107. Be careful when playing with silver stairs

  Seeing Ai Qi's obvious interest in Li Rui, Lu Yi frowned and gave a cold stare:

  "You must be very busy next, don't stay in the western border for long, please leave as soon as possible."

  Tell her to get lost.

  "Aiqi replied: 'Congratulations on your successful auction, it will surely make a name for the Empire. I'll take my leave first ~'"

  Indeed, someone has already hastily sent news of what happened here through foreign telegraphy.

  Ji Xiu and Olga temporarily preserved their lives, being placed under house arrest as important evidence for accusing the Northern Territory.

  Mission accomplished, everything is ready, Aki takes her sister and leaves first.

  The grand play has come to an end, and even a superficial peace cannot be maintained. With complex emotions, the crowd climbs over the wall and jumps out of the lord's mansion.

  The garden square was dug into a deep pit by Irwin's war technique, just blocking the gate.

  ~~~~~

  Farewell Bate, Li Rui took Lina and Xiya back to the inn.

  Xi Ya lost her beautiful armor, wearing only a thin long gown. Not even shoes, bare white delicate feet, exposing garlic-like toes.

  The girl's beauty was especially enticing, but Li Rui just felt sorry for her.

  Exile isn't just a matter of saying it's so; there's also a ceremony - Shia needs to wear this shabby outfit and walk out of Irulan City under the gaze of onlookers.

  This is an insult to the exile, and the onlookers will also throw things and shout abuse.

  Xi Ya's soft golden long hair and deer-like golden big eyes were all dull and lusterless, her whole person was dazed and dispirited.

  Li Rui felt she needed some alone time now, so he comforted her for a few words and left the room to let her rest well.

  ~~~~~

  Arriving at Lina's room, Milian and Misha, both from Green Ridge, were chatting with her.

  Li Rui smiled and said:

  "Hello madam, I am Merle's partner. I have been wanting to visit you but was unable to do so, fortunately you are fine, otherwise I would not be able to report back to Merle."

  The beautiful woman had grey hair and blue eyes just like Meryl, and was very similar in appearance, with a more rounded and plump figure.

  At this time, she was distracted and had lost her composure as she had in the manor, and begged Li Rui:

  "Thank you a million times. I didn't think I'd make it out alive, thanks to your bravery in saving me. But I have to swallow my pride and ask one more favor of you."

  "Please go ahead and give orders, no need to be polite!"

  The beautiful woman in front of her, even if she was married far away and became a concubine, had been secretly taking care of Mei'er for many years, and was also a person with feelings and righteousness.

  Lina was anxious:

  "David you fool, the Creek family will be wiped out! My two sons - Lukash and Rory, whom you've met, are stranded outside with the airship. Save them!"

  "Lord Rui values you greatly, and I can even let them change their surname, just spare our lives."

  Li Rui Zheng nodded heavily: "They've helped Mel and me many times, I definitely can't just stand by. Don't worry, those two also have the blood of the Green Collar, nothing will happen to them!"

  Lina felt slightly relieved and let out a sigh of relief. After days of being startled and anxious, fatigue began to set in.

  Mitsyoon's quick wit led her forward, guiding her to bathe and rest.

