Chapter 489: Deal

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

The Samsara Palace and the Pavilion of Blossoms left a poor impression on Lu Li given that those two forces participated in the destruction of the Cyan Phoenix Race and Mammoth Race.

One day, Lu Li might be able to lead the two races back to the Central Plains to reclaim their ancestral land. Inevitably, he would have to fight the two forces. Lu Li would not be friendly to Ji Mengtian and Die Feiyu who were basically his enemies.

Lu Li wanted to avoid them but Die Feiyu greeted Jiang Qiling with a smile from the distance, "Sister Qiling!"

Jiang Qiling didn't have a good feeling about those two, either. As a matter of fact, she loathed all the young ladies and young masters from major families. However, she could not ignore Die Feiyu after she extended her greetings. Jiang Qiling hopped off from Lu Li's Fate Wheel and said with a smile, "It's you, Lady Feiyu, Lady Mengtian."

Ji Mengtian and Die Feiyu were surrounded by more than 30 people. Half of them were female and half were male but all were at the Noble Lord Realm. Clearly, those were sent by the two forces to protect Ji Mengtian and Die Feiyu.

Ji Mengtian smiled sweetly. She sent sparkling glances to everyone. Jiang Hu and the others felt their breaths shortened. Even Lu Li was a bit scared to look at her in the eyes. This young lady was perfect. Every movement and smile she had would entice a man.

Ji Mengtain finally focused her attention on Lu Li. Seeing the blood on him, she asked with a smile, "Young Master, you must have gone through a bitter fight. How are you? Is any of you hurt?"

Ji Mengtian's words were normal. It seemed that she was just asking a random question. But Jiang Qiling detected something harsh.

Smiling proudly, Jiang Qiling answered, "We were in a small fight. Lu Li and I just killed more than 20 Asmodians and six barbarians. We are not hurt. We cannot be hurt by only 20 Asmodians."

"Eh?"

Those with Ji Mengtian and Die Feiyu were shocked. They knew that Asmodians were difficult to be dealt with. How could no one be hurt on Lu Li's side, where there were only more than 10 warriors, when they were faced with more than 20 Asmodians?

Jiang Hu waved his hand and another warrior brought the captured Asmodian forward. He said with some shame, "Actually, we did nothing. Young Master Lu and Lady Qi killed those 20 Asmodians."

"Eh?"

Die Feiyu and Ji Mengtian stared at Lu Li. When Jiang Hu gave his answer, he put Lu Li's name in front of Jiang Qiling's. Was he trying to imply that Lu Li made a bigger contribution?

Before entering the small battlefield, Lu Li had already attracted attention from Ji Mengtian and Die Feiyu. They noticed that he gave Jiang Qiling a wink and she stopped bragging about how good he was at once. Now they saw Jiang Qiling hop off from Lu Li's Fate Wheel, their interest in Lu Li grew bigger…

Die Feiyu thought of an idea. She bowed to Lu Li and said, "Young Master Lu, I have long heard about your mighty abilities. I have an unreasonable demand. Could you bring us along with you? We would like to have the honor to learn from your heroic deeds."

A charming young lady was looking at Lu Li with her eyes that could talk. She asked him with such respect and she practically begged him. If Lu Li were some average young masters, he would have said yes.

But Lu Li remained collected. In fact, he was vigilant. Smiling, he turned to Jiang Qiling and said, "I am only a minion working for Lady Qi. If Lady Qi and the others hadn't taken such good care of me along the way, I would have been slayed. Lady Feiyu, it is not me that you should ask the question to. You should seek answer from Lady Qi and Brother Jiang Hu."

Lu Li refused subtly. If Die Feiyu had sense, she would let them go. Yet, she declined to do so. She bowed to Jiang Qiling slightly and said asked, "Sister Qiling, please bring us along. We were almost killed by the Voodoo Race. We had like 40 or 50 people on our team and now we only have this many. If you don't bring us with you, we will be buried here."

