25: Surprise! A giant experience baby!

"What spendthrift skeleton?"

Ning Xiwei turned her head in confusion.

The several 'Spirit Crystal Necklaces' hanging around her neck clinked together with a crisp sound.

"Look, see for yourself!"

Sun Feifei, looking so heartbroken she could hardly breathe, pointed at Lu Chen's bare, spotless skeleton.

"Your spendthrift Little Skeleton threw away all our money!"

As she spoke, she gestured toward the Spirit Crystal Necklaces around her neck and the Demonic Beast meat wrapped around her waist.

Huh?

It's really gone?

Wasn't the Little Skeleton quite cooperative before?

It had taken the initiative to hang the Spirit Crystal Necklaces and Demonic Beast meat on its frame.

Now it's gone?

Ning Xiwei was stunned, her Face filled with confusion.

She didn't believe the Little Skeleton would throw them away.

Unless there was a reason.

Haha.

This silly, cute Little Girl's little brain must be about to fry!

Lu Chen couldn't help but feel amused.

He walked over leisurely.

Sun Feifei turned her Face away in a huff.

Ning Xiwei's large, round, brilliant eyes flickered.

Then.

Lu Chen pinched a Spirit Crystal Necklace from Ning Xiwei's neck.

Swish!

It vanished.

Ah?

Ning Xiwei was dazed and hadn't reacted yet.

The three or four Spirit Crystal Necklaces around her neck disappeared into Lu Chen's hand.

Next was the two pieces of Demonic Beast meat she was carrying on her small shoulders.

Swish, swish!

They also vanished without a trace.

Ah?

Ning Xiwei's little head simply couldn't process it.

"You, you, you..."

Sun Feifei pointed at Lu Chen, speechless.

Lu Chen glanced at her.

With a wave of his hand.

The Spirit Crystal Necklaces around Sun Feifei's neck and the Demonic Beast meat wrapped around her waist vanished with a swish.

"Ahhh, where did they go! Those were all money!"

Sun Feifei wanted to question Lu Chen but was afraid of his strength.

Ning Xiwei also looked at Lu Chen in confusion, her big eyes blinking.

So cute.

Lu Chen's upper and lower jawbones moved as he chuckled, "ka-ka."

With a wave of his skeletal palm.

Three Spirit Crystal Necklaces appeared.

With another wave.

Another seven or eight pieces of Demonic Beast meat appeared.

And another wave.

Five more Spirit Crystal Necklaces appeared on top of the Demonic Beast meat.

"This, this, this..."

Sun Feifei was so startled she took several steps back.

Ning Xiwei's eyes lit up.

She remembered the explanation in her textbooks for objects suddenly appearing and disappearing.

It's a space item!

"Little Skeleton, you actually have a space item!"

Ning Xiwei remembered the textbook describing space items as ultra-rare items that only the Imperial Royal Family could possess!

She didn't expect.

Her Little Skeleton actually had one!

That's just too amazing!

At this moment, the Little Skeleton was omnipotent in her heart!

Lu Chen lightly nodded his bare skeletal head twice.

Now.

The Little Girl no longer needed to carry cold, bloody Demonic Beast meat on her shoulders.

Her body was starting to smell.

At that moment.

Ning Xiwei's eyes lit up, and she exchanged a joyful look with her Best Friend.

"Wait for me."

Ning Xiwei gave Lu Chen a sweet smile and then ran toward the back with Sun Feifei.

There was still the Demonic Beast meat and several Spirit Crystals they had painfully abandoned there.

Soon.

The two girls returned to the Little Skeleton laden with their harvest.

They held the Demonic Beast meat and the brilliant Spirit Crystals in both hands and presented them to Lu Chen.

Swish!

Lu Chen stored all their spoils into the Commander's Seal.

Ten cubic meters of space could still hold quite a lot.

Sun Feifei patted her empty hands, looked at Ning Xiwei with envy, and said sincerely,

"Xiwei, your Little Skeleton is just too versatile. Not only is it powerful and able to lead us in leveling up and killing monsters, but it's even handled the task of collecting the spoils now."

Ning Xiwei chuckled.

Her beautiful eyes squinted into crescent moons.

Lu Chen led the two girls to continue searching for dense monster spawning points.

Aside from traveling, Lu Chen didn't waste a single moment.

With the Secret Realm riot, the spawn frequency had increased dramatically.

This was a rare opportunity to earn a massive amount of attribute points.

