The Princess And The Lord

Chapter 521 - Why He Become The Fallen God?

"Are you okay, you want me to carry you to the bathtub?" Zhao Li Xin smoldered with guilt again although it was useless since he repeatedly make the same mistakes over and over again, but what can he do, he just a man…a normal man who had need.

'Normal' would be the last thing she used to describe her husband's sexual appetite, she might not have much experience but she knows her husband's vigor is not normal.

​​

"Lory doesn't need a mirror to know she look like a mess because she feel like one, she stares at Zhao Li Xin with blaming looks "It's your fault!" she pouted her lips.

"I'm sorry" the great Lord readily admits.

"You always say that, can you do moderately like normal people?" Lory shows her complaint.

 Zhao Li Xin helplessly said: "I can't…."

 Lory puffed her cheeks with discontent looks "WHY?" 

"You have a lascivious body…" he looks defeated.

"..."

Lory pretends to be angry, but the corner of her mouth lifts slightly she obviously feel happy, but for the sake of her image as a good girl she pretends not believed him "Whatever, carry me to the bathtub then…" Lory stretched her hands demanding for 'the princess carry'

Zhao Li Xin chuckles, his Princess is so adorable "Sure.." he lifts her as if she weightless

The bathroom is in the same room only cover with a half-moon partition and curtains, the bathtub not as big as the bathtub at Zhao Li Xin manor but it's still quite big for Lory to stretch her legs. Once she enters the water she let out a long exhale, Zhao Li Xin didn't leave her because she is seriously worried Lory would fall asleep in the bathtub.

Lory likes to be alone she doesn't like anyone assists her personal life that's why she always refused every time Zhao Li Xin offers her personal maids. Even at Harland Lory never have a 'lady in waiting' to assist her, she doesn't have personal maids other than normal maids who clean her room and prepare her foods. 

Harland's royal family upbringing is unique, they are taught to be independent and self-reliant, even though they live in luxury but the king never indulged them with material things, in fact, the king encourages his child to survive on their own as much as they can and the Archknight is forbidden to give help more than necessary.

Unlike other royalty, Lory and Lucas rarely stay too long at the cestine Palace, since fourteen they spent more times outside the Cestine palace, so for Lory having 'Lady in waiting' sound like a useless idea, and Lory also feel uncomfortable having a stranger to help her private matters. 

"You feel better?" Zhao Li Xin make soaked his hand in the water to make sure the temperature is not too hot or too cold.

"I'm good, you can leave me" Lory thanks him but shooed him gently at the same time, she loves him very much but sometimes a girl needs her 'alone' time.

Zhao Li Xin still worry but he knew she likes to be alone when she taking a bath so he does not insist to stay "Okay, just shout if you need anything"

Lory laughs at how worried Zhao Li Xin is "I'm fine milord, now shoo!" she splashes the water on him.

Zhao Li Xin dodged the water easily then he chuckles and left her alone.

Lory leans her back on the bathtub the oil scented that mixed the water calmed her down, the heat also right. She closes her eyes then the water surface ripples gradually her body cover engulf with purple light then she exhaled deeply.

The healing Gift and water gift is the best combination because water nature is also to bring life when Lory find a way to infused water with healing gift what she gets is 'Miracle Water' but the miracle water she created not only able to cure minor ailments and wound it also able to weaken cursed but the downside is Lory need a month of mana, which she only able to do recently.

Lory sink her head in the water, everything becomes quiet and serene, she could feel the fatigue dissipated and one by one the red hickey on her body disappeared, and whatever scars or callous that left on her hands vanish without a trace.

a few minutes later she pulls herself from the water, her pale skin becomes flawless like snow without any blemish then she opens her eyes slowly. See there no hickey left in her body anymore as if it never there since the beginning, suddenly she feel a bit sad.

[You almost regain all your power] Girsha suddenly came and perched on the side of the bathtub.

[Hm…] Lory hummed.

[You don't feel happy…] Girsha cocked his head.

[More like conflicted...] she calmly said Lory blinks her eyes as she stares blankly at the ceiling [This will provoke Lazarus even more]

[True..] Girsha lowered his head [He might come sooner than we expected]

Lory stifles [My expectation he would not come at all]

[You scared you are not strong enough or you worry about everyone safety….especially that boy safety] 

[All of those reasons...] Lory wryly smile, she shifts her gaze at the bird in front of her [You think I could defeat Lazarus?]

