Chapter 183 - You Must Stay Strong, Huang Tielan

The remnants of the demonic flower in Zhang Che were truly very well-hidden. Even the rainbow crystal wasn’t able to detect it.

Now that Zhang Che guessed where the problem lay, the rainbow crystal suddenly burst into action. That surge of violent energy was like a torrent, engulfing every single cell of his body.

Even so, the remnants of the demonic flower’s energy seemed to be deeply branded into Zhang Che’s genes. It was ever so difficult to remove even a hint of it.

Thus, that sharp pain that seemed to originate from his bone marrow kept tormenting Zhang Che, leaving him sweating profusely. If this continued on, perhaps he might die from dehydration, even if he didn’t die from the pain.

It was like they sensed the mark of the demonic flower on Zhang Che’s body was being slowly removed. The strong suction force suddenly became much stronger.

However, as the demonic flower’s mark was slowly removed from him, the rainbow crystal could now interfere in this matter, intercepting the pull from the suction force.

There weren’t any changes to the chaotic mass of light surrounding Zhang Che, however. He could still sense that he was flying towards an extremely far place in a certain direction, although the speed gradually fell.

“But, where will I appear at after I break free from the suction force?” Zhang Che couldn’t help but worry about his unknown future.

It was definitely impossible for him to reappear in the hunting zone!

The only hope for him was to leave this endless tunnel safely. No matter where he appeared at, there was a chance for him to return.

-What a pity… Looks like there’s no chance for me to enter Bei Du University. I won’t get to return to the life of a student…- Zhang Che thought resentfully. It wasn’t easy for him to decide to try for a university. Why would such a thing happen to him?

In the end, after an indeterminate amount of time, the rainbow crystal finally stopped transferring energy into Zhang Che’s body.

The remnants of the demonic flower were thoroughly purged.

Zhang Che suddenly felt that he could move again. The force that was pulling him through the endless tunnel suddenly weakened to a negligible strength.

“Damn, I want out!” Zhang Che’s herculean strength suddenly burst forth. He instantly broke free from the force’s pull. After that, he felt as if he broken through an enveloping eggshell-like substance. His body suddenly stopped and plunged down.

The wind whistled by his ear as he fell.

He shut his eyes subconsciously, rejoicing inwardly, -Am I finally out!?-

However, he immediately realized how bad of a situation he was in right now. Heavens knew how high he was falling from!

With a thought, a golden ray of light shot out from between his brow and enveloped him, materializing into the Swamp Crocodile King armor. At the same time, Zhang Che also waved his hand and summoned the Purple Jade Condor, commanding it to fly down and catch him.

Rustle rustle… Before the Purple Jade Condor could do a thing, Zhang Che crashed onto the crown of a tree in a dense forest, breaking countless branches as he fell.

However, with this buffer, Zhang Che didn’t receive any injuries when he fell onto the ground. He only felt the ground shaking slightly before coming to a stop.

-I’m safe now…-

—————

In an unknown world, a deep purple sky enshrouded the lands.

On a gloomy mountain summit, several foreign creatures sat on a large platform. Their appearances varied; some of them resembled malicious spirits, some as beautiful as the devil…

In the center of the platform, a huge beautiful flower about ten meters wide, so mesmerizing that it left one not daring to look at it directly, stood silently. It was surrounded by a layer of chaotic light, as if it was about to jump into another space.

Suddenly, the chaotic light around the demonic flower shone brightly, and then thoroughly collapsed. The countless petals of the flower swayed about and let out a soundless howl.

The devils and spirits around it let out depressed hums and each spat out blood in varying colors.

——

Another morning dawned upon Bei Du City.

Huang Tielan woke up early in the morning and did the weight-loss workout her mother taught her. After that, she returned to her room and washed up, then headed to the front hall of the mansion joyfully.

When she arrived at the front hall, she saw her grandparents and her father waiting there, each of their expressions grave.

Huang Tielan’s heart sank. She hurriedly jogged over and asked anxiously, “Grandpa, grandma, daddy, what happened?”

Her grandparents took a glance at Huang Tielan lovingly, before shifting their gazes towards Huang Juyun, indicating with their eyes for him to break the news.

Huang Juyun looked at his confused daughter with a complicated gaze. He gritted his teeth and said, “Lanlan, I just received a piece of news regarding Zhang Che. You need to be mentally prepared…”

Before he finished his sentence, they saw Huang Tielan’s body swaying, her face ghostly white. Tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to roll down her cheeks at any moment.

Huang Juyun sighed inwardly and narrated the details of Zhang Che’s situation. In the end, he consoled, “Don’t worry, Lanlan. I know that Zhang Che’s luck has always been pretty good. He’ll definitely get through this. You don’t have to be too worried.”

However, not even he could believe what he just said.

After hearing that, Huang Tielan’s tears finally fell uncontrollably…

Huang Tielan didn’t know how she managed to return to her room. She sat in the chair blankly, her eyes spiritless, her face pale. She sat there unmoving, as if a statue.

After a very very long time, she suddenly raised her hand and wiped her tears off her face. She said to herself with a resolute gaze, “You must stay strong, Huang Tielan!”

“Nothing will happen to Zhang Xiaoche!

“You have to help him take care of his mother, and you have to enroll into Bei Du University’s beast card cultivation major and ask Professor Sun Qilong to cure Auntie Sun’s illness… you must stay strong!

“You mustn’t cry, and you have to lose weight. You’ll surprise Zhang Xiaoche when he return… How could you cower? You must be strong!”

As she mumbled to herself, tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably once more, but her eyes were no longer spiritless and confused…

All her sorrows were suppressed.

She stood up firmly and went to the washroom to wash her face, washing away her tears and weakness. What was left was only strength!

After exiting the washroom, Huang Tielan sat down silently on the chair once more. She opened up her personal terminal silently, and brought up the information related to beast card cultivation, silently reading it…
