Cao Qijian and the others were killed and the Snow Cloud Hall was leveled to the ground. This caused a sensation in the north.
Cao Family was not the absolute overlord of the north but it was still one of them. Their Family Patriarch was a supreme warrior in the Divinity.
Disciples of the immediate family and a super mighty patriarch were murdered. This was a slap on the face of the Cao Family. All the Cao Family members were enraged.
Cao Family Patriarch was enraged. More than a dozen patriarchs went to the Snow Cloud Hall to investigate.
All the low-grade martial artists that escaped that day had been found. However … after investigating for several days, the information obtained was very limited.
They only had a rough idea of Lu Li's appearance and a girl in a mask. Both of them seemed to be mighty warriors in the Divinity.
When Lu Li's portrait was drawn, the intelligence department of the Cao Family acted immediately. However, they found nothing.
The intelligence department compared the portraits of the young warriors in the Divinity. None of them matched Lu Li's appearance after he changed his appearance.
Chi Xi-er was taken in. She did not say anything or do anything.
Therefore, the Cao Family targeted Lu Li. They mobilized many people and resources. Carrying Lu Li's portrait, they cast a net in the north to search for him.
Lu Li had teleported for over a hundred times. He had arrived at the east of the Divinity.
He was sure that he was safe. He took Chi Xi-er to a big city to rest.
The city was prosperous. There were all kinds of shops, pubs, teahouses and places to have fun. After Chi Xi-er rested for half a day, she took Lu Li on a tour around the city.
They bought many small items that Lu Li thought were meaningless.
Lu Li was not in need of Divine Sources. He had several billion Divine Sources with him.
Therefore, as soon as Chi Xi-er showed that she liked something, Lu Li bought it for her at once.
He had even bought her many beautiful dresses and a lot of food. He had even brought her to a top-notch restaurant for a meal …
After a day in the city, Chi Xi-er went back to the tavern with Lu Li, feeling satisfied.
She was filled with happiness. When Lu Li sent her back to their room, she suddenly took his hands and said, "Brother, this is the happiest day I've ever had. Thank you!"
"Don't say thank you."
Lu Li patted Chi Xi-er's head and said gently, "I am useless. I cannot give you a peaceful life. You have to live in fear every day …"
"No!"
Chi Xi-er suddenly put a finger on Lu Li's mouth and said, "Brother, I won't allow you to say that.
You don't have any obligation to help me. If it weren't for you, I don't know if I would have the courage to live.
Big Brother has given me a lot, but I haven't given him any help. If someone has to apologize, it should be Xi 'er! "
"Alright, let's not talk about this!"
Lu Li smiled and said, "Since I'm your brother, I should do whatever I want.
In the future, I will also work hard to make your life better.
I will find a chance to kill Yue Ying and avenge your father. "
"En, I believe in you!"
Chi Xi 'er nodded heavily. Then, her eyes suddenly turned gentle. She blushed and bravely said, "Brother, you said I was still young in the past. Am I still … young now?"
As she spoke, Chi Xi 'er puffed out her chest. If it had been a small lotus before, it was now quite large.
Lu Li glanced at her out of instinct. His heart skipped a beat when he saw Chi Xi-er's rosy cheeks.
A shy smile from a young girl and a tender look in her eyes were the most touching scenery. Lu Li was a normal man. How could he stay calm?
But Lu Li had enemies all over the world. How could he be in the mood to talk about love?
Chi Xi-er was a good girl and he had always seen her as a younger sister. Therefore, he could not change his mind.
He could die at any time and Chi Xi-er would be a burden for the rest of her life.
Therefore, after some thoughts, he made up his mind and said, "Xi-er, you don't have much contact with the outside world. There are many outstanding men in the world who are more suitable for you than me.
I think you should get to know them more and give yourself more choices.
You don't have much life experience. Maybe you can't even differentiate like, rely on, and love.
Don't make decisions blindly. You need to give yourself more time and choices. "
"No!"
Chi Xi-er's eyes reddened. Her pretty face was filled with stubbornness. She looked up at Lu Li and said, "Brother, I have thought it through. So what if there are millions of outstanding men in the world?
As far as I am concerned, you are the best man in the world.
There is a difference between like, rely on, and love. But I am sure that what I feel for you is love, the purest love.
If I lose you, or if you don't want me anymore, I think … I will die. I will be like a flower without soil. I will wither and eventually, I will become a pile of dirt … "
"Brother, take Xi 'er!"
Chi Xi-er suddenly hugged Lu Li and said seriously, "I am not a kid anymore. I know very well that the love between a man and a woman is different from that between a brother and a sister.
Xi 'er likes you and loves you. You're my ideal husband. You're worthy of Xi' er's love. Brother … "
Tears ran down from Chi Xi-er's pretty face. She looked so pitiful, like a puppy being abandoned by its owner. Even Lu Li's heart of stone would soften.
He thought for a while and reached out to wipe away Chi Xi 'er's tears. Then, he gently kissed her forehead and said seriously, "How about this, Xi' er, I'll give you three years and you give me three years.
If you haven't changed your mind in three years and I can change you from a sister to a brother, I will take you. "
"Three years?"
Chi Xi-er was disappointed. Soon, she nodded with determination and said, "Okay, I will wait.
As long as you want me, I will wait for 30 years! "
"Silly girl!"
Lu Li's heart was soft and peaceful.
All these years, he had been suffering, tired and exhausted.
Men were not made of iron. They needed rest and release pressure.
Chi Xi-er was like the purest land, the most gentle harbor. She could comfort Lu Li's heart no matter how tired he was.
"Brother, can you stay for the night?"
Chi Xi-er suddenly made a request. Then she blushed as if she was afraid that Lu Li would misunderstand. She said in a low voice, "I just want you to sleep with me in your arms. I don't want anything else."
"Okay!"
Lu Li didn't have the heart to say no. He knew that Chi Xi-er lacked a sense of security and he was confident in his self-control.
That night, Lu Li spent the night in Chi Xi-er's room.
They lay on the bed and did nothing. Lu Li held Chi Xi-er in his arms and she soon fell asleep. She looked peaceful and there was a sweet smile on her face.
She was like a little girl in her parents' arms, sleeping soundly and comfortably.
Smelling the fragrance of a young girl from Chi Xi-er, Lu Li slowly fell asleep. He knew that this was a rare moment of peace and he must cherish it.
He could not predict what would happen next. Maybe the days of peace would be fewer and fewer and the challenges would be greater …
…
