A shrew scolds the street, an unexpected surprise

"Master, are you up to no good again?" Miao Xiaoqing, who was lurking in the Void Realm and hunting for the Child of Destiny, asked.

When Xiao Fan didn't speak, he was definitely up to no good.

"What do you mean, up to no good?" Xiao Fan glanced at her and said.

Miao Xiaoqing lowered her head weakly.

She didn't feel pity for Chu Yang, but rather hoped that Xiao Fan could quickly take possession of this Lightning Pool.

This Lightning Pool clearly wasn't an ordinary item; if she used it to Cultivate, her ice-like skin and jade-like bones would definitely become radiant and translucent.

Xiao Fan was indeed observing, because he saw that there was a life force brewing at the bottom of the Lightning Pool.

Could the Lightning Pool be giving birth to some kind of existence?

It couldn't be the Thunder God, could it? Leizhenzi was also possible.

He observed closely, only to see a chaotic mass of lightning gradually becoming orderly and condensed, about to transform into a solid entity of the lightning attribute.

"As expected of a Child of Destiny, this ox guarded the Lightning Pool for countless years without any change, but as soon as Chu Yang arrived, an existence was born within the Lightning Pool."

Xiao Fan realized that on the surface, Chu Yang's goal was this Lightning Pool, but if he took the Lightning Pool, the existence at the bottom of the Lightning Pool would become his.

Hidden Opportunity!

But now, it's mine.

"This Lightning Pool's energy is pure. If it were used as a bathtub for Xiao Fang, she would probably be very happy."

"And that big-eared ox, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, could be a bodyguard and pet for Xiao Fang. She probably wouldn't be too bored when I'm not around."

"Good, it's all mine."

However, before that, he needed to borrow Chu Yang's Luck to accelerate the birth of the existence within the Lightning Pool.

Xiao Fan did not make a move, waiting for Chu Yang to discover the existence at the bottom of the Lightning Pool.

On the other side, Chu Yang's movements were well-concealed.

He had already approached the Lightning Pool, but the big-eared ox was still chanting scriptures and praying to Buddha, completely unaware that anyone was approaching.

With every step Chu Yang took, he paused and looked at the big-eared ox.

Only when he confirmed he wasn't detected did he continue to take the next step.

His movements were extremely practiced, clearly something he did often.

Upon reaching the edge of the Lightning Pool, Chu Yang did not rush to act. He first observed the situation of the Lightning Pool, thoroughly checking its size and depth.

"Within a hundred-li radius, I can only see to a depth of a hundred zhang. I can't see anything deeper."

"But I feel that the depth of this Lightning Pool is at least ten li, or even more."

Chu Yang's heart burned with excitement. He had previously Cultivated in his Family's Lightning Pool and benefited greatly.

That was a treasured Cultivation ground within the Family, and to Cultivate there, one had to make significant contributions to the Family.

Even with such strict conditions, one could only Cultivate in the Lightning Pool for seven days.

If he remembered correctly, that Lightning Pool was only a hundred zhang square and less than ten meters deep.

Compared to this Lightning Pool, which was a hundred li in circumference and at least ten li deep, it was like a firefly compared to the bright moon.

Moreover, that small Lightning Pool only contained ordinary heavenly lightning, while this Lightning Pool contained divine lightning from Chaos.

The difference between the two could only be described as heaven and earth.

If I could monopolize such a large Lightning Pool, I would have a seventy percent chance of Cultivating the legendary Thunder God Body.

The more Chu Yang thought about it, the more excited he became. He was already impatient to obtain the Lightning Pool.

Just as Chu Yang was about to make his next move, the big-eared ox, who had been chanting scriptures and praying to Buddha, twitched its ears.

It turned its head and looked at the Lightning Pool.

Chu Yang's heart leaped into his throat, and he froze motionless like a stone.

How was this possible? My Breath Concealment Technique combined with the Invisibility Immortal Robe should be enough to deceive a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

He had relied on these two items to move unhindered, and there had never been any problems. Was something going wrong today?

Chu Yang was very nervous. He prepared himself to flee if anything felt amiss.

