Chapter 120: Bai Xiaofei’s Crisis (2/2)

“Lord…,” Xing said apprehensively. His tone and gaze clearly showed he was there to check on Bai Xiaofei.

“I don’t know what’s happening to him either. I only know that he’s still alive, and until I bring him back, we won't know how long he can live or whether he can recover. As for the two of you, you may leave now.”

Towards the end of his sentence, Lei Shan was clearly in some sort of dilemma.

A Ruindemon Flood Dragon that has a Lunapython as a companion would become a great threat to humanity once it has fully matured. It is primarily because there are too many dangerous magical beasts such as them that the Infinite Mountain Range has become humanity’s forbidden zone.

But ultimately, Lei Shan still decided to respect Bai Xiaofei’s decision.

“Many thanks, Lord.” Xing’s gaze rested on Bai Xiaofei for a long time before he finally decided to leave. “Lord, if he awakens, please pass my message to him. Tell him that I shall keep the favor he has done for us close to heart. If the opportunity should present itself, the two of us will repay him with our very lives.”

After saying this, Xing and Hong slowly vanished from Lei Shan’s sight.

Lei Shan heaved a long sigh, wondering if he had made the correct decision. He then turned to look at Bai Xiaofei. Using his origin energy, he rose a piece of ground beneath Bai Xiaofei into the air, carrying Bai Xiaofei with it. Next, he headed towards the Starnet Academy with Bai Xiaofei in tow.

Without Lei Shan sparing a thought for conserving his origin energy, they moved at a speed faster than even Revelation when he flew using his own puppet. The journey, which originally required at least ten to twenty minutes, was shortened to only a few minutes.

When they arrived at Starnet Academy, Lei Shan directly flew to the Furnace of Agarwood and charged into its medicine room. He howled to the student on shift, “Summon all the Healing Stream members ranked at head teacher and above. Tell them it’s an order from me!”

Lei Shan then rushed to the high-level treatment area on the fifth floor.

Before long, a bunch of Healing Stream puppet masters wearing teacher’s and chairman’s cloaks gathered in Bai Xiaofei’s room. Lei Shan stood by the side with a gloomy expression. The fury in his eyes grew when he saw that none could help Bai Xiaofei.

No longer able to restrain his anger, Lei Shan scolded them viciously. “Screw you all! What’s the point of keeping you Healing Stream people around? There are so many of you, yet you can’t even wake up a single student?”

No one in the room, not even the chairman, dared to lift their head or say a single word. It had been a very long time since they had last seen Lei Shan so angry.

“I might know what’s happened to him,” meekly commented a third-year student who stood outside the room, dressed as an intern. Everyone immediately turned to face her.

“What the hell are you all doing blocking the way? Get lost and make room for her!” Following Lei Shan’s howl, everyone retreated from the room, looking dejected and allowing the student to enter.

“May I take a look at him first?” the student asked nervously as she gazed at Lei Shan with inquiry. Her voice was a bit unsteady.

“Anything is fine so long as you can wake him.” Lei Shan’s tone finally grew less harsh.

The student summoned her puppet under everyone’s hopeful gazes: an exquisitely made flute. Once she activated it with her origin energy, the short flute started playing a pleasant melody on its own. Simultaneously, a layer of ash-gray radiance appeared around Bai Xiaofei’s body. The student then slowly placed her hand on Bai Xiaofei’s forehead.

The crowd was stunned, but then very quickly, intense joy replaced their shock. One ought to know that until now not a single person had been able to touch Bai Xiaofei without being rebounded. Her mere act of touching him was already significant progress.

Shortly afterwards, the female student retrieved her hand and lifted her head. She looked at Lei Shan with an expression of regret.

“I know what’s wrong with him, but I can’t help him.”

Her statement extinguished everyone’s hopes, and apprehension appeared within Lei Shan’s eyes.

Is there really no way to save Bai Xiaofei?
