Chapter 151 - Morning Stroll

"You don't lack anything, what do you need for?" Lory rests her head on his chest.

He stroked the back of her head gently "That what I thought too, but after I met you I realizes I lacked a lot of things" he pulled her closed then he wrapped his arms around her "I begin to desire a lot of things, I start to feel a lot of things I don't understand…I never knew I'm such a clueless person?"

She giggles when she heard complaining, Zhao Li Xin is known as cold and indifferent so is weird listen him complaining about his owned flaw "It's fine, no one in this world has everything and no one is know everything, there's so little we could on our own that's why we need other people….."

"Hm…I think you right" he smiles inwardly, his Princess is wiser than the most people he knew.

"Of course, I am!" she said smugly.

Zhao Li Xin chuckles he inhaled the faint scent from the top of her head then suddenly he asked her "Why is your name Lory?"

Lory looks up to Zhao Li Xin "In this world, is there a big blue star who rises on the west? it's mostly seen above the ocean"

"Hmm…I don't have much knowledge about astronomy" he rubs his chin while pondering.

"Well in my world that blue stars called Orient, in the old days the sailor used that star as a guidance when they lost in the sea because the star is big and bright is easy to find even in a cloudy night, that stars has brought many lost sailors back to their home, and my mother name is Lorenna my Father combined both name and Lorenna and orient and you got my name Lorient…."

"So, is that your real name, what about Lory?"

"That is shortening from Lorient, afterall Lorient sounds too….royalty and formal so most people who close to me just call me Lory" her mouth pursed, only a few people who called her Lory and even fewer called her like that outside Cestine Palace.

"By the way what do you want for reward anyway?" she suddenly shifts the conversation, she feel slightly guilty for interfering with his decision about Hei Shen Sect matters.

Zhao Li Xin smiles become brighter, he lifts her waist easily as if she weightless he put her on his lap then he wrapped her waist with both his hand like koala then he rest his head near her bosom "Stay like this for the day" he takes a long heaved with his eyes closed.

Lory has mixed feeling having him bury his face on her chest, his chest already touch her bosom just a few more he would touch the most sensitive area on her chest, but acted as shy maiden only make him teased her more so it's better acted nonchalant about it, but her beating heart clearly told Zhao Li Xin her real feeling but the Lord only smiles faintly without letting her go.

Lory faces already red like a ripe tomato when his warmth breath on her chest send heat all over her body like electricity, suddenly he lifts his head towards her, he smiles dazzlingly then he said with gentle baritone voice while looking at her chest "Oh, it's getting bigger…"

"...…."

'Is he harassing me now?"

Somewhere far from hustle and bustle Sun Jan city, a great Manor stands majestically the courtyard fill with peach blossom tree and man-made pond with floating pink lotus adorn the garden beautifully, the beautiful maids with soft green uniform half running towards the woman inside the small pavilion, the beautiful woman with light peach hanfu look anxious her hand twist the handkerchief on her hands.

"Young Miss, it's no good….the young Master condition is getting worse!"

"What? How could he getting worst?" her leg becomes limp she almost falls on the floor, the maid quickly helps her young miss to stand.

"Is the medication from the moon tower Sect help nothing?" she said with grief.

"The elder said, it's only calmed the Young Master for a while but the lady of the moon tower didn't know what kinda illness the young master had" the maids also worried.

"Can anyone help him?" She murmured to herself, her fiancée condition become like for months she worried soon or later this illness would ruin him, she already used all her resources to help him and so her fiancée family but everything is useless. When she heard about the rising power of Moon Tower she thought they could help him, the rumor said The moon tower is filled with talented alchemist and physician she put all hope to them but now once again she falls in desperation.

"Young Miss, what about Hei Shen Sect?" the maid nervously asked, "You said you had met with the Sect master once, maybe they would help you?"

"It's a long time ago, and it is not like we become close I just met them once, you also knew the rumor about Hei Shen Sect's behavior, they are not someone who likes interacting with other people…." she shakes her head weakly.

