The luxury car stopped a few kiloters away, just past the intersection.
The engine made a low and feeble sound, and the car had reached its limit and could no longer move.
There were nurous accidents and traffic jams here, with children's cries and won's screams incessantly ringing in the air, as if the entire city was falling apart, and the conspirators' sinister laughter echoed.
The Giant Beast disappeared into the distance, the three of them survived, but no one was happy at this mont.
Ronald leaned against the passenger window, his head bowed low, and outside the window was a violent storm. At that mont, he suddenly realized that he seed to have lost another person who cared about him.
After the music on his phone stopped, it didn't play the next song, just like that man would never return.
A large number of command personnel arrived to handle the accident and maintain order, and to search for survivors on the scene.
The group of three didn't speak; in just one day, everything had changed, everything was different, and that man had left against their wishes, never to return.
They could clearly see their own reflection in the puddle below, their ugly faces deeply etched into the asphalt road, and the overwhelming sadness bursting from within seed to consu them.
They lifted their heads, raindrops falling on their faces, unsure whether it was raindrops or tears at the corners of their eyes.
...
"Oi!" Suddenly, a voice ca from a distance, and the three of them were stunned.
They saw a white-haired person wearing sunglasses waving and running over, as if nothing had happened, and when he arrived in front of the three of them, he handed each of them a bottle of drink.
"Hurry up and drink. We'll be heading to the hospital later." Xue Dili nonchalantly got into the car, casually downing a large bottle of drink.
The drink was a mix of tomato and apple juice, and the taste of people from Otherworld was truly unique; this type of drink was actually the best-selling one.
The group of three, still in a deep late-night emo state, were stunned. The traces of tears and rain at the corners of their eyes hadn't been wiped dry when they saw the white-haired man nonchalantly picking up his phone to play the next song, "Call Out My Na," leaving them bewildered in the rain.
"What are you standing there for? Get in the car!" Xue Dili directly said.
The group of three got into the car, bewildered, all wet, not knowing what to say or how to speak.
The saddest emotions had been brewing in their hearts; they all thought the teacher would never return, their eyes filled with sorrow, but then the white-haired man just waved from a distance and ran back?
No, just now, in the battlefield of Giant Beasts and Super Beasts that seed like doomsday, how did he run back?
Xue Dili seed to know the group's confusion, and with a lighthearted smile, he adjusted the car's ignition, bringing the luxury car back to life, and said, "The teacher got lucky and slipped out from the center of the battlefield between the two Giant Beasts, and also managed to fish so spoils in the chaos."
The luxury car started, and Xue Dili casually conjured up a few light spheres, one for each person, which could evaporate the water from their clothes like an electric heater, a practical little trick of the Holy Light.
The three of them exchanged glances, not knowing how to leave the battle alive, but they shared a smile.
The luxury car left the overpass, having to take a detour to get to the hospital, with the uplifting music of "Call Out My Na" playing continuously on the phone, and for the first ti, they seed to feel a sense of security that was hard to describe.
...
"Hello, Miss Charlotte, we are fellow disciples of that unfortunate... junior brother Ronald. I am his senior sister, and this idiot here is his senior brother. We are now studying together under the Monarch." Wu Li gestured to the sheepishly smiling Cloud Star at her side, looking at the sickly beautiful young lady on the hospital bed.
"Thank you for taking care of Ronald." The young lady was very cute, but maybe because she was long-term ill, she was very thin, so thin that her prominent collarbones could be seen through the skin of her neck.
"No, no, it's what we should do, it's what we should do..." Wu Li and Cloud Star didn't know what to say and could only respond with silly smiles. Then, when leaving, they each gave Ronald a hard elbow on either side.
Making this awkward little guy almost lose his breath from embarrassnt.
After the two left the ward, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were relieved not to have embarrassed themselves in front of the young lady, and saw Xue Dili sitting outside the door, playing with a ball of blood that kept changing shape in his hand, seemingly having a great ti.
"Teacher, what is that?" Cloud Star imdiately asked.
"The entire energy and soul of the Giant Beast." Xue Dili casually said sothing that left them both shocked.
This was the entire energy and soul of that 40-ter-tall Giant Beast. Xue Dili naturally captured it after killing it, using the properties of a Magic Ring to instantly refine it.
The thick fog was to delay a few seconds for the refinent, finally absorbing both the energy and soul.
Of course, this portion of energy couldn't directly form a new Magic Ring, as it seed incompatible with the energy of the zero-numbered Super Beast, making fusion impossible.
Moreover, the zero-numbered Super Beast had completely cald down after ending its transformation. Now, it seed like a lifeless object, with no breath or heartbeat, as if it was completely a statue set in the Consciousness Space.
However, it still stubbornly resisted the power of another Giant Beast, which Xue Dili found interesting.
