Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 305

Sheng Nuan immediately pinpointed her entry point: once a year, Buzhou Mountain uses an array to summon demon clans with heavenly affinity to become spiritual pets… The summoned spiritual pets could be chosen by the disciples based on their seniority.

Most cultivators hoped to obtain powerful spiritual pets that could become mounts or assistants. Therefore, after much picking and choosing, in the end, only a little stone spirit was left unwanted.

In the original plot, the unwanted stone spirit was eventually picked up by Xue Fuyi, who intended to have the little stone spirit act as a maidservant to take care of his newly rescued and accepted disciple from the mortal realm, Yue Fenxiang.

Now, it was precisely the moment when Sheng Nuan, as the stone spirit, was despised by everyone and about to be picked up as a bargain.

Seeing Xue Fuyi, seated at the head, slightly furrow his brows as if about to speak, Sheng Nuan hurriedly said, “I beg the Immortal Lord to take me in.”

Everyone was stunned, instinctively looking in the direction the stone spirit was facing on the stage, not knowing which Lord the little stone spirit was addressing.

Xue Fuyi, who was presiding over this summoning ceremony, was also surprised to see a spiritual pet dare to speak on its own for the first time. Pausing briefly, he calmly asked, “Which Immortal Lord do you wish to follow in cultivation?”

In the next moment, everyone saw the little stone spirit extend a club-like stone arm and point to the furthest corner of the high platform, “That venerable monk in dark robes…”

Everyone was stunned and simultaneously turned their heads to look at the far corner of the high platform.

There sat a monk clad in dark ceremonial robes. Although he had the appearance of a shaven-headed monk, there was no sign of compassion on his face. Instead, he exuded an extreme icy indifference. His features were handsome, with a high nose and thin lips, narrow and deep eyes filled with a gloomy and cold fierceness.

He was Lian Yin, the Tiancheng Lord of Buzhou Mountain.

Everyone was first taken aback, then felt helpless and speechless.

This little stone spirit truly lacked sense; ignoring Immortal Lords like Tianshu and Yaoguang¹, she chose the Tiancheng Lord whom everyone dreaded and never dared to approach.

Aside from the Mountain Lord of Buzhou Mountain, who has always remained in seclusion, there are five Immortal Lords overseeing various affairs: Tianshu Lord Xue Fuyi, Tianquan² Lord Zhong Yu, Yaoguang Lord Qing Mian, Tianxuan³ Lord Qin Luo, and Tiancheng Lord Lian Yin.

Lian Yin originally came from the Buddhist sect and, by chance, entered Buzhou Mountain to oversee the Department of Punishments, dealing with disciples who violate rules and punishing malevolent entities causing chaos, thus he is also revered as the Heavenly Punishment Walker⁴.

Some say he has the heart of a Bodhisattva, eliminating evil wherever he finds it, saving countless lives.

Others say he has the heart of a Rakshasa. Buzhou Mountain disciples have witnessed him punishing an entire sect of evil cultivators… Clad in dark robes, lotuses blooming under his every step, wherever he went, karmic fire⁵ blazed across the sky, leaving all things withered and dead.

Leaving a lasting shadow over many disciples…

Originally, Walker Lian Yin lived on one of the main peaks near the other immortal lords, but a few years ago, his karmic fire went out of control and burned his residence on Chuyun Peak to ashes, leaving everything withered and dead, causing the disciples to avoid it from afar and never dare to approach Chuyun Peak⁶ again.

In the end, he moved to live alone at Duanyue Cliff⁷ at the summit of Buzhou Mountain… having almost no contact with the other disciples.

But seeing his dark robes and his cold, deep, emotionless narrow eyes, the disciples of Buzhou Mountain couldn’t help but want to step back.

Are you kidding? If you were to be touched by the Heavenly Punishment Walker’s karmic fire, you’d be burned to ashes with nothing left.

But now, this ignorant little stone spirit actually pointed at the Heavenly Punishment Walker, saying she wanted to be his spiritual pet… Can’t she see his overwhelming murderous aura?

