The Daily Life of a Lazy Author Transmigrating into a Book and Doing Nothing

"What kind of fire is that?"

Zhou Yue looked at Yun Meng in horror. Never before had anything been able to break her spider web so easily. Never before.

"A dying person has no need to know."

As she spoke, a flame shot out from her palm. It looked ordinary, but it terrified Zhou Yue from the bottom of her heart, so much so that she stood rooted to the spot and couldn't move.

The flames swept over Zhou Yue's entire body, and after the flames disappeared, only a pile of ashes and a white fish-shaped jade pendant remained on the spot.

Looking at the pile of ashes, Yunmeng, who was already covered in sweat, finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground.

The Phoenix True Fire is in no way inferior to Ling Yao's Nine Netherworld Fire, and it has an extremely strong suppressive effect on things that can be reborn, preventing them from continuing to regenerate.

However, the Phoenix True Fire consumes too much spiritual energy. For her, who is currently at the Foundation Establishment stage, using it just once is enough to deplete all her spiritual energy.

Yunmeng sat weakly on the ground, her eyes unconsciously fixed on the white jade pendant on the ground.

Suddenly, a familiar whisper reached his ear: "Kill her, kill her..."

"who!"

Yunmeng looked around warily, but saw no one. All she could hear was the repeated command, "Kill her," which made her head feel like it was about to explode.

"As long as we cooperate, killing her is a piece of cake. What are you still hesitating for? Do you still want to be a puppet created by someone else?"

"Stop talking. I've already said I will never associate with evil."

"Heh, I think it's because of your pathetic sympathy, which is utterly foolish."

……

"Senior sister, senior sister, oh my god, senior sister, stop pinching me! Your face is almost purple..."

Memories faded like the tide, and those seductive words disappeared, replaced by Yu Xianxian's voice.

When Yunmeng regained consciousness, she felt short of breath. When she realized that she had been choking herself, she immediately let go. This sudden movement caused Yu Xianxian, who had been trying to pull Yunmeng's arm away, to stumble.

When she came to her senses, she realized that Yu Xianxian had already woken up.

"Wow, senior sister, you've finally come to your senses. I thought you'd suffered some kind of shock and were even trying to strangle yourself."

Yu Xianxian had naturally witnessed Yunmeng burning Zhou Yue to death with Phoenix True Fire. However, before she could even feel happy, she saw Yunmeng slump to the ground.

Yu Xianxian knew that Yunmeng had probably reached her limit. She was about to step forward to help her when she saw the other woman frantically choking her neck as if possessed.

Yu Xianxian was stunned for a moment, almost thinking this was some strange way to celebrate victory, before realizing that Yunmeng was truly bewitched.

So, they quickly stepped forward to break up the fight—well, the fight between Yunmeng and Yunmeng's hands.

However, compared to Yunmeng, a cultivator, Yu Xianxian, a mortal, had far too little strength.

If Yunmeng hadn't woken up on her own, she might have really strangled herself to death.

"Cough cough, don't worry, I'm fine."

Yunmeng coughed twice before she finally caught her breath. Then, she sat cross-legged, clearly meditating to rest.

Yu Xianxian naturally dared not disturb them, and could only sit aside and keep watch for them, in case Lao Liu launched a sneak attack.

After circulating her spiritual energy for several cycles, Yunmeng's spiritual power recovered somewhat. She then stood up.

Seeing the other person get up, Yu Xianxian, who was idly counting pebbles, also hurriedly got up and patted the dust off her bottom.

"Senior sister, how are you feeling?"

"It's all over now."

As she spoke, Yunmeng walked to Zhou Yue's remains—or rather, her ashes—and looked down as if searching for something. The curious Yu Xianxian also came over to watch.

"Senior sister, what are you looking for?"

"Xianxian, have you seen a white fish-shaped jade pendant?"

"Jade pendant? Senior sister, what do you need the jade pendant for? That jade pendant isn't a good thing either."

Without making a sound, Yu Xianxian turned her body at an angle, trying to block a jade pendant that she had already crushed into pieces.

Seeing Yunmeng strangely start pinching herself, Yu Xianxian hurriedly sought help from the script. After learning that it was that damned jade pendant causing the trouble, she obediently followed the script's instructions and crushed the jade pendant.

However, Yunmeng did not wake up immediately. Yu Xianxian cursed the script as "useless" several times before continuing to try to break up the fight.

Now that Yunmeng has woken up, Yu Xianxian hasn't looked at the jade pendant that brought misfortune again. It wasn't until Yunmeng suddenly brought it up that she remembered it.

"It's precisely because it's not a good thing that it needs to be kept safe. If it falls into the hands of others, then it will be another damned cycle."

"Ah, I don't think we need to worry about that."

Because of that broken jade pendant, it was reduced to dust by Yu Xianxian's kick.

"Why?"

Yunmeng clearly hadn't figured it out yet, knowing that she could see the fragments behind Yu Xianxian through the gaps in her body.

Yunmeng: ...

You crushed it.

"Ah, that's right, that's how it is. Senior sister, I know I was wrong."

Yes, but it might not change next time or in the future.

"I have no intention of blaming anyone."

Yunmeng knew that Yu Xianxian wasn't the kind of person who would cause trouble for no reason. Recalling how she had been bewitched earlier, she could roughly figure out what had happened.

What troubled her was that, according to Zhou Yun, the jade pendant contained a demon, albeit only half of it. But what would happen if the sealed half of the container broke?

"Xianxian, did you see anything run out of this jade pendant?"

"Ah, oh, I see it."

"They ran in that direction?"

Upon hearing this, Yunmeng's expression hardened. Oh no, had the worst-case scenario really occurred? The powerful demon within the jade pendant had escaped, and who knew how many lives it would wreak havoc upon.

"Which direction?"

Yu Xianxian tilted her head, looking quite puzzled.

She turned and pointed to the white fragments on the ground and the pool of purple blood beside them, saying, "Uh, I stomped on it too. But I promise, I absolutely didn't do it on purpose. Who told it to suddenly appear? What, do you need this one too, Senior Sister?"

A powerful demon? A mere mortal crushes it.

Yunmeng stared at the pool of purple blood and fell silent. This silence made Yu Xianxian even more terrified.

That doesn't make sense. After stomping on that ugly little thing, Yu Xianxian even checked the script. It didn't say what important thing it was. Why is Senior Sister making that face?

"No, no need."

Seeing Yunmeng lost in thought, Yu Xianxian also fell silent.

I initially thought she was just there to make a casual appearance, but it seems she wasn't; she's probably here to cause trouble.
