Divine Seal: The little princess is vying and fighting to become the Demon Emperor.

Chapter 36 Struck by Lightning
Long Xingyu hadn't heard this voice many times, but it sounded strangely familiar.

Because each time, the sound left a very deep impression on him.

"Daughter of the Demon God Emperor, what are you doing here?"

Long Xingyu was astonished to see the girl appear behind him. If he remembered correctly, this was human territory.

"Because I wanted to beat you up again, so I came looking for you."

When Feng Jing switched to her identity as the daughter of the Demon God Emperor, her smile carried a deep chill.

Unable to defeat Long Xingyu, she decided to resort to stratagem.

"You think you can beat me up by yourself?"

After scanning the area with his divine sense, Long Xingyu found no trace of any demon god. He couldn't help but laugh at the foolishness of the girl in front of him.

Long Xingyu is not bound by the rules of the alliance, and he doesn't care about the promise not to harm the demon princess.

"I am enough on my own."

"After all, it's not like this is the first time I've come to beat you up."

Feng Jing spoke in the most arrogant tone, with the most infuriating expression, saying the most infuriating things.

Her words really provoked Long Xingyu.

Originally, Long Xingyu only intended to teach her a lesson, but now he couldn't help but have murderous intent towards her.

"Therefore, I have no choice but to use your life to avenge this—"

Bai Yue, who was in Long Xingyu's arms, turned pale instantly and quickly interrupted Long Xingyu.

"Long Xingyu, you can't kill her!"

“If anything happens to her, I won’t be able to live either.”

"She's mine—"

Unfortunately, Bai Yue was silenced by Long Xingyu before she could finish speaking. He then summoned his mount again to protect her.

Long Xingyu wasn't stupid. He knew that the Demon God Emperor's daughter dared to come to him alone, so she must have some trump cards up her sleeve. He'd probably have to use his true abilities to kill her.

In a fight, it would be easy for the two to accidentally injure Bai Yue, who was in his arms.

"Judgment."

But to his surprise, the Demon God Emperor's daughter neither blocked nor dodged his Judgment Sword, but simply stood there with her eyes closed, as if she were terrified.

In an instant, Long Xingyu had a feeling that he had fallen into a trap.

But it was too late.

When his sword fell, the clouds in the sky churned instantly, and then a bolt of purple lightning struck him down in a dazzling display.

"This is the real trial."

Even with his eyes closed, Feng Jing could feel the bright lightning before him.

Purple lightning engulfed Long Xingyu, swallowing his sword of judgment as well.

This commotion was quite significant, and the nearby Yulong Pass was immediately alerted, witnessing the astonishing purple lightning.

Just as the people from Yulong Pass arrived, the purple lightning dissipated, revealing Long Xingyu with a new hairstyle.

The people of Yulong Pass almost didn't recognize Long Xingyu, whose entire body was covered in charcoal, until they saw his roaring mount beside him.

What happened at the scene, however, remained unknown to them.

When they arrived, they saw nothing but Long Xingyu and his mount.

"Purple lightning... could it be the work of Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu?"

"It must be him. Only he could injure Xingyu so easily."

"There is indeed the lingering aura of the Demon Emperor here."

"Demon Emperor, the Knights Temple will remember this grudge."

Fengxiu, who had just picked up her two daughters, sneezed before asking the question.

"What was that lightning just now?"

When Fengxiu arrived, she just saw the lightning descend.

He was quite far away at the time, and due to visual illusion, he thought the thunder was coming towards his daughter, which terrified him.

"Would you believe me if I said I didn't know?" Feng Jing, in Bai Yue's arms, feigned ignorance, his face pale.

"He doesn't seem like a fool to me."

Upon hearing Feng Xiu's words, Feng Jing could only poke his fingers and emphasize it somewhat guiltily.

"I really don't know what happened."

"Long Xingyu originally wanted to kill me, but the lightning suddenly struck down and saved my life."

Fengxiu didn't reply, but instead gave Fengjing a look that said, "Keep pretending."

He knew perfectly well that the lightning was related to Feng Jing. And Feng Jing knew that if Long Xingyu attacked her, heavenly lightning would strike.

Otherwise, since he was already on his way, Feng Jing wouldn't need to provoke Long Xingyu.

"alright."

After sighing, Feng Jing resigned himself to his fate and began to explain.

“The last time I ran away from home, I was in some danger; someone wanted to kill me.”

"Then I realized that before he could kill me, he was struck by lightning."

"After several more tests, I discovered that anyone who wanted to kill me would be struck by lightning."

"Moreover, the stronger the intent to kill me, the greater the power of the heavenly lightning that falls."

“He really wanted to kill me just now, otherwise the lightning wouldn’t have been so powerful.”

Feng Jing briefly explained the fantastical aspects of himself, which surprised both Feng Xiu and Bai Yue.

"Then he has only himself to blame."

Feng Xiu concluded that Long Xingyu was struck by lightning because he wanted to kill Feng Jing, and he deserved what he got.

"It can't be that simple."

"You're injured too, aren't you, Xiao Jing?"

Bai Yue, however, discovered a hidden detail about Feng Jing: the lightning strike also affected Feng Jing.

Feng Jing's pale face said it all; he wasn't frightened at all.

Under the watchful eyes of Bai Yue and Feng Xiu, Feng Jing had no choice but to tell the whole story.

"Every time someone is struck by lightning, I feel like I've been hollowed out."

"It's alright, it just consumed a lot of spiritual energy, but I can replenish it quickly."

This hollowing out is not a simple hollowing out.

Under normal circumstances, Feng Jing can recover from exhausting his spiritual power in half a day at most.

However, after being struck by lightning, it takes at least ten days to half a month to recover.

The stronger the lightning, the slower the recovery. Judging from the lightning strike from Chao Longxingyu, Feng Jing will need at least half a year to fully recover.

However, this is not without its benefits for her; once her spiritual power is restored, Feng Jing's strength will double.

"Sister, if I hurt him, will you...?"

"I won't blame you."

Bai Yue interrupted Feng Jing, "You should rest and stop talking."

"Just tell me and I'll listen."

“I won’t blame you. Just like Dad said, he has only himself to blame.”

"He forcibly took me away first, which is why you chased after him."

"It was because he wanted to kill you that he was struck by lightning."

“You did nothing wrong, you just wanted to bring your sister back.”

Bai Yue didn't blame Feng Jing; she genuinely didn't think Feng Jing had done anything wrong.

If it weren't for Long Xingyu's suspicion of her, she might have felt sorry for Long Xingyu and then blamed Feng Jing.

However, after experiencing Long Xingyu's suspicions, Bai Yue could only say that Long Xingyu had only himself to blame.

Being doubted about her innocence by the one she loved ultimately became a thorn in Bai Yue's heart.
