The Princess And The Lord-Chapter 1393: The First Road Trip III
Chapter 1393: The First Road Trip III
In the morning Fargo and Leon were preparing for their trip, Fargo gathered information and prepared fake documents for their preparation to Dolza at the same time Leon decided to buy a speed boat considering their rough journey ahead he was almost certain that the speed boat would not return in good condition even more, return at all.
Therefore, rather than bothering to give compensation, it would be better for him to just buy the speedboat.
Zhao Li Xin had changed into a heat-resistant combat suit that he got from Fargo. It was said that the suit could withstand even the most extreme temperatures; even if it is soaked in a lava pool, the suit will not be damaged at all. The suit was also equipped with body armor to withstand strong attacks from both blunt and sharp objects.
In addition, Zhao Li Xin was given a long coat that was charmed with a camouflage spell so that the wild beasts would not immediately notice their presence.
From a glance it was clear that this was the best suit Zhao Li Xin had ever had since he came to this world and as suspected this battle costume was specially made by Bellerophone for Zhao Li Xin based on Lory’s request and after it was finished they sent the suit to Fargo an arived just a few days ago.
Furthermore, the sword prepared for Zhao Li Xin was not inferior to the weapons made by the armament masters in the cultivator world, although it still fell in comparison with the Crimson Lightning sword or some high-level weapons made by Zhao Li Xin himself.
Zhao Li Xin tied his hair into a ponytail, the truth is he wanted to cut it because most men in this world had short hair so he felt that her long hair made him stand out like sore thumb, but remembering Lory repeatedly reminding him not to cut her hair, Zhao Li Xin could only give up on his plan.
’Nngh...’ A soft groan came from the bed, and soon after, a small smile spread across Zhao Li Xin’s face.
He took a glass of water and handed it to Lory and sit next to her, [How is your body?]
Lory took a big gulp, then threw a reproachful look at Zhao Li Xin [What do you think?]
If it weren’t for her being able to heal the embarrassing marks on her neck, Lory would have to wear a turtleneck for a week not tomenton endure Fargo’s knowing look during the whole trip.
Zhao Li Xin chuckled and rubbed the top of Lory’s head lovingly [Sorry, I went too far last night...] He really felt bad but what could he do when he had no self control when it comes to her.
[You always say that, but you never mean it!] Lory snorted.
[Fine if you’re angry, I’ll let you do whatever you want to me. How about that?] The corner of his lips curls upward into a charming yet suggestive smile.
[...] Lory felt she had just shot herself in the foot.
Zhao Li Xin was amused seeing Lory pouting her lips like an angry squirrel, unfortunately they did not have time to play around because today is the day they have to go to separate way again.
The realization hit her like a boulder pressing down on his chest, soon a wave of sadness hit her afterward she fell silent.
[What’s wrong, wife?] Zhao Li Xin noticed her sullen mood.
Lory rubbed her cheeks then spoke in an aggrieved tone, [We’re gonna separate again...I know this is a necessary move, but still...]
[I know how you feel, don’t worry, when I’m done, I will catch up with you very soon, so don’t be sad, okay.] He cheered her up.
Lory didn’t know why he whined like a spoiled girl in front of Zhao Li Xin when she knew they both had important things to do.
Lory rest her forehead at Zhao Li Xin’s chest [no, I’m just joking ... don’t go to Wellington, the capital of Dolza is too dangerous so don’t take any risks for me, besides I will be fine with Fargo and soon I will join Uncle Stephan as well, therefore you got nothing to worry about me "
[No one else but you would think there is a place that is too dangerous for me...] Zhao Li Xin responded facetiously when Lory showed her concern.
Sometimes he wondered if Lory forgot what kind of life he had been through before he met her, even more, Zhao Li Xin did not believed the ’big mouth’ Mong Yi and Bei Li Yan did not gossip about his past, yet Lory still treat him as if someone need her protection. Well, he had no complaint, though.
[I’m serious, Li Xin!] Lory’s brows furrow as she tries to make him comply.
[I know - I know, go change your clothes, Everyone is waiting] he brushed it off without denying or agreeing.
Lory’s face turned panicked when she saw the clock on the wall, [Oh. My God, I’m late!] She threw off her blanket and ran to the bathroom in a hurry.
Zhao Li Xin laughed as he watched Lory flee to the bathroom as if she were chased by a ghost. After a while, Zhao Li Xin looked around the messy room and realized he could not stand it.
Therefore, before he left, he first tidied up the room, and after he finished, Zhao Li Xin headed downstairs.
He too found Leon and Fargo in the kitchen, Leon was reading news on his cellphone while Fargo cleaned the dining table. Once Zhao Li Xin entered the kitchen, they simultaneously lifted their head.
"Is her higness awake already?" Leon asked.
"She’s taking a shower," Zhao Li Xin replied.
