The Princess And The Lord

They should go to buy their necessity yesterday but as expected something happened thus Lory woke up the next morning with a sore all over her body, she forgot how vigorous her husband was. Even though it was easy to heal her sore but nothing could help her from feeling groggy as if nothing inside her brain but shamelessly satisfied.

Luckily she managed to make a soundproof barrier around them since they stay in a cheap dorm so the thin is unavoidably thin so privacy is almost non existed, Lory glad she had all her power and she is not as helpless as when in the cultivator's world.

However, what makes Lory vexed is that the perpetrator is calmly sitting on the chair wearing a simple bathrobe he calmly sipped tea while looking out the window. The man look exceptionally beautiful like a painting then he felt Lory stare and he turn his head at Lory.

[You awake?] his voice was deep and seductive it force Lory to fully awake.

Even though they had been married for many years, Zhao Li Xin never failed to charm him with her appearance [Uhm, have you eaten breakfast yet?] She blurted out a stupid question, of course, Zhao Li Xin would not have breakfast without her, because the money was in the card, and Zhao Li Xin wouldn't know how to use it.

Lory's embarrassed face made his heart tingle but he didn't dare to tease her any further as he was afraid that he might not be able to control himself in the end [No, I'm waiting for you to have breakfast] 

[Oh, I take a quick shower then] Lory put the robe around her and then rush to the bathroom.

As soon as she stepped inside the bathroom, Lory feel smoke come from the top of her head, she felt ridiculous for acting like a newlywed, but what could she do when his simple smile never ceased making her heart flutter?

Lory smacked her cheeks to calm herself and just for today she doesn't mind having a cold shower to clear her head.

Thankfully when Lory finished taking a shower, Zhao Li Xin was already fully dressed. Lory then helped tie Zhao Li Xin's hair. Then she noticed that the end of his hair was damaged from yesterday's incident when Zhao Li Xin awakened the power of the immortal flame.

Lory was embarrassed she just realized now, how distracted she was yesterday?!

[Li Xin wants me to cut your damaged hair]

[Is up to you] Zhao Li Xin only now noticed his messy hair, normally he wouldn't accept this imperfection in himself as he was someone who demands the best not only for others but also himself, but after he met Lory he realize he became more relaxed more and more.

The damage to Zhao Li Xin's hair happened at the end of his hair so Lory got rid of the burnt hair luckily his hair is very long so even though after she cut it his hair was still fairly long only a bit below his shoulder, Lory sighs in relieve for managed to save his beautiful – smooth dark hair.

Suddenly Lory chuckles [Do you remember, usually it was you who took care of my hair] Lory braided Zhao Li Xin's hair while reminiscence about the past that seem so long ago.

[I still can do that for you] Zhao Li Xin smiles when he remembered Mong Ki and Mong Yi when they know he's the one styling Lory's hair, in fact, it becomes a big shock for everyone at Hei Shen sect but no one dares t talk about it.

[Okay done] Lory finished Zhao Li Xin's hair, [Let's go shopping now!] Lory can't hold her excitement.

Zhao Li Xin laughed, [You sure you don't need rest after last night]

[Shush, I'm fine!] Lory puffed out her blushing cheeks then snorted as she half ran out of the room.

Zhao Li Xin stifled a laugh and followed his grumpy wife.

A sunny morning greeted them with crowds of people passing by with cell phones in hand, laughing and shouting into their phones while other people sat in cafes and restaurants having breakfast while at the same time working on their tablets and laptops, and at other tables a group of people gathered with their friends and family, they are chatting and laughing enjoying the beautiful day.

Lory looked at the surrounding scenery with a feeling of nostalgia and a bit melancholy.

After seven years it seemed that the world had more or less returned to the day before the Nazareth's wreaked havoc.

Seeing how people move on with their lives makes all the pain, loss, sorrow, and sacrifice they made at that time, and all the lives that have been gone, so many deaths... including her own seem worth it. Lory smiled faintly, she had no regret other than contentment for everything ends well.

[Li Xin let's go to that place!] Lory pointed at the clothing store.

Zhao Li Xin let Lory drag him into the clothing store with a flat expression simply because he didn't know what to expect there, once he enter the store they quickly headed to the man's clothing.

While Lory was selecting clothes for him, Zhao Li Xin stared at the male mannequin wearing only shocking pink underwear while making a sexy pose with a deadpan expression.

'What a vulgar statue' Zhao Li Xin cursed whoever make this awful sclupture.

[Li Xin, try this, and this, it's good for!] Lory piled up various shirts and pants on Zhao Li Xin's hands.

