Chapter 158: You Need to Possess Certain Skills When You Are Outside

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

True enough, there was a problem.

Lu Ming’s expression was cold.

When he first saw Jiang Feng, he felt that something was amiss. Afterward, he deliberately used ‘There is a life in Xiaobai’ to aggravate him. He then discovered the problem…

Although Jiang Feng exposed his aura and energy, his entire body exuded a strange and mysterious feel.

Especially—

That faint smell of blood!

Thud.

Lu Ming landed on the floor gently.

Looking around, he did not see anyone in the bedroom. However…

Soft sounds seemed to be coming from the living room. Lu Ming walked over gingerly and was instantly stunned by a scene.

Over there…

Jiang Feng was lying in a pool of blood.

Of course.

Lu Ming had already expected this. However, he was surprised that Old Jiang was still diligently healing himself although he had already fallen.

Well…

It seemed that his body had been blasted.

His organs were severely damaged. Old Jiang had needles and thread in his hands and was working very hard to stitch up some of his organs…

Lu Ming could not regain his senses for a long time.

Crap!

Old Jiang even had such skills?

Coughing weakly, Jiang Feng peered at Lu Ming. “I knew it… I can’t hide this from you… Hey, how did you know that I’m injured?”

Lu Ming was silent.

Wasn’t that expected?

Forget it if he was an ordinary Card Creator. However, Old Jiang was someone who had people chasing after his life all the time. It could not be that he didn’t realize that Xiaobai and him appeared in the bedroom?

Unless…

He was not there at all!

Lu Ming was certain that he rushed back at the eleventh hour.

He had guessed that Old Jiang wanted to hide his severe condition from Xiaobai but did not expect him to be that seriously injured!

“Can I be of any help?”

Lu Ming’s voice was low.

“Do you know how to sew?”

Jiang Feng asked, “Stitch up that intestine of mine.”

Lu Ming was silent.

He really did not have such a professional skill.

“Learn it in the future.”

Jiang Feng sighed. “You will understand after you become a father. Cooking, sewing… You need to know everything…”

“I can get Xiaobai to learn then,” Lu Ming said earnestly.

Jiang Feng glanced at Lu Ming. “If I could move, I would beat you to death now.”

“Hehe.

Lu Ming smiled but said nothing.

Precisely, I dare to say this because you can’t move.

“Go to that drawer and get me a red thread,” Jiang Feng said weakly.

As he spoke, he pinched and severed a piece of thread in his hands seriously.

“Does the material of the thread make a difference?”

Lu Ming grew solemn.

Sure enough.

Different professions are different worlds.

Look, you need different kinds of thread to stitch up the intestines…

“No,” Jiang Feng casually said, “It’s just that the colors are a bit off. Using black thread to stitch up the intestines doesn’t look nice. The colors don’t match. Fortunately, you came.”

There was a look of bewilderment on Lu Ming’s face.

Damn!

The situation is already as such and you’re still thinking about whether the colors match?!

Hey, you’re stitching up your intestines, okay!

“Why did you prepare black thread then?”

Lu Ming resisted the strong urge to strangle him to death.

“Black makes me look slimmer.”

Jiang Feng’s expression was calm.

Lu Ming was silent.

Suddenly, he did not feel like saving this guy.

It was already a crisis of life and death. Yet, he was still thinking about these things!

He felt very worried about Xiaobai.

How did this child survive over the years?

“Don’t worry. I won’t die.”

Lying in the pool of blood, Jiang Feng seemed very calm. “To you, this may be a life and death moment but me, I’m already used to it.

When you’re used to it… Naturally, your mind will be occupied with something else.”

Furthermore…

That person may be watching.

I, Jiang Feng, will not… let her look down on me…”

Jiang Feng gritted his teeth.

Eh?

Lu Ming’s heart jumped a beat.

That person…

Was someone watching him in secret?

Buzz—

Suddenly, there was a glow in Jiang Feng’s body.

Lu Ming jumped in shock before he noticed a magical ball of light appearing in Jiang Feng’s body. It was glimmering constantly like a firefly.

