Chapter 471 - The Unexpected Situation

The giant wooden stage is built on the town square, while the distinguished elder, Guest and Xie Hui Rong is a seat on the podium to have a better view, of course, Xie Hui Rong and the leader of other sect seat are on the top of the podium just to show off their position but For Zhao Li Xin they just being an easy mark for his people, for this Zhao Li Xin applaud Xie Hui Rong vanity.

Zhao Li Xin and Lory are joined with the crowd, they stand a little bit further from the stage, from this point a view Zhao Li Xin who is taller than normal people has no problem as he can see the stage clearly but lory who is two head shorter than Zhao Li Xin was blocked completely.

"Tsk, I can't see anything" even when she tiptoes she only sees a little of the stage.

Zhao Li Xin feel bad for her, he looks around to search something then he see a father carry his little daughter something flash on his mind and he thought he has a good idea, he raised his hand as he tries to wrap his hand on her waist but suddenly Lory smack his hand and glare towards him "Don't you dare carry me like a child!" she also see the father-daughter and she can't believe her husband has the same idea, that daughter is five years old!

Being reprimanded harshly with his wife he sadly cancels the idea and a few seconds later Mong Yi came like a lifesaver as he came with a stool on his hand "Why don't you used this madam" he put the stool in front of Lory, finally someone with normal commonsense.

The reliable subordinated make lory sigh in relief, Mong Yi even found a stool that's not too short and not too high so she wouldn't block people behind her, Lory beamed excitedly as she voices her appreciation earnestly "Thank you, brother Mong!" Lory then quickly step on the stool immediately and her vision becomes clear.

On the side, Zhao Li Xin stare at Mong Yi with scowl 'You still my thunder!'

Mong Yi holds the urged to roll his eyes in front of his Lord as he laments to himself 'So you are still a silly man huh, Milord' 

Still, as a good subordinated he help his Lord whatever he can so he reminds Lory "Be careful not to fall down, You need to hold down with the Lord here" he earnestly remind her.

"Oh yes!" the stool a little bit wobbly, Lory quickly wrapped her right hand on Zhao Li Xin's neck and Zhao Li Xin wrapped his left hand on her waist and just like that his mood lift again and he gives Mong Yi satisfied look.

Mong Yi laments to himself "What a silly man'

Oh well this servant still have an important matter to report to his silly Lord, Mong Yi take step beside Zhao Li Xin and whisper "Master Wu is the process to diactivated the array around the Sacred Mountain Peak, it will take ten minute then Master Jiang and our allied would enter the gate"

"Hm," Zhao Li Xin answer with deep hummed.

Then Mong Yi continue "Master Bei and his crazy flower is on the way to the forbidden library to get rid the hidden guard around the library, Master Jin also ready, he only wait for Milord cue"

"You already remind our allied that our target is only Sacred Mountain, peak people" 

"Yes, Milord!" 

"Good, don't make mistake I don't want my princess disheartened for the death of innocent people" Zhao Li Xin who never care about other people life before make an exception for today, it gives extra job for his people but it's fine because the last thing he wants to see is Lory guilty face.

"Understood Milord!" Mong Yi replies firmly.

"Good, you may leave" Zhao Li Xin nods then Mong Yi left with a slight nod because he can't let anyone notice his strange behavior.

Lory who has zero cultivation couldn't hear what Zhao Li Xin and Mong Yi discussion but she trust him nonetheless. From the distance she saw a woman with soft pink and white dress enters the podium, she's wearing a thick pink veil that covers half her face but everyone recognizes the beautiful woman as Nan Yu Qi obviously because she takes a seat where Nan Yu Qi supposed to be and also because her personal maid follows behind her.

"Nan Yu Qi is here!" Lory tug Zhao Li Xin collar.

"Oh.," he replies indifferently, he glances only a second to Nan Yu Qi was then he Burry his nose on Lory's neck and inhaled her sweet scent, yes, our Lord is little bit pervert.

Although Nan Yu Qi is wearing a veil, but she could see her skin is recovered nicely, Lao Min Na antidote seems to work really well just in a short day Nan Yu Qi condition recover tremendously, but why she still wearing a veil? Lory tilts her head as she pondering.

Zhao Li Xin wonder what make her look concerned "What's wrong?" he asked because the stool lory and Zhao Li is almost the same hight Lory only a little bit higher so when Zhao Li Xin whisper is right to her mouth.

The warm breath and graze from his lips make her startled, she pulls her head away from Zhao Li Xin in reflex "No, nothing!" she blushed heavily.

"You seem like thinking about something?" he is not convinced although her reaction is absolutely adorable.

"No, it just…." This time she whispers on Zhao Li Xin ear "Why Nan Yu Qi wearing veil if she already healed"

Zhao Li Xin enjoys their closeness then she answers carelessly "Maybe she realizes how ugly her face is…."

Lory frown as she doubts Zhao Li Xin's words "Really, Nan Yu Qi? Isn't she one of the most beautiful girl in here" Lory stare at him with incredulous looks even Lory has to admit that Nan Yu Qi is an elegant beauty.

Zhao Li Xin scoffed "She ugly before then she gets uglier and now she just slightly better, compare to your real appearance she looks like ugly toad wishing for the swan, what I mean swan is you…" he thought he has to explain the local proverb because lory is not from this country, heck she's even from this world.

Lory doesn't know should she feel happy or worry, one thing for sure there something weird with her husband taste, But Zhao Li Xin looked at her with gleaming eyes there's no shred of doubt in his expression it's almost convince her, Lory look down as she let out a long sigh, Oh well, at least that means he only has eyes for her and that's good too.

Suddenly Lory feel a piercing glare towards her, she looks up and sees Mo Ning Yuan staring at her with eyes filled with hatred. Somehow Mo Ning Yuan acquire a respected seat on the second floor, where only distinguished guests and noble families could have but then again the Mo family is still a noble family even if they don't have the power and wealth like it used to.

Lory doesn't afraid, she only creased her eyebrows, she doesn't understand why Mo Ning Yuan stare at her like she's stealing her money, then she follows where Mo Ning Yuan gaze as she was expected, Mo Ning Yuan is staring at Zhao Li Xin. Lory's anger flare-up, someone dares give her husband a passionate gaze when she was around, this is preposterous!

"Princess. don't bother with her, she just nobody" Zhao Li Xin whisper on her ear, and his mouth touches her earlobe at the same time Mo Ning Yuan's murderous gaze intensifies. it reminds her with the woman in horror movies.

Lory mouth twitch, she turned her head to Zhao Li Xin then she kissed his lips gently, not too fast but not to slow either but enough to send electric wave on Zhao Li Xin skin, Zhao Li Xin was stunned and so people around them who never seen couple show their intimate behavior in public as anger took the best of her Lory doesn't care what other people thought. If it's in her world no one would give them a second glance if they making out right now, so this light kiss is still appropriated based on Lory standard.

Zhao Li Xin face beamed like a lightbulb "My wife, why you so eager today, how about we go home and forget about this parley or whatever they called it" he can't contain the fire in his eyes as he tightens his hand on her waist and press her body on him and the unique smell of bellflower tickle his nose make his passion rise further.
