Chapter 174: Owe You My Life

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Lu Lis confidence didnt stem from the fact that he cracked the mysteries of the maze but that Little White could find the exit.

As a matter of fact, Lu Li got lost in the maze as well. Eventually, Little White suddenly found him and easily led him to Bai Qiuxue and the team. Lu Li asked if it could find the exit, and Little White nodded with pride. The little beast was smart. Lu Li had complete trust in it.

Lu Li didnt know how Little White did it, yet since it could find him and bring him to Bai Qiuxue, then it must be able to find the exit.

This small beast was really wonderful. It could control low rank Xuan Beasts and find Inhibition Formations in the Bamboo Hill. At the Blood Evil Island, Little White helped Lu Li and the Liu Family warriors to easily avoid the Inhibition Formations. All these testified that in some aspects, Little White was gifted.

The team followed Little White. They took so many turns that they became confused. Little White still showed no signs of stopping, but it hadnt led them to the exit, either.

After eight or even ten hours, someone started complaining and doubting. Some Young Ladies were even saying they wanted to rest. Bai Qiuxue threw them a cold glance which shut them all up.

They pressed forward for another eight or 10 hours, and even Lu Li became dizzy. But he had no doubt of Little White.

"Lu Li, lets take a rest. Who knows how long we are going to walk?"

Bai Xiashuang said. She was exhausted, physically and spiritually. They had been walking and eating prepared food at the same time with no rest.

"A little longer!"

Seeing Little White didnt stop, Lu Li turned back and replied. Bai Qiuxue waved her hand and the team followed up.

Another four hours passed. This time, even Bai Qiuxue wanted to stop. Looking at the tiredness of everyone, and their doubting expressions, Lu Li shouted to Little White, "Little White, lets take a rest."

"Squeak, squeak~"

Little White looked back at Lu Li and screamed. Then it rushed forward again, excitement filled its small eyes. Judging by the situation, Lu Li said nothing but to continue on his way regardless of the team behind him.

"Stand it for a little longer."

Bai Qiuxue sighed helplessly. The rest started swearing at Lu Li. Many people began to question him.

At another crossing in front of them, Little White became even more cheered up. It turned back and screamed and then dashed forward to the left. Lu Li was very happy. It would seem that they were about to arrive at the exit.

He caught up. The exhausted team followed him. After 800 feet and 240 inches, Little White suddenly stopped. Lu Li looked to the front and was shocked.

Becausethere was no road. It was a wall.

The others arrived as well. They were also confused when they saw the wall. The confusion turned into wrath soon. They had been walking on for more than 20 hours now and Lu Lis Little Beast showed everyone to a dead end?

"Lu Li, this is the exit you talked about?"

"Lu Li, are you messing with us? Where is the exit? Is this fun, making us jumping hoops for you?"

"I think he did it on purpose. He has no good intention. Young Master Gu, teach him a lesson and break off his leg."

""

What they said later on became more and more vulgar. Lu Li turned a deaf ear to all that. He stared at the wall and Little Whites sparkling eyes. Then he suddenly turned back and looked at Bai Qiuxue. Their eyes lit up.

"Shut up!"

Lu Li bellowed in a cold voice. The ring on his hand glared and a huge halberd appeared in his hand. He hacked forcefully at the wall.

"Boom!"

Amidst the shocked looks of the team, a big hole appeared on the wall which then tumbled down. A path showed up.

"So it is"

Bai Qiuxue nodded secretly. When she and Lu Li looked at each other just now, they both figured it out. It must be the exit without a question. They had been walking for such a long time, but not once did they run into any dead end. All the paths were unimpeded, so there must be something wrong with the wall here.

"Squeak, squeak~"

Little White walked forward happily with Lu Li following closely. Bai Qiuxue moved as well with excitement. The others finally realized what was happening and they soon caught up. Everyone was overjoyed.

The path reached the end after 800 feet and 240 inches. There was a gate ahead of them. When the team saw the gate, they were completely pleased. Several Young Ladies even hugged together and burst into tears of joy.

