Chapter 663 - Outstanding Princess

In the present Zhao Li Xin secretly sneak inside the Sanguan manor after he had a date with his beloved princess, inside his room Mong Yi already present by kneeling on the floor as a good duteous vassal should be.

"Greeting Milord" they cupped their fist to saluted him.

as always he strides across the room without answering them then lazily plopped to the chair "Tell me everything!" he orders with an apathetic look.

Mong Yi knew his Lord asked about what happened at the Tea house and he is certain that Zhao Li Xin will make anyone involved pay for their audacity especially Sanguan Li Ye and Sanguan Wu Ci, unlike the madam his master is very petty.

Mong Yi then told Zhao Li Xin everything that happened including all mockery and insult they throw at Lory, the more he heard the colder his expression becomes, the poor Mong Yi could feel his hair raising as the air grew thin.

When it comes to LoryZhao Li Xin have a little patient not to mention he originally not a patient man either, is hard for him to accept someone wronged his beloved princess maybe other people would say he should not make a big deal out of it.

They would say it just words since no one is got hurt, but Zhao Li Xin knew how words could incapacitate a person more than a blade could, how people would get so down and depressed it has the ability to pushed someone over the edge if words couldn't hurt anyone so why there's a lot of people who kill other or suicide because of it. 

Zhao Li Xin will not let anyone talk badly about Lory, not when he can do something about it, even though Lory will say is not necessary but Zhao Li Xin is unlike his princess, he is a vengeful Lord, merciless and cruel, he will make them pay for what they did, start with Sanguan Li Ye after all her family had an unpaid debt to him.

"How is that Sanguan.....something situation, now?"

"According to the physician who was checking her condition, not only she hurt her dantian and lose all her cultivation she also loses her hearing too" Mong Yi heart sunk when he knows what happened to sanguan Li Ye not because he pities that woman but because he petrified how violent Girsha could be.

When Zhao Li Xin hears what happened to Sanguan Li Ye his eyes flicker and his face beamed with delight then he laughs. He laughs as his shoulder trembles profusely, Mong Yi subconsciously gulped nervously. It's been a while since he heard Zhao Li Xin laugh like this, since Lory come some time he forgot how terrifying his Lord was.

The way Zhao Li Xin laugh is not loud or unrestraint like other people but it sounds like a low cackle you can faintly hear still it's a spine-chilling sound that make one feel goosebump all over their body, it sounds so creepy Mong Yi wishes Zhao Li Xin shouted or hits something instead.

"I should be grateful that Girsha is not a forgiving creature….aah, I feel better now" he lean his back then shut his cold black eyes with a sigh of relief.

While Mong Yi laments to himself, although Lory is a very kind and magnanimous person but why all the people around her are very cruel and vindictive towards people who harmed Lory in any way.

Other than his Demon Lord, there also Empress Ming and the gentle lady miss Yang Xi Ying, every single one of them are very aggressive, not only them even young madam pet is also very vicious and brutal. Mong Yi suddenly wondering how is young madam family in another world? are they kind and benevolent like her or they are no better than the people here?

If Lory heard Mong Yi thought she would say that her family is more or less are the same only their method is more subtle and confidential because their law is more binding and their got reputation to keep up.

"Oh, I have a marvelous idea…" Zhao Li Xin suddenly opens his eyes and smirk "Tell Jin Hao to give 'that' to Sanguan Li Ye, let her taste her own medicine" he snickered evilly.

Mong Yi suddenly has an urge to burn joss stick and pray for Sanguan Li Ye.

"Yes Milord" Mong Yi cupped his fist and bow his head before he left the room as he jumps out of the tall wall fence he looks at at the direction where Sanguan Li ye courtyard supposed to be, mong Yi shook his head feeling a slight regret for that young woman 'a disaster came from reckless words' such a fitting words, indeed.

________________________________

At another place, the clueless princess yawn widely one can throw a meatball on it. Lory scratches her nape carelessly while staring at the place in a daze, yes, the great princess is very relaxed she already forgot what happened before even though it's not even less than a day.

After she washes her face she feel more energizing and fresh, she wipes her face clean with a towel then someone knocks on her door.

"Come in!" Lory shouted in an unladylike manner, but she didn't care.

"Lory~" Bei Li Yan peek from behind the door with coquettish smile bloom on his handsome but feminine face.

"Come in Brother Bei!" Lory throws the towel on the side then sauntered to the middle of the room behind the wooden partition. 

Normally a man who is not related is not allowed to visit woman room and it vice-versa, but Lory who got more liberal cultured have a hard time to remember all the strict custom moreover implemented it in the real-life so sometimes she forgot about this and Bei Li Yan brazen behaviour is not helping her as well. 

