Chapter 77: Dead People Can’t Talk (2/2)
“Oh, is it the person who made you lose your magic sword?” The cold voice had a hint of curiosity.
“It is.” Alice admitted begrudgingly.
“Let’s go. Your cousin will let you vent some anger.” The cold voice said.
“Really?” Alice asked happily. If Cousin fought, then it would be a sure win. Cousin was a wizard! He had come from Lagark to here this time to visit home. It seemed like he had some business to discuss with Grandfather. With Cousin who was so strong fighting, how could that slut not be taught a lesson?
“Of course. She actually dared to bully our Alice. I’ll make her pay the price.” The indifferent voice held disdain.
“But it’s someone from the Hill clan. If we teach them a lesson now, will it cause trouble for Grandfather?” Alice bit her lip, somewhat wavering as she spoke.
“Dead people can’t talk.” The indifferent voice was sinister and confident.
“Cousin, is this ok?” Alice’s face revealed a hint of surprise.
“How is it not ok? Let’s go. Tell the coachman to turn around and follow.” The indifferent voice said maliciously.
“Okay.” Alice instructed the coachman to turn around, but an imperceptible trace of smile flashed from the depths from her eyes. She just knew with her cousin’s personality this kind of decision would be made.
Alice looked outside the city gate, snickering in her heart. Little slut, you won’t be killed so easily.
The carriage turned around, going outside the city speedily.
Currently, Claire had already slowed her speed, looking for a suitable area, preparing for heavenly tribulation. She didn’t know at the moment that a danger was approaching slowly.
Claire went out of the city, heading to a secluded area right outside the city. She really didn’t want the shocking scene of heavenly lightning being seen by other people.
In the early hours of the morning, the whole forest was very quiet, some drops of dew on leaves.
“Little leopard, wait for me over there.” Claire patted the wind leopard’s head, pointing to a nearby stone in front of them. Then, Claire brought down White Emperor from her head and put it on the wind leopard’s head. “White Emperor, you should also go over there.”
The wind leopard raised White Emperor up, walked over, laid on the big stone, and waited obediently.
Claire found a dry and clean place, sat down in the lotus position, and extended out her spiritual sense, feeling the surroundings. The surroundings were calm, without any anomalies. It was only after Claire set up a barrier that she started to practice the golden lotus force, preparing to break through into the third level.
Claire’s whole body emitted a faint, golden light, the radiance growing stronger. Again, the mysterious realm appeared where she could sense everything in the surroundings clearly.
Suddenly, an unrestrained Qi arose. Claire was a little astonished. Just as Golden Lotus said, the beginning levels harmonized magic elements and Dou Qi, very easy to break through. She remembered Golden Lotus saying before that if she didn’t give birth to him, then she could only cultivate to the Treasured Lotus Style’s tenth level, in other words, the equivalent of a Sorcerer’s power. With this she could infer from what Golden Lotus said, that she could quickly cultivate to the seventh level, meant that it was also her level of magic right now, a wizard. So it was split up like this. Claire suddenly understood. Anyways, the second level of the Treasured Book of the Lotus could extend her consciousness to sense the environment; what kind of mysterious power would she get after breaking through into the third level?
Meanwhile, the sky above her slowly darkened, black clouds quickly closing in.
The heavenly tribulation was about to arrive.
But Claire wasn’t worried at all. In any case, Golden Lotus would block for her.
Wind leopard, who was at the side, dug with his front claws a little fretfully and uneasily. Although it had gone through this kind of situation before, the strange situation in the sky made one’s heart frightened.
More and more black clouds gathered, amassing above Claire in a blink of an eye. Lightning rumbled amidst the layers of black clouds, a terrifying sight.
Alice and her cousin both looked at the strange sight in the sky in shock. Lightning? Why would a mass of black clouds gather there, rumbling with lightning?
“Ma, you can even take a nap right now. It’ll be done in a bit.” Golden Lotus said arrogantly.
“Who can sleep with such loud noise?” Claire grumbled, looking at the black clouds that covered the sky densely. Again, she felt the hot and unbearable fiery sensation on her back. Claire knew another flower petal was blossoming.
“I wasn’t saying to exaggerate, I meant to make you, Ma, feel relieved, feel relieved.”Golden Lotus added, still arrogantly.
“I broke through the third level. Why can’t I feel any anomalies?” Claire reached out her hand and looked at her palm, not feeling anything unusual.
“Ma, in a bit when you meditate, you’ll know.” Golden Lotus said mysteriously, giving a cliffhanger.
“Ah?” Claire was puzzled.
“Think about it, I’m so awesome, so how can your Spiritual level from cultivating be bad?” Golden Lotus said arrogantly, then said disdainfully, “Wait for a moment, I’ll finish eating the lightning first.”
Claire was bored to death, waiting for the sky’s lightning to descend. Currently, she was wrapped up in a giant golden lotus.
The rumbling of thunder resonated into the horizons with an indescribable pressure that made one frightened.
