Training the Villain to Become a Big Sister Obsessed - Chapter 71

It was raining on both banks of the Endless River. The fine, silky rain created a haze over the world, making the mountain forests on both sides appear dark green and gloomy.

Lord Lanshan continuously absorbed the spiritual energy from the spirit stones in her storage ring, fleeing at high speed.

Tu Wushuang pursued her closely from behind.

Given the difference in their cultivation realms, and the fact that Tu Wushuang possessed the Concealment of Blood Technique, she should have caught up long ago.

Lord Lanshan noticed that Tu Wushuang consistently maintained a distance that was neither too far nor too close. This distance prevented Tu Wushuang from immediately capturing her, yet it also left her no opportunity to escape.

Tu Wushuang… was toying with her.

The cat-and-mouse game did not last long. Tu Wushuang’s figure flickered, instantly blocking Lord Lanshan’s path.

Lord Lanshan waved her hand, throwing the chain-blade out. However, in her severely depleted spiritual state, even a strike delivered with all her effort seemed soft and weak.

Tu Wushuang grasped the chain-blade with one hand. The wound on her shoulder was still continuously oozing bloody water, but the injured person seemed oblivious, letting the blood flow and dissolve into the rainwater.

Her gaze shifted to the woman’s back, and Tu Wushuang narrowed her eyes.

She slowly raised her hand, and a burst of qi shot out from her fingertip. The qi hit the bulging robe on Lord Lanshan’s back, instantly piercing the disguise, which deflated.

“You tricked me?” Tu Wushuang gritted her teeth, articulating each word slowly.

With little spiritual energy left, Lord Lanshan could not avoid the rain. Her hair and robe were damp and clung to her body.

“Let me guess, you hid her in that Bodhi tree just now, didn’t you?”

Lord Lanshan’s pale eyes slightly widened. She instantly gripped the chain-blade and charged straight at Tu Wushuang without hesitation.

Tu Wushuang was somewhat surprised, but a mocking smile quickly appeared in her eyes.

In her view, Lord Lanshan was seeking death.

“Map of Chaos! Help me one more time.”

Thousands of golden rays burst forth. Countless golden threads wrapped around Lord Lanshan and Tu Wushuang.

The moment Tu Wushuang was stunned, Lord Lanshan immediately controlled the chain-blade to lock her hands and feet. Subsequently, the golden threads attached themselves along the path of the chain-blade. In an instant, the shimmering silver chain-blade was plated with a layer of golden light.

“Thank goodness I succeeded…”

A massive suction force caused Lord Lanshan’s body to uncontrollably move toward Tu Wushuang. She had used her last ounce of spiritual energy to activate the Map of Chaos, giving her no chance to resist.

The moment the golden threads and the chain-blade merged, Tu Wushuang also tightly wrapped around Lord Lanshan. The two were bound together and dropped from the high air.

“Splash—!”

Upon re-entering the water, the river water, mixed with the stench of fish and shrimp, instantly rushed into Lord Lanshan’s mouth and nose. The suffocating sensation forced blood vessels to climb into both of her eyes.

Although Tu Wushuang was restrained, dealing with a person completely devoid of spiritual energy was like crushing a flower or destroying grass. Tu Wushuang wrapped her arm across the woman’s neck and tightened her grip with force.

The two slowly sank. Bloodthirsty fish and shrimp watched with hostile intent, waiting for them to fight and die so they could feast.

Blood spilled from Lord Lanshan’s mouth. A strong will to survive made her desperately yank at Tu Wushuang’s arm.

Tu Wushuang’s eyes were savage: “Die!”

Blood mist spread around the two. Lord Lanshan’s vision was a field of crimson. The strength in her hands slowly faded.

It is said that a person’s life flashes before their eyes like a rapidly spinning lantern before death. At this moment, past events slowly began to surface in Lord Lanshan’s sight.

Upon first arriving in this world, she was taken back to Yang Valley by the immortal-like East Lord and accepted as a disciple. Throughout her growth, she had never truly seen this world; she had viewed herself as an outsider.

Looking back now, she realized she had been so happy in Yang Valley. Her Master and Valley Lord treated her like their own, and her Senior and Junior Sisters were tolerant and kind, like a family.

Bloody tears streamed from the corner of her eyes. Lord Lanshan’s expression slightly relaxed. She saw the time she went to the small secret realm by the East Sea to kill the antagonist.

