Training the Villain to Become a Big Sister Obsessed - Chapter 41

“She just broke through a realm and survived the lightning tribulation,” Ling Guang’s brow furrowed, and her fingers subconsciously twisted together.

“Lan Shan.”

Elder Xue beside her flashed a look of admiration. The rules of Qing Yun Academy could not be broken; though seemingly ruthless, it allowed her to witness the child’s resilience and determination.

This is a rare, excellent student.

“Is she Xing Yuan’s disciple?” Elder Xue asked Ling Guang beside her.

Ling Guang was startled: “Xing Yuan?”

Who is that?

Elder Xue smiled faintly and corrected herself: “Is she the Eastern Lord’s disciple?”

Ling Guang nodded, guessing that Xing Yuan must have been the Eastern Lord’s former name, which juniors like them naturally wouldn’t know.

The figure in the water mirror was covered in tribulation injuries, taking every step with extreme difficulty and slowness, yet with unwavering conviction.

Lan Shan Jun saw Cang Wu constantly moving as if to support her out of the corner of her eye. She laughed lightly, her voice weak but clearly audible: “The lightning tribulation is over. My injuries only look frightening; they are not that serious.”

Every time a cultivator transcends a tribulation, it is a rebirth. The injuries sustained during the lightning tribulation are supposed to be healed by the spiritual grace that descends with the final bolt.

Lan Shan Jun simply felt very tired.

Cang Wu hesitated and lowered her hand. She didn’t dare to rashly transfer spiritual energy to her Senior Sister on the steps. Headmaster Xuan had mentioned before leaving that on the last five hundred steps of the Three Thousand Steps, a person would receive a hundredfold the pressure for every bit of spiritual energy they received from others.

The two walked up one after the other. The scars on Lan Shan Jun’s body actually began to heal and fade at a visible speed.

With every step she took, spiritual energy on the Three Thousand Steps eagerly rushed into her body. However, Lan Shan Jun did not feel the heavy pressure from this spiritual energy, as if it rightfully belonged to her.

At the same time, Cang Wu once again sensed a spiritual essence with the same origin emanating from her Senior Sister.

Why would her Senior Sister have the scent of a dragon on her?

Cang Wu closely followed her Senior Sister’s side, certain that the essence that had just leaked out belonged to the Dragon Clan, but it definitely wasn’t hers.

Cang Wu’s eyes darkened as she looked at her Senior Sister’s profile. Could there be another dragon around Senior Sister?

The energy with the same origin disappeared in an instant. By the time Cang Wu tried to discern it clearly, it was gone.

At the last hundred steps, Lan Shan Jun saw Ling Guang and Mo Huai Sheng frantically waving at her from above.

Their voices grew louder with each shout:

“Lan Shan!”

“Lan Shan!!”

“Lan Shan!!!”

The smile on her face unconsciously broadened, and Lan Shan Jun’s pace quickened.

Taking two steps forward, Lan Shan Jun turned back to look at Cang Wu, her smile bright and radiant: “Junior Sister, let’s go up together.”

Cang Wu, who had been lost in thought, suddenly looked up and was caught by that smile. The beating frequency of her heart instantly sped up.

She opened her mouth, and it took a while for one word to come out: “Okay.”

As soon as Lan Shan Jun’s figure appeared before them, Elder Xue had already dismissed the water mirror. Lan Shan Jun naturally did not know that everything that had just happened was watched by these people.

Crossing the final step, Ling Guang was nearly in tears. She spread her arms.

Lan Shan Jun walked right into the embrace.

The two hugged each other.

“I told you, I was sure I could make it up,” Lan Shan Jun patted Ling Guang’s back.

Ling Guang sniffled: “Lan Shan, you are too amazing.”

Fighting a soul battle, then transcending a tribulation, and then still having to climb the steps.

Lan Shan Jun said, “Of course,” then released her. Ling Guang turned and leaned on Song Qing Cheng’s shoulder to wipe her tears.

Song Qing Cheng seemed accustomed to this. After all, this young Vermillion Bird would often be moved to tears even by simple storybooks.

“Alright, now that you’ve all arrived, I will take you into the academy.”

Lan Shan Jun looked over and saw an unfamiliar face she hadn’t met before.

Elder Xue saw her gaze and introduced herself: “I am Elder Xue Fu You of Qing Yun Academy. You may call me Elder Xue.”

