107 I Won’t Fall, Right?
Su Binglan stood on the eaves, unmoving no matter how hard the wind blew. She used her Soul Power to sense Heaven and Earth’s power as light rays surrounded her.
Su Binglan looked different from before. Her expression was fierce as a sacred and untouchable aura filled her entire body.
Swish! Rustle!
The wind grew stronger. Suddenly, dark clouds covered the starry sky when Su Binglan activated the power of Heaven and Earth. The world darkened, and not even a trace of moonlight nor starlight could shine through the clouds.
It was that moment Su Binglan knew it was the right time. She snapped her fingers at the sky, and thunder began to rumble.
Rumble!
Thunder rumbled one after another.
Crackle!
Lightning streaked across and lit up the cloudy night sky. Even the blowing wind was full of vapor. Soon after, rain began to fall. It was a downpour.
…
Su Binglan felt the rain and heaved a sigh of relief. Although she was now a mortal and had yet to recover her Soul Power, she could still attract rain and lightning.
The villagers of Su Teng Village were already sound asleep at that time. However, the thunder was loud, and the lightning was bright, so everyone woke up.
The villagers were stunned, and they wondered if they were hallucinating.
“Is that thunder I hear? Is it going to rain?”
“That’s thunder, right? It hasn’t rained for months, so the thunder better not be pulling our legs.”
There was typically thunder during the night, but it did not rain even when the villagers excitedly covered their farming tools. There could be sounds of thunder in the distance, but rain would not fall onto their village.
Therefore, the villagers waited to see if it would rain. If it did, the villagers would go to their courtyard to cover their tools so the rain would not damage them. Still, they did not expect it to rain cats and dogs soon after.
Smack! Clap! Slap!
The rain hit the villagers’ windows.
“It’s raining for real!”
“Yeah, it is!”
The villagers were ecstatic as they ran into their courtyards, not caring if they would get drenched by the rain or not.
“Hahaha! It’s finally raining!”
“Woo-hoo!”
One could only imagine how vital rain was to a villager who sold crops for a living.
Sure, it was midnight, but the lightning gradually lit up Su Teng Village as every family lit their candles and oil lamps.
Su Binglan stood on the eaves and heard the villagers’ laughter as she chuckled. Although it was pouring as she stood in the open, the rain seemed to avoid her, so she did not get wet.
Su Binglan was about to return home when she looked down and saw a man in the yard. The man stood quietly with an oil-paper umbrella, but his eyes lingered on Su Binglan.
Su Binglan’s expression changed when she realized the man was Luo Jin’an. She wondered if Luo Jin’an had seen what she did and if she had exposed herself.
She remembered Luo Jin’an being asleep because she had given him a sedative, so how could he wake up so suddenly?
Su Binglan was afraid her husband might notice the rain avoiding her, so she hurriedly stopped using her powers.
