Chapter 655 - Peculiar Situation

"Where is Jin Kai now?" Lory ask.

"He is here now, he came with a lot of money and a bunch of experts, it looks like he prepares for war" Bei Li Yan smirk.

Lory tapped her fingers on the table and rest her head on her fist seemingly unbothered by the situation but then she calmly says: "Watch Jin Kai closely, we don't know where Lao Min Na is but we know where Jin Kai is, soon or later he would have a meeting with Lao Min Na"

"Lazarus could give her anything but money, she would need Jin Kai for it, we can't get too close with Lao Min Na but we can get close with Jin Kai, I believe his plan is in line with Lao Min Na, if we know what his plan is maybe we would know what Lao Mi Na up to…" 

Wu San Bo and Bei Li Yan nod their head "Yes, young madam"

"Oh yeah, send the result of our meeting to Jiang Jin Wei, we need to prepare if Lao Min Na wants to create another Beast tide, and spread the result about the strange Beast after Jin Hao finishes examined them, I already talk with Ming Yue Yin about this, let Hei Shen and general Fu work together to handle this master and see if there any apparition of strange beast somewhere in Xing fang continent, oh we also better to warn Zhao Yi Chen too, since we have an amicable relationship to each other and I heard Zhao Yi Chen is formidable general, it's not hurt to remind him as well…" Lory rub her cheeks as she ponders if she already conveys everything to them.

"What about the array, we should ask Li Xin if there any array to protect people from the beast…we can plan an array in a small village, I don't think the military kingdom able to protect everyone" she clasped her hands together on the table and sigh "Is a large scales project, we would need a lot of people we can ask Jiu Yun sect help in this matter, but we must do this in discreet we can't scared people, after all this only hypothesis situation…. but take this as a precaution"

"We still have to make sure what Lao Min Na plan with the beast...this is our priority!"

"Yes, young madam!" they both replied simultaneously.

"You guys have anything to add in? I don't have a deep understanding of how diplomacy works in this world since we will need to share what we found to others kingdom so I let this matter to you guys, is it up to you how to convey this matter with other people but try to be discreet, is that okay?"

Wu San Bo and Bei Li Yan exchange gaze and smiles, Lory didn't realize she showcased her ability to lead like an experienced leader, she is calm and meticulous, she didn't rash and arrogant, she knew her ability and her limit and didn't ashamed to ask for an assistant when she needs it. Wu san Bo and Bei Li Yan could not be proud, they feel lucky for not serving one talented master but two, both of them have different methods nonetheless they are smart and farsight leaders.

"No, I think is enough, for now, we will inform you after we finish our job," said Bei Li Yan.

"Okay, then..dismissed!" she knocks on the table twice.

"…." They stare at Lory confusedly.

Lory sheepishly smiles "Sorry, old habit hard to die…"

"That doesn't sound bad….we are dismissed then" Wu San Bo tilted his head, he genuinely thought is not a bad gesture to end the discussion.

"Let's do that for now, I think Milord wouldn't mind~" Bei Li Yan chuckles lightly, sound like the Hei Shen sect would add another strange tradition.

After the meeting Lory back to her room, she lay on her big comfortable bed after a long relaxing bath. A lot of questions cross her mind she feel tired but she can't sleep. The beast tide is bad enough but now adding the hybrid beast in the situation she can't imagine the chaos that would happen, to combine two or three types of the beast and add Demon parasite in the mix what kinda a crazy recipe that demon cooking.

She feel her head spinning, maybe she got vertigo, Lory laughs her own thought, could she got vertigo with a healing gift inside her? she pinches her glabella to eased her chaotic mind.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="/book/the-princess-and-the-lord_14331250406080205/peculiar-situation_51038456373105751">/book/the-princess-and-the-lord_14331250406080205/peculiar-situation_51038456373105751</a> for visiting.

"Are you okay?" a low melodious voice awakened her from her stupor.

She opens her eyes and stunned "Li Xin, what are you doing here?"

"You think I will not check your condition by myself after I know what you have done" he raised her eyebrows as he pretends to be mad.

