Villains: Starting with the Landlady

Page 145

She looked to be around twenty years old, with a dignified and beautiful appearance, and the demeanor of a well-bred lady.

She had a slender and graceful figure, and when she walked, she moved lightly as if aided by the wind, and floated lightly to him.

"Greetings, benefactor!"

"You are that butterfly, right?" Ling Yun smiled faintly, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body.

Name: Caiyi

Age: 154, ☆

[Value: 166]

[Rating: 96]

[Combat Strength: S-]

[Affection: Falling in love]

Upon hearing Ling Yun directly reveal her identity, Caiyi was startled and knelt down.

“My benefactor, my name is Caiyi. I am indeed... I am a butterfly that has cultivated into a spirit, but I have never harmed anyone. I only drink nectar and dew to cultivate every day…”

Lingyun's hug interrupted her.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not some righteous madman who's gone mad and is irreconcilably opposed to demons!"

Chapter 338 Poisonous Lady and Caiyi

Ling Yun held Caiyi in his arms, feeling her soft and fragrant body, and said softly, "Although I am also a cultivator, I never look at demons differently. Just like people, there are good and bad. To condemn them all is the most foolish thing to do."

"My benefactor, you are so kind."

Caiyi leaned against him, inhaling his scent, her face filled with ecstasy.

When Ling Yun saw that she had taken the initiative to come to him and throw herself into his arms, he naturally did not stand on ceremony.

Caiyi blushed, but she obeyed him. Just as the young man was about to have a good discussion with Huadie in the misty back garden, a cold aura came from the thick fog.

"My benefactor, be careful!"

In that instant, Caiyi forgot the difference in strength between herself and Lingyun. She took the lead and stood in front of Lingyun. Her yellow outer skirt was pushed down by the large wings that stretched out from her back, leaving only the part of her clothes that were close to her body.

Ling Yun glanced at her figure and nodded secretly.

There are basically no ugly women in this world of immortals and heroes, especially butterflies, which are a species in nature that naturally conforms to human aesthetics. Even if they transform into humans, they are still top-notch beauties.

A chilling aura drew ever closer until a giant spider came into their view.

"Hmph, you stinky butterfly, you're not getting away today!"

The giant spider was entirely black, with the upper body of a stunningly beautiful woman and the lower half resembling a spider. Although it looked somewhat ferocious, it gave Ling Yun a strange sense of beauty overall.

[Name: Poisonous Lady]

Age: 123, ☆

[Value: 170]

[Rating: 95]

[Combat Strength: S-]

[Affection: Falling in Love (Natural Affinity Up+)]

Ling Yun stood behind Cai Yi and stroked his chin.

Even someone as experienced as Ling, who had been through countless romantic encounters, had never played with such a strange creature.

So, how do you get in as a spider?

As he pondered, the two demons, who already had a grudge against each other, started fighting.

Because the man who had become somewhat entangled with Caiyi was right next to her, the Poisonous Lady dared not use her spider web recklessly, lest she hurt him.

However, after losing this technique, she didn't have as much time to cultivate as Caiyi. Although she tried to restrain herself, this behavior was tantamount to cutting off her own arm, and she quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

"That wretched butterfly..."

The Poisonous Lady was getting a little irritated from being suppressed. She didn't care whether she would accidentally hurt Ling Yun. She raised her spider legs and sprayed spider webs at Caiyi.

Although Caiyi was able to dodge the attack, Lingyun behind her might be hit. She had no choice but to flap her wings, gather her spiritual energy, and transform it into countless petals and light spots to meet the spider web.

"The goddess scattered the flowers!"

The two fought to a draw. If she hadn't been careless and taken advantage of earlier yesterday, the Poisonous Lady wouldn't have fared well in a face-to-face fight.

"Alright, have you had enough fun?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying sword intent condensed above the two women's heads, as if a Damocles' sword was hanging over their heads, and they would be pierced and killed if they were not careful!

Ling Yun walked to the Poisonous Lady's side and saw that she was stunned and unable to move. He reached out and grabbed her chin.

"He's not bad looking, but he's a bit ruthless."

Teased by him with words and actions, Poisonous Lady blushed and squeezed out the words through gritted teeth: "You...you are indeed not an ordinary person."

