Chapter 5265: Is My Last Name Li?
âAll of them deserve a beating.â She continued to stare at Li Qiye.
âWhy do you hate the Li so much? Was one your lover?â Li Qiye peeled and ate another peanut.
âPah!â She said with disdain: âI would never fall in love with any of those cowards.â
âMakes sense, sorry for the stupid question.â Li Qiye nodded and said: âThis clan must have fallen hard, to be utterly despised by a young lady.â
âYou donât agree that they all deserve a beating?â Her gaze remained fixated on him.
âThis is good, another plate.â Li Qiye ordered another plate of soybeans instead of answering.
A plate appeared out of nowhere and Li Qiye paid with another treasure.
He took a sip before staring at the girl to answer: âI donât understand why you want to beat the Li in particular and not anyone else, like the Lu or whatever.â
She picked up the jar with both hands and finished it before slamming the table: âAnother.â
One appeared and she tossed out coins. It didnât matter the payment amount, they would all disappear into thin air.
She took a big gulp before wiping her mouth and responding: âI heard stories about a cultivator with this last name, extremely arrogant and unreasonable.â
Li Qiye peeled another peanut and blew the skin away. It fluttered like a dancing fairy, looking rather beautiful.
âArrogant and unreasonable? How so?â He then asked.
âThe guy claimed to be the greatest in the world, fiercest or whatever, Prime Immortal Emperor.â She said: âI donât buy it, which is why I want to beat him up.â
âI see, claiming to be the best, how shameless and vulgar just like a brat. He does deserve a beating.â Li Qiye nodded in agreement.
âUnfortunately, I havenât met a Li capable of putting up a good fight since my dao debut, just a bunch of weaklings collapsing after the slightest touch, all pathetic.â She drank and said.
âSigh, forget about it.â He peeled a soybeanâs shell and relished the taste: âThis is it, the taste is wonderful like a prisoner getting to see the sun again.â
âWhat?â She glanced strangely at him.
âThe pleasant warmth of the sun is comforting, makes you feel alive after being trapped in a dark jail.â Li Qiye smiled.
âSounds like seeking joy amidst misery.â She responded.
âThe world is a prison.â Li Qiye was in a good mood while snacking: âItâs just that people donât know that theyâre the prisoners.â
âThatâs true, have a drink.â She was surprised by the sudden comment but agreed with it so she offered a toast.
âThanks, thatâs why itâs best to be a turtle nowadays, itâs safer.â Li Qiye raised his bowl.
She finished the jar and asked for another before glancing implicatively at Li Qiye: âYouâre making me think that your last name is Li.â
âAnd if I insist that Li isnât my last name?â He responded.
âI can beat you until you admit it.â She said.
âSigh, no peace these days, looks like youâre rather stubborn.â He shook his head.
âDonât worry, itâs not that bad being a Li.â She said: âOnce youâre near death from the beating, just call me Big Sis and Iâll spare you.â
âThatâs quite a dilemma. If I call you Big Sis, itâs insulting since it implies that youâre old.â Li Qiye shrugged and calmly responded, peeling and eating another salted peanut.
He enjoyed how it was perfectly seasoned and roasted to a crispy texture.
âLet me elaborate, anyone who is old enough for me to call Big Sister has already turned into a pile of bones. Thereâs no way to turn back the clock now so by addressing you as such, Iâm actually cursing and shortening your lifespan.â Li Qiye joked.
âIs that so?â She scoffed and said with disdain.
âYes, I should be calling a cute girl such as yourself Lil Sister.â Li Qiye smiled.
âYouâre asking for it now. Come, letâs fight.â She said arrogantly.
âNo thanks, I am a true gentleman who fights with words, not fists. Trust me, you donât want to get in a fight with me.â He chuckled and shook his head.
âIâve been looking for that Li guy to see how arrogant he is, to see if he can handle my beating. Looks like I have to delay that today and teach you a lesson first.â She became annoyed and glared at him.
âPlease donât.â Li Qiye poured a full bowl and came over to hand it to her: âWhy fight when we can drink, here.â
She finished the bowl in one go before asking what seems to be an invisible bartender for more.
âTell me the truth, is your last name Li?â She hiccuped after another full gulp before asking.
âSigh, I donât want to be a Li.â Li Qiye said sentimentally.
At this time, a youth with starry eyes and other great features entered the tavern, looking as impressive as can be.
âOh, heâs a Li.â Li Qiye smirked and pointed at the youth - Li Zhitian.
Li Zhitian was excited to see Li Qiye but didnât understand the situation.
âYes, my last name is Li.â Li Zhitian said.
âA Li, I see.â The woman stared at him.
âMy name is Li Zhitian, is there anything I can do for you, Miss?â He asked politely.
âYou have committed an unforgivable sin, your last name is Li.â Li Qiye laughed while clapping his hands.
â...â Li Zhitian remained confused.
âLittle Li, come, letâs have a duel outside.â The woman came over and grabbed him by the collar, nearly lifting him off the ground.
âIâ¦â He didnât know what he did to be put into this situation: âIâve never offended you, Miss.â
She casually tossed him to the side, causing him to roll for a bit before stabilizing.
âYouâre not qualified to offend me, your fault lies in your last name.â She said.
He trembled after witnessing her chilling gaze - something rather rare given his supreme talent.
âWhat a great development.â Li Qiye finished his bowl and said: âMiss, teach him a lesson and make him change his last name.â
