The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Chapter 250: Put Your Pride Away

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Lu Li was fearless with a Noble Lord Realm warrior by his side.

Ming Yu said that the Old Man of Heaven Prison had a deal with Lu Li’s father that he would not harm Ming Yu, not to mention Ming Yu was not afraid of Bai Xi. By this logic, there literally was nobody that could hurt Lu Li at the Thousand-island Lake.

Lu Li kept silent for a while and then said with a smile, “Madam, save this, okay? You know better than me of what actually happened. You might just as well tell me directly that I need to bow to you or die. It’s simpler this way.”

“Hmm!”

Madam Yan snorted and said, “Then do you choose to bow to me or die?”

Lu Li shrugged his shoulders, waved to Hunchback Tian and said, “Hunchback Tian, go out and stop anyone from entering.”

Hunchback Tian walked out. Lu Li then looked at the patriarch of the Eternal Realm standing behind Madam Yan and said, “You need to leave as well.”

“Eh?”

Madam Yan and the Patriarch of the Bai Family were shocked. How come Lu Li had the guts to give an order to a patriarch of the Bai Family? Had he lost his mind? Who did he think he was?

Ming Yu suddenly said, “Bai Yan, let your man leave.”

Madam Yan and the patriarch glanced at Ming Yu with a glint of coldness and murdering intent in their eyes. There were few people at the Thousand-island Lake that had the courage to call Madam Yan by her name. This man as so mysterious. Who was he?

Madam Yan’s eyes flickered. After she stared at Ming Yu for a while, she put on a smile and waved her hand, “Bai Ling, go now.”

“Madam…”

The Patriarch was worried. Ming Yu was wearing the Ghost Mask, so his realm could not be sensed. But there was something about him that made people hard to ignore. He was no average Joe. How could the patriarch of the Bai Family stay calm?

“Go. It’s fine!”

Madam Yan again waved her hand, so the patriarch had to leave. Madam Yan was the fourth most important person in the Bai Family. The patriarchs had to listen to her.

Lu Li only walked over to Madam Yan and took a seat after the patriarch left. He said, “Madam, it’s not I don’t want to surrender to you. I really cannot join any families. You are a smart lady. I think you can understand.”

Madam Yan looked at Ming Yu and said, “Can you remove your mask?”

Ming Yu grabbed on the mask to reveal his cold and rigid face, and put the mask back on immediately. Madam Yan had an idea of who he was, but she still put on a bitter smile after her speculation was proven.

She shook her head for a while and looked up to Lu Li. “Nice, you two have put on a show to deceive me. Lu Li, Young Master Lu, Young Master Lu of the great Lu Family. This is amusing for you?”

Then she looked at Ming Yu and said, “Ming Yu, it was you who killed Yu Feijia at the Cliff of Purgatory, right? Was it also you that protected Lu Li at the Heaven Martial Kingdom? Did you invite somebody to disguise as you and show up at the Heaven Punish Auction House? You two are really good. You have made a fool of the Bai Family. Is this fun?”

Ming Yu said nothing, which was basically him saying yes. He stood behind Lu Li, clearly indicating he was the servant and Lu Li was the master. When the master was present, it was not the place for a servant to say anything.

“Not fun!”

Lu Li waved his hand and said, “But Madam, you need to get your facts straight. It was you that made a fool of me in the first place, not the other way around. This time, you cost the lives of about 80% warriors of the Blood Evil Island. If you want to get even, I should be the one doing the math.”

“Young Master Lu!”

Madam Yan’s pretty face grew colder as she said, “This is the Northern Desert, the Thousand-island Lake. This is not the Central Plains. If you want to demonstrate your power, do that when you are back at the Lu Family. If you have stated your identity in the first place, why would I find trouble for you? Do you think you can put pressure on the Bai Family just relying on Ming Yu, who has just reached the Noble Lord Realm?”

“Of course not!”

Ming Yu suddenly said indifferently, “But I have sent a message back to the Lu Family via a secret means. I think not after long, the powerful warriors of the Lu Family will be here to get our Young Master back to the family. My Master may be here in person. Twenty years ago, my Master could already beat warriors of the Human Sovereign Realm. Do you really think the Bai Family can survive the wrath of my Master?”

