Villain Cultivator

Chapter 98 '“ Enlightened Xiong Zhenzhen

Xiong Zhenzhen returned to her room when she was still an inner disciple. She stood in front of the door with the metal plate [17051].

'It's been a while. I wonder if the messes in my room are still there. Oh, wait. I don't have the key'¦'

Xiong Zhenzhen sighed, lamenting that she had forgotten the master key. Still, she could unlock the door easily with her Qi manipulation. Controlling objects without touching was a simple task for her.

*Click*

The door was unlocked and Xiong Zhenzhen opened it.

The room interior was the same as Xiong Zhenzhen had imagined. It was still the same.

The bedsheet piled next to the bed, and the mountain of dirty clothes was next to it. Moldy odor kicked her nose, forced her to cover it with her fingers.

'Ah, shit. I forgot to clean those. I should have posted a cleaning request in the CP hall.'

Xiong Zhenzhen rushed to the other side of the room to open all windows. Then, she turned to Xie Tian, who was standing in front of the room.

"Create a hot wind for me. No, create a fireball and keep it on your palm. Don't explode anything."

Xie Tian had a wry smile on his face, but he complied with her order anyway.

Xiong Zhenzhen manipulated the hot air from Xie Tian's fireball to blow all the smells outside the windows. Then, she gathered all dirty clothes, bedsheets, furniture, and her hidden stash into her spatial ring.

'¦

An hour later, Xiong Zhenzhen finished cleaning the room and arranging the furniture to their usual places.Â

The girl wiped her sweat as she admired the tidied room. However, she still had to do the laundry.

"Hey, you," Xiong Zhenzhen pointed at Xie Tian, who was still controlling the dragon fireball in his hand.

"What?"

"Can you do the laundry?"

"'¦"

"I'll take that as a [Yes]," Xiong Zhenzhen brought out all the dirty clothes in her spatial ring, "Clean this mess for me. The detergent and the laundry machine is in the bathroom. When you're done, use the dryer machine. Oh, don't forget to iron them!"

"'¦"

Xie Tian was speechless. He glanced at her clothes and discovered a few pairs of underwear.

"Err."

"You have to stay here for now. Once you're done with the chore, I'll bring you out of the sect, okay? If I come back and find the mess, I'll fucking chop off your arms and send you to the underground prison!"

Xiong Zhenzhen giggled and left the room. She also locked the door from outside, using a defensive array that she knew.

Xie Tian could only look at the pile of dirty clothes and the sexy underwear in a daze. His brain.exe had stopped working for a few minutes before it successfully rebooted.

"The hell!?"

'¦

Xiong Zhenzhen stood at the stairs between the 16th floor and the 15th floor, peeking the border area between the inner sect and the outer zone, where the outer disciples lived.

'How should I go through the security? Inner sect disciples can't leave the inner area without the supervision of an elder'¦'

Xiong Zhenzhen stared at several inner disciples, who came here to cultivate Yin Qi and Yin Essence from the Yin Pool. She also sent a hateful glare at several guard women, who stood at the edge of the room, acting as wardens to keep these disciples away from the exit toward the lower floors.

'Still the same as ever. Should I blatantly use my status and waltz through the security?'

For a long time, Xiong Zhenzhen kept peeking at everyone from the staircase. She didn't notice that an elder had been watching for a long time.

"Zhenzhen, are you going to peep at your friends for the whole day?"

Xiong Zhenzhen jumped in surprise like a cat seeing a cucumber from behind. When she looked back to see the person, she was in joy.

"Elder Yao!"

It was Yao Lan, who had some businesses on the upper floors. She raised her eyebrows as she found Xiong Zhenzhen's condition odd.

"You'¦ you can talk normally now!?"

Yao Lan shook Xiong Zhenzhen's shoulders as she was in disbelief. She thought that Xu Xiuying had corrupted her mind and turned her into another mindless tool after the latter consumed the pureblood vampire bloodline crystal.

 "Err, isn't it normal to speak normally?"

Yao Lan touched Xiong Zhenzhen's wrists, face, and shoulders. Then, she pinched the latter's cheeks to make sure that she wasn't dreaming.

"Ow! Elder!"

"Sorry. I was testing if I'm not dreaming."

"Pinch your own cheeks, not mine!"

"How did you break free from that '¦ eh, forget it. What are you doing here?" Yao Lan wanted to ask how Xiong Zhenzhen snapped back to her sense after being brainwashed, but she chose not to ask her yet.

"Elder, I would like to visit the CP hall to buy a few things. Also, I want to visit Zheng Liqin."

"Ah?" Yao Lan squinted her eyes, "What do you want to buy?"

"I'm stockpiling food and water. Also, I need to buy some [Blood Essence], so I can gift it to my friend."

"You want to give the blood essence to Liqin, I assume."

