Transmigration: From Dragon Princess To Pampered Granddaughter
Chapter 496 - 497: Slay Them All

Chapter 496: Chapter 497: Slay Them All

With that, he shoved Chen Jianjun, who stood in the front.

The people of Sanqiao Commune immediately retaliated: "Go on, hit us if you dare!"

Both sides started pushing each other, instantly escalating the tension, as if ready to fight at any moment.

Helian Qiao, standing behind them, was fuming at the sight of her grandfather and father getting pushed. She quickly asked, "Nanny, can I just kill all these bad people?"

They outnumbered us. If it comes to a physical fight, her grandfather and father would surely be at a disadvantage.

It would be simpler and quicker to just kill them all!

Hearing this, Ma Xiulian quickly tried to pacify her, "Guibao, we can’t do that, we must only harm them if our lives are in immediate danger!"

Guibao is the Little Divine Dragon, she can’t simply go around killing.

She can’t let these barbaric people harm her sweet Guibao.

The Little Princess puffed her cheeks in frustration.

They cannot fight nor kill!

Humans are really troublesome!

Seeing her unhappy, Ma Xiulian thought for a moment and pointed at a large apricot tree by the side, "Guibao, you can strike that tree!"

People can’t be harmed, but trees can!

"Okay!"

Helian Qiao’s chubby little face lit up instantly, her voice cheerfully vibrant.

She then waved her hand, and lightning bolt came down from the sky, directly splitting the apricot tree in two, with a loud ’bang’.

The tree split into two halves and crashed onto the ground.

"Ah!!!"

Everyone gasped in surprise, staring wide-eyed at the charred tree, bewildered as to why the tree was suddenly struck by lightning even though the weather was clear!

"Woof woof!"

Dabai gleefully started howling. When the young mistress is angry, you humans are done for!

Seizing the opportunity, Ma Xiulian announced: "Look! What you’re doing is immoral - selling people as commodities! The heavens are punishing you, see?!"

Hearing this, the villagers’ faces immediately turned pale as they began to whisper among themselves.

"What happened?! This apricot tree has been alive for decades, why was it struck by lightning today?!"

"Exactly! It wasn’t even raining or stormy, this can’t be a mere coincidence, can it?"

"Could it really be the wrath of the heavens, striking lightning as a warning?"

...

The more ignorant and superstitious they were, the more fearful and hesitant the villagers became, glancing up at the sky with trepidation.

Although the Chen family was also astonished, avoiding conflict would be best.

Seeing this, Old Mrs. Zhang quickly shouted: "She’s lying! It’s just a coincidence! We’ve sold numerous girls before and nothing like this has ever happened!"

She was obviously scared that the people would get cold feet and refuse to help them.

Bad luck indeed, why did it have to happen specifically when they were purchasing a girl!

The villagers thought about it, and reasoned that what Old Mrs. Zhang said was true. Besides, they had been making offerings to the Mountain God with their finest food and liquor every year!

The Mountain God would surely protect them, and would never let their family line end without descendants.

Thinking this, they regained their confidence and confronted Ma Xiulian and her group once again.

Old Mrs. Zhang added fuel to the fire by pointing at Ma Xiulian and cursing, "You old hag, you’ve no respect for the gods! Speaking like that will get you punished by the heavens. Leave our village to avoid bringing us misfortune!"

"Leave! Get out of the village!"

All the villagers raised their weapons, shouting for them to leave.

Their eyes were fierce, and their aura was more intimidating than before.
