Chapter 181 - Meeting with Azure Dragon

Lory is not weird in bad ways on the contrary she looks….oddly beautiful, Yes, she looks different but when he remembers the story he heard when he was a child about a fairy or diety about their odd and mesmerizing beauty he imagines it would be something like her.

Pale skin like a snow, dark bluish wavy hair like a blooming flower, clear big eyes with purple iris like an amethyst gem and small pink full lips, her face is small and delicate and when she's sleeping she looks like a jade statue, flawless and unreal, secretly he was glad that Lory hides her appearance this far if not, who knew how many men would be spellbound by her unique beauty.

"There's nothing weird with your face" Zhao Li Xin chuckles he pulls the blanket away from her face "And you've been sleeping for days and nothing in your face I haven't seen it so why bother to hide it now?"

Her pink lips pout cutely well at least for Zhao Li Xin she looks cute you want to get out of here?" he asked softly.

Lory nod her head, she does curious what is it looks like outside, Zhao Li Xin help her to stands then she lead her outside they climb down on the spiral stairs once again a month of precious gemstone and gold scattered away on the floor like trash because the box is too full, Lory never blinded by luxury but still, she was shocked by so many treasures inside the room.

"Is it all… yours?" Lory is blown away with so much gold in one room as if she was living inside the 'King Midas' castle or perhaps he is the spirit of this place, that would make sense!

"Yes…" he answers casually "You like it? just take whatever you like…" he said nonchalantly.

"No, I'm good…" she shrugs her shoulder.

If there anything Lory and Zhao Li Xin share in common is their lack of interest with wealth but strangely wealth always sticks on them like a glue whether they like it or not.

"Where do you have all this gold?" she wonder since she rarely sees him doing business other than cultivating or hearing a report from his subordinated with half daze expression Lory never saw him doing anything business-like.

"Some gold is already here from the beginning and some from my business that Wu San Bo taking care of" Zhao Li Xin leads her to get out of this bling-bling room, his eyes begin to get hurt.

"Oh, how is business anyway? you never told me anything" ask Lory while rubbed her eyes, to much bling make her a little bit hazy.

"It's good, we move our business from the Jiang Wei Kingdom to the Liangzu Kingdom we thrive even more since we got there that brat give us a lot of leeways to create business, of course, that also means we help Liangzu economy at the end is a win-win solution for both of us," said Zhao Li Xin.

"In short, you got richer…" Lory teasing him.

"We got richer" he slyly smiles.

Zhao Li Xin open the door and the warm wind hit her face Lory was stunned by the view in front of her, THERE'S A SEA! They are in the middle of the sea turns out they are inside a golden pagoda, the whole pagoda is made by gold from the top to the bottom, who is so crazy by gold who build that place and why the hell they are in the island in the middle of the sea.

"Are you sure we are inside the ring?" Lory was dumbfounded, what kinda sorcerer who made a place like this?

Zhao Li Xin patted her head to assure her but suddenly the seawater ripples strongly then something burst out from beneath the sea in Lory's eyes it was the first she saw is giant red scales glittering on the air suddenly the water almost splash on her face but Zhao Li Xin quickly cover her face with his sleeve.

Lory slowly pulls down Zhao Li Xin's arms and what she saw is two giant red ruby eyes staring at her "You finally awake" Huo Long said as gentle as he could.

Lory's mouth opens slightly she was shocked because the creature sounds gentle and why he looks awkward on her.

"Thank you…..for your concern?" Lory said confusedly.

The Dragon eyes turn soft "I'm sory for scaring you, My name is Huo Long I'm the Azure Dragon who resides in this boy rings" he said with a low voice.

"Dragon?" Lory's face turns somber he didn't have a good opinion after what happened with Nazareth.

Huo Long seems to realize her changed expression "Wait, I'm a good Dragon, look! I won't hurt you I never hurt anyone, no wait there is this guy….but his piss me off, and that other guy, wait! Trust me, I'm a good Dragon!" the more he talks the more he got flustered and Zhao Li Xin didn't try to help him at all he even look him suspiciously when he said he never hurt anyone.

Huo Long never like human other than Zhao Li Xin but after he knew about Lory and what she had been through he can't help to attracted by her, it's been a very long time since he met a human with a bright soul like her. he wants to get to know her better and after all, she is the woman that could change that ice block.

Huo Long didn't want her to hate him because of the crazy dragon in her world who destroy everything she loves.

Lory never saw a Dragon in the panic mood before and he does didn't look like a dragon she knew, the face and the body of this dragon are so different from the dragon in her world especially that gentle warm eyes.

"I believe you…" Lory said softly.

Huo Long who was in panic state suddenly heaved in relief "Thank You, why don't I transform myself so we can talk easily" Huo Long body engulf with light and a few seconds later a man with lavish red robes, red hair and red eyes appear in front of Lory "How do I look ?" he posed smugly in front of Lory.

Lory smile turn stiffed "You…..look HOT…" Lory raised her thumbs awkwardly.

"Annoying!" Zhao Li Xin scoffed.

"Thank you, thank you!" he smiles proudly while ignore disdained gaze "Let me show you around, this is your first time right? here take the map, look I mark all the good place in this place" Huo Long acted like a professional 'tour guide' he make sure she knows all the best place in this realm.

"Looks there are a hot spring, fiery fruit orchard, and red flaming flower garden, you like flower don't you? And this…"

Zhao Li Xin mouth twitch, what a different treatment! The first time he came here Huo Long threat him to eat him then he tries to make him as his servant and where is this flower garden, he never saw it before!

"By the way do you see Girsha?" Lory asks Zhao Li Xin.

"Don't worry he is here, he checks a few time before you awake?" said Zhao Li Xin.

"Don't worry princess, the ancestor love this place, his been flying all day long" Huo Long laugh happily, it's an honor for him someone like Girsha appreciated his 'home' in a beast world Girsha status is like a King because the ancient blood on his veins is a lot older and noble than any creature he was met.

Even though Huo Long knew about Girsha existence but facing face to face with him is give too much tremor in his heart the feeling is like a commoner meeting with the emperor he almost falls on his knee the first they met no wonder the baby phoenix become like that is good enough that bird didn't die from shock.

"Is that so?" Lory looks up, the sky is vast and wide and the realm filled with strange energy most likely Girsha would having fun in this kind of place.
