Night fell quickly, and it was time for dinner. It was rare for the whole family to be together, and it was always warm to be together. Of course, if it weren't for Lao Mu's mouth, the whole dinner process would still be very enjoyable.
"Hey, Ah Huan, why do you suddenly want to go home? Are you out of money again?" Mu Yuntian picked up some dishes while giving Mu Huan the usual greetings from an old father.
"...Is it possible that I only came back because I had no money?" This is my biological father! Mu Huan forced himself to suppress his temper and gave Mu Yuntian a piece of meat with a forced smile.
"Old Mu, even food can't stop your mouth." Mu Huan glanced at his mother, she was pregnant!
"Old Mu! You said you collected so much money and so many rare treasures today, shouldn't you hand them over to my mother? Are you trying to keep them for yourself?" Fighting with her, huh! Don't you even consider the family status?
Mu Yuntian was stunned. He almost forgot about this! Glancing at the smiling Mu Huan, Mu Yuntian felt a lump of blood stuck in his throat. He couldn't swallow it either. The pain was unbearable!
"Hehe! Well, of course, these things must be given to Xue'er, how could I keep them for myself?" Mu Yuntian glanced at Si Xue flatteringly, "Madam, what's mine is yours, and what's yours is still yours!" Look at my reputation for a lifetime!
Si Xue found it funny. She was already such a grown-up, yet she was still so frivolous.
Then, the warm and cheerful conversation ended, and it was time to discuss the important matters! The servants cleared away the mess on the dining table, and the entire courtyard was deserted. But Si Xue was still worried, so a few people went to Mu Yuntian's study.
"What big news are you trying to tell me? Why are you so mysterious and coming to the study?" Mu Yuntian followed Si Xue's instructions and closed the door and windows of the study.
"Dad, I've found the Rain Spirit Flower that can help counteract my lightning attribute weakness. Now I can fully utilize my lightning power!" It was rare for Mu Huan to call him "Dad." Normally, he'd just call him "Old Mu" or "Old Mu." But if there was something important to discuss, Mu Huan would be serious.
Mu Yuntian's hand holding the teacup suddenly stopped, as if he suspected he had heard it wrong.
"What did you say?"
Mu Huan was also puzzled as to why his parents were so nervous, but he still patiently said it again.
Mu Yuntian slumped down on the stool, his expression somewhat serious. This day had finally arrived. He had originally thought it would be wonderful if he could never cultivate lightning spiritual power again, and live a peaceful life. But now it seemed that everything was already predetermined, and what was to happen could not be avoided.
Just like how they risked their lives to bring her to the netherworld, thinking they could live out their lives in peace. Yet, they were discovered by the Temple, by that person, and exploited by those with ulterior motives. The child's spirit bones were shattered at such a young age. Although heartbroken, they also knew that this was a way to protect Mu Huan.
That's a spirit bone! Even if you were to search the entire human race, you wouldn't necessarily find someone with a spirit bone. Heaven is jealous of talented people, and those aristocratic families are even more ugly.
"Dad, don't be so serious. I'm not used to this." She was used to Lao Mu's carefree and cheerful demeanor. It was rare for Mu Huan to see him this serious. She remembered the last time Lao Mu was this serious was when her spirit bones were shattered by those people.
Mu Yuntian knocked on Mu Huan's head. This naughty kid is really going to make trouble if he isn't punished for three days.
"It seems like everything is destined." Whatever Mu Huan has to endure and face will eventually come to pass. Finding and obtaining the Rain Spirit Flower so quickly must have taken a lot of effort on the child's part. Cultivating lightning spiritual power is arduous, but that's the path to becoming stronger.
"You must be prepared. Thunder spiritual power is different from other spiritual powers. Every time it advances, you have to endure the punishment of thunder." If you are not careful, your life may be lost to thunder.
"Haven't I always been preparing? To become stronger, I'm not afraid of hardship." Isn't this the journey of a strong person? If you can't even endure the slightest hardship, how can you achieve the Great Dao? How can you trample those who bully you underfoot?
"Okay, follow me!" Mu Yuntian moved the bookshelf away, and there was actually another compartment inside!
Mu Huan followed in small steps, and Si Xue followed in soon after. The compartment was huge, brightly lit, and it was actually illuminated by night-shining pearls. There were so many night-shining pearls! You wouldn't have thought Old Mu was so stingy, always pretending to be broke, but this study actually had a hidden gem. So many night-shining pearls! It wasn't something that could be accumulated overnight.
Mu Huan's eyes were sparkling at this moment. Apart from anything else, the fine tradition of loving money was really inherited from Old Mu.
Seeing Mu Huan's naive look, Mu Yuntian slapped her on the head out of frustration.
"I didn't let you in to see the night-shining pearls. Look at your behavior. How many years have you not seen night-shining pearls?"
Mu Yuntian had just finished beating Mu Huan when he was knocked to the ground by Si Xue the next moment.
"Just talk, why are you using your hands? You don't want your hands anymore, right?"
Mother is so powerful, and I feel sorry for Old Mu too!
Mu Yuntian felt wronged. She had known that she would definitely forget her husband after having a daughter, but she had never expected the gap to be so huge. The gap in her heart was widening every day. Forget it, family status is not something that can be won back overnight. Let's talk business first.
Mu Yuntian pointed to the big, sparkling ball inside and asked Mu Huan to look at it. It was the real lightning ball they brought from the upper realm. It was the legendary ball that could inspire beginners of thunder-type spiritual power. And the most important thing was that as long as you got its recognition, you could obtain the cultivation rules of thunder-type spiritual power from it.
"Back then, I understood a little bit of the cultivation rules from it, which made me what I am today." But after all, it is not the real body of the lightning ball, so there are not many rules contained in it, but it is enough to walk sideways in the lower realm.
Si Xue still vividly remembered the pain she'd experienced when she first comprehended the Law. While lightning spiritual power was hailed as the strongest offensive spiritual power, and many people yearned for it, few knew the immense price it would take to cultivate it.
Mu Huan touched her chin, feeling lucky it was still there! Her mother, who had been able to knock down a dozen or twenty strong men by herself, had only grasped a tiny bit of the lightning principle? Mu Huan suddenly couldn't wait to practice quickly. If she could master this, she would be able to walk sideways.
Furthermore, the person she had met earlier in the Youshan Mountains seemed surprised that she possessed lightning spiritual power. It seemed that in the upper realm, those with lightning spiritual power were rare.
