The Princess And The Lord

Li Xin, can you put me down now?" Lory tilted her head with a pleading look.

Zhao Li Xin frowned, "You are still weak" he subtly refused her request.

"I'm fine, this much pain won't hurt me" Lory smiled widely trying to convince him.

Zhao Li Xin could only sigh in resignation before he put her down still her footing a bit wobbling thankfully Zhao Li Xin quickly hold her waist before she fall.

He gave Lory a reprimanding look and Lory replied with a pleading smile. Girsha looked at the couple in silence, Girsha knew Lory was stubborn and she could be cruel to herself thankfully Zhao Li Xin was there to take care of her, for that Girsha was grateful for Zhao Li Xin's existence so if something happened to him someday he wouldn't need to worry that no one will accompany his little girl.

"My Lord, Madam!" Mong Ki and Mong Yi are heading toward them at a long pace.

Lory turned around and see the Mong brothers then soon after Wu San Bo, Guan Men Niang, Jin Hao, and others also appeared and they headed towards her with faces brimmed with joy and relief.

Lory was also relieved to see they all looked fine, Lory waved her hand at them excitedly.

Ming Yue Yin's face lit up seeing Lory unharmed then immediately ran towards them leaving Yuan Shao.

Lory gave Yuan Shao a sorry look but Yuan Shao replied with a friendly smile. Guan Men Niang also looks overjoyed to see Lory and Zhao Li Xin doing well, meanwhile, next to her Wu San Bo patted her shoulder gently with an expression saying 'Told you, they will be fine'.

"Thank goodness you're fine!" Ming Yue Yin jumped at Lory while hugging her tightly, but Lory's body was unable to support Ming Yue Yin's weight she almost fell but again Zhao Li Xin held her back and Lory's back fell onto Zhao Li Xin's hard chest.

Ming Yue Yin quickly pulled herself from her and then immediately look at Lory worriedly "So you actually got hurt, huh?"

Lory laughed then say: "No, it's because you're too fat, you're gaining weight from the wedding, aren't you?" she teased.

"...."

Since Lory was still able to tease her it was a sign that Lory was fine, even though Ming Yue Yin was relieved but she still felt annoyance so she retort "I'm not fat, it's all just muscle!"

"Muscle woman? I don't think that's a good thing" Lory look at her with a pitying look.

Hearing their usual bickering everyone laughs and the atmosphere becomes lighter.

"Where is Wei Zu Tian?" Jin Hao opened the question.

"Dead," Zhao Li Xin replied curtly.

They are not surprised in fact they expected this outcome, after what Wei Zu Tian did to Lory, his fate has been set in stone the same as Lao Min Na, she only stood for so long because of Lazarus but soon she will face her demise just like everyone else.

"Milord, please tell me you didn't give Wei Zu Tian a quick death" There's a shade of disappointment on Wu San Bo's face, he hope he can give some piece of his fist to Wei Zu Tian after what he did to Guan Men Niang.

Zhao Li Xin smirked and Wu San Bo immediately got the answer he smiled happily while reminding himself not to doubt his Lord.

Meanwhile, Guan Men Niang was dumbfounded, it was hard to believe the man who had been the source of her misery and suffering had died just like that, even though she was completely elated still, something felt like there was a hole within her but not because she had the least bit of feeling to Wei Zu Tian or whatever but it felt like someone who was seriously ill then suddenly the illness that had tormented her for so long suddenly disappeared.

Seeing her become quiet Wu San Bo thought Guan Men Niang doubted Zhao Li Xin's words, Wu San Bo then pressed his hand on Guan Men Niang's shoulder gently, "Wei Zu Tian is dead, after what he did to young madam My lord won't let him keep on living, you can rest easy now"

Guan Men Niang shook his head with a gentle smile, "Of course, I believe in Lord Long Ming, it's just hard to believe that the monster finally died…" Guan Men Niang took a deep breath feeling a mixture of anger, sadness, and joy envelop her like a wave that swept over her and pushed her to the shore, after a long time, she was free.

"Milord, did Wei Zu Tian turn into a Lesser-Demon?" Bei Li Yan curiously asked after seeing that many members of the Heaven's Gate sect had turned into dark creatures even Duan Shu Shu had turned into a Lesser-Demon so he wondered if Wei Zu Tian would also be swayed by the temptation of having great power.

