“That won’t do, first you have to beat me until I’m comfortable.”

Li Xiaobai said seriously.

“Kid, I’ve been imprisoned in this Formation for three hundred years now, and aside from using my tongue, I can’t exert the slightest bit of my cultivation level, otherwise, you would have been done in by me long ago.”

The faint voice from under the lake transmitted.

“Then let’s have a chat inside your belly.”

Li Xiaobai was not willing to give up and continued to speak, but this time the creature at the bottom of the lake didn’t pay him any more attention and went on to say,

“You must have noticed that your talisman can’t teleport you out of here. It is because this small world contains a trace of Immortal Spirit Qi left by that person back then, so only Upper Realm methods can break it open. If you want to get out, I can teach you.”

The voice stated.

Li Xiaobai instinctively felt there was a trick and shook his head like a rattle-drum.

“No need, I never cultivate anyway, and this place is pretty good; I don’t want to leave for the time being.”

Once out, finding such a big monster that allowed for crazy leveling up would be harder than reaching the skies.

“You don’t want to leave?”

“There’s nothing here, not even Spiritual Energy, which is extremely thin. Staying here has no benefit whatsoever for you.”

“Think about the outside world, where the sky’s the limit for the birds to fly, the ocean vast and open, the human race abundant in bloodlines, and food everywhere—what joy to feast to one’s content, cough cough…”

The voice became somewhat frantic and hurriedly stopped.

Li Xiaobai cocked his head and looked at the lake’s surface, thinking that this underwater fellow must have not communicated with people for too long, accidentally letting slip its true feelings.

This monster must be trapped in the small world. If he opened the small world, the creature would regain its strength and escape with him, with his own demise assured then.

“Pah! You demon, trying to trick me into letting you out to wreak havoc; I, Li Xiaobai, am not that kind of person!”

Li Xiaobai sat down on the spot, feeling a little upset that the underwater creature wouldn’t eat him.

“Young brother, I am not a cruel creature. Three hundred years ago, human race cultivators coveted the bloodline within me, forcibly suppressed me here, and continuously extracted from me to develop and expand their sect. I am just a person with a miserable fate, ah.”

The voice from the lake’s depths spoke slowly, with a touch of light sadness.

“That’s not what you said when you ate that Great Crossing Realm Elder.”

Li Xiaobai scoffed at this. He could almost believe the fervent words of the creature. Clearly, this monster had reached some sort of understanding with the Three Sects to have cultivators thrown in for it to eat.

The creature was an old sly one, and its words couldn’t be trusted lightly.

“Kid, let’s lay our cards on the table, what will it take for you to let me out?”

“Just so you know, without my help, you absolutely won’t be able to get out. Helping me, is helping yourself.”

“How about this, if you promise to let me out, I will teach you a top-notch Cultivation Technique right now, which will definitely take you a step further!”

The voice from the lake bottom said impatiently and sharply.

“Sorry, my education doesn’t support me doing things like that; you’ve got the wrong person.”

Li Xiaobai slowly shook his head, a Cultivation Technique?

That thing was useless to him. On this journey, he had never cultivated; how could cultivation compare to being comfortably beaten up by others?

“As long as you let me out, resources for cultivation, Cultivation Techniques, treasures, beauties, property deeds—you name it, all my accumulated wealth over the years will be yours. How about that?”

With these words spoken, Li Xiaobai’s eyes lit up. The hoard of a powerhouse with unfathomable cultivation level would undoubtedly be an astonishing treasure trove. If he could get it, what would be the harm in releasing it?

“Cash on delivery, it has to be said, big shot, you really know how to choose your people!”

“Hmm, my savings are all in my cave abode. Release me first, and afterward I will surely present them to you with both hands!”

The voice said.

“Boss, getting something for nothing isn’t a good habit. I, Li Xiaobai, only believe in benefits that I can see.”

Li Xiaobai shook his head, the scheming of this guy was really something.

“Let’s be direct, I am trapped here, and besides my cultivation, I have nothing. However, my experience in cultivation remains. As long as you are willing to let me out, I can guide you and satisfy three of your wishes.”

The creature at the bottom of the lake said.

“Three wishes? I can wish for anything I want?”

Li Xiaobai asked.

“Of course, my word is as good as my magic; as long as it’s within my power, I’ll do as I say.”

“Alright then, for my first wish, you come out and let me see your true form.”

Li Xiaobai rubbed his chin and said. Chatting with an unknown entity wasn’t exactly comforting; he couldn’t feel at ease without seeing its true form.

“I have already said, I am trapped in a small world and cannot move.”

The voice from the bottom of the lake said coldly, feeling that the person on the shore was making fun of it.

“Then, for my second wish, give me your power. Cultivation is the root of all troubles. If you give it to me, you won’t have any more sorrows.”

“Are you making fun of me?”

“See, you’re getting irritated, aren’t you? It was you who said you could fulfill any wish within your powers. It shouldn’t be hard for you to give me your power, right?”

Li Xiaobai frowned and said.

“Yes, I could indeed give my power to you, but why should I?”

“If you give me your power, you will die in this small world. Without my guidance, you won’t be able to get out either!”

The voice from the bottom of the lake was livid; it truly wanted to consume the annoying person on the shore in one bite. However, remembering that the other could instantly move to the shore, it held back.

“Look, so it won’t work after all, will it?”

Li Xiaobai said dissatisfied. He wanted to aggravate the creature at the bottom of the lake because only then would it eat him and increase his Attribute Points.

“Change it.”

After a moment of silence, the voice from the bottom of the lake spoke solemnly.

“Then just eat me, I kind of feel like getting beaten up right now.”

Li Xiaobai shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly.

“What on earth are you trying to do!”

The lake monster roared angrily, utterly unable to comprehend Li Xiaobai’s thought processes. Shouldn’t normal people wish for treasures or Cultivation Techniques to quickly strengthen their power in this small world, and then go out to show off and slap the faces of those who once oppressed them, trampling all those people under their feet?

What was the deal with this guy?

He wasn’t doing any of the things humans would do; the creature had never seen such impolite requests!

“Can you fulfill them or not? One’s not okay, two’s not okay; what now, are you customer service? All talk and no action!”

Li Xiaobai was just as livid, cursing loudly across the surface of the lake.

The surface of the lake suddenly exploded, a crimson tongue shot up to the sky and in a blink, pierced Li Xiaobai.

“Brat, die for me!”
