Training the Villain to Become a Big Sister Obsessed - Chapter 77

Cangwu put on an outer garment, moved her body to sit by the edge of the bed, her eyelashes half-lowered, casting a circle of shadow beneath her eyes.

Silence spread, until someone finally broke it.

“How do you feel?” Xie Qingshuang’s tone was indifferent, her words lacking concern and sounding more like a test.

Cangwu did not choose to ignore her as before. She rubbed her fingertips; spiritual energy leaked out. Looking closely, the pure energy was mixed with tiny specks of darkness.

“What are you referring to?”

Xie Qingshuang’s eyes darkened. Her hand rested on the sword hilt, and she slowly drew her Dharma Sword.

“You want to strike here?” Cangwu had long sensed Xie Qingshuang’s intent to kill her.

“Senior Sister Xie, this is not a good place for that.”

The three words ‘Senior Sister Xie’ were deliberately emphasized by Cangwu, full of provocation.

Xie Qingshuang raised her sword and pointed it at Cangwu. Frost spread outwards from her, until the entire room was covered in a layer of ice and snow.

Cangwu slightly frowned, splitting off some spiritual energy to shield the person on the bed from the cold.

It wasn’t until she stood up that Cangwu looked up to meet Xie Qingshuang’s gaze. Their eyes locked, both sharp and piercing.

“Crack—”

Cracks appeared on the surrounding icy surface. A tiny vine drilled out, then rapidly spread and grew at a speed undetectable to the naked eye. Some thorny vines coiled around Xie Qingshuang, their soft branches concealing immense danger.

The atmosphere instantly became tense and hostile.

“…Cangwu.”

At a low murmur, the chill immediately dissipated, and the vines retracted.

Cangwu quickly turned around. Seeing the woman half-propped up, she reached out to support her shoulder, letting her lean against her: “Senior Sister, I’m here.”

Xie Qingshuang also put away her sword. She took two steps forward, her expression softening: “Lanshan.”

Lord Lanshan heard the voice and looked up hazily. Her vision gradually cleared. Seeing the female lead’s cool face felt particularly warm, and a smile touched her lips: “Senior Sister Xie.”

Originally, Xie Qingshuang’s intent was merely to test. If she were to actually fight here, she would not only lose Face for Yang Valley outside but also might not succeed in one go.

Seeing Lord Lanshan awake, Xie Qingshuang offered a few words of concern and comfort as a Senior Sister, left some medicine, and then departed.

Lord Lanshan was still a little tired. She closed her eyes and leaned against Cangwu.

Not long after, she suddenly opened her eyes, anxiously reaching out for Cangwu’s hand.

She still remembered that arrow had pierced right through Cangwu’s palm and lodged near her heart.

In the center of the delicate palm was clearly the arrow’s puncture wound; the tendons, bones, and flesh inside were visible.

Her hand was injured like this…

Her eyes felt hot and burning. Lord Lanshan’s heart grew anxious, and she wanted to look at the wound on Cangwu’s chest again.

The white inner garment was loose; a slight pull with her fingertip revealed a stretch of pale skin beneath.

In a flash of white, Lord Lanshan saw that the smooth skin appeared to be without any scars.

Her cool fingertip pressed against the skin, and the warm body suddenly trembled.

Cangwu looked down, watching the woman’s fingertip trace her chest. She couldn’t help but swallow twice.

“Is there no injury here?” Lord Lanshan was still searching for a wound. “Where are the scales?”

“No injury.” Cangwu reached out and pulled the inner garment back up.

Lord Lanshan was stubbornly persistent, a rarity for her. She looked up and frowned at Cangwu: “Let me see.”

How could such a sharp arrow leave no mark at all? Cangwu must be hiding something.

With one looking down and the other looking up, the distance instantly closed. If Cangwu lowered her head just a little more, she could kiss the tip of Lord Lanshan’s nose.

Their breaths intertwined. Lord Lanshan felt her body starting to heat up. She curled her fingertips, pulling back slightly.

“Senior Sister.” Cangwu’s voice was a little hoarse.

“I’ll show you.”

The inner garment, which had just been closed, was pulled open again. This time, it wasn’t just a small, concealed peek. The soft clothing slipped down her shoulders and arms, gathering in the crooks of her elbows. Cangwu leaned in, closing the distance once more.

