"You're the current villain, I'm the original villain. I'm even older than you, so what's wrong with letting me have a share of your opportunities?"
Ye Luo transmigrat...
Capture Luo Xi and return to the clan, leaving nothing behind when in danger
Linghu Luoxi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and before she was fully awake, she met a pair of deep black eyes so close to her. The man was extremely handsome, and the few remaining black scales at the corners of his eyes shone coldly in the candlelight. His bangs fluttered gently on both sides, and his black eyes were unblinking.
"ah--"
Linghu Luoxi instinctively raised her hand, but the other person grabbed her wrist. The cold fingers pressed against her pulse point, causing her whole body to tremble.
"Don't move." The man said in a low voice, "Your ribs have just been repaired."
Linghu Luoxi then realized that she was lying on an unfamiliar bed. A woman in black slid through the door, and the man let go of her hand and saluted, "Master."
Linghu Luoxi was bewildered. He looked around and saw that he was in a hotel room. The woman handed him the medicine with a blank expression and said, "Drink it."
Linghu Luoxi looked at the bowl of green medicine with a frown on her face, "No."
The woman didn't answer, but handed the medicine to the man. The man took the medicine and walked towards Linghu Luoxi. Linghu Luoxi kept backing away, "Help! Someone is trying to poison me."
The man pressed forward, and Linghu Luoxi raised her hand to stop him. The man stopped and handed over the medicine. Linghu Luoxi, with a bitter face, slowly moved closer, and slipped away while the man wasn't paying attention.
The woman raised her hand expressionlessly, and Linghu Luoxi was immediately grabbed by the collar by an invisible force. Linghu Luoxi struggled in vain, dejected, "Okay, okay, I'll drink it." She took the medicine, gulped it down, and her face drooped instantly.
The woman expressionlessly took out the candied fruit, and Linghu Luoxi hurriedly put it in her mouth to relieve the bitterness. Her brows gradually relaxed, and she looked the man up and down. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, "Are you the nine snakes that almost crushed me into a meat pie in that forest?"
Qing Jue nodded slightly. The woman walked over to the table, sat down and sipped her tea. Her voice was cold and clear, "I'll send you back in a few days. You should stay out of the spotlight for now."
Time flew by, and a day passed. The disciples finally woke up one after another, but they didn't know Linghu Luoxi had disappeared. Shangguan Yi suddenly felt a splitting headache, and leaned against the headboard, pinching his brows. Qin Ling saw Shangguan Yi wake up and asked calmly, "Awake?"
Shangguan Yi looked around, confused. "Aren't we in the secret realm? Why are we back?"
"Linghu Luoxi has been possessed by a demon."
"ah?"
"She wanted to tie you up at that time, so what happened to you there? Why did she become possessed?" Qin Ling said seriously.
Shangguan Yi was also shaken: "She is possessed by a demon? She became a demon and didn't take us with her. I want to become a demon too and make her my subordinate."
Seeing that Shangguan Yi was silent for a long time, Qin Ling thought that he was finding it hard to accept, so he stood up, waved his sleeves, told him to "have a good rest", and turned to leave.
Linghu Luoxi disguised herself and took Qingjue for a stroll along the streets. The street was overflowing with goods, especially the weapons shops, which were doing brisk business. A female cultivator paid with spirit stones and squeezed out of the shop.
"With these magical instruments, I will definitely be able to punish evil and promote good, and catch that demon."
Linghu Luoxi pulled up his bamboo hat and walked towards the female cultivator. "Excuse me, fellow Taoist, what has happened recently?"
"Oh, haven't you heard? A traitor has appeared in one of the five major sects. She has actually been possessed by a demon. I have dreamed of eliminating evil and promoting good since I was a child, but I have always been looked down upon by others. So this time I must catch that bad guy and prove my strength."
Linghu Luoxi continued, "Then do you know the name of the person who was possessed by the demon?"
The female cultivator thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "It seems to be called... Linghu Weak Mind."
