Chapter 109: Being struck by Lightning

Spiritual Space? The Lightning God and the Lightning Goddess looked at each other and saw shocked expressions on each other's faces. There was actually someone who knew about the Spiritual Space in this broken space? Could it be.. the patrol messengers sent by the Spirit Goddess? ”

“You .. may I ask who you are ..” The Goddess of Lightning put away the God of Lightning and tried to smile on her face. He was afraid that his hopes would become meaningless.

[Huh! As the god of the Spiritual Space, you are actually unaware of this Divine God Stone. To be so indifferent, no wonder you were punished and exiled to this shabby little room! How sad! Too bad!] The little golden cat shook his head gently and sighed.

With the fiery temper of the Lightning God, how could he withstand the ridicule of this mini cat? She was about to flare up when the Thunder Goddess quickly stopped her husband and looked at him. He smiled, “We are stupid and don't recognize you. Were you sent by the Spirit Goddess to check on us? ”

[Spirit Goddess? Huh! Huh! He did not have the power to order this Divine Stone!] The little golden kitten raised his head and snorted, [This Divine Stone serves under Goddess Nuwa and is the only one favored by her. Even the Spirit Goddess had to give me some face.]

The Great Pangu split the heavens and the earth and created the world, the Goddess Nuwa created man with mud, and the Spirit Goddess is the leader of all the spirits — these three creator gods are known by everyone in the Ancient Realm. The Goddess of Souls was the most famous among the three creator gods because she had not only created all spirits and living beings other than humans, she was not only, he also has an amazing ability — he is able to open new spaces.

As the spiritual energy in the Ancient Realm became rare and the cultivation world became increasingly silent by the day, the Spirit Goddess created ‘Spiritual Space’ and set a new order for the cultivation world and the immortal world.

The Soul Goddess was extremely generous, but she tended to protect those close to her. Had the fiery God of Lightning not offended the Spirit Goddess, the God of Lightning and the Goddess of Lightning would still be living leisurely within the Spiritual Space, like a fish in water.

This worn-out space was created by the Spirit Goddess when she was young and was studying, so it was not very well made. As a result, the spiritual energy here was only one percent of what the Spiritual Space had, which was not conducive for cultivators to cultivate. Most of the gods here were immortal beings from other spaces, who were sent here to cultivate and gain experience. Of course, there were also some like the Lightning God and the Lightning Goddess, who had been descended from higher realms to reflect on their mistakes.

The God of Lightning and the Goddess of Lightning had lived here for about seven or eight hundred years. It had been a long time that they thought they had been abandoned forever. They thought that they should continue to live aimlessly while hitting the lightning hammer every day as the Lightning God. However, they finally found new hope today.

The eyes of the Lightning God twinkled after hearing those small holy stone words. He approached with his pointy face and he spoke in a flat tone, “May I ask what Lord Divine Stone is here for?”

[As you know, as a mystic stone, it takes longer and is harder to develop compared to humans and spiritual beings. It has been hundreds of millions of years since this Divine Stone gained enlightenment under the purification of Goddess Nuwa. For a long time, this Divine Stone had been cultivating smoothly and unhindered. But I encountered an obstacle when I was about to make a transformation!] As the small sacred stone recalled its days around the side of Goddess Nuwa, a trace of nostalgia appeared in her golden eyes.

It was precisely because of feeling upset about being stuck at the transformation stage that provoked the authority of the Spirit Goddess. As a result, it was banished to the mortal realm by Ling’er who held a grudge! The small holy stone was in a worse situation than the Lightning God and Lightning Goddess. It was sent to a more barren and shabby place, where there was almost no spiritual energy to speak of.

After experiencing many difficulties, he finally found a place with a tinge of spiritual energy — he recovered in a small river in front of Potala Palace in Tibet for several hundred years before being picked up by Lin Xiaowan, who had been living in the city, who went there for a vacation. It used all of its spiritual power to transport the soul of Lin Xiaowan, who had died after falling down the stairs, to this world and found a body that was suitable for her. However, he accidentally recognizes her as his master, forcing her onto a pirate ship.

Since the situation had already changed like this, he decided to go with the flow and take things as they came. Although Yu Xiaocao was weak, he was kind-hearted. Helping her is the same as helping herself. In order to successfully return to the higher realms as quickly as possible, the small holy stone dropped its pride and dignity, and helped its weak master grow.

With her head lowered, the little golden kitten sighed and continued, [To overcome the obstacles, Goddess Nuwa let her sister — Spirit Goddess — send me to this space to develop the experience. I accidentally made a blood covenant with a human and now I need to help him for a century. After he died, this Divine Stone could return.]

It turned out that it had descended from the Spiritual Space to gain experience! The Lightning God and the Lightning Goddess looked at each other. When they were in the Spiritual Room, they had heard that the heavenly stone, which was left after Goddess Nuwa patched the sky, beside Goddess Nuwa had obtained wisdom. However, they never expected that a stone could also develop into an immortal!

Since holy stones can return to the Spiritual Room after a century, they must be on good terms with this Divine Stone God. Hopefully, when it comes back, it can be a good word for them in front of the Spirit Goddess, even if it is just a sentence or two. Based on the kind and generous personality of the Spirit Goddess, she would definitely remember them and forgive their crimes.

“May I ask why Lord Divine Stone is looking for us, these little gods?” The Lightning Goddess asked cautiously with a smile.

