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

Chapter 791: Chapter 792: I Might Not Be Human, But You Are a Real Dog
 

As soon as the words were uttered, a fierce wind howled through the area, and Chen Yuan and the others felt an immense suction force pulling them forward, their expressions filled with shock.

“What’s going on?”

“That woman definitely has a problem, someone is targeting us from the shadows!”

“It’s that damn chicken causing trouble, fuck, the four great villains are lying in wait for us, the cultivators ahead must have already suffered at their hands!”

“I didn’t expect this guy to strike first, wanting to catch all cultivators in one fell swoop, utterly heartless and insane. Hurry and get out of this area!”

In their eyes flashed a terrified expression. They were horrified to discover that they couldn’t escape the terrifying power emanating from the small gourd, even with their Human Immortal Realm cultivation level. Their bodies were being dragged inch by inch toward the location of the small yellow chicken.

“Bastards, we are reservists from Sword Sect, bona fide Inner Sect Disciple level. How dare you touch me—have you considered the consequences?”

“You actually dare to wait in ambush near the entrance to kill trial cultivators. If Sword Sect finds out, you only have one way out—death!”

“If you know what’s good for you, let me go now. I might consider being lenient in your punishment!”

Chen Yuan roared furiously, while Yan Xiao and the others had already turned pale. They remembered the fear of being dominated by Li Xiaobai back in the day. However, this time they were not so lucky; no matter how they struggled, it was all in vain. They didn’t have a chance to escape before being sucked into the gourd and disappearing without a trace.

“Fuck, this woman is so stupid, the act is full of holes. That was a close call—she almost ruined our plan!”

“Why not just take her out too? She’s plotting something anyway, keeping her around is a curse!”

The small yellow chicken cursed as it plugged the mouth of the gourd, its face showing annoyance. The simple question and answer session was full of flaws. Fortunately, it acted in time, otherwise, they could have really escaped. The woman was too dumb for her own good, thinking she could frame them.

“All the Human Immortals are in our hands, with no rivals left, entering Sword Sect is a certainty.”

Ergouzi said lazily. This trial was just too easy—wipe out all the rivals in one fell swoop and just wait a week to advance.

“Don’t rush, we will need her later.”

“Let’s go find some Demonic Beasts.”

Li Xiaobai stopped the small yellow chicken’s actions. If this chicken killed again, it would directly breach one hundred thousand Sin Value and make it onto the List of Villains, likely drawing the punishment of even stronger adversaries.

The group proceeded cautiously into the jungle, avoiding any signs of Earth Immortal Realm experts and steering clear of them.

They found an open area with a clear field of vision, surrounded by Human Immortal Realm Demonic Beasts which posed little threat.

The small yellow chicken shook the Purple Gold Gourd and tossed out Zhen Jian.

Zhen Jian was already battered and bruised, her body full of contusions, and plenty of wounds made her appearance extremely wretched. Without asking, it was evident she was taken out her frustrations by Chen Yuan and the others inside the Purple Gold Gourd.

Seeing her pitiful state, she must have just been beaten.

“Young Master Li, you finally remembered me. Those people in the gourd just now were threatening to harm you once they get out. In my opinion, we should deal with them sooner rather than later, otherwise, if Elder Chen finds out later, we’ll only have death to look forward to!”

Zhen Jian spoke with a frightened look on her bruised face, realizing that the others had already memorized her appearance.

If, in the future, Li Xiaobai turned Chen Yuan over to Sword Sect, they would surely seek revenge on her. Rather than being held accountable later, it would be better to take the initiative and get rid of them first.

At that moment, she felt extremely troubled. Initially, she just wanted to seize the opportunity to get close to Li Xiaobai and then attract the high-ranking Enforcement Team to sanction him, allowing her to profit in the process. But she didn’t expect so many mishaps along the way; it was one accident after another.

Now, she was forced to stand against Sword Sect, having offended its upper echelons; it would be very difficult for her to maintain her standing within the sect.

“Don’t worry, I have a clear understanding of the situation. Miss Zhen, you are on our side. There’s no need for concern. In the future, if anyone bullies you, we, the four great villains, will be the first to refuse!”

Li Xiaobai said with a smile.

“Young Master, I fucking thank you!”

Zhen Jian was on the verge of tears. She really had boarded a thief’s ship, and it was the kind that she couldn’t disembark from. Who was outsmarting whom, exactly? It was clear that she was the one secretly scheming, so why did she feel like she was being led by the nose?

“Hehe, no need to thank me. We’re short on time, so let’s get to it, shall we? Would you mind lying down on that clearing over there, and don’t move.”

Li Xiaobai pointed to the open space in front of them. Zhen Jian, with her bloodied and mangled body, was perfectly suited to lure the demonic beasts as bait.

“Hmm?”

“Didn’t we just capture all the Human Immortal Realm cultivators? Why put on an act? Could it be there are still some who slipped through the net?”

Zhen Jian asked, slightly puzzled, looking around; she felt that there shouldn’t be any other cultivators in the vicinity.

“It’s true that I’ve captured all the Human Immortal Realm cultivators, but we haven’t killed a single demonic beast yet. There are quite a few Human Immortal Realm demonic beasts lurking around here, and you look very delicious now, making you perfect for drawing out the demonic beasts,” Li Xiaobai patiently explained.

Her face turned deathly pale in an instant, her pupils trembled, and her lips lost all color.

Being used as bait for demonic beasts?

This was a hundred times more dangerous than luring cultivators. Cultivators might lust after her beauty and be inclined to mercy, but demonic beasts couldn’t care less about what a beauty was; if discovered, she would certainly face a devastating attack.

He was asking for her life!

This demon head didn’t see her as a beauty at all. He was solely interested in squeezing out her remaining potential value.

“Young Master Li, this might be a bit inappropriate. I’m quite timid. Is there no other way?”

Zhen Jian forced a smile, squeezing out a stiff grin.

“There is no other way, Miss Zhen. I saved your life, and you said you would repay me. Don’t tell me you’re not willing to do even this small favor?”

“It seems your feelings have grown cold. Apparently, those cries for help earlier were nothing but child’s play to you.”

“If you’re not willing, I won’t force you. You may leave on your own, but just remember, next time I won’t come to your rescue,” Li Xiaobai said, his expression darkening.

“I… I’ll do it!”

Zhen Jian was so angry she felt like her lungs would explode, but she still nodded, clenching her teeth as she lay down in the middle of the road, becoming a succulent piece of flesh.

After all the trouble she had gone to reach this point, she didn’t want to fail halfway. The Enforcement Team would be arriving soon, and as long as Li Xiaobai died, her reward would be substantial.

Moreover, if she left now, she would face certain death should she encounter Chen Yuan in the Sword Sect another day. She had to ensure that the cultivators inside the Purple Gold Gourd were all dead!

Li Xiaobai nodded: “Mhm, very good, keep it up. I’m rooting for you!”

Ergouzi earnestly suggested, “When the time comes, you might want to let the demonic beasts bite you a couple more times on purpose. That way, the Blood Qi can spread farther. The beasts really fancy that sort of thing.”

Zhen Jian: “…”

Letting the beasts bite a couple more times on purpose?

Is that something a human would say?

I might not be human, but you’re really a dog!
