Chapter 158 If you can't let this go, then draw your sword! (Seeking monthly votes! A prize draw would be great if we reached 1000 votes!)

"It hasn't been that long, has it?"

Lu Li wasn't embarrassed at all.

Having spent a long time in society, the only useful thing he learned was to be thick-skinned.

Although more than an hour was wasted just now, it shouldn't have been long for Fang Yuebai and the others.

After all, the world was at a standstill at the time.

"Oh well, I guess I'll just have to bear the mess I made."

Fang Yuebai sighed softly, suppressing her displeasure, before brushing a strand of hair behind her ear and asking, "Brother Li, are you finished talking?"

"We've finished talking. Pan Shuai and Hao Liang are in similar situations to you. I think they haven't been resting well, so let them get some rest first."

Lu Li was referring to what Fang Yuebai had told him the night before, that she "seemed to have a problem with her memory."

"Bai Bai, I think you probably haven't rested well either. Don't think too much about this time travel, just treat it as a vacation, you should get some rest."

"Oh," Fang Yuebai said noncommittally. "Then why are we coming down here? If I remember correctly, chaos is coming in a few years. Although things aren't much better for ordinary people right now."

Lu Li nodded. "Speaking of which, I do have something I need to ask Xing Tian and the others to do."

He waved to Xing Tian and Liu Lu, "Come on over."

"Coming right up!"

Xing Tian and Liu Lu scurried over, practically skipping along.

Liu Lu is very scared now.

It was terrified.

Although he didn't know why, in just over ten minutes, Lu Li had become much stronger.

Moreover, the aura of that ancient demon has disappeared.

It's obvious that Lu Li used some unknown method to send that ancient demon back!

And he's gotten stronger!

wrong!

Liu Lu suddenly realized what was happening, and then cold sweat soaked his back!

It's not that Lu Li has become stronger!

Rather, Lu Li was inherently terrifyingly strong!

Right now, we're only letting it sense a tiny bit!

If it develops ulterior motives, senses Lu Li's weakening, and then makes a move.

Then it will probably only be reduced to ashes.

terrible!

It glanced at Lu Li discreetly, but the man's expression remained unchanged.

This guy has a really bad conscience!

Xing Tian was unaware of Liu Lu's thoughts; he simply looked Lu Li up and down, his expression one of surprise and uncertainty.

Lu Li felt a chill run down his spine from his gaze. "What are you looking at? Old Xing, do you want to be blind?"

Seeing that Lu Li was still so aggressive, Xing Tian's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled back into his stomach.

Hmm, Brother Li seems to be in a good mood.

Xing Tian's courage grew.

He even dared to test Lu Li, "Brother Li, are you born with a special kind of innate talent?"

Lu Li's mood was neither good nor bad.

Hearing this, he chuckled softly and said, "What, want to give it a try? Let's find a place and have a friendly spar."

"No, no, no! I was just kidding!" Xing Tian refused reflexively.

Are you kidding me!

Even when Lu Li's cultivation level "appeared" to be inferior to his, he was able to easily defeat him.

Now, it "looks" like it's a whole realm stronger than him, and by a completely different level. He couldn't possibly die so quickly if he wanted to.

"Alright, I'll give you two a task."

Lu Li took out a few books. "I need you to find a few people and then give these books to them."

This is Lu Li's willfulness.

"Book?"

Xing Tianxia consciously took the book, and then he was stunned when he saw the title.

"Holy crap?! Brother Li, what are you doing?"

He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

Xing Tian pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Brother Li, you want me to use this magic weapon to fight demons and monsters?"

Lu Li: "."

He remained silent, simply watching Xing Tian calmly until Xing Tian's legs trembled and his forehead broke out in a sweat.

"Brother Li, say something! I'm so scared if you don't say anything!"

Lu Li sighed, "Old Xing, where's your awareness? You need to get this done quickly. Hand the book over to the right person, and you can take Liu Lu with you."

He turned to look at the timid Liu Lu, "Could you at least take on a human form?"

Liu Lu paused for a moment, pondering what "beginning to take on a human form" meant.

