Absolute Choice

Chapter 535: Absolutely not running

Translator: CKtalon Editor: - -

Having suffered internal injuries and having sat for too long, Mu Lengxi suddenly turned limp when she stood up. As such, she nearly fell over but was supported by Shi Xiaobai's quick extension of his hand. Although he had a fast reaction, he had failed to consider the unfamiliar woman's posture in his haste.

As such, the pose turned somewhat 'unacceptable'.

Shi Xiaobai very quickly sensed the strange feeling coming from his left hand that was pressed against the woman's body. Although there were clothes separating them, the touch felt as soft as cotton. It was as warm and mild as tofu. A tiny bit of strength from his fingers felt like it was pressing into a silt dune. It just kept sinking in.

The 'pure' Shi Xiaobai quickly glanced at the position of his left hand. Unfazed, he retracted his right hand to properly adjust the woman's posture. Even to the naked Infernal Queen, he had only politely hardened. This bit of 'accident' naturally wouldn't stir him at all. Shi Xiaobai obviously did not have any ulterior motives towards the unfamiliar woman that resembled Mu Lengxi's elder sister, nor would he take advantage of the situation to do anything forbidden.

However, this scene that landed in Tyger Li's eyes made him feel more upset than the three hard slaps. He had spewed a mouthful of blood and his eyes had even turned green.

The three slaps had caused his face to swell in bruises. Shi Xiaobai had held onto his daughter in an unacceptable manner in front of him, and now, Shi Xiaobai had taken advantage of 'sampling' his former wife. How could Tyger Li accept such humiliation? Furthermore, the person who humiliated him in such a manner was not a top expert like Thunder Emperor or Tyrant, nor was he the leader of the three factions, but a Psionic Mortal Realm rookie that he wouldn't even bat an eyelid at usually!

If a magnate that lived in an ivory tower were to suddenly be trampled on by a poor beggar and humiliated wantonly. Such augmented humiliation made Tyger Li, who was always good at controlling his emotions, nearly lose his reason.

However, for Tyger Li to reach the peak of China's political world, he clearly had not done so only by relying on the Li family's background. He was a sinister tiger. Against lambs, he would only pounce ruthlessly at them to tear them into bits. But against a mighty lion, he would be extremely patient. He would use a myriad of schemes to slowly bite off the lion's meat, and devour the lion in the safest and most stable manner.

To Tyger Li, Shi Xiaobai was not a lion. He wasn't even considered a lamb but a rabbit that jumped around without any regard for danger. If it were any other time, such rabbits that sought death would be devoured clean by him without even spitting out their bones. But now, this rabbit had not only stepped onto his head to dump a pile of shit, it had also constructed a green grassland that was conducive for cuckolding on his head. It was not sufficient just to devour him immediately.

Tearing him apart or slowly devouring him was not 'delightful' enough. The manner of death that could allow him to vent his anger was a problem worth considering.

Tyger Li had successfully transferred his attention, turning humiliation to vengeance, and then transforming vengeance into the strength to seek revenge. Tyger Li had suffered in various ways when he first entered the world of politics and he had used such a technique to allow him to 'swallow humiliation to discharge his duties'.

And now, Tyger Li had been forced into the same state. He took three deep breaths and sneered stiffly. After saying, 'get the hell out', he turned and walked out the hall first.

Shi Xiaobai was about to follow with the silver-haired woman in his arm. However, Mu Lengxi, who was beside him, hurriedly pulled him back.

"Why?" asked Shi Xiaobai in puzzlement.

Mu Lengxi hesitated for a moment and took out a writing board. She wrote: "Although I don't want to admit it, it's actually true…that he is my father."

"Ah?"

Shi Xiaobai was first shocked before he said with a frown, "Your injuries are severe. Since he's your father, why was he so vicious?"

Mu Lengxi sighed inwardly and wrote, "Some things happened. I made some mistakes and according to his rules, I have to be punished. However,…he has his boundaries and would not truly injure me. It was an…accident."