“…”
Seeing the other party remain silent, the female cultivator waved her hand. Linghu Luoxi smiled bitterly, "Is there a possibility? I'm not mentally retarded, I'm Luoxi."
"What?! She actually has the same name as the person I like?! My role model is called Linghu Luoxi. She is in the Hanqing Sect. She is really amazing."
Linghu Luoxi raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "Oh, really? You haven't seen her, how do you know if she is powerful or not?"
The female cultivator was furious. "No, I once witnessed their secret realm trial. I still remember that line: 'Luo Xi's path of stardust and dream flowers, who can know who can cross it?' And she's incredibly powerful. She'd stab someone in public..."
"Hey, hey, hey! This is unacceptable." Linghu Luoxi interrupted quickly.
“Puff!”
The two turned around, Qing Jue turned his head away, unable to suppress the corner of his mouth. Linghu Luoxi nudged Qing Jue's arm, and Qing Jue pursed his lips, his mind also erratic. The female cultivator waved, "I'm leaving first, bye."
Linghu Luoxi also waved back, a smile on her face, and continued forward. Looking back, she saw Qingjue standing there motionless. "What's wrong?"
"Is what she said true?"
"..." Linghu Luoxi broke through his defense, "Get out!" He covered his ears and walked forward without looking back.
Suddenly, a dozen monks in snow-patterned robes swarmed the alleyway, their disciple orders dangling from their waists clinking. Linghu Luoxi pressed her back against the damp brick wall as they grabbed each passerby's throat for inspection. This wasn't a search; it was clearly an arrest for a wanted criminal.
"Let's go." Qing Jue suddenly grabbed Linghu Luoxi's wrist.
The group of disciples were about to search over. Disciples from the five sects were closing in from all sides, their snow-white sword lights weaving a net through the streets and alleys. Seeing disciples from all directions approaching, Qing Jue grabbed Linghu Luoxi and hid in the inn.
"Did you find it?"
"No. How about we go in and search?"
"Okay, you search over there and I'll search this side."
Several people began to search one by one. The demon who had infiltrated the team brought a few people into the inn, opened the door, and searched one by one. Linghu Luoxi pushed open the window, and her pupils shrank suddenly. There was a whole team of crossbow-wielding disciples guarding downstairs. "What should we do now?"
"Da, da, da."
The footsteps grew closer, and the demon slowly walked towards their guest room. Linghu Luoxi's breathing became lighter, and only the demon's footsteps continued to approach the footsteps. The footsteps stopped in front of the door. Through the crack in the door, Linghu Luoxi saw the pair of black boots.
“Squeak—”
The moment the door opened, Qing Jue quickly covered Linghu Luoxi's mouth and nose. The demon cultivator looked around, his expression changed, and his eyes fixed on Linghu Luoxi. Linghu Luoxi didn't dare to breathe. The demon cultivator slowly walked towards Linghu Luoxi, and Qing Jue carefully moved Linghu Luoxi aside.
The demon cultivator walked over to the open window and pounded on it fiercely, "Damn it! She escaped."
The demon cultivator walked out of the room again, and when he heard the footsteps fade away, Qing Jue let go of Linghu Luoxi, who then remembered that she was a cultivator.
“Swish——”
The demon cultivator suddenly turned around and attacked. Linghu Luoxi was terrified and her eyes almost popped out of her head. "Damn it! The supporting character has a brain! Is God trying to kill me?"
The demon cultivator chuckled and, without further ado, whipped out his machete and slashed at her. Linghu Luoxi, startled, dodged quickly. Qing Jue timed his escape, preparing for the perfect moment. With the machete within a centimeter of his neck, Qing Jue used the teleportation array to teleport away.
Even after escaping danger, Linghu Luoxi was still nervous and didn't dare to relax. Because... "You abandoned me!"
Linghu Luoxi fell to the ground. The demon cultivator gripped the knife tightly with both hands and stabbed hard. Linghu Luoxi blocked it with the blade of the sword, and the two of them were in a stalemate. Linghu Luoxi's heart was in her throat. "Before I die, let me die with a clear conscience! Tell me, what do you want to do? Why are you doing this?"
