The Invincible Dragon Emperor

Chapter 579: The Pot Calling the Kettle Back

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

It was embarrassing for Lu Li. Being caught in the act of adultery would make anyone shameful.

But Lu Li had never thought of hitting on Lady Seven or having sex with her, so he was not that guilty.

Now that it had happened, Lu Li must think of a way to resolve the matter, which was not easy for him. The person was the young master from the You Family. If Lu Li made a scene, he would not be able to leave unscratched. But if not, You Yi would not let it go. Surely Lu Li wouldn't just stand there and let himself be slayed.

Lady Seven couldn't stay calm, either. No woman in the act of adultery could be so when caught by her own husband. But she recovered quickly. She covered her naked body with the quilt, sat up and said, "You Yi, is this really necessary? Have you not toyed with many women before? You are a pot calling a kettle dark. Don't forget that you hit on the Saintess and got your penis broken. If you didn't do any of that, would I be like this? Don't make a big deal out of this. I don't care if the You Family will be embarrassed."

"You jezebel! I will kill you!"

Having his old wound reopened, You Yi flew into a great rage. Men were sensitive about their reputation. You Yi felt he had been under the worst humiliation when his bedroom issue was being told in other's presence.

You Yi swung his saber at Lady Seven at once. But Lady Seven looked at him with deride. She didn't hide or dodge and just said calmly, "Go ahead, kill me. Let's see what you are going to tell the Tu Family."

Lady Seven's words made You Yi panic. In the end, he moved his saber, cutting the bed in half. He smashed Lady Seven away with another hand.

"Hmm, I will kill this bastard man first and then I will torture and slay you!"

You Yi turned around and looked at Lu Li indignantly. He began to wield his saber at Lu Li.

You Yi was at the peak of the Eternal Realm, which was nothing for Lu Li. His expressions began to turn solemn at this moment.

He had made up his mind. It was not his aspiration to have sex with Lady Seven so he didn't have to feel guilt. On the other hand, You Yi once tried to violate Lu Ling, which had turned You Yi into Lu Li's mortal enemy. There wasn't much to worry about now for Lu Li.

His strong psychic power surged into You Yi's Soul Pond and shocked him still right on the spot. Lu Li reached out his hand, grabbed You Yi's neck and lifted him up.

"Um…"

Lady Seven was smashed away but she had forgotten her pain and her naked body. She looked at Lu Li with worry and didn't expect that the table had turned.

She saw that Lu Li had made a slight turn, grabbed You Yi's neck while snatching You Yi's saber with another hand and pressed it against You Yi's neck.

Lu Li was at the initial stage of the Eternal Realm and You Yi the peak. Even though You Yi was a pampered young master with little abilities, it was still surprising to Lady Seven to see him being overwhelmed in such an easy way.

Taking down You Yi was not the hard part. The difficult lied within how to wind the matter up.

Lu Li turned to Lady Seven and asked, "Will we be in trouble soon if I kill You Yi? I mean, will we be fine for 10 days? I don't think it matters after the war starts."

"No!"

Lady Seven shook her head and said, "You Yi is a disciple of the immediate You Family. He has his jade talisman of life at the You Family. They will know right away if he dies."

"You are right. He cannot die now."

Lu Li frowned and said after some thoughts, "Then should we lock him up for now? We can throw him out of the city after the war starts. The three forces can kill him."

Lady Seven's eyebrows were knitted together. She was still in shock and confusion. She didn't know what to do at this stage. You Yi could not be killed. But they would also be in trouble if the You Family found out that You Yi was locked up. On the other hand, if they let You Yi go, he would make a scene. This was a conundrum.

"Put your clothes on. Let the maid shut the doors and tell them not to say anything."

Lu Li said coldly. His words allowed for no doubt. Lady Seven put her clothes back on soon and walked out to give the maids some orders. It all happened so fast that the maids outside hadn't reacted. They hadn't left to ask for help.

When Lady Seven came back, Lu Li had sat down on a chair comfortably. You Yi had collapsed to the ground. Lady Seven was scared as she asked, "You killed him?"

"No, only knocked him unconscious!"

Giving You Yi a casual glance, Lu Li continued, "Lock him up now. The war is about to start. After that, nobody will have time to worry about him. If the city falls, it matters even less that he is dead or alive."

Lady Seven had been flurried but she had found support in Lu Li's calmness. She collected herself and was convinced by Lu Li's idea. She nodded and said, "Yes, if the city falls, we can run away. You Yi's life will not be something we should concern ourselves about. The war is about to begin in a couple of days. We can lock him up during this time."

Lu Li put his mind at ease. After the war commenced, if it went well, Lu Ling could reunite with him. If not, he would take Lu Ling away by force. The last thing he worried about was You Yi's death.

Lu Li took out Demon Trapping Chains right away to tie You Yi up and throw him into another room. Lu Li didn't leave for fear that You Yi would escape or be rescued by the You Family. In either cases, Lu Li would be hunted down by the You Family.

Lu Li deliberated about it and decided to live in the yard for a couple more days. For one thing, he could keep an eye on You Yi. For another, he could ask Lady Seven to send someone to gather information. What was more, the yard was clean and comfortable. Lu Li could enjoy some fine dining and wine here instead of going back to the hellhole of Meng Ji's yard.

Lady Seven had lost her desire after this mess. She felt ill at ease. She didn't bother Lu Li any further and was staying in her room alone with her random thoughts.

After dawn, Lady Seven fell asleep. Lu Li left for Meng Ji's yard secretly and left a message with some codes on it in case Third Patriarch didn't know where Lu Li had gone.

Then he returned to Lady Seven's villa. He sat next to You Yi and cultivated. You Yi woke up after a moment but was knocked unconscious again.

Lady Seven heard the noise so she came to see. When she saw Lu Li sat next to You Yi, cultivating in comfort, she felt relaxed somehow. But she was in a low spirit and went back to her room to catch up on sleep.

Lady Seven was still asleep by noon. A man floated in like a shadow. The maids noticed nothing. He entered Lu Li's room directly.

"Shh~"

Lu Li opened his eyes and looked at Third Patriarch, signaling him not to speak. Then Lu Li took out a writing brush and some paper on which he wrote many words before he handed it to Third Patriarch.

He told Third Patriarch in writing that he had confirmed Saintess was Lu Ling and asked Third Patriarch to think of a way to leave the city and have God of Meng and Ye Cha find a place to hide outside of the city so they could come in rescue at Lu Li's command at any time.

When the war started, powerful warriors would swarm out. Master of the Drifting Cloud Hall who was at the Human Sovereign Realm would leave for sure. As long as there were no Human Sovereign Realm warriors in the city, God of Meng could come in and defeat others to take Lu Ling away.

Third Patriarch was cheered up by the great news that the Saintess was Lu Ling. It would make their rescue effort much easier.

Lu Li and Third Patriarch discussed the codes they were going to use before Third Patriarch left quietly to contact God of Meng and Ye Cha. Lu Li sat down again to meditate, waiting for the upcoming war.
