Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

Chapter 149. Becoming Cultivation Partners? The Spiritual-Roots-Excavated Kind (1)



“How’s the situation?”

“Everything is normal, Miss Shen.”

“No suspicions?”

“Rest assured, Miss Shen. This is a barren star with no resources. No one would sneak here. Besides, aren’t there all sorts of terrifying creatures outside? If it weren’t for Miss Shen’s help, we couldn’t even get out ourselves.” As he said this, a certain doctor looked pitiful. “I haven’t been home in so long.”

“Don’t rush,” Shen Wan rested her chin on her hand, smiling. “How could you get what you want without paying a price? Besides, you’re an old bachelor with no wife or kids. Here, you’re well-fed and cared for. If you really went home, who’d cook for you with a cold stove? What, do you want to gnaw on nutrient paste? I doubt you could stomach it now.”

The doctor’s face soured. “It’s all because the food here is too delicious.”

“Alright, enough of that. I’m here to bring you a photo. After this one, there’s only one left.”

Shen Wan took out a photo and handed it to the doctor. “Here’s the latest. Merge it in for me.”

The doctor sighed. “That face is already perfect. Isn’t Miss Shen being too demanding?”

“I think it’s about right too, but that old woman has high standards,” Shen Wan sighed. “If she’s not satisfied, her temper flares up and she’s hard to please. She insists on being the most beautiful in the universe, no worse than before. You understand, right?”

“No problem. But Miss Shen, can we discuss something?”

“Go ahead.”

“When this experiment is over, could you let me take a chef with me? Don’t worry, I may not have other talents, but I can make money. I definitely won’t mistreat the chef.”

“If any of them are willing to go with you, you can take them. I won’t force them to stay.”

Hearing this, the doctor was overjoyed. “Then Miss Shen, would you like to take a look?” He knew that every time Shen Wan returned, she would check on his perfect experimental product.

“Not this time. There’s just a bit left. I’ll look when it’s complete. Time is tight, I must go. Doctor, work hard. When the experiment is done, I’ll give you a bottle of longevity pills. One pill gives you a hundred years. You’ll have countless years to soak in your lab without worrying about kicking the bucket.”

The doctor thought: Hmph, actually, I’m most interested in this experiment, not those longevity pills. Well, if I live longer, I can do many more interesting experiments.

A bottle of longevity pills? He could eat half and use half for experiments. Delightful.

……

When Shen Wan regained consciousness after re-entering the small world, she felt intense pain in her dantian area. Looking down, she indeed found the area a bloody mess.

Knowing the plot, she understood her spiritual root had been excavated.

She quickly surveyed her surroundings. Mist filled the air, various fragrances tickling her nose. She was lying beside a spirit spring. A small sip of the nearby spring made her feel refreshed.

[188: “Wan Wan, seems we arrived a bit late. If we’d been earlier, your spiritual root wouldn’t have been dug out. Quickly get into the spirit spring to heal. Once you’re better, we’ll deal with that scumbag. By the way, what cheat did you prepare this time?”]

He wouldn’t believe Wan Wan didn’t use cheats even if you killed him.

And he was looking forward to it. What’s wrong with cheating to punish scumbags?

Shen Wan didn’t speak. With her spiritual root excavated, her cultivation had drained away. Not only did she lack strength, but the intense pain could drive one mad.

What had she done this for?

[188: “Wan Wan, open your mouth. Painkiller.”]

Shen Wan quickly opened her mouth. A painkiller was tossed in, instantly relieving her pain. She slowly moved into the spirit spring, her body immediately beginning to heal.

According to the original plot, after absorbing all the spirit spring, she would find a cultivation manual at the bottom, left by a cultivation world bigshot many years ago.

Reportedly, this bigshot once had his premium spiritual root excavated and ended up in this valley. Beneath the valley was a unique vitality. Back then, the spirit spring was a spirit lake, surrounded by countless spirit herbs thousands of years old.

But with his spiritual root excavated, the bigshot couldn’t cultivate. Possessing countless treasures he couldn’t use was unbearable. Moreover, he had revenge to take and was unwilling to die like this.

So the bigshot decided to create a cultivation method that didn’t require a spiritual root. He failed tens of thousands of times. Each time he cultivated to the middle stage and encountered problems, he would nullify his cultivation and start over.

