Chapter 320: Take it Back

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Yu Huashen and Little White were gone for a long time. They came back at night the next day.

Lu Li could sense Yu Huashen's state through the Soul Worms. He knew that since Yu Huashen was okay, Little White must be fine as well. He was not worried about them.

Yu Huashen had a fine color on his cheeks. Clearly, this was a rewarding trip. He giggled and said, "The caves of ghosts are erupting heavily. There are Purple Xuan Crystals and Soul Crystals everywhere. There are more Gargoyle Rats as well. Little White is awesome. With it there, none of the rats dared to move close, ha, ha."

Lu Li was excited by his words. He asked, "How many did you get?"

Lu Li had consumed more than half of the Soul Crystals he had. Now that Yu Huashen came back, Lu Li wouldn't have to worry about running out of Soul Crystals. Yu Huashen put two fingers up and replied, "Nearly 2000 Soul Crystals and more than 90,000 Purple Xuan Crystals."

"Very nice!"

Lu Li praised him. About 2000 Soul Crystals was more than 2 billion Xuan Crystals, and the 90,000 Purple Xuan Crystals would be worth of more than 900 million Xuan Crystals. This was a rewarding day and night.

It was true that every time caves of ghosts erupted, there would be a large amount of Purple Xuan Crystals and Soul Crystals, but most of those would be sucked back in. Yu Huashen had already done an amazing job.

Of course, Little White made contributions as well. With the eruptions, there would be more and more Gargoyle Rats. Without Little White there, Yu Huashen would be under constant attacks by the Gargoyle Rats and he would not have the time to collect Purple Xuan Crystals or Soul Crystals.

Yu Huashen took all the Soul Crystals out from his ring and gave them to Lu Li. Lu Li accepted gladly. Yu Huashen didn't give him the Purple Xuan Crystals, though. It didn't matter who had those.

"Young Master!"

Instead of leaving immediately, Yu Huashen asked with a frown, "I think there will be more Gargoyle Rats. How about… I go by myself and leave Little White here with you? You will be safer."

Gargoyle Rats were horrible. Once Lu Li was bitten, he would be poisoned and he would turn into a human rat. Not even god could save him.

Lu Li refused after some thoughts. Without Little White, Yu Huashen couldn't get too many Purple Xuan Crystals and Soul Crystals. Lu Li was not in immediate danger and Ming Yu could take him away at any time. Also, Jiang Qiling had effective means to deal with the Gargoyle Rats. Even if there were hundreds of Gargoyle Rats, Jiang Hao and Jiang Qiling could still manage.

Lu Li handed Yu Huashen a warning jade talisman and said, "Take this jade talisman. If I am in danger, I will break it and you can get back at once with Little White. If we leave, we will make some marks along the way."

"Okay."

Yu Huashen could practically ignore the Gargoyle Rats with Little White there. Also, it wouldn't take him long to get back. He left again without having much rest.

He wanted to collect as many Soul Crystals and Purple Xuan Crystals as possible so they could arrive at the Mystic Armor City. If Lu Li was in a good mood after they arrived, he could even let Yu Huashen go free. After all, the Lu Family had no shortage of powerful warriors.

Seeing Yu Huashen come and go, other warriors of the Pavilion of Delicacy were burning with jealousy. Normally, nobody was allowed in the Gargoyle Mountain. At times of instability, warriors wouldn't be allowed in, either.

After the instability times passed, the Pavilion of Delicacy and other forces would organize some warriors to come in and collect Purple Xuan Crystals and Soul Crystals. Now, Yu Huashen got ahead of them.

Lu Li didn't spend much time thinking about Yu Huashen. He continued to consume the Soul Crystals. By now, he could feel that the effects were reduced. Every time after he consumed the Soul Crystal, there would be less white energy. He must have developed some kind of resistance.

Nevertheless, he didn't stop. The silver dragon mark had been absorbing the white energy. Lu Li wanted to see if the silver dragon would evolve after it took enough energy.

Therefore, even though it was a waste to continue to consume Soul Crystals in such a way, Lu Li did not stop. He kept on consuming more.

At midnight, Jiang Hao and others went out to fight the dozens of Gargoyle Rats coming at them. Jiang Hao also notified people to keep alarmed. Lu Li had to stop cultivating.

Luckily, there were no more Gargoyle Rats coming. Jiang Hao took care of those that came. Lu Li went back to cultivating after he was certain of the safety. He fell asleep out of tiredness at the small hours.

Not long afterwards, the dawn had come. There were Gargoyle Rats coming again. This time, there was more of them, more than 100.

Jiang Hao wanted to ask Jiang Qiling to help him but she paid no attention to him. Jiang Hao, before leaving, asked Lu Li and Jiang Hong to keep an eye on Jiang Qiling.

Not all the 100 Gargoyle Rats could be stopped. Soon, noises of fight came from out of the valley. Seeing that Jiang Qiling never came out from her tent, Lu Li walked over with Ming Yu with a frown.

Lifting the curtain up, Lu Li went in and saw Jiang Qiling was sitting inside and slowly sipping a goblet of Bloody Rose. His eyes grew cold. He said, "Jiang Qiling, there is greater merit in saving one life than in building a seven-tier pagoda. All the warriors fighting outside are from the Pavilion of Delicacy. You are just going to sit here and watch them die?"

Jiang Qiling looked up to Lu Li with her drunk eyes. She giggled in a silly way, tilted her head and said, "They were all there when my lover died. How come I cannot sit here and watch them die? There is no good people at the Pavilion of Delicacy. Why should I care if they die or not? I was doing them a favor by saving them, but I am also not wrong not to save them. Humans are selfish. They are selfish, then why cannot I?"

Lu Li was fuming with anger at Jiang Qiling's illogical words. He became more upset. He said in a low voice, "I talked to your grandpa last night and I told him that I think you are a nice girl. Jiang Qiling, I will take my words back. If you don't want to move on, then don't. I was wrong about you."

With that said, Lu Li turned around and left. Jiang Qiling was not happy to be shouted at, but then she became nervous. Her lips moved. She tried to stop Lu Li but she swallowed her words in the end.

"Bang!"

She forcefully smashed her goblet on the ground and stood up. She stared at Lu Li's back, stomped her feet and said, "Jiang Hong, get over here. Protect me and let's go."

Jiang Hong hurried over with some warriors. Jiang Qiling rushed out in a storm of rage. As soon as she was out of the valley, she started venting her anger at the Gargoyle Rats.

"Boom, boom, boom~"

Right at that moment, the ground in the middle of the valley started shaking. Many people in the valley were frightened. They began to run to the corners of the valley.

"This is bad!"

Ming Yu and Lu Li looked at each other and shouted. This was sh*t luck and the worst they could imagine. Seeing that many people were running towards inside of the valley, Lu Li shouted, "Get out of the valley or you will all die."

The valley was not big. If there were Gargoyle Rats coming out, everyone that stayed in the valley would die.

Lu Li didn't pay much attention to others after he shouted to them. He then said to Ming Yu, "Get out and let's go over to Jiang Qiling."

Jiang Hao had told him to take care of Jiang Qiling. Ming Yu could protect one more person so Lu Li had to deliver on his promise.

"Whoosh, whoosh~"

A cave appeared in the middle of the valley. With a purple steam, many Purple Xuan Crystals and Soul Crystals flew out from the cave, accompanied by some dark shadows. Lu Li and Ming Yu took a look and they were weighed down with anxiety. There must be at least more than 100 Gargoyle Rats. This time, many people would meet their deaths in the valley…
