I Don t Want to Get Hurt, So I ll Max Out My Defense

Chapter 837: Chapter 838: Disciple of the Blade Sect
 

On the fourth floor of Xiuchun Residence, silence fell over the crowd, not only were Situ Baoqi and others dumbstruck, other cultivators paying attention to this table were also shocked into speechlessness.

What kind of people are at this table?

The last one wanted to eat dragon meat and drink Phoenix blood; this one is even more outrageous, actually wanting to eat human flesh, and only medium rare?

She was so ravishing and stunning, who would have thought she would have such peculiar tastes?

That icy demeanor didn’t look like she was joking at all, the more they listened, the more they believed it was true; perhaps this ice queen truly wanted to eat human flesh?

Uncle Youfu felt as if ten thousand alpacas were stampeding through his heart. Big sister, is this really something meant for humans to eat?

“Sister Wu really has a sense of humor. Uncle Youfu, let’s have a plate of mountain delicacies and bear’s paw to keep my junior sister forever young!”

Situ Baoqi broke the eerily quiet atmosphere, saying somewhat awkwardly.

“Understood, please wait a moment, it will be right up!”

Uncle Youfu nodded and was about to leave when his expression suddenly froze.

“Xiuchun Residence’s signature service is that whatever the customer orders, the host will make it. Since you cannot fulfill the request, you shouldn’t speak so grandly; be careful, or your tongue will slip in the strong wind and tarnish your own reputation.”

Wu Chengjue’s red lips parted slightly, speaking indifferently.

“You crazy woman are completely unreasonable!”

Uncle Youfu was infuriated.

“Xiuchun Residence can naturally make anything, but your requests are purely disruptive. Who would eat human flesh? If not for giving face to Young Master Situ, you two would have been swept out the door by now!”

“I’ll eat it, as long as you can make it, I’ll immediately offer up all the ingredients on this floor with both hands, how about that?”

Wu Chengjue spoke coolly, and the temperature in the air dropped suddenly, causing many cultivators to shiver as thoughts of retreat occupied their minds—it seemed this woman had come today especially to cause trouble, and if a fight started, they could end up as collateral damage.

“Are you looking for a fight?”

“Young Master Situ, don’t say I didn’t give you face. If this crazy woman continues her nonsense, I’m going to have to forcefully ask her to leave!”

Uncle Youfu’s face turned colder.

“I understand, I will control them. Please forgive us, Uncle Youfu,”

Situ Baoqi said with a smile, although he was burning with anger inside. He had only wanted to give Li Xiaobai a lesson in humility, but he hadn’t anticipated that neither of these two played by the rules, and that ice beauty seemed somewhat disturbed in her mind.

It seemed he had to reevaluate her.

“Ahem, these two are…?”

Shen Qinghe, sensing the tense atmosphere, quickly changed the subject. She had noticed the man and the woman early in the morning; her beauty couldn’t arouse even a trace of interest from the male disciple, and the woman was strikingly beautiful to the point of making all flowers look ashamed in her presence.

She had never heard of these two disciples being part of the Sword Sect before.

“Let me introduce them; this junior sister is named Wu Chengjue, a disciple brought by the Sect Master. I must admit, we are usually in closed cultivation and not quite familiar with her. Today is just the right opportunity to make up for past oversights and get to know the rising talents within our sect,”

“But this Junior Brother Li is different; you must have all heard his name, Li Xiaobai!”

Ouyang Baoqi said beaming.

“Li Xiaobai?”

“The monstrous genius who crushed Zhang Kuang and soared to the top of the Human Immortal Ranking List? He’s actually a disciple of the Sword Sect?”

Shen Qinghe covered her face in shock, not expecting that the genius from the rumors was actually a Sword Sect disciple and would also appear in this minor Secret Realm. Could it be that this Li Xiaobai will take the stage to exchange moves with disciples of the Blade Sect?

