My Endless Life
Chapter 198 The Disappearing Corpse
It was already night when they left the Six Gates.
Bai Yuzhu led them all the way to Zhang's house, and they planned to rest for a few days before leaving.
The head of the Zhang family in Linbian City was once a disciple of Xuanjianmen. Later, he failed to enter the inner gate because of his poor skills, and returned home to inherit the family business with the eighth-grade martial arts cultivation.
Therefore, the Zhang family in Linbian City is considered a subsidiary force of Xuanjianmen, and Bai Yuzhu and his companions must be treated with courtesy.
Manager Zhang called Bai Yuzhu "Miss" for this reason.
"Tell me, what is the matter with the bat monster?"
After returning to Zhang's house, everyone settled down, and Li Qiao pulled Li Qi over to ask about the bat monster.
Bai Yuzhu on the side also stared at Li Qi with big eyes, waiting for him to start telling stories.
From childhood to adulthood, Bai Yuzhu liked to listen to Li Qi's stories the most, even if he told a lie, Bai Yuzhu liked to listen.
Li Qi shrugged, sat casually at the table, and explained:
"Just like what I said to Captain Jiang, I just ran into him by accident, but you...how did you find me so quickly?"
Although Li Qi had been in this city for a few days, these two people didn't come early or late, but found him when Li Qi was fighting with others and couldn't get away.
This coincidence is too weird.
Li Qiao didn't think too much, she said bluntly:
"We also heard rumors that there are monsters here, so we want to come and take a look. Is there any problem?"
"It just feels a bit coincidental."
Li Qi told the truth.
Li Qiao knocked his head in anger:
"If it's not the right time, God knows where you'll run to. I can see that you're hiding from us on purpose, right?"
"How is that possible!" Li Qi blinked: "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 stared at Li Qi, then changed the subject and said: "Forget it, I've found you anyway, I won't say more.
"Daddy and Uncle Bai set the date for you on August 23. Someone calculated that day and it's a good day. Now it's July 9th, and there's still a month and a half left.
"Just go back before August 23."
"... So urgent?"
"Don't worry, after all, you grew up together and have no problem with each other. Getting married 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, sighed slightly, and then smiled:
"How could I not be willing? Sister Yuzhu is so beautiful, of course I am willing."
"That's fine, it's getting late, Yuzhu and I will go 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, showing 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 next to the table and sighed, without any joy in his eyes.
"Get married..."
This world is similar to ancient China, and although Confucianism is not so serious due to the prosperity of martial arts, there are still some things that should be 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 have been married since birth, they are destined to be together in the future.
If one of them regrets the marriage, it is not the business of the two of them, but the business of the forces behind them.
Just like in "Battle Through the Heavens", once someone in the two families regrets the marriage, the relationship between them will drop to the freezing point.
Qiqiao Villa has always been on good terms with Xuanjianmen, and the friendship between the two families has been for decades. Now that Li Qi and Bai Yuzhu are together, it is even more of a close relationship, which is a good thing for both families.
So whether it is for the sake of the elders, or for the ancient "parents' orders", or for the relationship between the two families.
Li Qi can only marry Bai Yuzhu.
Bai Yuzhu has no other thoughts about this. She has been influenced by the ancient environment since she was a child. After knowing what kind of person her future husband is, she has tied all her thoughts to Li Qi.
As the novel says, women who disobey their parents' orders and bravely pursue love are ultimately a minority.
Bai Yuzhu is not included in this list, and she really likes Li Qi.
But the problem is...
Li Qi doesn't have much feeling for her.
Whether it's family love or friendship, Li Qi has experienced it, but only love... After the throbbing of childhood sweethearts in the first two worlds, he seems to have lost that kind of heartbeat.
The love he felt when he was with Bai Yuzhu was just a disguise.
"Forget it, it's just a deal anyway..."
Li Qi sighed in his heart.
Marriage, it's not like he hasn't done this before.
Although marriage feels like a headache, according to Bai Yuzhu's personality, she shouldn't be bossing Li Qi around in the future.
This is the good thing about traditional women. Once married, everything is based on the husband's family. Even if Li Qi and Xuanjianmen are on the opposite side in the future, Bai Yuzhu can only choose to stand on Li Qi's side.
