"Lu Li, how come you are here?
Do you miss me after not seeing me for a while? "Jiang Qiling tilted her head and asked Lu Li, not caring that Jiang Hong and Ming Yu were here.
"Yes!"
Lu Li felt sorry for Jiang Qiling when he saw how lonely she was.
He patted her hair out of instinct and said, "I heard that you failed to reach the Noble Lord Realm and you were injured?
I am here to see you. I am relieved to see that you are so lively and you can drink. "
Lu Li patted her hair subconsciously as if she was his sister.
But the smile on Jiang Qiling's face froze and she froze.
Then, she didn't move away. Her foxy eyes became more curved and she smiled again.
She twitched her pretty nose and said, "I am too impatient and careless. Hmm, when I am healed, I will try again. I will reach the Noble Lord Realm for sure."
"Take it easy!"
Lu Li said with a light smile, "Cultivation is like eating. You will be stuffed if you eat too much. You must eat bit by bit.
You are still young. As long as you work hard, you will stand at the peak of the Central Plains. "
"Ha, ha ~"
Jiang Qiling became more energetic and excited after Lu Li came. She stuck her tongue out and said, "Come, let's go to the Pavilion of Fairies with me. Let's have a drink."
Jiang Hong stopped her and said, "Lady, that is your boudoir. You cannot bring any man in. If the Family Patriarch knows …"
Jiang Hong sighed and said it was troublesome because he found out that Jiang Qiling had fallen in love with Lu Li.
If Lu Li were not exiled from the Lu Family, this might be a happy ending.
But Lu Li was abandoned by the Lu Family. If he were to be with Jiang Qiling, Jiang Qiling's father would be furious.
Jiang Family Patriarch only had one daughter. Either she didn't marry Lu Li or she would marry a disciple of one of the 12 Royal Families, one of the most famous young masters of the family.
Lu Li was an abandoned son. Marrying Lu Li would not only make Jiang Qiling a laughing stock, but also upset Lu Zhengtan.
It would also arouse Lu Zhengtan's dissatisfaction. At that time, the good relationship between the Lu family and the Jiang family would be destroyed.
It was fine for Jiang Qiling to see Lu Li since they were just friends.
But if she brought Lu Li to her boudoir, the Jiang Family Patriarch would hear about it. By then, Jiang Qiling would be fine, but Lu Li would be doomed …
Lu Li understood the seriousness of the matter. He nodded and said, "The Lake of Delicacy is nice. Jiang Hong, go and get some food and wine. I will go to the Lake of Delicacy with your Lady."
Jiang Qiling nodded since Lu Li said so.
Jiang Hong hurriedly steered the boat towards the island. He disembarked the boat and made arrangements. Soon, a maid came up with wine and dishes.
Jiang Hong got another boat and invited Ming Yu to it. Lu Li and Jiang Qiling could take another boat by themselves.
He knew his Miss too well. If he was an eyesore at the side, she might just kick him down.
The boat moved slowly. The cabin was filled with food and wine. The windows on both sides were open, and one could see the rippling lake water outside.
The lake breeze blew gently, bringing with it a trace of coolness, making people feel very comfortable.
The food was good and the wine was Bloody Rose. Lu Li felt like he was on fire after he drank it. But he liked the taste after a while.
A man should ride the most handsome horse, drink the strongest wine, sleep with the most beautiful women and kill the most detestable people.
This was the way to live a happy life. Only in this way could he not waste his trip to this world.
Jiang Qiling said nothing. She poured some wine for Lu Li and stared at him with a smile on her face.
It was as if Lu Li was a beauty that she could never get tired of.
"I will be honest with you!"
Lu Li didn't have time to fool around with Jiang Qiling. He said with embarrassment, "I am here to ask you to save my life. Alas … I am a man and I am ashamed to ask you, a lady, for help."
"Oh?
Lu Li, it is rare for you to ask someone for help. "
Jiang Qiling was surprised. Lu Li was a man of integrity. He wouldn't ask for help unless it was something he could overcome.
Lu Li touched his nose and said, "A Human Sovereign Realm warrior has his eyes on me. If he is at the Noble Lord Realm, I can try. But if it is a Human Sovereign Realm warrior, there is nothing I can do."
"Human Sovereign Realm warrior?"
Jiang Qiling rolled her eyes. Her eyes were like ripples in a lake, very beautiful.
She didn't know what was going on outside but she asked after some guesses, "Is it the Lu Family?
The Song Family?
The Palace of Gods? "
Jiang Qiling was smart enough to know that Lu Li only offended the Lu Family, the Song Family and the Palace of Gods. Families at the northern Central Plains wouldn't make trouble for Lu Li.
Lu Li gave her a thumbs up. Then he explained the situation and added, "Lady Qi, I have nobody to help me now. I have to ask you to help me find the Song Family Patriarch.
If you can't do it, then help me stall for half a year. After half a year, even if the Song Family Patriarch comes to the Northern Desert, I will be able to fight back. "
The Clan Patriarch and the patriarchs of the Mammoth Race should be here soon. By then, Lu Li could prepare to attack the Deserted World.
If everything went well, he could use the Human Sovereign Realm warrior of the Titan Race.
By then, even if the Song Family Patriarch came to the Northern Desert, Lu Li would be able to fight back.
"Oh?"
Jiang Qiling was surprised. In half a year, Lu Li could stop a warrior of the Human Sovereign Realm?
She looked at Lu Li with doubt but didn't ask. After a moment of silence, she said, "Lu Li, I cannot promise that I will help you kill the Song Family Patriarch. I can only say that I will try my best."
Lu Li felt touched. He knew that Jiang Qiling didn't have much power despite her identity and status.
The power was in the hands of the Family Patriarch, Jiang Wuwo and the patriarchs. How could Jiang Qiling ask Jiang Wuwo for help?
Lu Li looked at Jiang Qiling seriously and said, "Lady Qi, I owe you my life. If you need my help in the future …"
"That's enough!"
Jiang Qiling interrupted him. She rolled her eyes and said, "You are a man. Why are you so wishy-washy?
I don't need you if I want to do something. "
Lu Li touched his nose. Jiang Qiling was right. There were many powerful warriors in the Jiang Family. With Jiang Qiling's identity and status, she could mobilize many powerful warriors if she wanted to do something. Why would she need Lu Li's help?
"Lady Qi, here's to you."
Lu Li picked up his goblet, clinked it with Jiang Qiling's and drank up.
Jiang Qiling glared at him again and said, "Lady Qi?
Lu Li, if you are going to treat me like an outsider, I will not help you.
Call me Qiling or Qi-er or Ling-er … "
"…"
Lu Li was speechless. Looking into Jiang Qiling's passionate eyes, he felt embarrassed and shy. He forced a smile and said, "Okay, I will call you Qiling from now on."
"Ha, ha ~"
Jiang Qiling smiled with satisfaction. She picked up her goblet and drank up slowly.
After drinking, her flame-like lips became even redder, and her face also became slightly red. Under the illumination of the candlelight, her entire body exuded endless charm.
Lu Li wanted to leave now that his business was done. He stood up and said, "Qiling, I have something to do at the Northern Desert. I have to go now. I will come back and drink with you some other day."
"You are leaving so soon?"
There was a glint of disappointment in her eyes. She bit her lips, looked up and said, "Didn't you just say that you would do anything for me if I asked you to?
I have something I need you to do now. "
Lu Li pouted. A woman's heart was like a needle at the bottom of the sea. She just said that she could do anything for him and now she changed her mind.
But what could he do now that Jiang Qiling had said so?
He forced himself to say, "Okay, tell me. If I can do it, I will do it."
"Of course you can."
