Chapter 145 - Viciousness (1/2)
When she awoke the first thing she sees is a wooden roof, she confuses how can she stare at the roof then she see Girsha looking down on her from the table with a flat gaze.
[Awaked?] he asked casually.
Turns out half her body is on the floor while her leg is still on the bed, is she falling from the bed again the pained on the back of her head later confirmed her, Lory pull her leg from the bed she sprawls on the floor while massaged the back of her aching back head, then slowly she sits on the floor with a daze looks.
[What kinda dream this time?] Girsha could already guess what happened.
Lory takes a long breath then she raised from the floor, now she feels her waist sore too [A bloody one….] she said while twisting her waist left and right.
[There's a massacre….everyone is dead and….there's a man with white snow sword….] Lory drinks mineral water right from the jug in an unladylike manner.
[Man? Is it like Ming Yue Yin cased like before?] Girsha tilted his head.
Lory shakes her head [No…something is different, there's something dark about it...]
Suddenly someone knocks her door, Lory who was laying on the couch still not awaked from her drowsiness she called "Come in" lazily. The door is gently open from outside turn out it's Zhao Li Xin with his usual black robes.
"You awoke early today?" he said with a soft baritone voice.
"Hm…" Lory gives a perfunctory nod.
Zhao Li Xin smiles become a bit stiff, he worries she still angry "You talking with Girsha?" he heard sound from Lory's room, he knew it was Lory's speaking in another language while the birds chirping with a melodious sound like they talk to each other, that's how he knew Lory already awaked from her sleep.
"We are" she answers casually without trying to hide it, not as she bothered by it anyway
"You came early…" Lory asked casually, lately Zhao Li Xin is busy cultivating so she rarely saw him in the morning again something she didn't saw him at all for two days, she didn't mind him though.
To increase his level in short time he had been cultivating inside the ring, he also practice to control immortal flame with Huo Long that's why he had to neglect her for a few days he felt guilty but her safety is still his top priority so he can only choose to strengthen his cultivation only then he can be sure to protect her, but today is different he needs to make sure she's not angry anymore with him if not he couldn't concentrate to cultivate.
He takes a sits beside her, Lory shifts her body to give her more space but Zhao Li Xin thought it because she didn't want to get close with him, he feel someone squeeze his heart, he sits closer to her then he holds her hand tightly.
"Are you still angry? He makes an expression like an abandoned puppy.
"Huh?" Lory frowned, the truth is she already forgot about it. Lory is the type who would forget her anger after she's sleeping especially a petty problem like Tang Mei Yi, she already forgot long time ago the truth is she's not really angry she just show him her dissatisfaction about Tang Mei Yi but she's not blamed Zhao Li Xin at all, in short, she just pretending to be angry.
"Please don't be angry, I promised you I will never take any woman beside you even if my master forces me to, you know my feeling for you so you must assure other women is impossible for me…" he pleaded desperately, his long discussion with Bei Li Yan conclude that he needs to be honest with her and he needs to reassure her so she would not doubt him anymore.
Lory was puzzled and amused by his words, is not like she ever doubt him and with how Zhao Li Xin cold interaction with Tang Mei Yi she knew he never like her even the slightest, she just a bit upset that he never told her about his master try match Tang Mei Yi with him but then she realizes perhaps Zhao Li Xin never think about his Master request seriously that's why he forgot about it.
