Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 328

Since that day when it became known that Sheng Nuan, the little stone demon, had pulled Tiancheng Lord down from his pedestal, she encountered peculiar gazes wherever she went in Buzhou Mountain.

Previously, the female cultivator who had given her flower seeds seemed to have something to say when she saw her but ultimately didn’t dare to gossip.

A few days later, heavenly fire descended from the sky…

No one knew what had happened. They only knew that in two places, fiery meteors suddenly fell from the heavens, causing countless deaths and injuries.

Sheng Nuan followed Lian Yin to a small country where the fiery meteors had appeared to handle the situation.

This small country was called Nanshang. Though not large, it was relatively affluent. But suddenly, heavenly fire descended, killing many people, and it was very close to the capital.

Lian Yin brought Sheng Nuan to Nanshang. The country’s ruler and eldest princess led the officials to personally greet them.

When they saw the dark-robed Lian Yin and Sheng Nuan suddenly appear, the ruler and eldest princess hurried forward. “Exalted Immortal, we beg you to save us.”

The eldest princess was momentarily stunned when she saw the dark-robed holy monk, her gaze becoming somewhat entranced.

To think there existed such an exceptionally handsome monk… Narrow eyes, thin lips, sharp features—especially that powerful and icy aura that commanded both awe and admiration.

“This king has prepared a modest banquet for the Immortal…” The ruler of Nanshang was somewhat nervous.

Before he could finish, Lian Yin said indifferently, “No need. Let’s address the matter now.”

The ruler quickly agreed.

Moments later, the ruler and eldest princess climbed the Star-Plucking Tower… While they were ascending, Lian Yin had already brought Sheng Nuan directly to the Star-Plucking Platform.

The Star-Plucking Platform was the tallest building in Nanshang. Standing on it, one could clearly see that in the distance, there seemed to be a hole in the sky, with golden-red fiery meteors continuously falling and flowing along the ground, burning everything in their path to ashes, leaving nothing alive, not even a blade of grass.

Sheng Nuan widened her eyes. “Your Lordship, it’s very similar to your karmic fire.”

Lian Yin glanced down at her. “My karmic fire never burns innocent lives.”

If those at Buzhou Mountain saw Lian Yin responding to such seemingly trivial conversation, they would probably be utterly shocked.

Yet the little stone demon was still unconvinced, pouting, “Who says so? Before, when I worked so hard to plant so many flowers, didn’t Your Lordship burn them all with one fire?”

Lian Yin’s expression stiffened slightly. Looking at the pouting little spirit beside him, he said nothing but tapped her lightly on the head.

By the time the ruler and eldest princess of Nanshang finally reached the Star-Plucking Platform with great effort, they saw that the dark-robed holy monk had already begun.

He stood at the edge of the platform, hands forming seals. A dark golden array appeared in the distance, slowly covering the hole in the sky, instantly blocking the continuous downpour of fiery meteors.

The eldest princess was filled with surprise and admiration. When she saw the dark-robed holy monk raise his other hand and press downward into the void, instantly extinguishing the fiery meteors raging over the mountains and plains, she was left with nothing but immense awe.

This is what a cultivator is… possessing such immense power with just the raise of a hand.

After extinguishing the fiery meteors, Lian Yin turned his hands several times to form seals before stopping. That part of the sky was sealed with layers of arrays, and no more fiery meteors could be seen.

But Lian Yin knew that the hole in the sky still existed. The array only blocked it but couldn’t repair it.

“At midnight tonight, I need to reinforce the array again, which will ensure safety for three months…”

Three months?

The ruler and eldest princess both froze, then heard the dark-robed holy monk continue, “I will return in three months.” Only then did the siblings reluctantly breathe a sigh of relief.

Sheng Nuan looked at the barren and blackened wilderness outside, thought of something, and took out a packet of seeds from the storage pouch Lian Yin had given her. “Your Lordship, I happen to have some seeds from Zilan Peak here. How about planting them over there?”

The eldest princess was somewhat helpless.

This attendant seemed a bit insensitive… How could a person like the dark-robed holy monk concern himself with her small matter of planting flowers?

But in the next moment, the eldest princess saw that the seemingly extremely cold dark-robed holy monk actually took the seeds from the little attendant without hesitation, waved his hand, and then reached out into the air, using spiritual power to promote growth.

