Chapter 635: Firefly at Night

Die Feiyu hadn’t changed much. She was delicately beautiful. Though not as outstanding as Ji Mengtian, Die Feiyu had her own uniqueness. Standing next to Ji Mengyao, Die Feiyu wasn’t to be ignored.

Since the two young ladies came in, Lu Li had noticed that some other young ladies were pouting in envy and trying hard to conceal their jealousy. If Lu Li had been a girl, he would eat his heart out as well. Ji Mengtian and Die Feiyu’s beauty were second to none, they were elegant and they were born into wealthy families. Their realms were high as well. The young masters that some other young ladies favored were fawning at Ji Mengtian and yet, she barely noticed.

In this world, some people were born to be the main character. They were the center of attention no matter where they went and the world circled around them. Ji Mengtian was one of them. Envy wouldn’t make any difference.

But Lu Li was not jealous. He had tortured and abused this young lady for several months, making her half dead. Now, her sister was kept in the Ding of Barbarian God.

Lu Li lowered his head, recalling how it was when he kept Ji Mengtian and others in the Ding of Barbarian God and was blasted by thunderbolts. He even grinned.

“Young Master Ye, you need to apologize. You sneaked out in the middle of my party. I think you are still angry at me.”

Neglecting all the fawning young masters, Ji Mengtian said to Ye Luo with a smile. But she understood very well why Ye Luo left early. Yang Xuan and Lu Suan were there as well. They didn’t try to pick a fight with Ye Luo but he still felt ill at ease.

Because he sneaked out, Ji Mengtian had come to talk to him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t come to a party of this level.

Ye Luo forced a smile, made a bow with fists folded in front and said, “Lady Mengtian, as you can see, I have guests to entertain. I cannot make a fish of one and flesh of another, right? ”

Privately, disciples of the 12 Royal Families might have fought bloody battles against each other. But publicly, they stayed in harmony. Had Ji Mengtian come to bury the hatchet?

Not only was Ye Luo talented, he was sophisticated in interacting with others. If everything went well, he would be the next master of the Tumulus of Universe. Naturally, Ji Mengtian knew better than to displease the future master of the Ye Family. She should be attempting to dissolve their feud by inviting him to a banquet and coming here.

Ye Luo and Ye Rong introduced disciples of the seventh rank families to Ji Mengtian. But those from the fifth or sixth rank families were not introduced.

They didn’t qualify for a conversation with Ji Mengtian yet.

More than half of the guests in the hall gathered around Ji Mengtian. But some young ladies were sitting, half stood up. They pouted, losing their temper about the young masters’ circling around Ji Mengtian like flies.

Lu Li didn’t stand up. Actually, he should have gone with those other men. However, he was repulsed by Ji Mengtian. He took her plotting against him to his heart. He would never go near her like a fly.

That being said, he did wink to Gu Min and let him go. Lu Li sat in the corner, thinking that being surrounded like that, Ji Mengtian would not notice him.

Now that Ji Mengtian was the center of attention, Die Feiyu became the supporting part. Bored, she took a few glances over and accidentally saw Lu Li in the corner. Him sitting alone was striking so she couldn’t help but look at him for a bit more.

“Um?”

Die Feiyu murmured. Somehow, she felt Lu Li familiar. But upon closer look, she found him not. She thought about it and inspected Lu Li with psychic power.

Seeing the psychic power, a glint of coldness rose in Lu Li’s eyes. He looked up to Die Feiyu. Feeling notice, she looked away in a hurry.

“D*mn!”

Lu Li’s heartbeat quickened. Did Die Feiyu have doubts now because her perception was particularly strong on account of her “Source of Life” Bloodline?

Die Feiyu must be suspecting something or else she wouldn’t use psychic power. But Lu Li reacted fast. While Die Feiyu diverted her looks, he took out a Heavenly Soul Pellet soon and flushed it down with a goblet of wine.

The pellet was consumed instantly. A strand of power rushed to Lu Li’s mind and a shield was formed to cover up his Soul Pond. If anyone wanted to inspect him with psychic power, they would have to get past the layer of energy outside of Lu Li’s Soul Pond.

“What is it?”

Noticing something was going on, Ji Mengtian asked Die Feiyu in a gentle voice. The later thought about it. She worked up the courage to look at Lu Li again and said, “That man…is special.”

“Special how?”

Die Feiyu’s words took many by surprise. They looked over as well. Ye Luo was feeling worried. Could Lu Li’s cover be blown?

Ye Luo inspected with psychic power as well and was a bit relieved by the protection layer of energy outside of Lu Li’s Soul Pond. Lu Li was a different person now and his soul was protected. Even if someone were to inspect, they wouldn’t find anything wrong.

Ji Mengtian scanned over with a frown. But she didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary. Lu Li was at the peak of the Eternal Realm, which was not powerful and even not strong enough. He had average looks, as well. He was not even as handsome as some average young masters or creamy boys. He had this wild character but it was not outstanding. Why would Die Feiyu notice a man like him?

Lu Li was still drinking as if he hadn’t noticed he was center of attention now. He acted like an otherworldly man. He seemed to be calm but he was getting nervous. More than 100 people were inspecting him with psychic power. Was he exposed or not?

“Nothing special.”

Ji Mengtian told Die Feiyu, feeling unable to suppress down her curiosity. Many around them were looking at Die Feiyu, intrigued.

Die Feiyu was confused herself. She looked at Lu Li. She found himself familiar but could not remember where she had seen him or figure out why she was attracted to him. She murmured, “I don’t know. I just…think he is special.”

Die Feiyu’s voice was low but Lu Li heard it. He couldn’t stay calm with more people looking at him. Something was bound to happen if he was inspected more. Maybe there was a powerful Human Sovereign Realm warrior hidden somewhere and check him.

“Ha, ha, ha!”

Putting the goblet down on the table, Lu Li wiped his mouth in a rude way. His eyes glowed as he looked at Die Feiyu with dirty looks and said with a sonorous voice, “Sh*t, I tried to remain a low profile and I have been sitting in the corner but I still stand out like fireflies in the night. Alas…it is troublesome to be too charming. Lady Dieyu, I am Gu Fengliu, known as the Lady Killer. I don’t think you should be interested in me. All those that were close to me, all the women, had ended up poorly.”

“Pff…”

Almost simultaneously, water came out from several young ladies’ mouths. They choke and coughed, cheeks blushed.

Many young masters and young ladies, including Ji Mengtian, Die Feiyu, Ye Luo and Ye Yu were stunned. They had seen people with no shame but never seen one to this extent. All here today were young masters and young ladies from major families. Who would use such rude words? What Lady Killer…

It might be normal if Lu Li were Ye Luo and Die Feiyu were a young lady of a fifth or sixth rank family and he was flirting with her.

How dare this Gu Fengliu, a young master of a fifth rank family, with no power, no connection, no handsome looks, dally with Lady Die Feiyu like a rogue?

Everyone was stunned. Who was this idiot? Disasters emanate from careless talk. Why was he not afraid that he might cause the destruction of his family?
