C2 In My Dantian There Is a Nuclear Power Station
Lee Aotian was completely baffled.
Wasn't Jiang Yurou here to see him? So why was she calling Lee Yifan her husband?
Lee Yifan was just as bewildered, and so was the entire Lee family.
As they stood there, dumbfounded, a terrifying aura emanated from Jiang Yurou, "Who dared to harm my husband? Show yourself and accept your fate, or I will raze the Lee family to the ground."
A fierce killing intent exploded, sending a chill through the Lee family as if they had plunged into an icy abyss.
"Miss Jiang, could there be some misunderstanding?" Lee Aotian ventured.
Smack!
Jiang Yurou's hand struck Lee Aotian's face. "Do you really think I can't recognize my own husband?"
"I... I..."
"You're going to pay with your life!"
Jiang Yurou's murderous aura was sky-high, her intense fury freezing Lee Aotian's blood, as if he were trapped in that same icy abyss.
At that moment, he felt death breathing down his neck.
Lee Aotian didn't want to die, but he was powerless to stop Jiang Yurou, and it seemed no one in the Lee family could.
Suddenly, Lee Aotian caught sight of Lee Yifan and blurted out, "Lee Yifan, even if you're weaker than me, isn't it embarrassing to have a woman fight your battles?"
Smack!
Lee Yifan returned the favor with a slap to Lee Aotian's face, scoffing, "You think I'm as shameless as you?"
"Wife, make him kneel."
"With pleasure!"
With a wave of her hand, Jiang Yurou forced Lee Aotian to his knees.
Lee Yifan looked down at him and declared, "Today, my wife will spare you, but make no mistake, one day I will come for you myself."
"Wife, we're leaving."
With those final words, Lee Yifan confidently strode away from the Lee family.
...
In the grand hall of the Jiang family.
The entire Jiang family was assembled, the air heavy with solemnity.
"Niece, you are a jewel of the heavens. How could you possibly marry such a man?"
"Exactly. Lee Yifan is nothing but a wastrel, utterly unworthy of you."
"He doesn't hold a candle to even a single strand of Sister Yurou's hair."
Everyone in the Jiang family was against Jiang Yurou and Lee Yifan being together.
With an impassive face, Jiang Yurou waited for the others to finish speaking before she finally said, "In the Falling Dawn Forest, I was gravely injured. It was Lee Yifan who saved me and bestowed upon me his own fortune. From that moment, he became my man. He was in the past, he is now, and he will be in the future."
"If anyone objects, I will take him and leave the Jiang family this instant."
"Does anyone else object?"
After Jiang Yurou's words, everyone fell silent.
The Jiang family was once an insignificant clan with little renown. Without Jiang Yurou's unexpected return, their current status would have been unattainable.
Should Jiang Yurou depart, the Jiang family would struggle to maintain their current standing, much less continue to thrive.
"It's terrible, Lee Yifan has climbed onto the roof; it looks like he might jump!"
Suddenly, someone burst into the room.
No sooner had he spoken than Jiang Yurou dashed out, with the Jiang family members quickly on her heels.
They saw Lee Yifan standing atop the highest building of the Jiang residence, an iron spear beside him, his hand gripping it tightly.
Above, ominous clouds loomed over the city, with the wind screaming through the air.
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled within the clouds, as bolts of electricity danced among them.
Crack!
Out of nowhere, a thunderbolt exploded, sending a bolt of lightning crashing down, brightening the gloomy world.
The storm intensified, the wind and thunder giving way to a downpour.
"Husband, please come down quickly. I will go to the Falling Dawn Forest to seek the Divine Fruit of Destiny. With it, your dantian can be healed. Please, don't do anything rash," Jiang Yurou called out to Lee Yifan.
Lee Yifan was about to respond when a thick bolt of lightning struck the iron spear he was holding, coursing into his body and making him shudder.
Jiang Yurou tried to rush to Lee Yifan's aid but was held back by the Jiang family members.
Lee Yifan stood, a conduit for the storm, as lightning repeatedly struck his spear and surged into him, until smoke began to rise from his body.
As the storm clouds cleared and the sky brightened, Lee Yifan emerged, looking as though he had been charred to a crisp. To the astonishment of all, Lee Yifan had survived. Jiang Yurou brought him home, ensuring he was out of danger, and instructed her maid, "Look after him well. I'm heading to the Falling Dawn Forest to seek the Divine Fruit of Destiny to aid in rebuilding his dantian."
Three days later, Yifan opened his eyes and immediately examined his body. A radiant smile spread across his face; the nuclear power station within his dantian had indeed been activated. But how to harness its power? Could he simply use his cultivation technique as he had before? Yifan attempted to activate the technique, and to his amazement, an electric current surged through his meridians.
Incredibly, it worked! He was using the nuclear power station's electricity in place of his true essence. However, Yifan's expression suddenly turned grave. The electric current was overpowering; despite his sturdy meridians, they were being damaged. Intense pain followed the current's path.
Excruciating pain washed over him like a relentless tide. Yifan gritted his teeth against the agony, allowing the current to course through his meridians. After a complete cycle, the pain began to fade, and after many more cycles, it vanished entirely.
Yifan spread his palm, and with a mere thought, sparks danced across his fingertips. His smile was dazzling. "My dantian may be shattered, but with this nuclear power station, who would dare to challenge me? Lee Aotian, Old Devil Hua, prepare yourselves. And to the Lee and Hua families, think not of escape."
A cold gleam shone in Yifan's eyes. The Lee family and the Hua family had conspired against him. Were it not for Yurou's intervention, he might have perished. Such a grievance of life and death demanded retribution. It was time to test the might of the nuclear power station.
With a loud bang, Yifan had barely reached the door when it was violently kicked open. A young man flanked by a dozen others stood at the threshold.
They approached with a menacing air, clearly harboring hostile intentions.
Lee Yifan recognized the leader as Jiang Kui from the Jiang family.
"Have you come for me?" Lee Yifan inquired, his tone detached.
"Despite being struck by lightning so many times, you're still not dead. You must lead a charmed life," Jiang Kui remarked icily.
A flicker of rage passed through Lee Yifan's eyes, but he quickly composed himself. Despite the insult from Jiang Kui, he was still a relative of Jiang Yurou, and out of respect for his wife, he restrained himself.
"I suggest you leave..."
"Oh, is that a threat?"
Jiang Kui cut off Lee Yifan, "You're nothing but a cripple whose dantian is destroyed. Without the support of the Jiang family's sister, you'd have been dead hundreds of times over. Yet you have the audacity to raise your voice in my presence? It seems you're growing weary of living."
Jiang Kui's expression hardened as he gave Lee Yifan a dismissive look. "Do you know why I'm here?"
"Trying to force me out?"
Jiang Kui was taken aback, not expecting Lee Yifan to guess his intentions, which bruised his ego. Angrily and feeling humiliated, he snapped, "Since you know, get out of my sister's bedroom this instant, or it'll be the end of you."
"Furthermore, you need to leave the Jiang family. A piece of garbage like you doesn't deserve my sister."
As Lee Yifan's hands balled into fists, Jiang Kui taunted, "What's the matter, got angry? Thinking about hitting me?"
"Go on, try it!"
Smack!
Lee Yifan's hand connected with Jiang Kui's face, leaving five vivid finger marks.
Jiang Kui's eyes blazed with fury, "You dare to strike me? I'll make you pay!"
Jiang Kui threw a punch at Lee Yifan, who effortlessly caught it. Electricity surged through his palm.
In an instant, Jiang Kui began to convulse uncontrollably, then collapsed to the ground, motionless.
