Transmigrated As The Villain's Sword (GL) - Chapter 6

Ling Chenyan fell into a coma after taking that hit. In a daze, she saw a dazzling golden light. The golden light emitted a lustrous glow, repairing her battered body.

The pain gradually subsided, and Ling Chenyan felt as if she were in soft, warm clouds. Drowsiness crept in, and before she completely fell asleep, she heard a sigh that seemed to come from ancient times—lonely, weathered, and detached from the world.

Several days later, Ling Chenyan finally woke up from her coma. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a crowd of old faces surrounding her, which startled her so much that she immediately jumped out of bed.

When the old men saw her get up, their faces all lit up with joy. “Your Highness, Your Highness, look, it’s alive!”

Ling Chenyan looked up in confusion and saw Guan Luowei, who was always calm and composed, walking towards her with large strides.

Her usually cold face almost couldn’t hide her eagerness. The corners of her eyes curved slightly upward, and the red tear mole beneath her eye shone even more brightly at that moment.

What a beauty attack!

This eagerness only lasted for a moment. Guan Luowei quickly regained her composure, stepped forward, took the sword hilt in her hand, and skillfully infused demonic power into Ling Chenyan with her fingertips. Ling Chenyan was already used to it and comfortably enjoyed the soaking.

Soon, Guan Luowei put down her hand and said softly, “How do you feel?”

Ling Chenyan floated up and down, nodding, and was about to speak, but then remembered that Guan Luowei couldn’t understand her. So she simply didn’t say anything.

Strangely, although she didn’t speak, Guan Luowei slowly breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had understood her meaning in that instant.

The demon artisans surrounding them also breathed a big sigh of relief when they saw Guan Luowei relax. Many of them looked at Ling Chenyan with complex expressions, and if you looked closely, you could even detect some resentful emotions.

Ling Chenyan raised an eyebrow in confusion, and then one of the old men stepped forward and respectfully bowed. “Your Highness, your sword is mostly restored now. If there’s nothing else, we’ll take our leave.”

Guan Luowei nodded and said, “Thank you for your hard work these past few days.”

“It was no trouble, no trouble,” one demon artisan quickly said. “It’s Your Highness who has been working hard. You’ve hardly taken care of your own injuries since returning three days ago. Now that your sword is restored, you should have the demon physician examine your injuries.”

Guan Luowei nodded to indicate that she understood, then asked someone to reward the artisans and send them away.

After sending the artisans away, Ling Chenyan and Guan Luowei stared at each other without making a sound. From the artisans’ fragmented words, she had learned what Guan Luowei had done during her unconscious period.

Tsk, tsk, ignoring her own injuries to take care of her first.

Ling Chenyan’s face remained expressionless, but her heart was bursting with joy. Who wouldn’t be happy to be so valued by such a beauty?

Guan Luowei quietly looked at the silver sword for a while, then lowered her eyes and said, “I must thank Yin Ye for blocking that attack for me that day.”

She had just transmigrated back, and her current body couldn’t handle her previous spiritual power, so her strength was naturally somewhat lacking. Once her body fully adapted in a few days, those who dared to hurt Yin Ye from behind… none of them would escape.

Ling Chenyan circled around Guan Luowei twice, feeling happy but also a little guilty. In fact, she could have chosen not to save her that day. Once Guan Luowei was seriously injured, she could have launched a surprise attack and perhaps completed her mission before the system returned.

Unfortunately, Ling Chenyan thought guiltily, she was still more inclined towards Guan Luowei. After all, the villain had suffered enough in her previous life, and she couldn’t bring herself to help the male lead harm the female lead.

So, the system must never find out about this, Ling Chenyan silently resolved.

With both of them injured, the previously scheduled sword spirit baptism was postponed.

Three days later, Guan Luowei took the silver sword to the Demon Clan’s sacred ground—the Cleansing Pool. As the name suggests, the Cleansing Pool was where the Demon Clan performed weapon baptisms. It was said that both the person and the weapon being cleansed only had one chance, usually used for the baptism of their natal weapon. Those who were cleansed would experience a rapid increase in cultivation in a short period, and the connection between them would become even closer.

