I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense - Chapter 637

Chapter 637: Chapter 638: Grandson of the Turtle
The Old Dragon King slowly said, using a special method to detect what was on their minds was a strategy he had prepared early on. By using a Formation, he could expose the thoughts of the two individuals to everyone present, allowing the civil and military officials to discern and make a quick judgement, thus saving him the trouble of having to persuade anyone.

“This humble official sees no problem and believes that Li Xiaobai will certainly pass the trials and become the son-in-law of our Eastern Sea Dragon Palace!”

General Long was the first to take a stance, with such a fair method of competition, he was a hundred percent certain that Li Xiaobai would win.

That grandson of the Tortoise Prime Minister was nothing more than a pampered waste, dreaming of climbing up to Long Xue’s high branch was simply a fool’s fantasy.

Mud after all cannot be supported on the wall, it’s laughable that the old tortoise still keeps pushing his grandson forward, without even taking a look in the mirror.

“Cough cough, since that is the case, this old official has no objections either. Fair competition, let the little princess make her own choice.”

The Tortoise Prime Minister coughed twice, also agreeing to the Old Dragon King’s method.

“Are there any among the loved subjects whose offspring are interested in my granddaughter? Now is the time to speak up, and then they can compete fairly through the Formation.”

The Old Dragon King’s gaze shifted, looking toward the civil and military officials with a smile as he spoke.

“Yes, indeed, if any of you have younger generations interested in the little princess, don’t hesitate to speak up now. Don’t hide or hold back.”

The Tortoise Prime Minister turned his head to look at the crowd, smiling. However, the fleeting murderous intent in his eyes made all the officials take a step back, none daring to raise an eyebrow at this time.

Furthermore, considering the nature of the Tortoise Prime Minister, he must have his heart set on his grandson filling the position. If these comrades dared to meddle, they might not live to tell the tale.

“Haha, this official believes the little princess and the Tortoise Prime Minister’s grandson are a match made in heaven, we should not interfere in this matter.”

“Indeed, indeed, the younger generation of our families are not competitive enough; we won’t come out and embarrass ourselves.”

“Let’s just peacefully watch the competition between two young talents. With the Sea Clan’s little princess attracting such prodigies to compete, it’s indeed a wonderful tale!”

“Regardless, the Sea Clan’s son-in-law will soon come into being, congratulations to the great king in advance!”

The civil and military officials quickly bowed down, beads of cold sweat forming on their foreheads.

This Old Dragon King seemed amiable on the surface, but in reality, he had given them a death sentence. If anyone foolishly agreed to push their offspring forward, that would be truly digging a grave for their sons.

“Hehe, since all loved subjects have no objections, then it’s settled. Tortoise Prime Minister, send someone to bring Li Xiaobai over later, I will first see his attitude.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Additionally, General Long, go and bring your brother out as well. He has suffered enough in the dungeons over these years, enough to atone for his past faults. Just now, the Sea Clan’s reputation was damaged, and he was the only one who fought desperately with Li Xiaobai. This alone proves his loyalty to the Sea Clan,” the Old Dragon King said.

“Understood!”

“Thank you, great king!”

“This humble official will go and attend to it immediately!”

General Long’s face lit up with joy; he hadn’t expected that his brother, who had suffered so much, would one day be released.

He and Long Tian were both sons of the Old Dragon King. Previously, when the Tortoise Prime Minister advised taking action against the disciple of the human race, Long Tian strongly dissuaded him, leading to the Old Dragon King’s wrath and a lifetime in the dungeons.

Later, when the Sea Clan was utterly subdued by the Vice Leader of the Eastern Sea, they gave up on encroaching upon human territory, but Long Tian’s plight was neglected and forgotten, and twenty years passed just like that.

It was unexpected that today brought the opportunity for a reunion of brothers, truly a joyous occasion!

Elsewhere.

Within the dungeon.

Li Xiaobai had returned to Dao Zu’s chamber, and he had already sent his followers out to collect Luminous Pearls. Once they returned, he would have more than two hundred thousand Luminous Pearls in his hands.

“My lord, if there is anything else you need, just command me, and I will do my utmost as long as it is within my power!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Within the dungeon, Dao Zu spoke in a fawning tone, having thoroughly understood that the person before him was truly divine.

In the span of a mere quarter of an hour, he had completely swept through the entire prison, subduing all the major figures including Long Tian himself, establishing unparalleled dominance—a feat never before witnessed within the confines of the dungeon.

He grew increasingly convinced that by following this individual, not only would escaping the insignificant dungeon be possible but even ruling over a domain and establishing a lineage might not be out of the question.

“Hmm, no need, just keep watch outside.”

Li Xiaobai waved his hand dismissively and spoke indifferently, pondering his next move. If the Old Dragon King delayed further communication, then he would have to start contemplating a jailbreak.

He checked the System, and after surpassing ten million, the Attribute Points earned were still effective and had accumulated without disappearing.

[Host: Li Xiaobai]

[…]

[Defensive Power: Half-step Human Immortal Body (10,015,000/10,000,000) (Immortal Spirit Qi: Not Acquired) Upgradeable.]

With an overflow of fifteen thousand Attribute Points, Li Xiaobai was reassured; it would truly be a significant loss if Attribute Points ceased to increase upon taking damage once the defensive power was maxed out. He had no idea how many Attribute Points would be needed for the next stage of defensive power, but he expected the number to be astronomically high.

Just as Li Xiaobai was reviewing the gains from the recent period, a knock suddenly came from the door.

“My lord, the Attendant of the Tortoise Prime Minister seeks an audience!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Dao Zu’s voice came from outside.

“The Attendant of the Tortoise Prime Minister?”

“Let him in.”

Li Xiaobai felt a bit puzzled; he didn’t know any Tortoise Prime Minister. Could it be that the visitor was here to deliver a message from the Old Dragon King?

The person who stepped through the door was a woman, clad in a plain gown with a swaying snake-like waist and a smile that was exceptionally seductive, and yet her eyes seemed to harbor an indescribable pride and contempt.

“So you are Li Xiaobai, the trash who intends to compete with my master for the little princess?” she asked disdainfully as she slightly opened her red lips.

“Shut your mouth, you wench! How dare you insult my lord? Do you have a death wish?”

From outside, Dao Zu was furiously angry and looked ready to barge in.

“Step back.”

Li Xiaobai gestured with his hand, stopping the other party’s action, and looked at the woman before him with displeasure, asking, “Who are you, and who is your master?”

“Hehe, I am the personal maid of the Tortoise Prime Minister, and naturally, my master is the grandson of the Tortoise Prime Minister,” she said.

“By the orders of the Dragon King, you are to visit the Imperial Palace’s grand hall. I truly do not understand how the king could take an interest in someone as lowly as you—a mere human race cultivator without a trace of Bloodline Power—fit to compete with my master?”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“My advice to you is to surrender and admit defeat as soon as possible, to avoid further embarrassment in front of others!” The coquettish woman said with a sneer, her eyes filled with scorn.

Li Xiaobai frowned, finding the sense of superiority emanating from the woman before him to be almost unbearably intense.

“So you’re just a bed-warming maid? I was wondering who she might be. So, the Old Dragon King wants me to compete with that ‘Tortoise grandson’ for Long Xue?”
