A New Villainess

Not long after Xiao Yu arrived at the Sect Affairs Hall, someone from the hall came to meet him.

A young girl with twin ponytails draped over her head looked at the waiting Xiao Yu in confusion. "Are you the First-Rank Alchemist Master mentioned?"

Xiao Yu cupped his fists and bowed. "That would be me. May I ask what guidance this senior sister has for me?"

She smiled faintly. "Guidance is too much. Master is setting up a defensive formation and will be here shortly! I am Master's second disciple, Lü Ling'er! Third Layer of Qi Refinement!"

Xiao Yu cupped his fists again. "Greetings, Senior Sister Lü..."

Lü Ling'er chuckled softly. "Normally, Master does not accept male disciples. You must have something extraordinary about you. Hehe, I look forward to your guidance in the future!"

Xiao Yu kept his gaze straight ahead. "Senior Sister flatters me."

Dressed in a long pink gown, Lü Ling'er idly played with a short blade in one hand as she sized Xiao Yu up and down.

A faint smile played on her lips, though no one knew what she was thinking.

At the same time, Xiao Yu was observing her. This female cultivator was rather similar to Huang Xiang.

With pearly teeth and bright eyes, her smile was sweet and charming. She was like a mountain spring, clear and lively.

Her temples were threaded with silky hair that lightly brushed her cheeks, revealing a few hints of innocent charm beneath her playful cuteness.

Her figure was light and graceful, her steps drifting like flowing clouds. Every turn she made seemed to scatter flower petals through the air, refreshing the heart and delighting the mind.

Her voice was crisp and pleasant, like an oriole leaving the valley, making one unable to resist listening.

She had the feeling of a lively young girl, and the system had not issued any judgment.

Perhaps she was the same kind of person as Zhang Ziling?

The Hehuan Sect actually had women of decent character?

How strange.

The righteous Bai Yue looked like an immortal fairy. If Hua Lian had not told him otherwise, he never would have imagined that thousands of mortals had died at Bai Yue's hands.

Here, one truly could not judge people by their appearance.

Just as Xiao Yu was pondering this, another man and woman entered the Sect Affairs Hall.

Before the woman had even stepped inside, she raised her voice and spoke with a provocative expression. "Oh my~~~!"

"Isn't this Junior Sister Ling'er? You came over from Demon Island too? How dare someone at the early stage of Qi Refinement come to the front lines? Aren't you just causing trouble for Master?"

The woman's tone was sickeningly affected, leaving Xiao Yu with a sour, prickling sensation.

His entire body shuddered.

Just then, the man following behind the woman also spoke. "Haha, I was wondering what Junior Sister Ling'er was doing here. So she was looking for a man?"

"This is killing me. She actually found someone at Qi Refining, First Layer? Hahahaha!!!"

The woman waved a palm-leaf fan in her hand, smiling like a blooming flower with a trace of mockery in her eyes. "I heard Master came to the branch recently because she wanted to take in a First-Rank Alchemist as her third disciple. I thought he would be incredibly capable, but he is just a piece of trash who has only stepped into Qi Refining, First Layer!"

"Has Master truly run out of people? Why is she accepting just anyone?"

Lü Ling'er's eyes widened at once. "Senior Sister Wang, don't speak so harshly. Junior Brother Xiao is an Alchemist, after all! You know that many Alchemists have no time to cultivate, so low cultivation is quite common!"

"Master was driven to the front lines by those elders in the sect and urgently needs help. Instead of helping Master shoulder her burdens, why are you bullying a newly arrived junior brother?"

Suddenly!

The woman strode forward and slapped Lü Ling'er across the face.

Caught off guard, Lü Ling'er covered her reddened cheek in a daze. "You..."

The woman looked displeased as she waved her fan with one hand. "After not seeing each other for so many days, this is how you speak to your senior sister? You have no manners at all! What are you supposed to be?!"

Xiao Yu's expression darkened as he saw that she was at the Fourth Layer of Qi Refining.

