Chapter 440: Turns out the Wife is So Beautiful (Second Update)
"Boom——"After a brief pause, the Thunder Cloud formed an even larger mass, gathering and gathering again, compressing and compressing again. Within the black mist, the bluish-purple light ball became so conspicuous.
Suddenly, with a loud crash, it struck towards Mu Qiuniang.
The first white Lightning Protection Barrier couldn’t hold and shattered.
The remaining blue-purple light smashed onto the second layer of golden Lightning Protection Barrier.
The golden Lightning Protection Barrier shook but wasn’t damaged.
Mu Qiuniang glanced over, slightly furrowing her brow. She calculated, of the forty-nine Heavenly Tribulations, she had only passed forty, with seven more to go, and they were the increasingly powerful seven. This white barrier broke so quickly, what about the others?
She rummaged through her spatial storage, wondering if she could still find some lightning protection tools.
"Boom——"
"Boom——"
"Boom——"
After the forty-fifth bolt of lightning, this golden Lightning Protection Barrier finally couldn’t withstand it and shattered, countless golden fragments falling to the ground.
The forty-sixth bolt struck suddenly, catching Mu Qiuniang off guard. She barely managed to toss out a Lightning Protection Cloth before a bolt struck her head.
At the scene, she was a bit stunned!
Or rather, she was so paralyzed that she was stunned!
At the same time, Jiang Nuo felt a chest pain, as a bolt of Heavenly Tribulation descended from the sky and suddenly hit him.
The people, including Gong Xihe, who were just two or three steps away from him, were all dumbfounded.
What the heck!
Wasn’t this Heavenly Tribulation supposed to be targeting the Master of the Master Uncle? The Grandmaster was already standing so far away, and yet still got hit?!
The most concerning part was that they were all standing beside the Grandmaster, and none of them got hit; only the Grandmaster got struck, turning directly into a charred figure.
"Sect Leader, the Grandmaster he..." a white-robed disciple swallowed, speaking in shock.
"It’s okay, there’s still breath!" Gong Xihe snapped back to his senses and quickly used his consciousness to probe Jiang Nuo’s condition.
The completely numb Jiang Nuo, after the Spiritual Energy autonomously circulated through his meridians, gradually recovered his senses. His body shook, and a layer of crust fell off him.
Gong Xihe exclaimed, "Grandmaster, put on some clothes!"
Jiang Nuo reacted quickly, immediately casting a spell on himself to clad himself in a white Daoist robe.
"What happened to me just now? Why do I feel like I was struck by lightning too?"
"Seems like it!" Gong Xihe said uncertainly.
However, at that moment, the Heavenly Tribulation in the sky indeed seemed to be finished, with the lightning flickering and gradually diminishing, and the black clouds slowly dispersing, revealing a clear blue sky.
Over where Mu Qiuniang was, she was still lying on the ground, appearing quite embarrassed. This bolt of lightning really struck her squarely, especially the little figure in her Dantian, which seemed to have taken a bath in the Heavenly Tribulation, knocked unconscious by the electricity.
Luckily, the little figure was quite resilient, soon sitting up again, shaking its arms and legs, seemingly unharmed.
The Thunder Cloud in the sky dispersed, but somehow Mu Qiuniang felt like there was one less bolt.
Having seen a senior brother undergo a Heavenly Tribulation before, Mu Qiuniang had some experience, knowing that she looked quite disheveled now. She cast a "Clean Technique" on herself and changed into a clean set of clothes.
However, she forgot one thing, which was—after forming a Nascent Soul, her original appearance was automatically restored.
Therefore, when she stood up and walked in front of Jiang Nuo, Jiang Nuo was utterly bewildered.
"Wife, did you get cosmetic surgery?"
His first words were just like that.
Although his wife’s current face was stunningly beautiful, graceful and otherworldly, it wasn’t his wife’s face. As for the stunned onlookers around, they were all completely ignored.
Once they returned to Mu Qiuniang’s cave mansion, Mu Qiuniang firmly told him, this was her true appearance, and the previously more delicate face was because she had once gone mad while cultivating and "disfigured" herself.
Actually, her master had a way to cure her, but her master said it was better that way, saving a lot of trouble, so they let her live with that face all the time.
She didn’t expect, just by forming a Nascent Soul, her face would revert.
Jiang Nuo felt a bit aggrieved: "But wife, how do I feel that your previous face was prettier?" The crucial point is, that face, not considered beautiful, was already enough to attract a lot of attention. If this face were to get out, how could he survive?
No!
The more critical problem is, his sweet rice would definitely think he changed a wife!
Oh oh... he really didn’t change wives!
He always had only one wife from the beginning to end!
Mu Qiuniang smiled, beautiful as a dream, like a celestial maiden descending to earth, with meteors and clouds intertwining in the sky, accompanied by celestial music and dancing cranes.
Jiang Nuo found it a bit hard to adapt to her current beauty, his entire being entranced.
Goodness gracious! This kind of beauty, is it even human?!
"Wife, I think it would be better if you don’t smile outside!" Jiang Nuo swallowed, holding down his overly active heart.
Even if others didn’t say it, looking at this excessively refined face, he himself felt like he changed wives.
Mu Qiuniang’s brow slightly furrowed.
A beauty frowning, it’s the most heart-wrenching!
Jiang Nuo hurriedly covered her brow: "Wife, don’t frown, it pains my heart!"
This face is too much temptation, just a slight frown made him feel like he committed a colossal sin, wanting to dissect his heart to atone.
He finally understood why his wife’s master didn’t let her regain beauty too soon. Damn it! If she regained it, what then? Even if her master sent people to follow, they might lose her.
With such beauty, captivating a kingdom is a trivial matter! Not dominating the world just for a smile from a beauty would already be quite commendable.
Mu Qiuniang sighed softly: "I better wear the face mask!"
Although she’s not fond of that thing, to avoid trouble, it’s the only way.
"Yes, wife, when you’re outside, you must wear it. But in front of me, there’s no need. Wife, don’t worry, I’m just suddenly facing a stranger’s face, a bit unused to it; after I see it more often, I’ll be fine."
"Mm!"
"Wife, you think your master’s decision back then was very wise!" Otherwise, she wouldn’t even need to wait for him to pursue her; others would have already taken her away. Such a beautiful woman, one would risk their life to seize her.
Of course, unless Mu Qiuniang becomes strong enough that no one could surpass her.
Otherwise, going out might cause trouble. No, even without leaving, just a circulated portrait would stir endless turmoil.
By then, no matter how strong her master was, he might not be able to protect this disciple?
Rather than relying on others, waiting for rescue, it’s better to rely on herself.
Her master probably meant this, so he didn’t recommend her to restore her looks until she grew strong.
Jiang Nuo felt a deep admiration for Mu Qiuniang’s foresighted master. Once he ascends in the future, he must properly pay respects to Mu Qiuniang’s master, thanking him for years of guidance to Mu Qiuniang.
Although he hadn’t directly interacted with Mu Qiuniang’s master, through his interaction with Mu Qiuniang, he knew this master, who influenced Mu Qiuniang through both teachings and example, impacted her greatly. It could be said that the majority of the present Mu Qiuniang was shaped by her master.
