I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense

Chapter 830: Chapter 831: Seeing Wu Chengjue Again
 

Li Xiaobai waved his hand grandly, his killing intent boiling over as he headed straight for Tangneng First-class.

Upon entering the shop, one could see that all the Huazi on the shelves had been swept away and the entire second floor of the small building was empty, clearly the handiwork of those few True Disciples.

“Elder brother, they have gone too far!”

Chen Yuan said indignantly, clearly seeing this as a provocation.

“No matter, as long as they are still here, all is well.”

Li Xiaobai casually waved his hand, meaning that it was good the few trouble-making True Disciples upstairs hadn’t run off, but Chen Yuan heard it differently.

They are still here meant they were still alive, and that there were no concerns about their lives. Elder brother actually caring about their safety at such a time was truly touching!

It turned out that all his previous views about his elder brother were wrong—he really was a truly good person!

Thinking that he could not share his elder brother’s worries made a sense of guilt surge within him, and he resolved to diligently manage the Second Peak for his elder brother from now on!

On the second floor.

Inside the Tangneng First-class bathhouse.

A group of people were enjoying the effects of the bath, with smoke filling the bathhouse and mana abound. Even though they were Earth Immortal Realm cultivators, they felt fully relaxed and soft all over, feeling the Immortal Yuan in their bodies steadily climbing, smiling at the sensation.

No wonder Li Xiaobai’s progress was so godlike—it turned out he had such treasures to help him. However, to share such high-grade treasures with those lowly junior disciples was truly a waste of heaven’s gifts.

Such treasures should be reserved for the most core disciples in the sect to maximize the benefits. He really was a bumpkin, not even knowing how to utilize a treasure properly.

“Immortal Meng Yao, I apologize to you on behalf of that Li Xiaobai for his actions, which are truly infuriating to both humans and gods alike. I have already driven him away. From now on, you all can rest easy and stay at the Sword Sect for a while. I will contact your respective sects as soon as possible,” said Elder Brother Zhuo.

“This place is near the toilets, and the stench is overwhelming. How about moving to my residence to rest for a while?”Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Elder Brother Zhuo said to Wu Mengyao with a smile, a fervent look flashing in the depths of his eyes. It is hard for a hero to overcome the allure of a beautiful woman—who wouldn’t want to get close to a personage like this immortal?

However, it was a pity their statuses were so disparate; he knew he had no chance, and could only take the opportunity to improve her favorability towards him.

“Elder Brother Zhuo, you’re too kind. At this moment, our sect has already dispatched experts to search for us. It is best if we just wait here; there is no need to trouble Elder Brother Zhuo,” Wu Mengyao said in a clear, cold voice, seeing through the man’s petty thoughts immediately. This was a normal reaction for a man seeing her; that Li Xiaobai was a monster, treating her like a poop scooper, which was simply unreasonable.

However, comparatively speaking, at this moment she still felt it was safer to stay by Li Xiaobai’s side. Although it was a bit tough, tiring, and dirty, at least he had no interest in her. Furthermore, she did not believe that a mere Earth Immortal Realm cultivator could scare away someone so unyielding and stubborn.

“Hehe, since that is the case, I won’t insist, Elder Sister. I have already sent someone to report to the Sect Master, and I believe he will be here soon,” Elder Brother Zhuo laughed, not adding anything more.

“I heard that Li Xiaobai is one of the four great villains; did Elder Brother Zhuo happen to see the other three villains?” asked a woman in the corner of the bathhouse.

Dressed in a purple skirt and holding a light blue parasol, she looked stunningly beautiful.

For some reason, the moment the woman spoke, the temperature in the pool seemed to drop slightly, causing an involuntary shiver among those around.

Seeing this, Elder Brother Zhuo’s eyes lit up, and he quickly said, “Perhaps they hid after seeing us coming. Don’t worry, immortal, I’ll send someone to search for them right away and catch them all to vent your anger!”

“Understood, Elder Brother Zhuo, we will return shortly!”

The other disciples also cooperated well, rising to give a salute before walking out with big strides, a look of absolute obedience on their faces.

Elder Brother Zhuo was very pleased internally.

This was a veritable ice queen. Previously, he was so occupied chatting with Wu Mengyao that he completely missed noticing the woman in the corner who had an even more superior appearance and aura. She truly was a rare beauty!

But he did not see the unusual glances that Wu Mengyao and others were casting towards that woman.

They didn’t recognize this woman!

“Much appreciated.”

The ice-cold beauty nodded, her eyes devoid of worldly desires, making Elder Brother Zhuo even more enchanted.

It was at this moment that footsteps rang from outside the door, along with that familiar, annoying tone.

“Fellow Daoist, please halt.”

A flash of emerald green brilliance, and the disciples who were about to leave in front of the door vanished instantly.

“Who!”

“Who dares act recklessly here!”

Elder Brother Zhuo was shocked and hurriedly looked outside.

“Elder Brother Zhuo, bet you didn’t expect this, your junior brother is back again!”

Li Xiaobai chuckled.

“I was wondering who it could be, turns out it’s Junior Brother Li. Weren’t you quite swift in slipping away just now? Why have you come back again?”

Elder Brother Zhuo spoke indifferently.

“The guest comes bearing duties, I must properly host Elder Brother Zhuo indeed,” said Li Xiaobai.

“And what kind of hosting would that be?” Elder Brother Zhuo asked with interest.

“As the host, I invite you to dine in the latrine!”

Li Xiaobai gave a sinister laugh, clapped his hand on the Jade Gourd, and shouted, “Fellow Daoist, please halt!”

A sweep of emerald light, and Elder Brother Zhuo disappeared from his spot instantly, without any chance to resist — everything was exceptionally smooth and natural.

Inside the bathhouse, all the prodigies watched in alarm; suppressing an Earth Immortal Realm expert with one move, this guy must have broken through to a brand new realm. How much time had passed? His progress was incredibly fast!

“Damn it, dare to create trouble in my shop, suppress them all in the latrine!”

“What are you looking at? The support standing up for you is gone. You can go back to the latrine now. Poop Scoopers just need to learn how to efficiently scoop poop, dreaming of enjoying the good life during broad daylight? Have you all finished scooping yet? Get moving and work now,”

Li Xiaobai surveyed the crowd and spoke lightly.

“We understand, we’ll head back now.”

Wu Mengyao actually felt relieved inside. This was their usual style of handling things. The more they were treated this way, it meant the less the other party had designs on them, unlike Elder Brother Zhuo, who always needed to be watched vigilantly and guarded against.

Somehow, working in the latrine now gave them a sense of stability in their hearts.

“And you, are you…Senior Wu?”

As everyone stood up, one person still sat firmly in place, unmoved. Li Xiaobai frowned, but as his gaze fell on the woman in the corner wearing the magnificent skirt, his body involuntarily trembled, and he couldn’t help but take a cold breath.

When had this thing arrived?

He was all too familiar with those deep blue eyes. When he first entered Sword Sect’s trial area, it was this woman who chased him, freezing a whole minor world with just an umbrella, truly drastic measures. He hadn’t expected her to suddenly appear in his bathhouse today, almost like a damn dream.

“Senior Wu?”

“What wind has blown you here?”
