1200 Energy spent(Chapter preview)

Sima You Yue just couldn't understand this guy. Watching him cry all alone in an abandoned place really caused her to soften.

She entered with her consciousness, came by his side and stared at him, but she didn't say a word.

"Sob sob…"

Top Grade Purple Lightning looked at SIma You Yue with grievance. Why did she take such a long time to show up!

This little guy had yet to fully transform. He only had a fuzzy figure with just that pair of eyes, making them look exceptionally large and round. With how grieved he appeared, he really looked so adorable.

Although Sima You Yue was inwardly captured by his cuteness, but looked cold on the outside.

This guy was extremely arrogant. If she were to pamper him now, he would be unbearable in the future!

"Know your mistake?"

"Sob sob-"

Top Grade Purple Lightning didn't speak. It just continued to cry.

This girl was watching it cry so sadly but she just refused to comfort it. She only knew how to watch it with an ice cold expression, making it more sad, even more sad. It lost even more control of its spirit energy and struck its surroundings even more.

"Zap-"

A bolt of lightning struck Sima You Yue, causing her to almost lose consciousness.

Sima You Yue's expression fell even darker. She wasn't struck on the outside, but had been struck in her own territory.

Top Grade Purple Lightning was stunned and forgot to cry for a moment.

"Are you happy now with your lightning strikes? If you're done, then keep your energy away. You're going to annihilate my spirit pagoda at this rate."

"Then you shouldn't have locked me inside here." Top Grade Purple Lightning retorted.

"If you listened to my instructions, would I have locked you in here?"

"..."

"I know, you consider yourself as the Top Grade Purple Lightning, and you're very powerful. That's why you never cared about me. That's why you want to go once you've finished forming, and I won't stop you. I want a companion who will journey with me, not some great lord who needs me to wait on him." Sima You Yue said, "If you're not done striking the place with lightning, then continue. After all, this might be your last time coming in here."

After speaking, she prepared to go. Top Grade Purple Lightning continued to wail as if the world was ending. It was as if it had suffered a great grievance.

"You're the one who brought me over, now you say that you don't want me, sob sob-"

Sima You Yue heard his retort and pursed her lips. She looked at the mountains around her that had been struck into black ashes. Those tears continued to fall like rain. Maybe it really did feel wronged.

She sighed, then went up to hug it, saying, "No more striking, and no more crying."

Top Grade Purple Lightning took deep breaths and truly stopped crying. In the end, it breathed too deeply and ended up hiccuping.

"I'm cuter than that cloud spirit, and I'm stronger too." Top Grade Purple Lightning said in between breaths.

"You're the one who doesn't like it and keeps thinking of leaving once you've grown." Sima You Yue said.

"I was only thinking about it, I wasn't really going to do it." The little guy's anger had vanished as it snuggled deeper into her embrace.

"But you didn't take me as a comrade. That's why I said that I would let you go."

"Then I won't think about it anymore." Top Grade Purple Lightning said, feeling wronged.

"Then are you going to listen to me from now on?"

"Mm."

"Are you going to keep on striking?"

"I won't."

"Then once we get out, are you going to listen to me?"

"Fine then, I won't snatch anything." Top Grade Purple Lightning huffed, "Even if I don't snatch it, that guy won't be able to strike it to death. It will even allow it to succeed in growing and achieve acknowledgement from heaven."

"You know that?"

"I knew it just with a single look."

"If striking it with lightning won't help, then what can we do?" Sima You Yue asked.

"The only way is to keep it away." Top Grade Purple Lightning said.

"Then, are we able to grab the opportunity where it's just done with the calamity and is weak, to kill it off?"

"It's not impossible if you want it." Top Grade PUrple Lightning replied, "But it won't be so easy to kill it. But are you dumb? It's something so good, but you're going to kill it instead of keeping it?"

"It's so dangerous. If I can't control it, if it fights back, I'll be the enemy of all humanity." Sima You Yue said, "Although I've always felt like those people don't have much to do with me, to drag down the common person is a sin that I don't wish to carry."

Top Grade Purple Lightning thought for a moment, "It does seem to be the case. However, if I'm around, it definitely won't be able to fight back."

"Hehe…" Sima You Yue petted his head. This little guy was so cocky, it actually didn't look so bad.

"It's about to finish outside." Little Spirit's voice sounded.

"Then we should go outside and take a look."

Sima You Yue carried Top Grade Purple Lightning out. The lightning calamity outside had really almost finished.

Although the black mist had almost completely gone, the aura in the air didn't completely dissipate.

Sima You Yue found a spirit beast that looked like a black dog inside one of the holes in the ground caused by a lightning strike. It was covered with wounds, but had a trace of breath left.

She carefully went closer, but that Devil's Blood didn't have any reaction.

"This guy actually didn't die." She knelt down and used Crimson Flame's fire to surround herself as she examined the situation carefully.

"Useless!" Top Grade Purple Lightning glanced sideways at the Lightning Calamity in the air.

Because of its negligence, this kind of entity had actually formed. Right now, it had not even fully formed, but it was still unable to strike it to death. It was useless!

"Is this thing going to punish it?" Sima You Yue asked, "It would be such a pity to kill it just like that."

"Why don't you form a contract with it." Top Grade Purple Lightning said, "Don't you have the darkness attribute? You were able to form a contract with Little Dream and the others, so you should be able to form a contract with that."

"But this looks so powerful. If I form a contract with it, will I be able to control it?" Sima You Yue was a little hesitant, "I don't want to end up being devoured by this guy and end up being its slave instead."

"With me around, it would never be able to." Top Grade Purple Lightning said confidently, "In any case, Crimson Flame is able to suppress it too."

Sima You Yue was a little worried, so she went to ask Crimson Flame.

"You want to keep it?" Crimson Flame wasn't too surprised at the idea. Based on her personality, she wouldn't let this chance go.

"I kind of have this idea, but I have my hesitations." Sima You Yue said, "We might be able to find a use for it in the ghost realm."

Crimson Flame came outside and looked at Devil's Blood who was on his last breaths. His eyebrows furrowed as he asked, "Why can't I feel its inner energy anymore?"

"It seems so!" Top Grade Purple Lightning dashed over and zapped Devil's Blood a little, but it couldn't sense any of its energy at all.

"What's going on?" Sima You Yue placed her hand on Devil's Blood's body, but she truly couldn't feel a bit of spirit energy at all.

"Could it be that this heavenly lightning didn't strike it to death, but turned it into a waste instead?" Sima You Yue guessed.

"That's not too possible." Crimson Flame denied it, "There are two explanations why this could be happening."

"What two reasons?"

"It could be that the lightning strikes broke its spirit energy and did turn it into a waste, but those who suffer this don't usually last to the end."

"And the other?"

"The other reason could be that the lightning tribulation wasn't able to zap it to death but also couldn't let it continue to harm humans, so the heavenly law sealed its power away."
