After the Villainess Awakens

Chapters List

Chapter 6: Can You Find Me a Partner?

"No, where can I find one for you? I myself..." Leng Mushi quickly refused, "The one I have a crush on is a... a heartless man."

Fenlian was unreasonable: "I don't care, anyway, you have to find me one. My puppet heard the conversation of those three immortal lords. You are going to Taichu Sect, you want to join the sect, you have to find me a good one in Taichu Sect!"

"But I don't have spiritual roots, I can't enter the inner sect, I can only be an outer disciple at most. You can find a mortal, there is no danger, you can play with princes and generals, how nice." Leng Mushi tried to persuade her.

But Fenlian firmly disagreed: "How can a mortal be worthy of a great demon? Besides, you said it, the immortal lords of the sect are all very brave, seven times a night!"

"You lied to me, I will kill you now!" Fenlian pinched Leng Mushi's neck.

Leng Mushi: ...

She was choked until her eyes rolled back, and her tongue was about to stick out. She patted Fenlian's arm frantically.

Fenlian let go of her and saw that she was coughing badly. After Leng Mushi finished coughing, she said, "If you agree, I will restore your face."

"I am a skin-painting demon, I can transform you into any appearance, as long as you are obedient."

Leng Mushi pressed her neck and took a deep breath, thinking that she was really wrong, a demon is a demon, no matter how innocent it looks, it is still very bad!

She wasn't really interested in the restoration of her appearance that Fenlian mentioned. Of course, she cared about her looks, but she still needed this face to go through important plot points. Besides, there would be opportunities to recover later in the story. She wasn't in a hurry to find a man, so she didn't care.

However, if she didn't agree to Fenlian, Fenlian might really kill her. Leng Mushi looked at herself and knew that she couldn't count on anyone to save her, so she had to save herself.

It would be better to bring her into Taichu Sect first, and then find an opportunity to expose her. At that time, in the sect, there are so many elders, there will always be a way to deal with her!

So Leng Mushi agreed: "Okay, I promise you, but you have to hide yourself well, if you are exposed, I will be implicated by you!"

"I have my own way!" As Fenlian said, she scratched her palm with her nails, dipped in the blood, and approached Leng Mushi.

Leng Mushi had been corroded by this blood before, and backed away in fear. Fenlian held her and said, "It doesn't hurt! I will heal you, the person who saved you has arrived, let's go out quickly!"

With very complicated emotions, Leng Mushi let Fenlian treat her. The wounds on her hands and face were quickly healed after being stained with Fenlian's blood, and they even became more delicate.

But when it came to the last bit on her face, Fenlian smiled and said, "I have to leave some, I can't cure you completely. When you find a brave immortal lord for me, I will cure you all!"

Leng Mushi was crying and laughing, she didn't care, but the next moment, Fenlian suddenly turned into a blood light, "shoo" drilled into the unhealed wound on Leng Mushi's face.

Leng Mushi cried out in pain, then fainted.

She really felt that she might not be able to hold on until the end of the plot and regain her freedom as the law said. Because the plot had just begun, and she had fainted several times.

When she regained consciousness again, she didn't open her eyes immediately. She felt that she was lying on something soft, and something light and soft was covering her body. It seemed that she was in a very safe environment.

She raised her hand to touch her face, and found that her face no longer hurt, but it was uneven, the wound seemed to be scarred, Fenlian really left a piece for her without treatment, and there was still medicine foam on it.

Her last memory was of the skin-painting demon Fenlian burrowing into the wound on her face.

Leng Mushi opened her eyes and found herself in a strange room. Judging by the style and furnishings, it seemed to be an inn.

She had a shadow over the inn, and she didn't get up until she was holding her arm, and then she heard someone speak.

"Sister, you're awake!"

"I hid well, didn't I?"

"Are you okay?"

Three voices appeared at the same time, making Leng Mushi's head buzz.

Her waist softened, and she fell backwards again, only to be supported by the person who ran over.

It was none other than her good sister Leng Tianyin who was supporting her, and one of the three voices came from her.

As for the other two, Leng Mushi distinguished them. One came from the law in her personal storage bag, and the other... she couldn't tell where it came from, but she observed Leng Tianyin's reaction, and it was clear that she couldn't hear this noisy voice.

"I'm hiding in your scar. The elders who traveled with us didn't notice. I think he's good. Ask him if he has a woman..."

It was Fenlian.

Leng Mushi slowly touched the scar on her left cheek with her hand.

Oh my god, this big demon is really clinging to her, hiding so well that even the elders didn't notice?

While she was stunned pressing her face, Leng Tianyin was bringing her water back. She sat by the bed holding the water cup, tears streaming down her face, and with a "dong", the cup fell into the cup.

Sister must be heartbroken because of the injury on her face.

"Sister... it's all my fault..." Leng Tianyin held the cup with both hands and couldn't help crying.

"I'm sorry," she murmured, "I'm sorry..."

Leng Mushi heard the sound of tears falling into the cup, then turned to look at Leng Tianyin, her doubts arose, but the law solved her doubts.

You have entered the Tao.

