In the Meantime, Mo Ning Yuan and her subordinates used all their power to catch up with Girsha but this time they do not act recklessly after they realize how strong Girsha is, Mo Ning Yuan rub her chest to ease the pressure feeling on it. even after she taken high-grade recovery pill the pain in her chest still not completely gone, she curious what kinda beast it's that and more important is who owned it.

Under the tree a woman sitting on the flat stone and a beautiful bird nestle comfortably on her lap, the girl bounces something with her hand up and down in a playful manner. Mo Ning Yuan eyes bulged widely as she caught the sight of the familiar bird and the golden lotus statue on the woman's hand that her face she recognizes very well, her face grimace then she dashes toward the woman.

​​

"Oh, hello" she greets Mo Ning Yuan and her subordinated nonchalantly.

"You!" Mo Ning Yuan points her hand as her eyes grew widened in disbelieved and shocked "You...you are Lu Xin's wife?"

Mo Ning Yuan subordinated also as shocked as his mistress, the information he got the woman is only an ordinary woman with unimpressive background and had zero cultivation so he never pays attention to her too much, but the bird on her lap is the bird that killed his mistress high-level beast and injured his mistress badly, someone who has no cultivation whatsoever couldn't have a powerful Beast like that bird, WHO IS SHE?

Lory smiles cunningly "The one and only~" she stops playing with the golden lotus as she tightens the grip on the statue, she notices Mo Ning Yuan eyeing the golden lotus statue like a fat kid eying candy.

Mo Ning Yuan wants to snatch the statue from her hand but then the birds head raised, the bird green eyes glint as he fixed his gaze on Mo Ning Yuan as if she was prey, Mo Ning Yuan body becomes stiff, she unconsciously gulped then take a step backward "That bird, is it yours?" she said warily.

"This old fella?" Lory points her finger at Girsha jokingly then she chuckles lightly "He is…his name is Girsha" Lory said gently like someone introduces her pet to her friend, her friendly behavior only irked Mo Ning Yuan.

"Your bird stealing my mistress item, you should give it back when we still polite!" Mo Ning Yuan subordinated scowl as he pointed angrily at Girsha.

"Stealing?" Lory pressed her chest as she pretends to be shocked but then she giggles softly, her giggle is clear like a small bell in the summer "Aren't you steal this thing from Nan Yu Qi.....oh wait is not just stealing wasn't it…..oh yes, you robbed her, in a broad daylight" Lory shakes her head, she looks at Mo Ning Yuan with shocked and disgust expression "I wonder what the Nan family think about this, forget what they would do about you…what would they do to your family, but I think you don't care" Lory shrug then she let out a long sigh.

Mo Ning yuan expression change from white to red, she didn't know how the useless Lu Xin wife knows so much about her.

"Who are you?" Mo Ning Yuan agitated as her heartbeat increasing, something not right about this woman.

"I'm just someone wife, a nobody….just ordinary woman" Lory smiles sweetly and her eyes turn to crescent, her nonchalant only enraged Mo Ning Yuan further. Only an idiot who will believe that woman's words.

"I can hurt Nan Yu Qi for that statue, what would you think I would do to you? return that golden Lotus to me and I will let you go, I will consider my relationship with your husband and I promised I will not hurt you, but of course, as long you obey me" Mo Ning Yuan raised her chin arrogantly, she implies she has an ambiguous relationship with Zhao Li Xin.

"Let me go? Obey you?" Lory stare at Mo Ning Yuan with mocking eyes "Dear miss Mo, you asking too much from me?" she opens her arms helplessly.

"And about your relationship with my husband, please don't lie to me or to yourself…..my husband disdained you moreover he disgusted by you, you know he always takes a long hot bath whenever she returns after he meeting you" Lory smiles wickedly.

Her words torn Mo Ning yuan heart more than she expected, her face drains from color, she bites her lips until it slightly bleeds, she looks at Lory with bloodshot eyes "How dare you!" she roar.

"NO!" Lory raised from her seat, she glares at Mo Ning Yuan coldly "How dare you coveting my husband, do you think I'm dead! I will never give anything for you, not my husband or this….measly statue, W*RE!" Lory last words hit Mo Ning Yuan heart like a wrecking ball, she knew what she is right now, a dirty woman, she had been ruined since a young age, she knew she is a woman who has no value she's not even worthy to be someone bedwarmer, she knew that but she never dare to admit it and no one ever says it to her face.

