Chapter 118 - The Crimson Lightning

On the next few days go by in a blink of an eyes Zhao Li Xin look tired and haggard because of too much training? No, not because of that but because too much talking and teasing from the red Dragon, every day he would ask how much 'progress' in his relationship, how far he had gone, would he expected to see mini Zhao Li Xin anytime soon, Huo long was surprised and disappointed when Zhao Li Xin said they only kiss once.

Next days other than teach him to recognize his emotion to control the Flame, Huo Long teach him to court a woman, because he talks from inhuman view some of his advice is.....inappropriate, make Zhao Li Xin frown in disdained but the Dragon didn't care for all he know Zhao Li Xin is moving too slow what if someone snatching his woman? The world will be purged in Flame then…is not as he cares but the Dragon didn't want him to return to his old Empty and gloomy self.

The bolt of fire floating on his palm, he learned to control the size and the temperature of the fire, just like Huo Long said when his enraged the flame would be uncontrollable even enough to kill himself but when he thinks about how much he wants to protect Lory the flame become tamed and easy to control but he must hold to that thought to able control the flame.

He remembers the first time he met her in asea of Bluebell flower, his mouth slightly curved the firebolt on his palm twitching, gradually the flame transform become fiery Bluebell flower, Huo Long eyes lit up excitedly.

"Nice boy!! You control the flame even better than I thought!!" Huo Long snickering "Is it because of the power of love?" he teasing Zhao Li Xin.

Zhao Li Xin stifles "Perhaps," he said casually.

Huo Long eyes widened, the boy has learned to encounter his teasing, The dragon eyes become moist he has never been so proud, his boy is getting more like a real human now. suddenly Huo Long body glowing with a dimmed red light than a moment later the giant body shrinking into the shape of a human, a handsome human in his late twenty with a muscular body with red eyes and red fiery hair.

"What do you think boy," he said smugly.

Zhao Li Xin was stunned the next moment his face becomes dark as coal "Can you wear some robes?"

He ignores Zhao Li Xin's disgusted expression "Do I look awesome?" Hua Long rests his hand on his waist and laughs out loud his bare bottom jiggling together with his laughter, make Zhao Li Xin wants to vomit.

'Is it too late to kill him now?'

"Okay, okay, don't pout, you are a man, why are you pouting so much?" Huo Long waves his hand then a flame engulfs his body the next moment the flame turns to a grand red robe with intricate golden fire embroidery on his sleeve adds more grandeur to his appearance

"Come with me" he beckoned Zhao Li Xin.

Zhao Li Xin with expressionless face follow him from behind, they walk down the cliff then they arrive at the shores, Huo Long raised his hand and a small path emerges from beneath the sea, he walks forward with Zhao Li Xin following him, in front of them there's a small island with a majestic golden pagoda stand above it, even in a cloudy day the pagoda still shined brightly.

"You've been here before isn't it?" Huo Long rubbed his chin while his other hand hides behind his back.

"Yes, when the first time I come to this place," said Zhao Li Xin with a flat tone, his not too impressed with the golden pagoda.

Huo Long open the pagoda front door, they welcome by a gold chamber, golden wall, golden pillar, golden floor even golden furniture, everything is goll from the bottom to the high ceiling.

"Why I never saw you sleep here before?" Huo Long looks puzzled, isn't human like gold?

"Don't like it…" Zhao Li Xin said shortly, what kinda human can stay in a place like this, it's fine for a few hours but it's drive you crazy if its too long, the gold is blinding his eyes, he still can see it even when he close his eyes, how could anyone relaxed in this place, the one who created this place must be crazy.

The one who created this place is Huo Long and yes, he can't be called normal.

When both of them walk on the spiral golden stairs, a mountain o golden chest fill with gold, gems stones and crystal scattered everywhere like a trash, Zhao Li Xin remember he had taken out a quite sum of treasure when he first establish Hei Shen sect but it seems the treasure in this place didn't decrease at all, Zhao Li Xin click his tongues exasperatedly, this place is messy as ever then he shifts his gaze from the treasures with annoyed expression.

