Chapter 432: Child of Luck? (Combined Chapter, Requesting Everything)

~14 min read 2,641 words

Ning Bizhen said in a resentful tone, "You should have told me; I could have helped, and you wouldn't have had to worry so much!"

"Haha, you already helped! If it weren't for your Three-Legged Fire Crow and Cold Jade Rabbit, I really wouldn't have been able to catch him!"

Li Zhangsheng was speaking the truth. If he hadn't borrowed the Three-Legged Fire Crow and Cold Jade Rabbit as reinforcements, and also finished off the Four-Winged Fallen Angel and the Ice Vulture, then given the strength Cai Yangqian displayed, it would have been a question of whether he could even defeat him, let alone capture him alive.

"When you put it that way, it seems right!"

Ning Bizhen was speechless and could not refute it; in a certain sense, she had indeed contributed quite a bit of effort.

"So, I've saved a share of the spoils for you this time as well!"

While speaking, Li Zhangsheng took a Jade Ceramic Jar, a Jade Bottle, and a piece of Nishang Inner Armor out of his Space Ring.

The Jade Ceramic Jar contained the Spirit Essence of a Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast, the Jade Bottle held a Snow Soul Life-Saving Pill, and the Nishang Inner Armor had outstanding defensive capabilities; these were all things difficult to measure by value.

This time, Li Zhangsheng had obtained a total of two Snow Soul Life-Saving Pills. He kept one for himself; one of this type of Alchemical Pill was enough, and he might very well never need it in his entire life—and it was best if he never did.

"What is this?"

As Ning Bizhen spoke, she opened the seal of the Jade Ceramic Jar. Immediately, wisps of blood energy emerged from the jar, condensing into a miniature blood-colored Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast that appeared to be roaring at the sky.

"This, this is the Spirit Essence of a Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast!"

Because she was too surprised, Ning Bizhen's hands shook, and the Spirit Essence inside sloshed. Seeing that it was about to spill, she hurriedly used her Mental Power to steady it.

"This item is too precious; I cannot accept it!"

Without hesitation, Ning Bizhen wanted to return it to Li Zhangsheng.

As if he had anticipated this, Li Zhangsheng dodged first and said fiercely to Ning Bizhen, "This thing is useless to me, so just keep it. If you don't accept it, I'll just throw it away!"

Ning Bizhen fell into hesitation; she truly believed Li Zhangsheng would do just that.

"I still want to see your Green-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast evolve. If you're lucky, its quality might even rise!"

"Then I will accept it!"

Under Li Zhangsheng's persuasion, Ning Bizhen had no choice but to accept it.

As for the Snow Soul Life-Saving Pill and the Nishang Inner Armor, although these two items were also quite precious, compared to the Spirit Essence of the Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast, the difference in value was not just a little bit, so Ning Bizhen did not decline them.

"Come out, Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast!"

Ning Bizhen did not hesitate and summoned the Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast.

As if it had sensed something, the Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast's nose twitched vigorously, and it then stared straight at the Jade Ceramic Jar in Ning Bizhen's hand, revealing a greedy expression; it looked just like a pug.

Soon, the Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast took a deep breath, and the Spirit Essence in the Jade Ceramic Jar flew out, pouring continuously into the wide-open mouth of the Green-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast.

The Green-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast hurriedly lay on the ground as the Spirit Essence of the Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast began to merge into its blood, rapidly strengthening its Bloodline concentration while simultaneously transforming its body.

While the Green-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast was undergoing its transformation, Li Zhangsheng was not idle either; he summoned Adai.

Under Li Zhangsheng's command, Adai moved the Steel Cage containing the Behemoth and the iceberg freezing Di Zhuo to the open space in the backyard.

Additionally, there was an empty Steel Cage, which Li Zhangsheng had swiped from the secret chamber, mainly to imprison Di Zhuo.

However, although this specially made Steel Cage was sturdy and possessed not-so-weak Restrictions, it was still somewhat lacking if it wanted to restrain a Lord-rank Di Zhuo.

Li Zhangsheng thought for a moment and took out some precious materials from his Space Ring—most of these materials were taken from the Cai Family Treasure Pavilion—preparing to strengthen the Restrictions of the Steel Cage.

"I'll come help too!"

Ning Bizhen took the initiative to help. Her experience and techniques in refining were far superior to Li Zhangsheng's, and she could better improve the Restrictions of the Steel Cage.

In this way, Ning Bizhen took the lead, with Li Zhangsheng assisting.

After about a quarter of an hour, the two perfectly fused the smelted materials with the Steel Cage, successfully raising the strength of the Restrictions to the point where they could imprison Di Zhuo.

Clang—

After Adai shoved Di Zhuo into the Steel Cage, Li Zhangsheng closed the cage and inserted ten Elite-rank Demon Cores of different attributes into the slots one by one to activate the Restrictions.

