Transmigrated into the villain? Watch my epic comeback in the ethereal fairy realm!

Dai Yao breathed a long sigh of relief, but before she could even exclaim "It's finally over," she felt as if the air around her had frozen.

An ancient and powerful aura rushed towards her, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

"No way? There's a hidden version?" Dai Yao thought to herself, but she tried to remain calm on the surface.

Behind the altar, a huge figure slowly rose up.

This guardian beast was as big as a small mountain, its body covered with scales that shimmered with a metallic sheen, and its two scarlet eyes were like two huge lanterns, emitting a chilling light.

"Is this thing sure it didn't come out of some Classic of Mountains and Seas?" Dai Yao clicked her tongue in amazement. This aura, this pressure, it's definitely a max-level BOSS!

But so what if it's a max-level boss?

She, Dai Yao, is a woman with an incredibly lucky physique and overflowing fortune!

Dai Yao carefully observed the guardian beast, trying to find its weakness.

Although this big guy looks majestic, his eyes seem to be not very good; he always squints slightly, as if he is severely nearsighted.

"Hehe, being nearsighted is great!" Dai Yao thought to herself with a secret delight, a plan forming in her mind.

She quickly pulled out several moonstones she had collected earlier from her storage bag; these stones emitted a soft glow in the dark.

Dai Yao tossed the moonstones into the air, controlling them to swirl and dance around the guardian beast, creating flickering light.

Sure enough, the guardian beast's eyes were disturbed by the light, and it began to become restless. Its huge head swayed from side to side, seemingly unable to pinpoint Dai Yao's location.

"Little brat, afraid of the light, huh!" Dai Yao thought smugly, ready to press her advantage, when she suddenly heard a deafening roar.

The guardian beast's eyes turned completely blood red, and an even more terrifying aura erupted... "Yao Yao, are you alright?" A familiar voice suddenly came.

The guardian beast's eyes turned completely blood red, and an even more terrifying aura erupted, causing the surrounding air to buzz.

"Good heavens, this is about to unleash a powerful attack!" Dai Yao thought to herself, "This is bad, this aura is probably going to destroy the world!"

She quickly summoned her defensive magic weapon, barely managing to block the guardian beast's first attack.

"Yaoyao, are you alright?" Ling Feng's voice came from afar, tinged with anxiety.

Before Dai Yao could respond, the guardian beast launched its second attack.

This time it was a huge beam of energy, incredibly fast. Dai Yao barely dodged it, but was still grazed by the energy, and her sleeve was instantly burned to ashes.

"Holy crap, is this thing a laser cannon?" Dai Yao couldn't help but complain, dodging the guardian beast's attacks while thinking of a countermeasure.

The guardian beast's attacks grew increasingly fierce, and Dai Yao felt like a mouse being toyed with by a cat, constantly running for her life.

While dodging, she observed the guardian beast's attack patterns and discovered that although it had strong attack power, it was relatively slow, and its attack trajectory seemed to follow a certain pattern.

A bold idea suddenly came to Dai Yao's mind.

Instead of simply dodging, she began to actively approach the guardian beast, using her agile movements to weave through the gaps in its attacks.

Although the guardian beast's attacks were powerful, they always missed her by just a little bit, as if she could predict the trajectory of the attacks in advance.

The onlookers were stunned; this move was simply amazing!

"This girl's got something!" someone couldn't help but exclaim.

Dai Yao seized the opportunity, formed hand seals, and chanted incantations, emanating a powerful spiritual energy from her body.

This is a powerful spell she comprehended during her trials in the celestial realm – "Star River Fall".

All the starlight gathered and transformed into a dazzling beam of light, striking the guardian beast's eyes directly.

"Awooo—" The guardian beast let out a shrill scream, its massive body trembling violently.

Dai Yao pressed her advantage and used "Star River Fall" again. This time, the guardian beast's eyes were blasted open, and blood gushed out.

The guardian beast collapsed to the ground in agony, barely clinging to life.

Dai Yao landed slowly, looked at the guardian beast lying on the ground, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Finally done!"

Suddenly, an even more powerful aura emanated from the depths of the altar, accompanied by a majestic voice: "Who dares to disturb this immortal's slumber?"

Before Dai Yao could recover from the lingering power of the "laser cannon" guardian beast, she felt an even stronger aura crashing down on her like Mount Tai.

