Transmigrating as a Crazy Villainess, She Becomes Invincible by Slacking Off - Chapter 55

Ruan Dongling retrieved her ancestral lounge chair and helped Ran Bing lie down. She immediately produced a variety of medicinal pills.

She fed Ran Bing every pill that could stop bleeding, replenish Qi, restore spiritual energy, and heal injuries.

Noticing Ran Bing’s pale, bluish complexion, she also administered a Spirit Heart Pill to counteract any potential toxins.

Ran Bing had already lost consciousness and couldn’t swallow the pills, which remained lodged in her mouth. Fortunately, all the pills dissolved instantly upon contact with saliva.

Ding! Host has successfully contributed a Qi Restoration Pill. Reward: ten Qi Restoration Pills!

Ding! Host has successfully contributed a Qi Gathering Pill. Reward: ten Qi Gathering Pills!

Ding! Host has successfully contributed a Spirit Heart Pill. Reward: ten Spirit Heart Pills!

Hearing the notifications of rewards, Ruan Dongling felt little excitement. She had long outgrown interest in such trivial items.

Her gaze fixed on the wound on Ran Bing’s left shoulder, Ruan Dongling began to remove Ran Bing’s clothing.

Ran Bing had two wounds on her shoulder: one inflicted from behind by Yun Yan’er’s dagger, and another on the shoulder itself—four deep, opposing puncture wounds.

Dark, crimson-tinged bl00d still oozed from these four holes, clearly the bite marks of a demon beast.

Medicinal Pills weren’t just for internal consumption; some were for external use. Ruan Dongling retrieved wound-healing ointment and detoxifying powder, first cleansing the wounds before applying both remedies.

She then tore a strip of white cloth from the hem of her nightgown and bandaged Ran Bing’s shoulder.

Only after completing these tasks did Ruan Dongling finally exhale in relief.

It was then that she noticed Ran Bing’s skin was remarkably pale—smooth and fair.

Shamelessly, Ruan Dongling reached out and stroked it.

It wasn’t her fault; who wouldn’t admire a beauty like Ran Bing?

It seemed Ran Bing’s face and neck had indeed been coated with some secret medicine, making her skin appear so dark.

Ruan Dongling studied Ran Bing’s features and realized they were truly exquisite.

The cave wasn’t very well hidden and could be discovered at any moment.

After all this commotion, Ruan Dongling finally noticed a sharp pain in her abdomen.

Remembering how she had endured the cultivator’s kick while fleeing, her fists clenched.

Just you wait, you bastards!

If I don’t slaughter every last one of you, I’ll be a disgrace to the heroes of True Martial Prefecture!

Approaching the cave entrance, Ruan Dongling glanced around, examining the rock walls on either side.

The opening was too exposed and easily detectable. She needed to find a way to conceal it.

Ruan Dongling racked her brain, recalling the books she had read.

One book described minor spells that were as useless as the tricks used by con artists in the martial world, offering no real improvement to cultivation or combat prowess.

As a result, few people bothered to practice these techniques.

Ruan Dongling, being the lazy person she was, naturally hadn’t bothered to learn them. However, the spells were already imprinted in her mind.

One of them was an illusion spell that could conceal the cave entrance, but it required first sealing the opening with stones.

So Ruan Dongling quietly began moving stones, preparing to build a wall across the entrance.

Enduring the discomfort in her abdomen, she grimaced and strained as she hauled the stones.

Just as she was about to finish sealing the entrance, a raspy voice suddenly called out from behind, “What are you doing?”

Ruan Dongling gasped, nearly dropping the stone she was lifting onto her foot.

It was Ran Bing, who had finally regained consciousness.

Ruan Dongling turned to see Ran Bing standing up, clutching her wound.

She rushed over to help Ran Bing sit down. “Rest first. I’ll finish sealing the entrance and cast an illusion spell. Then we can both rest properly here!”

As she turned to resume building, Ran Bing grabbed her arm.

“You’re injured too. Rest for a while.”

Ran Bing, her face pale, walked to the cave entrance and formed a hand seal with her right hand. The half-built wall vanished, transforming the opening into a seamless section of the cave wall.

Ruan Dongling, curious, approached and tapped the wall. To her surprise, it felt exactly like the real rock.

“Amazing! How did you do that?”

“A mere parlor trick… cough cough…” Ran Bing coughed twice, the movement tugging at her wound, but she only winced slightly.

“Stop fussing and rest. Your injuries are still quite severe,” Ruan Dongling urged, her concern growing at Ran Bing’s coughing.

Yun Yan’er’s sword had pierced straight through Ran Bing’s shoulder. Though the demon beast’s bite wound was small, it was venomous.

Ran Bing’s face remained pale, but the faint bluish tinge had faded, suggesting the poison was no longer a major threat.

“Thank you,” Ran Bing said, choosing to sit cross-legged on the ground rather than use the lounge chair.

To keep Ran Bing warm, Ruan Dongling had lit a small fire in the cave. Ran Bing sat near the flames, leaning against the cave wall with her eyes closed.

Since entering the Secret Realm, much had transpired, yet only a single day had passed.

It was now late at night.

After all the commotion, Ruan Dongling was genuinely exhausted.

She planned to lie low in the cave for a couple of days, waiting for the Earth Treasure Azure Profound Grass to mature before venturing out again.

Who knows? Maybe I’ll wake up in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment after two days of sleep.

Ruan Dongling scanned the cave’s surroundings with her divine sense one last time, finding no further anomalies. Only then did she truly relax.

It seems those people haven’t caught up.

In truth, it wasn’t that Murong Xuyao didn’t want to pursue her; Ruan Dongling had simply fled too quickly.

The moment Murong Xuyao lost track of Ruan Dongling, he realized her movement techniques were extraordinary.

Inside the cave, Ruan Dongling and Ran Bing sat facing each other.

“Ran Bing, after all this, you’re still going to look for Yun Yan’er?” Ruan Dongling asked.

Seeing Ran Bing, still unwell, sitting upright instead of reclining on the lounge chair, Ruan Dongling naturally couldn’t lie down either.

Thus, she was left with no choice but to sit opposite him.

Through the flickering firelight, Ran Bing opened her eyes again.

“She saved my life, and I promised to repay her tenfold. Now, I’ve repaid my debt to her in full…”

“Now, neither of us owes the other anything.”

Ran Bing finished speaking and looked up at Ruan Dongling.

“What about you?”

Ruan Dongling nodded in satisfaction at Ran Bing’s answer. That’s more like it!

But the follow-up question left her bewildered.

“Huh? Wh-what? What about me?”

“What are you after?” Ran Bing’s eyes were calm, devoid of warmth.

“No, don’t you trust me yet? I’ve never had any intention of harming you…” Ruan Dongling rushed to explain.

“I asked what you’re after,” Ran Bing interrupted, repeating her question.

“What do you want me to do? Why did you approach me, show me kindness? What are you really after?!”
