He had to use Sky-Tearing Claw for 52 straight days, parting the clouds to reveal the sun, all just to make rainbows so their master could pursue a man.
Xiong Jun: "..."
He was so speechless he wanted to die!
Damn it...
How had he ended up with a boss like this and a whole team of lunatics?
Enough already! Soul Beasts could just hurry up and go extinct!
"Di Tian, don't you have Dragon God Claw too? Why aren't you doing it?"
"Anyway, I'm not doing it. If it needs doing, you do it yourself."
Xiong Jun rolled his eyes.
He wasn't the only one who could rend the sky. Di Tian's Dragon God Claw was even more powerful than his Sky-Tearing Claw.
Making rainbows to help their master pursue a man was such an important job that he'd leave it to Di Tian instead of fighting him for it.
"Hmph, Xiong Jun, you're doing it whether you want to or not."
"One day each. That's my final offer."
Di Tian snorted, but he did make a concession.
He could take turns with Xiong Jun.
He would rend the clouds for one day, and Xiong Jun would do it for one day. That was as far as Di Tian was willing to bend.
Besides, he and Xiong Jun could each take every other day off.
If Xiong Jun wouldn't pitch in for something as important as helping their master pursue the mistress, then that darned bear really did want to die!
No, he might as well not be alive at all.
"Fine!"
Sensing Di Tian's icy killing intent, Xiong Jun reluctantly agreed and shrank his neck.
One day each, then!
Why was he being so fierce?
He'd do it, all right?
That very day,
the Ferocious Beasts got to work in an orderly fashion.
Eastsea City was right on the coast, and with a typhoon on the way, manipulating a few rain clouds wasn't difficult.
Rumble!!!
Thunder cracked in a clear sky, followed by a torrential downpour, then the rain stopped and the sky cleared, bringing out a rainbow.
The whole process was precise and efficient.
"Holy crap!!"
Xie Xie was so startled that his legs trembled.
"Brother Ji had just said he liked rainbows, and one appeared right away!"
"Could Gu Yue have made it?"
"What's Gu Yue's deal?"
"She can even make rainbows?!"
"Wulin, do you think it's too late for me to get on my knees and apologize to Boss Gu Yue?"
Xie Xie's voice was already breaking into a sob.
Gu Yue, I was wrong!
If I'd known you were this amazing, I wouldn't have mocked you!
"Xie Xie, you're overthinking it."
"How could Gu Yue possibly make a rainbow?"
"It's just a coincidence."
"I think Brother Ji is blessed by fate. He said he liked rainbows, so one appeared."
Tang Wulin waved his hand.
Compared to Xie Xie's theory, he thought his own theory about Brother Ji being destined for rainbows was more plausible.
How could anyone make a rainbow?
It was just a coincidence. Look how scared Xie Xie was—he'd turned into a startled bird.
"A coincidence?"
Xie Xie shook his head, the corner of his mouth twitching.
Compared to his theory that Gu Yue was the mastermind behind the rainbow, Tang Wulin's theory about fate was clearly even more ridiculous.
Well... forget it. For now, he'd just assume it was a coincidence.
"A rainbow?"
Ji Fengyu's heart stirred. He immediately used Martial Soul Possession, spread his Rainbow Dragon wings, and flew toward the rainbow.
Yellow, yellow!
Two Hundred-Year Soul Rings and the Hundred-Year Spirit Soul Seven-Colored Crown appeared.
He flew toward the rainbow's glow as threads of Rainbow Power flowed into Ji Fengyu's body.
His Soul Power and mental strength began to rise...
Ji Fengyu flew a long way, only stopping his pursuit once the rainbow faded.
He'd gained quite a lot.
Just as the Purple Demon Eye absorbed the purple qi from the east, the Rainbow Power in each rainbow was limited too.
Ji Fengyu could absorb all the Rainbow Power in just two breaths. Chasing rainbows was his hobby,
and it was also an excellent simulated cultivation environment, beneficial both for cultivating Soul Power and for understanding Rainbow Power.
