Training the Villain to Become a Big Sister Obsessed - Chapter 26

The translation maintains the original narrative flow, using appropriate context-driven pronouns and names:

Cang Wu followed her Senior Sister for several blocks. She now had a fox wood carving hanging from her waist, a furry hat on her head, and even her sword sheath was adorned with fur.

She realized her Senior Sister truly loved fluffy things.

“Ha!”

Two oversized cat paws suddenly appeared in her vision. Cang Wu blinked and saw the cat paws slowly open to reveal Senior Sister’s face. The woman’s smile was clear and refreshing, like a spring breeze, with starlight shimmering in her eyes.

Cang Wu’s eyes stared intently. The corners of her mouth gradually lifted as well.

Seeing that Cang Wu wasn’t scared at all by her appearance and was instead smiling so brightly at her, Lan Shan Jun lightly coughed twice and removed the large cat paw coverings, intending to appear more composed.

“Senior Sister, is that enough?” Cang Wu asked her.

Lan Shan Jun placed the removed paw covers onto Cang Wu’s hands, then smiled with satisfaction: “Enough, enough.”

If her Junior Sister were a little demon, she would definitely be a fluffy monster.

How cute.

“Let’s go to the Vermillion Bird Hall. Ling Guang said the Nirvana Feather (Niepan zhi Yu) is ready.”

Cang Wu obediently nodded: “Mm.”

The Senior Sister and Junior Sister turned towards the direction of the Vermillion Bird Hall. Two people walked towards them; Lan Shan Jun remembered them—they were the disciples from the Thousand Poisons Valley (Qian Du Gu) from the Life and Death Realm competition that day.

Thousand Poisons Valley is located in the Xun Realm, which is also the dividing line between the East and North among the Four Directions. Most disciples in the sect are Medical Cultivators, but they specialize in Poison Medicine. Half of the strange poisons in the Four Seas and Eight Realms originated from them.

It is an unlikable Immortal Sect, and also an indecisive one. Although the Thousand Poisons Sect is situated on the dividing line, its location leans toward the White Tiger Hall. Previously, when the White Tiger Hall obtained the Fu Xi Qin (Guqin), the Thousand Poisons Valley had shown considerable goodwill, but recently they have been frequently visiting the Azure Dragon Hall.

Simply put, they are fence-sitters.

Lan Shan Jun had a deeper impression of one of them; she also possessed the Wind Spiritual Root and used poison within the wind.

As they approached, Mu Liu naturally noticed the two sisters from Yang Gu across the way. The moment she saw Cang Wu, it reminded her of the humiliation of conceding defeat and stepping off the stage in the Life and Death Realm competition that day.

Mu Liu secretly gritted her teeth. Seeing Mu Fu An ahead carrying a pile of things, she stuck out her leg and kicked the back of her knee.

“Useless! You can’t even hold this much stuff.”

Mu Fu An didn’t react in time, her knee buckled, and she fell directly to the ground. She couldn’t manage her legs in time; the items in her hands seemed to have eyes and were thrown directly towards the two people diagonally ahead.

“Be careful!”

Because she was wearing the cat paw covers, Cang Wu’s movement to draw her sword was momentarily slow. By the time she grasped the hilt, her Senior Sister’s hand had already pressed down.

“Be careful, there might be poison inside.”

The flying objects included some vials and jars; Lan Shan Jun had to remain extra vigilant.

Just as the items were about to hit, a sinister smile curled at Mu Liu’s lips.

“Smash—”

The surrounding wind stopped for a split second, then in the next moment, it circled around one person. As it passed Mu Liu, it brushed her face as if delivering a harsh slap.

Mu Liu was stunned for a long time. She was an extremely rare Wind Spiritual Root holder in the Four Seas and Eight Realms; only she ever controlled the wind. Now, she had been slapped by the wind itself. This was even more unacceptable to her than conceding defeat that day.

The Sun Cloud Pattern on her garment moved with the wind. Lan Shan Jun stood in front of Cang Wu, intercepting all the objects in mid-air.

Mu Fu An struggled to her feet, limping slightly, and rushed over, apologizing with a flushed face: “Sorry, sorry, sorry.”

“It’s fine.”

Lan Shan Jun controlled the wind, intending to return the items to her, but halfway through, she felt resistance; someone was controlling the surrounding wind force in the opposite direction.

A smile appeared on Lan Shan Jun’s face—this one had kicked an iron plate.

