Chapter 191: Beauty on His Back
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
After resting for six to eight hours on the peak of the mountain, Lu Li had recovered from the fatigue that came as he released his Bloodline Skill.
Ye Yuhan, Ye Longyu and Zi Lian had all come to their senses. Lu Li bluntly said that he had killed Yu Lingxu without hiding anything from them.
Of course, he didn’t say that he had killed Yu Lingxu all by himself. Instead, he mentioned that he only managed to kill him with a sneak attack after Bai Qiuxue had badly injured Yu Lingxu.
Bai Qiuxue didn’t refute. Rather, she slightly nodded to cover for Lu Li. He did not want to reveal the truth of his fighting capacity, which was understandable to Bai Qiuxue. He had helped her a lot and saved her life. To cover for him was just a piece of cake.
Ye Yuhan and Ye Longyu thanked Lu Li and Bai Qiuxue with gratefulness. However, Zi Lian was concerned as she clearly knew the status of Yu Lingxu in the Yu Family.
Since Yu Lingxu was dead, and Lu Li was the last person who saw him alive, the Yu Family would not let Lu Li go easily. It was possible that some powerful warriors of the Yu Family were now making their way to the Cliff of Purgatory.
"Island Owner Lu, did the Coffin of Dragon King really fly away?"
Ye Longyu asked as he found it hard to believe fully after Lu Li explained what had happened. Ye Longyu even threw a look at Lu Li’s Interspatial Ring out of instinct.
"Ye Longyu, what is the meaning of your action?"
Bai Qiuxue stared at him and scolded him coldly, "Are you doubting that Lu Li has gotten the hidden treasures of Dragon King? We personally saw that the Ancient Coffin flew away. What is more… Lu Li has saved your life. Even if he had acquired the hidden treasures, do you wish to take them away from him?"
"…"
Lu Li rolled his eyes. Bai Qiuxue’s original intention was to defend for Lu Li, but her words made Ye Longyu and Ye Yuhan doubt more. He couldn’t explain even if he wanted to now as Ye Longyu and Ye Yuhan had passed out so they were not clear about what had gone down.
Ye Longyu smiled embarrassingly and replied, "Don’t be angry with me, Lady Qiuxue. I didn’t mean that. I am merely curious. Island Owner Lu had saved my life. I will thank him greatly later!"
Lu Li casually cupped his fists in front of his chest. With the mask on his face, others could not see his expressions. He looked at Bai Qiuxue and said, "Lady Qiuxue, how is your wounds now? Should we go down now? I think Lady Shuang and the others are getting anxious."
She had been tending to her wounds for several hours now, and she had consumed a couple of top level healing pellets. Even though not all her wounds were healed, she could walk, after some fashion now. She was also worried that Bai Xiashuang might do something impulsive so she stood up and said, "Okay, then we will go down now. See you guys later."
"Bye."
Lu Li said after he got up. Ye Yuhan and Ye Longyu bid them farewell with a smile and their fists cupped. Zi Lian stood up and said, "Young Master Lu, I will always carry with my heart your kindness. If you have something you need help with in the future, just say the word and I will do everything in my power."
Zi Lian’s words were sincere, so much so that Lu Li’s eyes got misty. Zi Lian was the princess of the Royal Family of the Heaven Martial Kingdom. If she could offer some assistance, the Teleportation Formation might easily be activated, and he could get to Central Plains.
Yet on second thoughts, he knew he had killed Yu Lingxu. Powerful warriors of the Yu Family would get to him as soon as he left the Thousand-island Lake in no time. To get to the Royal City of the Kingdom would be wishful thinking.
"Thank you very much, Lady Lian!"
Lu Li left with Bai Qiuxue after he thanked Zi Lian with clasped fists. They started going downhill. When they reached the stone stairs of the spiral mountain road, Bai Qiuxue became terrified. If the gravity was as strong as before, she wouldn’t be able to stand it.
Granted, going downhill would be easier than uphill, Bai Qiuxue still was afraid to take the risk. She looked to Lu Li who stepped onto the stone stair. At once, he felt he was burdened by the gravity.
He got back, shook his head and said, "There is gravity here. Lady Qiuxue, how about you heal your wounds for a couple of more hours?"
"No, I am worried that Shuang-er will do something irrational."
