He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

"Yes, young mistress!"

The guards then made way.

Lu Chen squatted down and checked the condition of Canglong, confirming that its life force was rapidly fading away.

Without hesitation, he raised his foot and seemingly casually stomped lightly on Canglong's heart.

A surge of hidden energy penetrated his body, instantly shattering Canglong's already fragile heart meridian.

Canglong's body trembled violently, and his last breath dissipated.

Just as the dragon's aura vanished,

A majestic phantom suddenly appeared from his body.

The illusory figure's face was indistinct, but it exuded a chilling sense of oppression.

His gaze seemed to pierce through space, locking firmly onto Lu Chen.

A cold voice rang directly in Lu Chen's mind:

"Boy, you dared to kill someone from my Zang family, I'll remember you!"

After the phantom finished speaking, it slowly disappeared.

Clearly, this is a mark left on Zanglong by an elder member of the Zang family.

"Looks like I'll have to let this fat guy explain things to his elders himself later."

Lu Chen pursed his lips and muttered under his breath.

"If all else fails, we'll have to contact the female tyrant and have her take some people to the Tibetan family to 'establish our authority'."

Then, he activated his ability again: "Resurrection".

Green light enveloped the dragon's body.

A moment later, the light faded, and Canglong suddenly opened his eyes, panting heavily.

He sprang to his feet with a somersault, his injuries completely healed.

Even the previous fatigue was swept away.

"Haha! I'm back again!"

Zanglong stretched his limbs and felt better than ever before.

She immediately reverted to her carefree self, grinning as she moved closer to Lu Chen and familiarly hooked her arm around his shoulder.

"Brother-in-law, I knew you weren't the kind of person who would kill! You scared me to death just now!"

Seeing Canglong come back to life, Ran Ruhua breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, upon seeing that the first thing this guy did after resurrecting wasn't to comfort himself,

Instead, he went and put his arm around Lu Chen's shoulder, calling him "brother-in-law" repeatedly.

The anger in my heart erupted again like a volcano.

Layer upon layer.

"Fatty!!!"

Finally, the roar was almost squeezed out through gritted teeth.

Canglong stiffened, his neck turning stiffly as he turned his head to meet Ran Ruhua's eyes, which seemed to be spitting fire.

"Cough cough—"

Seeing this, Lu Chen quickly slapped Canglong's hand off his shoulder.

He took two steps back, cleared his throat, and said seriously:

"Let me explain, I'm not this fat man's brother-in-law, and my sister doesn't know him either."

He was completely in love with someone he only knew from photos; in fact, it was the kind of unrequited love where he only saw the photos.

They don't even have a way to contact you!

So, don't take your anger out on me regarding your own issues.

After saying that, Lu Chen ungratefully retreated to Shangguan Hong and the others, adopting a "it's none of my business" attitude as he watched the show.

"Brother-in-law, please! You can't just stand by and watch someone die!"

Canglong, with a mournful face, tried to follow, but his shoulder was gripped tightly by a fair hand that contained terrifying power.

"hehe!"

Ran Ruhua laughed in anger, her beautiful face now covered in frost.

"Fatty, you better explain yourself to me!"

Unrequited love?

All I saw were photos?

You caused me to misunderstand someone else, and I almost fought you to the death?

You're really great!

"ah!!"

"No!!"

"Lu Chen, save me!!"

The dragon's mournful howl immediately echoed throughout the forest, filled with a sense of "misery".

However, Lu Chen, Shangguan Hong, Qian Mengmeng, and Chu Yu,

Even the newly resurrected guards and maids,

They all very tactfully shifted their gaze elsewhere.

Admiring the surrounding scenery, she seemed not to hear anything at all.

After half an hour.

Zanglong, his face bruised and swollen, his clothes even more tattered, was now in a sorry state.

Ran Ruhua, dressed up like a "virtuous wife and loving mother," was brought to Lu Chen.

Ran Ruhua's face still held lingering anger, but more than that, it showed embarrassment and apology.

"I'm sorry, Brother Lu Chen, I misunderstood you."

Ran Ruhua lowered her head slightly and apologized to Lu Chen.

Seeing that Canglong was still covering his face and groaning beside him,

She punched him hard on the head.

"Apologize to Brother Lu right now!"

"Oops! I'm so sorry! Brother Lu Chen, it was my fault for being so rude!"

I was talking nonsense! Please, don't hold it against me!

Canglong covered his head, tears welling up in his eyes, and quickly bowed to Lu Chen in apology.

"Alright, I forgive you."

Lu Chen waved his hand, indicating that the matter was over.

But then he changed the subject, looking at Canglong with a half-smile.

"By the way, Fatty, I was just 'remembered' by your family's elders."

You should be able to handle this, right?

If this can't be resolved, I might have to trouble the venerable Sage of Literature to personally intervene and speak on it.

Zanglong was startled and quickly patted his chest to assure him:

"It can be solved! It can be solved perfectly!"

No need to trouble the old scholar!

I'll go back and explain everything to our ancestors, and I promise they won't cause you any trouble!

He knew very well how much Lu Chen held in the heart of the Sage of Literature.

If the scholar were to come after the collector because of this misunderstanding,

The collector will really be in for a world of trouble.

"very good."

Lu Chen nodded in satisfaction, figuring the fat man wouldn't dare lie to him.

"Oh right, and these few too."

Lu Chen pointed to the eight resurrected guards and maids.

"Keep their mouths shut about my abilities and what happened today."

Canglong and Ran Ruhua exchanged a glance, both understanding the sensitivity of Lu Chen's abilities.

Canglong immediately took out a special contract sheet that glowed faintly from his spatial equipment.

He bit his fingertip, used his blood as ink, and quickly wrote on it.

Clauses such as "No information regarding Lu Chen's abilities and combat details as seen today shall be disclosed in any form; violators will be annihilated" shall be subject to penalties.

"Come on, everyone, come over here and leave your handprints!"

Canglong beckoned to the eight guards and maids.

The eight men knew that what they had seen and heard today was of great importance.

Without the slightest hesitation, they all stepped forward and bit their fingers.

He pressed his bloody handprint onto the contract.

When the last person pressed their button, the contract paper spontaneously combusted without any wind.

It transformed into eight rays of light, each entering the space between the eyebrows of one of the eight people.

An invisible constraint on the soul was thus formed.

"Is everything alright now?" Canglong asked Lu Chen.

"Okay." Lu Chen nodded.

"Let's go."

Their strength has been tested, the misunderstanding has been cleared up, and they even gained eight attribute points from the "resurrection."

Lu Chen felt he had gained a lot from this trip and prepared to continue exploring the dungeon.

"Hey, Lu Chen, wait a minute!"

Upon seeing this, Canglong quickly rubbed his hands together, a fawning smile plastered on his face.

"Well...you see, we've become friends through a fight, you could say."

How about we act together from now on?

That way, we can look out for each other!

With Lu Chen, a bug-level character with the "resurrection" divine skill, in the team, what danger does Canglong have to fear?

You can walk sideways now!