Lan Shan Jun bowed to her: “Elder Xue.”

Elder Xue nodded, smiling as she looked at Lan Shan Jun.

The snowy white whisk swept across the front of the group. The Three Thousand Steps they had just ascended vanished completely. The piled-up clouds obediently changed shape, finally forming a Cloud Boat.

“Let’s go.”

Stepping onto the Cloud Boat, one could still see the clouds flowing and shifting.

Ling Guang and Mo Huai Sheng were both extremely amazed.

Ling Guang pulled Song Qing Cheng, looking here and there: “Qing Cheng, Qing Cheng, look how high we’re flying! Is that the Qian Realm below? It looks quite different from the Li Realm.”

Song Qing Cheng was helpless, yet Ling Guang was the only person for whom she wouldn’t disdainfully look away when she spoke such things.

“Among the Eight Realms, only the Qian and Kun Realms encompass the four seasons of heaven and earth. The other realms are vastly different.”

Ling Guang leaned over the edge of the Cloud Boat, looking into the distance, her heart filled with longing: “I really want to see all of them.”

Song Qing Cheng looked at her and replied without hesitation: “In the future, I will accompany you to visit all the other realms.”

The Young Master of Fu Yu Island gave her word of gold. Ling Guang excitedly hugged her.

Young Master Mo on the side saw this and reluctantly retreated to sit next to Zhao Chen.

Elder Xue was also a tea lover and got along well with Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen even brought out the Lotus Heart Tea that Lan Shan Jun had given her last time.

Elder Xue smelled it and immediately knew it was finely cultivated, high-quality Three-Heart Blue Lotus, praising it repeatedly and saying she hadn’t tasted this tea in many years.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chen quickly gave the rest of it to Elder Xue.

Mo Huai Sheng had experienced the power of this tea and was highly suspicious of Zhao Chen’s intention in bringing it out.

Surely she wasn’t being intentional?

She looked suspiciously at Zhao Chen, twirling the short flute in her hand.

“Young Master Mo,” Elder Xue suddenly called her.

Mo Huai Sheng heard this and bowed slightly in respect. Every Elder in Qing Yun Academy represented the past of the Four Seas and Eight Realms. Even the current Four Hall Masters had to treat them with courtesy.

“Elder Xue.”

Elder Xue smiled warmly: “I remember that the Listening Snow Tower has a melody called Forget Worries.”

Mo Huai Sheng: “Yes, it is a piece that every disciple of the Listening Snow Tower must learn.”

Elder Xue nodded: “Then please, Young Master Mo, play the melody with your short flute.”

Mo Huai Sheng didn’t ask why. If an elder requested something, she simply complied.

She placed the short flute to her lips. As Mo Huai Sheng’s fingers moved, a warm, melodious flute sound rose, spreading with gentle spiritual energy fluctuations, calming the heart and settling the spirit.

Forget Worries, as the name suggested, was a tranquilizing melody with healing effects.

Inside the Cloud Boat’s cabin, Cang Wu frowned when she heard the flute, but after sensing the soothing peace in the music, her expression softened.

“Senior Sister, sleep well.”

Lan Shan Jun on the bed was sound asleep. She slept until the next day.

When she opened her eyes, she felt an unprecedented sense of comfort and fulfillment.

Not just her body, but even her soul was significantly stabilized.

The clothes on her body had been replaced with a new set, no longer the white-gold sun and cloud patterns of the Yang Gu uniform, but a water-blue and grassy-green outfit—a style of robe she had never seen before.

“A Qing Yun Academy uniform?” Lan Shan Jun sat up and looked at it, muttering: “It’s not as good-looking as Yang Gu’s.”

This Qing Yun Academy outfit made her feel like a plant spirit; it was too closely aligned with nature.

She got up and walked toward the door, but before she could take a step out, an arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her back in.

Lan Shan Jun was startled. She looked at Cang Wu, who had suddenly appeared, in confusion: “What’s wrong?”

Cang Wu’s hand was still resting on the woman’s waist, her heart still shaken: “Senior Sister almost stepped into the void just now.”

“Stepped into the void?”

Lan Shan Jun voiced her confusion, then glanced outside the door. Only then did she realize the house was suspended in mid-air. Opening the door revealed layers of flat clouds, and she could faintly see the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas below.

Qing Yun Academy is in the sky!?

