Many years have passed, Zhao Li Xin has returned to the Jiang Wei kingdom and continues to play his role as the weak and useless Prince, while Wei Zu Tian stops bothering Zhao Li Xin, he doesn't look for Zhao Li Xin any longer, but not because he loses his interest towards Zhao Li Xin, it just his narcissistic tendencies make him believe that Zhao Li Xin would come voluntarily to him one day.

He firmly believed Zhao Li Xin would value his own life and would not let himself die when he knew there was another way to survive, though Wei Zu Tian was not wrong, but he would never imagine there was a different kind of power that he could never imagine, a power like Lory and Lazarus.

​​

She had also made a huge mistake in judging Zhao Li Xin's character, had he realized that a man like Zhao Li Xin would rather destroy himself than lower his head in front of another man. Wei Zu Tian was not aware that his action only increased Zhao Li Xin's hatred for all of humanity. If it weren't for Lory, who knows what kind of calamity would have befallen this world.

"Why are you still here?" Lory's head peeked from behind the door.

Her sweet voice woke Zhao Li Xin from his contemplation, he lifted her head, instantly the ice in his eyes melted, "You haven't slept yet?" he beckoned Lory to come closer.

"I'm waiting for you ..." she complained but still obediently walked up to him.

Her pouting lips made her look even more adorable, Zhao Li Xin's face softened then he pulled Lory gently to sit on his lap. "It's my fault," he then pecked her red lips softly.

Lory couldn't hide her smile, she buried her blushing face on his neck then flirtatiously said "Why did you lock yourself in here after you finished your meeting, didn't you miss me at all?" she voiced another complaint like a spoiled child.

Lory may not have noticed that her coquettish voice was like a feather tickling Zhao Li Xin's heart, her seduction was too great that it almost caused him to follow his beastly instinct to devour her right here, right now, luckily he has long practiced self-control, Zhao Li Xin stroked Lory's back while trying to steady his own breath. "Impossible, how can I not miss you?"

Lory giggles lightly "I'm just kidding, I know you have a lot to do. I just feel lonely waiting for you"

"You feel lonely?" Zhao Li Xin asks calmly but his heart elated when Lory clinging to him.

"A bit…" Lory muttered.

"What a terrible sin I have committed ..." he grinned wickedly.

Lory can hear Zhao Li Xin's erratic heartbeat and his voice is getting heavy, she realizes that she has stirred up the hornet's nest, although she doesn't mind, she even holds some kinda expectation about it but when she remembers how big his appetited was Lory was a bit worry. well, is the same worry you will felt before you ride a roller coaster.

Lory suddenly raised her head from Zhao Li Xin shoulder "Is there anything you need to discuss with me? I have time!" she smoothly changes the conversation to divert his focus of course for a vigorous man like Zhao Li Xin it's impossible to change his mind from that 'matter'.

And the way she dressed didn't help either, Lory wear's flowery silk hanfu that slightly shows silhouetted of her figure, the white fox scarf that only covered her upper body sparked too much imagination of what lay behind it if that wasn't enough to stir a flame within him. Lory shifted her long, wavy blue hair onto her left shoulder revealing her beautiful swan neck and collarbone, Zhao Li Xin was almost sure she had come to seduce him which he gladly accepted.

"I have something to discuss with you" his Adam's apple bobbed.

"Oh, what is it?" Lory thought she managed to change his mind but somehow she didn't feel too happy about it, she was even worried that he begins to get used to her and their passionate phase had passed.

Zhao Li Xin saw a glint of disappointment in her eyes, Zhao Li Xin thought his princess was too cute that he completely unable to control himself, "This is a very urgent matter." he pulled his waist closer against him.

However, Lory was still oblivious, she straightened her back and looked at him seriously "What urgent matters?"

Zhao Li Xin nodded firmly "A very big problem, especially for me"

Since Zhao Li Xin rarely made jokes, Lory really thought he was serious, "What happened?" Lory suddenly became alert.

"Let's go to the bedroom first, I cannot show you here!" Zhao Li Xin said with a meaningful gaze.

'Show? Is it a CURSED?' Lory's eyes widened in shock.

Lory worries the matter was more serious than she thought, she immediately raised from his lap "Okay, let's go!" she becomes impatient and so does Zhao Li Xin but for a different reason.

