Chapter 84 - Someone Lost

The more they travel the thicker the tree is, the root tree protruding from the moist ground make their footing less stable not to mention it's getting more slippery, the air around them is dry and humid if they normal people they would be sweat like crazy now but her group filled with people with high cultivation so none of them drop a sweat except Lory.

Zhao Li Xin feel bad for her he keeps asking her if she wants to get rest or if she wants to be carried, Lory balked the last offering strongly, then she comfort him multiple time that she's okay and she has the amulet from Zhao Li Xin so her body didn't feel that bad, although the air is humid her body still comfortable only because she moved too much she can't help to sweat.

'BRAGH!!'

Ming Ru Yi falls again, everyone only glances her for a second then turn their head back and continue walking no one bother to help her.

Just like Lory though her dress is suicide for entering the forest, she really not understand what was she's thinking wearing that kinda dress if she wants to stay maintain her image and stay pretty why went inside the forest in the first place, she should stay in the city and go to the tea house.

Ming Ru Yi's face becomes rigid she already passes being embarrassed after the fifth time she falls, her butt, knee, and her palm is hurt so much and her dress ripped by a tree branch and become more tattered, her face drenched with sweat but none of them pity her.

Only once a while the servant with dark robes would give her waterskin to drink and stick to help her walk, but her shoes are not made for a walk in the forest at the end she still slip a few times.

Lory watches the Princess helplessly unless someone carries her she would keep falling but who's gonna carry her, forget about people in her group is good enough they give her something to drink and walk, they can do any more than that.

A deafening boom loudly hear nearby, the sound of people screaming and fallen trees increasingly hear by them, someone must be fighting something in front of them, Zhao Li Xin grab her waist and jump at the nearest branch tree, Mong Ki and the other also follow Zhao Li Xin, they jump from tree to tree in a high speed, the sound is increasing and the sound of loud roar and heavy blow can be heard clearly.

In front of them, a dozens man with silver armour holding spears fight with a large beast with dark fur and big claw, the beast looks like a grizzly with steroid. The beast rises with his two legs and use his front leg to tear the man in front of it, even though the beast's body is massive but his movement is fast and sharp, more people with spear can't dodge the beast claw was shred into pieces, people scream in panic and anger.

"What is that?" Lory stunned.

"The earth bear, seems like she already at the profound level beast," said Zhao Li Xin, while putting her down slowly, from the tall tree branch Lory can see clearly what happened below, the people seem familiar to her "Isn't that the fancy group?" Lory nudges Zhao Li Xin but the man frowned with a blank look, Lory recognizes that expression is useless asking him.

She sees Mong Ki near her than she called him "Hey, isn't that the fancy group?"

Mong Ki nods his head "They are!" he confirmed.

"Should we help them?" Lory asked Zhao Li Xin.

Zhao Li Xin seems reluctant "Troublesome….." he murmured.

"More troublesome than having Liangzu princess in our tail?" Lory raised her eyebrows.

Zhao Li Xin forgot about the princess who's following them for few hours only then he realizes if he saves that fancy group he can drop that useless princess back to her group

"Mong Ki, Mong Yi help them!"

"Yes Milord!" in one swoop they have gone, two black figure jump from one tree to another then when they close to the roaring beast the black figures take a dive and punch the beast with their fist, the beast staggering then he fall to the side with loud 'Boom' the people who were fighting desperately with the beast was shocked but then they realized someone save them.

Mong Ki and Mong Yi didn't care how they see them, they just here because their Lord orders them. A few minutes later the beast back on his feet, he makes deafening roar releasing his fury the beast see the prominent threat, the beast bares his giant fangs to intimidate his opponent, but Mong Yi and Mong Ki expression not change.

The moment the beast runs towards them the mong's brother takes out their swords and in one swoosh Mong Ki and Mong Yi slice the beast into pieces, the blood spurt like a fountain and the beast falls on the ground like a lump of chunk meat.

People watch the two Mong's brother with awe, the beast was killed less than three minutes whereas they lost almost a half of their soldier even this young Lord is not as powerful as their proclaimed, they all scared and shivering after they realize the beast is not easy to subdue and blood is everywhere.

