Clenching her teeth furiously, Lin Zaozao quickly put her palms together and silently chanted a spell.
"Spirits of heaven and earth, the Supre Elder Lord, the Jade Emperor, Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Sun Wukong - could one of you please send a bolt of lightning to strike down this bastard man?!" Lin Zaozao's voice had just fallen when, with the system's cheating, everyone saw a lone black cloud suddenly appear in the previously clear blue sky.
Next, a blinding flash of lightning directly from the cloud struck Zhao Yingi's husband. It shocked him until he foad at the mouth, hair standing on end, body convulsing as he fell to the ground, unable to move.
With the hated man's collapse, the black cloud drifted away rapidly before everyone's eyes, as if making an escape.
Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Lin Zaozao, speechless, couldn't help but want to roar angrily to the heavens in her heart.
Stupid system. Its actions were clearly like putting on a 5D movie show for everyone present. Waiting until they were dumbstruck watching the movie before zapping them with a stun gun.
Although the system's thods were pretty slick, it had directly helped her for real. But thinking that she had gained another ten catties (13 lbs) of fat, Lin Zaozao still could not feel happy at all.
Damn, how could she be so unlucky?!
She just wanted to buy a house, but not only did she have to add money, she had to add ten more catties of fat to her body too.
Thinking of this, Lin Zaozao was so angry she almost cried.
In this dead silence, the first to react was Ye Yi. He quickly went to Lin Zaozao's side and gestured at Zhao Yingi's motionless husband lying on the ground.
This ti, without Murong Hai's interpretation, Lin Zaozao understood Ye Yi's aning very clearly.
"Ye Yi, you don't have to envy . Hitting soone with lightning is no big deal to !" Lin Zaozao said bitterly.
Having said that, Lin Zaozao squeezed her stomach, which was swiftly ballooning outward.
She wanted to cry.
Having rapidly gained ten catties of fat, her stomach was almost bursting out of her clothes. Damn, she had been helping people transfer illnesses every day to shed poison and weight from her body.
But over the past few days, she had lost three catties and gained ten.
Wasn't this just losing weight and getting fatter from it?!!
Thinking of herself soon becoming an obese ball barely able to waddle around, Lin Zaozao threw her arms around Ye Yi before the crowd and wailed loudly,
"Ye Yi! I've gotten ten more catties of fat! I'm now as round as a ball and can hardly walk. If I get any fatter I'll have to get carried everywhere!"
Lin Zaozao's cries instantly shocked everyone back to their senses. The villagers who had been standing outside the fence and the old village chief now looked at Lin Zaozao as if gazing upon an immortal.
At this mont, they envisioned her plump little body glowing with holy light.
She was a living deity, not so clay idol sitting motionless in a temple!
Especially Zhao Yingi - coming to her senses, she raced over to her husband's side.
She first pushed him and felt that he was paralyzed. Then she pulled the hairpin from her head and stabbed it directly into her husband's neck.
As blood sprayed, stopping her loud wails, Lin Zaozao shrank back slightly in shock into Ye Yi's embrace.
Heavens! Had Zhao Yingi gone insane? How could she be so vicious to her own husband?!
That was the man she had spent over ten years with. Yet she showed no rcy in taking his life.
What Zhao Yingi did frightened all the onlookers. Though rather promiscuous, Zhao Yingi wasn't an utterly wicked person!
Most importantly, despite having married so many husbands, she normally got along fine with her chief spouse.
Yet now, brazenly in public, she could steel her heart and use a hairpin to directly murder her husband.
Just when everyone was reeling in shock, Murong Hai, who had been standing by Lin Zaozao's side, walked over to Zhao Yingi's husband's body.
Murong Hai felt the man's face for a mont, and a complete human skin mask appeared in his hand.
Seeing the human skin mask in Murong Hai's grasp, everyone swiftly glanced down at the dead man on the ground.
It was a very unfamiliar face - definitely not Zhao Yingi's husband at all, nor a villager from this place.
Just when everyone was astonished over what on earth was going on, Zhao Yingi quickly ran to Lin Zaozao's feet and kneeled on the ground, kowtowing to her ceaselessly.
"Little Flower Lin, Great Immortal Lin, I beg you, please hurry and save my husbands! If you don't rescue them soon, they will all die!"
Hearing Zhao Yingi's pleading cries, Lin Zaozao couldn't help peeking out from behind Ye Yi.
"Zhao Yingi, weren't your husbands perfectly fine just yesterday? What's happened to them today? Also, what's the story with this man?"
"Little Flower Lin, when I went back just now, I saw this beast break into my ho. He didn't say a word, just knocked out all my husbands.
This beast also poisoned my husbands and has now thrown them all into the cellar.
Little Flower Lin, since you could summon the thunder to knock out this beast, you must be a true Great Immortal!
