Chapter 931 - I Became a Villainess and Was Pestered by Beautiful Girls

In the void, the spirit boat was about to crash into the young girl. Ling Hua was in a flurry of activity, barely managing to stop the spirit boat just in the nick of time before it hit Tang Xin. Following that, the Seventh Elder drew her treasured sword, came out of the boat, and shouted loudly, "Fiends of the Blood Sovereign Hall, daring to impersonate Tang Xin of Xuan Ling Sect, take my sword!" Right after finishing her declaration, she thrust the treasured sword in her hand straight toward the opponent’s chest. But the eldest senior sister stood with hands on her hips, unflinchingly, without a hint of resistance. Ling Hua's eyebrows lifted. Just as the sword tip was about to touch her, she flicked it upward and then nuzzled her face against it. "Eh? It really is Tang Xin. This soft sensation couldn't possibly be mimicked by anyone... “Seventh Elder," the eldest senior sister pushed the person away and said earnestly, “I came on the Sect Leader's orders to capture you. Do not resist and follow me back quickly." "Capture?" Ling Hua looked her up and down, saying, "You don't seriously think that, just because both of us are at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, our strength is comparable, do you?" "Alright," Tang Xin couldn't keep up the pretense any longer and waved her hand to confess, "You know how angry Yu Ling Zi must be by now, right? If you return soon, she might just let you off with thirty cane strikes." "It's impossible," the Seventh Elder shook her head emphatically, "I've already come this far; I cannot give up halfway." "Once more," Tang Xin frowned and intensified her tone, "Return quickly. Yu Ling Zi is figuring out how to assemble a team. Once we have enough people, we will rescue Fei Yao!" "When will that be?" Ling Hua frowned as well, "You may not believe it, but I feel that this attack by the Blood Sovereign Hall is a prelude to a massive conspiracy. Fei Yao's life is in imminent danger; she might not last that long." "Are you sure you're not spouting nonsense?" Tang Xin interrogated. "Do you really take me for a fool?" Ling Hua spoke gravely, "If there were any other way, do you think I would take such a risk? It was because of my foolishness back then that the senior sister suffered. Haven't I learned anything at all?" The Seventh Elder, with a rare blend of earnest seriousness and a hint of grievance, spoke her heart out. Tang Xin pondered for a while, then looked up to gauge Ling Hua's expression. After a moment, she finally said, "Alright." The eldest senior sister stepped aside. "Thank you, Tang Xin," sighed the Seventh Elder in relief. "I knew you would believe me... Don't worry, I will definitely bring Fei Yao back alive. "No," the eldest senior sister shook her head, "It's us! Together, we'll bring Fei Yao back!" Ling Hua was stunned on the spot. "Have you gone mad, deciding on a whim to court death?" the Seventh Elder said gloomily, "Rather than handing it to the enemy, you might as well give it to someone on our side, like giving it to me... "Enough with the nonsense," Tang Xin interjected. "Either you take me with you, or I'll cling to your leg and wait right here until Yu Ling Zi and the others arrive." "Are you... serious?" Ling Hua didn’t know how to react. "Deadly serious," the eldest senior sister nodded emphatically. The Seventh Elder hesitated for a long while but eventually shook her head, rejecting the eldest senior sister's proposal. "It's not possible; I can't just watch you go to your death... Just wait here instead." Having said that, she raised her arm, ready to act. Tang Xin, without any hesitation, pulled out a broom and aimed it at the elder, wordlessly conveying, "If you dare to act, I'm prepared to go to the end with you." The two stood off against each other in the void for a long time, until finally, Ling Hua couldn’t help but let out a long sigh. "You truly are crazy." Tang Xin smiled, "You're not too far off yourself." The simple-minded Sect Leader Yu Ling Zi was once again outmaneuvered. Having sent her most trusted person to intercept the wayward Seventh Elder, not only did she fail to bring her back but also got another person entangled in the affair. Probably, by the time she receives the news, she would be so enraged that she might shrink another inch in height... Having boarded the proverbial ship of thieves, Tang Xin and Ling Hua continued their stealthy journey toward the direction of the Hell Realm. The Hell Realm is a minor world-level space with more than one entrance. They could only sneak within a certain range, conceal the spirit boat, then slowly make their way over, figuring out a way to enter. "Tang Xin, I love you to death!" in the spirit boat, the Seventh Elder hugged the eldest senior sister's slender waist, crying out in a melodramatic tone. "Had I not met Fei Yao first, I might have decided to spend my life with you!" "Perhaps the fact that you didn’t meet me first is the luckiest thing in my life." Actually, from the start, Tang Xin didn’t quite think about truly convincing Ling Hua to return. It wasn't that Yu Ling Zi and the others didn’t value Fei Yao enough, but rather, to the Seventh Elder, Fei Yao held significance at another level altogether. Like she recited..… "My light, my warmth, the fire of my life, how could I live without you..." "Damn it, I haven't settled the score with you for loudly reading my letter! Who allowed you to read it out loud?" "Why can't I read it? Wasn't your letter meant for everyone? It didn’t specifically say 'Only for the peerlessly beautiful elder Ling Hua’s disciple!'" "A normal person would know what should and shouldn't be read from the context!" "I am not a normal person!" Just having become comrades-in-arms, the two were now squabbling again... However, seeing the Seventh Elder's somewhat unscrupulous look towards her own body, Tang Xin knew that continuing the fight would be disadvantageous to herself and could only reluctantly let it go. Really, if she wasn't worried about Su Ling growing up without a master, negatively impacting her mental and physical health, she would feel tempted to kick her straight into the Blood Sovereign Hall's lair... "Cough cough," Ling Hua straightened her collar and spoke, "Don’t be angry, huh? I am Su Ling’s master, even half a mother to her. I naturally have to understand everything about my daughter’s condition." "With a parent like you who irritates people, no wonder Su Ling’s chest hasn't grown bigger," the eldest senior sister huffed. "So what if she has no chest? Didn't she still captivate you?" the Seventh Elder said, revealing a mischievous smile, continuing, “Seriously though, isn’t it about time? I know my disciple well. If you keep being unclear, she will remain oblivious forever." "What are you talking about?" Tang Xin crossed her arms and turned her head away, pretending to say, "I don't understand..." "Stop it, the tsundere style doesn't suit you," Ling Hua laughed even more lewdly, "You know very well what I'm saying!" "Alright, enough," the eldest senior sister said impatiently. "Let's focus on the task at hand and figure out how to enter the Hell Realm without actually getting ourselves killed there..." "Figure out what, we'll deal with it when it comes!" Ling Hua, like an annoying troublemaker, deliberately brought up exactly what Tang Xin tried to avoid. "When will you finally admit that Su Ling occupies an irreplaceable position in your heart?"
