Chapter 177

: I Will Build You a Doghouse
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
The valley was a big one with a radius of more than two miles surrounded by precipices as smooth as mirror. The sky was always bright. Clearly, there was some kind of Inhibition Formation.
There were many animals here as well. The pond was big with a variety of fish inside. If there were only Lu Li and his team here, they would be fed for half a year.
However, with Zi Lian and her team here, the food must be divided between them. If the other two teams came as well, the food would be in shorter supply.
As such, Bai Qiuxue gave out her orders. She had Bai Gu bring most of their men to find secret gears and exits in the valley.
Bai Qiuxue had several Young Ladies helped Lu Li in preparing grilled meat. They were going to store some just in case.
Interspatial Rings could store food. The grilled meat wouldn’t go bad in there for a month. Even though the taste wouldn’t be good, but it would still be better than starving.
Lu Li caught eight deer and built eight piles of fire. He wanted to grill them at the same time. Bai Qiuxue was helping with several Young Ladies. Bai Xiashuang, on the other hand, was still struggling with her cabin.

Boom!

Another sound of tumbling down came. Lu Li burst into laughter after he stole a glance. It was the third time that Bai Xiashuang made a cabin collapse but she kept going.
To build a cabin was not so simple as to tie some ropes on some woods. It required certain skills. If the most basic balance could not be struck, it would come tumbling down with a simple touch. Also, there was no groove on the logs. The logs were not integrated together, so of course, it would fall.

Xiu Ling, go and ask Shuang-er to come here to apologize to Island Owner Lu. She can spend months and still fail to build a cabin without Island Owner Lu.

Bai Qiuxue asked a Young Lady to get Bai Xiashuang. Then she turned around and said to Lu Li with a gentle smile on her face,
Island Owner Lu, my sister is not behaving well. Please don’t be offended.

Now that Bai Qiuxue had spoken, Lu Li couldn’t wait and see them messing around anymore. He nodded and said,
I will help you build a cabin later. It really is uncomfortable to sleep on the ground.

Xu Fangfei and the others became excited. They all begged Lu Li to help them as well. It shamed them to sleep on an open ground in the wildness as Young Ladies. Also, there were ants and insects on the ground which made sleeping uncomfortable.

Okay, okay!

Lu Li found the thing both funny and annoying. He nodded to all of them. Then he continued to skin and gut the deer. After all the eight deer were all set, Lu Li went back and started grilling.
Eight racks were built above eight piles of fire. The deer were grilled. The several Young Ladies all felt excited and enjoyed themselves. Bai Xiashuang came over, but she didn’t apologize to Lu Li. She didn’t even look at him; she just pouted, seemingly angry.

They are twins and yet they are so different.

Lu Li secretly shook his head. He walked around between the eight piles of fire and greased the deer, applied salt and spices.
He had brought these things with him a long time ago. He would go to the mountains since he was a kid, and he would not treat himself poorly. Lu Li learned how to grill since he was only 11 or 12 years old. He casually asked Liu Yi to get the sesame oil, salt and the other spices for him. He didn’t expect that he would really use them.
The smell of grilled venison soon became strong. The ones left to find exits went back one after another, disappointed.
They found two exits and two gates that could open, but those were the ones that they and Zi Lian’s team took when they left the maze. Nobody wanted to go back to the maze ever again. They would rather die in the valley than go back there.
The grilled venison were about to be ready. The ones who came back didn’t leave. They stayed nearby, ready to have a feast. Yesterday, they were only half full. Today, they finally could have a big meal.
The venison was cooked and the smell was getting stronger. The team of the Heaven Martial Kingdom on the other side of the pond were getting restless. Zi Lian copied what Bai Qiuxue did and fended off an area of the pond with some cloths as a bathing pool. They took some bath and were about to eat some prepared food and have some sleep. When they noticed the smell, their stomachs were protesting.
Everyone on the team of the Heaven Martial Kingdom were Young Masters or Young Ladies of the Super Families. Who would know how to grill? The valley was filled with animals, but none of them know how to do grill them—they could only helplessly stand on the side.
Finally, some people could not take it any longer. They urged Zi Lian and Yu Lingxu to ask for some grilled venison. Zi Lian could not lower herself to do that so she didn’t answer.
Yu Lingxu, on the other hand, thought he was a Young Master of a Fifth-rank Family after all, and the two Young Ladies of the Thousand-island Lake would grant him the favor.
Yu Lingxu felt himself handsome after a bath. Together with four or five men, he walked towards Lu Li’s side. Seeing several Young Ladies enjoying the grilled venison, Yu Lingxu laughed from afar,
Ha-ha-ha, greetings Lady Qiuxue, Lady Xiashuang. Greetings, Young Masters and Young Ladies. I am Yu Lingxu. I have heard so much about you and I am here to show my respect.

