Chapter 692 - The First Defeat

Zhao Li Xin finally able to persuade her to go back to their bedroom, he immediately ordered the servants to prepare all the new sweet he had promised before, Zhao Li Xin afraid if he didn't feed her quickly she would run back to the roof again because she bored, Zhao Li Xin has to admit that his wife is a little bit weird, but that's okay, who told him to helplessly in love with her.

Lory loves watching Zhao Li Xin brewing tea. His movement is smooth and elegant, whenever he moves he looks like was dancing, Lory tries to imitate him a few times but to no avail, she was too impatient and clumsy so she always ends up doing it too fast or too long, as a result, she completely ruined the tea taste. However Zhao Li Xin loved to watch her make a fool herself, he said she looked very adorable.

'Adorably stupid' obviously, Lory sighed.

Thankfully, the pink blossom tea and the sun citrus tea that was given by Zhao Li Xin is not difficult to brew the taste doesn't change much if you boil too long or too fast apart from the color, she only had the problem if she brews traditional tea, after ruin so much expensive teas leaves Lory finally give up, just like she gives up about cooking. She concludes that something just not meant to be.

The servants enter the room then place various kinds of sweet on the table, while other lit up the furnace to make the room warmer, after they had finished their jobs they left the room knowingly.

"Here drink your tea" Zhao Li Xin hand the teacup to her.

Lory received the warm tea, with a blissful smile. She took a small sip and she pursed her lips "Your tea is always better than mine" she complains.

"Really, I thought your tea is sweeter…" he smiled seductively.

Her face flushed like a boiling crab "I don't understand what you mean….." she muttered as she lowered her head, to avoid his passionate gaze, she afraid to get seduce again.

Zhao Li Xin chuckled, his Princess was so adorable, that he always had a hard time controlling himself in front of her.

Lory deliberately didn't cancel her spell, recently she realizes that whenever she took off her shapeshifter spell they always end up on the bed, he seems harder to control himself when she was in her original looks. It's strange because she thought based on the beauty standard of this world her appearance is a little bit weird because her skin is very pale just like snow, she didn't have glowing skin like most women here.

"Why are you still wearing your disguised in front of me" He looked at her with disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e.

Lory narrowed her eyes, knowing someone had bad intentions towards her "Why you have a problem with it?"

"No, but I think you look better with your original appearance" he make a charming smile to persuade her.

'Yeah right…' Lory rolled her eyes, from the way he looked at her how could she didn't know what Zhao Li Xin thinking. Fargo was right, all men are perverts.

"Later…" she replies briefly, then she took another bite of the caramel potato and his face glowed in delight.

Zhao Li Xin felt disappointed, nonetheless, he felt happy when Lory enjoying her meal, influence by her bright smile he took the same dish to give it a try, although this, not the type of food he would eat, but it didn't taste bad.

"Hey, what is the map investigation progress, did we found the place of the sword yet?" Lory shifts the conversation.

Zhao Li Xin paused for the second but he immediately back to normal then he says: "Yes, we are getting close, at least we know that the place at Hwang Wu continent" said Zhao Li Xin.

"Shall we go there after we finish our business in Yun Dao city?" Lory asked.

"Yes, but we need to be more cautious, Hwang Wut Continent it's not the same as any other continent" Zhao Li Xin's expression change a little.

Lory got curious because Zhao Li Xin used to act waywardly like the world was his backyard where he can come and go without care, so this was the first time he had shown his concern and this sparked her curiosity.

"Why, what's wrong with Hwang Wu continent?" Lory subconsciously leaned forward.

"First the place was more lawless not because the place was at war like Zhuan Dong continent but on contrary, the place was more advance compared to other continents, they have a lot of sects, at least thirty to forty when the last time I heard about it. Because every five years they would fight to determined who is the number one sect on Hwang Wu continent everyone was fighting for cultivating resource like madness" Zhao Li Xin smirked then he put down his chopstick and wash her mouth with tea to get rid of the sweetness from her tongue

"Is there no Emperor or King to rule the place and keep the order?"

"No, even if there any kingdom they would just become someone sect master puppet so it's better to think that they do not exist in a first-place" Zhao Li Xin waved his hand aimlessly then he continued "Due to the high competition between the sects, the people who living there was much stronger than other continents, even Yun Dao people was nothing compared to them, also the environment in Hwang Wu continent was far richer and the Qi also much denser so everyone cultivation naturally higher"

"In short, they don't need Gathering Qi array to increased their cultivation?" Lory snap her finger with an 'A-Ha!' look.

