Seduce The Villainess (GL)

Chapter 300 The Hunter Who Killed Immortals (51)

(Southern Region- Xercopolis Empire)

(Unnamed Cave)

"Sorry?" Xu Lu asked in a puzzled tone.

The weapon spirit crossed her arms and let out a heavy sigh. For someone who was technically a man-made artifact and whose body was translucent...

She was surprisingly human-like.

"I thought that I was being pretty clear... I would like you to take me back to your sect so that I can bond with my true master," Tan Yahui explained calmly.

"And why do you think I would do that?" Xu Lu replied with a bemused smile hidden under her mask.

"Because I can see the future and I end up in the hands of my master!" the weapon spirit exclaimed passionately.

"I read the threads of fate and they have bonded me together with a woman of great importance! She will shake the cultivation world as the true daughter of heavens."

"Sounds impressive," Xu Lu mused thoughtfully as she stared at the carefully crafted dagger with curiosity clearly visible in her gaze.

The dagger itself had a mesmerizing quality to it.

Somehow her eyes were drawn to its sleek glossy exterior and the intricate golden runes that had been carved onto the edge of the blade.

"So, can you see my future as well?" Xu Lu asked softly as she picked up the chest and weighed it in her palm.

The box was surprisingly heavy even though the main source of weight should be the small knife that was resting gently inside.

"Sorry but I can only see the future of my master and the ones that she will affect. Your story does not cross her path after you hand me over," Tan Yahui truthfully confessed.

"Hmm... fair enough..." Xu Lu closed the lid of the chest and spoke with a hint of regret in her voice.

She was tempted to take the dagger for herself, but weapons spirits were the ones who chose their masters, and it didn't seem to right to forcefully use something that had free will.

"Okay I will take you back to the sect," Xu Lu finally spoke after thinking over the matter for a few minutes.

Since she would not have any future interactions with the so-called master of this knife then she would simply do this as a good deed.

"Thanks!" Tan Yahui happily spoke. The weapon spirit dove inside the chest and was sucked inside the knife.

The chest suddenly warmed up and Xu Lu could feel a pulsating heat travelling up her palm and into her body.

She placed the chest inside her storage bag and then turned around to look outside. The downpour of rain had now slowed down to a light drizzle.

The morning sun was beginning to peak over the horizon and thin rays of sunlight managed to penetrate the inside of the cave.

Xu Lu took in a deep breath and slowly exhaled. She still felt very tired but it was best to get a move on and continue her journey.

The saintess slowly walked outside and flinched slightly as a bright ray of sunlight fell directly on her face.

The trees in the forest were soaked after a long night of heavy rainfall which made them seem vibrant and full of life.

Xu Lu smiled slightly as she saw cute little frogs playing around in the small pools beneath the brushes and undergrowth.

At least some animals were having a good time.

She hummed softly under her breath as she made her way through the forest in a north eastern direction.

So many things had happened in the last twenty-four hours that Xu Lu was finding it hard to keep track.

She had killed a demon cultivator, rescued a bunch of rude disciples, used a strange power, met a weapon spirit, nearly had a panic attack...

And damn... it wasn't even Wednesday yet!

Xu Lu laughed internally at her little joke and focused on stepping over the muddy pools of water that were scattered across the ground.

Speaking of that panic attack... Xu Lu clicked her tongue as her good mood immediately soured.

She needed to immediately deal with this body's trauma regarding her face but she could tell that it was not going to be an easy process.

Life was not a fairy tale.

As much as people say that it is what is on the inside that matters... they are really lying.

Looks were importantly in forming good first impressions.

Xu Lu could completely understand why the original Xu Lu's confidence and self-esteem disappeared when her face was destroyed.

It would not have helped that her mentor, the woman who had raised her since she was a little baby called her a monster and a freak.

Cultivators were known for their beauty and handsome looks.

It did not take a genius to realise that if her face was exposed... she would be made fun of or mocked.

Those jealous of her position or cultivation talent would seize on the opportunity to attack something that she could not fix.

Xu Lu's fingers clenched into a tight fist as a surge of anger briefly surfaced in her heart.

If she was Sui Li or Mary, then she would not have given a fuck about what other people thought but being in Xu Lu's body had affected her emotions.

Hiss! Hiss!

A loud noise snapped Xu Lu out of her low mood.

She looked in the direction of the sound and saw two snakes wrapped around each other and rubbing their bodies together quite vigorously.

"Get a room you two!" Xu Lu cupped her hands around her mouth and yelled. She felt better being able to vent her anger in a harmless way towards the two snakes.

Was it a childish method? Yeah!

But it made her feel good.

The snakes suddenly stopped wriggling, and both turned simultaneously to look at Xu Lu. The saintess froze in shock since she didn't expect the animals to understand her words.

The snakes transformed piece by piece until a pair of seductive men wearing no clothes appeared standing upright with no shame or modesty.

The men appeared to be normal humans but possessed long hollow fangs in their mouths and their eyes resembled that of snakes with vertical pupils.

"Listen honey... we don't tell you how to live your life," one of the men angrily spoke as his pupils dilated.

"And this is our home! So, fuck off!" the other man added in a stern tone as he wrapped his arms around his lover.

"Sorry my bad... I err... will just leave you to it then..." Xu Lu stuttered while feeling slightly embarrassed.

How was she supposed to know that these were snakes who had somehow gained enough cultivation experience to transform into human forms?

The saintess backed away slowly while the two handsome men continued to look at her with displeased expressions on their faces.

Xu Lu gave the pair a wide berth and then apologised one more time before continuing on her journey through the forest.

This time... she no longer talked to the animals!
