Chapter 55 (1/2)

It wasn’t easy for Shen Zhe to leave the campus.

He sighed and shook his head.

“Thank God it will only last for an hour, or I would be exhausted by using this look!”

He had thought that staying handsome would be wonderful, but he changed his mind once he walked out of the school.

Sometimes, handsomeness was a crime!

Girls were flocking to see him. There were even guys who said they loved him…

How could he train under such circumstances?

He finally got rid of the crazy fans and found a decent clothing store.

He bought a few changes of clothes and wore one of them, making him look even more handsome by the way the clothes fitted him.

The clerk who fetched the clothes for him passed out in excitement when he smiled at her.

After he paid for the clothes, the dull air was ripped apart by thunder, and a heavy storm poured again.

“A thunder…”

The thunder meant that he could enjoy lightning strikes again.

However… The box where Cui Xiao kept his lemons was not around…

“It doesn’t matter. All I need is a piece of long ironware…”

Looking around in the room, Shen Zhe soon found something.

“Are your pole and your hangers for sale?”

The pole in the clothes shop was made of iron. The hangers were made of fine steel, too.

“Well…”

The boss was stunned, not knowing why Shen Zhe would buy those. However, Shen Zhe had bought too many things, and he didn’t want to refuse requests from such a customer. “If you want them, you can take them for free…”

“Thank you…”

Shen Zhe took a pole and a dozen hangers. Tying the hangers on the pole, he strode into the storm.

“Handsome, it’s pouring outside. Here’s an umbrella…”

The clerk who had woken up ran out with an umbrella, only to find that he was nowhere to be seen.

The handsome guy was no longer there.

“He left…”

The umbrella fell on the ground, and the clerk was at a loss.

…

He needed to be struck in the rain; umbrellas were of no use to him. His new clothes were covered in oilcloth and wouldn’t get wet.

Shen Zhe rushed out of the city.

He had caught a lot of attention when he wasn’t laying now. He didn’t want anyone to notice him when he illuminated the stars with lightning.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to explain.

Since his veins had been restored, the brilliant power of the stars flowed incessantly; their power supported him, melting him into the rain.

Hu!

After a long time, Shen Zhe finally left the city. The high wall of the city loomed in the darkness under the heavy storm, just like an unshakable mountain.

“This is the place…”

He placed the package with his clothes on a tree branch. Then, he raised the pole high above his head in an empty environment.

Hualala!

The dozen hangers shivered and vibrated like flags.

“Lightning, be more violent!”

Crack!

A lightning bolt struck Shen Zhe and drowned him.

…

“Your Highness, a storm is going on outside, and your body is too weak…”

An armored guard was anxiously holding an umbrella for the princess.

“It’s fine. I’m just checking the city wall of Green Abyss to see if it needs broadening…”

Xiao Yurou shook her head and reached the top of the wall.

She only had three months left to live. The only thing she could do was to consider everything that could be considered to repay her father’s love.

In the pouring storm, Xiao Yurou reached a tower on the wall and looked at the city.

All the houses were brightly lit by candles and lamps.

The dynasty had been established for hundreds of years, but it was still stable and prosperous. Everybody lived a happy life.

Her father was truly a magnificent monarch.

She then looked outside the city. Mount Thorn protruded from the ground like an enormous crouching dragon, imposing a heavy pressure.

The guard suddenly called, “Your Highness, look. What’s that?”

Looking at the place his finger was pointing at, Xiao Yurou saw a handsome man in a black cloak walking out of the city.

He was too far away for her to see his looks, but his manners were so impeccable that he looked like a deity from the sky.

“What… is he doing?”

Xiao Yurou frowned.

He left the city without an umbrella in such a storm. Was he planning to commit suicide?

While she was puzzled, the stranger had placed a bag with things on a branch and then lifted what appeared to be an iron stick.
