Rage

The next day, the petrified Suzuki Yo standing in the front yard was a bit too eye-catching, so Ling Yun simply moved him to the side; serving as a bit of scenery wasn't bad either.

Just as Ling Yun was busy making breakfast, Lin Qiuyan hurried over.

"Little Yun, take a look at your old mom. Is there anything different about me?"

"What's wrong?"

"Don't you find it strange? My face and skin have both turned white." Lin Qiuyan smiled and pointed at her fair, tender skin.

"Nothing strange about it, all within expectations. This is just the effect of that soup yesterday."

"Just that soup can have this kind of effect? Little Yun, how was it even made?" Shock gradually surfaced on Lin Qiuyan's face, her mouth opening wide as an incredulous look filled her eyes.

"Those ingredients were super expensive, Mom. Do you remember the purple ginseng in the soup last night? Just a tiny bit of that costs several millions."

Ling Yun spoke the truth; that was something that simply didn't exist on Blue Star.

"Ah, doesn't that mean what we drank last night cost upwards of ten million?!"

Lin Qiuyan's breathing turned rapid, unable to believe what she was hearing.

Ling Yun nodded to confirm it. A joke? Ten million? You couldn't even buy it for a hundred million in this world.

"Mom, stop standing there like a daze. Breakfast is almost ready, go help Qianqian wake up."

"Ah, oh, oh..." Lin Qiuyan headed toward Ling Yun's room as soon as she finished speaking, completely unsure of what she was thinking, looking as though she had lost her soul.

How could she not be like this?

She herself had drunk over ten million last night! That was all money. Just thinking about it made her want to crash her head into a wall—wasn't this just too wasteful?

"Little granddaughter, hurry up and get up. The sun is shining on your bum."

"Grandma, no, no, let me sleep a little longer."

"Mn, then sleep away, Qianqian. Later on, I'll just eat the breakfast your daddy made for you... Ha..." Lin Qiuyan covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Ah, no! Qianqian's not sleeping anymore! Grandma, don't eat my breakfast!"

The little one instantly perked up the moment she heard Daddy had made breakfast, her little head shaking back and forth.

During breakfast!

Ling Yun mentioned his plan to take Qianqian out to play today, asking his mom how she planned to arrange her day. Lin Qiuyan stated that she wouldn't be going, and as for why she wasn't going, Ling Yun didn't ask.

Walking along the bustling street, Qianqian's little head looked around left and right. The tall figure and the tiny one drew quite a few gazes—the big one handsome, the small one adorable.

With a burst of harsh screeching brakes, a Maserati still failed to stop in time and crashed into a storefront. The front of the car was severely damaged, many people inside the shop shrieked, and plenty of pedestrians on the street were badly startled.

Two Audi cars pulled up in sequence behind it, and a group of people hurriedly swarmed out of the vehicles to quickly secure the Maserati. These people were all bodyguards.

"Call an ambulance quickly, Beibei is hurt!" A woman pulled a little girl of about three years old out from the car, her own right hand bleeding as well.

"Xiao Wang, check her fast! The rest of you, disperse the crowd immediately; there's still danger here!"

The bodyguard Xu Le called out to his companions while vigilantly watching the surroundings.

Three more cars driving up from behind all belonged to enemies, causing Xu Le to curse viciously. He recognized these people—they were the notorious Blood.

The little one was seeing this kind of scene for the first time, hugging Ling Yun's thigh and shivering. Clearly terrified, she couldn't even speak coherently, trembling all over.

"Daddy, I'm scared!"

Ling Yun reached out and scooped her up into his arms. "Don't be scared, don't be scared. Daddy's here."

While comforting her, he channeled a strand of divine power straight into her body.

Ling Yun was furious. His daughter had been frightened, and the consequences were grave. His rage erupted to the absolute limit. These ants, I sentence you to death!

In a flash, the color of the heavens and earth shifted; the sky instantly clouded over densely, and terrifying lightning began to brew.

Bolts of heavenly lightning crashed down, striking the Blood members directly. Seeing the suddenly altered sky, they didn't even have time to think before they were struck by the lightning.

Ah...

How could they possibly understand? They were only five meters away from the opposite side, yet why wasn't a single person on the other side struck, while their own side got hit no matter where they ran? There was simply no playing it this way.

Ferris was at least an S-rank, so he managed to hold on for a few more strikes. Ignoring everything, he immediately bolted toward that woman and child.

As long as he killed them, the mission would be complete. The moment he stood up, he was struck down again; he got up and got struck again, got up and got struck again. After a few rounds, he was dead as a dead could be, but the lightning still didn't spare him.

"Don't be afraid, Qianqian, Daddy's here. Look, they did bad things, and now they're getting struck by lightning." Ling Yun patted her back as he spoke.

The little one looked at the crowd being struck, and her complexion improved noticeably.

Mn?