Little Flower Lin, please, I beg you to hurry and save them! If you don't rescue them soon, they really won't make it!"
Hearing Zhao Yingi's pleading cries, Lin Zaozao couldn't help taking a step back instinctively.
This morning, in order to treat Zhao Yingi's infertility, now she had gotten ten catties fatter as a result.
If she were to now go save Zhao Yingi's husbands, Zhao Yingi might thank her even if she managed to rescue them.
But what if she failed to save them and Zhao Yingi bit back at her again? What would she do then?!
Seeing the hesitation in Lin Zaozao's eyes, Zhao Yingi knelt on the ground and heavily kowtowed to the old village chief several tis.
"Village chief, I was falsely accusing Little Flower Lin earlier. She did say that she had cured my illness and asked to buy my old house from at the market price - she wasn't trying to cheat out of my property.
Village chief, I know I was wrong. Please persuade Little Flower Lin to save my husbands! It's over a dozen lives at stake! I beg you to put in a good word and ask her to save them.
As long as she can rescue my husbands, afterwards, she can punish however she sees fit. Village chief, please help beg Little Flower Lin for !"
Seeing Zhao Yingi nearly knocking her own head bloody, the old village chief glanced at the silent Lin Zaozao and turned back.
He knew that Zhao Yingi had been clearly in the wrong regarding the earlier incident. But apparently she had also been forced by circumstances beyond her control.
Moreover, with over ten lives at stake, he could not remain silent.
"Little Flower, I know Zhao Yingi did wrong just now. However, since she realizes her mistake, as village chief I hope you can forgive her this once and save her husbands.
As compensation, I will ensure that she sells her family's old house to you for half the market price."
Having said this, the old village chief helped the ceaselessly kowtowing Zhao Yingi to her feet, "Zhao Yingi, to compensate Little Flower Lin, are you willing to sell your old house to her for ten taels of gold?"
"Village chief, I'm willing, I'm willing! I'd even be willing to just give it to her!"
After speaking, Zhao Yingi looked hopefully back at Lin Zaozao, wishing for her to open her mouth and save her dozen-odd husbands.
eting Zhao Yingi's hopeful gaze, Lin Zaozao heaved a heavy sigh.
Damn, how could she possibly soften her heart!
She had only just managed to free herself from a plight before getting punished by the System, gaining ten catties of fat.
Ten catties of fat could fill up an entire large basin!
How long would it take for her to lose the extra flesh that had grown on her body?!
But a human life was at stake here, especially so many lives - over ten! She had no choice but to save them! Moreover, she still had to continue living in this village for the future. She couldn't offend the village chief.
Thinking so, Lin Zaozao walked up to the old village chief and helped the kneeling Zhao Yingi to her feet.
"Zhao Yingi, I promise I'll save your husband and his n," said Murong Hai.
"Thank you, thank you," Zhao Yingi lowered her head in sha and said, "I'm sorry about earlier, I was forced by circumstances."
"But Zhao Yingi, let make this clear first. I'm just a minor immortal, I may not be able to save your husband and his n. If I fail later, don't resent or retaliate against afterwards."
"I won't, I won't," Zhao Yingi shook her head repeatedly.
"Alright, let's not waste anymore ti. Let's go save your husband and his n quickly! If we don't hurry, by the ti they die, I won't have the ability to snatch people back from the King of Hell."
"Okay, okay, let's go quickly then."
After she finished speaking, Zhao Yingi pulled Lin Zaozao towards her own courtyard. But before she could even take a few steps, she was stopped by Lin Zaozao.
Lin Zaozao clutched her chest, suddenly gaining ten jin of fat on her body, making it even difficult for her to breathe, let alone run.
Good heavens! Smoking is harmful to health, and excessive obesity can lead to premature death.
As it is, she had now beco a ball. She couldn't even walk, she had to roll to move.
Seeing Lin Zaozao's face turning purple from breathing difficulties, and her suddenly fat belly, Murong Hai forcefully suppressed the shock in his eyes. He walked to Lin Zaozao's side and scooped her up princess-style into his arms.
Being suddenly picked up, Lin Zaozao looked at Murong Hai's cold handso profile in surprise and said, "Murong Hai, your leg is injured, I'm so heavy, it'll aggravate your leg wound. Quickly put down!"
"Little fatty, keep quiet. I've carried guys heavier than you, not to ntion a small fat ball like you. Rest for now, so you'll have the strength to save people later." After speaking, Murong Hai carried Lin Zaozao towards Zhao Yingi's new courtyard. Ye Yi, Ji Fanxian and the others also followed along.
Even Lin Wuwu and Lin Wanwan, whose wounds had just healed, exchanged a look and followed behind Murong Hai.
And so, a large group of villagers headed magnificently towards Zhao Yingi's courtyard.
