Transmigrated As The Villain's Sword (GL) - Chapter 13
Their eyes met, and Ling Chenyan had already guessed that he was the spirit of the Illusion God Lyre.
The original text once recorded, “During the great war in ancient times, the ancient divine artifact, the God-Demon Heavenly Sword, split into four and fell into the mortal realm. The spirits of the Prison Heaven Cage, the Heart-Questioning Mirror, and the Evil-Suppressing Heavenly Book were intact. Only the Illusion God Lyre, amidst numerous battles for its possession, had its spirit sacrifice itself for a certain master, thus losing its sentience. After ten thousand years of circulation, the lyre’s spirit finally re-emerged within the Lingxiao Immortal Sect, becoming a treasure of the sect.”
In other words, this little lyre spirit had only existed for a short time and had not even been discovered by the Lingxiao Immortal Sect yet. It would only be discovered that the Illusion God Lyre was complete when it later recognized the female lead as its master.
Ling Chenyan’s eyes rolled, and she immediately drilled out of the sword, facing the little lyre spirit in her soul form.
“Little friend, what’s your name?”
The lyre spirit blinked his big eyes, looking at the girl in front of him curiously and shyly. He turned his back bashfully and said, “I don’t have a name.”
“No name?” Ling Chenyan repeated, about to say, “How about I give you one?” when she looked up and saw the little boy’s short back. She asked in confusion, “Why are you turning your back to me?”
The little boy fidgeted and said, “No pants to wear, so shy.”
Ling Chenyan found it quite amusing. She almost forgot that although the child in front of her was a lyre spirit, he was much more intelligent and had a stronger sense of shame than ordinary children. So she flicked her fingers, conjuring a tiger outfit for the little boy, and said, “There, all better now. You can turn around and look at me.”
The lyre spirit looked at the tiger suit that had appeared on his body, his eyes widening. He turned his head to look at the girl in front of him and said, “Such beautiful clothes!”
The little lyre spirit was already exquisitely cute, and now looking at her with bright, sparkling eyes made it even harder to resist his charm. Ling Chenyan couldn’t help but grin and said, “Little friend, since you don’t have a name, how about I give you one?”
“Okay!” The lyre spirit seemed happy. He had been awake for several years, but all he faced every day was this dark cave, without even a sound to hear. Now that someone could talk to him, he was truly happy and agreed to the other’s request.
Ling Chenyan thought for a moment, looking at his dark pupils and the golden light all over him, and said, “How about I call you Jin Jin? What do you think?” (Jin Jin means Gold Gold)
“Jin Jin?” The little lyre spirit pondered for a while and happily accepted the name. “Okay, from now on, I’ll be called Jin Jin. What’s your name?”
Ling Chenyan coughed and said, “My name is Ling Chenyan, but you can call me by my nickname, Yin Ye.”
System: […How did that become your nickname?]
Ling Chenyan ignored it, only looking at Jin Jin, who was glowing with golden light, thinking about how to trick him into leaving.
Jin Jin, having learned her name, happily spun around in the air, then stopped and asked with some confusion, “Sister Yin Ye, why are you with a Demon Clan person?”
Ling Chenyan’s heart skipped a beat. She had to know that Ling Chenyan’s disguise had fooled all the elders of the Lingxiao Immortal Sect. She hadn’t expected to be recognized by this little lyre spirit after only a brief encounter.
No wonder the female lead in her previous life could discover the anomaly so quickly after obtaining the Illusion God Lyre. It seemed that because the lyre spirit had experienced the ancient war, it was very sensitive to things like demonic power.
Ling Chenyan’s mind raced, and she immediately began to educate him. “What’s wrong with Demon Clan people? There are good and bad people in the Demon Clan too! Look at the cultivators in this world, although they all claim to be righteous people, aren’t there many people who do bad things every year for their own selfish desires? If there are bad people among the righteous, then why can’t there be good people in the Demon Clan?”
Jin Jin pouted and thought for a moment, then said, “What you said makes sense, but this sect doesn’t seem to allow Demon Clan people to enter. So what is she doing here?”
Ling Chenyan thought, her time to shine had come. So she sighed pretentiously and said to Jin Jin, who was looking at her with confusion, “Jin Jin, you must know that not everyone is as discerning as you and knows that there are good people in the Demon Clan.”
No matter what, she had to put a high hat on the little boy first.
“This sect is not as discerning as our Jin Jin,” Ling Chenyan sighed. “They think all Demon Clan people are bad, so they captured all the Demon Clan children who were cultivating outside and brought them to this place. Before leaving home, those Demon Clan children were told by their parents to return quickly. Originally, they just wanted to go out and see the world and didn’t do anything bad, but they were captured by the sect just because they were Demon Clan. Those children’s parents waited and waited, their tears dried up, but their children didn’t return. How pitiful.”
As she spoke, she watched Jin Jin’s expression. The simple little lyre spirit had already begun to get angry at the Lingxiao Immortal Sect’s actions. “How can they be so bad!”
Ling Chenyan’s eyes brightened, and she continued, “Yes, so the woman who came with me earlier came to rescue those abducted children. She’s not a bad person either. She just wants to take the children home.”
Jin Jin clenched his fists righteously and said, “Then let’s take the children home! I won’t let them know!”
