Chapter 118 Visiting the System's House

The sun was still in the sky, and it was afternoon, not evening.

After being stunned for a while, Qu Ting turned around and said to Princess Wuyu: "Why is Heige here?"

The news he heard was that the 'prophet' rescued the princess and returned to the royal family.

But there is no mention in this news that 'Illusionist Hague is also among them'!

Hearing this, Princess Wuyu said seriously: "Let me introduce you. This is the prophet of the empire, Heiger."

Just like when she introduced Qu Ting to them, even the punctuation marks were exactly the same.

"Hmm." Li Li cooperated with a smile.

It's just that the identities are reversed, and the person standing next to the princess and being introduced is changed from Qu Ting to Li Li.

Qu Ting seemed to be abandoned: "???"

In broad daylight, was he blinded by the illusionist's hallucination?

Perhaps because the purple-haired old man didn't look well, Wu Yu seemed to be concerned about him and asked, "Qu Ting, are you okay?"

The purple-haired old man had completely forgotten about his disguise as an elder that he hadn't worn out for decades, and he even felt like he was going to pass out at any moment.

"Thank you for your concern, Princess, but..." Qu Ting took a deep breath, pointed at Li Li, then pointed at himself, "A rebel from the empire is now standing above a noble like me? Is the royal family kidding me?"

He was not convinced, very dissatisfied.

Qu Ting is a member of an old noble family, and is also a SS-rank noble clan leader. His abilities allow him to do whatever he wants in the empire. Although he is confined to the floating city and cannot leave, he is not someone that anyone can climb over.

Not to mention that it was Li Li who had led rebels and embarrassed him.

This statement questioned the royal family's decision and involved the royal dignity. Princess Wuyu's face became serious and she said in a cold voice: "This is the royal family's decision. You have no right to question it."

"I'm going to see Him," Qu Ting said.

What he envied was never the royal family, but the Him behind the royal family.

Li Li watched from the sidelines for a while. An Heyu, Lin Ruye and other S-class nobles did not know the existence of Libra, but from Qu Ting's reaction, the SS-class psychics knew about it.

She also knew about Lin Ran. In the memory that An Heyu read before, Lin Ran stayed in the palace for a while before leaving the floating city, and he should have been talking to Tian Ping.

Only SS-rank psychics have the right to access the true situation of this world, and only they are qualified to communicate with Libra.

The royal family, who all had no superpowers, controlled the news and kept it secret among a few people who knew the truth.

Li Li turned her head and glanced at the

Pink-haired girl. Princess Kirisame has a look of maturity and determination that is not in line with her age, and she also has the dignity and inviolability of a member of the royal family.

In a sense, this princess really lives up to her status. After all, she is just a person without superpowers, and she should not be allowed to participate in the clashes between high-level superpowers.

It’s just that Li Li and she have different ideas, so naturally they can’t agree.

"Are you not convinced?" Li Li said slowly.

Qu Ting questioned her status, and she also wanted to take advantage of the situation to see where Libra's bottom line was towards her.

The so-called gift is to humiliate Qu Ting, or...

Can directly kill this SS-rank noble.

The so-called high status means nothing to her. The most important thing is power, the power she has in this floating city.

Her right hand turned in the air, and a dagger appeared in her hand. She smiled slightly, and her figure disappeared in an instant. The sunlight was blinding, and a line of blood splashed out in the air, and then formed a liquid flow like a rope.

Qu Ting didn't expect Li Li to hit him as soon as she said so. The red wound on his throat started bleeding, and at the same time, the "counterattack" was triggered.

The corner of her black windbreaker curved, Li Li put away her knife and turned around, her boots touching the ground and stopping their slide. A bloodstain also appeared on her neck, and it was deeper.

The spurting blood dyed half of her smiling face red.

"Are you crazy?!" Qu Ting said angrily, "This is a floating city! Didn't Wu Yu explain this to you clearly?!"

The blood line was used to mend Qu Ting's wound, and at the same time, Li Li reached out and touched her throat with her fingertips.

The blood on his face dissipated, and the wounds healed instantly!

"Counter-injury, not inability to be injured." Li Li faced Qu Ting and took a step forward with a smile, as if nothing had just happened.

"That is, I kill you before the counterattack takes effect, or I inflict damage little by little until your body collapses. Both methods can kill you," she said with a smile.

She is already at the SS level, so she is certainly not afraid of a head-on confrontation with Qu Ting, who is also at the SS level.

But Qu Ting couldn't help but take a step back.

Blood was flying around him, but he only took a defensive stance besides repairing his wounds. His brows were full of anger, and he was obviously irritated.

But he didn't make a move.

"No direct conflict between SS ranks!" Princess Wuyu spoke out to stop them.

Her usually calm face changed, revealing a rare look of panic befitting her age.

However, in the battle between two SS-rank warriors, she, a person without psychic powers, could not intervene, and the mid-level psychic guards beside her could not help either.

"You can't do it?" Li Li said suddenly.

Qu Ting's face became even uglier.

The floating city is under the supervision of Libra, and the nobles have made deals with Libra. They can enslave civilians and do things according to their mood, but they cannot conflict with people of the same SS rank in any case.

Unless one gets Libra's permission like Lin Ran did, he can leave the floating city and attack the prophet who is also SS-rank.

"What a pity." Li Li said with regret, "I can."

Qu Ting: “?!”

"On what basis!" Qu Ting said angrily.

