The Princess And The Lord-Chapter 1379: The Fire Spirit’s Lament

After venting her troubles and worries to Zhao Li Xin, Lory’s mood improved a lot. Unfortunately, she didn’t have time to spend more time with Zhao Li Xin because there was still a pile of documents waiting for her.

Moreover, the plenary meeting would be held the next day, so Lory had no other choice but to return to the royal study room.

Zhao Li Xin did not stay idle because he also had a lot of things to do. After Lory left, he went to the mystical realm to check on Lucas. It had become a routine for Zhao Li Xin to check on Lucas so that Lory could feel at ease and do her work with a peaceful mind.

After making sure that his condition was not getting worse or better, Zhao Li Xin checked the space in the mystical realm which had increasingly expanded after he used Zerenium to patch the rupture on his ring.

Once it was fixed there were significant changes in the environment inside the mystique realm one of the big changes was the absence of an erupting volcano like when it was still controlled by Huo Long that had been replaced by a quiet dark gray mountain surrounded by a beautiful blue ocean and a bright blue sky covered by thin white clouds, unfortunately, because the time inside the space had been frozen the whole place remain still just like a view in the photo.

Zhao Li Xin lowered his head looking at the lush green grass beneath his feet then turned his gaze to the cliff that stood majestically among the waves and seagulls flying around it and making nests, but like everything else it remained still and a strange eerie silence hovers in the space.

[I guarantee the view will be even more amazing when you release the time in this place,] the fire spirit’s head suddenly peeked behind Zhao Li Xin.

Zhao Li Xin’s expression remained impassive and did not seem disturbed by the tense atmosphere that enveloped the entire place, because, Zhao Li Xin, never cared about trivial things like scenery.

Zhao Li Xin continued to ignore the fire spirit and then continued to look for a comfortable spot to sit down and suddenly he noticed a bench that was not there before.

Seeing Zhao Li Xin’s question look, the fire spirit immediately informed, [This place will automatically fulfill all your needs, master]

Zhao Li Xin paused for a moment then sat on the bench then he opened his palm and a jade ring appeared after that he opened his other hand and a chunk of Zerenium appeared.

He crushed the Zerenium stone as the zerenium pieces floated in the air then slowly merged and after that the dark purple fire engulfed the ring.

Zhao Li Xin formed a hand formation then formed an array around the ring and soon after that the fire grew bigger then gradually both the jade and the Zerenium melted together and gradually merged together and a moment after the fire suddenly burst like a torch.

[Master, you scared me!] The fire spirit jumped with its feet or whatever they were.

Zhao Li Xin ignored the fire spirit’s shenanigans. He remained focused on refining the ring because the process was very complicated. If he missed even a little bit, everything he had worked on would shatter in pieces.

After a long time, the process finally ended and the color of the jade ring changed from emerald green to turquoise, slowly after that, the ring gently landed on Zhao Li Xin’s palm.

"Wow, this spatial ring is really good, it’s not like your ring, not only do you manage to retain the previous contents but you also expand its space, master your genius!" The fire spirit exclaimed in shock.

Zhao Li Xin inspected the ring, and only after feeling satisfied with the result did his furrowed brows relax a little.

[Is for the young madam, right?] he asked with certainty.

The fire spirit was one hundred percent sure that the ring was for Lory because an indifferent man like Zhao Li Xin would not waste his time making something as complicated as a spatial ring if it was not for his wife.

[Isn’t this too simple for someone like my wife?] Zhao Li Xin muttered.

[I think spatial rings are about utility not aesthetics, Master] The fire spirit thought Zhao Li Xin’s worries were unnecessary.

However, Zhao Li Xin disagreed [No, I think making a simple engraving would make the ring look more sophisticated]

The longer he lived in the world, the more he understood Lory’s esteemed position in the eyes of the people and was ashamed of how conceited he was for thinking that he had treated Lory very well.

[I don’t think young madam, will agree with you, master] The fire spirit was certain Lory would agree with him.

Zhao Li Xin smiled faintly knowing the fire spirit’s comment was right, his expression softened, [My wife is indeed very humble and modest, that being said it only gives me more reasons to treat her even better...]

