I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 988 - 989: Don’t be nervous, its just my pet coming back

Chapter 988: Chapter 989: Don’t be nervous, it’s just my pet coming back

“Huh? Who is the baby brawling with?”

Li Xiaobai furrowed his brows, the children had started fighting already despite just a short period of not watching them, which was somewhat troublesome.

“Who else could it be besides those hundred children?”

Ji Wuqing said with a twisted mouth, showing a manner of indifference.

“Did you get involved?”

Li Xiaobai grabbed Ji Wuqing and started walking toward the Sect Main Hall.

...

Ji Wuqing disdainfully said, “What status do I possess, how could I stoop to the level of brawling with a bunch of older children?”

“What about the footprints on you then?”

Li Xiaobai said with a half-smile, noting several dusty little footprints clearly stamped on the little yellow fellow, obviously trampled by children.

“I was just blocking the damage for the baby, safety has always been my top priority!”

Ji Wuqing said with a lack of confidence.

Inside the hall.

Li Xiaobai’s expression was very dark.

Feathers littered the hall floor, the baby was rolling on the ground, tangled up with the few remaining children, while the rest of the children had fallen to the ground, beaten black and blue.

“Is this what you meant by not stooping to the level of children?”

“Since when did you start bullying children too? Where’s your face?”

Li Xiaobai asked.

“It was all the baby who made me do it, I really didn’t want to, he forced me!”

Ji Wuqing asserted righteously.

He certainly wouldn’t admit that just earlier, he was rampaging together with the baby, that feeling of a high-level boss mistakenly entering Novice Village and embarking on an unbeatable massacre was truly addictive!

“Is that so?”

Li Xiaobai looked at the baby, who by then had subdued a few children on the ground in the center of the hall, establishing his absolute dominance.

It was evident, after a few rampages, a deep fear of the baby had risen in the hearts of the surrounding children. They retreated and dared not approach, no one dared to challenge him anymore.

“Yiyiyaya!” The baby gestured.

“What did he say?”

Li Xiaobai asked Ji Wuqing.

Ji Wuqing translated, “You break my wings, I’ll destroy your paradise!”

Li Xiaobai’s expression turned ominously dark: “Did you teach him that?”

“Of course not, this kid figured it out on his own!”

“Why did you beat them?”

Li Xiaobai continued to ask.

The baby continued to gesture.

Ji Wuqing translated from the side, “Earlier, when you were massacring all over Central Province, more than half of the children experienced various reactions, some even underwent transformations, and with battle intent surging and Demonic Flame soaring, their extreme excitement caused them to clash. The baby joined in later.”

Many children had radiated lights of various colors, especially the ten who had previously manifested golden battle intent. When Godzilla appeared, their golden battle intent solidified further, like little gods of war born for battle, suppressing the other children around. However, they had no effect on the baby who quickly knocked them down.

“Has the baby had any realizations?” Li Xiaobai asked.

“None, from all aspects, this baby apart from being able to block the impact of power, seems no different from ordinary people.”

Ji Wuqing stated, the baby could block intangible forces like battle intent and immortal qi, eliminating these special abilities meant that they were just ordinary children fighting.

“From now on, no more beating them up. You’re the boss, you should be covering for them, understand?”

Li Xiaobai lightly puffed on a cigarette, speaking indifferently.

“Yiyiyaya!”

The baby continued to gesture.

Ji Wuqing timely said, “In the streets, we value righteousness, and I, Ma Niubi, value it the most.”

“Ah, as long as you’re happy.”

Li Xiaobai suddenly fell silent, already pondering whether he should entrust the baby to someone else’s care. It hadn’t been a few hours following Ji Wuqing and he was already spouting all sorts of slick talk.

However, after thinking it over, there seemed to be no better candidate than Ji Wuqing. If the matter was entrusted to Ergouzi or the Sixth Brother, wouldn’t it be utterly spoiled?

“Never mind, we’ll talk about it later.”

…

Half an hour later.

In the Sect Master Hall of the Three Sects.

Li Xiaobai sat at the top seat, with a hundred children properly seated below him, their large eyes looking around curiously.

“Master, the Three Sects’ Ancestors are requesting an audience outside the hall.”

Fu Tiantian came in and reported.

Li Xiaobai nodded, “Let them in.”

