Transmigrating as a Crazy Villainess, She Becomes Invincible by Slacking Off - Chapter 3

“Sixth Junior Brother, Xiao Qi is still your Junior Sister. Show some respect!”

The speaker was Zhong Zimuo, the third-ranked disciple, a notorious hypocrite with a smiling tiger’s demeanor.

Lu Xingyuan, seizing the opportunity to save face, harrumphed coldly, his face flushed crimson, and sheathed his sword, retreating to the side. He had lost all interest in harassing Ruan Dongling.

Heh, now he decides to speak up?

Ever since Ruan Dongling entered, Lu Xingyuan had been provoking her relentlessly. Why hadn’t Zhong Zimuo intervened then?

It was all just to vent his anger on Yun Yan’er’s behalf.

As if Ruan Dongling was the one who had wronged Yun Yan’er.

But wasn’t she the real victim here?

Just because Yun Yan’er was the female lead, did that mean Ruan Dongling deserved to be the scapegoat?

“Xiao Qi, Master ordered you to meditate in seclusion in your cave. How dare you defy his command?”

Ruan Dongling calmly sipped her tea, not even glancing at Zhong Zimuo.

“Xiao Qi, I know you’re disheartened by the loss of your Spirit Root, but Fifth Junior Sister risked everything to save you…”

“Even with your Spirit Root now, what can she do?”

“Her injuries are severe, and her vital energy is depleted. It will take considerable time for her to fully integrate your Spirit Root.”

Ruan Dongling smirked coldly, knowing the real purpose of this conversation was about to surface.

Sure enough, Zhong Zimuo paused, then continued in a grave tone:

“Senior Brother knows you possess a Bl00d Ring Pill, which can rapidly replenish vital energy and bl00d while repairing internal injuries.”

“This pill is perfectly suited for Junior Sister Yan’er’s current condition. I’m sure you, Xiao Qi, are deeply concerned about her injuries and wouldn’t hesitate to part with such a worldly possession.”

Heh, what audacity!

The Bl00d Ring Pill was a Third-Grade Pill—a treasure even Golden Core Stage cultivators coveted!

Naturally, this pill had been prepared for Ruan Dongling by her parents.

For Zhong Zimuo, a mere early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, it would likely take a year of relentless effort to afford even a single one.

Yet here he was, opening his mouth to casually claim her precious item as a gift for Yun Yan’er.

As if something that isn’t his own costs nothing to part with!

This was exactly how the original plot unfolded.

Ruan Dongling had come to visit Yun Yan’er, only to be harassed and insulted by these senior and junior brothers.

To appease Qi Sichen’s wrath, Ruan Dongling had actually given away this invaluable treasure!

But to Yun Yan’er, all of this was her due.

The entire world should revolve around her, and every good thing in it should belong to her.

Among these senior and junior brothers, Zhong Zimuo’s expression was the most gentle.

If Ruan Dongling hadn’t been replaced by a different soul, she would likely have trusted and grown close to this smiling tiger, just as she had before.

The original owner of this body had been foolishly naive, easily disarmed by a superficial show of kindness.

Ruan Dongling retrieved a small, translucent white jade bottle from her storage pouch and casually twirled it in her hand.

“Giving this pill to Yun Yan’er isn’t out of the question, but…”

“I’ll have to personally administer it—even feed it to her myself to show my sincerity!”

“Otherwise, Yun Yan’er might forget my kindness, the ungrateful wretch.”

Ruan Dongling’s grip loosened, and the jade bottle clattered to the ground with a crisp sound.

The bottle shattered, and the bl00d-red pill, still emitting a faint, ethereal fragrance, rolled to a stop at Ruan Dongling’s feet.

“Ah, it seems Xiao Qi is indeed quite weak. After all, having one’s Spirit Root forcibly removed would be unbearable for anyone.”

As she spoke, Ruan Dongling covered her mouth and coughed twice.

The others’ faces stiffened, belatedly remembering that their Junior Sister was still injured.

“Xiao Qi… you’ve lost your Spirit Root and can no longer cultivate… This pill…”

Zhong Zimuo’s expression was conflicted, as if he couldn’t bear to take Ruan Dongling’s possession, though inwardly he scoffed.

How could this fool Ruan Dongling ever compare to Yan’er? Even ten of her lives wouldn’t equal the value of Yan’er’s little finger.

