Lory keep everything from Jin Hao, she smeared toxic poison on her arrows and more deathly poison on her knife and dagger, the beast she would encounter inside the tomb should be stronger than the fire monkey they might not die just because of few shot arrows.

She also collects a few fire crystal from Zhao Li Xin, he told her if she rubbing two small fire crystal together she can create small fire just like matches.

She also not forgot to keep medicine and bandage just in case she heavily injured, even though Zhao Li Xin with her but inside the ancient tomb who knew what would happen, it's better safe than sorry.

She added more arrow and small knife inside her spatial ring, just in case she needs more, according to Jin Hao, the spatial ring from Zhao Li Xin is quite high quality so she able load quite hefty stuff in there including food, Jin Hao said the food won't get spoil as long it was kept inside the ring, she happily add more food inside her ring, She guess there won't be anything edible inside that tomb.

Weapon check, medicine check, food check....clothing check, she basically has everting she can think of "Okay, I'm good now!" Lory satisfied with her preparation.

Mong Ki and Mong Yi also feel more relaxed when Lory prepares for the worst, what a smart and cautious young lass.

When the night is getting late Lory back to her tent to get some sleep, while Zhao Li Xin and the other is cultivated, Bei Li Yan said this how to prepare themselves, Lory didn't bother them, she covers himself with blanket and sleep the moment she touched the mattress, Zhao Li Xin hear her faint breathing inside the tent he guessed she already fell asleep by now, it's amazing when she use to have trouble sleeping at his manor but she can sleep easily in the wilderness.

Zhao Li Xin, Bei Li Yan, and Jin Hao sit around the campfire the only sound the can hear inside the cave is the cracking sound from the wood got burned.

"She prepares very thoroughly, a normal girl would rely on us but she prepare for the worst…"Jin Hao sighs, he admires her quick-witted but at the same time, he also feels sorry for her.

Bei Li Yan also takes long exhales "You see how she command the troops and how good she is with the bow do you realized she never misses her shot even once, every aimed is precise and her move is smooth and quick, she must be very well trained, even though she can't cultivate but I don't think she's weaker than a knight level at the beginner stage cultivator"

"When she face to face with the beast she looks very calmed, you see even the princess and her stupid young master can't help to be panic, even some of the young soldier also frantic against so much beast, but her...…"Jin Hao shakes his head "What bothers me the most is how natural she is when command the troops, her quick decision, and her clear judgment in a dire situation, is not a normal girl could do, she looks like an experienced commander"

Bei Li Yan glance at the tent where's Lory sleeping "What kinda life she's been through?"

"Not an easy one, for sure…." He remembers how meticulous she is when smearing poison on her weapon, only after she sure the poison perfectly coating her dagger she sheathed her dagger back to her left arms, Jin Hao asks her why she put it on her arms normal people used to hide dagger inside their robes or waist.

She smiled playfully at him, she said it's more concealed because people would check her waist and leg first she can use that situation to attack her opponent first, and after all the dagger is easily taken out when it in her arms then she demonstrates how quick her move with the dagger with big smiles as if it was nothing.

Jin hao only smiles with an agreement to her but deep down he wonders what kinda terrible situation this young lass had been encounter until she becomes like this.

Zhao Li Xin didn't say anything his heart was aching for her, she's been living almost a year with him he always see her laugh freely and smile mischievously she also have warm and bubbly personality although sometimes she looks sad but it's never for long a few minutes later she will laugh again and joking like before, never he would guess that she would have horrible life before.

Realizing this he look down to himself, why he never aware how much pained she buried inside her, why she look very sad sometime, why she look lonely when she watch the night sky, he though he already treat her good enough but is he just being conceited?

At the morning Lory yawn while stretching her limbs, it's supposed to be morning now, she needs to get up early to clean herself and taking breakfast, but her warm blanket and soft mattress seduced her to sleep more, Loryturn he face down on her bed she burry her face on the pillow to make her less comfortable, she kicks the blanket off from her another attempt to awake herself.

