“Brother Li.”
The siblings greeted Lu Li politely when they saw him.
“Ru, An, have you eaten?”
Lu Li asked.
Xu Chen’an nodded, “We were eating.”
They were eating, instead of finishing eating.
Connecting the dots to the clanging sounds that came from their house, it was clear that their parents had started arguing before they finished eating, and had thrown their plates.
Judging from their words, it was obvious that the two of them were arguing about stuff related to gambling.
As the neighbors saw this, their hearts ached for these two sensible children. They started to criticize their parents.
“This is too outrageous. At least let the children eat their fill first!”
“Sigh, what kind of parents are these?”
These criticizing voices made the siblings feel even more uncomfortable. Ru could only hold his sister’s hand, feeling at a loss.
When Lu Li saw this, he reached out to rub Ru and Xu Chen’an’s heads and asked, “Do you want to eat shumai?”
When he heard this, Ru’s eyes lit up.
Then, it dimmed back down. “My dad said that we can’t spend your money.”
Xu Chen’an was also embarrassed.
Lu Li smiled and said, “When you grow up and earn money, just return it to me.”
As he said this, he pushed his bicycle and urged them to follow.
The siblings were embarrassed at first.
“Ru, hurry up.”
As Lu Li urged them again, Ru was the first to follow. When Xu Chen’an saw her brother, she hesitated for a while more and followed.
In the past, when Lu Li’s family lived in the old house, the two siblings often took snacks from Lu Li’s house.
Therefore, the siblings were close to Lu Li.
Lu Li led the siblings as he pushed his bicycle. At the same time, he reached into his pockets and took out two brand new 10 dollar bills.
These were all he had now.
“I’m so poor.”
Lu Li thought dejectedly.
The three of them went to Lu Li’s favorite Shumai shop, and carefully counted the 12 dollars’ worth of Shumai for the two of them, as well as a bowl of meatball soup that costs 8 dollars.
Exactly 20 dollars.
Thinking back to his previous life, he still had seven figures worth of money in his savings, but now he had to carefully budget 20 dollars.
Lu Li was a little helpless.
After the restaurant served up the shumai and meatball soup, Ru didn’t hesitate and started eating.
On the other hand, Xu Chen’an looked more embarrassed than not.
Lu Li moved the plate in front of her and said, “An, come on, eat.”
Xu Chen’an’s thin face was a little red. She said embarrassedly, “I don’t want to eat. Ru can finish it.”
“He won’t be able to finish it all by himself.”
Lu Li picked up the chopsticks and handed them to her. “Go on, eat.”
“No need……”
Xu Chen’an tried to refuse again, but Lu Li ignored her and just said, “Eat.”
Lu Li knew that because of their family background, the siblings were much more mature than their peers, and are embarrassed to accept the kindness of others.
He has to be patient with them.
After rejecting a few times, Xu Chen’an hesitated for a moment, then put down some of her reservations. She picked up a shumai and put it into her mouth, and started to chew slowly.
As she ate, she slowly let her reservations go.
Lu Li also started eating. He just ate a few mouthfuls of shumai.
After that, he went to pay the bill and said goodbye to the siblings.
He also told them, “If you don’t want to be scolded when you go back, don’t tell your parents that I treated you.”
Ru nodded repeatedly.
Xu Chen’an stood up in embarrassment and wanted Lu Li to pack the rest up and take it away.
Lu Li had to pat her head and press her back down.
Then, he pushed his bike home.
Back home.
Dinner at home had been prepared, and the whole family was waiting for Lu Li to come home for dinner.
Because now that Lu Li had to go to Spirit Martial class, he would come home at 6 pm every day. Mother Lu delayed dinner as a result.
Lu Li had told them not to wait for him, but it didn’t seem to have any use.
The family ate dinner happily.
…
The next day, Saturday.
Lu Li got up early in the morning.
After breakfast, he rode his white bicycle and went straight to the cemetery.
The Rao Shui River bridge had been completely sealed off.
Yesterday it was only a roadblock, today it was even more sealed off. Thick iron plates isolated the area.
Lu Li had to take a detour to another bridge to see the situation.
When he arrived at the other bridge, Lu Li saw a spectacular scene.
A ridiculously large iron plate stretched across the entire river, completely sealing off that area.
It was impossible to see what was inside from the river surface.
There were signs everywhere on the road that said “No flying within a radius of 100 miles”.
It had been sealed off to such an extent overnight.
Lu Li could see that the sidewalk on the bridge was filled with people taking pictures of the blockade of the other bridge.
There was even a streamer who held up a selfie stick and made a strange expression as he broadcasted live to the people on the internet:
The streamer said, “Look my dear fans, this is Rao Shui River! A spirit beast has been discovered locally. The spirit beast is very cunning and is now hiding in the water. To protect the people, the city guards and Spirit Alliance’s spirit cultivators built a wall overnight.”
Many guys and girls were streaming the situation.
There was a young man who suddenly shouted, “F*ck!”!
After asking around, Lu Li found out that the young man had just used a drone to fly over and record the entire situation of the blockade.
In the end, the drone was disintegrated by a spirit energy bullet.
The drone costs tens of thousands of dollars, and it was gone just like that. The young man was so angry that he wanted to complain to the officials.
Lu Li watched everything.
He did not know why, but he still felt strange.
“It’s just a spirit beast. Is there a need to go through so much trouble?”
Wouldn’t sending a powerful spirit cultivator over be enough to directly eliminate it?
If that spirit beast was too powerful, and the spirit cultivators were unable to eliminate it at the first moment, then once such a powerful spirit beast went crazy, would this iron sheet covering the river be able to contain it?
Lu Li had a strange feeling in his heart.
It was as if these walls were not to prevent the spirit beast from coming out but to prevent others from entering.
Hopefully, he was just overthinking things.
In any case, that side was also sealed off. Lu Li could not see the situation there, so he did not think any further and directly rode his bicycle to the cemetery.
The cemetery was as deserted as the last time he came, with almost no one passing by.
It was a stark contrast to the crowd at Rao Shui River.
“But it’s perfect. If there’s someone here, I won’t be able to openly do my stuff.”
Lu Li casually parked his bicycle by the side of the road and chained it.
He took out a bottle of experience potion from his school bag and gulped it down.
There were still seven or eight of this experience potion card in Lu Li’s Card Bag. He would get four or five bottles of experience potion every 10 pulls. The rate of its appearance was ridiculously high.
On the other hand, the chances of getting life potions, ether potions, and speed potions were much lower.
With this thought, Lu Li began to activate his spiritual power and entered the spirit vision state.
As the vision in front of him dimmed, what entered his eyes were patches of red, covering the entirety of the cemetery from the ground up.
Seeing these red patches, Lu Li’s eyes welled up with tears.
No comparison, no harm.
The town was a barren land compared to here.
Lu Li immediately began to activate his spiritual power, and a powerful suction force drew in the red aura in droves within a twenty-meter radius.

It was slowly absorbed by Lu Li.
Countless amounts of evil Yin energy were quickly converted into spiritual power and absorbed into Lu Li’s body.
The Spiritual Power Index in his body also became stronger and stronger.
Soon, as the evil Yin energy outside the cemetery was completely absorbed, Lu Li set his eyes on the cemetery.
After thinking about it shortly, he walked in..
