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

Chapter 484: Chapter 485: Outwitting an Uncle by Strength
It wasn’t until this moment that Li Xiaobai realized he had inadvertently released a monstrous being.

An entity from the era of the Old Dragon King, a Half-step Human Immortal, was indeed a formidable enemy.

Liuren did not show any reaction, originally thinking that once the Sea Clan cultivator took his position, he would immediately cause trouble, but looking at the recent movements of the Sea Clan, there weren’t too many abnormalities; it seemed that the cultivator was lying low.

“Clang!”

As the two of them were pondering, the hull suddenly shook violently. Liuren instinctively released his overwhelming aura, and his eyes shot a piercing light toward the approaching “enemy.”

This was a ship, a merchant ship. It was adorned with dragons and exquisite designs and was several times larger than a warship. At this moment, it was bearing down on them from a higher position, about to collide with their warship.

Upon seeing the cultivators standing on the warship, Li Xiaobai smiled; it was none other than Situ Renjie, whom he had encountered earlier.

Being bold enough to ram his ship, he must have found some backing and could not wait to come for retaliation.

However, it was a pity that this group was doomed to miscalculate; being targeted by Liuren was not something they could easily get away with.

“What are you doing?”

Liuren’s expression was cold. On her own turf in the Eastern Sea, someone actually dared to ram her ship; did they have a death wish?

Confronted with those golden eyes, Situ Renjie shivered, but quickly regained his composure. He was just a member of a family, with no opportunity to interact with the three Leaders of Aolai Country at this level.

Now that he had a clear view of Liuren, he was moved; her features were delicate and flawless, she had a valiant spirit, and she exuded an extraordinary air. Between her brows, there was the heroism of the battlefield. Could there be such a captivating being in the world?

Although Zong Yao was cute and pure, compared to the woman before him, she was worlds apart.

In just an instant, he set his mind on having this woman by any means necessary.

Turning his head, he shouted to the person behind him, “Uncle Ying, it was this brat who bullied me. Please take action, Uncle Ying, and capture this pair of dogs, this man and woman. I’ll take them back to our clan for disposal!”

Li Xiaobai had a strange expression on his face, admiring his courage for saying such a thing in front of the Vice Leader.

“Is this the man, Li Xiaobai? He’s just a junior, no matter how talented. Uncle Ying has always loved nothing more than crushing geniuses!”

A dark shadow appeared at the bow of the ship. With a flicker, he swept up Situ Renjie and in an instant, they both appeared on the warship.

Uncle Ying looked indifferent. He had heard about the incident; someone dared to insult a Situ Household cultivator in front of everyone, which was a disgrace to the family. If he couldn’t immediately dispose of the other party, the Situ Household’s reputation and prestige would be completely lost.

He had already decided; the younger generation can play their games as they wish, he was only responsible for crippling the cultivation levels of the two people on the ship and taking them back to the clan.

His gaze shifted slightly, surveying the two people in front of him, but the moment he locked eyes with Liuren, Uncle Ying’s body trembled violently. In an instant, a jolt of electric sensation swept over his whole body as he looked at the smiling, delicate face, and a chill uncontrollably surged from the bottom of his heart.

The junior might not recognize her, but he was all too clear.

This is the damn Vice Leader of the Eastern Sea’s Aolai Country!

What did his nephew just say?

He seemed to have taken a liking to the Vice Leader?

And he wanted him to take action and capture her and bring her back to the clan?

Cold sweat ran down instantly; this was setting him up big time!

He had never seen such a foolish and reckless thing, not only ignorant but also disrespectful toward the Vice Leader. Do you know you are walking a narrow path?

If they enraged this true god of the Eastern Sea, not even ten Situ Households would be enough to withstand a single blow from her.

“Li Xiaobai, you didn’t expect that we would meet again so soon, did you? Do you think you can leave unscathed?”

“How dare you publicly humiliate me; I must make you realize the power of my Situ Household!”

“And you, young lady, if you are willing to come over to this young master right now, I might consider cherishing you dearly.”

Situ Renjie didn’t notice the somewhat ashen face of Uncle Ying as he continued to speak, full of self-satisfaction.

In his view, with Uncle Ying present, these two were already like fish on the chopping board, at his mercy, especially the stunningly beautiful female cultivator, brimming with wild power, which evoked a desire to conquer in him.

In Situ Renjie’s heart, he had already begun to fantasize about her coquettish cries in his mansion, and for a moment, his thoughts ran wild.

Li Xiaobai was rendered speechless, having initially thought this guy was just a rich second generation waiting for his demise, never expecting him to actually have the power to trap an uncle.

How dare he speak such vile words to Liuren, has he not seen the expression on Uncle Ying’s face?

At this moment, Liuren’s expression had also darkened, being flirted with by a junior was indeed a first since the dawn of time, and it seemed that certain forces within the Eastern Sea were growing restive and starting to act with less decorum.

“Ahem, Brother Situ, do you seem to have us all figured out?”

Li Xiaobai cleared his throat twice and spoke out.

“Hehe, of course, you might not know this, but my Uncle Ying is a cultivator of the Mahayana Realm, with a cultivation level deep and unfathomable. Even if you are a genius, in front of a true powerhouse, you can only surrender obediently!”

Situ Renjie’s eyes were filled with a mocking look, cultivators of the Mahayana Realm were not ones you could come across easily, and even a genius like Li Xiaobai would be helpless in front of such a powerful figure.

“A true powerhouse?”

Li Xiaobai had a strange expression as he glanced at Uncle Ying, whose entire body was now drenched in sweat.

He was beginning to regret following his nephew here; this guy was dancing in a minefield without a care, and he hadn’t even spoken yet before he had thoroughly offended the Vice Leader of the Eastern Sea.

Uncle Ying was extremely afraid, his entire focus on Liuren, fearful of being swatted dead for any sign of displeasure.

“Indeed, a true powerhouse. Uncle Ying, please take these two into custody!”

“After we return, I will surely report to the Family Head and seek credit for Uncle Ying!”

Situ Renjie turned and respectfully spoke to Uncle Ying.

There was no response.

Situ Renjie found this odd and bowed again, “I implore you, Uncle Ying, please make a move!”

Still, there was no response.

“Uncle Ying?”

“What’s the matter?”

Situ Renjie looked up in confusion at Uncle Ying and asked, suddenly noticing that there was a lot of sweat on his uncle’s face.

“Shut up, beast!”

“Lounging around all day, not doing anything productive, with such thoughts better spent on cultivating. And Young Master Li is someone you can teach a lesson to?”

Uncle Ying suddenly erupted in fury, furiously kicking him away.

“Cough cough, Uncle Ying, what is this…”

Situ Renjie’s mouth cornered with blood, his face full of disbelief as he stared at Uncle Ying, shocked that his own uncle had struck him for an outsider?

However, Uncle Ying’s next words sent a chill down his spine.

“I’m sorry, Vice Leader, it’s my Situ family has fallen short in disciplining him, I will make sure to teach this beast a lesson when we return. Please, Vice Leader, calm your anger!”
