The Princess And The Lord

1363  Mystique Realm II n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Since explaining the mystique realm would take a long time, Lory thought it would be faster to show it directly. Therefore, Fredhardt, Adrianne, and Fargo went to Lucas' room with Lory and Zhao Li Xin. As soon as they arrived, Adrianne was overcome with sadness, seeing the bright-looking young man fall into a coma.

"How is His Majesty?" Adrianne asked Fredhardt in a whisper.

Fredhardt replied "The King's condition is much better than before but the alien creature inside his body is not completely dead and can wake up at any time, if that happens Lucas' condition will worsen in a short time"

"Isn't there anything else we can do?" Adrianne's face was etched with anxiety, she unconsciously gripped her hands tightly.

"That's what we're going to do now," Fredhard patted his mother gently to comfort her, then he turned his heavy gaze to Zhao Li Xin. Right now, Zhao Li Xin is our only hope to save the King. He said she had a way. I believe her because Lory believes her." Fargo suddenly chimed in out of nowhere, "Don't worry, buddy, I've seen what he can do, now I'm more curious about how he moved Luc into that ring." His eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"You've seen it?" Fredhardt was surprised, but Fargo's reassuring words greatly reduced his worries.

"Yeah, but I've only seen him use it on small objects I want to see how he moves humans into it, what do you think it's like inside this Mystique realm?" a thrill of excitement ran through him like a kid before riding a roller coaster.

"I don't know, you can just ask him to take you there...perhaps you can stay there," Fredhardt scoffed at Fargo's ridiculous antique.

Meanwhile, Zhao Li Xin was checking Lucas' condition first, as he was worried, Lucas' internal energy began to decrease, indicating that the creature had started to wake up again.

"How is he?" His sparkling purple eyes were filled with worry as he stared at Zhao Li Xin.

Zhao Li Xin took a deep breath and said in a careful tone [The creature in your little brother's body is starting to wake up and is absorbing your little brother's life energy again...]

Lory's words were like a large stone that sank her heart into her stomach "Then what should we do?"

Zhao Li Xin stared at Lory closely [We have to move quickly, I will use my fire to burn the creature again after that you immediately heal it as soon as possible after that I will immediately move it to the mystique realm] explained Zhao Li Xin.

[I don't want to do this cause it feels like torturing your brother but I don't have any other way...] Zhao Li Xin pressed his lips into a thin line as he stared at Lucas's face.

Lory knows what they do is like torturing someone then healing them then torturing them again, it is like repetitive torture but this is the only way to save Lucas, [Let's do it, my brother can take it, I believe in him!]

Zhao Li Xin knew it must be hard watching her brother in pain. Zhao Li Xin clasped her hands [I'll do it as fast as I can, it should be enough to knock off that creature again, it shouldn't be as painful as the first time] Zhao Li Xin's eyes offered comfort that eased the burden on her heart [I believe in you too, let's do this!] She stopped dilly-dally as she had to prepare herself. Lory kissed Lucas' forehead briefly and whispered in his ear, "Stay strong, brother," she got up from the bed then warned Fredhardt and the others, "Raise the barrier is going to be HOT!" Without further ado, Fredhardt and Fargo chanted a barrier around them simultaneously. Lory also cast a barrier around Zhao Li Xin and Lucas as a precaution. Luckily, since his cultivation had improved to another level he was able to have more control over his flame. Even so, it still managed to scare Adrianne. "Wha - what is that!" Adrianne screamed in fear seeing the blazing fire shooting up to the ceiling. "What? I thought you said you liked a 'hottie?" Fred sneered while Adrianne clung tightly to Fredhardt's arms. "Not literally!" Adrianne screamed then looked at Lucas worriedly. "Will Luc be okay?" "He'll be fine. We all know how tough he is and with Lory around, nothing will happen to Luc, we know that for sure." Fargo folded his arms across his chest without the slightest hint of worry.

"That's true.." Fred smile calmly.

This time he used a more subtle way by focusing on inserting fire into Lucas' blood vessels so that the fire would flow freely to his heart while burning the roots that grew in his way, unfortunately Lucas inevitably also got burned from the inside which was a very torturous process therefore Zhao Li Xin did not dare to do it for too long.

Once he managed to insert the creature into Lucas' body, he intensified the fire to burn it after which he immediately released it and his position was quickly taken over by Lory.

He immediately gave Luc a healing gift. After his condition stabilized and he no longer felt pain, Zhao Li Xin moved him and Lory into the spatial ring.

Once they left, the room became quiet and there were only a few burn marks on the ceiling. Zhao Li Xin pretended to react in shock and said: Lory and I will make sure the King is well taken care of, don't worry" After which Zhao Li Xin's body slowly turned transparent and disappeared completely.

