Li Yi saw Xiu Xiang again; this rchant Master was still the sa as before, unchanged. However, Li Yi had changed significantly. When he first arrived in the Barbaric World, he wasn’t even in the Soul Realm, nor did he possess Divine Blood—he was incredibly weak.
Any warrior could easily defeat him.
Therefore, after witnessing the strength of this world, he didn’t dare stay long and hurriedly crossed back to Earth.
But now, he is no longer the sa as before. Although his current strength isn’t exceptionally great in this world, at least in Beihuai City, he can be considered a minor expert. There is no need to be overly cautious anymore.
"rchant Master, it’s been a long ti. You are still as robust as ever," Li Yi greeted with a smile at this mont.
Xiu Xiang snapped out of his daze. If it weren’t for the familiar face, he wouldn’t have confird that the powerful Divine Blood Warrior before him was once Da Yi. Suddenly feeling both excited and joyful, he laughed and approached, "Da Yi, you finally decided to return to Beihuai City. I missed you for a long ti after you left last ti."
Li Yi said, "I’m sorry. Last ti, due to so issues, I left in a hurry and couldn’t say goodbye to the rchant Master. That was my fault. Please forgive , rchant Master."
"Da Yi, you are too polite; I wouldn’t bla you," Xiu Xiang replied, then added apologetically, "This ti, it’s my fault for letting you be attacked, but rest assured, Da Yi, I’ll make sure to avenge the humiliation you suffered, so please give this opportunity."
Li Yi said, "Is it the matter with rchant Lord Liehou? I have already chosen to forgive them, and for that, they compensated with eighty thousand gold."
"No, Da Yi, eighty thousand gold can only buy their lives; it cannot restore my dignity. I know you are a man of your word, choosing to forgive them and not act again. However, I haven’t forgiven them, so please be patient for a few days. I promise you, I will hang Lie Hou’s head at the gate for everyone to see."
rchant Master Xiu Xiang pointed at the stone gate, making a sincere and serious promise in front of Li Yi.
Li Yi said, "If you need help, please don’t hesitate to let assist you. Although I cannot break the promise, I can help you with other matters."
"Thank you for your kindness, Da Yi. I will handle this myself, and during this ti, I hope you will stay at ho and enjoy fine at and wine. Oh, and the beauties—I have already gifted them to you, Da Yi. Please don’t refuse."
rchant Master Xiu Xiang said, "Although two beauties cannot compensate for my debt, believe , I will make sure you are satisfied."
He wanted to use this opportunity to nd the relationship with Da Yi.
And also to regain his lost dignity.
To offer the best treatnt to this honored guest, only then will others know that being a guest of Xiu Xiang guarantees no humiliation even in Beihuang.
"Thank you for your generosity, rchant Master; I like E Ji and Su Ji very much. They are beautiful and intelligent, precious gifts." Li Yi did not refuse, conforming to the customs here and expressed his gratitude.
Upon hearing this, rchant Master Xiu Xiang finally showed a smile, "Da Yi, as a Divine Blood Warrior, only beauties like E and Su can befit you. Only the at of strong mutant beasts can feed you. As my honored guest, you have the right to enjoy all of these."
Speaking, he addressed the others again, "Listen carefully, you are to treat Da Yi as you would treat . Whatever he says is equivalent to my words, do not disobey."
"Yes," all the guests, guards, and servants replied.
They dared not resist, for they had witnessed Li Yi’s powerful skills and extraordinary thods.
rchant Master Xiu Xiang felt satisfied after seeing this and then said, "Da Yi, please wait a few days for . Once I bring Lie Hou’s head back, I will host a feast for you, telling everyone that you are my honored guest. I want everyone to respect you, and anyone who dares to humiliate you is my enemy."
"E Ji, Su Ji, you are now Da Yi’s beauties. I hope you serve him well. Whatever Da Yi wants from you, you must fulfill."
"Yes," E Ji and Su Ji promised.
After the rchant Master finished speaking, he summoned a few guests and guards and left the house with so anger.
Li Yi watched him leave, knowing that Xiu Xiang was off to seek revenge against Lie Hou.
The people in this world have a real sense of honor; they avenge themselves without delay.