Xue Fuyi, who was presiding over the summoning ceremony, was also a bit surprised, but still turned back and gently asked Lian Yin’s opinion, “Tiancheng Lord, this stone spirit…”

Lian Yin’s face was expressionless, “Duanyue Cliff…”

He was about to say “Duanyue Cliff does not need a spiritual pet.” At that moment, another voice sounded in his mind, full of excitement.

“No way, I want this little demon. It’s the first time someone has actively approached… You may not need her, but I want someone to keep me company.”

Before Lian Yin could refuse, the voice continued, “If you don’t agree, when I come out, I’ll put on rainbow-colored clothes and go dance at the mountain gate!”

Lian Yin’s brow twitched several times, his eyes filled with even more murderous aura, but in the end, he finished the latter half of his sentence, “Duanyue Cliff… happens to be in need of a spiritual pet, let’s have her then.”

Everyone was somewhat surprised, including Xue Fuyi. They thought the Heavenly Punishment Walker would look down on this little stone spirit.

Xue Fuyi nodded and said to Sheng Nuan, “In that case, after you receive your token, go to serve under Tiancheng Lord at Duanyue Cliff… By the way, can you transform into human form?”

When the demon race transforms into human form, they retain their own appearance. In the original plot, the stone spirit knew her appearance was clumsy and refused to transform, so for a long time she appeared to others as this little stone person.

But Sheng Nuan already had the blessing of beauty, so she didn’t have this concern. In the next moment, she transformed into human form.

In an instant, everyone around was stunned.

Just a moment ago, the little stone spirit was a gray, dusty little stone person, always timidly refusing to transform. Everyone naturally assumed her appearance must not be presentable, but unexpectedly, when she transformed, she turned out to look like this.

Skin as fair as jade, round eyes, pink petal-like lips full and plump, with shallow dimples on both cheeks… Wearing a pale yellow gauze dress, her hair bun adorned with colorful little stones, standing there gracefully, exceedingly beautiful and exquisite.

In that moment, those who had just given up on choosing this little stone spirit instantly regretted their decision.

Had they known the little stone spirit looked like this, they would have kept her no matter what… Even if she was weak, just having her to admire would be enough.

Buzhou Mountain is the leader among immortal sects, and there is no shortage of beautiful female immortals, but the beauty of those who cultivate immortality always carries a certain ethereal quality. They had never seen a girl as beautiful as this, yet so lively and full of vitality.

He is indeed the Heavenly Punishment Walker! Clearly a renunciate who has severed worldly ties, usually never allowing disciples to get close, yet now he chose a little stone spirit… It turns out, he had seen through the little demon’s hidden appearance.

But now it’s too late to say anything. No one dares to snatch someone from the hands of the Heavenly Punishment Walker, and the same goes for the spiritual pet.

On the stage, Heavenly Punishment Walker Lian Yin’s eyes still showed no waves, so cold that it instilled fear, and no one knew about the joyful voice in his sea of consciousness⁸.

“Ahhh, what a cute little demon! Did you see? She even has dimples, so cute…”

Lian Yin used some mental power to suppress that voice, stood up expressionlessly, and suddenly disappeared from where he was.

Sheng Nuan was still waiting for someone to take her to receive her identity token, when a male disciple beside her, blushing slightly, whispered to her, “Little stone spirit, would you consider changing your master… Tiancheng Lord is… he is very imposing.”

Even though the person wasn’t present, these disciples didn’t dare to speak ill, and only mustered the courage to use the word “imposing.”

Several people nearby immediately nodded in agreement.

They couldn’t bear to see such a jade-like, adorably cute little spiritual pet end up beside that powerful and fearsome walker… She might accidentally get burned to ashes.

Sheng Nuan blinked and smiled, revealing a slightly bashful expression, “No need, Tiancheng Lord is incomparably handsome with celestial appearance. I am very happy to follow him…”

All the disciples were speechless.

She is indeed a little demon. The ignorant are fearless, actually choosing the most terrifying master just based on looks…