After all, his basic method was to break down and rebuild, so nullifying his cultivation was just starting over, with no other effects.

He failed tens of thousands of times, nullifying his cultivation tens of thousands of times in between. Finally, the bigshot created a method of breaking down and rebuilding that only those with excavated spiritual roots could cultivate, and he succeeded in cultivating it.

However, the spirit lake had been reduced to this small spring by the bigshot’s abuse, and countless spirit herbs had been exhausted.

Before leaving, the bigshot left the spirit spring and his method beneath it. He also set a restriction in the spring: when someone with good talent like him, whose spiritual root had been excavated, appeared and fell into the spring, they would passively absorb the spring to remodel their body.

Once the body was remodeled, they would discover the method beneath the spring.

Those without excavated spiritual roots or insufficient talent couldn’t possibly fall into this place. Perhaps the bigshot knew that if a useless person got his method, they’d likely remain useless and waste it.

But the bigshot hadn’t anticipated that his successor would be a love-brained fool. Even with such a fortuitous encounter, able to become extraordinary, she persisted in entangling with a worthless man, suffering repeated harm, and ultimately ending up with that trash.

Shen Wan recalled the mid-story plot. That worthless man, the male lead Yin Jue, learned she had obtained a supreme cultivation manual. For his white moonlight cousin, he shamelessly asked her for the method, saying if he gave it to his cousin, he’d have no more entanglements with her and would be with Shen Wan wholeheartedly.

She actually believed him, though she was cautious enough to only give half the manual.

The reason for wanting this method was that the trash discovered the spiritual root excavated from her was somewhat incompatible with his white moonlight cousin, causing his cousin great pain when cultivating, breaking out in cold sweat with every attempt to circulate her energy.

After the white moonlight cousin got the method, she came to gloat, saying the trash had only approached the original host for the manual for her sake. The original host left in anger. Yet in her heart, she still couldn’t forget that man.

Later, when that worthless man got into trouble, his precious cousin he had held in his palm actually changed her heart. Since learning his cultivation couldn’t advance further, the cousin grew increasingly distant, eventually abandoning him, leaving him to be bullied.

When he hit rock bottom, he encountered the original host again. She took him in and cared for him. The worthless man finally had an epiphany, realizing he actually loved the original host, and she was the only one who truly cared for him in this world.

The two got together and faced many challenges. The originally disheartened original host chose to forgive him.

She even helped him excavate a spiritual root and passed on the complete method. The two cultivated lovingly together. When they succeeded, they returned for revenge, then went into seclusion, finally ascending to the immortal realm hand in hand.

[188: “Wan Wan, the plot is so cliché. How did this author survive? Wasn’t she beaten up by someone in a mecha? To have such a happy ending is really something. Is this female lead an indestructible cockroach?”]

“Weren’t there many people cursing her?”

[188: “Even so, they actually finished reading it. Aren’t they just seeking abuse? If it were me, when the original host went back to being a lap dog, I wouldn’t read anymore.”]

“That’s right. After all, our Brother 8 is a system with normal values, knowing how to protect himself. Naturally, he wouldn’t make the same choices as the female lead in the plot.”

188 didn’t know what to say. Lately, he was being praised so often, he felt a bit shy.

Wan Wan was too much. Praising a system like this once a day was enough. Saying it more than three times a day would make him float away.

As Shen Wan chatted with 188, she fell asleep. When she woke, her body had completely absorbed the spirit spring. She touched her cheeks, feeling smooth and tender. This spirit spring even had a beautifying effect. Checking her body, she found her injuries healed with no trace of pain.

Looking down at the bottom of the spring, she indeed found a box beneath her bottom.

Out of respect for this cultivation bigshot, she stood up and bowed three times. After all, she was about to take someone else’s things. A little politeness couldn’t hurt.

Although the original host hadn’t done this, it didn’t prevent her from handling it this way. Thinking about it, it was normal. The original host was in a daze at the time and didn’t know the plot. Seeing the item, she would naturally hesitate before choosing to open it.

To Shen Wan’s surprise, after she finished bowing, the box opened by itself. Then a jade slip flew out and entered her forehead.

Shen Wan touched her forehead, bewildered. “This wasn’t in the plot, was it?”

