Everyone would have a clear purpose in their actions. They would not do something without a reason, unless that person was out of his mind.
Yuan Lingyun was not out of her mind. She was an extremely intelligent girl.
Such a person naturally had her own reasons for doing things, and naturally had her own demands.
She was the most likely candidate for the position of Goddess. Lu Li had taken her place. Even if she was not filled with hatred and hostility, she would not try to be friendly to Lu Li again and again.
Lu Li was the Chosen One, but he had no power. He could not compete with the patriarchs. Yuan Lingyun was not the kind of girl who would lose her mind whenever she saw a man.
She was always surrounded by a group of outstanding men. She might not be immune to men, but at least, she would not let go of her modesty and flirt with them.
If so, why would Yuan Lingyun take the initiative to flirt with Lu Li again and again? She even did something as indecent as wetting her clothes with wine? She must have a purpose.
What did Yuan Lingyun want about Lu Li?
Only the Chosen One. Yuan Lingyun came from a humble background. She had made it this far by relying on her hard work and ambition.
She was liked by the patriarchs and was accepted as a protégé by the Chief Patriarch. She must have great ambitions. Maybe, she wanted to be like Luo Feiyan.
The position of the Son of God was the most important step for Yuan Lingyun to become a carp leaping through the dragon's gate. Once she got it, she would be on equal footing with Su Yueqin and would become one of the most dazzling pearls in the entire Devil Sea.
If Tan Long and Ning Ao got the position, she might give it up. But Lu Li, an outsider, came out of nowhere, which gave her some ideas. That was why she did what she did tonight.
Lu Li had been through too much. He was not good at scheming, but he had seen through many things.
Any scheme would eventually lead to the end. It was easy to tell what Yuan Lingyun was thinking when she saw through her desire.
Hearing Lu Li's words, Yuan Lingyun's jar of wine trembled. Her blush became more vivid. She closed her eyes and her chest was heaving.
Clearly, Lu Li's words had struck her heart and she was flustered.
However, she recovered very quickly. In just a moment, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips again. She turned her head slightly and said, "Divine Son, is what you said true?
Since you don't want to sit on this seat, why did you sit on it? "
"I don't want to tell you the reason!"
Lu Li said indifferently. He would not tell Yuan Lingyun that he was implanted with the Mysterious Heaven Talisman and was forced to join the Luo Sha Palace.
He pondered for a moment before revealing an evil smile, "Miss Ling Yun, if you want the position of the Deity, as long as you have a good idea, I will cooperate with you anytime. However, I have one condition!"
"Conditions?" Yuan Lingyun was startled. She opened her eyes and asked, "What conditions?"
"One night!"
Lu Li grinned and said, "Stay with me for one night. Just one night. What do you say?"
Yuan Lingyun's pretty face turned cold. She could not suppress the killing intent in her eyes. Virginity was very important to her. If she were not a virgin, she would lose the halo of holiness and she would not be a goddess sought after by many young masters. How could Lu Li want that?
She trembled and closed her eyes again. She seemed to be struggling inside, wondering which was more important, the position of the Deity or her virginity.
Lu Li was intrigued. The only appreciation he had for Yuan Lingyun was gone. He was disappointed that this girl would struggle with this.
Once a girl lost her self-respect and tried to gain benefits with her body, she would lose her dignity and heart. In the end, her achievements would be limited.
Yuan Lingyun thought about it for the time for more than a dozen breaths. Finally, she made up her mind and said, "Can you … change the condition?"
"Ha, ha!"
Lu Li put on a mocking smile. He laughed and said, "I am just kidding. I am not interested in your body.
Like you said before, you go and find a way. If it is feasible, I will cooperate with you. I don't want the position of Deity.
But I have to remind you that Master is not so easy to fool. Don't do anything without a good plan. Well … don't play tricks on me. I don't want to be your enemy. "
Yuan Lingyun's cheeks were burning. She felt shy, as if she was being toyed with by Lu Li. But soon, she put it down. She stood up and walked toward the base camp.
After a few steps, she looked back at Lu Li. She was taken aback when she saw the meaningful smile on Lu Li's face.
For the first time, she was afraid of Lu Li. It was as if she had become a naked, weak girl in front of Lu Li, unable to hide any secrets. She could not resist and was at his mercy.
"Ha, ha!"
Lu Li smiled. He closed his eyes and went back to cultivation.
Presumably, after today, Yuan Lingyun wouldn't dare to use crafty plots against him anymore, right?
As for giving up the position of Deity, Lu Li didn't mind. If he was no longer the Deity, fewer people would pay attention to him. It would be easier for him to crack the Mysterious Heaven Talisman and leave.
However, Lu Li didn't think Yuan Lingyun had the ability. To remove him from the Deity's position, Luo Feiyan must agree.
Luo Feiyan had just accepted Lu Li as the Deity's position. How could he remove it in a short time?
Wouldn't that be like slapping himself in the face?
Luo Feiyan was a man of his own mind since he had conquered the Palace of Rakshasa all by himself and defeated a group of old demons.
Not even the three Great Patriarchs could change Luo Feiyan's mind.
Unless Lu Li did something to humiliate the Palace of Rakshasa. Lu Li was not that stupid.
If he did something like that, he would anger Luo Feiyan and he would lose his life.
Lu Li continued to cultivate. He had been studying the Dragon Skill for a long time, but he still could not make the last step. This was a headache for him.
He didn't want to be stuck in this bottleneck for dozens or hundreds of years. That would be depressing.
It was a quiet night. The next day, they moved on. This time, they would be out for at least a month or two. There were too many demons and beasts. They had to kill most of them, if not all of them.
For a period of time after that, it was the same as before. Patriarch Shi led the team and the others.
They also ran into Fire Ants, but Patriarch Shi killed most of them in person. The rest were dealt with by the others.
They were said to be on a mission, but in fact, it was training. With Patriarch Shi in command, the worst that could happen to them was injuries. Nobody died.
Lu Li had been playing with his flying sword. After a while, he felt that the flying sword was like an extension of his body. It was getting more and more flexible and smooth in his hands.
The relationship between those people and Lu Li never eased up. There was a clear division between them. Lu Li wandered around the periphery by himself, looking out of place.
Patriarch Shi was helpless in this situation. He didn't bother to mediate either. As long as the two sides didn't fight, he didn't care about the rest.
On the 18th day.
The peace was finally broken. Lu Li and the others were unlucky. They ran into a King of Ghost Fire.