Lord Lanshan was momentarily dazzled. Her gaze shyly darted away from the sight before her.

Cangwu was practically bare-chested as she showed her.

“Didn’t Senior Sister want to see?” Cangwu murmured, guiding Lord Lanshan’s hand up to touch the thin layer of scales revealed over her heart.

“Cangwu, you… you should put your clothes on…”

“What would you be able to see if I put my clothes on?”

Lord Lanshan turned her head and closed her eyes, but the sensation under her fingertip was incredibly clear. She felt a gap, a place where there were no scales.

Her brow slightly furrowed. Lord Lanshan slowly opened her eyes into a slit, looking at the location beneath her fingertip.

The moment she saw clearly, Lord Lanshan’s fingertips trembled. Shame was forgotten, and her nose suddenly stung with emotion.

Over her heart was a small, crescent-shaped scale, but the scales surrounding it were either missing or broken, utterly ravaged.

Lord Lanshan opened her mouth to ask if it hurt, but swallowed the words back. How could it not hurt?

Her palm gently pressed onto the spot, feeling the steady beat beneath it.

Her body suddenly began to heat up. Lord Lanshan’s eyelashes fluttered twice before she slowly looked up.

Their eyes met. Some things were tacitly understood between them.

Cangwu’s breathing grew heavier. She felt the temperature of the hand on her chest slowly rising, knowing it was because her own rising desire was affecting her Senior Sister.

Her burning gaze, carrying an invasive intent, swept downwards over the woman’s brows, nose bridge, and finally rested on her lightly pursed lips.

A sound of swallowing broke the silence.

Cangwu was jolted awake. She rose in panic, immediately using spiritual energy to pull on her ritual robe, turning her back to Lord Lanshan.

She stammered: “Senior Sister, I… I heard Lingguang calling me. I’m going out first.”

She practically fled out the door in a panic. Lord Lanshan watched her retreating figure, her ears ringing with the steady rhythm of a beating heart.

A few voices were heard outside the door—

“Hey, Cangwu, you’re awake! Why are you in such a hurry?” That was Lingguang.

“Running so fast, not even acknowledging me.” It was Lingguang again, sounding like she was complaining to Song Qingcheng.

Cangwu hadn’t gone far. She walked to the back door of the residence, leaned against the wall, and took deep breaths to calm her sudden surge of emotion.

The chain on her knuckle suddenly grew hot, drawing Cangwu’s attention.

Her Senior Sister’s Dharma Artifact was still on her hand. The chain, intertwined with gold and silver, was extremely fine, inconspicuous like a ring mark at the base of her finger.

The gold flashed slightly, and Cangwu heard the Spirit King’s voice again.

[Why suppress your estrus period? Dual cultivation will only make you stronger.]

The Spirit King spoke casually. Cangwu slightly frowned: “Now is not the right time.”

[Appropriate?] The Spirit King was also puzzled. [Do you have to choose a day to do this?]

Cangwu pursed her lips. She somewhat understood why Lingguang said the Demon Race needed to learn to suppress their demonic nature; this Spirit King was clearly full of unsuppressed demonic nature.

Feeling her body calm down, Cangwu silently asked: “Can the Azure Dragon’s estrus period be transferred to another person?”

After a moment of silence, the Spirit King finally said: [I don’t know.]

“Why don’t you know?” Cangwu didn’t understand.

The Spirit King was even more puzzled: [Why would I know? Transferring the estrus period to someone else—an act of courting death that hands over a weakness to another—why would I ever do that?]

Cangwu clicked her tongue: “Truly useless.”

The Spirit King’s tone turned gloomy: [What did you say?]

“I said you are useless.” Cangwu scoffed, not the least bit afraid of the other party.

The Spirit King took a sharp breath, and then Cangwu heard the crashing sound of cups being smashed.

After that, there was no more sound, and the chain on her knuckle became cold and dull.

Her fingertip traced the gold and silver color. Cangwu remembered that the chain-blade Lingguang had made for her Senior Sister was silver. Why was there suddenly a golden strand? It seemed she had only started hearing the Spirit King after this golden part appeared.

Was this gold the Map of Chaos the Spirit King spoke of? According to the Spirit King, the Map of Chaos should have been in her hands, but the East Lord gave it to her Senior Sister.

