Chapter 32: Slacking Off Day 32
“Hehe! You ignorant humans! You’re all trash, all trash!” Feng Sixuan raised her hands, looking down on the world. “You are all ants under my feet! With a flick of my finger, you will all turn to ashes! You all only deserve to submit to me, kneel at my feet! Hahaha!”
Even Wen Ying was slightly stunned by this posture.
In a way…it was cursing.
But the momentum was truly worthy of a domineering female lead.
Even her over-the-top attitude was so powerful!
As for the disciples and Elder Mo Ru, they fell into another long silence.
“Ahem.” After a long while, Elder Mo Ru finally reacted. “Good, very good! Little Friend Wen Ying’s talisman, although different from the effects I’ve seen before, did achieve its purpose. This shows that the talisman’s effects are indeed diverse, and there may be even more profound uses that are worth exploring by you young friends.”
After Elder Mo Ru finished speaking, seeing that the time was almost up, he told everyone they could go back to their rooms to rest or practice drawing talismans.
After speaking, Elder Mo Ru floated away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
On ordinary days, when class ended, the disciples would rush out of the square. But today, long after Elder Mo Ru had left, no one moved.
Everything that had happened just now had greatly shocked the disciples.
Feng Sixuan’s…unique cursing style.
And the talisman that they thought Wen Ying had randomly drawn…was the only one that worked, and it…worked to such an extent.
Could Wen Ying’s cultivation be higher than Feng Sixuan’s?
Impossible!
Even if Wen Ying happened to draw the talisman correctly, how could it have such an effect…
Feng Sixuan didn’t leave immediately either.
The talisman only controlled behavior, but the memories from the time the talisman was applied were preserved normally.
Feng Sixuan stood there in a daze.
Wen Ying thought…
Indeed, she had worked hard.
This time, she really should say to Feng Sixuan, “Listen to me, thank you, thanks to you…”
“Thank you for your cooperation today,” After thinking for a moment, Wen Ying said to Feng Sixuan in front of her.
Feng Sixuan’s expression gradually returned to normal; she smiled brightly, shaking her head. “That’s the effect of the talisman, it has nothing to do with Senior Sister. Besides, I should be thanking you. Just now…I felt like my true self.”
Huh?
Wen Ying could read minds and naturally knew that Feng Sixuan’s words were genuine.
Her true self referred to—a domineering and childish girl?
“It was very liberating, very refreshing,” Feng Sixuan’s expression was bright, as if she was recalling what had just happened. “I like the feeling of exposing my true self to others, without pretending, without being cautious…Thank you, Senior Sister!”
“…You’re welcome?” Wen Ying could only respond as Feng Sixuan had.
Pretending, being cautious…
Wen Ying could also understand Feng Sixuan’s words and actions now.
It seemed the He Lan family was truly a family with a strong background in house fighting.
So…
Even immortal cultivation families are busy with house fighting, should the marquis families start cultivating immortality too?
No matter how stunned and shocked they were, it would eventually end.
Tempted to return to their rooms, the disciples began to leave in twos and threes.
But as they left, they still looked at Wen Ying and Feng Sixuan a few more times, their eyes full of disbelief and confusion.
Unlocking new characters and plots was interesting, but Wen Ying didn’t forget the main business of the day.
She was going to find the background character disciple to ask about what they had said in the dining hall.
Just as Wen Ying was about to step forward, an unprecedentedly long task panel appeared before her.
【Mission…success or failure?
Little Tongtong thought about it carefully, the song the Host sang
(Followed by the complete lyrics of the song)
Considering it was a sarcastic song from the Host’s perspective, Little Tongtong still decided that it was—
Mission Failed!】
The dense small print completely blocked Wen Ying’s entire view.
And it was all nonsense.
By the time Wen Ying dismissed the panel, the disciple was already gone.
Heh, obvious intentions.
Using lyrics to pad the word count, such a low-level tactic.
…
Wen Ying was hurt by the badly-written ending the previous day, and didn’t want to read novels in her cave the next day.
Elder Mo Ru’s class was also interesting, so Wen Ying decided to go to class again today.
