Chapter 162: Unique Enchantment

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

The night of a spring was enticing, and the night of the Heaven Prison City was fascinating.

There were many people on the plaza; they were coming and going in endless flows. Many young men and girls were having fun. The carefree expressions of young men and silvery laughter of young girls had added brilliance to the night’s splendor.

Lu Li got onto Chief Steward Bai’s carriage. They didn’t go to the Heaven Prison Chamber of Commerce, though, but to the outside of the city.

Chief Steward Bai had explained that Madam Yan was now at the Bai Emperor Mountain, the location of the Bai Family compound. She having an audience with Lu Li at the Bai Emperor Mountain was an indication that she valued him very much. After all was said and done, not everyone was qualified to have access to the Bai Emperor Mountain.

Sitting in the carriage, Lu Li was in no mood to view the pretty surrounding scenes. He was lost in deep thoughts. His eyes flickered, but nobody could tell what was on his mind.

The Bai Emperor Mountain was more than a mile away to the north of the city. It could be seen out of the north city gate. The mountain was not high, but it was steep. It was reaching for the sky.

The chariot was carried by two stallions, and its speed was fast. In the time for just one incense stick to burn, they had arrived at the foot of the mountain. Lu Li saw from afar that there was a steep mountain trail meandered to the top. He asked with a frown, "Chief Steward Bai, is it difficult for the chariot to get on such a steep road?"

"Put your mind at ease."

Chief Steward Bai looked back with a smile. "There is a small Teleportation Formation at the foot of the mountain that can take you directly to the peak. The trail is reserved for servants. Guests usually take the Teleportation Formation."

"…"

Lu Li rolled his eyes. What would qualify as a rich and powerful family? A one like this Bai Family. They must have more Xuan Crystals than they could spend if they could build a Teleportation Formation outside their own yard.

They soon arrived at a small plaza by taking the official route. There were several stone forts nearby the plaza where there was really a small Teleportation Formation that was guarded by some warriors.

Chief Steward Bai took Lu Li off the chariot. He presented his token and they went into the Teleportation Formation. A beam of white glare rushed upward towards the sky. Lu Li saw a ray of strong white light and then he showed up in a piece of grassland. He glanced over and saw the Heaven Prison City in the distance to the south.

"Nice spot!"

Lu Li suddenly understood why Old Man of Heaven Prison had chosen to establish the Bai Family compound here. They could have a full view of the Heaven Prison City up here. The Bai Family was like a king standing high above the masses. They could control every movement that was happening in the city below.

In front of Lu Li were well-arranged and mighty stone forts. There were so many of them that Lu Li could not see the end of the road. The surrounding trees were flourishing, and the scenery was picturesque. The compound of the overlord of the Thousand-island Lake was really magnificent.

"This way please, Brother Lu."

Chief Steward Bai didn’t show Lu Li towards the group of big stone forts. They went towards the left instead, where there weren’t too many stone forts, rather, a number of gardens with flowers in them. Flowers were blooming in the spring. The moonlight casted on the ground like water, producing a scene that was quite a feast for the eyes.

They finally arrived at their destination after some turns. It was an outdoor pavilion that was built on the edge of a cliff. Taking a look around from inside the pavilion, one could see the stretching mountains in the distance and the towns and tribes. The wide view could make one relaxed and happy.

Some maids were standing in the outdoor pavilion in which a square table was set in the middle. Candles were lit up in the pavilion, and a lady in a black cheongsam with dotted flower patterns were sitting behind the desk with a goblet of wine in her hand.

She didn’t look at Lu Li, but the mountains far away. Her sparkling eyes, her pretty face and her body that had enchantment emitting from it all made it hard for Lu Li to divert his looks.

Which kind of women had unique enchantment? Women like her.

Chief Steward Bai left after he nodded to Lu Li. He walked towards the outdoor pavilion. He kept staring at Madam Yan without concealing the passion and lust in his eyes. He looked directly at Madam Yan as if he was appreciating the most beautiful gem in the world.

As Lu Li approached her, she slowly took back her looks from the mountains. She turned back and gently smiled at Lu Li. "Have you enjoyed what you see?"

"Not enough!"

