Training the Villain to Become a Big Sister Obsessed - Chapter 17

Xie Qing-shuang had long sensed the strand of sword energy left by the Eastern Lord on Lan Shan-jun, knowing she wouldn’t be injured. Her reappearance to block the blade was only because she feared this person (the attacker) might injure Lan Shan-jun unintentionally if Lan Shan-jun recklessly engaged due to the Eastern Lord’s sword energy.

“Lan Shan has sword energy left by the Eastern Lord,” Xie Qing-shuang stated by way of explanation.

Lan Shan-jun stubbornly detected a hint of gentleness in those words: “???”

Wrong, wrong, wrong!

Female Lead, why can you speak to others like that! Your destined match hasn’t even appeared yet!

“I will compensate you for your blade later,” Xie Qing-shuang continued speaking to the blade master, her voice carrying apology.

The next instant, a sharp blade swept horizontally toward her. Xie Qing-shuang blocked in front of her without drawing her sword. Frost and flame collided; the spiritual power shockwave from a Ming Hun Realm cultivator instantly halted the movements of the surrounding entangled Hundred-Eyed Scorpions and cultivators. Lan Shan-jun stood tall, but she couldn’t avoid tasting some blood in her mouth and nose.

“Unnecessary.” The blade master produced another blade from somewhere. She pressed Xie Qing-shuang, forcing her steadily backward. Spiritual energy burst forth, and killing intent filled the air.

Xie Qing-shuang frowned, keenly perceiving the movement behind her. Ming Yu was pushing her back toward Cang Wu and the Hundred-Eyed Scorpion King.

“What are you trying to do?”

While Ming Yu’s strike appeared vicious and merciless on the surface, it was only forcing Xie Qing-shuang to retreat; she didn’t truly intend to fight her to the death.

The thin lips under the cloak curved into a smile: “Didn’t you want to kill her? I’ll give you a hand.”

The blade and the scabbard grazed past each other, seemingly unintentional.

The sword energy momentarily flashed its sharpness, crossing with that blade to slash away the fatal blow.

At that moment, Cang Wu had just run her sword through the Hundred-Eyed Scorpion King’s shoulder, completely unaware of the danger behind her.

Ming Yu and Xie Qing-shuang brushed past each other. As the two neared, Ming Yu whispered near Xie Qing-shuang’s ear: “She is also your Junior Sister. Is the Path of Ruthlessness truly so cold-blooded and merciless?”

Warm breath grazed her ear, and Xie Qing-shuang’s hand gripping the sword tightened, her lips paling slightly, “No.”

Ming Yu had no interest in her answer. She tilted her head slightly, sensing that the strike from the blade and the sword seemed to have been blocked by someone.

In the few breaths between them passing by, Lan Shan-jun and another person simultaneously rushed toward Cang Wu. At the critical moment, Lan Shan-jun’s hand had just grasped the Hundred-Eyed Scorpion King, and her precious High-Grade Magical Artifact was already deployed, completely blocking that strike and sword attack, which had used nearly all their strength.

Mo Huai-sheng spat out the blood foam from her mouth; her limbs were trembling.

She hadn’t thought that far just now. She hadn’t had time to consider if she might die under such a blade and sword. But she was the Young Master of the Ting Xue Lou; her presence there today represented the entire Ting Xue Lou. She could not allow Yun Zhong to be destroyed by the Hundred-Eyed Scorpions, much less allow Bu Xian Xian to become the burial ground for the Sound Cultivators present.

“Young Master of Ting Xue Lou, brave indeed.”

Ming Yu left behind a sentence. Just then, the restriction on Yun Zhong was broken from the outside, and she needed to leave.

As for the Hundred-Eyed Scorpion King that accompanied her, they naturally parted ways when disaster struck. She was someone who never shared blessings or hardships.

Ming Yu used a teleportation formation to flee Bu Xian Xian. She turned back to find that tail still following her.

She stopped, her fingers clenching until they cracked.

“Chasing me around all day, what? Do you like me?” Ming Yu smiled coldly. Her cloak fluttered down, revealing her pale and gloomy face.

Xie Qing-shuang looked up at her: “If you want that, it’s also possible.”

Ming Yu: “……”

This madwoman had been chasing her for half a month. She couldn’t win in a fight and couldn’t shake her off—extremely annoying.

Inside Yun Zhong—

The Ting Xue Lou reinforcements arrived and cleaned up all the Hundred-Eyed Scorpions. The injured Sound Cultivators were also taken away for treatment.

Lan Shan-jun still felt lingering fear. Seeing that Cang Wu’s face was smeared with some blood, she reached out to wipe it clean for her.

Cang Wu obediently stayed still, only her eyes following her Senior Sister, and asked: “Why did Senior Sister try to grab the Scorpion King’s hand just now?”

Lan Shan-jun’s hand paused. If not for the immediate danger, she wouldn’t have grabbed it. “I couldn’t see at the time; I grabbed the wrong one.”

Cang Wu did not press further but pressed her face against Lan Shan-jun’s hand and rubbed it lightly: “Thank you, Senior Sister, for saving me.”

