Chapter 637 - Please Don’t Disturb
Just imagined his pale skin turn pink whenever he touches it, his gleaming purple eyes stared at him in a daze and her sweet voice cried his name, he feel his desire burst like a volcano. Zhao Li Xin massages his temple, this is not the right time he got something more important things to do.
Zhao Li Xin got out of his room to get some fresh air he hopes the cold air would extinguish his longing for his dearest princess, he walks across the courtyard garden, the cold breeze slightly calmed his tense muscles, the smell of peach blossom tingle his nose but this is not the scent he's been yearning for, he looks heavenward and smiles faintly as his mind wanders what would she d right now then suddenly he heard the sounds of Guqin.
The melodious sound floating in the air like falling morning dew on the leaf drop on the quiet lake, Zhao Li Xin furrows his eyebrows, this is the first time he heard the sound of Gu Qin near his courtyard, Mong Liu was not with him at this moment so Zhao Li Xin has no choice but to check on his own.
The sound is increasing with every step he takes, the Gu Qin melody is soft and gentle with a slight hint of strength in every string, whoever plays this music must be a talented musician. Zhao Li Xun leaves his courtyard then follow the small path past the moon gate then it leads him to another small garden.
Zhao Li Xin footstep stopped abruptly, in front of him a beautiful woman with soft peach color hanfu play under the pink magnolia tree, the soft breeze blown gently the pink flower petals and it blown away in motion as if it dances following the music tunes, the beautiful lady seem not to notice Zhao Li Xin presence.
The lady seat under the big parasol, her long black ink hair blow by a gentle breeze, scattered her hair on her shoulder. Her skin smooth and flawless like jade, her feature is delicate with the slight stubbornness hidden in her eyes, her beauty is mixed of youthfulness and wittiness.
Zhao Li Xin sauntered towards her with long strides seemingly impatient then the lady feel scorching gaze towards her, she lifted her head and she instantly mesmerized, a man that so handsome as if he walked out of the painting came towards her.
The lady's face heated and her cheeks flushed like a ripe apple, her heart thumping wildly as he got closer, soon the man finally stops his pace right in front of her.
The lady bit her lower lips shyly, she wants to avert her gaze for afraid the man thinks she is a loose woman, alas she can't take her eyes away from him.
The man stares at her with beautiful cold dark eyes then he frowned in disdain "Can you keep it down, you disturbed my rest"
"…."
'CRASH!'
The lady could hear her heart shattered like broken glass.

[Oldie, suddenly I have an idea] Lory gesticulated with her hand.
[Suddenly I hate it already!] he answers sarcastically.
Lory pursed her lips [You always hate my idea!]
[Cause your idea is never good!] Girsha chides her.
[Some of my ideas are good!] Lory adamant to justify herself.
Girsha raises his beak [Oh yeah, which one? Facing behemoth at the age of eleven – jump to ogre nest alone at twelve – stealing Gryphon egg at thirteen – you know I can do this all night long!]
[You don't have to be so…specific!] Lory rolls her eyes.
[I just state the fact, you'rehighness] he teased her again.
Lory rubs her hands together, secretly she admits all her plan was always risky, that's why everyone always reminds her not to go 'crazy' but what so fun with that, isn't people said life is more meaningful when you live on the edge.
[Just hear me first, will ya!] she plead the cranky bird, seriously wether is human or beast your temper would get worst when you get older.
Girsha gives Lory a sarcastic expression but lory feign ignorance [I heard Lao Min Na still not return to her courtyard at the sanguan Manor so I have an idea….]
[OBJECTION, YOUR HIGHNESS!] Girsha cut her off mercilessly.
[Come on, you didn't hear all my idea yet!] Lory feel wronged, she raised her hand to make girsha listen to her [If Lao Min Na was not at Sanguan Manor there is a high chance that Lazarus was not there either, sooo….we take this chance to sneak around to demon lair and see what's their cooking, what do you think?] Lory wiggles her eyebrows in jest.
Girsha squint his eyes [You know whenever you make a plan there always a big 'IF' what if Lao Min Na suddenly return, what if Lazarus is stayed around the Sanguan Manor, what if the Sanguan family catch you, what if because of this you ruined your hubby great planed?]
[Why are you so pessimistic?] Lory puffed her cheeks.
[Because somebody has to!] Girsha spread his wing angrily.
It is a normal situation whenever Lory make a plan Girsha would there to knock some sense on her, is it work….sometimes, but mostly not and today is what mostly happened at the end of their bickering.
Lory rest her hands on her hips, Lory is a proactive person when she faces a problem she must solve it one way or another, or she would get crazy about it, and the matters between Lao Min Na and Lazarus always disturbed her although she never shows it in a surface, but it always in a back of her mind and she can't wait anymore.
[Come on old birdie, you can feel it if Lazarus was there and we check the situation first before we do anything] Lory pleading pitifully like a kitten [Don't you curious what Lazarus planed – don't you feel worried – don't lie – I know you do] Lory grinned mischievously.
[Come on, we are not someone who used to run from trouble, we are running into trouble]
Girsha sigh [That's what I'm worried about….]
[Come on, it's gonna be okay….] Lory nudged the bird's wing lightly with her index finger.
He looks Lory with a doubting look then exclaimed [That what you said when we face behemoth]
Lory smile dryly [Am I not okay after that?] she open her arms widely seemingly proud.
[Because your father and his Archknight came to fetch you before you die from mana exhaustion!] Girsha spat in anger.
Lory waves her hand carelessly [Potata – potato, I'm still alive doesn't it!]
[Barely…] Girsha scoffed her light comment.
Girsha used to be a majestic and mysterious creature, he lives in solitude and love quietness but after he met Lory he becomes a nagging old man who worried all the time, ut such degradation for a creature that used to call 'The Lord of the sky' but times changes everyone even Girsha.
[Come on birdie, whether you came or not I would still visit the Sanguan manor] Lory playfully grinned.
[Your man would be pissed….cause I do!]
[Oh yeah…] Lory remember the last time she sneaked around Mong Liu and the other almost sentence to death by Zhao Li Xin after she was lost, thankfully she left the letter to lighten Mong Liu punishment but still….she can't let that happened again, especially to Mong Yi, she quite fond that chatty guy and he also know her real identity so why not bring him too.
[I bring Mong Yi then!] Lory clapped her hand.
Girsha stifles loudly [Ha, I want to see how you persuade that man!]
[You'll see, I'm very persuasive…] Lory puffed her chest confidently.
