Chapter 79 - Pick Up The Brat

Back at Xinjing manor, the garden still illuminated by purple lights, the orbs gather above the sleeping girl a second later the orbs was sucked into her body and then her body illuminated by the same purple lights, the strong wind twirl around her, everyone watching with shocked expression some even hide behind the pillar to cover themselves from the strong wind they instantly felt something dangerous soon will happen, Zhao Li Xin was push a few steps by the wind while Mong ki and Mong Yi stand in front of Zhao Li Xin protecting him from any danger.

The wind twirl getting stronger and stronger and then a second later everything quite down but before anyone can comprehend what happened the shock wave blown up, some weak people throw off a few meters away only people who have strong cultivation like the King's palace, the Mong's brother and Zhao Li Xin remain in the same position but even them still need to raise their hand to make barrier to protect themselves from the heavy shock.

the shocked over as fast as it comes, leaving everything in the garden on wrecked like it was hit by a hurricane but only the sleeping girl remain untouched, the bellflower around her withered and turns to dust, Zhao Li Xin push the Mong's brothers away, he runs at her anxiously only after he sees her unhurt he sighs in relief.

All of a sudden Zhao Li Xin startled when he saw her finger moving, he carefully touches her hand as if it's the most fragile thing he ever touches, her finger then slightly hook with his finger, Zhao Li Xin stunned but relief at the same time.

"Ri Yi…" he whispers to her "Ri Yi wake up…."

Lory feels her eyes become heavy, why it's so hard to open her eyes "Xin...." she said faintly.

Her voice is weak but Zhao li Xin can hear her clearly, he quickly pulled her close to him "I'm here..." he caresses her cheek softly. Lory still struggles to open her eyes, her eyebrows furrow because she unable to open her eyes quickly, then slowly she opens her eyes, the first thing she sees is the most beautiful man she has ever seen in her life, sharp eyes, straight nose, thin lips, strong jawline, nice chin, what a sight to be seen...

Zhao Li Xin worry when she did not make a sound "Ri Yi, are you hurt somewhere…..do you recognize me?" he felt another surged of anxiety, for a normal person sleeping for almost a week how could she be okay.

"Fu fu fu~ I know you…..my Li Xin…" she said with half daze, while Zhao Li Xin feels his heart was hit by an arrow and then he froze on the spot.

The mong's brother confuses why their lord's reaction is weird, Mong Yi nudges her brother "Is Miss Luo awake?"

Mong Ki nods his head "I believe so…"

Mong Yi confuse even more "Why the Lord reaction is weird?"

Mong ki frowned "Isn't that his normal reaction in front of Miss Luo?"

Mong Yi feels stupid, he smiles embarrassedly "Hehehe…you right"

Later on, Lory was carried to the Zhao Li Xin room, she was checked thoroughly by Jin Hao and monitor closely by him. Jin hao only let her eat light food because her body weak condition, Lory doesn't know why everyone makes a fuss especially Zhao Li Xin who's his eyebrows kneaded together whenever he looks at her, he keeps asking her if she alright, does she feel unwell or she hurt somewhere, the truth is she feels dizzy from all the question but she not dare refuted him when Girsha told her she sleep for six days, she was stunned she thought she only sleep for two days who knew she's sleep that long no wonder Zhao Li Xin is worry, she feels bad for him that's why she just obediently do whatever he told her to do.

Lory was eating porridge on the bed while Zhao Li Xin sits on the arhat chair drink his wine while watching her eating enough food, while sh eat her porridge she feels something is missing, like she forgot about something, but what is it...

Mong Yi knocks the door softly after Zhao Li Xin says 'come in' he entered the room with a tray. On the tray there's a three-layer bamboo box with hot steamed smoke above it, Mony Yi knew this is her favorite dish and jin hao allowed her to eat it but only the one who fills with veggies.

Lory's eyes bulged widely suddenly she's struck by epiphany "JIAOZI!!" she shriek.

Mong Yi smiles proudly at her "Yes it is!" Mong Yi opens the box happily.

"I need to pick up Jiao Zi!!"

"But, Jiaozi (dumpling) is here…" Mong Yi confuses why Miss Luo looks agitated.

Lory doesn't have time to explain, she puss the small table from her then she got up from the bed "That brat waiting for me!" Zhao Li Xin worries she stumbles from standing too fast, he held her waist "What brat?" he never knew Lory knew anyone except people in his manner and he knew it for sure, he had been stalk…..push' watching her the whole time.