"Yes. She's a JY elite, so the blood essence should be compatible with her. Then, she can obtain the blood '¦ line?"

Xiong Zhenzhen stopped her sentence as she found her own purposes odd. She frowned and thought about all incidents relating to blood essence or any form of bloodline crystal that this sect provided.

'Come to think of it, I haven't heard that anyone other than Elder Long successfully inheriting a bloodline crystal. More than a hundred disciples already had at least one crystal, but Vice Master Xu said that they were transferred to the main branch. Something is weird.'

Xiong Zhenzhen wanted to ask Yao Lan about matters regarding her colleagues and seniors, who had taken a bloodline crystal from the sect. However, all words got stuck in her throat. She didn't know if she should trust Elder Yao Lan since she was in charge of managing prisoners.

A theory stopped Xiong Zhenzhen from trusting Yao Lan. She thought that Yao Lan might be responsible for the disappearance of her friends and the weird effect of the bloodline crystals.

While Xiong Zhenzhen was hesitating, Yao Lan patted the former's head, "You know what? Let me guide you somewhere."

"Where?"

"Just follow me."

'¦

Yao Lan led Xiong Zhenzhen to the elder's living quarters on the 5th floor.

As the elder was guiding the way, nobody dared to stop them from proceeding. No one questioned why they were there as they thought that the two came here to post some requests.

Yao Lan visited a private meeting room. She knocked on the door, "It's me, Yao Lan."

*Click*

The door was unlocked and opened by itself.

Inside the room, Qi Ning and a dozen VY inner disciples were gathering there. They were in the middle of a discussion, and their expression was dark.

"You're late, Elder Yao," Qi Ning reprimanded her friend.

"Sorry. I've been busy. Zhenzhen, come inside."

"O-Okay."

Everyone in the room stared at Xiong Zhenzhen in doubt. Qi Ning even released her killing intent, "Why are you bringing Xu Xiuying's pet in here!?"

Yao Lan stood before Xiong Zhenzhen, "Stop that. She's no longer her pet."

"What?"

"Go ahead, Zhenzhen. Greet the elder."

Xiong Zhenzhen looked around in confusion, but she cupped her fist and bowed to Qi Ning, "Junior Xiong Zhenzhen greets Elder Qi."

"Huh?" Qi Ning widened her eyes, "She can talk!?"

Xiong Zhenzhen's eyebrows twitched. She was offended, "Of course, I can talk!"

"You're not brainwashed!?" Qi Ning jumped from her seat and strode to Zhenzhen's side. The former looked into the disciple's eyes, "The vampire blood doesn't corrupt your mind anymore?"

"???"

"Yao Lan! Did you get the cure from Long Meifang!? Did that bitch agree to join us!?"

Yao Lan shook her head, "That succubus only has the cure for lesser succubus or lesser vampire bloodline. The true vampire bloodline hasn't been thoroughly researched yet, so we don't have the cure."

"Then, how did she get back to her senses!?"

As Qi Ning was curious how Xiong Zhenzhen regained her sanity, the latter looked at Yao Lan, "What's going on here, senior?"

Yao Lan laughed, "Well, it's a long story, but I'll explain."

'¦

After several hours, Xiong Zhenzhen returned to her room on the 17th floor. She got the food supply that she wanted, but she also heard unbelievable stories.

The Silver Phoenix Sect was a demonic sect. Xu Xiuying, who was a succubus queen, was trying to feed various bloodline crystals to all her disciples and perform various experiments.

The only successful converted, Long Meifang, was once a legacy disciple of Xu Lanying. She was once a human, but she had mutated into a succubus after consuming a succubus queen's bloodline crystal. However, due to her oddball personality, Xu Lanying transferred her here to work in a branch as a lowly CP hall manager.

As for those who failed to inherit a demonic bloodline, they either died or lost their sanity. The surviving disciples were being kept on the B7 floor, where Yao Lan and Long Meifang were in charge of protecting.

Xiong Zhenzhen's friends, who went missing, had been sent there. Most of them had already died while the surviving few could no longer walk on their two feet.

Xiong Zhenzhen's pupils glowed in red light. After discovering the truth and visiting the B7 floor to see the survivors herself, she couldn't keep calm anymore.

Whatever Yao Lan was planning, Xiong Zhenzhen wanted in. She joined Yao Lan and Qi Ning in their secret activities against Xu Xiuying.

"You're finally back. I've done all the chores. Can I leave this place now?"

When Xie Tian saw that Xiong Zhenzhen returned, he asked her to let him leave right away. He had no idea what Xiong Zhenzhen was thinking.

"I'm sorry. I'm going to need your help," Xiong Zhenzhen tossed a bag of raw spirit stones to Xie Tian, "Also, we need to talk. It's relating to how you dispelled my master's brainwashing spell."
