The Invincible Dragon Emperor

The Young Ladies went to a woods. They laid some cotton cloths on the ground and fenced up an area with cotton cloths. A simple tent was built.

It was easier for the Young Masters. They just randomly found some leaves and gra.s.ses to lay down on the ground and fell deeply into sleep.

Lu Li went to the edge of the valley. He used his newly casted Mighty Heaven Halberd to cut down some trees and took out some ropes out of the Interspatial Ring. After he fumbled for some time, he managed to build a cabin in an hour. The cabin was simple and crude. There was only a bed inside but it was much better than the other people’s.

Lu Li didn’t go through so much trouble in building this crude cabin to sleep comfortably. It was more for…seclusion.

He took out the two treasures in the cabin. Previously, he was not in the mood nor did have the time to check them. Now that he was completely safe, naturally he wanted to inspect them carefully.

Lu Li pour his Xuan Energy to the Interspatial Ring but he was disappointed. It was indeed an Interspatial Ring, but there was nothing inside, only the ring itself.

Lu Li understood it. The treasures closer to the entrance would not be too good. One Interspatial Ring would be worth of more than 10 million Xuan Crystals. It was not so bad.

Lu Li took out the other scroll and browsed it. After a cursory reading, he frowned. The characters written on it was not modern, but in seal script. It was similar to the script used on the ancestral tablet of the Cyan Phoenix Race in the small world. Lu Li could not read it.

"I will have Hunchback Tian to read it for me after I get back."

Lu Li put it away after several glances. He fell soundly into sleep after he sat for a while.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Lu Li felt the cabin was kicked on by somebody when he was asleep for just a short while. He opened his eyes abruptly. He mobilized his Xuan Energy and looked out.

The cabin was not high, and the door frame was low. All Lu Li could see was a girl in a white dress with green flowers on it. He could not see her head.

Lu Li arched his back and walked out. He saw a stunningly beautiful face. Without even thinking, Lu Li asked, "Lady Shuang, what are you doing here kicking my cabin instead of sleeping? Do you want to sleep with me?"

"Bah!"

It was Bai Xiashuang who came here. Of course, Bai Qiuxue wouldn’t be rude as to kick the cabin. Bai Xiashuang spat into the air, her face blus.h.i.+ng. She stared at Lu Li and said, "Lu Li, how dare you defame me? I will cut off your tongue!"

Lu Li was soundly asleep. He had no time to mess around with Bai Xiashuang. He waved his hand and said, "If you want something, just say it. I want to sleep."

"Hmm, hmm!"

Bai Xiashuang snorted. She said embarra.s.singly, "My sister said the ground was uneven. There are ants. She cannot sleep well. So…she wants to borrow your cabin. Lu Li, you are a man. You can sleep outside."

"Your sister?" Lu Li rolled his eyes. It was unlikely that Bai Qiuxue would propose something so irrational. Borrowing, this was borrowing? Wouldn’t it be called s.n.a.t.c.hing?

Lu Li didn’t save Bai Xiashuang’s grace. He replied, "Ask Lady Qiuxue to come. If she says she wants to borrow it, I will give it to you. I don’t know you so well."

With that said, Lu Li got back to his cabin. Bai Xiashuang glared at Lu Li. Her eyes became misty. Then she ran wildly back to the woods.

Lu Li cared not about her. He was not the servant of the Bai Family. Why would he lend the cabin to Bai Xiashuang?

If her att.i.tude was better, he could consider it. But it was Bai Xiashuang who was begging him and she acted as if she was doing him a favor. Lu Li would not respond well to that.

What was more, Lu Li himself was so sleep. He didn’t bother to care about Bai Xiashuang. He cared about nothing. With his eyes closed, he slept soundly.

He slept for about 12 or 14 hours. When he woke up, he felt refreshed. He walked outside, stretched himself and looked around. He found several Young Masters on the left were building a cabin.

However…

These Young Masters had never done something like this before. They didn’t know the trick of it. Also, they had no robe. They just found some veins and tried to build up the cabin with an air of importance.

Bai Xiashuang was standing on the side with several other Young Ladies. Bai Xiashuang was making indiscreet remarks, ordering the Young Masters around. Seeing Lu Li had come over, she glared at him. Then she looked at the cabin that was about to take shape with pride, seemingly to tell Lu Li that they could build a cabin without Lu Li’s help in a wordless way.

