The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Chapter 492: Shrewdness

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

It was obvious that Ji Mengtian and Die Feiyu working together could achieve sweeping victory at the small battlefield. They could deal with any large group of alien races.

All would shudder at the might of the Quasi Relic. Not even Lu Li could get away even though he was speedy unless he generated clones to facilitate his fleeing. Once he was near the Quasi Relic, death was the only end.

That willow twig didn't seem much but the power it contained was frightening. It could whip a warrior of the Feather Face to death, making no mistake. Lu Li believed that the Feather Race warriors weren't weaker than him in physical strength.

Even if he was not killed at once, the willow twig could come back at him several more times. How long could he hold out?

Ji Mengtian was from the Royal Family with eighth rank Bloodline and other amazing abilities. She had already struck fear in Lu Li by only using the Quasi Relic and not her other skills.

This woman was not only beautiful, but also talented and powerful!

At this moment, Lu Li suddenly tumbled to some fact. Ji Mengtian was not only demonstrating her abilities by making this move, but also to deter Lu Li.

If Lu Li chose not to cooperate with her, he would make himself her…enemy. Ji Mengtian could whip at him with her willow twig and he would kick the bucket.

This intangible deterrence made even Jiang Qiling feel inferior to Ji Mengitan. Jiang Qiling was the future chosen warrior but she hadn't demonstrated her power yet. At this moment, the most favored young lady of the Central Plains was still Ji Mengtian.

Jiang Qiling should not be blamed. For the past few years, she had given herself up. Not only did she not cultivate, she loathed life and herself. Inferiority complex was built in her character.

She wasted the best years in her life. Her abilities, mental state, bearing and other attributes could not match those of Ji Mengtian's.

Confident women were the most beautiful. Ji Mengtian had been the most favored young lady of the Central Plains for many years because confidence was in her DNA. Every act and every move, every twinkle and every smile she had could be tempting. Compared to her, Jiang Qiling was an underdeveloped girl.

The beauty of a woman was not only about appearances, but also bearings and movements. Even a wink or a hair flipping move could be a beautiful addition.

From Lu Li's standpoint, Ji Mengtian had a full mark in many regards. She was a rarely seen beauty that could enchant men in the entire world. Of course, Lu Li didn't like her. Instead, he was scared of her. This woman was not only toxic but also cruel in her heart.

Soon, the battle came to an end. All of the Feather Race died. Not a single one survived.

Ji Mengtian and Die Feiyu flew back. Die Feiyu seemed a bit proud but Ji Mengtian had not change of emotions. She put on a gentle smile, like a young lady that had come back from a spring trip.

Even though Ji Mengtian showed no signs of showing off, Jiang Qiling felt upset. She sensed her thunder was stolen and turned her face away.

Lu Li, on the other hand, walked over with a smile, cupped his fists and said, "Young Ladies, you have been so heroic. Lady Die, your ability is shocking to all. Lady Ji, you are so powerful and you killed them as if they were nothing but dogs. It is quite an eye-opener. I admire you greatly!"

Die Feiyu was cheered up by his words and her cheeks blushed. Ji Mengtian stayed collected and replied with a light smile, "Young Master Lu, you flatter me. I am relying on the might of the Xuan Artifact. It was nothing."

Lu Li looked at the emerald green vase in her hand and asked an impolite question, "Lady Ji, what is this vase called? Can you…let me have look?"

"Eh?"

Die Feiyu and others were shocked. Jiang Qiling pouted and Jiang Hu and the rest could not believe what they just heard. How odd was this request? That was Quasi Relic. Not everyone could look at it. What if Lu Li took it away or destroyed it?

Lu Li looked into Ji Mengtian's eyes. He had asked this question on purpose and the answer he received was unexpected to him.

Ji Mengtian was not offended or hesitating. Her eyes showed no signs of change. She handed the emerald green vase over to Lu Li generously and said, "Young Master Lu, have a look at your will."

Lu Li took it over in one hand, examined it casually and gave it back. He exclaimed, "This is good stuff, good. Thank you, Lady Ji."

Lu Li didn't put on much expression and kept surprise to his heart.

Ji Mengtian was so sophisticated and shrewd. She could give her Quasi Relic to anyone and the most important thing was that she didn't look any different while doing it. Not even an old woman who had lived a full life could do this, let alone a teenage young lady.

Lu Li knew another one that was as sophisticated, his cousin, Lu Suan. Lu Suan and Ji Mengtian might be able to remain calm even the end of the world was coming.

The title "Most Favored Young Lady" was well-deserved!

Lu Li felt humbled and he became more vigilant toward Ji Mengtian. He must be careful of her or he could die in her hand without knowing.

"We just finished our battle here. I am afraid that more alien races are coming. We must leave now." Ji Mengtian glanced to the surroundings and said.

After she finished her words, the others began to prepare for their trip. Even Jiang Hu followed her orders out of instinct. It seemed like this young lady had a leadership bearing in her that could convince people.

Jiang Qiling felt frustrated. Lu Li shook his head to her to prevent her from doing anything. Previously, Lu Li had been trying to avoid Ji Mengtian and Die Feiyu but now, he wanted them to stay.

Ji Mengtian was too dangerous. If she was with Lu Li and Jiang Qiling, he could keep tabs on her moves so as not to step into her traps. Better an open enemy than a false friend. It was unlikely that Ji Mengtian would kill them in public.

To Lu Li, Ji Mengtian was not an enemy, one that he could not mess with right now, one that would step to his opposing side sooner or later.

Therefore, Lu Li wanted to go with her, observe her means, and learn more about her to find any vulnerabilities she had. In the future when they were at opposing side, he would not be helpless.

The team traveled fast. The unique terrain here made it unsuitable for big teams to march. Currently, with two teams combine, there were about 45 on the big team. Inevitably, the line was stretched out.

Lu Li walked with Jiang Qiling. None released their Beads of Life or Fate Wheels. They travelled on foot which was easier.

Die Feiyu walked in the front with some warriors. She could be regarded as a super human shield that could not be cracked. Ji Mengtian walked in the middle of the team, controlling the big picture like a general. Lu Li and others were at the back.

After two hours, they met some other alien races. There were quite a number of them, dozens of barbarians.

Ji Mengtian gave an order to kill. They acted as they did before with Die Feiyu luring the enemies and Ji Mengtian and her warriors laying siege to the barbarians in case they fled.

But this time, Ji Mengtian didn't kill those herself. She flew over to Lu Li and Jiang Qiling like a beautiful butterfly and said with a smile, "Lady Jiang, Young Master Lu, when I used my Xuan Artifact, I have hurt my vigor. Can you two please go and kill those barbarians?"

Ji Mengtian's tone was gentle but Jiang Qiling felt it harsh. She answered without any hesitation, "Okay, Lady Ji, you wait here and see. We will slaughter our enemies this time."

Lu Li sighed. He knew that this would come sooner or later. If he didn't do something this time, Ji Mengtian would force him into action next time.

With a glare, a Fate Wheel came out from his abdomen. He waved to Jiang Qiling who hopped on. Lu Li controlled his Fate Wheel and flew away.

Ji Mengtian watched as they went. A smile slowly climbed onto her face.
