189: Chapter 189 Compensation? Dowry?!

"Yunkai, tell me the truth. What did you come to the Li Family for this time?" Green Willow's clouded eyes stared intently at Luo Yunkai.

After hearing her son's words, her heart had been uneasy for a long while, and she had waited outside this courtyard for just as long.

If there was one person who could pry the truth out of Luo Yunkai's mouth, Green Willow believed that person was her!

Luo Yunkai's hand, which was resting on Green Willow's shoulder, paused.

He looked up and met Green Willow's persistent gaze, seeing her obsession within it.

"Yunkai, I owe the Young Miss. If it wasn't for me back then, the Young Miss wouldn't have been tricked by you and had her body ruined. But she didn't blame me; she's taken care of me for all these years and even helped Hao'er Cultivate. I cannot watch you hurt the Young Miss or hurt Changsheng."

Only Green Willow could directly tell Luo Yunkai to his Face that his actions were a 'ruination'.

Luo Yunkai gave a faint sigh. "It seems I've become the villain."

Green Willow snorted coldly and slapped Luo Yunkai's hand away. "You always were."

Luo Yunkai rubbed his temples. "I will do my best not to hurt Xiang Jun."

Bringing the City Lord of Dan City along was precisely to protect Li Xiangjun as much as possible.

Of course, if his guess was correct, then all would be well. If it was false, then... for the sake of his son, he would have no choice but to let Xiang Jun make a sacrifice.

A look of ruthlessness flashed through Luo Yunkai's eyes.

Green Willow noticed that fleeting ruthlessness in Luo Yunkai's eyes and took two steps back. "Luo Yunkai, I won't allow it!"

Luo Yunkai snapped back to reality. Seeing Green Willow's defensive posture, he sighed. "It might not come to the worst-case scenario. Even if it does, I will compensate her."

Green Willow looked at Luo Yunkai with uncertainty and suspicion.

Luo Yunkai didn't plan to say more to her; she wouldn't understand matters of Cultivation anyway.

"Patriarch Li, may we talk?"

As soon as Luo Yunkai finished speaking, he felt a force pulling him in a certain direction.

He could have easily broken free from this force, but he simply allowed himself to be led away by it.

A few breaths later, Luo Yunkai appeared in the Li Family's discussion hall.

Not only was Patriarch Li there, but several Li Family elders were present as well.

Luo Yunkai felt a sense of deja vu, as if he were facing a joint trial.

"Yunkai, sit!" The Fifth Elder said with a smile, gesturing for Luo Yunkai to come over to his side.

Patriarch Li cleared his throat, and a chair appeared directly behind Luo Yunkai. "Young Friend Luo, please."

Luo Yunkai wasn't uncomfortable at all. He sat down, facing the members of the Li Family alone.

For a moment, neither side spoke.

Luo Yunkai deliberated for a long time before slowly speaking. "I have long heard of the Li Family's Longevity Body."

The members of the Li Family, who had been communicating via Divine Sense, suddenly froze.

Luo Yunkai naturally felt the stagnation in the atmosphere, but he acted as if he didn't notice. "My son, Changsheng, possesses the Longevity Body."

Patriarch Li stood up in shock. "How can that be? Once the Longevity Body appears in my Li Family Bloodline, the Li Family Ancestral Hall reacts. For all these years, besides the time the Ancestral Hall sensed it for Xiang Jun, it has never appeared again. Changsheng, he..."

Luo Yunkai's gaze was deep. "What if the Physique was Awakened together with his mother while he was still in the womb?"

Patriarch Li was stunned.

Could it even work like that?

The First Elder suddenly said, "When Xiang Jun Awakened her Longevity Body back then, the Ancestral Hall's reaction was indeed stronger than what is recorded."

Patriarch Li suddenly looked over. "Is that true?"

The First Elder nodded heavily. "It is true!"

Patriarch Li's heart raced, and the corners of his mouth twitched wildly.

"Patriarch Li, do not be happy too early," Luo Yunkai said indifferently.

Patriarch Li looked at Luo Yunkai in confusion.

Luo Yunkai said in a heavy voice, "Changsheng's Longevity Body has only Awakened by 1%."

