Bai Xiashuang was enraged as soon as Lu Li lost his temper. She stared at Lu Li.
Lu Li had always been a man who could be persuaded by reason but not cowed by force. If Bai Xiashuang wanted to take the blame, he would not build a cabin for her.
The other young ladies had come over in high spirits. They were worried to see this.
They had experienced Lu Li's temper. If he were to go on like this, they would have to sleep on the ground again.
Lu Li was wearing the Ghost Mask. His eyes were cold, giving him a ferocious look. Bai Xiashuang looked at him for a while. Her eyes became misty. She lowered her head and said in a sobbing tone, "I just kicked her.
Why are you so mean?
You are a man. Do you only know how to bully girls? "
Lu Li was at his wit's end when Bai Xiashuang cried. His eyes softened. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't cry. I will build for you.
But you have to help me. I cannot build so many cabins by myself. "
Bai Xiashuang smiled through her tears. She nodded and said, "Okay, okay, we will help you. You must build us some nice cabins."
So many people had gone to search for the exit but none of them had found it. It would be hard to find the exit in a short time. They had to take their time.
Naturally, the young ladies wanted to eat and live well. It didn't matter if they could find treasures or not. They were out on a trip.
The young ladies were eager to help but the more they helped, the more complicated it became. Lu Li asked them to do the simplest things and he began to work on his own.
As the beautiful wooden huts were erected, the group of young ladies were extremely excited, and their faces were filled with bright smiles.
They were looking for flowers and plants to decorate the cabins. Their bell-like laughter resounded in the wild.
Bai Qiuxue was attracted over. She was grateful that Lu Li built her a cabin. She smiled at Lu Li without saying anything and continued to look for traps and exits.
Bai Qiuxue left. Zi Lian came with four or five young ladies.
She washed up and put on a green dress. She used a purple hairpin to tie up her hair. She held a white jade flute in her hand. She was so beautiful that only Bai Xiashuang could compare with her.
Lu Li was still building the cabin with the mask on. Zi Lian and Bai Xiashuang exchanged some pleasantries. Then, she walked to Lu Li, bowed and said, "Thank you for the meat. I am here to express my gratitude."
Lu Li looked back at Zi Lian. Looking at the beautiful lady in front of him, he remembered the scene when he met her at the Frigid Cloud Mountain. He was in a trance and forgot to reply.
Bai Xiashuang was unhappy to see that Lu Li was staring at Zi Lian. She cleared her throat and said, "Lu Li, why don't you say something?"
Lu Li came back to his senses at once. He turned to Bai Xiashuang. He had told Bai Qiuxue not to call him by his real name, but she had forgotten.
"Lu Li?"
Zi Lian's eyes glowed. She took a closer look at Lu Li. The more she looked at him, the more she thought he was Lu Li. She looked at the mask on Lu Li's face and said with a smile, "Young Master Lu Li, we are old friends. Can't you show me your real face?"
Zi Lian actually knew him?
Lu Li was surprised. Then he took off his mask and said with a bitter smile, "Greetings, Lady Zi."
Zi Lian was in a trance when she saw Lu Li's face. She remembered the rainy night at the Wu Ling County, how Lu Li killed Patriarch Qing who was at the latter stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, and how Lu Li's sister was reborn …
She sighed when she saw Lu Li walking with warriors of the Thousand-island Lake and how he had reached the latter stage of the Spirit Sea Realm so quickly.
Zi Lian didn't say anything. She didn't mention that she was watching the fight at the Wu Ling County that night. She just glanced over the cabin and said, "Young Master Lu, your cabin is very beautiful. Can you build one for me?"
Lu Li had a good impression of this Zi Lian. That day at the Frigid Cloud Mountain, Zi Lian reminded him to be careful.
Even though it was just one sentence, Lu Li felt Zi Lian was like a fairy from heaven. Their identities and statuses were far apart. Lu Li was grateful for this.
He nodded without any hesitation and said, "It is my honor to be of service to you, Lady Zi."
"Hmm!"
