Training the Villain to Become a Big Sister Obsessed - Chapter 118

Seeing that Cang Wu had no reaction, Hua Yuan pressed on, “If Qing Rong is not your mother, then who is she to you?”

Cang Wu broke free of her grasp, rudely slapping her away with a palm strike, and said impatiently, “What Qing Rong? Never heard of her.”

“Never heard of her?”

Hua Yuan immediately denied it. “Impossible! Qing Rong’s natural jade-like quality and peerless talent, moreover, she was a Hall Master! How could you not have heard of her?”

“Hall Master?” Cang Wu’s thoughts turned over once. She guessed that the Qing Rong mentioned by this flower demon might be the Azure Dragon Hall Master.

The current Azure Dragon Hall Master was Yun Chi, and no one had ever mentioned any past Azure Dragon Hall Masters. This Qing Rong was likely already deceased.

“Yes, she was the Azure Dragon Hall Master.” Hua Yuan looked at Cang Wu, full of anticipation. “Have you heard of her?”

Cang Wu’s expression was faint: “No.”

Whether this person was alive or dead, what did it have to do with her?

“Where exactly is my Senior Sister?”

The light faded from Hua Yuan’s eyes: “Qing Rong, I’ve waited for you for so many years, why didn’t you come to find me?”

Cang Wu had even less interest in watching her speak to herself like a lost soul. She said in a displeased tone, “If she won’t come to you, won’t you go find her? Your legs are on your own body. Just waiting, can you really wait for a flower to bloom?”

Hua Yuan heard this sentence, and her expression immediately became bitter.

Lin Shen slowly approached Cang Wu and whispered, “The demonic beasts in the Realm of Guixu can’t leave this place. Senior Qing Rong is from the Four Seas, so…”

So Hua Yuan could only wait for Qing Rong to come find her; she had no way to go out and search for her.

Cang Wu pursed her lips, able to understand some of Hua Yuan’s current helplessness and powerlessness. Her tone softened slightly: “I really haven’t heard of this person Qing Rong. The current Azure Dragon Hall Master of the Four Seas is called Yun Chi. Therefore, can you tell me my Senior Sister’s whereabouts?”

Hua Yuan’s eyes shifted, the names Qing Rong and Yun Chi echoing in her ears.

The words that person had spoken long ago resurfaced: “Among the Four Directions, only the Azure Dragon lineage is passed down singly, protected by the Heavenly Dao, and granted a name by the Heavenly Dao. My name is Qing Rong, the Azure Dragon Hall Master, and the next Hall Master’s name will be Yun Chi.”

At that time, when she heard Qing Rong say that the little dragon’s name had already been decided, she had been upset for quite some time and had sulked with Qing Rong.

Hearing the name that had once been mentioned, Hua Yuan’s tears instantly fell.

She raised a hand to cover her face and started crying.

Cang Wu: “…”

Could she please say where her Senior Sister was before crying.

Lin Shen looked at Cang Wu, then moved two steps to Hua Yuan’s side and quietly comforted her: “Elder Sister Hua Yuan, Senior Qing Rong might have been delayed by something. She is a woman of her word and will definitely come to keep her promise.”

Lin Shen hadn’t actually met Qing Rong, but having heard Hua Yuan speak so highly of her, she felt that Qing Rong was the best person in the heavens and on earth.

Shedding tears in front of a junior made Hua Yuan feel a little ashamed. She slightly blushed, turned her back, raised her hand to wipe her tears, and only turned back after calming herself.

“Your Senior Sister is beneath the Flying Cloud Ravine (Feiyun Jian).” Hua Yuan handed Cang Wu a petal. “It can guide you there.”

Cang Wu was ready to take the petal and leave, but Hua Yuan did not release her hand.

Hua Yuan looked at the young man’s features before her, trying to find a shadow of the person who had made her heart feel joy all those years ago. But no matter how she looked, these sharp features held none of Qing Rong’s tenderness.

Still, she was Qing Rong’s descendant, and Hua Yuan’s heart softened.

“Cang Wu,” Hua Yuan reminded her, “that Senior Sister of yours, she is not a good person. You must be careful.”

Cang Wu was displeased, giving Hua Yuan a cold stare.

“What, you want to fight me again?” Hua Yuan let go. “She has a formidable object on her person. I have said what I must; whether you believe it is up to you.”

