Forced to Be a Villain: Starting With My Brain Extraction System-Chapter 132: Xiao Lan’s Shy!
’Tch...why are you in such a hurry?’
Zhiran tsked after finding himself at the bottom of the peak again.
’But I have to say, this elder is really trying to help me with all she’s got. She even gave me a Foundation Building Pill. That alone is enough reward to do her bidding.’
Foundation Building Pill. In his previous life, he could only dream of it.
One of the reasons why he embraced the demonic path was also because of it.
If he had such a pill with him, maybe he would have thought twice before using that forbidden demonic method.
’Come to think of it, that place should still be there. Should I...go there?’
Zhiran suddenly remembered a place where his life changed in his last life.
The place was teeming with forbidden demonic methods that could not be seen in the light of this world.
He even reached the Gold Core realm just by using those methods after all.
’I should check it once I have time.’
He thought, then finally looked into the jade slip given by Elder Yan Yue.
’Hmm...Blood Mother’s Tear? What is that?’
Zhiran thought after reading the contents of the slip. He saw that the only thing he had to do to help the elder was to take this item out of the secret realm.
But he did not know about this thing at all. The jade slip also vaguely described it as some secretion of a monster, along with its location. Nothing else.
It seemed Elder Yan Yue was cautious.
"Senior, do you know anything about Blood Mother’s Tear?"
Since Zhiran did not know, he simply asked.
He now had a grandpa in his ring after all. Well, he should say grandmother.
’But this grandmother looks really hot.’
’Cough...’
"Blood Mother’s Tear? Why do you want to know such a thing?"
Master Xueyin’s voice came out of the ring, asking curiously. She was not looking outside when Zhiran met with Yan Yue before. In fact, Zhiran strictly forbade her from showing her presence within the sect for caution.
"It is the item I was asked by Elder Yan Yue to fetch. Why? Is it something precious and rare?"
Zhiran asked.
"Umm...it is rare but not that precious. It is just useful in a special situation."
Master Xueyin seemed to know more, so she lightly explained.
"Blood Mother’s Tear is a rare secretion formed from an ancient demonic blood spider, produced only when it is gravely injured or shedding its brood."
"It carries strong yin and blood attributes, often used to neutralize some types of demonic poisons or refine forbidden demonic cultivation techniques."
"Besides that, it is useless. So, it is not that precious."
Xueyin said.
"Oh? How strong is this Demonic Blood Spider?"
Zhiran asked, raising his eyebrow.
"Umm...an adult one should be in the Peak Foundation realm. But if it is a mutated one, it might be even stronger."
’So strong?’
Zhiran thought, a little shocked. After all, demonic beasts were always stronger than human cultivators of the same rank.
If this Demonic Blood Spider were at the Peak Foundation realm, there was no way anyone could take it head-on.
Only a Gold Core cultivator could kill it, or a group of Peak Foundation realm cultivators. But was that easy?
’What is this elder thinking? Is she sending me to death?’
Zhiran was speechless.
He really had no idea if Elder Yan Yue had lost her mind.
Otherwise, would she send him, a Qi Condensation cultivator, to fetch such a thing?
’No wonder there was only a location mentioned. She really is ruthless.’
Poor Zhiran did not know that Elder Yan Yue had already thought of him as a lucky person, blessed by heaven.
As someone who had lived long enough, she had seen the wonders a lucky person could perform.
That was why, even though it seemed improbable, she placed her hope on him.
Besides, even with other henchmen she hired, she was not expecting them to kill the Demonic Blood Spider, as that was impossible.
’But now I am sure Elder Yan Yue is currently injured, and maybe poisoned. She might need this to cure it and get out of some kind of control?’
From his past life, Zhiran knew that Yan Yue was someone from the Black Lotus Sect and that she killed the Young Sect Leader of the Divine Cauldron Sect.
Now that he thought about it, such a demonic sect should, of course, have some way to control its Gold Core cultivators. Otherwise, what if she betrayed them?
’Forget it. It is none of my concern. I should not put my nose where it does not belong.’
At last, Zhiran just shook his head and put aside the jade slip. He would try to see if he could get this item after he entered the secret realm, but he absolutely would not place his life at risk.
So, he thought that rather than wasting brain cells on these things, he had better things to do.
For example, accompanying Senior Xiao Lan.
***
"Zhiran, you are already here? Why did the Elder want to see you?"
Xiao Lan asked with a beautiful smile as soon as she saw Zhiran walking towards her.
Zhiran saw that Xiao Lan was actually wearing a beautiful long dress, with properly done hair and light makeup. She seemed a bit too prepared for just visiting Azure Flame City below the sect.
"It is nothing. Just keeping tabs on my cultivation. She has quite a bit of expectation for me, you see."
Zhiran said lightly with a smile, while casually glancing at her body up and down.
"Xiao Lan, you look so beautiful today. Is there a good occasion or something?"
He joked, while coming incredibly close, directly smelling her beautiful fragrance.
After tasting Lianhua, Zhiran noticed that he had become quite lustful. His energy was always full, ready to vent.
"Tch...there is no good occasion or anything. Why? Was I not beautiful before?"
Xiao Lan rolled her eyes and slightly distanced herself from him as he was too close. Then, looking at his eyes, she lightly reprimanded.
"Junior, after disappearing for a few days, you seem to have gained quite a bit of confidence. You change so fast."
Before, although Zhiran was still blunt, he was still somewhat respectful toward her. After all, she was a senior in the Foundation Building realm.
But after disappearing for a while, he was now like a wild bull, shamelessly teasing her at any chance he got.
Although she did not mind it and even enjoyed it a little, it was quite the change.
"Haha...something happened. If Senior is offended, I apologize."
Zhiran also realized that he was a bit much, so he apologized with a smile.
Maybe he got carried away after getting powered up so quickly.
"No need to apologize, and I am not offended. Just...be careful when within the sect."
Xiao Lan hurriedly stopped him and said in a low voice, her face a little red.
Although Ember Lotus Peak was barren with very few disciples around, there were still some.
What if someone saw her flirting with her junior? If rumors spread, she would have a hard time showing her face around.
People might say this was the senior who seduced her junior disciple.
"Haha...okay then. Let us go? I am quite tired and want to relax in the city."
Zhiran laughed it off and said.
"Umm...let us leave then. Just jump in my spirit boat."
Xiao Lan nodded, took out her spirit boat, and climbed together with Zhiran.
In no time, she operated the boat to fly high above the sky, leaving the sect.
"Hmm? Z-Zhiran?"
But just as they left the perimeter of the sect, Xiao Lan suddenly felt a wide arm hugging her waist from behind, surprising her.
She could not help but stutter slightly, as this was too bold and too fast. Just like she thought, something about Zhiran had changed.
Otherwise, why would he dare to hug his senior like this?
"Senior, it is quite cold. Let us warm up a little."
Zhiran whispered softly into Xiao Lan’s ear, making her shiver slightly, all the while embracing her tightly.
His hand was already resting on her flat stomach while his head lay on her shoulder, looking at the rapidly flying clouds around them.
He did not seem like someone taking advantage of an unsuspecting girl at all.
Rather, he looked like a boyfriend, naturally hugging his girlfriend in his embrace. He looked so serene that Xiao Lan’s anxiousness disappeared completely.
"O-Okay..."
At last, Xiao Lan said nothing and nodded slightly, her cheeks turning pink.
And maybe she liked it a bit too much. The spirit boat flew in a different direction, taking a longer path over Azure Flame City, giving her ample time to enjoy this new feeling of warm embrace.
Fortunately for her, Zhiran was not someone who would complain.
