Chapter 325: Help Her Go

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Jiang Qilling had changed her clothes. She was wearing white, and her hair was tied with a white band. There was no piece of jewelry on her. She was in her mourning dress.

Lu Li could tell that Jiang Qiling had set her mind on killing herself judging by her blank stares. Should this not be dealt with in the right way, she would still seek ways to end her life even if she could not die this time.

Jiang Hong was standing next to her, with some bandages and healing pellets in his hands, but he was afraid to move. Seeing that Lu Li had come, Jiang Hong worked up the courage to grab Jiang Qiling’s hand, trying to stop the bleeding.

Jiang Qiling made a move, but not on her hand. She raised her head and threw a glance at Jiang Hong.

What a glance! Empty, cold, terrifying, not a single trace of emotions…

Jiang Hong didn’t have a very high status at the Jiang Family. He froze after Jiang Qiling’s glance and he looked towards Lu Li for help. The other people of the Pavilion of Delicacy also turned to Lu Li, the only person that could speak some sense into Jiang Qiling.

“Is there any meaning to save her? Her heart and mind are dead. You can save her body, but not her soul.”

Lu Li coldly said. Then he waved his hand towards several escorts of the Pavilion of Delicacy and said, “Go and find a nice spot to bury your lady.”

“…”

They looked at each other, wondering if they had heard it wrong. Then they all put on such gloomy looks. Was Lu Li here to help or to mess around?

“No~”

Lu Li suddenly thought of something and continued, “You cannot bury her here. There are Gargoyle Rats everywhere. Your lady’s body will be chewed on by the rats and every single piece of flesh and every drop of blood will be gone. In the end, there will only be bones. Or… maybe her bones will be eaten up, too. So, put her body in your Interspatial Ring and bring it back to the Pavilion of Delicacy to bury.”

“Young Master Lu…”

Jiang Hong almost knelt to Lu Li. Jiang Qiling was trying to kill herself. Was Lu Li here to expedite the process?

Paying no attention to Jiang Hong, Lu Li continued. He looked at Jiang Qiling coldly and said, “Lady Qi, it is fate that brought us together and I am here to see you off. Actually, it is not a nice way to go by cutting your wrist. You are quite a powerful warrior and it will take hours before you can die in this way. People will be tired of waiting.”

“Let me teach you how to die.”

Lu Li went on before Jiang Hong and the others could say anything, “Do you know how to explode your own Soul Pond? In this way, your soul will be shattered completely and you will die a swift death. Um… I don’t suppose you know this. How about we go out and you can explode your Spirit Sea? But you will not have a complete body as you will be shattered into pieces. You will be hard to recognize.”

“Let me think… ah, right, you can give a slap on your forehead which will not be so painful, but this is not the best way. Your head will be in pieces. After all, you are a girl. You must pay attention to your looks even if you are going to die. How about poking an iron needle into your Soul Pond from the back of your head? This is good. You can die quickly and your looks will not be destroyed. Jiang Hong, go and find an iron needle for your lady and let us help her go.”

Nobody else knew how to react. Even Yu Huashen and Ming Yu turned their heads, as if they wanted to say they didn’t know Lu Li. Jiang Hong almost cried. He stared at Jiang Qiling nervously without blinking, for fear that Jiang Qiling might really act as Lu Li told.

“Jiang Qiling!”

Lu Li suddenly shouted. His voice was so loud that everyone, including Jiang Qiling, trembled. He angrily yelled, “If you want to die, die now. Don’t let everybody else suffer with you. You are a good-for-nothing. You are a coward. What is this? If you want to go with your grandpa, then go. I want to see when you get to the netherworld how you will face your grandpa.”

Finally, there was something in Jiang Qiling’s eyes. It was shame and anger. She moved her lips, trying to say something but she swallowed her words. She just stared at Lu Li like an angry lionet.

Lu Li stared back at her. He suddenly took off his mask, looked at Jiang Qiling scornfully and shouted, “What? Am I wrong? You are not a good-for-nothing or a coward? You are a person that have being considering about death since your lover passed away. You cut your wrist a while back because your grandpa passed away but you are still alive now. What else can you be if not a coward? Or good-for-nothing? Suicide? Those killing themselves are cowards. They are afraid of the reality and they only know how to run away!”

Lu Li was getting angrier and more excited as he spoke, as if he was hoping for Jiang Qiling would die sooner. He shouted for a while, got some water from his Interspatial Ring, threw the jar of water away and continued, “If you are not a good-for-nothing or a coward, then show us and to your grandpa. You hate your father. Then cultivate. When you are more powerful than your father, ask him to go to your lover’s tomb and make him kneel. Your grandpa died but he is a hero. If you have the ability, then bury your grandpa in the best cemetery so future generations can go and show their respect for him. But you are afraid. You don’t have the courage, or the determination or the ability. Therefore… you are a good-for-nothing.”

Jiang Qiling was so angry that she panted. Because of this, her blood was flowing quickly. Blood spurred out from her wrist, freaking Jiang Hong out.

Jiang Qiling rolled her eyes. Surprisingly, she said, “What if I can?”

“Ha, ha, ha!”

Lu Li laughed out and said, “If you can make your father go and kneel at your lover’s tomb and let everyone of the Central Plains to pay respect to your grandpa, you can make me do anything.”

“Alright!”

Jiang Qiling suddenly got to her feet, but she was trembling because of the loss of blood. Jiang Hong quickly supported her. She looked at Lu Li with a cold smile and said, “If I can do this, Lu Li, I want you to kneel to me and wash my feet publicly.”

“Ha, ha~”

Lu Li put the mask back on and walked outside. At the doorstep, he turned back and said, “If you really have the ability, I can kneel to you and wash your feet. Jiang Qiling, I am not belittling you. You… really cannot.”

Lu Li left in a much unrestrained manner as if he didn’t care about Jiang Qiling’s life. Ming Yu and Yu Huashen left as well. Nobody inside the tent was saying anything. Jiang Hong was so scared that he didn’t dare to breathe.

After a while, Jiang Qiling reached her hand out. Jiang Hong was relieved. He quickly bound up her wound.

Jiang Qiling didn’t pay attention to her own wrist. She kept looking at Lu Li as he went and murmured, “Lu Li, just you wait and see. I will make you kneel to me and wash my feet. Just you wait.”

“Young Master, you are good!”

Ming Yu praised after they went back to Lu Li’s tent. Yu Huashen nodded as well. They were both clever to see that he was goading her into actions.

“My sister has taught me this.”

Lu Li had calmed down now. He continued, “If death is the only thing she wants, it is difficult to talk her out of it. You must provoke her, anger her, give her a goal so that she can have the desire to live one. In other words… give her a reason to live.”

“Right!”

Ming Yu nodded. Then he couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Young Master, you want her to be more powerful than her father? The Master of the Pavilion of Delicacy must be at least the peak of Human Sovereign Realm, right? Can she do that in this lifetime? Ha, ha, ha.”

“So she can live on.”

Lu Li shrugged his shoulder and said, “Whether she can achieve this is her own business. Whether she can move on and work hard and aim high is also up to her. I have my own stuff. When the Pavilion of Delicacy sent people over, we will leave. Little White has been seen. We cannot go with the others now.”