The Law said - premature awakening of the Five Elements and Five Spiritual Roots.

Leng Mushi was stunned, and the words to drive Leng Tianyin away were stuck in her throat.

Entered the Tao? Didn't she have no way to enter the Tao in the plot?!

The law no longer explained to her, Leng Mushi's expression was full of surprise and uncertainty, she carefully recalled the plot that the law showed her, and she was very sure that she was just an outer disciple who swept the floor when she arrived at Taichu Sect, why did she suddenly awaken the Five Elements and Five Spiritual Roots?

And the big demon Fenlian was making noise again: "Isn't it good to enter the Tao? No matter why, don't pretend to be dead, ask me if the elder who came here has a woman..."

Leng Mushi's head was buzzing, she was a little confused about the current situation, and Leng Tianyin kept crying opposite her, trying to hug her several times, but Leng Mushi held her shoulders.

"Stay away from me." Leng Mushi refused to be intimate with Leng Tianyin, and did not drink the water she handed over.

"Sister... are you mad at me? It's me who is useless. I'm sorry for you. You risked your life to hold back the big demon for me..."

Leng Tianyin wiped her face fiercely, her delicate cheeks were flushed red, she raised her hand and swore: "When we arrive at Taichu Sect, I will practice hard, and if I encounter such a situation again, I will definitely not leave my sister alone behind..."

"Sister, drink some water." Leng Tianyin handed the water glass to Leng Mushi again.

Leng Mushi looked at her coldly, her heart was not moved at all, and she even wanted to hit her inexplicably.

She could act like a love seed to hook up with Xiao Mian according to the law, but she really couldn't act like a sister.

She shouldn't have a sister in her life, otherwise how could she become a child without a mother.

She knew that this should not be blamed on Leng Tianyin, a child is innocent, what else would she know.

But her existence made Leng Mushi fall into the day when she lost her mother in the past.

The heavy snow was flying, but her father was holding Leng Tianyin and playing horsey with her in the snow, letting the cute and snowy Leng Tianyin ride on his neck, while Leng Mushi knelt in the heavy snow, her little hands and face frozen blue, just to beg her heartless father to see her seriously ill mother one last time.

And Leng Tianyin's mother stood on the corridor watching her with a smile, like a victor who didn't need to show off.

Leng Mushi only recalled it briefly, as if she could still smell the cold and silent heavy snow that day, and the bone-chilling coldness in every breath.

However, Leng Mushi was quickly disturbed by the voices in her head, so she had no time to think about those messy things. Her law and the skin-painting monster parasitizing her body didn't know how to quarrel.

"Enough!" Leng Mushi shouted in a low voice.

Leng Tianyin trembled, thinking that Leng Mushi was talking about her, but she still held the water glass stubbornly and didn't back away, staring at Leng Mushi blankly, tears falling silently and crazily.

"Stop crying, I'm not dead," her mind was clear, Leng Mushi said to Leng Tianyin with a sullen face, "I don't drink your snot-soaked water, get out!"

Leng Mushi pushed her aside, Leng Tianyin looked into the water glass she was holding, but found no foreign objects, but thinking that she had snot and tears just now, maybe it really fell in, her face turned red Some retreated.

Leng Mushi had been asleep for too long, she stood up staggeringly, walked to the table, picked up the kettle on the table, raised her neck and began to gulp.

There was a knock on the door, but the door was only ajar, not closed tightly, so the door was knocked open directly-the person standing outside with his hand raised was slightly taken aback, and then he saw Leng Mushi, who was dressed in disheveled clothes, barefoot, and was raising her neck to drink water.

Xiao Mian, who was neatly dressed and even had his hair hanging down his shoulders, blinked his eyes, opened his mouth slightly when he saw her like this, then his eyes lit up silently, and turned sideways to the standing behind him. Taichu Sect's Sixth Elder, Immortal Lord Quyang, respectfully said: "Immortal Lord, Miss Leng has woken up."

Fenlian's chirping voice suddenly sounded in Leng Mushi's mind: "It's that elder, ah, he's so handsome, his legs are so long, tsk tsk tsk, his waist looks so powerful! I don't know if it's big or not."

Leng Mushi almost spit out water, barely suppressing her collapsing expression, if this elder could hear what Fenlian was talking about, he would probably slap her to death.

Poor her, an unmarried girl, was so influenced that she couldn't help but glance at the elder's lower body at the door, her head was about to explode.

Leng Mushi put down the kettle and wiped her mouth casually. She didn't know any elders of the Taichu Sect, but if she wanted to join the Taichu Sect, it would be right to be respectful to these old guys.

She tidied up her appearance indiscriminately, and turned her head to look at Leng Tianyin, only to see that she had already bowed respectfully, and there was no trace on her face, as if the Water Curtain Cave with snot and tears just now was not her.

Sure enough, she is the heroine.

Leng Mushi bowed to Elder Quyang, he walked in slowly, his footsteps were silent, his figure flickered, and he was already sitting by the table.

Xiao Mian and his two senior brothers also followed behind him, and several people stood still. One of the younger senior brothers spoke to Leng Mushi and Leng Tianyin and introduced: "This is the sixth elder of the sect, Immortal Lord Quyang."

