Beast Taming: I'm Really Not a Cultivation Master

Chapter 301: Chapter 272: Xue Yuan (2)

Both Li Qian and Lu Tianjiao felt their scalps tingle at the sound of that wretched scream.

Amidst the bloodcurdling screams, the spider-like figure suddenly thrashed about, apparently trying to force its way out of the skill’s area of effect.

Just then, a cold, clear voice suddenly called out, ”Yueyue, restrain her!”

As the voice faded, a purple ring of light appeared around the spider-like figure.

The appearance of the purple ring of light brought the figure’s movements to an abrupt halt.

It was clear she had been restrained by this skill and could no longer move.

However, she still continued to let out wretched screams.

The Purification skill was continuously being cast, presumably to treat her bizarre symptoms.

After about two minutes, something new happened.

A bloody, fleshy worm, about the thickness and length of a chopstick, bizarrely burrowed its way out from between her eyebrows.

”What the hell is that thing!” Lu Tianjiao paled in horror at the sight.

Li Qian’s brow was also tightly furrowed.

He didn’t recognize the strange creature either.

But one thing was certain: this thing was the culprit behind today’s incident.

As the strange worm was forced out, Lu Tianjiao’s ”old flame” let out one last cry before fainting.

Quick on his feet, Lu Tianjiao rushed over and caught his falling ”old flame,” while Li Qian awkwardly averted his gaze.

It couldn’t be helped. His ”old flame” had been contorting her body like a giant spider, and her thin summer nightgown couldn’t withstand such abuse. It was torn to shreds, hanging off her in strips and revealing far too much.

After catching his ”old flame,” a pill appeared in Lu Tianjiao’s hand from out of nowhere. He unhesitatingly fed it into her mouth.

Once that was done, he reached out again, and a jacket materialized in his hand, which he draped over her.

”I know some medicine. I can check on her.” After draping the jacket over her, Lu Tianjiao was about to carry his ”old flame” to the school infirmary when the cold, clear voice spoke again.

Li Qian looked toward the voice and finally got a clear look at the person who had arrived just in time to save them.

It was a girl—a very beautiful girl from the Snow Race. She had pointed ears, skin and hair as white as snow, and an air of sanctity, like a Tianshan Snow Lotus.

Although he had seen Snow Race girls in the plaza outside the Transmission Center when he first arrived in Shazhou City, that fleeting glimpse was nothing compared to the girl before him now.

Even though Li Qian considered himself to have excellent composure and self-control, his heart still couldn’t help but flutter at the first sight of her.

”Then I’ll have to trouble you.” Under the circumstances, even when faced with a stunningly beautiful girl of an Alien Race, Lu Tianjiao managed a rare moment of seriousness. He spoke with gratitude in his eyes.

The Snow Race girl glanced at Shamira, who was standing nearby. Shamira immediately understood her Beast Master’s intention and used her Telekinesis skill, causing the unconscious Gaochang Race girl to float over to her.

The Snow Race girl reached out and began to touch the unconscious Gaochang Race girl. A faint, pure light flickered at her fingertips.

The pure light shimmered, flickering in and out of existence as the Snow Race girl gently pressed her finger between the Gaochang Race girl’s eyebrows.

Time passed slowly. The commotion from the earlier fight had been quite loud, and more and more students were starting to notice the situation here.

Some poked their heads out from balconies or windows, while others were bold enough to walk over.

”Hey, do you need any help?”

”What happened here?”

”Yeah, that was some serious noise just now. It even woke up a heavy sleeper like me.”

...

The students whispered amongst themselves, and some called out directly, offering to help.

Li Qian glanced at the gathering crowd of students but had no intention of explaining things to them. He kept his eyes fixed on the Snow Race girl.

After about three minutes, the Snow Race girl withdrew her finger. Li Qian noticed that the bloody hole that had been between the Gaochang Race girl’s eyebrows was now gone, her skin as smooth as before.

Li Qian was slightly stunned by this.

’Such a terrifying Healing ability. And most importantly, it can heal others, unlike Lu Tianjiao’s, which is just Self-Healing.’

’A skill and Talent like this is truly rare.’ Stunned, Li Qian inwardly reminded himself, ’This world is full of extraordinary people. I can’t get complacent just because I’ve made a little progress.’

The Snow Race girl glanced at Shamira again. Shamira used her Telekinesis skill once more, moving the Gaochang Race girl in front of Lu Tianjiao.

Lu Tianjiao didn’t overthink it and simply reached out to hold his ”old flame.”

After returning the Gaochang Race girl to Lu Tianjiao, the Snow Race girl finally spoke. ”Her condition has stabilized. Although her body suffered various degrees of damage due to the Possession by that strange blood worm, she was lucky to avoid any fatal injuries. She should recover after a period of rest.”

Although Li Qian had already guessed as much, he couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief upon hearing the Snow Race girl’s words.

’Good, she’s okay.’

Thinking back on the day’s events, Li Qian shook his head helplessly.

’Do I really have such bad luck? Why does trouble follow me everywhere I go?’

’Even in a place that should theoretically be the safest—the campus of Beast Taming University—I’ve run into this kind of mess.’

Shaking his head to clear his complex thoughts, Li Qian walked over and said gratefully, ”Thank you.”

”May I ask your name?” he continued, then, perhaps feeling his question was a bit too forward and might be misunderstood, Li Qian quickly added, ”Also, do you know anything about this thing?”

”Xue Yuan.” The Snow Race girl didn’t seem to mind Li Qian’s questions. Her willow-leaf brows furrowed slightly. ”As for what this thing is, I don’t know either.”

She gave a light wave of her hand, and the strange, bloody worm, still encased in the ring of Telekinetic light, floated in front of her.

The worm lay motionless within the ring of light, apparently devoid of all life.

”Is it...?” Li Qian also saw the motionless worm and looked at Xue Yuan in confusion.

Xue Yuan shook her head. ”It died the moment it was forced out of her body.”

”It’s normal that we don’t recognize something so strange and evil,” the Snow Race girl continued. ”But I’m sure the school’s teachers will.”

Hearing this, Li Qian nodded in agreement.

”Make way! What happened here?” Just as Li Qian and Xue Yuan were talking, a middle-aged man’s voice rang out, growing closer.

”Teacher Xu! It’s Teacher Xu!”

The appearance of the middle-aged man immediately caught the attention of some of the onlookers.

They quickly moved to either side, clearing a path for Teacher Xu to walk through.

At that moment, his face was filled with anxiety and worry.

It couldn’t be helped. Every student living in Xianya Garden was an Elite, a one-in-a-hundred genius.

No accidents could be allowed to happen to them.

Seeing a teacher arrive, Li Qian let out another long sigh of relief. He walked over to the man the students called ”Teacher Xu” and said, ”Teacher Xu, something happened here. I’ll explain it all to you later. For now, we should get this student some medical attention.”
