She clenched and released her hand and his right her hand feels numb, she raised her eyebrows towards him he smiles at her "A mere ointment for speed healing but if you smear on the skin it would make you feel numb" he said casually.

Lorry shift her eyes to indifferent Jin Hao who seem didn't care his owned creation drugs called as a "mere ointment' ​​

"Okay then" Lory take her dagger again then slowly she slit her palm, a deep crimson color fluid dripping from her o the bowl below her hand, this time the blood dripping faster, Zhao Li Xin breathing become heavy watching her bleeding although he knows she wouldn't feel hurt but still it's disturbed him.

In didn't take too much blood to create blood rune around the box, not like the giant ancestor crystal the box is not that big so after all the bottom of the bowl cover Lory stop especially when a certain Lord eyeing on her hand.

"Okay, it's enough!" Lory said before she can more Zhao Li Xin immediately clean her wound and smear her wound with the same ointment then bind it with clean gauze, Lory let him do everything without complaining she knew this also his way to calm himself.

Less then a minute her wound is bound neatly, then she borrow a small brush then star to created circle on the table around the wooden box, she begins to write weird symbol inside the circle, then she created another small circle inside the circle and another symbol then she ends it withdrawing triangle inside the inner circle.

Jin Hao watches everything with great interest, actually he didn't care where is Lory come from for all he knows Lory character is too mild for people in this world to the point sometimes it make him worried luckily she also smart and wise so she would not be taken advantages of, Jin Hao is born curious by nature for knowledged he would go as far as he could one of the reason he agreed to become King palace because it gives him unlimited resource for whatever he research is and how this happened…..wow could he not be thrilled.

"This….what is this symbol mean?" Jin Hao's eyes glint with excitement is the first time Lory sees it.

"Depend on how you want to see it" Lory smiles, she don't mind to share a little if not she afraid this man will die from curiosity "The symbol has two ways to read and it can be mean two opposite mean like dark and light, big and small, strength and weakness" she points at few symbols "The circle would bind them all and the triangle is to connect them all"

Jin Hao look mesmerize his expression is like a young diligent student who listens to his teacher, Lory glad Jin hao didn't fear or suspicious about her.

"Now move away I need to activate this symbol" Lory shoo him with her hand.

Jin Hao didn't offend on contrary he got even more excited, he takes a few steps back.

Lory raised both her hand she began to chant in a foreign language, Jin Hao and Zhao Li Xin watch it from aside the table even the weak Li Mo Zhen got up from his bed forcing himself to watch the scene, and it is one a lifetime experience.

After she finishes chanting then slowly she put her both hand on the table [Activated!]

The blood glowing in red gradually the color of red light changed to purple light. The whole room illuminated by bright purple light but only for two seconds before the light suddenly disappear, the other looks at each other with amazement but Lory's face remains calmed and Zhao Li Xin eyes remain on her.

Then she opens the box only then Li Mo Zhen can see a black fog coming from inside the box, the circle light lit again with dimmed light and the black fog suck by the light only then Lory can see a black swords lay inside the box.

"Black sword?" Lory frowned.

Li Mo Zhen also shocked "Is not black when I found it, it's supposed to be white, all white from top to the bottom" he confuses how the white sword become black as charcoal is his eyes play a trick on him, that can't be isn't it, is the blind?

Lory hand float above the black sword "Resentment….the sword is absorbed resentment" Lory mutter.

"I know weapon can absorbed the owner Qi or enhanced the owner power but absorbing feeling? That….new" as armament master Zhao Li Xin can't hide his curiosity.

"That because this sword has something who does not belong to this world…" Lory said calmly.

"Where is it come from?" Jin Hao asked his eyed fix on the sword he can feel an eerie feeling from the sword.

"Mine…." Lory let out bittersweet smiles, she doesn't know should she be happy or sad, she grab the sword handle then she lift the sword upwards "Old friend….." she smiles faintly.

