Chapter 220 Thankfully, that little brat has no connection with any powerful beings.
Yu Mansion.
Yu Mingyu looked at the tribulation lightning in the sky, her face turning deathly pale.
He had a premonition that the appearance of this terrifying lightning was related to his younger sister.
Why was the little sister struck by lightning?
He wanted to help, but then he thought, he's just an ordinary person, what help could he possibly be?
Even the emperor was alarmed. After the lightning subsided, the emperor ordered people to go and check the situation.
When the Imperial Guards in charge of the investigation arrived, they found that apart from a piece of land that had been struck by lightning and was completely unrecognizable, there were no clues left behind.
Looking at the deep crater in front of him, someone couldn't help but shudder and say, "What kind of terrifying lightning must have struck to create such a huge crater?"
Others wholeheartedly agreed.
The pit in front of us was about five or six meters deep and more than ten meters wide.
The entire pit was covered with mottled, charred marks from being struck by lightning, which looked quite frightening.
They simply couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if that lightning struck someone.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Look!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
The speaker pointed to a patch of land and said, "I remember when we first came here, this place was barren and lifeless. But in just a short while, tender green grass has sprouted on that land."
Another person exclaimed, "Look, there's something in the pit!"
Everyone looked into the pit again and saw that the deep pit, which had been completely unrecognizable not long ago, was now covered with tender grass.
Everyone gasped in unison: "My God! This is incredible!"
In just half a night, they witnessed the grass grow from nothing to something and then to thrive, leaving everyone astonished.
By the time dawn broke, the grass had stopped growing, and the imperial guards returned to report.
After the Imperial Guards left, a figure quietly approached the deep pit.
Looking at the spiritual energy overflowing from the pit, the old woman's eyes surged with deep jealousy.
"Damn it, she actually got away!"
The way of Heaven is so unfair. Righteous people are given so much spiritual energy after they reach the Foundation Establishment stage to help them improve their strength, but those of the evil path are stingy and miserly, and they might even be struck down by lightning to kill them if they are not careful.
After a long while, the old woman forced herself to calm down.
Forget it, don't covet opportunities that aren't meant for you.
This has been her guiding principle for nearly a century.
Of course, if an opportunity arises, it's not impossible to give it a shot.
Now, her target is that little bitch Yu Zhiyi.
She should be thankful that the little bitch was just a novice.
It has absolutely no connection with that Foundation Establishment Realm expert.
With this in mind, she returned to the city.
Start looking for the next target.
The fertility pill she told Consort Yu was fake, but her need for nine souls was real.
All nine souls must be women, and all of them must be pregnant.
Before they are killed, they will watch helplessly as their children are ripped out and lose all life before their very eyes.
A woman who dies tragically under such circumstances will become a vengeful ghost dressed in red.
That's not all.
She will merge these nine vengeful ghosts into one, creating the Green-Slaying Ghost.
No matter how powerful that little girl is, she's no match for the Green Demon.
"Little brat, I'll investigate slowly. The feeling of being killed by the very ghost you wanted to avenge in the end must be awful, right? Hahahaha!"
The next day, night fell.
There was a knock on the door of a clinic in the city, and a young pregnant woman called out from inside, "I'm sorry, our clinic is already closed."
The knocking continued, accompanied by a woman's weak cries for help: "Sister Liu, help...help me..."
The voice sounded somewhat familiar, and the pregnant woman immediately opened the door: "Xiaoxue, what's wrong?"
Xiaoxue said weakly, "My mother has fallen ill again."
Xiaoxue was a regular at this clinic because her mother was in poor health and often needed the clinic's doctors to go out for consultations.
This outpatient work is performed by young pregnant women.
In recent years, she has made me visit Xiaoxue's home at least ten times a year. However, Xiaoxue's family is poor and cannot afford the medical expenses, so the medical expenses have been paid on credit for the past few years.
Over the years, I have accumulated more than ten taels.
The young pregnant woman was kind-hearted, and since the clinic belonged to her family, she didn't pressure Xiaoxue's family to repay their debts.
Cases like this, where patients seek medical attention at night, are not many, but they are certainly not uncommon. The pregnant woman sighed, "Wait for me a moment, I'll go and call my husband."
She turned and walked into the house, completely unaware that beneath Xiaoxue's drooping eyelids lay a pair of eyes filled with apology.
Just as the pregnant woman was about to go to the backyard to call for help, the temperature inside the clinic suddenly dropped. She was clearly dressed warmly, but she was soon shivering from the cold.
The pregnant woman looked around in confusion, wondering why it had suddenly become so cold.
Just then, Xiaoxue's voice rang out from behind: "Sister Liu..."
Liu Lianqiao turned her head and heard Xiaoxue say the last two words: "I'm sorry..."
The next second, Xiaoxue grabbed her by the neck.
Liu Lianqiao struggled to pry Xiaoxue's hands off, but she had lost the initiative. Moreover, she was pregnant and her body was already weak, while Xiaoxue had been doing farm work for many years and was much stronger than her.
Soon, she was choked until her eyes rolled back and her consciousness became blurred.
Just when she thought she was about to be strangled to death, a cold female voice rang out: "That's enough, if you keep strangling me, I'll die."
Xiaoxue let go, and Liu Lianqiao's body slumped to the ground.
She did not die; she retained a sliver of consciousness.
But that didn't work.
The clinic wasn't in a bustling area, but it wasn't remote either. It wasn't curfew yet, and people were passing by on the street from time to time, but no one noticed anything unusual about the clinic, much less the poor pregnant woman who was about to be killed.
Behind the clinic was the living area of Liu Lianqiao's family. At that time, her parents-in-law and husband were preparing to eat in the backyard.
Liu Lianqiao only went out to check the situation because she happened to hear the knocking when she went to the toilet. Who would have thought she would encounter such a thing?
What she couldn't understand even more was why, after so much time had passed, her family hadn't realized she hadn't returned home.
She tried to speak up for help.
The throat, which had just been choked to the point of near breakage, could only produce a faint sound that couldn't reach the backyard.
An old woman, dressed in a black cloak and hunched over, shoved a dagger into Xiaoxue's hand and encouraged her with a hoarse voice and a smile, "Go, dig out the child from her belly."
Liu Lianqiao: "!!"
Her pupils constricted sharply; she was terrified.
As Xiaoxue shook her head and begged for forgiveness as she walked towards her, Liu Lianqiao felt both angry and desperate.
Why?
Why is it that the person she's helped for so many years is such an ingrate?!
A tremendous sense of powerlessness and hatred welled up within her.
