The footsteps stopped outside the door.
"Teacher Xia, are you asleep?" Li Ni's voice came from outside the door.
"Not yet." Xia Lei casually replied, but the moment he said that, he immediately regretted it. Since it was already so late, and the Village Chief had knocked on his door, if he did not sleep, wouldn't he have to open the door for him? However, opening the door meant that there were certain aspects of trouble.
"Mm, then open the door, I have something to talk to you about." Li Ni's voice.
Xia Lei laughed bitterly as he shook his head. Although he was unwilling, he still got up to open the door for Li Ni. Seeing Li Ni at the door, he was stunned.
Li Ni was only wearing a set of white cotton pajamas. She seemed to have just taken a shower. Her skin was still wet, and some of the water had stuck to her veil.
A hint of anger surfaced at the corner of Li Ni's mouth, she hugged her arms, "It's so cold at night, are you going to let me stand at the door?"
Xia Lei regained his senses and stepped aside.
Li Ni entered the room, directly walked to Xia Lei's bedside and pulled the blanket over him. She was indeed frozen, and goosebumps could be seen clearly on his bare skin. The night in the New World was cold, like the winter in the north of Earth. In the night here, there would not be anyone who would wear so little to walk around. Li Ni seemed to have set a precedent.
"So cold, so cold... "Duo duo duo..." Li Ni shivered.
Xia Lei was amused by her, "You know you can wear so little outside? Aren't you asking for trouble? "
Li Ni glared at Xia Lei.
Xia Lei laughed: "You're staring at me again, why do you like staring at me so much? "It looks aggressive, but I know you're not evil at all."
"Can't I only be fierce to you?" Li Ni glared at Xia Lei again.
Xia Lei was a little speechless, "Alright, why are you looking for me so late at night?"
"I... I want to talk to you. " Li Ni suddenly became a little nervous.
Xia Lei said: "If you're trying to persuade me to join the Rebel Army, then forget it. I have made it clear that I am a man used to wandering freely and that I do not want to join any military organization. "
"But the Rebel Army is fighting for the fate of the entire human race. You and I are both members of the human race, so our fates are closely intertwined. This is also helping yourself. " Li Ni said.
Xia Lei said: "Liang Tao was captured by Huang Zhan and imprisoned in Stone Tribe. I saved him, and I am also helping Rebel Army right now. We found Huang Zhan's treasury, he wanted to take away that precious spiritual ore, I agreed, after all, I was helping the Rebel Army. I am using my own way to help the Rebel Army, but I will not join them. "
"Wait ?" Li Ni suddenly said, "You just said that you found a spiritual ore?"
Xia Lei's heart was moved, "You know about spiritual ore?"
Li Ni said: "I know a bit, but it was all told to me by my father, it's just some legends."
"Tell me!" Xia Lei asked anxiously.
Li Ni said: "My father said that the spiritual ore is the most mysterious of ores. It has recorded the mysteries of the universe. Whoever can solve this secret, will possess unrivalled power, able to travel through time and space as he pleases, and also able to explore the universe as he pleases. "
"He can travel through space and time at will?" Xia Lei was stunned.
Li Ni rolled her eyes at Xia Lei, "Your reaction is as if you can control that power. My father told me that no one can control that power, but legend has it that there's an ancient flying ship that can."
"What ship?" Xia Lei panicked again.
"Ancient Branding ship." Li Ni looked as if she was recalling past memories. She thought for a while before replying, "My father told me that the Primordial Mark's ship was very, very ancient. No one knows when it was born, nor does anyone know who its true owner is. However, many legends have described it as a city of gods. "
For some reason, Xia Lei suddenly thought of that Stone Town. Carcia Ruiz had named it the City of the Sky, but it seemed like that name was far from expressing its meaning!
"Tell me more about the Archaic brand." Xia Lei urged.
Li Ni shrugged her shoulders, "That's all I know. If you want to know more, then join Rebel Army. Kangtu Nana knows even more."
The topic of conversation turned back to the starting point.
Xia Lei could not help but smile bitterly, "Why don't you understand what I'm thinking? I won't join the Rebel Army, you won't be able to convince me, and don't think you can coax me to join the Rebel Army either. "
Just as he finished speaking, the blanket on Li Ni's shoulder also fell. She had shrugged her shoulders a moment ago, a seemingly casual gesture, but a hidden motive.
When the blanket fell down, Li Ni's lotus root-like arm was exposed, her skin was white and tender, smooth and exquisite. Even a picky man would find it hard to find any fault with her skin.
Her upper body slightly tilted backwards, and her two hands supported her blanket. "Teacher Xia, join the Rebel Army with me."
Xia Lei laughed bitterly and shook his head, "You go ahead, I'm not going." Then he walked over to her.
Li Ni tensed up, but just when she thought something was going to happen, Xia Lei grabbed her blanket and covered her body.
Xia Lei said: "You are very beautiful, you are also a very good woman, but I ? But I can't be with you. Each of us has a destiny of our own, and there are no women in mine. I know Liang Tao gave you a mission, he wanted you to convince me to join the Rebel Army, even if it meant paying such a price. There's no need for you to do this. You are ruining yourself, and also tarnishing Rebel Army's reputation. Go and tell Liang Tao that I said it, I'll sleep with you, but I'm still not willing to join the revolutionary army. You have paid a price, and this price is enough for you to obtain recognition within the Rebel Army. "
"You ?" Li Ni's eyes were full of disappointment and unwillingness. If Xia Lei did not mention Liang Tao's mission, she would not even be able to remember that mission!
"You can go." Xia Lei said.
But at this moment, Li Ni suddenly crawled out of bed, fiercely threw herself into Xia Lei's embrace, and said with a trembling voice: "What are you pretending for? And don't pretend to be a gentleman! "
Dong, dong, dong!
There was a knock on the door.
"Teacher Xia, are you asleep?" Lin Qing's voice sounded from outside the door, "I milked you. It's still warm, drink when it's hot."
Xia Lei panicked and anxiously said: "I'll be right there."
"Don't say I'm inside!" Li Ni said in a low voice. He suddenly lied on the ground and then slowly crawled under the bed.
Black lines appeared on Xia Lei's forehead.
"Teacher Xia?" Lin Qing's voice sounded, "Hurry up, your milk is going to get cold soon."
Xia Lei, "..."
When the door opened, Lin Qing who was dressed in a cotton jacket looked bloated, but it was still difficult to hide her sexy and beautiful appearance.
Xia Lei saw the small half bowl of milk in her hands, and without saying a word, he drained Lin Qing's milk in one gulp.
"Won't you invite me in?" Lin Qing said.
Xia Lei walked out of the room, and even closed the door behind him, "I'll send you back, I'm worried about you going back alone."
"Yes." Lin Qing replied softly.
Xia Lei secretly thought in his heart: "Looks like I have to leave this place as soon as possible, otherwise I'll be tied down."
Women, why do they always like to look at faces?
Depends on strength...
He couldn't judge based on his strength either!
He would always be stuck in such a predicament, unable to find an answer.
