"Devour?"
Lu Li had a mental picture of that scene. Instead of feeling scared, he was enticed. Madam Yan was like a vixen. Her charm could be fatal for a virgin like him.
Lu Li tried to flirt with Madam Yan once at the Bai Emperor Mountain, only to be flirted by her which cause him to lose sleep that night. Today he tried to flirt with her again but now he could barely control himself.
He turned his face away, took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He could not bed with Madam Yan. She was a widow, a Black Widow no less. To be together with her would lead to a whole army of problems. Lu Li was not confident that he could win over the Black Widow.
"Ha, ha~"
Madam Yan giggled and gloated like a winner. Lu Li wanted to flirt with her? He was so naive.
"I cannot be involved with this woman!"
Lu Li kept saying to himself. If he was more capable than Madam Yan in combat, it was fine. But he was weaker. To mess around with Madam Yan might lead to his own death. There was the Old Man of Heaven Prison at the Bai Family. When they pushed the Bai Family into the corners, Ming Yu and Lu Li would both die.
Lu Li meditated for a moment and said with a straight face, "I am afraid that you will devour me. I will change my conditions. How about you give me 10 Heaven Grade Xuan Skills? Good ones. Don"t give me rubbish."
"Don"t change it."
Madam Yan looked at Lu Li with flirting eyes, and she even patted on Lu Li"s back with her delicate hands. She smiled and said, "I am just kidding. How dare I to devour you and to eat you up? Even if I am to eat you...it"s in a different way. I promise you, Young Master Lu, that you will never forget."
"Grunt, grunt~"
Lu Li"s Adam"s apple moved up and down as he swallowed down some saliva. He became all tense. The below-belt area was reacting strongly. He pushed away her hands as fast as he could, cleared his throat and said, "Madam Yan, please be serious. We are talking about real stuff here."
"Ha, ha, ha~"
Madam Yan laughed an unrestrained laugh. Her b.r.e.a.s.t.s raised up and down. She was as s.l.u.tty as a cat in heat. Lu Li was even afraid to look at her.
"Okay, okay!"
Madam Yan squinted at Lu Li and quit messing with him. She nodded and said, "I can give you the 10 Heaven Grade Xuan Skill booklets. I will have them delivered as soon as possible. If you are not happy, I will get you new ones. What else do you want?"
Lu Li did not know. He had enough Xuan Crystals. Even with Xuan Crystals, the Heaven Grade Xuan Skills were not something that could be bought. Now that he could have Xuan Skill booklets, he really didn"t know what else he could ask for.
Since Madam Yan gave him the G.o.d-down Island, she would protect the Liu Family for as long as he was alive. He wouldn"t have to worry about the Liu Family.
He thought about it and said, "I will use it in the future. Put your mind at ease, Madam, the past is the past. I am a man with broad mind. As long as you are sincere in making a friend with me, I will treat the Bai Family as my friend as well. Do you understand me?"
"Young Master Lu, you are the bigger man. You really are a person from a prestigious house."
Madam Yan nodded and sighed, "Actually...our girl Qiuxue likes you so much. It speaks volume about your qualities. I am the one that didn"t see the truth. Qiuxue seems very gentle but she is a proud person. There are so many young masters from wealthy homes at the Thousand-island Lake, but she doesn"t like any of them. The fact that she approves you means that you are really an outstanding person."
Lu Li smiled lightly without replying.
The damaged had been done and it would not be repaired now. The way Lu Li saw it, Madam Yan was a cold-blooded and cruel woman. No matter what Madam Yan said or did to save the relations.h.i.+p, he would not take her as a friend any more.
Madam Yan sighed to herself when she saw Lu Li"s expressions. She knew things were beyond saving. Luckily, during this whole thing, Bai Qiuxue had chosen Lu Li"s side. In the end, Bai Xi allowed Bai Qiuxue to come along. She even shouted that she would hate Madam Yan if she killed Lu Li at the Blood Evil Island.
She knew that as long as Bai Qiuxue was in the picture, Lu Li would not hate the Bai Family. But how to establish a good relations.h.i.+p with this Young Master of the Lu Family and make the Bai Family harvest benefit from all this was something to be planned over some time.
