My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost

Chapter 104 Whose thunder struck me?

At this time, Zhao Jinfang returned to the palace in a daze. He had not had a good life in the past three years. In the middle of the night, he would dream of Zhao Jinghua kneeling beside his bed, with his eyes closed and blood constantly pouring out of his mouth. At this time, he would want to help Zhao Jinghua up in his dreams, but the next moment, Zhao Jinghua in the dream would suddenly open his eyes and look directly at him with a pair of red pupils, with blood and tears flowing from his eyes, and then say in a sad tone "I regret it". Every time this happened, Zhao Jinfang would wake up suddenly, and the golden elixir of Zhao Jinghua in his hand would emit a dazzling golden light.

So much so that three years ago, when Zhao Jinfang dreamed of Zhao Jinghua for the first time and saw Zhao Jingjia, who looked very similar to Zhao Jinghua, at the morning court, he was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. The next moment, his eyes went dark and he fainted. At that time, the court was in chaos and everyone shouted "Your Majesty". Zhao Jingjia also guessed what was going on and did not dare to step forward. He quickly pushed Zhao Jingcheng forward and asked him to help Lord Chen carry Zhao Jinfang back to Taiming Hall.

After that day, no one knew what Zhao Jinfang and Zhao Jingjia and his son talked about in Taiming Palace. All they knew was that Zhao Jingjia was named the crown prince after that day, and Zhao Jinfang fell ill and never went to Taichu Palace again.

Zhao Jingjia was inexplicably named King Jing, and even Zhao Jinfang's attitude towards him changed greatly. He often asked about his well-being, told him to put on more clothes when it was cold, and sent countless rare treasures to King Jing's mansion. In the second year, he was even allowed to live in a side hall of Taiming Palace. However, Zhao Jingjia often felt that Zhao Jinfang seemed to be looking at his deceased eldest brother through him, and wanted to make up for his debt to his eldest brother through himself.

Therefore, when he moved into the side hall of Taiming Palace, Zhao Jingjia also followed Zhao Jinfang's wish and dyed his eyebrows black. However, his voice was incompatible with Zhao Jinghua's. Zhao Jinghua's voice was gentle and low. Even in the midnight when it was so quiet that it made people shiver, the low voice could give people a sense of security that made people calm down immediately. However, Zhao Jingjia's voice was extremely cold, as if to keep others away from him. Therefore, Zhao Jingjia often did not speak when Zhao Jinfang had a nightmare. Instead, he nodded slightly no matter what Zhao Jinfang said, and served tea and water until Zhao Jinfang fell asleep again.

However, the reason why he silently endured all this was not because he was looking forward to Zhao Jinfang's belated fatherly love, but because he hoped that Zhao Jinfang would get rid of the nightmare as soon as possible, and he would take his mother away from this place of trouble.

Outside the Taiming Palace, Zhao Jingjia watched Zhao Jinfang get off the carriage with a dejected look on his face. He sighed and walked forward to help Zhao Jinfang walk into the Taiming Palace. "Father, why are you back so early? How is my seventh brother?"

Zhao Jinfang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You say it's a heart disease... Just now when I sat in the carriage, I realized that my life has been a mistake!" Zhao Jingjia frowned slightly when he heard this, and helped Zhao Jinfang sit on the soft couch, lowered his head and said nothing.

Zhao Jinfang sighed and turned his head to look at Zhao Jingjia. "When I saw that your eldest brother was not close to me when he was a child, I should have understood that I should spend more time with you instead of proving to the world how powerful I am on the battlefield... Your eldest brother was not extremely calm when he was a child. In the second month of his expedition with me, he passed by a village. He looked at the children playing with envy and expectation in his eyes, but when he looked down at himself, there was only loss in his eyes. From then on, he changed. The innocence of a child gradually disappeared in his eyes, and he looked at the calmness of seeing through people's hearts. As he passed the age of twenty, even I would unconsciously feel afraid of him."

At the same time, there was a loud bang outside the bamboo house. A thunder suddenly fell. Wan Sutong and Feng Ming each held a rabbit and ran out of the bamboo house in a hurry.

Although his master was unharmed, his entire body was blackened by the lightning. When he opened his mouth, a mouthful of black smoke spit out from his small white teeth. "Whose lightning struck me?"

The six people present instantly burst into laughter, “Pfft! Hahahahaha!”

0533 was already laughing so hard that he was out of breath, but he started scanning very professionally. But the next moment he stopped laughing and said, "It's yours!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the laughter stopped abruptly, and this time it was Gu Ming's turn to laugh out loud, "Hahahahaha! That's great! I'm going to ascend! Hahahaha, I'm finally going to get rid of you two fools!" As soon as he finished speaking, a lightning tribulation fell again. Gu Ming quickly took out his natal sword to resist. He was now all black and holding a long sword that was shining with cold light in his hand, looking very funny.

The brother and sister's suppressed laughter burst out again. "Hahahahahahaha" Gu Ming coughed awkwardly, then waved his sleeves and returned to his usual meticulous appearance.

Not long after the third thunderbolt fell, the brother and sister realized the seriousness of the situation. They heard the dull thunder getting louder and louder, countless purple lightning flashed across the sky, and the next moment a thunderbolt like a pillar of heaven was about to fall.

Wan Sutong quickly transformed all the defensive talismans and gave half to Feng Ming. Then the brother and sister came to Gu Ming's front and back regardless of their own danger and began to quickly stick them on Gu Ming. 0533 and 0610 provided talismans to their hosts, while Qingtuan and Maomao flew into the air to observe the speed of the thunder tribulation.

"Hurry up! The master can handle it!" Gu Ming said anxiously, turning his head to look at the brother and sister. "Hurry up! It's too late!"

At this moment, the voices of the two spirit pets came at the same time, "Master! Run!" Seeing that there were more than a hundred talismans on Gu Ming's body, Wan Sutong and Feng Ming looked at each other and then quickly dodged. The thunder tribulation also came at this time and suddenly fell. The whole sky thunder wrapped Gu Ming in the middle.

Just as everyone was anxiously watching the thunder, Gu Ming's extremely excited voice was heard from the thunder, "Hey! What kind of talisman did you stick on my master? He's totally unharmed!" As soon as he finished speaking, the thunder dissipated.

However, most of the talismans on Gu Ming's body had disappeared. The pupils of the brother and sister shrank suddenly. They didn't expect that the lethality of this thunderbolt was so great! Feng Ming waved his hands again and again, "No! Sister, you come, I have no money! Five hundred taels of silver are gone! I have earned it for six years! Just gone!"

Gu Ming was very surprised after hearing this and asked, "The talisman just now cost five hundred taels?"

Wan Sutong waved her hands repeatedly and shouted, "Just rest assured and survive! Don't worry! We are talking about other things!" Then she looked at Feng Ming in disbelief, "You only changed more than fifty cards! And they are gone!"

Feng Ming quickly showed Wan Sutong his points panel, "It's really gone! Have you forgotten that I earn one point for one hundred coins!"

Wan Sutong frowned and kept observing the movement of the thunder tribulation. "System, I remember there are seventy-four thunder tribulations, right?"

0533 nodded and said, "Host, don't worry, not every thunder tribulation is so strong. This thunder tribulation is telling the ascenders in the True God Realm that the thunder tribulation is about to begin." As soon as he finished speaking, the fourth thunder tribulation fell. As 0533 said, it was much smaller than the third thunder. Gu Ming was watching the excitement at this time, so three talismans turned into ashes.

The brother and sister breathed a sigh of relief, and then a scene that shocked Feng Ming appeared. Wan Sutong said arrogantly, "System, copy a thousand defensive talismans first."