Xu Le's side was also left dumbfounded by the sight. What the hell was going on here? Why were those guys getting hit by lightning, and what was up with this sudden anomalous sky?

Looking at the several charcoal corpses on the ground, they were truly bloody miserable. They were already dead yet still kept getting struck—just how many atrocious deeds had they committed?

Xu Le thought of a possibility, then walked over to a corpse. A look of joy crossed his face; sure enough, it hadn't struck him! Could it be that he was the protagonist? Was he a person favored by the heavens? Haha, he rejoiced inwardly.

Not just them, but everyone in the city wondered at this heavenly anomaly.

After everything passed, the sky returned to its former calm.

"Hurry, hurry and save my Beibei!" A woman cried out, her face covered in tears.

Hearing the voice, Xu Le and the swarm of bodyguards finally snapped out of their stupor.

"Quick, rush her to the hospital!" Xu Le's expression shifted as he remembered that Beibei had been shot.

"Come... come, it's too late, she's dead..." Xiao Wang lowered his head, stammering slightly.

"Impossible! Beibei won't die, you guys save her quickly! Whatever the price, anything is fine!" The woman shook her head, refusing to believe it.

"Eldest Miss, Beibei has already stopped breathing. Please accept my condolences." Xu Le stepped forward and felt the child's nose.

This time, the woman fell into complete despair, covering her face and weeping bitterly.

This woman was called Long Yanran, hailing from Jinling. The little friend beside her was named Long Beibei, her niece. This time, she had come to Jiangbei to visit relatives along with her sister-in-law Qin Xianglian.

Never had she expected that a group of people would pursue and hunt them down. How was she supposed to answer to her sister-in-law? A single trip out had left the mother and daughter separated by the netherworld—how could they accept this?

Ling Yun was holding his daughter and happened to be passing by.

"Daddy, why is that older sister sleeping on the ground?" she asked in a milky voice, pointing at Beibei lying on the floor.

"Mn!"

"Daddy, she's so pitiful. She doesn't have a daddy to take care of her; if she had a daddy, she wouldn't be lying on the ground." The little one's eyes turned red as she spoke.

"Mn, Daddy will take good care of you, though." Ling Yun held her and kept walking.

"Daddy, let's go wake her up, okay?" The little one patted her little head and said.

"Why is that?"

"This older sister will catch a cold sleeping on the ground, and then her mommy will definitely be so sad. Qianqian caught a cold before and mommy was super sad."

"Mn, then Daddy will go wake her up so that her mom and dad won't be sad anymore." Ling Yun stated honestly.

"Daddy is the best!" The little one planted a kiss on Ling Yun's face.

The dialogue between father and daughter had already reached the ears of Xu Le and the others.

Xu Le grew somewhat irritated. The person was already dead, yet he was still making jokes with a child. "Who the hell are you? Damn it, if you're going to act cool, at least pick your venue!"

Ling Yun ignored him entirely.

"Hello, beautiful lady. Might I ask if you mind me helping you wake this little friend up?"

With this different opening line, Long Yanran checked her crying and looked at Ling Yun—a handsome man. Thinking this was merely Ling Yun's way of offering comfort, she simply shook her head gently.

Ling Yun felt rather awkward; if not for his daughter's request, he wouldn't have lifted a finger even if people knelt until their heads shattered.

Holding Qianqian, he squatted down, touched the little friend's heart, poked her glabella with his finger, and called out softly, "Little friend, stop sleeping, wake up quickly!"

Beibei felt her entire body grow warm and wonderfully comfortable. Her eyes slowly opened to see a handsome uncle holding a jade-carved little sister who was smiling at her.

"Handsome uncle, are you angels sent to guide Beibei to heaven?" Beibei asked.

"Little friend, stop dreaming." Ling Yun chuckled lightly.

"That's right, that's right! Sister, don't sleep anymore, or even daddy won't be able to wake you!" the little one said earnestly.

Hearing Beibei's voice, Xu Le and the others were so frightened their legs went weak. Long Yanran whipped her head around to look, and sure enough, she saw Beibei open her eyes, immediately pouncing forward.

"Beibei, that's wonderful!"

Xu Le forcefully pinched his own thigh—it hurt, it wasn't a dream! Damn it, he had run into a ghost in broad daylight!

A still-shaken Xiao Wang hurriedly stepped over to check!

"This defies science! Someone tell me this isn't real. I've seen a ghost!"

Ling Yun stood up and smiled at them.

"You guys are too careless. How could you let a child sleep on the ground?" With that, he walked away, paying no mind to the shock in their eyes.

Xu Le didn't believe for a second that she had just been asleep; he was crystal clear that Beibei had already stopped breathing. Just how on earth had that man pulled that off? This was bringing the dead back to life! Was he a god?

Ling Yun had just slaughtered a group of Blood members, acquiring Merit Points, and immediately spent them on Beibei. Although he was fully capable of achieving resurrection without using Merit Points, having a plethora of methods made things rather troublesome otherwise.