Linghu Luoxi thought that in a normal novel, the villain would say a lot of nonsense before killing the protagonist, and then be killed by the protagonist. The demon cultivator didn't say anything, just tried to plunge the knife into Linghu Luoxi's heart.
Linghu Luoxi felt so sad that she couldn't even cry: I almost forgot that I'm not the protagonist.
Linghu Luoxi gradually lost strength and wanted to hold out until rescue came. However, the demon cultivator did not follow the routine. He continued to hold the knife in one hand and pulled out a dagger from his waist with the other.
Just as he was about to stab, Linghu Luoxi shrank downwards and quickly escaped from below, but a bloody streak slid down his face. He wanted to wait for rescue but remembered that there was no one around him, so he could only rely on himself to fight his way out.
"If I fight hard, I might survive. But... why are there three demon cultivators?"
Linghu Luoxi watched with a nagging headache as the two demon cultivators appeared out of nowhere. Just as the three were about to plunge their swords into him, Linghu Luoxi closed his eyes. Instantly, a flash of white light passed. Linghu Luoxi pulled the three into his domain. Actually, he had discovered his own domain by accident when he was poisoned, but it seemed the poison was too deep, and it had mutated.
The demon cultivator stared at Linghu Luoxi warily. It was as if a thin layer of mist rose in the sky, with clouds floating around. One cloud floated gently in front of the demon cultivator. A nearby demon cultivator used his sword to pick it away, but the moment the sword touched the cloud, he felt an electric shock.
"I tell you, this is my territory. If you dare to act rashly, don't blame me for being rude." Linghu Luoxi shouted.
A demon cultivator, incredibly fast, nimbly dodged the clouds and thrust his sword forward. Linghu Luoxi dodged sideways, hiding within them. The mist around them thickened. The demon cultivators unleashed demonic energy, and the white clouds, sensing danger, gradually transformed into dark clouds. The dark clouds drifted toward the three of them, unleashing lightning.
Linghu Luoxi poked his head out from the clouds and threw the little sun in his hand. With an explosion, he successfully knocked down the three people. At the last moment before disappearing, the demon cultivator quietly let his demonic energy hide in Linghu Luoxi.
On the other side, Ruoruo seemed to sense something, her nails digging deep into her flesh, her brow furrowed so tightly that it could kill a fly. She used a sound transmission talisman to send a message to Yi Xiaoxiao and the others, who immediately went to steal the magical artifact.
Bamboo leaves gently swayed in the back garden as the disciples discussed intensely. Just then, a familiar voice echoed from not far away.
"Long time no see~"
Everyone looked back and saw Su Yao approaching with a sneer. Chu Yinheng and the others were the first to draw their swords. Su Yao was not afraid at all. She approached the crowd, raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "I know where Linghu Luoxi is, but you must agree to one condition of mine."
"You...you are a bad guy." Shangguan Yi said.
Chi An felt something was amiss, and a flash of inspiration struck him. Instead of attacking directly, he said coldly, "Fellow Daoist Su, you came here as soon as Linghu Luoxi disappeared. Did you ask Linghu Luoxi to take her away? And then the other way around..."
"That's not right. I didn't take her away. But I know where he is, so have you thought about it? Do you want to change her or not?" Su Yao interrupted.
The system couldn't help but complain, "Host, you have become bad~"
Chi An raised the corner of his mouth slightly, then quickly suppressed it and said lightly: "Really? You came here alone?"
[Wow, she definitely can't guess that you, the host, didn't come here alone?]
"Of course it's one person!"
"Oh? Are you sure?"
Su Yao was a little impatient. "Stop talking nonsense. Are you going to give it to me or not?"
Chi An suddenly put the sword on Su Yao's neck and said, "Friend Su, if you came alone, could I kill you?"
Su Yao sneered, "Come out!"
