Lory seat on the couch, once again she reread the book about the mystical beast, everything remains the same, she waves her, the wind blows out of nowhere and extinguishes the candle on the table only one small lantern beside her still remains, the light in her room become dimmed Lory rub her tired eyes.
Girsha is sleeping on the giant pillow on the other small table in the corner, her little headrest on his c.h.e.s.t as he dozes off. The room becomes overly quiet because Zhao Li Xin is had a meeting with the King palace on the other room, Lory doesn't want to join in although she knew they would not mind but Lory respects Zhao Li Xin and other king palaces she doesn't want to be presumptuous and cross her line.
This another world who have different culture and different custom, if Zhao Li Xin and King palace accept her difference she should do the same if it's not necessary Lory will not interfere with Hei Shen matters, afterall isn't Hei Shen sect has thrived in their hands so why fix something that's not broken.
Lory covers herself with white fur blanket, she put down the book on the side table then pull the blanket above her waist, because sacred mountain peak located on the top of the mountain, the air is colder than any city she ever visits before at night the fog from the top of mountain creeps down to the cloud city and cover the street with white smoke, maybe because of this they called this place as 'Cloud city' Lory who is on the third floor does feel like she was above the cloud.
"Close the window, is very cold tonight" Zhao Li Xin enters the room with a deep frown.
"I think it's going to be winter again," Lory said while closing the window.
Zhao Li Xin adds more fire crystal on the furnace, not like a normal furnace, the furnace he created with his own hand didn't have a smoke because the fuel is fire crystal, and is also warmer and last longer than a normal furnace. But normally no people would used fire crystal as a fuel, people used the crystal to help them cultivate or created array so no one wasted a precious crystal as firewood, only Zhao Li Xin.
"Why the room is dark, you don't read in the dark don't you?" Zhao Li Xin takes a seat behind her then he holds her hand "Your hand is freezing, you will get sick because of this, I will tell Jin Hao to make a bitter tonic for you…" he nags incessantly.
"Nooo…"Lory grabs his hand as she pleads pitifully "I won't sick, I won't sick, PROMISE!" she locked Zhao Li Xin's hand so he can't go anywhere, she hated Jin Hao bitter medicine more than anything.
"How can you promise that?" he clearly doubts her.
"You forgot about my healing gift, even though my power is still lacking but I can cure a cold easily" she snapped her finger with a big grin on her face.
Zhao Li Xin does forget about it then he sighs heavily, he doesn't feel better instead he feel worry "Just because you can cure yourself doesn't mean you have to be cruel to yourself, to heal yourself you have to fall sick first, there's no doubt you will feel hurt and uncomfortable before you realize you need to cure yourself. Doesn't that mean you still have to hurt first?" he wrapped his hand around her c.h.e.s.t.
Lory rests her back on his c.h.e.s.t, her mouth unconsciously curved upwards, Zhao Li Xin is not the first man who told her that, the first person who told her is her Father, then Lucas, there also Fred afterward. She thought no one care like that again after she came alone to this world but she's wrong, they're still Zhao Li Xin here.
"I'm not cruel to myself"
"You are!" he answer firmly "You overly kind to other people but you cruel to yourself, I never saw anyone treat themselves as cruel as yours!" he tighten his embrace as he continue scold her.
"Li Xin, you supposed to be the untouchable Lord, cold and indifferent man, but now your ability to nag is increasing even old women could not match you right now!" Lory hit his arms slightly as she complains to him.
"Don't I become like this since I met you?" he curved the question back.
Lory smiles wryly "Apology…"
He replies calmly "Granted"
Lory giggles softly, her Lord's ability to make a joke is improving, he does change a lot but so does she.
"It seems our plan changes dramatically, don't you think?" she rest the back of her head on Zhao Li Xin c.h.e.s.t "At first we wat to sneak into the library stealthily without alert anyone, who knew everything become like this, this is the opposite of our previous plan but I think this is more like you isn't it" Lory raised her head "End everything with a Big Bang" she grins from ear to ear.
He pecks her forehead lightly "True, I like it better this way!" he admits easily.
"The situation has changed too much, this is not just about taking an old record again but we stumble in Lao Min Na conspiracy, it's was unsettling knowing she had Demon as a backer" Zhao Li Xin heaved heavily, he faces become stern as he talks about Lazarus and Lao Min Na working together.
Lory patted his hand who nestle on her stomach "Is not a good thing to make a deal with a demon, I believe Lao Min Na should pay a hefty price for the Demon aid, I wonder if she regrets it by now" Her expression turns bitter because she does do the same but it's hard to say if she regrets it, there's nothing she wouldn't do to safe Lucas but she hopes she's not hurt innocent people in a process especially Zhao Li Xin.
"Don't worry lory, you have your own Demon here, I wouldn't let anything bad happen to you"
Lory chuckles when she heard him, he does call 'Demon Lord' by a lot of people. Lory watch the small lantern light flickering with inexplicable feeling "Tomorrow is the day of the parley"
"Yes, the deathmatch between the two successors, the last man standing would become the next leader," Zhao Li Xin said indifferently seemingly unbothered knowing two blood brothers kill each other for the leader chair.
___________________________________
The next day the city is in a festive mood despite knowing it 's going to be a bloody competition but no one seems to care they just want to watch the commotion. The street is crowded with people and small stall, the Sacred Mountain Peak also invited a few big sects to watch the show, Lory was perplexed how ignorance people are especially the Leader himself grandmaster Xie Hui Rong, doesn't he realizes his sons would kill each other today, even if they not dead one of them would badly be injured, does he not worry at all?
"Are you ready?" Zhao Li Xin startled her.
"Yes!" Lory fixed her modest hanfu then she smiles at her "You wear that?"
Zhao Li Xin doesn't wear his uniform but instead, he wears black robes, is not like a normal luxurious robe he uses to wear as Long Ming but it more modest as simple without embroidery on the fabric, but it doesn't hide the fabric good quality, he also tied his hair neatly today, it's rare to see him dress properly like normal people.
"Yes, we don't need to care about them anymore, soon we will take off our disguised too"
"Maybe you" Lory raised her brows, Zhao Li Xin realizes Lory need to keep her disguised, she's too beautiful for this world.
"You right" he agrees.
Lory Doesn't know what he's thinking, she tilts her head innocently "Should we going then?"
"Don't forget to bring your dagger with you?" he reminds her with a serious face
"Of course" she nods obediently.
Suddenly the sound of firecracker surprised her, she jolted for a second then hasted to the window, she sees the people with colorful uniform walk-in a group, tall of them bring a weapon, some of them riding a horse with a pompous look, while the citizen of cloud city watching them with awed.
"The distinguish guest from other Sect…" Zhao Li Xin stands beside Lory with sneers on his face while watching the parade on the street.
"The Grandmaster invited a lot of people to watch his Son killed each other, isn't that crazy for you?" Lory props her chin on the window frame.
"Xie Hu Rong like to show off so this is expected move from him" he leans his shoulder to the window "he wants to show them how strong his cultivation right now also showing off the Sacred Mountain Peak grandeur, he deliberately violated the first sacred Mountain Peak society rule"
"What is it?" Lory lifts her head as she stares at him curiously.
"To never open their gate to an outsider" he looks at her with a meaningful gaze.
Lory make cunning smiles "He just make our job easier doesn't he"
Zhao Li Xin smirk "He does…"
