Knowing is too late to hide her identity Lory takes off her mask, her eyes glowing like a star in a dark sky, Sanguan Wu Ci can't help but srized by her. Lory didn't what he think about her nor she cares too much, obviously, Sanguan Wu Ci and Zhao Li Xin stand on the opposite side that make Sanguan Wu Ci is her enemy.
"Surprise?" Lory opens her arms in glee without show any fear or anxiety in her bright eyes.
"Miss Luo, if you need anything you should've told , is not save to sneak around like this," he says politely almost as if he genuinely concern for her wellbeing, the intimidating aura around him gradually dissipated.
"Oh dear, I don't know you can be so gracious master sanguan" she sarcastically replies, is hard for Lory to believe that sanguan Wu Ci would sincerely help her, after all, nothing is free in this world or any world…
He knows Lory didn't believe him, Sanguan Wu Ci admires her cleverness but at the sa ti, he feel disappointed. He had t many won who are strong, smart, and cunning like Princess Youya and Bai Xue, he knows everyone has their soft spot, sothing that make them weak and easily manipulated, it can be pride, vanity, reputation even love, but Luo Ri Yi is nothing like them.
She hides his weakness very well maybe because she never let him get too close, the more he knows about her the less he understands her, the first ti he knows her he thought he stay with Long Ming because of his power and wealth but she never flaunts how much Long Ming pampered her, and he also never heard the rumor about her involvent in any Hei Shen business, it seems all these ti she just lives quietly like a useless vase.
Then sanguan Wu Ci though she is a frail power who shields under long Ming protection, however, the sa weak woman is able to hurt him with her mysterious power so who is she?
"Who are you? why can't I feel any Qi circulated on your body, are wearing armant to hide your Qi?" he looks at lory curiously while his eyes scrutinize her body.
Lory didn't say anything as she gives him vague smiles, the best lie is the one without explanation let them find their own reasoning since the human mind would automatically eliminate all impossible probability and make their own reason so why bother.
Lory give a half-shrug as she says casually "Oh well, is late, I better go ho now, my husband waiting"
Sanguan Wu Ci's expression darkens when she ntions Long Ming, a wave of envy and jealousy surged within him, he hates knowing she returns to Long Ming's side and wrapped in his embraces.
"You think you can leave after you breach into my manor?" he scoffed.
Lory pretend to be shocked she covers her mouth like a timid little girl "Oh my, what would you do?"
Her blatant mockery didn't upset him, on contrary she looks very adorable when she joke on him "Is already late, why don't miss Lao stay here for tonight?" he smiles warmly.
"YOU DARE!" Mong Yi shouted furiously, if a married woman stays in other people's residence who is not their family what people would think, is Sanguan Wu Ci deliberately want to make people think madam cuckold milord and ruined madam reputation at the sa ti.
As a matter of fact, that is what Sanguan Wu Ci plans to do, he wants to humiliate Long Ming at the sa ti court Long Ming's wife, he can't marry her but that doesn't an he can't shake her heart isn't it.
Lory squints her eyes dangerously "Is not good to provoke master sanguan?"
"Oh really?" he teased her with a flirtatious smile. Her angry face is like a kitten bearing her little fangs so cute in every way but he is wrong, Lory is far from a harmless kitten, if only he know what she could do with her real power Sanguan Wu Ci will never take her lightly.
'Ice Thorns' she chanted inwardly then swiftly waved her right hand.
From beneath the ground, dozens of ice spikes erged from beneath the ground. Sanguan Wu Ci didn't expect this, he takes a quick leap but more spikes erged from the ground one by one it chassed sanguan Wu Ci as if the spikes are alive.
Once again he takes out his sword to block the sharp eyes slicing his body in two, he swings his sword rapidly and the ice shatters.
Her eyes shined in dimd purple light, it was a mistake for sanguan Wu Ci anger her, just like Zhao Li Xin she hated when soone tries to hurt her man, she smirks coldly watching sanguan Wu Ci dodging her ice spikes that ca from the ground like giant hedgehog spines, she knew is not enough against sovereign cultivator.
Lory takes out her bow and arrow from her ring, slowly she stretches the string, her eyes follow Sanguan Wu Ci movent. Mong Yi watches Lory and subconsciously gulped, the coldness in her eyes shows no hesitation or pity is obvious she has no qualm to kill Sanguan Wu Ci.
Lory can be gentle as an angel for the people she loves but she is a rciless warrior to her enemy, her father thought her that kind and pitty is human nature but as a leader, she should never hesitate because it would cost the lives of people that care for her and Lory learned the hard way when she forgives the enemy that tries to kill her, turn out the enemy is pretend to be pitiful, he points hi gun at her when she loses her guard down, Fargo was shielded her.