Madam Yan burst into anger, glared at Ming Yu and said, “How dare you to threaten me?”

Ming Yu looked at Madam Yan coldly and said, “If you really think this is a threat, then so be it. Bai Yan, put your pride away. You are a smart person. You should know what to do.”

Bai Yan said nothing. That conversation was a round of game which she had lost.

Of course, she had already lost when Lu Li presented his identity. She was just trying to redeem some of her pride through words, pure negotiation skills.

Lu Li was Lu Renhuang’s son. Lu Li was the disciple of the Lu Family of the Central Plains!

Just on this one point, the Bai Family could not afford to displease Lu Li. If Ming Yu had spoken the truth about the Lu Family sending powerful warriors to welcome Lu Li back, then Lu Li could just say the word and the Bai Family would be turned into ashes.

“Fine!”

Madam Yan looked at Lu Li and forced a smile. “Young Master Lu, I have made a mistake this time. Name your conditions. Let’s move on. From now on, we will still be friends. As long as your conditions are not too outrageous, I can give consent on behalf of the Bai Family.”

Madam Yan had admitted defeat and surrendered with no strings attached.

The two sides of negotiation were not on equal footing. The Lu Family had one of the most powerful Bloodlines of the Central Plains, a Super Family at the Central Plains, while the Bai Family was only a Fifth-rank one. Any one patriarch of the Lu Family could come and destroy the entire Northern Desert. What leverage did Madam Yan have in bargaining with Lu Li?

Lu Li said nothing. The whole thing was arranged by Madam Yan. So many people dying at the Blood Evil Island was relevant to her doing.

However, he didn’t know how he should name his price now that he had the chance.

Before Ming Yu showed up, he was afraid that Madam Yan was going to get back at the Blood Evil Island. He had not thought about the current situation, so he was at a loss of what to do.

The deceased had passed on. Was he supposed to kill Madam Yan? She was Bai Qiuxue’s aunt. What Bai Qiuxue said was still resounding in Lu Li’s ears. Lu Li really found a friend in Bai Qiuxue.

For Madam Yan, Lu Li did not feel attached to her. She really was worthy of the nickname Black Widow. All she saw was interest. Time and time again, she could be laughing and talking with someone that she was going to kill the next second.

Lu Li waved his hand after a while and said, “Madam, you can go back now and I will tell you what I want later. Oh… I want the God-down Island and I will give it to the Liu Family. I will not stay long at the Thousand-island Lake. I will go to the Central Plains. I don’t really like this shabby place of yours.”

“No problem!”

Madam Yan nodded and agreed more than happily. Xu Chen, Xu Tianwen and Xu Sihe all passed away. The Xu Family had no capacity to continue to control the God-down Island. The fact that Lu Li asked for the island meant that he was ready to let the matter slide.

The Liu Family had always been at Lu Li’s side. Lu Li thought that after three months, Ye Cha and the others would have come out from the small world. If he went to the Central Plains, he would bring Ming Yu with him as well so he wanted to help the Liu Family in whatever way he could.

The Liu Family could soar to the skies after they gained control of the God-down Island. With Bai Family as the supporter, nobody would dare to get the Liu Family into trouble anymore. Lu Li could pay back what he owed to the Liu Family.

Madam Yan got up and walked out. Lu Li did not go to send her away. After she left, she boarded the chariot with the patriarch of the Bai Family without leaving behind any words.

At the outside of the Blood Evil Island, Madam Yan stopped. She looked at the Xu Family warriors at the dock and said, “Listen up. The God-down Island will be Lu Li’s from now on. If you want to stay, you must listen to Lu Li’s orders. If you don’t want to stay, you can leave at will. You can go to the Black Tooth Island. I will ask the Ding Family to settle you down on a third-rank island.”

“Whoosh!”

With that said, Madam Yan flew away immediately with no explanation. Many patriarchs of the Xu Family were getting angry and swearing at her secretly.

She really was a Black Widow, turning her back on old associates. The Xu Family risked many things for her but ended up like this.

Of course, more were afraid. Lu Li had convinced Madam Yan? He actually won her over? If Lu Li wanted to get even, would there be a place for them to go?
