Transmigrating as a Crazy Villainess, She Becomes Invincible by Slacking Off - Chapter 49

If she could, she would definitely claim this Lotus for herself!

As time passed, the Lotus petals finally bloomed fully.

In an instant, divine multicolored light erupted from the Lotus, filling the air with an otherworldly fragrance. Everyone knew the Lotus had reached maturity!

Sure enough, from the once-calm pond water, a whip-like crimson shadow shot out, coiled around the Lotus, and began to drag it into the depths.

At that moment, the surrounding cultivators sprang into action.

A sword shadow shimmering with icy light slashed directly at the whip-like shadow.

With a clang like the clash of gold and jade, the crimson whip remained unbroken, though bl00d began to seep from its surface.

This wasn’t a whip at all—it was a living creature!

Just as this realization flashed through Ruan Dongling’s mind, the pond water began to bubble violently, like boiling water.

With a splash, a massive, millstone-sized Toad covered in countless bloody pustules leaped from the water.

The slender red whip was actually the Toad’s tongue!

As the toad emerged from the water, its massive, bulging eyes immediately locked onto the cultivators hovering in the air.

One cultivator retracted his Flying Sword, stabilized his position, and charged at the toad with his blade.

Seeing this, the other cultivators, fearing he would claim the Lotus, swiftly joined the fray.

To their surprise, the toad’s cultivation was far higher than expected—a Third-Tier demon beast, equivalent to a human Golden Core cultivator!

Three Late-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators were already locked in combat with the toad, while the rest preferred to remain hidden, waiting to seize the advantage like opportunistic fishermen.

However, the Lotus remained tightly coiled in the toad’s tongue. Despite its repeated attempts to retract its tongue, a cultivator’s powerful secret technique had firmly gripped it, rendering it immobile.

Having cultivated to such a high realm, the toad possessed intelligence comparable to humans. Faced with the overwhelming assault from multiple cultivators, its swollen eyes darted around before it suddenly released its tongue.

The Lotus immediately fell into the hands of the cultivator who had been restraining the toad’s tongue.

Overjoyed, the cultivator seized the Lotus and prepared to flee, but his hopes were quickly dashed.

The battle raged fiercely above the pond. The Lotus was snatched by one cultivator, then another, yet none could secure it for long.

The moment the toad released the lotus, it was immediately freed from the siege, yet it didn’t retreat.

Its swollen, golden eyes burned with hatred.

Its tongue lashed out, instantly killing two cultivators. Their bodies exploded mid-air, dissolving into a bloody mist!

The toad indiscriminately attacked the cultivators floating above, seeing them all as deserving of death.

The cultivators vying for the lotus appeared remarkably young. After all, older cultivators understood the principle of “the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it,” and remained hidden, biding their time.

Having read countless novels, Ruan Dongling knew that whoever could endure to the end would claim the lotus. Unhurried, she remained hidden, watching the spectacle unfold.

As the cultivators realized the toad demon beast’s terrifying power, they began retreating toward the dense forest bordering the pond. The battle gradually shifted outward.

The toad, however, remained unhurried, pacing leisurely across the water’s surface. With each flick of its tongue, another cultivator perished.

Seeing this, several timid cultivators abandoned their pursuit of the lotus, withdrawing from the fray and melting back into the forest to seek other opportunities.

“True Sight Eye!”

Ruan Dongling activated the True Sight Eye on the Toad, revealing its details in a line of clear text:

Bl00d Venom Toad, Mid-Third-Tier Demon Beast. Skills: Bl00d Venom Arrow, Bl00d Venom Mist. Highly toxic with potent corrosive effects!

Note: Beware the bl00d-colored pustules on the Bl00d Venom Toad’s back!

Oh ho, what a formidable creature! After all this time, the Toad hadn’t even used its skills? Was it just toying with these Cultivators?

But now that the Cultivators were about to retreat, the Bl00d Venom Toad would finally unleash its true power.

Sure enough, sensing the Cultivators’ impending departure, the bl00d-colored pustules on the Toad’s back swelled ominously!

In the next instant, bl00d-red venomous arrows, like sentient Flying Swords, shot directly toward the Cultivators in the air!

The Bl00d Venom Arrows covered a vast area, raining down like a deadly storm. No Cultivator within the affected zone could escape.

The Cultivators still battling in the air screamed in agony as they plummeted from the sky.

The flesh struck by the Bl00d Venom Arrows began to rapidly decompose, oozing a pitch-black, foul-smelling pus!