Girsha didn't answer right away as he pondering what should he say [Everything that lives should die, it is a law of nature…]

Lory smirks [You did not answer my question] she flicks the water to Girsha's face but the water dispersed when hits his windshield. Just like Lory he also regains almost his power.

[Do you think I can win against the fallen God?] Lory asked again, she smiles but her eyes filled with anxiety.

[Honestly…I don't know girl, but nothing is impossible] Girsha says confidently.

Lory pull her legs then wrapped her arms on her knees [Fallen God…why Lazarus become Fallen God anyway]

Girsha frown then he shrugs [I don't know, for power, greed?]

[If he A God what power and what wish he could fulfill? That does not make sense] Lory rests her chin on her knees [I never thought about this before…] Lory mutters.

Yang Xi Ying and Li Mo Zhen already wait for them in the dining room, is another spacious room in the same floor as them, the truth is Zhao Li Xin rent the whole floor, other than Li Mo Zhen and Yang Xi Ying there is no other guest on the second floor. The Inn manager easily complies when Mong Ki shows the gleaming Gold on the small wooden chest, the Inn manager is so happy he treats Zhao Li Xin like royalty.

When Lory enters the dining room just like she thought the elegant lady Yang Xi Ying looking at her with teasing smiles, Lory mouth twitch, she feel embarrassed but wants to show off too. She doesn't know what to do so she feigns ignorance. On the other hand, Li Mo Zhen who is more conservative pretends he doesn't know anything.

"Please have a seat, Lord Long Ming, Miss Luo" Li Mo Zhen bows his head politely.

Zhao Li Xin's face remains calm he doesn't feel anything wrong when people know he wakes up late because he over-indulgent his wife, what so shameful about it. Meanwhile, Lory glare at Yang Xing Ying to stop her teasing is okay if it's only the two of them but now Li Mo Zhen and the Mong brother are here too!

And so they have brunch because Lory skip her breakfast and the lunchtime is still long. Yang Xi Ying and Li Mo Zhen don't mind because Lory absents the two of them didn't eat much because they waiting to have a brunch with Lory.

Because Lory is the only one who is not cultivator so the other considered more for her, cultivator didn't have a problem skip their meal but Lory is a normal person so is not good if she skips her meal and so everyone is waiting for her.

"Here, try this soup this is good to increase your stamina" Yang Xi Ying put a bowl of soup in front of her.

Lory squint her eyes at Yang Xi Ying 'Should you be so obvious?'

Yang Xi Ying ignores lory's complaint, even though she teased Lory but deep in her heart she truly worries about Lory's health. Zhao Li Xin is a powerful cultivator while Lory is a normal woman…well if you keep aside her weird power. Yang Xi Ying has secretly observed Lory's body since yesterday, but she didn't see any abnormality, Lory got tired easily compare to her, so Yang Xi Ying thought despited having unknown power within her Lory body is normal like common people and so how could she handle Long Ming big appetited.

How yang Xi Ying know Zhao Li Xin has a big appetite? Easy…because he looking at Lory the same way Li Mo Zhen looking at her, these two men acted nonchalant on the outside but a beast on the inside, they cannot be trusted!

"Xi Ying you eat too" Lory feel uncomfortable with the pile of food on her plate.

"Okay…" Yang Xi Ying sigh, she still wants to add more food to Lory's plate. 

Li Mo Zhen stares at Lory with jealous looks, his wife never this attentive to him "Wife, don't bother to miss Luo let her eat peacefully, here eat your shrimp" Li Mo Zhen put the peeled shrimp on Yang Xi Ying plate.

"Thank you, try this you like steam fish isn't it" she elegantly put the meat fish on the Li Mo Zhen plate. And just like that Li Mo Zhen's mood lifted again, the two sharing loving gaze and enjoy their meal.

Mong Yi see the interaction between Li Mo Zhen and yang Xi Ying then sigh 'Another henpeck husband, huh'

Meanwhile, Zhao Li Xin put an oyster on Lory's plate "It's good for your health…" he smiles mischievously.

Lory sees the oyster who somehow looks indecent, her cheeks blushed then she glares at Zhao Li Xin 'You too…'

Zhao Li Xin acts oblivious, he lifts the rice bowl and eats gracefully, Lory with her mouth she can't blame Zhao Li Xin when he acted innocent like that, but unbeknown to Lory the corner of his mouth slightly lifted.

Only Mong Ki who saw his Lord shenanigan then he smiles warmly, his heart rejoices to know Zhao Li Xin gradually become more human.
