The unlucky guy struck by lightning

Who was that person struck by the Four-legged Beast?

It was none other than Chu Li, who possessed an Earth Level talent!

From not far away, he saw Gu Xiaoxing smiling so happily and had never seen the pet beast in Gu Xiaoyue’s arms, so he wanted to get closer to take a look.

Unexpectedly, he was struck by the Four-legged Beast's Thunderbolt Spell!

Gu Xiaoxing and Ye Wanrou quickly went forward to check on Chu Li's injuries.

Gu Xiaoyue, on the other hand, secretly tapped the Four-legged Beast's nose with her finger. “I haven’t even told you to attack yet!”

With a thought, she recalled the Four-legged Beast to her Yu Beast Space to play.

Then she also approached Chu Li to check on the situation.

Although the Four-legged Beast was an Immortal Tier pet beast, it was only Young life stage 1. It wouldn't have struck him dead, would it?

It has to be said that after Chu Li was struck by lightning, although his hair was messy and his face was dirty, he still looked very handsome.

His features were well-defined, his skin was fair, and his eyelashes were long and curled. Although he was a young master, he didn't have the effeminate air of someone overly pampered.

Gu Xiaoxing looked at Gu Xiaoyue and Ye Wanrou, “Wh-what should we do?” She was about to cry. It was her first time encountering someone struck by lightning. If the lightning had been even slightly off, it would have hit her!

“First aid, first aid! Artificial respiration! CPR!” Ye Wanrou was also a little flustered, watching as teachers and students swarmed around them.

“What’s going on? What’s going on?”

“I think I heard a crack—”

“Holy crap, a dry lightning strike out of nowhere!”

“What happened? What happened?”

The students gathered around, chattering.

“Xiao Yue, what should we do?” Ye Wanrou was so anxious she was almost crying.

Gu Xiaoyue took her hand and gently squeezed it. When she first came over, she saw that Chu Li indeed had no breath, but now his chest was rising and falling. Perhaps he had been in shock just now and was recovering.

“It’s alright, don’t worry—” Gu Xiaoyue hadn't finished speaking when Chu Li suddenly sat up with a “whoosh.”

“Oh my god!”

Chu Li’s sudden movement startled Ye Wanrou.

“Cough—” Chu Li opened his mouth, and a puff of white smoke came out.

The students quickly asked Chu Li how he was.

Chu Li suddenly sprang up from the ground, “What day is it today?”

“It’s the Coming-of-Age Ceremony today, Chu Li, are you alright?” The surrounding students exchanged glances.

“Coming-of-Age Ceremony? Coming-of-Age Ceremony—” Chu Li muttered. So, he... he was reborn! What about Gu Xiaoyue?

He searched through the crowd and finally saw the face he had longed for day and night.

“Xiao Yue!” Chu Li pulled Gu Xiaoyue into his arms. The joy of regaining what he had lost made him want to melt Gu Xiaoyue into his body.

Gu Xiaoyue was dumbfounded, and the surrounding students exploded!

“Ahhh, Chu Li hugged a girl!”

“Oh my god, Chu Li likes Gu Xiaoyue!”

“This confession is too direct, I don’t even dare to look—” This student covered her face with her hand while peeking through her fingers.

“Senior Chu, the school heartthrob, how am I worse than Gu Xiaoyue?” Many girls looked as if they were about to cry.

Gu Xiaoyue, who had regained her senses, pushed Chu Li away and ran off in a flash.

It was too horrifying!

It was good that he wasn't dead, but it seemed like he had been struck silly by the Four-legged Beast!

Gu Xiaoxing, still at the scene, was so angry her nose was crooked. She also wanted to pursue Chu Li, and after hinting for a long time, he seemed to have no reaction at all. But today, he directly hugged Gu Xiaoyue in front of all the students!

“Xiaoxing, Xiao Yue, she—”

Gu Xiaoxing instantly perked up. After enduring Chu Li's cold shoulder for so long, it was finally his turn to talk to her, and he even called her so intimately.

“My sister, she must be very happy today, right? Although she was previously tested to have all attributes, she did summon a companion beast today, even if it’s Human Level and ugly...”

Chu Li probably didn't know Gu Xiaoyue's true situation, which was why he was so obsessed and hugged her. Once he knew what kind of person Gu Xiaoyue was, how could Chu Li possibly fancy her?

“Human Level? Human Level...” Chu Li was a little disheartened. No, that’s not right!

