Two days passed but there was no sign of Lory waking.ZhaoLiXinfaithfully stayed by her side without sleep. JinHaorummaged through his library searching for clues on the illness, whileBeiLi Yan sent his people intoLiangzu''s pce to find out more about theLiangzuPrincess and her connection to Lou Ri Yi.


    Girshaalso remained in Lory''s room and kept his eyes on her. Although he felt her soul wasn''t in danger, he worried that her body would weaken if she slept for long. Humans needed to sustain their bodies with food and drink. Theck of technology in this world also meant there was no machine to sustain her body.??


    This would not have worriedGirshaif they were on Hand. Someone could stay in aa for ten years because they hadsufficienttechnology that couldmaintaina patient''s body condition.


    Girshawished there was a way for Lory to receiveZhaoLi Xin''s Qi. The only issue was she wasn''t of this world and her beingGifted didn''t help matters. The situation could probably have been easier if she was born a Creator as their bodies could be adjusted to the powers of this world.


    Girshagroaned in exasperation. If only he could find a way to synch her Gift with his Qi. His thoughts stopped when he saw the neZhaoLiXingave Lory. A new possibility hit him.


    <strong>''THAT''S IT!''</strong>


    _______________________________


    Lory stood in front of the weird tree. Shehad dreamedabout the tree from the moment she got into theLiangzuKingdom''s territory. She stretched her hand touched the tree trunk andwas surprisedto find it warm. Its temperature could bepared to a human''s.


    Lory followed her instincts and hugged the tree. The warmth wasforting. It reminded her ofZhaoLiXin. The man was such aworrywartand she suspected was worrying about her. He hoped he won''t make a very big fuss over her situation.


    She could feel someone staring at her but she didn''t see anyone when she first looked around. Something made her look down and found a cute face with curious eyes poking from behind the tree. Lory froze as she realized she was looking at a child.


    The child, agirllookedto besomewhere between seven or nine years old. Her hairwas partedinto two buns. The child blinked at Lory a few times before she scoffed in annoyance, "What took you so long?"


    "Huh?"


    "Do you know how long I''ve waited for you?" The child ced a hand on her waist and puffed her chest. The girl continued to grumble non-stop for a few minutes. "You never stay here for long. Do you know how rude it is to keep popping in and out? I didn''t even have the time to see you. If it wasn''t for the tree''s help, I would have failed to make you stay for longer!"


    Lory didn''t really understand what the girl was talking about but she waspelled to pacify the little firecracker.


    "Uhm…sorry?" Lory wondered if that was enough to calm the girl down.


    The girl pouted but she eventually stoppedining after she made a ''hump'' gesture at Lory.


    ''What a brat...?'' Lorymented to herself. An awkward silence followed as the girl stopped talking. Lory heaved loudly.


    "So… What do you need?" Lory asked the little girl but the child gave her a nk look.


    "I don''t know…" The child responded without shame. Lory sighed and they both became quiet.


    "Why did you want me toe here?" Lory gave her a kind smile. She neededto bepatient as she was talking to a child.


    The girl sat in front of the tree, "She told me you could help me…"


    "Who?" Lory asked.


    "I don''t know…" The child shrugged.


    Lory scratched and yelled at the child in her head. She told herself to calm down and smiled,"Okay… How do I help you?"


    "I don''t know…" The child replied nonchntly.


    Lory could feel smoke wasing out of her head.


    ''That''s it! Someone call social services now! YOU DAMN BRAT!!!''

    ZhaoLi Xin''s eyeswere trainedon the sleeping pale girl. Herplexion was worsening as she had slept for three days. She wasn''t a cultivator and her body couldn''t live without food or liquids for long. He had moved her to a red crystal bed to help warm her body but her body would still weaken if she failed to get the nutrition she needed. This was what worried him the most.


    ZhaoLiXinmanaged to curb his wild thought to stop himself from falling into madness. He needed his mind to think of a solution. Heheard aboutthe ancient tomb but his people also said the tombwas sealedfrom the inside and the mist surrounding the tombwas filledwith a deadly poison. No one couldst for more than two minutes even with JinHao''sspecial pills.ZhaoLiXinwas at adead end on what to do next.


