My Endless Life.

Chapter 198 The Disappeared Corpse

It was already night when we left from the Six Gates.

Bai Yuzhu led them all the way to Zhang's house, and everyone planned to rest at Zhang's house for a few days before setting off back.

The head of the Zhang family in Linbian City was once a disciple of the Xuanjian Sect. Later, due to his lack of skills, he failed to enter the inner sect. He returned home with the eighth-grade martial arts cultivation to inherit the family business.

Therefore, the Zhang family in the border town is considered a subsidiary force of the Xuanjian Sect, so when Bai Yuzhu and his companions come, they must naturally be treated with courtesy.

This is exactly why Manager Zhang calls Bai Yuzhu "Miss".

"Tell me, what's going on with that bat monster?"

After returning to Zhang's house and everyone settled down, Li Qiao pulled Li Qi over and started asking him about the bat monster.

Bai Yuzhu on the side also stared at Li Qi with wide eyes, waiting for him to start telling the story.

Since childhood, Bai Yuzhu liked listening to Li Qi telling stories the most, even if what he told was obviously false, Bai Yuzhu still liked to listen.

Li Qi shrugged, sat casually at the table, and explained:

"Just like what Captain Jiang and I said, I just ran into him by accident. But how did you find me so quickly?"

Although Li Qi had stayed in this city for a few days, these two people did not show up early or late, but found him just when Li Qi was fighting with others and could not escape.

This coincidence is a bit too weird.

Li Qiao didn't think too much about it. She said bluntly:
"We also heard rumors of monsters here, so we wanted to come and take a look. Is there anything wrong?"

“It just feels a bit coincidental.”

Li Qi told the truth.

Li Qiao knocked his head in anger when he heard this:
"If it's unfortunate, God knows where you'll run off to. I can see that you're deliberately avoiding us, right?"

"How is that possible!" Li Qi blinked his eyes and said, "I was really attracted by the rumors about monsters for a while, so I forgot to go back. Sister, you have to believe me."

"I don't believe you!" Li Qiao glared at Li Qi, then changed the subject and said, "Forget it, I've found you anyway, I won't say any more.

"Dad and Uncle Bai have set the date for you as August 23rd. Someone calculated it and it's a very auspicious day. Now it's July 9th, so there's still a month and a half left.

"Just get back before August 23rd."

“…So urgent?”

"Don't worry. After all, you grew up together and have no problem with each other. Marriage is a natural thing. Or do you not want to?"

Li Qiao's eyes became dangerous.

What else could Li Qi say? He glanced at Bai Yuzhu, whose face was blushing, and sighed imperceptibly, then put on a smile:

"How could I not want to? Sister Yuzhu is so beautiful, of course I am willing."

"That's fine, it's getting late, Yuzhu and I are going to rest first."

After talking to Li Qi, Li Qiao yawned and left the room with Bai Yuzhu.

Before leaving, Bai Yuzhu winked at Li Qi gently, gave him a gentle and slightly shy smile, and then left with Li Qiao.

After the two left, the smile on Li Qi's face gradually faded.

He sat at the table and sighed softly, without any joy in his eyes.

"Get married..."

This world is similar to ancient China, and although Confucianism is not as serious due to the prosperity of martial arts, some of the necessary things are still there.

Among them, "parents' orders and matchmaker's words" are also things that need to be followed.

It doesn’t matter whether Li Qi likes Bai Yuzhu or not, and it doesn’t matter whether Bai Yuzhu likes Li Qi or not. Since the two of them were relatives when they were born, they are destined to be together in the future.

If one of the two people breaks off the engagement, it is not their own business, but the business of the forces behind them.

Just like in "Fights Break Sphere", once someone in the two families regrets the engagement, the relationship between them will drop to freezing point.

Qiqiao Villa has always been on good terms with Xuanjian Sect, and the friendship between the two families has lasted for several decades. Now that Li Qi and Bai Yuzhu are together, it is even closer, which is a good thing for both families.

So whether it is out of respect for the elders, or the ancient 'parents' orders', or the relationship between the two families.

Li Qidu can only marry Bai Yuzhu.

Bai Yuzhu didn't have any other thoughts about this. She had been influenced by the ancient environment since she was a child. After knowing what kind of person her future husband was, she put all her thoughts on Li Qi.

As the novels and storybooks say, women who disobey their parents' orders and bravely pursue love are ultimately a minority.

Bai Yuzhu is not among them, and she really likes Li Qi.

But the problem is...

Li Qi didn't have much feeling for her.

Li Qi had experienced both family love and friendship, but the only difference was love... After the initial excitement for his childhood sweetheart in the two worlds, he seemed to have lost the feeling of being moved.

The love I felt when I was with Bai Yuzhu was just a disguise.

"Never mind, it's just a deal..."

Li Qi sighed inwardly.

Marriage alliance, it's not like he hasn't done this before.

Although she felt that marriage was a very troublesome thing, according to Bai Yuzhu's personality, she would not give Li Qi any instructions in the future.

This is the good thing about traditional women. Once married, everything will be centered around their husband's family. Even if Li Qi and Xuanjianmen become opponents in the future, Bai Yuzhu can only choose to stand on Li Qi's side.

In that case, there is nothing to worry about.

It would be better to think about the bat monster. Li Qi has seen two monsters in this world so far, one is like a toad and has no mind.

