Chapter 1103: Once AgainTranslator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang never bothered themselves about matters of the Great Land. The Bai Family didn"t have a large population and the twins didn"t have to worry since Madam Yan was still there. However, Jiang Qiling was another story because she was the Family Patriarch.
Though Jiang Qiling didn"t like to worry about the Jiang Family, she could receive certain news. She had heard something about the unowned land.
She winked at Lu Li but didn"t say anything. Being clever, Lu Li seemed to have understood something. He asked, “Clarify what is unowned land.”
“Young Master, you don"t know?”
Lu Guangting was a bit surprised but didn"t ask too many questions. He told Lu Li about the notices posted by the Demon-slaying Hall and added, “Now, many families are fighting over the unowned land. There are battles everywhere. Many patriarchs of the four major families are secretly supporting forces respectively. They are not trying to take control or anything, only some benefits. Besides… a secret control of those emerging forces can eliminate any potential chaos. Young Master Li, Zhao Family is not asking me to help them win. I am only expected to come out when other families come to suppress them so that they won"t be crushed by the other three major families. Of course… I did do wrong, this time. Young Master Li, I am sorry.”
Lu Guangting was clever. He did defend himself for a bit but the major part was a complete admission of his mistakes and acted as if he was willing to accept any punishment from Lu Li.
Lu Li"s wrath quieted down. His anger stemmed from the fact that he didn"t know about the unowned land. He thought the patriarchs of the Lu Family was a.s.sisting a family to fight against another family for no reason at all just to gain some interests.
Since it was Patriarch of Law Enforcement that issued this notice, Lu Li didn"t have such strong feelings anymore. Upon careful deliberation, Lu Li understood Patriarch of Law Enforcement"s intention. Patriarch of Law Enforcement was laying a foundation for the Lu Family so that the family could always feel the sense of danger and challenge—to bring some vitality to the Heaven Reverse Universe.
Thinking of the unowned land, Lu Li remembered the Asmodians, Feather Race, Barbarian Race and the Voodoo Race. Back in the days, Emperor of Heaven Reverse could wipe out the four races but didn"t do so. That was to impose some pressure to the human race so that humans could constantly strive to become stronger and develop.
Since the battle was within reason, Lu Li would not blame Lu Guangting for giving support to the Zhao Family secretly.
One should not demand absolute purity. Lu Li understood this point. When a family was big, there could be some degenerating ones. Lu Li wouldn"t mind as long as the Lu Family"s roots were unharmed and major crimes were not committed, unless someone like Lu Zhantian had offended the ones close to him.
As for the fact that Lu Guangyuan had offended him, Lu Li didn"t mind. A man should adopt corresponding mindset when one was at a certain position. If Lu Li were a narrow-minded person, he wouldn"t accomplish such achievements.
On second thought, Lu Li decided to give Lu Guangting a warning in case the patriarchs and deacons would be up to monkey business. Lu Li said, coldly, “Go back to Great Grandpa Five and ask him to punish you as fit. Let Great Grandpa Five know that I agree with the practice of unowned land. But I advise the four major families against intervening. Tell Great Grandpa Five to execute anyone that intervenes! Also… you can fight over the unowned land, but no civilian can be hurt. Anyone that violates this rule will see the destruction of his or her entire family!”
“Yes!”
Lu Guangting bowed with respect and left, quite relieved. Lu Li didn"t punish him directly. Lu Guangting would be punished when he went back to the family but he could still save his position as a patriarch.
“Time to go!”
Now that the matter was clarified, he didn"t want to meddle further. He wouldn"t mind no matter how many souls were to perish at this unowned land.
Demon-slaying Hall had issued an announcement. A small family without enough powers should not stay at the unowned land or just surrender to a major family. How could anyone wanted to gain without pain? There was no such thing in the world.
Besides, it was the warriors that were dying in battles. The path for a warrior was riddled with risks. If one wanted to change fate, one shall not be afraid of death and must be prepared for potential death.
Murderers must be prepared for his own death. That was the truth.
Lu Li left with his three wives. It was not a pretty scene when killings were underway. This time, Lu Li was on a sightseeing tour with his three wives, not to witness executions.
He and his three wives flew toward the south. After several rounds of teleportation, they arrived at the Ocean Plains. Lu Li had never been here before, and neither had Jiang Qiling and the twins. It was said that some special races were the residents here. It was quite an exotic land.
As they were told, the views were quite different from those at the Central Plains. The weather at the Ocean Plains was particularly warm. There would be occasional thunderstorms, quite different from the Central Plains.
The four came to an island. A tribe was settled here and the people there were quite generous and welcoming. Though Lu Li and the three were outsiders and they didn"t seem to be from anywhere in the Oceans Land, the people in the tribe were still very warm to them.
The young girls were quite pa.s.sionate when they were looking at Lu Li and the boys here were obsessed with Jiang Qiling and the twins. After all, the love of beauty was in human nature.
Lu Li built a cabin by the ocean outside the tribe. He gave some Xuan Crystals to the tribe leader here because he planned to settle down here for a couple of months to study the Map of Fundamental Principle.
They resumed their previous way of relaxing. In the day, Bia Xiashuang would sail out for fun and to catch some fish and seafood. Bai Qiuxue would cook and Jiang Qiling would offer help while Lu Li was in charge of eating. At dusk, the four of them would walk along the ocean. They watched as the sun set and at night, they would sleep in each other"s arms. It was the most ideal days.
The only thing that bothered Lu Li was the integration of the diagrams!
They had been living on the island for three months and yet Lu Li was getting nowhere. He knew he could not rush into anything, but he was worried nonetheless.
While Lu Li was concerned about the line diagram, Jiang Qiling, Bai Xiashuang and Bai Qiuxue were worried about their bodies. It had been a year since they started this tour. Every day or two, one of them would bed with Lu Li and sometimes, they would abandon their shyness and bed with Lu Li together. However, there was no indication that they were going to get pregnant…
If it were not for the fact that Lu Li insisted against accepting concubines, the three of them would try to set Lu Li up with another girl to find out whether this problem was on Lu Li or them.
Some quite beautiful girls lived on the island were developing an interest toward Lu Li. After all, Lu Li was the leader of the Heaven Reverse Universe. He was charming. Inevitably, girls of such small tribes would be intrigued.
On several occasions, some beasts invaded the island and Lu Li handled it for the tribe. The horrifying beasts were killed by Lu Li easily. To those girls, Lu Li was no different from a G.o.d.
Once, Jiang Qiling joked about the tribe leader"s daughter liked Lu Li to find out his att.i.tude. But he replied with a determined no.
Time flew by. Soon, another two months went by. Lu Li did not make great progress but today, he had to go.
He didn"t loath the view here. But He Yue sent a message—something was happening in the Waters Region. A place was having violent fluctuation in s.p.a.ce. Evidently, there were powerful warriors breaking down spatial barriers.
Warriors from the nine universes were coming again.