"The brat I met in my dream, she needs my help!!" Lory anxiously said.

'Dream' Zhao Li Xin looks upset "Is she the reason you were unconscious for a week?" he sounds furious.

Lory startled "She….she doesn't mean to…." That's a lie, that brat definitely meant to, Lorry knew she need to appeased this 'Demon Lord' if not forget about saving here, she can even get out of her room "She just innocent child, I promise to help her….please, I won't do anything dangerous" she amazed how much she can lie, that brat is not innocent and the place she needs to pick her up is definitely dangerous.

Lory never learn to seduce a man, but she good acting pitifully in front of Fargo and the gank if not how could she get away from trouble most of the time, Lory pressed her hand on his chest and blink her big eyes at him cutely "Will you help me?"

Mong Yi stands on the corner he watches his Lord and he sighs helplessly 'Milord will be lost again…..'

Zhao Li Xin maintain his expressionless face, he calmly said "Sure….." deep down he exhilarated she ask for his help, that girl rarely asked anything, so when he gave the chance to show off how could he let the opportunity go.

Lory's eyes glint with joy, to get where the brat is she can't depend on her power and Girsha power also bind with her although he can a bit of power but who knew what they would encounter at that place, she needs someone reliable and strong and who is a better candidate than her 'Boss'

"Thank you, I will never forget this!!" Lory feels grateful Zhao Li Xin always kind and pampered her, she promised herself one day if she has a chance she will protect him with all she got.

Zhao Li Xin agrees to accompany her to the ancient tomb, he is stunned at first when she said her destination is the infamous ancient tomb, coincidently yesterday the mist around the tomb mysteriously disappeared without a trace but then again is that really coincidence.

But for whatever reasoned people were elated, when Liang Zu emperor said they need to get inside ancient tomb to save the Princess they feel hesitant, they don't know how to get inside when they can't even get close to the tomb but after the new about poisoned mist disappeared how could they not feel happy, they feel they just one step closer to gain the hefty rewards from the Emperor, they even dreaming to marry the beautiful princess himself. While people immersed with their greed to obtaining the beautiful Princess, another princess sits near the window frame.

She sits on the couch while leaning on the window frame, she covers herself with a thick blanket and in her hands, she holds the mug with wot sweet lemon tea on it. the night is not so cold but if she not keep her warms a certain Lord with nagging her nonstop. The night sky very clear today, there are more stars in the sky from before she even sees shooting stars, Lory takes that as a good luck sign, she unconsciously smiles remember a certain brat.

"Why you still not rest at this hour…." Although the reprimand her but he stares at her with gentle eyes.

"I can't sleep, u know I sleep too much"

Zhao Li Xin sigh, she does sleep too much. He fixes her blanket and then sits next to her. Lory stares back at the night sky whenever she watching the night sky all different kinda feeling come for her, sadness, loneliness, happiness, pained, joy and lose, it's a bittersweet feeling that sometimes it's hurt but sometimes it brings contentment, in the end, she could never look away.

"Do you miss your home?" Zhao Li Xin suddenly asked.

Lory shift her gaze and tilted her head asking 'What he mean'

"When I first met you among the Bluebell flower, I thought you are the moon fairy" he chuckles "you know the story said when it full moon at midnight when most people already sleep, the moon fairy would appear, but the moon fairy is shy maiden so no one ever saw them but if you fortunate to meet one of them you must steal her shawl and hide it so she can't return to the moon, when that happened you can take her as a bride and you will have a good luck for seven generation"

Lory giggles softly "Isn't that kidnapping" it's a quite dark story if you ignore the romance "Wait, is that what are you planning to do with me?"

Zhao Li Xin laugh, he not admitted it but he did not deny it either. Lory twitches her mouth she thought he was joking but she never knew he seriously did plan to kidnap her but because he realizes the girl not hold prejudice with him and naturally easy to persuade he dismissed that idea if Lory knew this she will be offended.

Zhao Li Xin holds her hand then he stares at her deeply "You….you not from this world aren't you?"

Lory not answering, she only stares back at him with sadden expression, Zhao Li Xin pulls her on his embrace "It's okay…" he stroked her hair "I don't care who you are or where you from, I just need you to promised me one thing"

Lory leaves his warm embrace, her eyes staring at him with a question looks.

"Never leave me, wherever you may go take me with you...can you do that?"

Lory tilted her head then sweet smiles blooming in her face then she nodded slowly "Okay…"
