Chapter 101: Luo Li: I Kill, Exterminate Clans, and Seize Treasures, I Am Not Wrong
The void flying ship quickly arrived at Sunfall Valley, coming to Luo Li's cave abode.
After waiting for a moment, they saw Luo Li's eyes were gloomy like water, as if brewing boundless anger.
"Junior Sister, what's wrong?" Gu Qing asked in confusion.
Logically speaking, they had not seen each other for many years; shouldn't Luo Li be excited to see him?
He was here to refine pills for Luo Li, after all.
"It's nothing. I was deceived by a shameless scoundrel, and now I really want to burn him to death with flames," Luo Li said, her beautiful eyes dim and her expressionless.
"What?"
"Who is it?"
"Anyone who dares bully my junior sister, I will surely not let them off."
Gu Qing was ecstatic in his heart, but on the surface, he wore a face of fury.
Luo Li was the destined great villain; the only one who could deceive her was probably the protagonist.
Luo Li truly did not disappoint him; her ability to attract the protagonist was top-notch.
"Will you really stand up for me? He is very powerful and very shameless, he even deceives women."
Luo Li's vibrant red lips were slightly curved as she looked at Gu Qing with keen interest.
For some reason, seeing Gu Qing so filled with righteous indignation, the anger that had accumulated in her heart dissipated somewhat.
After all, her senior brother seemed to care about her very much.
"Of course, whoever dares bully you is going against me," Gu Qing said without thinking.
"Let's not talk about that for now. Why do you never reply to my messages?"
At this mention, the anger in Luo Li's heart could not help but surge upwards.
It was truly too hateful.
She had been full of anticipation and excitedly had people collect spiritual herbs, only for Gu Qing to lose all contact.
This feeling was enough to make her explode from frustration.
If only Gu Qing had replied to a message, she could have waited no matter how long it took; it would even be fine if he didn't refine the pills for her.
She would not have been so unable to let it go.
"I rarely check my jade message slate; I usually keep it in my storage ring, so… you understand," Gu Qing explained indifferently.
Luo Li was just a mere tool to him, and he had no intention of wasting more time on her.
"You are not allowed to not reply to my messages in the future."
"You must get my definite confirmation before you can cut off the connection," Luo Li said through gritted teeth."
"???"
Looking at the baring-fanged Luo Li, Gu Qing was stunned.
Wasn't it just that he cut off the connection a bit too quickly?
There was no need for her to lose her composure, right?
"Speak."
Luo Li's anger had not subsided.
Although she knew Gu Qing hadn't intentionally messed with her, and that not replying was just due to his personality.
She truly despised people who did not reply to messages.
She wished she could burn them to death with the Phoenix Nirvana Fire to vent the hatred in her heart.
"?"
Fine, fine, how dare she be so arrogant toward him.
They had not seen each other for many years, and it seemed Luo Li thought she had grown up now.
Today he would let her know that a senior brother is still a senior brother.
"Junior Sister, you have quite a temper. Do you need senior brother to help you cool down?"
Gu Qing reached out and, with lightning speed, pinched the soft flesh of her cheek, his smile warm and gentle.
"Bastard!"
Luo Li flew into a rage, swatting his hand away. Her gaze was as cold as a blade, her aura imposing and domineering, like a queen on the verge of erupting.
However, her delicate earlobes had turned a flush of red, which deeply betrayed her, indicating that her heart was not calm.
"Heh!"
Gu Qing chuckled softly. Teasing a ruthless and cruel villain felt quite interesting.
However, he also knew the principle of stopping at the right time, so after giving her another pinch, he immediately changed the subject.
"Let's go inside and talk."
"Bastard, shameless. You are not allowed to lay a hand on me again in the future. There should be no physical contact between men and women."
He had pinched her again and again, how hateful.
All of Luo Li's image—her nobility and coldness, her domineering aura that looked upon all living things as ants—was completely destroyed by Gu Qing.
In her anger, she became angry, and after holding back again and again, she suppressed the urge to teach Gu Qing a lesson.
After all, she still had to rely on Gu Qing; this was the great mountain pressing down on her.
Currently, she did not have the ability to turn the tables and be her own master.
For now, she would just have to tolerate him.
But she would not let Gu Qing get away with suppressing her like this.
She swore that once she broke through to the Saint Realm, she would fiercely step on Gu Qing's face to vent the hatred in her heart.
Thinking this, Luo Li glared at him fiercely, snorted coldly, and turned to enter the cave abode.
"Interesting." An angry Luo Li was actually quite cute.
