Transmigrating as a Crazy Villainess, She Becomes Invincible by Slacking Off - Chapter 1

“Ruan Dongling! Yan’er sacrificed her Spirit Root and destroyed her cultivation to save you. Even giving her your life wouldn’t be enough to repay her.”

“Giving her your Spirit Root is your duty. You must not harbor any resentment.”

The tall man stood before Ruan Dongling, his entire being radiating an icy chill. His handsome, refined face was utterly devoid of warmth.

Ruan Dongling stood frozen, overwhelmed by the torrent of information flooding her mind.

She had transmigrated into a novel, becoming the villainous female supporting character who shared her name!

The man before her was none other than Qi Sichen, the male lead of the story!

Hearing these familiar lines, Ruan Dongling, well-versed in the plot, cursed him inwardly as a “fucking idiot.”

The female lead, Yun Yan’er, had cultivated recklessly, causing her to suffer a qi deviation that damaged her Spirit Root. She concealed this injury, but during a training expedition, she framed Ruan Dongling for the incident.

Everyone witnessed Yun Yan’er being struck in the dantian by a demonic cultivator’s palm while saving Ruan Dongling, resulting in the destruction of her Spirit Root.

Qi Sichen, as the male lead, blindly sided with Yun Yan’er. In a fit of rage, he forcibly extracted Ruan Dongling’s Spirit Root.

Ruan Dongling had no desire to be anyone’s scapegoat!

Unfortunately, whether she wanted to be or not was irrelevant. If she didn’t want to be, that didn’t mean she wouldn’t be!

Just as she was about to explain herself, an indescribable, searing pain erupted from her dantian.

Qi Sichen had sliced open her dantian with his sword and gouged out her Spirit Root!

That dog of a male lead! He has no sense of martial ethics!

In that instant, Ruan Dongling was in such agony that she couldn’t breathe.

Qi Sichen’s hatred for Ruan Dongling had reached its peak. Coupled with his concern for Yun Yan’er, he showed no mercy when extracting her Spirit Root, feeling not a shred of regret.

Ruan Dongling, with her fifth-layer Qi Refining cultivation, stood no chance against Qi Sichen, a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

A gemstone-like object, enveloped in a faint azure glow, fell into Qi Sichen’s hand.

The object radiated a beautiful translucence, its interior brimming with essence and spiritual energy, resembling a pool of clear, azure spring water that brought a sense of serenity.

This was Ruan Dongling’s Water Spiritual Root.

With her Spirit Root severed, Ruan Dongling’s consciousness teetered on the brink of collapse.

In her mind, she cursed the dog man’s ancestors for eighteen generations, yet not a single word escaped her lips.

“Since you offered your Spirit Root to Yan’er, I’m willing to honor our marriage contract and become your Dao Companion for ten years…”

Heh, ten years as a Dao Companion—a reluctant ten years at that.

With such an absurd proposition, he dared to demand a Spirit Root, which was more precious than life itself to a cultivator.

As he spoke, Qi Sichen acted like a wronged, innocent man making a concession. Ruan Dongling seemed like the oppressor, bullying him!

Yet it was he who had just sliced open her abdomen with his sword and carved out her Spirit Root. Bl00d still dripped from his blade.

Despite forcibly extracting her Spirit Root, he claimed she had offered it willingly.

Qi Sichen snorted coldly. “From now on, don’t bother me again, and don’t cause trouble for Yan’er. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

“You… better watch yourself!”

With these words, Qi Sichen cast a dismissive glance at Ruan Dongling before turning away without a shred of mercy.

Transmigrating into a cultivation world only to have my Spirit Root ripped out right from the start? How the hell am I supposed to survive this sh1t?!

Damn you, Heavenly Dao!

Ruan Dongling barely managed to curse the Heavenly Dao before completely losing consciousness.

She had transmigrated into a group-pet cultivation novel where the female lead was a universally beloved Mary Sue. Though she was a complete white lotus, the male lead and all the male supporting characters were hopelessly devoted to her.

As for Ruan Dongling, the villainous female supporting character, she was born into a prestigious family with exceptional talent, yet she was universally despised—even dogs turned up their noses at her.

