Chapter 415: Two Birds with One Stone

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Clouds were gathering, waves were surging, wind was roaring and thunder was rumbling.

The scene in the area of demons was horrifying as if the end of the world was upon people. Any average person must be scared out of their wits at this.

However, in the tornado, there was a man going through and coming back out. He tried to control his Fate Wheel to break free from the tornado, only to be pulled and pushed by the strong force every time. When he finally stabilized himself and tried to rush out again, he was met with an even stronger force and then he was sucked back in.

He was going through a similar situation when someone was sucked into a swirl. The more a person tried to break free, the more trapped they would become, like a fish stranded on the beach, never able to jump back into the ocean.

Lu Li had been struggling with the tornado for three whole days. He didn’t get himself trapped in there by accident. He had chosen to do so.

Confront a person with the danger of death and he would fight to live!

Lu Li had an urge built up within him after he tried to perceive the meaning contained in the tornado for several days. He must go into the tornado if he wanted to learn the Profound Meaning within. No venture, no gain.

At first, Ye Cha was so worried that he would guard outside of the tornado at all times, ready to rescue Lu Li at once. But he gradually put his mind at ease after observing for a day.

The tornado here was not as powerful as the one at the ocean. Lu Li was strong enough to psychically stand the tearing forces in the tornado. If he could not endure it any longer, he would let Ye Cha know by crushing a jade talisman.

Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang observed for a while and felt they could breathe again when they were sure Lu Li was in no danger. The twins put away their Iron-armored Ship and then boarded Lu Li’s Iron-armored Ship with their servants and escorts.

Then, regardless of the pouring rain, the twins stood on the deck and watched Lu Li as he emerged from the tornado and disappeared into it again…

Crazy!

Bai Xiashuang had thought that Bai Qiuxue was crazy enough by going into the small world of Green Dwarfs to train by herself, and now she found Lu Li was even crazier. Lu Li must be undergoing tremendous pain, being torn by the tornado. How could he have been doing this for three days?

Bai Qiuxue felt her heart ache for him. Bai Xiashuang was a simple-minded girl so she might not get why Lu Li was doing this. But Bai Qiuxue did, to some extent.

Lu Li was a disciple of the Lu Family but he had started from scratch and made the achievements by himself. He cared more about his actual power than the other young masters born in other wealthy households. Those young masters had someone to rely on, but not Lu Li.

Bai Qiuxue didn’t know why Lu Li had gone to the Central Plains and had come back. She didn’t know why he had chosen to be an emperor here. She knew very well, though, Lu Li was not a person in love with powers or positions. Otherwise, he would have unified the Northern Desert a while back.

After unifying the Northern Desert, Lu Li didn’t do much. He even preferred Bai Xiashuang and the others to call him by his name, instead of emperor. So, it could be said that Lu Li had come back to the Northern Desert for resources, for cultivation, for his power and not for enjoyment or authority.

Bai Qiuxue asked about Lu Ling when she was at the Ling Empress City. Madam Yan had no idea at all so Lu Ling was still out there.

Therefore, it was understandable why Lu Li was cultivating so wildly.

…

After staying in the tornado for a day and a night, Lu Li could stand it no more. He crushed the jade talisman and Ye Cha rushed in and pulled him out.

Lu Li’s clothes and hair were drenched and he was exhausted and weak. He grinned at Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang before collapsing to the deck and falling asleep.

He slept for two whole days before he woke up. He found someone on his bedside. He opened his eyes and saw some pretty black hair. A girl had fallen asleep on her arms on his bed.

Her face turned to the side and she looked peaceful. There was a Sindoor mark between her eyebrows. The twins could be told apart now. This one was Bai Qiuxue.

Lu Li tried to get out without waking her up but she did anyways. She opened her eyes in a daze. Her sleepy look was so pretty that Lu Li couldn’t help but stroke her cheeks.

She became fully awake right away. Seeing that it was Lu Li, she smiled sweetly and asked, “Lu Li, do you feel alright?”

Maybe it was because Bai Qiuxue had cultivated the Enchantment, Lu Li found every slight expression on her face was graceful and charming. Lu Li had lost his mind in her looks and he gazed at her, quietly.

Bai Qiuxue blushed. She turned her face away from Lu Li’s passionate looks and could hardly lift up her head. The shyness of a girl was more attractive to Lu Li. He couldn’t stop himself from saying, “Qiuxue, you are so beautiful.”

Bai Qiuxue was even shier. Her body was tensed up. Lu Li’s fingers lingered on her face, making her feeling both tense and shy. She wanted to run away but she liked it as well.

Lu Li sat up, took her hands, looked at her sincerely and said, “Qiuxue, have you thought about what I said to you the other day?”

“What did you say? I, I have forgotten.”

Bai Qiuxue lowered her head. Girls were reserved and she was even more so because of the education she received at the Bai Family.

Lu Li grinned. He pulled her up, let her sit on his bedside and said in a soft voice, “I said the empire is in need of a queen.”

She turned her head away, afraid to gaze into Lu Li’s passionate eyes and replied, “Why are you asking me about this? You are the emperor of the Northern Desert now. You can just say the word and many young ladies will jump to your bed. You will have all the queens you want.”

Lu Li smiled and said, “There are many pretty ladies but I only fancy one, the one from the Bai Family.”

“Bai Family? Which Bai Family?”

Bai Qiuxue was blushing to her neck and she was still playing dumb. “There are many Bai Families and there are many young ladies in my family…”

“That is right!” Lu Li was stilling smiling when he said, “There are. But there is only one Bai Qiuxue. Qiuxue, I like you!”

“Boom~”

Like a thunder in her head. Lu Li’s straightforward words won her over. Her heart was throbbing and she was at a loss of what to do…

She had been preparing for this mentally. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be here with Lu Li. But she still could not keep calm when the moment was finally here. She felt sweet, nervous and a bit afraid…

Lu Li never hesitated once he made up his mind. He didn’t like dragging matters for too long, either. He pulled Bai Qiuxue over to his arms and kissed her, in a clumsy but passionate manner.

She was at a loss. She didn’t even know how to refuse. She let him kiss her passionately. When a tongue sneaked its way into her mouth, she trembled.

Also…

She realized that Lu Li was acting quite mischievously. He reached one hand into her clothes and touched her where she had never been touched by a man before. She was at a loss, a complete loss, and she couldn’t bring herself to stop Lu Li from the exploration…

“Rustle, rustle, rustle!”

All of a sudden, there came a noise of footsteps from outside and a person stumbled into the room. Bai Qiuxue and Lu Li parted as quickly as they could. Lu Li lay down at once, pretending to be asleep. Bai Qiuxue sat with a blushed face, not even having time to tidy up her clothes.

“Sister~”

Bai Xiashuang rushed in. Her cheeks were rosy and she was panting. She threw Lu Li a glance to make sure that he was asleep and then whispered to Bai Xiashuang in a panic, “Sister, I think I am possessed. I felt I was touched here and someone had kissed me. I don’t feel good. Sister… what is it? I am so scared…”

“Eh?”

Lu Li was shocked and he even trembled a bit.

He had heard that the twins had a connection and Bai Xiashuang once told him that she could sense where Bai Qiuxue was as long as they were 30 miles away. He didn’t realize that this was real…

“This is bad!”

He felt unhappy. In the future, if he wanted to be more intimate with Bai Qiuxue, would Bai Xiashuang feel it too?

Was this hitting two birds with one stone…
