Eyes to a certain direction

Shen Yue resisted and ran for the door but due to her lack of strength and cultivation, she was caught back again and pushed back on the bed. "I'm annoyed, Shen Yue!" His voice was raised again, and he couldn't help but sit down on the bed, covering his face. "What is it that you can't tell me? Are we not bound together for life? Why must an outsider know it first, before your husband?"

The feeling of disappointment and giving up washed over him again. Nothing happened then, until a few minutes passed and his mind began to clear up. "I'm really sorry." He looked at her who was clutching on the blanket, covering herself with it. "Forgive me, it must have hurt. I shouldn't have…"

But Shen Yue didn't move nor respond. She only looked at his eyes, watching every emotion he was going through, until finally, she gave up too. "Go bring a few jugs of wine and drink them all. Then I'll call Yun Wei to tell you.." Her hopes of him getting drunk was of course, useless and she's well aware. The core can disperse the effects of it within a matter of seconds, leaving the person sober.

"You know what, don't even. I'll drink the liquor and tell you myself."

"You don't have…"

"Get the damn wine, Renshu!"

He quickly obeyed what he was ordered to and returned within minutes. Thereupon Shen Yue chugged two jars in an instant. The effects were quick and powerful, causing her to almost fall unconscious due to its after-effects. "So, you want to know about me? Huh?"

"…"

She started,

"It all began in a world similar to here, but quite different. Murder is everywhere, and nothing can stop it. Only those who are powerful or have strong allies can live. You all call it the immortal world.

The crimes were high, and the sinners came unpunished. That is, until a few people banded together. People like you, Lixing. People whose temperament is worse than yours and are strictly rule-abiding citizens. They, too, have lightning abilities, strong, weak, it didn't matter. Anybody who could control the Lightning and are strictly determined to better the world, are welcome.

Their group built a tower and a residence, vast and peaceful. It was called the Lightning's protection. Hah, protection, shizz. Starting from then on, those lightning masters began to make rules—Laws and regulations that everyone should follow. They were like Rulers ruling a country, if I may say so.

In the beginning, it was difficult to make people obey. Every person is still blood-lusting, taking revenge, and even committing simple crimes such as stealing immortal-grade weapons. They asked themselves, how can we make them take us seriously? Oh! Let's all actually punish them! Kill them, torture, take their cultivation away! And they did. By groups of five, they one by one punished everybody who they saw doing crimes.

Mind you, There were only about 13 of them at that time. Compared to the thousands of immortals that live there, they were nothing but ants. However! There's a reason why lightning gifted people like yourself come only once every hundred thousand years.

The power you all hold is comparably better and purer than anybody else's'. You are the embodiment of punishment and purity — the roar of tigers and the goddesses' men. With every whip of the Lightning you can control, nobody will go unwounded.

Fun fact, I bet the thunder you hear after every Lightning is the screams of those immortals. In the immortal world, there's nothing like those sounds. Lightning is a silent killer.

—So from then on, people tried to kill the members of the Lightning Protection. Guess what? They remained strong and standing. Their hardship allowed them to find something better than Lightning. Something more potent than the ascending lightning tribulation. It's called lightning possession.

Its colours are purple, and as indicated in the name, it possesses the whole body. Even your core, which is completely absorbed and integrated with your own soul, separates. That's how strong it is. After separating them, they don't even bother to use another decisive move. Their minds can simply command the ascending Lightning to come and crush your core, then force you to become human. Well, not human but a soul.

Unable to endure the surrounding immortals' unsuppressed energy or the pressure of the surrounding Qi, their soul goes crack. Sometimes, whoosh! There are, of course, exceptions instead of dissipating. The stripped spirit could return to the natural cycle of life.

More than a million years passed, their influence has grown. Nobody could stop them after a lightning protection shield was invented to directly bring them down a level. It was used as a shield for the whole Lightning people's residence.

Nobody dared to challenge them, or even if somebody does, the enemy will be defeated. Thousands upon thousands of years passed, and their members increased. The lightning protection's reputation skyrocketed, and not many dared to wantonly kill.

A trial court was made outside of their residence, and many more things. One day, close to that court, a fight broke out between the two opposite sides. Everything was all jumbled up, and many immortals died in the process. A young child was on the audience's side, watching everything happen when a person came to attack. The kid didn't want to be hurt because it would cause all the child's loved ones to worry. Another hundred years of house isolation might even be necessary to 'fix' the kid's behaviour. So little midget fought back.

In the end, the lightning possession was used unjustly, and (I) came down came a fallen immortal…"

Shen Yue drank the last drop of the wine and closed her eyes. As expected, she fell asleep on the bed, which was wet from the wine drops earlier.

Meanwhile, Yun Renshu was still processing all the information. Indeed, his main question was answered, but many more questions arose. 'Ah, little by little, I'll make her explain.' He thought to himself and began to change the sheets before putting her back again. His eyes travelled down towards a particular direction.

*Cough cough cough!*
