The Princess And The Lord

As Lory got out of the jeep the old man suddenly called out to her "Yo, girl I got two old hoodies in the backseat that I'm gonna throw away later but I guessed I just give them to you, It's better if you cover your hair even though there are no fines in this city but you still get a warning from the officer, besides that you men can't walk around looking like that right?"

"Thank you, you really helped us!" Lory accepted the old kindness with gratitude.

Zhao Li Xin didn't understand what they were talking about but the old man seemed to be helping them, he looked at the old man and then made a note in his heart to repay the debt later.

Zhao Li Xin was someone who had a fine line between hatred and gratitude, when people treated him well he would reciprocate that person a hundred times like Tian Meng Ji and the Four King's palace but if people treated him badly he would also make them experience thousands of times worse than him just like what happened to the Jiang Wei kingdom and many of his enemies.

"Thank you, oh sorry I don't know your name sir," asked Lory.

"Just call me Joe, and what's your name miss?"

Lory paused for a second then smiled "Raven, my name is Raven Jane"

The old man grinned "Okay, see you later Miss Jane" he winked before going to the convenience store nearby coolly.

It's been a long time since I've seen a cool old man like Joe, in the cultivator world most old people are very serious and carry themselves in a serious and dignified manner as an example to the younger generation so seeing an old man wearing a leather jacket and jeans it feels like a breath of fresh air for Lory.

Zhao Li Xin also thought the old man was weird nevertheless he didn't know how people behave in this world so perhaps that behavior consider to be normal in this world so Zhao Li Xin decide to be open-minded right now.

Lory then changed her dirty garb into an old brown hoodie then he took the other hoodie and turned to Zhao Li Xin.

[Li Xin change your robe with this]

Zhao Li Xin looked around with an uncomfortable look, even though the parking lot was quite empty and no one else was in sight but he felt uncomfortable changing clothes in public.

Lory understood what Zhao Li Xin was thinking, and though he was considered to be liberal in his world Zhao Li Xin was still considered to be conservative in Lory's world.

[I can't use my power here or someone might see it and you can't go out on the street in these rags or the authority might get us]

Zhao Li Xin saw himself in the reflection of the car window next to him, after the fight with Lazarus he maxed out the immortal flames that even his special flame-retardant robe couldn't handle so it becomes charred and tattered like this not to mention his messy long hair makes his appearance look like a lunatic, he must admit he looks like a beggar.

[I indeed look very ugly now] Zhao Li Xin looks at himself with a slight annoyance.

[No, you look wildly sexy and that's even more dangerous] Lory's eyes wandered from Zhao Li Xin's shoulders, chest, and then his strong - flat abs soon after a problematic realization dawned on her.

Unlike her who was considered slightly above average in the cultivator world Zhao Li Xin checked all the beauty standard boxes in her world, combined with a cold and mysterious demeanor Zhao Li Xin's charms will be irresistible to anyone and that's only adding trouble in Lory mind.

The weather is very hot,  Lory then tore off the sleeve of Zhao Li Xin's shirt that was no longer used to tie her hair into a bun.

Later he helps Zhao Li Xin to wear the hoodie after that they are supposed to look decent but no, especially Zhao Li Xin!

The hoodie turned out to be too small for him and he was wearing wide pant that was scorched, dirty, and tattered, but with his perfect posture, some might think he did this on purpose to look edgy after all many people have weird fashion sense, nevertheless he undoubtedly will attract a lot of attention.

Zhao Li Xin also thought she looked weird but it didn't bother her as much as Lory, she thought everything was acceptable as long as she had Lory by his side, as a matter of fact, Zhao Li Xin's attention was already on the scenery around her.

The strange architecture, the various type of moving vehicles, the strange object around him, the road under his feet that looked like nothing he had ever seen, he wondered what this was, what it was used for, how it was all made, could he know it? does Lory know?

If Lory knew what Zhao Li Xin was thinking, she would say 'No' because she never cared about any of this especially the car, as long as the car was moving, that was all she cared about.

[Lory, do you know where we are?] Zhao Li Xin's eyes normally averted from the worldly world flickered with uncharacteristic anticipation and excitement.

Zhao Li Xin's good mood infected hers as well, Lory swept her gazes around her and then said: [This is my old world I guess]

Zhao Li Xin widened his eyes even more as he got more excited, "Oh, Really!"

[Yeah, but don't get too excited. Yet] Lory raised her hand and sighed heavily [Because we don't have any money, now]

[Oh?] Zhao Li Xin was taken aback, it had been a long time since he had been penniless in his life, Zhao Li Xin checked his spatial ring but then discovered that it had been dead after Huo Long left, [What about your spatial ring?] he asked Lory.

Lory clapped her hands excitedly, she forgot she also had a spatial ring! However, when she tried to summon anything from her ring she got no reaction, [Li Xin look, do you think it's broken?] Lory gave the ring to Zhao Li Xin.

Zhao Li Xin took the ring from Lory's hand and then carefully examined the ring after a while he nodded in conclusion [It is broken too!]

Lory's face was deathly pale [NOOOO!] Her shoulders dropped as it dawned on her that she was broke now, [Can't you fix it] Lory begged.

[Not at my current level, not only do I have to increase my cultivation but also have to increase my armament master skills] Zhao Li Xin looked at Lory with a regretful look.

Lory felt bad it wasn't Zhao Li Xin's fault, Lory immediately calmed down she told herself this wasn't the first nor the worst thing that had ever happened to her and this was her old world so it should be easier for her to figure out how to make money and this time she would be the one taking care of Zhao Li Xin!

After Lory made her decision, she immediately got better, she lifted her hood and also didn't forget to raise Zhao Li Xin's hoodie as well.