It's funny how Lory and Zhao Li Xin grew up surrounded by treasure and luxury but none of them give so little value to it. while Lory though the treasure in her Kingdom is not hers but it belongs to her people so she have to attachment to her possession other than the one who gives personally to her, that's why she has no problem living outside her palace and live her life as a hunters.

And Zhao Li Xin doesn't have too much desire to begin with, when his necessity fulfilled he had nothing else to desire, he had no preference in clothing or jewelry, he can create his own weapon, talisman, and amulet, he doesn't have particular need to live in big or small manor, he rarely eat and have to preference in food too, and most of all he doesn't like women. The only thing bothering him is his poison after lory cured him, he wants to spend all his wealth to her but the woman also not interested too much to it and so his wealth keeps increasing without know how to spend it and lately it becomes a hassle.

The underground treasury can not accommodate the Lord's wealth so Zhao Li Xin moves most of his wealth in his rings maybe that's why the wealth inside the pagoda didn't look decreased at all.

"Huo long rammed to the shelf, he throws away scrolls and book all over the place, Zhao Li Xin didn't bother him, he takes a small stool, yes the stool made from gold too.

Zhao Li Xin lean his cross his leg, his body lean forward while both of his hand rest on his thigh, he watch Huo Long make the room messier than before for someone who used to be neat Zhao Li Xin feel uncomfortable inside the room, he wonder how long this Lizard would mess up the room, he missed his little savior very much.

"Here it is!!" he exclaimed.

Zhao Li Xin watches the excited Luo Long indifferently, he just glads it's over and he can go home right away. Huo Long ignored Zhao Li Xin's flat expression, he spread the scroll on the table near him "You see this!" he points at the mountain this is where the sacred sword resides 'The crimson Lightning'" Huo long beckoned Zhao Li Xin to get closer.

Zhao Li Xin reluctantly walks toward him "I can make my own weapon" Zhao Li Xin said lazily.

"But not like this boy, this weapon is created by from the bones of the first Dragon who ruled this world, there's no weapon like this in the whole world"

"This map, how long it's been here?" Zhao Li Xin remains indifferent.

Huo Long pursed his lips "Emm….two thousand…..three thousand years…I think?" he tilted his head.

Zhao Li Xin sighs "You know the world has changed so much, this map is unreliable" Zhao Li Xin walks away from the table nonchalantly, he wants to go home immediately.

"Wait, boy!!" Huo Long tries to stop him.

"I don't need it," Zhao Li Xin said casually, it gives to much trouble to find the weapon he not necessary need.

"If you want to save your woman, you need this weapon!!" Huo Long holler.

Zhao Li Xin pace halted, he turns around "You know her?" he questions Huo Long.

Huo long shakes his head "Not exactly but I hear about her from someone…" he sits on the table casually "She's not like us, she's from…faraway place"

"I know, what do you know about her?" Zhao Li Xin's faces become serious.

This man only becomes serious when it something involves his woman, he feels happy and sad at the same time, Huo Long sigs deeply "She is blessed with love but she also cursed by the love itself, she meant to die for love" Huo Long breath heavily, that girl story is quite tragic "She bound herself with cursed so she can save the man she loved"

Zhao Li Xin eyes brimmed with rage, Huo Long make exasperated sighs "Calm down, it's her brother, twin brother to be precise"

His rage dissipated as fast it appears "She had a twin brother?" he stunned.

"Yes, his Brother meant to die for the glory of his world and his Kingdom" Huo Long eyes brimmed with respect to whoever that King is, for all he knows about human they always a savage, selfish and greed creatures who are worst than beast, he never knew a King would die for his people.

"Kingdom?" Zhao Li Xin stunned again.

"Of Course, she is a princess you fool!" he ridiculed Zhao Li Xin.
