Chapter 570: Ah, This Damn World (Second Update, Requesting Everything)

"Ah, what has come over me?"

After Luo Xiaoman finished speaking, she realized what she had said, but she did not retract her words; instead, she looked at Li Zhangsheng with eyes like peach blossoms, filled with anticipation.

Her relationship with Luo Qingning was far closer than that of Luo Jingfei, a distant niece, and she could be said to have grown up with a silver spoon in her mouth.

Luo Xiaoman's mother was the niece of the 'Butterfly King' Luo Qingning, making her a grand-niece; when she was young, her parents passed away in an accident, and she was eventually taken in by Luo Qingning and cared for like a biological granddaughter.

During the previous Academy Exchange Tournament, Luo Xiaoman, who had just become a Monster Tamer, came to watch in person every day and was easily captivated after seeing Li Zhangsheng.

Most women are superficial; they like handsome appearances, especially at Luo Xiaoman's age.

Just like most women, at first sight, Luo Xiaoman felt a fondness for Li Zhangsheng, and after seeing Li Zhangsheng's performance at the Academy Exchange Tournament, she was even more awestruck.

Li Zhangsheng, still a first-year student, defeated strong enemies one after another; especially in the battle against Tiandu Academy, he moved as if through uninhabited territory, sweeping from the first year all the way to the fourth year.

When facing the Royal Academy, he similarly tore through the first and second years, only to be exhausted to death in the end because his teammates were too much like pigs.

Hmm, in Luo Xiaoman's eyes, besides Li Zhangsheng, everyone else from Yuanling Academy who took the field were pig-like teammates, including the already graduated Miao Yinfeng and Ding Dangmao.

It was precisely out of admiration for Li Zhangsheng that Luo Xiaoman flatly rejected her great-aunt Luo Qingning's Royal Academy and resolutely chose Yuanling Academy.

As a price, Luo Xiaoman's resources were cut in half by Luo Qingning, but even this half was far beyond that of ordinary Heavenly Prides; after all, these were resources given by an Emperor Rank.

Regarding the choice made by her grand-niece, Luo Qingning was beyond helpless; she was a dignified Emperor Rank and the Principal of the Royal Academy, yet she could not persuade her stubborn-mule-like grand-niece, and in the end, she could only helplessly agree to her choice. Not only was she aiding the enemy, but she was using the resources she herself had provided.

For a freshman like Luo Xiaoman who was personally cared for by an Emperor Rank, her Demon Pet naturally possessed immense potential, with a growth rate even exceeding those of the Princes of the Imperial Family who were held in high regard.

But also because of Luo Qingning, including Xu Wenhua, no one dared to take her as a student to avoid misunderstandings, and she was eventually taken in by a Fifth Rank female Instructor.

In the young girl's heart, she already had an extremely high level of favor for Li Zhangsheng, and now that Li Zhangsheng had become her savior, the young girl's favor could be said to have exploded to the peak.

What Luo Xiaoman did not know was that even if Li Zhangsheng had not saved her, the jade pendant worn around her neck would have saved her life, but she was unaware of this.

This was a life-saving piece of equipment given to her by Luo Qingning; it would activate whenever Luo Xiaoman encountered danger, and to prevent Luo Xiaoman from courting death, Luo Qingning had not told her.

Li Zhangsheng did not feel happy; instead, he felt a massive headache. He had encountered too many similar situations; just using the analogy of roasting by a fire in winter with love letters was enough to illustrate Li Zhangsheng's popularity.

This was also one of the reasons why he often went into seclusion.

"Sorry, I already have someone I like!"

Li Zhangsheng still decided to tell the truth, cutting the Gordian knot to prevent the young girl from falling too deep.

He did not want to be a scumbag, and he was too lazy to waste time on this.

Most importantly, Li Zhangsheng truly had someone he liked.

"Ah!"

Suffering a face-to-face rejection from Li Zhangsheng, Luo Xiaoman was clearly struck; she opened her small mouth unconsciously, her eyes dull and lifeless, and then it was replaced by sorrow and pain.

As a heaven-favored girl with looks, talent, and a background, Luo Xiaoman naturally had no shortage of pursuers, her parents treated her like a treasure, and Luo Qingning treated her like a granddaughter; she had never suffered such a severe blow.

To put it in one sentence, she was completely stunned!

"Waaah!"

Grief welled up in Luo Xiaoman's heart, and she began to sob, her body trembling uncontrollably, causing the pair of apples stuffed inside her clothes to sway up, down, left, and right.

"Time is precious, we should go find the others; they might be in danger!"

While speaking, Li Zhangsheng summoned the black dragon once again.

Aixi was too proud; let alone carrying Luo Xiaoman, you couldn't even get Luo Xiaoman to grab its thigh.

The black dragon was much better, but the pride of a giant dragon also rejected the willingness to carry Luo Xiaoman, choosing to use a Dragon Claw instead.

With the black dragon's massive size, the Dragon Claw was like a small house, completely usable as a platform.

Seeing such a large black dragon, Luo Xiaoman was clearly stunned for a moment, which stopped her crying, and she looked at the behemoth in front of her with teary eyes.

"I won't give up!"

Luo Xiaoman wiped away her tears and jumped straight onto the black dragon's outstretched Dragon Claw; she decided to investigate who had snatched her male god after reuniting with the other companions.

Li Zhangsheng shook his head with amusement and said nothing more, because he knew that saying more was useless, and it was better not to say anything at all.

Under Li Zhangsheng's command, Aixi and the black dragon flew rapidly toward the second light spot.

In the northern zone, Zhang Yi had temporarily separated from Yuan Yongyan to search for their own personnel within the general area.

"Help, help!"

Suddenly, Zhang Yi vaguely heard a cry for help, subconsciously thinking that one of his teammates had encountered danger, and hurriedly drove his Demon Pet to rush toward the direction the sound came from.

When he saw the person, Zhang Yi realized his judgment was wrong; the other party was a Second Rank female disciple of the Tiantai Sect, who was currently being pursued by three Elite-level Titan Pythons.

Like Yuanling Academy, the Tiantai Sect had also recently sent a team to explore the Secret Realm, only the Tiantai Sect had arrived earlier.

Although they were not teammates, Zhang Yi still chose to help; among the five major forces, Yuanling Academy had already formed an alliance with the Tiantai Sect, and the two sides were allies.

With Zhang Yi's strength as a Third-rank Royal Beast Master, solving three Titan Pythons was naturally a piece of cake, and he finished up quickly.

The Tiantai Sect female disciple patted her chest, which had no waves at all, in lingering fear, and looking at the Thunder God Mouth Zhang Yi, she was so scared that she reorganized her words and said: "For the grace of saving my life, young master, this little woman has nothing of value; I can only serve as an ox or a horse in the next life, or tie grass and carry rings to repay your great kindness."

The Tiantai Sect female disciple meant that she would remember his kindness, but she had nothing good on her, so he must not have any designs on her.

Zhang Yi was expressionless; he had encountered this kind of thing several times already. Every time it was serving as an ox or a horse, tying grass and carrying rings; there were even those who made statues to worship him daily, and one even wanted to be his mother in the next life, but not a single one was willing to offer herself.

Ah, this damn world!

While Zhang Yi was filled with righteous indignation, he became even more eager for Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures like the Jun Grass that could improve one's appearance.