Lan Shan Jun was somewhat shocked. She looked back at Cang Wu and saw that she, too, was wearing a Qing Yun Academy uniform, but her hair seemed curlier than before, and the small curls at the ends were tinged with a slight blue-green color.

It actually looks quite nice.

“How did you get this done?” Lan Shan Jun pinched a lock of Cang Wu’s small curls.

Cang Wu’s eyes darted away quickly, and her voice was quieter: “Headmaster Xuan did it.”

Headmaster Xuan had placed a new restriction on her, which could suppress her complete dragon transformation and her heat cycle but also preserve a bit of her dragon appearance. Just like Ling Guang, who is a Vermillion Bird, her eyes and hair are crimson, possessing a demonic nature.

As for the restriction left by the Eastern Lord, Headmaster Xuan had found it distasteful and removed it directly.

“Headmaster Xuan?” Lan Shan Jun remembered the person on the Three Thousand Steps and felt a moment of incredulity.

This Headmaster is truly multi-talented.

“It looks very good,” Lan Shan Jun was never stingy with compliments.

It was just that she wondered if it was her imagination, but after she said this, the color at the tips of Cang Wu’s hair seemed to deepen, and it even seemed to be extending upwards.

“Senior Sister, Headmaster Xuan wishes to see you.”

Lan Shan Jun nodded: “Alright.”

Cang Wu led Lan Shan Jun toward Headmaster Xuan’s residence. Along the way, Lan Shan Jun finally saw the physical appearance of Qing Yun Academy.

The entire academy was composed of floating clouds. The houses moved, the paths moved, and even the cloud-shaped flowers, grass, and trees would drift away.

This place was like an illusory dream. If Lan Shan Jun hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she would find it hard to imagine this sight.

Cang Wu stopped, her expression confused: “It was just here a moment ago.”

Headmaster Xuan’s Cloud Residence was also nowhere to be seen.

Cang Wu looked around and found the drifting Cloud Residence.

“Senior Sister, come.”

Lan Shan Jun followed Cang Wu. Headmaster Xuan’s Cloud Residence had more colors than the others, resembling a light rainbow.

Standing in front of the Cloud Residence, Lan Shan Jun raised her hand to bow toward the door.

“Headmaster Xuan.”

The door of the Cloud Residence opened automatically, and a voice came through: “Lan Shan, you may come in alone.”

Lan Shan Jun glanced at Cang Wu and gently patted her hand.

Cang Wu acted very obediently: “Senior Sister, I’ll wait for you.”

After Lan Shan Jun went in alone, the Cloud Residence door closed again.

Although it’s a house made of clouds, the sound insulation must be excellent.

“Headmaster Xuan,” Lan Shan Jun maintained the utmost courtesy.

Headmaster Xuan acknowledged her: “Have a seat.”

Lan Shan Jun did not decline and sat down on a nearby cloud-chair.

Headmaster Xuan looked at her, smiling sweetly.

“How do you feel?”

Lan Shan Jun answered truthfully: “Very well.”

Her body and spirit had recovered perfectly. She had initially expected to lie half-dead for a while.

“I am asking, what do you think of this world?”

Lan Shan Jun’s eyes widened.

Was Headmaster Xuan’s question a double entendre?

Given Headmaster Xuan’s ability, she must know about the fight between her and Lan Yan on the Three Thousand Steps. Did she see that she wasn’t from this world, or did she think she had possessed Lan Yan?

Lan Shan Jun pondered how to answer the question.

After a moment, she gave the same reply—

“Very well.”

Headmaster Xuan smiled, completely skipping the topic, and moved on: “Xing Yuan gave you the Chaos Map.”

The Chaos Map. Xing Yuan in Headmaster Xuan’s mouth must be her Master.

Lan Shan Jun understood quickly and nodded: “Yes.”

Since Headmaster Xuan asked, she must already know.

In just two meetings, Lan Shan Jun’s impression of Headmaster Xuan had reached its peak. She seems to be omniscient. Is this what an Immortal is like?

“Good. Remember to copy the Serenity Mantra for two hours every day.”

Lan Shan Jun: “…”

The filter is broken.

Why do I have to copy it here too? And it’s one hour more!

Headmaster Xuan saw her stiff expression and chuckled: “This was originally your Master’s task to copy. Since she gave you the Chaos Map, you will copy it now.”

Lan Shan Jun: “…”

Can this also be inherited?
