The Princess And The Lord

Yang Xi Ying and Tao Bing Wen fell safely to the ground due to the protective talisman protecting them but Ming Yue Yin fell roughly on top of the beast, she grimaced in pain wondering how many ribs she broke but then the snake head appear in front of her ready to bite her face off, reflexively Ming Yue Yin swung her sword slashing the snake's jaw in half and with a quick movement she grabbed the snake's neck and stabbed the snake's head repeatedly until it didn't move and finally the beast died.

However, not long after a tiny worm-like creature wriggled out of the beast's ears, Ming Yue Yin knew it was a beast parasite, she threw her blade made of spirit stone at the parasite, and the creature squirmed before turning into ashes.

Ming Yue Yin sighed then, not wanting to stay on the beast's carcass any longer, she dragged herself down from the beast's body as soon as her feet touched the ground, she suddenly lost her strength and fell to her butt, feeling exhausted she leaned against the carcass for a while then Ming Yue Yin then raised its head to see a huge gaping hole above her head.

Even though she knew the crater was deep, he didn't expect it to be this deep. It was a miracle she survived the fall but ironically it was because of this monster's huge body that saved her from the impact of the fall.

"Xi Ying!" Ming Yue Yin flinched he remembered Xi Ying had fallen earlier in an emergency he threw a protective talisman to prevent Yang Xi Ying from falling but she didn't know what her action was, immediately her eyes looked around frantically for her friend's whereabouts before long Ming Yue Yin saw not far from her two figures lay motionless on the ground.

Fear pierced his skin with Ming Yue Yin's heavy steps approaching Yang Xi Ying and Tao Bing Wen's bodies.

"Xi…Xi Ying" Ming Yue Yin knelt beside him and his whole body shook violently he didn't know if Yang Xi Ying was still breathing or not.

"Xi Ying, wake up....don't scare me like this, hey!" shakily Yang Xi Ying pressed his finger against Yang Xi Ying's neck, softly she could feel a faint pulse on her neck that make Ming Yue Yin's face ghastly pale.

She didn't know what to do, she wanted to transfer her Qi to Yang Xi Ying but was worried that it would hurt Yang Xi Ying's fetus she wanted to give the recovery pill but she was worried that Xi Ying wouldn't be able to swallow it, confused and panicked Ming Yue Yin who used to able control the imperial court with eased now didn't know what to do but stare blankly then suddenly she was startled by a familiar voice.

"Brat, is that you?"

Ming Yue Yin turn her head, like heaven's sent Ming Yue Yin's eyes widened, a woman in ragged dirty clothes with unkempt bluish hair but she still looked more regal than any royalty she had ever met.

<strong>"LORY!"</strong> Ming Yue Yin shouted with mixed feelings of joy, sadness, and relief, she then immediately pleaded frantically like a child towards her mother, "Yue Ying, help Yue Ying! Hurry up!"

Hearing the stress in Ming Yue Yin's voice, Lory was stunned for a moment then took long strides toward her soon after Lory realized Ming Yue Yin's pitiful state and immediately knew what kind of battle she had to go through.

Lory knelt beside Yang Xi Ying and then checked her pulsed a moment later Lory's forehead creased "Xi Ying is still alive and the baby too but their condition is very worrying" if Jin Hao is here he might only be able to save Yang Xi Ying life but not the baby, however, she is not Jin Hao.

"You can help them right?" Ming Yue Yin looked at her expectantly.

Lory's lips curl into a confident smile "Who do you think I am, brat?!" Lory flicked Ming Yue Yin's forehead. Maybe in this world, only Lory still treats Ming Yue Yin like a child even though Ming Yue Yin herself doesn't mind it and actually enjoys it.

Lory placed one hand on his chest and another on Yang Xi Ying's stomach as soon as the purple light shone brightly and then broke into thousands brilliance of lights just like fireflies spreading throughout the cave and once the light touched the injured skin all the wounds and scars shrank until completely disappeared without a trace.

No matter how many times Ming Yue Yin witnessed Lory's strength he couldn't stop being amazed, not only the external wounds he could feel the internal wounds also gradually recovered Ming Yue Yin's eyes glistening with awe and admiration toward Lory.