The man behind her was also at Qi Refining, Fifth Layer. One look was enough to tell he was the woman's lover.

Just as he was thinking, the system notification sounded again.

[New Villainess Detected! Please judge her as soon as possible!]

[Name] Wang Mei

[Age] 37

[Cultivation] Fourth Layer of Qi Refining

[Appearance] Beauty Score: 93, Height: 168 cm, Weight: 47.5 kg

[Aptitude] Metal-Wood Dual Spiritual Root

[Personality] Vicious as a snake and scorpion, jealous of every woman more beautiful than herself, and obsessed with profit.

[Background] First disciple of Zhang Ziling of the Hehuan Sect

[Evil Deeds] Cultivates evil arts. Has murdered a total of nineteen children, nourishing her youth with virgin blood.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu was delighted.

A job had arrived!

Looking at Wang Mei's seductive figure, he immediately studied her from the corner of his eye.

This woman had plenty of flavor. Her aura was entirely different from righteous women like Bai Yue and Hua Lian's. At a glance, she was clearly a venomous snake of a woman.

Her body was full and lush, with broad shoulders and a slim waist. When she moved, she swayed like a willow dancing in the wind!

Her breasts rose like jade mountains, while her body was round and soft, brimming with sensual flesh.

A wanton air seeped from her bones.

She even cultivated evil arts in secret? She did not spare even children. This woman had truly lost all conscience.

As Xiao Yu watched, the man beside Wang Mei also turned his gaze toward him.

Upon seeing Xiao Yu's cold, stern face, he immediately shouted in a frosty voice, "The disciples of this branch truly have no rules at all! You saw me, Zhao Gang, yet you do not know to salute?"

"You over there, what is your name? I'm talking to you!!! What are you staring at?"

"Playing dead?"

Seeing this, Lü Ling'er hurriedly walked in front of Xiao Yu and shouted, "Zhao Gang, watch your tone. He is my master's Alchemist. What kind of attitude is that?"

Zhao Gang grinned at once. "Hehe, so he really is Junior Sister Lü's wild man. Looks like you have been holding it in too long! You even agreed to someone at Qi Refining, First Layer?"

Wang Mei shot a sidelong glance at the silent Xiao Yu and coldly called out, "What? Do you think that just because you can make pills, you do not have to salute me? I'll count to three. If you still refuse to know your place, you will not be leaving today!"

Xiao Yu gave a cold laugh. Seeing Zhang Ziling slowly approaching from afar, he immediately came up with an idea.

He staggered and fell before Wang Mei, crying out, "Spare me, Senior Sister!!! I will never dare again! I was wrong... This junior brother was wrong... Don't kill me..."

Everyone present was stunned.

Wang Mei merely stared at Xiao Yu, who was tugging at her skirt. What was this thing doing?

Lü Ling'er could not recover for a long while. Why had things suddenly...

Xiao Yu suddenly raised his voice again and wailed, "It was all this junior brother's fault! In our branch, we usually do not salute senior brothers and sisters with higher cultivation... Today, I offended Senior Sister. I beg Senior Sister not to kill me... I am willing to hand over all the pills from my alchemy room to Senior Sister Wang Mei and Senior Brother Zhao Gang!!!"

Then he took out two bottles of pills.

All the nearby disciples of the Hehuan Sect looked over.

A crowd began whispering among themselves.

"What is going on?"

"No idea... It seems that the First-Rank Alchemist did not salute Wang Mei, and Wang Mei wants to kill him?"

"Did this newly arrived Wang Mei come here looking for trouble? How dare she demand someone else's pills?"

For a time, more and more people filled the Sect Affairs Hall.

Zhang Ziling watched from the rear, her expression growing increasingly grim.

When Zhao Gang saw so many people suddenly arriving, he became somewhat embarrassed and hurriedly roared at Xiao Yu, "You... What nonsense are you spouting? Who wants your pil—"

Before he could finish, Xiao Yu wailed again, "Aaaahhh! Don't kill me, don't kill me!!!" His voice cracked.

