32: She is the goddess of fortune!
"Thank you, Lord Skeleton, for disregarding our past grievances and saving my life!"
"From now on, Sun Qihai is at Lord Skeleton's beck and call!"
After Sun Qihai's Realm Breakthrough, he immediately knelt down to express his gratitude to Lu Chen.
When the Third-Tier Phantom Beast appeared, he feared his daughter would be implicated and immediately cut ties with Ning Xiwei.
Instead, he was severely wounded and left on the verge of death by Ye Lingxing.
Now, he was saved by Lu Chen.
At the thought of this, he was overwhelmed with shame!
He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
He felt even more fortunate that his daughter had befriended a powerful figure like Ning Xiwei.
Seeing Sun Qihai full of vitality and vigor, the Chiyang High-ranking Officials were stunned!
"I've never seen such mysterious and unpredictable methods!"
"What kind of Priest Professional am I? Compared to Lord Skeleton, I'm not even as good as trash!"
"With unparalleled strength and healing methods beyond imagination, who exactly is he!"
Having witnessed Lu Chen's method of bringing a person back to life in the blink of an eye, everyone's hearts were racing.
It turned out that a Skeleton species could also save people!
It turned out that those on the verge of death could be brought back to life!
It turned out that resurrection truly existed!
Before Lu Chen acted.
They had even looked down on Lu Chen, certain that he didn't know healing magic.
Now that they looked at it.
They were so ridiculous!
Lu Chen indeed didn't know healing!
But he could resurrect!
After all, what was the difference between Sun Qihai's hopeless, near-death state and being dead?
Therefore.
Lu Chen's action was no different from resurrection!
Previously.
Lu Chen killed the Third-Tier Phantom Beast in an instant.
They were merely in awe of Lu Chen's heaven-defying strength.
Now.
Lu Chen had saved Sun Qihai.
They viewed Lu Chen as a god!
In their hearts, they were even more fanatical about Lu Chen!
After all.
If a person's strength is unparalleled in the world.
As long as one doesn't provoke him, one can live quite well.
But a person who can bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh on bones!
One would only revere him as a deity and hold him in high esteem.
Who knows when they might need to ask him for a favor.
Furthermore!
Lu Chen possessed both!
"She truly is a girl favored by the Goddess of Luck!"
One high-ranking official looked at Ning Xiwei beside Lu Chen, his eyes full of envy.
"Favored by the Goddess of Luck? In my opinion, Ning Xiwei is simply the Reincarnation of the Goddess of Luck!"
"Who would have thought that she was just a girl who walked out of the slums?"
Not only were they extremely respectful toward Lu Chen.
Now, they lowered their posture even further toward Ning Xiwei.
In the past.
They were the high and mighty Chiyang Dignitaries.
The Geniuses in Chiyang City took pride in being noticed by them.
Now.
These formerly high and mighty Chiyang Dignitaries were competing to show their faces in front of Ning Xiwei.
Hoping this girl from the slums would pay them a bit more attention and remember their faces.
Of course, they wanted to take the initiative to talk with Ning Xiwei.
Even offer up their entire fortunes to help Ning Xiwei become a top-tier dignitary of Chiyang City.
But they didn't dare.
Ning Xiwei was the master of that Little Skeleton who had instantly killed the Third-Tier Phantom Beast and The Youngest Son of the Imperial Minister.
They were not worthy.
They could only put on a smile and show the greatest goodwill whenever Ning Xiwei's gaze drifted over.
Their flattering faces were even filled with humble fawning.
Ning Xiwei felt awkward looking at them.
These people were all big shots in the city!
That one was the Vice City Lord.
That one was the Garrison Captain!
That one was the Commander of the First Regiment!
These were people she would have found difficult to even meet before.
Now, they didn't even dare to speak to her.
All of this.
Was brought to her by the Little Skeleton.
It was so good!
If not for the Little Skeleton.
Having failed her Spirit Contract, she would have only become a plaything in the hands of these people.
At this moment.
Zhang Chi, the Commander of the Red Star Regiment, walked toward Ning Xiwei. The other Chiyang High-ranking Officials all cast startled glances.