In this case, there is nothing to worry about.
It is better to think about the matter of the bat monster.
Li Qi has seen two monsters in this world so far, one is like a toad, without consciousness.
The other is the bat spirit seen here.
Then the question is, did these monsters exist in this world before, or did they appear recently?
If they existed before, why didn't similar rumors appear before.
If they just appeared now, where did they come from?
No... Another alien, right?
Thinking of the truth he found in his previous life, Li Qi was a little confused.
Don't be an alien, the martial arts world and aliens have nothing to do with each other...
Well, if there is a chance, I have to get a living monster to study.
Li Qi thought about these and lay on the bed, and fell asleep in his wild thoughts.
It seems that Li Qi has the advantage in the fight with the bat spirit today, but in fact, the strength of the two is actually similar.
The strength of the bat spirit should have broken through the innate, but it was suppressed by Li Qi because Li Qi had too many methods.
Therefore, Li Qi also paid a lot of energy.
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 stronger and more stable than the magic shield amplified by the magic device!
And the protective qi is passive!
As long as you are promoted to a master, the internal qi in your body will be in harmony with the external heaven and earth qi, and the protective qi will automatically float on the surface of your body.
Non-master-level strongmen cannot break the qi defense.
Because of this, Li Qi is very low-key in this world.
Now he is fully exerted, plus various "talismans" made, and those relic puppets, he can barely fight with the sixth-grade Xiantian realm.
And the fifth-grade Xiantian realm can also be 40-60, the opponent 40, Li Qi 60.
But if Li Qi encounters a strong man in the fourth-grade realm, he can only run for his life.
The bat spirit is similar to the sixth-grade, but his internal strength has not been promoted to the Xiantian realm. Li Qi also spent a lot of energy fighting him. Now that he has a chance to rest, he quickly falls asleep.
There was no conversation that 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 visit Li Qi and others at Zhang's house.
This person was Jiang Ming from the Six Gates.
He came because of the annihilation of the Feisha Gang yesterday.
"Hasn't it been confirmed that the annihilation 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 against Jiang Ming between her eyebrows.
Because the Six Gates 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 kind.
But Jiang Ming didn't think so. Seeing Li Qiao's bad tone, he quickly explained:
"Miss Li misunderstood. This matter naturally has nothing to do with the young men..."
"Then why did you come to us?"
"...This morning, my detectives found that the bodies of the Feisha Gang members who were collected disappeared! Not a single one was left!"
Jiang Ming said solemnly, and then looked at Li Qi: "That's why I came here to ask Young Master Li, besides the bat demon you saw yesterday, are there any other suspicious people?"
"There is only one bat demon in the entire Feisha Gang, and the rest have all been killed by it, at least that's what I saw."
Li Qi answered truthfully.
He did see only one bat demon in the Feisha Gang. If he saw a second one, he would not have concealed it from the Six Gates.
But if there was really only one bat demon, 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 talk nonsense with Jiang Ming.
She said directly:
"Aqi said he only saw one, so there is only one! And this bat demon has been killed by him, it has nothing to do with him! Your body is lost, what does it have to do with us?"
Li Qiao's words were not polite, making Jiang Ming frown even tighter.
The atmosphere became tense, and the constables brought by Jiang Ming also showed some dissatisfaction.
As a member of the Six Gates, they usually show off their power and yell at the people in the martial arts world, but in front of Li Qiao, they turned around, which of course made them unhappy.
But there was nothing they could do.
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 out a sigh of relief. He adjusted his mentality and explained:
"The people in charge of guarding these bodies at the time were the county constables. According to them, they did not hear any sound at night. As soon as the door was opened this morning, the bodies disappeared."
"There is such a thing..." Li Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were full of interest. He thought for a while and said to Jiang Ming: "Captain Jiang, if you don't mind, can you let me go to the scene to take a look?"
"Aqi!?"
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:
"Just take a look, it's okay."
The body disappeared strangely. This is definitely not the work of an ordinary person. Maybe there is a legendary "monster" at work.
If there is a monster... maybe Li Qi can catch it alive and study it.
