Chapter 199: Do as You Wish
Lu Li and the others had arrived at the Heaven Prison City. For fear that someone from the Yu Family would hunt them down and a.s.sault them in secret, Bai Qiuxue led everyone back to the Heaven Prison City at once. All the young masters and young ladies were frightened. Only after they got back to the Heaven Prison City did they really put their mind at ease.
Lu Li had already pa.s.sed out. Even though Yu Feijia landed nothing other than a casual blow on him, the Eternal Realm warrior was so powerful and strong. All the bones in Lu Li’s chest were crushed. In the end, Lu Li even hit Yu Feijia despite the fact that he carried serious injure which had made the injuries more serious. As soon as Lu Li boarded the Iron-armored s.h.i.+p, he pa.s.sed out.
"Go to the Bai Emperor Mountain."
After they arrived at the Heaven Prison City, Bai Qiuxue immediately asked everyone to go to the Bai Emperor Mountain. n.o.body had recovered from the shock yet, so they didn’t want to leave now. They all followed Bai Qiuxue to the Bai Emperor Mountain in a formidable array.
Of course, to be able to go to the Bai Emperor Mountain was a special privilege for many.
Right as they climbed to the Bai Emperor Mountain, they saw Madam Yan waiting with Chief Steward Bai. Seeing that Ding Gui was carrying a blood-covered Lu Li, a glint of coldness rose in Madam Yan’s eyes as she asked, "What happened? Chief Steward Bai, arrange everyone to rest. Treat Lu Li well. Qiuxue and Xiashuang, come with me."
Chief Steward Bai arranged everyone to take some rest in a fortress. Madam Yan brought Bai Qiuxe Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang to the outdoor pavilion.
Bai Xiashuang chatted all the way up to the pavilion nonstop about the things happened at the Tomb of Dragon King, the sufferings and the weird stuff. Then she accused the Yu Family on many accounts and then talked about the mysterious powerful warrior.
By the time they got to the outdoor pavilion, Madam Yan already understood the course of things. She asked Bai Qiuxue about some important matters and frowned.
"Bai Ding!"
After a moment of deep thoughts, Madam Yan shouted. A man showed up. He knelt down and said, "Madam."
Without looking at this man, Madam Yan waved her hand and said, "Report the matter to Chief Patriarch and ask him to decide."
The man vanished. Then Madam Yan looked at Bai Qiuxue and said, "Qiuxue, are your injuries very serious?"
"It’s okay!"
Bai Qiuxue nodded and said, "Thankfully we have Lu Li. Otherwise, we would have all died at the Mountain of Dragon King."
"Xuan Skill of soul category? He can kill warriors at a higher realm?"
Madam Yan recalled Bai Qiuxue’s previous statements and a.s.sumptions. Her pearl-like eyes sparkled. She put on a smile and said, "This young man has surprised me once again. It really was right to ask him to go with you."
Seeing that Madam Yan didn’t make further arrangements, Bai Xiashuang pouted and said, "Auntie, why don’t you ask our family to send someone to kill Yu Feinong? They were so arrogant and they resorted to violence at the Thousand-island Lake. They basically neglected the Bai Family, hmm!"
Madam Yan rolled her eyes. She stroke Bai Xiashuang’s hair and answered with a smile, "This time, your Uncle Leng destroyed two warriors of the Yu Family and another one was killed. What more do you want? Yu Lingxu even died in the hands of Lu Li."
Bai Xiashuang wouldn’t accept this explanation especially when she heard the last sentence. She stood up suddenly and said, "Yu Lingxu was possessed by demons and he even wanted to kill my sister and Zi Lian and the others. Lu Li killing him was a good deed. As long as they used violence at the Thousand-island Lake, they are the ones in the wrong. They even sent several to fight against Uncle Leng."
"Ha, ha."
Madam Yan didn’t agree. She thought about it and said, "Okay, I understand it all. You go back and have a rest. I will discuss with Chief Patriarch and make further arrangements."
Madam Yan got up and walked out. On her way out, she abruptly turned back and asked Bai Qiuxue, "Qiuxue, what… do you think of Lu Li? Do you think we can ask him to become a member of our family?"
