Chapter 497: Worldly Pleasure
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Time flies. Soon, five days had passed by.
News spread out that there were a large party of alien races gathered together. Someone realized something was wrong. They retreated and began to tell other teams. They thought the alien races were rallying up to purge humans and launch an all-out attack at the base camp of humans.
Many human teams began to move together willingly, waiting for alien races to come and protecting the base camp. Gradually, they sensed something was off. They sent the news to the young ladies and young masters but didn't get any feedbacks.
Ji Mengtian, Lu Suan, Yang Xuan, and Ye Luo were not gathering their teams nor calling upon human warriors to fight against their enemies.
One the fourth day, grapevine news had it that a warrior of a seventh rank family used his special Bloodline and found out why the four alien races were gathered together.
He said that the four alien races were gathered around a tower and attacking it.
Soon, it was found out what the tower was because it had been used by the Jiang Family for many times. It could be regarded as a Quasi Relic and the Jiang Family named it the Tower of Delicacy. It was known at the Central Plains.
More people sent over news. Someone had seen Jiang Qiling went that way. Some warriors moved closer at risk and they heard sounds of explosion before they arrived.
It was almost certain now—Jiang Qiling and her team were under attack. They were taking refuge in the Tower of Delicacy while the four alien races were trying to take Jiang Qiling's life.
Warriors coming from families of the northern Central Plains went to see Ji Mengtian, Ye Luo, Yang Xuan and Lu Suan, asking for them to call upon others to rescue Jiang Qiling.
Finally, Ji Mengtian, Lu Suan, Yang Xuan and Die Feiyu gather together and issued an order for all warriors to fight against the four alien races to get Jiang Qiling out.
However…
It was hard to put the warriors together as the teams were scattered. What was more, many human warriors refused to listen to order as they were not familiar with Jiang Qiling. Why would they risk their lives to save her?
Warriors from the northern Central Plains were in a panic. It would take 10 days or half a month for Ji Mengtian to get everyone together. By that time, the Tower of Delicacy would be torn apart. Jiang Qiling and others on her team would all have been killed.
…
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"
At the north of the small battlefield, explosions were still coming. Powerful warriors of the four alien races would take turns to discharge attacks at the tower with no stop.
The glare of the Tower of Delicacy was dying down which was exciting for the four alien races. They were more convinced that the tower would tumble down at this rate.
Any piece of treasure would require energy to sustain, especially the ones to provide defense. When the energy ran out, the tower could be broken.
Jiang Hu and the others stopped cultivating. They understood that they could not achieve greatly during only a couple of days and their strengths could not be elevated. They were too scared to focus.
They were becoming more frustrated, in a constant state of anxiety. If it were not for the fact that Jiang Qiling had divine energy and Lu Li was powerful, they would have lost their minds.
Inside the small room, Lu Li and Jiang Qiling were sitting side by side. They never stopped cultivating for the past five days. They were both working hard to increase their abilities.
At this critical moment, their potentials were simulated. At least, Lu Li felt he was thinking faster and he could figure out many things in one try.
That being said…
The time he had was too short. He had come to a choking point in his study of Profound Meaning. He didn't make a breakthrough in the past five days.
The study of Profound Meaning would go through stages of rudimentary learning, proficiency and complete mastery. Lu Li's Speed Profound Meaning should be at the stage of proficiency. It would take him some time before he could have complete mastery.
Profound Meanings were rules and orders in heaven and earth, the truth of the world. If everyone could master Profound Meanings overnight, then there would be countless humans who could use Profound Meanings. As a matter of fact, many warriors would spend years or decades to go from rudimentary understanding to complete mastery.
"Piss, piss~"
Lu Li was tired. He stopped for a break. Suddenly, he was alarmed by a strange sound. He opened his eyes and saw something white.
"Ah~"
As if a kitten with a stomped tail, Jiang Qiling jumped up. She pulled her skirt up quickly. Looking at Lu Li in a blush, she said angrily, "Lu Li, what are you doing? Aren't you cultivating?"
Lu Li finally understood what was going on when he saw the chamber pot. He turned over embarrassedly and said, "I am sorry. I have just woken up. I…didn't mean to."
Jiang Qiling said nothing. She put away her chamber pot into her Interspatial Ring, covered her face up and remained silent. It was getting embarrassing and awkward in the room. Gradually, something changed in the atmosphere. Lu Li and Jiang Qiling's cheeks were turning redder and redder…
Lu Li was a bit more thick-skinned. After a while, he coughed to break the ice and asked casually, "Jiang Qiling, have you made progress these days?"
Jiang Qiling shook her head and said, "No. This divine energy is in me but I cannot use them. So, I don't think tit belongs to me. Lu Li…am I useless?"
Lu Li was a bit disappointed. Something "divine" must be extraordinary. If she could put the divine energy into use, she would become so much more powerful. But it couldn't be of any help right now.
Lu Li couldn't give Jiang Qiling any assistance or guidance. Divine energy was in her body. How could he give her directions when he could not see it or touch it?
"How about you?" Jiang Qiling walked over to Lu Li and sat down, "Have you made any progress?"
"No. Not enough time."
Lu Li shook his head and said, "I don't have a solid foundation. It's incredibly hard to increase my abilities."
Jiang Qiling titled her head, looking at him and said, "Lu Li, I think we are going to die here. But…I am not scared to be able to die with you."
"I don't want to die!"
Lu Li raised his head. He was not willing to give up. He said coldly, "I have too many things to do. I need to find my sister, get my parents out and save Bai Qiuxue. I don't want to die. I cannot die!"
Looking at the vines popping out on his forehead and his solemn looks, Jiang Qiling felt sorry somehow. She lowered her head and thought about something quietly. After the time for one incense stick to burn, she raised her head up. A glint of determination appeared in her eyes.
"Buzzing!"
The ring on her hand glared as she took out some jerky and two bottles of pink-colored wine. She gave Lu Li some jerky and a bottle of wine and said, "Have something to eat. Don't push yourself too hard right now. We have five more days. We still have a chance."
Lu Li ate some jerky and took a sip of wine. It didn't taste like strong wine. There was something strange it, something like…herbs?
"What is it? Why don't you drink Bloody Rose?"
Lu Li asked with a frown. Jiang Qiling said casually, "This is a kind of miraculous drink. It can better your soul. Don't waste it. Drink it up."
Lu Li didn't hesitate upon hearing that it would be improving his soul. He finished the jerky in a few bites and drank the bottle up.
"No!"
Soon, Lu Li felt something was wrong. There was a burning sensation in his groin. He felt thirsty and a surge of strong urge.
He looked at Jiang Qiling in shock. The latter smiled like a vixen and said with a grin, "Lu Li, the drink is called Worldly Pleasure. Even immortals will surrender to their lusts after drinking this. Don't fight it. Let me enjoy the happiness of being a real woman before we die. What do you say?"
"Sh*t, you used aphrodisiac on me?"
Lu Li didn't know what to say. At such a dangerous moment, Jiang Qiling was still thinking about carnal pleasure…