Lan Shan-jun’s eyelashes trembled slightly. Unconsciously, she recalled that moment. She hadn’t grabbed the wrong person; she had intended to use the Scorpion King to block that blade and sword strike.

“Junior Sister, come.”

Lan Shan-jun led Cang Wu to stand before Mo Huai-sheng. “This is the one we should thank.”

Cang Wu’s expression slightly softened. She noticed her Senior Sister bowing to the person before her and followed suit with a slight gesture.

“Thank you, Young Master Mo, for saving us.”

When Mo Huai-sheng saw the Yang Valley uniforms on the two, she knew they were the Yang Valley disciples who entered the city before her.

Her gaze lingered on Lan Shan-jun for a good while before she coughed and waved her hand, saying it was nothing.

Lan Shan-jun noticed Mo Huai-sheng’s pale complexion and, after some thought, offered the medicinal pills the Valley Master had given her before leaving the Valley.

Mo Huai-sheng seemed to be in a daze. Lan Shan-jun held her hand out for a long time before she accepted it, though she kept holding the delicate medicine bottle without consuming it.

“Fellow Immortal is too kind.” Mo Huai-sheng looked up and met those warm brown eyes, which felt like a spring breeze brushing against her face, causing her heart to beat a little faster.

“Senior Sister, we should leave now,” Cang Wu stepped forward, reached out to link Lan Shan-jun’s arm, and looked at Mo Huai-sheng with dark eyes.

Lan Shan-jun acknowledged her. They were only passing through Bu Xian Xian out of curiosity and hadn’t expected such an incident to occur.

Seeing them about to leave, Mo Huai-sheng quickly spoke up: “My hosting today was inadequate. Could we become friends? If you two come to Bu Xian Xian again in the future, please let me know, and I will definitely accompany you to ensure you have a wonderful time!”

Lan Shan-jun had a good impression of this Young Master; making friends rather than enemies was certainly a good thing.

“Lan Shan-jun of the Yang Valley. This is my Junior Sister, Cang Wu.”

Lan Shan-jun introduced herself again, still omitting the Eastern Lord. Before leaving, the Eastern Lord had specifically instructed her not to claim to be her disciple to outsiders unless absolutely necessary, looking displeased as if Lan Shan-jun was embarrassing her.

“Mo Huai-sheng of the Ting Xue Lou,” Mo Huai-sheng also formally introduced herself, then looked at Lan Shan-jun and tentatively asked: “Since we are friends, calling me Young Master is too distant. You can call me Huai-sheng directly. Then, what should I call…”

Lan Shan-jun understood her meaning and smiled warmly: “My surname is Lan Shan. Everyone in the Yang Valley just calls me Lan Shan.”

“Lan Shan,” Mo Huai-sheng smiled back.

Perhaps feeling that her attitude towards Lan Shan-jun was too special, Mo Huai-sheng shifted her gaze to the person beside Lan Shan-jun. When her eyes met the youth’s, her heart trembled uncontrollably. The dark, deep eyes looked like a bottomless abyss.

And her thoughts seemed to be easily seen through.

The two looked at each other without speaking a word. Lan Shan-jun had to step in to ease the tension: “My Junior Sister is new to leaving the Valley and doesn’t talk much. Young Master Mo… Huai-sheng, please don’t mind.”

Mo Huai-sheng shook her head.

As they spoke, the Ting Xue Lou Master also arrived—a sharp-eyed woman with a steady demeanor. She strode toward Mo Huai-sheng, and her tense expression eased upon seeing that her daughter was unharmed.

“Well done.”

Mo Huai-sheng’s expression remained unchanged; she didn’t show any happiness for her mother’s praise.

Mo Qiu noticed the two Yang Valley disciples to the side, gave a faint nod, and went to deal with the Hundred-Eyed Scorpion King.

The Hundred-Eyed Scorpions lived deep in the sea. Without someone plotting behind the scenes, they wouldn’t have reached the Eight Realms, much less an immortal city like Bu Xian Xian, which was far from the Four Seas.

Investigating the source was a matter for the Ting Xue Lou. Lan Shan-jun exchanged a few polite words with Mo Huai-sheng before leading Cang Wu away.

Above the clouds, Lan Shan-jun cast a minor spell to remove the blood stench from herself and Cang Wu. Seeing Cang Wu silent, she couldn’t help but sigh like a worried mother.

“Junior Sister, when you are out, be more bold and open.”

Cang Wu finally moved her eyes slightly, looking somewhat confused: “Senior Sister’s words are a little hard to understand.”

Lan Shan-jun murmured ‘Mmm’ and explained: “Talk more.”

After thinking, Lan Shan-jun added: “Talk more with others.”

“Why should I talk to others?” Cang Wu looked at her: “I have Senior Sister; that’s enough. I only want to talk to Senior Sister.”

Her heartbeat skipped a beat. Lan Shan-jun’s lips curled upwards.

Indeed, she hadn’t guessed wrong. Even though Cang Wu hadn’t gone mad yet, being able to become the final villain meant she harbored extreme possessiveness and dependence in her heart. The only difference was that in the original novel, the villain expressed her emotions toward the female lead. But now, it was different—

She is the villain’s only Senior Sister.