That time, she had also nearly drowned in the water.

[Lanshan, have you considered what you would do if there were a next time, and I was not with you, nor was the East Lord, and you encountered a monster more formidable than that snake demon?]

The familiar words echoed in her ears. Lord Lanshan closed her eyes. Senior Sister Xie, without you and Master this time, I might really die.

The life review continued—

Lord Lanshan saw herself wrapped by a long tail, slowly delivered before a woman.

In the past, whenever Lord Lanshan recalled this memory, the woman’s face was always blurry, but this time it was clear. She saw the face clearly.

Lord Lanshan suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils filled with utter shock.

It was Cangwu.

It turned out that what she saw back then was not a snake demon, but a Green Dragon in a state of heat.

All her memories flooded back instantly, everything becoming clear: under the cold pool water, the misty forest of Yang Valley, and the line between life and death in Sleepless City. Memory fragments flashed, and every one of them showed Cangwu’s face.

In a daze, Lord Lanshan suddenly felt strength return to her. She began to struggle. Tu Wushuang behind her sensed this and immediately activated the Concealment of Blood Technique.

The blood mist instantly enveloped them, and a pair of golden eyes flashed past.

The blood-drinking fish waiting nearby cautiously approached. Other fish, seeing this, also crowded in, but they still did not dare to enter the blood mist, only opening their mouths to sample the river water nearby that carried a hint of human blood.

Suddenly, a golden light mixed with a blood color exploded from the mass of blood mist. The fish surrounding it instantly vanished into nothingness. The blood mist slowly faded, leaving only a woman, whose fate was unknown, floating in the water. A bloody tear slid down the corner of her eye—

“Drip—!”

A cold raindrop landed on the forehead of the unconscious person. Cangwu’s eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Her vision was still blurred. A small figure chattered noisily—

“Oh no, you’re finally awake! I thought…”

“You’re awake! Hurry up and find Sister Lanshan. That scary woman seems really powerful.”

“Cangwu? Cangwu!”

Cangwu shook her head, waving Little Bell away with a slap: “Stop making noise.”

What was she talking about? Sister Lanshan…?

Senior Sister!

Cangwu woke up abruptly. Ignoring the stabbing pain in her head, she picked up Little Bell, who had been swatted onto the tree: “What did you just say?”

Little Bell said indistinctly: “Hurry and find Sister Lanshan. That scary woman is chasing her.”

“Where did they go!?” The string in Cangwu’s mind instantly snapped.

Little Bell pointed in a direction.

Cangwu’s figure instantly disappeared, leaving only residual shadows in the forest.

Ignoring the risk of exposing her identity, Cangwu revealed her semi-demon form, searching for her Senior Sister’s aura by covering the area with spiritual energy.

She searched all the way to the bank of the Endless River. Cangwu saw several river spirits helping each other leave. She landed directly in front of them, asking coldly, “Did you see two cultivators pass by?”

The injured spirits were momentarily stunned, seeing a person suddenly questioning them with such an intimidating aura. After seeing Cangwu’s dragon scales and dragon horns, the spirits trembled and knelt on the ground, their heads bowed low.

“Greetings, A… Adult Green Dragon.”

Cangwu received their obeisance without feeling the slightest impropriety.

“May I ask what the cultivators Adult Green Dragon mentioned looked like?” one of them asked bravely.

Cangwu answered without hesitation: “One of them is very beautiful, with a gentle temperament, often smiling eyes, and looks like a good person. The other one looks like a God of Slaughter.”

Hearing the not-so-reliable description, the spirit’s eyes lit up: “We saw them! We saw them!”

Cangwu grabbed her: “Where!?”

The little spirit pointed into the Endless River: “They fought and fell into the water. Many fish were waiting to… eat, eat them.”

Cangwu’s face darkened. Her eyes looked dangerously at the spirits.

“W-we didn’t! Later, there was a golden light, and many fish died. We were far away and still got hurt, so we wanted to leave to seek peace,” the little spirit cried as she spoke.

Cangwu released her, turning into a stream of light and entering the Endless River.