“Zhang Kuang is one of the top talents in the Central Origin Realm, how did you manage to do it?” Shen Qinghe asked, eyes wide with wonder.

“The Human Immortal Ranking List isn’t worth mentioning, a mere Zhang Kuang can be eliminated with a flick of my wrist, insignificant indeed.”

Li Xiaobai waved his hand, appearing completely unconcerned.

Shen Qinghe was speechless, giving full marks for the arrogance he was displaying.

“Well said, making it onto the Human Immortal Ranking List doesn’t really mean much, after all, those who truly possess talent wouldn’t remain there, like my Blade Sect disciples who wouldn’t suppress their cultivation level just for the sake of a mere ranking. They are mostly dedicated to their cultivation, bypassing the list altogether and directly stepping into the Earth Immortal Realm.”

An incongruous voice floated into everyone’s ears, belonging to a rugged cultivator at the table next door, surrounded by seven or eight cultivators, all wearing black short gowns, with a uniform dagger symbol on their chests, representing their sect.

Each of them carried a uniquely shaped saber on their backs, the largest of which was as tall as a man, and the smallest, the size of a Dagger.

“Haha, I was wondering why these soft persimmon sects had the guts to send disciples to play with us, it turns out they found the Sword Sect to back them up. It seems the number of souls under our sabers is about to increase.”

The burly men laughed loudly, clearly not taking the few seated before them seriously.

“Blade Sect disciples!”

Shen Qinghe frowned slightly, having no good feelings towards the people of the Blade Sect.

“A bunch of garbage that hasn’t even made the list has the audacity to bark here, who gave you the confidence?”

Li Xiaobai sipped his tea, speaking indifferently, his demeanor even more arrogant than theirs. He was out with a Grandmaster, who would be backing him up if anything went wrong.

“Just a mere Human Immortal Realm dares to challenge me?”

“Believe it or not I’ll cut off your tongue to accompany my drink?”

The rugged burly man became furious, his voice booming, causing the tabletop to tremble.

“Forget it, the world always has some who see themselves as geniuses, too proud to see their own limitations, mere frogs in a well. The difference between the three realms of Immortals is something they can’t comprehend. Whether it’s a dragon or a worm, one trial on the stage will reveal all.”

A young man beside him pressed his shoulder and spoke coldly.

“Junior Brother Li, apologize to the Blade Sect brothers.”

“Although we Sword Sect disciples are about to spar with the Blade Sect, our purpose is to meet through martial arts, how can we provoke others for no reason? Is this the etiquette taught by our Sword Sect?”

“Gentlemen, children speak without restraint; I implore you not to take this to heart.”

Situ Baoqi clasped his fists and smiled at the group from the Blade Sect, clearly pleased to see Li Xiaobai clashing with the disciples of the Blade Sect.

However, the arena is blind to the sharpness of blades and swords, and death or severe injury is not out of the question. He had to keep a backup plan for himself, unable to afford Li Xiaobai drawing hatred toward him. If the Blade Sect experts were to strike with lethal intent, he really wouldn’t be able to handle it.

“You’re quite the shrewd one, seeing the situation clearly. The outcome of the arena competition has been predetermined, and no one can take what the Blade Sect wants. This contest of the Sword Sect is merely a formality. Later, I will send a word to our subordinates, trying not to hurt your disciples. However, I can’t guarantee what will happen to this loose-tongued fellow.”

The rugged man’s lips curved into a cold smile, but the next second his expression froze, because at that moment, Li Xiaobai was not listening to him speaking, but was voraciously munching on a stack of tofu, enjoying it immensely.

“It’s really fitting that the masters of the Blade Sect took to the kitchen themselves. Look how perfectly this tofu is cut, truly the Blade Sect’s secret technique put to excellent use in cooking.”

“This is a Lower Grade Immortal Stone, reward the chef with it later, tell him the dish is very nice, I’m very satisfied.”
