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

A mysterious summons, and an adventure begins.

"Yaoyao, what did you feel?" Lingdie asked with concern, noticing the unusual expression on Dai Yao's face. Dai Yao rubbed her temples, trying to capture the fleeting feeling. "It's like... a call? Or like some kind of resonance..." she said uncertainly. The feeling was ethereal yet real, as if a thin thread was pulling at some deep longing within her.

Lingdie looked tense and couldn't help but say, "Could it be that the demonic artifact is acting up again?" Recalling the scene of the demonic artifact's backlash, she still felt lingering fear. After all, almost losing her life was terrifying for anyone. Dai Yao shook her head with a wry smile; she was also worried about this. Although they had temporarily repelled the Shadow Demon and won beautifully, it was like defeating a mini-boss in a game; the ultimate hidden danger was still there. Without eradicating it completely, it would always leave one feeling uneasy.

Dai Yao took a deep breath and said seriously, "As long as the problem of the backlash from the demonic artifact is not resolved, it will always be a ticking time bomb." She knew that in order to completely solve this problem, she had to go to the birthplace of the demonic artifact—the legendary forbidden land of the demonic source.

Lingdie frowned, looking worriedly at Dai Yao and the silent, mysterious figure beside her: "But... the Demon Source Forbidden Land is extremely dangerous, and our current condition..." The previous battle had exhausted everyone, and Dai Yao was even more pale and weak because she had forcibly controlled the demonic artifact.

The mysterious figure seemed to see through Dai Yao's concerns. He took out a pill that emitted a warm glow from his pocket and handed it to Dai Yao: "This is the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill. It can temporarily stabilize the backlash from the demonic artifact and help you recover your vitality." His tone was gentle yet firm, as if telling Dai Yao that he was there for her and there was nothing to worry about.

Lingdie's eyes widened, and she shrieked excitedly, "Wow! Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill! This is a legendary divine medicine! Boss, do you have any more? Give me one too!" The mysterious figure glanced at her indifferently, and Lingdie immediately shrank back, muttering softly, "I was just asking..."

Dai Yao accepted the pill, feeling the warmth emanating from it, and her heart warmed. This pill not only stabilized the backlash from the demonic artifact, but also made her feel the care and support of the mysterious figure. She swallowed the pill, and a warm current instantly flowed through her body, as if her previously weak body had been injected with new vitality.

"A big shot is a big shot indeed, so generous!" Dai Yao exclaimed, feeling powerful again. "Let's go, to the Demon Source Forbidden Land." Her eyes were firm, her tone full of confidence. The mysterious figure nodded, a hint of barely perceptible doting flashing in his eyes.

Xingfeng provokes, and a battle breaks out.

They had only taken a few steps when a boastful laugh rang out from ahead. "Yo, isn't this our great villain Dai Yao? What's up, where are you headed?" As the voice faded, a man dressed in black, with a sinister air about him, appeared before them, followed by a group of menacing henchmen. This man was Xing Feng, a battle maniac who loved causing trouble and was determined to defeat Dai Yao and seize the demonic artifact.

"Xingfeng, what are you up to now?" Dai Yao rolled her eyes. This guy was like a persistent ghost; she could run into him wherever she went. Couldn't she just go on her adventure in peace and quiet?

Xingfeng sneered, his eyes sweeping contemptuously over Dai Yao and the two behind her: "What? Of course, we're here to stop you reckless fools from going to your deaths! The Demon Source Forbidden Land isn't some amusement park. You think you can get in? You're dreaming!"

"Hehe, what business is it of yours where we go? Mind your own business!" Dai Yao retorted without any politeness.

"You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!" Xingfeng's face darkened, and his eyes instantly turned sharp. "Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish!" As soon as he finished speaking, he launched the first attack, and a sharp sword aura rushed straight towards Dai Yao.

"Holy crap! Are they serious?!" Dai Yao exclaimed in surprise, quickly dodging. The mysterious figure flashed and stood in front of Dai Yao, taking the hit of Xing Feng's attack head-on.

"Boss, are you alright?" Dai Yao asked worriedly. The mysterious figure shook his head, indicating he was fine. Ling Die quickly stepped forward to treat him.

"Go! Take them down!" Xingfeng gave the order, and his men swarmed forward, surrounding Dai Yao and her two companions. A fierce battle erupted instantly.

The surrounding rocks were shattered by the magical attack, and the dust raised blotted out the sky. Bystanders kept their distance, afraid of being caught in the crossfire, and while watching the spectacle, they sighed: "These days, the cultivation world is getting more and more chaotic!"

The mysterious figure fought against multiple enemies with ease, but outnumbered, he inevitably sustained injuries. Dai Yao and Ling Die also dealt with their own enemies, but Xing Feng's attacks were too fierce, and they gradually began to feel the strain.

