Chapter 167: Nothing Bad Will Happen with Lu Li There!
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Bai Xiashuang, Bai Qiuxue!
The two brightest pearls of the Thousand-island Lake, twins with Seventh-rank Bloodline, the favorite of the Old Man of Heaven Prison in the younger generation.
Lu Li realized the identity of the other girl in his first guess. He had recognized her because this lady’s temperament was completely different from that of the other lady. This one was gentle and delicate. A light smile was blooming on her face, and she looked like a quietly blossoming lily.
On the other hand, Bai Xiashuang was aloof. She looked at Lu Li with such a coldness like a thousand-year-old glacier. Bai Xiashuang was witty and would move a lot. Her motion and Bai Qiuxue’s motionlessness formed a huge contrast. It just so happened that the two’s appearances were exactly the same…
The beauty of a lady could be rarely seen when it reached a certain level. A pretty girl like Liu Yi was commonly seen. Xu Fangfei was nicer-looking girl than Liu Yi, butd Bai Xiashuang and Bai Qiuxue were even better than Xu Fangfei.
The appearances and temperaments of the twins should be second to none at the Northern Desert. Their beauty was at the same level as the girl Lu Li saw at the Frigid Cloud Mountain with the jade flute and the flower mark on her neck.
It was difficult to have an audience with stunning beauties. Three ladies with such handsome looks that they could induce crimes appeared in front of his eyes at once. Lu Li was an energetic young man, so he found it hard to exercise self-control.
Bai Xiashuang raised her head up high. She quickly glanced over to Lu Li and then turned to the side. Madam Yan was enjoying the fine wine sip by sip. Bai Qiuxue was checking Lu Li up and down with curiosity and a smile on her face, which made Lu Li feel very comfortable.
In just three seconds, Lu Li had regained his calmness. Of course, everyone wanted to woe a beauty. But without enough power, it would be asking for the moon.
On top of that, Bai Xiashuang didn’t like him now. Even if he had reached the later stage of the Soul Pond Realm, Bai Xiashuang still wouldn’t cast him a second glance.
One could be austere if he had no selfish desires. Lu Li’s mind was strong. He smiled lightly, cupped his fists in front of his chest and said, “Greetings Madam Yan, greetings Lady Qiuxue.”
Bai Xiashuang waited for a moment but still Lu Li didn’t say Lady Shuang. She glanced over to Lu Li angrily. With a mocking smile, Lu Li said, “Lady Shuang, here we meet again.”
“Hmm!”
Bai Xiashuang heavily snorted. Madam Yan was grinning from ear to ear. Bai Qiuxue also responded with a smile but not words.
“Okay.”
Madam Yan finally opened her mouth, “Shuang-er, you have promised me. Do this as a favor to me as your aunt. Let the matter with Lu Li go.”
Bai Xiashuang turned her head to the sides, not saying a word. Madam Yan looked at Lu Li and said, “Lu Li, you are a man. Can’t you be more tolerant and broad-minded? Apologize to Shuang-er. All the past feelings of resentments will be water over the bridge from now on. You need to set off soon.”
There was a trace of begging in Madam Yan’s eyes. Lu Li became soft-hearted. He saluted with his fists cupped and said, “Lady Shuang, you are the pearl of the Thousand-island Lake. You need to be gracious. Otherwise, how will you let all your suitors think of you? Alright… I will apologize to you.”
“…”
Madam Yan rolled her eyes. Bai Qiuxue burst into laughter. What kind of apology was this? Bai Xiashuang glared at Lu Li again. Madam Yan waved her hand and said, “Okay, go now. Qiuxue, keep an eye on Shuang-er on the way. Don’t let her act unruly.”
Bai Xiashuang stepped forward still fuming with anger. Bai Qiuxue stood up and with a pleasant smile said, “Island Owner Lu, Shuang-er is just stubborn and short-tempered. She is a kind a girl in her heart. Please forgive her. Let’s go now.”
When someone showed Lu Li respect, he would repay with even more respect. Lu Li cupped his fists and said, “You are too kind, Lady Qiuxue. I myself has done wrong things as well.”
Bai Qiuxue said no more. She walked forward with a smile and Lu Li and Chief Steward Bai followed her. It was a feast for the eyes for Lu Li to look at the perfect backs and curves of the two phenomenal beauties. Bai Qiuxue’s temperament was elegant, and even her walks were very attractive.
When they got to the Teleportation Formation at the plaza on the peak of the mountain, Bai Xiashuang was already waiting there. There were six other young men waiting for her. All of them were about 18 or 19 years old.
Lu Li sensed their qi and energy. All of them were at the Soul Pond Realm, and three of them had bloodline marks on their necks, cyan ones symbolizing Fifth-rank Bloodlines.
