Chapter 202 - The Bait

[I feel bad for that boy…] said Girsha suddenly.

Lory was throwing her dagger on the tree when she hears him complain [What do you mean?] Lory frowns while throwing another dagger on the tree, the daggers hit the marks on the tree perfectly.

[I can see he is sexually frustrated…] he mumble all alone while perching on the stone lamp.

Lory open her palms and the two daggers fly back on her hand automatically [You think I'm not!] she feels wronged then she twist her wrist and throw both dagger at the same time once again the daggers hit the mark perfectly at the same time [With Lazarus cursed I can't let my guards down, who knew if this cursed can inflict other people, you know some curse can be transmitted during intercourse] Lory said seriously.

Lory remember some cased happened in the small village where all the men in the village suddenly inflicted by weird disease that make them look like infected by rabies, who knew after meticulous investigation its happened because someone released a cursed for every cheater in the village for a revenged because she was cheated by one, it ends up becoming one of the weirdest, scariest but the funniest cased.

This time Lory only wiggle her finger and the dagger flies back on her hands, she grabs the daggers with both her hands smoothly [I will not take chances with his life!] Lory said firmly.

[Why don't you tell him, he might say you worth the risk…] Girsha grinned wickedly.

[You want me to tell that worrywart that there was an actual Demon claiming my soul? Are you Nuts!] Lory said irritably, if Zhao Li Xin knew what happened to her she can't imagine what kinda havoc he would make.

[Yeah….he will go NUTS!] he also agrees with Lory, Zhao Li Xin is a good man but he can't deny that man can be crazy sometimes.

Lory takes a deep breath than she throws the daggers on the air than with her finger she controls the daggers movement, with a single command of her finger the daggers slice the fallen leaf around her in a high speed less than a minute's hundreds of leaf was slice by her daggers and they all fall gently on her feet. Lory's face remains calm she doesn't look happy or disappointed then she wiggles her index finger and the daggers fly back on her hands.

[Not bad…] said Girsha.

[Yes, but it decreased my 'mana' a lot so I can only do this for ten minutes…] Lory can't feel more dejected by how weak her power now, she remembers she was stronger than this when she was twelve years old, what a humiliating situation.

Thankfully no one watching her practice all shadow guard is on high alert because Zhao Li Xin and the Mong's brother are not home and Lory is alone so her safety becomes their priority, lory embarrassed how weak she is she forgot that everyone though she only a harmless woman, they shocked enough when they saw Lory proficient in archery if they know Lory also can control the daggers with mysterious power how much shocked they would take.

[Come on let's have a lunch…] Lory sheathed her daggers in both her arms then she walks back to her room with Girsha following her, in her room the servants already prepared her lunch, Lory used to eat at the same time every day so the servants already used to it.

Lory smile politely to the maids who prepare her lunch, the maid bow respectfully than they leave the room, not like other noble daughter Lory hated when s people stand behind her watching her eat, normally servants would stand near their master during meal is to help their Master if they need anything but Lory didn't like this custom even in Cestine Palace the maid is waiting outside the dining room out of her sight and only enter when she called them, overall she hated people watching her eating, she's not monkey in a zoo.

Lory and Girsa are in the middle of eating when suddenly a maid knocked on her door.

"Come in!" Lory said from inside the room.

A middle-aged maid with a light plump body enters the room, she bows courteously at Lory "Young Miss, someone sends a letter for you" said the maid "I already check it there is no dangerous material inside the envelope so it's supposed to be safe" she said again with a polite smile.

Lory smile awkwardly 'What a thorough examination'

"From whom?" Lory asked.

"I don't know, the sender is a young boy he didn't tell me who he just said it's from a friend," said the maid again.

"Oh, thank you then…" Lory said in a grateful smile.

The maid feels happy his job was appreciated by the future madam her face beamed when she got out of the room.

Lory opens up the envelope and she takes out the letter when she read the content her eyebrows gradually furrow. Girsha sees her expression become tensed, he stops eating and perch on Lory's shoulder because he can read the word in this world he had no choice but asked her.

[What's wrong?]

Lory pressed her lips together [Someone kidnapped Yang Xi Ying and told me to come alone before noon if I want to see her alive]

Girsha squints his eyes with puzzled looks [Why is it you? Should it be that Li guy?]

Lory put down the letter on the table [And how could they know I'm Yang Xi Ying friend….no its not about Yang Xi Ying, Its because Zhao Li Xin, I think they want to use me to get Zhao Li Xin] Lory crosses her arms on her chest.

[That easy, you didn't have to go than…] Girsha said casually.

[But, they got Xi Ying, I can't let her involved by this!] said Lory anxiously, Yang Xi Ying is going to get married next month that's why they didn't have time to meet each other if something happened with her because of her, Lory would never forgive herself….again.

[Calm down girl, why don't we check where that Ying girl where about" Girsha try to appease her, he knew how reckless lory can be.

[Fine! Let's checked her right now!] Lory runs out of the room than she shouted to the roof.

"I need someone immediately!" Lory shouted.

Suddenly a man with a black uniform like Mong Ki jump out of the roof than he kneeled in front of Lory "Greeting young Miss, do you need anything?"

"Yes, I want you to check where is Yang Xi Ying right now is she in her Manor or at Jiu Yun Sect, I need to know where she is right now and please make it fast!" Lory said sternly.

It's not normal for someone like Lory looks anxious so the shadow guard take her command seriously he disappeared immediately, Lory bites her lips she feel agitated her heart beating faster than she enter her room again she put on a pants under her skirt to make her easier to moves than she changed her shoes to a boot, the skirt would also hide her boots.

Lory run to Zhao Li Xin room she opens his drawer and see a small knife, talisman, and a few medicines, Lory keep everything inside her spatial rings except the small knife she keeps the knife inside her boots than she open another drawer and she found a lot of gold taels, she didn't know if the kidnapper would accept money so she though its better be safe then sorry.

[Girl, why you robbing you're boyfriend?] Girsha flew in than he saw her wiped out Zhao Li Xin money.

[I'm borrowing not stealing" she rebukes him.

[You don't know if the Ying girl is fine" Girsha roll his eyes exasperatedly.

[You right, we don't know] Lory rests her arms on her waist [We just prepare for the worst] Lory wait anxiously for the shadow guard report, she hopes there's nothing happened to that lovely girl.