Fargo then came with a cup of coffee then offered Zhao Li Xin, "I had made you and Lory a sandwich, I don’t know if it suits your taste, by the way, would you like a cup of coffee or something?"
"I want coffee!" Leon raised his hand, then answered with a loud grunt from Fargo.
Zhao Li Xin thought for a moment, then asked, "Do you have Soda?"
"Yes, but do you think it’s good to drink soda first thing in the morning?" Fargo expressed his concerns, but still took a soda can of soda from the fridge and handed it to Zhao Li Xin.
Zhao Li Xin’s smile widened, he seemed cannot wait to enjoy his first soda after months. But he had to finish it before Lory came because if she knew he coughed again after drinking soda, Lory would scold him again for being weirdly stubborn.
Zhao Li Xin slips his index finger under the end of the tab at the top of the can, then slowly pulls the seal open. A second later, the exhilarating fizzle sounds fill the room, Zhao Li Xin’s eyes glint with excitement, the challenge is on!
Fargo and Leon sat quietly drinking their coffee while watching Zhao Li Xin with an intense look. This was the first time they saw Zhao Li Xin showing some human reactions without Lory’s presence, but they did not understand what was so good about this carbonated water.
Regardless, it was clear that this carbonated water piqued Zhao Li Xin’s interest very much.
’They truly match made in heaven, both of them are so weird’
Zhao Li Xin is slowly sipping, and everyone watched with a look full of anticipation, then a few seconds later ... freewebnoveℓ.com
’Cough - cough - COUGH!’ Zhao Li Xin coughed incessantly, his whole body trembled, and his eyes turned watery, still he didn’t stop.
"Hey - hey - hey, are you okay, buddy?" Fargo patted Zhao Li Xin’s back worriedly.
Confused, Leon took the soda can and checked the label, then realized the soda contained more carbonation than normal soda, but still...
"Um, this red label Poko-Poko Pop got more carbonation than the normal Poko-Poko Pop. You might not be used to it, my grand nephew can’t take it either." Leon tried to save Zhao Li Xin from the embarrassment
But the insensitive Fargo nonchalantly asks, "Your grandnephew? Isn’t he five years old now?"
Leon shoots a dagger at Fargo "...."
While Zhao Li Xin had a strange determination in his eyes.
Fargo was perplexed, not knowing what he had done wrong.
A moment after, they heard Lory shout from the second floor, "Li Xin, are you drinking soda again? I told you to stop drinking that, IT’S NOT GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH ANYWAY!!"
The three men downstairs were jolting from their chairs. Zhao Li Xin immediately put down his soda while Fargo quickly threw the can into the trash, and Leon immediately replied, "We already threw it away, Your Highness!"
Zhao Li Xin looks dejectedly toward the trash bin.
Feeling sorry for him, Fargo patted Zhao Li Xin’s shoulder, "Don’t worry, buddy, when we get back, I’ll bring you to a place that serves all kinds of soda, and guess what? They give you a free refill so you can drink as much as you want. What do you think, just you and me buddy?" Fargo waggled his brows.
Zhao Li Xin hesitated for a moment but then gave a faint nod, "I will be in your care ..."
"Leave it to me!" Fargo hit Zhao Li Xin’s shoulder and laughed heartily.
Meanwhile, Leon watched everything, then chided, "I know you are a bad influence."
Lory had no idea his strong husband, who never wavered in front of any temptation, had completely fallen from grace because of Fargo’s seduction, such an insolence if Lory knew she would have beaten him to the pulp
After a small commotion in the morning, Lory and Zhao Li Xin reluctantly parted ways. After giving some reminders to Leon and Zhao Li Xin, doing the same to Fargo, Lory finally got into the car and left.
Lory looked back a few times after she couldn’t see Zhao Li Xin’s figure, then her shoulders slumped weakly, and she let out a long sigh.
From the corner of his eye, Fargo could see that Lory was in a sour mood, so he comforted her by saying, "After this is over, how about you take a long trip with your husband?"
"En, we will," Lory mutters.
At the same time, Zhao Li Xin stared at the lory bird until it disappeared into the distance. Once the bird completely disappeared, the light in Zhao Li Xin’s eyes dimmed significantly, just like the night sky without the stars or moon.
He lifted the hood of his coat to cover his face, then he turned his head to Leon. "Shall we go?"
For a moment, Leon was surprised by the cold tone in Zhao Li Xin’s voice, but his expression remained the same without hostility, impatience, or excitement like the surface of a winter lake, calm and cold.
However, Leon didn’t find it strange because when it came to love, Lucients tended to be completely devoted to their partners, so it was good to know the feeling was reciprocated, but in some situations is not always the case.
"Let’s go, we’d better arrive on the island before dawn." Leon left, followed by Zhao Li Xin.