She had activated her cheat ability (jin zhuji).

Ignoring the other party’s petty actions, Lan Shan Jun controlled the wind to gently drop all the vials and jars into Mu Fu An’s arms, without a single item tilting or losing control from start to finish.

Mu Liu stared wide-eyed with shock. She looked at her own hands in disbelief. Her spiritual power was still there, but why could she no longer command the wind?

“Thank you,” Mu Fu An said, hugging the items.

Lan Shan Jun nodded slightly, not forgetting to urge: “Be more careful.”

“Let’s go,” Lan Shan Jun turned her head to say to her Junior Sister.

Cang Wu nodded.

As the two passed Mu Liu, **Cang Wu lagged a step behind her Senior Sister. A side glance at the enraged Mu Liu revealed a smile full of mockery.

She was smiling specifically for Mu Liu to see. Mu Liu saw it, and the words Cang Wu spoke to her in the Life and Death Realm competition suddenly flashed in her mind—

【You are not as formidable as my Senior Sister.】

Originally, she didn’t grasp the full meaning of those words. It turned out her Senior Sister was also a Wind Spiritual Root holder!

How hateful!

A series of failures made her ashamed and angry, causing her to vent her frustration onto Mu Fu An over there.

“Mu Fu An!”

The angry voice reached Lan Shan Jun’s ears, causing her to pause. Bullying scenes happen everywhere.

She suddenly recalled that in the original novel, Cang Wu was also repeatedly bullied by the original Yuan Shen (Original Spirit/Body Owner) at the beginning. Would she also endure being beaten, scolded, and humiliated like this Mu Fu An?

Lan Shan Jun pursed her lips, then spoke softly: “Cang Wu, if someone bullies you, remember to fight back.”

“No one is allowed to bully you.”

Cang Wu hugged her Senior Sister’s arm with both fluffy paws, her smile radiant, her eyes dependent. She said: “I have Senior Sister, so no one will bully me.”

Lan Shan Jun smiled and stroked her cheek: “That’s right.”

“You two are certainly different from the disciples of Yang Gu I am familiar with.”

A human voice came from behind them, tinged with dissatisfaction toward the two.

Lan Shan Jun and Cang Wu turned around. The Young Master of the White Tiger Hall, Xiao Jiu, was walking over slowly.

Lan Shan Jun’s eyes moved slightly as she caught the trace of spiritual energy released at the corner of the other’s robe—this Young Master had just fought someone.

On the night of the banquet, Ling Guang had made friends with a cup of wine, but in reality, they had no real friendship with this Young Master; it was hard to call them friends.

“Young Master,” Lan Shan Jun addressed her respectfully to show propriety.

Xiao Jiu clearly had the same thought; she wasn’t surprised by Lan Shan Jun’s address. After nodding in acknowledgment, her attitude was much colder than that night.

“I know your Senior Sister, Xie Qing Shuang. We traveled together for a while; she often stepped in to help when she saw injustice. She is a truly upright person. I had thought all disciples of Yang Gu would have such character.” Xiao Jiu’s words had a hidden meaning. “Now, it seems I generalized too quickly.”

Upon hearing this, Lan Shan Jun countered: “Did Young Master teach that disciple from the Thousand Poisons Valley a lesson?”

“Although I dislike the conduct of the Thousand Poisons Valley, I could not stand by and watch them bully a fellow sect member like you two did,” Xiao Jiu snorted coldly.

Lan Shan Jun sighed and glanced in the direction where Mu Fu An and the other person had left: “I hope that child won’t be too sad when she returns.”

Xiao Jiu frowned; the way Lan Shan Jun spoke made it sound as if she were the one who had erred.

“What do you mean?”

Lan Shan Jun spoke slowly: “They are fellow disciples; they are together every day. If Young Master taught that disciple a lesson just now, it might only incite her anger more. After Young Master leaves, where will that anger be directed?”

Xiao Jiu’s expression froze; she belatedly realized there was some sense in what the other was saying.

“But since you saw it, shouldn’t you do something?” Xiao Jiu’s tone softened considerably, and her negative opinion of the two sisters lessened accordingly.

“That child has likely been bullied for a long time,” Lan Shan Jun suddenly asked: “Did Young Master watch the final day’s Life and Death Realm ring matches?”

Xiao Jiu shook her head and explained: “I arrived late. When I reached Bu Ye Cheng, I only heard that someone broke through their realm on the final stage.”

