I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense Chapter 1279

Chapter 1279: Chapter 1280: Let Husband See Where I've Gained Weight Chapter 1279: Chapter 1280: Let Husband See Where I've Gained Weight Senior Xiao Lao Di was also stunned, not because of anything else, but because there was an old man standing in front of the door who looked exactly like him. He recognized at a glance that this person was a clone he had casually separated from himself back then. Unexpectedly, this clone had now grown to such an extent that it could not only step into the Central Origin Realm, but also rise to prominence and create a stir. It was truly inconceivable.

One could only say that it was truly worthy of being his clone!

The people around were also stunned; they were actually seeing two Senior Xiao Lao Dis!

Hadn't Senior Xiao Lao Di been staying within their Sword Sect the whole time? Then who was this person who had just come out from the great hall?

Their stature and aura were exactly the same!

“This… Xiaobai, what is this…?”

Ying Diao asked somewhat blankly.

“Just returned from traveling the outer realms, Sect Master can rest assured, everything is as usual.”

Li Xiaobai said cheerfully.

“Uh…”

“Have you gained anything from this trip? Who is this person…?”

A hint of surprise flashed across Ying Diao's dull face as he stared at Senior Xiao Lao Di and asked. His intuition told him that one of the two Senior Xiao Lao Dis was an imposter, very likely the one who had been overseeing his sect. On the day he showed divine might, that figure had clearly displayed the power of the Saint Realm, which left him somewhat confused.

Li Xiaobai said, “This is Senior Xiao Lao Di.”

“And this one?”

Ying Diao asked, turning to the old beggar beside them.

“This one is also Senior Xiao Lao Di.”

Li Xiaobai cheerfully declared.

“This time, during our travels, we have brought back quite a few resources, which can serve as the foundation for the sect's future development.”

“Good!”

Having Ergouzi and Ji Wuqing stay behind to explain the events of their journey to the sect members, Li Xiaobai took a few people back to his own private garden, as he had matters to handle.

Inside the private garden, Long Xue was pouring tea.

Senior Xiao Lao Di sized up the old beggar, his clone.

“Tsk tsk tsk, the more I look, the handsomer it becomes. This face is truly something one never tires of looking at!”

Senior Xiao Lao Di said.

The old beggar was also quite astonished, as this was his first time meeting what was referred to as the original body: “Senior is Senior Xiao Lao Di indeed, truly a handsome and distinguished personage, a dragon and phoenix among men!”

Listening to the mutual flattery between the two, the expressions of the people inside the room were somewhat strange. These two were basically the same person, and it felt odd that they were heaping praise as if on someone else.

“Chen Yuan, has everyone arrived?”

Li Xiaobai looked over at Chen Yuan, who was standing with folded hands, and asked.

“Reporting to Brother Li, as per your instructions, everything has been arranged properly. At this moment, all have been thrown into the newly established latrines.”

Chen Yuan responded respectfully.

“That's very good, you must keep a close eye on them. Don't be deceived by their current cooperation. Rewind a decade or two, and each of them was a ruthless character who dominated their own territory!”

Li Xiaobai nodded and spoke indifferently.

“Don't worry, Brother Li, whether it's a dragon or a tiger, once it arrives at our Sword Sect's Second Peak, there's only one fate awaiting it–latrine cleaning!”

Chen Yuan said proudly, standing tall and straight.

A few days ago, he received a message from Li Xiaobai and knew that a large number of cultivators would be specially transported into the Second Peak of the Sword Sect. On the day the Five-colored Altar opened the passage, he arranged for thousands of cultivators to be dumped into the newly-built privies.

Recently, the number of disciples in the Sword Sect has surged, and the privies needed further expansion too; just as they were short of manpower, a batch of high-quality Poop Scoopers arrived. Without asking further, he threw them directly into the dung pits. After a couple of days of a full-package service, the newly arrived cultivators were already well acquainted with the Second Peak's cultivation routine.

Given time, they naturally became familiar with it.

The latrines within today's Second Peak of the Sword Sect now have a sound structure. If they were only beginning to take form previously, now they are fully established, with automated operations.

“The people from the Buddhist Pagoda have all been transported out, not just those in the Immortal's three realms, but also the Semi-Saint experts are now all within the Sword Sect. With the Buddhist Pagoda emptied, the Buddhist Sect no longer has the Power of Faith; even someone like Wuyuzi, relying on his profound Buddhist Law and ample Power of Faith, can't turn the tide by transforming a few cultivators,” Li Xiaobai said, nodding slightly.

“That's right, the supply of the Power of Faith has been cut off. The great disorder within the Buddhist Sect is a foregone conclusion. Once the news spreads, many forces outside will greedily eye it and will inevitably swarm in, to divide and conquer. We just need to sit back and watch the tigers fight and reap the benefits like a fisherman!” Xiao Lao Di nodded.

“However, I notice that you, lad, seem to be gathering a faint aura of the Power of Faith. If used wisely, it could become incredibly powerful!”

“That's exactly my intention. I'll look up some material later and contemplate it thoroughly,” Li Xiaobai said.

Li Xiaobai wasn't particularly enthusiastic about the Power of Faith. Holding trillions of exquisite Immortal Stones, there was nothing in the System Mall he couldn't buy, be it a Saint Realm Godzilla or a Saint Realm SeCalming Divine Needle–whatever he wanted, he could get in any quantity, and wholesale prices for retail were no issue.

A wave of his hand could summon thousands of Saint Realm Godzillas, enough to flatten any faction. The Blood Demon Sect, the Buddhist Sect, all would have to step aside.

After the group exchanged a few words, they left one by one. Chen Yuan was responsible for looking after Xiao Lao Di's food and accommodation. This Saint Realm expert harbored concerns in his heart, pondering over the crystal old man inside the large grave, and wasn't in the mood to go outside anymore.

Before leaving, Chen Yuan said solemnly, “Rest assured, Brother, I will go to find the scriptures related to the Power of Faith and offer up all the relevant books from the Eastern Continent tomorrow morning!”

“Excellent, you manage the Second Peak well; you are a great merit to our Sword Sect!” Li Xiaobai nodded, pleased. It was gratifying to have such a capable deputy, allowing many things to be handled without his direct involvement, the convenience of having someone proactive to attend to his needs felt truly wonderful!

Once everyone had left, Li Xiaobai carefully looked around to make sure there was nobody else, closed the doors and windows tightly, and then turned to Long Xue, who was tidying up the tea sets, giggling.

“Wife, last time I had to leave in a hurry, I saw you were in closed-door cultivation and did not want to disturb you, how are you feeling now?”

“Husband, I've been feeling a little unwell these past few days, perhaps from a lack of exercise. Maybe husband could join me for some?” Long Xue said playfully, batting her eyes.

“Sure, I've had some insights lately. Let's have a good exchange. Which part does my wife want to practice?” Li Xiaobai said.

“Let's practice the legs. I feel like they've gotten a bit fatter these past few days. Husband, could you take a look?” Long Xue lifted her skirt slightly, revealing a pair of luminous, jade-like legs swaying in the room.

She then tightened the clothing around her chest and said, “Actually, it feels like this area has also gotten bigger…”

“Great!”

“Let the husband take a closer look and see exactly where the weight was gained!”

Li Xiaobai grinned and approached her.

With the Explosive Clothing Divine Skill enhancing his defensive power, he and Long Xue intertwined in a passionate battle, the room coated in frost while steam rose, a domain of both ice and fire.