She was the daughter of Ruan Liuruo, the Sect Leader of the Heaven Origin Sect, and the beloved daughter of the “Flowing Clouds” couple, the immortal pair of the cultivation world.

She possessed a top-grade water spiritual root and a hidden Sword Embryo Physique! Under normal circumstances, ascending to godhood in the future would have been almost certain.

But then Qi Sichen, the male lead, appeared, and Ruan Dongling became infatuated, losing all interest in cultivation.

Seeing their daughter’s genuine affection for Qi Sichen, the Flowing Clouds couple arranged a marriage contract between the two.

Ignoring her parents’ objections, Ruan Dongling concealed her identity and followed Qi Sichen into the Dustless Sect, becoming his junior sister.

Desperate to catch Qi Sichen’s attention, Ruan Dongling schemed against her parents, diverting all sorts of cultivation resources to him.

Qi Sichen remained unmoved, his disdain for Ruan Dongling only deepening.

Even so, Ruan Dongling never gave up hope.

After her Spirit Root was forcibly extracted, Ruan Dongling’s life took a series of drastic turns.

She turned to the dark side.

Becoming the ultimate villainous boss in the novel, she ranked first in combat power among all characters.

Yet as the story’s ultimate villainous plot device, her sole purpose was to pave the way for the male and female leads’ ascension to godhood.

Thus, she was destined to be universally reviled, her body destroyed and her cultivation extinguished.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Ruan Dongling regained consciousness.

Sorting through her memories and the novel’s plot, she endured the pain and sneered inwardly.

“Let some other fool be this scapegoat villain! Not me!”

Ruan Dongling wasn’t one to suffer in silence. After enduring such humiliation, revenge was inevitable.

But now that her Spirit Root was gone, what could she possibly do?

Where was her transmigrator’s golden finger? Her System?

Just then, a cold, mechanical voice echoed in her mind.

Ding~! The “Slacker System” has detected a suitable host. Commencing binding!

Ding~! System binding complete!

“Slacker System?”

Hearing the System’s name, Ruan Dongling jolted upright, only to aggravate the wound in her abdomen. She winced in pain, baring her teeth.

Just as Ruan Dongling was about to ask the System a few questions, it suddenly spoke again.

Ding! The Water Spiritual Root provided by the host has been successfully transplanted into the Child of the World’s body!

Child of the World? That must be the female lead, Yun Yan’er!

Ruan Dongling’s heart jolted. Damn it!

That Dog Man works fast! He’s already transplanted my Spirit Root into the female lead’s body?

Yun Yan’er originally had a Dual Water-Wood Spiritual Root. Now, through misfortune, she’s gained a single Water Spiritual Root!

Isn’t this just her growing stronger by stepping over my corpse?

The System has confirmed the host’s successful donation!

Reward: Water Spiritual Root upgrade item… Top-Grade Ice Spiritual Root!

Reward: Heaven-Grade High-Rank Cultivation Manual… Six Harmonies Ice Heart Manual!

Reward: Ten years of cultivation!

Huh? What’s going on?

As soon as the System’s voice faded, Ruan Dongling felt a gentle, warm energy instantly flood her entire body. The wound on her abdomen rapidly healed.

The blank space in her soul was filled by the Ice Spiritual Root, which radiated a dazzling white light.

Then, with the Spirit Root as its source, pure spiritual energy surged through her meridians like a warm spring, automatically circulating three times.

The cultivation secrets of the Six Harmonies Ice Heart Manual appeared in Ruan Dongling’s mind.

In that instant, she had already mastered the manual’s incantations!

Because her Spirit Root had been excavated, Ruan Dongling’s cultivation level had plummeted from the fifth layer of Qi Refining to the first.

Now, with ten years of cultivation restored, she had leaped from the first layer of Qi Refining to the peak of the Qi Refining stage!

All the damage her body had sustained from the Spirit Root excavation vanished in an instant.

Her current condition was arguably at its peak!

However, reaching the peak of Qi Refining in just ten years seemed a bit underwhelming, didn’t it?