Buzz—

Buzz—

Lights glimmered.

That ball of light was releasing a faint aura.

The wounds in Jiang Feng’s body were actually healing at an amazing speed.

Jiang Feng spewed a mouthful of blood. “Did you see that… As long as I stitch it up, it will begin to heal on its own… It’s because that person left something in my body…”

“Hehe. That woman…”

Jiang Feng’s voice was filled with perplexing emotions.

“Xiaobai’s mother?” Lu Ming said softly.

“That’s right.”

Jiang Feng was very emotional.

Who else could it be besides her?

That woman…

Might be watching him via this thing…

Heh.

How could he let her look down on him?

“Xiaobai’s mother…”

Lu Ming was deep in thoughts.

Jiang Feng, that woman, something left behind in his body…

“Did both of you exchange your positions?”

Lu Ming was surprised.

Jiang Feng cast Lu Ming an unfriendly gaze. “When I recover, I will definitely give you a beating.”

Lu Ming coughed.

Let’s talk about it when you recover. You’re already so weak. Don’t act tough anymore.

Buzz—

Buzz—

That ball of light was helping him to recover.

“You’re aware that someone is after my life?” Jiang Feng said in a low voice.

“Yes.”

Lu Ming nodded slightly.

“Your sister tells you everything.”

Jiang Feng glanced at him.

Hehe.

Lu Ming did not explain.

It’s so good to have a sister. She can be my scapegoat for everything.

“This time… The enemy is quite formidable.”

The energy in Jiang Feng’s body was struggling to circulate. The intestine that had just healed ruptured again. Seemingly, something was hindering it from recovering. It looked very ghastly.

“Are you alright?”

Lu Ming was a little worried.

“Don’t worry. I won’t die… I’ve killed that guy.”

Jiang Feng took a deep breath.

He wanted to recover but could not stop himself from spewing another mouthful of blood.

This blood…

Lu Ming took a glance.

He was surprised to discover a trace of purple in the blood spewed by Jiang Feng and there seemed to be purple energy circulating in his body.

Click!

The ball of light seemed to be in a confrontation with the purple energy.

Oh.

Lu Ming understood a little now. These guys were the ones who injured Jiang Feng gravely?

In that case…

Perhaps…

An idea came to Lu Ming’s mind. He fished out a Meltdown Card and cast it on the purple energy, attempting to absorb it.

Shush!

A surge of energy disappeared into the air!

Afterward, Jiang Feng’s condition seemingly improved.

It was effective!

Lu Ming felt energized.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

One by one, Meltdown Cards flashed and actually wiped away a lot of that energy. He only stopped when he could not meltdown a remaining trace of purple energy that had integrated with the body.

Buzz—

Buzz—

Jiang Feng’s healing speed accelerated significantly.

After a long time…

He opened his eyes gradually.

“Thank you.”

Jiang Feng was somewhat surprised.

He had thought that he would need a long time to recover and would not be able to hang on until the next assassination. Unexpectedly, Lu Ming had such tools!

This child…

“I owe you a favor.”

Jiang Feng sighed deeply.

Regarding Xiaobai, he really owed Lu Ming a huge favor this time.

“It’s okay.”

Lu Ming did not seem bothered.

“If you encounter any trouble in the future, I will help you once.”

Jiang Feng’s expression was solemn. However, upon finishing his words, he quickly realized something. Pausing for a moment, he emphasized, “It’s not valid for seven-star and above.”

Lu Ming wore a dumbstruck expression. How could I possibly provoke a seven-star?

“Hehe.”

Jiang Feng only gave a friendly smile.

Seven-star…

He would believe it if this guy were to provoke a nine-star!

He was too good at stirring up trouble!

He heard that the Lunar Shadow legacy was demolished. He knew who did that without a doubt.

However, he had really wronged Lu Ming this time. Lu Ming had only caused the island to disintegrate. Miss Xiaoqing was the one who sank the island…

Buzz—

Lights and shadow flashed in his hands.

Even his energy had a tinge of faint purple now…

“I can’t make those go away.”

Lu Ming sighed.

“I know.”

