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

Mei Changqing took the newspaper, unfolded it, and in an instant, his pupils violently constricted, his hands shaking uncontrollably, nearly dropping the newspaper onto the ground.

“City Lord Mei, what’s wrong? Is there urgent news?”

Wang Guan found it strange on the side and leaned in to look at the information on the newspaper.

In a blink, he was also veiling his eyes, which sparkled with a shock.

“This… that damn woman has made her move?”

Immortal Spirit Daily, front page headline.

“Southern Ming King of Women Shouts at the First Battlefront, Bullying Female Cultivators, Prepare to Face Death!”

“Latest News, Ling Xue’er Has Already Arrived in Central Province!”

“Latest News, Ling Xue’er Will Reach the Border’s No-Man’s Land in a Few Days!”

“Latest News, Ling Xue’er Has Two Hours Until She Arrives on the Battlefield, Please Get Ready!”

“I’ll be damned…”

Mei Changqing’s mind was a mess. He couldn’t understand what had happened recently that made Ling Xue’er travel all the way from Southern Ming to the border. What could have possibly happened to drive her to wage a killing spree all the way to the border?

It seemed he hadn’t offended her, right?

Not to mention offending her, the cultivators at the border hardly ever went out. They didn’t even have a chance to offend outsiders. So how did they provoke this madwoman?

“City Lord, what should we do?”

Fear flashed through Wang Guan’s eyes. In terms of strength, Ling Xue’er wasn’t at the very top, but she also possessed a trace of Immortal Spirit Qi.

The most critical thing was that, unlike other experts, this woman fought with a do-or-die attitude against anyone, regardless of the strength disparity, and would fight fiercely from the get-go.

Great Crossing Realm Cultivators cherished their lives because they had worked hard to reach this stage, so they usually avoided serious injuries. This woman, however, never played by the rules; once she made a move, it was to kill.

If entwined by her, it was likely that even if they managed to deal with her in the end, both he and Mei Changqing would be seriously injured. If the Holy City then took advantage of their weakness, they would be completely done for.

“First, let’s figure out why this madwoman is targeting us. There must be something that has offended her. Quickly gather all the recent issues of the Immortal Spirit Daily!”

“I don’t want to gamble my life with someone for no reason!”

Mei Changqing’s head throbbed with pain. Ling Xue’er was a very tricky opponent, and if they didn’t handle her properly, the entire First Battlefront would be overturned by her.

One troublesome matter after another had arisen recently, leaving no peace of mind.

Wang Guan also realized that the situation was getting out of hand, stretched out a hand and grabbed in the void. From within the Holy City, countless issues of the Immortal Spirit Daily shot forth and were all captured.

Mei Changqing went over each one and finally made a discovery.

“Thanks for the invitation, I’m at the First Battlefront, and I’ve been bullied!”

“The Doomsday of Female Cultivators, First-Person Perspective to Unveil the Filth and Beasts of the First Battlefront!”

“Female Cultivator Qin Huan Tells You From Her Own Experience, In the First Battlefront, Female Cultivators Have No Rights.”

“Daring to Ask the Heavens, Who Will Stand for the Justice of Female Cultivators!”

“So it’s like this, within my First Battlefront at the border, a female cultivator has been bullied. When did this happen!”

Mei Changqing’s expression was filled with anger, and the Immortal Spirit Daily in his hand instantly turned to a pile of ashes.

“I also do not know about this matter, it must have happened within the first battlefield encampment, not within the city walls, so we didn’t notice.”

Wang Guan said.

“Find this woman named Qin Huan and see which bastard is causing trouble, bullying female cultivators. No wonder Ling Xue’er came to fight us desperately!”

“Find that scum and throw him to Ling Xue’er to deal with!”

Mei Changqing said viciously.

No wonder they were attacked, it turns out they had stepped on a landmine. On the Immortal Spirit Continent, everyone knows the history of how the Kingdom of Women came to be.

Ling Xue’er herself had suffered much abuse in her early years, yet ironically had an exceptionally high talent. After achieving success in her cultivation, she exterminated all the cultivators who had once bullied her. She then took root in Southern Ming, established the Kingdom of Women, and specifically provided a haven for female cultivators who had been mistreated.

Once, for a group of female cultivators who were bought and sold at an auction held by powerful figures, she fought across a good half of the Immortal Spirit Continent. The battle lasted three days and three nights, as she faced more than a dozen Great Crossing Realm Experts without showing signs of fatigue, forcefully rescuing the female cultivators from the auction.

After that battle, she made a name for herself, and everyone on the Mainland knew the prestige of the Kingdom of Women. The mistreatment of female cultivators on the Mainland also notably decreased.

Of course, that was just on the surface. In secret, there were still many female cultivators who fell victim to the despicable.

This time, it was their frontier’s first battlefield that had stepped on a mine. There were cultivators bullying female cultivators, and this incident was even reported in the Immortal Spirit Daily by Elder Tianji, which caught Ling Xue’er’s attention.

“Damn it, that old immortal Tianji is no good bird either, actually using my first battlefield as a gimmick to attract readers, utterly shameless. If I encounter him during the battle for Immortal Spirit Qi, I must slay him!”

Mei Changqing was more than a little furious. Recently, there had been frequent troubles, all because of his subordinates messing up.

This time was the most outrageous, having drawn that madwoman here. If it weren’t for the need to give an explanation to the other party, he really wanted to personally get rid of the man who oppressed the female cultivator himself!

“Understood, but shouldn’t we also prepare in advance, in case the other party is not satisfied with our explanation, so we can respond in a timely manner?”

Wang Guan agreed and continued to ask.

“Those two Saint Heirs from Fire Qilin Cave are still here, aren’t they? Don’t let them idle around. If they want our help to pass the trial, let them contribute too!”

“Although those two Protectors’ cultivation levels aren’t that impressive, they are nevertheless at the strength of the Great Crossing Realm, and they are experts from Fire Qilin Cave. I reckon that madwoman would give them a little respect.”

“Besides, order Cangying and the rest to be on standby. Our two families have a combined number of Great Crossing Realm Cultivators that amounts to a handful. I don’t believe this madwoman would dare to play with her life under these circumstances!”

Mei Changqing expelled a breath of turbid air and slowly said, these were the viable forces he could muster in a short period of time.

Normally, anyone with a sane mind wouldn’t engage in a head-on clash, but he really wasn’t sure when dealing with the King of Women from the Kingdom of Women; after all, those people from the Kingdom of Women don’t think straight, a life for a life, an eye for an eye.

Moreover, the Immortal Spirit Daily hadn’t mentioned how many people Ling Xue’er had brought with her this time. If she was alone, it would be fine, but if she also brought Great Crossing Realm helpers, that would be a big problem!

“Got it, I’ll arrange it immediately after I go back,”

Wang Guan nodded and said.

The two disappeared from their spot in the blink of an eye.

At the same time.

Within the border’s first battlefield.

In a certain tent, a gaunt-looking young man was whipping a female cultivator who was crawling on the ground.

“Damn it, do you know how many Spirit Stones this nightglow cup is worth?”

“Even if you sold your entire family, it wouldn’t equal one-tenth of its value!”

“Damn it, daring to smash the nightglow cup that I love most, you’re asking for death!”