Reaching the Realm of Grand Unity Golden Immortal, it was normal to have premonitions.

The big-eared ox felt uneasy, as if it was about to lose something important.

Its gaze swept across the area, but there was no one there.

Its Divine Sense thoroughly scanned the entire mountaintop, but found no abnormalities.

"I feel like someone came over. Is it just my imagination?"

The big-eared ox murmured. It repeatedly investigated but couldn't find any abnormalities, perhaps it was just being overly cautious.

With that thought, it no longer paid attention and continued to Cultivate.

Seeing the big-eared ox leave, Chu Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, nothing went wrong.

However, this also served as a warning to him: as long as this big-eared ox was still here, he would have no way to take this Lightning Pool.

"I need to lure it away."

This was his plan: to draw the tiger away from the mountain, or more accurately, to draw the [ox] away from the mountain.

Chu Yang was confident in this plan.

He skillfully took out a palm-sized paper figure. He slid his left thumb's nail lightly against his middle finger, creating a small cut.

Pure blood Qi surged from the wound, dripping onto the paper figure. Instantly, a feeling of mutual understanding arose spontaneously.

He then took out a pile of Immortal Stones, tore open a small opening on the paper figure, and the Immortal Stones slid into the paper figure's mouth.

Chu Yang smiled triumphantly, lightly tossing the paper figure out and chanting a spell.

"Go."

The paper figure landed and instantly transformed into a person identical to him, even their aura was almost the same.

The paper figure did not conceal its aura, and as soon as it appeared, it was detected by the big-eared ox.

It exclaimed in shock, "Who!"

The big-eared ox roared, immediately getting up and trying to catch "Chu Yang."

And "Chu Yang" merely smiled slightly, taunting, "Big foolish ox, come hit me, you idiot."

With that, he fled the scene.

The big-eared ox wasn't stupid; an unusual occurrence often indicated something sinister.

It chose to wait and see.

Seeing that the big-eared ox wasn't following, "Chu Yang" immediately turned back and continued to provoke it with words.

"I eat beef offal, drink milk, butcher ox penis, skin ox hide, and pull out ox tendons."

"Why don't you come out and fight me one-on-one? Are you scared? Believe it or not, I'll brag!"

...

What a low-level way to provoke a fight!!

"Chu Yang" cursed for a full half-hour, like a shrew cursing in the street.

Even if the big-eared ox's heart was as still as water, it couldn't endure such endless insults.

The big-eared ox's nostrils flared wide, fuming with anger.

Its home had been invaded, and the invader was pointing at its nose and cursing it.

And the opponent was a weakling weaker than itself. Who could endure such humiliation?

Disregarding everything, it stepped on a cloud of azure, transforming into a wisp of azure smoke. It pulled out a spiked club from its nose and chased after him.

"Although I, Old Ox, am a vegetarian, I'm not a pushover."

"I haven't killed for a long time, but you've successfully aroused my killing intent, boy!"

"If this Ox Grandfather doesn't butcher you today, I'll take your surname."

The big-eared ox was fuming, chasing him to kill.

In a flash, "Chu Yang" led the big-eared ox away.

And the real Chu Yang appeared.

He stood openly in front of the Lightning Pool.

"He really is a big foolish ox, getting so angry from a few curses that he's fuming," Chu Yang said triumphantly.

The plan was very successful.

He approached the Lightning Pool, squatted down, and watched the flickering electric arcs.

Feeling the lightning-attribute Spiritual Qi floating in the air, he felt a sense of invigoration.

"Good stuff."

He carefully reached out and touched the Lightning Pool.

The lightning crackled, climbing all over his body, numbing him completely.

Chu Yang immediately withdrew his hand. He wasn't retreating, but rather trembling with excitement.

"Such pure lightning-attribute spiritual power is truly rare in the world."

"Without further ado, I'll take it."

He prepared to find a way to take this Lightning Pool.

Before he could act, a white lightning mass rose from the bottom of the pool, pulsating like a heart.

Chu Yang felt the pulsation and thought he had triggered some Restriction, so he retreated dozens of steps repeatedly.

