Chapter 1407: Chapter 1407: I Get Easily Scared, So Please Don’t Frighten
Shi Ming and the other two Martial Artists from the Minor World were quite aware of their limitations.
In the Minor World, they had been undefeatable overlords, but in this vast Three Thousand Great World full of powerful figures, they were at the very bottom rung. Only by behaving submissively could they avoid bullying.
Surrounding them now were several young female disciples of Lingxu Palace, all of whom were Foundation Establishnt Realm cultivators. Though they giggled and teased endlessly, Shi Ming and the others dared not show any displeasure.
The young female disciples standing at the front spoke provocatively, shooting flirtatious glances at Shi Ming and the others while their hands occasionally wandered over their bodies. This made Shi Ming and the other three blush furiously, lowering their heads in sha without daring to utter a word.
“Dear senior sisters, please stop touching us—have rcy!”
Fang Bai, though not as embarrassed as Shi Ming and the others, was equally helpless in this situation. While dodging the “wandering hands” of the Lingxu Palace disciples, he chuckled bitterly and said, “All of you are Foundation Establishnt experts, possessing trendous power in every move, whereas we are weaklings with fragile bodies. If you were to accidentally damage certain parts, we might not be able to use them properly later.”
“Hehe… Junior Brother, which parts are you referring to?”
A Lingxu Palace female disciple with freckles on her nose and large eyes giggled mischievously, casting a suggestive glance at Fang Bai’s body while pretending to reach out for a pinch.
Seeing her gaze and movent, Fang Bai’s heart skipped a beat, his legs instinctively clamping together. He thought to himself, Could it be that Lingxu Palace’s female disciples are all this wild?
“Senior Sister, I’m timid, please don’t scare …”
Surrounded by a pack of “she-wolves,” Fang Bai dared not utter tough words and could only grin ingratiatingly at the freckled Lingxu Palace disciple who seed eager to pinch certain parts of him.
There was no choice—under soone else’s roof and lacking the strength to compete, Fang Bai had to temporarily swallow his pride.
“Hey, what’s your na?”
The freckled Lingxu Palace female disciple pointed at Fang Bai and asked.
“I… I’m called Fang Bai.”
Fang Bai answered weakly.
“Fang Bai, right? Good. From now on, I’ll watch over you in Lingxu Palace. Hurry up and call Senior Sister!”
With her hands on her hips, the freckled Foundation Establishnt disciple from Lingxu Palace smirked as she spoke.
“Senior Sister!”
Fang Bai called out and cupped his hands respectfully, then asked, “May I know Senior Sister’s esteed na?”
“She’s Miao Lingling, ranked third on the Inner Court disciples’ battle strength chart! Fang Bai, you’re lucky. Senior Sister Miao has promised to protect you, and now you won’t have to worry about being bullied in Lingxu Palace!”
Another female disciple chid in.
“Miao Lingling… Senior Sister has beauty and a pleasant na!”
Fang Bai casually offered a complint, noticing that Senior Sister Miao seed quite pleased, her face lighting up with joy. Then he tugged on Shi Ming and the other two newcors beside him and said, “Senior Sister Miao has a righteous and chivalrous character; I’m truly grateful. These three are my brothers—please also look after them, Senior Sister.”
Miao Lingling bead upon hearing Fang Bai’s remarks—”Senior Sister is beautiful and has a pleasant na” and “Senior Sister Miao is righteous and chivalrous.” Feeling increasingly favorable toward him, she patted her chest and declared, “No problem. I’ll protect all four of you. In Lingxu Palace, if anyone bullies you, just let know—I’ll stand up for you!”
“Thank you, Senior Sister Miao!”
Fang Bai and his companions were newcors to Lingxu Palace. According to tradition, rookies often faced various forms of bullying from senior disciples.
However, thanks to Miao Lingling, ranked third among Lingxu Palace’s junior disciples, their situation would undoubtedly improve significantly.
“Hahaha… Elder Wu, I heard you’ve brought back so promising new recruits! Let take a look!”
At this mont, a hearty laugh rang out, followed by a figure shooting through the air to land before Elder Wu Zhihua.
With the arrival of this figure, Fang Bai and the others felt an overwhelming pressure far greater than Elder Wu’s, and instantly deduced that the newcor must be Lingxu Palace’s current Palace Master, Li Sanfu.
As they looked closer, they saw Li Sanfu standing tall and broad-shouldered, even larger than Shi Ming. His imposing presence was akin to a towering mountain and pressed down heavily, making Shi Ming and the other newcors struggle to breathe.
Although Fang Bai’s physical body was robust enough to withstand Li Sanfu’s might, he deliberately feigned discomfort, acting as if he were suffering greatly and unable to endure the pressure.
The dangers and challenges within the Three Thousand Great World were far greater than those of the Minor World. Carelessness could lead to death, so Fang Bai avoided standing out unnecessarily for fear of attracting unwanted attention or being treated differently.
Until he had sufficient strength to protect himself, Fang Bai thought it wiser to blend in than to stand in the spotlight.
“Haha, one Fire, one Earth—two Innate Spiritual Roots! This ti, it’s a big win! Hmm, the other two’s aptitudes aren’t bad either… Haha, Elder Wu, you’ve perford exceptionally well this ti!”
Li Sanfu’s gaze swept over Fang Bai and his companions. Excitent filled his face as he laughed heartily, the sound resonating so powerfully that Fang Bai and the others’ eardrums buzzed incessantly.
Elder Wu Zhihua smiled slightly and said, “Thanks to the Palace Master’s assistance, this was a fruitful harvest. It’s just a pity that of the six Innate Spiritual Roots from the Minor World, I only brought back two.”
Li Sanfu replied, “There were at least forty sects stationed at the Profound Spirit Mountain teleportation array. Being able to retrieve two Innate Spiritual Roots amidst a pack of wolves is already an impressive feat. As we always say at Lingxu Palace: faults are punished, rits are rewarded. Elder Wu, go to Elder Sun later and claim two bottles of Blazing Fla Red Heart Fluid.”
Elder Wu was overjoyed and said, “Thank you, Palace Master.”
Blazing Fla Red Heart Fluid, refined from the Blazing Fla Scarlet Heart Fruit, was a form of Spiritual Liquid invaluable to experts cultivating Fire-based Techniques.
The refinent of Blazing Fla Red Heart Fluid was difficult, and Lingxu Palace’s reserves were limited. Each bottle taken directly reduced their stock, which was only used during critical breakthroughs by elders as supplentary aid.
Li Sanfu’s decision to have Elder Wu claim two bottles was a rare reward, attainable only through major achievents, and Elder Wu naturally rejoiced.
The “Elder Sun” referenced was Sun Jing, who managed the Elixir Hall and was, like Elder Wu Zhihua, a High Rank Foundation Establishnt cultivator.
Among Fang Bai’s group, Shi Ming’s tall, burly build made him impossible to ignore. When Li Sanfu arrived, his attention focused primarily on Shi Ming.
“What’s your na? Judging by your physique and aura, you must be gifted with Divine Power, right?”
Li Sanfu, intrigued by this new disciple who resembled himself in size and possessed an Innate Spiritual Root, spoke while forcefully patting Shi Ming’s shoulder.
Despite his impressive stature and strength, Shi Ming was only at Half-Step Foundation Establishnt—the gap in cultivation level was far too great for him to withstand Li Sanfu’s strength. His knees buckled with a pained cry, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
