The Princess And The Lord

Chapter 452 - The Last Stage

From a distance Lory hears the sounds of footsteps increasing, Lory realizes the commotion must alert everyone. The courtyard around them scorched and the building where their bedroom was half burns, there's no way she could hide it.

Zhao Li Xin and Lory exchanged a glance, Lory want to activate the shapeshifter spell but the mark on Zhao Li Xin wrist disappeared, Lory was dumbfounded she want to ask but then she realizes something very important, her husband is butt naked!

​​

Meanwhile, the sounds of footsteps are getting louder, Lory becomes panic "We need to hide!" she clenched his arms.

"Okay..." he answers calmly, he pulls Lory closer than the two of them disappeared on thin air.

When the members of sacred Mountain peak arrived they saw no one but scorched courtyard. They all look petrified, they didn't know what kinda power created such a mess, some of them thought it probably cause by an explosive but then why they didn't hear exploding sounds.

Meanwhile, Lory and Zhao Li Xin arrived inside the spatial ring. Lory sigh in relief she looks down and her face suddenly blushed, her face is so hot she could feel imaginary smoked came from the top of his head. She forgot he is naked and she accidentally saw his 'little brother' who is not so little.

On the other hand, Zhao Li Xin didn't care at all, there are only Huo Long and Lory around him so why should he care. Lory immediately take off her outer robes and wrapped it around his waist. Zhao Li Xin chuckles watching her clumsy moves "Why are you still shy, there's nothing in my body you haven't seen or touch before"

"Milord, decency is a must!" she said with strick expression but her red face and shaken voice betray her. lory cursed herself and wonder why these words sound familiar. she forgot she had said the same word to Zhao Li Xin once.

From her chest, Girsha burst out and flew away. Lory watched the white bird leave her behind without saying a word the bird just save himself from an awkward situation, Lory takes a deep breath to calm herself then she looks Zhao Li Xin with a defeated face "Can you wear something more decent" she can't stop herself to peek below his bellybutton. This is not good, she is not a shameless woman..... is she?

Zhao Li Xin cross her arms on his chest seemingly not care, he has something more urgent to talk about "Lory we need to talk what had happened that morning"

"Can you wear some clothes first?" Lory pleads wholeheartedly the robes cover the front but not the back.

"The clothes are inside the pagoda, it took some time to get there. Let's talk first" he calmly said while clasped his hand behind his back, he looks as graceful and poise as he used to if only he is not naked and covers his waist with simple robes.

'Your butt is showing!!'

"No, wear some clothes first!" Lory shakes her head profusely "If you not wearing clothes I will not speak!" she demanded strongly as her sanity depends on it.

Zhao Li Xin sighs tiredly, Lory pouted her mouth why he behaved as if it was her who behaved unreasonably, you are the one who's naked!

"Fine, we are inside the ring so I can't summon my clothes as I used to outside the spatial ring, we must walk to the pagoda and find the clothes," he said reasonably.

Lory mouth twitch, it means she has to stare his naked body longer "Yeah, whatever!" Lory didn't care as long he wears something at least a pair of pants. although she is her husband and she had seen him naked countless time but watching him naked in the open field like this make her heart palpitate like crazy.

Just like God's saving grace Huo Long came toward them with his human form his red hair flown behind his back and his luxurious fiery red robes make him like a god of fire, he welcomes them with bright smiles "Hello princess, why are you here, and why are you naked, boy?" Huo Long didn't look awkward staring at Zhao Li Xin's naked body.

"I lost control of my power…" he answers casually.

"Oh that's rare, you haven't lost your control for a while…what happened?" Huo long feel concerned.

Zhao Li Xin shifts his glance to Lory. Lory fiddle her finger in guilt "It's my bad…."

"Aaah…" Huo Long nods in understanding 'the Princess must provoke him' he thought

"Okay, it's my fault but can you give him some clothes first…" Lory whine impatiently.

Huo Long stare at Zhao Li Xin's naked body then shift his stare to lory "What you don't like what you see?" he raised his eyebrows, He might not have much interaction with the human but he sure Zhao Li Xin appearance is over the top.

Lory was speechless why there's so much chit-chat "No it's not like that…." 

"I thought you both married?" Huo Long asked confusedly.

"Surprisingly my wife is very shy.." Zhao Li Xin jokingly said he enjoys watching her flustered. Taken it as a small revenged because of her constant teasing since the first time they met. he better collects her debt bit by bit.

Lory becomes more flustered as she raised her voice "It's normal to watch your husband naked in the bedroom but it's weird to find him naked openly like this, why don't you feel embarrassed are you nudist!" she points at Zhao Li Xin angrily.

"Nudist?" Huo Long and Zhao Li Xin said in tunes, their curiosity suddenly pique.

"I refused to explain…" she feel too tired to explain about the naked community to this bunch of conservative men, she already imagines the next follow up question coming for her.

Zhao Li Xin stops teasing her when lory looks existed "I need clothes…" he said to Huo Long.

Huo Long clicks his tongue then he took off his outer robes and throws it to Zhao Li Xin. Lory finally feel relaxed, knows she can look at him normally. 

"Let's go to the pagoda" Zhao Li Xin pulls Lory's hand gently then the two of them walk hand in hand to where the pagoda is.

Huo Long didn't want to bother them so he only watches them with a sigh, suddenly Girsha appears before him. Huo Long notice Girsha arrival he cupped his fist courteously "Greeting venerable ancestor"

"You make me feel old.."Girsha chides him.

Huo Long pinch his chin for a second then he resumes "Greeting young ancestor"

'The word ancestor is the problem!' 

Girsha narrowed his eyes, but Huo Long didn't notice Girsha's dissatisfaction, he thought he treated Girsha with utter respect. Girsha didn't make a fuss for the innocent Dragon only one thing bother him.

"That boy temperament is not stable…" Girsha abruptly said.

Huo Long rub his jawline "He used to be didn't have temperament at all, so I take this as a progress" he smiles in delight.

"What kinda man he was….I only know him after he met Lory and he was like this…" Girsha wants to say silly but he holds his tongue.

Huo Long mouth sighs heavily, his eye stares to the distance as he speaks "He is like a diamond, beautiful, sharp and cold. He has no attachment, distant, apathetic, but maybe because of that he can achieve more than any other people could because he doesn't hesitate, he has no one to concern" 

"He was poison before and you didn't help him, with your knowledge there should be a solution…..so why?" Girsha stares at him with a probing look.

Huo Long clasped his hand behind his back "Because he is dangerous. He can be a protector or a destroyer of the world and everything depend on his decision…"

"So the poison is his death switch?" Girsha stifles.

"You can say that" Huo Long shrug "The poison is my gamble, I hope something will change before he running out of time but if not then…" he shakes his head as he perplexed by the possible outcome.

"Then Lory come…"

Huo Long smiles widely "Princess Lorient come" he didn't hide his excitement "How small the odd is for a princess from another world to come, The heir of the first king of her world nonetheless" Huo Long open his arm with joy.

"But she brings Lazarus with her, is it the loss exceed the gain?" Girsha quipped.

"That's where you are wrong ancestor?" Huo Long squint his eyes slyly, he was his hand exaggeratedly "The stage has built, and the performer had been prepared for a long time and the script has been written, oh wait…..it was rewritten" he chuckles.

Girsha's eye narrows dangerously as he sucks the cold air through his lungs "Who designs all this, Arthea?" he hissed.

"No, my dear ancestor...it was the Queen" Huo Long smiles mischievously "Queen Lorenna"
