"Where am I?" he didn't know where he was or what he was doing when he looked up a blazing flame swirled rapidly like a tornado surrounding him like a trapped beast, the heat grazed his skin in a familiar way but he couldn't remember when he summoned these flames, he suddenly felt his hand damp, he lool down on his hand and he was struck by the amount of blood on his hand.

"What happens? Whose blood it is? Is it mine?"

Behind him, a faint voice called him.

"Xin..."

He turned around and what he saw made his entire body go numb, his pulse racing at an unimaginable speed as he stared at the scene in full horror then suddenly a deafening scream shattered his hearing.

Zhao Li Xin's body jerked from the bed, sweat drenches his forehead, he sat on the beads with his heart pounding, Zhao Li Xin quickly raised his hand and checked his hand thoroughly, it took a while for him to be sure that his hands were completely clean without the slightest bloodstain, but then another thought hit him, Zhao Li Xin pulled up the blanket frantically.

Losing the warmth from the blanket Lory subconsciously groaned without opening her eyes then she instinctively curled herself up in a fetal position to warm herself, seeing her sleeping peacefully Zhao Li Xin's heart gradually calmed down after that he realized his mistake and quickly covered her back with the blanket.

Still, the uneasiness in his heart remained, Zhao Li Xin pinched the bridge of his brows trying to ease his stress, he thought he was too stressed because of the Sword matter, Lao Min Na, Lazarus, and Wei Zu Tian.

Zhao Li Xin turned his gaze to the sleeping beauty beside him gradually his anxiety disappeared, Zhao Li Xin then laid his back on the bed then suddenly Lory snuggle in his arms, Zhao Li Xin lips involuntarily curled into a gentle smile, Zhao Li Xin then pulled her closer and wrapped her inside his embrace. 

'It's so heavy…'

'I cannot move'

'I cannot breathe…'

When Lory awakes she was stunned because she found herself sleeping on top of Zhao Li Xin 'What the heck!'

Lory knows she has bad habits when she sleeps, like kicking the blanket or wrapping herself in the blanket she also knows she is very clingy when she sleeps it's amazing Zhao Li Xin never complains about her sleeping posture but today her bad habit just reached another level, how the hel* she ended up on top of her husband hugging him like a koala hugging a tree trunk.

"Morning..." Zhao Li Xin greeted her without opening his eyes, his voice hoarse and lazy which made her sound very sexy.

But then Lory realize her inappropriate position, Lory quickly pull herself from Zhao Li Xin and apologize repeatedly "Sorry – sorry – sorry" no only did she feel guilty make him uncomfortable she also afraid she crushed him with her weight Lory didn't want to admit it but she still bothers by Girsha comment about her gaining weight.

But Zhao Li Xin suddenly tightened his grip on her waist without giving her a chance to move "Stay like this" he whisper with his eyes close.

"Am I not heavy?" Lory was afraid that she would suffocate him or worst, Zhao Li Xin would find out she had gained weight.

"No...you're warm and sift..." He replied casually but his unintentionally vulgar words made Lory's face turn very red, he didn't expect to seduce in the morning, then again Zhao Li Xin was known to attack her opponent when they were less expected, well done!

Surrendering to her fate Lory rested her chin on Zhao Li Xin's chest "Did you sleep well?" she finally ask.

Zhao Li Xin let out a long exhale then slowly opened his eyes, and their gazes met. Luckily when he woke up this morning he had already forgotten half of his nightmare however the horrible sensation still remained.

"No...I don't remember but it's not about your past…" he said while rubbing her back. Zhao Li Xin did not lie, he didn't think it got anything with Lory's past however this undeniably connected with Lory because only her could make him feel this frightened.

"Oh… what was that dream about?"

"I don't remember but I feel so sad, sadder than I've ever felt... it feels worse than dying, no, I think dying will be much bett...."

"Sssh" Lory covered her mouth "Don't say bad things in the morning..."

Zhao Li Xin raised her eyebrows, Lory's sullen face automatically lifted his gloomy mood, Zhao Li Xin then grabbed Lory's hand and smiled, "Sorry... I won't say it again"

"Good, let's say something more uplifting, something that makes us happy!"

