Chapter 1049  : Tender Embraces under the Heavenly Tribulation!

The same thought flashed across everyone’s minds... The Heavenly Tribulation of a Saint Emperor; she’s a mere second level Venerable, how will she make it? The moment she comes into contact with it, she’ll turn into ashes...

Madam Miao’s eyes were wide opened. She moaned and her entire body went limp as she fainted...

Miao Huan Yu watched the dark skies that remained after that dazzling lightning dissipated blankly. Then he closed his eyes tightly. The hot tears he could no longer hold back came falling down...

Xiao Miao...

A look of despair filled the eyes of Cao Guo Feng, Bai Qi Feng, and the other Saint Emperors, their mouth gaping wide open. Oh no! Jun Ye... You lad... Are really foolish, ah...

“No!” Miao Jing Yun yelled, about to charge his way over!

“Wait! Look!” The one who held him back was that fourth level Saint Venerable that had snatched the Heavenly Jade earlier. His cultivation was the highest amongst all those present... His eyes were still fixed at the skies as he said, “The tribulation clouds have not dispersed! What are you anxious about?!”

“The tribulation clouds have not disappeared?! The tribulation clouds did not disperse? The tribulation clouds did not disperse! How is this possible?” Miao Jing Yun jolted and looked up at the sky. The three sentences were exactly the same, but it encompassed the emotional changes he had undergone. From doubt, to surprise, to disbelief!

The eighth lightning with powerful might had ended. Under such a powerful strike, Miao Xiao Miao definitely had no chance of survival. But why did the tribulation clouds not disperse yet?

The winds blew stronger as the rain poured down from the skies, turning darker! That’s right! Not only did the tribulation clouds not disperse, it had become thicker! As if it were even nearer to the ground...

All this proved that the Heavenly Tribulation had truly not ended yet, and was still ongoing...

A loud crackling sound rang out in the skies as another thick lightning bolt begin to take form, and the moment it took shape, it detached itself from the clouds and went striking down with great intensity...

Following it, more bolts of lightning were brewing in the clouds and descending consecutively. Completely not giving any time for the person undergoing the tribulation any chance to catch their breath! As if the Heavens had been enraged! In the duration of a mere breath, ten lightning tribulations had descended!

Everyone in the Misty Illusory Manor was collectively stunned!

This... what exactly was going on? These lightning tribulations that came after were getting thicker, stronger, and more intense... Those towards the back were as thick as a water jug... Following one after another, ceaselessly... Even if there was a huge mountain in the place where the person was undergoing the tribulation, it’d already have been turned into a flat plain... or perhaps, a lake, or even a valley...

Then what about Miao Xiao Miao, who was going through her tribulation there?... Would she able to endure it and pull through?

The current situation may be extremely unoptimistic, but since the Heavenly Tribulation did not dissipate, that meant...

Miao Xiao Miao was still going through her tribulation and did not die!

“I... am not dreaming, right?” Miao Jing Yun looked at the skies in daze and disbelief. He subconsciously reached to tug at his own beard. He winced at the pain. But it was as if it was not enough to prove to himself that this was reality. He pinched his own thigh... Then turned around, “This is not real...”

But it was with this turn that he realized that everyone present had the same expression as himself... some were even worse than his... their eyes were stuck...

Especially those few Saint Venerables. They were completely astounded: those few lightning strikes that came later were not easy to deal with, even for a Saint Venerable! Miao Xiao Miao... how did she make it through? Why was something like this happening?

Who was helping her? If that eighth lightning tribulation of a Saint Emperor was triggered by a Saint Emperor who had accidentally entered the boundaries of Miao Xiao Miao’s Heavenly Tribulation, then what was the explanation for what followed?! Those were clearly the lightning tribulation that was directed for a person who was going through the tribulation!

All these questions that puzzled them could only be asked when Miao Xiao Miao returned... because right now, no one dared to go over... With the strength of lightning bolts like this, even if that fourth level Saint Venerable went over, he’ll be completely charred...

As to those who were weaker than a Saint Venerable... why would they go there? The moment they went, they’d immediately turn into ashes...

.........

Miao Xiao Miao sobbed heart-breakingly, forgetting that she was still going through her tribulation, forgetting that she was still on the verge of life and death, completely forgetting her surroundings. Her Jun Ye had sacrificed himself for the sake of saving her! Just thinking of this made Miao Xiao Miao feel as if there was nothing else that attached her to this world, a feeling of sorrow and grief filling her entire heart...

“Sob... Wah... Didn’t I tell you not to come... Why do you not listen to me... If I die, you will still be able to live... But if you died, how do you want me to continue living? You tell me! You tell me ah...” Miao Xiao Miao wailed sorrowfully, her hands subconsciously hammering at the body on top of herself...

