Inside the bedroom, Lory braided her hair so it wouldn't block her view after Lory finished putting on her gloves and then elbow and knee protectors she opened and closed her palms while checking the weapons neatly arranged on the table.

Lory checked the weapons one by one, ranging from bows, arrows, daggers, small knives explosives, and others. Lory made sure everything was in good condition, although she was sure all the weapons that Zhao Li Xin made for her were not ordinary weapons, still, she liked to check her weapons when she had free time, this was a habit taught by Fargo even though she didn't do it as often but the habit never completely disappeared.

[Back to the habit, eh?] Girsha flapped his wings and then landed on the table.

[It used to calm me down, help me to focus before battle] Lory checked the newly upgraded red daggers, courtesy of Zhao Li Xin of course.

[Even though you only need Trinity's staff as a weapon?] Girsha remembers in the past Lory also carry other weapons.

Lory flick a glance at Girsha before her gaze returned to her dagger again, [You know they always prepare us for the worst scenario so Lucas and I trained with ordinary weapons, and without our gifts, they teach us to fight with only our strength and wits, forget about trinity staff they don't even allow us to use the weapon that got an affinity with our Gift] Lory blew her cheek as she recalled the hard training she went through.

[Well, Marcus trained you guys really hard,] Girsha reminiscences the past.

Back then even Lory and Lucas' standard practice was quite extreme, only one would know that Lucicent's heir was very strong but it's actually not an easy task to control a Gift if indeed no one would die from failing to control their owned Gift, actually, the stronger the Gifts, the higher their risk of getting hurt or dying so Lory and Lucas were trained strictly however at the same time, they were not allowed to depend on their Gifts alone.

In short, it is not easy to be a descendant of Lucient.

[But because of that, we survived the dark age] Lory smiled while contemplating for a second then waved her hands above the table, and all the weapons on the table stored inside her ring.

[That's true] Girsha nodded in agreement.

Lory then sat down and changed his shoes into dark leather boots, Lory didn't know what material Zhao Li Xin used to make the boots but they were soft on the inside but hard on the outside but also supple and flexible so they didn't interfere with her movements, Lory smiled with satisfaction admiring her husband's extraordinary creation.

[We still don't know how to fix Trinity staff] Girsha suddenly chimed in.

[Nope,] Lory rose from the chair and answer perfunctorily.

[You're not worried?] Girsha asked.

[Even if I'm worried, what can I do?] Lory smiled dryly [Myths say the trinity staff was created by God using his bones and blood then forged with eternal fire...so tell me what can we do about it?] Lory helplessly said.

[Yeah, it's hard to find anything that could replace something that belongs to God, well it also depends if the staff is really made of the God's body,] Girsha said with a resignation tone.

[No one knows] Lory shrugged.

[Yeah, no one knows] Girsha clicked his tongue.

Lory understood Girsha was worried she was also wondering if the staff only served to store her power fragments or if it was purposed for something bigger? needless to say this is another puzzle for her to solve? Lory leaned against the window sill watching the sunrise slowly as the sunlight touched her face with warmth.

[So much to do, so little time] Lory let out a long sigh.

Girsha jumps off the table and lands on Lory's shoulder [Funny, I've been alive for who God's knows for how long but now, I feel like I don't have enough time]

Lory chuckled then rested her head on Girsha's [We've been together for so long even crossed two worlds together but why do I feel our time together is too short]

Girsha also rested his head on Lory's cheek while saying quietly [Time is short if you are with the one you love]

The door then suddenly opened and Zhao Li Xin entered the room he look at Lory and ask "Are you ready?"

Lory turned and smiled confidently. "Anytime," Girsha flew then transform into a glowing white orb and then disappeared inside Lory's chest.

"Let's go!" Zhao Li Xin stretched out his hand towards Lory.

Lory grabbed Zhao Li Xin's hand and her smile grew wider, "Do you think it will be fun?"

