Transmigrated As The Villain's Sword (GL) - Chapter 31

The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Ling Chenyan was flustered and wanted to cover herself, but there were two key areas after all. After a flurry of awkward movements, she could only turn her back, hug her knees, and her face was so flushed it seemed like it would drip bl00d.

Fortunately, Guan Luowei wasn’t the type to take advantage of others’ misfortune. She had turned her head away at the first instant.

The room fell silent for a moment. Guan Luowei stood up, took a set of clothes from her storage bag and placed them by the bed, then walked out without looking back.

The spot on her fingertip where the girl had held it felt faintly hot. She curled her fingers, and in the instant she closed the door, she inexplicably looked at the girl on the bed.

The girl’s black hair cascaded like a waterfall, covering her porcelain-white body, with only her slender, almost breakable waist emitting a pearly white sheen.

With just one glance, Guan Luowei withdrew her gaze as if burned. She closed the door forcefully, stood at the entrance, her mind filled with that pearly white, slender back.

At this time, Ling Chenyan in the room, after hearing the somewhat loud sound of the door closing, finally relaxed her tense body.

Shaking off the imaginary sweat on her forehead, Ling Chenyan picked up the set of clothes Guan Luowei had prepared for her, looked at them, and smiled, “Truly worthy of the big villain’s style.”

It was strange that as a big villain, she didn’t love wearing cool black clothes, but instead favored those elegant, plain colors.

Although the system’s vision was pitch black, it knew what had just happened. Seeing Ling Chenyan dodging in a panic, it chuckled and said, [Weren’t you usually rushing to stick close to her? Now that she’s right in front of you, you’re hiding.]

The clothes Guan Luowei had chosen fit perfectly. Ling Chenyan looked at herself in the mirror, feeling very satisfied, and replied to it, [Please, I wasn’t wearing anything just now. If I got close, wouldn’t she think I was a pervert?]

[…Pretty much.]

Ling Chenyan: [? What’s pretty much?]

[Cough cough… nothing.]

Ling Chenyan ignored the system’s strange words, patted her cheeks, and only opened the door after the redness on her face had faded.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw the big villain standing by the door, her expression calm, her gaze wandering, as if thinking about something.

Both of them were stunned for a moment, and Ling Chenyan instantly became nervous, “Mas, Master, I’m ready.”

“Mm,” Guan Luowei nodded faintly and said, “It’s time to go back.”

“Mm, okay,” Ling Chenyan replied, but still felt a bit awkward and unfamiliar between them.

Previously, she had always interacted with Guan Luowei in the form of a sword. Suddenly becoming human made her feel unfamiliar and unsure how to get along.

Guan Luowei hesitated for a moment in her steps, but still took the lead and walked in front of Ling Chenyan, while Ling Chenyan silently followed behind her.

After walking a few steps, Guan Luowei suddenly remembered something, but when she glanced at the girl behind her, she ultimately didn’t go back. She only flicked her fingers and sent out a wisp of demonic power, which slowly slipped into Master Guixu’s room.

For unknown reasons, when they returned to the inn, they didn’t fly quickly but walked slowly step by step. Guan Luowei listened to the girl’s inner thoughts as they walked.

[It feels like I suddenly became human, I even feel a little clumsy walking.]

Guan Luowei’s pace remained unchanged, but the time interval between her steps lengthened slightly.

[I really miss the days when I didn’t have to walk, either floating directly or being held in the big villain’s arms.]

Guan Luowei pursed her lips, and the speed of her steps unconsciously slowed down again.

[Sigh, now that I’ve become human, I don’t know how to get along with the big villain anymore, especially after what happened earlier, it’s so awkward.]

Guan Luowei hesitated for a long time before finally saying, “Do you still have the connection with the silver sword now?”

Ling Chenyan was chatting excitedly with the system when Guan Luowei suddenly spoke. She paused for a moment before replying, “Yes, I even feel like my connection with it is stronger now.”

“Oh?” The two happened to walk out of the temple gate. Guan Luowei stopped and turned back to look at the girl, asking, “How so?”

Ling Chenyan lightly scratched her face with her index finger, then her left fingertip moved slightly, and a silver sword slowly floated between them. In the next second, Ling Chenyan’s figure flashed and disappeared into thin air, and the sword, as before, instantly burrowed into her arms, saying, “I feel like I’ve reached the point of being one with the sword.”

The system silently said, [Could this be the legendary—sword-human?]

[…Shut up.]

Guan Luowei was thoughtful, pretending nothing had happened, and continued walking back, holding the silver sword, saying, “Is there anything you’re not used to?”

“No.” Ling Chenyan paused and then said, “Actually, there is. For example, I just realized that walking is also a very tiring thing.”

The corner of Guan Luowei’s lips slightly curved, her tense body slowly relaxed, and she parted her rosy lips, uttering two words: “Spoiled brat.”

The silver sword’s voice finally returned to normal, huffing, “I’m not! I’m just not used to it!”

Guan Luowei walked further and further away holding the sword, the maple leaves by the roadside slowly falling and landing at her feet, just like that year.

After fooling around all day, Master Guixu was finally found and brought back by Abbot Guiyi in the evening. As usual, after being thrown into his room by his fellow disciples, Master Guixu drunkenly collapsed onto the stool in the room.

“You’re back?”

The middle-aged man’s voice, carrying an indescribable divinity, slowly sounded.

Master Guixu glanced over and smiled, “Prison Heaven Cage, how was it? Did it succeed?”

Prison Heaven Cage seemed to be used to his appearance and still said faintly, “Succeeded.”

“That’s good,” Master Guixu said with a smile, “The future depends on her, I hope she can become stronger.”

