The Princess And The Lord

Chapter 1247  When The Lord is Angry

When Zhao Li Xin entered the house Lory had just come down the stairs while wiping her hair with a towel, she looked very relaxed with an oversized long-sleeve t-shirt and lounge pants.

[Li Xin, I've been looking for you?] Lory's face automatically lit up when she found Zhao Li Xin.

[I just get some fresh air outside] A warm smile spread across his usually gloomy face. Lory didn't think anything was wrong, and Zhao Li Xin didn't explain further either. He took the towel from Lory's hands and then sat her on a chair after that he began to help Lory dry her hair with a towel using the heat that coming from his hands.

Lory closed her eyes while enjoying his care, she liked it more when Zhao Li Xin dried her hair than using a hair dryer which only made her hair feel dry and frizzy. [Oh, I forgot to ask what you did with that stupid guy?] Lory lifts her head.

[Huh?] Zhao Li Xin's face went blank.

[You forgot already?] Lory sighs, he can remember everything in a glance but it only took one day for him to forget about that poor basta*d, [Don't you remember? a muscular posture, tall, blonde, stupid face, hot-headed...come on!] Lory reminds him.

[...] Zhao Li Xin's face shows he had no recollection whatsoever.

[He wanted to attack me and you almost killed him!] Lory helplessly said.

[Ooohh...] Zhao Li Xin finally remembers. In his defense he's not the type to be considered insignificant, he's got Mong Ki and Mong Yi in charge of that.

Lory almost feels sorry for Liam, [Yes, you haven't told me what you've done to him? I feel his mana almost empty out, he would have fallen into a coma if I had not healed him, did you absorb his mana?] she whispered the last word as if worried someone would hear them.

[Yes] he answers briefly without care.

Lory turned her around with her jaw dropped, Zhao Li Xin kindly closed her jaw while saying: [Don't open your mouth too wide]

Lory didn't care, she looked at him with widened eyes [So it's true you can absorb other people's mana! why did I never know about this before?] Lory struggles to hold her voice from shouting.

[I just found out too] Zhao Li Xin replied nonchalantly while gently turning Lory's head to its original position and then continued drying Lory's hair as if nothing had happened.

Lory realized that Zhao Li Xin, as usual, did not understand how shocking what he had done to that stupid man, Afterward, Lory started to worry about what if other people found out about what Zhao Li Xin could do, what happened when their enemy knew about his ability? Many people would try to rope him into their group and many more people would feel threatened by his ability and try to kill him instead.

Knowing Zhao Li Xin's nature who doesn't like to be controlled by anyone, Lory is almost certain that he will not accept anyone's offer, and based on his attitude in the cultivation world Zhao Li Xin will not hesitate to wage war on anyone who dares threaten his freedom.

When that happened, Lory would naturally stand by his side. even though Lory believed that with their power, they would succeed in repelling all threats that approached them, however, Lory hoped in this world Zhao Li Xin could have a peaceful and quiet life where he wouldn't need to kill anyone to survive.

Lory took Zhao Li Xin's hand [Li Xin, don't let anyone know you can do okay, no one but me could know you could absorb other people's mana, okay.] She grips his hand intensely.

[Okay] Zhao Li Xin reassured her. It seemed absorbing mana was not a normal thing in this world therefore he noted himself to act more carefully in the future. Unlike In the past, he could act arbitrarily without caring because the only one who would bear the bad reputation is him.

However, in this world whatever he does will affect Lory's reputation as a Princess, and it is very likely that their enemies will take advantage of this to smear her name, therefore Zhao Li Xin vowed to suppress his wicked nature as much as possible.

Lory felt relieved and returned to the original conversation excitedly, Lory turned her head around again [By the way, can you also absorb mana from me? how about we try!] Lory wasn't afraid at all, she believed that Zhao Li Xin wouldn't hurt her.

Zhao Li Xin face turned dark [You want me to hurt you...again?]

The girl was not afraid for her own safety but it was not the same as Zhao Li Xin. Lory might not remember but how many times he saw Lory fall into a coma after she ran out of mana, how many times he remained anxiously by her bedside waiting for her to wake up,

at that time he always felt useless and helpless, he couldn't transfer his Qi to help her nor he can feed her any medicine to improve her condition all along all he could do was wait and wait until she wakes up, moreover he still unable to move on from the memory where he almost killed her. Lory realized she accidentally poked Zhao Li Xin's trauma, thus she quickly explained herself [Of course not! I know you will not hurt me, I'm just curious, how is it work anyway?] Zhao Li Xin folded the towel that had been used and then placed it on the other chair while explaining to the impatient princess [When I touched that man I felt something awaken my immortal flame and just like a magnet my flame absorbed that man's energy. I was also shocked by that, so I let my flame go freely to see what would happen and the result is as you can see]

Lory's purple eyes stare at him intently [How did it affect your flame, did your power increase?]

[No, that man power is so small it's like pouring a bucket of water into a lake, there's no use at all moreover I didn't absorb all his power completely] there was a hint of disappointment in Zhao Li Xin's voice.

Lory nodded in agreement [You're right, you let him go easily otherwise I wouldn't have been able to heal it quickly, replenish other people's mana isn't as easy as healing physical wounds]

[Fortunately, I didn't hurt him too much] Zhao Li Xin chimed in.

[Still, it must have traumatized him] Lory supported her chin.

[Well, it was a good lesson for him not to carelessly attack other people especially other people's wives when their husbands are around] he speak with condescending tone.

[If he was smart he would learn, though I doubt it...] Lory shrugged, it's not his problem anyway.

[Come on sit right here!] She patted the chair next to her.

Once Zhao Li Xin took a seat Lory asked again [So, your flame did not react when you touch me?] She felt rather disappointed.

Zhao Li Xin didn't understand why he felt disappointed, if that happened then the first time they met he could accidentally hurt her. If that happened he couldn't imagine how stressed and confused he would be after accidentally hurting his savior.

Zhao Li Xin shivered just thinking about it, but Lory didn't seem to take it seriously which annoyed her a lot. He poured mineral water into a glass and then drank it after that he looked at the clueless girl beside him [No, although there are other things in my body that react when I touch you...] he grinned mischievously.

Lory frowned, it took her a moment to understand what he meant immediately, she blushed [You're getting better at making dirty jokes] she huffed.

[Thank you] Zhao Li Xin smiles proudly.

[Is not a compliment!] Lory scoffed.

[Nevertheless, I'll take it as one] he bows his head courteously.

'What this, is he angry with me?' the veins on Lory's forehead popped. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

[You just make an excuse cause you don't want to test it with me aren't you!] Lory pouted. Zhao Li Xin's eyes darkened suddenly a fire sparked within him that gradually grew into a wildfire, [If you insisted to test it let's go upstairs] he spoke casually but there was a dangerous glint in his eyes, unfortunately, Lory missed it.

[Really?!] The stupid girl thought she had succeeded in persuading her husband as usual.

Zhao Li Xin got up from the chair and walked to the stairs. [Let's test it] he beckoned with his index finger to sign her to follow.

[Wait Up!] Lory chased Zhao Li Xin to the second floor.

Lory's hope was simple, she thought that if she could give his mana to Zhao Li Xin, he would become stronger therefore it would be safer for him to enter the labyrinth, unfortunately, she didn't realize she had been scammed. There is a suitable proverb for this situation, that is 'One should learn never stroke a tiger's whiskers'
