Training the Villain to Become a Big Sister Obsessed - Chapter 42

“Headmaster Xuan,” Lan Shan Jun hesitated before asking: “Three months ago, I entered a secret realm and met a snake demon there. She seemed to have left an egg on my body. Does the Headmaster have a way to remove this egg from me?”

Headmaster Xuan couldn’t help but chuckle softly when she heard this: “A snake demon? An egg?”

The High Immortal’s laughter was clear and bright, with no hint of doubt. For a moment, Lan Shan Jun couldn’t figure out what the Headmaster was laughing at.

After she finished laughing, Headmaster Xuan slowly said: “She is not a snake demon. However, heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. I cannot tell you her identity.”

The continuation of the Four Divine Beasts’ bloodline has always been a secret.

“As for that egg, she is the reason you can exist in this world.” Headmaster Xuan didn’t make the explanation too clear but offered a reminder: “She will not harm you, and you don’t need to find a way to remove her.”

Lan Shan Jun felt disappointed, but mostly confused. She pondered Headmaster Xuan’s words.

Since I’ve asked, I might as well get a clear answer.

Lan Shan Jun spoke again: “Then what about the heat cycle? Isn’t it because of this egg that I also suffer from the snake demon’s… that demon’s heat?”

Headmaster Xuan: “That is a cause, but this situation will not happen again.”

The restriction she placed on Cang Wu is sufficient for her to mature enough to endure the heat cycle on her own.

Lan Shan Jun was thoroughly confused.

Headmaster Xuan smiled: “Leaving her bloodline origin on you was a last resort at the time. She might not even know herself that she lost an egg.”

Perhaps Cang Wu has already sensed the origin essence on Lan Shan Jun, but whether she can connect it to the egg will depend on her own realization.

Lan Shan Jun: “?”

“As for the specifics, I believe you will know everything the day you learn her identity.”

Lan Shan Jun opened her mouth and asked: “Will I meet her again?”

Headmaster Xuan nodded: “Naturally. Your fate is very solid.”

“…Solid.”

Lan Shan Jun twitched the corner of her mouth, unable to find the words.

Even if she’s not a snake, that big tail, all those scales… it can’t be anything good.

She would rather not have this fate.

“Lan Shan, let everything take its natural course. There is a fixed destiny.”

Lan Shan Jun smiled softly and said gently: “Headmaster, I believe in human effort.”

Human effort. Cang Wu will not become the villain, and Huan Huan did not perish. That is what she has achieved so far.

“Headmaster Xuan, Lan Shan is fine now.”

Headmaster Xuan nodded with a smile.

“Remember to copy the Serenity Mantra.”

Lan Shan Jun: “…”

Leaving the Headmaster’s Cloud Residence, Lan Shan Jun exhaled, and then saw Cang Wu standing tall and upright, waiting for her.

Her eyes curved down. Lan Shan Jun walked over and patted her Junior Sister’s shoulder, who was now the same height as herself.

“Let’s go.”

Cang Wu turned around. Her pale blue hair tips traced a beautiful arc in front of Lan Shan Jun, and her lightly curled long hair moved along with her.

Lan Shan Jun focused her gaze, inevitably captivated.

Setting aside how well-formed Cang Wu’s face was, just the slight curls and the hint of color at the hair ends…

Wow.

An impeccable beauty.

Truly beautiful.

After a quick appreciation, Lan Shan Jun restrained her expression when Cang Wu looked at her.

“Where are Ling Guang and the others?”

Cang Wu was unaware of her Senior Sister’s inner turmoil just now and honestly replied: “At the study hall.”

Lan Shan Jun curled her lips.

Fine. An academy should naturally have study halls.

Looking at the person beside her, Lan Shan Jun asked: “Then why aren’t you there?”

Cang Wu avoided her Senior Sister’s gaze, mumbling words that were difficult to hear clearly.

Lan Shan Jun narrowed her eyes. Skipping class?

After being stared at by her Senior Sister for a while, Cang Wu finally confessed everything.

“Elder Xue said Senior Sister was about to wake up. Ling Guang wanted to be the first to rush to Senior Sister, but I wanted Senior Sister to see me first.”

