Hua Jian, currently sixteen years old with the mental age of twenty-eight, is a transmigrator.
She used to be just an ordinary model youth living in a normal world, but on her coming-of-age birthday, she stayed up all night playing games and was possessed by a scumbag who took over her body and equipment.
She failed to catch her breath and died of anger, only to transmigrate into this world as a little girl who had starved to death.
Thinking back on these years of her life, Hua Jian really wanted to wipe away her tears.
This world is indeed a bit better than those cultivation novels where chaos breaks out at the drop of a hat.
The righteous path firmly suppresses the demonic path, so you don’t have to worry much about suddenly being captured on the road by some demon cultivator and made into a sacrifice.
But while there’s peace, there’s also poverty.
Hua Jian has dabbled in every trade under the sun over the years— performing on stage, being a Thief offstage, working part-time delivering parcels— basically, she did anything that could make money.
Not long ago, she relied on her own talent to forcibly break through her cultivation bottleneck and enter the Spirit Master stage.
A brand new way to earn money suddenly appeared before her eyes.
In my previous life, I was ambushed by a scumbag and perished in the dark Underground Vault.
In this life, I will make everyone in this world experience the pain of being possessed!
The Secret Realm is a vault, the cultivators inside are gold bars, and if Hua Jian enters a Secret Realm and doesn’t loot anything, she’ll just prey on people!
This… is the story of Hua Jian.
Before she ran into Linglong, this iron wall, she had already stripped dozens of cultivators using this method, earning a huge sum of five hundred Spirit Stones.
But Spirit Stones really don’t last long in the hands of a cultivator.
After Hua Jian bought some cultivation resources, those five hundred Spirit Stones vanished like smoke, so she could only return to the Secret Realm and go back to her old business.
And then, she accidentally ran into the Saintess by the roadside.
Then, the Saintess accidentally kicked a wild Spirit Beast by the roadside.
……
“It’s all your fault! If I get killed, you owe me a hundred Spirit Stones!”
“If you say one more word, I’ll throw you to it as food!”
Linglong grabbed Hua Jian by the collar with one hand, while her other hand formed a spell seal, pushing the Exorcism Technique to its limit, barely keeping a safe distance from the Spirit Beast.
Being able to run almost as fast as a Spirit Beast that’s one level higher than herself— this truly showed the depth of a great sect cultivator.
If it were Hua Jian, all she could do at this point would be to use her escape technique to run circles in the forest.
Hua Jian looked back at the ferocious Spirit Beast, which was covered in jet-black fur with a few purple flames burning on its body.
“Purpleflame Black Tiger. This thing hates water. Fly southwest— there’s a big lake over there. If we hide in it, the tiger won’t chase us anymore!”
For the sake of her hundred Spirit Stones, Hua Jian could only pinch her nose and tell the Saintess how to escape.
Now, if she wanted to get away from the tiger’s pursuit, she really could only count on the Saintess to be competent.
“Southwest? Which way is southwest?” Linglong’s head turned left and right, a confused expression on her face.
There was no sun in the Secret Realm, so she couldn’t tell directions.
“This way! How can a Saintess be so bad with directions!”
“I am not!”
Linglong retorted irritably, then flew in the direction Hua Jian pointed.
About half an hour later, a sparkling lake appeared before them.
Linglong couldn’t care less about the cultivators fishing by the lake and dove straight into the water with Hua Jian.
Boom!
Water splashed everywhere.
“Who’s the uncultured jerk bombing fish here?!”
Crackle!
Countless poor little fish floated belly-up to the surface.
“Now they’re electrofishing?!”
……
As everyone knows, water conducts electricity.
So what happens when someone full of electricity dives into the water?
The answer is obvious— the electricity spreads out, and then… zaps the person nearby.
The little fish were electrocuted, and Hua Jian was almost fried as well.
She was just a hair away from breaking the Space Stone in her hand, and her hundred Spirit Stones were about to go down the drain.
Seeing Hua Jian twitching from the shock, Linglong’s face flashed with a hint of embarrassment. She wanted to apologize, but when she opened her mouth, only bubbles came out.
Underwater, you really can’t speak without using a spirit technique.
Roar!!!
A furious roar came from the shore— the Spirit Beast had finally caught up, but faced with the vast lake, it just couldn’t overcome its instinctive dislike of water.
It prowled along the shore for quite a while, growling low, before finally turning back the way it came.
Once the Spirit Beast’s pressure faded, Hua Jian dared to cautiously stick her head out from underwater. After making sure it was really gone, she let out a long sigh of relief.
“Are you sure you’re not brainless, Saintess? I told you not to do anything, not to do anything! You just wouldn’t listen. Now you see what happened!” After she caught her breath, Hua Jian saw the extra head beside her and couldn’t help complaining.
“You Thief, how can you slander me? I already fell for your trick, how could I trust your words again?” Linglong didn’t indulge Hua Jian either.
With a slap of her little hand, she sent a splash of water that made Hua Jian stagger.
Before they could say more, a few angry voices suddenly came from the shore.
“It’s these two bombing and electrofishing that brought the Spirit Beast! Let’s take them down together!”
“Charge! For the sake of protecting our Mingjing Lake!”
“Thief girl, prepare to die!”
The cultivators who had been fishing by the lake just now charged at them furiously— this was the wrath of the Air Force Fishing Cultivators.
Hua Jian and Linglong exchanged a glance, nodding in perfect understanding.
The two of them took to the sky together, and then…
“Fellow Daoists, please listen to my explanation…” Linglong clasped her hands and bowed to the charging cultivators, wanting to resolve the conflict peacefully.
“Did this lake have your names on it? So what if I bomb fish! If you’ve got guts, come chase me!” Hua Jian gave the charging cultivators the finger— so much for resolving things peacefully.
Well, the two of them were completely out of sync.
After stirring up their anger, Hua Jian turned into petals and ran, leaving Linglong as the sole target for the furious Fishing Cultivators.
“I’m not with her!”
Linglong’s explanation was drowned out by the incoming spirit techniques. Once Hua Jian drew their hatred, nothing she said would help.
“Thief, don’t run!” An exasperated Linglong slashed away the incoming spirit techniques with her sword and turned to chase after Hua Jian.
To the angry cultivators, this was just proof of a guilty conscience— if the other side admits defeat and runs, wouldn’t it be a waste not to give chase?
So—”Chase!”
“Drive these two Thief girls out of the Secret Realm!”
A ragtag alliance of nearly ten people formed, charging after the two fleeing girls.
But as they chased, they realized they just couldn’t catch up to those two.
Linglong’s Exorcism Technique was already extremely fast— no cultivator of the same level could compare.
Hua Jian, specialized in escape, wasn’t someone these cultivators could catch either.
The longer they chased, the more they doubted themselves. Could they really catch these two Thieves?
Just as they were about to give up, Hua Jian suddenly circled back to taunt them again.
“Scrubs!” She flipped them off again.
“Thief, just you wait for us!!!”