In just a few moments, everyone saw that in the barren, scorched wilderness outside the city, patches of green began to sprout, followed by blooming flowers… From a desolate wasteland to a sea of flowers and grass, all in just a brief moment.

Lian Yin looked down at the little stone demon and said warmly, “Whatever flowers you like… we’ll plant Duanyue Cliff full of them when we return.”

This was a subtle response to the little stone demon’s earlier complaint about his past domineering behavior…

Seeing the demeanor of the dark-robed holy monk, the eldest princess’s expression shifted slightly. She then smiled subtly and asked, “And this immortal lady is…”

“Me?” Sheng Nuan grinned. “I’m His Lordship’s spiritual pet.”

A spiritual pet should likely be a cultivator’s companion of sorts, and should not be human.

The eldest princess’s smile became even more sincere. She then invited them to rest in the palace. “We’ll still need to trouble the holy monk to reinforce the seal at midnight. The palace has prepared a modest banquet. I hope the holy monk and the immortal lady will honor us with your presence…”

Noticing that the little stone demon was eager to go, Lian Yin agreed and followed the siblings into the palace.

The banquet was exceedingly sumptuous, attended only by the four of them and the attendants. Sheng Nuan hadn’t had a proper meal in a long time, and the skills of the palace chefs were highly enticing, so she ate without lifting her head.

The eldest princess toasted to Lian Yin. “This cup is to thank the holy monk for your assistance in saving our city and the common people.”

If the fiery meteors had continued to spread, the capital might have been lost.

Lian Yin nodded lightly. “You’re too kind.”

Seeing Lian Yin drink the wine, the eldest princess’s eyes immediately brightened.

He doesn’t abstain from alcohol, so perhaps he doesn’t have other taboos…

In the next moment, the eldest princess softly spoke, “Just now, my royal brother and I discussed and wish to honor the holy monk as our national preceptor. Henceforth, we will dedicate the entire nation’s resources to you. I wonder if the holy monk…”

Lian Yin frowned slightly. “There’s no need.”

The eldest princess paused briefly, then bit her lip, her face flushing as she whispered, “If the holy monk is willing to become our national preceptor, this princess is willing to serve you personally…”

Lian Yin finally withdrew his gaze from the little stone demon opposite him, looking coldly at the eldest princess. “Princess, please respect yourself..”

It was the first time in her life that the eldest princess had set aside her dignity, only to be reprimanded. She felt both ashamed and startled, biting her lip as she softly explained, “I meant no offense, holy monk. It’s just that upon seeing you, I couldn’t help but feel admiration…”

Before she could finish, she noticed that the dark-robed holy monk beside her had disappeared, and the spiritual pet who had been happily eating across from her was also gone.

The emperor of Nanshang was a bit bewildered. “Elder sister, what’s going on? Why did they suddenly leave?”

The eldest princess blushed deeply, biting her lip without speaking…

Lian Yin was already impatient, and the eldest princess, oblivious to the danger, still didn’t know whether to live or die. Adding to that, seeing the little stone demon being attended to by the young emperor and eating so happily, he became even less patient.

After being brought back to Duanyue Cliff by Lian Yin, Sheng Nuan was a bit confused. “Your Lordship, why are we suddenly back?”

Lian Yin raised an eyebrow slightly. “Have you eaten your fill?”

Sheng Nuan hiccuped, smiling sheepishly. “A bit overstuffed…”

A hint of amusement flashed in Lian Yin’s eyes. He pulled her into his arms and gently placed his hand on her abdomen. A warm sensation spread, and she immediately felt much better.

“Your Lordship is so kind…”

Sheng Nuan smiled, flattering him. But before she could finish, she noticed that the hand resting on her abdomen suddenly began to move upward.

She huffed in displeasure, pressing down on the mischievous hand. “Your Lordship, it’s broad daylight…”

But the person behind her clearly felt no shame about such impropriety in broad daylight. His usually cold voice had already turned hoarse, his breath brushing against her ear.

“They’ve grown bigger…”

It was the slightly teasing heavenly soul.

Sheng Nuan protested, “They weren’t small to begin with…”

The voice behind her suddenly deepened. “Is that so… let me see…”