Lan Shan Jun: “And Ling Guang?”

Cang Wu: “Elder Xue caught her.”

Lan Shan Jun: “…”

That’s something Ling Guang would do.

“Don’t let it happen again,” Lan Shan Jun feigned anger.

Cang Wu nodded.

As a good Senior Sister, I should personally escort my Junior Sister to the study hall.

Lan Shan Jun led Cang Wu toward the study hall and bumped straight into Xie Qing Shuang, who was looking for them.

Before Lan Shan Jun could greet her with a surprised sound, she saw the protagonist’s gaze survey her from head to toe.

“?”

What is she looking at?

After her appraisal, a trace of a smile appeared on Xie Qing Shuang’s face.

“Lan Shan.”

Lan Shan Jun smiled back: “Senior Sister Xie, you’ve come too.”

Cang Wu beside her let out a small hmpf. Lan Shan Jun subtly tugged Cang Wu’s sleeve behind her back to show her displeasure.

Hmph what? This is the protagonist. We can’t afford to provoke her.

Xie Qing Shuang had never paid much attention to Cang Wu. After confirming that Lan Shan Jun had recovered, she turned around coldly.

“Elder Xue asked me to bring Cang Wu back. Lan Shan, you should come along too.”

“Okay.”

The study hall was not constructed from clouds as Lan Shan Jun had imagined, but rather in another space, like a small secret realm.

For a moment, Lan Shan Jun felt like she was back in the days at Yang Gu, being dragged by the Eastern Lord every day to cultivate.

The scene transformed by this study hall was a land of lava. Fierce flames erupted from the ground. The few remaining footholds were constantly being swallowed by the magma. New stones continuously appeared in mid-air, and the students in the study hall had to constantly ascend using these stones.

The rules: Arbitrary use of spiritual energy is allowed, weapons are forbidden, and any method that harms a fellow student is forbidden. Violators will be severely punished.

“Elder Xue, I’ve brought the people,” Xie Qing Shuang bowed to Elder Xue, who was seated leisurely nearby.

Lan Shan Jun bowed alongside her, glancing over to see that Cang Wu also made a bowing motion.

She was momentarily surprised, then filled with relief.

Elder Xue nodded her acknowledgment, waved the whisk in her hand, and swept the three of them into the space. Xie Qing Shuang’s and Cang Wu’s swords were also confiscated.

The intense heat hit their faces. Lan Shan Jun looked down and saw that the stone she was standing on was already mostly submerged in the magma.

In a moment of urgency, Lan Shan Jun directly grabbed Cang Wu and leaped up, using the power of the wind to step onto a higher stone.

“Lan Shan! Hurry up!”

It was Ling Guang’s voice.

Lan Shan Jun looked up and saw Ling Guang, Song Qing Cheng, and Zhao Chen all on the highest stone platform.

“Hold on tight.”

Lan Shan Jun was afraid Cang Wu would be uncomfortable, so she simply took her hand and placed it on her own waist, letting her embrace her.

With a few quick leaps, Lan Shan Jun brought Cang Wu to where Ling Guang and the others were.

Ling Guang chuckled: “Lan Shan’s Wind Spiritual Root makes it feel like she can go anywhere here.”

“Be careful. This test isn’t that simple.” The spell formation in Song Qing Cheng’s hand slowly rotated. She closed her eyes to sense her surroundings.

Then, she sharply opened her eyes, her expression changing rapidly.

Ling Guang grew a little nervous at her reaction: “What is it?”

Song Qing Cheng pursed her lips and said: “There are many people on these stones.”

“Many people?” Ling Guang looked around. “There’s no one here?”

It’s just the five of them.

As soon as the words left her mouth, the stone platform exploded without warning. It wasn’t just the one beneath their feet; the others nearby also shattered into pieces.

The gathered group was instantly scattered. The exploding fragments of stone were only large enough for one or two people to stand on.

The fragments slowly descended, like stars falling from the sky.

Lan Shan Jun scanned the area. There were too many fragments, making it difficult to find where the others were for a moment.