"A mere mortal would probably be dead long ago if you stung them like that, unlike me who's still alive and kicking."

Ling Yun touched her smooth face, collected some interest, and then moved his large hand down to touch her somewhat hard spider body: "Not bad, the hardness of your armor is probably even harder than black iron. I'm afraid ordinary Taoists wouldn't be able to break through your defenses."

Poisonous Lady didn't know what he was going to do. Ling Yun's lips curled slightly as he approached her reddened earlobe and said in a low, husky voice, "However, I'd like to give it a try."

The thick fog that had enveloped the Minister's residence dissipated, a spider perched on Ling Yun's shoulder, and a brightly colored butterfly landed on his head. The young man returned to the main hall.

More than half an hour had passed since he left and returned. Lin Yueru couldn't help but want to go out and check on the situation several times, but Zhao Ling'er pulled her back each time.

"Brother Ling!"

Upon seeing him enter the house, Lin Yueru immediately stepped forward, but stopped a few steps away from him: "These butterflies and spiders..."

"Yes, it's these two little devils, but I've already subdued them, so it's no big deal."

"really?"

Zhao Ling'er ran over curiously. Everyone loves beauty, and she immediately took a liking to the big butterfly. Even the jade prayer beads on her chest hummed, as if she also liked the beautiful butterfly.

"Her name is Caiyi."

Ling Yun raised his hand, and Caiyi flew up and landed on the back of his hand, maintaining her butterfly shape as she said to the two women, "Greetings, elder sisters!"

"Female?" Lin Yueru raised an eyebrow and sneered, "No wonder you didn't kill them. Could this ugly spider be female too?"

"You brat, what are you saying!"

Poisonous Lady is no pushover. She submits to Ling Yun, but that doesn't mean she has to obey Lin Yueru, whom she sees as a mere brat.

"Come out and challenge!"

"come!"

Seeing that the two women were about to fight at the slightest disagreement, Ling Yun had a headache. He scolded the two women and then looked at Aunt Yun, who was hesitant to come over, and signaled Caiyi to transform into human form.

The butterfly flew to Aunt Yun's side and then transformed into a beautiful woman.

Perhaps it was her outstanding appearance that made Aunt Yun lower her guard. She wasn't too afraid when she saw Caiyi, but she still didn't dare to get close.

Caiyi smiled at her, came to her side, took her hand, and bowed slightly: "Madam, from now on I will stay here to protect your safety."

"Are you called Caiyi?"

"Yes ma'am."

Caiyi's smile was so warm that it made Aunt Yun feel much better.

Meanwhile, Poisonous Lady and Lin Yueru were still staring at each other when Zhao Ling'er tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Sister Yueru, we're all companions now, don't be like this!"

"Who's her comrade?!" ×2

"It's never over!"

Ling Yun frowned, and Lin Yueru snorted when she saw this, and didn't cause any more trouble.

Ling Yun gently removed the Poisonous Lady from his shoulder and placed her on the ground. He said to Aunt Yun, "We may be leaving Chang'an in a couple of days to search for Ling'er's birth mother elsewhere. Let the Poisonous Lady and Caiyi stay here. But don't worry, they won't harm anyone."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing, and that's to keep it a secret from Senior Sword Immortal."

"Keep it a secret? I think you've been bewitched by some demon!"

Situ Zhong's voice came from beside him. Ling Yun looked over and saw him standing at the door, holding a long sword in his arms.

"Boy, now that I've seen these two demons, I'm definitely taking them away and locking them up in the Demon Locking Tower!"

Chapter 339 Bacchus

"What if I say no?"

"Young man, I see a connection between us, so I taught you a move, hoping you'll slay demons and monsters in your future adventures!" Situ Zhong looked at Ling Yun with a mixture of disappointment and anger, "not to see you associating with demons and losing your mind!"

"Senior Sword Immortal, must demons be exterminated without mercy?"

"Heaven cherishes life, so I will not kill them. Instead, I will take them back to the Demon Locking Tower and lock them up to prevent them from harming the human world."

"Do you know what's at the very bottom of the Demon-Sealing Tower?"

