Chapitre 37: A Troublesome Child

Rose didn't know what to say and think in her defense, her action of coming to find him was a really weird one, but never for once did she engage in the thought of her liking Seth, it was like a 30-year-old woman liking a troublesome 12-year-old boy.

"Put these on," Rose said as she took out some clothes from her space ring and threw them at Seth, and then walked towards the thunderstorm crash site.

With the appearance of mama slowly, his clothing was the last thing on his mind but Rose's words sent him catching the thrown clothes and immediately evaluating the state of his current clothes.

Well, his flops were still in good shape, and his robe other than being ruffled up was relatively fine, well that is if you ignored that it had gotten loose and his swaying dick was once again openly waving at the world.

"Damn am I becoming a nudist" Seth swore as he wore the clothes Rose had given him.

An oversized red hoodie, slightly big trousers, and white sneakers which thankfully fit him.

"She keeps quite the assortments of clothes, "Seth thought as he jogged up to Rose who was standing beside a massive crater.

"I hope my previous dressing didn't turn you in the wrong way?" Seth asked with a proud grin on his face, but Rose didn't deign this question worth her reply and stayed silent.

With a sigh at Rose's lack of reaction to his joke, he turned and stared at the crater.

Seth didn't know if thunderstorms usually crashed, but he had to say that it made for a wonderful attack.

The crater was kilometers wide, and far more kilometers deep, the shockwave of the crash had further widened the crater, leaving its outer ring fire free, but within it, purples flames and lightning strikes could be seen everywhere, he could feel an incredible heat washing over his body as he stood beside Rose

"How did you summon the purple lightning," Rose asked him while still staring into the crater.

"Hmm why should I tell you," Seth asked trying to get her to speak, but Rose said nothing and kept on staring at the purple flames

"Am not really sure, I just wanted to beat that beast real bad, so I guess I got some enlightenment from the purple lightning that appeared in the sky, and just like that, it appeared on my body" Seth said after seeing she wasn't going to play along with him.

"Did you notice anything?" Seth asked naturally while comically squinting his eyes and staring into the flames.

Seth was expecting a reply, but the next thing he knew Rose appeared within his personal space, grabbed onto his ear and twisted it.

"ouww" Seth instinctively cried out, other than his mother no one had ever done this to him, the first reaction after screaming was to get her hand off his ear and maybe smash a fist into her face, but then he realized that he couldn't move a single muscle below his head, he was just stood there staring at Rose's frowning face.

"Don't' you ever lie to me again, okay?"

There was no reply from Seth and a tense silent atmosphere appeared between them as they both stared at each other.

"Why was this woman always looking for a way to embarrass him," Seth thought as he stared at her extraordinarily gorgeous face.

"Give me a kiss and I won't lie to you again," Seth shamelessly said, but still Rose just kept on staring at him.

"Promise not to embarrass or humiliate like you're doing right now and I promise not to lie to you again," Seth said but this earned him a twist to his ear and a stern reply

"You're far too arrogant and stubborn, embarrassing you is the only way to keep you in check"

"No one can keep me in check" Seth arrogantly replied with a chuckle.

"Your present situation says otherwise" Rose sharply replied, stunning him out of his chuckle.

"Yes here he was getting his ears twisted like a kid caught doing something wrong and all he could do was try to negotiate the release of his ears". The realization that he was being subdued sent his blood boiling in anger, but in the end, nothing changed and he was still getting his ear twisted.

"Fine promise to always reply to me and I won't lie to you again," Seth said in a defeated tone, but with a serious look in his eyes.

Rose could feel that he wasn't going to budge this time, so she released his ear.

"As long as they're not stupid questions"

With a groan, Seth rubbed his aching ear and said,

"I am aware of the existence of a place called Eleusis, I somehow forced myself into a state of enlightenment and used this state to gain entry into Eleusis and bring out the purple lightning"

Rose nodded her head and then continued with her questions,

"Where did u get the seal you used to connect with the free qi?"

"Huh have you been stalking me this whole time, damn it I have an admirer who is a stalker"

"No, I have been watching you from the moment you entered the storm" Rose replied while choosing to ignore the other half of his statement.

"Oh, in that case, I drew it myself" Seth replied to her.

"Not bad," she said and threw him two books.

[Symbols for elemental seal manipulation]

[Seals and weapons]

These were the two books Rose threw to him, and after flipping through their pages, Seth found out that they contained some really advanced stuff, he kept them in his space ring with a grin on his face and immediately threw some objects at her

"Catch",

But Rose made no move to catch the thrown objects and two Qi stones fell to the ground.

Seth paying no mind to her refusal to catch the qi stones said,

"And there is the money for them" he proudly and shamelessly said,

Rose could feel her lips twitching at Seth's behavior, she couldn't believe this was the same man who had sacrificed himself for her and bravely fought to the end.

"So what kind of men do you like," Seth asked with a grin as he moved around her trying to get a glimpse of her figure when a strong wind began blowing.

"Dead men"

The reply sent Seth's eyes snapping to her still calm face,

"Do you like me" Seth decided to directly ask.

"Yes, it's the only reason I tolerate your stupid antics" Rose truthfully replied

Seth felt a stab at his behavior being called stupid but he moved on to retort her

"I guess that makes me the only man you like, "Seth asked with a victorious grin

"When did I ever call you a man?"

Seth found his grin freezing up as he interpreted her words,

"Then what am I "Seth asked with some curiosity and annoyance in his voice.

"A troublesome child" Rose replied him and then began walking away from the crater.

She walked some distance and then waved her hand in the air and with a puff of smoke, a red object that had the shape of a car appeared hovering some feet off the ground in front of her

"Let's go 'Rose said as she turned back only to see a wary expression on Seth's face
