut off as Hei Long teleported back to the Demon Realm along with a protesting Shadow Lord.

"Do you think he will really hurt her?" There was worry in Ruoshan's voice as he asked the question. His eyes landing on his sleeping Xingan.

"Don't worry. No matter, whatever happens, his soul will never let him hurt her. He's just frustrated with the fact that he's getting pulled towards a girl who's not his mate according to him. That's why he's behaving like this but what happened today made it clear that deep down his soul has already started realizing the truth of Little one." Lord Yueliang's words calmed Ruoshan who also nodded his head.

For the next few hours, Li Ming kept sleeping soundly. Neither Ruoshan nor Lord Yueliang tried to wake her up.

It was past two in the morning when Li Ming finally came back to consciousness. Her eyes slowly opened to look at a large dark room lit by some lanterns.

Her head felt heavy as she let out a deep sigh. She had no idea where she was and she was feeling claustrophobic in the tight and heavy dress that was clutching to her body.

Li Ming clapped her hands and immediately her long heavy dress changed into a pair of sweatshirt and silky shorts. 

She clumsily fixed her hair in a loose bun which ended up with loose strands falling down her neck.

A chuckle left her lips as she landed up on the floor after getting entangled in the sheets. Though her butt was crying in pain but her fuzzy mind was too busy to pay it any attention.

On the other hand, Lord Yueliang was coming to check her condition and was currently outside the guest-chamber in which Li Ming was sleeping, when he heard the sound of someone falling on the floor.

Though the next second it was accompanied by a melodious chuckle but his feet still led him urgently inside the chamber. 

But he stopped in his tracks at the end of the bed when his eyes fell on the girl who was giggling as she kept lying on the floor in a mass of sheets.

His eyes took in her bare shoulder where her sweatshirt had slipped down. 

Li Ming noticed the handsome who was standing a few feet away from her. She quickly stood up and moved towards the guy who looked like an anime character. She completely ignored the way in which Moon Deity's eyes enlarged as he took in her complete appearance.

He immediately pulled a white robe out of thin air and draped it over Li Ming's shoulder as he said, "Miss, the weather is cold here. Please take care of your health."

Li Ming shrugged the robe off her shoulder as she glared at the handsome, "Mr. Beauty, what kind of thermometer do you use? It's burning here and I'm dying because of this high temperature. Are you planning to kill me with so much heat?" Her voice was accusing as she looked at the Mr. Beauty with a pout plastered on her face.

Lord Yueliang was completely unprepared for such a situation. He never thought that he would encounter his Little One in such a condition.

Her lack of clothes was telling him to immediately leave the room but the fact that she was drunk and accusing him while looking so cute made him want to sweep her in his arms tightly so that he could protect her from everyone.

It was like Li Ming heard his second thoughts because the next second both her hands were around his shoulders as she locked them behind his neck. She looked up into his eyes with a frown.

"You are too tall. I think I should invent heels, otherwise, I'll always need to look up while speaking to others. It will be the worst thing to happen while talking to my competitors. Yes, I definitely need to invent heels," Li Ming muttered as she gave the Moon Deity a sad look. But then a smile bloomed on her face.

"You are tall but you are handsome too. You can definitely win the most handsome man's title without any struggle. Tell me, Mr. Beauty are you already taken?" Li Ming asked and snaked one of her hands down to grip his hands and checked them closely to see if he was wearing any wedding rings.

To her relief there was none. Good! She would take this Mr. Beauty for herself then. Her hands once again ended up in their previous position.

The Moon Deity was so shocked and surprised by the sudden changes in Li Ming's expressions and her words that he kept standing there staring at her.

"What's happening here?" The sudden question that came from behind them finally jerked Lord Yueliang out of his stupor.