He slowly descended onto the dormitory rooftop,
then sat cross-legged and began to digest the Rainbow Power.
"A simulated cultivation environment?"
"Absorbing the power of rainbows?"
On a high-rise not far away, Wu Zhangkong stood tall, dressed in white with a Blue Sword at his side, silently watching the scene.
Something strange happened.
For the next 52 days,
there was a rainbow every single day!
Sometimes it was clear, sometimes faint, but it was always there.
Xie Xie was nearly scared out of his wits!
On the second day, he and Tang Wulin found it strange, but still thought it was a coincidence.
By the fifth day, he and Tang Wulin had gone numb to it.
By the fifty-second day, they were begging, "Great and almighty God Gu Yue, please forgive our ignorant offense!"
"Damn it! Is it too late to get on my knees and apologize to Gu Yue?"
Xie Xie was close to tears.
"I'll go with you."
Tang Wulin swallowed too.
They'd trespassed in the home of the gods!
Just because Ji Fengyu had said he liked rainbows, Gu Yue had conjured up 52 days' worth of them for him!
That was ridiculous...
Who exactly was Gu Yue?
Was she the princess of some Deity?
Tang Wulin disliked Gu Yue, but she was so powerful that they couldn't afford to provoke her!
The two kindred spirits in misery were just about to go apologize to Gu Yue
when a voice rang out from the Soul Guidance display nearby:
"Here's a recent news report..."
"A spectacular rainbow phenomenon has appeared in Eastsea City for 52 consecutive days. After studying it, Celestial Phenomenon Douluo stated that the approaching typhoon had caused meteorological disturbances. He advised everyone not to worry too much..."
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie stopped in their tracks.
A typhoon?
The rainbows that had lasted for 52 days weren't because of Gu Yue, but because of the approaching typhoon and the atmospheric disturbances?
The two hurried over to the display and continued watching the news.
"Celestial Phenomenon Douluo is a Titled Douluo who commands the power of the weather. He has the world's foremost ability to predict and control the weather, so his words carry great authority..."
After watching the news, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie still weren't entirely convinced.
It was just too damn strange.
Could it really be such a coincidence?
Brother Ji had just told Gu Yue he liked rainbows, and then rainbows appeared for 52 days straight?
"Let's check!"
Xie Xie and Tang Wulin exchanged a glance, then hurriedly took out their Soul Guidance Phones and started searching.
<A typhoon codenamed "Angry Seal" will make landfall in Eastsea City in two weeks. Residents are advised to reduce travel...>
There really was a typhoon!
So it was a coincidence?
The two stared at each other.
"Damn, it really is a typhoon!"
"We almost let that shameless Gu Yue pull off a huge stunt!"
"I knew it. How could Gu Yue be that amazing?"
"If she really were that amazing, she would've crushed me like an ant already!"
Xie Xie clutched his still-thumping heart and started cursing aloud.
That was terrifying!
Gu Yue had almost really pulled off a huge stunt!
He'd even been about to kneel and apologize to her. So all along, it was just a typhoon!
"No, wait!"
"We have to tell Brother Ji right away!"
"Otherwise, what if Brother Ji really thinks Gu Yue caused the typhoon and the rainbows for those 52 days, and agrees to go out with her?"
Tang Wulin snatched the Soul Guidance Phone from Xie Xie and stared at the typhoon forecast, nearly crushing the phone in his hand.
"Right, right!"
"We have to tell Brother Ji! We can't let that show-off Gu Yue put on a big act and win him over!"
Xie Xie slapped his forehead too.
What if Brother Ji thought Gu Yue really had the power to create 52 days of rainbows, was intimidated by her might, and moved by all her effort, then gave in to her?
That would be terrible!
The two rushed toward the dormitory rooftop, frantic with worry.
The rooftop.
Ji Fengyu slowly opened his eyes and breathed out.
"What a beautiful rainbow!"
"Run into a rainbow, and the rainbow is mine!"
"I'm level 28!"
