The Princess And The Lord

Chapter 799 - Watching The Show III



All the group left the manor at the same time but then they split up when they arrived at the city square to observe Wei Zu Tian's movements. 

Lory, Zhao Li Xin, and the members of Hei Shen took the balcony of the restaurant's third floor, from there they had a perfect view of the stage that was purposely built in the town square for a drama performance.

​​

Lory look around her then notice that all the restaurants had rented out the second and third-floor balconies to the audience, Lory saw Ming Yue Yin lazily sitting on the sofa while Fu Ying was standing vigilantly beside her. Meantime the Su's sister was busy cater Ming Yue Yin's needs, later on, one of the sisters came over with a big bowl of noodles, watched Ming Yue Ying slurp noodles in an elegant manner, Lory contemplate Ming Yue Yin's obsession with noodles.

While Lory was contemplating, Mong Yi came in with a three-layer box containing assorted cakes then he placed them neatly on the table, Lory narrowed his eyes at Lory as he recalled the Fred once said to her.

'The ants in the distance can be seen but the elephants in front of the eyes are not'

Lory sheepishly moved the cake to his plate and ate quietly. She should be the last person who judged people about their obsession with food.

In another building, Li Mo Zhen and his subordinates also rented the third floor, beside him Mu Jan Ge accompanied him. Li Mo Zhen's handsome appearance caught the attention of many women as they stare at him while giggled and whisper at each other, however, Li Mo Zhen didn't seem to notice as his attention focus on somewhere else. 

Li Mo Zhen's cold demeanor satisfied Ming Yue Yin and Lory.

Soon after, a crowd began to gather around the large stage, and torches were lit to light up the stage, a minute later several men carrying musical instruments entered the stage, then followed by a woman wearing a snow-white hanfu cover with pink butterflies embroidery on her dress, the woman slowly climbed the stairs as the man watched her every move.

The beautiful woman looked very young she seems not older than twenty, her skin was white and smooth as jade, she had long black hair flowing down on her slender back, she had a pair of deep eyes that made her look timid and melancholic, overall the woman has perfectly described a delicate beauty.

This type of woman is very popular in this era because she instigates the male virility to protect and also increases the ego of every man to be needed and relied on.

Lory had to admit that the woman was quite beautiful, as soon as the female singer sang, immediately all the men were mesmerized, they all looked at the woman with burning eyes, full of desire and longing to be with her, on the other hand, the women stare at the songstress with eyes full of jealousy and hatred,  which no wonder since Songtress is every man's dream, so she naturally becomes every woman's enemy.

In her world, the songstress will be called the woman that we loved to hate.

Well, things didn't change, Lory sipped her tea with a strange pleasure at capturing the similarities between the people of this world and her old world.

"So, noisy!" Zhao Li Xin suddenly grumbled.

Lory looked at him with a confused look, "She really has to sing loud, darling. There's no way the songstress singing in a whisper, right?"

"But, I can't sleep" Zhao Li Xin complained in annoyance then he wrapped his arm around Lory's shoulder and rested his head on Lory's shoulder. "This is better..." he took a deep breath.

His warm breath on her neck made her blush, "Did you come here to sleep?" Lory reprimanded him but didn't stop him from sleeping "What will happen if Wei Zu Tian comes" Lory said.

Zhao Li Xin closed his eyes, the familiar sweet scent from her tickled his nose, instantly his whole body felt warm and serenity seeped into his heart. 

this feeling reminds him of the first time he met Lory. He still vividly remembered how time seemed to stop when he looked at her as if for a moment it was just the two of them and everything became a blur.

"Li Xin, are you sleeping already?" Lory called him again.

Zhao Li Xin rubbed her cheek against his shoulder and whispered in a lazy tone, "Don't worry, I can smell that bastard miles away"

however, what Zhao Li Xin actually feel was Wei Zu Tian's strong Qi, it was just that every time he felt Wei Zu Tian's presence he was reminded of the smell of blood, wine, perfume, and semen mingling into one horrible smell. Zhao Li Xin who was very sensitive to scent was particularly bothered by this.

How he wished he didn't have to be in the same place as Wei Zu Tian, unfortunately, the situation forced the opposite.

Lory was suddenly displeased with his answer "What do you mean you can smell it from miles away, is it the same as you smelled mine once?" the jealousy in Lory's words couldn't be clearer.

Since their relationship happened because Zhao Li Xin relentlessly searched for her based on her scent and sound, Lory didn't want Zhao Li Xin to recognize other people scents especially Wei Zu Tian, of course, it didn't make sense but as a woman, Lory sometimes didn't care if she was reasonable or not.

Zhao Li Xin was dumbfounded he subconsciously opened his eyes and their eyes collided, her irritated gaze made him laugh, nothing was funnier than her jealousy. Zhao Li Xin never understands how Lory could be so oblivious about the position she had in his heart.

Zhao Li Xin kissed her neck gently, "There's no one like you, Lory..." he chuckled then he casually rested his head back on her shoulder.

His sudden flirtatious moves startled her and she thought her heart stopped for a second, all of a sudden the blood in her body rush to her head, and her heart beating erratically. 

Zhao Li Xin hear Lory heartbeat and the smile on his face got widened, then he teased her "Princess, your heart is beating really fast" 

"Shut Up!" she hushed him, inwardly she could feel imaginary smoke exploding from above her head but what irritated Lory, even more, was that she could see Zhao Li Xin smiling from ear to ear.

Meanwhile, brother Mong reminded expressionlessly and Jin Hao looked very bored only Bei Li Yan quietly raised his wine cup to Ming Yue Yin with a wry smile plastered on his face saying 'Do you see this, do you enjoy the 'dog food' like us? '

Ming Yue Yin's mouth twitched, why when she searches where Lory was, why should she caught Lory and Zhao Li Xin flirting at each other. their intimate interaction reminds her of a certain man and she inevitably feel lonely, Ming Yue Yin pursed her lips. Ming Yue Yin raised the noodle bowl and gulped all the noodle broth ravenously at the same time she swallows her longing. 

'Hmph, where is that stupid general!'

Elsewhere there was another person who had the same feeling as Ming Yue Yin, Li Mo Zhen's lips twitched 'I have to bring Xi Ying here' he groaned inwardly.

[Girsha where are you old bird?] Lory used their connections to talk with Girsha.

With a lazy tone, the bird replied [On the roof watching humans make mating sounds]

[That's called singing, oldie!] Lory rebuked.

[So. Why are all the boys drooling like hyenas in front of a carcass deer?] Girsha quipped,

Lory fell silent, the evidence indeed apparent.

[If it's not called mating, I don't know what it is] Girsha said confidently.

[…..]

The Song continues, the sweet voice of the songstress enchanted 'almost' the whole male audience. Lory turns her glance beside her and sees Jin Hao have an intense game of chess with Bei Li Yan,  at the same time the Mong brothers, and young General Fu seems too preoccupied with the safety around them they ignored the songstress melodious voice, the same with Li Mo Zhen, he is also busy himself by reading a quite thick book and Zhao Li Xin.....well, he peacefully sleeping on her shoulder completely disinterest with the show whatsoever. For people who supposedly come to watch the show, they all failed miserably.

All of a sudden Zhao Li Xin raised his head "He's here"
