I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 759: 760: Who the hell do you think you are?
Chapter 759 -760: Who the hell do you think you are?
[Host: Li Xiaobai.]

[Defensive Power: Human Immortal Body (50 million/100 million) can advance.]

Having fled all the way from the Immortal Spirit Continent to the Central Origin Realm and after traveling through the Demonic Beast mountain range, he had amassed a total of ten million attribute points, most of which were provided by the earlier King Weiwu.
Scattering his wealth to gain these ten million attribute points wasn’t such a bad deal, after all.
Without a question, all points go into defense!
[Defensive Power: Human Immortal Body (55 million/100 million) can advance.]
However, the progress of the two companions by his side wasn’t too impressive. Ergouzi needed to cultivate to gradually become stronger, which had to be done step by step, but Ji Wuqing was different, it could rapidly grow stronger with each death, so he would have to find an opportunity to arrange that later.
Ergouzi took out a scripture, imitating the cultivators’ demeanor, crossed his short little legs in meditation, with a solemn and respectful expression, pretending to be deeply pained and compassionate, and then began to murmur incantations.
“If the long night brings restlessness, and the mind is a whirl of thoughts, how to subdue them?”
Merit Value +1.
“Life is like a dream, an illusion, a dew drop, and also like lightning!”
Merit Value +1.
Golden light manifested, and the numbers above its head began to rapidly increase, soon the merit value rose to a hundred points.
Ji Wuqing watched with envy, unable to sit still and wandering around the bathhouse.
It found that the dwelling wasn’t very clean and tidy, at least it had not been inhabited for a long time. Not only was there dust on the walls, but there were also bugs living in it. Feeling rather downcast, it pecked and swallowed a small insect.
A flash of red, and a big “one” suddenly appeared above its head.
“I’ve got it, I’ve got it, I finally have one!”
“Cluck cluck, I understand now, killing bugs also increases Sin Value!”
Ji Wuqing immediately became excited and started pecking furiously at the wall, and its Sin Value quickly went from one to ten in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Ergouzi chanted even more vigorously, and his speaking speed unconsciously increased.
Li Xiaobai was taken aback. Could this really work?
Killing bugs actually increased one’s Sin Value?
He pinched an ant to death on the wall, but nothing happened. It looked like this was the effect of the evil elixirs in Ji Wuqing’s body.
Well, that’s fine. With the goal of increasing both Sin and Merit Values, these two could be kept busy for a while.
…
At this moment.
Elsewhere.
In the estate of the Seventh Prince, several cultivators were kneeling in the center of the main hall, reporting something to a young man seated in the high seat.
“Are you saying, the eighteenth brother stayed outside the city for several days, and when he came back, his personality had completely changed? Not only did he change his name, but he also killed Eunuch He in front of everyone?”
The young man’s eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes flickered with a cold light.
“Yes, these are all things I saw with my own eyes. At that time, many cultivators were present and witnessed the scene!”
“That Yan Liang is now very arrogant, not only styling himself as Yan Zhaotian but also engraving these three characters with Sword Qi on the streets for all the passersby to see!”
The cultivators below spoke righteously and indignantly.
“Do you know why he killed Eunuch He?”
The young man continued to inquire.
“He said that Eunuch He committed the crime of disrespecting his superiors, offending him, and thus deserved to be executed. So with a single sword strike, he beheaded Eunuch He.”
“He also said…”
“What else did he say?”
“Reporting to the Princely Heir, he also said that he and the Seventh Prince are as close as brothers, their bond stronger than gold, and he will never allow servants to sow discord!”
Several cultivators spoke up.
“Interesting. It seems our Eighteenth Brother has grown quite capable. With a Sin Value of 5,200, it looks like he hasn’t been shy about killing people outside!”
“To slay Eunuch He with a single sword strike, he must have a cultivation level of at least the Human Immortal Realm. Has he encountered some fortuitous event that allowed him to triumphantly return in strength, or has his previous weak demeanor all been an act of playing the pig to eat the tiger?”
“I underestimated him before. Tomorrow is the family banquet, a good opportunity to meet my Eighteenth Brother and see for myself!”
…
Inside the inner sanctums of the dynasty, within the mountain ranges, second layer.
This entire floor was alive with song and dance, with no other guests staying. It was reserved solely to host a distinguished guest, the Ninth Prince of the Great Flame Dynasty.
Beautiful women adorned in green and red added to the joyous atmosphere.
Within a certain private chamber, a servant hurriedly entered.
“Princely Heir, that lowlife Yan Liang has arrived. He’s staying on the first floor!”
“So he’s come. As his older brother, how could I kick him out when the Eighteenth Brother occasionally wishes to indulge in this luxurious residence?”
The Ninth Prince sipped his tea leisurely while enjoying the tenderness of a beauty in green behind him and spoke with nonchalance.
“But this lowly one has discovered that the wretch has opened four rooms and paid all at once for a month’s rent, amounting to no less than one hundred twenty Lower Grade Immortal Stones!”
The servant continued, conveying all the information he had gleaned from the foot-scratching thug.
Upon hearing this, the Ninth Prince’s expression gradually darkened.
“To spend one hundred twenty Lower Grade Spirit Stones so freely, he couldn’t earn such a salary in an entire year under normal circumstances. This affair is quite suspicious. Has the Eighteenth Brother possibly encountered some fortune after leaving the city these past few days?”
“Go, invite that wretch here. I want to see what sort of dumb luck he’s stumbled upon!”
The Ninth Prince waved his hand as he commanded.
“Yes!”
The servant immediately turned and, accompanied by several thugs, descended the stairs.
“Cuier, look, you’re about to meet your old flame again. Are you feeling a bit excited?”
The Ninth Prince teased as he caressed the gentle jade hand on his shoulder, smiling broadly.
“How could you say that, Princely Heir? It was that brute who tried to take advantage of me originally. I am truly grateful to the Princely Heir for rescuing me!”
Upon mentioning Yan Liang, a look of disgust flashed in the eyes of the beauty in green, followed by a hidden giggle.
“Hahaha!”
…
First floor.
Li Xiaobai was pondering his next move. As a member of the royal family, he should have considerable privileges and needed to find a way to learn the whereabouts of Long Xue and his senior brother and sister from within the Great Flame Dynasty.
While he was deep in thought, a terrifying wave of Immortal Yuan spread outside his residence, and suddenly the door was smashed and sent flying inwards.
Amidst the dust, several figures stepped in. The leading servant looked arrogantly down from above, surveying everything in the room.
“Eighteenth Prince, our Princely Heir requests your presence. Let’s go, shall we?”
“Woof! What the heck, that scared the crap out of me!” Ergouzi barked furiously.
“Kikiki, what the heck are you talking about, you’re the chicken, your whole family are chickens!” Ji Wuqing shrieked in alarm.
“As expected, after so long, the Eighteenth Prince has not changed, presenting such an uncouth and weak Demonic Beast. A lowly worm like you dares to offend me. There’s only one word for your fate: death. Today, this old servant will clean house on behalf of the Eighteenth Prince!”
The leading servant’s eyes bulged with rage as he cleaved a streak of Sword Qi from the air, targeting both Ergouzi and Ji Wuqing. At the critical moment, a hand interposed and crumbled the Sword Qi into dust.
Li Xiaobai stood up, his gaze haughty as he stared at the servant and spoke indifferently, “And who the hell are you?”
