Genshin Impact: The Sage's Disciple Doesn't Want Fame

Once Yae no Miko returned to human form, she no longer cared about elegance or manners. In retaliation, she grabbed Ji Ming's hand and wiped her mouth hard with his sleeve.

Ji Ming gave an awkward smile: "Perhaps... the things I ate back then were even more potent?"

Eating mushrooms as a child gives you excellent resistance to toxins.

Eating a light diet in youth cultivates exceptional tolerance for hardship.

In his youth, he was fed a lot of strangely shaped slime liquid by his childhood sweetheart.

As for squid tentacles, they were considered a delicacy and a rare treat back then.

To be honest, the general's cooking skills are not bad; at least Ji Ming can accept them.

Chapter 111 The Child Has Grown Up

Growth doesn't happen overnight.

Sometimes it's a sharp, unforgettable pain, and sometimes you feel nothing at all, only that time flies by, and in the blink of an eye you become a stronger version of yourself.

Three months have passed since he moved into the castle tower. Looking back at himself two months ago, Ji Ming felt like a completely different person. He used to be so weak that when he encountered a powerful enemy, his only option was to run away.

Running away is not shameful, but it is definitely more satisfying to have the strength to crush a powerful enemy.

Along the way, Ji Ming overcame eight challenges. Although it took him three months, he underwent a complete transformation. If he had to describe it in one sentence...

At this moment, Ji Ming was filled with rage!

Without exaggeration, Ji Ming today is at least a superhuman with both strength and speed, if not an all-around all-rounder. He can easily take on ten bleeding dogs with his bare hands, teleport continuously in a group of sea dragon lizards without any pressure, and use wind element in thunderstorm element is a piece of cake.

At this point, someone might ask, "Ji Ming, Ji Ming, how come you've changed so much in just three months? Did you open a shop?"

It's not off but it's on?

Ji Ming didn't start, but Lei Yingdian did. In order to temper his strength to the limit, the difficulty of each level would increase exponentially. One level was a chase game with Yae no Kami, and the next level was a life-and-death struggle with a blood-stained dog.

That's right, it was a life-or-death struggle. The castle tower was temporarily transformed into a gladiatorial arena by Lei Yingdian. She and Yae Shinji observed from above, and would occasionally make a few comments.

Lei Yingdian only needed to stand in the stands and comment, but Ji Ming had to consider many things. Not only did he have to deal with the Blood Dog's crazy attacks, but he also had to listen to Lei Yingdian's off-site guidance at all times.

The bleeding dog was fake, the arena was fake, but the pain Ji Ming felt was real; otherwise, he could never have undergone such a transformation.

Having endured four trials—lightning strike, pursuit, battle, and concealment—and passed four tests—body tempering, mind tempering, physical strengthening, and spirit enhancement—Ji Ming was left with only the final hurdle.

"By withstanding Wuxiang's blade, you can declare that you have completely passed the trial."

Lei Yingdian's expression was indifferent, but her eyes softened after she finished speaking. She was right; Ji Ming had the potential to be unyielding and undisturbed. He had already developed a foundation, and it would be up to Ji Ming to improve in the future.

Just as previously thought, Lei Films was unwilling to let Ji Ming become the Rock King Emperor, and the same is true now.

What a wonderful child! Let him live a happy life, free from worldly supernatural powers and bothersome government affairs, until he dies peacefully.

Rather than having an almost infinite lifespan, Lei Movie would rather watch Ji Ming experience a lifetime of happiness before dying, than have him with an incredibly young face but a heart full of scars.

Yae no Miko smiled broadly. Three months of getting along had given her a better understanding of Ji Ming, and their feelings for each other had naturally deepened. Her fox tail swayed gently, reflecting her inner joy.

"Ji Jun, I am very proud."

Why be proud?

"I personally trained the future little emperor, of course I'm proud."

Lei Movie joined the discussion: "Not yet. If Ji Ming doesn't withstand Wu Xiang's attack, I will report to Morax the truth and say that you are not suitable to become the new generation of Rock God."

Yae no Miko quipped, "Is this what my mother has been trying to do?"

Yae no Miko and Lei Dianying were well aware of Ji Ming's growth over the past three months. If he wasn't qualified to become the new generation of Rock God, then no one else was qualified.

Ji Ming smiled: "I will win your approval."

Lei Yingdong was taken aback: "This will be difficult."

Ji Ming shrugged: "I'm not afraid."

The child...has grown up?

Lei Yingdian suddenly had this thought: they've only been a few months old, so why does she treat Ji Ming like a real child?

Lei Yingdian once raised another child, and back then she was just like she is now—stubborn, indifferent, and disregarding the child's feelings. That inhuman creation eventually went astray.

