Lu Li went nuts, while Bai Xiashuang flew into a rage because of that. The two glared at each other in speechless dismay.

Lu Li had always been one that could be persuaded by reason but not be cowed by force. If Bai Xiashuang wanted to force him today, he would not build her that cabin.

The other Young Ladies were here with joy. They were going crazy seeing what was happening. They had already experienced Lu Li’s temper. If it went on like this, they would have to sleep on the ground again.

Lu Li was wearing that Ghost Mask. His eyes were cold which gave him a ferocious look. After Bai Xiashuang gazed at him for a while, her eyes became misty. She lowered her head and said with choking voices, "It was just a kick. Why are you being so mean? You are a man. All that you know is to bully girls?"

Lu Li was at his wit’s end as soon as Bai Xiashuang started crying. His looks became more gentle and mild. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, don’t cry. I will build cabins for you. But you have to help me. I cannot finish so many cabins by myself."

Bai Xiashuang smiled through her tears. She nodded and replied, "Sure, we will help you. You must build us some pretty cabins."

So many men were sent to find exits but of no use. Surely, the exits would most likely take some time before they could be found. It would require a slow exploration. The several Young Ladies naturally wanted to dine and sleep well. They didn’t care so much about the treasure hunt. They just wanted to regard it as a trip.

The Young Masters offered their assistance with zest, but they only made things worse. In the end, Lu Li just let them do the simplest things and started getting busy by himself.

With one cabin after another finished, the Young Ladies were invigorated. Smiles were blossoming on their faces. They even looked for flowers to decorate the cabins. Their bell-like laughter resounded in all directions.

Bai Qiuxue was attracted by the laughter. Seeing that Lu Li built her one separate cabin, she just nodded to Lu Li with a smile. Then she led someone to find secret gears and exits again.

Bai Qiuxue left, but Zi Lian came with four or five Young Ladies.

She had taken a bath and changed into an emerald green dress. Her hair was combed into a bun with a purple hairpin in it. She was holding a white jade flute in her hand. Her looks and temperaments were so much better than those of the other girls. The only one that could come close was Bai Xiashuang.

Lu Li was still building cabins and wearing the Ghost Mask. Zi Lian exchanged some pleasantries with Bai Xiashuang, then the former walked over to Lu Li, bowed to him slightly and said, "Thank you very much, Young Master, for your venison. I am here to extend our gratitude."

Lu Li looked back at Zi Lian. He recalled the time he and she met at the Frigid Cloud Mountain. He was lost in his thoughts so much that he forgot to reply.

Bai Xiashuang was unhappy that Lu Li couldn’t move his eyes from Zi Lian. Bai Xiashuang coughed gently and said, "Lu Li, why don’t you say something."

Lu Li soon recollected himself. He suddenly looked at Bai Xiashuang. He had already told Bai Qiuxue to ask everyone stop calling his real name. Bai Xiashuang, however, forgot about it now.

"Lu Li?"

Zi Lian’s eyes lit up. She carefully checked Lu Li out. The more she looked, the more she believed that this was Lu Li indeed. She seemed to be deep in her thoughts looking at the mask Lu Li was wearing. She said with a smile, "Young Master Lu, we are qualified as acquaintances. Can you show me your real face?"

Zi Lian knew about him? Lu Li was surprised. Then he took off the mask and said with a bitter smile, "Hi, Lady Zi."

Zi Lian’s mind also seemed to be wandering as she gazed into Lu Li’s face. She remembered the rainy night at the Wu Ling County. That Patriarch Qing at the later stage of the Spirit Sea Realm Lu Li killed and Lu Li’s sister who was reincarnated…

She was sighing now after seeing Lu Li was in the team of the Thousand-island Lake and that he had reached the later stage of the Spirit Sea Realm so quickly.

But Zi Lian didn’t say anything. She didn’t mention that she was observing the fight at the Wu Ling County. She just glanced over to the cabin and said, "Young Master Lu, the cabin you built is beautiful. Can you help me build one?"

Lu Li had a quite nice feeling towards this Zi Lian. That day at the Frigid Cloud Mountain, she reminded him to look out for dangers. It was a simple sentence, but nonetheless, Lu Li was grateful because to him back then, Zi Lian was like a fairy from the heavens and the status of the two were very different.

He promised without hesitation, "It is my honor to serve Lady Zi."

