Reborn as the Novel’s Villain: Cultivation Lost, Female Leads Take Control - Chapter 108

Above Purple Cloud Peak, the sudden phenomenon attracted the attention of countless disciples.

“This can’t be related to Peak Master Xu again, right?”

“Are you dumb? This is obviously Senior Sister Yuan Kouxuan breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm!”

“My goodness, isn’t Senior Sister Yuan just a bit over twenty? Could it be that she’s on track to break Peak Master Xu’s record?”

“Now that you mention it, it’s entirely possible. With her natural affinity for the sword, Senior Sister Yuan might truly surpass her master!”

“If the record is broken, it’ll definitely be a story worth celebrating.”

“I wish I could join Purple Cloud Peak. Does anyone want to team up and apply as a spirit pet?”

Countless disciples gazed at the sword domain phenomenon in the sky, their eyes filled with envy.

After all, on Purple Cloud Peak, even the most ordinary spirit pet—a beaver—could feast on millennium-aged spiritual herbs. How could they not yearn for such a life?

Meanwhile…

At Heavenly Heart Lake

Wrapped in a blanket and quietly sobbing, Xue Jinli peeked at the purple and azure beams in the sky. Her voice was filled with grievance, “Senior Sister has Master’s Purple Sky Sword.”

“Qing’er has Master himself.”

“But I… I have nothing!”

“Waaah!”

Tightening her blanket around her, Xue Jinli cried even harder.

At the Peachwood Pavilion

Situ Qingqing gazed at the sky, her face filled with frustration.

“It’s all Third Senior Sister’s fault. She wasted so much of my cultivation time by squandering her opportunities!”

“And now look! Senior Sister Yuan has broken through to the Nascent Soul realm. She’s even more formidable now!”

“At this rate, how will I ever bully Master in public?”

“No! I can’t give up. I need to go into seclusion and break through to the Nascent Soul realm myself!”

Resolute, Situ Qingqing quickly gathered the spiritual herbs she had obtained from the Enlightenment Cave and began her closed-door cultivation with undivided focus.

At Floating Cloud Pavilion

Ruan Yuer stared unblinkingly at the sword domain phenomenon above.

“Senior Sister Yuan broke through to Nascent Soul. She’s incredible!”

The voice deep within her mind suddenly piped up:

“Impressive, isn’t she? She’s also a ‘good disciple.’ You know what that means, right?”

“I do,” Ruan Yuer replied firmly. “Which is why I’m going into seclusion too. I won’t emerge until I break through to the Nascent Soul realm!”

Clenching her fists, a determined glint appeared in her soft, delicate eyes.

“Senior Sister, I’ll prove who the true ‘best disciple’ of Purple Cloud Peak is!”

At Listen-to-the-Wind Pavilion

Liu Beifeng had just exited seclusion when she witnessed Yuan Kouxuan’s breakthrough. Her exhaustion instantly vanished, replaced by fiery determination.

“Master gave me so many resources, yet I’ve only reached the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment realm. I’ve let him down!”

“I must break through to Core Formation and surprise Master!”

“You’ve got this, Beifeng!”

Puffing out her chest, she clenched her fists in encouragement before heading back into her training chamber to cultivate diligently.

At Yangyuan Residence

A black-robed figure had just arrived when a small, porcelain-like girl with short legs came running toward him.

“Master, I broke through to the Nascent Soul realm!”

The tiny figure leapt into Xu Yang’s arms, her soft voice brimming with excitement.

Xu Yang glanced at the petite, doll-like Nascent Soul in his embrace and chuckled warmly.

“My Xuan’er is amazing!”

With that, he carried the Nascent Soul into Yangyuan Residence.

Inside, Yuan Kouxuan was still enveloped by swirling sword qi. Her entire being exuded an unparalleled sharpness, like an unsheathed divine blade ready to pierce the heavens.

Terrifying sword domains took shape around her, the air vibrating with a constant, resonant hum of sword cries.

Suddenly, her eyes snapped open, revealing a dazzling intertwining of countless sword intents. The brilliance in her gaze gradually faded as she reined in her power.

When her eyes landed on Xu Yang holding her Nascent Soul, a strange feeling arose in her heart—it felt like they were a family of three.

‘If we had a child, I wonder… would it take after Master more or me?’

Blushing at her own thoughts, Yuan Kouxuan’s cheeks turned as red as a ripe apple.

“Master, what brings you here?” she asked softly, her tone as gentle as a spring breeze.

“How could I not come to celebrate my Xuan’er breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm?” Xu Yang replied, pulling out a heaven-ranked sword technique manual and handing it to her.

“Master, I haven’t fully mastered the techniques you gave me earlier. I—”

“Take it,” Xu Yang interrupted. “It’s always good to learn more. Consider it my congratulations.”

“Thank you, Master. I won’t let you down. I’ll master every technique you’ve taught me!” Yuan Kouxuan said, her eyes shining with determination.

“There’s no need to push yourself. Practice what you like. If you don’t enjoy it, then don’t bother. I have plenty more sword techniques for you to choose from.”

With that, Xu Yang gently returned her Nascent Soul to her.

“Xuan’er, remember this—while the Nascent Soul is incredibly powerful, it’s also fragile. Never let it leave your body during a fight.”

“Yes, Master,” she nodded solemnly, retracting her Nascent Soul into her dantian. Then, she stepped forward and clung to Xu Yang’s arm, pulling him to sit beside her on the bed.

“Master, you don’t know how much I missed you while I was in seclusion. I kept thinking that if I didn’t break through, I couldn’t help you detoxify the poison. That’s the only reason I suppressed my longing for you.”

Looking into her tearful eyes, Xu Yang’s smile grew tender.

“I missed you too, Xuan’er.”

“Then let’s detoxify—”

“No rush. I came to congratulate you, but also to discuss something important.”

“Master, detoxification is critical. If not handled properly, it could lead to qi deviation. Time is of the essence—”

“Xuan’er, let’s not dwell on that. Jiang’s family is hosting a Heaven’s Chosen Gathering in White Emperor City, and I plan to bring you along to observe the younger generation.”

“Just me?”

“Yes. You’re the one I trust most.”

“Master… do you prefer boys or girls?”

“Why do you ask that all of a sudden?”

“Just curious.”

“I like both equally.”

“What about twins? Wouldn’t that be… perfect?”

“Perfect how?”

“Perfectly challenging… but don’t worry, I’ll do my best!”
