Chapter 918 - I Became a Villainess and Was Pestered by Beautiful Girls

Let's talk about when the eldest disciple sister's first family letter was sent back to the Xuan Ling Sect. Several Seven Stars, along with An Qiao Ning Yan and other supporting characters, had already embarked on a journey to the "Seven Stars Relics". Before setting off, after a serious discussion, they decided to share the matter of the "Seven Stars" with a few reliable people around them. Making such a choice required careful consideration from them. Led by Su Ling Xu Le Xian, these super geniuses, with different identities, backgrounds, social statuses, and cultivation paths, always gathered together. As time went by, they drew more and more attention. If their closeness could still be explained as "having good relations and enjoying each other's company", then going to explore the same secret domain together several times seemed a bit far-fetched. Fortuitous encounters, even among sect brothers and sisters, were competitive, not something you'd share with friends every time. Moreover, the cultivation levels of the few Seven Stars had already reached the stage of "self-protection". Though they were only at the Nascent Soul stage, ordinary spirit severing powers could not harm them. If there were several people present, they could even protect themselves against combined path powerhouses. Not everyone was like Tang Xin, encountering enemies two or even three levels higher each time. With such strength, in most cases, their lives were not in danger. And, most importantly... "Xue Zun Hall underestimates us. The Nine Provinces Continent isn't short of geniuses. If they dare, let them capture the truly potential ones under the protection of countless superpower elders..." Fruit Sprout wiped her mouth with Tang Xin's sleeve and said. "Tang Xin, what flavor of fruit are the Seven Stars?" "Are we exposing it now?" The eldest disciple sister didn't answer her master's question but lowered her head and pondered. Honestly, she would have preferred waiting until everyone's strength was stronger, like when everyone reached the spirit severing stage, before making it public. But after all, she wasn't a member of the Seven Stars; she could only offer advice. Moreover, Xue Zun Hall had already captured Mu Lan and the seventh of the Seven Stars. Maybe they were already aware of the prophecy of the "Seven Stars saving the world". As for why they hadn't targeted them specifically... maybe they didn't take it seriously? Or they were prepared? "Any movements from the major super sects?" Tang Xin thought for a while and asked. If the Nine Provinces' cultivation world officially declared war on Xue Zun Hall, there would be no need to worry too much about the Seven Stars issue. By then, the conflict between both parties would be out in the open, and whether they saved the world or not wouldn't matter as much. "It doesn't seem like there's any movement," Fruit Sprout said. "Mainly because the Wen Tian Sect hasn't responded. Both the Xun Xian Pavilion and Tian Huang Mountain are waiting for them to make a decision." Wen Tian Sect was waiting for the three eastern provinces to unite, and the three eastern provinces were waiting for Wen Tian Sect to decide, creating a deadlock. "Tang Xin, Tang Xin," Teacher happily called out, cheerful like a oriole. "I heard you're cultivating a technique with a beautiful master. Where is she? Why haven't I seen her?" "She is not my master; you are my master. And why are you so happy? Don't you usually get angry and jealous..." Before Tang Xin could finish, a chill arose behind her. "Didn't you just say that although we don't have the name of master and disciple, we do in reality?" Star Rainbow appeared out of nowhere behind her, startling the eldest disciple sister so much she almost jumped on the spot. "One should not serve two masters... I mean, under normal circumstances." "Aren't you the one who looked down on yourself for not having great fortune? Why are you getting jealous now?" "Ha ha," Star Rainbow just wanted to scare her and then laughed, "I guess this means 'having the name of master and disciple but not the reality', right?" Fruit Sprout looked up at the woman in front of her, her eyebrows knitted in a frown, which slowly relaxed after a while. "No malice, but it can't entirely be called good intentions either..." She murmured to herself. "Truly, a rare pure heart in the world of cultivation," Star Rainbow was not offended, nodding slightly. "No matter how you try to hide it, you can't escape those eyes that see through all deceit." "Wait, what do you mean not entirely good intentions?" Tang Xin's face changed, and she immediately stepped back. "Could it be that Senior Star Rainbow is training me only to wait until I'm plump and ripe to take my body?" "If I wanted to possess you, would I let you out? Would I allow you to meet your master?" Star Rainbow laughed. "Then why say it's not entirely good intentions?" Tang Xin asked, suspiciously. Star Rainbow's lips parted slightly, then paused as if reorganizing her thoughts, and slowly replied. "I nurture you to save my disciple and fulfill my destiny, but... this risk should not have been yours to bear. She is my disciple; it should be my responsibility to save her." "Whew, and here I thought it was something else," hearing the explanation, Tang Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Your chances of success in saving her seem even lower. This concerns the fate of the continent, so we must proceed with even more caution." "Tang Xin, Tang Xin," Fruit Sprout tugged at the eldest disciple sister's arm, "they're probably not a bad person." "I actually prefer if the senior was a bit bad; after all, good people don't last long in these times." After receiving Fruit Sprout Elders' "good person certification", Senior Star Rainbow seemed somewhat pleased and rummaged in their sleeve, taking out a golden fruit and tossing it to her. "A Fruit of Proving, harvested by me in a small world years ago, it can ensure you advance to the peak of Combined Path with the least resistance. Eat a bit every three years and it will..." "It’s delicious, I want more!" Following that was a bout of chaos. A treasure like the Fruit of Proving wasn't meant to be swallowed in one bite. Anyone else would have immediately succumbed to cultivation deviation and burst to death. Even someone like Fruit Sprout, who would never develop a heart demon in her lifetime, would feel immense pressure. Fortunately, there was a senior in the middle of tribulation among them, who, with the power of great divine abilities, temporarily sealed most of the fruit's power, allowing her to digest it slowly on her own. "You two really are a pair... never making things easy for anyone." Looking at Fruit Sprout, who had peacefully fallen asleep on the bed, Star Rainbow heaved a sigh of relief. "Senior," Tang Xin stood by, her voice low, "how are my friends... doing? Fruit Sprout said they haven't returned since they entered the secret realm for exploration." "Don't worry," Star Rainbow glanced to a certain direction, as if stars were crossing her eyes, "I promised you, and I will keep my promise. They've encountered some minor troubles, but are still within the fate decreed by the heavens." "What about the other side?" She asked again. Star Rainbow looked in another direction, her brows furrowing as if her vision encountered a dense mist, something easy to overlook if not scrutinized. "It seems they're busy preparing... Although I don't know what for, there's no doubt, a great battle is imminent!"