Then, realizing what was happening, he quickly put away all eight heads, leaving only one large bald head.

Now it looks like Toguro's body with Killer 47's head on top of it.

"Also, remember to put your clothes on," Lu Li instructed, then turned and pulled Xing Tian back. "Old Xing, once you've delivered the goods, don't come back. If you can do that, I can help you complete the mission."

"If you can't do it, then you'll never complete your mission."

Lu Li understood the principle of giving a slap followed by a sweet treat.

After all, he didn't want to really push Xing Tian to the brink of despair.

His recent sharp tongue is actually just a result of his mental imbalance under immense pressure.

Therefore, an outlet for venting is needed.

Xingtian just happened to become this channel.

Moreover, Lu Li has indeed handed over his "fate" to Xing Tian to control.

If he can accomplish this, then Lu Li's mission in this era will be complete, and he will enter the previous era with Fang Yuebai and the others.

That would naturally be considered "leaving this world," and Xing Tian's mission would then be considered complete.

If Xing Tian fails to handle this matter properly, Lu Li will be unable to leave this era, and Xing Tian's mission will also be unfulfilled.

This can be considered as compensation and an opportunity that Lu Li is giving to Xing Tian.

Xing Tian was overjoyed. "Brother Li, don't worry! I, Old Xing, guarantee to complete the mission!"

Then he turned around, grabbed Liu Lu who had been wanting to ride the yo-yo for a while, and prepared to start running.

But he soon turned back.

Standing in front of Lu Li, he had something to say, but he didn't know how to start.

Lu Li raised an eyebrow. "Stop being so coy. It's disgusting. Just say what you want to say."

A middle-aged, muscular man over 1.9 meters tall was acting all coy and awkward. Disgusting!

After hesitating for a long time, Xing Tian cautiously asked, "Brother Li, where do you plan to go after you leave this world?"

"I'm not sure, it's probably still this world, but a bit earlier in time," Lu Li countered. "What, you don't want to see me?"

"Isn't that obvious?!" Xing Tian's face beamed with enthusiasm. "How could I possibly want to see you? It's just that, Brother Li, could you promise me something?"

Seeing his expression, Lu Li suddenly realized, "You mean that thing you mentioned last time, right?"

"Ah, right, right!" Xing Tian nodded. "It's just that next time, if you find out that I'm on the opposing side, Brother Li, could you give me a chance to defect? ​​Don't just kill me right away."

Lu Li smiled and agreed, "Sure, I already promised you last time."

Xingtian was overjoyed.

"Okay! I'll go deliver the book right away! Brother Li, wait for my good news!"

Lu Li's words seemed to reassure him.

Xing Tian immediately turned around and, with Liu Lu who had been waiting impatiently, scurried away.

Lu Li watched their figures disappear from the roof beams before returning to the house with Fang Yuebai.

Now that everyone in the room was family, Fang Yuebai asked the question, "Brother Li, is that book you had them deliver really okay?"

"No problem." Lu Li waved his hand. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's get ready. We should prepare for our next time travel."

"Huh? We're going to time travel again?" Pan Shuai was confused. "No, Lao Lu, how can you be so sure we're going to time travel again soon?"

"Yes, Brother Li," Fang Yuebai said, equally puzzled. "Besides, what do we need to prepare?"

Li Tingchan, who had been observing silently, was even more confused. "Master, what is time travel?"

"It's nothing." Lu Li patted her head. "Achan, go and keep an eye on things with Xing Tian and the others until they finish delivering the books."

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Li asked, "A-Chan, what are the charges against Liu Lu?"

"His sins are grave; he must have killed many people. But he said he's been living overseas for the past few hundred years."

"Then forget it," Lu Li said. "You can decide what to do then. If it's willing to leave China and live overseas, then let it go. If it's not willing, either kill it or cripple it. Anyway, it just wants to return to its roots and live a peaceful life, so let it live a good life."

The premise is that one lives as a harmless "human," not as a monster that can kill and eat people at will.

"I understand." Li Tingchan nodded and left. "Then, Master, wait for my good news."

