34: He was so regretful!

Even!

Dissatisfaction toward Ning Xiwei began to grow in his heart!

How could this precious, pure life energy be wasted like this!

It should all be given to him, Liu Huifeng!

No.

Liu Huifeng thought to himself while experiencing the suffocating sensation of being near death.

Ning Xiwei is too kind-hearted.

She is easily morally kidnapped by him, and just as easily swayed by others.

He must keep a constant eye on her; once he discovers that her Little Skeleton has any life energy left, he must squeeze it out for her at the first opportunity!

Infuse it all into himself!

Fertile water must never flow into an outsider's field!

With the support of such powerful life energy, his Realm would surely advance by leaps and bounds!

Immediately.

Liu Huifeng's gaze toward Ning Xiwei and Lu Chen was as if he were looking at his own private property.

At this time.

Hearing Liu Huifeng's somewhat sour and implicitly commanding tone toward Ning Xiwei.

The Chiyang High-ranking Officials all began to feel quite displeased,

"Liu Huifeng, show some respect to Lady Ning!"

"Keep your mouth clean!"

"Disrespect Lady Ning, and I will surely kill you."

Among them, someone also shook their head,

"This guy is Lady Ning's Principal; he's narrow-minded, so be careful he doesn't speak ill of you in front of Lady Ning."

"So what if he speaks ill!"

"Lady Ning is willing to share such precious life energy with me; my life belongs to Lady Ning!"

"This fellow Liu Huifeng clearly has ill intentions; I'd rather Lady Ning didn't save him."

"Right, don't save this greedy old geezer, let him die!"

Some were dissatisfied, while others feared Liu Huifeng would retaliate against them after he recovered.

Hearing many Chiyang High-ranking Officials start to criticize him and advise Ning Xiwei to abandon him.

Liu Huifeng immediately grew anxious.

Enduring the suffocation and the stinging pain throughout his body, he said,

"Student Ning, back in school, there were people who didn't want to give you the Outstanding Student evaluation; it was the Principal who stepped up to protect your status as an Outstanding Student.

Without the Principal, Student Ning's life would have been much harder.

People should be grateful.

Save the Principal."

Liu Huifeng wailed in complaint.

Sun Feifei glared,

"Xiwei, don't listen to him, this guy is both wicked and stupid."

Ning Xiwei's eyes flickered slightly.

Liu Huifeng's actions and rhetoric filled her with immense disgust.

From the bottom of her heart, she did not want to save him.

But he was now a person heavily injured and on the brink of death.

She couldn't just stand by and watch someone die in front of her.

She hoped she could do something.

Just like when she was a young child, fainting from hunger on the street, and someone handed her a bowl of thin porridge and a piece of cotton cloth.

She also wanted to be such a person.

"Little Skeleton..."

Kind Little Girl.

There is nothing wrong with kindness.

But.

It depends on the person.

Stupid Little Girl, wake up.

The Little Skeleton shook its head and then sat down cross-legged.

Clearly, it was refusing to save Liu Huifeng.

"Good!"

"Wonderful!"

"Someone like Liu Huifeng, who treats Lady Ning like a fool, deserves to die!"

The Chiyang High-ranking Officials felt incomparably gratified at this moment.

Seeing that Lu Chen was no longer paying attention to her.

Ning Xiwei also knew that Lu Chen was unwilling.

Actually.

Through the contract in her mind closely linked to Lu Chen.

Ning Xiwei knew that if she just pleaded with Lu Chen a little more, he would surely soften his heart.

But the person she was least willing to force was Lu Chen.

And.

When Lu Chen refused to save Liu Huifeng.

A trace of refreshment actually bubbled up in her heart.

Before she could even process it.

"That's more like it!"

Sun Feifei pulled Ning Xiwei into a hug.

"Student Ning, hurry and make your Little Skeleton save me!"

It turned out that Lu Chen's repeated approaches were merely to torture him; he had no intention of saving him at all.

Ning Xiwei did not look at him again.

Liu Huifeng panicked instantly.

The frantic sensation of blood draining away and the heavy suffocation of being unable to breathe filled him with absolute terror.

He mustered all his strength and shouted,

"Student Ning, think more of the school's kindness!

