The Princess And The Lord

On another carriage another man was also overwhelmed by jealousy, Lory didn't know why he becomes tensed all of the sudden. Lory slide to his side then rest her chin on his shoulder "Why are you angry?"

"I'm not…" he shortly replies, Zhao Li Xin still wears his mask so Lory can see his expression but she knew he is angry.

"You are!" Lory whine.

"I'm not!" he insists.

"You are!" she refused to yield.

the back and forth bickering make him sigh and he don't make further response.

Lory feel wronged, she is clueless why Zhao Li Xin mad at her when she hadn't done anything wrong….not that she knows of.

"Why don't you take off your mask and look at me?" she protests.

She becomes upset when he gives her old shoulder "Are you bored with me? you don't want me anymore, do you? If you hate me you should have told me so!" what she hates the most is being ignored, she rather has Zhao Li Xin scolded her instead.

Suddenly she swipes to his lap them he throws his mask to the side and glared at Lory "What are you talking about with that shitty man, huh?"

Lory was confused at first "What shitty man…..do you mean, Sanguan Wu-mph!"

He abruptly put his long index finger on her mouth "Don't you dare calls his name!" anger and bitterness apparent in his face, he never felt so much hatred for one man, even when she was beaten, kicked, and spat by everyone when he was a kid he never hates them this much, he could feel a blaze of fire burned inside him like a wildfire eat swallow every sense inside him, it was a miracle he could left peacefully without shedding any blood right there – right then.

Lory didn't know how angry furious Zhao Li Xin right now, maybe because it never crossed her mind that Zhao Li Xin will never hurt her so Lory never afraid of him. Other people would already pass out when they saw Zhao Li Xin like this but Lory smiles brightly then circle her arms around his neck and softly kissed his lips.

The sweet kiss from her instantly reduced the anger inside him quite a lot, Zhao Li Xin's expression milder after one simple kissed.

"I ask him to send a message for Lao Min Na that's all…" her mood soar when she knew he jealous of her.

"But why are you smiling?" he still upset whenever he pictured her smiles to that rotten man.

"Am I smiling?" she doesn't remember "I'm not smiling because I'm happy though…."

"Don't do that again, don't smile to that man or any man, in fact, don't meet him ever again!" he sternly reprimand her.

"Is not like I want to meet him, it just coincidence that we met then he offers to walk us out, I think he does that to help the third prince, you know what, I think the third prince have 'thing' for that brat" Lory make quotation mark with her hands which is weird because no one in here knows about quotation marks.

Zhao Li Xin didn't know what that gesture all about but he understands that the third Prince might like Ming Yue Yin but that is not the problem, "Why you let him escort you?"

Lory rolls her eyes tiredly "It's late, I'm tired, and I don't want to waste my time playing 'tug and war' with them so I just said yes and get over with it beside…I missed my husband and can't wait to go home" she pursed her lips adorably.

Zhao Li Xin cannot angry anymore when his princess acted like this, he only poked her nose "Don't let that happened again!"

"Okay…" she make cheeky smiles then kisses him again while giggling softly. Knowing he jealous of her make her feel ecstatic, other women might not like a possessive man but not her since she also very possessive, however, she can control her feeling better than Zhao Li Xin. After all, she only has one chance to fall in love in her lifetime so is understandable she becomes possessive.

Zhao Li Xin pulls his lip away from her slightly "You know what would happen if you seduce me, don't you…" he said in a low husky voice as he stares at her deeply with burning lust grow inside him.

"Well, I could have guessed but I'm tired so you must be the one who does all the job…." She bites her lower lips for holding her giggles and shyness, her coquettish behavior is like a bomb for Zhao li Xin mind, whatever self-control he had was broken the moment he saw her like this.

"You ask for it!" he devilishly smiles.

Thankfully they reach Tie Shan manor not long after so she can avoid being ravished inside the carriage, she is not brazen enough to do it outside. It was a long, wild, and passionate night, she knows she eventually takes responsibility after she overstimulated the demon lord.

She always perplexed why Zhao Li Xin never shows any disgusted with her cursed body, is it because there's no stigma about cursed people in this world, or perhaps is only him, nonetheless, he never treated her differently from the first time they met until this day.

"Awaked?" he caresses her cheek with the backside of his hand.

Her eyelashes fluttered as she tries to open her heavy eyelids, she lay face down while snuggling inside the blanket "I'm so tired…" she weakly said.

"Even though I'm the one who does all the work…" he said with an alluring voice.

Lory smiles with her eyes close "No one told you to be an overachiever"

"Bad habit hard to kill..." he snickered.

"By the way…" Lory snuggle on his chest then she stares at him with her big purple iris "Are you not cultivating today, you used to left every morning to cultivate"

"No, it's no use, I already at Sage level if I want to have a breakthrough I must find a good opportunity, like facing the water tornado at the stormed, that's a good one..."

"In short, you must push your strength to the maximum before you can have another breakthrough?" Lory conclude.

"Something like that, the cultivating I'm doing now only able to strengthen my foundation but to have the breakthrough I must encounter something as strong as me" Zhao Li Xin sigh while stroking her hair "Oh yeah, today I have a meeting with Sanguan Jin Sheng" he suddenly shifts the conversation.

"Really, why all of the sudden?" she got really suspicious.

Zhao Li Xin smirked "To be exact, the one he wants to meet is Sanguan Mu Yi son, he still had no clue about my identity yet" he lazily said.

"Are you going to be okay…that man is your biological father" Lory worriedly say, the more she knows about the Sanguan family the more she hopes Zhao Li Xin stay away from them because she can smell greed miles away from Sanguan Jin Sheng and sanguan Liu Wen and if they know that their descendant is Long Ming would they let Zhao Li Xin go? of course not!

"My wife seems worried…" he jest while patting her head "Your husband is not so easy to defeat, not even sanguan family could match my power so don't worry too much – that's my job"

Lory pouted feeling annoy, is he telling her she always make him worry? She does, but he should not be so blunt.

Zhao Li Xin stop teasing her after he saw her puffing cheeks "I'll be fine, Sanguan family knew something about the crimson lightning sword, he might know more than I imagine, I can miss this opportunity"

"I know, I also have felt the story of the first king might be connected with me – with us, but….uncover your past might not be a good thing, I just don't what you to be hurt after you know the truth" Lory feel uncomfortable whenever she imagines Sanguan Jin Sheng get too close to Zhao Li Xin, that man is not good for her husband.

"Hurt me?" Zhao Li Xin rarely laugh but today he laughs heartily "I ve been roamed around the cultivator world since I was ten, I fight against many powerful enemies and no one succeeds to killed me and for the last five years there not one people able to touch the tip of my sleeves…except you"

"When did I hurt you?" she said in protest.

"Look my shoulder, whose bitemark do you think it is..." he shows a clear red mark on his shoulder and Lory blushed. She could feel smoke came from the top of her head, Lory enjoys watching her embarrassed then continue "Do you want me to show you my back, I believe there are a few new scratches on my body right now, not like I'm complaining though"

Lory shrinks her neck "I'm sorry…." Not even her know when she scratched Zhao Li Xin neither she realizes she had bitten him last night, her face turn bright red whenever she saw the marks on his perfect body, Lory can't see that obscene scars anymore, she raised her hand "Let me erase it with my gift"

"No way is mine!"

"....."
