After the Villainess Awakens

The Law is not right.

Leng Musheng always felt that it was not right, and even suspected that it was some kind of living soul trapped inside, or even a stone that had become a spirit.

She had no intention of paying attention to the plot, and she had already made things clear. The only reason Xiao Mian didn't kill her was because of the iron law of the Tai Chu Sect that members of the same sect could not kill each other.

Otherwise, if their positions were reversed, Leng Musheng imagined that if a man confessed to her and pestered her, using all kinds of tricks to harm her, but she accidentally fell in love with him and confessed to him passionately, the other party would say, "Sorry, I was just teasing you. Don't tell me you can't take a joke? I don't like your type anyway, so don't come looking for me again…"

Leng Musheng would skin him alive.

But the temptation to purify her spiritual roots was too great, and there was also the matter of solving the problem of the strange smell of her pills due to her mixed spiritual roots. Not only did the Law say that the smell was poisonous, but Hua Yanyue had also said it, and the reactions of the demonic beasts could also confirm it.

This was still a low-grade pill, and its lethality was not to be underestimated. If it was a middle-grade or high-grade pill, she was afraid that no matter how much pill resistance she had cultivated, she would poison herself to death before she could even open the furnace.

This was indeed a big problem. Leng Musheng tried every means to coax the Law and used all sorts of ways to threaten it, but she really couldn't do anything to it.

She had tried everything: smashing it, throwing it away, burning it with fire, drowning it in water. The Law would not feel pain, nor would it die.

The fact was that she really couldn't do anything to the Law. She could ignore the plot, the pain of burning soul was nothing. Now the initiative was in her hands. She couldn't do anything to the Law, and the Law naturally couldn't do anything to her either, otherwise it wouldn't have promised her to help her purify her spiritual roots if she followed the plot.

Leng Musheng thought about it all night. The next morning, she put the Law in her storage bag and went down the mountain to participate in the entrance examination for new disciples.

In the past, in order to escape her fate, she had to follow the plot. Now, in order to change her spiritual roots, she decided to follow the plot again.

But thinking back, this part of the plot was really painful. In the plot, she, the vicious female supporting character, was originally an outer disciple, so naturally, she didn't need to participate in the preliminary test. However, on the day of the preliminary test, the inner sect was open to outer disciples, and outer disciples were allowed to enter and watch.

Therefore, the vicious female supporting character, who had been humiliated and bullied in the outer sect, saw that her younger sister had become even more immortal-like in appearance and her cultivation had also improved a lot. There were also several senior brothers surrounding her, treating her like a treasure. How could the vicious female supporting character not be jealous?

So, she somehow got her hands on some medicinal powder that could temporarily make people lose their spiritual power, wanting to sprinkle it on her younger sister while she was talking to her. However, she was discovered by one of her senior brothers - Xiao Mian.

That's right, it had to be Xiao Mian who discovered her.

Because she was Leng Tianyin's elder sister, Xiao Mian didn't immediately report her to the disciplinary hall disciples. Instead, he took her to a secluded grove nearby to persuade and educate her.

The vicious female supporting character pretended to repent on the surface, but in reality, her heart was twisted. She liked Xiao Mian and had confessed to him more than once, but Xiao Mian had always ignored her. She planned to rely on Xiao Mian to enter the inner sect and put on a pitiful act to try to seduce him.

Tried to seduce him…

That wasn't all. She even drugged Xiao Mian with the medicine that could temporarily make people lose their spiritual power. Then, when Xiao Mian lost his spiritual power, she pounced on him and almost…

Fortunately, Xiao Mian crushed his communication jade token in time to call for help. The inner sect disciples rushed over, and the vicious female supporting character was whipped by the disciplinary hall and completely expelled from the sect.

This part of the plot ended.

Leng Musheng walked down the steps, recalling this part of the plot in her mind, and asked the Law in an indescribable tone, "Do you think that after I said those words to him that day, and then tried to seduce him today, and even drugged him, and was discovered by other disciples halfway through… I can still live?"

Law: "…Don't panic, I don't think it's a big problem."

