Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration) - Chapter 150. Becoming Cultivation Partners? The Spiritual-Roots-Excavated Kind (2)

“Little girl.”

“Yes, beautiful big sister?”

“You’re so shameless. I’ve never seen anyone like you before.”

“I just wanted a ride. Now you’ve seen it, haven’t you? In this vast world, there’s nothing that doesn’t exist.”

Xie Yunfu chuckled, “Truly shameless.”

“If being shameless gets me a ride, why bother with face? Especially on a beautiful big sister’s ship. It’d be a waste not to ride.”

The onlookers thought: Indeed, so shameless. They waited for Xie Yunfu to strike this presumptuous little girl dead with one palm.

However, they were disappointed.

Xie Yunfu did raise her hand, but only to take out a spirit stone and place it in the ship’s socket. Then she activated the treasure ship, which sped away under her control. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared from everyone’s sight, leaving them dumbfounded.

“Is that it? This is very unlike Xie Yunfu.”

“I saw that little girl had no cultivation. I guess Xie Yunfu wants to abandon her on a deserted island to teach her a lesson.”

“Xie Yunfu always punishes people directly with overwhelming force. Would she be so roundabout and boring?”

“So, why did Xie Yunfu spare that little girl?”

“Could it be she has a taste for that?”

Unbeknownst to Xie Yunfu, the crowd behind her was discussing whether she preferred men or women. Some said she must have taken a liking to that tender young girl. Perhaps in the near future, Xie Yunfu would really take a woman as her cultivation partner.

“Do you know what happens to anyone who randomly boards my ship?”

Before Shen Wan could answer, Xie Yunfu said with a faint smile, her words icy cold, “I’d slap them into meat paste with one palm.”

“Do you know why I didn’t slap you into meat paste?”

“Because I’m prettier and cuter than them. You couldn’t bear to slap me into meat paste,” Shen Wan answered without thinking, looking very serious. This made Xie Yunfu suspect her mind wasn’t quite right.

Everyone in the cultivation world feared her, calling her a demoness, a witch, saying she killed without blinking, that she was temperamental and cold-blooded. They weren’t wrong; she was exactly that kind of person. Anyone who dared to provoke her ended up dead.

If one day Xie Yunfu’s existence disappeared from the cultivation world, it would surely be because she died, killed by someone more powerful than her. Unfortunately, in all her years, countless people had tried to kill her, but few succeeded.

Thinking of this, the smile in Xie Yunfu’s eyes grew.

She remained seated on the edge of the ship, letting the treasure ship race on. The sea breeze made her black hair and skirt flutter noisily.

Looking at Xie Yunfu like this, a phrase suddenly flashed through Shen Wan’s mind: She’s as free as the wind, caring for nothing, living recklessly in this world, fearing nothing.

Worthy of being that old woman who could trick her. Every move was so captivating. Of course, soon she would make this old woman lose her freedom, start to care, be unable to act recklessly, and have fears. Thinking of this, she also smiled.

Just as she was thinking, Shen Wan suddenly felt an ice-cold hand grip her slender neck. She glanced up to see Xie Yunfu’s beautiful face staring at her with an ambiguous smile. Her voice fell softly by Shen Wan’s ear, carrying a hint of warmth, “If I wanted to, I could snap your neck with just a light squeeze.”

She was used to seeing the terror, pleading, and wretched expressions in the final moments of those who tried to kill her, before she slapped them dead or snapped their necks. She had never killed such a bold, tender young girl before. The people she killed were always those who wanted to kill her.

Previously, she would at most casually swat someone aside. But now she felt an urge to tease, wanting to see what expression this girl would show in the face of death.

Would she beg for mercy or be afraid? Would she become as wretched as ordinary people, never daring to provoke her again?

However, she really hadn’t expected the answer to be like that.

“Do you want to?”

“Want to snap my neck?”

“I’ve never had my neck snapped before. Since you’re curious, and I’m curious, why don’t you try?”

Even the observing 188 couldn’t bear such a scene. His Wan Wan was truly savage.

He’d bet a nutrient injection that the woman wouldn’t dare to squeeze.

Indeed, Xie Yunfu hadn’t expected Shen Wan to be so fearless of death. Just as she hadn’t expected that, for the first time, she couldn’t bring herself to be ruthless towards a strange woman.

She didn’t want to. She didn’t want to snap her neck, nor did she want to try.

If asked why, she wouldn’t know. She only knew she couldn’t do it, just as she couldn’t drive her off the ship earlier. Perhaps she had gone mad, or found her somewhat interesting and couldn’t bear to kill her.

Maybe there were other reasons. Reasons she was a bit curious to know.

“You’re really not afraid of death.”

“No, I am afraid.”

Xie Yunfu was somewhat surprised. “I didn’t see a hint of fear or panic in your eyes. You still say you’re afraid of death?”

“Because the one holding my neck is a beautiful big sister. You definitely won’t kill me, so I’m not afraid.”

Xie Yunfu’s smile faded. “You mean anyone good-looking won’t kill you?”

“Of course not. Only you won’t kill me. Do you want to kill me?”

Xie Yunfu withdrew her hand, somewhat bored. “I really don’t want to kill you.”

“Well, there you have it. What should I be worried about?”

