Villain: Her Imagination Makes Me Invincible

Chapter 44: It doesn’t hurt to help her

Xiao Xiao was squatting by the lake alone, thinking unhappily about what Ling Xue was doing underwater with some beautiful woman again.

She was not pleased.

So, she squatted there, plucking the grass one by one and tossing it into the lake.

She had been following the young master for so many years, serving tea and doing chores—when would the young master reward her?  

Yet those other women, why should they be favored over her?  

Xiao Xiao was sulking all by herself!

Just then, the calm lake suddenly began to churn.

“Hmm?”

Xiao Xiao’s large eyes looked toward the lake and saw a red glow emerging from the center of the water. It was as if a raging fire was burning at the bottom of the lake.

“What’s going on?”

Xiao Xiao quickly stood up and retreated far away.

She watched the lake from a distance.

The next moment, the entire lake began to surge wildly, massive waves rolling across the surface.

Additionally, bursts of flames erupted from the lake, and the water began evaporating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Steam rose into the sky in a spectacular sight!

Xiao Xiao, of course, didn’t know what was happening, and there was nothing she could do. She could only watch from afar.

Under her gaze, booming sounds came from the depths of the lake!

The continually evaporating water surface rose in massive waves.

After an unknown amount of time…

Boom!!!  

Suddenly, with a loud rumble, a pillar of magma, hundreds of meters thick, shot into the sky.

The massive column of fire erupted from the bottom of the lake, lifting the lake’s water high into the sky, where it soared into the clouds.

Then, it evaporated mid-air!

Immediately after…

Whoosh!!!  

A blood-red sword aura burst from the bottom of the lake, slicing the magma pillar in half. The massive pillar of fire was split in two.

The flames, mixed with lake water, exploded in mid-air, creating a scene like countless stars shimmering across the sky—truly magnificent.

Xiao Xiao stood in the distance, dumbfounded, watching the shockwaves slowly dissipate in the air.

She watched as the lake water evaporated and the flames disappeared.

Then, she saw two figures standing in mid-air!

It was Ling Xue and Yan Kui.

At this moment, the thousands-of-meters-wide lake below had completely evaporated, leaving only a bottomless pit!

In the air, Yan Kui suddenly burst into laughter: “Hahahaha! Hahahahahaha! The young master is truly unfathomable. Even your father back then couldn’t compare to you, hahaha!”

His chest robe now had a tear from the recent spar with Ling Xue. He hadn’t managed to gain the upper hand.

Of course, if it had been a fight to the death, Ling Xue would have found it very difficult to kill him.

But now, Ling Xue’s combat ability had reached the Extreme Martial Realm, on par with his own!

“Thank you for your guidance, Old Yan!” Ling Xue smiled faintly.

“Haha, it would be my honor to serve such a young master of the Demonic Sect!” Yan Kui said, laughing.

Ling Xue had said it was a spar, but in reality, it was an invitation for him to return to action.

Ling Xue had shown great respect, and his strength was impressive enough to astonish anyone.

Naturally, Yan Kui was more than willing to serve Ling Xue!

“With you, Old Yan, in this campaign against the Taixuan Empire, victory is assured!” Ling Xue said with a faint smile.

“Oh? You’re going to attack the Taixuan Empire?” Yan Kui asked curiously, looking at Ling Xue.

“Some things happened before…” Ling Xue smiled and then recounted everything that had occurred at Cangyun Heavenly Mountain.

After hearing the story, a cold glint appeared on Yan Kui’s aged face: “Hmph! A bunch of rats thinking they could cut off the future of our Demonic Sect? Let’s trample them all, one by one!”

“The first target is the Taixuan Empire. Old Yan, you may not know this, but the Taixuan Empire… has some peculiarities!” Ling Xue continued.

“What’s so special about the mere Taixuan Empire? Even if I didn’t take action, the young master could destroy it with little effort!” Yan Kui said coldly.

Ling Xue chuckled, “that was indeed true. But the peculiarity wasn’t in the Taixuan Empire itself; it was in the protagonist, Ye Feng.”

“So his primary objective was to eliminate Ye Feng first.”

“Old Yan, you may not know, but there’s an Extreme Martial Realm expert in the Taixuan Empire as well!”

Ling Xue continued, “The Taixuan Empire’s former emperor didn’t die back then!”

“Oh? That old bastard is still alive?” Yan Kui narrowed his eyes.

“Many had participated in that great battle back then, including him and the Taixuan Empire’s former emperor.”

“But even if he’s still alive, with your strength and the Demonic Sect’s army, we can still crush the Taixuan Empire!” Yan Kui said.

Even with one Extreme Martial Realm expert in the Taixuan Empire, there was no fear. After all, Ling Xue was already incredibly powerful, and the Demonic Sect’s army outnumbered the Taixuan Empire many times over.

“If you could help, Old Yan, the victory would come much more easily!” Ling Xue smiled.

“Having another Extreme Martial Realm expert would certainly make things easier.”

“Additionally, there’s one more thing I’d like to ask of you, Old Yan!” Ling Xue said.

“Young master, feel free to ask!” Yan Kui replied.

Ling Xue continued, “Old Yan, you have a seed of the White Nether Demon Flame. I have a friend who needs it. Could you give it to me?”

The original records mentioned that Yan Kui had obtained a seed of the White Nether Demon Flame.

He intended to give it to Yun Luoxi.

First, because Yun Luoxi was his woman.

Second… that woman had some connections to the Supreme Realm, so helping her wouldn’t hurt.
