Training the Villain to Become a Big Sister Obsessed - Chapter 102

“Ah—!”

A bloodcurdling scream echoed through the dim hall. Ye Nanyi’s entire right arm was scorched black by lava. The outermost layer of flesh hung precariously, looking as though it could slough off completely with a single touch. She lay on the ground, soaked through as if washed, her hair plastered stickily across her face. Her eyes, filled with ferocity, glared through the gaps at the person in front of her.

Mu Liu crouched down before her, poking her nearly ruined arm with a finger. She tut-tutted, smiling as she asked, “Young Master Ye, weren’t you going to kill me to silence me? How do you look like this now?”

Ye Nanyi shivered all over from the pain, her chest heaving violently. Hearing her words, she sneered, “A dog relying on its master’s power!”

If that woman hadn’t intervened, how could she have been defeated so miserably?

Her eyes darted around. The candlelight in the hall was flickering out, but she could still see a jade statue resembling an Azure Dragon coiled upon the high throne. Although she had never actually seen the Azure Dragon Hall, there was probably no other place in the Four Seas that dared to openly display the Azure Dragon like this.

So, she was currently in the Azure Dragon Hall!

Faint footsteps drew closer. A foot viciously kicked Ye Nanyi’s chest, sending her spitting blood and instantly making her complexion even paler.

“Stare around again, and I’ll gouge your eyes out!” Mu Liu hissed fiercely. She then turned as if just noticing the newcomer in the hall, immediately switching to a respectful, smiling face. “Lord Chongyan, you’ve arrived.”

Chongyan hummed in acknowledgment and frowned slightly upon seeing the puddle of blood on the ground.

Mu Liu noticed her displeasure and hurriedly said, “I’ll take her away and deal with her right now.”

“Wait.” Chongyan raised her hand to stop her. A flicker of flame shot from her fingertip, instantly incinerating the bloodstains until they were completely gone.

Mu Liu bowed her head, waiting for her to speak.

“If I recall correctly, she is the Young Master of the Dusheng Sect?” Chongyan bent down to look at Ye Nanyi’s face. She waved her hand through the air, sweeping the hair from her face to reveal a visage pale, ugly, and covered in blood and sweat.

Ye Nanyi stared at her, the hatred in her eyes falling upon Chongyan as if materialized. She recognized this person; it was she who had ruined her arm, and she who had saved Mu Liu at the critical moment.

Chongyan raised an eyebrow: “Want to kill me? In your current state, I’m afraid you can’t. Why don’t you consider how to beg me to spare your life?”

Ye Nanyi took this sentence to heart. She struggled to flip over, using one hand to support her upper body, and then slowly lowered her head before Chongyan until her forehead rested on the cold floor.

A woman’s joyous laughter rang out above her head, and even Mu Liu beside her laughed aloud.

The immense humiliation made Ye Nanyi’s eyes red and burning. Her vision was obscured by tears, and the pain in her arm seemed to lessen greatly at this moment.

With a “clink,” a medicine bottle was thrown over, rolling to a stop in front of Ye Nanyi. She didn’t ask anything, immediately grabbed it, and stuffed the pills into her mouth, one by one. Whether it was medicine or poison, she swallowed it all.

The moment it entered her mouth, Ye Nanyi felt the wounds on her body begin to itch, and new flesh was growing.

With some strength restored, Ye Nanyi slightly lifted her eyes. Mu Liu stood in the center of the hall, and Chongyan was only seated on one side. The Dragon Throne on the high seat awaited its owner quietly.

“Mu Liu, you’ve done well. If you can use this opportunity to crush the White Tiger Hall in one fell swoop, the Hall Master will surely reward you handsomely,” Chongyan said, resting her hand on her forehead.

Mu Liu bowed, cupping her hands: “It is my honor to serve the Hall Master.”

Chongyan smiled and shifted her gaze to Ye Nanyi: “You can be considered meritorious, too. The Dusheng Sect is not a major immortal sect, yet you dared to lay such a poisonous hand on the Young Hall Master of the White Tiger Hall. Your courage is commendable.”

