The Princess And The Lord

In front of the main gate, a row of carriages are waiting in the queue. The guards meticulously check every carriage and they're identification token, while other guards keep in eye anyone who is new and look suspicious. The security is tight but everyone seems use to it so that's mean this is an ordinary occurrence.

Zhao Li Xin smirked, being on guard for his own people it shows the lack of trust inside the sacred Mountain Peak society, trust and loyalty between the noble family seem gone for a long time. no matter how strong the building if the foundation is cracked it's only a matter of time before it crumbles and Sacred mountain peak society will be the best example.

Finally, Nan Yu Qi carriage stop at the main gate, the guard's expression from stiff to relaxed because they know who is the owner of the carriage, Xie Hua Ling got out from the carriage, the handsome man wearing bright blue color and silver belt, he tied half his hair into a top knotted and adorn it with silver guan, he look very handsome and charismatic young master. His appearance makes every woman secretly squeal.

Xie Hua Ling turn around and help Nan Yu Qi, he holds Nan Yu Qi hand gently as she got out from the carriage, Nan Yu Qi beauty mesmerized every man and make every woman grit their teeth in envy. Nan Yu Qi has a beautiful oval face with delicate features although she has a haughty temperament, it's only adding her charms.

She wears soft peach and white color hanfu, her long wide sleeve is embroidery with white lily and lace attach to her sleeves, she wears the same silver belt like Xie Hua Ling and frill skirt. Her dress increased her calm and frail beauty but what surprised everyone is because he is holding a small black tiger beast in her embraces.

People were awed and shocked because Nan Yu Qi brings a shadow tiger cub as her contractual beast, the beast is still small but that's mean it easier to control and when the beast grew up it will become a deathly weapon, no one would challenge Nan Yu Qi now, everyone eyes turn green from envy and jealousy, they didn't know how Nan Yu Qi able to get her hand on the extinct Shadow tiger, it's a mind-blowing but also a great fact because if nan yu Qi able to catch the shadow tiger perhaps they would able a shadow tiger too.

With great man beside her and shadow tiger inside her arms Nan Yu Qi is basking wit glory, she enjoyed everyone attention, she knew every woman is dying to be like her, and men will do anything to be with her, she lifts her head and her eyes meet Xie Hua Ling tender gaze Nan Yu Qi startled and she looks down shyly.

Their intimated behavior only adds more jealousy from other women but why Nan Yu Qi should care, everything happened according to her plan. But something make her curious so she secretly peered to the man who stands far away behind her, she wants to see his reaction but unexpectedly that man didn't look at her at all but his eyes wander around to the view around him.

Nan Yu Qi feel a pang in her heart and her uplifted mood suddenly go down, she bites her lips in annoyed but she quickly collect herself, she can't let anyone realizes her sudden mood change especially Xie Hua Ling.

"What's wrong?" Xie Hua Ling lifts her chin gently.

Nan Yu Qi sweetly smiles "Nothing, I just can't wait to show off my beast to the society leader" she giggles softly.

"Naughty girl" Xe Hua Ling poked her nose dotingly "My father would praise you for sure"

Meanwhile, Zhao Li Xin is trying to control his annoyance, today he experiences everything he hates the most, it was crowded, loud and smelly perfume from all the men and women not to mention the bright color is everywhere, Lory once said to him whenever there's a celebration everyone dress so nice and bright it remains her 'neon party' in her world. Zhao Li Xin didn't know what is 'neon party' is but he surely will never attend it.

'Aah...I miss my wife' he laments to himself.

[Girsha, send your conscious to the banquet I need to guard my husband!] Lory suddenly shout.

[From what?] Girsha confused, from all the men and women he had been encounter it was undisputable that Zhao Li Xin is the strongest so why should they protect him?

[I don't care, there's someone controlling demon parasite out there, we can't let our guard down!] she righteously said.

[Really?] Girsha narrowed his eyes, who is she try to fool, she already gives Zhao Li Xin the protective amulet, all medium class cursed will be dispelled easily with that amulet much less a demon parasite.

Lory knew she got caught then she pursed her lips [There's a lot of beautiful women there, and he was alone, did Mo Ning yuan also attend the Banquet? Is she there?] lory rattled anxiously.

[I never knew you are the jealous type?] he teased.

[Me neither…] she sighs helplessly. She has never been in a relationship before not even a simple fling. For a long time, her focus is always been her family and Kingdom and as a princess of the most powerful Kingdom, she can take relationships lightly so she never experiences being possessive and jealous to other men.

[Oh well, I already send my consciousness inside the Banquet, why don't you see yourself] Girsha shrug his wings.

Lory widened her eyes in joy then she closed her eyes to connect her consciousness with Girsha when she opens her eyes, the iris dimmed with purple light and the scene in front of her change into a banquet.

Unbeknown by anyone a small grey bird hide between the beam on the roof, the little bird eyes illuminated with dimmed purple light. Lory searches for Zhao Li Xin and she found him lean on the wall in the corner while crossing her arms on his chest looking nonchalant. Because Zhao Li Xin using his disguised his appearance didn't attract women as he used to and because he is standing in the corner everyone knew he only a small disciple so no one care with him.

Lory was perplexed watching her husband, why her husband is never seated in the honorable seat even when he was the sixth Prince his seat is the and of the table for royalty, he is the most venerable man in the world where king and queen must bow their head towards him and yet he always put himself in the corner. Lory sighs heavily her husband is really eccentric.

On the other table, Chen Yi Suan is gritting her teeth watching Nan Yu Qi and Xie Hua Ling sending each other a loving gaze. Chen Yi Shuan is a fifteen years old woman with beautiful figure and lovely face because her childish personality and she was spoil in her family she doesn't have an elegant and dignified aura like Nan Yu Qi.

She always feel inferior in front of Nan Yu Qi but never in million years she would though her childhood sweetheart would be taken away by Nan Yu Qi under her own nose. She was heartbroken and crying for days but what can she do the man that professed his love towards her and promised to take her as his bride suddenly discard her as if she was nothing, suddenly he told her he only loves her like a sister but is there any brother who kissed his sister and grope her whenever he got the chance like Xie Hua Ling. Is lucky enough he doesn't lose her chastity in his hand.

Nan Yu Qi looks downcast as teardrop from her eyes, but she immediately wipes her eyes before anyone notices. A gentle hand suddenly patted her back "Don't be sad, I will avenge you" Chen Hu Yin with unwavering determination.

"Brother…" Chen Yi Suan looks at her brother pitifully "I hated Nan Yu Qi, I hated Xie Hua Ling, I hated them all" she clenched her fist as her eyes brimmed with deep hatred.

"I know, don't worry….your brother will take care of everything," he said gently and stroke his sister's head.

On the other table, Xie Xian Zie calmly drinks his wine, no one realizes the blood lust exude from his gaze. Xie Hua Ling raised his glass to cheers with Xie Xian Zie, he knew his brother is provoking him but Xie Xian Zie's face unperturbed he raised his cup to saluted Xie Hua Ling. From distance, they pretend as a close brother but for anyone who has keen eyes they would see the undeniable feud between them.

Zhao Li Xin sneer, it seems he doesn't need to intervene, the chaos inside the sacred mountain Peak was certain all he has to do is just spark the light and everything will be burned gravely. He better concentrate to get inside the old library.

[It seem something is deemed to happen] Girsha snickered.

[Oh yes, indeed…] Lory take out her kumquat candy from her ring and enjoyed the show.