"Happy thought, huh? well, I have an idea …." Zhao Li Xin's eyes flashed mischievously, "This is something that can improve our mood" he smirked seductively.

Lory was confused for a moment but then she realized what he meant, Lory widened her eyes "It's already morning!" he half-shouted.

"So?" Zhao Li Xin narrowed her eyes, "You don't want to?" he playfully raised his eyebrows. Lory bit her lip pretending to be conflicted, oh who is she kidding, she is willing! Of course, she is willing! Let's go!

Lory just opened her mouth then suddenly they heard a knock from the door and followed with Mong Yi calling them awkwardly and slightly embarrassed "I'm sorry for disturbing your rest milord but people from heaven's Gate sect is here for an inspection, they demand Milord and madam presence"

Zhao Li Xin's face instantly darkened as everything that had happened recently the time for them to be intimately decreased immeasurably and now that he had finally found an opening, a bunch of insects dares to spoil her sweet time, Zhao Li Xin's eyes flashed maliciously, "I will kill them all!" he growled like a wounded beast.

Lory was also annoyed but duty always came first on her mind, Lory rolled off her body and jumped out of bed "Calm down, I'll take care of it while you take care of yourself, your role is a sick person so you don't have to go out, but you still need to be prepared because they probably came here to check on you…" after giving him a few reminders Lory looked at Zhao Li Xin's tense face, it's amazing how she can look even more alluring when he's angry, Lory shook her head while lamented to herself, she was so close from eating this beautiful man, what a shame.

"Tell them to wait!" Lory shouts at Mong Yi.

Hearing Lory's voice, Mong Yi was relieved, "Yes, Madam!" he saluted to the door even though he knew Lory wouldn't be able to see him, then Mong Yi threaded back in quite a happy mood, actually his job got much better after Lory came even though Zhao Li Xin wasn't a bad master either but he always felt intimidated by Zhao Li's cold aura Xin, but with Lory present he doesn't have to find Zhao Li Xin for every small thing since Zhao Li Xin agrees to most Lory opinion anyway.

Lory quickly changed her clothes, then tied her hair into a simple bun she also didn't forget to activate a shape-shifter spell on her wrist, after she was done she appear like a simple young housewife which gave a homey feeling to anyone who saw her. 

Zhao Li Xin's brows furrowed he felt a bit reluctant to let anyone see her wife even though she has disguised herself Lory still has a charm that can draw people with keen eyes, people like Sanguan Wu Ci and Wei Zu Tian could see there something extraordinary about her that's why they inevitably attracted to her.

It was fortunate that the people of Lao Manor were not aware of the treasure that lay within their home and thanks to that he didn't miss his chance fortunately he also didn't like other men who like filled their thought with unnecessary reasons, Zhao Li Xin always lives under the precept 'when you like something go for it!' thus he goes for Lory.

"Be careful Lory" Zhao Li Xin reminded her before she left.

"You mean me or them?" Lory lifted her chin expressing her confidence.

Zhao Li Xin chuckled, "Nevermind then…." he realized he wasn't worried about anything, a foot soldier like them wouldn't be able to graze her shadow moreover hurt her beside Wu San Bo and the Mong brother were there.

Lory giggled as she walk through the small door that connected their small residence with the Little Treasure's shop, they couldn't live in a luxurious place because all new people that stay or rent the villas and Manor were under strict surveillance by Heaven's gate sect members and Chang Lan soldiers that's why they had no choice to stay in a humble residence, well it was simple according to Zhao Li Xin's standards but for Lory, this small residence was actually quite good.

When Lorry arrived in the front room of the shop five people wearing bronze armor while carrying giant blades glaring at her, they carefully examined her and after a while, they turned their cheeks with a scoff as if they were disappointed about something, once again felt a little offended.

They all turned their attention back to Wu San Bo who was also already wearing a skin mask which made him look a little older and uglier than his actual self.

Yang Xi Ying and Li Mo Zhen were also present, so Lory took long strides towards them.
