The Princess And The Lord

Jin Hua returned to her room he sat on the arhat chair in the lotus position while cultivating the way hse was taught by Jin Hao, the three crystal plants around her created a triangular shape then the crystal absorbed the Qi from outside and pulled it inside the triangle and make the space inside the triangle filled with the condensed and rich Qi thus make Jin Hua could absorb the Qi easily, with this advance technique that Jin Hao taught her.

Jin Hua's cultivation increases at an unimaginable speed no wonder all Hei Shen sect members are very strong turn out they have a special way to cultivating, however, as this could trigger unwanted attention from bad people, Jin Hao gave her a talisman to cover her progress as competition within the Misty Lake could be deadly.

Two hours later Jin Hua finished cultivating, suddenly the window inside her room make a squeaking sound, Jin Hao turned her head and from the window, a brown hamster slipped into her room, the fat hamster ran towards her then Jin Hua lowered her hand to pick up the fatty little hamster.

"Po-po you're here!" Jin Hua rubbed her cheek against the hamster's soft body happily, "Do you have something for me?"

The hamster wiggled its small nose the hamster opened its mouth wide, surprisingly the hamster's jaw could open five times wider than a normal hamster and then the hamster spat out a golden tube from her mouth into Jin Hua's hand. Jin Hua smiled happily, "Good boy!" she kissed the hamster then she put down the hamster to the floor.

Actually, Jin Hua's hamster is not an ordinary hamster but a special type of beast called 'Furry plunder' although rather than beast people treat this creature more like vermin, and people tend to hate this type of creature, but no one knows that the Furry plunder has a very unique traits.

Inside the creature's belly, they have a small pouch that they use to store food for the winter but sometimes these creatures like to steal shiny things like beads, rings, earrings, and such, hence the name 'furry Plunder' got from most people thought the creatures hidden inside the loot in their burrow but no one knows that the creatures hid the precious loot inside their body only if their no more space inside their pouch they left outside for this creatures is quite greedy.

Long ago Jin Hua found this creature by accident when she was a child, at that time after Jin Hao was gone, a little furry plunder sneak into her room and stole her pendant that was given by Jin Hao for her birthday, of course, Jin Hua chased the creature relentlessly and that's how she found the burrow whereof a horde of furry plunder live within her own yard, needless to say, furry plunder later become her first contractual beast.

And now she was using these little plunders to exchange messages with Jin Hua who was staying outside due to the tight situation inside the Misty Lake area.

Jin Hua made the decision for Jin Hao's subordinates and Lan Hua to stay outside, that way they could see Jin Kai's movements outside while she watched Jin Kai inside the Misty Lake area, and if anything happened they wouldn't all be trapped inside Misty Lake clan territory at the same time.

Jin Hua took out a letter from the tube and read it carefully, The letter said Jin Kai had invited someone to Misty Lake territory, the person was hidden under the cloak but from the body figure the person most likely was a man, strangely Jin Kai did not take the person to special guest residence instead he took that mysterious man to his private residence and again Jin Kai did so very secretly so most people from the Misty Lake clan didn't have a clue about this mysterious person's arrival.

Jin Hua's brows gradually furrowed, she was worried about what Jin Kai was planning next, she wondered if this had anything to do with the fifth elder? Jin Hua threw the letter into the furnace and watched it burn completely after that she sigh and leaned her back on the arhat chair, although she feel conflicted it seemed she had to approach Su Miao Lin as soon as possible.

The next day Jin Hua who already disguised herself and wearing a skin mask headed to where Su Miao Lin used to be, that girl loved to entertain herself in the west garden where most of the young women in the clan spend their time there. The Garden was big and beautiful surrounded by flower three, and gardenia flower plants together with rose shrubs there was also a man-made waterfall upon the giant pond with lotus flowers floating on the surface and colorful Koi fish swimming inside the pond.

From all of the places in the Misty Lake clan perhaps this is the only place that still maintains consider the members of the clan had been shrinking quite a lot and they don't have enough servants to maintain the wide area of the Misty lake clan living place because of that this garden that used to be full with young girls laughter now is quite empty only two or three young girl presence with their maids and they all gather inside the pavilion.

When Jin Hua saw them his heart sank into his stomach, he could guess what kind of girl they were and what conversation they had, he knew very well that he wouldn't get along, he never did!

Jin Hua took a deep breath then walked towards them not long after he faintly heard them talking.

"This place has become very boring, I want to go to the city, I heard the view of Sun Jan city is very good this time of the month," said the woman with pink chrysanthemum hairpin and bright pink hanfu.

"Me too, it's so boring here and everyone is sick and leaving, why can we go too?" said the girl with soft peach and white hanfu, she looks soft and cute, her pout only makes her look even more adorable.

"It's because of the Hei Shen sect!" Su Miao Lin suddenly pounded the table furiously. Because the medicine that Miss Lao Min Na gave was too strong many of our people had some kind of resistance towards the pill and they all fell ill when Master Jin Kai kindly sent them to Miss Lao Min Na's place for treatment who would have thought they were attacked by Long Ming of the Hei Shen sect, as a result, many of our people died, because of this we are not allowed to leave the territory of Misty Lake, clan!" Su Miou Lin spat her rage freely.

Jin Hua was stunned for a second her pace halted, it's dawn on her how Jin Kai cover his bad deed, just like she thought JinKai blamed everything on Lord Long Ming.

Jin Hua's mouth is set in a firm line as she tries to control the boiling anger inside her, at the same time she also feels sorry for these girls for being gullible with the situation outside.

Although sad this is not strange in the misty lake clan, for women who don't take the path of cultivator they are raised like cattle even though they don't realize it, they are given the best clothes, jewelry, food, and living space they also taught the four arts to make them looks culture, however, none of them are taught to think critically or independently, since they could remember they were taught to follow their parents, brothers and family elders, they did not allow to speak their mind, or make opinion cause being obedient and simple-minded was considered a virtue and was highly praised therefore these women grew up to be innocent and oblivious to the reality outside their clan.

As a result, they are easier to manipulate and control, when they mature like cattle they will be given to the person who makes the most profitable offer.

Luckily Jin Hua was raised by Jin Hao although Jin Hao didn't deliberately teach her per see since he was a child too at that time, however, whenever Jin Hao gave Jin Hua candy or something he would say to Jin Hua 'Choose which one you want - make your own decisions - you have the right brain, use it!' he always forces Jin Hua to make her own decision since she was a little.

Although in the end, Jin Hao disappeared from her life, however, his teachings were engraved in her heart, maybe because she missed the only brother she had so dearly that Jin Hua cherished all the memories left by Jin Hao and tried to live up to his expectation, thanks to that Jin Hua grew into what she is today.