Die Feiyu had spoken in such a humble tone but Ji Mengtian didn't try to interrupt. She stood on the side with a gentle smile.

Jiang Qiling couldn't make up her mind. She knew that Lu Li would not love going with another team. On the other hand, Die Feiyu was a young lady from the Pavilion of Blossoms and she had been so sweet to call Jiang Qiling sister. If Jiang Qiling were to reject, it would be unkind…

Seeing that Jiang Qiling was struggling, Ji Mengtian said with a smile, "Lady Jiang, you are the chosen warrior and you have been given divine energy from Emperor of Heaven Reverse. Your abilities are amazing. It is normal that you don't think highly of us. Feiyu, we will drag Lady Jing down…"

Goading persuasion!

Lu Li said to himself. Ji Mengtian and Die Feiyu were playing good cop and bad cop, forcing Jiang Qiling to accept their suggestion. Jiang Qiling was a proud and even arrogant person. She would yield to provocation.

As he expected!

Jiang Qiling made up her mind and said, "Sister Feiyu, Lady Mengtian, if you want to go with us, so be it. But if we encounter serious situations and we cannot even take care of ourselves, you should run on your own."

"Such a silly girl!"

Lu Li sighed. It was evident that Ji Mengtian and Die Feiyu harbored untoward thoughts. Deep down in their hearts, they belittled Jiang Qiling and Lu Li. Now Jiang Qiling really acted like she was the boss and was going to take care of two teams…

Lu Li could not let himself draw too much attention when there were outsiders here. He kept his mouth shut. He winked to Jiang Qiling who began to fly on her own Bead of Life.

The big team set off. Lu Li slowed down deliberately and moved behind Jiang Hu, trying to keep his distance from Ji Mengtian and Die Feiyu.

They flew for another two hours when they stopped at a river. The several young ladies were over the moon. They were of noble births and would pay much attention to personal hygiene. They must freshen up as soon as there was a rarely seen river.

"Wait!"

Jiang Qiling was about to go into water barefooted when Ji Mengtian suddenly said, "Ji Qi!"

A Ji Family warrior rushed to upstream and put a silver need into the water. After some careful examination, he nodded and said, "Clean, it's safe!"

Lu Li nodded to himself. This Ji Mengtian was a thoughtful one. Should this river be poisoned by the Voodoo Race, they could all die once they got in.

Ji Mengtian's men began to take out stuff to build tents. They also built a tent in the river as a bathroom. Four or five warriors were sent to guard the area. Their actions convinced that the Samsara Palace was indeed the most powerful at the Central Plains. Even those working for Ji Mengtian were not half bad.

Ji Mengtian, Die Feiyu and Jiang Qiling all went to the temporary bathroom with some other young ladies guarding for them. They would use their psychic power to see if someone was trying to steal a look.

"Ha, ha, ha~"

From inside came some pleasant laughs, which was too enticing for Jiang Hu and others to bear. If they used their psychic power, they could see a beautiful scene of young ladies taking a bath at once. That being said, nobody dared to make a move. They could be hacked to death if they were noticed.

Lu Li's mind was settled as still water. He went downstream by himself to take a bath. He took nearly an hour to clean the blood on him and get rid of the smell.

By the time he got dressed and went ashore, he saw someone unexpected, Ji Mengtian.

Ji Mengtian was in a yellow royal dress. The purple hairpin glistened. Her beauty was beyond description. She stood under a small tree and smiled at Lu Li, like a blossoming peony.

A trace of coldness flashed through Lu Li's eyes. He had no idea that Ji Mengtian had moved here soundlessly. Lu Li would not believe if this young lady had no intentions to come to him, avoiding all the others.

"Young Master Lu, don't be so tense. I bear no ill intentions."

Ji Mengtian walked over in an elegant manner. She stopped 30 feet ahead of him. Putting on a gentle smile, "I am here to make a deal with you. Young Master Lu, do you want to…know your sister's whereabouts?"