Jiang Feng nodded slightly. “The curse has entered my body… I don’t think I will recover in a short time. I need to leave this place and go into hiding and take the chance to recover my body.”

His external injuries had recovered but his internal injuries were more serious!

Especially—

The purple curse that had integrated with his body!

He had to resolve this as soon as possible.

“Understood.”

Lu Ming said in a low voice, “I will take good care of Xiaobai.”

Jiang Feng was speechless.

You’re the one that I’m worried about, okay?!

He did not know what this guy did to make Xiaobai become that smitten with him. That girl could not stop talking about Lu Ming. As the father, he felt so jealous.

At the rate that this was developing…

Should he get Xiaobai’s grandfather to take care of her?

However, would Xiaobai listen to him?

Forget it.

Jiang Feng sighed.

He would leave it to fate.

Anyway, Xiaobai was still young. This was something that he needed to worry about in a few years’ time… However, if their relationship were to become stable upon reaching adulthood, wouldn’t it be more difficult to separate them?

Sigh.

It was so worrisome…

Furthermore, Lu Ming’s elder sister had such a strong character. He did not know if she and Xiaobai could get along…

There were also matters concerning future generations. Given Lu Ming’s identity, he could not possibly bear his family’s surname. Most probably, they even had to bear the surname ‘Lu’ in the future, and he could not even pass on the Jiang family bloodline. This was also a troublesome issue…

Also…

Lu Ming this guy was too good looking.

Such a pretty boy.

It was easy for him to attract unwanted female attention!

He had heard Xiaobai mention that some women already went to the shop…

It was awful.

What if he were to bully Xiaobai in the future?

Xiaobai was too foolish. She might even help to count the money that she was sold for…

Sigh.

His head hurt at the thought of this.

Perhaps he should beat him to death now?

Sigh.

This was not a bad idea.

“Principal?”

Lu Ming saw Jiang Feng’s face turning pale intermittently. He could not decipher his thoughts.

Obviously…

He would not know that the noble Comrade Principal, as a single father, already had countless ideas flashing across his mind due to worries about his daughter’s relationship problems…

Including numerous options on how to annihilate Lu Ming without being found out…

“It’s alright.”

Jiang Feng sighed deeply.

Forget it.

The younger generations will turn out fine even when left on their own.

Furthermore, with Lu Ming taking care of Xiaobai, he could also do certain things that were appropriate to do so earlier.

For example—

That incident.

“Take good care of her.”

Jiang Feng reminded, “I know you don’t like to attend classes. I will get you a cultivating trainee place when I’m back.”

Oh?

Lu Ming’s heart jumped a beat.

The so-called cultivating trainee could access all the school benefits without attending classes and taking exams. Most importantly, they could participate in some special activities!

You could understand it in this way: A cultivating trainee was a special path that the higher-ups custom-made for geniuses!

You don’t need to take the usual route!

You can cultivate your own way!

As long as…

You can become more powerful.

For example, something like the Lunar Shadow legacy site. If it was reopened, the priority would be given to the cultivating trainees. It also applied to various kinds of Mystic Realms and so on…

After confirming the safety of the place, the cultivating trainees would always be given the priority.

Because numerous benefits came with it!

Hence, the quota for cultivating trainee places was very precious.

Even The First Academy did not have many places.

Lu Ming really did not expect that this mere vocational technical college at the crossroads would have one…

Oh.

It was no wonder that others would look for trouble.

If the quota was fixed and the college did not have any, wouldn’t this vacancy be available then?

Tsk tsk.

Look, people nowadays are so evil.

The matter about the school…

On the surface, it seemed like a simple case of reporting an incident. Unexpectedly, someone had already schemed well. Most probably, he would not find out why even after someone had done him in.

“The school…”

Lu Ming felt that it was better to tell him about that matter.

“I will speak to the school about this,” Jiang Feng interrupted and said confidently, “Don’t worry. You are deserving of this.”

“It’s not regarding this.”

Lu Ming sighed. “What I mean is… If you don’t intervene soon, the school will be gone.”

“Huh?”

Jiang Feng looked dumbstruck.

…
