Chapter 26
Chapter 26
There were fewer people in the alley, so she could use some talismans to increase her speed.
As Ji Jing ran, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the subway station sign.
Enter the subway? Could a human’s facilities avoid the lightning tribulation? She quickly rejected this idea.
If the lightning didn’t stop and kept waiting to strike her, the city would definitely be flooded. It wouldn’t be good if other accidents happened.
Ji Jing walked into an empty alley. She had used up too much energy. She stopped by leaning against the wall and bent down to catch her breath.
She had to find a way to avoid the lightning. Which big demons lived nearby? They should have a lot of magic tools in their hands. Perhaps they could ask for help…
Suddenly, the raindrops that hit Ji Jing’s body disappeared.
She raised her head and saw a large, white umbrella with fish-bone shaped ribs separating her from the rain.
The kind-hearted person holding the umbrella was a mysterious and handsome young man.
Ji Jing stood up and looked at him. Her breathing gradually calmed down.
In her eyes, the young man in front of her was surrounded by a faint golden light. This was a symbol of merit.
Unless an ordinary person had great merit in saving the country and the people in their previous life, it was very difficult for them to accumulate such a visible golden light of merit.
This kind-hearted person was probably not a human, but a demon, a great demon.
It was not necessarily a good thing to encounter a demon when encountering a lightning tribulation. The thoughts of a demon were completely different from that of a human. They often did whatever they wanted. Whether they wanted to help or harm others was only a matter of a thought.
However, the light of Virtue on his body was so obvious. Was it an auspicious beast?
Ji Jing let her guard down slightly and quietly sized up the ‘kind-hearted person’.
The young man was wearing a light green long robe with complicated auspicious dark patterns drawn on it. On his shoulder was a gray bird that looked like a black eagle.
The gray bird seemed to have noticed Ji Jing’s observation and called out softly. Its voice was different from that of an ordinary bird, more like the cry of a baby.
This strange bird was actually the legendary Gu eagle that could eat people. It looked like it was still underage.
The young man tilted the umbrella closer to Ji Jing.” Are you okay?””
Coincidentally, another bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the dark alley.
With the help of the faint light of the lightning, Ji Jing saw the dark patterns on the youth’s clothes. It was a divine beast with a dragon’s head and a beast’s body riding on an auspicious cloud.
So it was Bai Ze.
Realization dawned on Ji Jing, and she instantly felt relieved.
There were many big demons living in C City, including the divine beast Bai Ze. Unexpectedly, her luck was quite good. There were not many great demons who could help her avoid the lightning tribulation, and Bai Ze happened to be one of them.
Ji Jing calmed her breathing.” I’m fine. Thank you.””
The young man nodded and continued to ask,”Do you need help?””
Bai Ze knew everything. He didn’t need to do divination like the Abbey Dean to easily see that she was being chased by the lightning tribulation.
It was obvious that the young man was not asking if he wanted to help him hide from the rain, but if he wanted to help him hide from the lightning tribulation.
Ji Jing finally heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.” I really need it! Thank you.”
The young man gestured for her to hide under the umbrella.” You’re welcome.” This is Grandmother’s instruction.”
The youth led Ji Jing out from another path, and the thunder seemed to be getting weaker and weaker.
Ji Jing nodded, indicating that she understood, but she didn’t ask further.
The Baize clan knew everything and even had the ability to predict major events, but they had a unique code of conduct. Because they were limited by the laws of heaven and earth, even if they knew everything, there were many things that they could not say.
Therefore, she didn’t plan to ask about things that Bai Ze didn’t tell her on his own initiative.
Under the gloomy sky, the pure white umbrella created a peaceful space for Ji Jing. She followed Bai Ze and could not help but relax.
Ji Jing was the first to break the silence between the two.” How should I address you?”
Baize was the name of a clan. Just like ” humans “, every Baize had its own name.
The young man replied,” You don’t need to use honorifics. My name is Ming Ze. What about you?” Do you like me to call you Zizhu or Ji Jing?”
Sure enough, Bai Ze knew this without asking.
“Call me Ji Jing.””
“Alright, I’ll be back soon.”