The woman is Yang Xi Ying who had her ex-lover Han Yuan make troubles with Lory and Zhao Li Xin once, after what happened she cut her relationship with Han yuan completely but who could have known that man is so vile he begin slandering her reputation.

Even though she can clear up the rumor but the damaged is done, some people still believed the rumor one of the reasons because some people envy her, but thinks had change better when she met Li Mo Zhen the young master of Jiu Yun sect.

"Can we at least asked first….Young miss, I'm worried about your future if something happened with young Master Li," the maid genuinely care for her Young Miss, they had grown up together, her mother is the young Miss nanny that's why they become more like a sister than servant and master.

Her Young Miss in the surface might look overbearing and arrogant but deep down she's very kind and gentle, she is hard on the most but soft in the heart, in the past the young Miss was taken advantages by worthless man once, fortunately, the relationship ends before they get married but the man still slander her reputation make the young Miss hard to find a good husband but then the young Miss met with this great young master who cares for her dearly.

"You right, I have to try even if I must give up my life I will not regret it" she clenched her fist tightly.

"Young Miss don't say that, didn't you said the lady who accompanies master Long is a good woman, she might help you if you asked nicely!" the maids encouraged her.

"Yes, she is" she can only hope that lady behavior still the same, some people could change after sometimes just like Han Yuan but she didn't have many options now.

"Let's find Hei Shen sect where about now I will talk with Jiu Yun elder about this too…"

"Yes, young miss!"

The next day Lory eventually release from the 'Demon Lord' clutch she never thought when he said for the day it's literally for the whole day except the bathroom time, he clutches her like baby koala even at the meal times he still force her to sit on his laps even though she's not the shy type of women especially compare to conservative women but having him breathe so close to her is stimulated her inner forbidden though and plus she feel something hard poked her but, she convinces herself he hide secret weapon down there, she feel sudden rush to her head probably the nosebleed might come again!

This morning Zhao Li Xin cultivating again and she knew it would take the whole days before he got out, out of bored she decide to take a stroll alone, of course, she won't leave completely alone.

"Brother Mong Yiii!" she shouts to the air aimlessly, she knew he is somewhere close.

"Yes, young miss!" suddenly he appears from thin air while kneeling courteously.

"I want to go out, can you come with me?" she smiles kindly.

"Right now? Is the Lord allowed it?" he suddenly frightful.

Lory tilt her head "I haven't asked him but I don't think he wouldn't allow it, is not like I have people wants to kill me anyway" she laughs about it, but Mong Yi give her 'Are you sure?' looks, meanwhile Lory looking back at him with 'So someone wants to kill me?' looks, it was quiet for a moment then Lory give up she waved her hand carelessly.

"Can you coordinated my safety with the other shadow guard, I'll take responsibility if something happened, I just gonna left for two...." Lory shut her mouth when Mong Yi give her disapproved looks, then she corrects her words

"One hour…?"

Mong Yi nods his head with the satisfied expression "I talked about it first with brother Mong Ki and the others, please wait for the moment…"

"Sure!" she answers lightly "Don't be so....long…" but Mong Yi already disappeared, Lory can only sigh and back to her room.

Maybe some women might though she would feel suffocated being restricted like this by Zhao Li Xin but as a princess, she's been used by this especially if she wanted to left the safety of her Kingdom, even when she becomes overly strong she would still be accompanied by Girsha or her bother and Archknight.

In the past, Fargo used to said to her 'overestimated your owned power is the recipe of disaster' that's why she always prepares herself thoroughly. And now she is a weak as 'Rabbit' just like Girsha said, she might not have an enemy but Zhao Li Xin has a lot and who knows which one of them got news about her.

She will never forgive herself if someone used her to hurt Zhao Li Xin, she is also overprotective when it comes to her loved one.

After a while someone knocks on her bedroom door, she unhurried open the door "Yes….."

"Miss, I heard you want to take a stroll?" he smiles coquettishly that can make an idol run and hide their face for shammed.

"Master Bei?" Lory gasped.

"I will join with you for a stroll, call me Brother Bei how about we pretend to be sibling….~" he smiles coyly at her.

'Sure, I'll be your ugly sister then…'