Many things had happened at the peak with the Golden Coffin flying away and Lu Li’s world-shattering roar. Bai Qiuxue understood Bai Xiashuang’s personal traits very well. The former was getting more and more concerned.
She thought about it for a while. Then she said, biting her teeth, "Young Master Lu, please carry me down on your back."
"Carry you down?"
Lu Li’s mind was disturbed. He had already had a flirting moment with Bai Qiuxue previously. He might not be able to control himself if it were to happen one more time. However, would a man turn this request of a beauty down?
So he nodded and bent over. Bai Qiuxue got on his back with her hands around his neck and her face blushing. Lu Li supported her with his hands around her long, well-developed thighs and carried her on his back.
"Grunt, grunt~"
Feeling a beautiful body on his own back, fragrant breaths to his ears, and the amazing sensation coming through his hands, Lu Li felt his muscles tightened. He swallowed down some saliva.
"Little White, go!"
After he growled like a beast, he stepped onto the stairs in strides. As soon as he got on the first stair, Lu Li felt a surge of horrible gravity pouring down on him which almost made him miss one step and fall down the stairs.
When he got up, Lu Li had crawled. Now that he was carrying a pretty girl on his back, how could Lu Li afford to be that embarrassing? He rushed downward with great efforts. As he got lower, the gravity started decreasing. He could stand up straighter now so he exhaled of relaxation.
Because of the gravity, Bai Qiuxue was pressed against on Lu Li’s back. The softness of her chest made Lu Li burn up all over his body as if he had consumed another drop of Origin Blood Essence…
One thousand stairs, 2000, 3000!
Lu Li now could easily deal with the gravity. That being said, he was slowing down out of instinct as he wanted to carry Bai Qiuxue for a little while longer. He hoped that this gentle and charming feeling could go on…
His minds were not on the spiral mountain road any longer. All that was on his mind was the feeling of the pretty body on his back. Smelling the fragrant breaths coming out of Bai Qiuxue’s rosy lips, Lu Li felt his eyes were getting misty. This feeling was unprecedented and it was very…stimulating!
Before he knew it, he had got off the spiral mountain road. Yet Lu Li was stilling walking forward with Bai Qiuxue on his back. She coughed out of embarrassment and said, "Young Master Lu, we are here. You…can put me down now."
"Ah?"
Lu Li was embarrassed. He quickly put Bai Qiuxue down gently and stole a glance at her. She was tidying up her clothes in a hurry. Her pretty face was covered in flush, so stunningly beautiful.
"Let’s go."
Said Bai Qiuxue with embarrassment after she cleaned up her clothes. Lu Li quickly nodded yes and answered, "Okay, sure. Lead the way, Little White."
They had found the way they took uphill. Little White was exploring the way ahead of them. Seeing that Little White jumped down for seven stairs at a time, Lu Li looked at Bai Qiuxue with concern and said, "Lady Qiuxue, can you get down here? How about…I carry you on my back?"
They would see many people down the mountain now so how could Bai Qiuxue dared to have Lu Li carrying her now? She bit her rosy lips as she replied, "No, thank you Young Master Lu. I can do it."
With that said, Bai Qiuxue kicked backward with one leg and jumped down seven stairs. Even though her expressions showed that she was in pain, she could do it.
Lu Li couldn’t say more. He followed her closely for fear that she might fall if she couldn’t remain stable.
"Sister~"
"Lady Qiuxue!"
Soon, from down the mountain came voices of joy. Seeing that Bai Xiashuang and the others were alright, Bai Qiuxue was greatly relieved.
Little White sped up, so did Lu Li and Bai Qiuxue. Getting downhill was faster than going upward after all. In the time for just three incense sticks to burn, they had made it to the foot of the mountain.
"Sister!"
Bai Xiashuang rushed to Bai Qiuxue with worry when the former saw the latter’s dress tainted red with blood. Bai Rong and the others gathered around Lu Li to inquire about the situation. For a while, it was quite noisy.
"Lady Qiuxue, are all the hidden treasures yours?" Before Lu Li could say anything, an indifferent voice came up.
Lu Li turned around and saw two cold, amorous eyes. Du Ziling walked over with his men and said frigidly, "Finders keepers. You cannot pocket the valued treasures of Dragon King without sharing with us."
