The Princess And The Lord

Chapter 699 - Sneak Into The Island

No words left Sanguan Wu Ci's mouth only loop side grinned to confirmed Zhao Li Xin question, the air around them suddenly become heavy, and the tension increasing. There's only one step distance between Zhao Li Xin and Sanguan Wu Ci, they bore their gaze to each other with a murderous intent glaze in their eyes.

"She's no the woman you can covet, brother"

"It's not your place to tell me what to do…brother" Sanguan Wu Ci said in defiant looks.

"Then let me tell you something for the sake of our…brotherhood" Zhao Li Xin leaned forward "If you played with fire, you will get burned" he hissed. The coldness in his eyes made all the hair in his body raised and chills his body.

Zhao Li Xin straightened his back, he stares at sanguan Wu Ci for three seconds but for three seconds Sanguan Wu ci felt his body froze under Zhao Li Xin pressured, he wanted to moves but his body didn't listen to his command.

Sanguan Wu Ci feel embarrassed, how could a saint-level cultivator like him become so weak against a low-level cultivator, but then something strikes him, what if Zhao Li Xin hides his real cultivation, what if he lying all this time?!

His heart beating erratically like a drum, he looks at Zhao Li Xin incredulously. Only then he realizes something is not right,  everything that happened recently, what if it's not a coincidence what if Zhao Li Xin is the one behind all this?

"You…you are not Lu Xin?" sudden chills swept through him as his eyes grew wider.

Zhao Li Xin cocked his head, he doesn't admit or denied it, he gave a vague smile, Zhao Li Xin didn't bother to explain since nothing would change anyway, Zhao Li Xin turns around and walk away before he left he give Sanguan Wu Ci last warning "Remember my words..." he said without looking back.

"Is that a threat?" Sanguan Wu Ci shouted angrily.

"It's a promise…" Zhao Li Xin left the room at a steady pace.

Sanguan Wu Ci froze in his spot, his pulsed race and his breaths become heavy it feel it would burst in any seconds. He must tell his father about this, he can't let Zhao Li Xin stayed any longer in their manor, this man is too dangerous.

Zhao Li Xin didn't bother with Sanguan Wu Ci, he only needs one thing more, he looks over his shoulder and says: "Tell that Bai woman to meet me in two hours at the bamboo forest"

"Yes, Milord!" Mong Liu cupped his fist.

"Let's end this quickly…." Zhao Li Xin knows he can't hold his temper any longer since they dare to insult his princess right on his face.

No one can't get away from that.

Late at night in the middle of the ocean, a ship was docked behind a giant boulder the harsh waves hit the ship below and moves the ship gently. Meantime, on the top deck, a woman with dark robes watched using the telescope "Is that the place?" she asked.

"Yes, it used to be an inhabitant island before but recently we saw a lot of ships came and go around the island" Said Mong Yi.

Lory focussing the telescope lens and she saw a few orange dot and smoke, it means a lot of people make camp on the island. She shifts the telescope and saw a few people who used a small boat to approach somewhere that looks like the entrance of the sea cave.

"I think that is the cavern?" Lory gives the telescope to Bei Li Yan then she points her finger to where the small boat was.

Using the telescope Bei Li Yan follow Lory's direction and he nodded "Yes, I guessed so..."

Girsha perched on the ship rail, his green eyes could see through more than human eyes and telescope and he could see something very wrong in the island [Lory I could feel a black miasma all over the island, it could be dangerous]

[Yeah, I feel it too…is like the whole island was ooze with dark magic" Lory clicked her tongue as she worried for everyone's safety.

"You all got the new weapon?" Lory shouts at the whole Hei Shen members on the ship.

"Yes, madam!" they answer simultaneously.

"Good, because I think the beast was not only in the cavern" Lory sighed "Remember not to face the Beast alone, and if it's too much please 'RUN' okay, there's no shamed about it" Lory remind them again, the culture here that they will not back down from enemy no matter what is admirable but it also worrisome.

"Understood madam!" they answer in tunes again.

"So, what should we now?" Bei Li Yan grinned excitedly, there's not a shred of worry on his face.

Lory shakes her heads "Too many guards watched the island, we can't use a boat to the shore"

"You mean we should swim to the shore?" Bei Li Yan raised his eyebrow.

"I hope you don't mind getting wet?" Lory snickered.

Bei Li Yan scrunched his face and stroke his hair sadly "Oh, my beautiful hair…" he weep.

Mong Yi rolled his eyes, the other Hei Shen member also feigns ignorant with Bei Li Yan antics. Lory put on the necklace that Zhao Li Xin give her, not only because the necklace could warm her body in the cold water is also used as a Goodluck charmed. Is not really a charmed but soldiers and hunter used to carry a sentimental object as mental support when they face a dangerous mission.

Lory kisses the necklace then hides safely inside her collar.

"Master, can I come with you?" Shin Jiu's round eyes plead pitifully.

Lory who got hit by the twinkles in Shin Jiu eyes must strengthen her will, she crouches on one knee and patted the boy shoulder "No, remember our agreement, you have to stay in a ship"

"Okay…" Shin Jiu nodded in grief.

Lory feel bad but she can't let him come since the place seems more dangerous than she had expected "Hey, I'm not let you here just to mopping, you stayed here as my back up okay, if you see the red flare you must  find a way to immediately contact our Lord for reinforcement, you understand?"

Shin Jiu's face lit up, he becomes excited all of the sudden. Lory glad this trick that her father used to her comes in handy. Lory stroked the boy's head then raised on her feet.

Bei Li Yan suddenly chuckled "If that really happened then the hybrid beast is the least we worry about"

"What, you think Li Xin wouldn't help us?" Lory looks down to check the water. it's all very dark and the weather is quite cold tonight.

"No, he saves us but then he killed us…" Bei Li Yan drew a long breath.

"But, you didn't try to stop me?"

"I know is useless," Bei Li Yan said while tied his long hair into a ponytail "Besides, I like live on the edge…" he winks.

"Ha, you and me bro!" Lory then jumps to the water followed by Mong Liu, Bei Li Yan, and three other Hei Shen shadow guards. Girsha turns himself into an orb then merged with Lory.

"Master!" Shin Jiu clenched the wooden rail as he looks down anxiously.

Lory's head appears from the water, she looks up and waved her hand to Shin Jiu "I'll be back, watch the ship for me!"

"Master, be careful if something happened just used master Bei as a shield!"

"….." Bei Li Yan speechless.

"Okay!" Lory gives the boy thumbs up.

The six of them took a dive, they swim below the water surface to avoid the guards that watch along the beach. Using luminescence pearl as a flashlight they swim in a dark night, Bei Li Yan poked Lory's shoulder, he asked if she okay, he worries Lory will out of breath, Lory used her finger as he make a circle in the water then suddenly a bubble appear then cover everyone face.

Lory then gives them a sign to breathe, Bei Li Yan and the others feel a bit hesitant but they trusted Lory, they saw a transparent bubble on his face they convince it was Lory worked, they carefully take a long inhaled and stunned because they actually can breathe air under the sea, they look at Lory in shock, Lory sighed in relief because the underwater spell worked, she gave them a signal to hurry up as the spell only worked for five minutes.