He was bound by Libra's deal, unable to leave the floating city, and unable to attack people of the same level. Lin Ran could leave, Li Li could attack him, but he still could do nothing.

For the first time, as a member of the privileged class, he encountered someone more privileged than himself.

A long sword materialized behind Li, and the blade came in an instant with a sharp wind.

"You also ask why." Li Li said softly.

Yes, on what basis?

What is it based on you and what is it based on me?

The blood lines gathered and collided violently with the long sword.

"Do you know how Qu Yan died?"

After the red blood line swept away the long knife in front of her, Li Li stood there, smiling, and said to Qu Ting.

"He never thought that a noble born from humble origins could have the ability to freeze souls."

The next moment, ice spread out with her feet as the center, and the blood flow slowed down in the severe cold, as if it was about to solidify.

"Libra!" Qu Ting suddenly shouted, "Do you want me to die?"

The power exchange from the SSS level restricted his attack. After he tried to wipe out Li Li's attack, pain surged from inside his body and from his soul.

The dagger in Li Li's hand was like a fluttering butterfly. The ice surface spread from her hand, and the snow and frost surrounded the dagger, forming an appearance of being surrounded by ice. The red pupils behind the silver mask were always looking at Qu Ting, with a completely different calm expression from Zhang Yang.

Qu Ting was abandoned by Libra.

The blood line collided with the frost dagger, and the black figure was like an elusive shadow, following closely.

Qu Ting's body climbed up the frost rock, and Li Li also suffered the backlash of SS-level supernatural power.

Blood splashed around her body like a blooming flower, but her eyes were still smiling, as if she didn't feel any pain at all.

"You...crazy guy!" Qu Ting said finally.

The ice wrapped him up completely, like an ice sculpture made by a craftsman. Then Li Li raised his hand, turned around, and casually threw the dagger in his hand.

The dagger hit the ice sculpture, and there were several crisp cracking sounds.

"Bang."

It shattered into pieces of ice and scattered on the ground.

Under the sunlight, it glows faintly.

The surface of the broken ice reflected the few people who had just arrived. They stood beside Princess Misty Rain and witnessed the death of their former colleagues.

They were nobles living in the floating city. Among them, a green-haired man and a blue-haired woman stood at the front, and the people around them were at a distance from them.

He was the patriarch of the Sang and Feng families, and two of the six SS-level psychics in the floating city.

No, now maybe it should be called two quarters.

Because the patriarchs of the Lin and Qu clans were already dead.

They did not see the passing of the former, but were here to witness the death of the latter.

The black-haired young man who had taken action simply raised his eyes, smiled, and looked at them nonchalantly with his red eyes.

"Is this the 'prophet' designated by the royal family?" said the Sang clan leader.

"What is he thinking?" said the Feng clan leader, "Why could he attack us?"

Princess Misty Rain simply said, "He is the 'prophet'."

Someone who is only below the royal family and emperor.

"Nice to meet you." Li Li walked forward slowly, and faced the ever-changing faces of these people with a polite smile, "Nobles."

This time she was really invited to be the guest in a grand and open manner, and it was not an excuse.

...

After the episode in front of the palace, the royal family arranged a banquet to welcome Li Li.

The clan leaders of various noble families were also invited to the banquet, but they usually did not get involved in such matters, but on this day they all attended.

They looked subtly at the black-haired young man sitting in the high seat and saw that she looked listless and had very little interest in the party.

[Don't want to stay anymore?] the system asked.

"Let's meet." Li Li said.

She fiddled with the dagger in her hand out of boredom, which frightened some people below.

The name of the illusionist Heiger was on the empire's highest bounty a few days ago, and they all knew who Li Li was.

A brutal, violent, crazy guy.

They didn't know why this person had suddenly become the 'prophet' of the empire, but that didn't stop them from being afraid of her.

[Okay.] The system responded quickly, [I'll let Wu Yu bring you here.]

Li Li looked at Princess Wu Yu. Just as the system said, she seemed to be listening to something attentively. Then she stood up, saluted to the emperor, left her seat and walked towards Li Li.

She also left, and after she left, the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly relaxed.

The imperial palace covers a large area. After turning a few corners, Princess Wu Yu brought Li Li to a palace.

She walked here, nodded to Li Li, and left.

Li Li glanced at Princess Wuyu's back and then pushed open the door.

Inside the door was a sea of ​​light pink flowers. A few petals passed by Li Li's eyes and flew out with the wind.

The small bridge and flowing water are completely different from the magnificence of the palace, and appear to be elegant.

As Li Li entered the place, a man in a white coat was sitting on a stone bench next to a stone table, his figure hidden in the loose clothing. His long white hair fell around him, spreading out like branches. His light pink pupils were filled with a mist that seemed to transcend the world. He raised his head, his face was delicate and indistinguishable from male and female, like a sculpture that was carved to the most aesthetic level.

He looked at Li Li and gave her a friendly smile.

“We meet at last,” He said.

This is Libra.

But Li Li's first thought when she saw Him was not why He looked like this, whether the system really was a person with a physical body, or whether the cartoon on this face was definitely lethal.

But it’s Libra, is he a man or a woman?

The voice was definitely male, but there was no Adam's apple, and the face was also soft and feminine. Li Li couldn't determine the gender of the system for a moment, which made her think of Dan in disguise and herself in disguise.

Are all conceptual types so independent and eccentric? No, they are conceptual types, that's fine.

As a conceptual person, Li Li agrees with this.