"You knew this sword?" Li Mo Zhen stunned

Lory put the sword back on the box "A part of it…." she said with mysterious smiles "The good news is, the cursed is not so bad"

Li Mo Zhen bewildered, how could she say it is not that bad? Didn't she saw what that thing did to him?

"I said 'not so bad' because it didn't mean to harm you at least not deliberately, this thing is actually crying for help.." Lory tilt her head she falls in deep thought then a second later she continues

"The bad news is, the cursed is moving from one receiver to another, meaning after you die the curse would be pass to the other person who had contact with the sword"

"WHAT!" the whole room scream at the same time.

"The elder and Xi Ying…." Li Mo Zhen gasped.

"You had touched the sword" Zhao Li Xin shout at Lory again, today he had been scolded her the whole day, how sad...

'Where is my gentle boyfriend?'

Lory waves her hand "Calm down, as long you breathing the other would be fine and You…" she stares at Zhao Li Xin "I immuned of this cursed so I'll be fine" she calms him down she had a feeling she would be in a house arrest for month after all this done.

"You sure?" Zhao Li Xin squints his eyes on her.

Lory nod her head "Yes!"

"You not lie to me again?" He glares at her.

"Of course not!" she nodded her head profusely like a woodpecker bird.

Jin Hao rubbed his chin "How could you be immuned by it?" he innocently asked.

Lory smile become stiffed 'You should ask, don't you!'

The reason she immuned by the cursed is because she already cursed by something far more worst, so the low level cursed from the sword cannot affect her god-level cursed well at least that the bright side having the Lazarus mark, Lory cannot tell Zhao Li Xin about this, how could she? This is the man who make a fuss over a simple cut if he knew about this thing inside of her, she even afraid to imagined what would he do.

Lory maintains her smile as normal as she could "That…..because…I'm special" she smiles sweetly at Jin Hao.

"Huh…..is that so…" Jin Hao nods his head.

"Okay, we need to know more" Lory swiftly shift the attention back to the sword again.

"What would you do?" Jin Hao glowing with excitement again.

"Just listen the echoes…" she put her hand on the sword, suddenly the ambience inside the room change the wind twirl around her, just like that a surged of wave coming to her inside her mind she sees a broken piece mirror float in front of her and one by one the mirror broken into pieces she feel like watching a cut scene and hit with the glass at the same time, the voice of people talking and glass breaking is overlapping Lory have heart time to listen.

Then she retracts her hand off the swords, her head is aching and her feet become soft she almost faint but Zhao Li Xin catches her before she falls.

"Are you okay? Talk to me!" Zhao Li Xin rubbed her cheek gently.

Lory still half-dazed "I'm fine…" she said weakly.

"Put her on the bed!" said Li Mo Zhen who got up from the bed an hour ago.

Normally he would not let her sleep on another man bed's but who cares? This time is an emergency!

Lory feel the soft surface on her back she realizes Zhao Li Xin put her on the bed, she feels guilty because Li Mo Zhen condition is weaker than her, why everyone so frantic? It just a mild headache though.

Jin Hao quickly pour a warmed tea for her, while Zhao Li Xin make her lay down and cover her with blanket as if she would be dying, Jin Hao make her sit to drink first, Li mo Zhen watching her with worried, Lory suddenly become headache for a different reason, on the other hand, Girsha laughing at her his wing hitting the table repeatedly, it's always hilarious when everyone treats her like a frail flower.

"Calmed down everyone…..this is normal…." Lory wishes they relaxed a little.

"NORMAL?" Zhao Li Xin's word becomes sharp.

"No, I mean I'm used to…." Lory smiles become stiffed.

"You, USED TO?" he just got more agitated.

Lory tries to lighten the mood "I mean, is because my condition is not suitable so…"

"You knew but you still did it anyway!" Zhao Li Xin hated how little she cherish herself, is she not satisfied until she kills herself! If only he knew how right he is….

Lory clamps her mouth 'Okay, I'm shut up right now!'