Seeing the meaningful looks of Madam Yan with her faint smile, smart girl as she was, Bai Qiuxue understood what Madam Yan really meant. She replied with a blush, "Auntie, if you want to invite him so do it. Why are you asking me?"
Bai Xiashuang, on the other hand, was kind of a-dork-able, of course, mainly a dork. She said with her eyes wide open, "Yes, yes. Even though Lu Li can be bad sometimes, he is kind of powerful. It would be better if he was a Bloodline Warrior."
"Ha, ha."
Madam Yan left directly with a laugh. Bai Qiuxue was lost in her thoughts. She murmured in a voice only audible to herself, "Our forefather said we were destined to marry warriors of the Human Sovereign Realm. Lu Li? Maybe no…"
"Sister, what are you mumbling about?"
Bai Xiashuang’s mind was simple and care-free. She stretched herself and said, "Let’s go back. We have been so tired lately. I want to take a long bath and a big meal."
"All you can think about it eating."
Bai Xiashuang was angry a moment ago and now she was all happy. Bai Qiuxue really didn’t know how to react to that. She said, "If you get fat, how can you get married later?"
"Hmm!"
Bai Xiashuang thrust her chest forward with pride and answered, "No need to be afraid. Our forefather counted our fortune. We are meant to marry warriors of the Human Sovereign Realm. How can we not get married?"
"Human Sovereign?" Sighed Bai Qiuxue. Was this fortune accurate? Could there be another warrior of the Human Sovereign Realm from the Northern Desert?
Time flew by. Soon, a couple of days had pa.s.sed.
There were people coming out of the Tomb of Dragon King. Zi Lian and Ye Yuhan all came out with their warriors. Du Ziling was in a worse condition. Only after three whole days did his group came out all limping and holding each other in support.
Every young masters’ legs and arms were broken by Lu Li. All the bones in their chests were cracked. Even though they had top-level pellets, it would still take some time before they could recover fully.
This time, every team found something during the treasure hunt. Zi Lian, Ye Yuhan, Du Ziling and Ye Longyu had climbed to the Mountain of Dragon King so they all got something. It was a pity, though, all the best of the treasures were inside the Coffin of Dragon King that flew away.
Naturally, later on, all the Families would send someone to go in and make a thorough search to see if there were any treasures left.
This was a very good experience of empowerment for the young masters and young ladies of the forces. It was even more so with the maze that had toughened everyone’s mind. It would be very beneficial for their future development.
Three Iron-armored s.h.i.+ps all left so Bai Leng left as well. The treasure hunt was now officially over.
Many scouts of the Bai Family were sent to the location, attempting to search for the whereabouts of that mysterious powerful warrior. The Bai Family even asked around for information, trying to establish the ident.i.ty of this man.
However…
If Bai Leng couldn’t find that mysterious powerful warrior, how could the scouts? They got back with a load of information, yet the ident.i.ty of this man couldn’t be figured out.
After a warrior reached the Eternal Realm, his life would be more than 2000 or 3000 years. If some old freaky warrior had been in secluded cultivation, who could tell the ident.i.ty given the fact that so many powerful warriors had emerged in the course of 2000 or 3000 years at the Thousand-island Lake?
The news about the fight at the Cliff of Purgatory spread across the entire Thousand-island Lake and the Northern Desert in two or three days. The Thousand-island Lake was seized in a huge sensation. The name Lu Li went to every corner of the Thousand-island Lake and he had got the attention from all forces. After all, the fight started because of Lu Li.
The party involved, Lu Li, had woken up some time ago. But he still needed time for his wounds to heal. Lu Li had been living at the Bai Emperor Mountain during these days. Bai Qiuxue and Madam Yan didn’t come to visit him. Only Chief Steward Bai would come over every now and then.
By the evening of the fourth day, Madam Yan finally showed up.
She was wearing a ravis.h.i.+ng red dress which highlighted her smooth and rosy skin. The dress was a tight one so her perfect body was showing.
After Madam Yan came in, she looked at Lu Li sitting on the bed with a smile and said directly without beating around the bushes, "I, Bai Yan, now is extending you an official invitation on behalf of the Bai Family. Lu Li, if you can join the External Clan of the Bai Family, the Bai Family will exhaust our ways in training and educating you. In ten years, you can do anything as you wish…around the entire Thousand-island Lake."
