"This …"
The lady in white stood in the deep pit beside Fenghao. She raised her head and looked at the black tribulation clouds in the sky. Her bright eyes flickered with a pondering expression. After a long while, she shook her head in a somewhat dejected manner and said, "There's no other way."
"Oh."
Fenghao responded. A hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes. However, he quickly got over it.
The Heavenly Punishment was formed from the will of the world. Even though the white-robed woman before him had an extraordinary background and was able to evade the Heavenly Punishment's targeting for some unknown reason, if she could really deal with the Heavenly Punishment, wouldn't that mean that she would stand above the heavens and the earth and become the highest god in the world?
That was clearly impossible.
"My husband, I … am I very useless? I can't even share my husband's worries and difficulties …"
The lady in white stood there and clenched her fists. Tears appeared in her eyes and she stared at Feng Hao with reddened eyes. She sounded like she was about to cry. She really looked like a wife who was about to be abandoned by her husband. She looked so pitiful and didn't look like the cold goddess from before. The two of them were worlds apart.
Fortunately, the two of them were in the deep pit at this moment. Her weak side was not seen by the people outside. Otherwise, everyone's eyeballs would have popped out of their sockets.
After all, this was the goddess who made the powerful cultivators from the Frosty Moon Clan run away with their tails between their legs. Right now, she was no different from an ordinary person.
"Eh … no, no, it's nothing … ah …"
Seeing her like this, Feng Hao panicked. He wanted to comfort her in a fluster, but he was careless and was struck by lightning. Smoke came out of his head and he sank into the ground.
Being distracted during the Heaven's Punishment, he must be tired of living.
If he didn't have an unparalleled physical body and the protection of Burning Sound, he would've been turned into ashes like the three young members of Xian.
"Husband, are you okay?"
Seeing Feng Hao jump out of the pit with smoke coming out of him, the lady in white asked weakly with a red nose and a choked voice. She didn't know what to do.
"Fortunately, it's nothing serious."
The corner of Feng Hao's mouth twitched violently. He no longer dared to look at her pitiful expression, afraid that he would be distracted again. "Go back to the tomb first. I'll look for you once I've overcome the Heavenly Punishment."
As he finished speaking, he leaped into the air, raised his fist, and condensed the strength of the Rushing Tiger Ten Layers. Then, he smashed his fist toward the descending Heavenly Punishment.
"Bang! Bang! …"
A huge explosion resounded, and the huge lightning pillar turned into lightning arcs that filled the sky. It was as if it was raining, causing the ground to be full of holes. Only a small part of it was absorbed by Fenghao.
After all, there were many people watching from afar. He didn't dare to be too conspicuous. Otherwise, his secret would be exposed.
"This is at least the third level of Heavenly Punishment …"
Feeling the numbness and pain from his fist, Feng Hao's expression turned solemn.
Having overcome the first Heavenly Punishment, he naturally had some understanding of it.
At this moment, only a few minutes had passed, but the Heavenly Punishment had already reached the first and third level. It was at least three to four times faster than when it was in the Barbarian Tribe's ancestral worship grounds. Such speed made him wonder how strong the subsequent Heavenly Punishment would be.
As for the lady in white, she seemed to be afraid that Feng Hao would become angry. Hence, when she saw Feng Hao continuously leaping up to attack the lightning bolts, she did not disturb him. She only glanced at him worriedly before flying toward the entrance of the tomb like a fairy. Her white robes fluttered in the wind like a fairy that had descended to the mortal world.
"Just … who is she?"
In the distance, the crowd of experts was still unable to calm down as they stared at the back of the figure.
Not only did she scare away the mysterious expert, but why did the Heavenly Punishment not strike her? This was the thing that puzzled them the most.
As long as it was a living thing, even if it was a spirit or a plant, it would be within the range of the Heavenly Punishment. No one could escape from the Heavenly Punishment's lock-on.
However, the lady in white had done it. The Heavenly Punishment turned a blind eye to her, allowing her to come and go as she pleased, as if she was taking a stroll in a park.
"She's really a human."
In fact, there were already people who had such doubts.
In particular, the fact that she had addressed Feng Hao as her husband was even more incomprehensible.
How could she have taken a fancy to such a timid young man who was as weak as an ant?
Seeing the lady in white walk in, Joan Of Arc and the others were unable to react. They stared at her in a daze, as if they were looking at a monster.
In fact, it had only been a minute since she had left the tomb and entered. However, she had done something that was beyond their imagination.
However, the lady in white did not seem to care about their strange gazes. It was as if she was used to it. She merely glanced at them indifferently, then stood quietly beside Wan Xin. Her willowy eyebrows were slightly furrowed as she stared worriedly at Feng Hao, who was under the Heavenly Punishment.
Among Joan Of Arc and the other two women, she had a good impression of Wan Xin and was closer to Wan Xin.
This was because she seemed to be able to sense Wan Xin's kindness towards her, whereas Joan Of Arc and Yan Qing had always been on guard against her. Therefore, the relationship between the few of them was a little strange.
The lady in white was like a newborn baby. Her mind was pure, and she had a good impression of anyone who was nice to her. She did not have any ulterior motives.
"Thank you, young lady."
Wan Xin's expression sank as she sincerely thanked the lady in white.
"Thank you."
Joan Of Arc and Yan Qing also looked at her with complicated expressions as they expressed their gratitude.
They clearly understood that if it were not for the lady in white, Feng Hao would not have been able to survive. Regardless of how their relationship would turn out in the future, they were indeed filled with gratitude towards the lady in white.
"Yes."
On the other hand, the lady in white did not understand their sincere gratitude and looked at them in confusion.
To her, Feng Hao was the most important person in her life. He was someone she could not live without. Therefore, she would not allow anyone to hurt him.
"I am Wan Xin."
With a faint smile on her face, Wan Xin stretched out a jade-like hand that was as white as a lotus root towards her.
"I …"
A blank look flashed across the lady in white's clear eyes.
She did not know what her name was. All her memories were blank. She could not remember at all.
"From now on, I will call you Little Sister Bai Yi, okay?"
Wan Xin smiled as she held the lady's slightly cold hand and said with a sincere tone.
"This …"
The lady in white seemed to have sensed her intention and said, "As long as my husband has no objections, then I will be called Bai Yi."