Cang Wu scoffed, clutching the petal, and headed toward the Flying Cloud Ravine as directed.

Lin Shen watched wistfully as Cang Wu disappeared into the dense fog. Her head was suddenly patted.

She looked up: “Elder Sister Hua Yuan.”

“Do you want to follow her?” Hua Yuan saw the reluctance in Lin Shen’s eyes and gently rubbed her fluffy hair. “You came out this time to find the Seed of Life for Grandma Teng, right? You are truly bold. Do you know that if you are discovered, they won’t just be fighting over the Seed of Life?”

Lin Shen lowered her head and murmured, “But without the Seed of Life, Grandma Teng…”

Hua Yuan often visited the Vine Forest and knew Grandma Teng’s situation. She sighed and said, “I’ll go with you.”

Lin Shen’s eyes lit up, and she immediately threw herself into Hua Yuan’s arms: “Thank you, Elder Sister Hua Yuan!”

Hua Yuan laughed lightly.

As the two were walking in the opposite direction of the Flying Cloud Ravine, several explosive sounds suddenly rang out around them. Several streams of sword qi crisscrossed into a net and sliced toward them from within the dense fog.

Hua Yuan grabbed Lin Shen with one hand and instantly transformed into countless petals, slipping directly through the gaps between the sword qi.

The petals reformed into a human shape. Hua Yuan shielded Lin Shen, looking with ill intent at the group of people who emerged from the fog.

Lin Shen looked at the leading woman and instantly became angry, pointing a finger: “It’s you again!”

Shen Hui curved her eyes into a smile: “I finally managed to catch you leaving the Vine Forest, so of course, I had to follow you every step of the way.”

“Who are you, and what are you planning by chasing my child?” Hua Yuan observed Shen Hui with the demeanor of an elder. This time, the petals surrounding her held none of the teasing intent she used against Cang Wu; they were brimming with killing intent.

The people behind Shen Hui felt the pressure emanating from Hua Yuan and showed signs of retreating and fear: “The Three Suns Alignment is almost here. We don’t need to catch her anymore, do we?”

Shen Hui glanced at her coldly, and the person immediately lowered her head, not daring to speak.

“What about the Three Suns Alignment? Even if there are twelve Seeds of Life, do you think you can get them from the hands of half the demonic beasts and cultivators in the Realm of Guixu?” Shen Hui flicked her wrist, and a blood-soaked blade was grasped in her hand.

Feeling the surging power transmitted through the hilt of the blade, Shen Hui’s eyes suddenly became pitch-black like ink, and her voice carried an unnatural quality, as if overlapping with the voice of another person: “Moreover, with me here, what is there to fear?”

“Attack.”

“Once we capture the White Marsh, the Seed of Life will surely be ours.”

Upon hearing Shen Hui’s words, those people’s eyes immediately shone brightly. They had waited for too long. The Realm of Guixu had pure spiritual energy and numerous treasures, but even with these, they could only count the days until they could cultivate. The days of being able to see but not consume were too torturous.

They needed the Seed of Life to break through their realms.

“Overestimating yourselves,” Hua Yuan scoffed. Petals rained down from the sky. With just one palm strike, she sent the few people who rushed forward flying backward.

The remaining onlookers all looked toward Shen Hui, waiting for her to act.

“Form the array!” Shen Hui shouted, then swung her blade directly at Hua Yuan.

Hua Yuan observed that Shen Hui’s cultivation had just broken through the Grand Void Realm (Taixu Jing) and didn’t pay her much attention.

The pitch-black long blade sliced through the air. Only when the blade’s wind hit her face did Hua Yuan realize that the blade’s aura was wrong.

This was no blade wind that a Grand Void Realm cultivator could wield. This single strike almost caused the Cloud Hidden Mountain range to tremble, and the wind and clouds suddenly shifted. A single strike capable of causing such terrestrial and atmospheric changes could probably only be delivered by a cultivator from the Immortal Realm of Guixu.

The moment of underestimation caused Hua Yuan to take the blow head-on. Her slender figure instantly scattered into petals, flying away, carrying Lin Shen with her in retreat.

The array suddenly activated, and the thick fog slowly dispersed. Hua Yuan shielded Lin Shen, watching Shen Hui warily.

Drops of warm blood fell onto Lin Shen’s face. She looked up, her eyes instantly turning red.

