Chapter 46 - So, You’re the Culprit

Yun Chujiu was someone who treasured her life greatly. When she heard Di Beiming say those words, she immediately shouted in surprise and fear. "Huh? Is there such a saying?! Who should I find to guide me? The people in Ye City don't even know about lightning spirit roots."
"Only the main four sects in the Qingxuan Continent have cultivation techniques for lightning spiritual roots. But, it's not easy to become one of their disciples, especially for someone stupid like you," Di Beiming said scornfully.
Yun Chujiu was so angry that she glared at him, and she used more strength in her hands.
"Yes, not bad. This is just nice. You used too little strength just now!" Di Beiming said in satisfaction.
Yun Chujiu was so mad that she twitched, and she had a strong urge to kick Di Beiming. However, she put up with it in order to protect her own life.
"In truth, I can guide you a little, but I'm busy…"
Yun Chujiu was a smart girl, and she immediately guessed what Di Beiming was trying to say.
"Prince Charming, I just know that you're capable of doing anything you want. I might be a little slow in the head, but I'm hardworking! Like they say, 'hard work can compensate for a lack of natural talent.' If you can guide me, I'm willing to serve you faithfully!"
When Yun Chujiu saw that Di Beiming was not talking, she decided to put in more effort and said, "Prince Charming, think about it, if you train me well, I can strike down those people whom you hate with lightning. It'll be really cool!"
Di Beiming continued to remain silent.
"Prince Charming, once I complete my cultivation, I can bring forth lightning for your entertainment at night, and it'll be way classier than fireworks!"
Di Beiming felt his lips twitch. 'This dark-skinned thing sure has a unique thought process. Could it be because of the lightning spirit root?'
"Prince Charming, please just give me a straight answer. If you're not willing to teach me, I will go and beg the main four sects until they let me in!" Yun Chujiu became a little anxious when she saw that Di Beiming was still not willing to express his stance on the matter.
"Hmph! Dark-skinned thing, how dare you?! Do you actually think that I can't compare to those lousy people?" Di Beiming scowled.
'Pretty boy, you're completely off your rockers!
'You didn't show give me an answer even after I said so many nice words, and now, you're blaming me?!'
Yun Chujiu may have been fuming, but she showed surprise and delight on her face. "Prince Charming, are you saying that you'll be guiding me?"
Di Beiming hummed faintly. "Continue massaging me!"
Yun Chujiu had to tragically massage him for another hour before Di Beiming contemptuously said, "Stop! Your skills are terrible, and my entire body feels horrible."
Yun Chujiu no longer had the strength to make a sarcastic quip. All her complaints were gathered into just one single sentence. 'Pretty Boy, just you wait!'
Di Beiming's conscience may have felt a little guilty because he finally mentioned the main topic. "Tell me how you absorbed the lightning element, and I want details."
Yun Chujiu became excited, and she told him the general gist of her cultivation process.
Di Beiming was shocked. While those with lightning spiritual roots could absorb the power of lightning, it was only limited to wandering lightning elements. He had never heard of anyone who could directly absorb lightning into their bodies like the dark-skinned thing.
'The power of lightning is incredibly wild. If someone absorbs too much of it, the best case would be that their Dantian region is destroyed, and the worst case is that they won't even be able to protect their own lives. Judging from what this dark-skinned thing said, she's absorbed four lightning bolts? How is that possible?!'
While Di Beiming was feeling very puzzled, Yun Chujiu continued and said, "Prince Charming, there is still another interesting situation. I found out that purple celestial lightning bolts chase after me, but the silver ones don't. Why is that?"
Di Beiming suddenly remembered the moment he got struck by the purple celestial lightning in the monster forest. 'So, this dark-skinned thing is actually the culprit who caused me to suffer that accident?!'
Yun Chujiu suddenly felt her skin crawl, and she noticed Di Beiming looking at her so angrily that it looked like he wanted to rip her to shreds. She was completely dumbfounded.
