Transmigrating as a Crazy Villainess, She Becomes Invincible by Slacking Off - Chapter 16

Ruan Dongling’s neatly arranged Medicinal Pills on the table had been scattered, some even rolling onto the floor. The pill bottles were in disarray.

Worse, the small pile of Spirit Stones she had casually tossed onto the table the previous day was gone!

A thief?

Impossible!

Only the six of them were here. No other disciples would dare come up without permission!

As Ruan Dongling stood there, bewildered, she suddenly noticed Xiao Si lying nearby, belly up.

Xiao Si’s stomach was bulging noticeably.

Ruan Dongling quickly scooped him up.

Feeling his abdomen, she found it rock-hard.

“Xiao Si, Xiao Si?” Ruan Dongling called out in alarm. “No way… you didn’t eat all those Spirit Stones, did you?”

She shook Xiao Si gently.

His head lolled limply a few times before he blinked open his eyes, dazed. With a loud burp, a thick surge of spiritual energy wafted from his mouth.

Ruan Dongling stared in disbelief.

Her Spirit Stones had indeed been devoured by Xiao Si.

No way…

This Four-Legged Snake really was a money-eating beast!

Ruan Dongling was deeply worried about whether she could raise Xiao Si until he transformed into a dragon.

As she fretted, she felt her Sect Communication Jade Slip begin to vibrate.

She quickly retrieved the Jade Slip and pressed it against her forehead.

Immediately, the voice of the Transmission Elder echoed in her mind, instructing all new disciples to attend the Heart Method Class at the Hall of Merit Transmission.

Personal Disciples were no exception!

Ruan Dongling had assumed she could laze around on the mountain indefinitely, but now she realized she had to descend to the Hall of Merit Transmission for these theoretical lessons.

She reluctantly dragged herself out the door.

As she gazed down at the steep cliffs leading down the mountain, a flash of inspiration struck her!

She instantly understood the meaning behind Duan Tianhe’s knowing look from the previous day!

It seemed Duan Tianhe had faced the same predicament in his youth.

And indeed, the gift he had given her was proving to be the most useful item she possessed!

Without it, she would have had to wake up an hour earlier to walk down the mountain on foot.

Ruan Dongling focused her thoughts.

A golden streak flashed through the clouds, and Too Flashy’s dazzling figure materialized beside her.

Too Flashy landed gracefully, nuzzling Ruan Dongling’s hand with obvious delight.

“Let’s go! To the Hall of Merit Transmission!” Ruan Dongling declared, mounting Too Flashy with a wave of her hand, striking the pose of a spirited general.

Worried about leaving Xiao Si alone in her room while she attended class, she had placed the little creature in a small jar.

When she entered the Hall of Merit Transmission with the jar, the disciples at the entrance even inspected it.

Ruan Dongling wondered if she should ask her Second Senior Brother to forge a Magic Artifact that could house Xiao Si. Carrying the jar around was becoming quite inconvenient.

The hall was packed with newly inducted disciples. A quick glance revealed hundreds of students attending the same class, all Inner Sect Disciples.

The more the merrier, she thought. More people means it’ll be easier to slack off unnoticed.

The disciples scrambled for seats at the front.

Ruan Dongling arrived late, leaving only back-row spots available.

Clutching the jar, she wore a pained expression, as if disheartened by being unable to sit closer.

Inwardly, she was ecstatic.

She resolved to arrive just in time from now on. This way, she could slack off discreetly without drawing attention.

The Transmission Elder used a Magic Artifact that amplified his voice, ensuring his teachings reached every disciple clearly.

The Heart Method Class was utterly boring; Ruan Dongling couldn’t focus on a single word.

She sat in her seat, dozing off.

In the blink of an eye, class was dismissed.

Ding~! Host successfully slacked off. Comprehension of the Heavenly Heart Manual +5.

Suddenly, Ruan Dongling felt a mystical force jolt her drowsy mind awake.

Her understanding of the Heavenly Heart Manual, a fundamental cultivation manual, deepened instantly.

She felt that if the Transmission Elder were to call on her to explain the manual, she could lecture for two hours without pause.

She had assumed that after the Heart Method Class ended, they would be free to do as they pleased. To her surprise, the session was immediately followed by silent meditation!

The meditation was scheduled to last until noon—a full four hours!

