An accident forces the mortal Zhang Shaozhong to sign a soul contract with his nemeses: the aloof and proud fairy Ling Qingxue and the enchanting and seductive demoness Ye Meier.
With their l...
After the disastrous "lipstick formation" last time, Ling Qingxue kept quiet for two days.
However, she did not give up her obsession with "setting up an array in this world," but instead devoted herself even more to studying the "rules" of this world.
She's read Zhang Shaozhong's book "Principles of Household Circuits" so many times it's almost frayed. She's also asked Zhang Shaozhong to help her find a lot of popular science videos about electromagnetic fields and energy conversion to watch.
In this world, electricity is everywhere, powering all kinds of objects and containing powerful energy.
This is far more powerful than that meager spiritual energy of heaven and earth! If we could guide and utilize this electricity as the energy source for the formation…
Once the thought arose, it grew wildly in the fairy's mind.
She stared at the dark little hole in the wall socket, her eyes filled with curiosity and... eagerness.
Zhang Shaozhong recently noticed that Ling Qingxue kept lingering around electrical outlets and appliances, which made him a little uneasy. He repeatedly warned her, "Fairy, electricity is very dangerous! Don't touch it! It can kill you! It's similar to the lightning tribulation in your place! Just look at it, don't touch it!"
Ling Qingxue outwardly agreed, but inwardly she disagreed.
Tribulation lightning? She's survived it before, even in her prime.
Could this mere mortal "electricity" be more powerful than heavenly thunder? Zhang Shaozhong must be exaggerating.
Ye Meier scoffed at this: "Pretentious hypocrite, are you really going to get into a fight with that electricity? Is that something you can just play with like that? Be careful you don't get electrocuted!"
Ling Qingxue, however, wore an air of scholarly inquiry: "This 'electric energy' flows rapidly and possesses immense power. Although it is violent and unruly, if it can be harnessed for one's own use, it might be able to replace spiritual energy and become the foundation of the array formations in this world. Its principle seems to share some similarities with lightning magic..."
Zhang Shaozhong felt a chill run down his spine and quickly warned, "Fairy! Stop! Electricity is no joke! It's extremely dangerous! Even a mortal like us could die from touching it. Although you're physically stronger, you still can't withstand it! Besides, the circuit has protection; messing with it will trip the circuit breaker and even cause a fire!"
Ling Qingxue nodded outwardly, but the eagerness in her eyes was impossible to hide.
Zhang Shaozhong was still worried, so he specifically pointed out the location of the electrical box in the house to her and repeatedly emphasized that she absolutely must not touch it.
However, the righteous path is one foot high, but the demons are ten feet high... no, it's that the hearts of immortals are unfathomable.
That evening, Zhang Shaozhong and Ye Meier watched a movie in the living room, while Ling Qingxue, as usual, was "studying" in the study.
The movie was at its climax when suddenly—
"Smack!"
A soft popping sound came from the direction of the study, and then the whole room was plunged into darkness!
TV, lights, router... all the appliances are out of order!
"Holy crap! What's going on? Did the power trip?"
Zhang Shaozhong was startled and subconsciously looked towards the study, a strong sense of foreboding welling up in his heart.
Ye Meier was also stunned for a moment, then gloated, "Hahaha! She's definitely just pretending to be high-minded! Let her mess things up! Now she's really messed up!"
Zhang Shaozhong's heart skipped a beat. He took out his phone, turned on the flashlight, and rushed to the study.
Pushing open the door, one could see Ling Qingxue standing in front of the desk, one hand still outstretched, a faint blue light flashing from her fingertips, her whole demeanor somewhat... dazed.
Her smooth, black hair was sticking up slightly, giving off a faint... burnt smell?
His face still wore a peculiar expression that mixed shock, bewilderment, and a hint of... tingling.
A faint, mixed smell, similar to ozone and burnt plastic, filled the air.
"Fairy! Are you alright?"
Zhang Shaozhong rushed over and looked her up and down by the light of his phone, worried that she might have been electrocuted somewhere.
He grabbed Ling Qingxue's hand and saw that her once jade-like fingertips were now slightly red and even a little hot, obviously burned by the electric sparks.
"I'm fine." Ling Qingxue withdrew her hand and said calmly, "It's just a slight tingling sensation and a slight fluctuation in my blood and qi."
Ling Qingxue slowly turned her head, her eyes still somewhat unfocused. She opened her mouth, her voice trembling slightly, a rare occurrence: "Just now... this 'electric energy' was indeed... extremely domineering."
It turned out that she had just connected several copper wires that she had stripped herself, and arranged them according to her understanding of a "simple energy-guiding array," trying to guide electrical energy to form a weak protective barrier.
As a result... before the formation was completed, the powerful electric current instantly pierced through her rudimentary "formation base," causing a short circuit, and she herself was hit directly by the instantaneous current!
Although her physical condition meant that the 220V household electricity wouldn't cause serious harm, the intense, irresistible tingling and numbness that swept through her body instantly was something she had never experienced before!
It felt as if every muscle and every nerve was dancing uncontrollably, and even my soul trembled!
This feeling is even more... intense than being struck by a lightning spell from a cultivator of the same level?
"Overbearing?! My goodness! That can kill people!"
Zhang Shaozhong was almost in tears. While checking her for injuries, he roared with lingering fear, "Do you know how dangerous that was! Luckily it was just a power outage! What if... what if..." He didn't dare to think any further.
Ye Meier also came over, shining her flashlight on Ling Qingxue's slightly messy hair and adorable expression, laughing so hard she almost fell over: "Oh my! I'm dying of laughter! You're such a hypocrite, your look is quite unique! How was the electrotherapy?"
Our dignified fairy almost got killed by 220 volts of household electricity? If this got back to our hometown, it would be an unbelievable story! Hahaha!
Ling Qingxue's cheeks flushed slightly as Ye Meier laughed, but she was powerless to refute it. This time, she had indeed been too presumptuous.
