Chapter 820 - 820 Second Lightning Tribulation
820 Second Lightning Tribulation
Su Xiaolu was speechless.
In her heart: ? (๑”?) Σ(⊙▽⊙).
She was already dumbfounded. Now that she went back, many people would be calling her aunt.
Looking at Su Xiaolu’s stunned expression, Liu Zijin held back his laughter and said, “Xiaolu, your cousins also have children. Both Xingfeng and Xingzhi have three sons…”
Su Xiaolu opened her mouth.
When she went back this time, it would take her a few days to recognize them.
It was not just the Qi family. There was also Chen Hu’s uncle’s family. Big Sister Daniu and Big Sister Erniu were no longer in Furongzhou and had entered the capital. They must have many children.
Su Xiaolu was suddenly stunned. She pursed her lips and finally asked, “Then is my Fourth Brother, the Wisdom King, married? Does he have children?”
Liu Zijin shook his head. “The Wisdom King is unmarried and has no children. The Crown Prince said that he’s obsessed with spell cultivation. The emperor mentioned it to him many times but was rejected. In the last four years, the Wisdom King didn’t even return to the palace.”
Zhou Zhi was still unmarried and had no children. Su Xiaolu had a strange feeling in her heart. She seemed to be relieved.
That hazy feeling back then might have been a misunderstanding. Now that they had been separated for ten years, they would not meet like before.
“Xiaolu, it’s getting late. Have a good rest with Xiao Kuo. If you’re not in a hurry to return to the capital, stay here and play for a few more days.”
It was getting late. Thinking that Su Xiaolu was also in a hurry to return to the capital, Liu Zijin wanted her to rest well and stay in Furongzhou to catch up.
Speaking of which, he was the first person to see Su Xiaolu after she left for ten years.
“Alright, sorry to disturb you for the next few days.”
Su Xiaolu smiled. She was indeed going to stay in Furongzhou for a few days.
Liu Zijin arranged a place for her and Su Kuo to stay. The rooms were separated.
In the next few days, Liu Zijin rejected many work matters and talked to Su Xiaolu a lot.
Wang Yunan, Wang Yun, Wang Yunyue, and the others all practiced martial arts. Su Xiaolu naturally guided them.
The three children originally did not have much feelings for Su Xiaolu, but after seeing her swordplay, they became friendly.
They pestered her and called her Aunt Xiaolu. Su Xiaolu bought gifts for the three children.
After playing in Furongzhou for ten days, Su Xiaolu and Su Kuo prepared to return to the capital.
On the day of her farewell, Liu Zijin’s entire family sent her off.
It was already August 13th. Liu Zijin really wanted Su Xiaolu to stay for the Mid Autumn Festival, but Su Xiaolu refused. To her, it was fine if she couldn’t stay for the Mid Autumn Festival. She could stay and leave when she needed to.
She had come from the foreign land for a few months and knew most of what she needed to know.
The reason why she did not return to the capital quickly was that she treated this year as an experience, so she was walking slowly back.
She had stayed in the foreign land for ten years. During those ten years, she did not feel the passage of time. Although she was supposed to go on three years of training, she actually only spent one year. Therefore, she took her time this year to make up for it.
After leaving Furongzhou, Su Xiaolu began to bring Su Kuo to the deep mountains.
Su Kuo was a little puzzled. “Sister, why don’t we take the main path?”
Su Xiaolu felt the surging spiritual energy in her body that was about to overflow. She looked at Su Kuo and asked, “Little Kuo, there are classes in cultivation, right? How do you know that your class has increased?”
Su Kuo quickly reacted. He was a little surprised. “Sister is going to transcend the lightning tribulation again?”
This was too fast. It had been only – more than ten years since she reached the Foundation Establishment realm with her.
Alright, he could not help but ignore the ten years in the foreign land.
Su Xiaolu nodded. “I think so.”
She was not sure. She did not know anything when she had the first lightning tribulation. She only felt that she had been struck by lightning for no reason.
This time, she had a vague premonition. Her intuition told her to find a safe place where she would not be disturbed.
Such a place was most suitable in the deep mountains and forests, where there was more spiritual energy.
Su Kuo did not ask further and followed Su Xiaolu all the way into the mountain to climb the steep cliff.
In such a forest, the air became humid.
After finding a cave to settle down in, it began to rain.
Su Xiaolu walked into the rain and sat cross-legged. Su Kuo wanted to go over, but Su Xiaolu’s expression was serious. “Little Kuo, don’t come over.”
Lightning did not recognize people. This was her lightning tribulation, so she should bear it herself.
When lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky.
Su Xiaolu felt a sharp pain in her body and sea of consciousness. Taking advantage of the time before the thunderclouds descended, she quickly used her spiritual energy to repair the pain in her body.
A bottle of pills stored in the Space was poured.
“Rumble, rumble—”
Two bolts of lightning struck at the same time. Su Xiaolu felt that her body was about to explode from the pain, and her mind felt like it was being pricked by needles.
It hurt. It hurt so much.
She could feel the blood seeping out of her pores. She could feel herself struggling on the brink of death.
But even though it hurt, she still used her mental strength and spiritual power to repair herself.
However, before she had time to recover, three more bolts of lightning struck her.
Su Xiaolu felt that all of her nerves were hurting. She did not even have the strength to move. She had lost all her senses.
She seemed to hear a roar.
She wanted to see, but her vision was red and she couldn’t hear clearly. She wanted to speak, but no sound came out.
“Rumble—”
The deafening thunder in her ears hit her. She screamed in pain. “Ah—”
Her head was about to explode. It hurt so much.
It hurt so much. Even breathing hurt. Her windpipe felt like it had been scraped by a knife.
Was there any more thunder?
She couldn’t take it anymore. If there was more, she was dead.
“Core Formation realm!”
A voice seemed to come from afar. Su Xiaolu’s consciousness was slow. What Core Formation?
She panted. She was in so much pain that she didn’t want to think about anything else. She just wanted to sleep like this for a while.
A comfortable force flowed through her limbs and bones. Su Xiaolu felt her heart burning.
The pain gradually subsided, and her mind began to ease.
Her eyes, ears, and nose began to slowly return to normal.
It was so noisy.
“Damn it, why is this beast so powerful? Why is that woman so lucky to have the protection of such a spirit beast!”
“Third Brother, stop talking. If we don’t kill this beast now, when that woman recovers, we’ll be the ones to die.”
Su Xiaolu looked over and saw three figures attacking Su Kuo in his beast form.
Su Kuo seemed to be struggling, but he did not retreat.
Su Xiaolu looked at the sky worriedly. The thunderclouds had not dispersed. Her lightning tribulation was not over yet.
She shivered at the thought of the pain.
As the thunderclouds gathered, the sky was dark and oppressive. Rumble— Several loud bangs fell in unison. Su Xiaolu felt that her consciousness was starting to dissipate. She was in so much pain that it hurt to be alive. She wanted to die.
Her heart began to burn. A force was left in her limbs. It was not enough to dispel the pain, but it could finally let her catch her breath.
At this moment, the three people attacked even more fiercely, as if they were risking everything.
Su Xiaolu was very worried that Su Kuo could not withstand it, but she could not even raise a finger. She could not help even if she wanted to.
