Online Fortune Telling: Your Son Has Another Dad

Chapter 157: Saving Lives


With the cooperation of the Illusion Demon Mask and the Shadow Beast, Lu Heng temporarily turned his appearance back to what he looked like in his previous life.

This way, he could effectively avoid being captured by the numerous street cameras.

After all, he came down the mountain under the pretense of treating an illness.

If he were to be recognized by acquaintances, it would be quite awkward.

Lu Heng strolled around the city district of Dragon Tiger City alone for a while.

This was the first time since his rebirth that he had time to familiarize himself with this parallel world.

"Tingting, there's a newly opened hotpot restaurant on West City Street, and I've heard the taste is quite good."

"Why don't we go and try it?"

Lu Heng had just finished tasting some snacks from a specialty store when he stepped out the door and suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice.

Turning his head, he saw four young people, two men and two women, walking past him.

He was familiar with these four youths.

Because they were the same four college students he met at the Seeking Immortality Temple.

Compared to the last meeting, Song Tingting hadn't changed much and still looked gentle and lovely.

Liu Rui, however, had lost quite a bit of weight, looking more beautiful.

Zhao Shuo was the same as ever, chatting non-stop like a chatterbox.

But the biggest change among the four was He Ming.

The cross on his chest was gone, and he appeared more composed, with none of his previous arrogance.

It seemed that the incident in the air-raid shelter had indeed matured him quite a bit.

"By the way, have you heard? The Immortal Taoist on Douhu Live is said to be at Shangqing Tao on Dragon Tiger Mountain!"

Zhao Shuo said mysteriously.

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Rui immediately showed a curious expression.

"Of course it's true!"

"This information was leaked by an insider from the Douhu company, so it can't be fake, right?"

Zhao Shuo confidently said, "I'm telling you, it won't be long before Shangqing Tao will get popular again!"

"I remember Shangqing Tao has an 'Immortal', right?"

"What's the relationship between this 'Immortal' and the Immortal Taoist?"

"Could they be the same person?"

He Ming suddenly asked.

"I remember during the live broadcast, the Immortal Taoist denied that."

"But the majority of viewers believe just like you do."

"After all, no matter how amazing Shangqing Tao is, it can't produce two Immortals at the same time, right?"

Zhao Shuo shrugged, agreeing with He Ming.

"The Taoist Qingfeng we met last time was from Shangqing Tao, wasn't he?"

Song Tingting said softly.

"Yes!"

Liu Rui nodded and added, "We said before we would go to Shangqing Tao to thank him, but after He Ming was discharged, our school and parents punished us."

"How about we find some time to visit Dragon Tiger Mountain this weekend?"

Song Tingting suggested.

He Ming and the other two nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

As the four spoke, the roar of an engine suddenly caught their ears.

They instinctively turned their heads, only to see a red sports car speeding towards them.

He Ming and Zhao Shuo, who were walking at the front, didn't have time to react before the sports car was right in front of them.

It seemed that in the next second, they would be hit and sent flying.

In this critical moment, someone suddenly reached out and grabbed their collars.

With a powerful tug from behind, He Ming and Zhao Shuo were pulled back, narrowly avoiding the sports car.

[System Prompt: The host has successfully altered the Heavenly Dao and is absorbing Life Span. Please check later...]

Who else could have rescued them but Lu Heng?

After saving He Ming and Zhao Shuo, the Celestial Destiny System immediately sent a prompt.

He summoned the system interface for a glance and saw the Life Span had increased by 8 points.

It seemed that if it weren't for his intervention, He Ming and Zhao Shuo would have ended up seriously injured, if not dead.

"Tha... thank you..."

Zhao Shuo finally came to his senses, his voice trembling as he tried to express his gratitude.

But before he could finish his "thank you", a loud "boom" was heard as the red sports car rear-ended a black sedan.

The sudden accident left the pedestrians on both sides of the street stunned.

"Thank you so much, big brother!"

"If you hadn't pulled them just now, they would both be in trouble!"

Liu Rui immediately stepped forward to thank Lu Heng.

"Big brother, thank you!"

He Ming and Zhao Shuo also expressed their gratitude repeatedly.

The sudden incident was too overwhelming for them to react promptly.

If they hadn't been pulled back, given the speed of the red sports car, they might have been critical by now.

As they expressed their gratitude, they took a closer look at their savior.

He seemed to be around 27 or 28, with fairly average looks and nothing particularly distinctive.

Yet it was this seemingly ordinary passerby who saved their lives at a critical moment!

Their gratitude was beyond words.

"It was just a small matter!"

Lu Heng laughed heartily, unconcerned.

Even if he didn't know the two personally, he would have still reached out to help any stranger in a similar situation.

"Quick... save them!"

After the black sedan was rear-ended, it first emitted white smoke and then caught fire with raging flames.

"Be more careful when crossing the street in the future!"

Lu Heng patted their shoulders and then ran towards the accident site.

The fire was growing bigger, gradually consuming the whole car.

Although some people were trying to put out the fire with extinguishers, the flames were too intense, and the onlookers didn't dare to approach.

Without hesitation, Lu Heng rushed in.

The scene left the onlookers dumbfounded.

Charging into such fierce flames, was he not afraid for his life?

What if he couldn't rescue anyone and put himself in danger?

But soon, they saw him carrying two people out of the blazing fire.

"Young man, awesome!"

A middle-aged man in the crowd couldn't help but shout.

Other pedestrians joined in applause.

A hero who steps up in times of crisis deserves everyone's respect!

After Lu Heng laid the two injured individuals on the ground, the system prompt sounded again.

Both individuals were unconscious, with severe burns covering their bodies.

The situation was dire.

In comparison, the owner of the red sports car, though bleeding, wasn't as severely injured.

He had jumped out of the car right after the crash, managing to avoid the flames.

Song Tingting, He Ming, and the others stood among the crowd, looking at Lu Heng with respect and admiration as he returned.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Damn it! You caused this mess and still want to leave?"

"Stay right there! Do you think you can just run off?"

A new argument erupted among the crowd.

It turned out the sports car owner was trying to slip away but was stopped by several justice-driven men.

"I only hit a couple of people. No big deal!"

"I have money; I'll just compensate them!"

"I'm exhausted and need to go home and sleep, so let me through..."

The sports car owner, about 25 or 26 years old, nonchalantly commented as he yawned, facing the blocking crowd.
