Chapter 632 - The Demon Scheme

"Ha – choooo!"

"Ah, aunty, don't sneeze on my face!" Ming Yue Yin covers his face with her sleeve.

"Sowy…" Lory sniffles then wipe her itchy nose with a handkerchief. 

"Are you sick?" Yang Xi Ying frown slightly.

"No….I'm just feeling itchy" she scratches her nose.

"Maybe someone talks bad thing behind your back" Ming Yue Yin grinned.

Lory scowled at the naughty brat "I believe that person is you"

"Hey, I'm here with you!" 

"You might badmouth me in your head" 

"I did not!"

"You did to!"

"Did Not!"

"Did to!"

"SHUT UP, and eat your dumpling!" Yang Xi Ying shouted angrily.

Lory and Ming Yue Yin who got yell at immediately lower their head and eat their dumpling as they told obediently. They say pretty women have a temper, well that's true. Yang Xi Ying sigh watching her best friend she wonders is she become like this when she has children, she doesn't know should she feel happy or sad.

Ming Yue Yin and Lory peek at each other and teased each other. In the whole world maybe only in front of Lory and Yang Xi Ying, she can act like a normal teenager, he can throwing tantrums and acted silly without afraid of other people judged. She knew this kinda alive is not last so, soon she has to return to her palace, she has to wear the heavy brocade and sit on the golden chair, acted wise and dignified like other people expected her to. 

So until that moment, she will play and laugh with her beloved best friend till her heart contend, just a little longer…

"Your majesty" Su Yi approaches her with the roll of parchment in her hand "General Fu send important news, may your majesty take a look" she hands the roll of parchment courteously.

The playfulness in Ming Yue Yin's face dissipated instantly, her expression becomes serious and regal is like someone suddenly changes the switch on her body. She accepts the parchment and she read it carefully then her beautiful eyebrows gradually furrow. Lory and Yang Xi Ying knew something happens in the Liang Zu's kingdom.

"What's wrong, something happened in your kingdom?" Lory asks in worry.

Ming Yue Yin put the parchment on the table "No, is not like that….something weird happened and not only in my kingdom"

"What is it?" Yang Xi Ying's family lives in Sun Jan city, its still part of Liang Zu's kingdom so she got worried about what had happened in the kingdom even though she's not that close with her family but he still cares about his Father.

"A lot of high-level beasts mysteriously disappeared" she frowned while rubbing her chin with her finger "All divined beast and higher level beast suddenly disappeared, they say recently there is a group of people who gives big reward for living high-level beast, but…how could they empty the forest, and not just in my kingdom it also happened on the other kingdom"

"What, they all gone?" Yang Xi Ying stupefied.

"Well, there are still someplace that still normal though, like the once Lu territory place and the previous sacred mountain peak is still normal but the other place….who could have done this, why anyone needs so many high-level beasts?" Ming Yue Yin mutter to herself.

"You said people race at each other to capture high-level beast because someone gives them a big reward, who is this mysterious group?" Lory suddenly becomes wary, a bad memory rush to her mind.

"We don't know yet, however, the high-level beast is not cabbage, finding it is hard enough because a high-level beast is smarter than a normal beast and to capture is not an easy feat," said Ming Yue Yin.

"You right, is impossible to capture a lot of beast in a short time, it takes a month to trace one of them and it would take an expert to catch one" Yang Xi Ying equally baffled by the sudden news, she, not herself to ask Li Mo Zhen about Jiu Yun sect because they stay on the mountain their location is surrounded by thick forest, a few high-level beasts reside around them but they can't get close because of the protective array around their sect.

"Is it only happened at Xin Fang continent what about here in Gui Hong continent?" Lory asked.

"We haven't heard any news about it madam Zhao," said Su Yi politely, because Su Yi and the other si sister felt weird called her Lory they tactfully agree to call Lory madam Zhao or miss Luo, and Lory didn't care there was even a time when someone called her 'Sweetie pie'

Lory folded her hands on the table and contemplate. Ming Yue Yin saw Lory immersed in her thought then she calls her with a low voice "What are you thinking aunty?" 

"Lory, what's the matter?" Yang Xi Yin notices Lory's grim expression.

"I'm worried….but I hope I'm wrong" Lory sigh.

"What is it?" Ming Yue Yin curiosity pique.

[Girsha!] Lory shouted.

A white bird flew down before them and land on the table his long golden tails spread on the table surface, shimmering under the sunlight, girsha green eyes stare at Lory deeply [Now Lazarus is here, it's not imposible]

[But Lazarus is too weak, just like in our, he is locked inside his cage, it was Nazareth the black Dragon that forcefully opens the dark gate and invites the dark miasma from the other dimension, do you think Lazarus found another creature like Nazareth?] 

[I don't know, the law between the world is a bit different….what if he doesn't need a creature like Nazareth?]

[Imposibble!] Lory strongly refuted.

[Is it?] Girsha squint his eyes [We always though Nazareth attack us by it owned free will, what if…Lazarus is behind it all]

Lory gasped her eyes widened, she never thinks about this before maybe because she was too focused on Lucas's safety and she still mourned for her father [You think Lazarus is the one who planned it all, but he was caged!] she reminds him.

For outsider they only saw Lory and Girsha are doing staring contest but Ming Yue Yin know that they are in a middle of the discussion, she can't take the tension anymore she blocks Girsha and Lory view with her hand "Please share your thought with us, we are dying with curiosity here!" she wined.

Lory startled she lifts her head and smile dryly "Oh, sorry" Lory straighten her back, Lory quickly collects herself and her expression become normal again "The truth is this situation had happened before in my world once, before the awakening of the black dragon Nazareth, a lot of beasts suddenly disappeared or hide, in short, their population suddenly decreased"

"Then what happened?" Yang Xi Ying and the other unconsciously lean towards her.

"When Nazareth awake, the first thing he does is break the gate from the dark dimension, well it got many names though….but they all the same, from the gate the black miasma flooding our world like a broken dam"

"Black miasma?" Su Yi blurted out her question.

Lory realizes in a world where no one knows about magic how could they know about black miasma "Let me explain….in one of the theory I learned said that black miasma it something created by impurity, like hatred, anger, fear, sadness and all negative feeling, all this feeling acc.u.mulated for years, it only took a dark spell to summon this dark feeling and materialize into a black miasma, and this black miasma could drive human or beast crazy"

"But there is no black miasma here and no one can't use spell other than you," Ming Yue Yin said.

"Wrong there is one….there is Lazarus" Lory tapped her finger on the table.