The clueless Lord didn't sound any objection as she led Zhao Li Xin into the fitting room and Lory sat outside.

Every time Zhao Li Xin showed her the clothes she chose Lory clapped her hands overjoyed, she then added sweaters, jackets, and trench coats for Zhao Li Xin to try on.

Thankfully Lory thoughtful enough to chose simple style clothes with monochrome colors knowing Zhao Li Xin's stoic taste, so she made Zhao Li Xin wear a dark grey long-sleeve t-shirt, with black jeans and instantly he emerged like a runway model.

Zhao Li Xin looked at himself in the mirror, this time he was already more or less used to the style of this world so he didn't feel as awkward as before, still, he felt unsure cause even in the past he never cared about his appearance.

[Do I look okay] he asked Lory, 'cause he doesn't want embarrassed Lory when they walked together, Lory's eyes glittering she clasped her hands together with delight.

[You look soooooo, GORGEOUS!] Lory raised both her thumb excitedly.

Zhao Li Xin tilted his head amused by Lory's jolly mood, but a second later Lory's face suddenly became somber [Wait a minute, this is not good, you will attract men and women with this look!] Lory fell into a dilemma what should she do is not like she could cover Zhao Li Xin's face forever, right?

If only Zhao Li Xin heard what Lory thought he will say 'Yes you can!'

[Li Xin stay here, I'll find something to cover this...] Lory bit her lips then storm out of the fitting room and a few minutes later she came in with a face mask and a few sunglasses.

[Wear this!] Lory made Zhao Li Xin wear sunglasses and a face mask, hoping ins enough to contain his charms.

Zhao Li Xin had no problem covering her face in fact she felt more comfortable this way besides no one liked being looked at like a rare beast.

Lory assessed him up and down he thought this was not enough because everyone could guess from his posture that the man behind the mask must be beautiful besides Zhao Li Xin's charm was more than just his appearance it was his aloofness and noble aura but what else he could do, this was the maximum he could do.

Zhao Li Xin pulls the mask under his chin [Lory you also buy clothes for yourself right?]

Lory waved her hands casually [Yeah, you wait here, okay] Lory actually forgot about that, she went to the women's clothing store and casually took some clothes that she thought she needed, just like Zhao Li Xin, Lory also never bothered about her appearance for as long decent and appropriated that's good enough for her.

Lory came back with some clothes then replaced her old clothes with black backless sleeves, and blue skinny jeans, [This will do] she sigh, then got out of the fitting room, [I'm done let's pay!] her voice was devoid any excitement but Zhao Li Xin eyes widen once he saw Lory came up wearing the tight clothes that accentuated her figures.

Zhao Li Xin subconsciously hold his breath, the fire in his eyes was almost apparent he almost raised his objection when Lory suddenly wear black long cardigans that cover her bottom only then did Zhao Li Xin shut his mouth.

While waiting for payment at the cashier Lory tried on sunglasses then tried red lipstick for fun then decided to buy it, all that time Lory didn't realize the male cashier kept glancing at Lory as well as the men waiting for payment they all kept glancing at Lory smiling tried to get his attention but Lory was too dense to notice only the mighty Lord was boiling with jealousy.

In the cultivator world, because Lory borrowed Luo Ri's humble appearance, men rarely show interest in Lory because of their usual appearance, but in this world, Lory is a beautiful woman, even though she wears thick make-up, it doesn't hide her beauty.

"Are you a member miss?" the male cashier asks.

"No" Lory answered briefly.

"Do you want to make a member, we used to give a ten percent discount to members" the cashier tried to get his attention but what he wanted to know was Lory's name and telephone number.

Unfortunately, the beautiful red-haired woman in front of him kept shaking her head "No need, it's fine like this, thank you] Lory smiled as she took her shopping bag and walked out hand in hand with Zhao Li Xin.

[What is that man talking about?] Zhao Li Xin could guess that the man had ulterior motives with Lory.

[Oh cashier? he offered shop membership but I refused too much hassle,] Lory answered honestly completely unaware of how annoyed Zhao Li Xin was right now, fortunately, he was always good at hiding his feelings moreover he didn't want to upset Lory and it wasn't Lory's fault to be beautiful, what's more, he is also one of the men who are drawn to Lory's beauty.

Zhao Li Xin feels childish for worrying about petty things like that [Let me help you,] he took the bag from Lory's hands.

Lory who doesn't realize Zhao Li Xin's plight smile brightly [Thank you, honey!] the next second her eyes turn grim [Pull up your mask!]

[Oh..] Zhao Li Xin complied without asking why if only he knew that there was no one more petty than Lory now.
