After too much excitement and come home after midnight Lory was sleeping until noon, too much sleeping make her dizzy when she got up, thankfully the room have scree divider so the sunlight didn't directly shine on her face, Lory yawn while rubbing her eyes, Lory still feel tired so she huddled inside the blanket she stretches her arms and make light moans before she got up from the bed.

she lifts the curtains and there she found Zhao Li Xin sits leisurely on the small table near her bed, he drinks his wine and reading some thick book. ​​

"You awake and it's right before lunch..." he put down the book on the table.

Lory leans her head on the headboard "What are you reading?" she asked wit hoarse voice.

"A poetry collection by Hu Bang, you want to read?" he lifts his book to show her.

Lory make weak smiles "Not if I want to awake" Lory blink her eyes a few times to get rid of her sleepiness "I'll take a bath first" Lory got up from the bed but suddenly she halts "If anyone already prepares my bath?" she forgot how much hassle just to get a bath in this world.

"They already prepare your bath for an hour ago, don't worry with a fire crystal tub the water won't get cold," said Zhao Li Xin with a proud smile.

Lory frowned, she knew fire crystal is used to created fire, it's like matches she doesn't know it can be used for something else and if she remembers rights crystal is an expensive material even for the low grade it's still quite expensive but Zhao Li Xin make crystal as a bathtub, how much crystal he used, how big the tub and how much it cost to build the tub?

"You make a bathtub from the fire crystal?" she gasped "Isn't that a waste of money?" lory said with worry looks.

Zhao Li Xin calmly sips his wine then he said "You like taking bath every day, so it's not a waste," he said without a sign of trouble at all "Just take a look and tell me what do you think?" he smiles at her as if it was nothing.

Lory wants to say something but she feel it would be useless so she sighs and leaves the room. The bathroom Zhao Li Xin created for her is not too far from her bedroom maybe because he heard when Lory carelessly complain about the bathroom too far away for her room, she only needs ten steps to reach the bathroom, two middle-age female maids opens the door for Lory to enter, Lory nods her head to greet them.

When she entered the bathroom the wooden bathtub was replaced by transparent red crystal tub 'talk about luxurious bath' Lory shakes her head with an astonished expression, she doesn't know if her Fater would be happy or upset if he knew how much Zhao Li Xin pampered her.

The water is quite hot she could see smoke steam came out of the tub is just like soaking in the hot spring, the tub not only filled with water but the maid also adding fragrant oil and fresh petal flower, Lory make a long sigh when she dipped her body inside the tub.

[someone lives like royalty] suddenly Girsha appears, he perches on the side of the tube.

[Hey, what's that supposed to mean, it's not like I never did this at cestine palace] Lory said while her eyes remain close.

[When? you might only do this once a year, you stay in boarding school if not you will stay in a wilderness or cheap hostel when you have the time to do this?] Girsha roll his eyes in ridicule.

Lory's mouth twitch a little, when she thinks back again she does never pampered herself like this often, she has a tight schedule she even not have enough sleep sometimes, ironically Lory starts living like a pampered Princess when she lived with Zhao Li Xin.

[hey, let me see the marks] Girsha suddenly ask.

[What's wrong?] Lory straighten her back and shift her hair to the side, Girsha jump behind her. his green eyes watch the black snakes who only a few centimeters below her nape.

[It's fainter than before...] Girsha muttered.

[I know, I could feel my power slowly return to me] Lory takes a deep breath then she shifts her gaze to Girsha [How many fragments do you that we need to gather?]

[Judged by your power, I think we still need to gather more of them] Lory power still not reach half her old power.

Lory let out a long heaved than she leans her back again [I hope we still have enough time, Arthea words make me feel worried, have you seen her lately?]

[No, she hadn't shown herself....oh well, when it come to Seeress, no news is good news] Girsha nestles himself on the warm towel on the stool next to Lory bathtub.

[Yeah, you right ] Lory closes her eyes again and leans her head on the tub.

When Lory finish taking a bath she returns to her bedroom with Zhao Li Xin waiting for her on the couch, he sits on the lotus position while closing his eyes, he seems like he was meditating, Lory didn't bother him, she walks behind the screen divider and changed her clothes, she got out while drying her hair with towel then she sits in front of the dresser.

Zhao Li Xin opens his eyes slowly then he walks towards her "Let me help you" he took the towel from her hand and gently strokes her hair "You like the tub?" he asked.

"I love it"Lory replied with sweet smiles. Zhao Li Xin smile in satisfaction.

"Is there any news from Sacred Mountain Peak? we hurt they're holy Lady, taking her divined sword and almost killed their third young master, I don't think they would lay down and accept it, isn't it?"

"No they would," he said casually while his eyes fixed on her hair.

"What do you think they would do?" Lory's eyebrows creased, Sacred Mountain Peak looks tougher than the Lu clan, she wonders what would they do and she's worried for Zhao Li Xin safety.

"Nothing that I can't handle" he finishes drying her hair, because he used his qi a little bit Lory hair could drying faster, because of him she never needs a hairdryer.

Someone suddenly knocked on her door "Milord Second Princess Liu Yan Kingdom wants to meet with Miss Luo, should we let her?" Mong Yi speaks from behind the door, Lory could feel his annoyance in his tones.

"Annoying, tell her to leave" Zhao Li Xin feel upset everyone disturbs his sweet time with his Princess.

Lory grab Zhao Li Xin sleeve "Wait, let's not make unnecessary trouble, let see what she want, she is a Princess so we need to give her some face isn't it"

Zhao Li Xin clicked his tongues in annoyance "Whatever you said then..."
