Chapter 315 With Liu Ling'er
Moments later, they had arrived at a hill, but the air around them was quite cold, so Chen Li immediately hugged Liu Ling'er and used his Qi to warm her.
"Oh! I don't feel cold at all! Is this also your ability?" Chen Li simply nodded at her, and Liu Ling'er then rubbed his cheek. "Compared to the kid who always liked fooling around in the garden with Xian'er back then, you are much more mature now. I was really envious of your free life, and you even have so many women by your side without caring about other people's opinions."
"Everyone grows up eventually, right?" Chen Li asked her. "Even though you don't realize it, you yourself are also much more mature compared to the nerd who is always alone under that big tree, and you have achieved your dream to become a singer."
Liu Ling'er smiled before breaking free from Chen Li's embrace, and she walked to the side of the cliff. "Even though I have achieved my dream, my life is not what everyone imagines, and my life is too winding."
"I'm not much different from you either, you know?" Chen Li said as he stood beside Liu Ling'er as he crossed his arms behind his back. "Honestly, I never imagined that I would have so many women now, and I always dreamed of having a simple family with Xian'er, but that incident changed my life in another direction."
"What actually happened to you?" Liu Ling'er asked as she turned to him.
"Some people tried to kill me, but-"
"What? Are you serious about that?" Liu Ling'er asked with an expression full of shock.
"I didn't lie to you, but we don't need to talk about that incident, especially since I'm standing in front of you in good health now." Chen Li then raised both fists in the air. "Back then, I was a weakling, but now I have the strength to take revenge on my enemies, and my hands are already covered in their blood."
"Have you really killed people before?" Liu Ling'er asked as her body trembled; she felt shocked after hearing Chen Li's confession.
"I kill those who deserve to be killed, and I spare those who deserve to be forgiven." Liu Ling'er took a deep breath after she heard that. "Moreover, I have a huge responsibility with the future of many people resting on my shoulders now, so in order to protect them, it doesn't matter if I have to wet my hands with more blood."
Hearing that, Liu Ling'er inwardly muttered. 'He is so cold yet also warm; such a huge burden can't be compared to mine.'
Chen Li then turned to her. "Now tell me, how do you want me to help you solve your problems?"
"I don't know; even though my problems are not as big as yours, they make me very stressed." Liu Ling'er answered with a heavy sigh. "As the saying goes, wealth can bring happiness to people, but wealth can also blind people's hearts. When we lived with simplicity, our lives were calm and peaceful. However, everything changed after my parents became successful, and they became more greedy with each passing year. Their attitude got worse after I achieved my popularity, and they kept forcing me to do various shows without caring that I was exhausted. Even Big Sis Xuan felt sorry for me, and she had tried to talk to them, but they wouldn't heed her words."
Suddenly, tears flowed freely from the corner of Liu Ling's eyes, and Chen Li sighed softly before hugging her. "Can you imagine how I would feel to marry an old man who was even older than my father? I kept begging them to refuse his request, but they ignored my pleas, and they kept urging me to marry him instead."
"What exactly did he promise your parents?" Chen Li asked with raised eyebrows, for he was sure that Liu Ling'er's parents wouldn't be so insistent on marrying her off to Luo Jingtian if he didn't promise them certain compensation, and he also suspected that he was the mastermind behind the bankruptcy of her parents' company.
"What else?" Liu Ling'er cried louder. "Luo Jingtian promised them to clear their debts to him, and he also promised them to save their company."
"I see." Chen Li nodded in understanding. "Sigh, it's really troublesome when humans are blinded by wealth, and they can't care about their families. What about your big sister? If I'm not mistaken, her name is Liu Yue, right?"
"Yes." Liu Ling'er nodded to him. "Currently, Big Sis Yue has run away from home, and she lives with her best friend in Hainan, but they repeatedly try to force her to come home, and they also want to set her up with another old man."
"Hmm?" Chen Li frowned upon hearing that. "Who is the other old man?"
"Liang Rukai, the father of Su Mengyao's former manager, Liang Xijian."
Chen Li was really surprised to hear that name. "Hey, your parents are completely idiots, huh? Don't they know Liang Rukai's true identity?"
"Do you know anything about Liang Rukai?" Liu Ling'er asked as she looked up at him.
Chen Li nodded to her. "The Liang family is the leader of the biggest gang in Shanghai."
"Eh?" Liu Ling'er was shocked to hear that. "Is that true that Liang Rukai is really the leader of a gang?"
"Yes." Chen Li then told her. "Liang Rukai really is the leader of that gang, and Liang Ximing is his deputy. Moreover, he also has a good relationship with Luo Jingtian, so I'm not surprised that your parents want to marry your big sister to him."
"What do you think I should do now, Chen Li?" Liu Ling'er asked as she lowered her head, for she felt confused about finding the right solution to solve her problem.
'Scan Liu Ling'er.'

Chen Li was really shocked after he read Liu Ling'er's status, especially about her gravity superpower, but he felt confused between space and void. However, before he could ask Xiao Kong'er, she had already appeared above them, and she teased him directly. "Your luck with women is truly great, Little Master."
'Hey, Sister Kong'er, what's the difference between space and void?'
Xiao Kong'er tapped her finger on her chin and told Chen Li. "The simple explanation is that this whole planet is a space that is protected by space walls, so living beings can live in it. As for the Void, it's basically nothing; there is only total darkness and emptiness, so no living beings can live in it except those who have Void Qi."
'So you're saying that void is a higher level than space?'
Xiao Kong'er nodded to him. "Cultivators who have Void Qi can use Space Qi too, but people who have Space Qi will not be able to use Void Qi. Anyway, I think it would be better if you taught this girl to be a cultivator, and you can also bring that girl named Luo Yi. After all, we need a lot of allies in the future, and I think it's a win-win solution for all of you."
Chen Li sighed in his heart after hearing that. 'I'll think about it first, Sister Kong'er.'
After all, the two women were different from Guo Qing and Li Xue, and Chen Li had known his two good friends since they were very young, plus their family relationship had been very close for a long time, so he had no problem teaching them to become cultivators. As for Luo Yi and Liu Ling'er, he didn't have any closeness with them or their families, so he felt hesitant about teaching the two to become cultivators.
"All right then, you can think about everything first, for we're not in a rush either." After she said that, Xiao Kong'er immediately entered Tianyi Realm again, but she also felt curious about Liu Ling'er, for she felt a familiar aura from her.
"Chen Li?" Liu Ling'er called out softly after seeing his strange expression. 'Is he not willing to help me?'
Chen Li sighed softly and rubbed Liu Ling'er's head. "For now, I think it would be better if you lived separately from your parents, so you wouldn't be stressed because of their insistence."
"You're right, but they'll keep looking for me." Liu Ling'er replied with a soft sigh.
"As I recall, Uncle Liu Zhen is your uncle, right?" Liu Ling'er nodded to him. "Moreover, you also have a gravity superpower, so I think you don't need to care too much about your parents, and you can protect yourself if Luo Jingtian tries to do something to you."
"Eh? How did you know about my gravity superpower?" Liu Ling'er asked him in surprise, but Chen Li just smiled at her, causing her to pout her lips. "You're right about that, but I was too lazy to train it, especially after I became a singer, so I had a little trouble controlling my superpower."
"It doesn't matter." Chen Li then asked her. "How about I take you to Uncle Liu's house now? If you explain everything to him and Sister Ying, I'm sure they won't mind having you stay with them for the time being."
After she thought about it for a while, Liu Ling'er nodded to him. "All right, we can meet my uncle and cousin right now."
