Chapter 90 - The Mural

Zhao Li Xin not waiting for Huang Zi Feng's answer he flicks his robes and ignores him, Huang Zi Feng once again humiliated but Huang Ni Yang's admiration for Zhao Li Xin just increased again, she never saw anyone who can make her proud brother tongue-tied.

His power, temperament, and appearance no one can match him, Huang Ni Yang's obsession only grew further.

Lory already left crazy Huang Zi Feng the moment he complained, there must be something loose in his head why is he keep pestering Zhao Li Xin, if she have opponent like Zhao Li Xin she would keep her distance and less talking to him, if they must stay in the same room she would treat him like an air but why that Huang Zi Feng acted like crazy dog whenever Zhao Li Xin around, she concluded Huang Zi Feng is an 'M'

Lory examine the ruined just in case something overlooked, her eyes stop on the cracked wall she notices something behind the wall "What is that?" Lory leans towards the wall, it looks like a picture but it's cover with a thick wall. She looks around to find something to break the wall and something hit her, who need ax or hammer when she had personal 'Human demolition' with her.

"Li Xin~" she called sweetly, her friend used to run when she called them like that because that's mean she gonna give them a heavy job.

Hearing the familiar sweet voice, he comes right away "What's wrong?"

"Can you break the wall, I think something is behind the wall" Lory point at the wall in front of her.

"Hm, okay, step back a little" Zhao Li Xin then hit the wall in one hit the wall is breaking, behind the wall there's a carved painting, Lory gasped "It's a mural….." Lory touches the mural carefully, her curiosity peak he glances at Zhao Li Xin again "hit's all the wall but be careful not to ruin the wall behind it!"

Zhao Li Xin also got curious about the painting on the wall, he hit more wall the sounds oh bricks surprised everyone, Jin hao, and Bei Li Yan stand behind Lory only then they realized there's a six-meter painting behind the wall, the painting is so beautiful they never seen a lifelike painting like this before.

Everyone also takes a look at the giant painting, they feel shocked and overwhelmed by how big and beautiful the painting is, who makes this painting and why they cover it with a thick wall.

"What is this?" Bei Li Yan stares with awe, there are six different murals on the wall each of them is painted carefully to the detail make the painting looks real.

"It's a story…." Lory murmured.

"This picture about something falls on from the sky, like a star or meteor I think" Zhao Li Xin examined the first mural.

"A woman came to the man, is that woman a diety she looks weird" Bei Li Yan rubbed his chin.

Lory's hand trembles when she sees who is the deity was, that hair and that face she will never forget but why? Why is she here? What is happening?

[Arthea] Girsha said solemnly, he really has a bad feeling for this, nothing is good when that woman gets involved.

Huang Ni yang scoffed "It's just an old picture, it's not important!" she not think what Lory discover is important, she hated that woman because Zhao Li Xin pampered her so much, that cold face only change when he looking at that woman, Huang Ni yang wants to rip Lory face if she's not scared irked Zhao Li Xin "We should not waste our time here!" she pulls their attention to her again, she not used to be ignored.

"Then left…." Bei Li Yan rolls his eyes.

They hesitated at first but one by one left, they scared to get inside the tomb but the rumor about a month of treasure push their fears away not to mention if they can find the cure for the princess, how great it must be.

Huang Ni Yang reluctant to left without Zhao Li Xin, but that man didn't care for her not once he glances at her his eyes follow that woman, she knew because her eyes following him.

"Yang er!!" Huang Zi Feng harshly called his lovesick sister.

"Leave, don't wait for him...ever" Bei Li Yan gives her a firm warning, he saw too many women like Huang Ni yang before and all of them would lose their dignity or their limbs even their lives at the end no one left unscathed. His Lord is a cruel and vicious man even if he ever has a heart he already gives everything to Luo Ri Yi, he had nothing but cruelty.

Huang Ni Yang pursed her lips she clenched her sleeve, she not understands the kind warning from Bei Li Yan. She thought he wants to hinder her to get closed with Zhao Li Xin, she will never stop! Huang Ni yang leave in harrumph she stomps her feet and walks away, Huang Zi Feng left with a scowl on his face followed by the tattered white robes people.

Bei Li Yan snickered 'someone is gonna be dead' he mutters to himself.

Lory heart race rapidly, her eyes glued at Arthea painting, she remembered Djevelskrin, the snakes slithering on her body, Lazarus vicious words, the mark on her body, and Lazarus hissed

'SHE'S MINE!!'

then Girsha screaming frantically 'LORY!!'

The black wings behind her back suddenly emerged.

Lucas's face appears, he screams at her desperately 'NO, LORY!!' his hand trying to reach her.

As if a lightning strikes her, her body becomes limp she kneeled on the floor while both her hands cover her ears and shut her eyes tightly she keep mumble "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry....." like broken record, she keeps repeating her world, Zhao Li Xin didn't know what happened he hold her shivering body, she looks very scared and he never saw her scared not even once.

He didn't know what to do, his subordinated also confused one minuted she looks okay another minuted she acted like she have seizure, no one knows what to do so Zhao Li Xin only hold her tightly "Don't be afraid, I'm here" he repeating his words on her ears over and over again until she calmed down.

Lory clenched fall asleep in his arms she clenched on his collar like her life depend on it, Zhao Li Xin scared she would hurt her hands but he can let go of her hand from his robes.

He gives up eventually, just like a big baby he put her on his laps while embracing her. Jin Hao check her wrist he told Zhao Li Xin she's fine but he still worried, Zhao Li Xin's face remains tensed and Girsha perch on Zhao Li Xin shoulder for the first time.

"What happened to her?" Zhao Li Xin glances at the bird on his shoulder even though he knew he wouldn't answer.

"Why she keeps making me worried?" Zhao Li Xin sighs.

[Welcome to my world...]

Mong Ki examined the mural for hours until Mong Yi come to him "What are you looking at?" Mong Yi curiously asks.

Mong ki eyes remain on the mural as if he afraid to miss something "Miss Luo become panic the moment she saw this picture"

Bei Li Yan hears Mong Ki words he also becomes curious, Zhao Li Xin and Jin hao also hear what he said,

"Something in this picture frightening her" Mong Ki eyes pierce on the wall painting "You know, I have seen Miss Luo surprised, confused, worry, nervous, sad but I never once saw her scared, and she had been through quite a scary situation including fighting with beast, but she's not scared…."

Mong Yi agreed "Miss Luo is quite an enigma isn't she, sometimes she acted like a lowly servant, sometimes she gracefull like a noble daughter, sometimes she wise like a teacher, sometimes she resilient like a hunter...…sometime I wonder where is she come from"

"Doesn't matter, she is our future madam," Mong Ki said with certainty.

Lory sleeps in Zhao Li Xin arms, once a while she muttering 'I'm sorry' Zhao Li Xin aching every time she pleaded that words, he doesn't know whose the one she begging for, he pulls her body closer to him.

In her mind she keep saying sorry, sorry for not saved her father, sorry for released Lazarus from his cage, Sorry for make a deal with the Demon, sorry for involved Girsha, sorry for being weak, sorry she couldn't live without her brother, sorry for leaving Lucas behind, sorry for leaving everyone behind, sorry for the lie, sorry for the pained she caused, sorry for being selfish...….sorry, I'm truly sorry.

"I 'm…. sorry…' she muttered again.