After a while, Adrianne finally snapped out of her shock "W-where are they, where did they go?" She stared at the empty room and screamed in fear.

"You heard them, they went to the mystical realm," Fredhardt said calmly.

Fargo clicked his tongue in sadness "I forgot to ask him to bring me too!"

Fredhardt rolled his eyes pretending not to care about Fargo's stupidity and his mother's shock and took out his phone "Yes, I need a complete renovation for the King's room, uh-huh, it's a complete overhaul, this time I want to change the wall painting...." the reliable chamberlain already process the whole renovation for the King's room before the King return.

In the mystical realm, time had stopped, flower petals and leaves hung in the air like a picture in a photograph. Everything felt strange but Lory didn't have time to think about it because her attention was immediately diverted to Lucas' whereabouts. While looking for where Lucas was, she was surprised by a fire shaped like a child. Lory couldn't recognize his face because of the fire that covered his entire body, Lory felt a little worried seeing the little child engulfed in blazing flames Lory reflexively raising her hand to summon water to extinguish the fire. The fire spirit immediately waved her hand in panic "Wait-wait madam, it's me, the Crimson Lightning Sword!" "Eh?" Lory was stunned. "Yes, I apologize for surprising you" he cutely bowed ninety degrees. Lory froze for a moment. In her memory, the Crimson Lightning Sword was an impressive sword, covered in a terrifying red aura, suddenly her chest hurt. "Madam, you must have seen your brother, follow me" The small fire spirit ran towards the familiar-looking mansion.

Lory looked up and then realized that this place was very similar to Ninjing Manor. Soon, memories of the past hit her. Suddenly, the faces of the Hei Shen members flashed before her eyes one by one, for a few seconds her feet were stuck to the ground. After a while, she shook her head. No matter how similar this place with Nin Jing Manor it was not the same for starters there was no whimsical red dragon that used to greet her with a big bright smile.

A wilt little smile appeared on her face, she knew she couldn't have it all, to have something she had to let go of something else because everything had its cost. She shouldn't forget that. Lory took a deep breath and then collected herself after that she walked towards where the Fire Spirit had gone.

Lory enters what seems to be the main room. The room was quite spacious and the whole room was covered in wooden panels and dark wooden floors, behind the screen partition there was a big canopy bed covered with dark red curtains. Lory pushed aside the curtain and looked at her brother who was sleeping soundly, she sat down beside the bed and then gently held his warm hand.

"He will be safe here" a deep voice came from behind her. Lory didn't need to see to know who it was, a smile slowly spread across her tired face "I know..." Zhao Li Xin placed his hand on Lory's shoulder "This place has become my territory so nothing can happen without my knowledge" he assured Lory.

"Still...we have to eliminate the source of this creature so Lucas can wake up," Lory said weakly.

"Yes, no matter what happens I will help your brother, I promise you" Zhao Li Xin's voice carried an unwavering determination. There was no doubt that if it was for Lory, he wouldn't care if he had to go through a sea of ​​fire and storm.

And no one knew better than Lory how serious Zhao Li Xin was with his words. She raised her head and stared deeply into Zhao Li Xin's eyes, "Then... What about you? I'm not a cultivator, but I know enough that cultivation should not be rushed or it will damage one's body. Li Xin, you know that even though Lucas is important to me, you are also very important and I don't want anything to happen to you... that wouldn't make me happy, you know that, right?"

Zhao Li Xin was touched by Lory's words a second later her whole expression softened. Since coming to Harland all her attention was focused on Lucas' safety but Lory never once neglected Zhao Li Xin's safety and more than once she stated that Lucas' safety would not come at the expense of Zhao Li Xin.

Zhao Li Xin caressed Lory's soft cheek affectionately, "Worry not, I know what I'm doing besides, I still plan to grow old with you,"

"That's better be, I'm also curious about how you'll look with gray hair, I think you still be as charming as you were young, and I've got a feeling that I'm gonna fight with those old grannies who still want to seduce you," Lory pouted her lips, though right now it sounds like a joke but such a situation is very possible.

Imagining old Lory fighting with the other grannies made him laugh out loud, it would be so funny to see her still so lively and energetic at that age and he couldn't wait to see it, "You will remain as beautiful as you are now even when you are hundreds of years old"

"Obviously!" Lory confidently said.

Zhao Li Xin stroked Lory's hair and chuckled. He hoped that one day there would come a time when Lory and him would spend time together peacefully...but now was not the time.

"Lory, there's something I need to talk to you about Girsha..."