"No, even though he still uses Lao Min Na's medicine to a certain degree but he is too afraid of Lazarus that's why he refuses to get involved any further" Zhao Li Xin answer with an emotionless tone, he doesn't really care what Wei Zu Tian become anyway.

"But I guess it makes no difference" Lory interrupted "Lao Min Na's medicinal materials are from Lazarus, more or less Wei Zu Tian will still suffer the consequences, we just don't know what it is, yet" Lory's expression turned grim, and everyone turns silent.

A few minutes later Jiang Jin Wei and Lan Hua also came, seeing them together was very cute because of the stark difference not only in appearance but also in their aura and demeanor, but they looked good together. Lory narrowed his eyes, he felt that something was going on between them, Lory shot a curious look at Bei Li Yan and Bei Li Yan flick a cheeky smile to confirm Lory's curiosity, Immediately Lory's smile get brighter for she feel happy for them.

"Hey, why are you here, don't tell me we've finished destroying all of Heaven Gate's sect members?" Bei Li Yan half-jokingly ask.

Jiang Jin Wei shook his head, "Of course not, but the Sword Saint Sect led by Tao Ji Fang succeeded in persuading many sects to attack The Heaven's Gate Sect, so our task is reduced a lot" Jiang Jin Wei explained.

"Tao Ji Fang, the father of the stupid brat Tao Bing Wen?" Lory raised her brows but she didn't surprise he was coming. After all, the existence of Heaven's Gate had become a scourge for many sects. Unfortunately, none of them could take on the Heaven Gate Sect so it wasn't strange for Tao Ji Fang to accept Long Ming's invitation so easily.

"Yes madam, we provide weapons made of spirit stones and teach Tao Bing Wen how to purify Qi in order to deal with Lao Min Na creatures therefore they dare to fight against The Heaven's Gate sect" Jiang Jin Wei explained further.

Tao Ji Fang's and the other sect's arrival provided quite significant assistance as after all the members of the Heaven's Gate Sect were too much to count so it would be difficult to finish them all off and it would be even more difficult to prevent them all from escaping.

"What about the children?" Lory was concerned about the children born in the Heaven's Gate sect, no matter what they were innocent so Lory didn't want to hurt them.

Don't worry madam, my lord has given orders to release the innocent people who were also victims of the Heaven's Gate sect, and Wei Zu Tian and the children are still alive but I'm not sure how they will survive if people find out where they came from" Jiang Jin Wei pitied all the innocent women and children who might also fall victim to the Heaven's Gate sect.

"Leave it to fate, we already gave them a chance, is up to them from here on," said Jin Hao in a calm and steady voice, though it might sound cruel, however in this world, you can only depend on yourself to survive just like Zhao Li Xin and the others.

"Everyone, if nothing else I will excuse myself, I don't want to make my wife more worried than this" Li? Li Mo Zhen politely excused himself.

"Oh right, Xi Ying's pregnancy must have gotten quite big huh, do we still have time to visit her?" Ming Yue Yin turned her head to Zhao Li Xin and Lory like a kid asking cor permission.

Yuan Shao saw Ming Yue Yin not acting like an empress and was speechless, he couldn't imagine how those old officials would see their domineering empress acting like an obedient child.

Lory pressed her lips as she pondered, she thought they couldn't waste any more time because Lazarus had already shown his intention to get the sword therefore they had to hurry before Lazarus got ahead of them.

"We have time!" Zhao Li Xin said firmly.

Lory looked at Zhao Li Xin as he looked on with an unconvinced look.

"Your power has been exhausted, you need time to recuperate besides it is not too late to delay half a day before we go to Yi Shan mountain, after all, it is very dangerous to face Lazarus without full strength" Zhao Li Xin tried to reason with her.

"He's right, girl" Girsha agreed.

Lorry is barely able to win against one of them now they join forces so how could she win, Lory then lets out a long sigh "Fine, we can take a short break to replenish our stuff before we go" she reluctantly agrees with them.

Suddenly someone rushed towards them, that person's clothes were stained with blood, his chest heaving as he breathed erratically, as soon as he approached Li Mo Zhen, his face turned white with panic and quickly shouted, "Master, sect master!"

"Is he a member of your sect?" Wu San Bo was taken aback by the man's unkempt appearance.

Li Mo Zhen nodded "Yes..." Li Mo Zhen's face became tense, that man was supposed to protect Yang Xi Ying so why is he here? immediately Li Mo Zhen got a bad premonition.