"YOU!" Mo Ning Yuan subordinated got furious he wants to strike Lory but Mo Ning Yuan abruptly stops him.

"Did Lu Xin involved with this?" Mo Ning Yuan doesn't know why she asked this, maybe she hope that man didn't deliberately lie to her, such a foolish wish does she know.

Lory averts her gaze from Mo Ning Yuan as if in guilt "it got nothing to do with you?" she obviously upset by Mo Ning Yuan's question.

Mo Ning Yuan believes that Lu Xin didn't know what his wife done behind his back and all this time this woman must be pretending to be weak and helpless to gain her husband sympathy when Mo Ning Yuan remember Lu Xin protective towards his wife Mo Ning Yuan feel irritated, but now she realizes Lu Xin wife might lie to him and perhaps her behavior would disappoint Lu Xin, Mo Ning Yuan heart suddenly feel better.

"So, Lu Xin didn't know about this?" Mo Ning Yuan sneer "I don't know what are you hiding from him but I guessed he will not be pleased"

"Shut up!"Lory snarls at her.

Mo Ning Yuan chuckles, Lory anger satisfied her "I don't know who told you to steal that golden statue but I tell you this, that statue is useless in your hand but if you cooperated with me….perhaps we can make a deal" she slowly persuaded Lory, although Mo Ning Yuan and her subordinated had no problem to get rid Lory, but the bird who perches on Lory's shoulder is not something they can take lightly.

Mo Ning Yuan can't detect the beast level she can feel the beast flowing Qi if not because that bird is attacked her before she wouldn't know that pretty bird could be that strong so she has no choice but persuaded that woman to return the statue to her.

"What you have in mind?" Lory crosses her arms on her chest.

Notices the woman in front of her waver Mo Ning Yuan elated but her face reminds calm "What do you know about that statue?" she probes how much Lory knows.

Lory pursed her lips, she becomes quiet for a moment then she said: "I know is a key to a treasure under the forbidden library but I also know that this is not the only key wasn't it, you need more to open the treasure vault?" Lory smirked.

Mo Ning Yuan relief that Lory didn't know about the slumbering beast beneath the library "So you know…you right, you need other key and I have it"

"Hmph, your keys are useless without my key?" Lory scoffed.

"And your key useless without mine" Mo Ning Yuan retort "So what do you think, I don't know who order you to find the key but it's better to use it for yourself than give it to other people?" her voice as sweet as honey she sure Lory is a same like everyone else why give benefit for other when you can take more for yourself.

"How many keys you have?" Lory narrowed her eyes.

"All of it, except yours…" said Mo Ning yuan in a mellow voice.

"Isn't that make my key more valuable?" Lory grin widely and greed apparent on her face.

"Of course" Mo Ning Yuan shrug, she becomes more relaxed after she is able to persuade her.

"Take to the vault and we divided everything fifty-fifty, what do you say?" Lory raised her brows.

"I don't mind…half is better than nothing" Mo Ning Yuan seems to comply with Lory's idea.

"So, shall we? We don't want to get caught with Nan Yu Qi people aren't we?" Lory said nonchalantly.

"Follow me then.." Mo Ning Yuan stifles then she turns around and left. Her subordinated snort in disdained then he follows his mistress, he gets close to Mo Ning Yuan and whispers "Young Miss…" he anxiously try to warn Mo Ning Yuan.

"We get rid of here when we get the key," she said quietly and her eyes brimmed with malice.

"But that Beast...."

Mo Ning Yuan shoves a jade bottle "Used this to poison the Beast..."

"Miss, this is the pulverize bone powder!" he gasped, this type of poison is not easy to get his only guessed that Lao Min Na is the one who sends the poison to his mistress.

"Be quiet! used this when we enter the library" she glared at her subordinated

"I'm sorry, Yes young miss!" he nods his head excitedly, they are not scared Lory would listen to their conversation because she had no cultivation but they forgot about Girsha.

Lory follows them from behind while Girsha perch on her shoulder. She looks behind her and dozens of black shadow moves in sequences. Lory smiles faintly then she follow Mo Ning Yuan from behind.

[You think is going to be fun Lory?]

[I don't know but I bet it won't be boring]

[Good….]
