Transmigrated As The Villain's Sword (GL) - Chapter 30

Steward Li’s life was temporarily saved, but Qinghan had not yet recovered.

Qingtan handed the magical artifact in her hand to Guan Luowei, her earlier dignified appearance returning: “Miss Guan, thank you for your trouble.”

Guan Luowei glanced at the dazed soul in the artifact and the remaining upper half of Qinghan’s body, and said to Qingtan, “The soul is damaged. Even if the soul returns to the body, her body may still have defects.”

Guan Luowei’s words were clear, and Qingtan bit her lip, asking, “Is there no way to remedy it?”

“There is a way,” Guan Luowei said, “but it will be very painful for her.”

Qingtan hesitated visibly for a moment, but then Guan Luowei added, “However, the method of remedy is not urgent. You can wait until her soul returns and then discuss it with her.”

“Alright,” Qingtan said, no longer hesitating this time.

When they arrived at Qinghan’s room, Qingtan dismissed everyone else, leaving only Guan Luowei and her sword.

Ling Chenyan and Qingtan waited outside the screen, Qingtan’s face full of worry.

Ling Chenyan then comforted her, “Miss Qingtan, please rest assured, my master’s skills are very good.”

Qingtan forced a smile, looking at the silver sword in front of her, and said, “I naturally believe it, but I’m still a little nervous.”

“Indeed, that’s only natural,” Ling Chenyan comforted her with a few words, then changed the subject, saying, “Miss Qingtan, actually, don’t look down on me just because I’m a spirit artifact, but I’m also very proficient in divination and fortune-telling.”

“Oh?” Qingtan’s attention was drawn somewhat, and she asked, “You can do that?”

“Yes,” Ling Chenyan’s eyes darted around, and she said, “Not only can I, but I’m very proficient. Moreover, I just performed a divination for Miss Qingtan.”

“Hmm?”

“My divination showed that in the near future, a young man will come to your door, claiming he can cure Miss Qinghan’s soul loss, but in reality, he can’t at all. He will only make Miss Qinghan’s condition worse, and he harbors ill intentions towards Miss Qingtan herself. If you encounter him in the future, you must remember not to let him cross the threshold of Lingbao Pavilion.”

A thoughtful look appeared in Qingtan’s eyes, and she said, “Alright, I’ll remember that.”

Ling Chenyan nodded with satisfaction and said, “I also performed a divination for Miss Qinghan.”

Qingtan’s gaze immediately turned to her face. Ling Chenyan was startled, then composed herself, saying with an air of profound mystery, “Miss Qinghan will be safe and sound this time.”

Qingtan slowly breathed a sigh of relief, saying, “Then I’ll take your auspicious words.”

Their conversation ended there. Ling Chenyan’s goal had been achieved. Although the big villain had helped heal Qinghan, she still wanted to eliminate the root of the problem just in case.

The curling sandalwood incense gathered and then dispersed. After an unknown amount of time, Guan Luowei finally came out from inside.

Qingtan hurried forward, concerned, “Miss Guan, are you alright? How is Hanhan?”

Guan Luowei nodded to indicate she was fine, then looked behind her and said to Qingtan, “A word in private.”

Qingtan’s gaze was vacant, and she bit her lip to maintain her composure, following Guan Luowei’s steps.

Hearing Guan Luowei say this, how could Ling Chenyan remain calm? She had just told the other person that her divination showed a safe outcome. This was too quick of a slap in the face.

So, taking advantage of the moment the two women walked to the door, she hurriedly rushed to the bedside and then saw a pair of clear and bright eyes.

A question mark slowly appeared above Ling Chenyan’s head, and then she said, “You… you’re awake?”

The woman on the bed blinked, but didn’t speak.

Although she didn’t answer, Ling Chenyan could tell from the slightly more spirited eyes that this person had indeed been woken up by Guan Luowei.

Ling Chenyan was confused and could only ask the system in her mind.

The system explained: [Although her soul has returned to her body, it’s still a bit sluggish and can’t react so quickly. In other words, she can hear you talking, but it will take some time for her to respond.]

So that’s how it was.

Ling Chenyan’s eyes darted around, and an idea instantly came to mind. She quietly leaned close to the woman’s ear and whispered like a demon, “Mu Yunze will harm your sister, he’s an idiot, Mu Yunze will harm your sister, he’s an idiot… Mu Yunze is an idiot…”

After Guan Luowei finished explaining some of the after-effects and recuperation methods to Qingtan, she entered the room with her.

After listening, Qingtan finally slowly breathed a sigh of relief, saying as she walked, “I really must thank Miss Guan for this matter. If Lingbao Pavilion can be of assistance in the future, Lingbao Pavilion will definitely do its utmost.”

Guan Luowei nodded faintly and asked a very strange question, “Is she very important to you?”

Qingtan paused slightly, her gaze passing over the screen to fall on the woman on the bed. After a moment, she concealed the emotions in her eyes and replied, “Yes, she is very important to me.”

