A white bolt of lightning directly split a three-storey tall tree into two. A burnt smell drifted in the surroundings.
"Ah, the tree fell. Rock spirit, let's hurry and run." The mushroom was so frightened that he jumped a few meters away. Turning around, he sprinted towards the forest. "Hurry and run, hurry and run …"
"Wait a minute, I haven't …" Before Zhu Yao could even finish, the mushroom had already plunged into the forest without turning back.
Run my ass! This lady here didn't even go up! It can't be that it doesn't know that I fell, right? Can't it check the goods first before driving!?
"Mushroom, wait a minute. Mushroom …" What happened to protecting her?
Unfortunately, no matter how Zhu Yao shouted, that mushroom which had already lost its soul from fright had already left without turning back. In just a few moments, it disappeared without a trace. It completely did not realize that it had already unloaded the goods halfway.
He ran with vigor and vigor, and in one breath, he ran for more than ten miles.
"Rock spirit, don't be afraid. Lightning often strikes in this forest. It'll be fine as long as you hide."
"There's a cave in front. Lightning simply can't enter it."
"Rock spirit, you have to hurry. We're almost there."
"Rock spirit? Rock spirit? "
The mushroom shouted for a long while, yet there was no reply. In the beginning, he thought it was frightened, but when he returned to the cave, he realized that the jade which was originally lying on his head had disappeared. When did it fall? Why didn't it know!?
Zhu Yao, who had fallen, felt the malice of the entire world. She had enough of these days where she couldn't move. Let a bolt of lightning strike her to death. Thank you!
Unfortunately, the sky was filled with lightning bolts, striking everywhere. Large patches of the forest were charred, and even when the sound of thunder grew softer, not a single bolt struck towards her.
Zhu Yao could not help but raise her middle finger at the two people who were fighting in the sky.
"The hell."
"Eh?" A doubtful voice came from beside her. Zhu Yao sensed a dense fragrance of flowers. In the next moment, she was picked up by someone. She met with a pair of extremely seductive peach blossom eyes.
A few words instantly surfaced in Zhu Yao's mind: Another little bitch.
"You can speak?" The person's voice was extremely magnetic, and his looks were even more unparalleled. The moment people saw him, they could not help but feel like scratching his face. That's right, she had a grudge with this person, because he was the showy man who kicked her down that day.
"It's rare for a jade stone to become a spirit." The man flipped the jade over. He furrowed his brows. Her expression was indescribably sexy and charming. "It's just a little dirty."
With a flick of his finger, Zhu Yao, who was covered in a layer of mud, fell to the ground. It returned to its original snow-white appearance. Seemingly satisfied, the man in red flew up into the sky, but he did not use any magic tools. He flew towards the Lightning Divine Hall which was surrounded by lightning in the sky.
Zhu Yao was brought to a gorgeous celestial palace, every single part of it looked as though it was meticulously carved out by the most skillful craftsman. The furnishings inside were even more exquisite and dazzling. Even the floor was made of jade and covered with a layer of pink flower petals. He seemed to be saying, "I'm rich, I'm very rich." I'm super rich!
The man brought her to a place that looked like a bedroom and casually threw her on the table. He turned around and entered the inner chamber.
When he came out, he had already changed into another set of purple robes. Purple was an extremely difficult color to drive, but surprisingly, it suited him very well. His appearance was astonishing in the first place, and his purple robes had even more so displayed his bewitching aura to the extreme.
"Little stone, what's your name?" The man flicked the jade on the table and curiously asked.
Zhu Yao did not speak, and resolutely pretended to be dead. She had a grudge against this person, so she wasn't going to answer.
"Not going to speak?" The man's smile was exceptionally bewitching. "Although I picked you up, and from now on, I'm your master. If you don't follow your master's orders, you will be punished. "
Tch, you make it sound as though I'm selling my body. Who cares about you? Zhu Yao continued to act dead.
The man continued to poke the jade. "Stop pretending. I know you have already turned into a spirit, and have awakened your spiritual intelligence."
Zhu Yao still did not reply. I'm a stone that doesn't know how to speak. Bite me then.
His smile grew deeper, and his eyes slightly narrowed. Suddenly, he raised the jade up, pinched it with two fingers, and then forcefully twisted it.
Zhu Yao was instantly like a spinning top, and began to spin on the table. She felt the world spinning, and her eyes were blinded by the spinning. If he was a human, he would have long puked on his face.
So sinister! He actually used this move.
"You're still not going to speak? Then I will continue spinning. "
You're ruthless. Zhu Yao could not help but break her technique, and silently gave him the middle finger in the depths of her heart. "The hell!"
That man's smile grew even more sinister, and Zhu Yao felt as though she was looking at a fox.
"Since you've already been picked up by me, then your previous name isn't important anymore. From now on, you'll be called … Pebble!"
"This name is a little too casual, isn't it!?" Was there such a name?
"You don't like it? Then change it? "The man narrowed his eyes.
"Of course not …" Wait, she already had a name, why did she have to change it? No, she had already experienced a tragedy with regards to her name. Even if she was beaten to death, she would never be named by someone else again. And this name was a little too casual. If it's a stone, then it's called Pebble. Why not call it Emerald Flower?
"Then Emerald Flower."
Eh?
What happened?
"Alright, Emerald Flower. In the future, you can call me master, or Lord."
"What?" What happened, hey? Why did she call herself Emerald Flower, hey?
"It's getting late." The man calmly glanced at the sky outside. "It's time to sleep."
Sleep for what? You're a mighty Deity, and you still want to sleep? Explain yourself, hey.
