The Princess And The Lord

They all look at her curiously, Lory scratch her nose embarrassedly she didn't comprehend how spectacular Girsha had done not even Girsha understand, that bird is just a baby in his eyes and he just reprimand that baby a Little bit if Girsha have his actual power that bird make death from heart attack luckily Girsha power still locked just like Lory so he just pressed that baby using his 'first kind' blood.

"What? I didn't do anything….blame this old bird" she shoved the bird from her shoulder, but girsha feel the fun is done so he flew away again leaving Lory to answers their question and Lory cursed the old bird using her telepathic connection.

​​

"Anyway, let's break the cursed first" Lory clapped her hands.

"Should it break already?" Jin Hao remembers the black sword turn white as snow.

Lory wave her hand "No, that only restrains the cursed but not lifted the cursed"

Li Mo Zhen who walk towards her also heard what Lory say "Miss Lao, what do you mean?"

"The hairpin only resist the cursed when something happened the hairpin stoled again or worst….someone might destroy it, your condition would get worst and so other people who accidentally touch that sword, so we must lift the cursed completely so no one got hurt anymore" Lory smile calmly.

She didn't realize Li Mo Zhen feel touch by her thoughtfulness she's not just worry for him but she also worry for other people who accidentally touch the cursed sword including Yang Xi Ying and the elders. In this cultivator world generosity is rare to find so how could he not move by it, Yang Xi Ying's eyes also moist from tears she can't describe how grateful she is.

Jin Hao, Bei Li Yan and the mong's brother including Zhao Li Xin looking at her with an expectant gaze.

Some people might say what she had done is wasted a good opportunity but at the same time, they feel a wave of a warm breeze in their heart.

"Let's go now, the faster we clean this thing the safer for Master Li," said Lory impatiently.

"Are you fine, why not wait for tomorrow? Zhao Li Xin worries although she's not hurt but Lao Min Na had tried to kill her several times he scared she would engulf with shocked.

"Miss Luo, Lord Long Ming is right, I don't mind to wait for tomorrow" Li Mo Zhen also worry about Lory condition because she's not cultivator like them, she might be tired and shocked after what happened.

"Yes Miss Luo, why don't you rest" Yang Xi Ying also joined in.

Lory perplexed by their kind attention her face becomes slightly red, it's weird when everyone treat her like a frail glass "It….it's fine, I'm not tired or anything" she looks down shyly.

Her cute reaction soften Yang Xi Ying heart how long it's been for her to find a genuine pure woman, all the women she met only pretend to be pure but they all scheming and cruel.

"When it come to a cursed, time is essential so we cannot delay any longer" Lory said again.

Zhao Li Xin sigh he knew it's useless when she becomes like this "Fine, but I'm coming with you!"

Lory nod her head "Of course, it's better if Master Li and Miss Yang come with us too"

"Can I coming too" Bei Li Yan plead, he wanted to see what is this cursed all about, he already missed a lot because he came late he cannot miss again this time.

"Should you have a job to investigated Lao Min Na and the Misty lake" Jin Hao remind him coldly.

"I can send my subordinated to do all that, don't you have a job to investigated where's Lao Min Na found the Gu?" Bei Li Yan retorted back.

"I also have subordinated" he makes a loud snort, he also wants to see how to lift a cursed, he had seen a lot of strange things in this world but a cursed? He does not even know if that a real thing, as a natural-born curious person how could he let this chance go, he wouldn't sleep for a year if he misses this chance.

The distance between Jiu Yun sect and the ruined is quite far but they can't use carriages because road is too small and slippery so they can only walk to reach the abandoned ruined, Lory is too weak to walk that far so Zhao Li Xin carry her on her back, her embarrassment disappear when drowsiness overcome her.

Lory fell asleep on Zhao Li Xin back peacefully after Lory sleeps everyone used their Gin Qong to speed up their pace then they across old suspension bridged, the wind blow from the chasm awaked lory from her sleep.

She clenched the fur cloak on her shoulder, she can see white smoke from her breath luckily the necklace from Zhao Li Xin keep her warm even though the temperature is freezing cold. After they passed the bridged they climb higher through the sea of pines trees, not long after they arrive near the grey stone stairs.

Zhao Li Xin put her down gently, Lory's eyes remain on the stairs who is too familiar for her although the stairs have too much cracked on it and cover with weeds and dirt.

"It's a long climbing up there Miss Luo, you should let Lord Long Min g to carry you," said Li Mo Zhen.

Lory shakes her head "It's fine" Lory said calmly and Girsha flew past her, his gold tail fluttering when the faint moonlight illuminated their path, Lory follow Girsha with Zhao Li Xin walk beside her and the night becomes eerie with only a sound of cricket hear around them, Yang Xi Ying also feel the hair behind her neck stand out, she pressed herself to Li Mo Zhen arms.

Li Mo Zhen patted her hand gently to comfort her, secretly he also feel something weird with this place as if something watching them in the dark but as a high-level cultivator he sure there are no other living things other than them, Li Mo Zhen confused why he didn't realize this before when he some the first time is it because he comes during the day or because at that time the cursed sword still rest peacefully until Lao Min Na disturbed it?

Jin Hao, Bei Li Yan, and Mong's Brother also feels the air around them is dark and depressing even though they didn't afraid but there something unsettling about this place and the more they climb the heavier this feeling becomes.

Zhao Li Xin holds Lory's hand tightly "Something menace inside this place….this place is dangerous," he said with a quiet voice.

Lory grip on his hand gets tighter "It's fine, is not your real feeling…you just got influenced by them" Lory smile calmly.

"Them?" Zhao Li Xin frowned.

Lory looks up "Don't you hear it…they trap in this place, begging for help"

"Do….do you mean it's a gho…..ghost?" Yang Xi Ying stuttering she pressed herself to Li Mo Zhen, he feel bad for his fiancée he wrapped his arms around her shoulder to calmed her down.

"Don't worry, they won't hurt you they just trap in this vicious cycle" she pitty all the innocent who was died at that time because of few people greed so many people have to die in vain.

Mong Ki and Mong Yi help her to open the half wrecking gate just like she saw in the dream "They all trap in this nightmare, it's time to wake them up and send them home" Lory walk-in unhurried pace she finally reach the small building behind the main building she slowly opens the door and there she found the left coffin, Lao Min Na didn't even bother to close the coffin.

Yang Xi Ying didn't dare to enter because of the coffin inside the room meanwhile, Lory approaches the coffin, the man bones with tattered white robes lay inside the coffin.

"I told you I will come for you" Lory said gently to the bones inside the coffin without fear in her eyes, only sadness "Brother Mong help me to Bring the coffin outside"

"Yes, Young Miss!" Mong Ki and Mong Yi said at the same time, carefully they carry the coffin outside.

Meanwhile, Lory tidy up the Budha altar then she put new offering on the table to respect the God and the death, Zhao Li Xin help her to lit the incense although he didn't have much concern for the god or the death but he will respect whatever Lory needs to do even if he doesn't understand it.

Lory gratefully smiles at Zhao Li Xin understanding, Lory's eyes shift to the painting in the middle of the room, she approaches the painting closely, she sees something written at the bottom of the painting the but the ink is worn off so she Leans closer to the painting.

Lory read what was written on it suddenly her eyebrows furrow, a minute later she let out a long sigh turns out everything is premeditated, at the end nothing is a coincidence in this world.
