Chapter 2728

It had to be said that this Miss Bai had quite the eye. The four of them—Yan Aohan and the other three Emperor Venerables—possessed an innate, supreme majesty and noble aura. Coupled with their handsome and dashing appearances, they often attracted unwanted romantic attention.

However, meeting them was not easy. But once someone did, these "rotten peach blossoms"—unwanted suitors—would occasionally appear.

"You are all so handsome. Who should I choose?" Miss Bai showed zero reserve.

Zhu Yanyi paused, stunned. "Didn't you just say you liked Lan Tian?"

"I want Lan Tian, but I want all four of you too." Miss Bai’s ambition was truly vast.

"Done for. You’re dead meat," Zhu Yanyi said, stepping back. The Empresses also retreated. Naturally, Yan Aohan and the other three men followed their wives.

Lan Tian pulled Qing Yun aside. Suddenly, dark clouds gathered overhead. Lightning flashed and thunder roared between the clouds. The air in the area grew heavy and oppressive.

Miss Bai noticed Zhu Yanyi’s group retreating but didn’t care. However, when she saw Yan Aohan and the others step back, she frowned. "Why are you backing away?"

Yan Aohan and the others had no desire to speak with her. Zhu Yanyi kindly explained, "To avoid being struck by lightning."

"Why would I be struck by lightning?" Miss Bai clearly didn’t realize how serious the situation was.

Zhu Yanyi looked at her and shrugged slightly. "Because you have bad intentions toward my husband. Heaven disapproves of such behavior, so it will strike you."

"Nonsense. Heaven isn’t that bored." Miss Bai complained. "Why are you talking nonsense?"

"Speaking the truth gets no belief. Indeed, it’s hard to speak honestly," Zhu Yanyi sighed. She pointed to the sky. "Fine, look up yourself. We’re staying far away. We don’t want to be dragged down by you." Zhu Yanyi grabbed Yan Aohan and pulled her backward urgently.

Miss Bai followed Zhu Yanyi’s finger and looked up. Instinctively, she saw the lightning growing stronger. Before she could understand, her body went numb. Everyone around her had retreated far away.

"She really got struck," Lan Tian stared, stunned.

For cultivators, seeing someone struck by lightning wasn’t rare. But predicting the target was astonishing.

Zhu Yanyi looked at Miss Bai with disgust. "You’re not Miss Bai anymore. You’re Miss Black."

Indeed, struck by lightning, her body was charred black, smelling slightly of burning.

Miss Bai’s expression was obscured, but her eyes showed disbelief. She glared at Zhu Yanyi. "Who are you? Why did you scheme against me?"

"You’re talking nonsense with a straight face. How did I scheme against you?" Zhu Yanyi said, displeased. "We are having a family meal. You come to steal my husband. Should I clap to encourage you? Do you think I’m silly or stupid?"

Zhu Yanyi took a deep breath. "Enough. Get as far away as possible. Don’t stay here. Really, or I’ll watch the lightning strike you again."

Miss Bai looked up again, seeing the electric dragons dancing in the clouds. She snorted. "Wait and see. I won’t let you off." She turned and ran.

Miss Bai suffered greatly. The lightning followed her, striking again.

Zhu Yanyi watched for a while before speaking. "How foolish is this girl? Struck for coveting you, and now threatening me. She really doesn’t want to live."

Yan Aohan said, "It’s fine. I will give orders. When she dies, let her reincarnate as a sparrow."

"Spare the sparrows. They didn’t bully you," Zhu Yanyi objected. "Sparrows are nearly protected animals in the mortal realm. Making her a sparrow is too kind. A green caterpillar is enough. Place a rooster nearby to peck her daily. That’s perfect." Zhu Yanyi wore an expression of extreme kindness. "Look how beautiful the rooster is. She won’t eat her, just peck her daily to remind her of the pain."

"Alright," Yan Aohan nodded. Since his wife disliked this Miss Bai so much, it was decided.

"Qing Yun, am I dreaming?" Lan Tian asked carefully. "Why do the thunderclouds seem to listen to Auntie and Uncle?"

Qing Yun glanced at Lan Tian and nodded. "Because my master and grandmaster are Heavenly Gods." Qing Yun smiled.

The tone seemed playful, but Lan Tian, knowing her, realized she spoke the truth.

Lan Tian couldn’t believe that his usually approachable uncle and auntie were Heavenly Gods. No wonder they could command the thunderclouds.

Zhu Yanyi looked at Yan Aohan. "I think I must make you wear a mask when we go out."

Yan Aohan saw the jealousy in Zhu Yanyi’s eyes and sighed helplessly. "Okay, wife. I’ll wear a mask whenever I go out. Happy now? Don’t be angry."

"I’m not angry. Think about it. In half a day, two unwanted suitors already. Sigh. Why are the girls here so eager to marry?" Zhu Yanyi muttered.

Empress Fire’s mouth hung open. "Heavens! I’ve never seen anyone try to claim four Emperors at once. Incredible."

"Wife, you’re on my side, right?" Emperor Fire said speechlessly, looking at Empress Fire.

Empress Fire took a bite of her roasted cake. "Naturally, I’m with you. I’m just curious." She added, "How many more times will the thunder strike?"

"Offending us four means at least four strikes. Plus she spoke disrespectfully to Empress Yan, so one more. About five strikes in total," Emperor Black said. "She will definitely die from the lightning."

Yan Aohan nodded. "She will die. Look over there."

Others couldn’t see, but Zhu Yanyi and the others saw the Black and White Impermanence waiting nearby. Clearly, they were waiting for Miss Bai to die from the lightning.

"Remember, this Miss Bai might not be able to be human in her next life. A green caterpillar is fine," Zhu Yanyi reminded Yan Aohan.

Yan Aohan nodded. "I’ve already sent the order. Rest assured. This girl can only be a green caterpillar in her next life. She must be an insect for ten lifetimes, then livestock for six lifetimes. Only then can her behavior as livestock determine if she can become human again. If not, she may remain in the livestock realm forever."
