Chapter 381 - Protective Amulet

"This is not what a cultivator could do" her eyelashes flutter above her flickering purple iris and she immersed in deep thought.

"Gifted people?" Bei Li Yan asked excitedly.

Lory tugs her hair bluish hair behind her ear then tilted her head "They are people who can lend the power of the outer world and manipulated the energy around her but of course only the energy who has an affinity with them in my case water" Lory twirl her left finger above the teacup and the pink water twirl between her fingers suddenly she snapped her finger and the water plop to the teacup.

"And wind…" and the cup on her hand suddenly cut to pieces by an invisible blade. Her hand slightly wet because of the tea water "That is the gifted power, cursed and spell are only extended of our natural power" said Lory while Zhao Li Xin helps her to clean her hand with a clean handkerchief.

Bei Li Yan and the others gasped again, another mystery reveal about her and they feel excited and bemused by her power, it was so different with cultivator power.

"That's amazing, I never thought I'm gonna see anything like it! milord do you know about this too right!" Bei Li Yan hit her knees excitedly, being a vermilion king palace his duty is to reveal everyone's secret, and over the years nothing is surprised him anymore but now he cheered like a little boy.

"More or less…" he gives a perfunctorily answer.

"Nothing is amazing, there a limit in my power I need to find all the trinity fragments before I'm able to use all my power" Lory embarrassed by Bei Li Yan reaction, it feel like she was applauded for able counting one to ten.

"Okay back to the cursed again!" Lory having a hard time maintaining the conversation "Qian Mu ting situation has alerted me that probably someone might have the same ability as me, I'm worried about everyone safety now" Lory sigh heavily.

"Is there anything we could do to avoid a cursed?" Zhao Li Xin asks.

Lory rubs her lips while contemplating "Now that you mention it…. there is a way" Lory's eyes lit up in excitement "It can block all medium grade cursed level and few high levels cursed!" she clapped her hand as it feel she was struck by an epiphany.

"So there's a way?" Jin Hao mutters while rubbing his chin.

"Yes! How can I be so stupid!" Lory hit her forehead exasperatedly "There is a way and it didn't use up to much 'mana' either only a few drop blood here and there, a magic circle, a few gemstones, this might be work…" she mutters to herself as she ignores everyone strange stares.

[Girsha!] she called the bird who is perch on the small boulder playing with gr.a.p.e with his small pink beak, he glances at Lory coolly as she rose from her stool and jogged towards him. Lory bend her waist and lean her arms on the boulder and tilted her head [what do you think, can we make protection amulet?] Lory raised her eyebrows playfully.

[We can but you need that boy help to carved the amulet because you only learned the design but not how to made it from scratch and it also need dental work which you suck about it so I think that boy could help you] Girsha remain her, he already used with overly excited Lory when she found a new idea when that happened Girsha would become 'the sound of reason' because Lory sometime can be reckless with her idea.

Because they speak with Harland language the other didn't understand and only watch them with baffled looks, overly curious Bei Li Yan pulling Ming Yue Yin sleeves "Psst…what are they saying?" he whispers at Ming Yue Yin who seem to know better about Lory then there own Lord.

Ming Yue Yin shrugs her shoulder [I don't know, that is Harland language]

[Har…what?] Bei Li Yan lean closer to Ming Yue Yin with a questioning look, Jin Hao and Mong brother also subconsciously lean towards Ming Yue Yin to satisfy their curiosity.

[Harland, is the country she's coming from] Zhao Li Xin suddenly chimed, he feel offended they all asked Ming Yue Yin but not him, he is the husband and he also know a lot about his own princess but there is something bothering him for quite sometimes "How can you know so much about her, is Lory told you?"

"Lory?" Bei Li Yan wonder who is that name is.

Ming Yue Yin ignores Bei Li Yan's question, she shakes her head "No….you remember when I fell in deep slumber before lory wake me up? At that time I was dreaming no….its a vision is like flashed imaged, it feel like you watching an imaged in high speed..." she put down the teacup on the side table as she looks down trying to recall her memories.

"What dream" Zhao Li Xin frowned suspiciously.

"Her life….in that world" he raised her chin towards Lory who have a deep conversation with Girsha.

"What kinda life?" Zhao Li Xin creased got deepen, Lory never says clearly what she had been through but he certain it would be pretty.

Ming Yue Yin drinks the wine from it own flask cause it too much hassle to pour it  on a wine cup, then she let out a long sigh "I can't tell you what had happened because it's not  my place to tell you her personal matters….but I can't tell you this, I stop mopping over my pitiful faith after I know what she had been through…"

"She never told me anything..." Zhao Li Xi Xin fixed his gaze on Lory, and his expression becomes gloomy.

"I believe is not because aunty didn't trust you... I think because is too painful, you know is not easy to talk about painful past and aunty has lost everything…" Ming Yue Yin said with a low voice, she sees lory smiles excitedly with Girsha they seem immersed in fun conversation, Ming Yue Yin smiles bitterly "I don't know how she could find a reason to smiles, kind or even have a heart to care for someone else" she mutters to herself.

Zhao Li Xin stares at Lory with inexplicable expression, Jin Hao and the other also become quiet. All of them had been through painful experience and that's experiences make him cold, bitter, and cruel but that's normal that just how human is when they through great trauma is normal to shut their heart and choose not to feel anything but Lory doesn't like that.

she still kind to other people, selfless and very warmed, she still able to see the best of other peoples even if that person is not worth it, Ming Yue Yin didn't know who else able to do that other than her.

meanwhile, Lory finishes her conversation as she make long strides back towards them with delighted expression but then she feel there's something wrong, why all of them staring at her, Lory halted her pace and subconsciously cover her cheeks with her palms "What. Is because of my face?" she thought they're still not used to with her strange face and her self confidence suddenly took a nosedived

Zhao Li Xin rose from his seat as he walks toward her and embraces her small body "No, you are so beautiful" he whispered on her ear. Lory confuses why their mood especially Zhao Li Xin suddenly drop, is it because the cursed? Are they worry to be inflicted by the cursed"

Lory push Zhao Li Xin lightly "Don't worry I can make a protective amulet but I need your help, you are armament master isn't it so I need you to created an amulet based on my design"

"I'll be glad to help you" Zhao Li Xin cupped her face gently.

"Can I be there to see the process?" Jin Hao who use to be indifferent suddenly plead wholeheartedly.

"Me too!" Bei Li Yan also raised his voice excitedly "Can I watch it too, I won't bother you. I promise!" he sincerely pleads.

"Than I m coming too" Ming Yue Yin raised her hand, she refused to be left out.

"Can we go too…." Mong Ki who use to be quiet unexpectedly join in. Mong Yi also stares at Lory with pleading eyes.

Zhao Li Xin glare at them from disturbing her but this time they don't want to back down, this is one a lifetime experience and they will do anything to be part of it or they wouldn't able sleep for weeks if they missed the chance.

Lory feel glad they did not just accept the 'real' her but even interested to know more about her power, they all trust her and treat her the same so how can she reject them, is not a big deal after all.

"Sure, why not" Lory smiles brightly.

If Lory allowed them than Zhao Li Xin can't stop them so they cheer inside their head and secretly in relief, Ming Yue Yin happy Lory have more person to share her secret, Ming Yue Yin hopes little by little Lory would feel the same attachment to this world just like her old world and one day Lory will feel to be one of them and not just live with them.

"Oh, by the way…" Ming Yue Yin rest both her hands on her waist "Where do you want to live?" as they look to the black smoked coming from Zhao Li Xin living quarters and the guest room also wrecked and stain by blood.
