The Princess And The Lord

The half-woman-half-snake eyes gleamed with malice as she fiercely charged at Zhao Li Xin and because they were in a tight space it was difficult for Zhao Li Xin to move away from the creature's attacks.

Zhao Li Xin couldn't help but want to quickly get away from the creature not because of fear but rather disturbed by the creature's appearance, even though the creature's body is now covered with snake scales but it doesn't cover her ample chest that swings side to side wherever it moves.

And Zhao Li Xin who had never been interested in human anatomy other than Lory was so disturbed by the sight that he felt his stomach churn hence he couldn't take it anymore he freely released his Qi and instantly golden fire spread rapidly covering every inch of the barrier like a sea of fire soon after the blazing fire swallows everything inside the barrier including the Lesser-Demon.

The creature's struggled as Zhao Li Xin's flames scorched its skin and the creature's shrill sound reverberated throughout the cavern making the hairs of anyone who heard it raised.

However, Zhao Li Xin, who was filled with anger, didn't seem to hear the creature's screams, his cold-dark eyes stared at the creature that mercilessly burned, even so, Zhao Li Xin kept raising the temperature of his flames as he become impatient seeing that the creature was not dead, yet.

The heat inside the barrier was getting higher and higher until Lao Min Na's barrier made a cracking sound that indicated the barrier couldn't withstand Zhao Li Xin's strength any longer a second later Lao Min Na's barrier was swallowed by Zhao Li Xin's flame and so the disgusting creature that eventually burnt to dust.

Unfortunately, After Zhao Li Xin's fire was extinguished, Lao Min Na disappeared for a long time, it was obvious that she summoned the Little Demon to distract Zhao Li Xin so she could escape, realizing this anger flared up on Zhao Li Xin's face and his flames spread uncontrollably then devoured the entire cave and burned everything in that place including the rock which eventually turned into black charcoal.

Perhaps the most remarkable thing about Lao Min Na is her ability to slip between Zhao Li Xin's fingers like a slippery eel over and over again, unlike the others, Lao Min Na knows when to retreat and she never hesitates to run away shamelessly, unlike any other cultivators.

Zhao Li Xin took a deep inhaled trying to control his anger soon after he calm down the entire sea of ​​fire was sucked away by Zhao Li Xin's body and soon disappeared in the blink of an eye leaving only a burning smell and dark gray smoke.

Zhao Li Xin's brows furrowed once he realized that his clothes were tattered again by the flames, actually, Zhao Li Xin knew that his strength right now had grown at an incredible speed since he entered Yi Shan mountain causing the special robes that used to be able to withstand his immortal flame couldn't hold his current strength anymore, this should make Zhao Li Xin elated but after he heard what Lao Min Na said about Lazarus he couldn't stop feeling uneasy.

Zhao Li Xin didn't understand what Lazarus wanted, why didn't he destroy the only weapon that could kill him? why does it seem like Lazarus wants him to find the Crimson lightning sword? Is Lazarus not worried or maybe the demon underestimated him? if so, he would show how wrong that demon was.

The corner of Zhao Li Xin's lips moves slightly indicating a faint smile.

He will kill Lazarus with his own hands even if that is the last thing he do.

____________________________________

Huo Long had known Arthea for a long time and Lory had confirmed this herself, but since when they knew each other the answer was never clear, Huo Long had always shown a warm attitude towards Lory from the moment they met, he even give Lory a gentle gaze as if he already knew Lory before. But still, Lory doesn't know how her world and Zhao Li Xin's world are connected.

How are Arthea, Huo Long, and her parents connected to this world and why? is it because of her? is it because they want to save her? did they planed her to meet Zhao Li Xin so that they would work together in order to kill Lazarus? if it's just like that why must it be so complicated?...no, something is missing...

Lory woke up from her thought she then looked up at the golden throne that stood magnificently even times couldn't reduce its splendor.

"Emperor Lei Yu...." Lory mumbled softly and her eyes glinted as she spoke.

"Auntie, what are you thinking?" Ming Yue Yin felt Lory's strange gaze and become curious.

Lory was deep in thought, her eyes fluttering, a few rapid beats as she muttered silently and her fingers tapped her thigh rapidly indicating she was thinking very hard and couldn't be bothered.

"What's with her?" Tao Bing Wen whispered to Yang Xi Ying.

Ming Yue Yin and Yang Xi Ying exchanged worried looks, neither of them understanding what happened to Lory.

"Lord Girsha, is Lory okay?" Yang Xi Ying turned worriedly towards Girsha.

"I'm not sure..." Girsha frowned.

Ming Yue Yin bit her lip anxiously, she had never seen Lory like this before.

Only Tao Bing Wen widened her eyes and shrieked loudly, "It….it can TALK!"