In fact, many years ago, she had known that Qinghan was not only very important to her but also important in another sense. From the time she picked her up to living together for over a decade or two, Qinghan had become an indispensable part of her life.

Moreover, she harbored a despicable secret desire for her that she couldn’t tell anyone.

She had repeatedly ignored it in the past, but now she couldn’t deceive herself, nor could she deceive her heart.

Qingtan came back to her senses and looked at Guan Luowei. After observing her for a moment, she suddenly smiled and said, “I wonder if Miss Guan currently has anyone she likes?”

Guan Luowei was taken aback, then shook her head, “No.”

Then, she paused and pursed her lips, adding, “What does liking feel like?”

In both her past and present lives, she didn’t understand what liking felt like. Just like the day Zong Xian confessed to her, she rejected her without a second thought. In both her past and present lives, anyone who had shown interest in her and expressed it had basically been ruthlessly rejected by her.

Qingtan looked at this fairy who knew nothing of love and affection, and a rare hint of interest appeared in her eyes.

She blinked her fox-like eyes and smiled charmingly, “Liking, ah, is when you think of her and you want to smile, when you see her you feel inexplicably happy, when she’s happy, you’re happy too, when she’s sad, your heart aches even more than hers, she can stir all your emotions, and more importantly, when she appears, your eyes are only on her, and you hope her eyes are only on you, you feel from the bottom of your heart that she is yours…”

While Qingtan was talking to Guan Luowei, the two had already walked past the screen and saw the scene behind it.

Qingtan’s gaze subconsciously ignored the silver sword and looked at the woman lying on the bed.

And Guan Luowei, thoughtfully lowered her head, then looked up and saw Yin Ye by Qinghan’s bed. She was leaning close to Qinghan’s ear, not knowing what she was saying.

And Qinghan was giggling.

In a daze, she saw a clever and mischievous young girl lying by Qinghan’s bed, trying her best to make her happy. The scene was beautiful, the girl’s smile like a painting of spring, making her unconsciously relax her brows.

And the beautiful girl Ling Chenyan, after saying “Mu Yunze is an idiot” nearly dozens of times in Qinghan’s ear, finally left the bedside with satisfaction and excitedly threw herself into Guan Luowei’s embrace.

Guan Luowei caught the silver sword, her eyes flickered, and she said to Qingtan, “If there’s nothing else, then I’ll take my leave first.”

Qingtan saw them to the gate of Lingbao Pavilion and said to Guan Luowei very seriously, “Thank you very much, Miss Guan.”

Guan Luowei nodded, “No need, please stay here.”

The two parted ways. Guan Luowei held the silver sword in her arms, her mind still thinking about Qingtan’s words, not even hearing Ling Chenyan’s several calls.

Ling Chenyan’s sharing failed, and she said indignantly to the system in her mind, [System, help me see where the big villain’s soul went, I’ve been calling her for so long and she hasn’t reacted.]

[…Could it be that she’s thinking about how to mold a physical body for you later?]

Ling Chenyan suddenly understood: [So that’s it!]

And so, Ling Chenyan silently lay in Guan Luowei’s arms all the way, not saying another word.

After a while, Guan Luowei finally stopped at the entrance of a magnificent mountain temple.

Master Guixu must have been informed, because as soon as the person and the sword arrived at the temple gate, a sweeping monk stepped forward and said, “May I ask if Benefactor’s surname is Guan?”

Guan Luowei nodded lightly with an “Mm.”

The little monk put his palms together, “Amitabha, please follow this benefactor.”

The halls and temples within the Buddhist Sect were arranged neatly, unlike other sects that always favored a ethereal, immortal air. The Buddhist Sect emphasized training in the mortal world. The sect was filled with the scent of sandalwood, the ground was spotless, and occasionally the faint sound of Buddhist chanting could be heard, which was also comforting.

Master Guixu had already been waiting for the two in his room. Seeing them arrive, he handed the golden cage in his hand to her.

“Amitabha,” Master Guixu said with a kind smile, “I wish you success.”

Having said that, he didn’t linger and quickly left the room. Not long after he went out, the voice of a monk could be heard, “Senior Brother, Master said you can’t go down the mountain to drink anymore in the future!”

“I’m not drinking, Senior Brother is just going down the mountain to take a look, I’ve been cooped up these past two days and I’m going stir-crazy.”

“…”

Guan Luowei looked at the Prison Heaven Cage, a divine artifact that had been handed to her so easily, and twitched the corner of her lips speechlessly. Master Guixu really trusted her.

A golden light slowly flashed, and a transparent golden middle-aged man appeared before Guan Luowei. “My master instructed me that I will cooperate with you to help this woman mold a physical body.”

Speaking of serious matters, Guan Luowei’s expression became much more solemn. She nodded faintly, said “Thank you for your trouble,” then placed the silver sword on the bed, her expression shifting slightly, and said, “Yin Ye, are you ready?”

Ling Chenyan felt a little nervous and said anxiously, “Ready.”

