Chapter 137: The Domineering Influence of the Island Owner

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Lu Li pondered about it for a while and then posed another question, "Are you sure that the information about Hunchback Tian is right? If we recruited him, would he act recklessly on our island?"

"Lu Li, we really don’t have the ability to support him…"

Liu Yi shook her head. Seeing that Lu Li stayed calm and collected, she had to add, "The person is fine. Hunchback Tian is very well-known at the Thousand-island Lake. No news about him acting rashly ever came out."

"Okay then!"

Lu Li made up his mind. He walked towards the Might Hall in strides. Patriarch Seven and Patriarch Nine were taking in a gentle manner to Hunchback Tian. Seeing that Lu Li came in, they understood that he had asked Liu Yi out to get some information. They looked relieved and said, "Hunchback Tian, this is our Island Owner Lu Li. Eh… he has a quite good relationship with Lord Ming Yu."

Hunchback Tian released his powerful qi and energy out when he saw the real host was here. The entire Might Hall became quite depressing. Hunchback Tian arrogantly said, "Island Owner Lu? I have heard some stories about you. You are a promising young man. Lord Ming Yu and I once met on several occasions. We are familiar acquaintances."

Lu Li casually looked over to Hunchback Tian. He went to the seat of honor without saying anything. Only after he took a few sips of tea did he look at Hunchback Tian and say, "There is no need to demonstrate your strength. I know everything about you. Do you want a good conversation or not? If no, see our visitor out!"

Lu Li’s tone made Patriarch Seven and others startle. Lu Li’s attitude was more arrogant than Hunchback Tian. Was he not worried that Hunchback Tian was going to suddenly turn hostile?

Hunchback Tian’s expressions changed. The light in his eyes grew colder. He glared at Lu Li. Lu Li refused to admit being inferior, and he glared back at Hunchback Tian.

Patriarch Seven and Patriarch Nine were frightened. They dared not to make any noise. After a moment, the horrifying qi and energy from Hunchback Tian suddenly weakened. He put on a smile like a kind grandpa. Hunchback Tian grinned and said, "Island Owner Lu is really worthy of the name of a young hero. I admire you. I have come here for so far away. Of course, I am here with sincerity. How do you want to talk about it Island Owner Lu? I will listen with respectful attention."

"Eh…"

Looking at the wrinkly old face of Hunchback Tian and his obsequious expressions, Patriarch Seven, Patriarch Nine and Liu Yi all rolled their eyes. Hunchback Tian was at the peak of the Soul Pond Realm. Where was his dignity and lofty and unyielding character?

Lu Li put on a nicer expression. He didn’t say anything but took a sip of his tea. Then he opened his mouth leisurely, "It’s not like we cannot consider you joining the Blood Evil Island. But you want to be the Chief Patriarch? No way! I will make you a deacon at best. You don’t have the right to control anything. You only have the obligation to protect the Blood Evil Island!"

"Island Owner!"

Patriarch Seven and the others were almost going crazy. Lu Li, however, waved his hand to signal them to say nothing. He kept looking at Hunchback Tian and waited for his reply.

Hunchback Tian became angry again. His eyes were so wide open that they were bigger than that of cows. He banged the table in rage and said, "Deacon? Protecting the safety of this island? Island Owner Lu, do you think I am a guard dog? You think so lowly of me. I have a fame around the area more than 100 years ago, and I have enjoyed my ways at the Thousand-island Lake for more than 100 years. Even Xu Chen must be polite when he sees me, not to mention a small Third-rank force like yours…"

"See our visitor out!"

Before Hunchback Tian finished his words, Lu Li already shouted coldly and went directly towards the outside.

Hunchback Tian was nervous. He quickly moved to the front of Lu Li and said with that fawning smile back on his face, "Island Owner Lu, I haven’t quite finished with my words. What’s the hurry in leaving so soon? Actually… as long as you can agree to my terms, I can do with deacon. I will be solely responsible for the safety of the entire Blood Evil Island from now on."

Lu Li squinted at Hunchback Tian and asked, "What are your terms?"

Hunchback Tian put on a serious expression and solemnly said, "I recently perceived several Profound Meanings. I am certain that I can reach the Fate Wheel Realm. As long as the Blood Evil Island can provide me with endless Mystical Materials to get to the Fate Wheel Realm, I will make the matters of the Blood Evil Island my personal matters. Anyone that dares to attack the Blood Evil Island must kill me first!"

