134: Lu Chen's daily life! The daily life of the Skeleton King!
In front of the ice sculpture maze in the Arctic War Zone, Shelley was using an ice crystal pen to write blessings on a signature board.
A boy wearing glasses mustered up his courage and stepped forward: "Senior, can you write 'Success in the Postgraduate Entrance Examination'?"
The ice beauty raised her hand and condensed a 3D ice sculpture that read "Success in the Postgraduate Entrance Examination"!
That night, a viral title appeared on the cultivation short video platform: "Someone Else's Senior! Achieving Your Dreams with a Wave of Her Hand."

Atop the clock tower late at night, Lu Chen scrolled through the 999+ messages on his smartphone.
Specifically, new updates were constantly popping up in the small group of five people he had pinned to the top:
【Flame Tower Princess on the Run】: Damn! My old man asked when I'm bringing a son-in-law back to the Flame Tower!
【Arctic Observation Station】: The Royal Public Relations Department suggests we create some positive news.
【Holy Light Guides Me】: Um... the recent turnover from the teahouse and coffee shop is enough to renovate the church!
【Daoist Sect Worker】: The hexagrams show public opinion... maybe it will die down in three days?
【Undead Artist】: I suggest a group building trip tomorrow to film a vlog and divert attention!
Lu Chen looked toward the campus festival venue, where the lights were dimming.
A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
This relaxed life wasn't bad either.
【Zi Hour, Third Quarter: Hot Post Updated on the Forum】 He clicked the link, and his pupils contracted slightly—!
An anonymous user had posted a restoration map of the Tianyong City Lantern Festival from a hundred thousand years ago. Beside the Bone Sovereign in the corner of the image stood a woman in green who looked ninety percent similar to Ning Xiwei.

...Lu Chen felt dizzy looking at this series of things!
Full marks!
Gossiping really is human nature.
I haven't fucking done anything yet!
I'm just a Little Skeleton!
It was a sleepless yet interesting night.
Morning light filtered through the gaps in the maple leaves, casting fine golden spots on the bluestone pavement.
Early this morning, Sun Feifei was squatting under the eaves of the Ancient Books Restoration Society. You might think she was using a cinnabar pen to draw some talisman on a yellow paper?
In fact, she was drawing today's livestream schedule!
"Later, I'll first show the restoration process of the 'Commentary on the Water Classic,' then do an interactive Q&A... I'm truly a Genius!"
Sun Feifei was a lively and cute young girl.
Recently, she had taken a liking to this livestreaming thing.
Suddenly, a voice sounded above Sun Feifei's head:
"The Q&A session needs to include a fireworks performance!"
Ignis suddenly hung upside down from the roof, the Balrog Bloodline tattoos on her skin shimmering with red-gold light in the dawn.
A flicker of flame popped from her fingertip, precisely lighting the wind chime at the corner of the eaves; the bronze bell immediately played a soft melody.
Ning Xiwei emerged from the corridor holding a bone-china cup, still yawning.
Because of the previous battles, many ancient books needed restoration recently.
This responsibility naturally fell onto their shoulders.
Actually, it was mainly the Academy coming to beg Lu Chen.
Lu Chen took the benefits and directed the girls to do it.
Ning Xiwei's book of the dead floated by her side, its pages turning automatically to show the tasks for today.
Hearing that her Best Friend was going to livestream again, Ning Xiwei didn't have any objections.
Her Best Friend liked to get in touch with all sorts of novel things.
She had been like that since they were little.
But as soon as she heard Ignis was going to participate,
Thinking of this impulsive and fiery girl,
Ning Xiwei immediately became alert and kindly reminded her:
"You must strictly forbid student Ignis from touching flammable cultural relics!"
Behind her followed three skeleton attendants carrying tea and snacks. The glutinous rice cakes on the tray lay quietly to the rhythm of the music 'Guangling San' playing in the room.
The current Ning Xiwei could summon a Skeleton Legion.
Although they were all mindless summons,
And at most a few dozen ordinary Skeleton Soldiers,
It was enough to show that Ning Xiwei had reached the strength of a sixth-rank Necromancer.
The girls' strength was all increasing.
This was also good news for Lu Chen.
Shelley controlled a swarm of ice crystal drones to sweep across the courtyard, forming the words "Welcome to the Ancient Books Restoration" in mid-air.
This quiet girl was also integrating into this small team of only girls.
And they were all girls centered around Lu Chen!
One heart and one mind.
When it was actually time for the livestream,
Lu Chen was also dragged along.
According to Sun Feifei's idea, they could restore ancient records from the primordial era during the livestream!
Lu Chen felt this girl was just too lively!
Comparable to a yellow sponge from the deep sea.
Morning Dew adjusted the reflector enhanced by Holy Light magic. Her nun's veil fluttered slightly in the breeze from the window. "Brother Lu, is this angle okay?"
Lu Chen was being pressed in front of a mirror by a stylist to arrange his Hanfu.
In his hands, he toyed with an ancient cultural relic, a jade butterfly, that needed restoration.
As soon as the livestream preview appeared, the screen was instantly flooded with comments:
【User 9527】: Was that Living Jade that just flew by?!
【Archaeology Enthusiast】: That's an imitation of the Jade Cicada unearthed from the Mount Li Han Tombs!
【Flame Tower Sightseeing Group】: Is the Young Miss wearing a limited skin today?
...Countless comments poured in.
Lu Chen suddenly caught a glimpse of the viewer count in the livestream room, and his mouth twitched!
—Holy shit, thirty million people in less than a second?
And it was still rapidly increasing!
---
"Three, two, one, we're live!"
Sun Feifei's peach wood sword picked up an opening Talismanic Incantation, and a phantom of the 'Lantingji Xu' appeared amidst a shower of gold dust.
Ignis suddenly squeezed in front of the camera, her flaming red dress brushing past the inkstone. She coughed lightly to clear her throat and interacted enthusiastically:
"Watch closely, bros! This was personally written by Xu Fu..."
The bamboo slips in her hand suddenly spontaneously combusted. Lu Chen was quick to act, splashing leftover tea to extinguish the fire.
Ignis was still not good at controlling the power brought by her Bloodline!
Lu Chen covered his face and sighed!
The comments scrolled frantically:
【User 666】: That tea-splashing move just now was so cool!
【Daoist Sect Noob】: Restoring that tea stain is worth at least three million Spirit Stones!
【Gossip Crowd】: The Young Miss's ears are red!
Ning Xiwei stepped into the frame at the right time. A white-boned skeleton held tea sets and performed the art of tea whisking. "This is the Tang Dynasty tea-boiling method restored according to the 'Classic of Tea'... Today, we are going to restore an ancient book about an ancient Saint who entered the Dao through tea and achieved Ascension to the Upper Realm."
Before she could finish, Ignis grabbed the teacup and downed it in one go, so hot that she kept sticking out her tongue.
The fiery girl even complained: 'Tea really is bitter!'
Shelley silently pushed over some chilled plum syrup.
A wave of [I ship it] comments drifted across the screen.
Morning Dew's Holy Light camera turned toward the corner of the courtyard, accompanied by her gentle voice as she introduced:
"Next, we will demonstrate the dust removal process for ancient books..."
An exclamation from Sun Feifei came from off-camera.
Lu Chen was seen holding a feather duster and lightly sweeping the Incomplete Manual of the classic of mountains and seas. The dust kicked up transformed into miniature exotic beasts galloping in the beams of light.
The comments were instantly flooded with [AWSL]!