Zhao Li Xin’s long fingers fiddle with the rings while contemplating about what kind of design would suit her lover’s sweet and gentle demeanor then a thought suddenly flashes in his mind Zhao Li Xin turns to fire spirit [Have you heard anything from Girsha again?]

Disappointment was etched in the fire spirit’s voice, [No, there is no news from Oblivion, as I said, Lord Girsha probably used all his strength to maintain the balance of the place because the creatures escaped through one of the doors.]

Zhao Li Xin’s expression deepened, he was worried about Girsha’s situation, how much time he had left, and how depressed Lory would be if she found out.

It dawned on him that time was running out and he had to improve his array of skills as soon as possible.

[Master, I know what you are thinking but remember if something happens to you, Young Madam will blame herself, you don’t want that tragedy to repeat itself, right?] It didn’t take a mind reader to know what Zhao Li Xin was thinking.

Fire Spirit’s warning snapped him back from his dark thoughts. Zhao Li Xin didn’t want to be the one who caused Lory pain and despair, he didn’t want to see an ounce of pain in her velvet eyes ever again, she had suffered enough.

[Do you have any ideas to improve the array of skills in this world?] Zhao Li Xin hoped that the fire spirit who had served Emperor Lei Yu and knew Zian might have more knowledge than him.

The fire spirit pondered for a long time to the point Zhao Li Xin lost his patience. Just as he was about to leave the Mystic Realm, the fire spirit suddenly shouted, [Master, I remember Zian once said that in this world there is something called a hidden ruin!]

Zhao Li Xin frowned as he considered whether the information from this stupid creature was reliable or not, but he had no other ideas so there was no harm in him listening further, [Explain?] he ordered.

[Yes, master!] The fire spirit’s voice rose with enthusiasm, [That place is usually hidden in the underground dungeon so it’s not easy to find!]

[Like the Labyrinth we entered before?] Zhao Li Xin said.

[Well it’s similar but the underground dungeon area is wider and the path is not as complicated as the Labyrinth and has more treasure relics but that’s if it hasn’t been taken by the hunters who entered the place first]

Zhao Li Xin waved his hand he wasn’t interested in treasures or anything like that because he didn’t need them in this world. [That’s not important, explain the hidden ruins you told me about before]

[Oh, yes, The hidden ruin as the name suggests is a place that is hidden or sealed by an iron gate or something, and the key is usually guarded by a powerful being that controls the place like the ’Dungeon Boss’ so you have to find the boss and defeat it to enter the place if you succeed in conquering the place I heard there are many ancient treasures and precious materials that can’t be found anywhere else!] the fire spirit explained excitedly

Zhao Li Xin narrowed his eyes, he was not interested at all [I just need to increase the power of my Array] he said flatly.

Zhao Li Xin’s words are like a cold shower to it fire spirit’s fiery mood, [I know...all the hidden ruined said to be cast by powerful illusion spell so only people with strong mental strength can defeat the illusion spell inside the ruined and since Array skill is directly related to mental strength so I thought you can used that place to train your mental strength, that way you simultaneously increased your array skill]

Zhao Li Xin was silent while contemplating the fire spirit’s idea. It wasn’t a bad idea if the place was as the fire spirit said. However, he was hesitant to leave Lory for a long time again, he felt that their time together in this world was less than when they were in the cultivator world.

To be honest, Zhao Li Xin was unhappy about the situation, unfortunately, Lory had responsibilities and duties as the regent of the King so he didn’t want to add to her burden therefore if he wanted to make Lory’s life easier he had to quickly wake Lucas up and get Girsha out of oblivion only then could they return to their relaxed life like when they were in the cultivator world at least that was Zhao Li Xin’s hope.

[Oh master that place is usually filled with powerful beings and I’m sure many of them have strong fire essence. so what do you think? You can increase the immortal flame power as well, moreover, about the treasures, you might not need them but Young Mistress might appreciate them, after all, it’s not easy to run a country so every gold and jewel would come in handy for Youn Madam]

The fire spirit deliberately coaxed Zhao Li Xin to increase his strength right away because only then could Zhao Li Xin finally summon his real form. The fire spirit did not dare to say that he yearned to be held tightly by his master’s hands.

The Fire Spirit had a feeling that if he dared to voice his real intention to his master, he was sure his cruel master would melt his sword form into a pool of metal liquid. No way, he didn’t want to die like this!!