Gu Xiaoyue clearly had a Heaven Tier talent!

Her companion beast was Bai Ze, and its skill was Blessing Healing.

At only 24 years old, she was already a Legendary Beastmaster, about to qualify as a Quasi-Legendary.

She was a genius among geniuses, always smiling gently.

Her fiancé, Chen Yixuan, was also a healing-type Beastmaster.

His talent was inferior to hers, his abilities were inferior to hers, yet he alone could possess her!

Was Chen Yixuan worthy? When Gu Xiaoyue was treating hundreds, even thousands of Beastmasters' pet beasts, Chen Yixuan couldn't even manage dozens. If only he had been a little stronger, helped Xiao Yue more...

Xiao Yue wouldn't have died from exhaustion in that beast tide!

Such a wonderful person collapsed right before his eyes; he even blamed himself for not confessing earlier, at least letting her know his feelings.

Since heaven allowed him to live again, this time, it would be Chu Li who would protect Gu Xiaoyue!

Two days later, school started, and the class assignment notice was posted on the bulletin board.

Chu Li's name was the first in the Elite Class.

Students were discussing why Chu Li rejected special admissions from various universities and chose to take the college entrance exam with them.

There were even rumors that Chu Li wanted to attend the same university as Gu Xiaoyue for her sake.

Wherever Gu Xiaoyue went, Chu Li would follow.

The rumors grew more intense, even claiming that Chu Li had already proposed to Gu Xiaoyue, and they would marry after university, and so on.

Gu Xiaoyue found these rumors both amusing and frustrating; she didn't even know Chu Li.

At most, she knew of his existence, as he was the number one school heartthrob of Huanan Middle School; which girl in the entire school didn't know him?

As for why Chu Li hugged her after being struck by lightning that day, she didn't know and didn't want to think too much about it.

Moreover, after the misunderstanding that day, Gu Xiaoyue went straight home and didn't have dinner with Ye Wanrou.

“Xiao Qi, are you hungry?” Gu Xiaoyue communicated telepathically with the Four-legged Beast, who was frolicking in her Yu Beast Space.

These past two days, Gu Xiaoyue had given the Four-legged Beast a name—Qilin.

The Four-legged Beast gave her a resentful look. Aren't you aware if I'm hungry? Have you fed me these past two days?

“I saw you gnawing on the turf earlier...” Gu Xiaoyue guiltily rubbed her nose.

Thankfully, it was an Immortal Tier pet beast. If it were Human Level and hadn't eaten pet food for two days, it would have died or withered away.

The Four-legged Beast grumbled, raising its two front hooves in protest.

Gu Xiaoyue rummaged through her wallet and her piggy bank where she kept her allowance. All the money she had amounted to only 5000 star coins.

With class assignments today, there was nothing else to do. Gu Xiaoyue thought she would buy pet food for Xiao Qi after school.

Gu Xiaoyue looked for her name on the class assignment list. “Beastmaster Ordinary Class, one, two, three... hmm, Class Nine.”

Having found her name, Gu Xiaoyue turned to leave when a small figure suddenly pounced into her arms.

Gu Xiaoyue looked, and it was none other than Ye Wanrou.

“Xiao Yue, you’re not in my class! I went home and told my dad to pull some strings, he—”

Gu Xiaoyue quickly covered her mouth. “My dear lady, please be mindful of the occasion!”

Gu Xiaoyue looked around, then pulled her aside to a less crowded area before speaking.

“Ye Wanrou, I know you mean well, but your method won't work. Even if we're close, with over a thousand pairs of eyes watching, how can your family pull strings? Aren't you afraid of being reported?”

“But, but—” Ye Wanrou was almost in tears.

If she couldn't be in the same class as Xiao Yue, it would be even harder for them to be together after the college entrance exam. After all, the Elite Class had more resources, and if Xiao Yue worked hard, maybe she could attend a higher education institution with her.

Chen Yixuan also came over. “Xiao Yue, although I'm only Yellow Level, my companion beast has healing skills, and I've already decided to become a Healer. I'll talk to the Advisor and help you transfer classes!”

Healers were rare, but he was just a student. How could the school, because of one Healer, exceptionally admit a Human Level Beastmaster with garbage attributes into the Elite Class?

Gu Xiaoyue rubbed her forehead. Were they too naive, or was she too complicated?

“It's useless for you to say anything. I should be the one to say it!”

Gu Xiaoyue looked up. Why was he joining in the fun again?