Bai Xiashuang was unhappy to see Lu Li like this.
Zi Lian was the pearl of the Heaven Martial Kingdom, but Bai Xiashuang was the pearl of the Thousand-island Lake. Bai Xiashuang believed that her status and looks were not inferior to Zi Lian's. Why was there such a big difference in treatment?
Bai Xiashuang was frank and straightforward. She said what was on her mind. She mumbled, "Lu Li, you promised us first. How can you help an outsider without helping us first?"
The word "outsider" made the ladies on Zi Lian's side unfriendly.
Zi Lian's expressions didn't change. She looked at Bai Xiashuang with a smile and said, "Lady Shuang, you are wrong. Lu Li was born in the Wu Ling County of the Heaven Martial Kingdom. He is a man of the Heaven Martial Kingdom. How can he be an outsider to us?"
"Hmm!"
Bai Xiashuang was even more unhappy. Her tone was even more unfriendly. Not to be outdone, she said, "Lu Li is the Island Owner of the Thousand-island Lake now. The fact that he can enter the Thousand-island Lake means that the Heaven Martial Kingdom is not friendly to Lu Li.
He can't stay at the Heaven Martial Kingdom anymore so he has to come to the Thousand-island Lake. "
Lu Li was troubled. He was caught in the middle of the quarrel between the two ladies. He cupped his fists and said, "Ladies, if you go on like this, I don't think the cabin can be finished in a couple of days.
Lady Zi, please go back now. When it is done, I will go over. Is that okay? "
Zi Lian smiled gently. She bowed and left with the ladies. After Zi Lian left, Bai Xiashuang stared at Lu Li and said, "Lu Li, you are a man of the Thousand-island Lake. You cannot hook up with young ladies from the outside."
"…"
Lu Li rolled his eyes and said bluntly, "I cannot hook up with young ladies from the outside. Should I hook up with you?"
"Bah, dirty!"
Bai Xiashuang blushed. She was so ashamed that she stomped on the ground and ran away like a gust of wind.
Lu Li laughed out loud. The young ladies nearby were embarrassed as well. They didn't help him and left with Bai Xiashuang.
The only one that stayed was Xu Fangfei. She wanted to say something but stopped on second thought, which aroused Lu Li's curiosity. He asked, "Lady Xu, why don't you go with them?
Do you want me to hook up with them? "
"Bah ~"
Xu Fangfei spat with a blushed face. Then she said while clenching her teeth, "Lu Li, don't get carried away with your wishful thinking. You cannot marry Lady Shuang and Lady Xue based on your identity. You better give it up.
Otherwise, if you incur public anger, the Xu Family will not be able to protect the Blood Evil Island. "
"Identity?
Ha, ha! "
Lu Li smiled lightly. If he told others that he was a disciple of the Lu Family, then it would be Bai Xiashuang's turn to be unworthy of him.
That being said, he didn't overthink it. He didn't want to get himself into trouble. He thought about it and found Xu Fangfei's words made sense.
Bai Xiashuang and Bai Qiuxue were the goddesses to the young masters of the Thousand-island Lake. If he was too close to the two goddesses, there would be endless troubles after he left the Tomb of the Dragon King and the Blood Evil Island.
He looked at Xu Fangfei. Suddenly, he put on an evil smile and said, "Lady Xu, don't overthink it. I don't have any thoughts about the two young ladies. There is only one person I admire the most."
"Who?"
Xu Fangfei asked with curiosity. She thought about Lu Li's attitude towards Zi Lian. Could it be that Lu Li liked Zi Lian?
Lu Li smiled mysteriously. He glanced over to Xu Fangfei and said, "That girl is as beautiful as a fairy. She can outshine the moon and put flowers to shame. Her name is Xu Fangfei."
"Bah!"
Xu Fangfei saw the ridicule in Lu Li's eyes. How could she not know that Lu Li was flirting with her? She spat on the ground angrily and left in strides.
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Lu Li laughed. In his mind, for some reason, Lu Ling's beautiful face appeared.