Lu Li frankly said. Without waiting for Madam Yan’s invitation, he sat opposite to her. He took a goblet and pour himself some wine. He said after he took a sip of the fine wind, "The beauty you have is a blessing from the heavens. Beautiful things are meant to be enjoyed and appreciated. I have seen many women, but you are definitely the most beautiful one."

Lu Li’s bold,and somewhat rude words astonished Madam Yan. She took a closer look at Lu Li and was stunned again as she realized there was something different in Lu Li’s temperament since the last time she saw him.

He became more stable, confident, and… a bit domineering!

The young man was still in his early youth. His childishness hadn’t faded out yet, but in just one month time, how did he became so mature so quickly? Madam Yan was looking at him with new eyes.

She waved her hand all of a sudden and signaled the maids to leave. She put on a phenomenal yet gentle smile and said, "Lu Li, you may not know this, but I have another nickname, the Black Widow. You have come to my rendezvous by yourself and you are being rude. Are you not afraid that you may not have a chance to go down the Bai Emperor Mountain again?"

"Black Widow?"

Lu Li was surprised. The Madam Yan was a widow? Black Widow… could it be that many men died in her hands?

He shrugged and said, "A man beds a beauty before death will make him a romantic even if he becomes a ghost. If I can die in the hands of such a fascinating lady like you, it is going to be my honor."

Looking at the ardent looks of Lu Li, Madam Yan helplessly smiled, "You sure have become bolder."

Lu Li gently smiled and didn’t think too much of it. He had angered Bai Xiashuang completely just now and shamed the Bai Family. Now, he still summoned up the courage to come to the Bai Emperor Mountain by himself. Of course, he was bold.

Status and environment could change a man’s temperament, and a man’s culture could change his qualities!

After he became the Island Owner of the Blood Evil Island and the Saint Lord of the Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race, the temperament of Lu Li was going through changes secretly. Maybe… because he also knew that he was a disciple of the Lu Family, a family that had the top ten most powerful Bloodline of the Central Plains, he became confident deep inside.

The Bai Family was powerful, but it was still just a small overlord on the Northern Desert. However, Lu Li was the disciple of the Lu Family, one of the overlords of the Central Plains. He was the son of a warrior of the Human Sovereign Realm Lu Renhuang no less!

How could a disciple of the Lu Family not be aggressive? How could a son of a warrior of the Human Sovereign Realm not have a lofty and unyielding character?

The fight at the Di Long Tribe, the raining night at the Wu Ling County, the bloody battle at the Blood Evil Island, the strange adventure at the small world and the craziness at the auction house had all helped Lu Li to grow step by step. Some kind of energy was gradually reviving in the depths of Lu Li’s soul.

The incident that Patriarch Seven was bereft of a million Xuan Crystals made Lu Li clear about one thing. If he did not deal with his relationship with the Bai Family well, he could not live on comfortably in the Thousand-island Lake.

Therefore, he had chosen to go to the Heaven Punishing Auction House to shame Bai Xiashuang and to come here to the Bai Emperor Mountain. He was ready to risk everything.

He had made up his mind that if the negotiation fell apart, he would lead the Liu Family to the small world. Since he had a way of escape, why would he knuckle under to the Bai Family now?

As for if he could leave the Bai Emperor Mountain, Lu Li was not worried. It was the same thing he believed in—if the Bai Family was so petty, they wouldn’t be the overlord of the Thousand-island Lake.

He had thought the matter over when he was in the chariot. His eyes were bright now. He stared at the charming face of Madam Yan in a very passionate way.

Madam Yan kept silent for a while. She looked away to the distant mountains as she slowly utter some words, "Lu Li, do you know why I have invited you here today?"

They were getting down to business. Lu Li put away his frivolous attitude. He said after some thoughts, "I know. You want me to yield and you still want me to cooperate with you. I don’t think cooperation is what matters. Yielding is. Right, Madam?"

Madam Yan’s smile became more inviting. She turned around and looked into Lu Li’s eyes, "Will you yield?"

"To Bai Xiashuang, no!"

Lu Li shook his head. Then he moved closer to Madam Yan and said, "To you, I can think about it."
