As soon as Mingxi sat down, the Xiao Guniang beside her immediately leaned over.
Then, without waiting for Mingxi to respond, the Xiao Guniang's cherry lips transformed into a super-powered machine gun.
The speed at which her little mouth spewed words, even Jian Li'an, the 'storyteller,' couldn't babble as fast as her.
Mingxi was dumbfounded.
Could this be the legendary 'social butterfly'?
But this was too much; her waist felt twisted!
"Classm—" Mingxi held her waist, wanting to open her mouth and block the Xiao Guniang's 'gun barrel,' but she was too naive.
"Do you know Beastmaster Mingxi of Lingtianzi? She's about our age, but she's already a B-Grade Beastmaster! She's incredibly, incredibly amazing, the person I admire most in my life! You don't know her..."
The Xiao Guniang's slightly thin and pale face revealed a pure and beautiful smile. She clasped her hands together, tilted her head back slightly, and assumed a praying posture.
When she mentioned Lingtianzi, Mingxi realized that the other party might be a fan of herself or Lan Yue, and indeed, she was right.
After the last Yunding Live broadcast, the popularity of Golden Silver Lapis Lazuli Black soared. ƒreewebɳovel.com
Fan clubs and support groups sprang up like mushrooms after rain.
Mingxi's personal fan count grew rapidly, already exceeding eighty million; no top-tier celebrity had her level of popularity.
Because of this, the endorsement offers for Mingxi were so numerous they could fill baskets. Some were for her, some for Golden Silver Lapis Lazuli Black, and some for all of them.
The offers were all very high.
There was even a pet grooming company that offered an annual endorsement fee of over one hundred million!
Unfortunately, Mingxi was no longer short on money, and Principal Shu Shaoguang, homeroom teacher Chen Haiyan, and Chu Kuangsheng all believed that her studies should be her priority at this stage.
Taking on endorsements could wait until she became a Professional Beastmaster and formed her own team.
From another perspective, Ling Ye, who signed an endorsement deal with Mingxi before her wings were fully grown, profited immensely.
Ling Ye indeed made a huge fortune.
Not only did the Light Comfort series endorsed by Mingxi sell out, but it also boosted sales of other series.
Because of this, Heng Chong, who insisted on signing her as an endorser, received a reward from his family, becoming the Vice President of Ling Ye Group's headquarters at a young age.
"...Classmate, why aren't you speaking?"
Mingxi's mouth twitched slightly. You didn't give me a chance to speak.
"Hahaha, Xiao Guniang, my granddaughter is naturally not a talkative person."
Huo Tianheng was sitting on Mingxi's other side and naturally heard the Xiao Guniang's words, which sounded like big and small pigs falling onto a fish plate.
The old man was very easygoing; as long as he didn't want to, he looked like an ordinary old man, without a trace of the dignity of a high-ranking person.
Luo Hai also said, "Yes, yes, my daughter is an 'I' person."
Nan Huai smiled gently, "Exactly, my sister has a cool and aloof persona."
Mingxi: "Hehe."
So they weren't here to accompany her; they were here to take advantage of her.
"Oh, I see! No wonder this classmate looks so cool and even has some of my idol's aura!"
The Xiao Guniang didn't suspect for a moment that Huo Tianheng was misleading her.
Mingxi no longer wanted to speak. Fortunately, the Xiao Guniang's mother, who had gone to buy snacks for her, returned, finally diverting the chatterbox Xiao Guniang's attention.
However, what Mingxi didn't expect was that soon after, the Xiao Guniang leaned close to her again and handed a numbered ticket to Mingxi.
"Classmate, here's my numbered ticket for you."
Mingxi looked up in surprise, seeing the Xiao Guniang's face, which tried to Endure a smile but couldn't hide its bitterness: "What's wrong?"
"My brother has a rare blood disease. Just now, my mother called and said he had an attack and needed me to rush to the hospital for a blood transfusion immediately, so I can't undergo Hongmeng Awakening today."
Blood disease?
Even with today's advanced medical technology and Pet Beast skills that can compensate for medical deficiencies, some diseases remain incurable.
Mingxi looked at the Xiao Guniang's clearly unhealthy physique. No wonder she looked thin and pale, completely at odds with her bright and cheerful personality.
This Xiao Guniang was probably being used as a blood bag by her family; she must have experienced long-term and frequent blood loss, which is why she couldn't even recover with treatment.
"Miss, we should go now. Young Master is still waiting for you. Don't delay any longer!"
The middle-aged woman, whom Mingxi had initially thought was the Xiao Guniang's mother, turned out to be a maid from the Xiao Guniang's family.
She held the Xiao Guniang's leftover snacks in one hand and grabbed the Xiao Guniang's arm with the other, forcefully trying to drag her away.
Mingxi's brows furrowed even deeper.
She reached out and took the numbered ticket that the Xiao Guniang stubbornly handed her, while also holding her other hand.
"Wait."
The woman's pulling motion was abruptly interrupted. She narrowed her eyes, about to flare up.
But then, she saw a green light flash in front of the girl who had pulled her young mistress, and a green Pet Space completed its etherealization.
"She's a Beast Tamer!"
"A green Pet Space?!"
"A Super-Rank Awakened Pet Space?!"
Everyone who saw this scene was stunned. The vast space was silent for a moment, then erupted into an uproar the next second!
Mingxi naturally ignored the surrounding noise; she directly summoned Little Silver Flower.
"Little Silver Flower, Holy Healing."
"Luo!"
Little Silver Flower spun upwards, and a soft pink halo continuously fell upon the stunned Xiao Guniang.
The Xiao Guniang's complexion became rosy and radiant, a stark contrast to her previous paleness.
Even her thin figure visibly filled out considerably, as if a withered tree had received the nourishment of rain.
This was the power of a Heaven-tier healing technique!
The Xiao Guniang's current condition was equivalent to being forcibly restored to her optimal ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) state for her age by the healing technique.
"Luo."
After finishing the treatment, Little Silver Flower shrank and flew back to Mingxi's side.
Mingxi looked at the Xiao Guniang, "Thank you for your numbered ticket."
She didn't have too much sympathy to interfere with other people's fates, but as thanks for giving her this numbered ticket, she could at least prevent the Xiao Guniang from being 'drained' into a human husk by her family so quickly.
In truth, she didn't know whether doing this was helping this girl or aiding evil.
Having a healthy body, would it accelerate the frequency of her being bled?
But if she didn't treat her, Mingxi had a feeling she would die today.
"...Little Silver Flower? So you... you are Mingxi? You are Mingxi!"
"It's me."
Tears shimmered in the Xiao Guniang's eyes, with the joy of seeing her idol in person, the emotion of being healed by her idol's pet beast, and even more, an indescribable complex emotion.
"Thank you for letting Little Silver Flower heal me."
Mingxi shook her head, "It's just an exchange of equal value."
She had already seen that the numbered ticket the Xiao Guniang gave her was number 399, and it would be her turn very soon.
"Still, thank you."
"...Miss, we really must leave. If we don't hurry to the hospital, I'm afraid Madam will be angry." The maid spoke again, but this time her tone was much softer.
"I know."
