Chapter 1039 Lucient’s Garb

? Even though it's only for the short time, Tao Bing Wen had proved himself as a worthy companion if not because of him Yang Xi Ying didn't know if she could make it this far therefore she share some kinda familial feeling toward him.

"He's all right, isn't he?" Yang Xi Ying asked Lory.

"He'll be fine, he's just tired" Lory mildly smile she then stood up and walk leisurely at the giant beast's carcass she pinch her chin as she examined the beast carefully and after a while, she blow her cheeks "No wonder you guys hurt so bad, you guys meeting with a chimera"

"Chim...me...was that the beast's name" Yang Xi Ying surprised "Do you know about the beast?"

Lory rests her arms on her hips while staring at the giant carcasses "A chimera is one of the 'priest' level beasts, Chimera was not born naturally like a normal beast it was deliberately made, no one knew how or who initiated this experiment or for what sick reasons, nevertheless the beast is known to be uncontrollable, ferocious, violent and very teritorial not to mention it got a very revolting appetite…" Lory glanced at yang Xi Ying for a second then away again

Yang Xi Ying could sense Lory was hiding something from her, "What kinda appetite?"

Lory scratched her head and appeared a bit conflicted, she didn't know if she should tell Yang Xi Ying about this, but Lory was worried about what kind of hybrid beasts they would encounter in the future, so perhaps is better for them to know in order to broaden their knowledge about Hybrid Beast.

"Well….it was said the beast feast human fetus" Lory bit her lips.

Yang Xi Ying's first reaction was instinctively cover her stomach with her arms in a protective manner at the same time her pale face as well as Ming Yue Yin's face turned stiff.

"Luckily this chimera is still young so even though it had made as a Hybrid beast but it is still easier to kill compared to a mature Chimera still we cannot let our guard down cause who knows what ability this beast had after consuming Lazarus blood"

"The beast is still a baby" both Ming Yue Yin and yang Xi Ying scream at the same time.

"Yup," Lory answered nonchalantly then slowly she opened her palms and six Trinity shards suddenly appeared then circled around Lory soon after the whole cave illuminated with blinding bright light that caused Ming Yue Yin and Yang Xi Ying to raise their arms to cover their eyes.

The shard flew higher and higher before piercing through the beast carcass in a quick movement after that the beast carcass gradually turn into black ash and disappeared quietly. Lory then clenched her fists and the shards disappeared together with the bright light.

Lory then clapped and said: "Now we're done!"

Seeing the giant carcass disappear gave Ming Yue Yin and Yang Xi Ying a sense of relief as they didn't know what kind of power the beast had, they were afraid that the beast would somehow be able to come back to life or something.

"Oh Lory, where is Lord long Ming?" only now did Yang Xi Ying realize that she did not see the gloomy handsome man that followed Lory like a shadow.

Ming Yue Yin also just realized, "Oh yeah, where is scary uncle, aren't you guys always together, you know like beggars with his bowls?"

"I demand a better parable, please" Lory raised her index finger as she was refuted.

Maybe because of the sounds around him Tao Bing Wen finally awoke with his head throbbing, Tao Bing Wen held his head and groaned in pain he then felt someone watching him, Tao Bing Wen notice the appearance of the tip of the shoe in front of him hence he lifted his head in reflex.

What he saw was a woman with long bluish hair with skin as pale as snow, and the woman purple eyes glittering under the dimmed light and she smirked, "Rise and shine, stupid"

<strong>"HUWAAAAAAA!!!"</strong> His scream reverberated throughout the cave.

Lory smiled in amusement, she looked at Ming Yue Yin and pointed, "Now the normal reaction I was expecting~"

"...."

"De…De…Demoness!" Tao Bing Wen backed away frantically trying to get as far away from Lory, he remembered his nanny often said that female demons had a different appearance to ordinary humans, and the more beautiful they were, the more dangerous they will be.

It was understandable for those who had never seen someone like Lory to believe she was something inhuman and Lory didn't feel offended either, instead, she found Tao Bing Wen's reaction quite refreshing as everyone's reactions were too calm.

"Hey, how dare you be rude to your savior!" Yang Xi Ying shot him a reprimanding look.

"Watch your mouth, stupid kid!" Ming Yue Yin also scolded Tao Bing Wen sternly.

Tao Bing Wen saw Yang Xi Ying looking fine he immediately felt happy and relieved, however, he did not understand why Yang Xi Ying defended the demoness he was also surprised by the appearance of another strange woman who was no less beautiful than Yang Xi Ying, but why does she look so fierce?

Lory saw their reaction and laughed "Don't be so hard on him, girls, his reaction is normal" Lory then sauntered to the end of the cave then flicked his wrist suddenly the ice wall burst from the ground creating an ice wall that hid her figure.

Lory changed his dirty and tattered clothes and then summon new clothes from her spatial ring once the clothes appear in his hand Lory stare at the slightly thick clothes for a moment after that she threw away his tattered clothes and then changed into black clothes then layer with in a dark purple military coat that extends down to her thighs.

Lory then looked at the chest plate which was part of the outfit then thought for a while before putting it back into her ring, after finishing dressing which took no more than two minutes Lory then took a deep breath then she become silent while subconsciously stroking the lucient crest sewn on the top of her sleeves.

"Lory, do you know why Lucicient's badge was placed on your right?" Marcus stood in front of him.

"Not really?" the fifteen years old Lory shook her head.

