Transmigrating as a Crazy Villainess, She Becomes Invincible by Slacking Off - Chapter 25

In the Cultivation World, who wouldn’t want to become stronger?

Who wouldn’t aspire to reach the pinnacle of the Immortal Path and seek eternal life?

Moreover, Ran Bing carried a deep-seated bl00d feud.

Reaching Foundation Establishment with Three Spiritual Roots was considered fortunate, but with Dual Spirit Roots, one could reach the Golden Core stage, even the Nascent Soul!

Ran Bing took a deep breath, her gaze toward Ruan Dongling turning fierce. “What do you want me to do?”

Ran Bing possessed narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes, a high-bridged nose, and full, rosy lips. If not for her dark skin, she would have been a stunning beauty!

As she glared at Ruan Dongling, the bright, shimmering light in her eyes accentuated their captivating allure, radiating a unique and alluring charm.

Ruan Dongling’s heart skipped a beat under that intense gaze. She cursed herself inwardly, “You pervert! How can you find every woman you see attractive?”

It was then that Ruan Dongling noticed Ran Bing’s dark complexion. Yet, the skin deep within her inadvertently exposed neck was as fair and delicate as jade.

Swallowing hard, Ruan Dongling quickly averted her gaze.

Do not look at what is improper, do not look at what is improper…

Seeing Ran Bing’s reaction, Ruan Dongling genuinely didn’t want to pressure her further.

She barely knew Ran Bing; today was their first meeting, and they stood on opposing sides. In this Cultivation World, where every interaction was calculated, Ran Bing’s distrust was perfectly understandable.

Ruan Dongling pressed the Clear Spirit Pill and several other Medicinal Pills into Ran Bing’s hands.

“You don’t need to do anything. I’m giving you these pills simply because you caught my eye.”

Ran Bing gazed at the Clear Spirit Pill in her palm, her eyes narrowing slightly, deep within them remained a profound wariness.

Still no trust.

“Why would you give me such a precious pill? If you took it to an auction, countless people would go mad for it…”

“You could exchange this pill for endless cultivation resources. Why would you give it to someone you just met?”

Ran Bing clutched the pill in one hand, while her other hand subtly retreated into her sleeve.

If Ruan Dongling hadn’t used her True Sight Eye to discern Ran Bing’s true cultivation level, she would have genuinely feared for her safety.

With her Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, Ruan Dongling sensed Ran Bing subtly gathering Spiritual Power in her other hand.

The hand hidden within her sleeve likely gripped a deadly weapon.

She quickly explained, “Though these Medicinal Pills are precious, they’re useless to me! I have a single spiritual root!”

“As for Spirit Stones and resources, I have more than enough!”

“I’m giving them to you because you need them more than I do!”

Ran Bing stared intently into Ruan Dongling’s eyes, but she couldn’t detect any ulterior motives.

It seemed Ruan Dongling genuinely wanted to help her by giving her such valuable pills.

Yet Ran Bing’s own experiences had taught her not to trust anyone easily.

If her own family could betray and frame her, why would a stranger show her kindness?

Countless thoughts raced through Ran Bing’s mind in an instant.

“Don’t overthink it,” Ruan Dongling said, sensing Ran Bing’s hesitation. “Just take these as a gesture of friendship!”

Afraid Ran Bing might refuse, Ruan Dongling pressed the Medicinal Pills into her arms and immediately began backing away, creating distance between them.

“My name is Ruan Dongling! Remember it well!”

With a faint smile at Ran Bing, she turned and strode away.

Ran Bing stood rooted to the spot, her gaze fixed on Ruan Dongling’s retreating figure.

Suddenly, Ruan Dongling whirled around. “You’d better eat it now! This treasure isn’t safe with you!”

Just as Ruan Dongling’s figure was about to disappear from sight, Ran Bing finally spoke, “Why?”

Ruan Dongling turned back, her gaze fixed on Ran Bing, now a tiny speck in the distance. Cupping her hands around her mouth like a megaphone, she shouted with all her might, drawing strength from her Dantian:

“Because I like you!”