He actually dared to approach Ning Xiwei?
He must.
He must let her save me!
Zhang Chi clutched his chest, his face pale and wretched.
His heart vessels were severed!
His Realm was also continuously dropping!
Deflecting the attack meant for The Youngest Son of the Imperial Minister had been too damaging!
At that time, he had intended to kill that demon who treated human lives like grass!
He just hadn't expected that the demon was actually The Youngest Son of the Imperial Minister!
That strike had been his Peak!
To deflect the attack, he had forcefully snapped his own heart vessels!
The Youngest Son of the Imperial Minister was dead!
The Imperial Prime Minister would surely be furious!
The flames of war would inevitably spread to his brothers and sisters!
His body could no longer hold out!
No.
He had to keep one last breath to arrange things for his brothers and sisters!
*Thump~*
Zhang Chi knelt before Ning Xiwei and said in a low voice,
"I beg Young Miss Ning to save my life!"
"I am willing to offer up all my possessions!"
Ning Xiwei could sense Zhang Chi's continuously falling Realm and his withered aura.
She was kind-hearted and was about to agree to treat him for free.
Suddenly.
"Student Ning Xiwei, I am the Principal, I am Principal Liu."
The extremely weak Principal exerted all his strength to catch Ning Xiwei's attention.
He had also been struck by Ye Lingxing's blade, but because his cultivation was higher, his injuries were slightly lighter than Sun Qihai's.
But he was also on the verge of death.
Only with the treatment of several Priest Professionals did he gain a sliver of strength.
But he only had this last sliver of strength left to settle his final affairs.
He had also seen the scene of Lu Chen saving Sun Qihai.
Those miraculous methods!
As long as he could persuade Ning Xiwei, he wouldn't have to die!
"Student Ning, you still remember the school's help to you, right? Every year, I personally handed the scholarship to you on behalf of the school.
Knowing you came from a poor background, I never let the school charge you tuition.
I even notified the school to let you use the practice fields for free."
"Nurturing you all into talents is my greatest wish.
Now seeing Student Ning become a talent, my heart is filled with joy.
Now that I'm dying, Student Ning wouldn't want to watch me die with your own eyes, would you?
The impoverished students in the school are still waiting for me to go back and help them.
You wouldn't want to disappoint the impoverished students in the school either, would you?
Student Ning, just have your skeleton save me.
The Principal thanks you!"
After this speech.
Ning Xiwei's expression became somewhat unsightly.
She indeed hadn't paid tuition, had indeed received scholarships, and had indeed used the practice fields.
But those were all treatments for outstanding students!
"Xiwei, your Principal is using moral kidnapping on you again!"
"Last time he morally kidnapped you into a public Spirit Contract!
This time he's morally kidnapped you to save him!"
"Feifei, I did take the school's scholarship."
"Are you stupid, Xiwei? If you changed schools, you would still get free tuition and scholarships!
Any school would give these benefits to outstanding students!
Your Principal is simply shameless!"
Sun Feifei said indignantly.
"Sigh."
Although Ning Xiwei was dissatisfied, she still couldn't bear it.
She looked at Lu Chen.
Ning Xiwei whispered,
"Little Skeleton, if possible, please save them."
Seeing Ning Xiwei's expression, the Principal knew he was safe.
His life was preserved!
Ning Xiwei's kindness was her weakness; with a bit of moral pressure, she would obediently listen.
He was about to be personally treated by the Little Skeleton.
Thinking about it, he was truly looking forward to it.
That incredibly pure life energy was truly mouth-watering!
His whole body was craving that pure life energy.
He didn't expect.
That he could turn a misfortune into a blessing.
Maybe after being infused with that pure life energy, he could even take the opportunity to Breakthrough to the Fourth-Tier and surpass his Peak!
He could even manipulate Ning Xiwei a bit more to have Lu Chen pour more pure life energy into him.
In that case, his Realm Breakthrough would be guaranteed!
Looking at the approaching Little Skeleton.
A smile bloomed on his face.