[188: “I just quickly skimmed through it. It wasn’t.”]

Shen Wan nodded, looking at the still-full box. Finally, she cupped her hands and said, “Bigshot, although I don’t know what you’ve given me, thank you very much.” Then she bowed three more times.

“The things inside are the same as in the plot: a storage ring, a cultivation manual, and a few bottles of spirit pills. Nothing’s missing, so why did a jade slip suddenly appear?”

It was 188 who reminded Shen Wan to check the contents of the jade slip. Shen Wan found a place to sit cross-legged, closed her eyes, and began to browse the jade slip. This look took three months. Even with her advanced brain, she was dizzy after reading the contents of the jade slip. Of course, she was shocked in her heart.

[188 curiously asked, “Wan Wan, what’s in the jade slip? It must be something very important, otherwise that bigshot wouldn’t have given it to you this way.”]

“Inside is the bigshot’s journey of creating the method. He failed tens of thousands of times. The process is truly inspiring and admirable. From initially nullifying his cultivation once a day, to later once a month or year, he stayed here for who knows how many years. You asked if there’s a lot of content? My head is still spinning.”

[188: “A true bigshot.”] 188 was a bit in awe. The perseverance of such a person was truly terrifying. Not giving this jade slip to the original host must have been his own consideration.

“At the end, I obtained another method,” Shen Wan was shocked by this method. She felt she could save a lot of money. “It turns out that over so many years, he created two methods in total. One is the supreme method that can only be cultivated without a spiritual root, and the other is…”

188’s appetite was whetted, urging Shen Wan to quickly tell him what method it was.

“A method to regenerate spiritual roots.” Shen Wan marveled, “That is, cultivating this method can plant spiritual roots in the dantian. Cultivating both methods simultaneously allows one to increase strength while producing spiritual roots. Oh right, it’s just as you might not imagine – when the spiritual roots mature, they can be dug out and sold.”

188: Can it really be like this??

[188: “Wan Wan, are you sure?”]

“Of course. The bigshot had tried before. He initially created the spiritual root regeneration method, but unexpectedly grew all five elemental spiritual roots. With no choice, he could only dig them out and cultivate again. Maybe out of boredom, or finding it interesting, he spent half his time on cultivating spiritual roots, finally creating this method that grows premium spiritual roots when cultivated.

I suspect he later lost interest, or because he had his own spiritual root dug out, he chose to only cultivate that one supreme method.

The reason he didn’t give this jade slip to the original host was probably because the bigshot had some sensing ability. After all, being a bigshot, he wouldn’t be stupid.

Thinking about it this way, the bigshot’s eye for talent was quite good, actually taking a liking to me. I definitely won’t disappoint him.”

“Why not take him as a master?”

Under 188’s dumbfounded observation, Shen Wan actually performed a very formal discipleship ceremony, going through the process all by herself.

Shen Wan didn’t rush to leave this place, but chose to cultivate. She chose to cultivate both methods simultaneously. As mentioned earlier, the method that could cultivate spiritual roots saved her a large sum of money.

[188: “So, you were planning to buy spiritual roots in bulk from the mall before?”]

“That’s right.”

Shen Wan stroked a green spiritual root in her hand, her face full of smiles. “I didn’t expect that when the spiritual root matures, it automatically detaches. You can take it out with your consciousness, not painful at all.”

188: Speechless. Even this works. Heaven is helping Wan Wan cheat.

Because she previously had a premium wood spiritual root, the first mature spiritual root was a premium wood spiritual root. Pinching the slightly glowing spiritual root, she put it in a jade box and chose to continue cultivating.

Under 188’s shocked observation, Shen Wan stayed in this valley, frantically cultivating and producing spiritual roots. Now she had all kinds of spiritual roots, all premium quality.

[188: “Wan Wan, are you going to sell the spiritual roots for money? That’s right, in this kind of world, I probably can’t help you make money.”]

“I have my own uses for them. Don’t worry about it.”

188 wasn’t worried at all. His Wan Wan was capable. Would she suffer losses?

Shen Wan felt the spiritual roots weren’t enough and cultivated for another two years, frantically increasing her cultivation and producing spiritual roots.

After all, the original host only went out after five years, so she chose to leave at the same time.

