Chapter 17 - Please, Call Me a Genius

"Fifth Sister, yum! Dish ish sho delicious! Yummy!" Yun Chujiu's mouth was stuffed full of food, and she was gobbling down everything on the table.
Yun Chuwu looked at Yun Chujiu in a daze. How many days had Young Jiu been deprived of food?
Could it be that the people working in the main kitchen were secretly abusing Young Jiu? However, that was not likely. No matter how much they despised Young Jiu, they would not dare abuse her openly!
By the time Yun Chuwu regained her senses, all the plates and bowls on the table were empty.
Yun Chujiu was salivating as she stared at the bowl of rice before Yun Chuwu.
"Fifth Sister, erm… since I've been crying so much today, I feel a bit hungrier than usual," Yun Chujiu said with a pitiful expression.
Yun Chuwu sighed, and she had no choice but to ask her maid to get more food from the main kitchen.
Yun Chujiu's tummy was finally full. She leaned against her chair in satisfaction and burped. She was feeling really happy because she had found the one good thing about transmigration at last. The food there was super tasty and 100% organic as well as preservative-free!
Yun Chujiu used to be a beggar when she was young, and she cared a lot about food and money. After she discovered how good the food there was and how she could eat to her heart's content, she was instantly no longer indignant and pissed about the fact that she had transmigrated.
Yun Chujiu continued to chat with Yun Chuwu for a while. She then walked back to her room in a leisurely manner as she rubbed her tummy.
The young maid, Chun Yu was waiting for Yun Chujiu to come back, and she looked as eager as a puppy expecting its master's return. When she saw that Yun Chujiu had escaped unscathed, she happily went up to serve her.
Butler Li was extremely efficient, and he had already sent someone to install a new door for Yun Chujiu.
Yun Chujiu took a comfortable long, hot bath and started to plan for the future as she lay in bed.
According to what she had heard from her newfound grandfather today, this body of hers was not devoid of a spirit root. However, her original persona had trouble guiding spiritual energy into her body. Why was that so?
In this time and space where the strong ruled, it would be troublesome for her to not be able to cultivate!
There was that problem with the Bai family too. If she was not able to cultivate, how was she going to protect the Yun family? She would probably even have trouble against that Scumbag Bai. She heard that the scumbag was already at the Fourth Level of Spirit Refinement Realm.
The more Yun Chujiu thought about it, the antsier she became. She decided to sit up with her legs crossed so that she could meditate. She then attempted to guide spiritual energy into her body according to the incantation stored in her original persona's memory.
Soon, Yun Chujiu perceived that five light balls were floating around her. They were supposedly light balls that represented the five main elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
"Come, babies. Come to mommy!" Yun Chujiu muttered non-stop.
As expected, the five tiny balls of light fought to go nearer to Yun Chujiu! Yun Chujiu was delighted! It seemed that her original persona was merely an idiot who did not know how to cultivate! From now on, she would no longer be known as a piece of trash! Instead, she would ask people to call her a genius! Hahaha!
Just as Yun Chujiu was feeling pleased with herself and thinking about how bright her future was, the five tiny light balls suddenly escaped and floated away, scattering like frightened sheep.
Reality shattered Yun Chujiu's beautiful fantasies mercilessly!
Yun Chujiu gritted her teeth. She refused to accept it as the truth and decided to try again.
Yun Chujiu began to cultivate according to the incantation again. Just like before, the five tiny balls of light approached her. Unfortunately, in the end, all her hard work was in vain again. The five balls of light refused to enter Yun Chujiu's body no matter what.
Yun Chujiu was a very determined and persistent person. Even though she failed time and time again, she gritted her teeth and kept trying.
After failing for almost a hundred times, Yun Chujiu noticed that a small purple light ball was slowly taking the lead among the light balls and gradually entering her body.
Purple? Yun Chujiu was dumbfounded.
Gold represented metal, green represented wood, white represented water, red represented fire, and yellow represented earth. Never in her life had she ever heard of a purple element.
