Chapter 840 - Truce II (1/2)

Tian Meng Ji looks at her with doubt ”But, your appearance and power…it's not something I have ever seen before in my life?” he had gone to the others continent, and see many tribes from many kingdoms, but he never saw anyone like Lory before.

Lory give him an understanding smile ”I know everyone in this world has almost the same appearance so I'm not surprised you will be shocked to see someone like me but from where I come we have thousands of ethnicity and also races, therefore, we all have very distinct like color skin, different features also different hair colors and eyes  still we try to live in harmony needless to say they're still friction happen here and there but that's normal…and my power, well… a few people born with power like mine”

”You are a witch?” he blurts out his thought.

”No, a witch doesn't have innate power like mine instead they forcefully absorbed from another unscrupulous source then turn it into dark power while someone like me was born with this type of power that we called a Gift” Lory open her palm and water from around them suċkėd and float on Lory's hands, the water twirl like a small whirlwind as it suċkėd more water around them and transform into an ice flower.

”We called ourselves as the Gifted, some call us the caster or Mage but the Gifted is more well-known terms” Lory  Squeeze the ice flower and it transforms into a drip of water then it evaporated to the air living not a single trace.

Seeing Tian Meng Ji Lory's surprised expression smiled ”Just like our cultivation can also manifest objects of our own power but the source is different and so is the way to control it”

”Everyone in your world has the same power as you?” Tian Meng Ji was intrigued.

”No, just like cultivation, not everyone is born with this power and also likes cultivation, the power of their gift varies depending on the person itself but unlike cultivation, we can't change the amount of our power that was given to us, let's just say if you were born with weak mana which is Qi in your terms then we can't change it other than accept it. Meanwhile, Qi can be altered by using pills and elixirs from there you can slowly build your strength to a higher level, of course, there was a lack of basic foundations and breakthrough speed for people who used pills and elixirs to forcefully raise their cultivation nonetheless Qi could still have the possibility of being improved. Maybe that's why it's called Gift in the first place” Lory wryly smile, she always thought that cultivation is much better than gift..

Tian Meng Ji heard Lory's explanation in awe as he slowly lost his vigilance toward her. Listening to Lory's words was like opening a new world to an elder who thought he had seen everything in the world so how could he not be so excited. Tian Meng Ji didn't notice his face shining like a light bulb as he started to question Lory more about this newfound world.

Lory patiently explained everything to the curious old man, she knew the first step to acceptance was understanding so she helped any way she can for Tian Meng Ji to understand it, Lory hoped that after this Tian Meng Ji would understand her, Tian Meng Ji didn't have to like her but at least he understands that she didn't mean any harm to anyone especially to Zhao Li Xin and after this, she hoped someday Zhao Li Xin and Tian Meng Ji will be reconciled.

after a long chat, Lory took a sip of her tea, and her brows furrowed again. Tian Meng Ji also took a sip of his tea as he fell silent while digesting all the information he had heard.

Tian Meng Ji glanced at the strange-looking woman in front of him, after a while he somewhat got used to her appearance and she didn't look strange, she exuded a noble and dignified aura, she looked quiet but not shy, she was an honest woman and kind-hearted but most importantly in her eyes, she can see toughness, strength, and wisdom beyond her years, compared to Tang Mei Yi this woman wins with flying colors.

No wonder his disciple is crazy about her.

”They said you were born royalty?” Tian Meng Ji asked.

”Yes,” Lory nodded.

”What is your real name?”

”Lorient...Lorient Jean Frau Lucient, but people call me Lory” she replied.

”Lo-Ri?” Tian Meng Ji spell her name awkwardly as he stroked his beard then looked at Lory again ”Why are you here Lo – Ri?”

”Fate, I guess?” Lory shrugged.

Tian Meng Ji pursed his lips feeling unsatisfied by her reply and he continued, ”Then what is your purpose here?”

Lory smiled deeply ”That's what I'm trying to figure it out”