“That child, although a disciple of Thousand Poisons Valley, is actually a Talisman Cultivator.”

Xiao Jiu was surprised: “She is a Talisman Cultivator!?”

Lan Shan Jun nodded slightly: “She is a Talisman Cultivator, and her strength is not weak. If she genuinely fought the person bullying her, it wouldn’t necessarily be clear who would win.”

A hint of confusion appeared in Xiao Jiu’s eyes, as she seemed unable to grasp the main point from Lan Shan Jun’s circuitous words.

Lan Shan Jun noticed the confusion in her gaze.

“…”

Lan Shan Jun made her words clearer: “The reason she is being bullied is not because she is weaker than the other party; there is some reason that forces her to endure this.”

“If Young Master wants to help, you should first resolve her inner knot.”

Xiao Jiu opened her mouth, and after realizing the meaning, she gave Lan Shan Jun a solemn bow: “I was inconsiderate with my words just now; please forgive me.”

Lan Shan Jun performed a gesture of support from a distance: “Young Master has a kind nature, but some things are not as they appear on the surface, making them hard to see through.”

Xiao Jiu’s expression showed some frustration. She thought about the similar ‘good deeds’ she had done during her travels and training before, but thinking about it now, perhaps those acts were not good things for those people at all. She had been pleased with herself, which was embarrassing.

“Do you still want to help?” Lan Shan Jun asked with a smile.

Xiao Jiu waved her hand: “Helping someone when passing by is one thing, but helping further would seem like meddling. Since that child has the ability to resist, it’s up to her when she is willing to step out on her own.”

After speaking, Xiao Jiu sincerely looked at Lan Shan Jun: “Don’t call me Young Master anymore; my name is Xiao Jiu.”

Lan Shan Jun smiled faintly: “Lan Shan Jun. This is my Junior Sister, Cang Wu.”

This was considered a re-introduction.

Xiao Jiu laughed heartily: “Lan Shan is meticulous and thoughtful. I have learned a lesson today; I will certainly consider things more carefully in my future actions.”

Saying this, the Young Master glimpsed the fox wood carving on Cang Wu’s waist out of the corner of her eye, her playful nature surfacing. Both her hands also transformed into large cat paws and touched Cang Wu’s.

Cang Wu: “?”

Xiao Jiu wiggled her paws and smiled at Cang Wu: “Mine are real, you know.”

Cang Wu’s brow twitched. She quickly looked at her Senior Sister.

Lan Shan Jun’s hand was already stroking Xiao Jiu’s paw, her eyes almost sparkling.

The hand inside the fake paw silently clenched tighter.

Lan Shan Jun murmured while stroking it, lamenting that she hadn’t gotten to pet such a big cat yet.

Cang Wu tried to endure it, but finally couldn’t hold back. She took Senior Sister’s hand away from the boundary-less cat’s paw.

“Senior Sister, the Vermillion Bird Hall is about to close.”

Lan Shan Jun remembered the main task and reluctantly withdrew her gaze from the cat paws, bidding Xiao Jiu farewell.

On the way, Cang Wu silently took off all the fluffy items on her body, leaving only the small wooden fox carving hanging at her waist.

In front of the main hall, they ran into Ming Yu, who had also come to collect the Nirvana Feather.

Ming Yu’s complexion was somewhat pale, as if she were just recovering from a serious illness. When she saw Cang Wu, a murderous glint flashed in her eyes.

Lan Shan Jun: “?”

Did she see wrong?

They only fought once; why did she also have such a strong negative opinion of Cang Wu?

Or perhaps, regardless of any past grudges, the protagonist and the villain were destined to be adversaries.

Just as Lan Shan Jun was preparing to give the female protagonist a polite smile, she suddenly heard the female protagonist ask her: “Do you two know where Xie Qing Shuang is?”

“?”

Lan Shan Jun was stunned.

Hadn’t the day of their first meeting not arrived yet? How did she know her? What had she missed?

“You know Senior Sister Xie?” Lan Shan Jun asked.

Ming Yu frowned. Forget it. Since that person named Xie said she wouldn’t die, why should she bother asking her sect members about her death? If she ever found out she had asked, she’d probably cling to her relentlessly.

“I don’t know her,” Ming Yu said coldly. “I’ve only heard the name.”

Lan Shan Jun breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Cang Wu, who had been slightly lowering her head to the side, slowly raised the corners of her mouth.

So it was you.
