Chapter 396 - Courting Trouble

Name:The Princess and The Lord Author:
Zhao Li Xin approach lory as he took her hand gently "This is my wife" 

Lory bows her head courteously "My name Is Luo…Yi Ri" she feel a bit embarrassed by her uncreative names.

Zhao Li Xin faces unperturbed as he looking at her with indulgence gaze but lory feel Zhao Li Xin's voice 'Stupid' inwardly to her.

Nan Yu Qi's face remains expressionless, she feel better when she saw Lory's ordinary face. no woman likes to see anyone prettier than her especially Nan Yu Qi "She can't come as long she's not bothering your progress and duty" she said with warning.

"I will not dare, thank you young miss" Lory humbly bow toward Nan Yu Qi. Unbeknown by anyone there's a vicious glint inside Zhao Li Xin's eyes, he notes himself to make nan Yu Qi pay for make his princess bow her head. Lory herself didn't know what Zhao Li Xin thinking as for her mission is more important than her self pride.

Lory politeness feeds her ego, she smiles proudly as she flicks her sleeves and walks away followed by other Sacred Mountain peak members, Zhao Li Xin and Lory exchanged a glance before they followed them but suddenly someone holler at them.

"Mas…young master, young Madam!" the little girls who were hit black and blue by Gong Fang Yan tottering towards them, when she got close she kneels on the ground as she hit her forehead loudly "Thank you, thank you for saving me, thank you for avenged my brother and his friend, thank you, thank you!" she hit her head on the ground repeatedly.

Lory feel dizzy as she watches the pitiful girl, she holds the little girl shoulder to stop the little girls injured her head further "Okay, okay, don't hurt your head, calm down, are you okay?" Lory aching watches the little girl face cover with brushed and now she even adds more wound on her forehead.

The little girl feel she just found her save lifeboat as she feel relief more tears fall on her cheeks and she sobbing incessantly, Lory didn't know what to do, she wipes the little girl face with a handkerchief as she coaxed the little girl "I cannot stay with you but I have a friend who will help you. Do you have a family?" Lory asked softly.

The little girl nods her head weakly "Yes…"

"Listen to me, my friend will help you, you don't have to worry, he will help you to burry your brother and friend and bring you back home, you understand? Sorry, I have to go now, but you gonna be okay, trust me!" Lory has no choice to leave the little girl alone she gives a sign to Mong Yi and Mong Ki to take care of the little girl since they can't follow Zhao Li Xin and Lory to the cloud city.

The little girl feel scared 

When Lory left her behind but somehow she trusts that woman words 'She'll be okay' even though she only met her for a few minutes but the little girl believes Lory words wholeheartedly, such a weird feeling. Lory smiles gently to comfort the little girl as she patted the little girl head and she sighs deeply then she turn around and walk away,

The little girl bit her lips feeling scared and lost, without her brother she's alone and that kind woman also left, when she helplessly look down but suddenly a big shadow covers her small shadow on the ground her, the little girl lifts her head in surprised.

"I'm Mong Yi, my madam told me to help you," he said with a flat tone.

"Are Madam Luo subordinated?" the little girl's eyes brimmed with hope.

"Yes, let's go!" Mong Yi said indifferently.

Meantime Lory and Zhao Li Xin follow Nan Yu Qi as they climb to the mountains because all of them used their Gin Qong, Zhao Li Xin has to carry Lory with him. The terrain they went through is very difficult and steep without high cultivation no normal human could reach the cloud city. Lory holds Zhao Li Xin's neck tightly as he bounces between the stone wall.

Nan Yu Qi throw Lory ridiculed gaze as someone as weak as Lory would just drag her spouse down, she wonders when Lu Xin comes to his sense and kick that wasted woman behind since this happens a lot for every man and woman who enter Sacred Mountain Peak.

