Transmigrating as a Crazy Villainess, She Becomes Invincible by Slacking Off - Chapter 59

These three were also followers of the landlord’s foolish son!

Judging by their tone when addressing the cultivator, it was clear he wasn’t aligned with the three below. In fact, they seemed to distrust each other!

This makes things much easier!

Unexpectedly, the cultivator below’s expression twisted upon hearing Ruan Dongling’s words. He immediately roared, “Zhao Ming! I knew you bastard was up to no good! So you killed the Young Fortress Lord and tried to frame someone else?”

“Exactly! Zhao Ming must have harbored resentment toward the Young Fortress Lord and seized the opportunity to kill him!”

“We’ll report this to the Fort Master and let him decide your fate!”

The three cultivators chimed in, their voices rising in unison.

Ruan Dongling was dumbfounded. …Was it really this easy? They just believed me?

“Don’t listen to this b1tch! She’s the one who killed the Young Fortress Lord!” The cultivator battling Ruan Dongling panicked, his face flushed crimson. Now, he had no choice but to cling to his original claim.

That dog wants to frame me?

A flicker of inspiration struck Ruan Dongling. She tightened her grip on something hidden in her hand.

“Stop snapping at people like a rabid dog! If you can pull off this ‘thief crying thief’ act, I’ll worship you as my ancestral master!”

Seeing the cultivator’s composure shatter under her taunts, Ruan Dongling seized the opening. With a swift strike, she thrust her sword toward Zhao Ming’s waist.

Zhao Ming hastily dodged the strike, never expecting Ruan Dongling’s sword to knock his Storage Pouch to the ground.

As the pouch fell, a massive, gleaming golden ring tumbled out alongside it, rolling to a stop at the feet of the three cultivators.

The leader of the group stared intently at the ring before roaring in fury, “Zhao Ming! Still denying it? This is clearly the Young Fortress Lord’s Storage Ring!”

“Attack together! Kill Zhao Ming to avenge the Young Fortress Lord! Bring his head back as proof!”

The three cultivators, now convinced of Zhao Ming’s guilt, immediately drew their swords and charged toward him.

Zhao Ming, enraged, cursed at them, “Blind fools! You’re just trying to make me the scapegoat, to take the blame for your failure to protect your master!”

At this point, Ruan Dongling understood the situation.

All of them had been tasked with protecting the landlord’s idiotic son. Now that the son was dead, they faced certain death if they couldn’t provide a convincing explanation.

Even if they suspected foul play, they would pretend ignorance. After all, it was better for a fellow cultivator to die than for them to suffer.

Their plan was clear: kill Zhao Ming and pin all the blame on him.

“I despise such treacherous, ungrateful wretches above all else!” Ruan Dongling declared. “I’ll lend you a hand!”

Ruan Dongling, her face radiating righteous indignation, addressed the three cultivators with a stern expression.

She then joined the fray against Zhao Ming.

Ruan Dongling signaled to Ran Bing, who was hidden in the shadows.

Ran Bing gripped her sword.

Ruan Dongling mingled with the combatants, feigning participation.

Seizing her chance, she stabbed Zhao Ming, wounding him. The three cultivators rejoiced, their attacks growing increasingly ruthless.

Zhao Ming’s cultivation was formidable; he could have handled the three cultivators alone. But Ruan Dongling’s presence tipped the scales.

Within moments, whether by design or accident, Zhao Ming was critically wounded.

However, two of the three cultivators had also been stabbed by Zhao Ming.

Seeing the situation was ripe, Ruan Dongling signaled Ran Bing to emerge and finish the job.

Ran Bing understood Ruan Dongling’s intentions perfectly.

Ruan Dongling had never intended to let these Hongcang Prefecture cultivators live.

Concealing her presence, Ran Bing first silently eliminated the two wounded cultivators.

Then, Zhao Ming and the remaining cultivator fell beneath Ruan Dongling’s sword.

Fearing they might not be dead, Ruan Dongling delivered a final strike to each corpse.

Still, Ruan Dongling remained puzzled. Why had these cultivators turned on each other? Shouldn’t they have united against her, the outsider?

She couldn’t make sense of it.

After finishing her work and collecting several Storage Pouches, Ruan Dongling once again dragged Ran Bing away.

“Alright, alright, we can’t go back there anymore.”

Ran Bing followed Ruan Dongling as they once again hid in the dense forest, perched high in the branches of a towering tree.

“The sun’s too strong. You should rest for a while,” Ruan Dongling said, stretching out on a tree branch, ready to nap again.

Ran Bing: ……

“Aren’t we going to look for opportunities?” Ran Bing asked tentatively.

Ruan Dongling took the Treasure-Seeking Worm from her head and placed it in her palm, showing it to Ran Bing.

“What’s this…?”

Seeing Ran Bing’s puzzled expression, Ruan Dongling rubbed the worm’s head with her finger. “It’s a Treasure-Seeking Worm!”

“Spirit Object Talismans are too precious. We need to save them for treasures like the Earth Treasure Azure Profound Grass, which has its own spiritual consciousness.”

“This worm can also help you find various treasures. It’s not as effective as a Spirit Object Talisman, but it’s good enough for finding ordinary treasures.”

“I really don’t want to move. You take it and go find opportunities yourself. I’m staying here.”

Sleeping for two hours grants twenty days of cultivation progress. Could there be a better opportunity than that?

For Ran Bing, every minute was precious; she refused to waste any.

Entering the Secret Realm had been a hard-won opportunity for Ran Bing, and she couldn’t afford to waste it like Ruan Dongling.

Realizing she was different from Ruan Dongling, Ran Bing accepted the Treasure-Seeking Worm offered by her.

After spending half the day wandering with Ruan Dongling, Ran Bing had done things she’d never done before.

Like eating roasted chicken, or secretly hiding in a big tree, doing nothing but cracking melon seeds.

For Ran Bing, this was a rare moment of leisure. Though joyful and relaxing, it wasn’t the life she was meant to live.

“Alright, be careful!” Ran Bing instructed Ruan Dongling before leaping down from the tree.

“Ling’er, don’t worry! I’ll definitely get the Earth Treasure Azure Profound Grass for you!”

With those words, Ran Bing departed.

If anyone else had said this, Ruan Dongling would have dismissed it as a joke, refusing to believe it.

Who wouldn’t want the Earth Treasure Azure Profound Grass?

But when Ran Bing said it, the words carried immense weight.

Ran Bing was a Child of the World, blessed with Great Fortune. Who knew, she might actually succeed in obtaining it!

Ruan Dongling also believed that if Ran Bing truly obtained the Earth Treasure Azure Profound Grass, she would undoubtedly give it to her.

Hidden within the dense canopy of a tree and having taken an Aura Concealing Pill, Ruan Dongling quickly fell asleep.

She didn’t know how long she slept, but she was jolted awake by a movement against her chest.

Xiao Si had awakened and was crawling out of her arms!

Ruan Dongling blinked her sleepy eyes, struggling to recognize the petite white snake—no, White Dragon—floating before her.

“Xiao Si!” Ruan Dongling exclaimed, instantly wide awake.

The Xiao Si before her was completely different from before. His eyes radiated an aura of supreme dominance, and his entire being exuded an aura of unrivaled authority.

His snow-white dragon scales shimmered with a luminous, pearly glow.

Auspicious clouds swirled around him.

“Xiao Si? This is amazing! You really, truly transformed into a dragon!”