"Hmm!"

Bai Xiashuang became unhappy seeing how Lu Li reacted. Sure, Zi Lian was the pearl of the Heaven Martial Kingdom, but Bai Xiashuang was also the pearl of the Thousand-island Lake. She didn’t think her status or looks were worse than Zi Lian. Why did Lu Li treat her so differently?

Bai Xiashuang was quite true to herself. She would say whatever was on her mind. She mumbled, "Lu Li, you promised us first. You cannot help the outsiders if you don’t finish ours first."

The word outsiders made the Young Ladies on Zi Lian’s side become unfriendly. Zi Lian’s expression, however, didn’t change. She looked at Bai Xiashuang and said, "That is not true, Lady Shuang. Lu Li was born in the Wu Ling County of the Heaven Martial Kingdom. He belongs to the Heaven Martial Kingdom. How are we the outsiders?"

"Hmm!"

Bai Xiashuang was even more upset. Her tone became very unfriendly. She refused to be defeated and responded, "Lu Li is now an Island Owner at the Thousand-island Lake. Him entering the Thousand-island Lake meant that your Heaven Martial Kingdom was unkind to him. He could not stay at the Heaven Martial Kingdom so he had to come to the Thousand-island Lake."

Lu Li was in a fret. He was awkwardly caught in the middle of the quarrel between two Young Ladies. He, at once, cupped his fists and said, "Ladies, if you go on like this, I cannot finish the cabins even in several days. Lady Zi, please go back first. I will go over to you when I finish here later, okay?"

Zi Lian gently smiled. She saluted and led the Young Ladies back. After Zi Lian was gone, Bia Xiashuang glowered at Lu Li and said, "Lu Li, you belong to the Thousand-island Lake. You cannot flirt with Young Ladies from the outside."

"…"

Lu Li rolled his eyes and impolitely retorted, "I cannot flirt with Young Ladies from the outside. Should I flirt with you ladies?"

"Bah, you dirty!"

Bai Xiashuang blushed. She was shy and embarrassed. She stomped her feet and left in a hurry like the wind. Lu Li burst into loud laughter, while the other Young Ladies were all blushing. They quit in helping Lu Li and left with Bai Xiashuang.

The only one who stayed behind was Xu Fangfei. She swallowed back the words on the tip of her tongue. This attracted the attention of Lu Li. He asked, "Lady Xu, why don’t you run with them? Are you waiting for me to flirt with you?"

"Bah~"

Xu Fangfei spat into air as her face became rosy. Then she said, biting her teeth, "Lu Li, don’t be buried in your wishful thinking. You cannot marry Lady Shuang or Lady Xue with your status. You better bury that thought now. Otherwise, if you angered everybody, even the Xu family could not protect the Blood Evil Island for you."

"Status? Ha, ha!"

Lu Li lightly smiled. If he were to announce that he was a disciple of the Lu Family, maybe it was Bai Xiashuang who didn’t deserve him.

That being said, he was not longing for something he could not have. He didn’t want to invite trouble to himself either. On second thoughts, he believed what Xu Fangfei said was reasonable.

To the Young Masters of the Thousand-island Lake, Bai Xiashuang and Bai Qiuxue were their goddesses and muses. If he got too close to the two muses, he would be faced with a platoon of troubles.

He looked at Xu Fangfei. Suddenly, he put on a wicked smile and said, "Lady Xu, don’t worry. I have no romantic intentions for those two Young Ladies. There is only one person that I admire in my heart."

"Who is that?"

Xu Fangfei was interested in this gossip. She remembered Lu Li’s attitude to Zi Lian. Could it be that Lu Li liked Zi Lian?

Lu Li mysteriously smiled. He checked up Xu Fangfei and answered, "That girl is as pretty as a fairy, a beauty which can obscure the moon and make flowers blush, one who can make wild geese alight and fish dive down for shame. Her surname is Xu and her given name is Fangfei."

"Bah~"

Xu Fangfei of course understood Lu Li was dallying with her when she saw the ridicule in Lu Li’s eyes. She spat into the air in anger and hurriedly left.

"Ha, ha, ha!"

Lu Li loudly laughed. In his head, however, he was thinking of the enormously beautiful face of Lu Ling.

He thought that if there were other ladies like Lu Ling in the world, he would woo her like crazy, because in his heart, Lu Ling was the perfect goddess.
