Transmigrating as a Crazy Villainess, She Becomes Invincible by Slacking Off - Chapter 36

Ruan Dongling still couldn’t see the woman’s face, but she heard her voice.

It was a sultry yet invigorating yujie voice, but at that moment, it was soft and gentle, so weak it tugged at her heartstrings.

“Sister… how can I save you? Sister…”

The moment the woman in red turned around, a sudden burst of flames engulfed Ruan Dongling’s vision, filling her entire field of view.

She could see nothing but a sea of crimson flames.

“Sister…” Ruan Dongling suddenly jolted awake from the dream.

She sat up and realized she was still riding on Too Flashy’s back.

Ding~! Host has successfully slacked off! Reward: Three days of cultivation!

Had she been asleep for three hours already?

The sun beat down on her, scorching hot.

The sun was already beginning to set, signaling evening.

“Too Flashy, find a city to rest in,” Ruan Dongling instructed, patting the dragon’s head.

Thinking of the woman in red from her dream, Ruan Dongling unconsciously tightened her grip on the Crimson Cloud Sword.

Too Flashy carried her to a secluded spot outside the city walls.

After entering the city, Ruan Dongling found an inn and settled in.

I hope no more unexpected events occur, and that no more annoying people disturb my sleep…

Ruan Dongling lay in bed, mentally grumbling before gradually drifting off to sleep.

Too Flashy transformed into a small bird and nestled beside Ruan Dongling’s pillow, also falling asleep.

Neither of them noticed the faint purple glow permeating the air.

This light emanated from the Little Butterfly Demon.

Once the pair were sound asleep, the Little Butterfly Demon, who had been perched in Ruan Dongling’s hair, fluttered its wings and flew to the table.

A hazy purple flash erupted, and the Little Butterfly Demon transformed into a man clad in purple robes.

He stood tall and straight as a pine tree, his black hair like dark clouds framing a pair of extraordinary purple eyes beneath sharply defined brows.

Though a faint smile played on his thin lips, his expression remained detached and devoid of desire, as if he were an ancient god who had descended into the mortal realm.

The man approached the bed and gazed at the sleeping Ruan Dongling. A flicker of warmth suddenly softened his indifferent eyes.

He slowly extended a slender, bony hand, palm upward.

Purple energy swirled within his palm like a vortex in water, spreading outward with an eerie magnetic pull.

Xiao Si, who had been curled up in Ruan Dongling’s arms, was drawn out by this energy.

The little creature trembled violently, its body coiled tightly, paralyzed with fear.

“I never imagined our reunion would unfold like this…”

Countless images seemed to flash through the man’s purple eyes. A wisp of purple energy from his hand actually slipped into Xiao Si’s mouth and entered its body.

In an instant, the scattered black spots on Xiao Si’s body vanished completely.

The moment the black spots disappeared, Xiao Si’s aura underwent a complete transformation. Its previously cowering eyes suddenly became clear and lucid.

A phantom-like figure materialized above Xiao Si’s coiled form in mid-air.

The phantom was a man with strikingly heroic features. His eyes, sharp as lightning, locked intently on the purple-robed man.

The purple-robed man tilted his head slightly and smiled faintly at the phantom.

The phantom flickered briefly before dissipating into the air.

Xiao Si closed its eyes.

Its white scales began to gradually shed.

The newly emerged skin resembled a sculpture carved from lustrous mutton-fat jade, possessing a faint, ethereal glow.

Before long, Xiao Si had completed its molting.

Two small bumps appeared on its head.

The man gently placed Xiao Si’s body beside Ruan Dongling’s pillow.

Casting a detached glance at Ruan Dongling, his figure gradually faded, eventually transforming back into the Little Butterfly.

Ding! Host has successfully slacked off! Gained ten days of cultivation!

Ruan Dongling slept soundly through the night, without a single dream.

Waking at dawn, she stretched languidly.

In an instant, Ruan Dongling spotted Little Butterfly perched on the table.

“Little Butterfly Demon!”

She extended a finger and gently coaxed the tiny creature onto her fingertip.

“Little Butterfly Demon, do you want nectar or dew?”

This time, Little Butterfly Demon fluttered its wings twice but remained silent.

Ruan Dongling gently stroked its wings, marveling at their texture—smooth as jade. She had always been too afraid to touch them, fearing she might damage their delicate structure.

But now, realizing their extraordinary texture, she wondered if such jade-like wings could ever break.

“Alright, I’ll go get you something to eat right away!”

Perching Little Butterfly Demon on her head, Ruan Dongling nudged Too Flashy awake.

Her gaze fell on Xiao Si, and she gasped in astonishment.

Xiao Si’s transformation was remarkable!

“He’s really turning into a dragon! Xiao Si, you’re amazing!”

“Hey, I’ve got a Divine Beast now too!”

Ruan Dongling held the limp Xiao Si like a dead snake, her excitement bubbling over.

“Xiao Si? Xiao Si? Why are you asleep again?”

The limp Xiao Si, like a rope, dangled from Ruan Dongling’s hand as she swung him back and forth.

When Xiao Si remained unresponsive, Ruan Dongling carefully tucked him into her robes before finally stepping outside.

The Demon Sealing Stone stirred again. Ruan Dongling followed the faint Demonic Qi through the bustling streets.

She stopped beneath a large willow tree.

Looking up at a sparrow perched on a branch, she held out the shimmering stone.

“Want to come home with me?” she asked, repeating her standard question.

The sparrow fluttered down to land on Ruan Dongling’s shoulder, tilted its head to study her, and nodded.

Ruan Dongling opened her palm, revealing the Demon Sealing Stone. The sparrow transformed into a beam of light and dove into the stone.

Is capturing demon beasts really this easy?

Ruan Dongling recalled the other disciples’ complaints.

Why does this mission feel so simple to me? Could it be because I’m a Foundation Establishment cultivator?

But there were Foundation Establishment cultivators among those disciples too…

Sigh, this is puzzling.

Ruan Dongling had already collected a sparrow, a swallow, a toad, and a small fish.

After wandering through the city, eating and drinking, the stone was full again.

Throughout her journey, the small demon beasts seemed to seek her out, appearing from all directions.

Now, with just one stone left, capturing ten small demon beasts would complete her mission!

Ruan Dongling cast her gaze once more beyond the city walls.

The city was now devoid of demon beasts; only faint traces of Demonic Qi lingered outside.

Surely I won’t encounter any more danger, right?

Ruan Dongling ventured out of the city again, following a path into the forest.

Spotting a rose bush nestled among the trees, she reluctantly crouched down.

This little flower demon is so foolish. What’s it doing growing here?

“Little Rose, growing here is practically begging people to notice you’re a demon, isn’t it?”

The rose bush, nestled at the base of a towering ancient tree, bore two deep crimson blooms, easily overlooked.

As Ruan Dongling finished speaking, one of the rose’s flowers trembled slightly, as if responding to her words.

“Want to come home with me? Yes or no?”

The moment Ruan Dongling produced her Demon Sealing Stone, the little flower demon burrowed inside, as if afraid she might leave it behind.

A full Demon Sealing Stone glowed a vibrant red, while an empty one shone a vivid green.

Stones filled with demon beasts emitted faint traces of Demonic Qi, but when all five stones were placed together, the combined Demonic Qi became disproportionately strong—far exceeding what one would expect from simple addition.

Something’s not right.

Ruan Dongling shook her head, about to examine the stones more closely, when she felt a sudden chill in her palm.

Without even blinking, the Demon Sealing Stone vanished!