Such sacred grounds existed not only in the Demon Clan but also among the demons and humans, with each having two to three. Those who were cleansed were usually the most promising juniors of their respective clans.

Passing through mountains and ridges, and through layers of demon guards, they finally reached the mountainside. After proving their identity to the demon guards guarding the cave entrance, Guan Luowei entered the cave.

Unlike others, who usually entered the Cleansing Pool together with a group of outstanding juniors chosen from within the clan, Guan Luowei had a special status and extremely strong talent, so she could enjoy the steaming pool alone.

From the moment Ling Chenyan entered the cave, her eyes lit up. A steaming hot spring! She hadn’t taken a hot bath in a long time, and today she could finally fulfill her wish!

With that thought, Ling Chenyan plunged into the pool. Just as she imagined, the hot spring water made her feel comfortable all over. She splashed around in the water for a while before slowly floating towards Guan Luowei when she heard her call.

“Yin Ye,” the woman’s warm breath fell on her ear, with a hint of indulgent helplessness. “Have you finished playing?”

Ling Chenyan was about to happily respond when she saw the beauty’s jade cheeks flushed red, her long, flowing black hair draped over her fair, rounded shoulders, and half of her body submerged in the water, barely revealing her delicate collarbone and alluring cleavage.

Her eyes were glistening, and she was looking at her with an indulgent gaze, gently pinching the sword hilt as if punishing her.

Ling Chenyan: “…” Help.

Ling Chenyan froze, completely unsure how to respond. Guan Luowei, seeing the sudden stillness of the silver sword, was also puzzled for a moment. But then, she quickly remembered that she had important matters to attend to.

Guan Luowei suspended the long sword in front of her, while she sat cross-legged in the water, slowly channeling the demonic power in her body into the silver sword. At the same time, strange ripples appeared on the water’s surface, and bursts of spiritual light entered her body with Guan Luowei’s movements, circulated through her body, and then flowed into the magic sword.

After the initial shock, Ling Chenyan, reminded by Guan Luowei, slowly closed her eyes and felt the cleansing brought by the Demon Clan’s sacred ground. It seemed like a sword and a person were sitting cross-legged facing each other, but in reality, two women were facing each other naked in the hot spring water.

As the cleansing progressed, Ling Chenyan inexplicably felt a stronger connection between her body and Guan Luowei. She didn’t dare to interrupt and only dared to mutter in her heart, [Why does this feel a little strange? Could it be that after the cleansing, she’ll be able to hear me speak?]

At the same time, Guan Luowei’s body trembled, but she suppressed the urge to open her eyes and continued to channel the demonic power to cleanse them both.

The last wisp of demonic power disappeared from Guan Luowei’s hand. She looked at the long sword floating in front of her, her face already calm.

Just now, she seemed to have heard a woman’s voice. But apart from her, if there was anyone else in the cave, it could only be Yin Ye’s sword spirit. But she clearly remembered that Yin Ye was just a one or two-year-old child at this time in her previous life, and even later, when it grew older, it behaved like an overly quiet child.

Not like the female voice she had just heard, sweet and gentle but with a hint of playfulness, which sounded like an adult. Moreover, what she had just said…

While Guan Luowei was pondering, the female voice sounded again: [Ah, what a pity, she still can’t hear me.]

Guan Luowei’s eyelashes fluttered. She almost instinctively looked at the long sword in front of her. She said she couldn’t hear her, but she clearly had. If it wasn’t her words, then what had she heard?

In a flash, Guan Luowei suddenly remembered a lost ancient secret technique—mind reading.

Thinking of this, Guan Luowei’s breathing quickened slightly. She raised her moist eyes and called out in a slightly hoarse voice, “Yin Ye.”

The next second, Ling Chenyan uncontrollably landed in Guan Luowei’s hand. She looked at the woman’s rosy cheeks, her water-filled eyes, and then at the almost non-existent distance between them. She couldn’t help but exclaim.

[I can’t, I can’t, it’s too close, it’s too close, I can’t take it anymore!] Ling Chenyan shouted in her heart, [With such beauty before me, how can this old pervert resist the temptation!]

Guan Luowei’s breath hitched, and then, as if realizing something, her face flushed crimson. She lightly bit her glistening lower lip and unconsciously sank further into the water, revealing only her head.