The cultivation rewards are calculated based on the host’s inherent cultivation speed. Given your previous cultivation pace, ten years would only yield this much progress.

Sensing Ruan Dongling’s thoughts, the System offered an explanation.

Ah, I see. So she really was a love-struck fool even zombies wouldn’t eat!

With such extraordinary talent, she wasted her days on romance instead of cultivating!

Ruan Dongling continued, “What was going on with the System just now? Why did it give me so many rewards?”

Contributing valuable items to the Child of the World to enhance their cultivation is also considered a form of the host’s ‘slacking’ behavior.

Acts of self-sacrifice for others are classified as ‘slacking’ and trigger advancement!

Corresponding to this behavior, the System possesses a hidden function: the ‘Donation Return Function’!

The host inadvertently activated this hidden function, thus receiving the System rewards.

“So, if I give Yun Yan’er all sorts of good things, the System will reward me in return?”

As long as the host donates valuable items to the Child of the World, they will receive rewards multiplied according to the item’s value.

For example, if the host contributes one Qi Gathering Pill to the Child of the World, they will receive ten Qi Gathering Pills in return!

If the host contributes one Spirit Gathering Pill, they will receive eight Spirit Gathering Pills in return!

“Child of the World? Does that mean there’s more than just Yun Yan’er?”

The Child of the World is a person blessed with great fortune. Currently, the System has detected only Yun Yan’er and Qi Sichen as Children of the World.

Other Children of the World can only be detected once the host comes into contact with them.

Ruan Dongling was overjoyed. If she could only give good things to Yun Yan’er, how stifling would that be?

“This is a hidden function, so what’s your main function?”

The host can receive rewards simply by slacking off!

“What counts as slacking off? Sleeping all day? Not cultivating?” Ruan Dongling asked, her excitement growing.

Any action that hinders the male or female lead’s cultivation progress, steals their opportunities, advances one’s own cultivation, or deviates from the established plot will be considered “slacking off”!

So that’s it!

Ruan Dongling’s heart leaped with joy.

This was practically tailor-made for her, a corporate slave!

While others toiled from dawn till midnight, even sacrificing sleep, to advance their cultivation, she could simply sleep in and slack off to become stronger!

This is too good to be true!

Feeling smugly satisfied, Ruan Dongling sprang out of bed.

She still had plenty to do. Even slacking off required resolving some immediate problems first.

Remembering the System’s refund function, Ruan Dongling eagerly opened her storage pouch with trembling hands.

Her heart sank.

There were barely any good items left!

The original owner had given them all away to that Dog Man, Qi Sichen!

Muttering curses, Ruan Dongling pulled out a transparent crystal tablet from the pouch and crushed it with a firm grip.

Next, she retrieved a jade pendant and solemnly hung it around her neck.

“Thank goodness she wasn’t foolish enough to give these away!”

“What a love-struck idiot! Even a dog would reject her!” Ruan Dongling fumed.

Clapping her hands, Ruan Dongling finally stepped out of the door with a sense of relief.

After Ruan Dongling’s Spirit Root was extracted, the Sect Leader of the Dustless Sect used her inability to cultivate as an excuse to expel her.

Still clinging to hope for Qi Sichen, Ruan Dongling produced the marriage contract and demanded he marry her.

To her shock, Qi Sichen flatly denied the contract’s validity, claiming her parents had forced him into it.

Heartbroken and enraged, Ruan Dongling tore up the contract and left the sect.

The Dustless Sect, however, publicly declared that Ruan Dongling had violated sect rules, disrespected her Master, and secretly harmed her fellow disciples. After her crimes were exposed, they claimed, she had fled the sect.

To make their lies convincing, they even issued a sect-wide arrest warrant for her!

This betrayal devastated Ruan Dongling, worsening her injuries and darkening her temperament.

But now, with the modern soul of Ruan Dongling transmigrated into her body, none of this would come to pass.

She had no interest in this trash sect or this trash man.

If she were to leave or dissolve the marriage contract, it would be on her terms!

And she would reclaim every treasure the original Ruan Dongling had foolishly given away!
