"Are you sulking?"

A sweet voice called him, Zhao Li Xin is in his study room he already hear her light footsteps miles away but when she peeks from behind the door his heart still stirred by her beautiful big doey eyes with cheeky smiles plastered on her face, Zhao Li Xin bad moods dissipated tremendously then he beckoned her to get close.

Lory closed the door gently then she takes small strides towards Zhao Li Xin who is sitting behind the black big desk she never seen anyone is more intimidating than him except her Father, Zhao Li Xin make her sit on his lap, he rests his head on her chest….again, the heavy aura around him disappear he suddenly become sweet and gentle.

"I'm not in a good mood, comfort me" he complained as a spoiled lover complained to his girlfriend. no one ever saw this side of him but if they do thew would wish they never seen it, is too much earth-shattering for their heart.

Lory stroked his head softly "Who makes you angry? I will deal with him!" she pretend to be angry.

Zhao Li Xin chuckles, he imagines this small woman berated other people who are a lot taller and stronger than her it would be quite a sight and hilarious scened.

Zhao Li Xin tightens his embraces on her small waist the unique faint scent from her skin is like addictive drugs for him, he could never get enough.

"Is it about your Master?" she makes a wild guess.

Zhao Li Xin's mood turns to better since she comes so he can answer her with calm smiles "My princess is so smart" he teased her.

Since he knew about her real identity he begins to call her Princess every time he teased her, being called like that with endearing tone and face like Zhao Li Xin she can't help to blush profusely she never knew someone can call her princess in a sexy way that can make her heart leap from her chest.

"I'm serious!" she pinches Zhao Li Xin cheek.

He laughs how cute she could be then he hides his face on her bosom quietly take advantage of the kind lady in his embraces, Lory wrapped her arms around her neck she rests her cheek on the top of his head and the room become silent.

Meanwhile, inside the lavish woman bedroom Yang Xi Ying walks back and forth while bitting her thumb anxiously, her maid who also anxious like her can only watch her young miss moves aimlessly, then suddenly someone knocked her door. Yang Xi Ying froze for a second but her maid opens the door in hasted.

Behind the door an old man white top knot white hair like a with and long white eyebrows and long white beard the old man wear white silk robes like a cloud, he has an amicable face and exuded by calmed air around him.

"Miss Yang" the elder greeted her with light nods.

Yang Xi Yin cupped her hand elegantly "This one greeting Elder elder Mu"

"You will become part of our family, please don't be so formal" the elder help her to stand "Let's talk about the important matter, are you sure Hei Shen Sect would help" the elder name is Mu Jan Ge he is on of the three elder of Jiu Yun sect, he also raised Li Mo Zhen since he was a kid so he cares about his well being very much.

Yang Xi Ying softly nods her head "That what she said but I haven't heard anything from the Hei Shen sect leader himself, and to trade Chienzi flower…..I…"

"Mo Zhen life is more precious than any flower" Mu Jan Ge calm her down, at first he didn't really approved for Li Mo Zhen take her as his wife because all the bad rumors about her but his disciple insist so he can say anything but then this happened to his disciple this woman didn't leave his disciple she remained with him.

She also does everything she can to help Li Mo Zhen without complained, who knew how much money and resource she spent to invited all great alchemists and physicians to help Li Mo Zhen.

More than once she beg and plead to all that alchemist to help Li Mo Zhen, no matter how hard Mu Jan Ge hard is how could he not moved by her genuine care to his disciple and now he heard from Jiu Yun spy how she try to contact Hei Shen Sect to ask their help, he also wants to contact Hei shen sect but Long Ming temperament make him hesitated but who knew this frail woman move faster than him, he very satisfied with her tirns out his disciple didn't choose wrong for his wife.

"But still we cannot be hasty what if that woman lied to us, I will make agreement only give that flower if brother Li is healed," said Yang Xi Ying "This woman…for some reasoned, I can't really trust her but our situation is dire, we can only try…"

"Good…" Mu Jan Ge like her even more, she able to make clear judgment even in a tight situation is a good sign for a future sect madam "I left everything in your hand"

Yang Xi Ying's relief at least one problem is solved then she must contact that woman again before it is too late.

Next day Lory and Zhao Li Xin are in the garden basking in the warmed sunlight, Lory sit on the stone bench while absorbing the sunlight on her face, her mouth curved a bit after what happened in her past she never took granted the sunrise ever again, girsha is on the top of pavilion roof just like her he enjoyed the warmed sun and the gentle breeze beneath his feathers.

After a while he lifts lory from the bench and gets inside the pavilion, the sunlight getting hotter is not good for her health lory only yelp for a second before she chuckles how considerate heer boyfriend is.

Zhao Li Xin pour cold water to fresh her up "You like to bask yourself under the sun, even before we knew each other"

"You knew?" Lory tilts her head.

"I like to watching you….sometime…" he emphasizes the last word to make him less guilty.

"Peeping tom….." she pretends to be gasped while clenching her chest.

"Who?" Zhao Li Xin frowned.

Lory giggles she drinks the water Zhao Li Xin gave her then she takes a long deep breath she grateful for another beautiful day then she looks up to the sky "Do you know what the greatest gift the god bestows to us other than love?"

"Is the Sun" Lory smiles profoundly.

When she smiles like that the air around her suddenly changed, all of a sudden she's not the same easy-going and lax young girl from before, her cheeky smiles, her playful demeanor suddenly changes, she becomes something else something enigmatic….something divined, something he cannot touch.

"The Sun?" he asked.

"Without the Sun the world overwhelms by darkness, the plant slowly died the crops failed and the flower withers the animal dying the beast become restless, anything who survived turn to something else...something unnatural but that perhaps what survivals mean and then human….." Lory closed her eyes she remembered the last decade of her old world.

"One by one fall on the ground just like a leaf in autumn without the bright color, of course, death becomes natural, disease and starvation become constant companion some people stop crying after a while, they lost their family, their home, their strength, is like the world has come to an end, eventually the only thing that keeps them going, the only thing that keep them survive is hope…..just one more hope….so they are wait....and wait.....for The king to return"

'Remember, you are the King's daughter!'

'When there is death, there always gonna be death…'

'YOUR SOUL IS MINE!'

'LORY, DON"T!!'

'We will always find each other...'

The wave of memories hit her like broken dam, everything she had pressed deep inside her surged coming back to her is hard to face her past because she must admit she was broken, ever since that day she's broken to pieces when she met Zhao Li Xin she eventually can mend her broken heart but the deep cracked still there and just by small touch her heart would fall apart.

Even though she's convinced herself to be strong to face whatever happened in the future but could she? She's not the same girl anymore, the last war had took everything from her….sometime she feel she got nothing left.

"I'm here!" Zhao Li Xin suddenly embraces her from behind "Please don't make that face…" he begged sadly, his heart is aching like knife twist his heart it feel excruciating and suffocating, she make same expression when he met her the first time in the sea of bluebell flower she stand there like a miraged in the desert so beautiful and unreal as if she would disappear when he got too close.

"If you like the Sun, I'll protect the Sun and if you like this world I will protect this world, I will protect you and everything you loved so don't make that expression…." He whispers in her ears his voice is mixed of determination and desperation, her heart gradually engulfs with warmth, his right….she's not alone.

"Okay…" she said with a quiet voice.
