Chapter 18 The Useless Man Reaps the Consequences
Fan Wujiu was right; Heaven has eyes.

Since Heaven intends to punish Baili Lin, then this divine punishment is bound to fall upon her.

So, just as the lightning was about to strike the person who was being held in front of Baili Lin, it suddenly made a sharp turn and went around to the back.

It landed precisely on Baili Lin.

"what……"

One bolt of purple lightning after another struck Baili Lin, the lightning almost engulfing her entire figure.

After letting out her first painful howl, Baili Lin fell silent.

Her lackeys were already paralyzed with fear on the ground, some even wetting themselves in terror.

Just as the first bolt of lightning struck Baili Lin, Baili Lin's father, Baili Tang, who was in the Baili family in the capital city, was having a meeting with his family to discuss the matter of requesting leave from the Fengdu Bureau. Suddenly, he sensed something and his expression changed drastically.

"Oh no, something's happened to Lin'er."

He then announced the meeting was adjourned and quickly flew away.

……

After the nine bolts of lightning passed, the lightning dissipated.

The forest seemed to have fallen silent again, though the air was filled with the smell of something charred.

As for Baili Lin, she lay on the ground, her body charred, motionless.

If you don't look closely, you can't even tell that it's a person.

At this moment, the seal that had been protecting Xu Qingling had returned to her.

She frowned slightly. Could Baili Lin be dead?

Xu Qingling was just a little curious, but not afraid that Baili Lin was dead. After all, Baili Lin had ambushed her first and was now being punished by lightning.

If the lightning bolt that Baili Lin used to ambush her had been aimed at someone else or a ghost instead, that person or ghost might be dead.

This shows just how ruthless Baili Lin is.

Now, Baili Lin is in this situation because she brought it upon herself.

Xu Qingling, who has no emotions or desires, would definitely not agree.

At this moment, a lackey of Baili Lin crawled over with difficulty and checked on her. When he found that Baili Lin still had a faint breath, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"He's still breathing, he's still breathing."

The other lackeys also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, they came out with Baili Lin, and as the name suggests, they were there to protect her.

If Baili Lin dies, they will definitely incur the wrath of the Baili family, and their fate will certainly not be good.

Fan Wujiu raised an eyebrow slightly; he was still angry.

It seems he possesses some kind of protective magic treasure; otherwise, he would have been dead long ago under those nine bolts of heavenly lightning.

However, even if he is still alive, he is probably ruined, in every sense of the word: ruined appearance, ruined body, ruined meridians!
He'll be a useless person from now on!

Suddenly, Fan Wujiu sensed that many auras were heading towards them.

Xu Qingling also noticed it.

She didn't intend to stay any longer, so she used teleportation and disappeared in a few breaths.

"Little girl, you're pretty quick to run away." Fan Wujiu watched Xu Qingling's disappearing figure with a faint smile on his lips.

With his destined wife gone, and having completed his mission today, Fan Wujiu naturally had no intention of staying any longer and soon disappeared as well.

After the two left.

The first to arrive in the mountains and forests were naturally the ghosts from the ghost market.

Most of these ghosts linger in the underworld because of their obsessions, so the director of the Fengdu Leave Office is the person they most want to see.

After all, that person is the one who decides whether they can ask for leave to return to the human world to fulfill their wishes. Therefore, in today's ghost market, the most talked-about person is the director of the Fengdu Leave Office.

All they knew was that the director was a woman with a powerful background; they knew nothing else.

They were all speculating about the director's age, appearance, and preferences.

Of course, it would be best if they could run into the director and see him in person.

Unexpectedly, the director actually showed up.

The presence of that seal was enough to represent the Director's identity, after all, it was a symbol of the identity of every god of the underworld.

Unexpectedly, the seal was created to protect the director, and even more surprisingly, someone dared to launch a sneak attack on him.

Therefore, they suffered divine punishment.

However, by the time they arrived, the director they had been longing for was nowhere to be found.

All that remained were the almost charred body of Baililin and her lackeys.

At this moment, they also realized that Baili Lin and her lackeys were all human, and that they had come to the Ghost Market in disguise.

"These ignorant humans actually dared to ambush the Director; they're truly courting death."

"Humans dare to enter the ghost market? Does that mean we ghosts are still alive?"

The ghosts secretly mocked Baili Lin and the others, and even considered whether to deliver the final blow to help the Chief vent his anger.

But at that moment, Bailitang arrived.

Seeing the densely packed ghosts, the almost charred body of Baili Lin, and the traces of heavenly lightning still remaining in this world.

Bailitang knew that things were not simple.

Without asking any further questions, he immediately gave Baili Lin a life-saving pill and then quickly left with her and the others.

If he didn't leave soon, he feared he would be surrounded by ghosts.

Although he was quite skilled, he was no match for so many ghosts; he could only be swallowed up.

As for what happened later, when he returned to the Baili family and heard that Baili Lin had been punished by heaven for failing to ambush the director of the Fengdu Leave Office, he was furious but didn't dare to utter a single word.

……

A few days later, Sikong Yan learned about Baili Lin's situation from his friend Sang Chu.

Although the Baili family ordered a cover-up, the matter was later discovered by many people and ghosts who came upon hearing the news, and because it involved the director of the Fengdu Leave Office and the Heavenly Punishment Lightning.

"This Baili Lin was so arrogant before, relying on being a direct descendant of the Baili family, she didn't put anyone in her eyes. Now she's finally met her match, she deserves to suffer."

"Her own talent in metaphysics is also mediocre. The truly powerful heir of the Baili family is her older sister, Baili Shuang."

Sang Chu was also from a small family specializing in metaphysics, and like Sikong Yan, he had been bullied by Baili Lin before.

So when I heard about Baili Lin's fate, I couldn't help but feel relieved. "I heard that Baili Lin will be a cripple from now on. Her tendons and veins are all broken, her face is disfigured, and she can only lie in bed for the rest of her life."

"I never expected Baili Lin to end up like this," Sikong Yan remarked. "By the way, when you mentioned the Ghost Market, did the head of the Fengdu Leave Office show up?"

"That's right, Baili Lin was punished by heaven because she tried to ambush that director."

"So that director was in the Ghost Market that day? I didn't even run into him."

"No one else encountered him either. By the time they arrived, the director had already left, so no one and no one knew what he looked like."

"Ah."

"By the way, how is your aunt?"

"My mother is much better now, and her health is gradually recovering."