She could never forget his blood tainted her cheeks, she can't forget the sound of his body falling on the floor, the wet on her cheek, the sll of tallic that strike her noise, it was the first ti she uses her healing power to other people in a brink of death, thankfully the bullet missed Fargo heart so she could help if not – no matter how powerful her gift was she can't bring back the dead.
Since then Lory never hesitated again, when she fights her enemy she fights to killed and sanguan Wu Ci is her enemy.
Sanguan Wu Ci feel the cold sharp air run towards him, he released his powerful Qi then make a wide swing and everything around him explode, the ice shattered then turn to puddles then the puddles evaporated and transform into a thick mist.
Between the chaos around him, he saw Lory figures gradually hidden behind the mist, before she disappeared completely she gives her warning.
"Next ti, I'll aim your head"
He takes a long leaped towards her however his hand grabs the air and she disappeared with the mist. Sanguan Wu Ci stunned, he clenched his hands angrily, he almost touches her but she slipped through his finger just like a wind. He clenched his jaw exasperatedly.
The yearning in his heart increasing like a tidal wave it feel overwhelming 'I want her' there's a trace of obsession in his eyes. As sanguan family first master and the next successor of his family he always indulged by everyone around him, and coincidently he was always a bright child, he always on the top in everything he does among his peers make everyone admired and envious.
In this world there's nothing out of reach for Sanguan Wu Ci, nothing could stop him either until he t Lory. She is Long Ming's wife, maybe if soone else wife he could kill the husband and take her away but Long Ming is a powerful opponent, even his arrogant father didn't dare to act rashly in front of Long Ming moreover him.
The clenched tighten he didn't realize his nail dig his skin make his knuckle pale.
'I have to be stronger'
He said to himself if he becos stronger he would able to kill Long ming and take his wife as a reward, even though he couldn't make her an official wife because of her past but is not impossible to make her his concubines, is like killing two bird with one stone, his imagination runs wild then a cold sneer erged on his handso face.
Lory who still clueless about what Sanguan Wu Ci thought was bouncing between the roof then soon after they arrive at Tie shan manor. Lory is relieved they manage to get away, she worries not only because sanguan Wu Ci is a strong opponent she also worries Sanguan family hidden guard would co if they stay longer, luckily they manage to get away without a scratch, well at least she was can say the sa about Mong Yi.
"You okay?" Lory patted Mong Yi's shoulder worriedly.
"It's nothing young madam, how about you madam, are you hurt?" he is more anxious for Lory safety.
"Don't worry, I'm good" she assured him.
"Thank God.." he sighs in relief but then he recalled Sanguan Wu Ci's audacity he got upset again "That man is obnoxious, how dare he dare to think about you like that, I must report this to Milord!" he spat angrily.
"Nah, I think he just wants to provoke " Lory didn't believe an opportunistic chauvinist man like Sanguan Wu Ci will not be attracted to a woman like her, a man like him is the type of man who is looking for a 'trophy wife' soone he can show off, he would never lay his hand to the woman who can't give him benefit, however, but one day Lory would be surprised.
"Still, he is too strong, I wonder what he ate to be that strong in less than a month, his cultivation almost reaches the sage level" Mong Yi face scrunched up as he got anxious.
"I thought all of you got stronger in a short amount of ti too?"
"But, not that fast!" Mong Yi shakes his head "It feels unnatural for , I must consult this matter to master Jin, I also need to report to milord and send ssage to other king palaces"
"Yeah, you got a lot of things to do, you should get rest" Lory pitty this overworked subordinate, she should ask Zhao Li Xin to give him incentive for working overti.
"Thank you, madam, excuse , please have a good rest" he cupped his fist respectfully.
"Okay, thank you for tonight assistance"
"My pleasure" he bows his head before he left.
Lory then return to her room, since the adrenaline was gone the sore and the fatigue finally reach her. she carelessly takes off her glove and throw it on the table then she takes off her robes and pants-wearing only red dudou, suddenly her shoulder sting and Lory wince slightly, she looks on her shoulder and notices her red and blue bruised perhaps it because the impact when she hit the wall.
[You don't heal yourself?] Girsha erged from her chest, the white orbs transform into a bird then flapping his wings in front of Lory.
[Nah, it just a small bruise, I already exhaust my mana for today after all it's about ti for my body trained with pain" she slowly massage her bruised to stimulate blood circulation. When she was at the early day of her training there was a ti she forbid to used her healing power so her body would get used to pain, a brutal way to make her body numbed with pain so if soday sothing hinders her healing ability she would not be panic.
Turn out not only her shoulder that bruised, her calf and elbow also bruised and there's a faint scratch on her finger, but it's also proof that she lacked training, Lory reminds herself to trained more tomorrow.
"LORIENT JEAN FRAU LUCIENT, what the hell is happening to you?!"
The loud shout startles her, the tone sounds familiar, she turns her head to the door in motion then smile wryly "You're ho!"
'I'm dead!'