Feigning defeat, launching a desperate counterattack

Just as the battle reached its climax, Dai Yao suddenly stopped resisting, swayed, and then collapsed to the ground with a thud...

"Yao Yao!" Ling Die exclaimed, rushing to Dai Yao's side to anxiously check her injuries. The mysterious figure also looked worried, warily watching the surrounding enemies.

Seeing Dai Yao lying on the ground, Xing Feng laughed triumphantly: "Haha! Dai Yao, you've finally met your match! I thought you were so powerful, but it turns out you're nothing special!" He arrogantly walked to Dai Yao's side, looking down at her with contempt and mockery in his eyes.

"How about that? Now you know how powerful I am, right? If you know what's good for you, hand over the demonic artifact obediently, and I might consider sparing your life!"

Just as Xingfeng was getting carried away with his triumph, Dai Yao, who was lying on the ground, suddenly opened her eyes, a sly glint in them. She abruptly stood up and, with lightning speed, kicked Xingfeng in the stomach.

"Ouch!" Caught off guard, Xingfeng was kicked squarely, letting out a miserable scream. He flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and unable to get up for a long time.

"Holy crap! It's a plot twist!" The onlookers exclaimed in surprise. This was too exciting! Just a moment ago, they thought Dai Yao was finished, but then she made a stunning comeback. It was truly astonishing!

"Cough cough..." Xingfeng clutched his stomach, his face pale, his eyes filled with disbelief, "You...you actually cheated!"

Dai Yao clapped her hands and shrugged innocently: "All's fair in war! You're the one who taught me that!"

The mysterious figure, seeing Dai Yao's bravery and resourcefulness, was filled with admiration and affection. He walked to Dai Yao's side, gently took her hand, and softly asked, "Are you alright?"

Dai Yao felt the mysterious figure's concern, her heart raced, and her face flushed slightly. She gently shook her head to indicate that she was alright. The ambiguous atmosphere between the two grew even stronger, as if pink bubbles filled the air. Ling Die watched this scene with a maternal smile.

After a fierce battle, Dai Yao and the others repelled Xing Feng. But they knew this was merely the calm before the storm… The spirit of the demonic artifact suddenly issued a low warning: “Be careful…”

Guided by magical artifacts, face the danger head-on.

Dai Yao dusted herself off, looking relaxed and carefree, as if the fierce battle just now was nothing more than child's play. "Hey, that Xingfeng guy, he's all talk and no action. He's a total noob when it comes to real fighting!" Lingdie couldn't help but complain while healing Dai Yao's injuries. "Yao Yao, you're really good at hiding your true strength! You're a master at playing dumb!" Dai Yao chuckled, revealing two small tiger teeth: "Keep a low profile, keep it down and make a fortune quietly!"

The mysterious figure looked at Dai Yao tenderly, his eyes full of affection: "Yao Yao, I'm so glad you're alright." Dai Yao blushed slightly under his gaze, coughed lightly, and changed the subject: "Spirit of the Demonic Artifact, do you know the exact location of the birthplace of the Demonic Artifact?"

The spirit of the demonic artifact trembled slightly: "Just ahead... in that valley shrouded in demonic energy." It paused, its tone grave, "That place... is extremely dangerous."

"Danger? What's there to be afraid of! Fortune favors the bold!" Dai Yao exclaimed excitedly, rubbing her hands together as if she were about to rush into the valley. "Let's go! Let's go on an adventure!" Ling Die sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation: "Yao Yao, can't you be a little more careful...?"

Before Lingdie could finish speaking, Dai Yao had already grabbed the mysterious figure and dashed off, moving as fast as the wind. Lingdie had no choice but to hurry after her, calling out as she ran, "Yao Yao, wait for me!"

As they approached the valley, the surrounding demonic energy grew denser, and the air became increasingly oppressive. Suddenly, the spirit of the demonic artifact let out a sharp roar: "Not good! An ambush!"

A dark shadow flew out of the valley at an astonishing speed, heading straight for Dai Yao. Dai Yao reacted quickly, dodging the attack to the side. Upon closer inspection, she realized that the dark shadow was actually a huge demonic sword, its blade radiating a chilling demonic aura.

The spirit of the demonic artifact cried out in terror, "It's...it's the guardian of the demonic sword! Run!"

Dai Yao showed no fear whatsoever; instead, her fighting spirit soared: "Run? Why run? We've come all this way, shouldn't we have a proper spar?" She drew her sword, her eyes sharp, and pointed it directly at the Demon Sword Guardian. "Come on! Let me see just how powerful you are!"

A mysterious figure stood in front of Dai Yao, his expression grave: "Yao Yao, be careful!"

Just then, a chilling voice echoed from the depths of the valley: "Heh, how presumptuous of you..."
