Chu Li caressed her jade-like back and observed his own body thoughtfully.
He realized that after merging with Xiao Qi, there was a strange feeling as if he could sense Xiao Qi's existence. Even if he closed his eyes, he could still feel Xiao Qi beside him. It was as if he had merged with her and could feel her emotions.
He did not know how this feeling was formed, but he was very happy.
With this wonderful feeling, he could come to her side with just a thought. He did not need to use the All-Seeing Divine Power anymore.
Her flawless body made him intoxicated. He wished he could hold her in his arms forever and never separate from her. The land of gentleness was the grave of a hero. Even a hero had a weakness for a beauty. The ancients did not lie.
"Flap flap flap …" Suddenly, the sound of wings flapping came from outside the window.
Chu Li's Omniscient Mirror saw a snow-white bird standing outside the window. He waved his hand and the window opened. The snow-white bird hopped in and landed on the bed. It looked at Xiao Qi with its black eyes.
Xiao Qi stretched out her snow-white arms. The brocade quilt fell to the ground, revealing her snow-white shoulders. Her silky black hair was draped over her shoulders. The black and white contrasted with each other. The black was translucent while the white was crystal clear. It was breathtaking.
She took the small bamboo tube from the bird's feet and patted its back.
The snow-white bird chirped and turned into a white light that shot out of the window and disappeared.
Chu Li's Omniscient Mirror saw it fly straight into the sky and merge into the clouds like a stream of light. After a while, it disappeared from his observation range. It was shockingly fast. It was a few times faster than a martial arts master's Light-body Technique.
"What a clever little fella." Chu Li praised.
Xiao Qi said, "This is a mutated snow sparrow … It's news from the High Duke's Public House."
"What happened?" Chu Li frowned.
He sensed that Xiao Qi's mood was suddenly down. He did not use the Omniscient Mirror. It was purely telepathy.
Xiao Qi looked at him and did not say a word.
Chu Li smiled. "What else can't I know?"
"It's better if you don't know." Xiao Qi sighed and hugged him tightly again.
Xiao Qi, who had completely turned into a woman, had a different mentality. She was no longer as indifferent as before.
Chu Li patted her shoulder. "Tell me."
Xiao Qi sighed. "The High Duke's Public House lost two Protectors."
Chu Li frowned. "Who did this!?"
His tone was light, but it contained a dense killing intent.
The High Duke's Public House was his root, and he would not allow anyone to invade it. Killing the Protectors of the High Duke's Public House was no different from killing him, so he must eliminate the other party.
"… I don't know." Xiao Qi sighed softly. "But I think it's King An."
"He …?" Chu Li's expression turned solemn as he said coldly, "He finally couldn't hold it in any longer!"
He had been thinking of ways to divert Prince An's attention. He asked Lu Yu Rong to assassinate him so that Prince An would not have any ideas on the House of High Duke.
"Second Eldest Sister has decided to return to the Imperial Residence," Xiao Qi said.
Chu Li said, "This is exactly what King An wants!"
"If Second Eldest Sister doesn't return, King An will kill the Protectors of the High Duke's Public House," Xiao Qi said. "Second Eldest Sister doesn't want to implicate the High Duke's Public House."
"What happens after she goes back?" When Chu Li thought of this, his heart was filled with murderous intent. He wished he could kill King An right there and then, so that everything would disappear without a trace, so that Siao Shi could live a peaceful life, and so that the House of High Dukes could be at peace.
"… I guess Second Eldest Sister will completely become King An's." Xiao Qi frowned.
Chu Li sneered. "In the end, King An still wants to kill me!"
Xiao Qi said, "Isn't he lusting after Second Eldest Sister's beauty?"
"Which man isn't lustful?" Chu Li sneered. "Of course he lusts after Second Lady's beauty, but there are many ways to possess Second Lady. He just had to use such a drastic method to provoke me."
"He's hoping that you'll assassinate him?" Xiao Qi frowned. "Then he'll borrow the Emperor's hand to kill you?"
Chu Li slowly nodded.
He suddenly looked towards the southwest direction and shook his head. "It's a two-pronged attack. He even sent someone over!"
Xiao Qi quickly extended her hand to retrieve her clothes. Chu Li gently shook his head. "No need, leave it to me."
Xiao Qi retracted her snow-white arm.
Chu Li put on his clothes and disappeared in a flash.
The four old men landed without a sound. They made a hand gesture and slowly walked toward the bedroom.
Their eyebrows were all white, their eyes were bright and threatening, and their cultivation level was shockingly high.
Chu Li suddenly appeared behind one of the elders and slammed his palm on his back. It was calm and precise.
The elder was hit without any reaction. He did not even have time to dodge.
"Bang!" The elder was sent flying and remained motionless after landing on the ground.
The other three elders turned around and pounced on him.
The three of them were shocked. They felt an invisible force wrapping around them, hindering their movements. It was as if it wanted to immobilize them, so they could not help but slow down.
However, Chu Li suddenly sped up and appeared behind one of the elders like a ghost.
Under the Heavenly Demonic Field, they were bound and hindered, and their cultivation level was reduced by one level. However, Chu Li was like a fish in water in the Heavenly Demonic Field. His speed was faster than usual.
The four elders had more than two hundred years of cultivation, but their hands and feet were tied at this moment. Their movements were slow, and they were easily sent flying by Chu Li.
The Heavenly Demonic Energy drilled into their bodies and devoured their inner energy.
Chu Li slammed his palm on them again and instantly swept away their cultivation level. The remaining Heavenly Demonic Power killed them and they died.
The whole process happened in the blink of an eye. Chu Li faced four masters with two hundred years of cultivation easily as if he was dealing with an Innate Master.
He fluttered back into the house. Xiao Qi had already put on a gown and covered her graceful body. She was tying up her hair. "Was it sent by King An?"
Chu Li nodded. "It seems like King An's power has increased greatly. He can even send four masters with more than two hundred years of cultivation."
"Could it be the Emperor?" Xiao Qi frowned.
Chu Li shook his head. "The Emperor won't intervene. It should be a martial arts faction."
Every first-rate sect had their own Grandmasters. Although it was an unspoken rule that only masters who were below a hundred years old would be active outside, those who were above a hundred years old would cultivate in seclusion within the mountain. However, during critical moments, these hidden masters would still appear.
Grandmasters had a lifespan of three hundred years. Those with more than two hundred years of cultivation were already the top. They were the foundation of the faction. Since they were sent out, it was obvious that King An had made a big wish and distributed enough benefits.
This also showed that King An was anxious. He was like a gambler who had lost all his money and was crazy to the point that he did not care about anything else.
"Will Second Eldest Sister be in danger?" Xiao Qi frowned.
If such a master did not come to assassinate her, but to kidnap Second Eldest Sister, then the masters of the Public House would not be able to withstand it. If King An was only after Second Eldest Sister's beauty, he might not wait for her to reach the Imperial Residence. He might even make a move halfway!
Thinking about this, she was restless and anxious.
Chu Li said, "Don't worry. I will know if anything happens to Second Lady."
"… I'll go to Second Eldest Sister." Xiao Qi said softly.
She was really worried about Xiao Shi's Protectors.
Chu Li pondered for a moment and slowly nodded. "Alright."