Hiss~

Just watching it made one’s skin crawl with pain.

Only a few Cultivators with body-protecting magical artifacts managed to survive unscathed.

Witnessing the gruesome fate of the wounded cultivator, the surviving cultivators turned pale and fled without looking back.

The cultivator who had seized the lotus was also injured. Realizing he couldn’t hold onto it any longer, he desperately opened his mouth to swallow the lotus whole, hoping it might help him survive his wounds.

But with a swift flick of its bl00d-red tongue, the Toad snatched the lotus back from the cultivator’s very lips!

With the lotus secured, the Toad tried to retreat into the water, but more cultivators emerged, vying for the lotus.

The hidden Yin Bi lurking nearby had finally made their move.

Ruan Dongling remained motionless, determined to be the ultimate, most cunning Yin Bi.

Yet, time and again, the Toad failed to submerge with the lotus.

After repeated battles, the Toad’s stored Bl00d Toxin was completely depleted.

The once-swollen, bl00d-red pustules on its skin had shrunk to mere crimson spots, a clear sign that not a single drop of the toxin remained.

Though now unable to use its special abilities, the Toad could still rely on its basic attacks. As a mid-Third-Tier demon beast, it was more than capable of handling these cultivators below the Golden Core realm.

Wave after wave of cultivators fell, either dying or being wounded, yet in the end, the Toad retained possession of the lotus.

Ruan Dongling felt the moment was right to strike, but hesitated for a split second.

Her main concern was: what if there were still Yin Bi lurking nearby?

This time, she was dumbfounded.

The Toad, carrying the Lotus, successfully submerged into the water.

No more cultivators emerged from the surroundings.

Fvck!

I’m screwed! I played it too safe!

It was too late now. Ruan Dongling watched helplessly as the Toad entered the water.

As the Toad sank, its bulging eyes suddenly locked onto the direction where Ruan Dongling was hiding.

Through the hazy obstructions, Ruan Dongling and the grotesquely ugly Toad stared directly at each other!

It… it… it actually knew I was hiding here!

Watching the Toad disappear into the water, taking the Lotus with it, Ruan Dongling felt like crying but couldn’t shed a tear.

Damn it! All this effort for nothing!

Ruan Dongling collapsed onto the ground, seething with self-reproach.

What made it worse was the Toad’s final gaze, filled with mockery!

Unbearable! Absolutely unbearable!

But the Toad was underwater, and she dared not follow…

Waaah! I’m useless! I’m scared! I’m just a piece of trash…

In the end, Ruan Dongling simply gave up and lay sprawled on the grass.

I have Azure Immortal Wood! I have Dragon Eggs and Phoenix Eggs! I have Divine Iron and can forge divine weapons!

What’s so great about a broken lotus flower?

If I tried to snatch it, I’d probably end up like those cultivators—either dead or injured.

That’s a mid-Golden Core demon beast, for crying out loud! And I’m just a trashy little early-Foundation Establishment cultivator!

It’s perfectly normal that I couldn’t get the lotus flower. Staying alive is more important than anything!

After comforting herself for ages, Ruan Dongling finally felt at ease.

She was never meant to strive for greatness; she was born to slack off.

Ding! Host has successfully slacked off. Reward: Low-Grade Sage Grade Cultivation Manual “Void Clarity Water Control Art”—Initial Comprehension: 100%!

Holy sh1t!

Water Control Art!

With her Ice Spiritual Root, this was perfect!

In an instant, the manual’s incantations, spiritual energy circulation pathways, and mastery over water elements flooded her mind.

The pond water, which had once terrified her, now seemed endearing and approachable.

Ruan Dongling was itching to try it out, desperate to jump into the water and experience the Sage Grade Water Control Art firsthand. How miraculous could it be?

A Sage Grade Cultivation Manual!

Even more powerful than Heaven Grade!

This was the first Sage Grade technique she’d ever mastered!

Could it be that the System had wanted her to seize this lotus flower all along?

Oh ho! I’m the chosen one, the Heavenly Dao’s beloved daughter. This isn’t excessive at all…

But now the Lotus had already been dragged into the water by the Toad, and might have been devoured!

No, no, she had to hurry!

With this thought, Ruan Dongling rolled up her sleeves, tucked her skirt into her waistband, and prepared to enter the water.

Just then, the Little Butterfly Demon, who had been silent until now, spoke again.

“Everyone knows of the Nine Revolutions Heart-Piercing Lotus, but few know of the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart…”