After a while, the light subsided then Lory checked Yang Xi Ying's condition again after she heard her stable breathing Lory also check the baby's condition, fortunately, both the mother and the baby are fine.

Ming Yue Yin suddenly hugged Lory from the side while burying her face in Lory's shoulder she couldn't stop being grateful to meet Lory otherwise she didn't know what to do.

"There-there, don't cry" Lory patted Ming Yue Yin's arms.

"I'm not crying!" Ming Yue Yin denies that her muffle voice clearly betrays her.

Lory stifled a laugh, he then noticed another body lying beside Yang Xi Ying, Lory opened her palm and a bolt of light floated in her palm and my cave became brighter.

"Who is that?" Lory mumbled.

Ming Yue Yin pulled his head sniffing he shrugged "I don't know, but he saved Xi Ying..." only now did Ming Yue Yin notice the poor boy who had been lying there, luckily Lory's power had healed him too. so he is not in danger.

Lory took a closer look at the figure and all of a sudden she gasped, "Stupid Boy!"

"You know him?" Ming Yue Yin tilted her head in surprise.

"Yeah, he's from the Sword Saint sect, his father is the sect leader, his name is Tao...Bing...Wan...Wei or something." Lory's scrunched up her face she suddenly forgot the boy's name.

[Tao Bing Wen] Girsha corrected Lory before perching on her shoulder.

Lory clapped her hands "Oh yes, Tao Bing Wen!" Lory then looked at the boy again with obvious surprise, "You said he helped Yang Xi Ying?" Lory's voice revealed her doubts.

But who could blame her,  the last impression she got from Tao Bing Wen was that the boy is a hot-headed, coward, a boy who likes to talk big but has zero abilities even though Lory saw potential in Tao Bing Wen but she didn't think Tao Bing Wen would change this fast or this much.

'It was unbelievable!'

"Nnn..." Yang Xi Ying moans softly, her eyelashes fluttering like a butterfly wing then she slowly opens her eyelids.

"Xi Ying!" Ming Yue Yin exclaimed joyfully once she saw Yang Xi Ying finally conscious.

Yang Xi Ying froze when she saw Ming Yue Yin's vibrant smile and for a long moment, she was staring blankly thinking she might be dreaming.

"Hello beautiful, you scared me just now~" Lory smiles brightly and her eyes twinkle like a gemstone under the sunlight as she looks at Yang Xi Ying.

However Xi Ying's silence made Ming Yue Yin confuse "Xi Ying why you didn't say anything?" a deep wrinkle formed on Ming Yue Yin's brows then she look at lory worriedly "Aunty, something is not right with her, is Xi Ying alright?"

[Maybe she hurt his head?] Girsha randomly guessed.

"Oh, hush!" Lory scolded Girsha then turn her head back at Yang Xi Ying "She's supposed to be alright," her power should fix any damage on Yang Xi Ying's body, confused she then waved her hand in front of Yang Xi Ying "Sweety, can you see me? hey,"

Suddenly, tears streamed down Yang Xi Ying's's face as she started to sob uncontrollably, "I'm not….I'm not dreaming…" she said in a choking voice.

Ming Yue Yin and Lory exchanged glances and smiled turns out Yang Xi Ying was only shocked from joy, Ming Yue Yin pinched Yang Xi Ying's cheek "Here, do you still think you are dreaming~"

Laughter and tears mixed on Yang Xi Ying's gentle face she could finally relax with her best friend around she was sure she would be fine no matter what happened.

Then suddenly a thought flashed in her mind Yang Xi Ying swiftly put both her hands on her stomach "My...my baby"

Lory quickly grabs Yang Xi Ying's hand "Your baby is fine, don't worry dear" she gently comforts her.

"That's right Xi Ying, with Lory here you don't have to worry anything!" Ming Yue Yin reassured her and she didn't lie cause that was exactly how she felt.

With the help of Ming Yue Yin, she sat down but something else came to her mind, Yang Xi Ying remembered that Tao Bing Wen had fallen with her in order to protect her, Yang Xi Ying immediately looked around her and then found the boy lying beside her.
