“Oh, it’s raining. Grandpa, I have to go back to my place now, otherwise, when the rain gets heavier, I can’t go back!” Yun Chujiu looked outside and said.

“Go back with an umbrella! Be careful on your way, don’t slip!” Yun Xiaotian took out an oil-paper umbrella and handed it to Yun Chujiu.

Yun Chujiu took the oil-paper umbrella and went out of the study room with a smile.

The gremlin was currently in a very good mood. ‘I had a good harvest today. I earned five hundred thousand taels of silver in just one day, and there are also a few hundred taels of silver in Bai Moyu and Bai Morou’s money pouches as well.’

Moreover, she had also cleared her name completely. The skeptical Bai Peng would not dare eat the Soul-Gathering Pill that Bai Moyu got from her as well. Haha, what a beautiful day!

While the girl still had her head in the clouds, a purple lightning bolt in the sky came crackling in her direction.

Yun Chujiu was so terrified that she cursed. She threw away her umbrella and hopped away frantically like a rabbit.

However, it seemed that the lightning bolt was able to see her. Even though Yun Chujiu ran everywhere, the lightning bolt continued to chase after her.

Yun Chujiu was about to cry!

‘What the heck?! Has anyone ever seen a lightning bolt that can sweep corners?!

‘You’re just intent on hitting me, aren’t you?!

‘Is it because I’ve been running my mouth today, and I said something so horrible that karma’s decided to strike me with lightning?!’

“I haven’t done anything wrong, why do you want to hit me?! If you’re so skilled in chasing after people, you can go and hit that scumbag, Bai instead!

“F*ck! You little loach, go away! If you hit me, I-I’ll bite you!”

…

Yun Chujiu was driven to a corner because of the purple lightning bolt, hence, she started to curse up a storm. Despite that, it was useless. The lightning bolt still hit Yun Chujiu.

Yun Chujiu felt numb from head to toe, and like a heroine in a tragic drama, she fainted.

However, she only remained unconscious for a few breaths before she woke up. She then scrambled to her feet and dashed all the way back to her place.

“Milady, why didn’t you carry an umbrella?! Ah, why is there mud on your clothes? Milady, did you fall? Did you get hurt?” When Chun Yu saw that Yun Chujiu had returned, she quickly went up to serve her.

Yun Chujiu waved her hand. The first thing she did was not to see whether she was injured or not but to take out the money pouches hidden in her clothes. She broke into a smile. The money pouches were not wet at all. She did not expect the pretty boy’s clothes to be so good that they were actually waterproof!

Indeed. Yun Chujiu had been wearing Di Beiming’s clothes underneath her robe because Yun Chujiu was afraid of death, and she knew that his clothes were definitely valuable. Hence, she had been speculating that they would be able to save her life during a critical moment.

Yun Chujiu took out a large stack of silver notes from the money pouches. “Chun Yu, keep this money for me!”

Chun Yu was stunned for a while, but a moment later, she was so touched that she was almost in tears. In the past, the lady was so wary of her that she behaved as if Chun Yu was a thief and never allowed her to manage her money. She never imagined that the lady would now allow her to protect so many silver notes.

After taking a hot bath, Yun Chujiu began to practice cultivation. Yun Chujiu sat cross-legged on her bed and mumbled, “Although I’m only absorbing a few tiny purple light balls every day, if I accumulate them little by little, they will gradually become a lot…”

Yun Chujiu suddenly stopped talking. ‘Why are there suddenly so many purple light balls in my body? Wow… this amount is equivalent to half a year’s worth of cultivation, right?!’

Yun Chujiu was stunned for a moment before she slapped her thigh.

“Yes! That must be the case! These tiny purple light balls are definitely related to the lightning bolt! I was struck by lightning just now, so that’s why there are so many purple balls of light in my body.”

“Are they related to lightning? Could this be the lightning element? But I’ve never heard anyone mention that there is a lightning element aside from the five elements.

“Ah, I’m not going to care anymore. Since it exists, there has to be a reasonable explanation. Maybe my lightning element is stronger than other elements! If anyone bullies me, I will send the person a lightning bolt and kill him or her! Ahahaha, it feels amazing just thinking about it!”

The more she thought about it, the happier she became, but in the end, she thought of a big problem.

“Although this lightning element looks very powerful, it usually comes to me at a pitiful amount. If I cultivate it step-by-step through conventional means, who knows how many years it will take before I can become someone powerful?!”

Yun Chujiu had a bitter look as she rested her chin on her palms, and she began to sigh.

All of a sudden, her eyes lit up. She jumped up from her bed, pushed open her door, and rushed into her courtyard.
