Chapter 313 [Hailstorm]
Jiang Lili's answer was fluent, blurting out the answer without thinking: "Because your kite string is not long enough, it doesn't fly high enough. And we are the goddess's subordinates, so of course our kites are not ordinary."
She spoke with conviction, then shook her head as if hopeless. "It's okay for kind-hearted children to eat clouds. But tell me, why are you going against the goddess? Why are you good children doing so many bad things to bully others? It's said that clouds are the ears of heaven. Be careful of retribution."
When Lu Yuanqing heard Jiang Lili's words, a trace of guilt flashed across his face. He convinced himself in his heart that these were all stories, made up.
Xin Che was at the stall next to Jiang Lili. He was wearing a rabbit mask and was dealing with a child who came to play with dolls. When he heard the conversation between Jiang Lili and Lu Yuanqing, he was immediately touched by Jiang Lili's cute answer. The eyes revealed through the mask were filled with smiles.
After a conversation, the marshmallows were ready. Jiang Lili handed them over and said, "Here, the white clouds are collected. Eat them before they are blown away by the wind."
Lu Yuanqing excitedly took the marshmallow and sniffed it first. The slightly sweet aroma made him feel excited.
Then he tore off a piece with his fingers and was surprised by the novel touch of the marshmallow, fluffy, but sticky between his fingers.
Looking at the fluffy "cloud" in his hand, Lu Yuanqing was extremely excited. He opened his mouth as wide as a great shark and was about to take a big bite of the marshmallow.
Suddenly, a drop of rain fell from the sky onto his marshmallow, followed by one drop, two drops...
It started raining, and the marshmallow in Lu Yuanqing's hand collapsed.
Lu Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, his mouth opened into an "O" shape, and for a moment he didn't know whether to cry or be angry.
But before he could react, a hailstone hit the ground, scaring him so much that his hand shook.
"It's hailing! Run!"
After exchanging a glance with Jiang Lili, Xin Che picked up Lu Yuanqing and the child who was throwing the ring, one on each side, and led them out directly.
Shouts rang out one after another in the amusement park. The royal nobles who were waiting for their children outside were dumbfounded and rushed into the park to take their children out.
"Quickly move under the city wall to hide!"
The Xin family army and the patrolling navy nearby immediately escorted everyone to the foot of the royal city tower.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the huge hailstones hitting the ground in the distance.
"A hailstorm that rarely happens in a century has unexpectedly struck at this time!"
The king came rushing over after hearing the news: "No one was hurt?"
The captain of the royal guard reported truthfully: "No, God made them evacuate in time."
Just now, hail was about to hit him, but it was God's messenger who saved him.
The prime minister beside the king spoke in a bad tone: "God's messenger, should we ask you what is going on with this sudden hailstorm?"
Wen Qiao's face was stern, and his tone was terrifyingly deep: "I want to know what's going on, too."
"My losses are even more severe than yours. My subordinates just reported that the amusement park is not operating normally. We have to investigate the cause overnight, otherwise we will not be able to explain to the guests who are going to enter the park tomorrow."
The royal family members looked over and saw that the amusement park in Sea Eagle Square was actually dark, and the original castle had collapsed. Of course, they didn't know that there was a power outage.
It felt like such a huge building suddenly deflated and fell to the ground. It must have been severely damaged.
The Prime Minister was a little aggressive: "Can't you pray for rain?"
“We also need to perform a rain-praying ceremony when praying for rain.”
Wen Qiao sneered: "To put it bluntly, if our goddess can make hail fall from the sky, why doesn't she just smash you and the royal guards to death and then take the whistle?"
Of course, it was because the ice factory Xiaopang contacted did not have enough ice.
When the Prime Minister heard Wen Qiao's words, he was choked. Although he was still full of doubts in his heart, he realized that he could not break this delicate balance.
At this time, Jiang Lili and Xin Che, who had taken off their disguises, came over with their men.
"The Goddess exists to save people from disaster, not to bring disaster upon them."
Xin Che's sharp eyes swept over the group of royal family members: "What's more, this disaster lasted only a short time and no one was hurt. It's more like a reminder and warning from heaven."
The interrogation in his tone touched the king's nerves: "King, your royal family has not done anything wrong behind our backs, has it?"
Xin Che's words made the royal family and the king's hearts skip a beat. Could this goddess be so powerful? Would the heavens even warn her of danger? Wouldn't their request for reinforcements be exposed?
Xin Che's eyes pierced the king like a knife, "Why else would this hailstorm only fall here in Haiyin Square?"
Of course, the old fox king denied it immediately: "How is it possible!"
"The goddess is so powerful, how dare we disrespect her?"
The royal family members who were originally angry and suspicious about the sudden hailstorm were no longer as arrogant as before because they felt guilty.
Jiang Lili, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up, her voice tinged with anger: "Okay, everyone, stop being suspicious of each other."
“If you are upright, you fear no crooked shadow.”
As she spoke in her goddess costume, the voice-changing effects in the group chat lit up, and her tone was cold, different from her usual timbre: "This hailstorm is just a wake-up call for those with guilty consciences."
After Jiang Lili finished speaking, Wen Qiao concluded: "It's getting late, and today's natural disaster has frightened everyone."
"Today we have lost more than six hundred taels of gold. Losing money will ward off disaster. We will not break the rules for you again. Please do as you please."
"We still need to investigate the cause of today's hailstorm with the goddess. We have so much to do, so we won't stay here long."
Jiang Lili waved her sleeves and left with the messengers.
The royal family members were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
The prince couldn't help but whisper, "They won't really find out anything, will they?"
I collected 600 taels of gold and experienced it for less than half an hour before I was forced to deal with it. I couldn't even look into the matter in detail. It was such a loss and so frustrating.
The king twisted the ruby ring on his finger and said, "If they really have such magical powers, then we will accept our fate."
"Until the dust settles, nothing can be said for sure. These people might just be trying to trick us. What we need to do now is to hold our ground."
There is something mysterious about this goddess. If their reinforcements arrive, they can control this goddess and the group of divine envoys and find out their secrets.
Maybe he would not only be able to control the country of Mi, but also continue to expand outward.
Thinking of this, the king's heart was filled with emotion.
