Chapter Fifty-six Life

  "This is all God's will," Lili replied.

  "Does God let people speak vernacular?" Li Xie was even more surprised.

  Lily said, "This is not a common language. What we are speaking is called Huaxia language. Five thousand years ago, or however long it was, when the Supreme God fell, the four great divine kings issued a divine decree that all living beings, including gods and spirits, had to speak Huaxia language. Gradually, except for a small number of living beings who retained their original languages, other living beings could only speak Huaxia language."

  "Oh? Sinitic language?"

  Li Xie suddenly realized something!

  The Huaxia language suddenly appeared and was named "Huaxia", it won't be, five thousand years ago there were people from the country who crossed over to the mainland of the gods!

  It must be! It must be a Chinese person!

  And maybe he even killed the Supreme God! And it was him who forced some god king to spread this language!

  Sleeping Master is here! Dog seller! I shouldn't have been brought over by him too, right? Why did he bring me to the Gods' Continent?

  Li Xie faintly felt that all of this was arranged by someone.

  "Master, what's wrong?" Lili asked anxiously as she saw Li Xie's eyes go blank.

  "Nothing." Li Xie shook his head and smiled at Lily: "Anyway, I'm just a vagabond who picks up scraps! If you want me to go back to Earth, I don't think so! The Gods' Continent is so great, why would I go back? As for how I ended up here, whether there's some conspiracy or not, who cares?! These days of luxury are worth a lifetime, living one more day means earning one more day, no matter what the conspiracy is or who brought me here, when I see him, I'll definitely thank him with a bow! Hehe, being human means knowing how to repay kindness! Lily, don't you think so? Don't say I'm right, tell me what's on your mind!"

  Lily didn't quite understand what Li Xie said, but since her master wanted to know her thoughts, she fell silent for a moment before speaking slowly: "Lily thinks that Master is the best master, and everything he says is right. Lily is very happy serving Master, and Master treats Lily with the utmost kindness as well. Lily is willing to follow Master for her entire life, this is what Master said, repaying kindness."

  "Have you never thought about your own life?" Li Xie had never restrained his slaves, and besides, their slave contracts were all destroyed, they could have lives of their own.

  Lily shook her head slightly, speaking to Li Xie with a smile: "I was born into slavery, and from a young age I grew up in the hands of slave traders. Because I looked good, I didn't suffer much abuse, but I was taught various etiquette and miscellaneous chores until I was 16 years old. Then, I was sold to a noble family, but not long after that, I was sent into the imperial palace. I served as a palace maid for a year before being given to you, Master! All I know is serving others, I don't understand doing anything else. In the past, I never dared to think about having my own life, but I'm very fortunate to have met you, Master! You are my life."

  "It seems your past life was similar to mine, but fate will change. Li Xie smiled and said: "The slave contract is abolished, you can now have your own life, and you're not short of money either. You can get married and have children, I won't stop you."

  Lily's expression turned gloomy, her eyes brimming with tears as she said in a sorrowful voice: "Master, are you abandoning Lily?"

  "No, no, don't get me wrong."

  "No, it must be so!" Lily's tears fell, and she said miserably: "Master doesn't want Lily anymore! Otherwise, why wouldn't Master touch Lily? Master, Lily doesn't want to get married and have children, Lily is Master's! Master, Lily has never been touched by anyone before! Lily's body isn't dirty!"

  Although Lily was only seventeen years old, in fact, she knew more about the bed than ordinary people! Because serving her master, including bed affairs, is also a part of her studies!

  As a slave, if the appearance is ordinary, it will usually be ravaged by the slave trader. If the appearance is good, the slave trader will take care of it carefully, not even touching it, and even teach bedroom skills, asking a special woman to teach, striving for perfection and selling it to the nobility, thereby getting the thickest gold that can be achieved.

  Lily was one of them. To say the least, the eight female servants given to Li Xie by Mercedes VII were all such perfect and flawless commodities!

  "Just kidding, although I'm a bit of a ladies' man, it's just talk, I'm not the kind of guy who does something every time he sees a woman. Alright, stop crying, I won't abandon you." At that moment, Li Xie was moved! Even his mind had fantasies of eating Lilith, as a normal man, if he didn't have such thoughts, then there must be something wrong with him! However, seeing Lilith cry like rain bringing out the beauty of pear blossoms, Li Xie felt a sense of guilt, thinking that he was taking advantage of her vulnerability. Anyway, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future."

  "Does Master really want Lily?"

  "It is." Li Xie replied affirmatively.

  Lily immediately burst into tears and laughed: "Thank you, master."

  "Ah, women crying is really a troublesome thing, smiling looks better. Even life can be dragged into such a state... Come on, continue laughing."

  "Hehe...... Master likes Lily to smile, so Lily will always smile." Lily wiped away the tears on her face and said: "Master, can Lily ask you a question?"

  "Of course." Li Xie sat up and looked at Lily expectantly: "You said that chatting is best when it's back-and-forth, right?"

  "Master, what kind of life do you want to live? Have you ever thought about living your own life?"

  "Uh..."

  This question suddenly stunned Li Xie.

  To talk about it, he himself didn't think about his own life. In the past, he wandered around picking up trash and thought every day about picking up more things, selling some money, being able to eat a warm meal, and finding a place to shelter from the wind and rain for a few days.

  In summer, I can sneak into the construction site to take a cool shower; in winter, I have a bottle of Erguotou to warm myself up.

  It's just a matter of survival!