When the lightning mass floated in mid-air and appeared before him, he finally saw its full form: it was a white lightning heart.

Chu Yang felt like he had found a treasure. Wasn't this the Heart of Lightning needed to condense the Thunder God Body?!

"The Heart of Lightning, it's actually the Heart of Lightning! Legend has it that the Heart of Lightning can be born within a Lightning Pool, but it requires the right time, place, and people, plus seventy percent Luck."

"Holy cow, I can't believe I stumbled upon it!"

Chu Yang had originally only had a fifty to sixty percent chance of condensing the Thunder God Body, but now that he had encountered the Heart of Lightning, it was almost a sure thing.

Xiao Fan saw Chu Yang's surprised expression and knew that this was beyond his expectations.

The Child of Destiny truly had good fortune. His original intention was just to obtain the Lightning Pool, but he unexpectedly received an additional pleasant surprise.

He got a Heart of Lightning for free.

Moreover, this Heart of Lightning had been guarded by the big-eared ox for countless years without appearing, but it appeared as soon as he arrived.

It felt as if this Heart of Lightning was waiting for Chu Yang's arrival.

Even Miao Xiaoqing was somewhat envious.

"He's too lucky, isn't he? He can easily lure that ox away."

"He got the Lightning Pool and also obtained a newly born Heart of Lightning."

No, such a treasure, how can I just watch it fall into someone else's hands?

Miao Xiaoqing said to Xiao Fan, "Master, when are we going to make our move?"

"Let's rob him!"

She rubbed her hands together, like a female bandit.

Xiao Fan smiled, "Of course, we're following him to rob him."

"But, this isn't enough."

"Not enough?" Miao Xiaoqing was puzzled.

But she would soon understand.

Xiao Fan transformed, taking on the appearance of Li Sheng, holding a black iron rod in his hand, and appearing out of thin air behind Chu Yang.

He smiled and said, "Hello, goodbye."

Chu Yang felt a chill down his spine. He immediately turned around, wanting to dodge.

But as he turned, he was struck on the face by a blow to the head.

His nasal bridge was caved in, two front teeth were knocked out, and the force was so great that it shattered his jaw.

The immense force of the black iron rod transferred to his forehead, shattering his skull.

His originally bright eyes rolled back, and he fell backward powerlessly.

Xiao Fan controlled his strength very well, gently tapping the sleeping brain, knocking Chu Yang's mind unconscious.

Chu Yang's heart was startled. He was directly knocked out by a blow to the head. In the moment before he lost consciousness, he saw a familiar figure.

It was the person who competed with him for the qinglian seed who was behind this.

However, he was no longer able to resist and fell powerlessly to the ground.

Miao Xiaoqing immediately stepped forward and stripped him of all his Storage Pouches.

Her Divine Sense also crashed into Chu Yang's Sea of Consciousness, pulling out everything hidden in his Sea of Consciousness, not missing a single item.

Her movements were so practiced, it was clear she frequently engaged in robbery.

In a moment, she had collected everything and handed it to Xiao Fan with a smile.

"Master, your humble servant has taken care of everything for you."

Xiao Fan reverted to his original appearance and took the items in his hand.

Miao Xiaoqing looked at him with anticipation.

Seeing her little money-grubber look, Xiao Fan accepted the Black Water Glazed Ore Vein.

As for the bronze mirror, he erased the mark on it to make it easier for Miao Xiaoqing to refine.

He threw the bronze mirror and some miscellaneous treasures to her, saying, "Here, for you."

"Thank you, Master," she said softly, her voice sweet.

She had been coveting this bronze mirror; it was more valuable than any other treasure.

Xiao Fan didn't mind. After all, she was his woman, and he would need her to bear his children in the future, so he might as well give her some sweetness now.

Xiao Fan waved his long sleeve, and the universe within his sleeve absorbed the Lightning Pool into his palm. He then departed, leaving behind only Chu Yang, who lay on the ground after being struck by a blow to the head.

When the big-eared ox returned and saw the empty Lightning Pool, it was unknown what kind of inhuman treatment Chu Yang would suffer.
