The Princess And The Lord

"Li Xin...Li Xin...wake up...wake up!"

Zhao Li Xin jolted from the bed his eyes bulging widely as he stared blankly at the bed canopy he could his heart beating so loud as if it want to lep from his chest, it took a while before he notice cold sweat dripped down from his temple.

"Are you having nightmares again?" Lory's delicate oval face suddenly appear upon him, Zhao Li Xin stunned, she still couldn't tell the difference between dream and reality then the soft white moonlight seeped through the window lattice and shone through her long bluish hair, the soft light made Lory's hair color even more vivid and made a stark contrast to her snow white skin.

"Lory..." Zhao Li Xin raised his hand and then placed his palm on Lory's cheek immediately the warmth from her cheek transferred to his palm and Zhao Li Xin heaved a sigh of relief.

Lory  sense Zhao Li Xin chaotic mood so she took his hand and softly kiss the inside of his palm then smile at him "It seems you having a very bad dream, huh?"

Zhao Li Xin wiped the sweat on his forehead with his other hand then let out a long sigh "It was indeed a very bad dream..."

"Do you wanna talk about it? Lory ask while lay her head on Zhao Li Xin's chest in order to comfort him which is work! not long after Zhao Li Xin's heartbeat gradually returned to normal.

Zhao Li Xin slowly stroked Lory's head, he didn't say anything for a long time before giving a short answer in a strange voice and slightly choked "No...."

Lory didn't investigate further for fear of worsening his mood again, instead, she wrapped her arms around Zhao Li Xin's waist while pressing her ear on Zhao Li Xin hard chest by then Lory could indulged hersel with Zhao Li Xin heartbeat and both of them become quiet leaving only the sounds of the wind howling from outside the window hinting it was a peaceful night however none of them could back to their sleep.

Zhao Li Xin low voice suddenly break the silence, "This fight will be the final battle between us and that demon..."

"Are you afraid?" Lory ask casually.

"He's just another enemy I have to defeat..." Zhao Li Xin replied dryly then he became quiet again not long after he continued, "At least that's what I told myself but that's not true, unlike my previous fight is not the life that I put in the line, no ..this is much worse because it's your life"

Lory turn her head she put her chin on Zhao Li Xin's chest, Lory caressed Zhao Li Xin's well-defined jaw then her pink lips curled into a comprehending smile.

"I can't lose anything in this world even my life but I couldn't lose you...I just can't, and no matter what I think about it I just don't know how to live in the world without you being part of it" His beautiful onyx eyes bored into Lory's purple eyes.

"You never going to lose me, Li Xin, and I will not lose you too…" Lory's eyes spark as if a thousand of stars fill her eyes "The world is too big and lonely for me to live alone, you know I've been across the face of the world alone for a very long time and the truth is I don't have the strength to repeat that life for a second time, therefore, I will make sure we will always be together, with you and Girsha by my side cause with two naggers no matter how hard or dark our path will be I will walk through it, doesn't matter even if I have to live in that horrible darkness again"

Finally, a faint smile lighten Zhao Li Xin's gloomy face, he then cupped her face gently then pull her closer "You're right love, we will always be together, you are my light no matter how dark it is as long I have you I will never stray"

<strong>"LI XIN DON'T DO THIS!"</strong> Lory scream in despair.

The flames around Zhao Li Xin swirled around his body until it completely cover his whole body with burning flame, Lory was stunned cause Zhao Li Xin appearance right now reminded her wuth the fire creature she fought inside the ruin of the Yi Shan Mountain, Lory's heart immediately shuddered knowing what was possessing Zhao Li Xin at this moment.

Just like the meteor that Zhao Li Xin shot towards Lory at high speed, Lory waved her hand creating a giant ice wall in front of her, unfortunately the wall shattered only in one hit then Lory created another thicker ice wall but once again it was crushed easily by Zhao Li Xin, and it keeps repeating but both of them remain persistent.

No matter how many ice walls Lory made, Zhao Li Xin didn't slow down, he kept pushing relentlessly clearly determined to kill her at all cost, an intense pain gripped Lory's heart, it twisted and ripped her heart to the core numbing her entire body.

Lucas once said that Lucient's life was never supposed to be easy and fate was exceptionally cruel to them so how could there be any exceptions to her?

However,  Lory know she cannot give up then she begin to chant a spell all of a sudden the temperature around them started to drop and out of nowhere a thick white mist appeared from the surroundings which were against the common nature even for the cultivation world.

Everyone who saw this phenomenon was flabbergasted at the miraculous phenomenon as they saw the boiling lava and cold mist seems fought each other.

Lory's eyes shone brightly and white smoke came out of her breath hence her fair skin grew even paler until it looked like it was transparent.

Meanwhile, the white mist slowly managed to cool the surface of the lava then it begin to surround Zhao Li Xin not long after the fire on Zhao Li Xin's body slowly subsided little by little and the more Zhao Li Xin tried to fight back the thicker the mist become slowly and surely the fire that engulfs his body dissipated then Zhao Li Xin's skin slowly froze.

Seeing Zhao Li Xin screaming in agony, tears welled up in Lory's eyes soon the light in her eyes dimmed.

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry Li Xin, hold on a little longer...I will save you- I will save you!" Lory planned to separate Zhao Li Xin from the crimson Lightning sword because only then could she wake Zhao Li Xin from the crimson lightning sword's influence.

[Lory behind you!] Girsha sounds the alarm.

Lory felt the hairs on the nape of her neck rise up as if warning her of impending danger Lory reflexively jumped away she turn around and her wings spread out in the air Lory then waved her hand summoning several shots of icicles towards anyone who daring to sneak up behind her.

The enemy managed to shatter some flying icicles but one of the icicles managed to graze the enemy's cheek and black blood dripped from the enemy's wound before slowly the wound disappeared.

"You..." Lory's eyes narrowed.

Lao Min Na smirked "I thought you missed me so I came..." she taunted.

Lory wasn't in the mood to joke with Lao Min Na, she quickly summoned twin daggers from her ring and then lunged at Lao Min Na.

Lao Min Na's eyes shone with killing intent seeing Lory's unstable mental state Lao Min Na couldn't believe she couldn't match Lory therefore she subconsciously underestimate Lory.

meanwhile, Lory moved nimbly in the air, her movement was graceful but at the same time it was sharp and precise thus she managed to graze Lao Min Na's arms and stomach even though the wound healed shortly after that but Lory didn't care she was determined to inflicted wounds as much as she can on Lao Min Na.

Lao Min Na laughed at Lory's useless attacks he should have known how much damage given would be useless because she was able to heal herself, because of that Lao Min Na was increasingly convinced that she would be able win against Lory this time unfortunately this was not her turn to kill Lory because this job must be given to Zhao Li Xin, right now she just bought Zhao Li Xin some time to recover.