Gu Qing laughed. Was the female villain pondering how to get revenge on him?
What a pity, that would never be possible in this lifetime.
He was a man who used cheats.
"Eh, who is this person?"
"I don't know."
The people guarding the cave abode's formation were shocked and dumbfounded.
Luo Li was a peerless goddess, domineering and arrogant, proud and unparalleled.
The descendants of those holy lands and immortal families were not even worthy of carrying Luo Li's shoes.
Someone as noble as Luo Li was actually pinched on the cheek?
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have never dared to believe it.
So, just who was this sacred being who pinched Luo Li?
Was he just a simple senior brother?
He didn't look like it.
Inside the great hall, Gu Qing swept his divine sense around, secretly admiring it greatly.
Throughout the entire cave abode, there were over a hundred people at the Void Dao Realm, ten at the King Realm, and three at the Venerable Realm.
Added all together, they were enough to rival a typical holy land.
For Luo Li to recruit so many powerful experts in such a short time, she was truly a talent.
Furthermore, the cave abode's formation was also extraordinary; it was a Saint-grade grand formation.
It could be said that Luo Li could have already established a holy land of her own.
"Why did you recruit so many people?" Gu Qing asked curiously.
Raising powerful experts was good, but you also had to give them benefits.
"None of your business."
Luo Li rolled her eyes, her cold and domineering face gaining a touch of charm, making her look enchantingly beautiful.
Living in this world, one cannot go a single day without power and influence.
Using the name of the Star God Palace, things went incredibly smoothly for her.
With just a few words, these people would willingly risk their lives for her, collecting all kinds of resources.
As for the benefits promised to them, it was simple.
She made those small powers pay tribute to her; if they refused, she would exterminate their entire clan.
Furthermore, if she took a liking to any treasure, she would just have them go and snatch it themselves, and she could even have first pick of the treasures.
So, recruiting powerful experts had many benefits; why wouldn't she do it?
"Heh!"
Gu Qing felt his hands getting itchy again; a senior brother's dignity could not be challenged.
"Senior brother, hurry up and refine pills for me. I've collected enough materials for several hundred batches of Ninth-Grade Spirit Pills."
A flash of panic crossed Luo Li's eyes as she quickly leaned back; she was truly afraid of being pinched again.
That feeling was too shameful.
"This much?" Gu Qing was stunned.
The spiritual herbs for refining Ninth-Grade Spirit Pills were extremely rare and precious.
The cheapest ones cost at least several hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones, while the expensive ones could even sell for over a hundred million.
And one batch of Ninth-Grade Pills required at least several dozen to over a hundred spiritual herbs.
Yet Luo Li had collected enough for several hundred batches in three years; just how many forces had she robbed?
"Mm, senior brother, just refine them as you see fit."
Luo Li passed her storage ring to him.
Gu Qing swept it with his divine sense and fell silent.
Inside were not only Ninth-Grade spiritual herbs, but there were also over ten million spiritual herbs of the Third Grade and above.
Such a massive amount of spiritual herbs—one didn't even need to think hard to know they were absolutely obtained through coercion, enticement, or outright robbery.
In other words, Luo Li had committed boundless slaughter across the Haori Divine Continent, and even the several surrounding great continents, these past few years.
Who knew how many forces had been persecuted by Luo Li.
"Create a little less bad karma from killing. It's not good for you. If you give birth to a heart demon, the losses will outweigh the gains," Gu Qing couldn't help but advise.
"Heh."
Luo Li sneered and said coldly, "Heaven nurtures all things to provide for man, but man has nothing to give back to Heaven. Heaven and Earth nurture humanity, yet mortals still complain that Heaven and Earth are unrighteous."
For mortals to eat grains and slaughter cattle, horses, chickens, and ducks for nourishment is not wrong.
For cultivators to consume the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth, kill demonic beasts, and seize spiritual herbs and treasures is not wrong.
She kills people and exterminates their clans to take what she needs; what is wrong with that?
She is not wrong.
Luo Li's conscience is clear; where would a heart demon come from?
"Forget it, it's fine as long as your conscience is clear."
Hearing Luo Li say this, Gu Qing knew that Luo Li's state of mind was transcendent, viewing all living beings as equals.
There was no difference between people and weeds.
His advice was unnecessary.
Gu Qing was not a saint; the life and death of the people of the world had nothing to do with him.
Thinking this, Gu Qing asked, "By the way, which blind bastard deceived you? Quickly tell your big brother, and I will surely tear him limb from limb."
"…"