"Today, with Emerald Flower, I can finally have a peaceful sleep."
What? What does your sleep have to do with me? This information is a little too much. She's a pure stone, you know.
The man however did not care about it. Grabbing onto Zhu Yao, he walked straight towards the bed.
"What are you trying to do?" You beast. She's just a stone. A stone can be killed, but not humiliated.
The man did not reply, and simply stopped by the bed. Then, he bent his waist, lifted the bed with one hand, and stuffed Zhu Yao at the foot of the bed with the other.
Zhu Yao felt an immense pressure pressing down on her body, as though she could hear the sound of jade shattering. And the main culprit had already calmly climbed onto the bed, and laid down properly.
Zhu Yao: "…"
Momma's egg. He picked her up from afar, just to use as a footrest. It was actually just to use as a footrest! Then why did he have to give her such a pain in the ass name of Emerald Flower?
I curse you to have nightmares. Seven nightmares a week, and every dream lasts for twenty-four hours.
— — — —
Ever since that day, Zhu Yao had the honor of becoming a professional stepping stone.
No matter if it was the foot of the bed, the foot of the table, or the foot of the cabinet, as long as that man felt that place was unstable. He would take Zhu Yao out to use as a footrest. She was basically a brick in this divine palace, and would be moved wherever it was needed.
"Eh? Why did it crack?" The man took Zhu Yao out from the foot of the table, and looked at it through the light. As expected, he found a tiny crack.
Zhu Yao silently rolled her eyes. She was pressed down by tables, chairs, cabinets, and the corner of the bed every single day, it would be strange if she did not crack. It's just a piece of jade, do you think it's a diamond? And now, he actually wanted to use her to smash walnuts. This was simply intolerable!
He glanced at the walnut in his hand that had yet to be cracked open. He then looked at the jade head that was evidently about to crack open, and hesitated a little. In the end, he found his conscience, and cast an art out of kindness. Zhu Yao simply felt a dense divine energy surging into her body. Not only did the crack on the jade disappear, even the white jade had instantly turned emerald green. The feeling was even better than the four months of cultivation she had.
"What's going on?" Zhu Yao was dumbfounded.
"I transferred a bit of cultivation to you. To prevent you from cracking too quickly. "
Was he that kind? Zhu Yao expressed her doubts. If he really wanted to help her … Why didn't he directly help her cultivate into a human form?
"I say, Emerald Flower."
Your sister's Emerald Flower!
"When it comes to cultivation, there is a need to take things one step at a time. In this Divine Realm, there are countless beings that have gained sentience, and usually, they would only be able to take form after cultivating for thousands or even tens of thousands of years." The man suddenly spoke with a heavy heart. "How can a method like relying on someone else to transfer cultivation to you be feasible?" After saying that, he even gave her a 'you're too naive' look.
Then, is there no other way to cultivate into a human form? Must she cultivate for tens of thousands of years?
"There is." His eyes slightly narrowed, and his smile grew even more cunning. "There's a Lightning Abyssal Spring behind my house, and it's naturally nurtured by the earth. Beings with sentience simply have to soak in it for a few dozen days, and they will be able to take on a human form."
The hell, it's so convenient, why didn't you say so earlier!?
"If you're obedient, then I can consider …"
"Lord, please don't carelessly order me around." Zhu Yao instantly turned into a lackey, and with every single word, she said. "No matter if it's the foot of a table, bed, cabinet, or even the corner of a wall, it won't be a problem. Just leave it to me. It's definitely sturdy and durable, convenient and fast. Not only that, it's aesthetically pleasing. Even if you want me to be a temporary insole, it won't be a problem. I specialize in stepping stones. "
What's an insole that can increase one's height? The man was silent for a moment, and then, his eyes flashed. Picking up the walnut on the table, he said with a troubled look. "This walnut …"
"Use me to smash it then!" Zhu Yao immediately replied. "No need to be courteous. Smash it with all your might. I can take it."
The man's eyes slightly narrowed. Without any hesitation, he grabbed onto Zhu Yao and smacked the walnut open.
Zhu Yao's entire mind was filled with thoughts of cultivating into a human form. She really wished that he could smash it a few more times, and then throw her into that whatever Lightning Abyssal Spring. Being able to take on a human form in a few dozen days, that's simply beautiful!
Only when she successfully smashed open the last walnut, did Zhu Yao realize that something was amiss.
She glanced at the red-clothed man. "How did you know what I was thinking about in my heart?" She clearly did not say that she wanted to take on a human form, so just how did he guess it? If she was a human, she could understand it as observing her facial expressions. However, she was currently a piece of jade, so what the hell was there to observe?
"Ou." The man threw the nut into his mouth with a calm look, and his eyes curved into crescents as he smiled. "Because I know how to read minds."
The hell, then didn't he see through all of her thoughts in the past? This sly fox! She really wanted to scratch his face.
Calm down, calm down. The weather was so beautiful, yet she was so irritable. Not good, not good.
Everything was for the sake of taking on a human form. For the sake of taking on a human form!
Hence, for the sake of taking on a human form, Zhu Yao walked on a path of no return that she endured to the point of puking blood. And this Lord, whose name was still unknown to her, seemed to have used this bitter jade of hers to the fullest, to the point of making one's hair stand on end.
"Jade Flower, help me pad the corner of the bed."
"Jade Flower, help me pad the corner of the table."
"Jade Flower, help me roast a piece of meat."
"Jade Flower, help me hold down the formation core."
"Jade Flower … This is too boring. Be a shuttlecock, and let me kick it for fun."
Flips table. Can we still have fun happily? (To be continued)