"What time is it?" without a clock she needs to look outside

"Is late afternoon" he answer while brew tea for Lory.

Lory open the window then she realizes the sky painted with a gradient of orange to red color creating a picture-perfect for a beautiful sunset. The cold wind blow her face, she take a deep breath then she takes a seat and folded her arms on the round table. Bei Li Yan served the warm tea on the table than say; "The preparation has been made for the possibility of the Beast tide, with reassurance from empress Ming everyone in Liang Zu is willing to cooperate, what I mean everyone is The Fu family, the old grand tutor, and prime minister"

Lory sip the tea and sigh "That's good…"

"Jiu Yun sect also collaborated to created protective array around Jing An city, if it's not for the Beast tide it can protect city from attack from other country so they are quite eager about this" said Bei Li Yan while take another sip of tea as well.

"What about Jin Kai?" Lory inhaled the sweet tea scent before she take another sip.

"Our people saw him bring three powerful experts, they also bring a lot of powerful divined Beast with them, there's a possibility they want to create more beast like the one we saw in the cave" Bei Li Yan grimace with disgust when he remembers the beast appearance.

"Do they know what are they doing" Lory put down the teacup then lean his cheek on her palm "Let me asked you, if someone gives you a dubious method to increased your power will you accept it?" she asked curiously.

"Well…" Bei Li Yan pinch his chin while pondering "Depend on my situation if I'm in desperate situation…I will say yes" he gave a conceding look.

Lory huffed exasperatedly "So that's how is it…."

"Power is the only thing absolute in this world weather you are rich or poor if you have power you could have everything just look Milord, with his monstrous power who dare stand in his way even Emperor have to think twice if they want to provoked him" Bei Li Yan grin proudly.

"True…." Lory sighs.

"What about your world lory, is it the same?" Bei Li Yan props his pointy chin on his palm, his eyes glistening like a excited kid waiting for bedtime story.

His eagerness make her perplexed but she had no attention to hide anything, she knows the more she open about herself the better the understanding they have towards her at the same time it can reduce some doubt or fear around her and her world.

"Uhm, more or less I think. I think is because the nations in my world are more integrate unlike here, all of them are bound by international law, to aid peace and harmony between the countries around the world, we called that organization Verrion United Nation or VUN.

'Which is not Vun (Fun) at all' Lory said inwardly.

"You mean all of the countries is join together and bound by the same law!" Bei Li Yan exclaimed in shock.

"Well, not all country. The last time I was there there was seventy country join as members but I don't know what happened after I left" Lory shrug casually "Is not sound as easy as you think, there still some friction, argument, scheemed between the country but at least at the surface they try to resolve the matter peacefully instead war"

Bei Li Yan's eyes bulged widely, he can't even begin to imagine seventy emperors came to the same place and talk in a civilized manner "What are they doing together, is it like a giant banquet or something, what kinda entertainment they had?" he got more curious.

Lory's mouth twitch "What entertainment? It's a boring event, where people gather and discussed the matter of the world and find the solution to solve the matter, overall there's a lot of presentation, preaching and hearing for hours, no 'VUN' at all" her memory wander when she was fifteen and attend the Meeting with Lucas, it was an arduous struggle for him not to fall asleep.

"Do you came to the gathering!" he shrieks excitedly as he looks at her with envy. Bei Li Yan didn't believe it would be boring meeting with seventy ruler come at the one place, imagine all dirty laundry he could gather there!

"Yes, my father told me to, he also make me preached about the equality between the gifted and the creator matter in front of the nation so I'm very stress that day" Lory feel tired when she recalled the memory.

"REALLY, young madam that sounds amazing!!" he shrill excitedly, his eyes brimmed with utter admiration towards her.

"It's nothing, is a long time ago anyway…..let's talk about Jin Kai, is he met with Lao Min Na?" Lory waves her hands carelessly then smoothly return the conversation back to Jin Kai. 

Maybe for other people what she had done is amazing but Lory didn't feel the same, the reason she was appointed because of her status and because his Father and her predecessor succeed to bring a peaceful environment for the gift and the creator to worked and lived together also minimalize the friction between them, it got nothing to do with her at all.

Moreover, she's not the only one who prepares the speech, she got help from Fred and Clift to write her speech, she just glad she didn't mess up her speech that day. But if Fred and the others know about her thought they would say if not because of her sincerity and compassion speech she wouldn't able move the audiences and as a result created a new law to protect the gifted and the creator welfare in another country.
