The Princess And The Lord

Chapter 483 - Bogus Story



Nan Bao Ji feel loss when he heard 'Long Ming' name. His legs become limp he almost faint on the spot, could his ears fool him.

"Long...Long Ming? Do you mean Long Ming the leader of Hei Shen Sect?" his face stiffed.

​​

Lan Hua tilts her head with a blank look, she quiets for a few seconds then she smiles brightly "Of course!" 

who never heard the infamous Long Ming. He is the man who never acts based on normal commonsense he had no limit and follows anyone rule, he is a wayward man who lives by his owned rule.

Everyone knew Long Ming is has unpredictable temperament but even so, Nan Bao Ji would never expect that Hei Shen would be crazy enough to create ruckus in their territory, he also perplex how could Long Ming breach their protective array, is he dreaming?

Mei Gui chuckles "Is there anyone dare to carry the name Long Ming other than our Hei Shen Lord Long Ming" she ridicules Nan Bao Ji ridiculous question, she wonders if Lan Hua hit him too hard and ruined the old man brain if not how could he be stupid?

While Nan Bao Ji is at loss from the fright somehow Nan Yu Qi becomes exciting because she thought she will meet the legendary man Long Ming. The rumors said that long ming real identity is the ex-sixth prince and everyone said he is the most handsome man in the country not to mention he also very strong and wealthy, as a woman this is a temptation is too hard to resist.

"Lord Long Ming is here!" Nan Yu Qi exclaimed with an expecting face. it was obvious what kinda a delusion she had on her mind.

Lan Hua and Mei Gui glowered over Nan Yu Qi. They hate a conceited woman like Nan Yu Qi a woman who thought they deserved for anything just because she wishes for it, everyone knew Zhao Li Xin is married and fond with his wife but there always someone like Nan Yu Qi who thinks she is 'oh so precious' she can get any man they want.

"Hoo...look at you, it seems someone needs to be thought a lesson" Lan Hua's face turns grim as she clenches on her sword, she hated home wrecker more than anything.

"I agree with you, sister," Mei Gui's sweet face turn dark, for her a vixen who like seduced married man is deserved to die.

The narcissistic Nan Yu Qi doesn't realize what she had done wrong, why is it so bad for the nobleman to have multiple wives, and what is so bad having a woman like her as a wife rather than Long Ming wife who has no background and power she confidence she thousand times better than Zhao Li Xin wife so why Long ming subordinated is so furious, a muddlehead like Nan Yu Qi only have one simple explanation for Long Ming female bad attitude.

They must be adored Zhao Li Xin and they feel threatened if someone like her become their Lord wife, of course, she is not easy to control, unlike Long Ming commoner wife, feel full of herself nan Yu Qi sneer "All of you just a servant, you can't interfere your Lord personal problem" she forgot about her own situation as excitement meeting wonderful man clouded her minds.

Lan Hua and Mei Gui startled their eyes bulged widely as silent engulf them. Nan Yu qi thought her words scared the two impudent servants but then Lan Hua and Mei Gui burst to laugh, they laugh so hard until she bends their waist and their eyes become wet from too much laughing.

"Hahahaha, you think.....hahahaha~" Lan Hua can't stop her laughs and her body shook tremendously.

Mei Gui's face turn bit red because she laughs too hard then she waves her hands aimlessly "You...hahaha...Our Lord does pay attention to you~"

Nan Yu Qi rejoices when she heard Mei Gui's words but then the next words pu...er from heaven right to the depth of hell.

"You are is in our Lord list for the top five people he should kill at Sacred Mountain Peak, hahaha....CONGRATULATION!" Mei Gui raised her thumb, she obviously ridiculed Nan Yu Qi confident.

Nan Yu Qi stunned, why Long Ming wants her dead they never met before if there any animosity between them it's all Nan Yu Wei fault, it got nothing to do with her, so why?

Lan Hua and Mei Gui didn't bother to explain, their Lord would not bother to explain either, they are the unscrupulous Hei Shen after all.

Nan Bao Ji realizes these two women don't care with reason, both of them determined to harm them.

"Let us go" Nan Bao Ji suddenly said "I will pretend that this never happened," he said with a calm voice because he knew these women is unreasonable but again that just how Hei Shen people are.

