Chapter 37 37. Old World Waterfall
"You mean, when you first saw me, you discovered that I had a soul seed?" Jin Ci's tone was complicated.

"Yes." Jin Jiu nodded, and then continued: "It's just that this is a secret technique from another world after all. I don't have the corresponding energy to remove it. If I use other forces to remove it, it will harm your body."

"So the soul seed is still in my body?" Jin Ci was a little nervous.

After all, no one wants to have a time bomb buried in their body. Even though they know that the person who planted the bomb is dead and the bomb may never explode in this lifetime, they will still be afraid and even feel disgusted.

"Gone." Jin Jiu explained: "The soul seed can either be removed with the power of that world, or it will disappear naturally after the other party takes over my body. Otherwise, I won't give her the chance to take over my body."

Jin Ci understood. No wonder Lin Qian deliberately asked her to bring Xiaoyue with her yesterday. It turned out that she wanted her to take action quickly.

Although I am very busy today, it is better to take action early and solve the problem early than to suddenly take over Jinjiu's body when Jinjiu is not available or is unaware of the situation. Jinjiu is not a god and will not descend from the sky in time when Jinci is in trouble.

"How can you be sure that she will do it today?"

“Because I felt threatened.”

"Threat? Did you threaten her?" How could she not know?
"Although the soul seed was cultivated by her, if there is a powerful ghost, it can forcibly cut off her connection with the soul seed and take over her body. Lin Qian has been by your side for the past two days. She must have felt it. She thought there was another ghost coveting your body, and she was anxious."

Since there are other ghosts coveting it, she naturally has to strike first.

Jinci was silent.

She now suddenly understood why Jin Jiu had caused her to see a ghost on the first day they met.

At first she thought it was Jinjiu's personality and he wanted to scare her, but now it seems that Jinjiu had probably already started planning to remove the soul seed at that time.

"Thank you." Jin Ci said after a long while.

Jin Jiu smiled and said, "You're welcome. Of course, if you must thank me, do me a favor."

Jin Ci: "...What can I do for you?"

Ten minutes later, Jinci followed Jinjiu to the top floor.

The place where the Jin family held the banquet today was not a high-end hotel, but a large private residence of the Jin family itself, which covered a large area and had a great view from the rooftop.

"What on earth are you doing?" Even though Jin Ci knew that Jin Jiu would not harm her, she suddenly brought her to an empty rooftop. Moreover, it was late at night. Although it was summer, there was an inexplicable cool breeze that made her whole body feel cold.

"Have you ever seen lightning?"

"what?"

Jinjiu smiled mysteriously, then raised one hand and pointed to the sky.

Although she didn't know the deep meaning of this action, Jin Ci felt that the horror atmosphere disappeared because of Jin Jiu's action, and there was only an inexplicable awkward and immature feeling.

Before she could say anything, there was suddenly lightning and thunder in the sky. Jin Ci was startled. She looked up subconsciously, but saw nothing.

She didn't see it, but Jinjiu saw it. She saw a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm striking straight towards her, and then suddenly "disappeared" just like at noon.

But she knew that the lightning did not disappear, but was absorbed by Jin Ci!

As expected, this good sister of mine has a special physique that can withstand lightning!

Jinjiu's eyes instantly lit up like light bulbs.

With this 'lightning rod', won't this evil God be able to do anything to her anymore?

Jin Ci, who didn't know yet that she had become a lightning rod, inexplicably felt that for a moment she was full of energy, as if she had drunk a large jar of tonic soup.

"What just happened?"

"No, nothing happened." Jin Jiu shook her head decisively, and then saw Jin Ci's face with a look of "I don't believe it or not". Jin Jiu naturally couldn't say that she treated others as a lightning rod, how hurtful to the sisterhood!

So she just glossed over the matter.

Although Jin Ci felt it was strange, there was nothing she could do since Jin Jiu didn't say anything.

The two people didn't stay on the rooftop for long, because they didn't know why, but the sky was clear, but it suddenly started to rain heavily.

Jinjiu quickly carved some water-repellent beads for Jinci on the spot, and then he walked slowly, not caring about the rain getting his whole body wet.

Jin Ci got anxious when she saw this and grabbed Jin Jiu and ran away.

When they ran to a place where they could take shelter from the rain, she said unhappily, "You are capable of making water-repellent beads, why don't you make one for yourself too?"

Although it is summer and I won’t catch a cold, it’s so uncomfortable to be soaking wet!
Fortunately, Jinjiu was not wearing a complicated dress, otherwise it would be difficult for her to walk now!

"Oh, you don't understand."

Jin Ci: “…” I really don’t understand.

Who can understand why some people get caught in the rain for no reason!

Jinjiu knew that Jinci's head was full of question marks, enough to fill a sack, but she was not prepared to explain.

When people see that they are not struck by lightning, aren’t they allowed to cry?

Since it's crying, why not get wet in the rain myself?
Be a human being~
You can't take advantage of others and still act cute~
As if Jinjiu’s thoughts were heard, the rain outside got heavier.

If the previous rain at least had some breaks, the rain now is like a waterfall, rushing down straight away.

Jin Ci also heard the noise outside and thought about everything that had just happened. A bold idea suddenly came to her mind - could it be that Sister Ajiu had offended God?

"I'm going to change my clothes." Although she wanted to vent her anger on God, there was no need for her to force herself to wear wet clothes all the time.

"I'll join you, and I'll change into another set too."

Jin Ci hurriedly followed, and those previous unreliable thoughts disappeared instantly.

What's the point of provoking God? Sister Ajiu is so well behaved and she doesn't look like she would do anything bad, so why would she suddenly provoke God?

Is it just because I pointed my finger at the sky?
You shouldn’t be that stingy!

Jin Ci put the matter behind her and followed Jin Jiu to change her clothes.

Although she had water-repellent beads and her body did not get wet, the banquet was almost over. Although she was wearing a simple dress, it had a lot of decorations on it and was not as comfortable as ordinary clothes.

By the time the two of them had changed their clothes, the banquet was already coming to an end.

But when the two went downstairs, they found that the people downstairs had no intention of leaving.

"Aren't they leaving?"

Jinjiu didn't expect that the wealthy families in this world could be so troublesome. Are they preparing to have fun all night?

Jin Ci glanced at her and hesitated to speak: "Maybe it's because it's raining too hard outside."

Jin Jiu: “…” It’s rare to feel guilty.

If it was just a normal heavy rain, these people would have been able to escape. However, in order to vent his anger, God turned the rain into a waterfall. Who would be willing to drive towards a waterfall in the middle of the night?
