Chapter 27: Going Home

Ming Ze tilted his head and glanced at Ji Jing. He had known her for a long time.

His grandmother had given her the jade pendant just to form a bond. He was also curious about what kind of person she was.

Seeing him today…She was a little silly.

Ming Ze commented in his heart.

She was being chased by lightning and still wanted to run away. Was she afraid that someone would find her after being struck by lightning?

If he was really knocked down in the alley just now, no one would notice. He was afraid that even ordinary humans would not be able to rescue him.

The Taoist priest was also a human. If he was electrocuted, he would need to go to the hospital to save his body.

However, Ming Ze would not let this “what if” happen. As soon as he sensed that Ji Jing was in danger, he immediately came over. He even used his original form to travel for a while.

Originally, Ming Ze had planned to take back his grandmother’s jade pendant. He did not agree with his grandmother’s approach.

But now, it seemed that Ji Jing was in a dangerous state at any moment. It was better to keep her.

The jade pendant was connected to Ming Ze’s bloodline. It could let Ming Ze know immediately if Ji Jing was in danger, and it could also block some damage for Ji Jing.

The two of them walked forward in silence. Ming Ze was thinking about Ji Jing, and Ji Jing was also observing Ming Ze.

Ming Ze actually did not hide his extraordinary performance at all. He did not retract his golden light, and the little Gu Condor he raised stood on his shoulder in its original form, and… The black hair on his head revealed dragon horns as he walked.

Bai Ze was a divine beast with a dragon head and a qilin body.

It was a demon’s habit to hide his true form. Ming Ze’s ability was very powerful. It was impossible that he could not hide it. He did not hide it…Probably because he was lazy.

Ji Jing thought of this possibility and found it funny. A powerful, cold, mysterious, but a little lazy demon?

“What are you laughing at?” Ming Ze suddenly interrupted Ji Jing’s chaotic thoughts.

Ji Jing coughed lightly and quickly changed the topic.” Uh…” I think this umbrella is quite nice. Did you make it yourself?”

Ming Ze followed Ji Jing’s line of sight and looked at the umbrella ribs.” No, it was given to me by a merman friend from Eastern Sea. If it can help you block the lightning tribulation, I’ll bring it over.”

Ji Jing’s heart warmed. She thought Ming Ze was just passing by. She didn’t expect him to specially bring an umbrella over.

Ming Ze saw that she was interested in the umbrella and continued,”The umbrella ribs are made of special fish bones, and the umbrella surface is made of yarn woven by mermen. Take it home later, don’t worry about today’s lightning tribulation. However, you still have to deal with the lightning tribulation yourself.”

Ji Jing was very understanding.” I know. It can probably only help me block this one time. The next lightning tribulation will turn it into ashes. It’s such a pity that I wasted such a beautiful umbrella.”

Ming Ze was a little surprised. She was actually such a clear-headed person.” Don’t waste it. Make the best use of it. It’s a waste to put it in the warehouse and let it fall to dust.”

Ji Jing agreed with a smile.

Ming Ze seemed to have used some teleportation spells. The two of them left the alley in the blink of an eye and walked to an antique courtyard.

The courtyard was sparsely planted with some plants. Ming Ze led Ji Jing through the courtyard and arrived under the eaves. The door opened automatically.

“Come in first. I’ll find you a set of my sister’s clothes.”Ming Ze explained.

” Okay, thank you.” Ji Jing’s body was completely wet. Her shoes made a gurgling sound when she stepped on them, not to mention her clothes. They were dripping even without wringing.

She really needed to change her clothes. If she stayed in the rain any longer, she would probably have a fever tonight.

Ji Jing took off her shoes and watched the rain outside.

Ming Ze’s strength was indeed very strong. When they came back with umbrellas, they could only see lightning, but they could not hear the thunder.

When she stepped into the courtyard, even the rain began to lessen.

Ming Ze let Ji Jing sit in the living room for a while before he went upstairs to his sister’s room.

Ji Jing was drenched. She didn’t want to wet Ming Ze’s sofa, so she didn’t sit down. She just stood in the middle of the living room and waited for Ming Ze.

The Gu eagle on Ming Ze’s shoulder spread its wings and flew to its nest when it returned home.

However, it seemed to have found something in its nest. It suddenly flapped its wings and flew toward Ji Jing.

“Hmm?” Ji Jing noticed the flying Gu eagle.” What do you want to give me?””

The Gu Eagle glided to Ji Jing’s head and circled twice to adjust its position. Its claws loosened precisely, and a stone fell into Ji Jing’s hand.