Seeing that the two were quite obedient, the little holy stone swung its slender tail and ‘mengyeong’, [This Divine Stone Master is in a difficult situation with an evil businessman. I hope you two can act on my orders later.]

“But... if he is not a very evil person and this little god punishes him with the punishment of unlicensed thunder, it will be difficult to justify this to the Celestial Emperor in this realm.” Although the Lightning God had a bad temper, he was considered a good god who had principles.

The little golden kitten gave him a look of disdain, [Are you an idiot ?! Who told you to kill him? You just have to make a little thunder and lightning to scare the bad guy. Can you do it?]

[Understand! This little god knows what to do!] The Lightning Goddess attracted the Lightning God, who was about to say something, and secretly glared at him, afraid that he would offend the sacred stone. If that happened, they might have to stay here forever and would never be able to get out of this situation.

The little sacred stone was very satisfied with how wise the Lightning Goddess was. He raised his head high and came out his chest as he paced the clouds and nodded, [It's great! After you have completed this task, consider it a Divine Stone that owes you a debt of gratitude. When this Divine Stone returns to the Spiritual Space, I will definitely beg for the both of you in front of the Spirit Goddess. You just have to wait until the decision is forgiven.]

Under the escort of the Lightning God and Lightning Goddess, the mini golden cat turned into a golden light and returned to the colorful stone on Yu Xiaocao's wrist. Had he not been afraid of attracting too much attention, he would have chosen to appear on Xiaocao's shoulder in his cat form.

At this time, Shopkeeper Zhang Dongming, who did not believe in heresy, pointed to the sky and swore in a strange tone, “I, Zhang Dongming, am, swear to heaven that if I wrongly accuse the young man surnamed Yu, then let Heaven attack me. ”.

Before he finished speaking, the Lightning God and the Lightning Goddess had received the order of the small holy stone, and a loud thunderous voice sounded. The sound of thunder rang out as if there was a landslide and the ground split apart. It felt as if the ground was shaking. Shopkeeper Zhang was so frightened that his feet were limp and he fell to the ground.

However, the Lightning Goddess was not finished yet. He pointed the mirror in his hand at the signboard under the name ‘Cash Shop Zhang Ji’. A dazzling beam of light flashed and a bolt of lightning struck the signboard, turning it into a pile of ash that happened to befall the head of Shopkeeper Zhang.

Shopkeeper Zhang recalled the oath he had just made and thought that he could not escape this calamity. His eyes were silent from fear, and a wet feeling spread across his thighs.

After a few seconds of silence, the people around started talking amongst themselves.

“Gosh! Shopkeeper Zhang was struck by lightning! His vow has been fulfilled! ”

“The sky has opened its eyes! He should have killed this black-hearted man! The grandson of the Old Liu family from a neighboring village, who was sent for an apprentice, was beaten to the point of breaking his leg. Now, the boy could not use his legs anymore. ”

“She was paralyzed but at least she's alive. Over the past decade or so, there have been two apprentices who disappeared from this woodworking shop. Shopkeeper Zhang told the others that they stole some items and ran away. But I think these two kids most likely experienced a disaster. ”

“What a sin! Heaven should have taken him away! ”

“Good blow! It would be even better if it hit more accurately and attacked this vile and rotten man to death! ”

“Thank God, I borrowed twenty taels from here and there, and got back my Si’er. Otherwise, he would end up like a child from the Yu Family. ”

“Ay! I don't know if the child of the Yu Family can be saved. ”

…

Yu Xiaocao looked coldly at Shopkeeper Zhang, who was lying paralyzed on the ground and wetting his bed in fear. He said with hatred, “Store Guard Zhang, I already told you that ‘the gods will always watch over our actions’. This does not mean that you will not be punished but it is not yet the time! Now, do you still insist that my brother stole money from your store? ”

Shopkeeper Zhang had already woken up after fainting for a while. However, she has no face to face wetness between her legs and criticism from her neighbors. After hearing Xiaocao's words, his heart was filled with respect and fear towards the gods, so he decided to fake death until the end.

Yu Xiaocao saw a slight movement of Shopkeeper Zhang's eyelids, and knew that he was pretending to be unconscious. He had struck Yu Hang who until his bones cracked and left deep wounds, so he obviously could not let him go like that. He needs to teach her a deep and unforgettable lesson!

Yu Xiaocao communicated with the holy stone in his mind, and then the small holy stone sent out its second command. Above the clouds, the Lightning God took out his thunder hammer once more, while the mirror inside the Lightning Goddess' hand flickered repeatedly.

In front of Zhang Ji's Carpentry Shop, the limestone slab near where Shopkeeper Zhang was lying on the ground was consecutively struck by lightning. Shards of limestone flew into the face and body of Shopkeeper Zhang.

Zhang Dongming's ears were nearly deafened by the sound of thunder. He felt as if a snow-white lightning bolt had almost landed on him. How could he dare to continue lying on the ground and pretend to be dead?

Ignoring how others would see him, he got up nimbly and tried to jump into the store to hide. But, as if they had eyes, lightning chased after him all the way and repeatedly struck the location within a meter of him, cutting off the path to his shop.

The spectators were afraid of getting involved with the lightning, and all retreated. Only the members of the Yu Family stood firm amidst the lightning flashes and roaring thunder. With a strong wind blowing behind them, they looked solemn and tragic.

Yu Xiaocao looked at him with a stern look, “Store Guard Zhang, are you not going to plead guilty? Or, are you only willing to repent sincerely after the Heavenly Thunder struck your head and turned you into a scattered pile of ashes? ”