Situ Zhong frowned, somewhat curious as to why Ling Yun knew so much about the Demon Locking Tower.

"At the very bottom is the Demon-Transforming Water. Even powerful demons will perish if they touch it. What's the difference between this and killing them outright? They'll just have to suffer endless torment!"

Situ Zhong remained silent for a moment, then said with the last trace of peace, "Young brother, perhaps your thoughts are somewhat different from mine, but your nature is not bad, and you can still repent. The Demon-Locking Tower is no ordinary object, but a divine artifact bestowed by the gods. With the incantations performed by countless high monks and Taoists, and the immense power of the five elements contained within it, it possesses boundless power to imprison demons. In other words, this was bestowed upon our Shushan Sword Sect by Heaven, and slaying demons and eliminating evil is naturally something our Shushan Sword Sect must do."

"So the mighty Shushan Sword Sect, the so-called guardian deity of the human realm, is nothing more than a dog of the divine realm?"

Situ Zhong's expression shifted slightly, but he did not deny it: "We are just mortals, how can we go against the divine realm?"

"There's no point in saying more. Let's go outside, not here."

Situ Zhong glanced at Poison Lady and Caiyi, making the two demons tremble. Then Ling Yun stopped the two women who wanted to follow and went to the spacious backyard with the Drunken Sword Immortal.

Zhao Ling'er was somewhat worried. Although Ling Yun had defeated the Sword Saint, the impact of the last battle was too great. She was concerned that this time he might demolish the Minister's Mansion. So she exchanged a glance with Lin Yueru, and the two women secretly followed him.

Aunt Yun was also worried about Ling Yun, so she followed along with Caiyi and Poison Lady.

Standing in the backyard, Situ Zhong held a long sword in his hand. His face was no longer flushed from the alcohol, but his nose was still a little red.

Ling Yun did not use the flying sword again. His sword control technique was still a bit lacking, far less powerful than using the Meteor Blade Technique directly.

He drew the Mo Bai sword, and the texture of its black blade and white light made Situ Zhong sigh in admiration. He could tell that this long sword was already a spiritual weapon, and the entire Shu Mountain could not guarantee that it could produce a weapon with sentience.

"If you can withstand this move from me, I can let bygones be bygones and let them go."

Situ Zhong sheathed his longsword, took out the wine gourd from his waist, took a big gulp, and then wiped his mouth.

"Is this considered giving me a break?"

"Hehe, you lad..." The Drunken Sword Immortal laughed, but immediately composed himself and said seriously, "Our Shu Mountain has undergone a major upheaval. The previous sect leader, Chang Yuan, originally wanted to pass the position to me, but I'm used to being carefree and don't like being constrained. I have high hopes for you; you might be the best candidate for the next sect leader."

"Sorry, I also don't like being restricted."

"Then let's see who has the real skills."

The Sword Immortal took a deep breath, then looked longingly at the wine gourd at his waist, gripped it, and shouted.

A huge, fat phantom appeared in the backyard. He was three zhang tall and held a wine pot that was one zhang in size in both hands. He slammed it down hard on Ling Yun!

This is the ultimate skill, "God of Wine," passed down to Li Xiaoyao by the Drunken Sword Immortal in the original game. It is incredibly powerful, but each use will deplete all of his true energy. The more true energy he has, the greater its power. It can only be used nine times in a lifetime; exceeding this will result in exhaustion and death.

The damage of the Dionysus skill is related to the current True Qi value. The more True Qi value the current Dionysus skill has, the higher the damage of the Dionysus skill. The base damage is about 8 times the current True Qi value, and it also adds spiritual power damage. It is the highest damage move in the Legend of Sword and Fairy 1. When the Dionysus skill is used, the BOSS will either die or be seriously injured.

Now, wielded by Situ Zhong, it is far more terrifying than the original Little Li!

Ling Yun looked at the wine jug that had been smashed down, feeling somewhat speechless.

No, how come all these people from the Shu Mountain Sect say they'll let me go as long as I can withstand one move, but they don't hold back at all?

If it were the original Li Xiaoyao, he probably would have been completely obliterated by this attack!

With a soft hum, Ling Yun gripped the hilt of the sword and swung it at the God of Wine.