Lei felt guilty, but when teaching Ji Ming, she still couldn't shake off her old patriarchal mode. She thought Ji Ming would dislike or even hate her, but to her surprise, he not only didn't, but also looked very serious and wanted to win her approval.

Gratitude was the only emotion Lei felt from Ji Ming, pure and innocent.

Lei Movie remained silent: "I will stop you."

Ji Ming grinned: "I know, you don't want me to become the Rock King Emperor?"

"You don't hate me?"

"Why hate? Becoming the Rock King Emperor is not necessary. Even if I can't become the Rock King Emperor, I can still fulfill my ideals and live with the people I care about."

Ji Ming gently stroked his chin: "On the contrary, you are too arrogant... a bit cold, but I know you mean well."

Yae no Miko teased, "Ki-kun, are you trying to say tsundere?"

As for Lei's movie, she appeared calm on the surface, but inside she was deeply moved. Yae Shinko could almost see a cute little shadow covering her face and crying.

Yes, she can tolerate the coldness of her movies, understand her unspoken meanings and hidden messages, and even accept her terrible cooking.

Based on that last characteristic alone, Ji Jun was already considered the most exemplary son in Ying's heart.

So, it's probably quite normal that Ying doesn't want to let Ji Jun go, right?

Yae no Miko smiled. Although she was asked to do this by her sister Gan Yu, it didn't stop her from watching the show. That was the nature of a wicked fox.

For Ji Jun's sake, Thor Balzeb forcibly detained the successor of the Rock God Morax, because he wanted to treat Ji Jun as his own son.

Could it be argued that Ji Jun has become the darling of the Rock God, Wind God, and Thunder God?

I'm so excited just thinking about it, let's get this fighting started!

"General, will you hold back in the final battle?"

Lei Yingdian raised an eyebrow: "No."

Ji Ming nodded: "Give it a try?"

The two quickly created distance between themselves. Ji Ming stood still, taking a deep breath, and watched as Lei Yingdong unleashed a powerful aura, drawing his katana from his chest. Everything around him was blasted away, except for Yae no Kamiko, who was watching the battle.

The samurai sword is raised high; this strike represents the pinnacle of martial arts in the Lei Movie series. This strike has slain demons and cleaved mountains and seas.

Ji Ming's heart pounded. The power of the demon god was still unmatched, and he had an urge to run away.

However, Lei Movie just blinked, and then the style suddenly changed. He turned the samurai sword and gently tapped it down with the back of the blade.

Ji Ming: "?"

Yae Shenzi: "?"

Yae no Miko is furious. This wasn't how they treated her back when they were chasing her and attacking her. This is discriminatory treatment by Lei Movie, and they must report it!

"Shadow, you're not being honest."

Lei looked away, his confidence wavering: "You have a head, why aren't you using it?"

I still feel a little sorry for him. Even if Ji Ming doesn't die in the castle tower, he must feel pain, right?

Yae no Miko was annoyed but helpless: "Fine, Ji-kun, why don't you go and take a stroll around Inazuma Castle? You haven't left the castle tower for three months, you'd better take care of your appearance, your beard has grown quite a bit."

A short beard, while very manly, is best kept clean. Ji Jun should always be neat and tidy, a youth until death.

Chapter 112 This is really cool

Naganohara Yomi's pupils widened in shock. Three months later, she saw Ji Ming again on the streets of the castle town.

At the same time, Ji Ming, who had just left the castle tower, also saw Naganohara Yomiguchi and waved to her: "Good afternoon, beautiful lady."

While shocked, Naganohara Yoshimiya couldn't help but retort, "My Lord, I feel you're quite frivolous."

"Eh?"

"Pfft... Just kidding, handsome."

She ran over excitedly, looking around before grabbing Ji Ming's wrist and heading towards the aristocratic town of Tenshu. She had to tell Ayaka Kamisato the good news.

Ji Ming didn't struggle: "I've grown a beard."

Naganohara Yomi: "Yes, I saw it."

"Does he have a manly air about him?"

"A little, but it looks really strange."

One or two people thought the same thing. Yae no Miko and Lei Yingdian both thought he didn't look good with a beard, because he looked too old and strange. Unexpectedly, Naganohara Yoshimiya also had the same opinion.

Don't all Inazuma men like to grow short beards? Ji Ming thinks he would look very imposing with a beard. He thought so when he was a child because having a beard means he has become a real man.

It was a strange idea, but it was a thought that Ji Ming kept to himself during his time of wandering. At that time, he didn't know if he would even live to see the next day.

Looking back at Ji Ming, Naganohara Yoshimiya smiled and said, "You're handsome no matter what. Myo-kun just needs to groom himself a little and he'll be even more handsome."

Ji Ming feigned emotion: "Xiaogong, how magnificent."

Naganohara Yoshimiya remarked, "You're such a perfunctory ruler."