Following the direction the spirit pointed, Cangwu quickly found the chaotic area. There were no fish, shrimp, or living creatures. Even the river water had turned red. The stones submerged underwater showed signs of having been corroded by spiritual energy. From those traces, Cangwu recognized her Senior Sister’s chain-blade and Tu Wushuang’s Concealment of Blood Technique.

It was indeed them.

Cangwu searched frantically, but the entire area had been virtually flattened and was fully exposed. There was no sign of anyone.

Unwilling to give up, she flipped over stones one by one at the bottom of the river. At one point, Cangwu’s movement paused, and a light flashed in her eyes.

Yes, how could she forget? Her Senior Sister still had the dragon egg with her. The dragon egg was of the same origin as her. If she found the dragon egg, she could definitely find her Senior Sister!

Cangwu released a massive Green Dragon aura, causing the river water to swell with waves and ripples.

She searched inch by inch, but the riverbed contained only spirits and more spirits. There was no one she was looking for.

Cangwu’s emotions gradually became agitated. The restriction left by Headmaster Xuan inside her body was repeatedly impacted. More and more of Cangwu’s demon form was revealed. Dragon scales began to appear on her lower back, concealed beneath her robe.

Suddenly, the back of her hand felt hot. Cangwu looked down. It was the mark left by Elder Xue, urging them to return.

If her Senior Sister wasn’t in the Endless River, had she already returned?

Cangwu shook her head, thinking, No, if Senior Sister had escaped Tu Wushuang, she would definitely have come back to look for me.

But if she had the mark, Elder Xue should be able to find her Senior Sister through it.

Breaking through the water surface, Cangwu headed straight for Qingmu City, her demon form fully concealed.

Returning to Qingmu City, Cangwu saw a group of cultivators wearing Qingyun Academy uniforms gathered in a relatively intact mansion in the distance.

The stream of light arrived in an instant. Cangwu ignored Lingguang and Xiao Jiu, who were walking toward her, and headed straight for Elder Xue.

“Elder, please help me find my Senior Sister.”

Elder Xue frowned. Seeing that Cangwu had returned alone, her expression was not good: “The mark on Lanshan has disappeared. I assumed you were together.”

Cangwu’s pupils instantly constricted.

“What did the Elder say?” Lingguang quickly walked over, then turned to look at Cangwu, “Did you separate?”

Cangwu tightly pressed her lips together and turned to leave, but was suddenly blocked by a barrier.

“Let me go. I need to find my Senior Sister.”

Elder Xue scolded: “Nonsense! Lanshan is missing. If you go alone and something happens again, how can I explain it to the Headmaster!”

Cangwu turned around, her eyes stubborn: “You don’t need to concern yourselves with my life or death.”

Elder Xue still refused to release her but guaranteed that they would all go together to search for Lord Lanshan.

Cangwu’s sword was destroyed, so she could only constantly break the barrier with her palms.

Lingguang couldn’t stand watching and tried to advise her, but after receiving a fierce glare, she swallowed all her words.

After resting for about the time it takes half an incense stick to burn, Elder Xue slowly stood up, looking at the group of juniors she had brought out: “Lingguang, Song Qingcheng, and Mu Fuan, you will follow me to search for Lanshan. Xiao Jiu and Zhao Chen will stay behind to help Elder Yu look after the others.”

Hearing Elder Xue’s words, Cangwu noticed that Xie Qingshuang and Ming Yu were both unconscious. Mo Huaisheng was also injured, and Elder Yu was continuously monitoring their condition nearby.

Cangwu glanced over them briefly, showing no concern.

As she left Qingmu City with Elder Xue, Cangwu saw a sneaky figure at the city gate. She flashed over and grabbed the little figure in her hand.

Little Bell was still a little afraid of Cangwu and dared not look into her eyes: “I… I just came to see how you and the Feng family were doing?”

Cangwu turned and tossed her to Lingguang.

Lingguang shook her head at Little Bell with a poor expression, having nothing to say.

The light in Little Bell’s eyes gradually faded.

“Are you sure Lanshan was last in the Endless River?” Elder Xue turned and asked Cangwu.

Cangwu did not have a pleasant expression, but she still nodded.

“Lanshan… hasn’t Sister Lanshan returned yet?” Little Bell spoke weakly. “You can take me with you. I placed a bell fruit on Sister Lanshan. If she is nearby, I can tell.”

Before the words were finished, Cangwu pulled Little Bell back.

“Let’s go.”