Although they have lover, fiance, or wife before they came but after they enter Sacred Mountain Peak and see how far they can reach the top they used to be let go their old feeling and reach for the better one. At the end human is selfish and greedy once they tasted power they could never stop and Nan Yu Qi believes this Lu Xin is also the same.

Lory could gaze the meaning behind Nan Yu Qi gaze but she far from care, On the other hand, Zhao Li Xin didn't realize about Nan yu Qi even the slightest as he enjoyed his times being close with his princess, no one would understand the level of his possessive, if he could he would glue Lory on his waist and carry her around everywhere, sadly is only a dream.

They arrived near the top of the mountain, in front of them there's a giant white gate with phoenix bird fly among the cloud carved on the door, Zhao Li Xin put lory down carefully, the long journey make her feet a bit numbs. Nan yu Qi and other members ignore Lory, they show their jade identification to the hate keeper then she something more while staring at Zhao Li Xin. the gatekeeper nods his head and Nan Yu Qi enters the gates without waiting for Lory and Zhao Li Xin.

"Is your leg still hurt?" Zhao Li Xin also didn't bother with Nan Yu Qi and the other, he almost kneels on the ground to check lory legs but Lory stops him "Don't!" Lory grabs his shoulder "They will belittle you if you do this!" Lory widens her eyes as she warns him quietly.

Zhao Li Xin frown "So?"

"Not now, hurry straight your back be…..arrogant!" she quickly pull Zhao Li Xin up as she hit his back to stand up straight, Zhao Li Xin doesn't know what lory mean but he followed her instruction nonetheless. Zhao Li Xin walks with lory beside him, Lory acted as a demurred and timid lady while Zhao Li Xin….well he can only act like himself.

"You are Lu Xin, the new disciple?" the gatekeeper asked while size him up.

"Yes!" Zhao Li Xin answer shortly.

"And who is this?" the gatekeepers stare at Lory with disdained as he can feel the lacked Qi around her showing her as a wasted, in Sacred Mountain peak Society a wasted woman is, even more, lower than a dog.

"My wife" Zhao Li Xin answer without hesitation.

The gatekeeper frowned in disbelieve, then he stared at Zhao Li Xin "We'll see about that" he scoffed. The gatekeeper is certain that Zhao Li Xin will throw away his wife before the end of the week, not only the woman is wasted but she also not beautiful and sacred Mountain Peak is full with the beautiful and talented lady, he can't believe Zhao Li Xin will not be tempted.

Lory raised her eyebrows, she becomes curious about how Sacred Mountain peak member's behavior if a simple gatekeeper was this overbearing she can't imagine how the inner disciples and elder would behave. Lory smiles politely to the gatekeeper she doesn't look offended at least the woman knows her place, the gatekeeper thought but then he feel sudden cold down to his spun, Zhao Li Xin glared at the gatekeeper like the beast eyeing his prey, the gatekeeper froze as he feel heavy pressured on his c.h.e.s.t.

More people add to his 'kill list' Zhao Li Xin can't wait the day he would devour the whole mountain and unleash his wrath, soon they will see how hell looks like.

"Husband, let's go" Lory intertwined her hand with Zhao Li Xin.

When the softness touches his hand the raged in his heart slowly dissipated, he clenched Lory's hand to calmed his anger. Lory pulls him away from the frightened gatekeeper before Zhao Li Xin chops the stupid man heads off. Only after Zhao Li Xin figure disappeared the gatekeeper finally able to breathe, he hit his c.h.e.s.t with his fist, he wonders what kinda a man Lady Nan invite this time, he seems very dangerous.

"Don't take it to heart what other people said" Zhao Li Xin wrapped Lory in his embrace.

Lory giggles at the same time her heart feel engulf with warmth "I know, Don't worry about that, I'm fine...I trust you" Lory lean her head on his arms as they walk side by side.

"Is good if you're fine..." Zhao Li Xin said gently but then his eyes turn extremely cold.

'Because they will not...'
