Chapter 666 - Lovely Day

The sighs that left his thin lips were long and heavy, he put down the winecup thudded on the table surface as he looks down with weary. Zhao Li Xin struggles to hide the fact how much he hated other women's companions besides Lory especially a scheming woman like Bai Xue, if not because she still useful for him Zhao Li Xin would not even bother to give her a single glance.

However, his painstaking effort is not in vain at least he knows that the cold poison has a connection with the Celestial Immortal sect even though there weren't many people inside the sect who know about the cold poison, however, is impossible for Zi Quan Mei as the sect leader didn't know anything about it so naturally, Bai Xue must hear something too.

He wants to know how Zi Quan Mei obtain the cold poison, because she's not an alchemist and the Celestial sect didn't have an alchemist who has enough talent to concocted the poison then she must receive it from someone else, the question is, who is that person?

Is that person from Celestial immortal or perhaps an outsider. The method to concocted the cold poison is very secretive and very mysterious, no one knows what the ingredient of the poison and no one able to create the antidote not even Jin Hao who was known as one of the best alchemists and physician in the world able to make the cured even after years he treating Zhao Li Xin.

If not because of Lory, Zhao Li Xin is certain he would end up dead right now, or at least he would live miserably until the day he dies, he still remembers vividly the excruciating whenever the poison reacted, the coldness that feel like a fire, burning him from inside out make him scream in pained all night long.

Then Lory's face flashes in his mind and there's a clear softness visible in his face, it was a gentleness, and warmth that he never shows to anyone other than Lory then a radiant smile blooms on his face.

It happens whenever he thinks about Lory, he had told Lory more than one time, how much he appreciated what she had done to him, especially when later he knows that her act of saving him almost harmed in a word way, but Lory reaction is way too relaxed and sometime she would stare back at him with a blank expression, wondering why he still thinks about it, obviously Lory didn't understand how much it meant for him, she's not just saved his life, she also changes his life in a way he could never dream of.

Perhaps because she thought she had this 'gift' so it's normal for her to save anyone in need, or because she had saved a lot of people in the past so she didn't take pride in what she did. Clearly for her whatever she had done whether she saves Zhao Li Xin, Ming Yue Yin, Li Mo Zhen, and other people was not something remarkable for her instead it just something she ought to do as a human being.

She didn't think about how to take advantage of the situation or even asked for rewards, Zhao Li Xin knew it never cross her mind even a second, that's why he fell in love with her if it's someone else he might just give that person support or assistance to give them what they want, however when he met Lory….. there are no words to describe how he felt that night, to love her is inevitable for him.

The bushes are very thick and quite tall, Zhao Li Xin has to walk around it and there she found her sitting on the ground in the fetal position, his skin as pale as snow make her big purple iris eyes looks more conspicuous, she stares back at him while pursed her soft pink lips that make him throat feel dry, the strong wind blow scattered her bluish wavy hair on her shoulder but it didn't ruined her appearance instead make her look more enchanting, just like a stranded fairy in a mortal world….she does look upset though.

"Lory, what are you doing?" he kneels with one knee in front of her.

Lory rests her chin on her knee, her eyes fill with complain "Watching my husband have a date with other women…." She scoffed.

Zhao Li Xin startled 'what date?' it took a few seconds for him to realizes that Lory quipped about his meeting with Bai Xue, knowing she feel jealous of him make him elated

"Oh, which husband?" he lifts Lory from the ground then make her sit on his l.a.p "How can he be so stupid for leaving a very beautiful woman like you, why don't you leave him and stay with me instead, this Lord will give everything you the world, what do you think?" he said with glee.

It's rare for Zhao Li Xin to make jokes so Lory was shocked for a second then her face turn red she could feel invisible smoke came from the top of her head, what should she do when her husband flirting ability increased again!

"Shut Up!" she didn't know what to do other than pretend to be angry to hide her shyness.

Zhao Li Xin burst to laugh then he pulls head close and kissed her directly, she finally able to taste her soft lips that he was craving from the moment he saw her and it tasted better than he could remember. The circuit in her head broke down when he planted his lips on her, it's been a while since they kissed no wonder the kiss becomes more passionate.

Zhao Li Xin reluctantly let her go after he feel she had trouble breathing, they pressed their forehead at each other while trying to extinguish the fire burning inside them, although he didn't mind going all the way behind the bushes, sadly the princess will not agree with him.

"Your hands please!" Lory slap his hands that roaming all over her body brazenly.

"Don't blame me, it's been a long time since the last time we did it…" he said pitifully.

"Is not that long, it's only been a week or so…" she rolls her eyes, they are in a very crucial moment of their life how could his mind still wonder there? Is it true what Fargo said that man used their lower head more than their upper head?

"It's been nine days, I've been leaving like a monk even though I have a beautiful wife in my arms isn't I pitiful…..?" he sighs heavily.

"Really, don't you have Miss Bai to keep you excited, you seem to have a good relationship" Lory still not let the matter go. Lory never saw Zhao Li Xin talk with women privately in an amicable manner so it struck her very much when she first saw it and she can't hide her fear that someone might snatch her man.

"Are jealous my wife?" his mood has hit the sky roof make his usual gloomy face beamed like a light bulb.

On contrary, Lory feel more upset "What, you got a problem with that?" 

"No – no – no, of course not even though I don't know why you need to feel like that, but I assured you that the only thing that make me feel excited about that Bai woman is when I cut off her heads…..I think you understand what I mean" he smiles warmly.

Lory shakes her head, she feel a bit worry for Bai Xue "I don't think so…"

"Doesn't matter, whatever happens, you got nothing to worry about…" he c.a.r.e.s.sed her cheek with a gentle smile, a kind of smile he only shows to Lory.

"I know, I just being unreasonable…."

"It's fine, I like it very much, you should learn how to be unreasonable once a while" he genuinely encourages her.

"I thought I already did, isn't that why you mad at me all the time?"

"I'm worried, not mad" he corrected her "And that's not unreasonable, you just being tactful, it was me who's being a bit worrywart" he admits honestly.

"A bit…?" Lory raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, A bit…." He confirmed himself firmly.

"Whatever floats your boat, darling~" Lory smile coquettishly to mock him, beyond her expectation she ends up riles up his d.e.s.i.r.e that he painstakingly put under control.

He clenched his teeth then push her down to the ground not forget to cover the back of her head with his hand from falling then kiss her fervently, Lory was baffled facing his sudden enthusiast, she didn't know what she's doing to provoked the Demon Lord. 

"Wife your husband is very hungry, would you be so kind to feed me" he snickered while whispering in her ears with a hoarse voice, instantly she knows she's in deep trouble.

'Uh – oh' she barely could handle him when he was in normal condition, what would happen with her if he gets so….eager?

Just before he could manage to drag Lory inside his ring, Mong Liu annoying voice called him nervously "Mi….Milord, Sanguan Jin Sheng asked you to meet him in his study room"

'WHAT THE HEL*!'