“The Bai Family really is powerful.”
Lu Li said to himself with emotion. The Old Man of Heaven Prison had been dominating the Thousand-island Lake for more than 2000 years. Numerous resources were invested, so the current Bai Family at the height of power and splendors could be built.
The six young men were all in glamorous robes. Their skins were white, and their temperament graceful. When they saw Bai Qiuxue, their expressions showed awe and respect. However, when they saw Lu Li, all of them looked cold and aloof.
“So I think Bai Xiashuang have said bad things about me. The young masters of the Bai Family are not liking me.”
Lu Li shook his head in secret. Bai Xiashuang and her sister are the two young ladies of the Bai Family with the highest status. These Young Masters probably listened to everything the sisters had to say. Since Lu Li had angered Bai Xiashuang, these men would not treat him kindly.
“Island Owner Lu, the six are all the young masters of the immediate Bai Family. I will introduce them to you one by one later.”
Bai Qiuxue turned back to tell Lu Li in a low voice. The action made Lu Li grew fondly of her at once. The temper and mind of this girl was so much better than those of Bai Xiashuang.
They went into the Teleportation Formation, and after a flash of white light, they appeared at the open field at the foot of the mountain. The eyes of the group of people already there lit up in an instant.
“Greetings, Lady Xue, Lady Shuang, Young Master Ying, Young Master Tu, Young Master Rong…”
The group of people soon saluted the Young Ladies and Young Masters one by one. But when they got to Lu Li, many looked confused. They didn’t… recognize this one. Was he a young master of the Bai Family?
“Lu Li?”
Xu Fangfei shouted in surprise. How come Lu Li were here with the young masters and young ladies of the Bai Family? Seeing that many people were staring at Lu Li, Bai Qiuxue explained with a smile, “Nice to meet you all. This is Island Owner Lu. He is here to go to the Tomb of the Dragon King with us.”
“Hmm!”
A ring in Bai Xiashuang’s hand lit up. A purple chariot emerged. She shouted in a delicate voice, “The matter permits of no delay. Let’s go. We will go to the city to teleport to the Black Tooth Island and then go directly to the Cliff of Purgatory.”
Bai Xiashuang had already boarded the purple chariot. She looked at Bai Qiuxue who had to get on as well. The chariot soon flew out and vanished to the south.
Many people understood the meaning of the arrangement. The six young masters of the immediate Bai Family got on a chariot as well, but a regular one that was pulled by two stallions. They rushed on as well.
The other young masters and young ladies went to the city by taking their own chariots. Lu Li had nothing to do but to get on a chariot Chief Steward Bai had arranged for him and follow the others towards the city.
Chief Steward Bai didn’t go with them. He stood next to the Teleportation Formation, appearing to be waiting for somebody.
After the time for one incense stick to burn, the Teleportation Formation lit up. Madam Yan came out of it. Chief Steward Bai bent over and helped Madam Yan to board a luxurious chariot.
The Chariot was also driven towards the city. As soon as the chariot entered, rays of glaring light shot up to the sky from the plaza in the city. Chief Steward Bai lifted the curtain to take a look and said, “Madam, they have gone to the Black Tooth Island.”
Madam Yan remained seated with her eyes closed. She nodded slightly without saying anything. Chief Steward Bai pondered about the matter and asked, “Madam, is the family acting too rashly this time? There are so many tricks in the Tomb of the Dragon King. Inhibition Formations are everywhere. If something should happen to the two ladies…”
“What do you know?”
Madam Yan opened her eyes and replied, “Eagles will never learn to fly if they are constrained. The three Royal Families have sent out their most honorable disciples. How can the Bai Family fall behind? Also, with Lu Li there, I don’t suppose something serious will happen.”
“Eh…”
Chief Steward Bai had thought he had heard it wrong. He blinked and asked, “Madam, have you made a mistake? Isn’t Lu Li only at the later stage of the Spirit Sea Realm?”
The Bai Family had sent out eight Soul Pond Realm disciples in total. There were nine at the Soul Pond Realm among the young disciples from the Thousand-island Lake that went together this time. Lu Li was only at the later stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, so he could only be a sidekick with them. Now, Madam Yan said as long as Lu Li was there, nothing serious should happen?
“You don’t understand.”
Madam Yan shook her head and said, “The thing that matters at the exploration at the Tomb of the Dragon King is not realm. Otherwise, why are warriors older than 20 are not allowed in? To live on in that kind of perilous land, one thing to depend on is wisdom, and the second experience. The third is bravery, and the fourth, fortune.”
“Lu Li has killed his way out. He managed to find a way to live in many risky situations. His cultivation and rise-up are as fast as lightning. This person is blessed with good fortune. With him accompanying Shuang-er and Xue-er, nothing bad will happen.”
