Training the Villain to Become a Big Sister Obsessed - Chapter 116

“Why is it so quiet…” Lord Lan Shan murmured in confusion, her unease nearly leaping out of her heart.

The thick fog before her slowly dissipated, and Lord Lan Shan’s steps slowed down accordingly until she stopped.

As the dense fog completely cleared, Lord Lan Shan’s pupils suddenly constricted, and she swiftly retreated two steps.

If she had taken one more step forward just now, she would have fallen directly into a deep cliff.

The dense fog that had enveloped the surroundings seemed to have gathered beneath the deep cliff ahead, piled together to form an almost pure white color. It made it impossible to guess how deep the cliff was or what lay at the bottom.

[Go down and have a look.]

It was that voice again.

Lord Lan Shan touched the chain on her finger that was slightly warm and turned to walk back.

Although there were many opportunities in such secret realms, and under a strange and inexplicable cliff like this was a highly probable place for opportunities to emerge, the existence of opportunity also meant danger.

She did not want to seek death yet.

[You! How can you be so timid!?] The Spirit King spoke, sounding utterly exasperated.

[I truly don’t understand how she could like you.]

Lord Lan Shan heard the disdain in that sentence, but she didn’t care.

She turned and walked two steps. Suddenly, a fog arose around her again, as if to block her path.

Lord Lan Shan slightly raised her eyebrows, walking back and forth near the cliff edge a few times. The fog changed from dense to thin, and from thin to dense again.

Sure enough, it was as she thought.

“Is this trying to force me down?”

[Lord Lan Shan.]

A low, gentle voice sounded by her ear. Lord Lan Shan’s breathing paused for a moment. Cang Wu had called her that not long ago.

The voice of this Chaos Diagram artifact spirit was truly too similar to Cang Wu’s.

[You need to become stronger, then others won’t be able to hurt you, and you won’t need to protect Cang Wu with your body anymore. The bottom of this cliff holds what you need.]

Lord Lan Shan stood at the cliff edge, looking down at the thick fog, her fingertip unconsciously twisting the chain on her finger.

After a long moment, she let out a light breath, tapped her toes, and leaped down.

What is there to be afraid of? Moreover, I have the Chaos Diagram. If I truly encounter a predicament I can’t handle, can’t I just run?

Passing through the heavy, dense fog, Lord Lan Shan’s vision suddenly dimmed. The fog blocked all light, and a chilly,陰冷 (yinleng, gloomy cold) aura rushed toward her face.

What kind of good opportunity could there be in this ghost place?

Lord Lan Shan had a feeling of being deceived.

Her speed of descent slowed down a bit. Lord Lan Shan stepped on the flowing wind at the bottom of the cliff. Her robe fluttered, making a rustling sound in the wind.

She took out a Moonlight Pearl from her Qiankun bag, and as her spiritual power activated it, the moonlight from the pearl spread out. The surroundings finally became clear.

[Go down.]

“How dare you come to this ghost place?”

Although there was no one around, Lord Lan Shan could hear the words of two others, while a Little Spirit Deer lay on her shoulder, coiling around a small cloud dragon.

She was alone, yet it was very lively.

Pursing her lips silently, Lord Lan Shan finally set foot on solid ground at the bottom of the cliff.

Since I’m already here, I can’t just go back now, can I?

“Kacha——”

A crisp sound echoed at the bottom of the cliff. Lord Lan Shan held the Moonlight Pearl and looked down at her feet.

In the faint light, a long boot of white brocade and gold thread slowly moved away, revealing two segments of fractured white bones.

Lord Lan Shan: “…”

“A ground full of corpses, how could this be a good place? Lord Lan Shan, are you tired of living? If you are, don’t drag me along,” Lan Yan said anxiously in the Sea of Consciousness.

“I won’t die.” Lord Lan Shan continued to walk forward.

[With me here, of course, you won’t die.] The Spirit King said confidently.

Even though she was not physically by Lord Lan Shan’s side, she could teach Lord Lan Shan how to protect herself and escape at critical moments.

With both people talking to her, Lord Lan Shan felt a bit overwhelmed and directly cut off the connection to the Sea of Consciousness.