Ling Chenyan was overjoyed. She patted Jin Jin’s head and said, “Jin Jin is so good. I knew Jin Jin was discerning and the most kind. This is our little secret, okay!”
Jin Jin looked at the smiling face of the woman in front of him, his face involuntarily turning red. “Okay, our little secret!”
Ling Chenyan’s eyes rolled, and she continued to lure him. “Look, the people in this sect are so bad. If you stay here, you might be forced to do bad things with them. Why don’t you leave with me? Let’s do good deeds together and save the children of the world, what do you think?”
After saying this, Ling Chenyan thought that even if Jin Jin didn’t agree, he would definitely waver. But the little boy looked at her with his dark eyes and said, “But Sister Yin Ye just told me that there are good and bad people in the world. If there are bad people in the Lingxiao Immortal Sect, there must also be good people. Maybe those good people will stop them from doing bad things.”
“…” Ling Chenyan didn’t expect that this kid wouldn’t be fooled by her. So she thought for a moment, took out a string of candied haws from her personal space, and said to him, “Jin Jin, here, have this to eat. I’ll talk to you while you eat.”
Jin Jin curiously took the candied haws and asked, “What is this?”
“Candied haws,” Ling Chenyan said. “It’s sour and sweet, very delicious.”
Jin Jin had been here for so long, he hadn’t even had a drop of water, let alone anything to eat, but as a lyre spirit, he didn’t need it anyway.
Jin Jin looked at the red thing in front of him and tentatively licked it, then his eyes lit up. “Delicious!”
Ling Chenyan smiled and patted his head. “If it’s delicious, eat more.”
While Jin Jin was eating, Ling Chenyan began to think. Jin Jin’s current appearance clearly showed that he had no intention of leaving with her yet. After all, this place was his home, the place he needed to protect.
If she continued this topic, maybe the kid would suspect her. Anyway, she had a long time in the Lingxiao Immortal Sect, and there was plenty of time to slowly shake his resolve.
Having made up her mind, Jin Jin finished the candied haws in his hand. Ling Chenyan looked at his eager expression and said, “No more, eating too much will cause cavities. It’s getting late, I have to go back, otherwise she will worry. How about I come see you again next time?”
When Jin Jin heard that she was leaving, he immediately became a little unhappy. But he thought about it, if he didn’t let her go, then Yin Ye wouldn’t be able to go home either. So even though he was unwilling, he still nodded and said, “Okay, when will you come next time?”
Ling Chenyan said with a smile, “Soon, maybe tomorrow.”
“Okay, then you go.”
Jin Jin looked at Ling Chenyan reluctantly. With a wave of his small hand, golden light enveloped the silver sword’s body.
Ling Chenyan waved goodbye to him, thought for a moment, and then took out some children’s snacks from her personal space and handed them to him, saying, “Jin Jin, I’ll come see you again next time.”
“Okay.” Jin Jin’s eyes briefly lit up when he saw the food, then dimmed again as he reluctantly bid farewell to Ling Chenyan.
The golden light carried Ling Chenyan and disappeared into the cave. The place that was just lively suddenly seemed to have a large void after one person left, eerily quiet.
Originally, here, he could still talk to the small stones, or touch the moss in the cave, look at the ants on the ground, or even mold out some small animals to play with himself. But looking at it now, he felt that the things that used to be interesting were no longer so interesting.
Jin Jin walked over and hugged the food, tilting his little head and thinking, she’s so nice to me, when she comes next time, I must also be nicer to her.
But when will Sister Yin Ye come next time?
Jin Jin hugged the food, tilted his little head, and began to wait for Sister Yin Ye’s next visit.
••••
On the other side, when Ling Chenyan opened her eyes again, she had returned to Guan Luowei’s side.
“Yin Ye…”
“Quick, search over there!”
Almost at the same time, Ling Chenyan heard the big villain call her name and the sound of disciples outside giving orders to search everywhere.
Ling Chenyan looked up with some confusion and found that Guan Luowei was hiding in a tree. Not far in front was Daoist Chenxu’s cultivation ground. All around were disciples holding torches, numerous in number, as if searching for something. It was clear that the person they were searching for was Guan Luowei.
So, what happened during the time she was gone?
She looked up at Guan Luowei’s expression and saw that she looked calm, but deep in her pupils, demonic power was raging. She thought that she was probably worried about losing her.
“I’m fine, Master. I was just invited over by a little friend as a guest. After I finished being a guest, he sent me back.”
“Hmm,” Guan Luowei nodded calmly, but the demonic power in her eyes still didn’t dissipate.
Ling Chenyan looked at the disciples searching everywhere, and a thought suddenly popped into her head. “Master, you wouldn’t have turned the entire mountain peak upside down, would you?”
Otherwise, she really couldn’t understand how such a big commotion could have occurred.
Guan Luowei’s expression remained cold as she said, “Not yet, only Daoist Chenxu’s cave peak hasn’t been searched.”
Ling Chenyan: “…” Truly worthy of the big villain’s style.
If she had returned a little later, perhaps Daoist Chenxu’s other half of his beard wouldn’t have been safe either.

Daoist Chenxu: First of all, I didn’t provoke any of you.