This could not be done within a short period of time. The big war was coming so Madam Yan had not the luxury of time to stay for a long. She got up and said, "Young Master Lu, I will go back now. Eh...when you have some spare time, you can go to the Bai Emperor Mountain and pay us a visit. My bedroom"s door is now open to you. You can come in at any time, ha, ha..."
Madam Yan walked away, leaving behind some flirty laughter. Lu Li stared at her slim waist, and her round bottom, and once again swallowed some saliva. He exclaimed to himself that she really was a vixen...
...
Madam Yan had gone but Lu Li didn"t come out to bid her farewell.
His action rendered Liu Yi and others speechless. Many disciples of the Liu Family were afraid that if Madam Yan became crossed, the G.o.d-down City would be welcoming a new master the next day.
Lu Li didn"t worry about it. He continued close-door cultivation. He had been consuming all the pellets and elixirs for soul that had been given to him by many Families to stabilize his Soul Pond.
The atmosphere at the Thousand-island Lake became all the livelier with the pa.s.sing of time. The troop was about to set off. Many people even started to putting down bets on in how many days would the Yu Emperor City be breached and if the three Royal Families would interfere and how many powerful warriors the Yu Family was going to lose...
The list of partic.i.p.ants was circulated. The Old Man of Heaven Prison, Bai Xi and Bai Leng were all going. Madam Yan would stay behind to guard the Bai Emperor Mountain.
Apart from Lu Li, all the other Fourth-rank Families were going together. There were 15 Eternal Realm warriors, more than 100 Fate Wheel Realm ones and tens of thousands of Soul Pond Realm warriors.
The weakest warriors were at the Soul Pond Realm. Almost half of the powerful warriors of the entire Thousand-island Lake were mobilized. The Old Man of Heaven Prison wanted to fight a beautiful fight to destroy the Yu Family and overawe the Northern Desert.
Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang were not allowed to be out. They were grounded for half a year by Madam Yan. The Old Man of Heaven Prison had not time to interact with the two girls lately. He wanted them to spend some time to think about what they did.
A few days later, Lu Li asked Hunchback Tian to take him to the Earth Dragon Island in secret.
The Island was marked as off limits by Lu Li and authorized personnel were here to guard. Who dared to offend Lu Li within the sphere of influence of G.o.d-down Island now? How would have the courage to go near to the Blood Evil Island?
Having Hunchback Tian staying on guard in the volcano, Lu Li entered the small world to see where Ye Cha and the others were at in their cultivation.
Ye Cha and the other four were in closed-door cultivation. Ye Xiaoxi and another Patriarch received Lu Li. He was satisfied by what he got from his inquires. In a month at most, Ye Cha and the others would go out from closed-door cultivation. Should everything be okay, all of them would reach the n.o.ble Lord Realm.
Lu Li didn"t spend too much time in here. He got out after he toured around for a bit. Hunchback Tian noticed nothing wrong. Ming Yu didn"t come as Hunchback Tian sensed no signs of psychic power.
It was not that Lu Li didn"t trust Ming Yu. Lu Li just thought he could never be too careful. The less knew about the Cyan Phoenix Race, the safer it would be.
Lu Li asked Liu Yi after he went back to the G.o.d-down Island. He was now certain that Ming Yu never left the island. He had been cultivating in the backyard.
Right as Lu Li was ready to go back to his training, a piece of news came that shocked everyone of the G.o.d-down Island and Lu Li, and even the entire Thousand-island Lake.
Starting from last night, all the scouts of the Bai Family that were hiding outside the Yu Emperor City were gone. Then all the ones in that entire region went missing one by one. In just a day and a night, the Bai Family had been cut off from any information channel to the Yu Emperor City.
The Yu Family had made a move in advance. They removed all the scouts placed by the Bai Family in the course of a day and a night. Not even one scout was left.
Half a day later, the Old Man of Heaven Prison walked down from the Bai Emperor Mountain. He had people sent news cross the Northern Desert – the Thousand-island Lake would commence the punitive expedition to the Yu Emperor City officially and they would not go back until they exterminated the entire Yu Family.
