Lory was drinking 'blossom tea' while eating her bento on the small table, she stretched her neck when Zhao Li Xin enters the room. 

"Welcome back, have you eaten yet?" Lory patted the chair next to her.

His dark expression quickly disappeared when he see Lory smiles "What have you eaten?" he pulled the chair next to Lory.

Lory point the dishes on her box with chopsticks "I got sweet and sour beef, spicy eggplant…and I don't know the others but it tasted good" she lifts his head with wide smiles "I got another menu, do you want it?"

Zhao Li Xin stroked the top of her head lovingly "I have the same menu as you" 

"Okay" Lory takes out the bento box from her spatial ring, he helps Zhao Li Xin to open the box and prepare the clean chopstick for him. In the humble small courtyard, he has Lory waiting for him, welcomed him when he's home, and prepare his dinner, is an ordinary life but his heart engulfs with warmth. He thought this simple life is not bad at all.

"Where's Girsha?" Zhao Li Xin asked.

"Fly outside, he flew away the moment he feel your arrival, such a bird, you know he always…. "Lory snorts as she complains randomly while eating her dinner, Zhao Li Xin chuckles listening Lory complain while he eating his meal. Once a while he would laugh while listening to her and lory laugh with him.

The night outside is cold but inside the small courtyard feel very warmed fortunately no one could hear the laughter from inside the small room or the rumors Lory has painstakingly spread about her being disfavoured wife would be crumbling in a second.

While Lory cleans up the table after they meal Zhao Li Xin shared his story with Lory and also about his meeting with one of his spy and what his spy had found about the noble family who ruled the sacred Mountain peak.

"So they will fight over you, there's nothing new about that" Lory smiles as with one swoosh the utensil back to her ring "And what about the Mo family you seem suspicious with the young master Mo death?"

"I suspicious about something but I can't say it without proof"

"What kinda proof you need?" Lory asked.

"Who is he closed to during that time and how he died, I need someone who was there when the young master mo died" Zhao Li Xin pour lory a cup of warm tea. When he heard how the Mo family's young master died he has suspicious. Dying during breakthroughs is common but for the Mo family who has knowledge and resources to avoid such a situation so the accident like this raised his eyebrows.

Lory prop her chin with her palm as she mutter "Then you need to find the servant who used to served young master Mo"

Zhao Li Xin nods his head "I have my people to search for him" suddenly Zhao Li Xin patted lory head "About tomorrow, we will be granted with a better living quarter, so you can be more comfortable at the new courtyard"

"Look at you, just a few days you already got a promotion, my husband is awesome" lory peck his cheeks lightly.

Zhao Li Xin's heart burst with sweetness, he pulls Lory to sit on his l.a.p.s as he kissed her fervently. Her heart beating rapidly when he held her head gently and his other hand wrapped around her waist to maintain her from falling. Lory's body becomes soft inside his warm embrace, she grabs his collar as the passion took over her.

The kissed suddenly stop, Zhao Li Xin eyes become darker as someone dares to ruin his sweet moment just a little more he would devour his princess again, Lory blinks her hazy purple eyes "What's wrong?" 

Zhao Li Xin gritted his teeth in upset "Someone is coming" 

"Oh!" Lory jump from Zhao Li Xin's l.a.p she quickly pulls Zhao Li Xin's wrist to prolong the shapeshifter spell on him and she didn't forget to activate her disguised too. 

"Stay here!" said Zhao Li Xin then he rose from his seat and got out of the room.

Lory expression becomes serious [Girsha, what over him!] he called Girsha with telepathy.

[Already done!] Girsha green eyes turn to purple at the same time Lory iris also turns to purple as the sign the connection between them is activated.

Through girsha eyes she sees a man with dark brown robes invited Zhao Li Xin to follow him and the two of them leave the courtyard, Lory got curious who wants to meet Zhao Li Xin in the middle of the night.

Zhao Li Xin notices Girsha is secretly following him obviously Lory sends him to watch over him, perhaps his princess worries about him, the corner of his mouth slightly curved. The man in front of Zhao Li Xin leads him to the secluded temple who is placed behind the main building and far from hustle and bustle of the cloud city.

From afar Zhao Li Xin could hear the sound of Buddhist monk chanting sutra, the closer they get the louder the chanting becomes when they walk past the Buddhist monks Zhao Li Xin stunned because all of the Buddhist monks is blind some even missing their limbs only then he realizes this place is not a temple but a place a jail for the people they can't kill, judging by the look of the monks some of them look quite nice perhaps they used to be a young master from the fluent family but they throw here because their make mistakes or they lose their values.

Zhao Li Xin only glances at them for a second then he turns his gaze away from them, he has no concern about them much less pity for everyone should know there's a price to pay to born in a noble family. The man with the brown robes leads him on the third floor of the temple and suddenly he stops his pace.

"Stay here, I will announce my master first" the brown man then knocked on the door and enter the room.

Zhao Li Xin could feel the person inside the room has strong cultivation, for normal people of course. He leans his shoulder on the wall waiting for the man to return. On the window opposites, him Girsha land smoothly the eyes of the bird who supposed to be green now changed to purple just like hie Princess eyes, he finally gets it, his Princess is watching him through the bird's eyes. Zhao Li Xin smiles and Girsha tilted his head. 

Girsha abruptly flies off and the door from the room suddenly opened and the man in brown robes exit, he looks at Zhao Li Xin with an unfriendly manner "You may come!"

Zhao Li Xin sneers as he straightens his back and enters the room. the room is filled with the smell of incense and a woman sits lazily on a couch under the dimmed light. The woman figures are petite her face is small and her skin is smooth as jade. the woman has clear eyes that make her look like innocent beauty but Zhao Li Xin's new better.

Zhao Li Xin maintains his distance he didn't stand too far or too close, the woman watching her while eating gr.a.p.es as her lips look red and moist just like a cherry. Zhao Li Xin remains expressionless other than urged to kick the woman off from the couch he doesn't feel anything, not even the slightest.

"You are Lu Xin?" she asked with a sultry voice.

"Yes," he answers shortly.

The woman surprised the man in front of her remain calmed and collected 'This is the first' she thought. Either this man is a cut sleeve or she is not his type, she rather believes the first one and after all, she heard the news that this man didn't treat his wife kindly.

"My name is Mo Ning Yuan, I have heard a lot of thing about you master Lu" she makes enchanting smiles.
