Transmigrating as a Crazy Villainess, She Becomes Invincible by Slacking Off - Chapter 7

The crimson short sword now lay nestled in her Storage Pouch.

She had been captivated by Ruan Dongling’s sword at first sight. Beyond its exquisite and ornate design, its Low-Rank Heaven Grade status filled her with envy.

She subtly hinted to Qi Sichen about her admiration for the blade. True to her expectations, he had forcefully obtained it from Ruan Dongling for her.

She cherished the sword, immediately beginning the refinement process that very night.

However, the Magic Artifact’s high grade and its status as Ruan Dongling’s Lifebound Magical Treasure proved insurmountable. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t refine the sword into her own.

Her cultivation deviation and subsequent madness were partly due to this frustration, though she never revealed this to anyone.

Deep within her heart lay a secret ambition: if she could obtain Ruan Dongling’s Spirit Root, she was convinced she could finally refine the sword.

But now, she would never have the chance to claim this cherished blade as her own.

Ruan Dongling, holding the script, naturally knew the sword’s current location.

Her reason for wanting it back was simple: she had already communicated with the System.

System, if I give this sword to the female lead, can you reward me with ten in return?

Ruan Dongling inquired.

Ding! Items with spiritual energy, such as Lifebound Magical Treasures and Spirit Pets, are excluded from the return reward system.

In other words, anything with sentience cannot be returned.

This is because the System cannot replicate it!

Therefore, she absolutely had to reclaim this Lifebound Magical Treasure!

At that moment, Yun Yan’er fainted again.

A smirk tugged at Ruan Dongling’s lips.

Qi Sichen seized the opportunity and quickly carried Yun Yan’er into the house.

Moments later, Qi Sichen emerged and placed the short sword alongside the other items.

When Ruan Dongling saw the crimson blade, an uncontrollable surge of joy and delight welled up within her.

It felt like reuniting with a long-lost friend.

Her “Crimson Cloud” sword had finally returned!

This sword was crafted from a unique material that allowed it to advance in rank through refinement by an Artifact Cultivator.

And its potential for advancement was limitless!

In other words, with the aid of a high-level Artifact Cultivator and the addition of supplementary materials, her Low-Rank Heaven Grade Magic Artifact could be upgraded to Sage Grade or even Dao Grade!

In the original novel, after obtaining Ruan Dongling’s Spirit Root, Yun Yan’er had finally refined this sword into her own Lifebound Magical Treasure.

Right up until her ascension, Yun Yan’er’s primary weapon remained this very “Crimson Cloud”!

Heh, such a treasure is naturally something I’ll go to any lengths to reclaim!

Ruan Dongling sheathed her short sword and gathered the scattered items into her arms.

Clutching the pile of belongings, she moved to enter the room where Yun Yan’er lay.

Unexpectedly, several people blocked her path.

“Ruan Dongling! What more do you want?”

“You’ve already harmed Yan’er this much! What else could you possibly want?”

Ruan Dongling gestured for them to calm down. “I only want to give these gifts to Fifth Senior Sister!”

“After all, she was injured trying to save me!”

“How could I be so heartless and ungrateful?”

“If you don’t trust me, come inside and watch!”

“I’m giving all of this to Fifth Senior Sister!”

“I won’t rest until I see her store everything in her Storage Pouch!”

Ruan Dongling stood tall and dignified, embodying the image of a virtuous and grateful young man.

Entering the room, Ruan Dongling immediately noticed Yun Yan’er was feigning sleep.

She walked to the bedside and dumped the entire pile of items onto the bed.

Gritting her teeth, Ruan Dongling pinched her thigh hard and forced herself to recall every painful memory. Finally, two tears welled in the corners of her eyes and trickled down her cheeks.

“Senior Sister! It’s all my fault! I’ve come to apologize!”

“These gifts are from my heart. You must accept them!”

“Senior Sister! Senior Sister! Wake up!”

Ruan Dongling sobbed as she threw herself onto Yun Yan’er, her hand accidentally pressing against Yun Yan’er’s abdomen.

When she felt Yun Yan’er flinch, Ruan Dongling nearly burst with joy.

Zhou Huaiwen, furious, yanked Ruan Dongling aside. “Ruan Dongling! How could you be so malicious? Deliberately touching Yan’er’s wound? What are you plotting?”

“Hmph! Xiao Qi has always been a master of disguise. I was a fool to think she was genuinely innocent. I clearly misjudged her!”

Zhong Zimuo sneered, his gaze toward Ruan Dongling venomous.

“I didn’t do it on purpose!” Ruan Dongling retorted, wiping tears from her eyes and casting a pitiful glance at Yun Yan’er. “Senior Sister, please accept these gifts! I won’t disturb your rest any longer. I’ll leave now.”

With a show of reluctance, Ruan Dongling took her leave, glancing back repeatedly as she retreated.

Yun Yan’er lay in bed, her mind in turmoil. She couldn’t decipher Ruan Dongling’s motives. If Ruan Dongling intended to harm her, why would she bring gifts Qi Sichen had just presented?

She hadn’t even stored them in her spatial storage; she simply carried them in her arms.

If Ruan Dongling claimed this was genuine gratitude, Yun Yan’er found it even harder to believe.

The two of them knew the truth of the matter better than anyone.

Yun Yan’er had originally planned to exploit everyone’s favor and Ruan Dongling’s perceived foolishness to twist the truth.

Ruan Dongling should have hated her to the core. How could she possibly be showing gratitude?

After Zhou Huaiwen administered a medicinal pill, Yun Yan’er finally fluttered her eyes open.

Qi Sichen stood by her side, his gaze filled with tender affection.

Yun Yan’er blushed and averted her eyes.

Staring at the items spread across the bed, she felt utterly bewildered.

“Yan’er, just take them all!”

“You don’t need to feel uneasy. You deserve every bit of this!”

“Xiao Qi should have done this long ago. She owes you this!”

Under the group’s persistent encouragement, Yun Yan’er finally “reluctantly” stored everything in her Storage Pouch.

Ruan Dongling, slumped in her chair, was inwardly bursting with joy!

Ding! Host’s contribution of Qi-Replenishing Pills successful! Reward: Ten bottles of Qi-Replenishing Pills!

Ding! Host’s contribution of Body-Protecting Pills successful! Reward: Nine bottles of Body-Protecting Pills!

Ding! Host has successfully contributed Giant Python Vine! Reward: Ten Giant Python Vines!

Ding! Host has successfully contributed Lotus Heart Grass! Reward: Ten Lotus Heart Grass!

Ding! Host has successfully contributed Ksitigarbha Flower! Reward: Ten Ksitigarbha Flowers!

Ding! Host has successfully contributed Foundation Establishment Pill! Reward: Five Foundation Establishment Pills!

Pfft! Ruan Dongling, caught off guard, spat out her tea, nearly choking.

Foundation Establishment Pills?!

What a treasure!

I’ve already reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining and am about to attempt Foundation Establishment!

With these pills, achieving Foundation Establishment will be a breeze!

Even though I want to slack off, that’s only on the condition that slacking off helps me grow stronger!

Who could refuse such an easy path to power?

After all, I’m living in the Cultivation World, where strength reigns supreme!

If I don’t find ways to enhance my power, I’m not slacking off—I’m courting death!

Ruan Dongling glanced at her Storage Pouch, her joy bubbling over into an urge to dance.

Her crossed legs involuntarily began to jiggle.

Satisfied that she had received her rewards, Ruan Dongling prepared to leave.

She stood up and turned to go, but Zhao Zeyan blocked her path.

“Who are you, really?”