  Marian was stunned for a few moments, foolishly unable to react. She hated this "clever and cunning little wretch" even more.

  ~~~~~

  The lamp had gone out, and Li Rui planned to ask for an audience with Lu Yi the next morning. This western border guardian was more considerate of him, and this matter would not be difficult.

  Unexpectedly, Mr. and Mrs. Lui came to the inn in person. The two wore hoods and arrived quietly under the cover of night.

  Ms. Xi Lin manipulated the ether to isolate herself from the outside, looking at the haggard Xi Ya, her heart ached and she was about to step forward to comfort her, but Xi Ya dodged away.

  Ms. Xi Lin stood frozen in place with a wretched smile, while Rui slowly opened his mouth:

  "Sorry, Shia, this is all my fault."

  "When I advanced to the Golden Stage, a mistake occurred and I failed to restrain 'Thunderfire', leaving behind an aftereffect that makes it impossible for me to have descendants through normal means."

  "I originally thought it was nothing, as long as I had strong powers, but this idea is completely wrong."

  Lui looked at Xiya with gentleness and guilt:

  "I don't know when it was, but I suddenly wanted a child, not for the sake of carrying on the family bloodline or anything like that, maybe just simply to find solace in this long life..."

  Then there was you, Sia. I didn't think of you as an evil creature. Watching you grow day by day, lively, lovely, clever and caring for others, you are a kind-hearted girl, and I never regretted my decision at the beginning.

  After finishing speaking, a purple glow appeared on Rui's body, countless thick electric lights gathered in his eyes and turned into azure blue, Rui dug out the two eyeballs.

  Ms. Xi Lin had already known her partner's plan and came forward to help.

  The eyeball transformed into a substance like sapphire, which is a rare object formed by the gathering of one's own strength by a Golden Stage strongman. Not only can it be used for combat, but also to assist in cultivation. Rare and powerful, it is often left to descendants at the moment of death.

  Living extraction... lifespan and strength will be greatly damaged.

  Xia yelled out in grief, wanting to stop but it was too late, and flung herself onto Rui's body, sobbing uncontrollably.

  Rui supported her, with only two blood holes left on his face, his breath suddenly dropped and his life was in chaos, but his smile was exceptionally sincere:

  "You know how to use it, take it. Live a good life in Green Ridge City, and live happily ever after."

  Rui faced Li Rui and said solemnly: "You are a brave and kind strong man, Xi Ya entrusted me to you and I am very relieved."

  "As long as I'm alive, I won't let her suffer any grievances!"

  Rui nodded at him and turned around to wipe away Xiya's tears on her face.

  "I'm sorry, Papa was scared. The El'goroth Ruins... it's more suitable to call them a wasteland, and even in my generation, we're still excavating."

  At that time, the strong elves saw that they were no match for the dark gods and unexpectedly fled in disarray. After the incident, Your Majesty retaliated by thoroughly destroying the entire city, then pursued the tens of thousands of fleeing elven civilians... tearing apart the earth to bury them alive."

  "My ancestors were also followers of Your Majesty, and this is what they saw with their own eyes. When I see the image of Your Majesty, I tremble with fear. I dare not gamble, lest the family of Lei Ting Huo be destroyed by my hands."

  Sia wept uncontrollably, and Rui stroked her head with a smile:

  "The ancestors of the Green Ridge were indeed favored, and their descendants will surely protect you. Perhaps we are doomed, but we still have to rely on you to continue the family bloodline, so you must cheer up."

  Sia nodded while crying.

  After a fierce hug with her, Rui and Madam Xilin put on their hoods and left.

  ~~~~~

  During this time, Li Rui brought up the matter of Lina's request, and Rui agreed offhand.

  She was overjoyed when she heard the good news for the first time, and Lena thanked her a thousand times, putting her mind at ease.

  Li Rui also let out a sigh of relief.

  Return to the room and call out to Mirian and Misha to complete their daily farming tasks.

  It's a bit strange today, originally Milian disliked Muxuan being dirty and always came first, but this time she took the initiative to line up behind.

  When Li Rui was busy, he stared at the rhythm and pushed him hard, then Mishi cried out in pain.

  ~~~~~

  At this time, Lina was still awake, listening to the noise of young people playing upstairs, feeling a bit unbearable, and sighing that youth is really good.

  Thinking again, Green Ridge City is now dominated by Xia Daiti, and in order for himself and his two sons to survive, they must cling to Li Rui's thigh.

  When she was lost in thought, a sudden and mournful cry startled her.

  "Be careful when playing with Yincheng, it's not every time you can control your strength."