Lu Chen had to seize it.

Ning Xiwei and Sun Feifei followed Lu Chen, whispering secrets to each other along the way.

As they talked, their Faces turned red, and they began laughing and playing again.

The atmosphere was even joyful.

But just then.

Boom-crack!

A violent sound, comparable to a thunderstorm, came from the top of the Secret Realm.

Suddenly.

At the sky of the Secret Realm, where white clouds had been layered and the sun was bright.

It now seemed like a piece of cloth being torn open, revealing a crack.

The crack was jagged and gradually grew larger!

With a sharp ripping sound!

The sky of the Secret Realm split in two!

A seven-to-eight-meter-long leopard-like creature descended from the sky!

Bang!

It crashed onto the ground like a meteor, kicking up grass clippings and dust everywhere.

"You Beast!"

"It's a You Beast!"

"It's several times larger than the previous You Beast!"

Ning Xiwei and the other girl felt like little lambs in a typhoon.

They could be swept up by the storm at any moment.

As the Third-Tier Phantom Beast landed, Ye Lingxing, Chen Shouyi, and their group approached from a distance.

Roar—

The Third-Tier Phantom Beast threw its head back and roared.

Dark, deep purple smoke rose like a tornado and then suddenly dispersed.

Surrounding everything within a one-mile radius.

The small scarlet flames in Lu Chen's eye sockets flickered tremulously.

A giant experience baby!

Good!

Lu Chen felt his hands itching for a fight.

A small experience baby could equal the gains from a thousand Secret Realm monsters.

This giant experience baby should be worth the gains of six or seven thousand Secret Realm monsters.

It was like finding a pillow just when one was getting sleepy.

While Lu Chen was rejoicing.

Two thuds.

Ning Xiwei and Sun Feifei were actually shocked into unconsciousness by the aura of the Third-Tier Phantom Beast.

"..."

Lu Chen was somewhat speechless.

As soon as the You Beast appeared, Lu Chen had released his Undead Pressure to block the You Beast's tyrannical aura.

Although he couldn't block it completely, he had stopped the vast majority of it.

In fact, only a tiny bit of the tyrannical aura had leaked through.

Sigh.

Lu Chen sighed.

He didn't expect his little master couldn't even withstand a sliver of the You Beast's tyrannical aura.

She needs training!

He couldn't let his little master continue being a salted fish.

Once the Secret Realm trip concluded, he would have to increase the intensity for the Little Girl.

Otherwise, his little master would faint as soon as they faced a slightly stronger opponent.

Wouldn't he, Lu Chen, lose Face?

The unconscious girls caught the attention of Ye Lingxing and his group.

"It really is Ning Xiwei from Chiyang First High School!"

"That Little Skeleton is the one Ning Xiwei publicly contracted from the Necrotic Abyss."

The high-level officials of Chiyang City discussed in low voices.

Meanwhile, the Principal of Chiyang Third High School, Sun Qihai, recognized his dear daughter at a glance.

She really had ended up with Ning Xiwei!

And she was standing on the opposite side of a Third-Tier Phantom Beast!

How strong was a Third-Tier Phantom Beast? It could blow a Second-Tier You Beast—unbeatable among its own tier—to death with a single breath!

How dare she stand against a You Beast!

She must have a death wish!

After looking closely, Sun Qihai breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she was only unconscious.

There was still hope!

He had to distance himself immediately.

Sun Qihai looked at the grim-faced Ye Lingxing. After a moment's hesitation, he spoke,

"Young Master Ye, that girl is my daughter. My daughter has no relation to the Little Skeleton. Please, Young Master Ye, show mercy!"

As he spoke, he prostrated himself.

For his daughter's life, he was willing to cast aside his dignity.

Ye Lingxing turned back and gave a cold smile.

"You want me to spare your daughter?"

"Young Master Ye is magnanimous."

Sun Qihai kowtowed.

"What audacity!"

Ye Lingxing unsheathed his saber and shouted in a low voice,

"To treat this young master like a blind man—you deserve to die!"

Swish!

The precious saber left its sheath, and Ye Lingxing slashed diagonally.

The cold Saber Qi directly severed Sun Qihai's right arm and then pierced through his entire chest. Blood splattered, and even his internal organs were shredded!

Sun Qihai lay on the ground, breathing more out than in, his eyes rolling back.

"And you!"

Ye Lingxing slashed at the Principal.

Ning Xiwei's Principal deserved to die too!
