The Princess And The Lord-Chapter 1074 Farewell II

The world seemed silent, and time seemed to stand still, everything seemed to freeze in stagnation, leaving nothing but a suffocating emptiness inside him, and as soon as the tears running down his cheeks dried up, there will be nothing left for him but endless sorrow, he knew this pain would be everlasting.

As soon as Girsha managed to break free he found Zhao Li Xin sitting on the ground while hugging Lory's body, immediately fear crawled inside him a second later Girsha shrunk his body and then swiftly towards Lory.

Since the connection between them had been forcibly severed, Girsha couldn't know Lory's situation but it wasn't necessary cause he could see the color had dried from Lory's face and her chest had stopped moving, it doesn't take supernatural power to know what had happened to her but Girsha wasn't ready to accept the reality yet.

[Lory...] Grisha pecked Lory's hand gently but the coldness on Lory's fingers was like cold water that forced him to accept the reality he feared, [What you had done, girl…] tears like a transparent bead roll on the birds face down to his pink beak.

"I killed her..." Zhao Li Xin's voice was muffled in Lory's shoulder.

The shock on Girsha's face gradually replace by weary sadness, Girsha lower his head then shook his little head weakly "No...is not you..." overwhelmed by sorrow Girsha rubbed his head inside Lory's palm but the silly girl remained quiet and it felt like a knife tore his heart apart.

"It was them...the Demons, the seeress...the Gods...they all used her like a measly pawn, they used her and cast her away, they the one who killed her….my girl, my little girl…" hatred filled Girsha voice "My girl has been fighting an unimaginable war all her life trying to change her destiny....she fought and fought but still no matter what she did, no matter we tried to help her, in the end, we can't change the fate that has been determined, but at least she finally got her peace, nothing can hurt her now..."

No words can describe the pain he feels, the hole in his heart that had been closed is now wide open, even larger and deeper than before and no hatred, sorrow, or regret can fill it.

The world has lost its luster, nothing is left to fight for, and life seems more like a prison that bound him with endless torture called 'time' Zhao Li Xin suddenly feels scared to imagine the life he has to carry on. Zhao Li Xin hugged Lory's empty body tightly as if he was holding the last bit of light he had before it was completely gone.

Zhao Li Xin pull his head from her shoulder and then give a long kiss on Lory's pale lips just like he always did every morning to wake her up but this time the girl's eyes remained closed, Zhao Li Xin kept staring at her sleeping face, soon it was dawned to him how peaceful she appeared to be, no pained looming over her face, no burdened weighted her expression, no guilted that haunted her dream...maybe Girsha was right….she finally found her peace but what about him? Zhao Li Xin quietly stared at Lory's face with hollow eyes soon darkness gather in his eyes and filled it.

'Peace...there will be no peace for me'

Without warning Zhao Li Xin Qi exploded like wildfire that spread rapidly in all directions, Zhao Li Xin's strength appeared too suddenly and strong even Girsha's giant body could not withstand it he was blown into the air like dry leaves until Girsha had to return to his original form In order to withstand the shock of Zhao Li Xin's strength, as the flames reach towards him Girsha flapped his giant wings summoning the wind which then split Zhao Li Xin's fire.

[Damn, he lost control!] Girsha cursed furiously.

But his worries weren't over yet suddenly from a distance several Bing Fang the flying beasts flew towards him at high speed then he heard someone screaming at the top of her lungs.

"Lord Girsha!" Ming Yue Yin stood on the flying beast behind her Jin Hao and Yuan Shao also stand while the Mong brothers and the four palace kings also came riding their own flying beast.

Meanwhile, Zhao Li Xin's flame spread uncontrollably and would kill anyone indiscriminately, Girsha didn't want Lory's friends to get hurt he flew towards them and then wrapped them inside her giant wings soon after a wind barrier appeared covering them like a transparent blanket then at the same time the immortal flame rush toward them luckily it blocked by Girsha barrier.

'Careful!' Girsha scream in alarm.

Even inside Girsha's protective barrier, they could still feel the scorching heat burn their skin, quickly they attached multiple fire talismans to their body still without Girsha's protection the amulet would be useless nonetheless.

"What's going on here? Where are Milord and madam?" Bei Li Yan asked worriedly he still couldn't comprehend how Zhao Li Xin's flames went out of control, for all he know this shouldn't happen when Lory is around!

Grisha's eyes became dull, he opened his wings slowly but kept the barrier around them as protection then Girsha looked down "They are over there..."

Below they saw Zhao Li Xin carrying Lory's body while being surrounded by a sea of flames that roiled wildly uncontrollably like fierce waves in the ocean during a great storm.

"No, that can't be true!" Ming Yue Ying's face shrieked in shock, she refused to believe her eyes "Did Lory faint, auntie fainted right, she ran out of mana again right - <strong>RIGHT?!</strong>" Ming Yue Yin looked at Girsha expectantly she waited for Girsha to reaffirm her words but Girsha turned quiet soon after the spark in the bird's round emerald eyes dimmed, immediately Ming Yue Yin's feet became jelly she fell to her knees, she gawk disbelief.

"Yue!" Yuan Shao hugged Ming Yue Yin from behind he wanted to give words of consolation unfortunately, his head went blank no words could come out only sadness could be felt.

"Lory...Impossible" Bei Li Yan's voice faltered, he couldn't believe the woman who had always seemed strong and confident had left...she left without saying goodbye.

Jin Hao and Wu San Bo fell silent, they didn't want to believe that such an intelligent and gentle woman had died, so soon and too fast, even though there was still much they wanted to talk with her, Jin Hao realized he hadn't asked Lory advice on the matter of Yuan Xue and also the matter of Jin Hua and Bei Li Yan that annoyed him, there was still much he wanted to talk about but it was too late.

Wu San Bo look up in order to hold his tears, actually, he was planning to talk about Guan Men Niang's matter after this was over, he thought he had a lot of time but he was too naive.

"How could this happen, how can Milord let this happen, how could he let that demon kill madam Lory!" Jiang Jin Wei balled his fist in anger mixed with frustration.

"It's not Lazarus...not directly" Girsha's voice becomes heavy as he holds his rage.

Jin Hao saw the bloodied red sword lying on the ground and his whole body was tense, he look at Girsha "No...no way...please tell me I'm wrong..." Jin Hao's brows were tightly knitted together and his entire expression was etched with despair, "This is too cruel..."

Grisha's eyes turned misty, he shook his head and the strength within him seemed to be sucked in by weariness, "We didn't know the crimson Lightning sword absorbed Emperor Lei Yu's overwhelming resentment that even persists after thousands of years as a result that negative emotion affected Zhao Li Xin like Li Mo Zhen was affected by the white sword back then but far worse, Lory couldn't wake him up...so she makes a decision, a foolish one nonetheless..."

Without further explanation, they understood what had happened and their hearts were shattered knowing the tragedy that had occurred.

"This is all Lazarus's doing right...." Ming Yue Yin's face darkened "He planned all of this right to get Lory's soul, is that mean…" Ming Yue Yin's eyes widened in horror. f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋ｎoѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺

"No..." Girsha's voice became bitter, "Lory...has destroyed her soul, she did whatever it takes to wake up Zhao Li Xin in order to separate him from the crimson lightning sword's influence but she couldn't let Lazarus get her soul or everything will be too late, therefore..." Girsha's exasperation replaces with helplessness "I can't stop her…again" Girsha's cried in bitter tears as he drowns in regret for failing to protect Lory for the second time.
