Chapter 911 - I Became a Villainess and Was Pestered by Beautiful Girls
Tang Xin slowly opened her eyes. Her memory was still lingering on being blown into the sky by a strong gust of wind, spinning 108 consecutive circles before passing out. "My head feels so dizzy, and I still feel a bit queasy..." She held her head and sat up, looking around. A simple wooden hut with no decorations inside. Through the window, she could see a lush green grassland and, in the distance, clouds floating in the sky. Sniff, sniff... A delightful aroma of food ingredients drifted in from outside, stirring up the appetite of the senior sister. Leisurely, the senior sister got up, checked for any injuries, then pushed the door open and stepped outside. "Awake?" On the grass, a woman in her mid-twenties, with a fresh and elegant appearance and long black hair, sat by the bonfire, tending to the medicinal congee in the iron pot. The woman had a slight smile on her face, making Tang Xin feel comfortable in her presence. Tang Xin sensed no hostility from her, nor could she detect any cultivation level. But she recognized that voice. "Senior Sister Xing Hong?" she tentatively inquired. "Awake. Have a bowl of congee first," the woman replied to her. Tang Xin walked over, took a wooden spoon and a bowl, and scooped herself a portion, then began to eat slowly. After swallowing the congee, the senior sister immediately felt the exhaustion dissipate, and she became much more spirited, more so than if she had taken a magical elixir. Knowing this congee was no ordinary food, Tang Xin didn't mind her appearance and quickly finished the porridge in the pot, patting her belly contentedly. "Good appetite." Xing Hong smiled, waved her hand, and gestured for Tang Xin to come and sit beside her. Using her finger, she picked up the rice grains stuck to the senior sister's mouth and fed them to her. "Just not very concerned about appearances," she said, before feeding her the rice grains. It seemed the senior sister didn't like wasting food... Having slept soundly and eaten heartily, Tang Xin had finally regained her vitality. "Thank you, senior sister, for rescuing me. Without you, I would have been captured by the Blood Reverence Hall by now," Tang Xin expressed her gratitude. "No need to be polite," Xing Hong carefully observed her and nodded slightly. "Your state of mind seems stable, and it appears you have made some adjustments before coming here. Alright, let's get straight to it. Speak out your doubts one by one." Senior Sister's directness caught Tang Xin off guard. Given the nature of these high-level seniors, shouldn't there be a test lasting for years before they share everything? "I have too many doubts. I don't know where to start," Tang Xin thought for a moment. "Let's start with something recent. Why did you intervene to save me, senior sister?" "Because I saw that you have an important connection with me," Xing Hong replied. "A connection?" Tang Xin had never met her before, nor had she ever heard of her before coming to the extreme north mountains. So, where exactly did this connection come from? "Have you not guessed?" Xing Hong said. "In this generation, there are several individuals possessing great fortune. Among them, one should have been my future disciple. And you share a significant connection with her." "Does the senior sister also possess clairvoyance?" These days, do young people have no personal privacy in front of the seniors? "It's not clairvoyance," she shook her head. "It's something I saw while peering into the celestial mechanism. But what puzzles me is that your relationship with my future disciple seems rather unusual." "Unusual? In what way?" Senior Sister's expression changed. "Could it be that we are destined lovers, fated to be together for three lifetimes? I'm not a fan of the plot from the past life's lover storyline..." "Hehe, that's not it," Xing Hong chuckled, responding to her. "The peculiarity lies in the fact that your relationship with her doesn't show clear signs of being friendly or hostile. It's not just her; I see the same indeterminacy in the relationships between several individuals with great fortune and you. That's why I find you intriguing." "I can't tell if they are friend or foe," Tang Xin contemplated. "Perhaps it's because, theoretically, Snow's status as a practitioner of demonic techniques positions her against the Seven Stars, and since the senior sister has a close relationship with the Seven Stars, it makes it difficult for the celestial mechanism to determine her nature?" After all, theoretically speaking, in her previous life, Tang Xin should have been firmly against the individuals with great fortune. "There are very few people who can conceal their destiny. Besides you, I've only seen a few others among those at the Blood Reverence Hall," Xing Hong said. "The Blood Reverence Hall," Tang Xin furrowed her brows when the topic was brought up. "Senior sister, do you know where they originate from? Although I've clashed with them many times, I still have no idea about their origins." "Firstly," the senior sister pondered for a moment before replying, "these people are not simply practitioners of demonic techniques, nor are they purely from the forces within the Nine State Continent. It's just that in recent years, they have focused their activities within the Nine State Continent." "Secondly, this force should not have been established for a very long time, at least not openly for several hundred to a thousand years." "The most noteworthy point, in my opinion," Xing Hong's tone became more serious, "is that within the Blood Reverence Hall, there is also a formidable figure who is capable of peering into the celestial mechanism, and to a greater extent than I can. So far, everything that has happened seems to have been within that person's expectations." "Are you referring to the ‘Blood Lord’ who acted within the Immortal and Demon Ruins?" Tang Xin inquired. "Not certain," Xing Hong mused. "He is indeed a very powerful enemy, and his destiny is equally blurry. But I can't shake the feeling that there is something more concealed within the Blood Reverence Hall." "Could it be that the Blood Reverence Hall still possesses other aces? How can a force so young, compared to the super sects, possess such vast resources and power? These are all unsolved mysteries." "Alright, it's not the time to ponder over these matters," Xing Hong noticed her furrowed brows and chuckled. "Even if you are a heaven-defying individual, you still have to proceed one step at a time. Let's move on to matters related to you." "Please, go on," the senior sister patted her own face, temporarily putting aside the complicated matters. "My disciple, the individual with great fortune, should have appeared several years ago, based on her destiny," the senior sister explained. "And as you've seen, I am still all alone. When I felt that something was amiss and looked into her destiny again, guess what I found?" "I can't guess..." "I found out that the individual who should have appeared before my disciple actually perished. I never imagined that someone with great fortune could fall... This goes against the natural order, doesn’t it? Besides the celestial mechanism itself, who else can kill a person protected by the celestial mechanism?" "...Yes, that's true," the senior sister scratched her head, concurring. "For the celestial mechanism, this is also a significant event. The demise of this individual of great fortune directly affected my future disciple's destiny, which led to her delayed appearance at my door." "I'm just minding my own business at home, yet a disciple with great fortune flies away. Sigh, tough luck!" ...Before, I was wondering why the seventh individual of the Seven Stars was not appearing, and it turns out the blame lies with me? It's the end of the month, don't forget to vote for the monthly ticket~