The next instant, Lan Shan Jun understood what Song Qing Cheng had said.

“There are many people.”

No, not people—Sea Demons.

Small Sea Demons, covered in conch shells and seashells, began to crawl out of the stone fragments in mid-air.

These things shouldn’t appear in the study hall secret realm. Lan Shan Jun looked down at Elder Xue, who was still seated calmly.

She conjured them.

“The first page of the Sea Demon Record: the Small Stone Demon. Formed from reefs, immune to blades and fire, but its demonic power can petrify and crush people,” Elder Xue’s voice traveled to everyone’s ears.

“Don’t think that your identities are so noble—one is a Young Master, another is a Young Hall Master—that I wouldn’t let real Sea Demons in. That would be wrong, oh.”

Elder Xue’s voice still carried a gentle smile: “Everything you see before you is real. The lava is real, and the Sea Demons are real. Children, I wish you a fun time.”

Before her voice completely faded, Elder Xue was gone.

“Tch, just trying to scare people.”

A light scoff came from the side.

Lan Shan Jun turned her head and saw two somewhat familiar faces.

It was those two disciples from Thousand Poisons Valley again.

The disciple who possessed the power of wind control, just like her, was currently gripping the clothes on her companion’s shoulder, lifting her up with ease.

“Mu Fu An, why don’t you try?”

Mu Fu An’s face turned pale with fear. She quickly waved her hands and tried to step away.

Mu Liu’s eyes flashed with amusement. She directly tossed the person onto a fragmented stone platform where a Small Stone Demon was located, then crossed her arms, ready to watch the show.

Mu Fu An’s back slammed into a sharp part of the stone fragment, immediately twisting her features in pain. But stranded on the fragment, she had no time to worry about the injury on her back. She quickly used spiritual energy to support her body to avoid falling further.

Before she could even catch her breath, the Small Stone Demon on the fragment pounced toward her, its shell covering clattering together.

Mu Fu An instinctively reached for a talisman, but her hand grasped empty air.

All her talismans had also been confiscated.

The Small Stone Demon saw the fear in her eyes and was in no hurry to approach. Instead, it slowly backed her toward the edge of the stone.

Seeing that she was already at the edge of the fragment, Mu Fu An took a deep breath and said tremblingly: “Don’t come any closer.”

The threat was so weak it sounded almost like a plea.

On the other side, Mu Liu was already clapping her hands and laughing aloud.

“Mu Fu An! You are truly useless! Without those few scraps of paper, you’re nothing but trash!”

Lan Shan Jun frowned uncomfortably at the remark and looked over.

Mu Liu noticed her gaze and lifted her chin, her eyes full of disdain.

“What are you looking at? Mind your own business.”

Lan Shan Jun shifted her gaze toward Mu Fu An and spoke softly: “The Small Stone Demon, immune to blades and fire, is naturally afraid of vegetation. Don’t rely on talismans. Perhaps you can try the power of spiritual energy itself.”

Mu Fu An understood quickly. Almost the instant Lan Shan Jun’s words were spoken, vegetation quickly sprouted from the fragmented stone beneath Mu Fu An’s feet.

The spiritually-grown vegetation instantly climbed over the Small Stone Demon, sucking the moisture from its body. In a flash, only a pile of empty shells remained on the ground.

Mu Fu An hadn’t expected it to be so easy. She gratefully bowed to Lan Shan Jun.

“Thank you for the guidance, Immortal Friend!”

Not seeing the outcome she wanted, Mu Liu glared at Lan Shan Jun with shadowed eyes: “Busybody!”

Lan Shan Jun didn’t pay her any mind. She looked up slightly and saw a figure coming toward her from between the fragmented stones in the distance.

“Senior Sister.”

Cang Wu leaped to her Senior Sister’s side.

Lan Shan Jun smiled lightly: “Did you hear what I said just now?”

Cang Wu nodded.

Lan Shan Jun told her the method to counter the Small Stone Demon.

After hearing it, Cang Wu immediately grabbed Lan Shan Jun’s hand, very naturally linking her fingers with his.

“Senior Sister, don’t worry. I will protect you.”
