Chapter Seventy-One: Awakening

  His body emitted a scorched smell, and his mouth was spewing out cyan smoke, but Wu Xiaotian had no choice but to tell stories about the swirling Thunder Dragon Purple Spirit in front of him.

  "This Great Sage Equaling Heaven is just a monkey, who doesn't know about official ranks and salaries, but only cares about having his name registered. The two heavenly officials under the Heavenly Palace, attend to him morning and night, only knowing that he eats three meals a day and sleeps on one bed at night, with nothing to worry about..."

  Wu Xiaotian originally wanted to casually tell a story to fool her, but Lei Longzi seemed to know that she was being fooled and directly used lightning to electrocute Wu Xiaotian, leaving him no choice but to recount his favorite stories from "Journey to the West", which left Ziyue entranced.

  "To know what happens next, wait for the next episode!"

  Wu Xiaotian's mouth was already dry, and he couldn't help but bring out this famous saying, looking at the Thunder Dragon with expectant eyes, expecting her to tell him how to leave this conscious space.

  "Alright, I'll tell you how to get out, but next time you come in, you have to tell me a story!"

  The purple spirit voice that emerged in his mind made Wu Xiaotian overjoyed. This "Journey to the West" was indeed a killing tool.

  "Definitely, definitely."

  "Alright, okay, I'll tell you now. To leave this conscious space, all you need to do is absorb a bolt of lightning energy here."

  After hearing this answer, Wu Xiaotian's gaze swept the area, but where was the thunder and lightning energy? Was he supposed to go back again?

  Zi Ling also seemed to have discovered Wu Xiao Tian's predicament and directly said to the truly helpless Wu Xiao Tian: "In consideration of your storytelling for others, I'll give you a Thunderbolt Energy!"

  Wu Xiaotian was overjoyed, but when he saw the purple lightning shot out of Ziling's mouth, he was shocked. Because from Ziling, he learned that the Purple Thunderbolt could only be absorbed after his own Thunderbolt ability evolved to a higher level. Now if he went to absorb the Purple Thunderbolt, he would either collapse mentally and become a vegetable or an idiot, or die on the spot!

  Seeing the horror on Wu Xiaotian's face, Zi Ling's voice came: "Don't worry, this is someone else's thunder and lightning energy, not as violent as those outside!"

  Wu Xiaotian, who had let his guard down, tried to absorb the purple lightning. The purple lightning, upon discovering Wu Xiaotian in front of it, jumped up and drilled into Wu Xiaotian's Baihui acupoint.

  When the purple lightning just entered his body, a sharp pain was emitted from the distance in his mind. Slowly, the purple lightning was no longer in his mind, but wandered throughout Wu Xiaotian's entire body. Wherever the purple lightning wandered, Wu Xiaotian's various body parts would shine with a faint purple light, and the areas emitting this purple glow would transmit an intense pain!

  When Wu Xiaotian's whole body was shining with a faint purple light, Wu Xiaotian was in so much pain that he couldn't even think about slandering Zi Xuan, because this pain wasn't physical, but a soul-wrenching agony!

  "He's so weak, can't even withstand a tiny bit of my energy."

  This purple spirit looked at Wu Xiaotian, who was rolling on the ground in pain, and instead of feeling guilty, she complained that Wu Xiaotian's ability was too weak. She didn't expect that Wu Xiaotian's current Thunder Energy couldn't even gather a dragon shape, how could he withstand her innate Purple Thunderbolt!

  "Hmph, and waste someone's energy."

  Although she complained that Wu Xiaotian's ability was too weak, after all, he was her host, so she couldn't let him suffer like this. Zi Ling directly spat out a purple dragon bead from her mouth, and as soon as the purple dragon bead appeared, the sky and Lei Chi merged, with purple divine thunder constantly striking around the dragon bead. The lightning in Lei Chi's pool all turned purple. However, Zi Ling didn't care about these changes, controlling the purple dragon bead to fly above Wu Xiaotian, who had already been ravaged by the purple lightning to the point of being unrecognizable.

  "Wasting our family's energy, next time I see you, I'll make sure you tell me a hundred stories!"

  Wu Xiaotian's furrowed eyebrows relaxed and his expression softened a lot, no longer as ferocious as before.

  After a while, Wu Xiaotian's body finally returned to its normal color, and Ziliang also put away her dragon bead. After the dragon bead disappeared, the sky regained its calmness, and the thunder pool also returned to its normal color. It seemed that Ziliang had consumed a lot of energy, and with a tired yawn, she scanned Wu Xiaotian lying on the ground with her dragon eyes before returning to the thunder pool.

  In the real world, three people were worried and staring at Wu Xiaotian on the bed. Liu Ting had just discovered that Wu Xiaotian's body suddenly emitted a purple glow, his body curled up like a cooked shrimp, and his not-so-handsome face showed an extremely painful expression. This made Liu Ting anxious, wanting to wipe away the sweat drops flowing from Wu Xiaotian's body, but as soon as she touched his body, her hand was bounced back by a powerful force!

  Liu Ting hastily called Du Ziteng and Duan Yue over, and the three of them looked at Wu Xiaotian on the bed with worried expressions. The three people who didn't know the truth were anxious and didn't know how to help Wu Xiaotian, making those who cared about him flustered!

  Until the purple light on Wu Xiaotian's body slowly dissipated, his body no longer curled up, and his painful face relaxed, Liu Ting, Duan Yue, and Du Ziteng were finally let down from their high suspension.

  The three of them decided that if Wu Xiaotian didn't wake up, they would all stay by his side and keep an eye on him. If such a sudden situation happened again, they could also think of a countermeasure.

  And what about Wu Xiaotian, who was sleeping in bed? After fully absorbing the purple lightning energy, he fell into a deep sleep, and his nose even emitted a faint snoring sound. Although the three of them also heard Wu Xiaotian's snores, no one left the room, they all sat around the bedside watching their common brother, her lover.

  During this time, three people sat around Wu Xiaotian, only Duan Yue left for a while because his mother with old illness relapsed needed to be taken care of.

  When Duan Yue was spoon-feeding his mother the medicinal soup, he felt a surge of happiness, emotion, and gratitude. It was Wu Xiao Tian who had pulled him back from the depths of hell, giving him another chance to take care of his mother. Duan Yue was grateful to have such a brother, and with this brother by his side, what did he have to fear in this cruel post-apocalyptic world?

  After feeding his mother some food, Duan Yue watched as she slowly fell asleep. After covering her with a quilt, the voices of Du Ziteng and Liu Ting came from the next room. Duan Yue thought something had happened again and rushed to Wu Xiaotian's room.

  When Duan Yue opened the door, he saw Wu Xiaotian weakly leaning on the head of the bed, with a smile on his face and looking at him with warm eyes.