"Because you held your sword with your right hand," said Marcus

"Oh, is that why my insignia is on the left? Because I'm left-handed?'" Lucas tilted his head thoughtfully.

"Indeed, that's the reason" Marcus stroked the heads of the twins that had grown up so fast something unraveled in Marcus's eyes but only for a second before he continued "This is used as a reminder that when you swing your weapon you do it not for your own gain, nor for your own satisfaction, when you use your weapon you do it for your people, for your country, especially for the honor of Lucient, therefore, my child ingrained in your heart and mind that after you wear this uniform, you are bound by your oath and you remember your oath, don't you?"

Lory and Lucas exchanged glances then Lucas turn his head at his father and said "To protect the weak from the injustice and the wicked..."

Lory looks at her father with her purple gem-like eyes "We will thrive and we will never fail, whatever it takes...whatever it costs"

Tao Bing Wen looked around but didn't see any monsters or carcasses and what was more puzzling he found no scars on his body as far as he could remember he had quite a number of scars and bruises all over his body and as far as he remembered he was bitten by that poisonous snake then he should have been poisoned by now but why he felt nothing?

"Don't bother checking your wounds have all been healed by Lory" Yang Xi Ying said.

'',

"Lo...Lo...ry who?" Tao Bing Wen frowned.

Yang Xi Ying's expression softened then said: "Lory, but you know her as Luo Ri Yi, Long Ming's wife"

Tao Bing Wen gaped then his entire face scrunched up in discontent, "she's been hiding her true appearance! So she's been lying all along!" Tao Bing Wen felt that he had lied to his face therefore his tone was filled with conviction.

Dislike by Tao Bing wen's words Ming Yue Yin's face hardened, "Seeing your reaction, can you blame Lory for disguising herself! Stupid kid!" Ming Yue Yin scoffed loudly then flicked her sleeves then went to where Lory was.

Yang Xi Ying was also glaring at Tao Bing Wen if it wasn't for her remembering Tao Bing Wen had saved her life before she would have hit Tao Bing Wen's head.

'This chapter is updated by N(o)V(e)lB(i)n.',

Being scolded by all sides Tao Bing Wen shrank his neck never had he been treated like this by women since all the women in his sect used to treat him kindly and with sweet smiles.

"Why is she so rude, who does she think she is?" he grumbled.

"She is the empress of the Liang Zu family and the wife of the tribal king of the Zhuang Dong continent, Yuan Shao" Yang Xi Ying narrowed her eyes.

Tao Bing almost vomited blood, how could he not know the only female emperor in the world, rumors said with his own hands he saved the Liang Zu kingdom from bankruptcy and eliminated the long-rooted corruption in the kingdom.

Even though the Xing Fang continent was considered unimportant, it still couldn't be denied is not easy to lead a country let alone for a woman.

"Besides, Empress Ming was also the one who saved you and me from the fall, if not for her, do you think we would have survived and Lory has kindly healed all your wounds, including the poison inside you so, don't you think you had better things to say to them!" Yang Xi Ying folded her arms in front of her chest while reprimanding Tao Bing Wen firmly.

Tao Bing Wen may be petty with a narrow and rigid way of thinking like most people, but he can still tell the difference between right and wrong and he knows a favor should be repaid tenfold.

Tao Bing Wen lowered his head and answer weakly "I know..."

A satisfied smile bloomed on Yang Xi Ying's gentle face, she knew Bing Wen's Taoist nature very well he was too spoiled with proper guidance he would become a great man like his father and grandfather.

"Well, I also haven't thanked you for everything you've done for me therefore… thank you" Yang Xi Ying smiled gently at her.

Tao Bing Wen scratched his head with a flushed face while acting cool "It's..It's okay"

Yang Xi Ying turned her head while suppressing a smile, seeing Tao Bing Wen's cute expression, she now wished it was a boy.

Meanwhile, the ice walls melted into puddles then Lory appear in strange clothes but Ming Yue Yin yang who had a glimpse of Lory's world knew that they were the same clothes from Lory's old world.

Lory walked over while adjusting his sleeves then glanced at Ming Yue Yin as he said, "The living dragon remade my old uniform, the last time I wore it against the Sanguan families, Lao Min Na and Lazarus in the bamboo forest at that time, is it too much?" Lory gives a playful grin while opening her arms showing off her new looks.

Ming Yue Yin shook her head "No, you look good..." Ming Yue Yin said with a melancholy look, she just realize that time flies and it gives a bittersweet feeling.

"What?" Lory saw Ming Yue Yin's heavy expression.

"No, it's fine... it's just" Ming Yue Yin held her tongue, it was hard for her to describe the feelings she was feeling right now, "So much has happened, I feel like we are slowly reaching the end..."

"Ooh, come on! don't think too much about it, Brat!" Lory giggled while ruffling Ming Yue Yin's head roughly turning the top of Ming Yue Yin's head into a bird's nest, Lory then wrapped her arm around Ming Yue Yin's shoulder saying: "Nothing lasts forever brat, and all we have is between 'Hi' and 'Goodbye' so all we can do is make the most of it! so what do you think?"

"Yes…" Ming Yue Yin smiled faintly as she smoothed her hair after Lory ruffled it.

Ming Yue Yin peeked at Lory's side profile there was an inexplicable feeling surging within her that she couldn't explain, a better way to explain it was like the same feeling of an old man in their twilight, feeling that time was running out.