"I really did not see you kissing Senior Sister Wang in the back... I will never dare again!"

Behind him, Lü Ling'er was already laughing so hard that she was out of breath. Xiao Yu really knew how to play.

The people around them whispered among themselves.

Looking at Xiao Yu rolling on the ground and crying to high heaven, they all turned to look at the pair.

Unable to contain her anger, Wang Mei looked at Xiao Yu acting on the ground and cursed, "How noisy!! Say another word of nonsense, and I will make sure you cannot eat without carrying the pot away!!!"

"Disciple! Do not be so presumptuous!!!"

Zhang Ziling could no longer stand it. Having only just arrived, she needed to win people over.

Yet Wang Mei had come and immediately caused her trouble?

The moment Wang Mei saw Zhang Ziling, she became furious. "Master, this bastard is slandering me. I never asked for his pills!"

Xiao Yu hurriedly shouted, "Bullshit!!! Do you dare swear upon your Dao heart? You even slapped Senior Sister Lü twice just now. Just because Senior Sister Lü did not notice you arriving, you hit her!!! Everyone, look at Senior Sister Lü's face. Did she hit herself?"

Everyone looked over at his words. Sure enough, there was a large red handprint on Lü Ling'er's face.

Zhao Gang's eyes gleamed like blades as he stared at the person who dared ruin his reputation. He swore that he would make him pay.

Zhang Ziling also saw the slap mark on Lü Ling'er's face, and her brows immediately shot upward. "Get back at once!"

Wang Mei stared at Zhang Ziling in disbelief. What was this? Her master was actually siding with outsiders?

She was her first disciple!!!

Seeing this, Xiao Yu hurriedly stepped forward to shield Lü Ling'er. "Zhao Gang, were you serious when you said just now that you wanted Senior Sister Lü to accompany you for a night? Are you bullying us because you think our branch has no one?"

Lü Ling'er immediately burst out laughing.

Zhao Gang had seen people twist black into white, but he had never seen someone twist white into black. "You are spitting blood at me!!! How could I possibly have designs on Junior Sister Lü?"

Xiao Yu said, "Oh? Then why did you just say that Junior Sister Lü did not salute you? Does that mean that in our branch, anyone with lower cultivation than you must salute you, or you will teach them a lesson?"

"You said it yourself just now, did you not? You said our branch had no rules? Do you dare claim you did not? Do you dare swear upon your Dao heart?"

Zhao Gang certainly did not dare swear upon his Dao heart. He truly had said that.

When Xiao Yu reached this point, everyone around them whose cultivation had not reached Qi Refining, Fifth Layer glared at Zhao Gang.

Several people in the distance looked furious and immediately cursed, "Fuck your mother! What is so great about Qi Refining, Fifth Layer?"

"Aren't you just an inner disciple who got in through the back door? If your father were not an elder, could you have become an inner disciple?"

"What the hell are you? What is wrong with our branch? Get out already!!!"

"Many of our brothers here do not even have pills to take. What are you supposed to be? How dare you open your mouth like a lion?"

Zhao Gang still wanted to say something, but Zhang Ziling flew into a rage.

Her divine sense spread outward, and Wang Mei and Zhao Gang instantly felt as though they were sitting on pins and needles. Neither dared speak again.

Zhang Ziling had already been worried because the battle situation at the front lines was unfavorable, and she had returned only to encounter this matter.

She coldly shouted, "If I see anyone bullying fellow disciples again, I will not spare them! What kind of conduct is this? You two will copy the sect rules ten times!"

Wang Mei no longer dared argue and could only accept her misfortune.

Looking at Xiao Yu's gloating expression across from her, she memorized his face.

Xiao Yu had clearly memorized Wang Mei as well.

The Judgment Room was about to gain another new member. How dare she speak to him in such a sarcastic, cutting manner?

He was only afraid that she would not come looking for trouble with him.

Zhang Ziling let out a breath and waved her hand impatiently. "Everyone else, withdraw. Xiao Yu, come with me!"
