The Princess And The Lord

'Okay, I didn't see that coming'

Lory who still stuck on the roof watches the bloody scenes in awed and dumbfounded 'where the hell this beast coming from' Lory pondering, the carriage move faster and the scene fading in a distance, Lory swung her body and enter the carriage from the entrance.

​​

"Kid, what is that thing?" Lory blurted out her thought the moment she found Shin Jiu.

"You mean Gao Di?" Shin Jiu asks innocently "He is my contractual beast like Zi Zi and Qin Qin…" he said lightly as if it was normal.

"I know! but what are they?" Lory rolls her eyes tiredly.

Shin Jiu innocent eyes blink a few times, she didn't know why she make a fuss about it should she knew already?

"They are my Sacred Beast," he said again.

Lory flabbergasted by the news, Zhao Li Xin said finding one Sacred Beast is like finding a needle in the haystack there kind is very rare and almost impossible to be tamed unless with force and not many people can fight against this type of beast, to find one is amazing enough but to find three? And that's called a miracle.

Lory shakes her head and leans her back on the wooden wall than she stores the bow inside her spatial ring, not long after the golden monkey jump inside the carriage with big grinned, Lory just shakes her head helplessly she wonders what kinda kid she picks up this time?

"Sister, you are so awesome they say wasted people are weak and can't do anything but you are so strong at least you are stronger then me" Shin Jiu becomes thrilled when he remembers how valiant she was.

Lory stifle "As long you have two legs and two arms you can't be completely useless"

Shin Jiu turn quiet her word gives him a lot of courage he needs, she is right if he have complete arms and legs how could he be useless as long he worked hard he can be stronger then all of those people who hurt his grandfather, after he runaway and leaving his grandpa behind Shin Jiu engulf with guilt and remorse he feels weak and useless but now that feeling gradually decreased after he met her.

"Sister Luo can't you teach me how to fight like that?" he said eagerly.

"Well…yeah, of course," Lory shrugs her shoulder.

"Really!" he exclaimed excitedly.

"Yeah, no problem," she said casually, well it is not a bad idea to teach the kid a thing or two.

Shin Jiu's face beamed with joy until his cheeks turn red, suddenly he kneeled in front of Lory "Shifu, please accept this disciple gratitude" than all of the sudden he hit his forehead on the floor respectfully.

Lory eyes bulged widely 'Say what?'

"Yo…Kid"

Shin Jiu kowtow three times in front of Lory "From now on I will listen and follow Shifu obediently and let the heaven become the witness" he said solemnly with a cute voice.

"Wa…wait"

Shin Jiu pour warm tea and raised the cup respectfully in front of her, Lory has no choice but smile dryly and take the cup with an awkward move, she drinks the tea a little before she opens her mouth, Shin Jiu clapped his hand with glee.

"The ceremony over and now you become my master," he said with a joyous smile.

"Eh, what?" Lory bewildered, her hand froze in the air why she felt she was scammed by the little boy.

The tiger snickered and the monkey grinned at her foolishness somehow she feel overwhelmed with embarrassment she can't let anyone know she was scammed by seven years old boy.

____________________________

Somewhere far away from her place Zhao Li Xin and a few of his people are in the middle of the way to the Lu clan territory he suddenly stop without explanation and have stayed here for two days for unknows reason, he wears dark robes and golden mask and sits inside the pavilion surrounded by green bamboo and small lake behind the pavilion, their's a view of the mountain range in a far distance cover with white cloud and mist it is a breathtaking scenery but the man inside the pavilion didn't bother to indulged his eyes with the beautiful view his eyes remain with the necklace on his hand, no one can see his expression behind the mask but they can feel the loneliness and pained that overwhelmed him.

'Are we going to have a road trip!'

'Its a beautiful view, don't you think?'

'Let me tell you a story…..'

The gentle smiles of her still vividly remember, the soft gazes and her sparkles eyes stares at his dark eyes warmly without schemed, pretension or fear only acceptance and loved for who he was and what he is now, she only see him not his background, power or his wealth, she only saw him make him feel like normal human, she make him feel alive.

But he will never see that eyes ever again, he could never hear her laughing again, he can't hold her again feel her gentle hands on his face the sweet smell of her scent, when she's gone everything good in this world is gone with her leaving him only with emptiness and hollow.

"Milord" Mong Ki approach his Lord, no other shadow guard dare to approach him after Luo Ri Yi has gone, thankfully she left the letter pleading for him not to punish anyone in the villa including the shadow guard and that's why everyone still alive until now but the Lord anger still not subside so he gives the shadow guard a difficult and dangerous job to appeased his anger slightly.

Zhao Li Xin ignore Mong Ki presence which is become normal and he used by it "Liu Xi Xi the granddaughter of the leader Lu Clan asked for an audience"

"Annoying…" he grumbles.

"She said she wants to take responsibility to what happened with Miss...young miss" Mong Ki tactfully avoids saying Lory names, it becomes a taboo in Hei Shen sect to call her name is like smear salt in there Lord wound.

Zhao Li Xin sneer he wonders what other tricks the Lu clan stored for him "Send her in"

"Yes, Milord!" Mong Ki cupped his fist.

A few minutes later a beautiful woman with delicate appearance appears, she wears soft pink and white hanfu she has oval face phoenix shape eyes thin eyebrows and plump red cherry lips, she is followed by black and white goshawk bird.

She looks like a beautiful fairy who comes to the mortal world, any normal men would not be able to take there eyes off her but this is Hei Shen and no one is normal here especially the one who served Zhao Li Xin closely.

Lu Xi Xi have confidence with her talent and mostly to her appearance so when Mong ki hold her with his sword she was surprised but Mong Ki is far to care "Stay here, My Lord didn't like people get too close to him"

Lu Xi Xi's lips curl slightly she never treated like this with a man before, Mong Ki stare was cold and indifferent without any ripple of fondness in his eyes she never thought their would such a man who looking at her that way.
