Chapter 462: Scammed

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Lu Li finally had an understanding of the Heaven Reverse Universe after Jiang Wuwo's explanation.

The historical course of humans could be divided into the distant ancient times, the middle ancient times and the contemporary time that is now. The distance ancient times was a history of blood and tears for humans when humans were regarded as animals and slaves. Humans trembled at the awe of other alien races, being killed by the races randomly and even taken as food.

In the middle ancient times, humans began their rise secretly. With Bloodline Skills, humans began to develop Xuan Skills and comprehend nature's rules and Profound Meanings. Back then, humans were still weak. But at least, they could protect themselves.

Toward the end of the middle ancient times, there came a chosen warrior who was called Heaven Reverse by himself. His fight ability was unseen in the past and in the present. He himself swept across the alien races, driving them out of the Great Land. The Heaven Reverse Universe was tainted by blood and bodies piled into mountains. The alien races all admitted defeat to him.

However…

The Heaven Reverse didn't kill every single one of the alien races. Soon, he broke void and soar to heaven to become an immortal, leaving behind him future troubles.

Many alien races disappeared into history but some of them survived. There were four of them that rejuvenated, aka the Voodoo Race, Feather Race, Barbarian Race and the Asmodians of the four lands.

The four races occupied one land each and killed the humans on their lands. Day and night, the four races thought of fighting their way back to the Great Land, taking back the most prosperous land where their glorious past and history once were.

Therefore, humans still hated the alien races. That was a blood feud that could not be resolved. Ganging up with alien races was to make oneself a public enemy of the people.

If Lu Li took the alien races in as his slaves, it might have been okay. If he was their leader, then this issue would be serious one. If word got out that Lu Li was cooperating with alien races and buying Mystical Materials for them, then the consequences could be beyond grave.

Lu Li didn't say anything in reply. Jiang Wuwo was speaking on behalf of humans, while Ye Cha and God of Meng represented alien races. Both sides had their argument and Lu Li didn't know which side to believe in.

Nevertheless!

Ye Cha and God of Meng had sworn their loyal allegiance and Lu Li needed a measure for self-protection as well in case Lu Fenghuo and Lu Suan plotted against him before. Lu Li needed powerful forces to save Bai Qiuxue, find Lu Li and rescue Lu Renhuang. As for the feud between humans and the alien races, he didn't want to concern himself with that.

He was a human being, pure human.

But Ye Cha and God of Meng didn't treat him badly. They never had any thoughts of cannibalism when they saw Lu Li. Therefore…Lu Li was not entirely convinced by Jiang Wuwo's words.

After some thoughts, Lu Li said, "Master, those alien races are weak and I can control them. If this gets exposed, I will be solely responsible."

Lu Li's words carried two layers of meanings and he promised that Pavilion of Delicacy could stay out of it once anything went wrong.

Jiang Wuwo laughed coldly and replied, "Really? You are doing business with the Pavilion of Delicacy. How can you take the full responsibility? Do you think we can really stay out of it? Take the Mystical Materials of your back. I will pretend that I never saw them. You go and sell them by yourselves."

Lu Li was getting agitated. No one else would dare to take his Mystical Materials if Jiang Wuwo didn't.

Lu Li had mountains of treasures but of no use. He could not get Xuan Crystals or trade for needed Mystical Materials. Would his efforts for such a long time be in vain?

Lu Li cupped his fists and said, "Master, only you and I know about this. Also, very few people at the Northern Desert know about that small world and I will not allow any alien races to get out from there. You can just tell people that you raided a small world to get those Mystical Materials and it has nothing to do with alien races. Also…I will personally be here for future transactions. I will let nobody else know that I am doing business with you…"

Jiang Wuwo was in deep thoughts. He was hesitating. Lu Li was stressed that he couldn't breathe, feeling time passing extremely slowly.

After the time for one incense stick to burn, Jiang Wuwo finally sighed and said, "Alright, for the sake of Ling-er, I will help you. But price-wise… I can only offer you 80% of the market price. After all, the Mystical Materials must be dealt with delicately. We are in a lot of risks and it will be troublesome to sell."

"Only 80%?" Lu Li frowned. Then he made up his mind and said, "Deal!"

Jiang Wuwo waved his hand and said, "Go and find Jiang Yi. In the future, when you are here, go look for him instead of me. I have other matters to attend to. Leave now."

Lu Li exhaled. He bowed and said, "Thank you. Goodbye."

Lu Li walked out in strides. His back was drenched in sweat. He looked up to the sky, feeling that the day was particularly sunny and the scenery was pretty.

He could see endless supply of needed Mystical Materials as long as he could do business with the Pavilion of Delicacy. His men could make breakthroughs. In less than 100 years' time, the Northern Desert could become a major force, maybe even a second Lu Family.

Power!

In this world, absolute power was the rule. Winners were the writers of history. When one had absolute power, everything the person said would be right.

"Young Master Lu, our Young Lady is asking for you."

An old servant walked over and told Lu Li in a low voice. Lu Li was in a good mood after the deal was made. He left with the servant.

Lu Li arrived in a beautiful yard after taking several turns. The yard as covered with flowers. Trees in here were flourishing. Pavilions and building inside gave the yard a majestic look.

Lu Li was shown to a pavilion. Taking a look from the distance, he realized that this was the one Jiang Qiling stayed in by the lake. So, the yard must be hers as well.

She was sitting inside. The stone table in front of her was filled with delicious food. Her red dress whooshed in the strong wind. Her white thighs would be shown every now and then.

"Lu Li, come and let's have a drink."

Jiang Qiling held a goblet in her hand filled with blood-like wine. Needless to say, it was Blood Rose. Lu Li walked over, picked up a goblet, took a sip and said, "It's done. We can trade now at 80% of the market price."

"Only 80%?"

Jiang Qiling's beautiful eyebrows were knitted together. She asked him about it and he told her the entire story. Hearing him out, she said with rage, "Jiang Wuwo, that bastard scammed you. Lu Li, you are ripped off."

"Scammed?" Lu Li was confused and surprised.

"Lu Li, you are so naïve."

Jiang Qiling pouted and said, "Trading with alien races is nothing at the Central Plains. Even…some major families conduct trade with Feather Race, Barbarian Race, Voodoo Race and the Asmodians off the record. As long as there is interests, you can even trade with an enemy that killed your father… Jiang Wuwo is trying to drive the price down. No, I must find this old bastard."

"Don't…"

Lu Li stopped her right away. They finally had a deal, which would be off the table again if she meddled.

As for the price, Lu Li didn't mind. After all, without the Pavilion of Delicacy, he could not sell the Mystical Materials. It was normal for the Pavilion of Delicacy to cut a share.

On second thought, recalling what Jiang Wuwo said, Lu Li seemed to understand. Jiang Wuwo had talked about the blood feud with the alien races at first on purpose to intimidate Lu Li, letting Lu Li know that the Pavilion of Delicacy was the only place to go. Nobody else would have the courage to do business with Lu Li. This was a way to drive down the price…

"So he is experienced. No one with the surname Jiang is a good guy."

Lu Li sighed. He was ripped off but he had to be grateful to Jiang Wuwo who was shooting two birds with one stone.