The Chaos Diagram artifact spirit seemed somewhat useful, while Lan Yan was ignorant of everything and had too much nonsense to say.

Avoiding the bones underfoot as much as possible, Lord Lan Shan determined from the remains that there were not only human bones but also bones of large and small demonic beasts. Some of the bones were severely corrupted by the wind and would crumble into dust with the slightest breeze. There were also corpses whose flesh had not yet rotted, emitting a strong smell of blood.

This place was like a mass grave.

Seeing so many bones down here, Lord Lan Shan inevitably felt a bit nervous. The hair at her temples was already damp, and the wind blowing over it brought an uncomfortable chill.

The path ahead seemed endless, and the Moonlight Pearl in her hand was slowly losing its light.

[Lord Lan Shan, why do you like Cang Wu?] The Spirit King suddenly asked.

The atmosphere was tense. Hearing this question, Lord Lan Shan couldn’t help but feel a dark line descend on her head. “Is this the time to be talking about this?”

[Why are you so fierce to me? You are not like this with Cang Wu. How can you be so biased?]

Lord Lan Shan: “???”

Vexed? What are you vexed about? Why is an artifact spirit vexed? Besides, how was she fierce just now? Her tone was just a little flat.

Why is this Chaos Diagram so sensitive?

[Did I hit the mark? Why don’t you speak? You have a lot to say to Cang Wu, but nothing to say to me?]

Lord Lan Shan took a deep breath. “Cang Wu doesn’t talk as much as you do.”

Finally, silence descended, and the Moonlight Pearl in her hand completely lost its light.

Now what? She couldn’t see anything at all.

Fortunately, there was still wind down here. Lord Lan Shan controlled the wind to explore the situation ahead.

The chain on her finger began to heat up. A golden light suddenly enveloped Lord Lan Shan, driving back the darkness around her.

Lord Lan Shan’s lips curved slightly. “Although you talk a lot, you do help solve problems.”

Taking large steps forward, the number of bones began to decrease, but the gloomy, cold aura grew heavier.

Lord Lan Shan had a feeling of being watched. This sensation made the hairs on her body stand up, and her temples throbbed painfully.

She couldn’t go any further, Lord Lan Shan thought.

She stopped.

[Why aren’t you moving?] the Spirit King asked.

A drop of sweat rolled down Lord Lan Shan’s forehead. Her throat was dry. “Something is wrong.”

The next moment, the ground suddenly shook violently. Lord Lan Shan quickly dodged the incoming rock.

The rock smashed into the cliff wall nearby, instantly creating a huge crater in the stone wall. Small and large (suishi, fragmented rocks) fell down. Just as Lord Lan Shan was about to dodge, her ankle was suddenly grabbed by a hand.

She lowered her head and abruptly realized that the hand grabbing her was a segment of white bone.

“Haha, a beauty has come! Beauty, what’s troubling you? Tell your elder sister. This elder sister is so bored down here.” A charming voice came from the depths of the darkness, followed by a pebble thrown with considerable force.

The pebble hit Lord Lan Shan’s knee bend squarely. Her body stumbled, almost kneeling. The falling rocks above her were upon her in an instant. Lord Lan Shan raised her hand and swung out the chained blade, shattering the falling rocks.

Quickly scattering the white bones that were grasping her legs and climbing up, Lord Lan Shan leaped away from the area of the falling rocks.

A fierce wind suddenly arose. Lord Lan Shan swept up all the falling rocks, returning the favor by throwing them all into the depths of the darkness.

The falling rocks were thrown out but made no sound, as if they were all silently pulverized by someone.

“The beauty sure holds a grudge.” The woman said with a soft laugh, and then threw a small pebble back at Lord Lan Shan.

The small pebble thrown out did not carry any spiritual power, as if it were a playful gesture.

Lord Lan Shan raised her hand to catch it. Looking closer, her eyes nearly flickered. This was no ordinary small pebble. The woman had thrown out an extremely beautiful and pure spiritual stone. The spiritual energy content within it was comparable to the golden core of a Clear Soul Realm cultivator.

A rich woman lives in this dark, gloomy place.

“Senior.” Lord Lan Shan saluted toward the depths.