Two years later, Shen Wan left with an unknown number of spiritual roots and powerful cultivation.

However, due to her special method, as long as she didn’t reveal her cultivation, others would think she was just an ordinary person.

She wore a tender green dress, her fair little face radiating a smile, causing passersby to turn and look several times.

She went to a place where a mysterious secret realm had just opened. Both righteous cultivators and demonic cultivators were converging on that location. The place where the secret realm opened was on an island.

Shen Wan arrived at the seaside, watching those cultivators either riding their own magical treasures or stepping on flying swords to cross. If a cultivator went to explore treasures on the island without riding a magical treasure or stepping on a flying sword, but sat in an ordinary person’s small boat, they would surely be ridiculed.

Moreover, an ordinary person’s small boat couldn’t reach the island at all. Even if it could, it would probably be very slow.

Shen Wan squatted by the seaside, planning to wait for a luxurious treasure ship and hitch a ride.

After squatting for two hours, sudden exclamations erupted around her. She quickly looked over. Only to see an extremely luxurious large treasure ship suddenly appear on the sea surface.

Those people were probably shocked by this treasure ship.

However, their faces also showed deep wariness.

“Xie Yunfu has come too.”

“Looks like there’ll be a show with this secret realm opening. This Xie Yunfu isn’t easy to deal with.”

“Is this Xie Yunfu crazy? Does she need such a big treasure ship for just one person? Wouldn’t a smaller one do?”

As the crowd discussed, a voice that was neither smiling nor not smiling interrupted them. “If the ship isn’t big, how can I load all the treasures? With the secret realm opening, there must be countless treasures inside. They’re all mine!”

Arrogant!

This was what everyone thought, but remembering she was Xie Yunfu, they could only swallow their mocking words. They couldn’t afford to offend this demonic cultivator.

Xie Yunfu wore a light blue gauze dress, her appearance pretty and carefree. She sat lazily on the edge of the large ship, her bare feet dangling in the air. A beautiful bell adorned her ankle.

Although her feet were very attractive, no one dared to look too closely. They also didn’t dare argue much with Xie Yunfu, quickly taking out their magical treasures, hoping to reach the secret realm opening faster than her.

At this moment, another voice drew their attention back.

“Beautiful big sister, may I hitch a ride on your ship?”

188: He thought changing the words a bit would sound good too, like “Beautiful big sister, may I sleep in your bed?” Anyway, for his Wan Wan, it was about the same. This woman would definitely be Wan Wan’s wife. He had experience with this already.

The crowd only saw a tender young girl actually asking Xie Yunfu for a ride. They looked at her with pity, shaking their heads. Who didn’t know Xie Yunfu had a nasty temper and hated people approaching her? She was the most unpredictable among demonic cultivators.

Xie Yunfu, sitting on the edge of the ship, was about to activate her treasure ship to sail towards the secret realm when Shen Wan’s sudden voice made her pause.

She looked down at Shen Wan from her high position, resting her chin on one hand. Her beautiful eyes held a hint of amusement. The breeze made her gauze skirt flutter, making her look like a fairy. Unfortunately, everyone present knew Xie Yunfu was no fairy, but a demoness no one dared to provoke.

“Little girl, you want to ride my ship? Why should I give you a ride?”

“Beautiful big sister, why not do a good deed?”

The amusement in Xie Yunfu’s eyes didn’t fade. This was interesting. It was the first time she’d encountered someone wanting a free ride like this.

“There’s no such thing as a free lunch. If you want a ride, you need to offer something that moves me.”

“How about me?”

Xie Yunfu didn’t expect the little girl to answer so readily. What did she mean?

“What do you mean?”

Shen Wan stood on tiptoe, as if trying to get closer to Xie Yunfu. “I mean, how about me? I don’t have anything else to offer. I consider myself not bad-looking. The only thing I can offer is myself.”

“I don’t need anyone to serve me.” Xie Yunfu shook her head. “Little girl, go find someone else.”

“Who said I’d serve you?” Shen Wan had already slowly climbed onto the ship and sat down beside Xie Yunfu, shocking everyone. “I mean, I’m offering myself in marriage. To be your wife. Do you want me?”

Xie Yunfu: “……”

The onlookers: “……”

188: Wan Wan has always been shameless. You get used to it.