Think of the Principal's kindness.

The reason you are where you are today, and have such a powerful Little Skeleton, is all because of me, the Principal!

It was I who had you publicly contract a spirit that you were able to contract the Little Skeleton!

You should be grateful to me!"

Following these words, a wave of boos erupted from the Chiyang High-ranking Officials.

"How shameless!"

"If I recall correctly, after Lady Ning contracted the Little Skeleton, this 'beloved' Principal didn't say a single word and just left with a cold face!"

"Not only that, I heard several times that he publicly distanced himself from Lady Ning."

"Distance himself? That wasn't just distancing, it was clearly public insults against Lady Ning, saying she was the shame of Chiyang First High School and brought disgrace to his school!"

Liu Huifeng's eyes were already blurred beyond recognition.

His vision began to fail.

His sense of taste, smell, and even his perception of the world were all fading away.

He.

Was about to die!

"Ning Xiwei, you ungrateful wretch!"

"You're shameless!"

"You're watching someone die without helping!"

Liu Huifeng vented his rage.

Dozens of seconds later, he gradually lost all sound and breath.

He could no longer feel the pain.

He only felt light as a feather, beginning to ascend.

At this moment.

A rich emotion sprouted in his heart; it seemed he had finally understood.

Ning Xiwei really is kind-hearted.

If it were anyone else, she surely would have pleaded with the Little Skeleton to save them.

He shouldn't have been snobbish.

He shouldn't have treated Ning Xiwei like a fool!

A pure and kind heart should be protected.

He was the Principal.

He was supposed to be the one the children from the slums relied on.

He had become worldly and cynical.

He regretted it.

Forget it.

This is retribution.

He deserved it!

His Soul drifted into mid-air, opened its eyes, and looked toward Ning Xiwei, murmuring in his heart:

I hope everything goes well for you.

He looked toward a certain direction in the city with immense attachment.

With a soft sigh.

He vanished without a trace... Imperial Capital, Prime Minister's Residence.

Inside the Hall of Spirit Nurturing.

An old man in a white robe sat cross-legged, concentrating his mind and calming his breath.

"Imperial Prime Minister."

A middle-aged man in a black robe stepped into the hall, knelt on one knee, and lowered his head, saying,

"The Young Master died in Chiyang City."

The white-robed old man was silent for a moment before opening his eyes, which were as calm as an ancient well,

"Exterminate the city."

"Imperial Prime Minister, Chiyang City has a population of 510,000, with over three thousand Professionals."

"If the city is destroyed, His Majesty will surely be furious."

"No matter."

"Imperial Prime Minister, please reconsider. The Great General of the State will surely take advantage of His Majesty's fury to attack you, causing a rift between His Majesty and yourself to gain benefits.

According to my knowledge, the Great General of the State has long coveted the Sancan Fief; I fear..."

"Indeed."

The white-robed old man narrowed his eyes,

"The secret treasury of the Demigod Xiong Xi is about to open. Put in some effort and place the entrance to the treasury in Chiyang City."

"Shuang'er has nothing to do; let her go and bring back the final treasury."

Having finished speaking.

The white-robed old man closed his eyes to nurture his spirit.

"The Imperial Prime Minister is wise!"

The black-robed man bowed and retreated several steps before turning to leave the Hall of Spirit Nurturing.

Just outside the hall, he sat down cross-legged and took out an ancient Token from his waist.

"Rise!"

A projection of the Empire's map appeared.

The black-robed man pointed toward the location of Chiyang City.

"Fall!"

Suddenly.

On the map, a glimmer of pearly light ignited at the location of Chiyang City.

The black-robed man stood up and summoned a servant.

"You, go and have the Eldest Young Miss make a trip."

"Lord—Lord Hei, could someone else be sent to notify the Eldest Young Miss?"

The servant immediately threw himself at the black-robed man's feet, clutching his shoes and pleading bitterly,

"I beg Lord Hei to spare my life. I have been diligent and conscientious without the slightest negligence. I pray Lord Hei sends someone else for the task of notifying the Eldest Young Miss."

"You know?"

"I know—ah, no, I don't know!"

"It's you. Go quickly."

"Lord Hei..."

"You two, escort him to notify the Eldest Young Miss."
