Chapter 696: The Blind
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Lu Li had saved a girl out of impulse and he had no idea how much trouble was awaiting him.
He was always like this and never changed. Once he made up his mind, he would do it with no regret.
The girl didn’t lie. Lu Li flew with her for an hour and had covered more roads than he could remember. He even deliberately changed course and took some detours. For the past hour, nobody came after them.
After taking two healing pellets and resting for an hour, the girl seemed much better. She was still sitting with her legs crossed and kept her eyes closed—of course, she still couldn’t see anything with her eyes open. She had to rely on psychic power.
Lu Li said nothing, either. He flew on silently. More than two hours passed but no pursuing forces. Lu Li felt relieved. It must be hard for the pursuing forces to catch up with them now that they had flown for such a long distance.
“Buzzing~”
Six hours later, it was still peaceful. However, as they went past a mountain, a streak of strong psychic power scanned over. Lu Li was frightened and stopped immediately. The psychic power must be from a warrior of at least the Earth Immortal Realm.
“Such a pretty doll!”
An evil voice was heard. Following that, the mountain of dark gold burst open as a healthy old man flew out. He didn’t conceal the passionate lust in his eyes as he looked at the girl next to Lu Li.
Lu Li was nervous. The girl suddenly opened her eyes at this moment. After checking the healthy old man with psychic power, she said, “The Wicked?”
The old man with white hair and a youthful complexion laughed as he said, “Ha, ha, ha. Darling, you know my name. If you know my name, you must know what I like.”
“I am Yin Qingsi!”
The girl didn’t seem to be scared at all and continued calmly, “The Wicked. I think you have heard of my name.”
A glint of hope kindled in Lu Li’s heart. Clearly, The Wicked fancied the girl and wanted to loot her away. Without any surprise, Lu Li would be killed directly. Little did Lu Li expect that the girl might have connections and was not implying it.
“Yin Qingsi?” The Wicked frowned and asked a follow-up question, “The one from the Central Imperial Universe?”
Yin Qingsi forced a smile as she replied, “Are there two Yin Qingsis from the four universes? Two blinds?”
“Such a pity. So beautiful but blind.”
The Wicked sighed. Something else sprang to his mind. His eyes glowed again as he asked, “I heard that you are of a miracle birth that is rarely seen in tens of thousands of years.”
Yin Qingsi must be offended. Biting her lips, she asked seriously, “The Wicked, you know the result of violating me!”
“Ha, ha, ha, ha!”
The Wicked broke into laughter. He spread out his psychic power to all sides. When he was sure nobody was around nearby, he let go of all veil over his lust and desire and continued with an evil grin, “That old bastard of your family is really something but I don’t think he can go after me if I go to the Prison of Darkness after I am done playing with you.”
Yin Qingsi’s expression changed. Her eyes were the same but there was a trace of fright on her face. She was trembling.
Lu Li sighed to himself. It didn’t seem like he could escape from the bad luck today. He was just wondering if saving the girl would bring about trouble. It had only been hours and now trouble was here…
The girl felt the change in Lu Li’s emotion. She bit her lips and said, “He is not from my family. He just walked by and saved me. He has no idea who I am. Let him go. I…will do as you say.”
“Eh?”
Lu Li was shocked. He stared at Yin Qingsi. A vulnerable and tender girl, one that was otherworldly, had agreed to let the old pervert violate her for his sake?
“Okay!”
The Wicked gave Lu Li a cold glance and pretended to be okay, “Punk, you got lucky. Forget about what happened today and you will have a longer life. Now get lost!”
Yin Qingsi bowed to Lu Li and said, “Young Master, can you let me know your name? If we can meet in another life, I will be your servant to pay back your kindness.”
“I am Lu Li!”
Lu Li replied with a straight face. From the depth of his heart, though, rose pity and rage. She was such a delicate and pretty girl but she was about to face the violation and defilement from an old pervert. From the day she was born, she was never able to look at this beautiful world. How could be she be treated so cruelly?
Lu Li thought quickly of a way out, not only to save the darling girl but also himself.
Just now, when the Wicked looked at Lu Li, the Wicked didn’t conceal the murderous intent in the depth of his eyes. Lu Li believed that the Wicked would hunt him down even if he could run away. The Wicked would kill him to prevent any exposure of the matter.
At this critical moment, Lu Li’s brain was working fast. Suddenly, he had an idea. The ring glowed as a blood-red token was taken out.
“Buzzing!”
As soon as the blood-red token was taken out, Yin Qingsi shivered and it got the attention of the Wicked right away. His eyes glistened.
“Token of Blood Emperor!”
Yin Qingsi smiled. It was a sweet smile that was seen nowhere else. She turned to the Wicked and said, “Pervert, Young Master Lu is Blood Emperor’s apprentice! If you were chased by the Blood Emperor, you wouldn’t get out of it alive even if you ran to the Prison of Soul, let alone the Prison of Darkness.”
Lu Li put on a straight face but on the inside, he felt taken aback. He didn’t know the mysterious warrior that had given him the token was this powerful. That warrior could go to the ninth level of the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos, the Prison of Soul? After all, make it through the 10th level would mean ascending to the heaven.
The Wicked was hesitating. Suddenly, he seemed to have an idea. He said coldly with a snort, “Punk, don’t you trick me. The Blood Emperor never takes in an apprentice!”
“Really?”
Lu Li felt emboldened. Holding the token up high, he said, “Do you think this token is fake? Are you saying that someone can take this token from my master? Do you want me to crush this token to get my master here so he can talk to you in person?”
This time, the Wicked was really frightened. Gave Lu Li a look of hatred and throwing Yin Qingsi a lingering look, The Wicked finally said, “She is of miracle birth that can only appear in every tens of thousands of years. You got luck. Hmm!”
The Wicked snorted and dashed to the distance. Lu Li waited for a while before he flew to the west on his Fate Wheel. Sweat ran down his forehead like rain.
“”Buzzing~”
Yin Qingsi took out a cyan bead that created a shield to cover them both. Inside, Yin Qingsi explained, “This shield can is sound-proof. The Wicked’s psychic power cannot even get in. Young Master Lu, you have saved my life again.”
Yin Qingsi didn’t use affectionate words but Lu Li could feel she was grateful. The thought of taking advantage of her because of her appreciation never crossed his mind. He was not a man like this.
Shaking his head, Lu Li said, “I wasn’t doing it only for you. I was trying to protect myself.”
Yin Qingsi changed to another subject. She was curious about the token still in Lu Li’s hand so she asked, “You lied just now. But… I will keep your secret. How did you get this Token of the Blood Emperor?”
