If it was a blessing, it was not a curse. If it was a curse, he could not avoid it!
If the lady and the old man were really here to kill him, then it would be pointless for him to hide in the cabin. Warriors of the Fifth Tribulation could crack the divine patterns and kill him in an instant.
Lu Li didn't leave. Through the trace of Dao, he sensed something was not right.
There was no killing intent from the two. The lady's eyes were still blurred. She stared at the sea in the distance, lost in thought.
If the two were not afraid of the Scorching Island, then they could kill Lu Li at any time and run away as soon as possible.
If they didn't have the courage to do anything on the battleship, then what was there to be afraid of?
Lu Li figured it out. He didn't stand up and go back. Instead, he sat with his legs crossed like an old monk in meditation.
Gradually, more and more people were sitting around. But they weren't here to meditate. They would look at the lady every now and then. Most of them were young men. Clearly, they had ulterior motives.
After a while, Lu Li was relieved. Maybe the lady was not here to kill him.
She had been staring at the sea in the distance by herself. She had mixed feelings. There was reminiscence, nostalgia and sadness in her eyes.
It had to be said that this woman was very alluring, especially her misty eyes. They were like two beautiful stars that could attract the hearts of all men and make them sink into them, unable to extricate themselves.
"She is a powerful soul warrior!"
Lu Li said to himself. He tried to sense the lady's realm. Like the others, she was at the initial stage of the Fourth Tribulation and then at the later stage. He could not tell.
Lu Li sat with his legs crossed for half the night. The lady turned around and went back to her cabin.
As soon as she left, many young masters left as well.
Finally, Lu Li could calm himself down. He stared at the sea, lost in thought.
He spent the whole night gazing into the distance. Lu Li woke up at the break of dawn when the sky in the east began to brighten.
"Dawn?"
Staring at the ray of light in the distance, Lu Li's heart skipped a beat. He seemed to have grasped something. But when he tried to grab it, he couldn't.
"Continue to sit!"
Lu Li was a bit excited even though he didn't know what he was touched by.
Since he was touched, he must continue to study. There would be a break of dawn every day. There would be a chance.
Lu Li continued to sit here with his legs crossed for an entire day. At night, that Fire Rose came again. She also stood in the corner, staring into the distance in a daze.
He stood there for half the night. Fire Rose left and Lu Li quieted down again. He sat there until dawn. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and stared at the light of dawn. His heart was pounding again.
However, just like last time, Lu Li's heart stopped pounding as the sun shone down on the ground. Lu Li wanted to grab it, but he couldn't.
Lu Li was not in a hurry. He went back to his cabin to consume the elixir. When night fell, he went back to the deck.
Fire Rose came as well. She stayed for half the night before leaving. Lu Li sat with his legs crossed, waiting for the break of dawn.
On the third day, he still couldn't grasp that feeling. On the fourth day, the fifth day, the sixth day …
Almost every day was the same. During the day, Lu Li would consume the pellets and at night, he would go to the deck.
Every day, he would be at the left corner of the deck, while the Fire Rose would be at the right corner.
Half a month later!
Lu Li almost wanted to give up. He couldn't get it for half a month, maybe never. Every night felt like a waste of time.
On the 16th day, that Fire Rose didn't leave in the middle of the night. She just sat there. Lu Li didn't notice her.
These days, Fire Rose came every day but Lu Li didn't even look at her.
Whether this woman was here to kill him or not, Lu Li didn't want to have too much contact with her.
Beauty was a source of trouble. He couldn't even protect himself now. How could he be in the mood to hook up with a pretty girl?
Not to mention that this pretty girl was so powerful and she seemed to be of noble status. She was not someone he could hook up with.
It was getting late at night, and there were fewer people on the deck. During this period of time, there were fewer people surrounding Fire Rose.
Perhaps they all understood that it was impossible for them to woo such a peerless beauty.
The girl didn't talk to anyone. She was smiling on the outside but inside, she was cold.
Even though many people were around her, they were just trying to catch a glimpse of her.
There were only three men on the deck. One was Lu Li and the other two were young masters. They were talented and handsome. One of them was at the later stage of the Fourth Tribulation and the other at the middle stage.
Their temperament was good as well. They must be young masters of big families.
One of them was cultivating nearby and the other was drinking on the deck with a jug of wine in his hand. He was acting like a playboy, trying to attract Fire Rose's attention.
However, Fire Rose only glanced at him from the beginning to the end. He was so depressed that he drank for the whole night.
Lu Li opened his eyes before dawn. He stared at the east. His entire being was attracted by the eastern sky. At this moment, he wouldn't even notice if someone were to attack him.
There was a ray of light coming from the east. Lu Li's heart was pounding again, just like before.
That being said, when he tried to trace it and explore it, he couldn't find the core. It was as if there was a paper window that prevented him from seeing the real secret.
"Buzzing ~"
Right at that moment, Fire Rose, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly waved her hand. The surface of the sea trembled. Then a drop of water floated up and came into Lu Li's sight.
The drop of water flew between Lu Li and the ray of light. The ray of light went through the drop of water and dispersed.
At that moment, Lu Li felt the entire world was lit up. His pupils contracted and then he opened his eyes abruptly. His eyes were filled with the glare.
"I get it. I finally get it!"
Lu Li was overjoyed. At that moment, he had grasped the thread of movement in his heart. He felt enlightened and he had grasped the core.
At that moment, he understood — the day when he mastered the Dragon Reading Skill was not far away. He was absolutely confident that he could master the Dragon Reading Skill.
He closed his eyes to digest for a moment. When he was sure that nothing would go wrong, he opened his eyes and looked at the beautiful lady in the corner.
Even though he was attracted by the ray of light, he had been using the trace of Dao. Naturally, he could sense what Fire Rose was doing.
He was well aware that the reason why he could understand the Dragon Reading Skill was all thanks to this beautiful lady.
She just waved her sleeve and splashed up a small drop of water, but it had solved a big problem for him.
It was not until now that Lu Li was completely sure that this lady was not here to assassinate him.
She just did something casually, but it had solved a problem that had been bothering him for a long time. This lady was more powerful than he could imagine.
For someone so powerful, killing him would be as easy as killing an ant. Why would she try to assassinate him?
Lu Li strode over, bowed with respect and said, "Thank you, Lady Qi, for your guidance. I am grateful!"