That single strike seemed to have directly severed one of Hua Yuan’s arms, and a deep blade mark was carved across her cheek. Only half of the flower that covered her face remained.

“Elder Sister Hua Yuan…”

Lin Shen choked: “Elder Sister Hua Yuan, I… I’m sorry. I dragged you into this.”

Hua Yuan pressed Lin Shen with one hand to keep her still, while her eyes scrutinized the blade in Shen Hui’s hand.

Shen Hui herself was not strong; the blade in her hand was simply too strange.

“Lin Shen, I will hold them off. You go find Lord Lan Shan; she can protect you.”

“Elder Sister Hua Yuan!” Lin Shen cried, shaking her head. “I’ll go with Shen Hui. They want the Seed of Life; they won’t kill me.”

Hua Yuan forced a petal into Lin Shen’s hand, forcefully broke through the array, and sent the girl out.

The backlash from the array hit her body, and Hua Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood. She controlled the swirling petals with one hand, preventing the pursuing cultivators from catching up.

These cultivators were not difficult to deal with; she had to face Shen Hui.

Shen Hui pointed the blade at Hua Yuan, standing stiffly like a marionette: “Seeking death.”

Hua Yuan scoffed: “Your Excellency is sealed within the blade, yet you control another person’s body to boast. Your arrogance is truly thick.”

“Shen Hui” tilted her head. The pitch-black pupils reflected the image of another person: “You paltry flower demon, today is your day of death.”

Hua Yuan’s eyes darkened, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

This blade seals an ancient fiend. If they really start fighting, her chances of winning are slim.

“Shen Hui” advanced step by step, and the next moment, she raised the blade and slashed toward Hua Yuan.

The blade cut deep furrows into the ground. The petals appeared incredibly fragile before the cutting edge.

Hua Yuan dodged the strike, her face pale as paper. She glanced at her severed arm. Black smoke lingered around the wound, completely preventing her from regenerating flesh and blood.

She forced a self-mocking smile onto her lips. The Everlasting Flower had actually fallen to the point where its wounds could not heal themselves.

“You are also a thousand-year-old great demon. Your primordial spirit must be much more nourishing than those cultivators for healing.”

“Shen Hui” looked at Hua Yuan as if she were a precious spiritual herb or pill.

Hua Yuan involuntarily took a step back, cold sweat dripping from her forehead. This ancient fiend wants to devour her primordial spirit.

Having escaped from Lord Lan Shan, she unexpectedly ran into another ancient fiend.

Qing Rong, I’m being bullied by an ancient fiend. Can you see me?

Tears welled up in her eyes. Hua Yuan grit her teeth, desperately trying to find a way to survive.

Black and white streaks of light darted through Cloud Hidden Mountain. The occasional spiritual power collisions caused the cultivators searching in the fog below to look up.

A wave of heat rushed toward them. The scorching temperature forced the dense fog to retreat, and the sunlight made it almost impossible for people to keep their eyes open.

“The Three Suns Alignment!”

“Ah! My eyes!”

“Are you crazy? You dare to look up during the Three Suns Alignment? If you look any longer, you’ll lose more than just your eyes.”

The Three Suns Alignment had arrived suddenly. Hua Yuan had no choice but to retreat into the forest.

She transformed into her original form and hid among the vegetation. The plants in Cloud Hidden Mountain all possessed spiritual sentience, and as she crouched down, they lent their strength to shield Hua Yuan.

“Shen Hui” chased into the vicinity. Her pupils instantly reverted to their original black and white color. She blinked, looking around in confusion.

“How did I get here?”

Shen Hui only remembered chasing Lin Shen, and then… and then picking up a blade.

The blade…

Shen Hui looked at her empty hands. Where was the blade?

Unable to figure out what was happening, Shen Hui heard the commotion in the distance and decided to head toward it.

The Three Suns Alignment had arrived, and the scramble for the Seed of Life had begun.

Only after Shen Hui left did Hua Yuan let out a sigh of relief. She transformed back into her human form and leaned against the tree, allocating some spiritual power to the vegetation that had just protected her.

“Thank you all.”

The pain in her arm made Hua Yuan feel weary. She closed her eyes, only to snap them open the next moment, her eyes filled with vigilance.

A person was standing in front of her, unnoticed until now.

“Who are you?”