"What are you doing…."a familiar gentle voice awaked her from her doze, she shift her head then she get rid her messy hair from her face, and there he is sitting cross-legged with simple black robes with gold fower on his collar, her hair falls neatly on his shoulder the hear look silky and soft just like how people out from hair salon.

'show off first thing in the morning huh…..!!' she complains inwardly.

"I'm up…"Lory lazily got up from her mattress, because the humid her hair is inflated and tangled, she gives up trying to fix her hair she grabs a towel and got out from her tent, then she's welcome by the beautiful sight of Bei Li Yan and Jin Hao who already well dressed with perfect hair look handsome and fresh, Jin Hao smiles kindly at her but Bei Li Yan burst with laugh when he sees her messy appearance.

Lory mouth twitch, people in this world is not human, how could they wake up like that, are they bring professional hair & make up stylist for themselves, why not lend her some, even though she like this she still the only girl in this group.

"Oh, my frail heart...' she laments to herself

Lory wake up with bad mood because of them, she walks behind her tent approaching the small pond inside the cave from before, the water gives cool and refreshing feeling on her skin then she soaked the towel on the water to wiped her body, she wants to take off her robes but then she remembers the complicated custom of this world.

"I want to take my clothes off, don't come here!!" she yell loudly, then she take off her robes.

She doesn't know Jin Hao and Zhao Li Xin spit their wine when they hear what she said, Bei Li Yan laughing so hard until he bends if she's not Zhao Li Xin woman Bei Li Yan would have recruited her for his palace just because she's amusing.

Lory calmly take of her robes leaving only underwear, it can't be count as naked for her the truth is she doesn't mind if Zhao Li Xin is here with her, she wear 'dudou' woman underwear who is more like backless t-shirt for her, and the underpants is not as short as hot pants in her world, she used to wear this clothes on the beach and can still consider as conservative outfit on the beach.

After she finishes she wears her robes neatly with a fresh look and hair bun as quick fixed for her messy hair.

She sits in front of small table eating her breakfast quietly with remain drowsiness on her face, when she check the sky it's still slightly dark so it's probably only 5.30 am in modern time…..so early.

She feels better after consumed carbohydrate and sugar, her face become lively again. Zhao Li Xin sees her become energetic again then he told everyone to continue their journey.

On their way, they meet a few beasts but Mong ki and Mong Yi killed them easily when that happened Zhao Li Xin pulls her close and jumps to the high branch.

Lory didn't stop him but instead, she watch how the beast moves seriously, she learned how the beast moves and how the Mong's brother handles them. She can't fight like the mong's but she can be sneaky and after all, every creature has their weakness aren't they.

"How far is it from the ancient tomb?" Lory leg dangling on the tree branch.

"No far, few more hours with normal walking" Zhao Li Xin squat down beside her.

"What kinda place is the ancient tomb?"

"No one ever enters that place, the rumor said it's like a maze inside that place so be careful not to get lost" he stroke lory head dotingly.

"Aye, aye captain!!" Lory gives him salute who is not understood by Zhao Li Xin but he knew she's joking with him.

Below Mong ki and Mong Yi finish killing off the beast, Zhao Li Xin wrapped her waist with his arms while land on the ground smoothly then follow by Jin Hao and Bei Li Yan.

Then Zhao Li Xin group continue their journey and just like he said a few hours later they arrive at the long wide bridge made with grey stones, the bridges look old with so many cracked and holes on it it's also cover with thick root tree and wild grass, seems like this bridge never been used for centuries.

On the end of the bridges there's a humongous ruined palace stick with the mountain behind it at the front of the ruined there's a gigantic door made from grey metal with burning fire carved on it make the ruined eerier.

If Lory imagine the castle of King Yama then nothing is more suit than this place, Lory look down on the bridge, below the ruined there's a giant waterfall fall down to the deep abyss she can't even see where's the end it's cover with water mist she only hear the sound of water falling then Lory see the flock of white birds flew near the waterfalls the bird make a nest on the cliff near the waterfalls, judging by the amount of nest on the cliff this place is untouched by human being.

"This is it…." Lory almost can contain her excitement.

"Hmm…" Zhao Li Xin have mixed feeling between worry and curious, his worry because Lory will enter the Tomb with him.