“Aren’t you afraid of implicating the entire Dusheng Sect?”

Ye Nanyi twitched her lips, her eyes moving to Mu Liu. She said hoarsely, “That’s why I needed to kill to silence her.”

The fox came from the Feng family, and Reincarnation was the secret drug of the Valley of A Thousand Poisons. By killing Mu Liu, who had refined the medicine, no one would know that she was the one who administered the poison.

What a pity…

“It’s a pity you couldn’t kill her,” Chongyan said casually. A single human life and the lives of everyone in an immortal sect seemed to be just a sentence in her eyes.

“Consider it: Will you die here, and I tell the White Tiger Hall that you administered the poison, or will you do as Mu Liu did and lead your entire Dusheng Sect to pledge allegiance to our Hall Master?”

It was called a choice, but there was fundamentally no choice.

It was a choice between life and death.

Ye Nanyi’s eyelashes trembled, and she lowered her head again: “I am willing to serve Lord Chongyan.”

“Wrong.” A woman’s voice suddenly rang out in the hall, and a sense of powerful pressure instantly enveloped the area.

Chongyan didn’t move, but Mu Liu knelt down very quickly, lowering her head and daring not to look up.

“Repeat what you just said.”

Ye Nanyi felt her recently healed injuries worsen. She slowly raised her eyes and saw an extremely familiar face.

The woman’s eyebrows and eyes were actually seven or eight parts similar to Cangwu’s!

The woman did not hide the pair of dragon horns on her forehead. Her vertically slit pupils stared gloomily at Ye Nanyi.

Ye Nanyi immediately lowered her head after a quick glance, saying with a tremble, “The Dusheng Sect is willing to serve the Hall Master like a loyal dog and horse!”

Jiangli squinted her eyes in satisfaction and raised a hand: “Not bad. With this awareness, I will not treat you poorly in the future.”

Glancing at Chongyan, Jiangli gave a soft snort and asked, “Why are you still here?”

Chongyan’s gaze circled the dragon horns on her forehead, and she chuckled: “With this pair of dragon horns, you really look a bit like a true dragon now.”

Jiangli gave her a chilling look.

Chongyan immediately rose, laughing as she walked out, saying loudly, “My mistake, my mistake! I’m going to check on Listening Snow Tower right now.”

After Chongyan left, Mu Liu crawled forward two steps on her knees, looking up at the woman above: “Hall Master, is there anything I can do for you?”

Jiangli smiled faintly, pointing to Ye Nanyi, who couldn’t stand up: “Then you can help me take good care of Young Master Ye. After all, since she has pledged allegiance to me, I naturally can’t let her leave with missing arms or legs.”

Mu Liu’s expression stiffened.

“What, you’re unwilling?” Jiangli’s tone turned low and cold.

Mu Liu hurriedly lowered her head in a bow: “Willing, willing!”

She then moved over to Ye Nanyi, grasping her left arm tightly and pulling her up.

Half of Ye Nanyi’s weight leaned on Mu Liu. She stared coldly at Mu Liu and spat out a single sentence: “Thank you.”

It was a word of thanks, yet the way she said it made her sound as if she wanted to flay the person before her alive.

“Be gone.”

The two rivals replied in unison, “Yes.”

After leaving the hall and walking a distance, Mu Liu stopped acting and immediately let go, standing to the side.

Ye Nanyi had already anticipated this. Her body staggered twice before she managed to stand firm.

“Now that we’re both on the same ship, how about we call our grievances even?” Ye Nanyi proactively offered a truce.

“Grievances… even?” Mu Liu curled her lips. “Is there any kindness between us? I refined Reincarnation for you, yet you tried to kill me to silence me. Is that kindness?”

“Didn’t you scheme against me first?” Ye Nanyi’s smile did not reach her eyes. “You intentionally gave Reincarnation to me, knowing I would burn the bridge after crossing it. You voluntarily confessed guilt at Qingyun Academy and hid in the barrier set up by Headmaster Xuan. As soon as you left the Academy, you had Chongyan intercept you. Mu Liu, I underestimated you.”