Prison Heaven Cage was silent for a long while, then said, “That soul is a bit strange. It’s clearly an outsider, yet it has the aura of this world. Will she become an obstacle?”

Master Guixu opened his eyes and asked, “Did you do what I asked you to do?”

“Mm.”

“Then it doesn’t matter. At a critical moment, she might become our trump card.”

After Master Guixu finished speaking, he stood up as if he had sobered up, stretched lazily, and said, “I’m tired today, I should get a good night’s sleep.”

Prison Heaven Cage opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Master Guixu had already walked past the screen.

Then, he saw the bare bed board and the black, charred remnants of the quilt on the bed, as if it had been burned.

After being stunned for a long while, Master Guixu finally reacted and couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his lips, saying, “This fellow…”

Was lying on his bed for a bit such a big deal that he only left him with a bed board?

He sighed helplessly, walked to the bedside, but found a bag of spirit stones next to the quilt remnants.

Master Guixu’s eyes lit up, as if he saw the money for tomorrow’s wine. The corner of his lips curled into a smile as he muttered to himself, “I guess you still have some conscience.”

The atmosphere in Xiling City was truly peaceful, and the cultivators and people from various places were also very friendly. Guan Luowei and Ling Chenyan thought about staying here for a while longer. In addition, Qingtan’s younger sister had not fully recovered, so the two stayed here with peace of mind.

However, now that Ling Chenyan had a human body, it was no longer appropriate for Guan Luowei to share a room with her, so she thought about opening another room next to her own.

“Esteemed immortal, it’s not that I don’t want to give you a room, but our inn really doesn’t have any extra rooms,” the innkeeper said, looking straight at the pile of spirit stones in front of him, his eyes almost popping out, but he could only refuse with tears in his eyes.

“None left?” Guan Luowei raised an eyebrow, “But weren’t there many empty rooms in the inn a few days ago?”

“That’s because you don’t know,” the innkeeper said, “In a few days, our Xiling City will have a grand event famous in the cultivation world, so many outsiders have come, and the rooms in all the inns in our Xiling City have been booked.”

“Grand event?” Ling Chenyan stepped forward and asked, “What grand event?”

Unlike Guan Luowei, who wore a bamboo hat when going out, Ling Chenyan’s overly beautiful and pure face always attracted many people’s attention. The innkeeper in front of her was no exception. When the girl got so close, his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He stammered, about to speak, but saw the woman wearing a bamboo hat beside the girl suddenly pull the girl to her side and say in a low voice, “I know, I’ll tell you.”

Having said that, she pulled Ling Chenyan back to their room, leaving the innkeeper with a face of sorrow and envy.

Ling Chenyan was pulled all the way by Guan Luowei. After they reached the room, Guan Luowei let go of her hand and lifted the bamboo hat on her head, saying to her, “What do you want to know? Ask me.”

Thinking of the scene where the girl approached the innkeeper just now, she inexplicably felt a trace of irritability in her heart. Without much thought, she pulled the girl into her own room.

She had originally clearly wanted to open a separate room for the girl, but inexplicably, she had personally brought her into this room. And at this moment, looking at the girl’s overly beautiful and eye-catching face, before she could even ask, she said first, “Next time you go out, you wear a bamboo hat too.”

“Ah? Oh oh, okay.” Although she didn’t know why Guan Luowei wanted her to wear a bamboo hat, she still accepted.

“Mm,” the trace of irritability in Guan Luowei’s heart was quietly smoothed by the girl’s obedient appearance. This time, without waiting for her to ask, Guan Luowei said to her, “Xiling City has a festival every three years called the Bonfire Blessing Festival…”

Ling Chenyan sat beside Guan Luowei, obediently listening to her talk about the Bonfire Blessing Festival. This festival was jointly organized by the Buddhist Sect and Lingbao Pavilion, the largest local power, and lasted for a month. Lingbao Pavilion was responsible for the venue, and the Buddhist Sect was responsible for the blessing. It was mainly a festival prepared for those who already had Dao companions or some single young men and women, wishing those who formed Dao companions a harmonious union for a hundred years, and wishing the single ones to find their other half as soon as possible.

The lively bonfire party, combined with the sacred blessing, things that didn’t seem to match so well were fused together, attracting the attention of countless people.

In addition, this wasn’t purely a party. During the Bonfire Blessing Festival, the Buddhist Sect and Lingbao Pavilion also jointly held a grand competition. The two participants must be Dao companions, competing in a ring format. Those who achieved the final victory would receive a grand prize prepared by the Buddhist Sect and Lingbao Pavilion.

It sounded really interesting.

After Guan Luowei finished introducing it, she took a sip of tea and continued to add, “However, anyone participating in the event must pay a thousand spirit stones.”

Ling Chenyan: “…So it’s actually a way to make money.”

Guan Luowei smiled slightly and nodded, “You could say that.”

“The Buddhist Sect would actually participate in organizing such a competition!” Ling Chenyan said, “I thought they were all ascetic monks!”

Guan Luowei remained noncommittal. Just as she was about to turn her head to speak to her, she saw the girl leaning closer to her at some point. Her thick eyelashes fluttered, like butterflies in spring. Guan Luowei looked at the girl’s face, which was so white it reflected light, and her heart skipped a beat for no reason.

Before the girl looked up, she very quickly withdrew her gaze, and to cover up her previous gaffe, she asked, “Do you want to go and take a look with me?”

Author’s Note:

Ling: Isn’t it only for Dao companions?! What does the big villain mean by this?!

System: Can’t you see it yet? Your title as the young madam is about to be confirmed!