But Li Yi was a bit worried; with Xiu Xiang in such a hurry, could he really handle Lie Hou? After all, Lie Hou was accompanied by Dong Chong, who was a skillful Divine Blood Warrior, while Xiu Xiang’s strong guards weren’t present this ti.
Without ample strength, it’s going to be quite difficult to take Lie Hou’s head.
Of course, Li Yi also knew that the rchant Master Xiu Xiang in Beihuai City must have his own network and power, not just what appears on the surface.
"I hope everything goes well for him," he thought silently.
Li Yi didn’t intervene in this matter, as Xiu Xiang didn’t want him to. After all, asking an honored guest for help would prove the rchant Master incompetent.
Li Yi decided to stay a few more days and wait for news from Xiu Xiang.
"From now on, lock the house doors and arrange for soone to start patrolling day and night. Avoid contact with others, and generally, do not go out except to buy food. If anything happens, inform imdiately, and I will resolve it. This will continue until the rchant Master returns."
He then instructed the remaining servants and guards.
"Yes," they followed Li Yi’s orders without daring to disobey.
Since Xiu Xiang said so before, Li Yi’s words were effectively Xiu Xiang’s words. Moreover, in this world, there is no pretense of obeying publicly and defying privately.
After instructing them, Li Yi turned and returned to his courtyard.
E Ji and Su Ji followed closely behind, feeling content. After all, Xiu Xiang was no longer their master, so his disgrace wasn’t theirs, and they wouldn’t feel angry because of it.
"Master, is there a battle?" At that mont, in the courtyard, Long Yu, who was nearly three ters tall, physically strong and clad in Dragon Scale, resembling a wild beast, spoke deeply.
Although he was unaware of the happenings, he was ready for battle.
The High Priest Dou Kun, sitting on a stone bench, squinting his eyes toward them, had terrible Cosmic Energy gathered around him. Despite his old age, he could still cast powerful spells.
"No battle; the rchant Master here has returned and is seeking vengeance against another rchant Master," Li Yi said. "We are guests and need not be involved. Just rest well at ho; if there is a battle, I will call for you."
Long Yu nodded.
Li Yi glanced around but didn’t see Shanguo.
However, he sensed Shanguo’s presence in a stone room and slled a faint scent of blood.
"I’ll go check on Shanguo; you all rest," Li Yi said.
"Yes," everyone responded.
Li Yi then walked into the room where Shanguo was. He saw broken leather armor and bloody torn cloth scattered all over, with Shanguo painfully lying on the stone bed. Her back had many wounds, so bleeding, so festering.
She was trying to squeeze the pus out with her hand, hoping the wounds would heal faster.
Thankfully, the people of this world have formidable physiques; otherwise, sepsis would have set in quickly, leading to death.
"Da Yi... No, Master, why are you here?" Shanguo was startled upon seeing Li Yi and hastily picked up the rag beside her to cover her wounds.
Li Yi glanced and said, "Your wounds seem serious."
"Not seriously, just need to clear the wounds, squeeze out the poisoned blood, and eat at daily; I will heal fast," Shanguo hurried to say.
"Don’t be nervous; your way of healing is too slow and will leave scars. As a female warrior, a body full of scars stands not for honor but is rather a disgrace."
Li Yi spoke, taking out a Life Repair Cabin from the Five Elents Bracelet: "Lie in it; it will heal all your ailnts."
Shanguo, puzzled at the sight of the high-tech device, albeit unfamiliar, still obeyed Li Yi’s instructions, went over, and lay in the Life Repair Cabin.
"Close your eyes; the healing process will be quick. Don’t move," Li Yi said.
"Yes," Shanguo replied.
Soon, as the Life Repair Cabin activated, her injuries healed at a startling speed, with the scars on her skin miraculously disappearing, and even the bacteria inside and outside her body were cleared.
"Alright, get up," Li Yi said.
Shanguo finally opened her eyes.
She felt more comfortable than ever, with all the pains gone and the scars vanished.
Touching her smooth skin, she could hardly believe everything changed so dramatically.
"Rest well, regain your strength; I will not stay here long."
Li Yi didn’t heed her astonishnt, rely collecting the Life Repair Cabin back into the Five Elents Bracelet, then left the stone room.
