If it were any other woman, faced with such a bold move from Chu Feng, she would either hastily dodge or blush in embarrassment.
But Li Ruochu did neither. Instead, her smile grew even more captivating as she took hold of Chu Feng's hand and moved it from her chin to her cheek.
"You little rascal, someone as outstanding as you — which woman wouldn't be interested? Even I… am only human, after all."
Li Ruochu narrowed her eyes as she gazed at Chu Feng, her expression one that could only be described in four words — utterly bewitching.
Paired with her delicate features, she was the kind of woman who could captivate a man to death without even trying.
Anyone else would have had their heart racing, perhaps even lunging forward on the spot.
Fortunately, Chu Feng was no ordinary man and possessed a decent amount of self-restraint. Yet even so, facing a Li Ruochu like this, he found it hard to hold his ground.
"It seems I've lost this round." Chu Feng hastily withdrew his hand, growing ever more helpless. He knew that the opponent he was dealing with this time was far too formidable — he simply couldn't win at this flirting game and had to concede defeat.
"Ha ha ha…" Seeing Chu Feng like this, Li Ruochu laughed even more delightedly, as though she had just won a game.
But it had to be said — although Li Ruochu was considerably older than him, her laughter at this moment was genuinely adorable. Compared to her younger sister Li Yue'er, who was always cold and aloof, Li Ruochu was far more vibrant, brimming with youthful energy, and far more entertaining.
Because of her personality, even though Li Ruochu was older than him, talking with her felt completely devoid of any generation gap. In fact, he felt even more at ease with her than he did with Li Yue'er or Wuma Shengjie.
Though the distance between the Nine Dragon Upper Realm and the Li Heavenly Clan spanned a vast expanse of void and the journey was long, the trip itself had been anything but boring. His spirits had been remarkably high throughout.
…
The Li Ancestral Formation was situated in the central region of the Li Heavenly Clan.
Although, in order to prevent this great formation from malfunctioning and harming the clan members, the Li Heavenly Clan had already relocated nearly all of their people away from this place they had inhabited for tens of thousands of years — this was still the land their ancestors had left behind, the only true home in their hearts, a place they had called theirs for tens of thousands of years.
So the Li Heavenly Clan would not abandon it easily. Every day, numerous experts gathered here, observing every movement within the formation.
And today, the crowd gathered here was even larger than usual.
Among the younger generation were Li Anzhi, Li Tianyou, Li Yan, Li Youbin, and others.
Among the elders were figures like the Li Battle Fanatic and Li Taiyi.
But the one with the highest standing among them all was an elderly man clad in silver armor.
This old man had snow-white hair, and both his long hair and beard stretched over ten meters in length.
It was easy to tell that he had lived for a very long time.
Yet aside from his white hair and beard, the years did not seem to have left many marks on him. Not only were his hair and beard thick and full, but his face bore very few wrinkles. He looked remarkably vigorous, and he stood over three meters tall, his body powerfully built. Even clad in armor, his muscular frame could not be concealed.
This man was the patriarch of the Li Heavenly Clan — Li Dragon King.
The name "Li Dragon King" had been given to him by his mother. It was said that on the day he was born, not only did a torrential downpour rain from the sky, but a dragon's silhouette could be seen drifting in and out among the clouds.
His mother believed he was the reincarnation of a true dragon, and so she gave him that name.
And Li Dragon King had lived up to it. Throughout his life, he had been decisive in killing and possessed an extraordinary, domineering presence — even more fearsome than the Li Battle Fanatic. He was a man who resembled a god of war.
The Li Heavenly Clan owed much of its current standing to his contributions.
Because of his fierce temperament, his fearsome reputation was not only well known outside the clan — it was even more so within.
If the patriarchs of other clans were mostly respected with a certain fear, then Li Dragon King inspired genuine terror in the hearts of every member of the clan — a fear that came from the very depths of their souls.
No one dared to provoke this patriarch. Not even the Supreme Elders dared. His ruthlessness had been deeply etched into the bones of every Li Heavenly Clan member, and no one would dare defy him.
At this moment, whether young or old, all were gazing downward.
Below them was a formation — one that resembled an ancient tower, brimming with an aura of primordial majesty.