“But maybe one day, on a whim, I’ll want to slap you dead or snap that tender neck of yours. See if you regret it then, if you panic.”

“That day will never come.”

“The world is unpredictable. Why speak so certainly?”

“I just want to speak certainly. What are you going to do about it?”

“By the time I decide to do something to you, you’ll already be dead.”

“What if you never can do anything to me?”

Xie Yunfu was stumped. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly. “I don’t want a cultivation partner, even if you are somewhat good-looking.”

“Thanks for the compliment. Though I’m not as pretty as you, I’m quite satisfied.” Shen Wan smiled. “As for being cultivation partners, there’s no rush. You don’t want to now, but who knows about the future? Don’t speak so definitively, lest you regret it bitterly later.”

Xie Yunfu didn’t respond. She felt these words were full of traps. She feared nothing in heaven or earth. Since the day she entered the path of demonic cultivation, she had viewed life and death lightly. But now, she lacked the courage to directly deny Shen Wan’s words, to affirm that she would never want a cultivation partner.

Could it be… that she might really change her mind in the future?

Before them stretched an endless sea, with sea beasts often frolicking beneath the surface. But as soon as one poked its head up, her cold glance frightened it away. None dared approach this luxurious treasure ship.

She casually glanced at Shen Wan, only to find Shen Wan looking at her. She quickly averted her gaze.

“It must be lonely for beautiful big sister to cultivate alone. Having a companion would be nice.”

“I’m a demonic cultivator. Even if I were to find a companion, it would be among demonic cultivators. You have no chance.”

“Really, one shouldn’t speak so absolutely.”

“Even if I didn’t choose from demonic cultivators, I wouldn’t choose someone like you with seemingly no cultivation.”

“So you’re looking down on my lack of cultivation? Well, look at this.” Shen Wan struck the sea surface with her palm. As soon as the spiritual energy was released, Xie Yunfu knew Shen Wan was no ordinary person. She had never thought her simple, just spoke casually. “Although my strength isn’t considered powerful, I can certainly protect myself.”

Not powerful enough? This used perhaps three-tenths or four-tenths of her power.

Xie Yunfu watched the churning seawater. Countless sea beasts had been stunned unconscious, while those nearby fled in panic, no longer daring to approach their ship. After this, the people coming later would likely have a much safer journey.

“Anyway, I don’t want a cultivation partner now.”

“No worries. When you do want one, come ask me.”

Xie Yunfu was speechless and stopped talking to Shen Wan. Knowing the other’s strength was no less than her own, she grew increasingly curious. She wondered what cultivation method the other practiced to completely conceal her cultivation level.

“I couldn’t see your cultivation level earlier.”

Perhaps due to the vast, silent sea, and having an interesting person beside her, Xie Yunfu opened up the topic. Asking about someone’s cultivation was taboo among cultivators, but as a demonic cultivator, she didn’t care about such rules. She wanted to ask now, and whether Shen Wan answered was not her concern.

“Because I’m different from ordinary cultivators. My cultivation method is very special.”

Xie Yunfu’s curiosity was piqued. “How special?”

“Whether demonic or righteous cultivators, cultivation is based on spiritual roots. But I’m different. I have no spiritual root, so naturally my cultivation method is different. It’s normal that you can’t see my cultivation level.”

“No spiritual root? As far as I know, everyone has a spiritual root. It’s impossible for someone to have none.”

The observing 188 could barely contain himself. He found that Xie Yunfu was completely led by the nose by his Wan Wan, probably without even realizing it.

Xie Yunfu, do you know what “eating your words” means?

This phrase had been popular for a long time, said to be an ancient saying from the Blue Star era.

“Yes, I originally had one too, a premium wood spiritual root,” Shen Wan’s lips curved. “Later it was dug out by someone. My foundation was destroyed, so naturally I couldn’t continue cultivating with a spiritual root. I had to seek other methods. Fortunately, heaven doesn’t cut off all paths. I was given another chance.”

Even if Shen Wan didn’t explain the details, Xie Yunfu could imagine much of what happened. Having one’s spiritual root dug out and foundation destroyed was a mortal enmity.

“With your current strong cultivation, have you slapped that person who dug out your spiritual root to death?”

“I haven’t had the chance yet. I just finished cultivating and came out. I haven’t heard about outside affairs for a long time and don’t know where that person is.”

Xie Yunfu nodded and suggested, “If you encounter them, just slap them to death. Digging out spiritual roots, destroying foundations, stealing cultivation – these are unforgivable crimes. You must kill them.”

“But my situation is a bit special. I feel like simply killing them doesn’t make up for all the suffering I went through.”

“That’s true. Why not capture them, dig out their spiritual root first, then slap them to death?”

“I don’t want to be that kind of cruel person.”

“Cruel? They were so cruel to you. This is just revenge, it’s justified, not cruel.” Xie Yunfu seemed particularly insistent on this point. “Anyway, you must find a way to make those who harmed you suffer.”

“Thank you for your concern, beautiful little sister. I definitely won’t let them off easy.”

“While we haven’t arrived yet, why don’t we brainstorm some revenge methods? I have various ways to make people die painfully. Want some suggestions? If you need them later, I can even lend you some tricky magical treasures. I guarantee they’ll beg for death but won’t get it.”

188: “……” Is this also okay?
