Transmigrating as a Crazy Villainess, She Becomes Invincible by Slacking Off - Chapter 57

Ruan Dongling reacted swiftly, retracting her lounge chair in an instant.

Ran Bing: ……

At that moment, Ruan Dongling also heard the commotion outside.

“Those two bitches! Where did they run off to?!”

“Hmph, the dark-skinned woman is injured. They couldn’t have gone far! Let’s search thoroughly!”

The voices, low and muttered, came from nearby—two members of Murong Xuyao’s group.

Of the five from Floating Star Prefecture, Ran Bing had injured two, leaving these two unscathed. It seemed the group had split up to search for them.

“Only two?”

Ruan Dongling’s divine sense had already swept the area, confirming only these two were present. Murong Xuyao and the remaining two were nowhere to be found.

Yun Yan’er’s whereabouts were also unknown.

“Something’s wrong. The other three must be hiding… That Murong isn’t stupid enough to let these two trash walk into a death trap.”

“That scheming bastard thinks he can trick us… Dream on!”

Ruan Dongling quietly produced two Aura Concealing Pills, handing one to Ran Bing.

“You’re injured. Let’s stay hidden here and not move. Once you’ve recovered, we’ll get our revenge!”

Ruan Dongling spoke to herself, communicating with Ran Bing through telepathy to avoid alerting the two pursuers.

“So this is how you managed to hide so perfectly?” Ran Bing asked, finally realizing the extraordinary efficacy of the Aura Concealing Pill after taking one herself.

“Mm-hmm. One pill lasts for twelve hours.”

“Here, I have so many left. Take them all!” Ruan Dongling shoved the remaining pills—more than half the bottle—into Ran Bing’s hands.

Ran Bing accepted them without hesitation, storing them away.

Ding! Host has successfully contributed Aura Concealing Pills. Reward: ten bottles of Aura Concealing Pills!

The two women remained hidden in the perfectly camouflaged cave, completely undetected by the pair outside, who gradually moved further away.

Once the cave entrance was silent again, Ruan Dongling retrieved a lounge chair, a straw mat, and a thin blanket from her Storage Pouch.

Ran Bing stared at the items Ruan Dongling produced, utterly bewildered.

Why would she bring these things on an expedition?

Doesn’t she understand the value of time?

The Secret Realm is brimming with spiritual energy—the perfect opportunity for meditation and cultivation. Is she really planning to sleep like a Mortal instead of cultivating?

Ran Bing’s eyes widened in shock.

“Hurry up and sleep! What are you staring at?”

The cave plunged into darkness as the firelight faded. Ruan Dongling produced a fist-sized luminous pearl to illuminate the space, noticing Ran Bing’s wide-eyed gaze with confusion.

Suppressing her shock, Ran Bing reassured herself that Ruan Dongling must possess extraordinary talent, allowing her cultivation to advance even while sleeping.

She silently retrieved her Azure Immortal Wood Meditation Cushion and sat cross-legged on it.

“I’ll meditate. It’ll help my injuries heal faster.”

“Oh, oh, oh…” Ruan Dongling suddenly remembered: this was the Cultivation World, where cultivators were workaholics who never slept.

Except for her, of course.

“Then… I’ll just go to sleep…”

Seeing that Ran Bing had already entered a meditative state, Ruan Dongling decided not to disturb her.

She comfortably settled into the lounge chair, pulled a thin blanket over herself, and drifted off to sleep almost immediately.

Hearing Ruan Dongling’s even breathing, Ran Bing opened her eyes and glanced at the sleeping girl. A faint, unconscious smile tugged at the corner of her lips.

She has a friend now.

Their hiding spot was well-concealed, and the Medicinal Pills masked their auras. Throughout the night, several groups of people passed by the cave entrance without detecting their presence.

Ruan Dongling woke up naturally.

Ding~! Host has successfully slacked off! Reward: 160 days of cultivation!

Holy sh1t!

Before her mind had even fully cleared, Ruan Dongling felt a surge of spiritual energy erupt from her Dantian. The massive influx of energy coursed rapidly through her meridians, expanding them further.

She was about to advance!

Ruan Dongling quickly sat cross-legged, focused her mind, and gathered her spiritual energy. The gold-rimmed purple Dao Foundation embedded in her Dantian began to glow with an ethereal purple light once more…

Ran Bing, still meditating, was immediately struck by the overwhelming aura emanating from Ruan Dongling. She realized Ruan Dongling was about to break through.

When she saw a fleeting flash of purple light in Ruan Dongling’s abdomen, Ran Bing’s expression shifted slightly, her heart pounding in her chest.

Heaven-Grade Foundation Establishment?

It’s actually Heaven-Grade Foundation Establishment!

Steadying her mind, Ran Bing quickly took up a guard position at the cave entrance and began protecting Ruan Dongling.

Fortunately, it was only a minor breakthrough. Although the spiritual energy surged violently, Ran Bing’s full-force suppression kept most of it contained.

Minor breakthroughs were also swift, otherwise Ran Bing wouldn’t have been able to ensure Ruan Dongling’s safety.

Moments later, the spiritual energy dissipated, and Ruan Dongling’s breakthrough was complete.

Her entire being now radiated a sharp, intimidating aura. Ran Bing’s pupils constricted slightly; she had only witnessed such piercing intensity in the presence of top-tier Sword Cultivators.

Could Ruan Dongling also be a Sword Dao prodigy?

Only when Ruan Dongling opened her eyes did Ran Bing exhale a breath of relief, momentarily relaxing her guard.

It was then that Ran Bing realized her intuition from the previous night had been correct.

Ruan Dongling truly was a peerless genius who could advance even in her sleep!

Before they could exchange a word, a thunderous crash erupted behind Ran Bing. The cave entrance, disguised as a mountain wall, had been blasted open.

The stones Ruan Dongling had stacked together shot toward Ran Bing’s back like projectiles!

“Watch out!” Ruan Dongling shouted a warning.

Ran Bing had already twisted to evade, dodging the barrage of stones.

“Who’s hiding in there? Get out here now!”

Before the last of the rubble had settled, a boisterous shout echoed from outside the cave.

The two women exchanged a glance and dashed out of the cave.

Three figures stood outside, their attire slightly different from the cultivators of True Martial Prefecture, suggesting they were from another region.

The leader was a slightly plump cultivator adorned with ostentatious decorations. A massive gold lock, likely weighing several kilograms, hung around his neck, inlaid with a large piece of white jade.

Modern Xianxia dramas have really misled people! Who said cultivators all wear flowing white robes and exude noble elegance?

Just look at this guy!

Ruan Dongling was nearly blinded by the cultivator’s gaudy accessories the moment she stepped out of the cave. For a moment, she was stunned, half-convinced she was looking at some landlord’s dimwitted son.

Regardless of his actual strength, this cultivator’s family was clearly wealthy, and he likely had powerful connections.

His taste, however, left much to be desired.

Seeing that the trio’s cultivation levels were only in the late Foundation Establishment stage, Ruan Dongling wasted no time. She drew her sword and charged forward!

The joy of her recent breakthrough had been completely ruined by these bastards.

Perfect timing! Having just advanced to a minor realm, she could test her new strength on these fools!

Ran Bing, having rested for over eight hours, had recovered significantly. She joined the fray, meeting the enemy head-on.

In this two-against-three battle, the women held their own, showing no signs of being outmatched.
