While undergoing a heavenly tribulation, Jian Ning was struck dead by a sudden bolt of lightning amplified a thousandfold.
In her final moments, a fragment of her soul fled with her celestial...
Have you ever been struck by lightning?
Do you know what it feels like? Your whole body goes numb, and your limbs tremble like a leaf.
This is Jian Ning's most personal experience.
What's gotten into the heavens today? It's just a tribulation lightning bolt from a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, why is it striking endlessly?
As the dark clouds gathered again in the sky, the black cloud layer pressed lower and lower.
Purple lightning twisted and tumbled in the clouds, followed by a deafening roar as a massive pillar of lightning struck Jian Ning directly.
"My life is over!" In the instant the lightning struck, Jian Ning mustered all her strength to gather the last wisp of her divine consciousness, wrapped her immortal abode around her charred body, and fled for her life.
"Press harder, maybe try artificial respiration?"
"You said she can't swim either, so why would she jump into the river? Is it a suicide pact?"
"How could that be? Jian Ning isn't the kind of person who would be so petty. I heard yesterday that she was preparing a Qixi Festival gift for Li Mingxuan. I haven't heard anything about any conflict between the two of them."
"What time is it? Instead of saving lives, you guys have time to gossip? Jian Ning, wake up! The ambulance is almost here! Hang in there!"
These sounds are so loud!
My head is throbbing, I feel nauseous and want to vomit, and I feel weak all over.
Jian Ning hadn't felt this uncomfortable since she started cultivating immortality. After struggling for a long time, she finally managed to open her eyes.
A familiar, handsome face was looking at her nervously.
"You're awake! Jian Ning, you scared us to death! You weren't careful walking by the river. If your senior hadn't found you and rescued you, what if something had really happened?"
"Miao Xin, why are you talking so much nonsense? Quickly help her up, the ambulance is here, let's take her to the hospital first."
After hearing those words, Jian Ning lost consciousness again.
When she woke up again, all around was quiet, the white walls and the smell of disinfectant in the air reminded her that she was in a hospital.
Many memories that didn't belong to her inexplicably appeared in her mind.
This body is also called Jian Ning, a sophomore at the Medical School of Jiang City. After experiencing the apocalypse for ten years, she felt neither joy nor excitement when she was reborn.
Instead, they gave up struggling the moment they fell into the water, easily abandoning the hard-won opportunity to live a second life.
With less than two months until the apocalypse, typhoons, torrential rains, extreme cold, extreme heat, and all sorts of harsh and extreme weather conditions make it incredibly difficult for humanity to survive.
These weren't the most important things, but the betrayal of her best friend was the final straw that broke her. When the cold blade pierced her chest, her eyes were filled with disbelief.
The timid woman never thought about revenge; instead, she just wanted to die and never want to live in this miserable world again.
"What a big idiot!" Jian Ning rolled her eyes dramatically.
The original owner of this body probably has some connection with her, and it should be her past life from who knows how many years ago, because her soul and this body are a perfect match.
Apart from a slight headache, I'm currently in good health.
Jian Ning glanced at the IV needle stuck in the back of her hand and sat up, intending to pull it out.
"Hey, don't move! There's still more than half a bottle left to be injected." The nurse next to her saw this and quickly came over to stop her.
"Hello, nurse, I'm fine now, can I go home now?" Jian Ning asked quickly as the nurse helped her lie down.
"No, the doctor said you have a brief reflex apnea. Although it didn't last more than five minutes, it could still cause brain damage. It's best to be hospitalized for observation."
"But nurse, I don't have money to be hospitalized, I'm really not lying to you,"
Jian Ning suddenly remembered that she was still poor; the money she earned from her part-time job had just been enough to buy Li Mingxuan a matching couple's backpack as a Qixi Festival gift. She figured the remaining money wouldn't be enough to cover the medical expenses.
"The classmate who brought you here has already paid your medical bills and is now going to get you some food. They should be back in a bit. Just lie still and don't move around!"
After the nurse finished speaking, she turned and walked out. She had work to do and couldn't stay there watching.
Jian Ning waited until she was far away, then removed the IV herself. She pressed the needle with her finger for a while, and seeing that the bleeding had stopped, she picked up her phone from the bedside table and sneaked out of the ward.
She didn't want to face Miao Xin, the original owner's classmate and best friend, yet. The two were too familiar, and she was afraid that she might say something wrong that would arouse Miao Xin's suspicion.
He managed to slip out of the hospital, looked around, and, relying on his memory, walked along the road for more than ten minutes before finally returning to his small rented room.
This house is on the third floor and is only 42 square meters. Although it is not large, it has everything you need and has nothing missing.
He entered the password, opened the door, went inside, lay down on the bed, and sighed softly.
It seems she'll have to live in this body from now on. I wonder if her foolish disciples will be saddened to learn she was struck by lightning and died!
I picked up the phone and checked it out; it's good, the quality is excellent!
After drying it, it still works!
Looking at the 2143 yuan in my phone balance, I feel even more troubled. What should I do?
As I recall, tomorrow is the rent payment day. The rent for this apartment is 650 yuan per month, so it would be 1950 yuan for three months.
After paying the rent, she didn't have much money left for food.
This original owner of the body is such a love-struck fool. She's broke as a beggar, yet she still buys gifts for that scumbag. Is she planning to starve herself?
Forget it, there's always a way out. She should focus on regaining her strength before thinking about anything else.
I sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate.
He opened his eyes again after a short while and sighed deeply.
The spiritual energy in the air was extremely thin, incomparable to her previous world.
This is terrible! The apocalypse is coming. She has no money, no magic, and no strong body. How is she going to survive?
"You fly freely in my heart!" The phone rang suddenly, startling Jian Ning.
Looking at the constantly flashing caller ID for Miao Xin, she took a deep breath before sliding the green answer button.
"Jian Ning, where did you go? The nurse is still looking for you. Your medication hasn't finished." A sweet female voice asked anxiously, filled with concern.
"I'm home now, everything's fine."
"Jian Ning, how could you sneak out like that? I even brought you your food. The doctor said you can't be discharged yet; you need to be observed for a couple more days."
"Listen to me, come back quickly, or I'll take a taxi to your house to pick you up."
"No need to trouble yourself, I won't go. You should go home early too. Thank you for today." Jian Ning's tone was somewhat indifferent.