••••

On the other side, not long after Ling Chenyan and Guan Luowei left, someone reported to Qingtan that someone was requesting to see her, saying that he could cure the young lady’s soul loss.

Not many people currently knew that Qingtan’s illness had been cured, so it was normal for the guard to come and report. Qingtan had originally wanted to have someone refuse, but she suddenly remembered what the sword spirit had once told her.

Her eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc, and Qingtan said, “Receive him well, I’ll be there in a moment.”

The guard acknowledged and left.

Qingtan touched her sister’s head and whispered, “Sister will go out for a while and come back soon, okay?”

Qinghan blinked but didn’t speak. Qingtan smiled, got up, and was about to walk out, but as she turned around, someone tugged at the corner of her clothes. Turning her head to look at those watery eyes, Qingtan couldn’t bear it after all.

So she had someone prepare a wheelchair. After all, she was just going to meet this person, and she could just prevent him from getting close to Hanhan.

When Mu Yunze was informed by the guard to go inside and wait, he was overjoyed. He knew this method would work.

After sitting in the reception room for nearly a quarter of an hour, the charming woman in the cheongsam from his memory finally walked into the room, pushing a little girl in a wheelchair. Mu Yunze was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, and he greeted her naturally, “Miss Qingtan….”

The expression on Qingtan’s face was flawless as she sat down beside him and smiled, “May I ask for the gentleman’s name?”

A smile appeared on Mu Yunze’s face, and he said, “My surname is Mu, my name is Yunze.”

“Mr. Mu,” Qingtan nodded and said, “You said you could cure my sister’s soul loss?”

“Yes,” Mu Yunze lowered his head and took a sip of tea, saying, “I can cure your younger sister’s soul loss.”

“Then what do you need me to prepare?” Qingtan said faintly.

Mu Yunze didn’t say that first, but looked at Qinghan sitting in the wheelchair, a few traces of sadness appearing on his face. “Your younger sister looks so much like my younger sister. Seeing her reminds me of my younger sister…”

As Mu Yunze spoke, he glanced at Qingtan out of the corner of his eye. Seeing her expression soften slightly, he continued, “Unfortunately, my younger sister, she… alas, never mind.”

He sighed, looked at Qinghan, and a gentle look appeared in his eyes. “Little sister, can you call me big brother?”

Mu Yunze thought that this life was different from his previous one. He had waited in that forest for a long time but hadn’t seen Qingtan picking herbs. Thinking of the changes after his rebirth, Mu Yunze was afraid that Guan Luowei would get ahead of him again, so he planned to first build a closer relationship with Qingtan.

And the best way to build a closer relationship with Qingtan was through her younger sister. As long as this little girl called him big brother today, his connection with Qingtan would be halfway established.

He looked at the girl with anticipation, only to see the girl blink her big eyes, as if it took her a long time to come back to her senses. She looked at him, slightly opened her lips, and uttered one word: “Idiot?”

Mu Yunze’s expression cracked.

••••

At the same time, the molding of the physical body on Guan Luowei’s side was also approaching the final stage. After outlining the bones and meridians of the human body with those medicinal herbs, Guan Luowei spoke, “Prison Heaven Cage, now!”

As soon as her voice fell, the Prison Heaven Cage emitted a fierce golden light. At the same time, Ling Chenyan also felt her soul being dragged out.

“Focus!”

Just as Ling Chenyan was distracted, Guan Luowei’s reprimand woke her up. Ling Chenyan quickly focused her mind and, following the Prison Heaven Cage’s movements, plunged into the physical body prepared for her.

The physical body refined from medicinal herbs slowly surged, as if suddenly injected with life, appearing vibrant.

The body rapidly changed, first the fingertips, then the arms, then the torso, and then the head, slowly manifesting the young girl’s original body like a willow branch sprouting.

Guan Luowei always felt like she had forgotten something, but after carefully thinking about it, every step seemed correct, so she assumed she was just too nervous. However, she still remained vigilant. And this suspicion persisted until the young girl’s naked figure was revealed, at which point Guan Luowei suddenly realized that she had forgotten to prepare clothes for the girl.

In the blink of an eye, just as Ling Chenyan’s body was about to fully manifest, she instantly cast a spell to shield the Prison Heaven Cage and the Illusion God Lyre. Immediately afterward, she was about to grab clothes to cover the girl, but her hand was stopped mid-air by another fingertip as white as a scallion root.

The young girl suddenly sat up, holding her hand, her face full of surprise and curiosity. “Master, I can really touch you!”

Guan Luowei’s held hand stiffened, and then a blush crept up her neck all the way to her earlobes, also reddening her fair and jade-like cheeks. Guan Luowei turned her face away, not answering her words.

Ling Chenyan was completely unaware, only thinking that Guan Luowei was feeling shy in anticipation of reunion. It wasn’t until she excitedly wanted to see her long legs and looked down that the smile on her face slowly froze and cracked.

Where were her underpants?