    He gently caressed her cheeky, happy that her body temperature wasn''t as cold as before. Her face, however, was still pale.


    "Wake up…" He whispered to her and pleaded miserably. "There''s a sweets store that recently opened in the city. Don''t you want to check it out...? I''ll take you there and I''ll buy you all the sweets you like. So please...please…wake up…"


    The hearts of theMongbrothers standing outside the room ached for their lord when they heard this. They wondered why God had been so cruel to their lord. He never had parental love as a child. Everyone around him only knew to hit, kick and spit on him. There was no one to help him, not even his own family. He had lived a lonely, cold, and brutal life. This situation with Miss Luo happened just when he had foundsomeone whomade him happy. How much more did God want him to bear? Did God want their lord to go insane? The chances of the lord going insane if Miss Luo died were high, and they couldn''t stop him because he was too powerful.


    ZhaoLiXinwas in deep thought whenGirshaflew in through the window, gripping a purple flower in his ws. He flew over Lory''s head and ced the flower on her chest. Something incredible suddenly happened. Lory''s chest moved slowly, her pale cheeks became rosy and her breathing became stronger.ZhaoLiXinlooked atGirshain disbelief but quickly understood what the bird was telling him. He left Lory''s side and opened the bedroom door surprising theMongbrothers with the outburst.


    "Go and gather all thebellflowersyou can get. You only have one day to bring it here. GO NOW!"


    MongYi andMongKi didn''t know what happened but it was the first time their lordwas excitedafter Miss Luo lost consciousness and they trusted him. They bowed to hismand and quickly left.


    ZhaoLiXinreturned to Lory''s bedside confident that they won''t fail him. He checked her body andwas relievedto see she looked better. He nced at the beautiful bird nestled beside Lory''s head. The bird wasbrushing against her cheek with worry.


    "Who are you…?"ZhaoLiXinaskedGirsha. The bird tilted his head and looked at him cutely but ignoredZhaoLiXin''squestion. However, Zhao LiXindidn''t care about this as he was grateful for what the bird had done. He held Lory''s warm hands. This was the first time in days that he felt hopeful.


    Hei Shen Sect''s power was vast. A week of travelwaspressedinto one day. Everyone worked withoutint and used the fastest flying beasts. The bluebell flowers were easily transported from theJiangWei Kingdom to theLiangzuKingdom withinZhaoLi Xin''s timeframe.


    ZhaoLiXinwas looking at the newly delivered bluebell flowers in the gardenwhenGirshaflew from behind him, grabbed the flower stalks and nt it in the ground.ZhaoLiXineasily understood the bird and asked everyone to do the same. The whole garden at theXinjingManor was soon covered by bluebellflowers.


    GirshaledZhaoLiXinback to Lory''s room, pecked at Lory''s robes and threwZhaoLiXina meaningful nce. Oddly enough,ZhaoLiXinunderstood him once again. He picked Lory and carried her to the garden withGirshain tow. The birdnded in the middle of the bluebell flowers and pecked the ground.


    JinHaoandBeiLi Yan anxiously headed to the garden when they heard what was happening. Theywere shockedto see the garden filled with a flower that was new to them. They thought their lord had lost his mind when they sawZhaoLiXincarrying Luo Ri Yi onto the flowers.


    ZhaoLiXinced her gently on the ground. He fixed her hair and robes, rose, and took a few backward steps. The purple flowers suddenly glowed around her like antern oneafteranother.


    The scene was so magical that everyone stopped breathing.ZhaoLiXinwas surprised momentarily but calmed as he was kind of expecting this strangeness. Somewhere at the back of his head he always knew she wasn''t ordinary. It was a feeling he had from the moment he met her.


    Purple orbs emerged from the flower and floated above them. This remindedZhaoLiXinof the story of the night and fireflies as the orbs looked like purple fireflies.


    The floating orbs gathered above her, illuminating the garden with purple lights. Everyone had a surreal feeling; it was like they were dreaming. JinHaotried to capture the orbs but they would disappear every time he touched.BeiLi Yan, on the other hand, was speechless as he had never seen anything as beautiful in his entire life. He had met many cultivators but nothing came close to what he was seeing.
