Chapter 153: Famous Across Ten Villages 8

Rumble rumble—

Another round of muffled thunder sounded across the sky.

Qi Yuancheng gulped.

“It’s thundering?” Madam Wu muttered as she curled a hand around her neck. She was also shocked.

Qi Yuancheng pretended to be unbothered and said, “It’s almost the new year’s and the weather hasn’t been good. It already snows a lot so there’s nothing strange about the thunder.”

Madam Guo nodded as well.

All she could think about now was how she wanted her mother-in-law and husband to take Qi Qingyao down soon, then the house would definitely be theirs. Qi Yuancheng and Qi Yuanye were definitely not qualified to live there. It would be such a relief when she could move her family into this beautiful, multi-floored building.

The surrounding onlookers’ were at a complete loss.

They thought of what the youth had just said…

Everyone subconsciously looked toward Qi Yuancheng, who was still so aggressive.

Qi Yuancheng was still speaking with so much arrogance. “Both you damned crooks better leave our village and leave my sister alone. Stop abetting and imprisoning her.”

It was too late and too soon.

The moment Qi Yuancheng said this, a sharp blue flash swept across the sky right before a bolt of lightning hit the ground, frightening everyone.

Nobody managed to react.

Another three to four bolts of blue and white light flashed throughout the sky, white tails trailing behind them. The illumination burst in front of everyone’s eyes.

It was as if someone had thrown a flash bomb in front of them out of nowhere and rendered everyone momentarily blind.

After the lightning subsided, everyone’s eyes gradually readjusted to the light.

When they eventually opened their eyes, they saw in front of them a scorched humanoid figure that had been struck by lightning. It also exuded the smell of charred flesh…

After clearly seeing what that object was, a shriek burst forth from the crowd.

“Ahhhhhhh!!”

“Dead, he’s dead!”

One of the relatively calmer men walked up to take a look. He then said with a shudder, “He’s burnt to a crisp.”

Jiang Yeqian stood beside the carriage, his gaze fixed intently on the scorched blackness. He could barely pick out the ‘person’ he was facing before and his brows furrowed.

One after another, the people in the crowd screamed.

“Someone has been struck dead by lightning!!”

“Oh God!”

Those who were aware of the situation had been shocked out of their wits and some could not help but empty the contents of their stomach at the side from the peculiar stench of charred flesh in the air.

The people of the Qi family were some of the last to realize what was going on. After looking through the crowd for a moment, they then realized that the object that had been scorched black by the lightning was their very own Qi Yuancheng.

“Ah, Yuancheng! My son, no! What happened to you! Wake up, don’t scare your mother!!”

Madam Wu looked as white as a sheet of paper.

“Yuancheng!!”

“Big brother, wake up!”

“Master—”

“My son!!”

The onlookers were all so shocked that they had already retreated ten steps away. Some of them were still shivering nonstop.

They were discussing amongst themselves.

“Didn’t the young boy say a little while ago to be careful not to get struck by lightning from telling too many lies? It came true.”

“He must have been lying!”

“Qingzhou City is a spooky place. This place is blessed with several koi temples all around yet he still dared to lie out loud. The koi god must have been sick of it.”

In the village, Old Man Wang said in disgust, “The old Qi family was obviously the ones to sever their relationship since they no longer wanted to support the Eleventh Daughter whom they considered nothing more than trash. Now that she’s rich, they’re trying to get a piece of the pie and even made bogus accusations against her today. I had been waiting for the Eleventh Daughter to come and explain things clearly, but I didn’t think… what was said actually came true. The wicked will reap what they sow.”

…

The old masters who had been busying themselves working on the house had also stopped when they heard the thunderbolt outside. In the end, they came out and saw on the ground that someone had been struck dead by lightning!

The old masters’ eyes bulged like eggs as they took in the scene.

This…did someone actually get struck dead by lightning?

Impossible!

The scene had begun to descend into chaos. Only Jiang Yeqian’s deep and bottomless eyes were fixed in a dead stare at Si Jin.
