I Don t Want to Get Hurt, So I ll Max Out My Defense - Chapter 702

Chapter 702: Chapter 703: White Jade Toad
Li Xiaobai’s massive heart thumped wildly behind him, its bloody, hideous, and alluring color emitting a strange glow.

Tentacles covered in bloodied bones and flesh dripped down with a plopping sound.

Compared to the scene akin to a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood before him, the illusionary realm created by ‘Ferocious’ previously was childishly simple and not worth mentioning at all.

“Take it away, take it away!”

“You’re actually bullying a little kid!”

“Uncle baby realizes his mistake, please quickly take this Divine Skill away!”

“Baby’s skin is tender and not tasty, wait for baby to grow up before you come to eat!”

‘Ferocious’ collapsed to the ground and burst into loud wailing tears, the blood-colored, frightening tentacles on the surrounding walls terrifying her. This was no illusion; that heart was definitely real, very sinister, and in her eyes, Li Xiaobai had become a demon that eats children alive.

The blood-colored tentacles before her, the throbbing Heart of the Blood Demon, all stirred her nerves.

“Uh…”

Li Xiaobai was speechless. He hadn’t even done anything yet, and the little girl burst into tears, seemingly revealing that her fierce demeanor was all a facade and she was not as tough as she seemed.

With no choice, he put away the Heart of the Blood Demon and asked ‘Ferocious,’ “So you are ‘Ferocious.’ Do you have a name?”

“You scared baby to death!”

“Baby’s name is ‘Ferocious,’ given by the Old Dragon King.”

‘Ferocious’ patted her little chest, her pale face regaining a touch of rosiness, looking as if she had just survived a great horror.

“Why are you eating Demonic Beasts alive in this place?”

Li Xiaobai asked.

Fear was deeply embedded in ‘Ferocious”s eyes as she cautiously said, “Uncle, though baby’s appetite is small, baby still needs to eat meat.”

Small appetite, my foot!

Li Xiaobai had veins popping out on his forehead. The ground was littered with Demonic Beast limbs and remains nonstop, and she calls that a small appetite?

But he didn’t dwell on it and continued to ask, “What kind of creature are you that you need to eat Demonic Beasts alive? Why didn’t you just ask the warden to bring you cooked food?”

“What is cooked food? Baby always eats directly. Yang Tian said that eating this way prevents the loss of Spiritual Power contained in the flesh and is good for the teeth.”

‘Ferocious’ looked puzzled, clearly not understanding what cooked food meant.

However, she soon stood up proudly, her face full of arrogance as she said:

“Baby is a Sky Devouring Beast from the Moonlight Clan, tracing back to the Upper Realm, where my ancestors resided upon the moon, a very impressive figure!”

“Baby will surely be a remarkable figure that will be known everywhere one day. Uncle, if you let me go today, in a hundred years, baby will definitely protect you!”

‘Ferocious’ patted her chest, adopting an air of taking everything upon herself, with a prematurely aged tone.

Li Xiaobai was at a loss for words. Good for teeth, my foot! That warden Yang Tian looked refined and cultured, who would have thought he was a dark horse?

That guy clearly found cooking too troublesome, which was why he threw Demonic Beast corpses straight in here.

However, based on what she said, he also understood the gist of her background. A Demonic Beast that could live on the moon was by no means ordinary, considering that there were legends of the Three-legged Golden Crow on the sun. Though he hadn’t heard of the Sky Devouring Beast, it likely belonged to a species of similar renown.

Her Bloodline Power actually originated from the Upper Realm, and devouring the flesh of Demonic Beasts was probably mainly for absorbing the Spiritual Power remaining within their flesh.

But the Spiritual Power obtained from consuming corpses was too diluted, and due to her large appetite, she had to continuously eat flesh.

“Sky Devouring Beast?”

The name seemed to imply a formidable Demonic Beast, but from the way this little guy spoke about it, somehow it just didn’t ring true.

“So tell me, what’s so special about this Sky Devouring Beast?”

“With my clan’s divine skill perfected, a single bite can devour the sky, nothing in the world can’t be swallowed!”

‘Ferocious’ pointed one hand to the sky and one to the ground, boasting an air of unrivaled supremacy both above and below the heavens.

“Show me your true form, Uncle wants to have a look.”

Li Xiaobai spoke indifferently.

“That wouldn’t be very good, the Sky Devouring Beast by nature is exceptionally valiant and extraordinary. Revealing my true form might scare you, Uncle.”

Upon hearing that he needed to reveal his true form, ‘Ferocious’ suddenly started to act bashful.

“Stop dragging your feet. My patience is limited. Quickly turn into your true form, or else I’ll directly dry you into a mummy.”

Li Xiaobai spoke faintly, his eyes revealing a hint of bloodlust, with a blood-drenched heart faintly appearing behind him.

“Don’t, don’t kill me!”

In an instant, ‘Ferocious’ had his hair standing on end, screaming in alarm as his body twisted rapidly to reveal his true form.

As the dust settled, a gigantic creature appeared before him—a Demonic Beast in the shape of a toad, completely white like White Jade and glowing, with a faint frost Qi wafting around, sending a shiver of cold down one’s spine.

Li Xiaobai’s temples throbbed, and his face darkened even more. This creature was simply a toad, looking from every angle just like a toad, a cold-natured White Jade Toad at that.

Where was the promised martial prowess ‘Ferocious’ had spoken of?

Still calling itself a Sky Devouring Beast?

This thing was really unreliable!

“Heh, so it’s just a toad, off you go to play in the mud then. Uncle’s heading to the fifth floor.”

Seeing its true form, Li Xiaobai’s eyes flashed with disappointment, losing interest in it and turning to leave.

“Damn it, this treasure is a Sky Devouring Beast!”

“How could the descendant of the Moonlight Clan be compared with a vulgar thing like a toad!”

Upon hearing this, ‘Ferocious’ exploded in anger like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, bristling with rage.

She knew her appearance wasn’t appealing, but she believed in her powerful bloodline, convinced she was a descendant of a bloodline that had fallen from the Upper Realm.

After a moment of thought, Li Xiaobai flicked his wrist, pulling out a pack of Huazi to ‘Ferocious’, “Smoke this, then you won’t need to eat raw flesh every day.”

‘Ferocious’ looked confused, took out a Huazi, and mimicked Li Xiaobai by placing it in her mouth and lighting it, puffing smoke like a chimney. Then her pupils shrank suddenly, her face rapidly flushing with disbelief.

“What is this!”

“It can actually enhance my intelligence. After one stick, the legacy in my mind became clearer!”

“Damn, Uncle, you actually have such a divine object, this treasure really won’t need to consume raw flesh from now on!”

‘Ferocious’ was invigorated, her eyes brimming with excitement.

“Cultivate well, be a civilized and cultured toad. Stop this barbaric behavior of eating raw flesh, and next time let Yang Tian prepare some cooked food for you to enjoy.”

Li Xiaobai chuckled, then turned and headed towards the fifth floor. He had confirmed there was no Blood Sacrifice Fragment on this level, nothing worth lingering for.

‘Ferocious’ was taken aback for a moment, then started to rant and curse furiously again, wanting to regain her dignity but held back, utterly subdued by the mix of sugar-coated bullets, unable to harbor any thoughts of resistance towards Li Xiaobai.
