Chapter 84: Li Ran’s Compensation!
Yue Jianli stood on the street and gazed at the entrance of Li Manor.
Her eyes were not filled with sadness and disappointment but were full of vivid glow.
She finally faced her heart.
“So what if he has a marriage contract? As long as Li Ran is still a disciple of the Youluo Temple, he can not marry Xiao Qingge!“I still have a lot of time!”
“If I want to break this rule, I only need to be stronger than Leng Wuyan!” Yue Jianli smirked. “Coincidentally, I’m best at becoming stronger!”
She turned around and left.
Her green robes fluttered unrestrained.
However, Yue Jianli did not know that this rule had long been broken by the rule setter, Leng Wuyan, herself.
Boom!
The door of the secret ground was kicked open. Li Ran was covered in blood as he strode over to Li Wuqiang.“So angry in the early morning?” Li Wuqiang drank his tea calmly.
Pa!
Li Ran threw the Immortal Binding Rope on the table. “I’m returning this!”
Li Wuqi was amused. “Did you use this rope?”
“Nonsense!” Li Ran looked displeased. “I didn’t expect you to be so old and still a pervert. You’re trying to trick me into thinking that this is an immortal rope. Shameful!”
“Who tricked you?” Li Wuqiang said as a matter-of-fact, “You said there is something wrong with my description? It could tie her up, correct? Did I say something wrong?”
Li Ran had never seen such a shameless person.
“And this rope is indeed a treasure. Although it looks pretty cheap, it’s really useful. Especially for female cultivators. No matter how high your cultivation is, you can bind her and even smell the mesmerizing fragrance.”
“Stop,” Li Ran said disdainfully, “You can’t be from the Hehuan Sect. You’re too shameless.”
“If you don’t want to…” Li Wuqiang stretched out his hand and was about to retrieve the rope, but before he could finish speaking, Li Ran had already put away the rope.
He said in a righteous manner, “I don’t trust you with such a vulgar thing. I’ll take care of it myself.”
Li Wuqiang nodded. “You’re more shameless than me, grandson.”
Li Ran cleared his throat and said, “No matter what, I have been traumatized. You have to compensate me.”
The corners of Li Wuqiang’s mouth twitched. “You still want to be shameless?”
“Then I won’t cultivate any more. I will never cross the tribulation. You can just stay here obediently.”
“How ruthless! What compensation do you want? I’ve already declared that the dharma treasure is gone.”
Li Ran shook his head and said, “I don’t want the dharma treasure. I just want you to protect someone.”
Li Wuqiang was taken aback. “Who?”
“Xiao Qingge.”
Li Ran had been thinking about this.
Wuyang City’s matter was basically resolved. He was about to return to the sect immediately. The Li Family had an emperor overseeing it, so he wasn’t worried.
However, Xiao Qingge was different.
The death of the Xiao Family’s Ancestor meant that she had lost her supreme combat strength, and she didn’t have the protection of a sect.
Even though Wuyang City was still considered to be peaceful, he feared some unpredictable factors.
With an Emperor-level expert like Li Wuqiang protecting her, he could still feel a little more at ease.
“It’s your little fiancée, right? You really are a romanticist.” Li Wuqiang stroked his beard. “It’s not that I can’t protect her, but you have to agree to two conditions.”
“What conditions?” Li Ran asked.
Li Wuqi said, “First, I’ll only guarantee her safety for ten years. You’ll have to cultivate until you have reached the Heavenly Tribulation Realm within ten years.”
“No problem.” Li Ran did not hesitate.
This request was very difficult.
There had never been a Heavenly Tribulation Realm expert who was under 30 years old in the entire Vast Lands.
But no matter if he could succeed or not, ten years of protection was a guarantee. He was sure that he would make a profit.
“Second, if you were to chance upon the personal disciple of the Tianshu Academy’s head, beat him to death!” A trace of hatred flashed in Li Wuqi’s eyes.
“Tianshu Academy?”
Li Ran was taken aback. “You have a grudge against them?”
It was one of the top sects of the Righteous Path and the only top female cultivator sect.
Li Wuqiang snorted coldly, “The head of Tianshu Academy, Yi Qinglan, has a grudge against me… But you definitely won’t be able to beat her, so you’ll just have to beat up her disciple.”
“Alright, deal.” Li Ran nodded.
This request was not difficult.
The Tianshu Academy was extraordinary, and their disciples seldom set foot in the mortal world, and the chances of finding the academy’s head are even slimmer.
And if they meet each other, so what?
As the Devil, does he need explanations for beating up someone?
After leaving the secret ground, Li Ran went to Xiao Manor again.
He handed the ‘Rakshasa Sutra’ to Xiao Qingge and urged her to go to the Li family in secret.
However, after she found out that Li Ran was going back to the sect, she couldn’t bear it.
She was like a koala, latching on Li Ran’s arm and not letting go.
Her black and white eyes sparkled with tears.
“Li Ran, I can’t bear to part with you…”
Li Ran pinched her fair face and consoled her, “If the relationship is long-lasting, why fear the morning and evening? The path to immortality is long, so is our lifespan. This is just a small interlude.”
“The relationship lasts for a long time, it can last forever…” Xiao Qingge mumbled these words, her eyes filled with admiration, “Darling, you’re really cultured!”
“It’s only average. It’s the third page in Haotu,” Li Ran spoke shamelessly.
Xiao Qingge looked at the ‘Rakshasa Sutra’ and suddenly said, “Li Ran, I’ve thought of a good way to get married!”
“What can I do?” Li Ran said curiously.
Xiao Qingge put her hands on her waist and said, “As long as I work hard to cultivate and become stronger than your Master, I can force her to rewrite the rules of the sect. That way, we can get married!”
“……”
Li Ran gave a thumbs up. “What a great dream.”
Beyond Leng Wuyan?
He knew how terrifying his master was.
Even if his talent was as strong as her, he did not know when he would be able to reach his Master’s realm.
Even if they were both emperor ranks, there was still a huge gap.
Otherwise, why would Li Wuqiang be so scared that he would pee his pants when he heard of Leng Wuyan’s name?
“Isn’t it just the Emperor Realm? If she can do it, so can I!”
Xiao Qingge was full of confidence.
In her heart, she had set the goal of “surpassing Leng Wuyan”.
Li Ran looked at her and couldn’t bear to refuse her…
……
It wasn’t easy to bid farewell to Xiao Qingge who was sticking like glue. Li Ran returned home and tidied up.
After talking to Li Daoyuan, he went to check on that little girl, Shen Ning.
“Did you remember what I told you?”Li Ran asked.
Shen Ning nodded vigorously. “I remember. Next year, I’ll get my talent tested. If I have any talent, I’ll go find you.”
“Very well, I’ll be waiting for you at Mount Xuan Ling.”
Embarking on the cultivation path was a cruel thing.
If Shen Ning was lucky, then Li Ran would be willing to help her change her fate. However, if she really was just a mortal, then she would still live a safe life.
Just as Li Ran was about to leave, a small hand touched his thumb.
He turned around and saw Shen Ning looking at him timidly. “Young master, young master, I have a small request…”
“What request? Speak,” Li Ran asked.
Shen Ning grabbed his big hand and placed it on his head. Then, he gently stroked it with his eyes narrowed.
“Just for a moment.”