Suddenly, another dazzling flash lit up the skies and another lightning bolt descended.... Miao Xiao Miao instantly forgot to cry. This, what is going on?

Right! Jun Ye died on my behalf! But the lightning tribulation has yet to end!

That’s fine! Let me go to the netherworld with Jun Ye and reunite there!

Miao Xiao Miao closed her eyes bleakly and dissipated the small amount of Xuan Qi around her, facing that oncoming lightning completely defenseless... The only action she did was hug that ‘dead body’ on top of herself tightly...

“Bang!”

The earth shook! But the bizarre thing was, Miao Xiao Miao, who had completely given up hope and given up her will to live, did not turn into ashes! There was no reaction on the bodies of the both of them! Not even a tremor...

What is going on?!

“Um... so tight... could you loosen a little... you’re hugging me so tightly I can’t breathe... Are you trying to murder your husband...” While Miao Xiao Miao was trying to process the bizarre happenings with wide eyes, the ‘dead body’ on top of her was panting for breath with great difficulty. His warm breath exhaled from his mouth were blowing onto her own neck, as if it were very difficult to say this sentence...

Miao Xiao Miao’s eyes widened in shock. Could it the sudden movement of a corpse? That’s impossible...

Miao Xiao Miao gathered her senses and looked over, only to see a detestable jerk grinning. His face was hovering right above hers, seeing her eyes widen, he even winked teasingly...

“Ai... Looks like you don’t necessarily have to do bad things... to be struck by lightning.” The fellow on top of her was still joking. Looking at Miao Xiao Miao’s eyes that were completely shocked, this fellow even waved his hand before her beautiful eyes. “Hello... has your soul returned...”

“You... You... You’re not dead?” Miao Xiao Miao’s mind had completely stopped working, as she stammered this sentence.

“Nonsense. I have yet to hug my beauty home; how can I bear to die?” Jun Mo Xie rolled his eyes and said shamelessly.

“B-but... but... what is going on? Why is there such a bizarre change?” Miao Xiao Miao’s brains finally started working again as she slowly looked at the sky. Only to see countless lightning striking down at the both of them at a shocking might, but there was no feeling when it hit them...

“How could I know what is going on? Didn’t they say that there were only nine lightning tribulations? This is more like ninety-nine!” Jun Mo Xie innocently rolled his eyes and said. “Oh... I get it...”

“What? What did you get?” Miao Xiao Miao asked anxiously.

“Do you remember the second line of the couplet I told you about before? The Heavens must have thought that I did not clarify it enough, so they are giving you a personal experience of it...” Jun Mo Xie licked his lips and pointed at the skies and said, “See? Isn’t this ‘Thunder as the battle drums, lightning as the flags, who dares to battle?’ Do you understand it now? How vivid, ah!”

“I understand your head!” Miao Xiao Miao chided.

This person is really too heartless... At a time like this, he managed to say it as the Heavens are trying to explain the couplet...

Are the Heavens this free and idle?

Forget it, he is weaker in strength, so he may not know about the dangers of these things. I should focus on dealing with the lightning tribulation.

But how should I do it? I’m being pressed under his body, and every single part of our bodies are practically touching. Things that should be touched, things that should not be touched are all touching right now. Although Miao Xiao Miao knew that they were currently in a treacherous situation and she should not be thinking about other fantasies, but she still couldn’t help but turn red, her gaze shunning Young Master Jun. Not daring to look was one matter, but clearly feeling the muscular male body on top of her own, that unique manly scent filling her nostrils, Miao Xiao Miao could only feel her entire body going weak as her heart beat faster, completely forgetting about everything...

She seemed to have forgotten that she was going through her Heavenly Tribulation now... The mud on the ground had also turned into a warm bed... Aiyaya... What am I thinking about! This is so embarrassing! So embarrassing ah...

“What is there to understand about my head? You only need to understand one thing...” Seeing that panicked, trembling red lips beneath himself, Jun Mo Xie felt a fire suddenly burning from within him, forgetting what he originally wanted to say...

“Un-Understand what?” Miao Xiao Miao shied away with great difficulty, her eyes darting about, afraid to look at Young Master Jun, her face turning redder and redder...

“You only need to understand this...” Jun Mo Xie could no longer bear it. He leaned in captured the adorable, red lips under his body with his own...

“Mm...” Miao Xiao Miao was shocked, her first thought was: This scoundrel is too ridiculous, we are at a crucial time in going through the Heavenly Tribulation right now...

This lass only remembered that she was going through her tribulation now...

Her second thought was... Why is he so bold... To do this here... Mm...