Leng Musheng was speechless. Imagining Xiao Mian's reaction, she couldn't help but ask, "I don't think it's my illusion… I've only realized now that in the plot, it seems that I'm the one who's harming Leng Tianyin, but in fact, most of the time, it's making me go after Xiao Mian."

"Why?" Leng Musheng asked.

The Law started to play dead again.

Leng Musheng sneered and said, "You'd better be able to purify my spiritual roots, or else I'll bury you in a pit of shit and urine… of the Poison Flame Beast."

Leng Musheng was no longer an outer disciple, and she didn't need to go through the previous plot of the vicious female supporting character entering the inner sect and acting surprised. So, she started directly from trying to drug Leng Tianyin.

She had the medicine that could make people lose their spiritual power, but was there a need to use it? As long as she stood there and said a few words to Leng Tianyin, would Leng Tianyin not eat what she gave her?

The difficult part was not whether the drug could be successfully administered, but how to do it in front of Xiao Mian, and how to make Xiao Mian intervene and take her to the grove on his own initiative.

Would Xiao Mian be so free as to care about their sisters' affairs?

Besides, if he saw it, he might not be able to resist slashing at her with his sword.

The fundamental reason why Leng Musheng didn't dare to go down the mountain these days was because she was afraid that Xiao Mian would seek revenge. After all, no matter how harsh her words were when she rejected Xiao Mian that day, Xiao Mian hadn't completely gotten over his liking for her at that time, so he wouldn't have gone too far.

However, as long as he went back and thought about it, he would realize how excessive Leng Musheng was. Then, his love would turn into hatred. The reason why he didn't attack the Cang Sheng Courtyard was probably because he was afraid of her master, Hua Yanyue.

Therefore, although Leng Musheng couldn't resist the temptation of the Law and decided to follow the plot, when she really arrived at the training ground and saw Xiao Mian, Yi Tu, Xing Zhou, and Leng Tianyin standing together, she didn't dare to go over.

From afar, across countless disciples who were either excited or worried, Leng Musheng's eyes met Xiao Mian's ice-cold gaze, and half of her body went numb from the cold.

"Law, Law, I think there's a big problem," Leng Musheng said. "I really can't go through with the plot. Xiao Mian will kill me, really."

-- He wouldn't dare. Even if you kill him, he won't dodge.

The Law spoke in Leng Musheng's mind.

Leng Musheng just wanted to sneer when she heard this. The Law really dared to lie to her in order to make her follow the plot.

She temporarily dismissed the idea of going over to talk to them. It was almost time to draw lots. Leng Musheng decided to draw lots first and then play it by ear.

On the square outside the Ji Sheng Hall, the disciples of each elder were whispering to their fellow disciples.

The runes of the formation in the center of the square lit up. On both sides of the dueling platform were Out-of-Body Formation. Some disciples were already trying to project their divine sense.

The new disciples had only been admitted for three months, and they were not accurate with their hands. If they fought for real, they might be seriously injured. Therefore, the current battle between the new disciples of the sect was actually only carried out by projecting their divine sense.

The battle of divine sense projection was a battle of moves and divine sense. It was just a test of entry. Even if one was seriously injured, after coming out of the Out-of-Body Formation, one would recover after lying down for a few days.

The preliminary test was divided into three stages. The first stage was the divine sense battle, the second stage was the rune test, and the third stage was the Dao Heart Formation.

After passing these three stages, the disciples with excellent quality and aptitude would be formally taught by the elders every day and choose the most profound Dao techniques of the Tai Chu Sect to practice. Only then would they be considered to be officially on the right track of cultivation.

Now, the new disciples on the field were all being reminded and instructed by their senior brothers and sisters. Some were responsible for cheering them on, while others were responsible for watching over the injured disciples so that they could be taken back for treatment immediately.

The outer disciples were assigned a special area to observe the various resources after entering the inner sect. Because the outer disciples also had assessments and quotas to enter the inner sect every year, this was a form of motivation.

The outermost perimeter was guarded by the disciples of the Disciplinary Hall to maintain order. These disciples were the capable senior brothers and sisters from the various elders' branches. After entering the Disciplinary Hall, they had priority in all aspects of the sect's resources. When new secret realms were discovered, the disciples of the Disciplinary Hall would be the first to explore them.

