The Princess And The Lord

A guard peeked through the cell door window then he saw Su Sheng and Su Feng still sitting on the floor with drooping shoulders and their faces secretly down, he couldn't see their faces but was reassured that nothing strange had happened and he continued to check the other cells.

Jin Hua and Lan Hua secretly hide next to the steel door, they press their breath as the guards check the cell while Lan Hua pushes the two dead and unconscious man against the wall, only after they hear the guard's footstep moves away Jin Hua and Lan Hua dare to moves.

Su Feng glanced at the door and sighed "The guard has left" he said,

Jin Hua let out a long exhale then Lan Hua said "You guard the door, I will question this lucky man" she grin mischievously.

"Oh, okay!" Jin Hua quickly stands in front of the door to the lookout.

Lan Hua pushed the unconscious man onto his back with his feet, the man's nose was crushed almost flat with his face then his mouth and front shirt were covered in blood, obviously Jin Hua didn't reduce her strength when kicking this man, well at least his luck was a little better than the man who she kicked him to death...or maybe worse?

Lan Hua pushed the small bottle on the unconscious man's nose to sniff while saying: "Wakey-wakey~"

The man got up, his body jerked off from the floor but Lan Hua pointed her dagger at the man's neck as she glared at him with a sweet smile, "Don't move or you might hurt yourself" her voice was thick with a warning.

The man saw the pointed tip of the dagger pressing his neck then he felt a sense of panic his face instantly turned pale "Who... who are you?" his voice trembled with fear.

Lan Hua tilted her head and replied in a soft voice "No, it's not your time to ask, it's mine..." she pressed the tip of her dagger slightly against the man's neck and the pain made the man flinch, he quickly clamped his mouth.

Seeing the man being obedient Lan Hua eased the pressure on the dagger from the man's neck "Good, now tell me where did you keep the fifth elder?"

The man's face becomes tense he pressed his mouth into a thin line then avert Lan Hua's eyes "I..I don't know what you mean" he said weakly while looking down.

Obviously, the man lied, Lan Hua squints her eyes dangerously "Really, are you going to pretend to be stupid in front of me?" 

The man could feel the icy glare coming from Lan Hua but he didn't dare to reveal where Fifth elder whereabouts thus he insisted "I don't know, I really don't know!" he subconsciously raised his voice.

Lan Hua was annoyed by the man's stubbornness she wonder why people always make things hard for themselves? Lan Hua then took a deep breath, the man thought Lan Hua was giving up he reassured himself that the young girl just pretending to be fierce he felt a bit relaxed but all of a sudden Lan Hua slit his neck in a quick move right away blood spurted from his neck.

The man frantically tried to cover the wound with his hand but the blood continued to pour from his neck to his collar, the man looked at Lan Hua with a face of disbelief who would have thought this innocent and sweet-looking woman could be so savage.

"You have two minutes to talk before you bleed to death, if you tell me where Fifth Elder is I will save you," Lan Hua said in a calm manner as she wiped her dagger with the man's robes.

Su Feng and Su Sheng saw the despair in the eyes of the man who had just bullied them feeling gratified by his misery too bad he didn't have a chance to kill that man with his own hands.

The man could feel his consciousness slowly drifting away and bit by bit his body become cold from losing too much blood. He knew Lian Hua wasn't lying that he wouldn't last long with this much wound.

The thought of getting closer to death was like a needle piercing his skin quickly he began to beg desperately "Help...help...help me..."

"Where is the fifth elder?" Lan Hua hissed.

"He...he's on the ground floor below this place...he's on the west side of this place...help me!" The man could feel his body getting weaker and he was starting to have trouble breathing.

"How many people guard his place?" Lan Hua didn't care as she continued to dig up information from the man.

"Three, there are three...man...they are at the King level at...at the peak stage, now...now please help me...help me!" The man grabbed Lan Hua's hand but Lan Hua calmly shook her hand away from the man.

Her eyes were cold and dark as she watched the man struggle for his last hope soon his body slumped on the floor covered with blood slowly his eyes became dim until the light in his eyes completely dissipated it didn't take long until the man eventually stopped breathing.

Lan Hua checked the man's pulse to confirm that the man was really dead then Lan Hua patted her knee then stood up and spoke cheerfully, "We already know where the Fifth Elder's whereabouts, and I think your condition also got better, so… what are we waiting for? Let's find the old man!" Lan Hua's gleaming face no longer looked cold and cruel as if the woman that they saw earlier was nothing but an illusion.

Only now did Su Feng and Su Sheng realize that Lan Hua was more dangerous than she seemed to be, luckily she was on their side. Jin Hua doesn't care about the dead she knows these people have done a lot of cruel things to all the prisoners in this place for all she knew they deserve what coming for them.

"I didn't see anyone, let's go now!" Jin Hua opened the door she scanned surround her again before she sign everyone to follow her, soon the four of them left the prison block before someone will know Su Sheng and Su Feng has gone.

They left in a hurry hoping they weren't too late to save Fifth Elder, along the way Su Sheng recounted what they had experienced with Fourth Elder Zheng, it was most likely that Elder Zheng was the one leading the experiment run by Jin Kai if that was the case. The elder who supported Jin Kai was involved in this experiment and it was a big problem, Su Sheng felt that this would be the end for the Misty Lake Clan.

While listening to them, Jin Hua's face was covered with a mixture of anger and disappointment, she didn't understand why they had gone this far, was it really because of the thirst for strength and power? if that was true then Jin Hua would be even more confused.

what strength and power would they gain when the Misty Lake clan was destroyed, what was Jin Kai really thinking? because Jin Hua couldn't believe he didn't realize what he was doing.

when they reached the tunnel junction suddenly Lan Hua stopped her steps "Psst...there's a guard in front!" Lan Hua raised her hand to stop everyone's movement, they immediately fell silent and pressed their back against the wall while Lan Hua carefully peeked out from behind the wall, there Lan Hua saw two scary-looking men carrying large swords sheathed on their backs while guarding a path.

"You think they're guarding the way downstairs?" Jin Hua whispered in Lan Hua's ear.

"Seems like that, only this path is guarded," said Lan Hua while figuring out how to knock out the two guards without making a fuss as she contemplate she decide to do the old and most simple way which is a 'honey trap'

Lan Hua put on her veil again then she winks at Jin Hua "Wait here.."

Jin Hua didn't know what she was going to do but she put all her trust in Lan Hua, so did Su Sheng and Su Feng especially after seeing how calm and efficient her movements when making decisions, one couldn't make a better judgment without having a lot of experience before.

Lan Hua tossed her hair to the side while swaying her hips as she walked towards the guard at once her whole demeanor changed from that of a calm and composed woman to a seductress in a blink of an eye. Her sudden change stunned everyone including Jin Hua, even though Lan Hua sometimes acts flirty or speak coquettishly but she only acts like that among her female friends never Jin Hua saw Lan Hua flirt with other men including Bei Li Yan instead Lan Hua used to roll her eyes and sighed tiredly when she faces Bei Li Yan shenanigan, therefore, Jin Hua was surprised that Lan Hua can be so....sexy.
