Chapter 505: Self-humiliation

"Bang, bang, bang~"

In a range of mountains, dozens of the Barbarian Race were wielding and waving their iron chains and copper hammers. Under their horrifying strength, pits were smashed out in the mountains. Boulders were crushed and tumbled down. Specks of dust were stirred up and there were even cracks in the ground…

The barbarians were trying to smash at Fate Wheels with a team of people on them. Every single one of the people was vivid and realistic. A warrior could not tell them apart with psychic power, let alone with naked eyes. One clone after another was smashed and collapsed in midair. In the eyes of the barbarians, there was desperation.

They had seen this coming—

Some strange energy entered their brain and made way to their Soul Ponds, piercing in from all sides. Those barbarians were only average ones so they did not have any protection outside their souls. In an instant, all the barbarians felt a sting in their souls, making them lose control of their body. They could only stand there still.

"Swish~"

With a piercing sound, a huge saber swept across amid a glaring light and landed on the head of a barbarian. After two quick moves, the barbarian's head was crushed and he fell over. The mountain became his final resting place.

"Whoosh~"

The saber moved in a fast way and the attacks were never ending. With every two moves, one barbarian would have a crushed head. Barbarians were normally strong in defense. Yet given that their souls were in a chaos, they could not dodge or trigger their Xuan Energy. The saber, on the other hand, was a Holy Grade Xuan Artifact and was used by one that was not weaker than the barbarians in strength. There was no way the barbarians could have dealt with that.

In the time for just more than a dozen breaths, more than half of the 20 barbarians were slain. The rest had just regained consciousness when a gentle breeze penetrated into their Soul Ponds again in the form of golden needs. The only ending for them was to wait in despair for their heads to be crushed and for them to eventually die.

"Boom!"

The last one collapsed to the ground. Lu Li put his saber away and took a soul nurturing pellet. He took a few deep breaths before he flew his Fate Wheel forward to catch up with more barbarians.

He had been going after them for four days and had killed six or seven hundreds of them. More than half of the barbarians' army died in his hands.

He was exhausted - both in his soul and his body - but he chose not to rest. He didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity. Not only would he get even with his hated enemy, he could also acquire a large amount of points by killing more barbarians.

"Whoosh~"

The Fate Wheel flew on. It would consume a lot of Xuan Energy and strength to fly on the battlefield, which was why Lu Li was so tired. The others saw the blood streaks in his eyes. They wanted to talk him into taking a rest but they lacked the courage.

Jiang Qiling was still sitting behind him with her legs crossed. After several days of rest and recovery, she still looked pale. She was hurt in her soul, not her body. Harmed souls were the most difficult to recover. It might even influence her cultivation for the rest of her life. It was unlikely to go back to the original state within a short period of time.

"Lu Li, how about we take a rest? We can take our time in killing those alien races. We have plenty of time. People can only get in and not out within the six months."

Finally, Jiang Qiling opened her eyes and spoke gently. Lu Li turned around in pleasant surprise. He stared into her dim eyes and asked with concern, "Qiling, how are you feeling?"

"Better~"

Jiang Qiling forced a smile and said, "It's okay. I will be fine after I rest for 10 days or half a month. Don't worry about me. Find a place to rest and we can go after the alien races later. You can kill any alien races in the small battlefield now. We are not in a hurry."

"Okay!"

Lu Li could turn a deaf ear to others but not to her. He checked the surroundings and said, "I will find a spot for us to camp and rest."

Jiang Qiling smiled and nodded. Lu Li didn't mind the barbarians ahead of them anymore. He flew around in an area with a radius of 30 miles and found a river. Going up the river, he located a valley and flew everyone in.

"Jiang Hu!"

Lu Li signaled to Jiang Hu who got down. He first made sure that the water was not poisoned before he took out tents. At the same time, another warrior was sent to patrol nearby while someone else went fishing in the river or hunting for small beasts to prepare for a hot meal.

Lu Li didn't oversee any of those. He put away his Fate Wheel, took Jiang Qiling's hands and walked over to the grassland by the river with her. They sat down. He looked at her, feeling like there were too many things he wanted to talk to her about. But in the end, the only thing he could say was, "Qiling, I…will be responsible for you."

"Ha, ha!"

She shook her head and answered with a smile, "You cannot. I am the future chosen warrior. Jiang Wuwo will never let you marry me. You are an abandoned disciple of the Lu Family. How can you marry me?"

Lu Li forced a smile. He could tell that she was saying this for fun but it was within reason. It would be hard for him to marry her. There was a long way for him to go to gain trust from Jiang Wuwo and the Pavilion of Delicacy.

Jiang Qiling continued with a light smile, "I don't care about identity and I don't want that. I have a stinky reputation. Marrying me will turn you into a joke for all the others in the world. I am happy being your close lady friend. Identity…is nothing something I care about."

"Reputation?"

Lu Li frowned as he remembered something, the tainted white cloth. He wanted to ask her about that but was afraid to hurt her feelings.

Jiang Qiling, however, was clever. She looked around to make sure that there were nobody around and whispered to him, "Are you surprised? Ha, ha…I may have given up on myself but I never joke about my own body. I am born in a distinguished household. I would never do shameless things. As a matter of fact...sometimes, I just wanted to find someone to get back at Jiang Wuwo. I want to humiliate myself so I can be a disgrace to him…"

"As I have expected!"

Lu Li finally understood. Jiang Qiling had faked all her slutty actions and she had been putting on a show on many occasions. She was trying to get back at Jiang Wuwo, shame herself, let the world misunderstand her and laugh at the Pavilion of Delicacy…

She was a young lady born in a distinguished household and had received education since young. Young ladies valued their reputation and virginity very much. But for so many years, she had been called a slut…

"Alas~"

Lu Li sighed but said nothing. He just grabbed Jiang Qiling's hands, trying to give her some warmth. After a while, he said with a straight face, "Jiang Qiling, the past is the past. From now on…as long as I am around, I will not let you suffer anymore. Anyone who wants to hurt you will have to kill me first."

Tears ran down her cheeks. She stared at him with a smile, crying and laughing at the same time. Worrying about nothing else, she threw herself into his arms, nodded and said, "Lu Li, what you said is enough. If I had to die now, I would happily accept."

"No death talks!"

Lu Li shook his head and said, "We must live on. We will see all the beauties and glories in the world and we will ascend to the top of the world. We shall make sure that all who have bullied and wronged you will pay their dues. Qiling, will you forge ahead with me?"

"Yes, I will!"

Jiang Qiling nodded with tears in her eyes and began to cry like an innocent child.