They stopped eating with visitors here. Bai Qiuxue stood up and exchanged pleasantries with Yu Lingxu for a bit.
Some Young Masters disdained the visitors. They were clearly here to beg for food, but they put on such airs as if they were the more important and powerful ones.
Of course, after some chit-chat, Yu Lingxu turned his looks to the golden grilled venison and said,
Well? The meat is so fresh. I didn’t expect that you have such skills. I am impressed. Eh… Lady Zi was injured a couple of days ago and she is weak now. Can you be kind enough to give our men some venison so Lady Zi can get better? I will thank you greatly in the future for your gracious favor.

As soon as Yu Lingxu was done talking, many Young Masters turned their heads around in disdain. If he wanted to eat, it just say it. He used Zi Lian as the shield. This Yu Lingxu was really shameless.
But since Yu Lingxu had begged for it, Bai Qiuxue found it difficult to refuse him. She looked at Lu Li. After all, it was Lu Li who grilled.
With the Ghost Mask on, it was difficult to tell whether Lu Li was happy or not. However, the moment Yu Lingxu came over, Lu Li actually felt a strong aversion to Yu Lingyu. When he heard Yu Lingxu’s words, Lu Li became even more disgusted. Now that Yu Lingxu used Lady Zi as the shield, there was coldness in Lu Li’s eyes.
Lu Li thought about it. Suddenly, he cut off a big chunk of venison, put it on a stick and handed it over to Ding Yang. Lu Li said to him,
Young Master Ding, since Lady Zi is under the weather, we cannot sit around doing nothing. Quickly, send it over to Lady Zi and tell her to get better.

The Young Masters of the Thousand-island Lake were pleased. Ding Yang was smiling ear to ear. He went towards the other side of the pond at once more than happily.
Yu Lingxu and the men with him were stunned. Ding Yang brought the venison directly to Zi Lian, and only one chunk. Then how would they eat? However, Yu Lingxu did say just now in person that Zi Lian was not feeling well, so he had nothing to say and he left after he expressed his gratitude.

What a jerk…

Bai Xiashuang was frank by nature. She couldn’t conceal her feelings. As soon as Yu Lingxu was gone, she cursed him. Then she smiled at Lu Li with her thumb up and said,
Lu Li, you’ve got balls. You are a true man.


Oh this girl…

Lu Li rolled his eyes. She was angry at him just now; she wouldn’t even look at him. Now, all of a sudden, she praised him. She really knew clearly what to hate and what to love. She really would speak whatever was on her mind.
Lu Li said nothing. Bai Xiashuang asked him while eating,
Lu Li, what are you wearing this Ghost Mask for? How can you eat with the mask on?

Lu Li glanced at Bai Qiuxue without saying anything. He took a piece of venison and went back to his cabin. Little White was there. Lu Li gave it several Fire Jade Spars which it enjoyed.
There were outsiders now. Lu Li had asked Little White to stay in the cabin for fear that someone would take it or harm it.
Lu Li ate and drank to his heart’s content. Afterwards, he was ready to cultivate. Right at that moment, there came some sounds of footsteps. Then a group of Young Ladies approached the cabin. One of them kicked at the cabin hard as she shouted,
Lu Li, get out and help us to build cabins. You have promised my sister.

Lu Li walked out with a pulled face. He stared at Bai Xiashuang and coldly said,
I dare you to kick one more time. I will build you a doghouse and you can crawl inside and sleep with your bottoms stuck up.
