Second Week, I’m Really Not A Villain

Chapter 39: Flesh Refining

Qin Qingyue floated several meters in the air, gathering her disheveled hair and revealing a pair of noble and indifferent phoenix eyes. She extended her hand towards Qin Luo.

"Promises are binding, and people can also be dead."

Qin Luo: "!!"

"What are you saying! Are you speaking human language?"

As Qin Luo's palm met hers, he panicked as if he was being targeted by a Barrett rifle. He finally realized that his good sister was not as honorable as he had imagined.

If it weren't for the prior agreement with Qin Qingyue, even if Qin Luo was brave, he wouldn't dare to slap her face like that. It was because he was certain that she would keep her word that he dared to do so.

"Qin Qingyue, are you sure you want to go back on your word..."

"Boom!"

Qin Qingyue didn't give her useless brother a chance to provoke her any further. A strand of blue-purple thunder burst out from her palm and struck Qin Luo's chest directly.

Whenever she got serious, Qin Luo had no chance of being her opponent. It was without a doubt that he was sent flying by the thunder, his body charred and his hair standing on end.

"Cough cough!"

Qin Luo coughed out two puffs of black smoke, experiencing the feeling of being electrocuted for the first time in his life. He felt like his flesh was being cooked by the electricity. He didn't dare to waste any more words with Qin Qingyue and quickly crawled away to save his life.

But before he could take two steps, another strand of thunder shot towards him from behind, like an old man pushing a cart, directly hitting his buttocks and passing through.

"...Damn!"

Qin Luo was numb from the electricity, howling towards the sky, unable to distinguish whether it was pain or pleasure.

"You damn Qin Qingyue! Even if you're struck by lightning, it shouldn't be on the buttocks. Can't you aim a little off?"

Although Qin Qingyue's jade-like face was still flushed and her hair was still hot, she showed no expression. The electric current continued to burst from her palm, refining Qin Luo's physical body with the majestic power of thunder, making him jump and writhe in pain.

"Qin Qingyue, if you do it to me again, believe me, I will make you kneel down and beg me—"

"Damn...listen to me finish! I want you to kneel down and beg me not to die, not to threaten you!"

"That's enough, I'll just slap you once. How many times do you want to be electrocuted?"

"You bastard! Qin Qingyue, just wait for me. I will kill you sooner or later and make you beg for mercy..."

Even when he fell into the hands of Liu Chengyin and Xiao Yan that day, Qin Luo wasn't as terrified as he was now. He felt as if Qin Qingyue really had murderous intent towards him, wanting to electrocute him to death, constantly running around the courtyard with his head in his hands.

In the midst of his escape, he didn't realize that although his body was constantly being electrocuted, he didn't suffer any substantial injuries. On the contrary, the visible power of thunder was flowing through his meridians and flesh.

...

...

"Master, should we intervene and dissuade Miss?"

In the high clouds, Fulin saw Qin Luo being struck by thunder, feeling a bit reluctant. He asked Qin Wude for instructions.

"Why should we dissuade?"

Qin Wude stroked his beard and laughed heartily. "I've wanted to teach that scoundrel a lesson for a long time. I'm just afraid of killing him. It's best if Qingyue can do it for me!"

Fulin hesitated. "But, what if Young Master is taught a lesson to the point of..."

"It doesn't matter."

Qin Wude waved his hand. "Qingyue knows how to control herself. At worst, we'll call the imperial physician to save that scoundrel after it's done."

As soon as the words fell, he no longer paid attention to the howling rebels below, and flew away to a distance, leaving Fu Lin hesitating in the clouds.

"Zi zi zi..."

Not knowing how long he had been electrocuted, Qin Luo completely lost the strength to struggle. He lay motionless on the ground, with occasional twitches as the electric current surged through his flesh and blood. His face was filled with a hopeless expression, as if he had been broken.

"I swear not to be human if I don't avenge this grudge, Qin Qingyue, just you wait... I will completely destroy you sooner or later."

Qin Luo weakly uttered these harsh words. He was indeed stubborn, even until the last moment of electrotherapy, he did not yield to Sister Yue.

Qin Qingyue floated in mid-air, extinguishing the flickering electric light on her fingertips, and said lightly, "Alright, don't say I didn't give you a chance for revenge. I'll come find you tomorrow night."

"???"

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Luo instantly sat up in shock from his near-death state.

"Uh, well... revenge is a dish best served cold. You can actually come find me in ten years."

Qin Qingyue remained indifferent, and finally cast a disdainful glance at him before flying back to the attic.

Qin Luo watched her departing figure, feeling a mix of sadness and anger, despair and helplessness.

He had thought that by becoming Qin Qingyue's younger brother, he would be able to firmly hold onto her powerful leg, and at the very least, he wouldn't be hunted and beaten every day like in the first round.

But who would have thought that becoming Qin Qingyue's younger brother would indeed allow him to hold onto her powerful leg, but he would be beaten even worse than in the first round, and there would be an even more powerful electrotherapy!

"Saintess Liu, when are you going to come and kidnap me again? I can't stay in this house for another day..."

Qin Luo angrily punched the ground.

"Bang."

This unintentional punch actually shattered the stones on the ground.

Qin Luo was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head in surprise.

He had just casually thrown that punch without even activating his spiritual power, so how could it have such strong destructive power?

Qin Luo raised his fist and carefully examined it, sensing it for a moment. Soon, he discovered another surprising thing.

His cultivation level was originally only at the third level of Qi Refining, but after Qin Qingyue's electrotherapy, he had unknowingly broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Moreover, every bone and muscle in his body was filled with the powerful and domineering thunderous force. It surged and flowed with every movement he made, and his physical strength had increased many times over.

"Is this... what Qin Qingyue did to me?"

Qin Luo was stunned, finally realizing the true intention behind Qin Qingyue electrocuting him.

"Alright, don't say I didn't give you a chance for revenge. I'll come find you tomorrow night."

Qin Qingyue's words before leaving echoed in Qin Luo's ears. The expression of sadness and anger on his face quickly faded, replaced by a complex expression.

"Even if you want to help me break through my cultivation level and strengthen my physical body, couldn't you just say it directly? Why make it seem like you're torturing me..."

Qin Luo was very eager to increase his cultivation level. If he had known Qin Qingyue's true intention behind electrocuting him earlier, he wouldn't have cursed her with so many vulgar words, but would have gritted his teeth and endured it.

"It's my good fortune to have such a good sister, or should I just accept it?"

Muttering to himself, Qin Luo stood up, glanced at the attic in the distance, and returned to the room to change his clothes.