Zhao Li Xin shook his head "No, they don't"

Lory let out a long heave "Is everything going to be okay, the continent sounds dangerous…"

"That's why we need to be prepared before we go there, but you don't have to worry as long I'm with you nothing bad will happened to you" he stroked her head lovingly, but subconsciously he drew a long breath and his expression changed slightly, but everything happened too fast so Lory didn't have to time to grasp it and Zhao Li Xin already back to normal again

"Here, try the Dragon Beard candy!" he fed the candy and Lory opened her mouth before she knew it.

"You like it?" Zhao Li Xin smiled as he wiped the corner of her mouth from the rest of the sugar.

"Are you sure the location was Hwang Wu continent?" Bei Li Yan whining.

Wu San Bo turn around in indignant "You think I'm stupid?" he chided then he turns back again, in front of him there was a giant wooden table with a giant map, on top of the map there was the whole pieces old map, Wu san Bo examined the old map again using a compass and he sighed "I'm certain, that I'm not wrong…." Wu San Bo didn't look happy either.

Jin Hao who was sitting across the table also looked annoyed "I don't like that place" he snorted in disgust.

"Don't like? More like contempt for me!" Bei Li Yan crosses his hands in front of her c.h.e.s.t. "Do You remember that Milord hated that place so much he make a vowed that he will never take another step to that place ever again!"

"Of course I know, I was there…" Jin Hao massaged his temple, he already imagines how troublesome their next visit would be.

"What happened exactly? None of you told me what happened when Milord came to the Hwang Wu continent!" Wu San Bo complains wholeheartedly, Wu San Bo and Jiang Jin Wei were the last King palace to join the Hei Shen Sect unlike Mong Ki and Mong Yi who had served Zhao Li Xin since childhood, Jin Hao and Bei Li Yan also joined the sect when Zhao Li Xin was in his teens so they knew more about Zhao Li Xin than him and Jiang Jin Wei.

Jin Hao and Bei Li Yan Looked at each other as if they are discussing in silence, a moment later Jin Hao give Bei Li Yan nodded slightly to sign his agreement.

"Well…."Bei Li Yan rubbed his hands together then say: "It's all because that man….." he raised her index finger to the air.

"What man?" Wu San Bo jerked his head followed Bei Li Yan's finger as he looked up with a frown.

"Wei Zu Tian, The Sect master of Heaven's Gate" Bei Li Yan held his breath in disgust, while Jin Hao massaged his forehead as he got a sudden headache just by hearing that man's name.

Wu San Bo was stunned, he took sharp breaths, his eyes wide open and he covered his mouth with his fist "Wei Zu Tian – The sun Emperor – The one who is said to rule the entire Hwang Wu continent – the most stronger man on the Hwang Wu continent?!" he keeps raising his voice to the end of the sentence in shocked.

"Yup, that's the one…" Jin Hao answered lightly. 

Wei Zu Tian is like Zhao Li Xin, they both very strong, smart and they don't care about other people opinion and live their lives according to their own rule, they are both merciless and cruel, they could kill thousands of people without batting their eyelashes as if it was nothing.

The difference between Wei Zu Tian and Zhao Li Xin was when Zhao Li Xin like living in solitude without too much attachment to the world whereas Wei Zu Tian treats the world as his oyster, he took everything he wants, whatever he wanted, whenever he goes, whether it was women, treasures, money, nothing was too much to him.

The man was lived in the magnificent palace that could make any Ruler and Emperor ashamed, he has more than two hundreds beauty who always ready to entertain him, he indulged himself with gold, silver, and jewels, he indulged himself with only the best, the finest clothes, the best jewelry, the best food and many more. 

Just like Zhao Li Xin he also famous for his heavenly beauty and perfect figure, while Zhao Li Xin hides his face with a golden mask, Wei Zu Tian flaunts his beauty like a peac.o.c.k showing off its feathers.

"You mean milord have enmity with Wei Zu Tian?" 

"Uhmm…..you can say that" Bei Li Yan scratches his nose awkwardly.

"What do you mean?" Wu san bo thought Bei Li Yan's expression was weird.

"Anyhow, that man is the reasoned our Lord refused to step his foot to Hwang Wu continent ever again" Jin Hao cuts in.

"Wait a minute, if milord hated this man so much why he didn't kill that man?" Wu san bo tilted his head confusedly, based on Zhao Li Xin's temperament, Wei Ze Tian should have died a long time ago.

"He did…" Jin Hao raised his eyebrows "But, you have to remember, Milord was very young at that time not even past his twenty, and he still got cold poisoned in him, so….he lost" Jin Hao open his hands showing his defeated expression.

"WHAT!" Wu San Bo screamed in shock as if his whole world crumbling down.

In his minds Zhao Li Xin was invincible, even when he was sicked is still hard to find anyone that could match Zhao Li Xin strength, Zhao Li Xin existance is like an immovable mountain in Wu San Bo heart so is hard for him to imagine that Zhao Li Xin had lost before.
