Chapter 590: Another Promise! (1/2)

This blow was exceptionally heavy for Lei Shan. He, whose soul had wandered off, mumbled to himself for half a day and showed no signs of recovering. Bai Xiaofei could even sense the energy in his body going haywire.

“Gramps, wake up!” At that critical moment, Bai Xiaofei rushed over while focusing energy on his right hand, and slapped Lei Shan’s back.

The moment his hand touched, a terrifying wave spread from Lei Shan. Lightning bolts flashed and he was sent flying back. Hu Xian’er fortunately reacted quickly enough and caught him.

However, Bai Xiaofei’s ‘sacrifice’ worked. After the turbulent force in his body found an outlet, Lei Shan returned to normal. Otherwise, his damaged spirit that had just somewhat healed a little would likely be unable to control his chaotic energy and he would go insane.

“Gramps, you owe me another one.” Coughing out a mouthful of blood, Bai Xiaofei walked back to Lei Shan with Hu Xian’er’s support. Despite his hard mouth, there was apprehension in his eyes when he looked at Lei Shan.

This is a Timeless Rank! A flow of chaotic energy in his body can almost kill me! Just what kind of gap is this?!

“My bad…”

Opening his eyes, Lei Shan was back to normal again. He looked at Hu Xian’er.

“No matter what, I shall fulfill my promise to Hu Ji. By arranging for me to meet you, a member of the Phantom Fox clan, Heaven has given me a chance to carry it out. So long as I am in Starnet, no one in this academy can trouble you!”

Lei Shan said with incomparable seriousness. Then, he suddenly remembered something.

“As for those magical beasts under you, I will give them free access to Starnet on the grounds that they have helped us. As long as you want, Starnet will be the last shelter of your Phantom Fox clan, and in times of need, I can personally help you once!”

Upon hearing this, Hu Xian’er was in disbelief. She thought Lei Shan would be angry at the Phantom Fox clan for what they had done to Hu Ji, but his reaction was the exact opposite.

“Thank you, Gramps!” Bai Xiaofei quickly reacted and tugged on Hu Xian’er who was still in shock.

“Thank you, Principal…” she muttered, still unable to come to her senses.

“Alright, I’m tired. You guys can leave.” Waving his hands with a smile, Lei Shan then turned away.

The tactful Bai Xiaofei immediately dragged Hu Xian’er out and left the room to him.

“Turns out it’s me who hurt you…” Tears trickled down from Lei Shan’s eyes. At that moment, he was not the Thunder Emperor, only a dejected old man…

While knowing for certain that nothing had happened between Lei Shan and Hu Ji, Bai Xiaofei believed that there was spiritual, platonic love in this world, which was the only way to explain Lei Shan’s state. After all, Lei Shan only found a wife much later.