Watching Li Tingchan leave, Lu Li suddenly clicked his tongue.

He understood why Li Tingchan, who had just met him a hundred years later, harbored such deep resentment.

It's not just because I feel I've changed.

The main reason might be his sudden departure without saying goodbye?

Fang Yuebai blinked and suddenly said, "Brother Li, you said we're under a lot of pressure and haven't slept well, but I think you're the one under a lot of pressure. It feels like you're rushing to finish something."

"And it seems like you've become less emotional?"

Lu Li smiled but didn't say anything.

Why?

Because he wanted to finish the game quickly and get everything back to normal.

Once everything returns to normal, he will still be that modern young man.

The same group of friends includes Fang Yuebai, Pan Shuai, Hao Liang, and Luo Hao.

Life can continue as usual.

Instead of the current situation where they are in constant danger and don't know when they might disappear.

No one else has any memory of this person.

And my parents.

Now, considering what Ji Mo said earlier, his parents must have been the first to disappear.

So in Lu Li's own memory, they just went on a trip, but in Fang Yuebai's memory, they passed away ten years ago.

Just like Luo Hao.

Half an hour later, Lu Li raised his hand and looked at it.

My hands are starting to turn transparent.

He looked up at Fang Yuebai and the other two.

Sure enough, they are also becoming transparent.

Suddenly someone sighed.

"well"

Lu Li turned around and saw that it was Hao Liang.

Hao Liang has always been a man of few words.

He was the one in this small group who wasn't good with words but could help his brothers clean up the mess.

But now, he looked at Lu Li with a strange expression.

It was as if he had suddenly realized something.

Seeing Lu Li looking over, he smiled bitterly and whispered a sentence.

"Old Lu, as expected. We all died after that disaster."

Just as Lu Li was about to speak, his vision blurred and he found that his surroundings had changed.

This is a dilapidated temple.

There are naturally no offerings in the temple.

The cracked and dilapidated stone Buddha on the offering platform looked down at Lu Li with a compassionate expression, but its eyes, missing half a head and only one eye remaining, were utterly indifferent.

Lu Li just stared at it silently.

"Holy crap?! He actually wore it!"

Pan Shuai's exclamation interrupted Lu Li's thoughts.

He came to his senses and found that only Pan Shuai and Fang Yuebai were left beside him.

Even though he already knew the result, Lu Li still couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Pan, Bai Bai, do you still remember Hao Liang?"

Fang Yuebai thought for a while before saying, "I remember it was your high school classmate, Brother Li, and later..."

She didn't continue.

Pan Shuai's expression changed slightly, and he frowned, saying, "Old Lu, didn't we agree not to bring up those painful memories after Hao Liang and Luo Hao left ten years ago?"

Lu Li: "."

I knew it!

He suddenly felt a sense of frustration.

There's also a sense of urgency.

If things continue like this, when this world ends, either Pan Shuai or Fang Yuebai will disappear.

Then, when the next world ends, the remaining one of them will also disappear.

What's the point of playing then!

Lu Li just wants to clear the game again and again!

Without them, Lu Li simply couldn't imagine what state he would be in.

It's true that humans need quiet and personal space, but they are also social beings.

Unless someone is mentally unstable, everyone will have a few friends, more or less.

There may not be many, but there must be some.

At least there's a place online to talk nonsense, so that counts.

Lu Li could not accept being all alone in a strange ancient world.

I just don't know what the conditions are for clearing the game in this era, or what era this is.

"Brother Li."

Just as Lu Li was pondering, Fang Yuebai suddenly tugged at his sleeve.

Lu Li snapped out of his daze and followed Fang Yuebai's worried gaze. He saw a man and a woman, along with four or five children, huddled timidly on the thatched roof in the corner of the dilapidated temple, watching the three of them.

They reeked of a foul stench, their hair was gray and tangled, their faces were covered in filthy dust and stains, they wore tattered gray linen clothes, and their straw sandals had thick scabs on their feet.

Lu Li frowned subconsciously, a hint of aloofness and disdain in his eyes.

He then suddenly woke up and slapped himself.

"Brother Li?"

