The Princess And The Lord

1359  The Ruler of The Ring

The fire blazed ever more fiercely it hit the cave ceiling and spread wildly like waves of fire at the same time molten lava gushed from the ground and melted the rocks inside the cave.

Lory and Fargo jumped out of the cave, and the entire cave was engulfed in blazing flames. Soon after, they landed on a cliff, while Zhao Li Xin floated into the air, engulfed in flames like a human torch.

"Again, is it normal for your husband to be like this?" Fargo watched the enraging flames in total dismay.

Lory put her arms on her hips and then watched Zhao Li Xin from a far with troubled look, "I'm not sure... when it comes to him nothing is normal"

"So, what should we do?" Fargo is worried about Zhao Li Xin for Lory.

Lory squints her eyes, "We'll wait..."

Meanwhile, Zhao Li Xin tried to control the fire that trying to devouring him. He felt his whole body was burning from inside out to the point he felt his blood boil and his bones turn to ashes it was unbearable, to say the least.

Despite that, he remained steadfast, afterward he gradually felt a flow of a stream of powerful qi filling every joint and every blood vessel in his body, which indicated that his body was undergoing a transformation.

Without even checking, he knew his cultivation had jumped several levels and would continue to do so if he persisted. Even though it was good news for him, at the moment he was going through an incredible amount of extreme pain even by his standards.

Still, he didn't want to stop, he knew Lucas didn't have much time and if he didn't hurry then Lucas' life would be in danger and if that happened he didn't know what Lory would do or rather he didn't want to find out.

Zhao Li Xin clenched his jaw as the excruciating pain hit every inch of his body, but he remained steadfast because for him failure was not an option. No matter what he will not let lory loose her brother again, not on his watch!

Amid his suffering, Zhao Li Xin heard the childish voice of the fire spirit in his mind.

[Master, you have reached the Emperor level in the Core stage. If you jump to many levels, you cannot continue, it will greatly affect your body. You need to rest, Master. Otherwise, you will ruin your cultivation, or worse you could die…]

[I don't have time…] Zhao Li Xin gritted his teeth tightly.

The fire spirit knew how stubborn his master was, especially his deep love for his wife. Despite being blessed with luck, talent, and opportunities, Zhao Li Xin strangely had no desire for anything other than his freedom, and so he pursued wealth, fame, and authority to achieve that one thing, which was freedom.

Zhao Li Xin hated to be tight down and had natural avoidance toward anything that could hold him down that's why he never let himself attach to anything.

But everything changed after he met Lory, since then he used Lory as a focal point of whatever he did. Whether when he makes an assessment or takes action, he bases everything on the good of Lory so it is not strange that he would sacrifice himself to make Lory Happy. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The fire spirit fell into a predicament as he did not know how to persuade Zhao Li Xin, the fire spirit could only cursed himself inwardly for having a troublesome master more than King Lei Yu, Huo Long, and even Zian.

[Master, I have a way to delay what happened to King Lucas...] [...] Zhao Li Xin hesitated but he continued his cultivation. Blue veins appeared all over Zhao Li Xin's forehead and neck showing his veins were swollen from overuse, it was just a matter of time before it popped. the fire spirit became anxious [I'm serious Master! Do you remember the Mystique Realm? After Huo Long left the ring was broken and after you fixed it the place naturally became your dominion and you can do anything in that place including controlling the time at that place!]

Zhao Li Xin instantly back to his senses. Alas, because he was too worried about disappointing Lory he had completely forgotten about the nature of the spatial ring.

After he fixed the spatial ring the Mystique realm became his dominion and bent to his will and desire therefore the scene inside the Mystique realm mimicked the condition in Ninjing Manor, the first residence where Lory came to stay with him.

Huo Long Designs the Mystique Realm in such a way as he wants but also makes it an ideal place for farmers, therefore time in the mystic Realm is faster than the outside. Still and all, everything in the Mystique realm are not absolute which means everything can change according to the desire the ruler of the place.

[Master..] The fire spirit whined.

[Tsk, I know…] Zhao Li Xin pressed his palms together and soon the fire slowly subsided and his body slowly landed on the ground at the same time the fire that previously covered him was slowly absorbed into his body before disappearing.

"Li Xin!" Lory flew towards him and then landed before him.

His body was covered in steam coming out of his skin just like someone out of the sauna. Lory didn't need to touch him to feel the heat coming from his skin.

"Do you need some cold water?" Lory's voice was etched with anxiety.