The sa person cannot be compatible with the powers of two different Giant Beasts.
Watching Xue Dili squeeze and shape the Giant Beast's soul in his hand, the two didn't say much more and instead sat down a little farther away, whispering.
"I suddenly feel that the little unfortunate guy is really lucky; darn it, why didn't I have a young lady to rely on when I was a kid!" Cloud Star said to Wu Li with a touch of envy, jealousy, and resentnt.
Although both had their hotowns destroyed and were displaced to the Imperial Capital, the disparity between the two's circumstances was too great.
This is actually quite normal. He was only discovered to have a Spiritual Energy talent at the age of 11, which allowed him to gain the recognition of a noble family.
The sa situation, but at different ages, makes a big difference. The little guy was detected at 6 years old, and for such a young child, he is undoubtedly the favorite choice for nobles and high officials.
Being young, it's easier to integrate into the family. Moreover, the little guy's background seems impeccably clean to them, and his personality easy to control, making him the best candidate for joining the family.
In contrast, Cloud Star was only discovered in his teens, so the treatnt is naturally not as favorable as a 6-year-old child, as a teenager's worldview is beginning to form and it's harder to integrate into a new family.
But now he has also been recognized by a noble family, so in normal circumstances, he could get the status of a secondary son-in-law. And if the news of him becoming a student of Xue Dili spreads, his treatnt might not be any worse than the little guy's.
And the senior sister seems to only feel that the little guy and that young lady are truly a perfect match, two lonely people coming together. She even began to imagine a lodramatic love story spanning millions of words in her mind.
...
The two engaged in mismatched cross-server chatting here.
anwhile, in the hospital room, Ronald sat silently on the bed of his nominal wife, carving fruit with a knife.
He didn't know how to start a conversation. It was always like this each ti he ca here. Although they were engaged at 6, Ronald felt no real connection. Looking at his fiancée, he suddenly thought of seven years ago.
Back then, he actually had many choices, not just this family. Even the current Royal Family's 13th Princess was willing to take him in, even though the princess was over two years younger than him.
But he ultimately chose this child, not really thinking too much at the ti, just feeling that other girls were very noisy, while she quietly coughed behind her father, with a solitary feeling that didn't fit in with the world, just like himself.
Sotis he wondered if perhaps at that ti he didn't sympathize with this girl but rather thought despicably that when this sickly child dies, he would be able to take over the entire high official's family estate.
"Your senior brother and sister, they are very nice people." The young lady spoke.
"Yes, yes, they are, and the teacher too, they all took great care of ." Ronald didn't know how to answer, nor did he know how to interact with her. He often had wild thoughts; maybe this is the seven-year itch. It's been exactly seven years since they were engaged.
"They really looked after your feelings, even maintaining your dignity in front of others, even if it ant belittling themselves."
"Ah, I see." Ronald didn't know how to respond, so he continued carving the fruit while trying to agree.
"By the way, I heard there was a big disaster outside today. You weren't hurt, were you?"
"Uh, no..."
The little guy replied chanically, finally killing the conversation.
Ronald felt his toes curled in discomfort, constantly trying to find a topic to end this awkwardness quickly.
"How's your condition? Feeling better lately? Let take a look." He eventually uttered.
"Mm." The young lady responded softly.
Only then did he place his hand lightly on her emaciated wrist, silently activating the super-speed regeneration in his heart at that mont.
For so reason, the young lady's complexion improved significantly in an instant, with a faint flush on her face.
"Feeling a bit better?" he asked.
"Mm."
The rain continued to fall outside the window; for so reason, they seed to have maintained this gesture for quite a while.
The rain kept pouring.
...
"See you tomorrow, teacher!" Wu Li returned to her apartnt door, where her working-class parents specially ca down to thank the Monarch teacher.
The little guy was directly thrown into the hospital by Xue Dili, staying by his fiancée's side, rather than always thinking about finding his senior sister. Besides, Xue Dili had roughly assessed that girl's condition.
Kidney failure, with so chronic inflammation in the lungs, is not a major illness for Xue Dili.
Perhaps with the initial stage dical level of the information age in this world and Tier Three magic might be a bit challenging, but even relying solely on the little guy's super-speed regeneration, she would recover in a few months.
The young couple would no longer have to attend school and visit the hospital separately, only eting once every one or two weeks like a long-distance relationship.
Finally, only Cloud Star remained in the car, but Xue Dili had no intention of sending him ho. Instead, he asked, "Do you desire power?"
The window of the car was rolled up, and inside the car with just the two of them, Xue Dili asked this question.
Cloud Star, who usually appeared as a hot-blooded fool on the surface, this ti clenched his fists tightly.
"If you want it, co with , and I will reveal all the secrets to you."