Her Senior Sister was the variable in all of this.

Cangwu slowly took the chain-blade off her hand, turned, and went back to the small courtyard.

At this moment, Elder Xue returned with Feng Sheng and Feng Shu, and also brought back several Feng family disciples whose spiritual energy had been sealed.

The sight of the Feng family members immediately made Cangwu think of Feng Wuchang, and her inner anger flared up.

Even a slight fluctuation of spiritual energy would draw attention here. Many gazes converged.

Cangwu’s gaze swept coolly over those Feng family members, including Feng Sheng and Feng Shu.

With a soft creak, Lord Lanshan stepped out of the room and walked into the view of the crowd.

“Lanshan!” Lingguang was the first to cry out excitedly.

Cangwu withdrew the coldness from her eyes and walked toward her Senior Sister. When she reached her side, she subtly slipped the chain, which had shrunk into a simple silver ring, onto the woman’s finger.

In Cangwu’s view, this was simply returning the object to its owner, but the action made Lord Lanshan freeze.

She looked at Cangwu in surprise. Cangwu raised an eyebrow: “Senior Sister, why are you looking at me like that?”

Lord Lanshan came to her senses, and the slight astonishment vanished. Right, how would Cangwu know the meaning of putting a ring on someone? She had overthought it.

After a while, Elder Yu came over to examine Lord Lanshan and Cangwu. After confirming their conditions, she stepped aside to discuss with Elder Xue.

This time, their decision didn’t take long.

While retrieving Feng Sheng, Elder Xue learned about what Feng Wuchang had done to the spirits, and she also knew that Feng Wuchang had left, followed by the remaining Feng family members, trailing a cloaked woman.

Qingyun Academy often stepped forward to resolve issues with the Sea Fiends. This time, they had mobilized these people because Feng Shu requested aid. Now that the Feng family was known to be out of danger, there was no need for them to stay.

As for the collusion between the Liu family and the Sea Fiends to cause chaos among the immortal families, they would send a message back to the Four Palaces for them to discuss and decide. These matters were beyond Qingyun Academy’s jurisdiction.

On the return journey aboard the Cloud Vessel, Lingguang and Xiao Jiu chirped around Lord Lanshan, asking about Tu Wushuang one moment and Feng Wuchang the next. Lord Lanshan was patient, retelling the events to them after vaguely concealing some parts.

Cangwu was pushed to the side, with no space, but she didn’t try to compete for a spot.

The Cloud Vessel sailed steadily and quickly, but it seemed something was approaching.

In which direction?

Her vision pierced through the thick clouds, and Cangwu saw densely packed threads.

Her pupils abruptly contracted.

The Cloud Vessel stopped. Elder Xue, who was controlling it, also noticed something was wrong.

“It seems your thoughts were correct.” Elder Xue glanced at Elder Yu, who had a solemn expression beside her.

As early as Qingmu City, Elder Yu had sensed that the goal of the Liu family and the Sea Fiends was not just the Feng family. The last time Elder Xue led a team out, she had encountered Tu Wushuang, and she was present again this time.

And Cangwu was present in both attacks; in Qingmu City, Tu Wushuang’s target was even more clearly defined.

These people were coming for Cangwu.

Figures slowly appeared in the drifting clouds: none other than the previous Family Head of the Liu family, Liu Banxin, her Young Lord Liu Shang, and that fiery Sea Fiend who emerged from the underwater volcano.

The difference was that last time Tu Wushuang was with them; this time, it was the Family Head of the Feng family.

Those immortal sects and families probably never imagined there would be a day when the Liu family and the Feng family would cooperate.

Feng Wuchang hadn’t expected it either.

The woman she was following turned out to be the one Liu Banxin was loyal to. She was even more surprised that the Sea Fiends in the peerless-immortals and sleepless-city incidents a while ago were also orchestrated by this woman.

Being able to single-handedly raise the previously half-dead Liu family to its current position as the top immortal family, Feng Wuchang believed the woman’s words and was willing to work for her.

Just like now, daring enough to attack Qingyun Academy.

To someone who dared provoke even the Vermilion Bird Palace and the Azure Dragon Palace, what did Qingyun Academy matter?