Tao Bing wen's high-pitched voice startled Ming Yue Yin she reflexively covered one ear that was close to Tao Bing wen and then scolded Tao Bing Wen "Have you never heard of a talking celestial beast before?"

"I...I know but" he turned his disbelieving gaze back to Girsha. "I didn't know that the bird was a celestial beast?" Tao Bing Wen thought Girsha was just Lory's beautiful pet bird, how could he not? when they fought the bird remained by Yang Xi Ying's side leaving his master to fight all alone which he had never seen happened between the master and the contractual beast because of that Tao Bing Wen didn't think Girsha was a celestial beast, the bird was too relaxed.

"Actually, he's not a Celestial beast..." Yang Xi Ying tilted her head, he didn't know how to explain it without making the stupid boy make a fuss.

"What? then what is it?" his already wide eyes grew into wide circles.

Ming Yue Yin had just opened her mouth to speak when she saw a shadow skitter across the floor "Psst, something's coming!" Ming Yue Yin reflexively pulled Yang Xi Ying behind her then swiftly drew her sword.

"What!" Tao Bing Wen who had gotten used to the situation quickly drew his sword and quickly become vigilant, unlike the first time he was much more calm and steady now.

Suddenly hundreds of giant spiders skitter towards them with their eight legs, Ming Yue Yin could feel all the hairs on her body raise, "MORE BUGS!" she swung her sword vigorously creating a sharp wind that killed several spiders in one fell swoop.

Tao Bing Wen didn't hesitate this time, he stomp his feet to the ground and then swiftly lunged at the spiders in speed while swinging his sword steadily and killing the spiders in one smooth movement.

Lory snapped out of her thoughts then quickly realized what was happening and hastily created a barrier around her and Yang Xi Ying.

"More insects!" Lory's mouth twitched in disgust.

"It's actually an arachnid species" Yang Xi Ying diligently corrected her.

Lory waved her hand "Whatever, it's disgusting!"

Yang Xi Ying was relieved that Lory was back to her usual attitude, "Yes, they appeared out of nowhere" Yang Xi Ying add-in.

"Why so many of them here!" Lory shuddered to see a thick, dark yellow liquid dripping from between the spider's sharp teeth.

"Wait for it, the worst has yet to come...~" Girsha chirped playfully.

Lory's mouth formed an 'O' shape then suddenly Yang Xi Ying grabbed Lory's sleeve and pointed upwards "Lory look...up"

All Lory saw was a pair of gaping sharp fangs with dark yellow liquid dripping on them.

Instead of being afraid that Lory was prone to feel disgusted follow with a loud curse from the top of her lungs "SON OF A BITC*!!" Lory waved her hand and the ice spikes burst from the ground then swiftly shot the creature unfortunately it missed, The creature landed on the ground glaring fiercely at Lory.

"What an ugly creature?" Yang Xi Ying didn't hide her disdain.

The creature resembles a giant spider with eight legs with five long claws but has a bald head and large human-like arms.

"Lesser-Demon," Lory click her tongue in annoyance.

According to lory's explanation, lesser demons were humans who sold their humanity to high Demons to gain great power, but Yang Xi Ying still found it hard to understand that anyone would trade their humanity for power, is that worth it?!

The little devil's presence caught everyone's attention, especially Tao Bing Wen flabbergasted, "WHAT IS THAT?" this is his first time seeing a Leser-Demon so no wonder he was shocked.

"Lory!" Min Yue Yin didn't bother to answer Tao Bing Wen's question, for now, she was more worried about Lory and Yang Xi Ying.

"I GOT THIS!" Lory shouted back to reassure Ming Yue Yin then she turned towards Yang Xi Ying then reminded her with a serious face before she stepped out of the barrier "Stay here with Girsha"

"Lory, are you going to be okay?" Yang Xi Ying was a little hesitant to let Lory fight without Girsha, unlike before facing a Lesser-Demon was no easy matter.

"I'll be fine" Lory replied casually while taking out her bow from her ring then open her arms and say: "If I can't face one Lesser-Demon how will I face Lazarus later," Then Lory winks playfully at Girsha [Isn't that right old birdy]

[Careful, girl!] Girsha warns Lory.

Lory looks at The lesser Demon and grins excitedly [I always do]

[Oh, I believe you!] Girsha gave sarcastic remarks, obviously, he didn't believe her.

The Lesser-Demon spat a dark yellow liquid at Lory but she quickly dodged it, and the dark yellow liquid stuck to the rock behind Lory and continued to stick there, from the looks of it it seemed to be used as some kind of glue to trap its prey, and there was a high possibility the liquid is also poisonous.

Lory smacked her lips in disgust "Yuck,"
