985 - I Became a Villainess and Was Pestered by Beautiful Girls

**Chapter Nine Eight Five: The Timid and Cowardly Senior Sister** Half a year later. In the eastern part of You Province, within the Poisonous Mist Plains. "We've been crouching here for three days already..." Lying low in a thicket, Min Xuan’er stared at the pale yellow mist ahead and muttered softly. "Captain, should we keep waiting?" Her companion, also lying low beside her, inquired. "What captain? When on a mission, call me Team Leader!" Min Xuan’er glared back at them. "According to the intel, this area hides a remnant base of the Blood Sovereign Hall. If the other squads have completed their tasks as planned, the enemy should be driven here." "And if they haven't completed the mission?" "Then we might have to consider how to retrieve their corpses..." As soon as she finished speaking, a blazing fire light erupted in the distance, visible even through the thick mist. Boom—!!! A powerful shockwave pushed the mist away, forcing the young cultivators hidden in the grass to raise their protective barriers. This mist was highly toxic; even if a Nascent Soul cultivator were to inhale it, they'd end up frothing at the mouth. With the mist gone and the grass flattened, Min Xuan’er and her team no longer had a reason to remain concealed. "Damn it, Qing Xuan, you idiot!" Min Xuan’er fumed. "We were supposed to catch them like turtles in a jar, but now what?" "Captain, didn’t Instructor Tang Xin say we should maintain our composure during missions...?" "I said, call me Team Leader!" Along with the explosion’s shockwave came a group of tattered and wounded individuals, comprising both humans and non-human species. Behind them trailed another group of young cultivators. "Hahahaha, explosions are the best! To hell with plans—just blow everything up and it's done!" Qing Xuan floated in the air, laughing as she hurled fireballs below. Half landed on the enemies, while the other half hit her allies... Min Xuan’er twitched, signaling her companion to proceed as planned, to surround the Blood Sovereign Hall remnants on the plains. She herself flew over, gritting her teeth. "Are you insane? We had a plan!" "Wasn't the plan to destroy the base and eliminate the remnants?" Qing Xuan replied blissfully. "I executed the mission perfectly. Now Tang Xin owes me a sleepover...” “Sleepover? If you’re not smothered by a pillow, consider yourself lucky!” “Well... if she were to smother me with her chest, I might consider that.” These were two "genius squads" from the Nine Provinces Alliance, led respectively by the "Head Disciple Candidates" from Tianhuang Mountain and Xunxian Temple. After being appointed by Master Yuling—no, Alliance Leader Yuling—over a hundred top talents from various factions of the Nine Provinces were selected and put under Instructor Tang Xin's command. She divided them into several teams, choosing the best members to become team leaders. After half a year of training, these squads were dispatched to various parts of the Nine Provinces continent to perform "warm-up missions." "Experience is gained through real combat." This was something Instructor Tang often said. And another phrase was, "Those who perform well should be rewarded"… Many times, it was her rewards that motivated the team leaders to extraordinary efforts. "Speaking of which, where’s Tang Xin?" Qing Xuan asked, recovering slightly from her exhilaration. "I thought our mission was the most important. How come she didn't join us?" "She’s with another group on a more critical mission," Min Xuan’er pointed westward. "I heard there’s some ‘ancient secret’ deep within You Province..." ... You Province, located in the western part of the continent, was the most barren place in all the Nine Provinces. Vast and sparsely populated with harsh conditions, it wasn’t suitable for cultivation, and even ordinary people struggled to survive. The green hills and clear waters of the Three Eastern Provinces, the prosperity of Yong Province, the war-torn Three Northern Provinces, seemed to have nothing to do with this place. For thousands of years, it had remained almost unchanged, seemingly untouched by the great wars between righteous and demonic forces, or even earlier conflicts between humans and non-humans. Until today, this desolate land welcomed a group of uninvited guests. "We’ve ventured deep into the heart of You Province," Tang Xin said. "The spiritual energy here is extremely chaotic. Conserve your strength… and you there, stop wasting energy on conjuring fireworks!" "Tang Xin, Tang Xin, I’ve discovered the spiritual energy here has some unique properties!" Xian Ling said excitedly. "The fireworks I conjured are pink!" "Truly remarkable... wait, no! Behave yourself and follow orders!" "Alright~" "Master Divine Envoy," Qian Qian whispered from the side, "It's not just the spiritual energy. The land beneath us and the sunlight above are different from other places." "Hmm," Tang Xin looked around, her expression serious. "After all, it’s said this was once the battlefield of two Supreme Realm powerhouses..." As the instructor for the "Genius Training Program," Tang Xin was not supposed to leave the Xuanling Sect’s main camp for outside missions. However, a message from Star Rainbow Senior prompted her to bring this team, which included sect cultivators, divine families, and non-human species, to this barren land. "An unknown fate has appeared in the western part of You Province, possibly related to a Supreme. If possible, you may want to investigate." Star Rainbow Senior rarely "revealed the secrets of heaven" like this, naturally piquing the curiosity of the senior sister. The alliance initially sent Tribulation Transcending cultivators to scout the area. After confirming it was safe, the genius squad ventured in deeper. "This space within the Nine Provinces continent, yet akin to a secret realm, seems to contain 'residual laws'," Xian Ling mused after playing around for a while. "Beings of too high a level might be affected or even blocked by these residual laws…" "Is this the influence of Supreme power?" Tang Xin muttered solemnly. In the squad, Xian Ling, who had received the "Supreme Inheritance" from a divine family, was most familiar with Supreme power. "However," Qian Qian scratched her head, resisting the urge to transform into a slime creature, "where exactly do we find this 'unknown fate’? Is it an object, a person, or some phenomenon?” "Not sure," the senior sister shook her head. "But we’ve arrived at the place Star Rainbow Senior mentioned, so it should be around here..." [Detected… Main Mission… Start…] [External interference detected. System entering safe mode.] “?” Another problem? Whoosh—whoosh— The wind picked up around them, causing the team of young geniuses to shiver. The once normal environment suddenly displayed sporadic "spots," as if someone had carelessly splashed paint onto the sky and ground. "Tang Xin, Tang Xin, I think this place is quite eerie..." Xian Ling quickly clung to the senior sister’s arm, speaking fearfully. Tang Xin was also scared, but as the team leader, she could only feign calmness, looking around with a stern face. A few breaths later, a strange voice echoed in everyone’s ears.