“Family Head Feng, pleasant cooperation.” Liu Banxin’s smile didn’t reach her eyes. The black snake coiled on her shoulder hissed.

Feng Wuchang gave a light snort.

Even while serving one person, the Liu family and the Feng family were still rivals.

“Senior Zongyan, I’ll leave those two to you.” Liu Banxin turned her head and said to the fiery Sea Fiend.

Zongyan twisted her neck. Her palms slowly melted, finally turning into sharp claws. “Family Head Liu, you should worry about yourself first.”

Zongyan’s figure vanished instantly. The air she passed through was scorching hot.

She charged directly toward Elder Xue and Elder Yu, who were protecting the group of younger disciples.

Elder Xue drew the soft sword wrapped around her waist. After one slash, the demon was evenly split into two halves, with magma dripping from the cuts.

Zongyan’s two half-faces grinned eerily. Her half-bodies began to split and merge, finally forming two identical people.

“Thank you.”

The two Zongyans, one engaged Elder Xue, while the other went to entangle Elder Yu.

“Zongyan?” Elder Xue was very familiar with that name. She said in surprise: “You’re actually not dead?”

Not only was she not dead, but she had even transformed into a demon and become stronger.

Zongyan was not originally a demon.

Zongyan grabbed the soft sword. The scorching magma enveloped it, melting the soft sword bit by bit.

“The cultivators of the Four Seas and Eight Realms cry out to kill the Sea Fiends all day long! Did they ever consider they might one day be devoured by them!”

Elder Xue gave a cold laugh, immediately abandoning the soft sword and fighting bare-handed. She grew up in the White Tiger Palace, where she first cultivated the body. The one who accompanied her in body cultivation was the White Tiger of the Four Quarters.

If she could successfully ascend to a High Immortal, she would be the only High Immortal in the Four Seas and Eight Realms to achieve immortality through her physical body.

What was a little magma, then?

“Zongyan, you are still so hypocritical. Now you are defending the Sea Fiends? Don’t forget, when you were studying at the academy, you had the most Sea Fiend blood on your hands!” Elder Xue exchanged blows with Zongyan, every punch and every palm strike aimed at her face.

Zongyan took a punch, feeling that the blow was powerful enough to shatter her very soul.

“Xue Fuyou!”

On the other side, Elder Yu’s movement was light and nimble. Zongyan couldn’t catch or touch her. After striking empty air, she looked up to see the other person smugly beckoning to her with a finger.

The Cloud Vessel’s barrier was active, reinforced by the spiritual energy of the two Elders. For a time, Liu Banxin and Feng Wuchang had no way to break through it.

In her fury, Zongyan shouted into the void: “What are you waiting for!?”

Elder Xue and Elder Yu became instantly wary.

Who?!

An arrow arrived before any person, breaking through the barrier just as it had that other day.

Elder Xue looked at the arrow and subconsciously uttered a name: “Yun Chi?”

But when she saw the wicked energy trailing from the arrow’s tail, she immediately dismissed the thought.

Yun Chi would absolutely never attack Qingyun Academy.

The arrow was aimed at Xie Qingshuang.

Before the Night Sea Tang could be raised, a long, pitch-black, narrow saber was raised. With one swing, it directly severed the arrow.

Xie Qingshuang’s gaze flickered as she looked at the person standing in front of her. She pursed her lips, but in the end, couldn’t help but let a smile appear.

Ming Yu, holding the reformed Vermilion Bird Saber, glanced at the person behind her. She awkwardly avoided eye contact and scoffed: “Why are you standing there like an idiot? Waiting for her to shoot you with another sword?”

As soon as her words fell, the Cloud Vessel was instantly surrounded by Liu family disciples and Feng family puppets, packed shoulder to shoulder.

The scene before them was strangely familiar. Ming Yu’s eyes darkened.

Feng Wuchang controlled the puppet-spirits to land on the Cloud Vessel. Liu Banxin, along with Liu Shang, once again confronted Ming Yu and Xie Qingshuang.

Last time, they were so close to succeeding, but unfortunately, the two Elders of Qingyun Academy protected them in time.

But this time was different…

Liu Banxin glanced into the distance. With the assistance Zongyan had received, Elder Xue was clearly struggling much more, and Elder Yu couldn’t afford to pay attention to their situation here.

“Attack.”