"Please don't nag me today, I'm tired…" she acts spoiled in front of him.

The henpecked husband of cour have no immunity against her cuteness, he pinches her nose "You are not hurt so I will not preach today"

"Good, here – sleep here" Lory patted the place beside her.

The coldness in his face disappeared without a trace, is like the sun rises after a long winter Zhao Li Xin's smiles could melt any woman's heart if only Bai Xue could see his face right now. Zhao Li Xin rest beside her, Lory used his arm as a pillow which he doesn't mind at all.

"Do they already report everything to you?" Lory snuggles on his shoulder and rests her hand on his c.h.e.s.t.

"Yes, I heard everything, by the way, you lead them well perhaps I should give the sect position to you"

"No, thank you" she answered quickly "I want to be the legendary pampered wife….I will live leisurely and spend my husband money as a normal woman would"

"If I remember the last time you used my money was when you with Shin Jiu, since then you never use my money again except for eating outside"

"Really? Then you should stop filling my room with clothes and jewelry, you know my drawer can't hold so many dresses" she complains.

"But that the basic way of pampering…." Zhao Li Xin justifies himself.

"...…."

'Well he's right'

Lory let out a long sigh "I'm not good with it, don't I?"

"En, you are not faith the life of ordinary…." he kissed the top of her head, there's a sense of pity in his voice. He never met anyone who craved ordinary life like Lory. His princess never wishes for glorious life, she never dreams to stand on the peak of a mountain, she never wanted to be extraordinary because she knew the cost she must pay.

"I know…but whenever I saw a family on the street, the mother and father with their children spend their time together I feel envious, I know I should not envy what other people had but I can't help it…." She bitterly smiles.

"Raised in a loving family, go to school, spend your time with your friends, get in a little trouble once a while then fell in love, married, have children and die in old age…..it's ordinary life but it's a faraway dream for me"

Zhao Li Xin pulls her inside his embraces, he hug her waist tightly "We will have children, and we will grow old together, I will prove it to you is not a faraway dream"

Lory giggles, she knew this is not up to them where the faith lead them but just for the thought, she feel happy.

'We are Lucient Lory, our life is not supposed to be easy, our life is a mixture of glory and tragedy, it's our faith'

"It's all burned up?" Lao Min Na's beautiful face scrunched up.

"Yes, master!" the subordinate anxiously kneel on the ground "We send one of us to check the condition of the cave but we didn't hear anything about him for two days so we send another people there when he came there everything already burned to the ground" the subordinated didn't dare to stare at his master eyes.

He was one of few people who served Lao Min Na from the beginning, she once helps him from slavery although the reason she recruited him is because of his strength not because of the kindness of her heart still he felt grateful to her. Lao Min Na once quite nice and understanding to her own people but she is cruel and merciless to her enemy. 

However, she changes a lot lately is not an abrupt change but gradually, she becomes more ruthless, easily annoyed, and…restless. She punishes her own people severely just for small mistakes, many were killed by her own hands even though their mistakes is not as grave as he thought, the truth is he becomes more doubtful with his own master, if not because she still has the same look he might think someone replaces his master with someone else.

"It seems you're in trouble again Min Na?"

A curvaceous lady with loose robes from one of her shoulders lean on the door frame, her giggles is clear and crisp, the lady is very alluring however there's a hint of danger around her, something that make the hair behind his neck raise.

Lao Min Na's expression darkens "Find who Is responsible for this, don't disappoint me" she warned him sternly.

He could feel cold sweat-drenched on his back, he nods his head obediently "Yes Master!" then the subordinated left in hurry, he just glad he can make it out alive, recently his master temperament become much worst and there are people who came and go at his master side, he doesn't know who they are, it can be men or women, young, middle-age but they only stay for a week or two sometime only a day, he recognizes some of them like master Yang Qiong Yan but the others are only strangers.

When one disappeared another person would replace that person the strange thing is although they all different but they all got the same aura, same expression, same eyes…..even Yang Qiong Yan's master has the same eyes before he suddenly dies mysteriously, no one knows why he died? nobody dares to ask anyway, but one thing is certain there something peculiar about his master.