Leng Mushi had already blown the teapot on the table with her mouth, so naturally she couldn't pour tea for the elder, Leng Mushi lowered her eyebrows and called out "Greetings, Immortal Lord."

Leng Tianyin also followed Leng Mushi and saluted in a low voice.

"The fairy gate doesn't like mortal etiquette, there's no need to be like this," Immortal Lord Quyang said, his voice was not old, but it didn't match his handsome appearance in his thirties. It was much heavier, like a sack pressing on people, making Leng Mushi, who had just got out of bed, bend her legs in a state of weakness.

But she thought that the immortal said that the fairy gate doesn't pay attention to mortal etiquette, so she gritted her teeth and endured it, but Leng Tianyin behind her couldn't bear the pressure, and knelt down on the ground with a "plop".

Leng Mushi: Heh, this scheming softie, she kneels quite neatly!

She didn't kneel, but stood there stiff-necked and silent, Xiao Mian and his two senior brothers were so anxious that they almost pressed Leng Mushi!

Oh my god, how come she has no eyesight!

That's terrible, they all knew that the Sixth Elder intended to accept apprentices. Originally, because Leng Mushi had cleverly deceived the big demon before, they were able to escape and find Immortal Lord Quyang, who happened to be traveling nearby, as a rescuer, and this was the only way to save Leng Mushi. Immortal Lord Quyang had admired Leng Mushi very much in his words, but she refused to kneel at this time.

She didn't kneel, even if Immortal Lord Quyang wanted to accept apprentices, he couldn't bring himself to speak!

Leng Mushi didn't know about this situation, she just woke up, and this Immortal Lord Quyang clearly said that the fairy gate doesn't pay attention to mortal etiquette, especially she didn't know, just now Elder Quyang spoke with coercion, she was able to withstand it without kneeling because she awakened by chance Spiritual roots, entered the Tao.

Therefore, her "resilience" made Immortal Lord Quyang raise his eyebrows. He liked Leng Mushi, and the apprentice he wanted to accept exceptionally was also her. Seeing that she refused to kneel, he naturally couldn't force her, so he raised his hand to use his spiritual power to help Leng Tianyin behind Leng Mushi up.

Leng Tianyin felt a burst of lightness, and after standing up, she felt amazing, so she naturally thanked Immortal Lord Quyang again, which made Immortal Lord Quyang take another look at her.

"There is nothing serious about you, and you have gains and losses. Although the five spiritual roots are not pure enough, they are rare. As a cultivator, you pay more attention to the Taoist heart." Immortal Lord Quyang said to Leng Mushi gently, "Maintain your current Taoist heart, Taichu Sect is your destination."

This was praising her, after all, she was considered to have saved the three disciples of the Taichu Sect, Leng Mushi bowed slightly again: "Thank you, Immortal Lord, for your guidance."

Immortal Lord Quyang failed to accept his little apprentice, and stood up rather regretfully. This is the foot of Taichu Sect Mountain, and he can enter Taichu Sect after another day's journey. He doesn't need to accompany them anymore, so he is ready to leave.

The three immortal lords, including Xiao Mian, were about to be pissed off by Leng Mushi's wooden head, but Immortal Lord Quyang was present, and it was hard to say anything, so they had to watch her unwillingly.

Leng Mushi noticed Xiao Mian's expression, which looked like he wanted to go to the bathroom but couldn't. She rolled her eyes inexplicably, and saw off Immortal Lord Quyang respectfully.

Seeing that Immortal Lord Quyang was about to leave, the big demon Fenlian couldn't take it anymore, she had already decided that Leng Mushi promised to find her a good man, and she liked this one, so she made a fuss in Leng Mushi's mind, and the law Quarreled with her again.

Leng Mushi's knees were softened by the noise, the law seldom spoke, never talked nonsense, and it was a calm male voice that sounded very stable and pleasant to hear.

But I don't know why, the law and Fenlian, two incompatible things, have been arguing with each other since they discovered each other's existence. At this moment, the law even tore his throat and cursed: "What are you doing? You flat, boneless monster, no man would like you!"

Leng Mushi was about to be driven crazy by these two things, she pressed her head and shook it in place.

Leng Tianyin hurriedly supported her, but Fenlian in her mind was about to explode: "What does it have to do with this ugly stone? She promised to find me a man! If she doesn't find me, I will kill her! I will kill you too if you scold me again!"

The scar on Leng Mushi's left cheek began to hurt violently, she covered it with her hand, even blood oozed from her fingertips, she couldn't help but raised her hand to face Immortal Lord Quyang who had just stepped out of the door Shouted: "Immortal Lord, wait a moment!"

Immortal Lord Quyang paused, turned to look at her with a smile, his eyebrows were very gentle, thinking that this little girl had figured it out, he looked at her expectantly.

As a result, Leng Mushi opened her mouth and said: "Immortal Lord, I venture to ask."

She pressed the blood gushing from her face, smiled, and asked hopelessly: "Dare to ask Immortal Lord... do you have a Taoist companion?"