Shi Xiaobai's eyebrows knitted even more as he said, "Why are you…helping him explain?"

"It's not an explanation."

Mu Lengxi shook her head and wrote: "It's just that, Brother Xiaobai, the situation isn't as you imagined it to be. Although my mother and I would suffer slightly, that will be all. That person might seem a bit cold-blooded, but he would not go too far when it comes to his daughter and former wife. However, he now truly wishes to kill you, so later…find an opportunity to run!"

Mu Lengxi looked solemnly at Shi Xiaobai to indicate that she was not joking.

Shi Xiaobai's expression immediately turned serious as he said with a shake of his head, "You should know that This King will absolutely not run, much less flee while leaving you behind."

"I know."

Mu Lengxi had a melancholic expression as she wrote: "But I don't want to watch you send yourself to your death, Brother Xiaobai! Those seven soldiers are at the Psionic Might Realm!"

Afraid that Shi Xiaobai did not know what the Psionic Might Realm warriors represented, she hurriedly added on: "The Psionic Might Realm is equivalent to a Level Lord!"

Shi Xiaobai was slightly astonished. Indeed, he did not have much of a concept of the Psionic Might Realm, but he had a particular understanding of the Level Lords' strength. Although he had killed seven of the Level Lords in his 'rampaging' state, Shi Xiaobai had faced the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign, which was also a Level Lord, on the third level.

Back then, Shi Xiaobai had no way of fighting it. He could only rely on Mu Yuesheng's superpower to escape.

Level Lords were nearly invincible against people at the Psionic Mortal Realm.

However, Shi Xiaobai was no longer on the same level of strength as when he was at the third level. The stark contrast was as different as night and day.

After experiencing the combat experience of the later levels, in addition to the appearance of the 'Power of Taotie', the level of Shi Xiaobai's sword techniques and physical toughness had exceeded the confines of the Psionic Mortal Realm.

And while resisting the 'Holy Tree Sin Poison' at the ninth level, he had devoured the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign's treasury as well as the black and white swords. Furthermore, he had half a Transcendence bloodline as well as the special ability of 'Transcendental Nine Transformations'. Shi Xiaobai's strength had reached whole new heights.

Shi Xiaobai did not know how strong he was but he was certain that he no longer conformed to the general standards of the Psionic Mortal Realm. His strength had already far exceeded the Psionic Mortal Realm.

However, Shi Xiaobai was unsure if he could defeat the Psionic Might Realm or the combined forces of seven Psionic Might Realm warriors.

But if he chose to shrink back because he lacked the confidence, then he wouldn't be Shi Xiaobai!

Shi Xiaobai gently consoled, "This King was able to conquer eight Level Lords. How would he be afraid of seven people at the Psionic Might Realm? Don't worry. This King will be fine."

Although seven of the eight Level Lords were not taken down with his actual strength, it did not stop him from using it as one of his 'accolades' so as to console the girl beside him.

However, Mu Lengxi wouldn't calm down because of that. She looked worried and wrote: "Brother Xiaobai, you have already done enough for us. My mother and I will really be fine. There's still time to escape. I don't want you to take such a huge risk. I'm afraid…"

Mu Lengxi did not finish writing her thoughts but her frail expression that looked worried explained everything. She was afraid that Shi Xiaobai would die accidentally like her brother and turn into a pain that would be too late for regret. Even though she knew that she would not be able to persuade Shi Xiaobai, she still wanted to try her best.

Shi Xiaobai sighed and said gently, "This King promises you that if there is real peril, This King will run and not foolishly send himself to his death."

Mu Lengxi faltered slightly as her eyes lit up. She nodded her head strongly.

Shi Xiaobai smiled slightly as he turned to walk out. His gentle expression changed as though it was as resolute as a rock.

Sorry, he had lied.

A king could be defeated and he could escape but he could not flee while throwing his friends behind.

So, regardless of what despair seven people at the Psionic Might Realm meant, he would absolutely not flee!