"Uncle!" Nan Yu Qi can't believe what Nan Bao Ji said, is that mean he can't win against these two women why does he plead?

"Shut up!" he hushes Nan Yu Qi harshly. the most important thing is to stay alive. Hei Shen is already here, he knew the sacred mountain peak might face their biggest enemy after the legendary Beast in the story.

Lan Hua ignores Nan Bao Ji plead, if only Nan Yu Qi didn't have an inappropriate motive to their Lord they probably just break some of their bones, afterall the Lord ordered them to keep people away from the forbidden library, he didn't order to kill them but Nan Yu Qi make her change her mind. 

Lan Hua then smiles innocently "No can't do," she said in a cheery tone

 Inside the cave, Zhao Li Xin used a torch to illuminated their way. the temperature inside the cave keeps drooping to the point Zhao Li Xin used his Qi to stabilize Lory's body temperature despite Lory is protected with Zhao Li Xin necklace but her body still shiver from the cold.

Inside the cave, everything is cover with snow and ice, the icicles hang on the ceiling everything is frozen they didn't hear a single sound of water dripping. other than their footstep everything is fall in deep silence.

Dark and quiet are two things Lory hated the most, she can't remember why but ever since she came to this world she becomes unable to handle these two things. 

At the ancient tomb she still can hear crickets, bugs, or beast it's didn't make her scared only vigilant and she okay with that, she knew how to be vigilant but this place...

The silent make her feel restless, and not just her even the little cub in her arms was agonized by the silence.

"Don't be scared, I'm here" Zhao Li Xin tighten the grips of his hand.

His voice did give her comfort and the warmth from his hand make her anxiety decreased quite a bit "I know..." she replies gently.

Zhao Li Xin suddenly halted his pace, he notices something in the corner he increased the fire on his torch using his own Qi and then he saw frozen corpses lay on the ground because this place is freezing so the corpses are still in a good condition.

"Who are they?" Lory was stunned.

"Don't know..." Zhao Li Xin walks toward the corpses then he crouches and examined the corpses "The armor design is old, no one wears this type of design anymore" Zhao Li Xin contemplates.

"How old do you think it is?" Lory was in awe watching the corpses, she doesn't scared at all, she had seen worst than this.

"They don't use a crystal to infuse the bronze armor, the infused technique had been known for a long time at least for the last five hundred years, these corpses seem older than that," said Zhao Li Xin.

Zhao Li Xin searches the corpse's body to search for some clue his hand stop on the corpse's waist then he found a small wooden plaque with Xie carved on it.

"Is he from the Xie family?" Lory gasped.

"The servant more likely, perhaps he is a soldier from Xie family," said Zhao Li Xin.

"How could Xie family soldier stranded here?" Lory was baffled while Zhao Li Xin checks another corpse and he found another wooden plaque.

"Not just Xie family, this one from Chen family" Zhao Li Xin frown deepen.

"What?!" Lory's eyes widen from shock.

[This one from Nan family] suddenly Girsha cuts in, he pulls wooden plaque from another corpse with his feet, he grabs the plaque then sends it to Lory's hand.

Lory read the word Nan on the plaque with the stupefied expression "Could it be this is the corpses from the four noble families?"

"Remember about the stories about the four families subdue the beast?" Zhao Li Xin stand up while wiped his hands with a clean handkerchief "People thought the four family patriarch gallantly facing the mighty beast just the four of them but the truth is they all bring an army to help them to subdue the beast"

"So it's a lie..." Lory conclude.

"Not really, the story never says it's only the four of them, the book said the four families against the beast, it was people presumption the four family patriarch came alone, just like a brave hero"

"Well, people tend to exaggerate a story isn't it..." Lory mutter as she tilts her head.

suddenly the little cub becomes restless, the little guy keeps twitching inside her arms "What's wrong with you sweety?"

"Everyone hide!" Girsha used local language to warn Zhao Li Xin and Lory.

Zhao Li Xin extinguishes his torch with a swift swing then he pulls Lory to hide behind the ice pillar. All of a sudden the ground is shaking and From the sounds of it stomping feet whatever it is....is big!
