Chapter 423: Stay for the Night

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

"Lu Li, what are you doing here? It's been some time. Have you been missing me?" Jiang Qiling tilted her head and asked. She paid no attention to Jiang Hong and Ming Yu's presence.

"Yes!"

Lu Li felt sorry for Jiang Qiling, recalling how alone she was. Out of instinct, she reached out his hand to stroke her hair and said, "I hear that you have failed to reach the Noble Lord Realm and you are hurt. I am here to check on you. Now I see you are still full of vigor and you can drink. I can put my mind at ease."

Lu Li stroking her hair was an action taken without thinking. He was treating her like his younger sister. Jiang Qiling's smile froze, though and she paused for a second. But she didn't move away. Her smile came back bigger.

She twitched her pretty nose and said, "I was too anxious. Hmm, wait till I am all healed. I will keep on trying soon and I must reach the Noble Lord Realm."

"Don't push yourself so hard!"

Lu Li smiled gently and said, "Cultivation is like dining. You will be stuffed if you eat too quickly. You must take baby steps. You are still young. You will be one of the most powerful in the Central Plains as long as you make great efforts."

"Ha, ha~"

Jiang Qiling became more excited and lively since she saw Lu Li. She stuck her tongue out and said, "Let's go. Come to my Chamber of Fairies and have a drink."

Jiang Hong stopped her right there and said, "Lady Qi, that is your bedroom. You cannot bring men in. If the Family Patriarch is there…"

Jiang Hong sighed to himself just now because he realized she had developed feelings for Lu Li.

If Lu Li was not exiled from the Lu Family, then maybe this relationship could grow into something great. But Lu Li was abandoned by the Lu Family now. If he dated Jiang Qiling, her father would be furious.

Jiang Family Patriarch had only one daughter. Either she didn't get married, or she would have to marry a disciple of the 12 Royal Families, and one of the most prestigious ones.

Lu Li was abandoned. Marrying him would make her a joke among all the Families at the Central Plains and cause displeasure from Lu Zhengtan, which could jeopardize the relationship between the Lu Family and the Jiang Family.

Jiang Qiling could meet Lu Li, as an average friend. But she could not bring Lu Li to her bedroom. If the Family Patriarch learned this, Jiang Qiling might be okay but Lu Li would see the end of his days for sure…

Lu Li understood the severity of this matter. He nodded and responded, "This lake is quite nice. Jiang Hong, go and get some drinks and some food. I will tour the Lake of Delicacy with your Lady tonight."

Jiang Qiling nodded agreement. Jiang Hong hurried ashore to get the food ready. Soon, there came maids with food and drinks onto the boat.

Jiang Hong got another boat and invited Ming Yu to go with him so that Lu Li and Jiang Qiling could be alone. He knew this Lady too well. If he was an eyesore, she might kick him into the lake.

The boat sailed slowly. There were many dishes and drinks in the cabin. Windows on both sides could be opened for them to see the sparkling water.

On the lake breezed a gentle pleasant wind, carrying a coolness, very comfortable.

Food was good and drink was still Bloody Rose. It burned but Lu Li had grown to like this taste.

Men in the world must mount the most handsome of horses and drink the strongest of wines, bed the most beautiful of ladies and murder the most hated of people. This was qualified as a good life, a life that deserved to be lived.

Jiang Qiling didn't say anything. She poured Lu Li wine and looked at him with a smile as if Lu Li was the most beautiful person in the world that she could never grew bored of looking at.

"I will tell you the truth!"

Lu Li didn't have time to fool around with Jiang Qiling. He worked up some courage and said, "I am here to ask you to save my life. Alas…I am a man but I have to beg you. This is shameful."

"Oh? Lu Li, it is unusual for you to seek help."

Jiang Qiling was surprised. Lu Li was a man of strong characters. He would not ask for help unless it was something impossible for him to deal with.

Lu Li touched his nose embarrassingly and said, "A Human Sovereign Realm warrior is trying to hunt me down. If he were only at the Noble Lord Realm, I think I can do something but I really cannot deal with a Human Sovereign Realm warrior."

"Human Sovereign Realm warrior?"

Jiang Qiling's eyes sparkled like the water, very attractive. She didn't know much about what was going on out there but after some thinking, she asked, "Lu Family? Song Family? Or the Palace of Gods?"

Jiang Qiling was a witty girl. The only ones offended by Lu Li were the Lu Family, Song Family and the Palace of Gods. Those at the northern Central Plains didn't dare to cause Lu Li trouble.

Lu Li praised her cleverness and explained to her. Then he added, "Lady Qi, I don't have anyone that can help me and I can only turn to you to locate the Family Patriarch of the Song Family for me. If you will be in too much trouble to make a move for me, then stall him for half a year. Half a year later, even if he is at the Northern Desert, I will have a way to deal with him."

Mammoth Race's Clan Leader and patriarchs should be out soon. By then, Lu Li would be ready to back to the Deserted World. If everything went well, the Human Sovereign Realm of the Titan Race would be serving Lu Li. If so, even if the Song Family Patriarch was at the Northern Desert, Lu Li would have a way of fighting back.

"Oh?"

Jiang Qiling was surprised to hear that Lu Li could handle a Human Sovereign Realm warrior after half a year.

She sent some doubtful looks to Lu Li but didn't ask many questions. After a while of silence, she said, "Lu Li, I cannot promise that we can help you kill the Song Family Patriarch. But we can try out best."

Lu Li was touched. He understood that Jiang Qiling, despite her identity, didn't have too much power. All the authority and power were in the hands of Jiang Wuwo, the Jiang Family Patriarch, and the other patriarchs. Jiang Qiling was a person that would never ask Jiang Wuwo for help…

Lu Li looked at her seriously and said, "Lady Qi, I owe you my life. If you need me for anything…"

"Alright!"

Jiang Qiling stopped him, rolled her eyes and said, "You are a man. Don't be so touchy-feely. Do you think I need to come to you for anything?"

Lu Li touched his nose embarrassingly. She had a point. There were many powerful warriors at the Jiang Family. She could go to them, instead of Lu Li, if she really needed anything.

"Lady Qi, here is to you."

Lu Li picked up his goblet, clinked with hers and then drank up. Jiang Qiling rolled her eyes again and said, "Lady Qi? Lu Li, if you still keep such a distance, I will not help you. Call me Qiling, or Qi-er, or Ling-er…"

"…"

Lu Li didn't know how to respond to that. Staring into her passionate eyes, he felt somewhat shy and embarrassed. He fake a smile and said, "Okay, I will call you Qiling."

"Ha, ha~"

Jiang Qiling smiled, satisfied. She picked up her goblet and drank it up slowly. Then her lips became redder. Her cheeks turned rosy as well. Under the candle light, she was so inviting.

Lu Li wanted to leave now that he had named his purpose here. He stood up and said, "Qiling, I have matters to attend to at the Northern Desert. I need to go now and I will be back to drink with you later."

"So soon?"

Jiang Qiling looked disappointed. She bit her red lips and said, "You said that you will do anything if I need you. Then I have something to ask you for now."

Lu Li pouted. Women's minds could not be guessed. She just mentioned that she didn't need him and now she did.

But she had already said so. What could he do? He had to face the music and said, "Okay, name it. If I can do it, I will."

"Of course you can."

Jiang Qiling's enticing smile was back. She looked seductively charming and said, "I want to you stay for the night. Spend the night with me."