  Now with a wealth of tens of thousands and at the pinnacle of power, he never thought about what kind of life he wanted to live! He just lived one day at a time.

  At this moment, Li Xie suddenly woke up. In the past, those protagonists were either going to dominate the world or unify the rivers and lakes, or else they would have three thousand beauties at their command!

  It's all nonsense!

  Who would have thought what his life would be like? Who can predict what will happen in the future?

  Everything is being pushed by fate!

  Just like him, thinking of past life is just a memory. Thinking of future life, can't grasp it!

  "No wonder the great master said: Life is not about thinking of the past, nor is it about expecting the future. Life is about learning from the past, grasping the present, and creating the future! Hehe, I'm probably not someone with grand ambitions, just taking it one day at a time and being happy is most important! If there's something that must be done in my life, it would be to go to Chrysanthemum City, look at Sunflower City, and take it down sooner or later! As for what comes next... we'll talk about it later!"

  A person's life isn't what you think it is, or how you want it to be. For Li Ye, the life he could think of was either his daily routine or eating away the 100,000-strong Hunting Leopard Army of Sunflower City, then taking down Sunflower City and getting what Mercedes VII had promised him, and finally taking down Duke Avril!

  There is a pair of invisible hands pushing him forward, maybe he will walk along this path, or perhaps there will be deviations.

  The Tudor Empire is 1,300 kilometers away from the southernmost Chrysanthemum City of the Tudor Dynasty. The speed of the carriage is not fast, but the horses on the mainland of the gods are obviously stronger than those on Earth, and even with a family in tow, they can still travel 100 kilometers a day!

  Time passed on the road, and Li Xie's horse-drawn carriage was getting closer to Chrysanthemum City, arriving at Klang, a dozen kilometers away from Chrysanthemum City.

  "Sir, cross over the mountain forest in front of us and walk another ten kilometers, then we will arrive at Chrysanthemum City." said Kano.

  Li Yelai pulled open the car window curtain, gazing out at the mountains and forests outside, then looked up to see that it was almost dusk. He beckoned for Zeinard to come closer: "No danger?"

  "Rest assured, sir, there will be no danger!"

  "Uh-huh." Li Xie nodded: "Pass down the order, we'll set up camp in that mountain forest tonight and head to Chrysanthemum City tomorrow."

  This forest isn't very big, roughly consisting of three fifty-meter high hills connected together. In the evening glow, it presents a peaceful scene, with only occasional calls from birds returning to their nests.

  However, this mountain forest called "Kilongpo" is not as peaceful as its surface. The people of Chrysanthemum City all know that this mountain forest is not safe! And its name, at some point, was no longer called Kilongpo, and the merchants who came and went liked to call it Thief Slope!

  That's why it's called that, as the name suggests, because at some point in time, a group of bandits came to Kuala Lumpur and took over!

  In the middle of the three hills in Kuala Lumpur, halfway up the mountain, there was a firelight in the distance. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a camp with bright lights.

  Inside the camp, there was a vacant lot where hundreds of people sat on the ground, surrounding a bonfire, roasting meat and drinking wine. Everyone was dressed neatly, with weapons placed beside them, looking like they were preparing to head out after eating their fill!

  In the empty space, there was a wooden chair made of tree roots laid horizontally, and one person was lying on it. The person's lower body wore long pants, and the upper body wore an open-chested leather jacket. His physique was exceptionally tall and large, with eyes that seemed to be about 2.5 meters high! His muscles were solid, his eyebrows were red, and his eyes were tiger-like, looking fierce. There was almost no hair on his head, except for a thick braid as wide as an arm tied at the top of his head, which was very long and could reach his waist. The end of the braid was tied with a three-inch-long rhombus-shaped sharp blade, which he was currently holding in his hand and playing with.

  Look at their formation, they should be a den of thieves, and that one lying at the root of the tree should be the leader of the thieves!

  It's a fact that this is the notorious "Long Tiger Village" in Kuala Lumpur, and the one with the tiger tail braid is the village headman, Reddy Gajendra!

  A bandit rushed in from the gate, to Reddy Gajja's side: "Boss, they've all entered the forest! Now they're chopping trees, and will soon settle down, start a fire and cook!"

  Lei Di looked at him with a strong gaze and said calmly: "Are all arrangements in place?"

  "Everything is ready, 'sleeping fragrance' has been put in the stream. After they drink from the stream, they will soon fall asleep like a pig!"

  "Ah, great!"

  "Boss, I don't quite understand. With your Eight Levels Sword Saint's strength and our over 200 brothers, we could have taken them by force. Why did we follow them for thirty kilometers before making a move? And why use the Sleeping Dream Fragrance? That stuff is extremely difficult to configure, and this time we've almost used up all of Dragon Tiger Fort's stock!"

  Lei Di Ga sat up, a cold glint in his tiger eyes: "You don't understand, those people on the road are not easy to mess with!"

  "But didn't Old Larry say they were just ordinary traders?"

  "Hmph! Does he think I, Mighty Tiger Reddy, am an idiot? An ordinary merchant caravan? That carriage in the middle is the Duke's personal vehicle! It's the infamous Evil Duke's carriage squad from the Imperial Capital! Rumor has it that the Evil Duke has powerful attendants by his side, but it's unclear just how formidable they are. Better to be cautious, no matter how strong he may be - as long as you eat the Sleeping Dream Incense, you'll sleep like a dead pig! As for Old Larry, that guy has ulterior motives, I'll settle the score with him later!"