"Little White, well done!"

Lu Li gave Little White a thumb-up. He got some Fire Jade Spars and threw them to it. Little White raised its head up high while eating, like a smug child that had just been praised by its parents.

"Go!"

Since they were cheered up, they didnt take any breaks. Bai Gu rushed towards the gate and he pushed it open. A refreshing smell assaulted his nostrils, and everyone was invigorated.

"Valley? It is a valley outside!"

Bai Gu was stunned after he checked. He rushed out, then the others followed suite. When they got outside, everyone was dumbfounded.

It was a very beautiful valley outside with pretty mountains and clear waters. There was a big pond. There were even some rabbits and deer in the distance

They were both pleased and disappointed after they walked out of a door and entered a valley. They had been staying at the Tomb of Dragon King for such a long time.

For many of them, leaving the valley meant they would get out which would be safe. But they only got so few treasures at the Tomb of Dragon Kingonly five and they were even divided between Lu Li, Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang. The rest had come here in vain and suffered so much.

"Swish!"

Bai Gu rushed towards the distance, trying to explore the surroundings. Bai Qiuxue asked the others to take a rest on the spot, waiting for the report.

Not along afterwards, Bai Gu came back. He said in a deep voice, "The valley is big. It is sealed up and safe. There are many doors here. We are not outside yet. This should be the place Dragon King set up for us to take some rest"

"A place to rest?"

They were again seized with both joy and worry. Finally, they could take a break and they could continue their treasure hunt at the Tomb of Dragon King. However, the maze alone almost trapped them to death, so what came next should be harder.

"Rest!"

Bai Qiuxue waved her hand and said, "Bai Rong, go and hunt for some beasts. Build up a fire and roast some meat. Ladies, lets go to the pond."

The Young Ladies came to their senses after a short while of confusion. They all cheered and ran to the pond. The pond meant they could take a bath which they hadnt enjoyed for many days. They were smelling.

"Lets go and hunt some beasts!"

Young Master Rong called someone to go with him. The rest of the people were looking for some grass and wood, preparing to build a fire and roast the meat. They were deprived of cooked food for many days. Everyone wanted to enjoy some hot food, take a bath, and a sound sleep.

Over at the pond, Bai Qiuxue asked someone to shield off an area with cloths so they could have a simple bathing pool. They would take turns to have a bath while some were guarding outside.

"Hee, hee, hee~"

"Ha, ha~"

Soon, some ladies jumped into water. Their laughter ring through the pond like bells. That and the splashing sound of the water made many Young Masters worked up. They wished they could go into the water and enjoy that pretty view.

Lu Li sat under a tree, resting. Bai Gu walked over. With his fists clasped in front of his chest, he said, "Island Owner Lu, I dont like the rhetorical nonsense. I owe you my life."

The other Young Master nearby saw this. They looked at each other and walked over. While saluting to Lu Li with cupped hands, they said, "Thank you Island Owner Lu. We will reward you greatly in the future."

"You are welcome." Lu Li waved his hand and replied with a smile, "You are all very tired. Have some rest first."

These few Young Masters were unwilling to thank him anyways. They left immediately after some polite words. Bai Gu didnt leave. He sat down next to Lu Li and whispered to him, "Island Owner Lu, please dont mind. The Young Masters of the Big Families are all arrogant. They actually appreciate your help very much. They just cannot do it for fear of losing dignity."

"Its okay!"

Lu Li shrugged his shoulder and said, "I dont care how they look at me, how they think of me or treat me. Life is hard as it is. If I have to concern myself about the others looks and ideas whenever I do something, life will be harder. Having a clear conscience is the most important thing as a man. The rest doesnt matter."

With that said, Lu Li closed his eyes and leaned against the tree to have some rest. Bai Gui threw Lu Li a glance which spoke volumes. The expressions shown in his eyes changed again. Previously, he was just grateful to Lu Li. Now, he fully admired him.