"That would be great" Zhao Li Xin smiled calmly.

Lory waved her hand and a second later cold water poured onto Zhao Li Xin and drenched him, it felt like soaking in cold water after a long sauna. Zhao Li Xin felt the intensity throughout his body decrease significantly.

Zhao Li Xin brushed his wet hair away from his face that was soaked by the water but even though he was soaked to his toe it only make him look more tantalizing in Lory's eyes. While Lory was gawking at her husband's naked body, Fargo came over and threw clothes towards Zhao Li Xin, "Here, put on your clothes first!"

Zhao Li Xin appreciated Fargo's attention with a faint smile while Lory pursed her lips, she glared at Fargo in dissatisfaction as if to say 'I was enjoying that!'

Fargo ignore Lory's glare, since he already uncomfortable seeing Lory staring at the body of the man right in front of him, has she had no decency? The truth is Fargo didn't likes to be reminded that his innocent little sister has grew up into a woman who had sexual desires.

"Um, your husband could got cold" Fargo making lame excused withot care.

Lory's brows shoot up obviously not believe him, however, she will not waste her time with that stupid muscle head. "Wait, you should clean yourself first or your clothes will get wet!" her expression turned into a docile wife again but for a second before she turned to Fargo and screamed "Fargy, where's my bag?"

"Here, you always forget your stuff" Fargo threw the backpack at her.

"Yeah - yeah" Lory catch the backpack then she proceeds by taking out a clean towel first. After she handed it to Zhao Li Xin she took out underwear, pants and did not forget a pair of shoes after that she used an ice wall to cover Zhao Li Xin when he got change.

'Prepare as always' Zho Li Xin watches her in amusement.

Presented by the silhouette of Zhao Li Xin taking off his tattered pants, Lory suddenly had the urge to help her husband but Fargo suddenly pulled the back of her collar.

"Can you let the man change his clothes in peace?!" Her mouth twitched at his blunt intention.

Lory slapped his hand away and pouted, "What? It's customary in his world for a wife to help her husband get dressed and that's what I'm going to do!" She made a proper excuse and was about to get behind the ice wall, yet Fargo pulled her collar again.

"Hold on missy! Do you think I don't know what your intentions are? First, fix your face, you look like a pervert!" She covered her cheeks hurriedly, "How dare you? This is the face of a dignified noble Princess!" she shamelessly lied through her teeth.

"Noble my a*s!" Fargo snorted in disdain, "You can do whatever you want in private with your husband, but for now you stay here! don't make me feel uncomfortable more than already is!" Fargo half pleaded.

Fargo got goosebumps not wanting to imagine her activities as a healthy young woman with her beloved. For him Lory is still an eight -year -old child who used to whine while pulling his pants untill it tore so he would agree to take her to the mall to watch the poko -poko dance.

Lory clicked her tongue in annoyance "Now you know how I feel all this time seeing you with all those girls!"

Fargo rolled his eyes "Whatever, I got you a limited edition Poko-Poko cookies for this month, just stay here okay!"

Persuaded by her two favorite items that is Poko-Poko and sweets, Lory reluctantly agreed "Fine, I want a limited edition Poko-Poko figurine too!"

"Fine!" Fargo sighed heavily.

Zhao Li Xin could hear their bickering clearly from behind the ice wall, he shook his head and chuckled at how childish Lory was in front of her brother. Not long after she finished getting dressed.

"Done?" Lory peeked out from behind the ice wall.

"Yes," Zhao Li Xin replied as he fixed his clothes.

Lory's eyes lit up, only her husband could make a simple black turtleneck and hiking pants looked like something bought from high end fashion store.

"Alright, let's go!" Fargo waved his hand while his other phone accepted a phone call.

"Did someone call to pick us up?" Lory guessed.

"Yes, Fred called and he told me there's a big news circulating on social media that you might be interested" Fargo handed his phone to Lory.

Lory frowned, not knowing when Fargo cared about rumors and gossip on social media. "What's wrong?" Lory took her phone. She read the news with confused face, and a second later her eyes widened in shock. Zhao Lixin became curious after seeing her face change drastically. "What's wrong?" Lory gasped in disbelief. "They said... they said Lilly is dating Sean Lockwood?! How is that possible... Does Sean Lockwood have evil intentions to make Lilly date him?" Lory had a low opinion of Sean Lockwood and would not believe Sean Lockwood was sincere with Lilly.