“Reporting to Young Master Li, the various forces of Central Province have arrived. Apart from the local sects, cultivators from the Central Origin Realm stationed across various sects have also come together, wishing to pay their respects to the Young Master. Whether to receive them or not, please decide, Young Master!”

The Elders were very polite, not daring to overstep in the slightest, and respectfully asked for instructions.

“Let them in.”

Li Xiaobai spoke indifferently.

“Yes!”

Several people exited, and moments later, a large group of cultivators slowly stepped into the hall.

“Central Province’s Fire Qilin Cave is here to pay respect to Young Master Li!”

“Central Province’s Treasure Pavilion is here to pay respect to Young Master Li!”

“Central Province’s Tyrant Sword Sect is here to pay respect to Young Master Li!”

“Central Province’s Shui Yun Sect is here to pay respect to Young Master Li!”

“Central Province…”

The cultivators announced their sects one by one, their expressions respectful and solemn, not daring to show any disrespect. They had all heard about the man who first executed King Weiwu, then Master Tianxuan, and had now exterminated the Blood Demon Sect — a veritable god of slaughter reborn. As local cultivators, they had already submitted and willingly accepted being hawks and dogs; in their hearts, they had no confidence, and they certainly did not dare to challenge this ruthless man.

“Very good, you are all very punctual.”

Li Xiaobai nodded his head and looking towards the crowd at the center, he asked, “You are cultivators from the Central Origin Realm? Where are you all from?”

“I am Wang Wu, an Outer Sect Disciple of the Blood Demon Sect!”

“I am Bai Ling, an Inner Sect Disciple of the Hundred Flowers Sect, with Earth Immortal Realm cultivation level, under Elder Bai Que’s tutelage. I hope Young Master Li can do us the favor of looking out for my master’s face!”

“I am Lian Yunfeng, an Inner Sect Disciple of the Five Poison Cult, fortunate enough to have united with the pride of the Earth Spirit Realm, a great honor!”

“…”

These young talents, all from Central Province, held a pride of their own, deep in their hearts. Even though the downfall of the Blood Demon Sect was right before their eyes, deep down they still didn’t believe Li Xiaobai would dare to touch them.

After all, they all came from the top super sects; these people, when gathered together, formed a force no one could provoke.

“Since coming from the Lower Realm to the Central Origin Realm, cultivators have been causing chaos everywhere, treating our fellows like swine, and the common people are living in misery, barely surviving. This causality, how do you plan to bear it?”

Li Xiaobai got straight to the point and asked lightly.

“Young Master Li, forgive my frankness, but all this was done by the Blood Demon Sect, and it’s not really related to us. We represent the major super sects here to select suitable disciples to take back to the Central Origin Realm for cultivation, without overstepping our bounds.”

“Moreover, the beings of the Earth Spirit Realm are naturally rough and lowly. There are always some of low moral character who provoke the Central Origin Realm without reason, and naturally, they need to be taught a minor lesson.”

“In the future, in the Central Origin Realm, there will be plenty of opportunities for us to cooperate. There’s no need to make our relationship so rigid. Young Master, if you encounter any difficulties, feel free to speak up directly, and we will certainly provide powerful assistance!”

A group of young talents spoke with faint smiles.

A few Elders shook their heads subtly—these young heirs had not yet grasped the gravity of the situation, still spouting nonsense, ignoring danger zones, and believing relationships would be useful; if truly useful, Li Xiaobai wouldn’t have traveled all the way from the Northern Region to Central Province.

“Young Master Li, I am a direct Disciple of the Thousand Demon Sect, if there’s any need for demonic beasts in the future while you are in the Central Origin Realm, you can always find me for the lowest market price!”

A rather fat young man said gleefully, acting all familiar.

Li Xiaobai remained silent, not speaking, but at that moment, the ground suddenly started trembling, with a thunderous rumble that made the hall tremble.

“Roar!”

Loud roaring and howling filled the entire sect, the immense pressure making it hard for everyone to breathe.

“What demonic beast is this? Just its roar alone possesses such power; what realm could this be? Since when did such beings exist in the Earth Spirit Realm!”

The chubby young man looked shocked and disbelieving.

Li Xiaobai stood up and said lightly, “Don’t worry, it’s just my pet returning.”