Afterward, disciples who wished to eat could go to the dining hall, while those who didn’t want to waste time could continue meditating.

Meditation could continue until 7 PM!

From 7 PM to 9 PM, there were one-on-one sparring sessions!

Was this really necessary?!

However, once disciples reached the Qi Refining Third Layer, they would no longer be required to participate in these group cultivation sessions.

Ruan Dongling immediately vowed to reach the Qi Refining Third Layer as quickly as possible.

Yes, I definitely need to sleep more!

Wasting no time, Ruan Dongling used the entire meditation period to sleep.

She successfully slept for the full four hours.

Ding! Host has successfully slacked off. Reward: Eight days of cultivation!

When Ruan Dongling woke up, she discovered her cultivation had advanced significantly.

She also realized the cultivation reward was calculated hourly: one hour of sleep earned one day of cultivation.

Just as Ruan Dongling was basking in her delight, she noticed a young disciple with Eight-Character Eyebrows standing before her.

Already feeling guilty for sleeping, Ruan Dongling was startled to see someone standing there the moment she opened her eyes.

“Aiya!” she exclaimed, tumbling off the meditation cushion.

Seeing her sit up, the disciple immediately gave her a thumbs-up.

“I never expected someone with such talent to work so hard!”

Ruan Dongling sighed in relief. “What are you doing? Don’t you know you can scare people to death?”

The disciple’s Eight-Character Eyebrows gave him a comical appearance. Even with a grimace, he still looked cheerful.

“I’m a Laborer Disciple responsible for cleaning. Today’s meditation session is over. You can go back now.”

“I need to start cleaning!”

Ruan Dongling finally noticed that all the other meditating disciples had already left.

I accidentally slept too long… Ugh, how embarrassing.

She decided to skip the sparring practice. With hundreds of participants, no one would notice her absence, right?

The next day, Ruan Dongling was once again asleep in Heart Method Class when the Transmission Elder suddenly pulled her from her seat to his side.

Ruan Dongling jolted awake the moment her rear left the bench.

Her eyes widened in shock as she watched her body float effortlessly to the Transmission Elder’s side.

The Transmission Elder, his hair and beard snow-white, wore a benevolent smile as he gazed at Ruan Dongling.

Ruan Dongling snapped to attention, immediately rising to her feet and bowing respectfully.

“Elder Wu!”

Hearing her words, the nearest disciples gasped audibly.

The collective intake of breath sent a chill down Ruan Dongling’s spine.

“Hahaha, well, well, well! After living for over five hundred years, this is the first time someone has changed my surname…”

What’s going on? Did they switch instructors today?

Yesterday, Ruan Dongling had only caught the beginning of the class and heard the disciples addressing the elder as Elder Wu.

Today, she had taken a seat in the back row and fallen asleep before the lesson even began!

“Since you were so deeply immersed in your dream journey during class, your understanding of the Heavenly Heart Manual must be exceptionally profound…”

“Therefore, you shall teach today’s lesson.”

The old man smiled warmly, his tone gentle as he continued to gaze at Ruan Dongling with paternal affection.

Ruan Dongling stared at the old man’s smile, which hid a dagger beneath its surface, and felt her scalp tingle. She couldn’t help but swallow nervously.

Seeing her reaction, the old man’s smile grew even more amiable.

He rose from the meditation cushion where he had been sitting.

Ruan Dongling’s body was once again enveloped in a soft glow, and she found herself gently lowered onto the cushion where the old man had been sitting.

Gazing down at the hundreds of disciples below, their eyes burning with thirst for knowledge, Ruan Dongling’s cheeks flushed a rare crimson.

Ugh, this is so embarrassing.

“The Heavenly Heart Manual is the foundational cultivation manual of our sect, renowned for its gentle and nurturing qualities…”

Forced into the spotlight, Ruan Dongling began her lecture.

She spoke tirelessly for two hours, even pausing to have someone pour her a bowl of tea.

Throughout the lecture, the old man’s ever-present smile gradually transformed from a polite facade into a genuine, radiant expression.

Hmm, with such a profound understanding of the Heavenly Heart Manual, no wonder she could sleep through class.

Truly worthy of being the Sect Leader’s Personal Disciple! With her exceptional Heavenly Spirit Root, her comprehension is simply unparalleled!