Fang Yuebai quickly grabbed his hand, "Are you alright?"

Pan Shuai remained silent for a long time, then sighed.

He understood Lu Li's feelings.

He was actually quite ashamed.

It's normal for them, who are used to modern life and live quite well, to instinctively feel disgusted when they suddenly see such a dirty beggar.

But they are kind people after all.

Lu Li put his hands behind his back, took out several steaming hot Da Dong roast ducks, and then walked over and handed the ducks to the two adults, "Here, eat."

The stench emanating from these people made him instinctively hold his breath.

Lu Li sighed again, glancing at the trembling expressions of the group and the children's fearful yet longing eyes for the roast duck.

They also noticed their swallowing and chapped lips. Lu Li grabbed the man's dry, rough hand, which was covered in dried mud, and stuffed the box containing the roast duck into his arms. He then took out two buckets of water and handed them to the woman next to him.

He then cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and said, "These are all for you all. I have some questions I would like to ask you."

Just then, a noisy commotion suddenly arose outside the dilapidated temple.

Then someone kicked open the half-broken wooden door hanging in the dilapidated temple.

"Oh my, what a beautiful young lady!"

Lu Li saw Fang Yuebai's panicked expression and the fearful looks on the faces of the people in the temple.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Then he turned around and looked at the seven or eight men in front of him who were also dressed in tattered clothes.

Lu Li observed for a moment.

The seven people behind them looked numb, but the moment they saw the roast duck, their eyes seemed to light up with a green glow.

That was the look on the face of a wild beast that had been starving for a long time when it saw its prey.

The one leading them, though his clothes were also dirty, was wearing a cotton robe.

His eyes were filled with greed and lust.

Lu Li could tell that this guy was the leader of the others.

The other people were actually similar to the people in the temple.

"Kids! You're all dressed nicely, take all your clothes off!"

The leader, dressed in a tattered cotton robe, swaggered over. "And this chick, leave her here too, or I'll let you all get lost!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand to touch Fang Yuebai's fair face.

But as soon as he raised his hand, his wrist was grabbed by another hand.

Feeling his wrist being clamped like an iron clamp, unable to move and increasingly painful, the leader's expression changed.

"Sir, spare your life! Spare your life!"

Lu Li glanced at him sideways, "You want to leave and then shift the blame to others, right?"

The leader's expression changed, clearly indicating that Lu Li had guessed his thoughts.

"Tsk, why do such stupid people actually exist?"

Lu Li's eyes narrowed slightly. "I've always been kind to others, yet I always seem to run into these kinds of things. Killing is definitely wrong. But sometimes I just can't control myself."

He seemed to be talking to someone, yet also seemed to be talking to himself.

Lu Li suddenly found it ridiculous.

In the past, if he encountered a truly good person, he would only sincerely express his admiration, but he could not be as selfless as that person.

If he encounters a bad person, he usually pretends not to see them. Although he feels very upset, he always thinks it's someone else's business and at most complains a few words online.

But what if I can't accept this?

There's a song that goes, "That's right."

Friends come with good wine, and jackals have shotguns.

According to Lu Li's understanding.

If you encounter a good person, you should treat them with even more kindness and warmth than they do.

If you encounter an evil person, you must treat them in a way that is even more wicked and ruthless than theirs.

He is now a martial arts master at the Innate Realm.

What if you feel resentful?

Miss Bai and Miss Luo had already shown him this answer through their actions a few months ago.

There's also Li Tingchan.

If you feel resentful.

Then

"Aaaaaah!!!!"

The leader suddenly let out a piercing scream.

His wrist bones had been crushed to pieces by Lu Li.

The next moment, an incomparably beautiful amber-colored glass peony filled his entire field of vision.

Lu Li then shook off the blood droplets from his amber sword and returned it to its sheath.

If you feel resentful.

Then draw your sword.

Lu Li turned around, and the clothes below the head of the small leader, along with blood, flesh, and internal organs, left him.

Between the scorpion's ribs and the unblemished human body lies a heart still beating with inertia.

Also, the look of terror remained on his face until his death.
