Chapter 129 - Good Fortune Comes To Good People? (1/2)
Despite the funny situation, Qiqi and the others felt a surge of warmth in their hearts.
What a good man, ignoring his own safety to save others. How many of those people could you find in the world now?
Just as they wanted to thank him properly, they saw that beastmaster covered in mud fly off to the distance, hanging under his subdued beast.
“Doing good without leaving his name, like the heroes of ancient stories!”
Admiration for their savior grew in their hearts.
In the next moment, the Purple Jade Condor returned, flying above the pond under Qiqi and the others’ startled gazes.
With a plop, the muddy man fell back into the water.
If he wanted to wash off the mud on his body, shouldn’t he find a cleaner place?
Qiqi and the others were baffled. The way their savior did things really left others confused!
Zhang Che was feeling despair at this moment. Due to the situation from earlier, he actually forgot about his backpack and bow container that had fallen into the pond along with him. There wasn’t much in his backpack, only some clothes and dry rations. It wouldn’t matter even if he lost them, but he couldn’t afford to lose the Falling Star Model X! That cost him millions!
By the time he retrieved the bow container and his backpack from the bottom of the pond and was pulled out of the water once more by the Purple Jade Condor, the beastmasters he saved were only a short distance away from the edge of the pond.
“Hello, can you tell us your name, and where you’re from?” a woman with a determined look and exquisite facial features asked nervously, looking at Zhang Che gratefully.
Zhang Che waved his hand profusely, replying, “There’s no need for that. We only happened to run into each other by chance and I gave you a hand. It’s no big deal. Um, I still have things to do. Bye everyone!”
After finishing his words, the Purple Jade Condor’s figure quickly rose, bringing Zhang Che up into the sky, disappearing from the sight of those people.
Qiqi and the others exchanged looks with each other, not knowing how to express what they were feeling at this moment.
After a short while, one of the men said, “Come on, let’s head back to the safety zone. This place is too dangerous, and we found the herbs we were looking forl. We can’t continue staying here. If we bump into some other powerful exotic beasts, there won’t be anyone saving us again.”
The others felt the same way, nodding in unison as they got ready to leave this swampland.
They returned to where they had stopped at earlier, wanting to retrieve their backpacks. They were stunned when they looked at the area around them.
They saw glowing cards scattered around on the ground, each of them emitting a bronze light. They were left behind by the water insects killed by the Purple Jade Condor from before. By rough estimation, there were actually close to ten cards lying on the ground!
What to do?
Although they really wanted to return them to that hero, he had already left in a hurry; it was impossible to give them back now.
“Let’s use these for now. We lost most of our subdued beasts anyway, and are lacking in strength right now. We’re sure to run into more danger later,” the man who wanted to confess to Qiqi decided. He added, “But, I have to say this first! We’re only borrowing these beast cards. If we happen to bump into our benefactor again in the future, we must return the cards to him!”
Under their current circumstances, this was the best possible suggestion. Everyone came to an agreement and distributed the water insect cards among themselves, quickly branding their spiritual imprints on them before letting out long sighs of reliefs.

After Zhang Che was far away from the area Qiqi’s group was at, he also let out a long sigh.
Although he didn’t care much about his image or whatsoever, it wasn’t nice to continue staying there covered in mud. It was better to be like Comrade Lei Feng, doing good without leaving his name. {TL: Lei Feng was a soldier in the People’s Liberation Army and is a communist legend in China, characterized as a selfless and modest person.}
