Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
After he sold all the ones he brought with him to the Pavilion of Delicacy, Lu Li bought back many Mystical Materials on the list and some for the cultivation of Eternal Realm and the Noble Lord Realm
Balancing it all out, Lu Li actually made hundreds of billions of Xuan Crystals.
As far as God of Meng knew, the Mystical Materials on the list he gave to Lu Li were expensive. At the Central Plains, though, it was not the case. Pavilion of Delicacy had many of those growing in their own farms and mines.
The stuff Lu Li provided were common at the Deserted World but rare at the Central Plains. The rarity of the ones Lu Li sold to the Pavilion of Delicacy made them pricey.
Lu Li didn't stay at the Island of Delicacy for long. After all Jiang Wuwo didn't welcome him. If he stayed with Jiang Qiling longer, it would just fuel the anger of Jiang Wuwo. Besides, she must work to reach the Noble Lord Realm now.
Bidding farewell to Jiang Qiling, Lu Li left on his own. The attention he received on his way back was overwhelming. There were even times that he didn't even have to spend Xuan Crystals when teleporting. Some leaders would also pay respects to him and salute Lu Li as young master.
…
Arriving at the Clouds City, Lu Li found that the Palace of Peaceful Heaven have commenced building the large Teleportation Formation. He was personally entertained by a patriarch of the Palace of Peaceful Heavens who told Lu Li that a large scale Teleportation Formation would be built at the Ling Empress City which would shorten the travel.
Lu Li naturally would not turn such a good opportunity down, not when he would have to travel to the Central Plains often for business. They discussed for an entire afternoon. Lu Li didn't have to pay one Xuan Crystal. The Palace of Peaceful Heavens would be paying for all the expenses while the Northern Desert only had to allocate some manpower.
It was after dark when Lu Li was back at the Northern Desert. He entered the imperial palace then upon entering a side chamber, he saw someone familiar.
"Lu Li, you are back!"
Zi Lian was here. She was wearing a yellow dress, standing under a tree. She smiled and asked, "Do you have time? Can you go over to my house?"
Lu Li could of course tell what Zi Lian was thinking about, seeing how shy she was. But his heart was frozen along with Bai Qiuxue. He had no time for romance, nor in the mood for it.
"No."
Lu Li made up his mind. He shook his head and replied, "I have other things to do. See yourself out, please."
With that said, Lu Li turned back and entered the side chamber with no pause.
"Sometimes, when you miss out on something, you will not get it back, never again."
Zi Lian murmured to herself. Her pretty face was covered in frustration and tears slid down her cheeks. She stood under the tree for a while before she ran away, hands over her face to cover up tears.
…
Lu Li was busy. After he entered the side chamber, he called Ming Yu over and told him to bring tens of billions of Xuan Crystals to the Central Plains.
Ming Yu previously said that the Sanctuary could put out a bounty for finding Lu Ling!
Lu Li delayed this matter because of the Deserted World but he didn't forget it. Now that he had Xuan Crystals and that the Northern Desert was stable, he set off on the task at once.
"Fifty billion?"
Ming Yu was taken aback by the amount of Xuan Crystals in the Interspatial Ring. He looked at Lu Li with confusion, wondering where the Xuan Crystals came from.
"Don't ask. Just carry out my orders!"
Lu Li waved his hand and said, "Use them wisely. All I need is to find my sister as soon as possible. If she cannot be found, I will hold you accountable."
Ming Yu bowed at once and said, "Young Master, don't worry. I will do my best."
Lu Li took out another ring and said, "Here are some Mystical Materials for your cultivation. Northern Desert is peaceful lately. Try to work hard and reach the peak of the Noble Lord Realm. If you can, I will give you Mystical Materials for you to reach the Human Sovereign Realm!"
"Eh…"
Ming Yu was shocked. He opened his eyes wide in disbelief. Did Lu Li make some easy money? Those Mystical Materials for reaching the Human Sovereign Realm were valuable.
He stood there for a minute but Lu Li was not in the mood to explain. Ming Yu bowed again and said, "Thank you, Young Master. I will waste no effort." Then Ming Yu left.
Lu Li called Madam Yan over and informed her about the Palace of Peaceful Heavens building the Teleportation Formation. He also gave her some Mystical Materials to put into the national reserve and distribute them accordingly so the Northern Desert could have as many powerful warriors as possible.
Madam Yan was also surprised by the Mystical Materials. She was a wise woman. She was the one in charge of overall planning so she was advised of many things. But she didn't ask for a specific answer and only nodded to acknowledge the order.
She paused for second and asked a question about Bai Qiuxue, "Emperor, is Qiuxue okay?"
"Yes!"
Lu Li explained in one sentence, "She is poisoned and is resting. I have sent people to find that cure. Xiashuang is with her."
"Understood."
Madam Yan was relieved to know. Then she looked at Lu Li with a grin and asked, "Where were you with Qiuxue?"
Lu Li was embarrassed. He had been intimate with Bai Qiuxue but he still had poison in him and he was drugged. He was the passive receiver and didn't feel a thing.
He touched his nose to hide his embarrassment and replied, "Where were we? Why do you care? Leave now."
Madam Yan gave Lu Li a meaningful look and answered, "Don't be cross, emperor. Do not deny the fact that you two have been involved physically. You must treat her well. Don't go off and have affairs or I will hold you accountable…"
"How dare you?"
Lu Li was angered by the fact that instead of leaving, Madam Yan stayed behind to tease him. He banged the table and said, "I will have an affair today. Take off your clothes!"
Madam Yan didn't seem to be intimidated. She shoot Lu Li a flirty look and said, "Emperor, Qiuxue is my niece. Her mother died young and I am the one who raised her. She is almost my own daughter. You want to make a move on me? Are you… going for the mother-daughter category? This is incest…"
"Yes, I am into the mother-daughter category, so what?"
Madam Yan was still making fun of him. Lu Li was unwilling to admit defeat and retorted, "Later, I will bed Bai Xiashuang as well and throw the three of you in bed. Sisters and mother-daughter. Let's see how you feel about that."
"Ah~"
Instead of feeling afraid, Madam Yan said excitedly, "You have strange desires. How naughty you are. I am so scared…"
Where was the fright on Madam Yan's rosy cheeks? Lu Li was speechless. This Black Widow was even sluttier than Jiang Qiling. She had no boundaries.
Feeling the difficulty to locate his words, he turned his face away and ignored Madam Yan. Unexpectedly, she walked over, pulled on her belt and began to take off her clothes…
By the time Lu Li turned back, Madam Yan's dress was unbuttoned. Her porcelain skin and her red waistband were exposed. He was freaked out and asked in shock, "What are you doing? Are you out of your mind?"
Feeling wronged, Madam Yan answered, "Emperor, you were the one telling me to take off my clothes. How can I disobey you?"
"Get lost!"
Lu Li's eyes were wide open in fury when he said, "I was just kidding. I am not that kind of person. If you do this again, then don't work for me anymore and you can go back to the Bai Emperor Mountain and raise pigs."
"Ha, ha~"
Madam Yan slowly put her dress back on. She stuck her tongue out and said with a grin, "I am also just playing with you. This is a test I am doing on behalf of Bai Qiuxue. Emperor, you are of noble characters and loyalty. I am happy for Bai Qiuxue…"
With that said, Madam Yan walked out, swinging her waist. She even turned around to give Lu Li an inviting smile at the door.
Lu Li rolled his eyes. This slut sounded so serious. That said, if he really took her to bed, she must be wild with joy. That might have been what she actually wanted.