"Good heavens, there's even a BOSS?" Dai Yao thought to herself, but on the surface she pretended to be calm.

A golden light flashed deep within the altar, and an old man with an air of otherworldly grace appeared out of thin air. He was none other than the master of this celestial realm—the Immortal Lingxiao.

He stroked his beard, his sharp gaze sweeping over the crowd before finally settling on Dai Yao.

"Who dares to disturb my slumber?" Lingxiao Immortal's tone was authoritative, tinged with displeasure.

Dai Yao's inner monologue: Big brother, is it your guardian beast that's making too much noise?

However, she bowed respectfully and said, "Reporting to the immortal, your disciple Dai Yao had no intention of disturbing your cultivation. I was merely completing the final test of my destiny."

Lingxiao Immortal was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting anyone to reach this final step, especially a girl who didn't seem very bright.

He quickly calculated with his fingers and suddenly realized, "So that's how it is! You actually triggered the hidden level and successfully passed the test. Not bad, not bad at all, truly a promising young talent!"

Hidden levels?

Dai Yao blinked innocently, "Hidden level? There's such a thing? This disciple had no idea!" But secretly, she was delighted: Hehe, I didn't expect to accidentally trigger a hidden storyline, this is a huge win!

Seeing Dai Yao's "confused" look, Lingxiao Immortal couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You little girl, you're quite interesting. Since you've passed the hidden level, I will naturally give you an extra reward."

Thus, amidst the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes of everyone, Dai Yao received far more rewards than previously promised, including various precious cultivation techniques and powerful magic treasures, which practically dazzled everyone's titanium alloy eyes.

Dai Yao stood there, bathed in the glory, with only one thought in her mind: This wave, in the atmosphere!

Ling Feng ran over excitedly, hugged Dai Yao tightly, and exclaimed, "Yao Yao, you're amazing! I knew you could do it!" Dai Yao pushed him away a little shyly, but her face was filled with a happy smile.

Lingyun also came over and sincerely congratulated Dai Yao, and a subtle atmosphere filled the three of them.

"Yao Yao," Ling Feng suddenly leaned close to Dai Yao's ear and whispered, "I..."

Dai Yao's heart suddenly raced. Just as she was about to respond, she suddenly heard a voice coming from afar: "Welcome back to the palace, Holy Maiden!" Dai Yao's lips twitched. What was with this sudden title of "Holy Maiden"?

Before she could react, a group of Demon Palace disciples dressed in black rode in on swords. The leader was none other than her nominal master—the Demon Palace Elder, Yin Yue.

Elder Yin Yue walked solemnly to Dai Yao, knelt on one knee, and loudly proclaimed, "Welcome back to the palace, Holy Maiden! May the Holy Maiden live a thousand years and unify the demonic path!" Dai Yao: ?

?

?

This script is wrong!

Where's the villain we were promised?

How did she suddenly become a saint?

Is this the legendary villain's redemption?

Dai Yao was internally ranting, but on the surface she could only pretend to be calm and put on a mysterious and inscrutable appearance.

Ling Feng and Ling Yun were both stunned; the plot twist was too fast!

Just a moment ago we were cheering for Dai Yao's achievements, and the next second she turned into the Holy Maiden of the Demon Palace?

"Holy...Holy Maiden?" Ling Feng stammered, feeling like his brain wasn't quite working properly.

Dai Yao smiled awkwardly, shrugged, and said with an expression that said, "I'm just as confused as you are." "Well, it was an accident, it was all an accident..." Ling Yun looked at Dai Yao with a worried expression. She felt that things were not so simple.

Elder Yin Yue rose and respectfully said to Dai Yao, "Holy Maiden, please return to the palace with me." Dai Yao took a deep breath; it seemed this trip to the Demon Palace was unavoidable.

She turned to look at Ling Feng and Ling Yun, giving them a slightly apologetic smile: "It seems we'll have to meet up another time."

Ling Feng wanted to say something, but Dai Yao stopped him with a look.

"Take care," Dai Yao said softly, then resolutely turned around and followed Elder Yin Yue and the disciples of the Demon Palace on their way back to the Demon Palace.

Just as Dai Yao was about to disappear from everyone's sight, she suddenly stopped, turned around and glanced at Ling Feng, a mysterious smile playing on her lips, and said, "By the way, Ling Feng, what were you trying to say just now?"

Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, then a blush appeared on his face, and he stammered, "I...I..."
