Chapter 950 - I Became a Villainess and Was Pestered by Beautiful Girls

The sun shone brightly within the bounds of Xuan Ling Sect. "Ha—" Tang Xin stretched languidly, letting out a grand yawn. Then, she rolled over, continuing to lounge on the grass, basking in the sunlight... After the ordeal with the Hell realm, Qingzhou finally regained its usual peace. The severely damaged Blood Reverence Hall ceased causing chaos across the continent, and high-level cultivators devoted themselves to their intense research work. Ling Hua had disappeared, likely off to hasten the research on the Fei Yao's spirit world. The several Seven Star Maidens who went to the secret realms for trials had yet to send back any news. Fortunately, their life lamps burned vigorously, indicating that no major mishaps had occurred. Even Yi Rou, Fang Ling, and others were busy with the sect’s public affairs. After Yu Lingzi advanced to a Tribulation Crossing Cultivator, the status of Xuan Ling Sect rose significantly, seemingly requiring the expansion of the sect’s gates. In short, there were far more miscellaneous tasks than usual, keeping them extremely busy. Only the eldest senior sister remained idle. Having been detached from sect affairs for too long, it was now difficult for her to take on responsibilities like Yi Rou and others. There was no need for battle outside, and even if there was, her significant contributions meant she didn’t need to intervene. Put simply, there was nothing that required her involvement. "～～" Tang Xin made another odd noise, rolling around on the ground, alternately sunning her back and front. "Is that Tang Senior Sister rolling on the grass?" "It seems so... Strange, I heard she gets uncomfortable if she doesn't have a mission. Why is she so listless now?” Is the portrayal of her in the Xuan Ling Sect’s pamphlet all lies?" During the years of the eldest senior sister’s absence, Xuan Ling Sect had recruited many new disciples. They all had heard of the "Paragon of Righteousness," who, according to the pamphlet, was a selfless, kind, gentle, and amiable character. Not someone who, like a salted fish at present, turned over and over, sunning first her front, then her back... "Tang Senior Sister, the Sect Master wants you to visit the main hall." "Got it." Upon receiving the message, the eldest senior sister sprang up, heading leisurely toward the Sect Master’s hall. "Speaking of which, Tang Senior Sister has already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul realm. Why is she still in the disciple rank?" An older disciple asked, puzzled. "Yeah, according to the rules of Xuan Ling Sect, reaching the Nascent Soul realm should qualify one for eldership, right?" "Could it be that we’re advancing to a super sect? From now on, not reaching the Soul Severing realm means you cannot become an inner sect elder?" "How do you put it... What does the Seventh Elder do then? Get demoted to a disciple?” ... In the Sect Master's Hall. "I’ve called you here to discuss this matter." Yu Lingzi, seated on the Sect Master's throne, said while idly playing with her feet. "We're still far from reaching the level of a super sect. The number of disciple elders, the extent of the sect's gate, the concentration of spiritual energy... To become a superpower, it would require at least several hundred to a thousand years of accumulation." "So... What now?" Tang Xin rubbed her head. "Therefore, you should no longer monopolize the position of the first disciple," Yu Lingzi stated, "I’m planning to officially make you an elder of Xuan Ling Sect." "Ah?" The eldest senior sister expressed surprise, "But my role is 'Eldest Senior Sister of Xuan Ling Sect', isn't it? If you strip me of my character traits, how will outsiders address me in the future?" "Come on, from now on, your character trait will be 'The Busty Elder of Xuan Ling Sect'." Changing status was no small matter. From now on, Tang Xin in the cultivation world would not be just a "junior" but truly someone with status and qualifications to join the circles of Yu Lingzi and others. Actually, considering her realm, she was still a bit lacking to join this circle. However, everyone seemed to have concluded that, like Ling Hua, she was a "special talent" whose capabilities couldn't merely be judged by realm, so the Sect Master deciding this was no issue at all. "Change my status if you must," Tang Xin nodded after listening, "Anyway, those who know me will still call me Eldest Senior Sister, so it doesn’t really matter where it goes." "Good," Yu Lingzi continued, "Since you're vacating your position, when you're free later, go see a few candidates and help me consider who might be suitable to become the new First Disciple." "..So you're looking for my successor already?" Time truly ages people; once, the eldest senior sister was the pillar among the disciple ranks, but now she had to start looking for a successor... "The elders of Xuan Ling Sect don’t have any rigid rules; you don’t need to change your name. You'll still be Tang Xin." The Sect Master introduced. The eldest senior sister quite liked this aspect. In some sects, upon becoming an elder, one had to add a specific generational title to their name, like “Tang Tian Xin," "Tang Di Xin," "Tang Xuan Xin," "Tang Huang Xin"... "Given the current situation within the sect, your position is temporarily set as the 'Diplomatic Elder', specifically responsible for communication with other forces." "What situation within the sect means, no one can talk peacefully with people?" Tang Xin had seen Yu Lingzi’s way of communication. If it were someone else, Xuan Ling Sect probably would have suffered oppression numerous times, but who would mind when she's a beloved lolita. "Then, your first task after becoming an elder." Yu Lingzi said seriously. "What task?" "Addressing the conflicts between humans and the external race." "..What?" The time rolls back to the last major event in Qingzhou, the crisis of the Spirit-devouring Worms. Thanks to the assistance of the external race, the cultivation world managed to minimize the impact caused by the spatial rifts, successfully sealed the Spirit-devouring Worm realm, and averted an annihilation crisis. After the crisis ended, the external races officially returned to everyone’s attention. Sacred Immortal Mountain even specially allocated a piece of land, naming it Fang Clan City, to commemorate the help of these allies. In the blink of an eye, more than a decade had passed since the Spirit-devouring Worm crisis, allowing the external races to have ample contact with humans. "The consequence of contact is that everyone is about to start fighting," Yu Lingzi explained, "I’m not very clear about the specifics, but it’s said that the external races are protesting against discrimination by the cultivation world, and some cultivators are protesting that these external races have excessive privileges, encroaching on their interests... In short, it’s quite troublesome." "Wait," Elder Tang’s mouth twitched, "With such a big issue, isn’t anyone managing it?" "Of course, people are," Yu Lingzi shot her a glance, "The super forces are all watching this situation. But they can’t manage it. We might be able to speak to our side, but the external races don’t listen to our explanations at all." These external races have said, 'Humans are a group of cunning and deceitful beings, not even their punctuation can be trusted,' except for 'the divine messenger... Ideally, you should have dealt with this issue as soon as you returned, but just as luck would have it, the Blood Reverence Hall initiated their attack, delaying this until now." "Little Tang," the lolita Sect Master came over to her, habitually patting her ample bosom, "The allies you brought back yourself, can you handle it?" "Can't you fly up and pat my shoulder instead..."