"What? How can that be?" The Li Family members whispered and talked among themselves.

They had never heard of such a situation.

Patriarch Li signaled the elders to be quiet and looked at Luo Yunkai with a searching gaze. "How did Young Friend Luo find out, and what do you intend to do?"

Luo Yunkai's expression was indifferent. "You don't need to know how I found out. As for what I want to do, I naturally want to help Changsheng fully Awaken the Longevity Body."

"How can we help Changsheng fully Awaken the Longevity Body?" Patriarch Li asked with a frown.

Having never encountered such a situation, he could only place his hopes on Luo Yunkai.

Luo Yunkai looked at Patriarch Li and asked instead of answering, "The Li Family has produced so many generations of the Longevity Body; I don't believe the Li Family has left nothing behind!"

To the ears of the Li Family members, his words meant: The Li Family can produce so many Longevity Bodies; I don't believe there isn't a reason!

Patriarch Li's pupils suddenly constricted.

Luo Yunkai's hand under his sleeve tightened; he hoped it was what he wanted.

"Are you here for my Li Family's secret?" Patriarch Li's warmth vanished, and a pressing Aura bore down on Luo Yunkai.

Luo Yunkai furrowed his brows. Had this topic touched upon the Li Family's sensitivities?

Even if it had, he had to continue.

Five-Colored Spiritual Light flowed over his body, and that overbearing pressure vanished without a trace.

Patriarch Li looked at Luo Yunkai with uncertainty.

Luo Yunkai remained seated calmly, his expression composed.

"Does the Li Family have preserved blood of the Longevity Body?" This time, Luo Yunkai went straight to the point.

Boom!

Several bursts of pressure arrived simultaneously.

Instead of being alarmed, Luo Yunkai was delighted!

As he had guessed, the Li Family did have preserved Longevity Body blood, which was why the System couldn't provide a custom order!

He spread his five fingers, and a net of Five-Colored Spiritual Power pressed back against the Li Family elders.

Taking advantage of the moment they underestimated him, the Five-Colored Spiritual Power covered several people like a large net.

Their attacks hit the five-colored net and were instantly worn down by the mutually reinforcing and restraining Five-Colored Spiritual Power, creating only small ripples on the net.

The Li Family members were inexplicably horrified.

They hadn't expected Luo Yunkai's strength to be so terrifying!

A mere Golden Core had not only blocked the pressure of three Nascent Souls and six Golden Cores but could also easily suppress them in return!

Luo Yunkai, who appeared relaxed, was constantly taking out Top-Grade Spirit Stones from under his sleeve to absorb spiritual Qi.

Using ultimate moves felt great, but it was quite taxing on spiritual Qi!

"I have no interest in your Li Family's Longevity Body blood," Luo Yunkai spoke up.

No one in the Li Family believed him.

If you're not interested, why did you start a fight?

"Longevity Body blood can help Changsheng fully Awaken the Longevity Body. I want your Li Family to allow Changsheng to soak in the Longevity Body blood!"

Patriarch Li held back the other elders who were still attacking. "Is that truly your only purpose? You only want Changsheng to soak in the Longevity Body blood?"

Luo Yunkai nodded. "Yes!"

Thinking of something, he added, "Changsheng must soak in the Longevity Body blood for eighty-one days!"

Patriarch Li stared fixedly at Luo Yunkai.

Luo Yunkai allowed him to look, his expression open and honest.

"Very well!"

"Patriarch?!" The First Elder frowned.

Patriarch Li looked at the First Elder. "Do we have a choice?"

The First Elder looked at the five-colored net trapping them and fell silent.

No!

Luo Yunkai didn't want Changsheng to think he had coerced the Li Family Patriarch and elders, so he immediately retracted the spiritual Qi net and took out a space ring from the system space.

"There are ten million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones in this space ring, as..." compensation.

"A betrothal gift?!" The Li Family Patriarch and elders said in unison, filled with pleasant surprise.

Luo Yunkai raised an eyebrow. Was it more dignified to put it that way?

True, it wouldn't be good for others to know that the Li Family had something as good as Longevity Body blood that could help Awaken the Longevity Body. The excuse of a betrothal gift was a good one.