Mu Liu chuckled twice: “Do you really think I’m as foolish as Mu Fuan? Reincarnation is a secret drug not passed down in the Valley of A Thousand Poisons. If anything went wrong, the first entity anyone would think of is the Valley of A Thousand Poisons. The Valley Master is old and doesn’t see the big picture; she’s unwilling to show favor to the Hall Master.”

“So you took the opportunity to drag the Valley of A Thousand Poisons into the mess. Therefore, even if I didn’t kill you to silence you, you wouldn’t have said the poison was administered by me.” Ye Nanyi finished the rest of her thought. “It seems you succeeded.”

The Valley of A Thousand Poisons has submitted to the Azure Dragon Hall.

Mu Liu nodded, her smile growing wider: “Naturally. Once the old Valley Master relinquishes control, I will be the new Valley Master of the Valley of A Thousand Poisons.”

“Then I truly congratulate you,” Ye Nanyi said, turning her head to look at the surrounding palaces and towers. She never would have guessed that the recent unrest in the Four Seas was being instigated by the Azure Dragon Hall.

Why would the Azure Dragon Hall Master do this? Could she be planning to unify the Four Seas?

The Cloud Boat reached the airspace above Changze Mountain. Lingguang looked down, seeing nothing but scorched earth, sparingly dotted with bits of green.

She couldn’t help but wonder, “Is this really Changze Mountain, where ten thousand spirit herbs were said to grow?”

Before arriving, they had already researched Changze Mountain. The scrolls described it as the purest land and water in the Four Seas, home to tens of thousands of spirit herbs and trees, where many precious and rare medicinal herbs could be found.

But what lay before their eyes was clearly a barren mountain—no, a scorched mountain. There were traces of fire everywhere, and after all these years, no vegetation had managed to regrow. The fire used by the person who set the blaze back then was likely no ordinary flame.

“What a terrible mistake the Valley of Spiritual Medicine must have made to be burned down so thoroughly,” Lingguang said, shaking her head regretfully.

Stopping the Cloud Boat in a valley, Elder Yu controlled it to transform instantly into a graceful pavilion. It looked otherworldly and completely out of place against the surrounding ruins and broken walls.

“There are quite a few newly emerging spiritual objects here. Go and see if you can find these spirit herbs,” Elder Yu said, using spiritual power to manifest the appearance of a few spirit herbs.

“Are there so many variations of Glazed Serried Leaves?” Mu Fuan asked.

Mohuaisheng, holding his short flute, was about to speak when the jade token at his waist suddenly dropped, smashing onto a sharp rock and shattering into pieces.

He frowned, crouched down, watched the spiritual power gradually dissipate, and, after confirming the jade token was ruined, pursed his lips and stood up again.

His jade token was broken; he would just get another one when he returned to Listening Snow Tower.

“This is not the Glazed Serried Leaves. Although Reincarnation is said to be an insoluble poison, I still want to attempt to create an antidote.” Elder Yu waved away the illusion before her eyes and condensed a single blooming spirit herb in front of the group.

“This is what the Glazed Serried Leaves look like.”

The Glazed Serried Leaves were not as stunning as their name suggested. Instead, they were extremely plain, with wilted, yellowed leaves and soft, slender stems, looking as if they would wither and fall away if a gust of wind blew by.

“Alright, we’ll go now,” Lingguang said, preparing to climb the mountain.

Mohuaisheng and Mu Fuan followed behind her.

“Aren’t you going?” Zhaochen asked, tilting her head.

Only Cangwu had yet to move.

Hearing this, Cangwu took a step forward, placed her hand on Zhaochen’s shoulder, and sent a message via voice transmission: “There is another soul inside Senior Sister’s body.”

Zhaochen’s eyelashes fluttered; she had guessed as much.

“Now that Senior Sister’s soul is trapped, is there any way to force the other person’s soul out?” A dark glint flashed in Cangwu’s eyes, and the chain on her finger began to heat up.

Force it out, then kill it directly.

Then it will no longer threaten Senior Sister.
