Chapter 19: I Cannot Take This Anymore

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Relax, Lian’er. Your brother is here. No one can hurt you!”

Li Changge slowly moved between Li Lian’er and Shen Tian, forcing his presence on Lian’er.

He said firmly, “Even if a Curmudgeon in his Nascent Soul realm appears, he cannot harm you unless he kills me first!”

Li Lian’er pushed her brother to the side and replied, “Brother, I can protect myself. Just help me protect my Brother Shen.”

MY Brother Shen!?

Since when were you two this close?

And you are asking me to protect this stranger?

Seriously!?

Li Changge’s mouth twitched uncontrollably. This sudden development shocked him greatly.

“Erm... Sis, how long have you two been acquainted? You are from the Li Family. You must be more reserved!”

Li Changge was very worried and certain that their father would kill him if he found out what he had done.

First, he had secretly brought his sister to Myriad Spirit Garden to visit their grandpa. And to make matters worse, his sister was now in love with a random guy she had met on the street!

The entire Grand White Grotto-Heaven knew that the Li Family only treasured the daughter. Li Changge was purely an extra in the house.

Their father protected Li Lian’er to a great extent. Countless disciples in the Grand White Grotto-Heaven had tried to court Li Lian’er, and all of them had ended up getting beaten up.

If Li Changge could not bring back his sister, he could say goodbye to the family too.

“What the hell did you do to my sister?”

Li Changge clenched his fists while staring at Shen Tian angrily. It seemed that a fight was just about to break out.

However, before either one of them could make a move first, a shadow swiftly stood in front of Shen Tian.

It was Li Lian’er!

She stared at Li Changge alarmingly and said, “Brother, what are you trying to do to my Brother Shen?”

Upon seeing how his sister behaved, Li Changge started to have a very bad headache.

What am I trying to do? You should really ask yourself what you are trying to do to him!

Li Changge took a deep breath and said, “Lian’er, listen to me. It’s time to go back.”

Li Lian’er shook her head firmly. “No! Brother, do you even know what love is? Do you know what love at first sight is?”

“...”

Shen Tian and Li Changge were rendered speechless.

I cannot take this anymore!

Li Changge had been forced to practice swordsmanship since young and did not have any interaction with others.

Of course he did not know what love is! He did not have a lover, either!

However, it was not a good reason for letting his sister run away with a stranger. It was also not a good reason for him to get severely punished by their parents!

Li Changge felt helpless, so he said with a pleading voice, “Lian’er, trust me! That is not love! That is just... your hormones.”

Li Lian’er was enraged. “Nonsense! We are fated to be together! See! This is proof of our love!”

Li Lian’er took out the rainbow calabash seed and showed it to her brother. Her ahoge started bouncing again.

Shen Tian, “...”

This is proof of your love?

Do you want to raise a bunch of calabashes?

Help!

Relationships are not a joke!

Li Changge’s mouth twitched even more. “Dad and mom will not agree to this.”

Li Lian’er snorted. “I don’t care! If they do not agree, I will elope with my darling!”

Shen Tian, “...”

Li Changge felt like crying. He was the one to blame for his sister’s extreme thoughts now. He had told her many love stories involving cultivators and elopement, and these ideas had deeply taken root in her head.

Sister, trust me. Nothing good will ever happen in elopement cases!

“Lian’er, you don’t even know where he came from, and you want to run away with him?”

“So what! Our grandpa had many lovers too. Not like every single one of them had a decent family background!”

Li Changge started to feel a little suffocated.

Is it just because this guy is slightly good-looking?

Please, my sister, you are putting shame onto our family!

Being handsome is not everything in life!

Although Li Changge felt helpless, the crowd was very excited by this developing drama. Everyone kept quiet, hoping to see what would happen next.

Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao had long blended in the crowd and were gossiping with each other.

Eunuch Gui said, “Wow! The prince is really good at this! Even Grand White Grotto-Heaven’s princess wants to elope with him! Her Majesty would be so happy if she knew about it.”

Qin Gao replied, “She is such a good girl! The prince should just accept her! That’s true love!”

Li Changge was very uncomfortable with all the attention from the crowd.

“This is my family issue. Please do not gossip about it!”

After saying that, the sword on his back released a strong blade aura and forced the crowd back by a few meters.

Li Changge grabbed Li Lian’er and Shen Tian and disappeared miles away.

It was a very skillful move!

...

“No one will disturb us here.”

Li Changge tried to persuade his sister again. “Lian’er, be a good girl and return with me.”

“No! No! I’ll bring my darling back and marry him!”

Li Changge scratched his head and said, “Oh no! Trust me, he will die if you say that to our parents.”

Our father has even beaten up Grand White Grotto-Heaven’s disciples!

Who knows what our father will do to this guy if he learns that you’re trying to marry him!

Our parents are way more protective than me!

Li Lian’er was very angry now. “Don’t force me! If I cannot be with my darling, we will commit suicide together!”

“...”

“STOP! Relax! Chill!”

Shen Tian finally found an opportunity to cut into the conversation.

Li Changge asked, “Why? Do you even care about my sister?”

Shen Tian asked carefully, “Will our... I mean, your parents really kill me?”

Li Changge nodded. “Unless you’re blessed by providence, the extreme kind, you will die for sure.”

Extremely good providence?

Or I will die for sure?

That is certain death!

“Fairy Lian’er, there is a mistake here.”

Shen Tian tried his best to explain now as his life was at stake. “Although there is fate between us, fate and love are different things.

“Also, I’m more passive in terms of relationships. I don’t like things going too fast.”

Li Changge stared at him.

That does not mean you guys can start slow!

Shen Tian’s explanation shocked Li Lian’er. “But we had made a deal! You will come back for me when this calabash grows up!”

Shen Tian was rendered speechless yet again.

What deal?

Since when?

Why am I not aware of it?

Why are you making up this story?

Shen Tian glanced at Li Changge at the side and decided that his life was more important than this charade. Thus, he said, “Even though I helped you choose a Spirit Ore, that is not love. Truthfully speaking, that is not love at all!”