However, the requirements for cultivation and all other aspects were extremely high. Even Xiao Mian in the plot only entered in the later stages.

Of course, the male protagonist entered the Disciplinary Hall in order to help the female protagonist cover up her mistakes and escape punishment.

Leng Musheng looked around and retracted her gaze. She had no senior brothers or sisters to cheer for her, no one to instruct her on how to win. Her only senior brother was disguised as her master, and her only master had packed her bags and run away last night…

Leng Musheng looked at Leng Tianyin, who was surrounded by several disciples of the Fifth Elder, and felt a trace of sourness in her heart.

However, this sourness quickly dissipated. Leng Musheng walked alone to the place where the lots were drawn and showed the jade pendant of the Second Elder's courtyard. The one in charge of drawing lots was You Zishu, the chief disciple of the sect master, Zheng Ping, who was presiding over today's test.

He was expressionlessly looking at the disciples' identity plates and then directly handed out the wooden sticks without raising his head. When it was Leng Musheng's turn, she directly took out the Second Elder's jade pendant, which really surprised him.

The elders' jade pendants had the opening talismans for all the formations in the entire mountain gate, the weapon vault, the scripture library, the forbidden area behind the mountain, and even the Imprisonment Formation that imprisoned the great demons. They could be opened at will.

These elders' jade pendants had never been casually carried by ordinary disciples, especially new disciples.

You Zishu stopped his movements, straightened his waist slightly, stood on the lottery platform, and looked down at Leng Musheng from above. He moved his thin lips and asked, "Where is your disciple identity plate?"

Leng Musheng was stunned. Only then did she realize that the thing in every disciple's hand was only the same shape as her jade pendant. The rest were completely different. The ones they were holding had their names and even the date they entered the sect, while hers was just a bare jade pendant with the words "Hua Yanyue" engraved on it.

Leng Musheng scratched her head. "Senior Brother, my master went down the mountain last night. I haven't been down the mountain for nearly a month, so I don't know where to get the identity plate. But my master told me that I can use this for anything…"

You Zishu frowned slightly. He knew about the Cang Sheng Courtyard, but the Second Elder was too indulgent of her disciple. If this jade pendant was lost and fell into the hands of demons, or if this little disciple accidentally opened some barrier, what should he do?

You Zishu glanced in the direction of the Ji Sheng Hall and then looked at Leng Musheng. Seeing her appearance, it didn't seem like she knew what this jade pendant was for. There were still many disciples queuing up behind her waiting to draw lots. Time was up and they couldn't delay any longer, so You Zishu raised his hand and gave her a wooden stick.

However, he still decided to ask for the jade pendant later and hand it over to her master for decision-making. You Zishu had always been meticulous. This matter was of great importance and should not be discussed in public.

"Wait for me in the empty woods over there. I have something to tell you," You Zishu said via voice transmission as he handed the wooden stick to Leng Musheng, not letting go immediately.

Leng Musheng tugged at the wooden stick, but You Zishu didn't let go. Leng Musheng looked up in confusion and bumped into his light, pale eyes.

What a pair of… dead fish eyes.

Leng Musheng was now afraid of the words "I have something to tell you". When she heard them, she couldn't help but think of what Xiao Mian had said to her that day, "I like you too".

It was the same as You Zishu's voice ringing in her ears now, making Leng Musheng want to dig her ears.

She was briefly lost in thought. Seeing Leng Musheng's dazed expression, You Zishu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked her with his eyes if she had heard him.

Leng Musheng thought that he was talking to her directly and didn't realize that he was using voice transmission. She nodded immediately and said in a loud voice, "Ah, I heard you. I'll wait for Senior Brother in the grove."

After nodding, Leng Musheng took the wooden stick and left. She didn't see You Zishu's stiff expression after she turned around, nor did she see the shocked expressions of the other disciples as if they had heard something extraordinary.

Of course, among them, Xiao Mian, who was queuing up to draw lots on behalf of Leng Tianyin who had a stomachache, didn't show any exaggerated expression like the other disciples, nor did he whisper impatiently. Instead, his gaze followed Leng Musheng's back as she brushed past him, as if to stare two big holes in her back.
