Soon, the chaos at the Thousand-island Lake died down. Powerful warriors of the three kingdoms all gave orders and the armies retreated at once.
The big shots of all the kingdoms had given strict orders that anyone who dared to kill another warrior of the Thousand-island Lake or take another Xuan Crystal would be killed without mercy.
Du Zheng was on Lu Li's side. The powerful warriors Lu Li had could suppress all the forces at the Northern Desert.
Who would dare to act recklessly now?
What if Lu Li was so enraged that he would go to the Royal City and destroy the three kingdoms?
Madam Yan sent an army of warriors to take over the occupied territories. However, there was nothing left to take over.
Many cities had been razed to the ground, and all the good stuff had been looted. Even the herbs in the fields had been plucked clean.
Many families of the Thousand-island Lake led their teams to hunt down the enemies. The Thousand-island Lake had lost so many warriors. Now that they had won a great victory, they naturally wanted to pursue the enemies.
Madam Yan didn't mind the pursuing troops. She just told them not to go out of the Thousand-island Lake.
Too many died at the Thousand-island Lake. It would be good for them to vent their anger.
Lu Li didn't go to the Bai Emperor Mountain after he left the auction house. Instead, he went back to the God-down Island directly.
He was afraid to meet Madam Yan, Bai Qiuxue, and Bai Xiashuang.
Du Zheng had given Lu Li a generous gift. As long as Lu Li wanted it, he could become the king of the Thousand-island Lake at once, unify the Northern Desert and become the new emperor.
Unfortunately …
Du Zheng didn't know Lu Li. This was not the right way to give a gift.
Not only did Lu Li not appreciate it, but he also had some resistance towards people like Du Zheng.
For the sake of profit, he did not hesitate to drag so many innocent people down with him. This person was a lunatic.
It was undeniable!
Lu Li had indeed become the savior and patron saint of the Thousand-island Lake, the uncrowned king. Only Lu Li had the power to protect the Thousand-island Lake.
As long as Lu Li was alive, the three Royal Families would never dare to attack the Thousand-island Lake. Lu Li would become the second Old Man of Heaven Prison.
Only a few people knew the truth. Many only had their doubts. On the surface, it seemed that Lu Li had turned the tide, defeated the powerful warriors of the three kingdoms and saved the Thousand-island Lake.
The news spread like snowflakes. Lu Li's name was heard across the entire Thousand-island Lake.
Some of the survivors began to set up tablets for Lu Li and worshiped him day and night.
…
The army came and left in a hurry!
In merely 10 days, all the invading armies retreated. All the islands of the Thousand-island Lake were recovered.
The wounded began to be treated and the dead were buried. Many parts of the Qianhu Island that had been dyed red became clear again.
Peace was restored at the Thousand-island Lake. However, many people were gone. The power structure of the Thousand-island Lake was broken.
Some of the families that originally occupied the Rank 4 Islands had lost too many experts, so they no longer had the strength to intimidate everyone. It was inevitable that they would be coveted by others.
Although no one dared to make a move for the time being, it was only a matter of time before the other families snatched it away.
The Bai Emperor Mountain was quiet. There seemed to be fewer people in the Heaven Prison City.
The most lively place was the God-down City. All the Family Patriarchs and leaders of forces of the Thousand-island Lake were here to pay their respects to the uncrowned king of the Thousand-island Lake.
Lu Li asked Liu Yi and Patriarch Nine to entertain them. If worse came to worst, he could ask Yu Huashen to do it.
He stayed alone in the backyard for ten days, but he still couldn't figure out how to meet Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang.
On the eleventh day, a special guest came to the God-down City. It was Madam Yan.
Lu Li had to meet her. He asked Liu Yi to bring Madam Yan to the backyard and meet her in a side chamber.
Ming Yu stood behind Lu Li, still wearing the Ghost Mask.
Madam Yan was not as haggard as she was the other day. She wore a black dress, two strings of black beads on her ears and a black pearl necklace on her neck. The necklace contrasted with her fair skin, making her look cold and elegant.