As for Xiao Hei, because it was busy eating plain noodles yesterday, it didn’t follow to the Xunxian Sect, and today it was fast asleep, seemingly without any intention of following.
Wen Ying just let it be.
This time, Wen Ying actively wanted to attend class, so she wouldn’t be as careless as yesterday. She arrived at the cultivation site a little earlier.
When she arrived, most of the disciples were already there. Elder Mo Ru was also present, and seeing Wen Ying arrive on time, he couldn’t help but show a relieved expression.
“Senior Sister Wen.”
As Wen Ying passed by Feng Sixuan, Feng Sixuan waved her hand generously and greeted Wen Ying.
Out of politeness, Wen Ying replied.
It seemed that because of yesterday’s events, Feng Sixuan seemed to have a good impression of her.
Then…good impression it is.
Anyway, something would happen eventually. If it’s quick, maybe even today.
As the disciples gradually arrived, today’s cultivation began on time.
Today’s cultivation content was different from yesterday’s haphazard talisman drawing. Today’s content was the traditional—sword flight.
Just as Wen Ying had thought yesterday.
Today was another important plot point.
The task panel immediately popped up.
【”Immortal Cultivation Novel’s Second Female Lead” Task 5: Remove the suspicion that you tampered with Xu Tongtong’s sword, luring Xu Tongtong into the forbidden area! Avoid entering the forbidden area!】
Good, the important thing wasn’t the plot, but the new location.
In previous reincarnations, Wen Ying had successfully completed the tasks every time, so she had never set foot in the forbidden area.
But!
The forbidden area, eh!
Just the name sounds like a place with far more stories than a dungeon!
Presumably, incredible secrets could be unlocked!
…
Sword flight was something most of the disciples had already practiced. The new disciples were mostly the male and female leads, and they quickly mastered it.
Therefore, the key to this cultivation was the latter half.
Elder Mo Ru had hidden several spirit fruits in various open spaces around the Xunxian Sect. The disciples had to fly on their swords to find the spirit fruits before they could end their morning cultivation and go to eat breakfast.
It could be seen that the disciples were all listless—the matter of yesterday’s lunch had already spread throughout the Xunxian Sect, so what difference did it make whether they ate breakfast or not!
Although the background was slightly different, the general plot was similar.
Wen Ying knew that something had been tampered with on both her and Xu Tongtong’s swords, and they would inevitably fly directly to the forbidden area, like a high-definition map’s navigation, and then plunge into the forbidden area like bungee jumping.
Wen Ying had to thank the person who tampered with it.
Didi Taxi, automatic navigation. Just step onto the flying sword, and you can accurately reach your destination; who wouldn’t love it!
The situation proceeded as Wen Ying had imagined.
Xu Tongtong’s sword suddenly lost control, rushing straight towards a high altitude, then falling vertically.
“Ah——!” Xu Tongtong’s scream, from high to low, echoed through the entire forbidden area.
Wen Ying didn’t like bungee jumping or other extreme sports, nor did she intend to fall straight down.
She controlled her true qi slightly and slowly descended on her sword.
Halfway down, Wen Ying’s sword seemed to be caught by something, suddenly stopping in mid-air.
Wen Ying thought it must have been caught by a branch.
She didn’t mind; she could fly without a sword. But the sword was after all a teaching prop from Elder Mo Ru; losing it wouldn’t be good.
Thinking this, Wen Ying casually jumped to the side, suspending herself in mid-air, casually slashing at the “branch” that was catching her sword.
A painful scream came from the other side, and the cut “branch” revealed a bloody section.
Oh, it was a tree demon, it turned out.
Wen Ying didn’t think much about it; she simply drew out her sword and slowly and safely landed on the ground.
Then, Wen Ying turned her head—
And saw a sea of heads.
Standing at the front were Fu Shuangxue, Feng Sixuan, Wen Meng, and other talented male and female leads.
Behind them were all the disciples from their group.
That’s right, all of them.
The entire class of disciples was currently in the forbidden area.
They all held weapons, some hadn’t even released their defensive or offensive postures; it seemed that just now, everyone was in a fierce battle.
The target was naturally the terrifying and enormous high-level ferocious beast, the tree demon.
The one…who had its arm chopped off by Wen Ying with a single strike?!
