Chapter 413: Annoying
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
After Bai Qiuxue gave her orders, the queen of the Hag Race sent a patriarch of hers and more than 100 flying Hags to press ahead towards the mountains along with 10,000 soldiers.
Lu Li chose not to participate himself. Once he and the other humans got involved, the nature of the fight would be changed.
The major races in the Deserted World would be alarmed at the Hag Race cooperating with humans to attack the Yellow Goblin Race. The Stellar Race might send over their warriors really soon in that case.
Luckily, the Hag Race was much more powerful than the Yellow Goblin Race. Apart from cloaking and going underground, the Yellow Goblins didn't know much else. Also, there were few Yellow Goblins that did know how to cloak. Average Yellow Goblins could be slaughtered at ease.
The best of the Hag Race swarmed out and gained the upper hand. The queen herself charmed many of Yellow Goblins. Then many of them were killed by the incoming skulls.
The Hag Race advanced gradually. After a day, the patriarch of the Hag Race sent over news of success, saying that she had taken over the mountains and had put the tunnel under protection.
The tunnel was not destroyed. The Yellow Goblin Race had wanted to use this tunnel to connect with the outside world and to loot some resources. In the Deserted World, the Yellow Goblin Race took the least of the lands which produced too few resources.
Lu Li was relieved to see it was all going well. No matter what the future entailed, he would have already succeeded if he could get out of this place. At least, he had saved Bai Qiuxue who had learned a quite amazing Arcane Skill.
"Let's go!"
Lu Li could wait no more. He was longing to go. He had handed the rest of the matter to the queen. Lu Li told Bai Qiuxue a few things and asked her to tell the queen to occupy this area for a long time and make sure that the other races would not take control of the tunnel and keep everything confidential.
The queen promised right away that she would carry out the missions after Bai Qiuxue communicated with her. But the queen was a bit reluctant to let Bai Qiuxue go. She hoped that Bai Qiuxue would stay with the Hag Race, and she even said that the Hag Race would provide materials for the latter to elevate her realm.
Bai Qiuxue refused. But she did give the queen some hope by saying that she would be back soon, and by that time, she would conquer the Deserted World with the Hag Race…
The queen was overjoyed to hear that. She shed tears of gratitude. Bai Qiuxue left with Lu Li under the cover of the other warriors and rushed towards the exit.
The exit was under the control of the patriarch of the Hag Race. Lu Li still had some worries so he asked Bai Qiuxue to tell the patriarch again to regard the area as prohibited and nobody else could get close.
"Move!"
Lu Li took the lead and dashed into the mud puddle. The Teleportation Formation was still here. They went through one by one and arrived at the world of Green Dwarfs after a ray of white light glowed.
"Finally."
Lu Li and Ye Cha looked at each other with relief after they set foot in the small world with Green Dwarfs. Bai Leng was still guarding here and there were more than 1000 warriors of the Fate Wheel Realm stationed here.
"My Qiuxue!"
Bai Leng's eyes glowed when he saw her and he yelled in excitement. Bai Qiuxue's eyes reddened. She rushed over, taking no heed of all the mud on her dress, got on one knee and said in a choking voice, "I am so sorry for causing so many trouble."
"Get up. As long as you are safe, everything is fine."
Bai Leng could breathe now. Bai Qiuxue was the hope for the Bai Family and he had always regarded her as his own daughter.
"Yu Huashen!"
Lu Li left Bai Qiuxue, walked to Yu Huashen and said, "Go and gather some craftsmen nd materials right away. I want a formation here built to seal off this Inhibition Formation. I want nobody from in there to come out."
"Ah?"
Yu Huashen was confused and so were the others.
Lu Li asked Bai Leng to leave with all the warriors of the Eternal Realm and the Fate Wheel Realm before he explained, "There are more horrifying races in there in addition to the Yellow Goblin Race and the Hag Race. There are at least more than 10 of them as good as warriors of the Human Sovereign Realm. If they were let out, the Northern Desert would be doomed."
"What?"
Everyone was taken aback. Lu Li's exaggeration shocked them. Ye Cha understood why Lu Li did this so he nodded and added, "That is true. The Northern Desert would plunge into an abyss of misery if the beings in there were out."
Zi Huanqiao frowned and asked, "If there are so many horrible races and beings in there, then why don't we just destroy the tunnel?"
Wouldn't that solve everything? Why would Lu Li waste so many labor and resources and seal off this place?
Lu Li could not tell them the truth. He paused for a moment and said, "The Hag Race has taken control of their side of the opening of the tunnel. Therefore, it is safe for now. We can build a sealing Inhibition Formation here. If there were a large number of alien races invading our world, we could just destroy the connection tunnel between the world of Green Dwarf and the Northern Desert. You have seen it all… there are many Mystical Materials. We can think of a way to go in and sneak some out."
"Right!"
Their eyes glowed. They had all seen it. The Deserted World was rich in Mystical Materials. Even though they could not go in and take some out right now, they would have the chance in the future.
"Guys!"
Lu Li said seriously, "We are the only ones that can know about that world. You can tell nobody, not even your wives or your children. There are more than one tunnel in that world, and one of them is said to lead to the Central Plains. I suspect that… this world might be the territory of some family at the Central Plains. So, once the information is out and the Central Plains is informed… you can imagine the consequences."
"Right, yes!"
They nodded. As far as keeping the Central Plains in the dark was concerned, Lu Li's interest was in line with others'. Once families of the Central Plain got involved, every family of the Northern Desert might be wiped out.
"Alright. Station here for a while and we will leave after the formation is constructed."
Lu Li said. Yu Huashen left right away. To build such a formation was not a difficult matter. There are such craftsmen and materials in all the big families at the Northern Desert.
Bai Qiuxue asked Bai Leng to send a message to Madam Yan but she didn't leave. Hearing that Lu Li almost killed all the Green Dwarfs in order to find her, she was touched and was unwilling to go…
They camped nearby the mud puddle. There was a river adjacent to it and everyone settled down and took a bath and then captured some beasts to cook.
The riverside.
A gentle breeze brushed on people's cheeks. Lu Li and Bai Qiuxue stood by the river. Bai Qiuxue was the one inviting Lu Li to meet her. But after they strolled to the riverside, she didn't say anything and only gazed into the water.
Lu Li's mind was in peace since they were out of the danger and she was saved. It was a beautiful scene which he was enjoying, especially now that he had a beautiful girl by his side. He was feeling happy. He turned around, looked at Bai Qiuxue's pretty face, and asked, "Qiuxue, what is on your mind?"
Bai Qiuxue worked up her courage and asked, "Lu Li, I have… learned the skill from the Hag Race and it is quite dirty. Will you look down on me?"
Lu Li broke into laughter. So this was what she was worried about. She was concerned that she was not as clean as before after she had learned the skill from an alien race.
Lu Li grabbed Bai Qiuxue's soft and delicate hands and said, "Qiuxue, I have unified the Northern Desert and established the Empire of Godly Prowess. But I am lacking a queen. Do you mind?"
Bai Qiuxue's cheeks blushed. She broke free from Lu Li's hands and said shyly, "I am asking you a question. What… are you saying?"
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Lu Li laughed out loud and teased her, "I will not even if you turn into a Hag, let alone just learning a skill. Of course…you can only use your dirty skills on me."
"You…you are so annoying!"
Bai Qiuxue was so shy that she ran away with her face buried in her hands. Her dress danced around like a butterfly.
