The kissed is long, deep and gentle his hand run from her cheek to her neck hi other hand move slow on her waist he pulls her closer to sit on his laps, their chest pressed to each other the sound of smooching float on the air, Lory's eyes become hazy and her head feel blank she can't think anymore, she clench on his shoulder tightly, she slightly moans when his hand slip behind her robes and touch her bare skin and caress her back.

her body shuddered with every touch he makes, she didn't realize her hand also slip inside his robes and trail from his firm chest to his abdomen, her little finger ignited the fire inside of him suddenly his breathing become heavier, they move in rhythm and the kisses become wilder but then Lory remember the scary little mark on her back and most of all they are at the outside....again!! ​​

"Wait-wait-wait..." Lory tries to pull herself away from his lips but his hand clenched her nape she can't move her head so she blocked his lips with her hand.

"We are...outside..." she's panting.

"You want to go inside?" he said with a raspy voice while kissing on her lower jaws.

"No...that's not what...wait, listen to me!" Lory pushes his head away from her neck "We... we can't do it right now" she struggles to keep her mind straight especially when his eyes filled with passion stare at her with yearn and lust.

"When?" he looks at her with desperate eyes "You know how much I want you," he said almost like begging. Lory also desperate but he can't let him know about the cursed yet, the news is too devastating she fears how would he reacted.

"I know, I want you too" Lory pressed there forehead together "I'm sorry....can you wait?" Lory bites her lower lips to calmed the fire inside her chest.

Zhao Li Xin groans, he burry his face on her chest then she pulls out his hand from inside her robes and tightens his embrace on her waist, he takes a deep breath to calm his chaotic heart. he lifts his head and sighs "Of course...."

"I'm so sorry" Lory knew is hard for him to control his urged even her as a woman can barely control herself but she needs to hide this mark she also needs to be sure that this cursed would not hurt people who close to her just like the cursed of the white sword.

"That's okay, you worth to wait..." he smiles at her with his swollen red lips who only ignited the fire in her heart again, "Don't look at me like that" Zhao Li Xin complain "Is hard enough for me right now" he sincerely pleaded.

She does feel something hard poked on her butt 'It that very hard' Lory face become even redder than before, she don't know anymore is it because she's excited or shammed perhaps it was both.

"My bad..." Lory sigh, she raises from his laps while tidying her messy dress but then she realizes something "Where is my 'dudou'" she was sure she wore it before.

"It's here" Zhao Li Xin gives her a crumples dark blue cloth from the table.

Since when Zhao Li Xin takes out her undergarment, she was shocked "You're good" she's amazed.

he make complacent smiles "I know"

"Oh well I wear it later..." she need take off all of her robes to wear it this thing again what a hassle undergarment, Zhao Li Xin help her fixed her belt and hair "What would you do after this?" she casually asked.

"Cold bath," he said calmly "how about you?" he returns the question.

"Cold drink," Lory said nonchalantly, and they both have tacit understanding without probing any further, both of them let out a long heaved.

Suddenly lory enter the room she ignores Girsha and his three worshipers in the room, Lory slam the door and took the flask made from blue ice crystal to store cold water, she gulped the whole flask without stopping, Girsha also uses with her antics so he ignores her too.

Lory sigh after the cold spread on her tummy and calmed her down she plop on the chair then she props her head on the table with her arms, then she realizes Girsha is on the small platform who looks like a small bed made by gold and gems on the top of it's there's a red pillow with gold feather embroidery where he nestles comfortably like a king 'A cute king' to be exact, lory didn't bother to ask it's must be the three sacred beast doings.

The Monkey peel a grape for Girsha, the tiger clenched round paper fan to fanning Girsha while the qilin sits nearby watch Girsha with awed, Lory feel really bad for her disciple. the power of 'Blessed child' must be overrated, how could these beasts ignore their master and worship Girsha instead aren't they said the beast loyalty is unwavering? what a rubbish talk.

"Guys, what are you doing here, should all of you accompany Shin Jiu?" Lory feel perplexed.

"Master said, he need to concentration so he send us away," Gao Di assured Lory.

"We Visit the venerable ancestor because we missed him, please don't send us away" Bai Xi pleading pitifully they miss their God's tremendously, the ancient blood make the three celestial Beast drawn to him this is not something they can't fight against it.

"As long you don't neglect my cute disciple is okay for you to be here" Lory reprimand them.

"Yes, Great Lady we won't do that, we like Shin Jiu and he is our Master, you can be at eased we won't mistreated him," the Qilin raised from the floor he stomps his feet on the floor and bow courteously at her

'So I'm great Lady now?'

Lory ignores them, she takes another drink from the flask [I really really need to find the other fragments, can we do something?] Lory grumbles while resting her forehead on the table.

[You need at least a half of your previous power to begin the summoning] Girsha peck the grape from Gao Di hand.

[Uggh...I know.....] Lory muttered exasperatedly.

[Why do you suddenly become hurry, you just got the fragments a month a go]

[I just feel frustrated....] Lory sigh while pressing her cheek on the table to cool down her head.

[About what?] girsha confuses, the curse hasn't reacted for so long what make her impatient.

[sexually... frustrated....] she said quietly.