The fancy guard protector is the renown General Fu Xiao Jin, he is the top General of Liang Zu Kingdom, his today main job is protecting the Third princess, on the way the princess and her bunch of useless fanboy decide to subdue a beast core without listening to the General warning they left by themselves, then the stupid Princess and her stupid fanboy got caught up by the beast and chased by an angry earth bear and this what happened.

General Fu Xiao Jin is an upright military person, straight forward and honest he knew he owed to these two stranger he, not an ungrateful person who didn't know how to say thank you, he approaches the Mong ki with long strides then he cups his fist courteously "Thank you for your help Mister, if not because of the two of you I don't know how many comrades I would be lost for today" he said with humble.

"Is not us you must grateful, we just follow our Lord order," said Mong Ki solemnly.

"Lord?" just when he asks he see a man with perfect carved face and beautiful cold eyes land smoothly on the ground while carrying a woman within his right arms, two more men follow him from behind one man like gentle diety, another one beautiful with flirtatious smile, Fu Xiao Jin certain they not ordinary men.

"Milord" Mong Ki and Mong Yi move on the side while slightly bow when Zhao Li Xin arrived, one looks Fu xiao Jin knew this man is powerful beyond his reason and he can't offend him even the slightest or the consequences would be dire.

"My name is Fu Xiao Jin, I'm the General of Liang Zu Kingdom, thank you for your helping hand great Lord" he not ashamed to bow I front of Zhao Li Xin, it's natural for the weak to respect the strong but the stupid young master who already recovers from his shock didn't feel the same.

"You are the impudent man I saw before!!" the young master who already lost his neat and clean looks point his finger at Zhao Li Xin, he is the young man who was got hit by Zhao Li Xin and every one appearance.

Fright fluttered on Fu Xiao Jing chest the moment that stupid young master point at Zhao Li Xin, these man background definitely not simple and judging by his servant's magnificent power he can only guess how strong Zhao Li Xin is, someone with that temper and power how could they afford to offend them.

Lory ignores the annoying young master, he approaches the Fu Xiao jing who seems more reasonable "Are you the third princess Ming Ru Yi guardian?" Lory asked politely.

Fu Xiao Jing see her friendly manner he becomes calmer "I'am young Miss, but unfortunately, we lost the princess when the earth bear attacking us"

"Oh, don't worry about that, we meet the Princess on the way here, she...." Lory looks behind here, but Ming Ru Yi is nowhere to be found, she looked left and right and she still can't find her.

'Where the HECK is she??'

Lory glances at Zhao Li Xin but he just frowned with the same blank look like before, he too seems forgot, then she shifts her gaze to Bei Li Yan and Jin Hao but the two of them shrug their shoulder with 'Don't ask me' face, when she looks at Mong Ki and Mong Yi they also look blank.

'DAMN, we lost the Christmas girl!!'

Lory smile awkwardly at Fu Xiao Jin, this is like when she lost Jay's birthday cake on his birthday. Fu Xiao Jin did not dare to question her further he just stares at Lory with a patient look who only makes her more awkward, suddenly someone yelp

"Third Princess, you are here!!"

Lory sigh in relief "Master Fu, look the princess is alive and..." she wants to say 'well' but when Ming Ru Yi appears she's leaning to the walking stick with a tattered dress, her face pale cover with sweat and dirt she seems exhausted and disarray.

Ming Ru Yi is in a brink of cry when she sees Fu Xiao Jing and her few fanboys she running towards them bawl like a bullied child.

Who said a handsome man is kind and gentle the handsome man she knows is cruel and mean they left her without saying anything if not because her cultivation is not that bad how could she follow them.

"Your Highness!!" the young man overjoyed when Ming Ru Yi running to his embrace, the other man who also the fanboy look at him with jealousy "Princess why you look like this?" he see her tattered dress and his imagination going wild "It's you, it's must be all your fault, what have you done to her highness!!"

Maybe because they didn't do anything that's why the Princess looks like that.