The next moment, the ten Demon Cores lit up slightly, emitting a luster of different colors. Wisps of energy began to converge in the cage, finally turning into a thin Ten-Colored Barrier that sealed the entire cage shut.

Soon, because the iceberg was no longer receiving energy replenishment, it began to melt slowly. Di Zhuo, who had been frozen inside, suddenly opened its eyes and finally regained clarity.

Splash—

The iceberg shattered, and hundreds of ice chunks of varying sizes scattered and splashed, smashing fiercely against the Ten-Colored Barrier.

Unfortunately, the Ten-Colored Barrier only fluctuated slightly before returning to calm, displaying powerful defensive capabilities.

Di Zhuo panted a few times. Its feeling was very bad; a sense of weakness permeated its entire body. It was being suppressed by the Restrictions, and even if it fully recovered from its injuries, it was afraid it wouldn't be able to exert even thirty percent of its strength.

So many precious materials were naturally not spent in vain, especially since Ning Bizhen's refining technique was quite exquisite, allowing the Steel Cage to possess quite a few functions.

Pop—

Di Zhuo tried to ram it, but unfortunately, the Ten-Colored Barrier remained unbreakable, and wisps of electric current climbed onto its body, causing Paralysis.

This was the Paralysis function!

Roar—

Di Zhuo let out an angry roar, subconsciously wanting to unleash an energy-based skill.

Unfortunately, the Ten-Colored Restriction also possessed a magic-sealing function; the energy inside was drained, and energy from the outside could not enter through the Ten-Colored Barrier.

Di Zhuo, who could only rely on its own energy, found that even if it successfully unleashed an energy-based skill, the power was greatly reduced, and once the energy within its body was exhausted, it could not be recovered.

Di Zhuo did not give up and tried to break through the spatial barrier to escape.

However, no matter how hard Di Zhuo tried, the space inside remained without a ripple, unexpectedly stable. This was the Dimensional Anchor function, causing Di Zhuo to be unable to break through space and, naturally, unable to escape.

In the following minutes, Di Zhuo tried every means, even using its trump cards, but the result was not only failing to achieve any success, but also exhausting the energy within its body.

Seeing this scene, Li Zhangsheng was finally relieved.

Roar—

In an instant, the roar of the Green-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast rang out.

The two hurriedly looked at the Green-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast. At this moment, it had reached a critical juncture, and the Jianhua Bai Guang began to permeate, gradually covering its body.

The Green-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast began to transform; its body size grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its momentum rose even higher.

Within the span of a few breaths, the Green-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast stopped changing.

Ning Bizhen immediately checked its data; upon seeing it, she was stunned for a moment, followed immediately by a look of wild joy.

"Huh!"

Seeing Ning Bizhen's expression, Li Changsheng hurriedly released his Mental Power, and he saw a point of light like a bright moon in the sky.

Li Changsheng felt as if he had seen a ghost; he finally understood why Ning Bizhen wore such an expression.

It turned out that while the Green-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast was evolving, its quality had luckily been sublimated, successfully upgrading from Superior Quality to Peak Quality.

Such a small probability, yet it was actually encountered by Ning Bizhen.

"Could she be a Child of Luck?"

Associating this with Ning Bizhen's fortune, this thought could not help but emerge in Li Changsheng's heart.

No matter which world it is, there will always be people favored by luck; their greatest characteristic is possessing excellent fortune.

When Ning Bizhen was still a third-year student at Yuanling Academy, she inexplicably entered a space, thereby obtaining treasures such as Three-Legged Golden Crow Spirit Essence, a Top-tier Secret Technique, a Spirit Beast egg of a Cold Jade Rabbit, a Spirit Beast egg of a Giant Whale Kun, and so on, allowing her to leap to become the most outstanding student at Yuanling Academy and reach the Fifth Rank before graduation.

After graduation, Ning Bizhen became an Instructor at Yuanling Academy; not long after, an Abyss Gate appeared in Yuan Province, and she went to suppress it along with many elites from Yuanling Academy.

Unfortunately, the suppression failed, kings perished, and the Stronger fell; at that time, only a very small number of people escaped alive, among whom were He Yan and others under Ning Bizhen's protection, at the cost of the Three-Legged Fire Crow exhausting its Spirit Essence and falling into a near-death state.

A month ago, Ning Bizhen and the Three-Legged Fire Crow were about to step into death, but at this critical moment of danger, she received Li Changsheng's assistance and was finally reborn.

With the help of Li Changsheng and Yuanling Academy, Ning Bizhen turned a misfortune into a blessing; her strength quickly recovered to its peak period, and she was even a half-step away from the Sixth Rank.

And now, Ning Bizhen's Green-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast had completed an evolution and actually triggered the quality improvement mechanism, upgrading from Superior Quality to Peak Quality.

According to Li Changsheng's understanding and experience, the probability of upgrading from Superior Quality to Peak Quality during a Spirit Beast's evolution is definitely less than ten percent, yet it just happened to be encountered by Ning Bizhen.

