Shen Lian gazed into Lei Jing deeply as he spoke softly,
Do you know, the free-spirited wind in between heaven and earth is too an exhibit of the summoning of wind and rain?

Lei Jing looked up to the fringe by Shen Lian’s ears that were swaying in the wind. It was not that she was dazed by infatuation, but it felt more like a spring breeze that caused a ripple in a pond.
The puff of air not only affected Shen Lian’s hair but also the edge of his clothes. The motion was reflected in the water.
At that moment, Shen Lian felt like the deity at the center of the world, who was looking down to all living beings underneath him. She was so insignificant. Despite Shen Lian’s gentle words, they could not dispel the fear she felt deep down.
Lei Jing was not a cowardly woman, but as she placed Shen Lian at too high up of a position, she appeared to be lowly in contrast.


Shen Lian could tell, but he did nothing because he rarely interfered about what people thought and what they wanted to do.
He lifted his hand, with the palm facing down and the back of the hand facing up, Shen Lian’s gaze was focused on the void. In the middle of his hand, there appeared the mana of the origin for summoning the wind and rain, like spirals which were circulating in opposite direction and causing a swirl endlessly. The carefree wind gathered in Shen Lian’s hand in just a moment of time. Lei Jing could feel that the humidity of the surrounding air increased, and the wallflowers seemed to be a little wilted, as they had lost a lot of water.
Lei Jing was deeply moved by the scene and hence she paid attention to the spirals underneath Shen Lian’s hand. As they rotated at high speed in opposite direction, they ultimately formed an unbreakable energy ball.
Shen Lian’s hand was moving in the void, like the motion of the sun and the stars, which was full of an unstoppable glamor. More and more wind and water gathered underneath Shen Lian’s palm but the ultimate mana of the origin for the summoning of the wind and rain did not increase.
Eventually, the energy ball in Shen Lian’s palm was thrown towards the sky, which was immediately turned into a sky full of dark clouds. As the wind rose and the clouds scudded, it began pouring.
Shen Lian and Lei Jing still sat on top of the roof, and the strong wind and rain could not invade the space within three feet from their surroundings.
Lei Jing felt like she was in another world as she looked at the pouring rain.
She could tell that while sir had only used part of the mana of the origin for the summoning of wind and rain and it was already sufficient to cause such a stir. The more stunning part was that when Shen Lian made use of the power, there were no signs of disturbances in his body. The mana for the summoning of wind and rain was very stable as well.
Lei Jing thought for a while,
Sir, what you did to demonstrate the supernatural power was to turn the mana into a spiral that has a positive and a negative sign. In that case, there will be the power of attraction and repulsion. With a balance of the two powers, inevitably it will become stable. If I can form such a mana seed within myself, when I expel the mana, I will not have to worry about losing control of the supernatural power. I can also control the amount of the mana needed to blend into the Qi of heaven and earth in order to achieve a true harmony of the internal and external world that do not clash with each other and cause damage to myself.

Shen Lian spoke softly,
Jing Er, your spiritual wisdom is extraordinary. You can try now, following the same actions as I did.



Lei Jing followed what Shen Lian did. Her palm was facing downward, and the mana of the origins flooded over suddenly. As she was thinking about controlling the mana and dividing it into two streams to be circulated in two opposite directions, the mana exploded. The wild storm which was in the vicinity of the two was stopped before it could cause any damages.
At the same time, Lei Jing noticed that regardless of the amount of pouring rain, the rain was limited to her corner only. As there were no maids or servants around, the world felt like it was stopped and only Shen Lian and she were still in motion.
Shen Lian waved his hand. The wind and rain in the outside world stopped and time became stagnant and it was as if Shen Lian and Lei Jing were the only ones who could move in the paused timing.
Lei Jing looked at the wind and rain, lines of water were naturally formed by the water droplets. From her angle, it seemed that the world was covered with a huge curtain. Every bead of water was clearer than the crystals.
This scenery could not be found in the whole of Diqiu, as no one could stop the time.
Lei Jing even began to doubt if it was a dream born from Shen Lian’s tricks but everything in the dream was too realistic.
She bit Shen Lian’s arm suddenly and felt the pain in her teeth.
Shen Lian smiled and asked,
Is it painful?

Lei Jing nodded in a serious manner,
Very, but now I am sure that this is a dream.

Shen Lian said,
Because it’s a dream, you can try what I did just now without fear. You don’t need to be afraid of injuring or damaging the body.



Lei Jing came to a revelation about sir’s intention of crafting a dream, as it was only possible for her to keep trying the technique of summoning wind and rain in such environment until it became natural for her.
If the cultivators in the world knew of such a realistic dream existed, they would probably treat it as a supreme holy land, as even if they failed while cultivating here, the consequence was minimal as they could do it all over again.
As Lei Jing had understood the purpose of the dream, she had no reservation in summoning the wind and rain. She finally succeeded once after trying for the hundredth time, and she did it again after trying for another fifty times. Later, her success rate was at about eight to nine out of ten times. In the end, she almost never failed.
The wind and rain in her surrounding came and ago, same for the lightning and thunder.
Lei Jing was immersed in it as she summoned again and again.
Shen Lian had already left her side long ago.
Prefect Grand Usher Lei Nuo was still awake at midnight. He had been hiding in the reading room recently as his abdomen grew bigger each day. Even heart beats could be heard from his big abdomen.
A living thing which had not taken shape was being nurtured in his body. To be exact, he, as a man, was pregnant.
He was a careful thinker, but the only thing he did not predict was that Shen Lian’s prohibition could make him pregnant.
Lei Nuo did not dare to let anyone know about this or else it would bring shame to the Youhu’s.


He dared not to abort it either as the essence of his Qi and blood were all gathered in his abdomen.
If he damaged the fetus, he would be destroying more than half of his Qi and blood and this would cause him to lose a great deal of his power too. Ultimately, he would be weakened to a state of an average individual from Xia Clan. Till then, it would be impossible to hide.
He could only hope that Shen Lian would keep to his three-months promise. Afterall, the date was closing.
Lei Nuo’s study room was adorned with night pearls. At night, he would order people to remove the lampshades. All four corners of the walls would be lit, and there would not be any shadows.
Under this impossible circumstance, a pool of black shadow appeared in the study room. It was as black as ink and as soft as mud.
Lei Nuo’s stared at the black shadow as he sprouted the words,
Guard of the netherworld.

The black shadow gathered and formed a monster with a human head and a dragon body. There were dark scales all over its body. He looked as if a dragon had a failed attempt at transforming into a human.
The guards of the netherworld were indeed the extraordinary guards who would only obey the orders of Emperor Xia. They all possessed unique bloodline, which granted them supernatural power. Their unique attribute in certain aspects made them excellent candidates for certain tasks, and the standard was as good as the walking celestials of the earth.