Lu Li looked at them, smiled and said nothing. He turned back and called Little White to follow him. They went toward the pond.

Lu Li saw n.o.body by the pond. He took off his robe and dived into the pond with his underpants on. Little White had already rushed into the water happily.

It had been a long time since Lu Li took a bath. Lu Li was getting uncomfortable. The water in the pond was flowing. There was a stream coming from the south-east side running into the pond. So the water here was clean.

Lu Li went ash.o.r.e after his bath. He changed into a clean robe in a woods. Then he walked out leisurely toward where the others were gathered.

Bai Qiuxue was over there, Bai Gu as well. After they saw Lu Li coming, Bai Qiuxue smiled and nodded him h.e.l.lo. Bai Gu and some others also greeted him.

Lu Li walked over there and asked, "Lady Qiuxue, when will we leave?"

Speaking of that, Bai Qiuxue frowned. Bai Gu also sighed. One of the warriors explained, "I am afraid we are going to stay here for the time being. None of us can break the Inhibition Formations on the doors. We cannot find any other exits or secret gears, either."

"Doors cannot be opened? No exits or secret gears?"

Lu Li took a look around. Looking the steep precipices, he asked, "Can’t you stick your Xuan Artifacts into the precipice and climb up to have a look?"

Bai Qiuxue shook her head and said, "The Inhibition Formations on the precipices cannot be broken. Don’t sweat over it too much, Lu Li. There are many animals here and many fish in the pond, enough for us to eat for a year. There must be a way out of the valley. We just need to find it slowly."

Lu Li nodded. It was unlikely that Emperor Long would trap them in a dead-end place. As long as they didn’t starve to death, they would find an exit since there were so many of them here.

"Creak, creak~"

While they were chatting, a door on the south-east side suddenly was pushed open. One after another shot out of the door. Lu Li and his team were on their guards for any possible dangers. Bai Gu looked at them and said with relief, "It’s Zi Lian, the team of the Heaven Martial Kingdom."

"Heaven Martial Kingdom?"

The ring on Lu Li’s hand kindled. He put on his Ghost Mask at once. Then he said in a low voice, "Guys, I have enemy at the Heaven Martial Kingdom. Please don’t call me Lu Li from now on, just Island Owner Lu will do."

Bai Qiuxue looked to the distance and said casually, "Lu Li, what are you afraid of with all of us here? Even if they are up to making trouble, they’ll have to ask us first."

Bai Gu nodded and said, "The Heaven Martial Kingdom only has more than 10 warriors of the Soul Pond Realm. If they act rashly, then we will fight with them."

Lu Li cupped his fists and expressed his grat.i.tude to Bai Qiuxue and Bai Gu. But he still didn’t take off his Ghost Mask. Safety came first. To remain low-key was always better.

After those men rushed out, that gate closed. Zi Lian saw the team from the Thousand-island Lake. Instead of surprised, she was pleased. The more than 20 people on her team rushed over.

"Sister!"

Bai Xiashuang and the others soon moved closer to Bai Qiuxue, to avoid any possible conflict. Bai Qiuxue stood quietly. Her expressions were calm as still water.

Zi Lian soon led her team over. Lu Li and the others looked at them and they smiled in concert.

It looked like Zi Lian and her team had been went through some tough stuff in the maze. They all looked exhausted, sickly and skinny. Their clothes and hair were in a mess. Many were yawning…

Zi Lian was better compared with the others. She forced herself to cheer up. She bowed to Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang and said, "Greetings, sister Qiuxue, sister Xiashuang. Greetings, Young Masters."

Bai Qiuxue nodded and saluted back, "Hi, little sister Lian-er. So it seems you have been suffered a lot. But you are fortunate enough to get out of the maze. Sister, have your men to have a proper rest first."

Zi Lian left with her team to the other side of the pond. After they were gone, Bai Gu put on a mocking smile and whispered to Lu Li, "Only two of them are at the middle stage of the Soul Pond Realm. One is Zi Lian and the other is Yu Lingxu. They only have 12 at the initial stage of the Soul Pond Realm. If there is a fight, they will not be a match."

"Yu Lingxu?" Lu Li squinted. He said in a low voice, "The Yu Family really sent someone here."
