Chapter 22: I'm Not That Bad Either!

Chapter 22: I'm Not That Bad Either!

The descent of the purple thunderbolt from the sky was no longer a strange sight to Yu Yuanzhen.

Dugu Bo had been struck by it once before and was also unfazed.

However, Kong's reaction this time stunned them both.

Upon being struck by the purple thunderbolt, Kong didn't seem harmed at all; instead, he calmly sat down cross-legged and released his spirit, the Engulfing Lightning.

Yu Yuanzhen and Dugu Bo were taken aback as a third spirit ring appeared on the Engulfing Lightning—a purple spirit ring, but with a twist: it bore spiral patterns.

Seeing Kong's spirit and spirit rings, Dugu Bo was dumbfounded. The first two spirit rings were also purple? Well, no wonder he was someone who seemed to attract divine punishment!

Upon closer observation, Dugu Bo realized that Kong's spirit rings were different from normal ones.

After a brief reflection, Dugu Bo shook his head. It was not unusual for things to be different, was it? The first time Kong zoned out, they lost the land. The second time, a purple thunderbolt from the sky gave him his third spirit ring.

Dugu Bo, wise as he was, concluded that if Kong couldn't communicate with deities, he himself would stand on his head and wash his hair!

About half an hour later, the third "spirit ring" of the Engulfing Lightning stabilized, and Kong's spirit power level broke through to level 31...

Yu Yuanzhen and Dugu Bo kept their lips sealed about everything that had happened. Even to Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo never spoke of it.

That day, they had witnessed a miracle! The news of Yu Yuanzhen's breakthrough to level 98 wasn't widely spread; even people like Yu Luomian didn't know.

As for Dugu Bo joining the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect as Vice Clan Master, that too wasn't broadly publicized, as if it never happened.

Within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, only a few elders were privy to this information.

Five years later...

The young man looked helplessly at the older sister beside him, sighed, and said, "Yan sister, we're really not suitable. I already have someone I like."

With yellow hair and light purple eyes, a thunder-pattern hidden by his bangs on his forehead, he exuded a somewhat melancholic aura, presenting somewhat of a melancholic idol's charm.

"That's impossible, Kong. I know every girl you've met since you were six."

"With them, it's better to settle for me!"

"I'm not that bad either!"

The speaker was Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan, a tall and elegant young woman with long black hair...

The two had known each other for over five years, thanks to Dugu Bo's matchmaking.

"Yan sister, please don't be like this."

Kong felt a headache coming on; he really wasn't a playboy. He despised playboys the most!

"Yan sister, I'm only twelve, let's talk about this later."

Eventually, under Dugu Yan's pitiful gaze, Kong admitted defeat.

Dugu Yan sized up Kong, who, if he didn't mention his age, didn't really look twelve with his height around 178 cm.

Standing beside Dugu Yan, Kong was almost as tall as her, and they matched well in terms of looks.

Initially, Dugu Yan hadn't been interested in Kong at all, considering their age difference and the fact that he was six years younger—a whole spirit awakening cycle.

But as time passed and Dugu Bo frequently took her to see Kong, coupled with the rapid development common to spirit masters, it didn't take long for Dugu Yan to fall for his looks and talent...

Feeling that the real "drama" was about to start, Kong decided to step out from the back mountains of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect to see the world.

Unexpectedly, Dugu Yan somehow got wind of Kong's plans and insisted on leaving the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect with him.

Having known each other for many years, Kong found it hard to simply turn her away. To his surprise, Dugu Yan confessed her feelings today.

Holding Kong's hand, Dugu Yan smiled radiantly.

With a sigh, Kong prepared to find a place for them to stay.

Truth be told, Dugu Yan was impressive in many ways, but Kong's heart belonged to someone else—literally.

He feared the day when what fell from the sky might not be energy, but actual thunder!

The thought made Kong shiver. He still remembered when Raiden asked him what it meant to be a husband...

He could deceive the shogun, but not Raiden!

After all, Raiden was a demon goddess who had lived for thousands of years. Was she really that easy to fool?

To Kong's absolute shock, after learning about his feelings, Raiden simply asked lightly, "Traveler, do you wish to unite with me in marriage?"

In a moment of impulsiveness, Kong responded, "Yes!"

What followed was a silence that lasted three minutes.

"My lord husband."

Kong: "???"

He never expected Raiden to agree to this marriage...

Even now, Kong felt as if he were in a dream.

"My wife is the lightning shadow, the thunder god Belzebub!"

In fact, Raiden's fondness for Kong was at its maximum. Otherwise, she wouldn't have crossed dimensions to respond to him.

In Raiden's memory, it was Kong who led her out of the Pure Heartland, Kong who showed her another eternal direction, Kong who accompanied her to view the divine cherry blossoms, and it was still Kong...

The reason Raiden fell silent for three minutes after learning Kong wanted to marry her was that she was stunned.

Having secluded herself in the Pure Heartland for five hundred years, she had no real sense of time. Snapping back after just three minutes, or one hundred and eighty seconds, was actually quite fast for her.

As Kong was lost in thought, two surges of spirit power from nearby snapped him back to reality.

"Rose Hotel?"

Looking up, Kong was taken aback.

Dugu Yan also looked up, her eyes suddenly sparkling with golden light.

Young man, you're not being honest!

Without a second thought, Dugu Yan dragged Kong toward the Rose Hotel.

Kong: "…"

Yan sister, this is a misunderstanding, believe it or not!

Kong thought desperately.

He was really just curious about the two surges of spirit power he felt!

Who could have guessed it would be such a coincidence?

As soon as they entered the lobby, Dugu Yan stopped; were there two spirit masters dueling here?

One was a blond young man with heterochromia, and the other a black-haired, ordinary-looking young boy.

"Dai Mubai, spirit: Evil Eye White Tiger, level 37 aggressive combat soul honor, please instruct."

"Tang San, spirit: Blue Silver Grass, level 29 control-type soul grandmaster, please instruct."

Dai Mubai and Tang San paid no attention to the newly arrived Dugu Yan and Kong; their eyes were locked only on each other...