Madam Yan came alone. She bowed to Lu Li and said with respect, "I am Bai Yan. Greetings, Young Master Lu."
She was behaving like a servant meeting a superior. Lu Li touched his nose in embarrassment and said, "Madam, please take a seat. Someone, serve some tea."
The maids served the tea. Madam Yan didn't drink it. She looked at Ming Yu and said, "Young Master Lu, can I have a word with you in private?"
Ming Yu looked at Lu Li coldly with killing intent. Lu Li waved his hand and said, "Ming Yu, you can leave now."
Ming Yu gave Madam Yan a look of warning and then he flashed away.
Lu Li felt even more embarrassed. He coughed and said, "Madam, how is the Bai Emperor Mountain?
Are the other places of the Thousand-island Lake under control? "
"Thanks to you, Young Master Lu, the Bai Emperor Mountain is doing well!"
Madam Yan nodded. Then she said with jealousy, "As for … the other places of the Thousand-island Lake, Young Master Lu, I think you know it better than me.
Those Island Owners and Family Patriarchs come to you every day. There should be dozens of them outside right now. "
Lu Li could tell the jealousy in Madam Yan's words and he knew what she was trying to say.
The Bai Family used to be the Overlord of the Thousand-island Lake. Now, nobody went to the Bai Emperor Mountain. They went to the God-down City every day.
The Overlord of the Thousand-island Lake had changed. It was understandable that Madam Yan was jealous and bitter.
Lu Li said in a serious tone after a moment of silence, "Madam, you don't have to force me with words.
I have never wanted to be the overlord. The Thousand-island Lake still belongs to the Bai Family.
Soon, I will leave, not the Thousand-island Lake, but the Northern Desert. Maybe … I will never come back. "
If it were not for Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang, Lu Li would have sent the Liu Family to the small world and asked Ming Yu to take them to the Central Plains.
He wanted to find the Lu Family and get Lu Ling back from the Cyan Plains.
His mind was not on the Thousand-island Lake, nor did he want to be the Overlord here.
Therefore, Du Zheng's generous gift was not the right one.
Lu Li did not know how far he would go to the Central Plains and what kind of dangers he would encounter.
Not only did he want to go to the Central Plains, he wanted to go to the Cyan Plains as well.
Maybe he would die on the way. That was why there was a saying that he would never come back.
"You are leaving?"
Madam Yan was taken aback and then she panicked. She said seriously, "Lu Li, you cannot leave.
I was just kidding. How can the Bai Family be the Overlord of the Thousand-island Lake in such a situation?
You must be the Overlord. "
It was true that Madam Yan was angry and sad. But Lu Li's departure was not a joke.
Without Lu Li, the Bai Family could not protect the Thousand-island Lake.
"I don't care so much!"
Lu Li said with determination, "Let the Families of the Thousand-island Lake deal with the matters of the Thousand-island Lake by yourselves.
I can take care of you once, but not forever.
I have my own business. I must go to the Central Plains. "
Looking at Lu Li's expression, Madam Yan panicked. Lu Li was not being angry with her. He really wanted to leave …
She didn't want to linger in a small world for the rest of her life, nor did she want to experience the battle of the Bai Emperor Mountain again.
She got up and walked to Lu Li. She got down on one knee in front of Lu Li, looked up and said, "Young Master Lu, I am sorry.
Now, on behalf of the Bai Family, I swear allegiance to you. From now on, you are the Master of the Bai Family.
The Bai Family will not disobey your orders. I … will not disobey you either. "
Madam Yan was on her knees, so her collar was open.
Lu Li looked down from above. He could see Madam Yan's beautiful face and the faintly discernible view of her breasts.
"Not disobey me?"
This sentence had a deep meaning and was very ambiguous.
Looking at Madam Yan's eyes, Lu Li was sure of one thing. As long as he gave the order, Madam Yan would take off her dress and let him do whatever he wanted …
Circumstances were stronger than people. Even if Du Zheng set up the trap and killed the Old Man of Heaven Prison and Bai Xi because of Lu Li, Madam Yan dared not to show any dissatisfaction.
Her nickname was the Black Widow. She was extremely smart!