Ling Chenyan, seeing Guan Luowei suddenly become shy and only showing her head above the water, felt her heart melt. What a contrast! In public, she’s cold and aloof, but in private, she’s a shy little cutie who only shows her head above the water.

Ling Chenyan looked at the red tear mole that was even more enchanting, and after much restraint, she couldn’t help but exclaim, “Sorry, system, I’ve decided to defect from now on.”

Guan Luowei turned her back to her and said softly, “Yin Ye, go outside and take a look.”

Ling Chenyan, while admiring the beauty’s graceful back, floated outside, thinking that a shy beauty was too adorable.

••••

Inside the cave, Guan Luowei watched the departing figure of the spirit sword and finally breathed a sigh of relief. After gracefully stepping out of the water and dressing, Guan Luowei’s face returned to its usual calm.

Before leaving the cave, she glanced back at the pool inside. The ripples were calm and peaceful, and no one knew what had just happened.

Ling Chenyan floated outside the cave, leisurely enjoying the scenery below the mountain, when she heard the voices of the two demon guards behind her, “Your Highness.”

Ling Chenyan turned around and saw Guan Luowei walking out of the cave.

She nodded lightly, glanced at Ling Chenyan, and then walked down the mountain. Her cold demeanor showed no hint of the enchanting scene in the cave.

But Ling Chenyan didn’t mind. She quickly followed Guan Luowei, her sword body bouncing up and down, looking very cheerful.

Guan Luowei couldn’t help but steal a glance at the silver sword beside her. Seeing its bouncing and swaying movements, she inexplicably thought of a lively young girl humming a song and skipping along in a good mood.

Guan Luowei looked away, feeling inexplicably lighter.

As soon as they returned to the demon palace, they were summoned to the demon hall by the demon guards, saying that the Demon Emperor had something to discuss. Guan Luowei’s expression quickly turned cold and she followed them to the demon hall.

Now that the Demon Clan was gradually on the right track, discussions were usually not held in the demon hall unless there was an urgent matter.

As expected, when Guan Luowei arrived at the demon hall with Ling Chenyan, it was already full of people. The Demon Emperor sat at the head of the table with a serious expression, nodded to Guan Luowei, and asked her to sit beside him.

The atmosphere in the demon hall was solemn. A man on the Demon Emperor’s left stood up first and said, “Your Majesty, many of the disciples our Demon Clan sent out for training a month ago have suddenly lost contact in recent days. Near the areas where they disappeared, we found signs of fighting. The incidents were sudden, and many disciples even disappeared on the same day. If we hadn’t received a distress signal from a disciple yesterday, we might not have known about this until now.”

After he finished speaking, another person continued, “Yes, Your Majesty. We suspect that someone is deliberately harming our Demon Clan’s training disciples. Moreover, those disciples are some of the most talented in our clan. If they all disappear, our Demon Clan can’t bear the cost!”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Many people echoed their words. The old Demon Emperor frowned and said in a deep voice, “This matter is indeed strange. First, contact the remaining disciples and tell them to return as soon as possible. Also, Tong Di, take some people to investigate this matter. If someone is deliberately targeting our Demon Clan’s disciples, we certainly can’t let them go.”

Just as the red-haired man was about to accept the order, Guan Luowei suddenly spoke, “Your Majesty, it would be better for me to investigate this matter. Tong Di should stay in the clan.”

Upon hearing this, the demon clan members were stunned for a moment, and then they all objected, “Your Highness, this matter can be investigated by Tong Di. It might not be safe for you to go out.”

Guan Luowei lowered her eyes lightly and said, “This matter started because of me, so I should investigate it.”

She had a suspicion about who was behind this. The Lingxiao Immortal Sect was always protective of its peoples. Since she had injured Mu Yunze so badly, it was within her expectations that they would find an opportunity to attack the Demon Clan.

The demon clan members were confused by her words. The old Demon Emperor secretly raised an eyebrow at Guan Luowei, asking if it was okay for her to handle this matter. Guan Luowei gave her grandfather an affirmative look.

Their little exchange went unnoticed by the others. After receiving a definite answer, the old Demon Emperor cleared his throat and made a decision, “Good. Since Your Highness has the will, then this matter will be investigated by her.”