The other is the bat spirit seen here.

So the question is, did these monsters exist in this world before, or did they appear recently?
If it existed before, why haven't similar rumors appeared before?

If they have just appeared now, where did they come from?

No way...is it another visitor from outer space?

Thinking of the truth he found out in his previous life, Li Qi felt a little confused.

Don't tell me they are really aliens. The martial arts world and aliens have nothing in common...

Well, if there is a chance, I have to get a living monster to study.

Li Qi lay on the bed thinking about these things and fell asleep in his wandering thoughts.

In today's fight with the bat demon, it seemed that Li Qi had the upper hand, but in fact, the two men's strength was similar.

The bat spirit's strength should have broken through the innate level, but it was suppressed by Li Qi because Li Qi had too many tricks up his sleeve.

Therefore, Li Qi also put in a lot of effort.

The overall strength of this world is much higher than that of the magic world.

At least Li Qi has seen his father Li Wenxin's protective qi. According to the standards of the magic world, Li Wenxin's protective qi is already stronger and more stable than the magic shield amplified by a magic device!
And the protective qi is passive!
As long as you are promoted to a master, the internal energy in your body will be in harmony with the external energy of heaven and earth, and the protective qi will automatically float to the surface of your body.

Only those who are not at the Grandmaster level can break through the defense of the Gangqi.

Because of this, Li Qi is very low-key in this world.

Now he was using all his strength, with the help of various 'talismans' he had made and the relic puppets, he could barely fight against a sixth-grade Xiantian realm cultivator.

He can also achieve a 40:60 split with the fifth-grade Xiantian Realm, with the opponent having 40 and Li Qi having 60.

But if Li Qi encountered a strong man at the fourth level, he could only run for his life.

The bat demon was similar to the sixth-grade one, except that his internal strength had not yet been promoted to the innate realm. Li Qi had also consumed a lot of energy fighting him. Now that he had a chance to rest, he quickly fell asleep.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Li Qiao originally wanted to take Li Qi and Bai Yuzhu back home to discuss the wedding at the villa.

But before they set off, someone came to Zhang's house to visit Li Qi and others.

This person is Jiang Ming from the Six Gates.

He came here because of the Feisha Gang being wiped out yesterday.

"Hasn't it been proven that the extermination of the Feisha Gang has nothing to do with us?"

As Li Qi's sister and Bai Yuzhu's future "sister", Li Qiao naturally became the one who made the decision.

She frowned and asked Jiang Ming, with a look of vigilance towards Jiang Ming.

Because the Six Sects had a bad reputation in the martial arts world, she felt that Jiang Ming wanted to put the blame on them, so her words were not very friendly.

But Jiang Ming didn't think so. Seeing Li Qiao's bad tone, he quickly explained:
"Ms. Li, you misunderstood. This matter naturally has nothing to do with you young heroes..."

"Then why did you come to us?"

"…This morning, my detectives discovered that all the bodies of the Feisha Gang members that had been collected had disappeared! Not a single one was left!"

Jiang Ming said solemnly, then looked at Li Qi: "That's why I came here, I want to ask you, Mr. Li, besides the bat monster you saw yesterday, are there any other suspicious people?"

"There is only one bat demon in the entire Feisha Gang. The rest of the people have all been killed by it. At least that's what I saw."

Li Qi answered truthfully.

He had indeed only seen one bat demon in the Feisha Gang. If he had seen a second one, he would not have been able to hide it from the Six Gates.

But if there really is only one bat demon, then why did the bodies of those killed by the bat demon disappear inexplicably?
Li Qi was still thinking, but Li Qiao didn't want to waste time talking to Jiang Ming.

She said directly:
"Aqi said he only saw one, so there was only one! And this bat demon has been killed by him, it has nothing to do with him! If your bodies are lost, then it's lost, what does it have to do with us?"

Li Qiao's words were blunt, making Jiang Ming frown even more tightly.

The atmosphere became tense, and the constables that Jiang Ming brought with him also showed some dissatisfaction.

As a member of the Six Gates, they usually show off their power and shout at the people in the martial arts world, but in front of Li Qiao, they do the opposite, which of course makes them unhappy.

But there's nothing I can do about it.

Who made Li Qiao lean against Qiqiao Villa?

Seeing the atmosphere becoming increasingly tense, Li Qi interrupted at the critical moment and asked:

"Captain Jiang, did those bodies disappear overnight? Before they disappeared...did you hear any movement?"

Li Qi's kind attitude made Jiang Ming breathe a sigh of relief. He adjusted his mentality and explained:
"The people who were in charge of guarding the bodies at the time were the county constables. According to them, they heard no noise at night, but when they opened the door this morning, the bodies were gone."

"There is such a thing..." Li Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes full of interest. He thought for a moment and said to Jiang Ming: "Captain Jiang, if you don't mind, can you let me go to the scene and take a look?"

"Archie!?"

Seeing that Li Qi was interested in this matter, Li Qiao couldn't help but call him.

Li Qi gave Li Qiao a calming look and said:
"I'm just going to take a look. It's no problem."

The body mysteriously disappeared. This was definitely not the work of an ordinary person. It was possible that the legendary "monster" was at work.

If there is a monster... maybe Li Qi can catch it alive and study it.
