A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 71: The Second Brother Ji was Struck by Lightning

The doubtful voice reached the ears of Ji Youran, Elder Ji, and Wang Dongxue.

Neither Elder Ji nor Wang Dongxue felt anything particular about it. After all, the medicinal herbs had already been ruined. Whether it was herbal dregs or medicinal soup in the Medicine Cauldron, it no longer mattered to them.

Only Ji Youran reacted. Upon hearing the words, he blanked out for a moment before finally understanding. Then he ran over with the speed of a hundred-meter sprinter and fell to his knees before the Medicine Cauldron.

"Let me see!"

His voice trembled as he spoke.

Xiaosuisui felt guilty. Her Eldest Uncle’s medicine had been unintentionally ruined by her. With her head bowed, she stared at the medicinal soup in the small Medicine Cauldron.

"How great it would be if you were Medicine Pills instead of medicinal soup! Then I could leave you here and wait for Eldest Uncle to come back and take you." the little girl thought wistfully. She watched helplessly as the last bit of medicinal soup was about to evaporate.

"Medicine Pills! That’s right! If I can’t refine Elixirs, I can just turn this into Medicine Pills!" Ji Youran’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Just as he extinguished the fire and was about to use a small spoon to scoop up a bit of the medicinal soup to solidify into a Medicine Pill, a thunderous RUMBLE suddenly echoed overhead.

Then, visible to the naked eye, a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm fell from the sky, striking the Medicine Cauldron directly.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

It took Wang Dongxue and Elder Ji a while before they remembered to check on Xiaosuisui and Ji Youran, who were closest to the Medicine Cauldron.

No! They didn’t care about Ji Youran’s life or death; they only cared about Xiaosuisui.

"Darling, are you okay?" Elder Ji held Xiaosuisui in her arms, looking her over from head to toe. The little girl even did a full turn in front of her grandmother and aunt.

"I’m okay, Grandma, Auntie!"

"Mother! Sister-in-law, I’m the one in trouble!" Ji Youran cried out miserably, feeling utterly dejected.

Damn it all! What had he done to incur such divine retribution and public outrage? To think even trying to salvage a little something could get him struck by lightning!

"Oh dear! Second Son, you...you’ve been struck by lightning?" Only after hearing Ji Youran’s voice did Elder Ji remember that her precious second son was also quite close to the small Medicine Cauldron, and she hurried to check on him.

Unexpectedly, her dear second son was now charred black, his hair nearly burned off, and the breath from his mouth was practically smoking.

"I...I’d also like to know why I was struck by lightning!" Ji Youran angrily questioned the heavens.

"You damn heavens, you did this on purpose, didn’t you? Did I rob your ancestors’ graves? Or did I sleep with your daughter? Why are you treating me like this?"

RUMBLE! Another thunderbolt fell from the sky.

"Second Uncle, watch out!" Upon seeing the thunderbolt falling, Xiaosuisui hurriedly ran over and pushed Ji Youran slightly.

Unexpectedly, the thunderbolt curved in its course. It struck Ji Youran directly on one side of his body.

"Second Son!" Both Elder Ji and Wang Dongxue were scared out of their wits.

Xiaosuisui’s mouth fell open. She looked up at the sky, then back down at her Second Uncle, who lay on the ground, his clothes torn to shreds by the lightning strike. It took a moment for what happened to sink in, and then she belatedly covered her small mouth with her hand.

"Damn heavens, you’re pretty sharp, huh? You’re actually chasing me with your strikes! If you dare, strike again! If you’re so brave, just strike me dead! If you can send down another bolt, I’ll worship you every day from now on; I’ll even become a vegetarian! If you can’t, then I’ll curse you to death every day, I..."

RUMBLE... Another thunderbolt fell from the sky, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

Although the sky had been clear when the two arm-thick bolts of Celestial Thunder had fallen, it was now suddenly covered with dark clouds. Moreover, it seemed as though a water-bucket-thick bolt of lightning was plummeting from the sky.

Elder Ji felt a tightening in her heart and immediately ran over, throwing herself on top of Ji Youran.

"You little rascal! Your mouth never has a filter, can’t you just lie low for a while?"