"Endless resources…"

Liu Yi, Patriarch Seven and Patriarch Nine’s mouths were twitching. That was what they were afraid of. If he wanted to have a try every year, the Blood Evil Island couldn’t support that even if they were to smash their iron pots and pans into pieces and sell them as scrapped iron.

They could easily be stuck with an unwanted guest.

The Blood Evil Island now owned 15 Green Dwarfs. The island’s safety was not an issue now. To raise the Green Dwarfs would require a large amount of Xuan Crystals a year as well…

"Daydream!"

Lu Li shouted coldly. Patriarch Seven and others were uplifted. So Lu Li was not confused.

However, what Lu Li said next made Patriarch Seven and the others even more at a loss of how to react. Lu Li said, "We cannot give your endless recourses. You can try to break through to the Fate Wheel Realm, but you can only try every three years. If you cannot succeed after 10 times, the Blood Evil Island will not give you one Xuan Crystal."

To try to reach the Fate Wheel Realm would need three million Xuan Crystals every time. One try every three years would still mean to prepare him one million Xuan Crystals every year. The Liu Family was lucky enough to have one million Xuan Crystals in surplus in a year without anything going amiss. Also, with the family growing, there would be more and more places for them to use Xuan Crystals.

For instance, Patriarch Seven and Patriarch Nine wanted to reach the Soul Pond Realm. This would cost a large quantity of Xuan Crystals. What if they failed? There was the kid that had the "Roaring Flames" Bloodline. Lu Li’s strength was on the rise. Lu Li could cultivate so quickly. What if he also wanted to reach the Soul Pond Realm? Where should the Liu Family get so many Xuan Crystals…

Patriarch Seven and the others were not happy about this, and Hunchback Tian was even more so. He waved his hand firmly and said, "It is not possible. I am at the peak of the Soul Pond Realm. I am a person with a great reputation at the Thousand-island Lake. I am already losing my dignity to be your guard. You want to limit the amount of my resources? I don’t have many years left. I must try every year. How about this… if I still cannot succeed after 20 tries, I will leave the Blood Evil Island myself."

"Piss off!"

Lu Li glared at him and said, "One try every year, we cannot afford that. You go and find some other places. See yourself out."

Seeing that Lu Li was going away again, Hunchback Tian was anxious. He kindly said, "Brother Lu, don’t be like this. How about I try it every one and half years?"

"Every two years!"

Lu Li said with determination, "And you can only try ten times. This is our condition. If you don’t agree, do as you want. Also… after you reach the Fate Wheel Realm, you cannot leave. You must guard the Blood Evil Island for at least 100 years."

"That is over the line…"

Hunchback Tina was shivering from anger, but he immediately said, "Deal. Brother Lu, you are the Island Owner. You cannot break your promise."

"Island Owner!"

Patriarch Seven, Patriarch Nine and Liu Yi went nuts. They hurriedly followed Lu Li seeing he was leaving. Getting three million Xuan Crystals every two years? Did Lu Li want them to get the Xuan Crystals with their lives…

"What are you worrying about?"

Lu Li casually said seeing that they had anxious expressions as if their eyebrows had caught fire. "I will figure out a way to get the Xuan Crystals. If that is successful, I can help you earn another several millions of Xuan Crystals every year."

"Several million?"

Eyes of Liu Yi and the other two lit up at once. If they could earn another several millions of Xuan Crystals a year, it wouldn’t be a problem for them to raise two Hunchback Tians.

"Whoosh~"

Hunchback Tian’s hearing was too good. He flashed outside from the Hall in a blur and yelled, "Island Owner Lu, you can make an extra of several million Xuan Crystals a year. I only need three million Xuan Crystals in one try. How about I do it every year? As long as I can reach the Fate Wheel Realm, I will pay you back ten times what you give me!"

"Get out!"

Lu Li glared at him and spared him no grace. Lu Li coldly shouted, "Do you wish to break your promise? Then see yourself out…"

Hunchback Tian was frightened. He at once waved his hands and said, "No breaking the promise. I am not breaking the promise. That’s me just rambling. Island Owner, please attend to your businesses. I will go to inspect the Blood Evil Island now. I will guarantee that not even a mosquito from the outside can get in."

"…"

Liu Yi, Patriarch Seven and Patriarch Nine rolled their eyes again. They were speechless. Hunchback Tian looked nothing like a powerful warrior at the peak of the Soul Pond Realm. He was more like a lackey that bullied the weak and feared the strong.