"En!" Zhao Li Xin nodded, then he pulled Lory's hand out of the room in a hurry, Zhao Li Xin's hasty behavior made her feel more anxious, she was afraid that something bad had happened to Zhao Li Xin. Lory was too deep in thought, she missed the mischievous smile on Zhao Li Xin's handsome face.

Only when she was taken to the bed she realizes what his real intention is, trapped without no way out Lory could only submit to her fate, she admits it was her fault who 'poked the bear' first so she must bear the consequences.

Zhao Li Xin has been holding back for weeks, just like a person who abstains from eating meat and then is suddenly served with high-quality meat, no wonder he won't be able to contain his excitement. and a long, passionate but tiring night begins. If anyone thought that night Zhao Li Xin and Lory would do it multiple times then you are wrong, they only did it once but it lasted all night, it could take longer but Lory begged him to end it quickly before she fainted and so the mighty Lord reluctantly follow his princess orders.

The next morning Lory wakes up with a sore waist and weak legs, she doesn't want to get up but then she remembers today is the day they will leave Gui Hong continent and Lory doesn't know how she managed herself today, meanwhile Zhao Li Xin is sleeping soundly next to her, obviously he slept better after he cleaned her off from top to bottom.

Zhao Li Xin notice Lory's movement then he awoke. Zhao Li Xin props his head with his hand and give languid smiles towards her without guilt "Tired?" he asked.

Lory glared at him without saying a word. If it weren't for her healing gift she didn't know how could she get out of bed, but then Lory saw the scratch marks on her shoulders and chest, and the last night's image flashed through her mind then she could feel imaginary smoke coming from above her head, 'Is that hers?' Lory covered her red cheeks in shame.

"Sory…" Lory mutter in low voice.

Zhao Li Xin raised his eyebrows then he followed Lory's gaze to the mark on his body, a complacent smile appeared on his face "You can do more, I won't complain, actually I encourage you to do more…." he flirtatiously said, but deep down he wasn't kidding.

Lory pull the blanket over her head "Shut up!"

Zhao Li Xin chuckled, he didn't understand why Lory was still embarrassed with him, is not like this their first or second time. Then again he didn't understand how Lory's mind worked, but as long as she didn't hate it then everything was fine for him.

Zhao Li Xin, then gave Lory a bowl of warm water which Lory received shyly, only after she drank did she realize how dry her throat was. Lory's face turned red, even more, when she recalled how noisy she must be until her throat had gone dry like this.

Lory thought that because she came from a more open-minded world compared to this world she would have thicker skin but Lory forgot that even though she had more knowledge in this field but experiencing it herself were two different matters, Lory also did not know because people in this world are usually very conservative and more reserved it makes them more curious and creative with bedroom matters compared to people in her world who have the slogan 'Get in- get dirt- get out '

"Do you still want to sleep?" Zhao Li Xin fiddled with her hair.

"No ... I want to take a shower" she answered hoarsely.

"Together?" Zhao Li Xin raised his brows suggestively.

Lory exclaimed "Alone!"

Zhao Li Xin laughed not like he wanted to do anything to him he just wanted to test the waters, too bad his beautiful wife balked at it. He pushed the blanket from himself then walked bravely without wearing any clothes into the wardrobe in search of a clean robe. Lory's eyes were twitching, why is her husband so confident but if he had a perfectly carved body like Zhao Li Xin she might do the same.

Zhao Li Xin came out in a simple black inner robe then she walked back to the bed while carrying another robe for Lory "You want me to carry you to the bathroom?" Zhao Li Xin feels sorry for her but he won't apologize as he always repeats his mistakes. People say the desire between wife and husband will cool off after a year but why in her case it only got stronger? If it were up to him, he would probably never let Lory leave the bedroom for a week.

"Hmm, okay." Lory was too lazy to walk, she stretched out her hand for Zhao Li Xin to carry her. Zhao Li Xin was amused by his rare spoiled behavior, Zhao Li Xin then helped Lory to put on a clean robe and took her to the bathroom as a perfect gentleman should be, and then he also took a shower, but in a separate bathroom because he had no self-control when he was with her. While soaking in the giant bath he heard Mong Yi's voice came from outside.

"My lord, Elder Mu asked to meet you"

Mu Jan Ge is Tian Meng Ji good friend Zhao Li Xin wonder why he wants to meet him, although he wants to avoid everything that related to his former master, but he still has to give Mu Jan Ge a face since he is Li Mo Zhen master, "Tell him to wait" he gives a short reply.

"Yes, Milord!"