A light laugh came from the depths of the darkness, and another spiritual stone was thrown out. “’Senior’ sounds too old. Call me Elder Sister.”

Lord Lan Shan looked at the spiritual stone in her hand and pondered. This is too much to give away.

“Elder Sister!”

A fool would pass up a good deal.

“What is your name?”

“Lord Lan Shan.”

“What are you doing here?”

“…Curiosity.”

“Just curiosity?” The woman clearly did not believe her. “Few people in the entire Realm of Guixu dare to come here. You just jumped down with a word of curiosity?”

Lord Lan Shan’s heart thumped. This is indeed not a good place.

“Why do I smell the scent of an Azure Dragon on you?” The woman’s tone suddenly became deep, laced with hatred as she ground her teeth. “Are you related to an Azure Dragon?”

Before Lord Lan Shan could figure out how to speak, a hand abruptly reached out from the depths of the darkness. It did not give her a chance to activate the Chaos Diagram before it had already clamped onto her neck.

Half of the woman’s face was covered by a bright red flower. The flower seemed to have grown out of her eye, and the uncovered eye was as scarlet as the color of the flower.

Lord Lan Shan was completely restrained, watching as the woman slowly approached her, sniffing at her body.

After confirming that she had not smelled wrong, Hua Yuan’s expression twisted. She felt that all the spiritual stones she had given just now were wasted on a dog.

In the moment of Hua Yuan’s shock, Lord Lan Shan unhesitatingly activated the Chaos Diagram. A golden light burst forth, searing the woman’s hand. Lord Lan Shan quickly moved away from her.

Hua Yuan frowned, looking at the golden-glowing chained blade in her hand. “The Chaos Diagram!?”

Their eyes met, and both retreated simultaneously.

All of Hua Yuan’s anger had been suppressed.

[She won’t dare to do anything to you. Ask her for something.]

“She can crush me with a simple move. And you want me to ask her for something?” Lord Lan Shan replied in disbelief.

[Trust me. You ask for the Everlasting Flower.]

Lord Lan Shan looked at Hua Yuan and moved her lips. “I want the Everlasting Flower.”

Hua Yuan: “…”

This woman has a truly dark heart. She is indeed the person chosen by the Chaos Diagram—greedy and insatiable.

They looked at each other in silence. Lord Lan Shan felt a little uneasy inwardly.

She quietly opened her mouth to ask, “What is the Everlasting Flower? Why is she looking at me like that?”

[She is a flower demon. Her true form is the Everlasting Flower.]

Lord Lan Shan: “…?”

“I want the Everlasting Flower.”

“I want your life.”

What is the difference between these two statements! Breaking into someone’s home and asking for their life.

At this moment, Lord Lan Shan felt like she was the villain.

“So… something else is fine, too,” Lord Lan Shan said nervously.

Hua Yuan was wary of the Chaos Diagram. Hearing that she did not want the Everlasting Flower, she was also relieved. “Follow me. Take it yourself.”

Lord Lan Shan followed Hua Yuan, realizing that she maintained a very long distance from her the entire time, as if she were afraid of her.

Passing through a stretch of darkness, Lord Lan Shan’s vision was met with brightness.

It was dazzling from the light of the spiritual stones.

In the entire grotto, more than half of the space was filled with spiritual stones of excellent quality, and the remaining half contained precious spiritual resources. Spiritual herbs, magical artifacts, mental cultivation techniques, and secret manuals—everything was available.

[How about that? I didn’t lie to you. Cang Wu can’t give you these things.] The Spirit King spoke with a hint of pride.

Lord Lan Shan was excited but then disappointed. “I wish Cang Wu were here.”

Spirit King: “…”

Hua Yuan looked at her downcast expression, her face instantly stiffening, and she moved even further away.

What does that mean? She’s still not satisfied?

“Without the Seed of Life, even with all these things, one cannot break through the realm.”

[Do you think breaking through is that easy? Even in the Realm of Guixu, with your aptitude, it would take more than ten years to reach the Great Perfection of the Clear Soul Realm.] The Spirit King scoffed coldly. [You lack self-awareness.]

Lord Lan Shan: “…”

Why the sudden change in attitude?
