Lu Li didn't go to the area of demons at the Thousand-island Lake after he reached the middle stage of the Fate Wheel Realm. He needed more time in cultivation to stabilize his realm.
He planned to stay at the Ling Empress City for 10 more days. For one thing, he could spend some time with Lu Feixue. For another, he could use the chance to enhance his relationship with Bai Qiuxue and to stabilize his realm as well.
He had asked Madam Yan to buy a jade armor to give to Bai Xiashuang at the auction house. Finally, Bai Xiashuang was willing to forget what had happened.
But he made zero progress on bettering his relationship with Bai Qiuxue because of Bai Xiashuang's constant interruptions. What was more, even when they were dating, Lu Li was afraid to touch Bai Qiuxue since Bai Xiashuang would sense it…
Lu Li had to keep his distance and the couple had to cast amorous glances at each other.
