Xiao Qi said, "You still have a third secret manual!"
Huang Feiyun's face darkened.
Chu Li said, "Huang Feiyun, you should know that you can't do it again and again. Otherwise, don't blame us for being merciless!"
"Alright." Huang Feiyun took a deep breath and picked up a poetry book from the table. He passed it to Xiao Qi. "This is the real one!"
Xiao Qi quickly flipped through it and passed it to Chu Li.
Chu Li nodded and smiled in satisfaction. "Thank you, Chiliarch Huang. We'll meet again!"
"I hope we never meet again!" Huang Feiyun scoffed.
Chu Li said, "That depends on whether you'll come and provoke us again! The experts in the dark and the experts in the light can fight against us. You can give it a try! "
"Goodbye, I won't see you out!" Huang Feiyun said coldly.
He felt a chill in his heart. It seemed like he could not hide his thoughts from the two of them. How terrifying!
Chu Li said, "I'll take my leave then."
Xiao Qi put her hand on his shoulder and disappeared from the study.
Huang Feiyun let out a long sigh of relief. He had finally sent off the two pests!
He frowned and thought about who stole the second secret manual. How dare they steal from the tiger's mouth!
Chu Li and Xiao Qi fluttered back to the inn.
"Aren't you going after that guy?" Xiao Qi asked softly.
Chu Li shook his head. "It's better to let him suffer a little!"
He had already noticed the middle-aged man lying outside Huang Feiyun's courtyard with his aura concealed. He was also an ambitious man who wanted to learn from Huang Feiyun's rise.
Chu Li was happy to have someone restrain Huang Feiyun, so he pretended not to know.
"I'm afraid he'll get greedy!" Xiao Qi said.
"It's not too late to teach him a lesson then," Chu Li said.
Xiao Qi nodded. "Can you cultivate this secret skill?"
"No problem." Chu Li nodded.
"How long will it take to recover?" Xiao Qi asked.
She did not know that Chu Li had the Life and Death Scripture and could recover his martial arts at any time. She was not so worried because he had divine power.
However, it was different now. The environment was dangerous, so it would be troublesome if his divine power was exposed.
Chu Li pondered for a moment and said, "A month should be enough."
In fact, he was not very interested in this secret manual. This secret skill was derived from the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, but it was far less profound than the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture. His understanding of it was very shallow, and it could only speed up the recovery of his martial arts.
Practicing this required time, but once the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture was reversed, one could immediately recover their martial arts. The difference between the two was huge.
However, since he was using the Life and Death Scripture, he did not need to recover his martial arts. He could instantly replenish his inner energy and recover his cultivation.
"Your Single Slice of the Universe is extremely powerful," Xiao Qi said.
Chu Li nodded. "It's a good way to win by surprise."
The two of them sat at the stone table in the courtyard and chatted.
"I don't think Huang Feiyun will be convinced," Xiao Qi said. "He's trained in the military, so victory and defeat are common for soldiers. He's indomitable!"
Chu Li asked, "How about we subdue him?"
Xiao Qi frowned at him.
Chu Li replied, "I'm not exactly a good person, but I can still be of use to you. You don't have to be stingy when it comes to dispatching me."
Xiao Qi gently shook her head. "I'm too lazy to worry about this."
"Alright, then we'll beat him until he retreats!" Chu Li did not force her.
There was a knock on the door. Xiao Qi waved her sleeves and the courtyard door opened. Two elders stood outside and fist saluted. "Are you Chu Li and Third Lady Xiao?"
"Yes." Chu Li stood up and looked at them. "Are you from the Town Defense Prefecture?"
The two elders nodded. "We're here to inform you that Third Lady Xiao can only stay here for seven days. You'll have to leave after that. This is a rule set by the Emperor. Those who aren't his family members are not allowed to accompany him."
"No problem," Chu Li said.
Xiao Qi frowned. "How about staying for a month?"
"This is a rule set by the Emperor." One of the elders shook his head and sighed. "Third Lady Xiao, many people want to stay for a while, but we dare not disobey the rule set by the Emperor. Otherwise, someone from the Inner Mausoleum will come!"
Chu Li said, "Alright, we won't disobey the rule!"
"That's good. We won't disturb you anymore." The two elders fist saluted and left. They looked kind and polite.
After sending the two off, Xiao Qi frowned.
"My Lady, you can leave." Chu Li smiled. "I can take care of myself."
Xiao Qi glared at him. "You knew about this rule, didn't you?"
Chu Li laughed. "I really didn't!"
"I'll stay." Xiao Qi scoffed.
Chu Li had no cultivation now. If he did not want to be humiliated, he could only use his divine power. However, once he used his divine power, he would never be able to return to Fairy's Capital. He would be trapped here by the Emperor forever!
Chu Li shook his head. "The Emperor's rule can't be disobeyed."
"Then we'll use the name of family!" Xiao Qi said.
Chu Li was stunned.
Xiao Qi said, "Just say that I'm your wife."
Chu Li's eyes widened.
Xiao Qi scoffed. "Isn't this what you want?!"
Chu Li laughed. "This isn't a joke!"
"I'm not joking!" Xiao Qi said. "There's nothing wrong with marrying you."
"Are we pretending to be husband and wife?" Chu Li asked.
Xiao Qi shook her head. "A real husband and wife!"
Chu Li looked at her from head to toe.
Xiao Qi scoffed. "I'm cultivating the Regal Sword Scripture, not turning myself into a rock!"
She was not like other women who placed too much importance on relationships. Her original plan was to be single for the rest of her life. She wanted to pursue the ultimate boundary of martial arts and cultivate the Regal Sword Scripture to perfection. She wanted to give up on relationships completely.
However, Chu Li had unknowingly walked into her heart. She resisted it because she cultivated the Regal Sword Scripture. She used the Intellectual Sword to cut the threads of love, but later on, she realized that she could not cut them off. Every time she seemed to cut them off, the threads became thinner and harder to notice but stronger.
Now, no matter how hard she tried, she could not cut them off. There was always a worry in her heart.
This time, Chu Li's martial arts was crippled. If he was left alone, she did not know what kind of humiliation he would suffer. She could not stand it when she thought about it. She was not going to marry anyway, so she might as well marry Chu Li.
Once she made this decision, she suddenly felt a strong sense of relief. She no longer had to struggle with the shackles of love. She might as well surrender. There were signs of a breakthrough in the Regal Sword Scripture.
Chu Li shook his head. "You don't have to do this."
"You don't want to marry me?" Xiao Qi frowned and stared at him. "Or do you have someone else in your heart?"
Chu Li laughed. "How is that possible!"
"Lu Yurong, right?" Xiao Qi asked.
Chu Li felt that Xiao Qi was exceptionally cute at this moment. She finally had some aura and was no longer as unattainable as a fairy.
"She's beautiful and smart. She has a tacit understanding with you." Xiao Qi nodded.
Chu Li said, "She and I are destined to be rivals. Our minds and temperaments are similar. It's because we're similar that we repel each other."
Xiao Qi glanced at him with a faint smile.
Chu Li smiled. "If that's the case, I'll gladly accept a beauty like you!"
"I have a condition," Xiao Qi said.
"Say it," Chu Li said.
Xiao Qi said, "We can't sleep together. The Regal Sword Scripture can't be a virgin."
She was a little shy and tried to maintain her cold gaze. She tried to avoid Chu Li's gaze. Chu Li was moved and wanted to hug her.
"Alright." Chu Li nodded, pretending not to care.
Xiao Qi picked up her teacup and took a sip. She avoided Chu Li's burning gaze.
Chu Li also picked up his teacup and took a sip. He stared at her passionately.