When encountering danger, Ning Bizhen is able to turn danger into safety and turn misfortune into a blessing; coupled with the fact that her luck is not just ordinarily good, isn't this the very manifestation of being favored by luck!

Looking at Li Changsheng, his luck seems excellent, but both his special abilities and the "Book of Bloodlines" seem inseparable from his parents.

Li Changsheng's luck is no different from an ordinary person's; he has never encountered the kind of blind luck that Li Haoqiong had, where he could step on a snake and it would be a Superior Quality Spirit Beast, nor has he had the encounter of inexplicably entering a special Secret Realm like Ning Bizhen, especially since his Demon Pets have evolved many times, yet they have never received the same treatment as Ning Bizhen's.

It is just like the difference between a lucky person and an unlucky one; talking about it too much is just tears.

What is fortunate is that, luckily, Ning Bizhen is his woman!

Speaking of which, if he stays with a Child of Luck like Ning Bizhen for a long time, will Li Changsheng's luck get better?

Waiting online, it's quite urgent!

After dealing with everything, Li Changsheng carried Cai Yangqian in one hand and, together with Ning Bizhen, was about to walk toward the Rear Mountain Cemetery, which was also the place where Li Clan members were buried after death.

Creak~

Before they had left the small courtyard, the door of the room to the side opened, and Li Haoqiong and He Yan walked out, chatting and laughing.

Seeing Li Changsheng carrying an "old man," the two were stunned in unison; Cai Yangqian's changes were too great, and even Li Haoqiong did not recognize that this was Cai Yangqian.

Li Haoqiong asked suspiciously: "Changsheng, who is this?"

He Yan did not speak, holding Li Haoqiong's right arm, wanting to say something but stopping.

"Second Uncle, you are too forgetful; he is Cai Yangqian!"

"What, he is Cai Yangqian! You didn't catch the wrong person, did you? How could Cai Yangqian be this old... Huh, Fifth Rank, could this really be that dog Cai Yangqian?"

Li Haoqiong first denied it, but when he noticed the Monster Tamer rank of the "old man," he was clearly shocked.

Li Changsheng briefly explained Cai Yangqian's changes.

Hearing that Li Changsheng had defeated and captured Cai Yangqian, Li Haoqiong was clearly stunned; he knew Cai Yangqian's strength very well, because a month ago, he had been easily crushed by the other party.

Doesn't this mean that Li Changsheng could also defeat him!

Li Changsheng naturally guessed Li Haoqiong's thoughts and could not help but modestly say: "Everything depends on Bizhen's help; if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been able to defeat Cai Yangqian!"

"So that's how it is!"

Li Haoqiong did not know why, but he felt a sense of relief in his heart.

What he did not know was that Li Changsheng already had the ability to contend with him head-on.

"Old thief, you have this day too!"

After confirming it was Cai Yangqian, Li Haoqiong attacked in anger, landing a punch on Cai Yangqian's face, directly breaking his nasal bone; two streams of nosebleed gushed out, falling onto the ground in droplets.

"Ah!"

Cai Yangqian let out a miserable scream and woke up from his deep sleep; when he saw the scene before him, his expression shifted, knowing what would be waiting for him.

"Hahahaha!" Cai Yangqian let out a laugh like a hero at the end of his road; he struggled to raise his right hand, pointed at his own neck, and shouted defiantly: "Come on, hit here, if you have the ability, kill me!"

Seeing Li Haoqiong about to swing his fist again, Li Changsheng was truly afraid that Cai Yangqian would just die like this, so he hurriedly stopped Li Haoqiong.

"Second Uncle, we cannot let him off so easily."

"You are right!" Li Haoqiong returned to calm, no longer influenced by his emotions.

"Defeated loser, he is your nephew, right? You probably don't know his secret..."

Cai Yangqian wanted to tell them about the "Book of Bloodlines" and the inheritance of the Hundred Victories King, but unfortunately, before he could say it, Li Changsheng stuffed a dirty rag into his mouth.

"To save him from biting his tongue to commit suicide!"

Li Changsheng explained casually and continued to carry Cai Yangqian toward the Rear Mountain Cemetery.

Along the way, any clan members they met looked at this scene with curiosity; many clan members put down what they were doing and spontaneously followed along, wanting to watch the excitement.

Not long after, Li Changsheng arrived in front of his parents' graves.

"Kneel!"

Cai Yangqian naturally refused to kneel, and Li Changsheng was well aware of this; he kicked Cai Yangqian directly in the knee area.

Bang~

Cai Yangqian only felt his knees go soft and was forced to kneel before the graves of Li Changsheng's parents.

"Wuwuwu!"

Cai Yangqian struggled to get up, but he was forcefully pressed to the ground by Li Changsheng and could not stand up no matter what, so he had to stare at him with eyes full of malice.
