These two country bumpkins from the border, just like every other country bumpkin, couldn't help but feel dizzy from Heavenly Capital's prosperity. When they woke up, more than an hour had already passed. There was an endless stream of people around them, tall buildings that were like fish scales, dazzling lights everywhere. The two of them felt as if they fell into an ocean of sand, completely losing their sense of direction.
Li Ku picked up the map, comparing it for a long time with a distressed expression, but in the end, he had no choice but to give up. Suddenly, he saw that Bai Xing was still happily walking forward. His eyes moved, and then he quietly fled towards a nearby alley. However, before he even took two steps, he discovered with horror that Bai Xing appeared in front of him again, currently looking at him with a smile that wasn't a smile.
"It's like this, I saw an old granny who seemed to have fallen, so I came to take a look." He revealed a smile that was even uglier than crying.
"Actually, as long as you don't harm anyone else, I won't interfere with your freedom." Bai Xing said.
"Really?" Li Ku said.
Bai Xing was just about to nod when a pregnant woman staggered over from the other side of the alley. She fell on the ground after just a few steps, holding her stomach as she cried out. She hurriedly ran over to support the woman. "Does madam's stomach hurt?"
The woman's face was pale as she said, "It hurts badly, waves after waves …"
"I fear that she's about to give birth." Bai Xing immediately shouted towards Li Ku. "Hurry and find a flat cart, we are going to send her to the clinic!"
Li Ku first frowned, and then he said in a ruminating manner, "What does her matters have to do with me? I hurt others, yet you care about me, and now, I have to help you do something good? You already said that you won't interfere with my freedom, so I am going to leave now. If you divert your attention to stop me, this woman will definitely die here from pain. I want to see what kind of choice you will make. "
"This is a request from a friend."
Bai Xing's words made Li Ku's steps stop. He turned around, seeing that small face full of pleading expression, and then couldn't help but ask, "Why do you have to care about the life and death of others?"
Bai Xing said, "If everyone watches with folded arms towards suffering, then this world will lose hope."
Li Ku thought for a bit, and then walked onto the street to stop a peddler. He used all of the money he had on him to purchase the peddler's single-wheeled handcart, and then pushed it into the alley. "Don't misunderstand, I'm not acknowledging you. I just feel that with people like you existing in this world, at least it won't be so filthy. I've already asked for the location of the clinic, but are you sure you don't want to find a midwife first? "
"Thank you." Bai Xing thanked him gratefully and carried the woman onto the handcart. "There's no time to find a midwife. We must prepare to deliver the baby immediately."
"Either way, if she dies, don't blame it on me." Li Ku shrugged his shoulders, pushing the woman to the nearest medical hall.
However, there was only one medicine boy in the room. When he heard that he was going to deliver a baby, even if the doctor was there, he wouldn't dare to agree, let alone when the doctor wasn't there. Disregarding all consequences, he was about to chase them out.
"We have nowhere else to go. Please do us a favor and lend us a bed." As Bai Xing spoke, he carried the woman and rushed inside. The medicine boy turned pale with fright and wanted to stop him, but he was scared off by Li Ku's ferocious appearance.
Bai Xing unexpectedly grasped the midwifery technique at his age, methodically directing Li Ku. Li Ku came from the army, his hands clumsy and rough, turning the medical hall into a mess. The medicine boy was furious, only feeling that two robbers had come. If this continued, wouldn't his master shower him with a torrent of abuse when he returned? As such, he sneaked out to report this to the authorities, but just happened to run into a row of fully armed silver-armored guards. He didn't recognize them as palace guards, so he ran over to complain as if he had been wronged. Coincidentally, the leader of this row of guards was none other than the Overlord Ji Polu who would later claim Luojing as his own.
When Ji Polu heard that there were two robbers, he brought his men and barged into the clinic without any explanation. Just then, he heard the cry of a baby. That was the first powerful and forceful announcement of a life being born into this world, filled with a soul-stirring sense of power. After understanding the situation and learning that the medicine boy was falsely accusing him, he immediately became furious, grabbing him and giving him a few fierce slaps.
"Catch." Bai Xing cut the umbilical cord in a practiced manner, handing the baby to Li Ku. Li Ku caught it in a fluster. When he saw such a small life, his hands couldn't help but tremble, fearing that he would hurt her too much.
It was a girl.
"What are your names? Where did you come from? Not bad!" Ji Polu moved over, giving the two of them a thumbs up.
Li Ku said coldly, "Before asking others, shouldn't you first introduce yourself?"
"Insolence!" The guard's expression changed, about to draw his blade and give Li Ku a show of strength, but he was stopped by Ji Polu. He sized up Li Ku a few times, and then laughed loudly. "Hahahaha, my name is Ji Polu, a good-for-nothing fella, there's no need to mention my family. For the sake of fairness, there shouldn't be any harm in only asking for your names, right? "
"Li Ku."
"Bai Xing."
This was the process of the three getting to know each other. It wasn't full of ups and downs, nor was it thrilling.
Li Ku's recollection stopped here, because the sound of footsteps interrupted his thoughts. To be more precise, it was the sound of the void rippling. He and the little Daoist child both looked over, only to see Zhang Yifeng treading on the void, smiling and cupping his hands towards the two of them from afar.
"Lihen Heaven's losses are so great, yet you're still in the mood to smile." Li Ku mocked.
Their location was a cemetery, and the main tomb of the cemetery had the words' Overlord Ji Polu 'written on it.
Zhang Yifeng landed lightly, bowing towards the tombstone. Li Ku couldn't help but mock, "A dead soul from a thousand years ago actually bowing to a junior, I really don't know if you're humble or arrogant."
"The dead should be respected." Zhang Yifeng said seriously.
"If not for Lihen Heaven, you would have returned to the sea of stars a long time ago." Li Ku said.
"You already said 'if not for'." Zhang Yifeng said with a smile.
Li Ku didn't want to continue on this topic, frowning. "You should have made some gains during this time, right? What method did the Dragon Emperor court use to control those experts? "
"It's the God Binding Ring." Zhang Yifeng said.
"The God Binding Ring?" Li Ku's frown deepened, "It's useful against the Divine Domain?"
"They upgraded their treasured artifacts." Zhang Yifeng sighed.
"After dealing with the God Binding Ring, the Wang and Tang Families will definitely counterattack the Dragon Emperor." Li Ku said.
"In this world, only two people can deal with it." Zhang Yifeng said.
"Which two?" Li Ku said.
"Gu Haiyuan and Liu Xingfeng." Zhang Yifeng said.
"Gu Haiyuan is dead, Liu Xingfeng is in the Demon Realm, he can't even invite him." Li Ku said.
"So the Wang and Tang Families can't be won over, they can only be destroyed together." Zhang Yifeng smiled as he said these terrifying words.
Li Ku said, "That brat Yan Li has already descended, you have to find a way to make him fulfill his promise. You said that Swallow Fort is an indispensable force to destroy the Dragon Emperor, I will wait for seven days at most."
"That's enough."