With that, Ruan Dongling fled in a flurry of motion.

The Treasure Basin! Who wouldn’t like it?

Ran Bing’s face flushed crimson, the blush spreading to the tips of her ears.

“Absurd!” Ran Bing couldn’t quite grasp the mix of shame and anger churning within her.

How could a woman like another woman?!

“Hmph! Utter nonsense!”

Ran Bing stood there for a moment, her face still burning, before finally turning in a huff and stomping down the mountain.

She never imagined she would be teased by another woman.

That girl… Ruan Dongling is young and probably doesn’t have any malicious intentions. Besides, I already have Three Spiritual Roots, so she wouldn’t need to go to such lengths to harm me…

Clutching the Clear Spirit Pill in her hand, Ran Bing mentally steeled herself. After a moment’s hesitation, she finally gritted her teeth and swallowed the pill.

What the hell. I’m practically a cripple anyway, my life’s already worthless. Even if it’s poison, so what if I die?!

I’ll use this life to trust someone one last time!

After swallowing the Clear Spirit Pill, Ran Bing felt a surge of dense spiritual energy coursing through her body.

This spiritual energy was domineering and relentless, charging with unstoppable force straight toward her Spirit Roots in her Dantian!

Her original Three Spiritual Roots were Wind, Thunder, and Fire. The one she wanted to eliminate was the Wind Spirit Root.

The Wind Spirit Root was already the weakest of the three, and Ran Bing had always intended to cultivate Thunder-type magic anyway!

Controlling the domineering spiritual energy, Ran Bing began guiding it toward the Wind Spirit Root…

Ruan Dongling rarely left the Sect, and the mountain path offered such beautiful scenery that she lingered, enjoying the sights and taking her time returning.

Ding! Host’s contribution of “Clear Spirit Pill” successful! Reward: Three Clear Spirit Pills!

Ding! Host’s contribution of “Recovery Pill” successful! Reward: Ten bottles of Recovery Pills!

Ding! Host’s contribution of “Spirit Gathering Pill” successful! Reward: Ten bottles of Spirit Gathering Pills!

Hearing the System’s notifications, Ruan Dongling’s grin stretched from ear to ear. This felt absolutely wonderful!

She avoided benefiting that scummy couple, earned goodwill with a Demon Clan leader, and reaped such abundant rewards—a triple win!

Her steps grew even lighter with each stride.

However, as she neared the Sect gate, Ruan Dongling’s smile vanished.

A figure stood on the mountain path ahead.

Qi Sichen.

He had been swept out of the Heaven Origin Sect by Duan Tianhe’s gust of wind, his whereabouts unknown. Yet here he was, as if waiting specifically for her!

His white robes billowed in the mountain breeze, his elegant figure resembling a celestial being descended to the mortal realm. An aura of icy aloofness radiated from him, warning mortals to keep their distance.

Qi Sichen’s handsome face remained expressionless, his indifferent gaze fixed silently on Ruan Dongling.

He said nothing.

Ruan Dongling paused for only two seconds before continuing her ascent, completely ignoring him as if he were invisible.

“Stop!” Qi Sichen suddenly called out as they passed each other.

Ruan Dongling, already past him and climbing higher, didn’t even turn her head. “You think I’ll stop just because you tell me to? Who do you think you are?”

“Ruan Dongling!” Qi Sichen’s voice was now laced with fury.

No one had ever made him this angry in such a short span of time.

“I said stop!”

By now, Ruan Dongling had climbed past Qi Sichen and stood on a higher step. She rolled her eyes, turned around, and looked down at him condescendingly. “What do you want? Are you finally here to return my resources?”

Qi Sichen turned to face her, tilting his head slightly to look up at her. The anger on his face gradually faded.

With a flick of his wrist, he tossed a Storage Pouch toward Ruan Dongling.

“Hey, you really are here to return my resources? That’s more like it!” Ruan Dongling happily opened the pouch and peeked inside, her face lighting up with delight.

The pouch was overflowing with High-Grade Spirit Stones!