All I need to do is show this idiot a kind face, and she’ll obediently hand over the pill!

Ruan Dongling bent down, accidentally stepping on the pill again.

The others’ eyes twitched in unison.

Ruan Dongling calmly picked up the Bl00d Ring Pill, blew off the dust, and held it in her palm.

“I’ll feed it to Yun Yan’er later. Are you all satisfied now?”

“Ruan Dongling! You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?!” Lu Xingyuan snapped first, taking an angry step forward, his sword instinctively pointing at her.

“So what if I am?” Ruan Dongling retorted. “This was mine to begin with!”

“Dropping it doesn’t diminish its potency. It’s still a Bl00d Ring Pill worth thousands of high-grade spirit stones!”

“I’ll feed it to Yun Yan’er when I’m in the mood. If not, I’ll toss it outside for the dogs!”

Ruan Dongling rubbed the pill between her palms.

“Ruan Dongling! I never realized you were such a vulgar and vile woman! Your mind is truly depraved!” Qi Sichen finally snapped, his voice icy.

Ignoring Qi Sichen, Ruan Dongling turned to Zhong Zimuo.

“Zhong Zimuo, you’re just like Second Senior Brother. I advise you to give up too.”

These simps never end well.

Simps, simps, simps—in the end, they get nothing.

Ruan Dongling sipped her tea, crossed her legs, and struck a pose reminiscent of an old man watching opera at the Pear Garden.

She pointed a finger at Zhong Zimuo and declared,

“Look at yourself. Are you as handsome as Qi Sichen? As influential as Lu Xingyuan? As skilled as Zhao Zeyan?”

“Among the five of you, you’re the most useless, utterly mediocre!”

“At least Second Senior Brother is a Pill Cultivator. He can concoct some mediocre pills to coax Yun Yan’er…”

“But what can you do? Yun Yan’er despises you most of all!”

“You…” Zhong Zimuo’s fake smile crumbled, his face twisting into a ferocious grimace.

Zhou Huaiwen, standing beside him, was equally enraged by Ruan Dongling’s words. His eyes burned like those of a starving wolf, yearning to tear her apart.

Ruan Dongling remained unfazed, turning her gaze to Zhao Zeyan.

Zhao Zeyan, ranked fourth among the brothers, possessed the most cold and withdrawn personality. Born with a natural sword bone and exceptional talent in the sword path, he was a Sword Cultivator at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

Zhao Zeyan glared at Ruan Dongling, his expression dark and menacing.

Among the five senior brothers, Zhao Zeyan was the last to turn to the dark side because of Yun Yan’er, becoming an antagonist.

Though villains often unite, Zhao Zeyan continued to despise Ruan Dongling even after his fall.

All because Yun Yan’er disliked her.

“Fourth Senior Brother, the Reflecting Moon Cold Pool’s waters, mirroring the Shadowing Azure Clouds…”

“Are the silver-scaled fish from the water still delicious?”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zeyan’s previously gloomy expression suddenly shifted to utter astonishment.

He took a step forward, his voice urgent. “How do you know about that? Who are you really?”

Zhao Zeyan was the mastermind among the book’s villains, possessing unparalleled intelligence that would later cause considerable trouble for Ruan Dongling.

But all of this stemmed from a misunderstanding.

Ruan Dongling had no desire to be on the radar of this intellectual powerhouse, disrupting her laid-back life.

A misunderstanding? Just clear it up!

Setting down her teacup, Ruan Dongling adopted a forlorn expression, a faint sorrow lingering in her eyes.

At that moment, Zhao Zeyan seemed to realize he had never truly understood his Junior Sister.

Sensing the atmosphere had ripened sufficiently, Ruan Dongling slowly raised her head.

She gazed at Zhao Zeyan, about to speak, when the door beside them swung open.

A maid supported the frail Yun Yan’er as she emerged.

A Qi Refining cultivator at the eighth stage now looked so weak that even Lin Daiyu would have to call her “Senior”!

Oh, the plot’s changing!

In the original story, Yun Yan’er hadn’t appeared until after Ruan Dongling was expelled from the sect.

Looks like Yun Yan’er is getting desperate!

How could she not panic when Ruan Dongling was blowing up her fishpond?