Zhao Li Xin's corner curved into a smirk, "You will not be disappointed"

​ In another courtyard Yang Xi Ying leaned against the head of the bed watching Li Mo Zhen get ready, he was carrying the white sword that once cursed him at one point it brought misfortune to him but on the other hand, it brought him to meet Lory and Zhao Li Xin because of them his fate was changed, deep down Li Mo Zhen know for certain that meeting Lory had changed him and Yang Xi Ying future for the better including his sect.

Because he changed the sects naturally changed with him, unlike before, the Jiu Yun sect no longer isolated themselves from the cultivation world instead they demonstrated their abilities and competed fiercely with other sects to become the strongest sect in the Liang Zu kingdom.

Therefore, who doesn't know the name of the Jiu Yun sect now, in the past three years their sect territory has doubled and their members have also increased significantly, this is all possible because of the Hei Shen sect and Zhao Li Xin's help, in the end, no words would enough to express how grateful he was to Lory and Zhao Li Xin, therefore, what he could only do now is helping Lory and Zhao Li Xin as much as he can.

"You have to be careful," Yang Xi Ying said suddenly.

Li Mo Zhen looked at his beautiful wife frowning anxiously making him smile a little "Don't worry, I'm not alone all the strongest members of the Jiu Yun sect will come with me after all Zhao Li Xin, Lory, and the four Kings Hei Shen and the members will also come so there's nothing to worry about" Li Mo Zhen sitting next to his wife's bed, holding his wife's hand gently.

"I know, I heard that the Sword Saint sect and several other sects will also join" Yang Xi Ying pursed her lips in reluctance "I'm annoyed that I can't come!" she snorted loudly.

Li Mo Zhen's mouth twitched, of course, what truly make his wife was sad because she can't come along, Li Mo Zhen then patted her palm gently "What can you do? you are pregnant so stay at home, there will be a protective array around the residence so don't go out!" he reprimanded her sternly.

Yang Xi Ying rolls her eyes "Of course, I'm not crazy!"

"You are not crazy but you are hot-headed" Li Mo Zhen muttered.

Yang Xi Ying's eyes instantly glint dangerously "What did you say?"

Li Mo Zhen swiftly correct himself and wrapped his arms around her shoulder "I mean you are very enthusiastic and kind so you might not be able to help yourself to help us when something happens, but I hope you don't do that cause I'm gonna be crazy if something happens to you and our child" Li Mo Zhen tries to coax her wife temper.

Yang Xi Ying elbowed Li Mo Zhen's chest lightly "Do you think I'm crazy enough to risk our child, I love you and Lory but I also have a responsibility as a mother to protect my child so I will not be reckless" Yang Xi Ying feel offended Li Mo Zhen think she will be that irresponsible.

"Okay-okay, it's my fault, don't be angry" Li Mo Zhen pleaded pitifully.

Yang Xi Ying can't be angry for too long when Li Mo Zhen acts like this she also doesn't want to fight with him before he engages in an important battle, Yang Xi Ying then presses her head on Li Mo Zhen's chest "The baby in my stomach…I think is a Son" she whispers in a gentle tone.

"Eh, what makes you think that?" Li Mo Zhen was bewildered.

Yang Xi Ying shrugged and smiled, "I just felt it, but I don't know, perhaps I'm wrong?" she laughed.

"It doesn't matter, boy or girl is the same" Li Mo Zhen's expression softened as he imagine the face of his child would be.

"I knew you would say that" Yang Xi Ying looked at Li Mo Zhen lovingly, her expression turned serious "You have to be very careful not to let your guard down, I don't want you to be with you when I give birth to our first child"

Li Mo Zhen knew Yang Xi Ying realized how dangerous the fight would be because their opponent was not just anyone, not to mention that one of them was literally not a human. Of course, Yang Xi Ying would be very worried but she also knew the importance of this fight.

The battle later will not only concern the Hei Shen sect and Lory but also the safety of all mankind because of that they unite to defeat Lao Min Na and Wei Zu Tian in the hope of stopping the demon.

"Don't worry I will be fine, I will always be by your side until you feel bored with me" Li Mo Zhen gently kissed her forehead.
