Chapter 862: Punishment
Chapter 862: Punishment
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lu Li showed mercy. Otherwise, as a Noble Lord Realm warrior, Lu Zhantian would have died.
“Poof~”
Lu Zhantian stood up. Blood oozed out from his mouth. His robe was ripped, and his face was covered in blood. It took him a while before he struggled up. Fire seemed to be blasting from his eyes. It was not surprising that he would be angry, because he was attacked in front of two beautiful young ladies.
The ring on his hand glowed. He took out a Holy Grade weapon and bellowed, “You want to play with fire, huh? Let me help you!”
Things were about to turn worse. Liu alerted Lu Zhantian at once, “Young Master Zhantian, stop it. Nobody could save you if you went on!”
Lady Han and Lady Zhu did not pay attention to Lu Zhantian. Both were having questions as they looked at Lu Li curiously.
This man must be above the peak Noble Lord Realm for he could smash away Lu Zhantian in one move. Not so many young masters of his age were at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm in the Lu Family after Lu Ni and the other young masters were sent to the Demon Island.
Lu Zhantian’s status in the family was high enough. Only disciples of the immediate Lu Family could have the courage to discipline Lu Zhantian. The two young ladies knew all of such disciples, but this man seemed unfamiliar…
It was obvious now!
Lady Zhu was the first to think of the answer. Her eyes were sparkling like stars in the sky. A smile blossomed on her face. She said nothing, only casting glances to Lu Zhantian, feeling sorry for him.
Even though Liu did warn Lu Zhantian, the latter still had not come around. He swung the sword and tried to stab Lu Li in his back.
Lu Li did not strike back. He merely turned around and glared at Lu Zhantian. Lu Li’s looks were as cold as ice. He was like a beast that was burning up, completely detached. The force of horrifying energy swarmed out around Lu Li.
“What…”
Lu Zhantian lacked practical experience. He trembled at Lu Li’s stare.
How many people had Lu Li killed? The aura of death was strong around him. Even some common patriarchs of the Lu Family would shatter at Lu Li’s anger, let alone Lu Zhantian.
“You, you…”
Lu Zhantian was frozen on this spot. His teeth were chattering. He stuttered, “Who on earth are you?”
“Hmm!”
Lady Han and Lady Zhu came over. They curtsied and said with a smile, “Nice to meet, you, Young Master Li.”
“Young Master Li?”
Lu Zhantian frowned. Then, his pupils contracted in fear. He could not stop shaking when he asked, “You, you are Lu… Li?”
Lu Li threw Lu Zhantian a glance and said, “You have made a fool of yourself. Go back and accept any punishment according to our family rules that are appropriate. If I ever hear you abuse power in the name of Lu Family, you will have to suffer the consequences.”
“I am sorry!”
Lu Zhantian dropped to his knees at once, regardless of the fact that he was disgraced before two pretty girls. He kowtowed to Lu Li and said, “Young Master Li, please calm down. I promise you that there won’t be a next time. I will go back and receive my punishment right now.”
Lu Zhantian stood up and flew away without any hesitation. He didn’t even make arrangements for the two young ladies.
Beauties should be taken care of. However, when Lu Li was angry, even Lu Zhantian’s father would be unable to fend for himself, let alone Lu Zhantian. Currently, Lu Li’s status in the Lu Family was higher than Lu Zhengyang’s. One word from Lu Li could end Lu Zhantian’s family…
After Lu Zhantian left, Lu Li went to the two young ladies and said, “Nice to meet you. This is a shame of our family. Please forgive us.”
“Ha, ha~”
The one in a green dress smiled a sweet smile and replied, “It is okay. As a matter of fact, we are the ones that have disturbed you. Our fathers are at the City of Mystic Armor talking business. We were bored so we asked Young Master Zhantian to show us around. Well, we are going to stay here for a couple of days. Will that be okay for you, Young Master Li? My name is Yin Qingzhu. I am from the Palace of Immortal’s Inquiry. My father is Yin TIanhao. He once met you at the Mountain of Buddhas.”
“Yin Qingzhu?”
Lu Li zoned out for a moment. He remembered that astonishing lady, a blind girl, Yin Qingsi.
The names were so similar. Would he ever see Yin Qingsi again in his life? He was greatly indebted to that blind girl…
“Yin Tianhao?”
Lu Li remembered. Yin Tianhao should be the son of the master of Palace of Immortal’s Inquiries. Then this young lady was from that family.
The other pink-dressed girl curtsied again and said, “I am Chen Zihan. My grandpa is Chen Tianjiao.”
“A lady from the Red Lunar.”
Lu Li nodded and gave a lukewarm reply, “If you want to stay here, be our guest. You have come far from home. Liu, treat the two ladies well.”
“Thank you, Young Master Li.”
The two young ladies were very sensible. They left with Liu without lingering around Lu Li. He went back to his fishing and cultivating.
Why would the two young ladies stay here? Lu Li knew too well. They wanted to cotton up to him so, that the Palace of Immortal’s Inquiries and the Red Lunar could gain benefits. Maybe, they wanted to talk Lu Li out of invading these two places or maybe… they wanted to seduce him.
This was a nice place. Lu Li wanted to stay here longer so he took his mind off the two young ladies. He didn’t believe that they would be so brazened as to climb to his bed on their own.
As Lu Li cultivated, he studied the line diagram further. He had made some progress on the second small diagram. What was more, he was trying to use Xuan Energy to dissolve the Wicked Bead. The second layer of seal could be dissolved, but it was going very… slowly.
Lu Li reckoned it would take him at least two years to dissolve the second seal of the Wicked Bead.
But it was because cultivating in this place was slow. If he were at the Inferno and making his best effort with no rest, he could dissolve the second seal in a bit over one year. In the Inferno, cultivation could move along rapidly. The speed of study was elevated there as well…
It was a pity that Lu Li could not return to the Inferno now. He could only leave after the Central Plains was completely stabilized. Otherwise, he would have to go back and forth in case anything happened.
There were fishes swallowing baits, but Lu Li turned a blind eye. It was his state of mind that he was training with fishing, not fish itself. If he wanted to catch any, he could simply slap the water and he could capture hundreds.
In cultivation, he rarely noticed the passage of time. Soon, night fell. Lu Li stood up and walked toward his yard. He came here mainly for rest and relaxation. He was in no rush to progress in cultivation.
“Ha, ha, ha~”
He was about to go back to his room to sleep when he suddenly heard girls giggling and some sounds of water splashing.
Lu Li looked through the window to the yard next door, out of instinct. What came to his sight was quite sexy…
Under the moonlight, the window next door was open with a thin curtain. Faintly, Lu Li could see a bathtub in the room. The two pretty girls were bathing in one bathtub. They were splashing water at one another. Both were grinning from ear to ear, trembling as they laugh. Lu Li could see everything…
“They are too bold…”
Lu Li was speechless. The two young ladies knew very well that they were close to Lu Li’s room and yet, they kept the window open and laughed so loudly. They were definitely trying to lure him over.
What was more, their rooms both had Inhibition Formations. The two ladies bathing without activating theirs delivered a clear message.
They were seducing Lu Li. If he had gone to their room like this, the two young ladies would climb to his bed shyly, without him forcing them.
“Crack~”
Lu Li closed the window soon. The two young ladies were lovely, but Lu Li was a man with a strong will. He would never be interested in someone so slutty, as to proactively seduce him.
“Alas..”
As Lu Li closed his window, the two young ladies stopped. There were traces of bitterness and shame in both of their eyes.
They had tried to seduce Lu Li with no regard for their honor. However, Lu Li gave them the cold shoulder.
