The Destiny Villainess Wants Me To Work!

Chapter 228: Poor Elder Sister...

Finally, the farce was over.

After understanding Qian Lian’s identity, just as Leng Shuang expected, Su Mo did not reject her. A talent like hers was indeed something he valued. Moreover, Qian Lian’s personality, although somewhat eccentric and unreliable at times, was still acceptable to him.

At the very least, she was straightforward.

So straightforward that even her thoughts practically leaked out onto her face.

Although Qian Lian was still slightly disappointed that her brilliant "becoming Master Su’s daughter" plan had failed, becoming his subordinate was already acceptable enough.

As long as she could learn cultivation and obtain those magical powers, everything was worth it.

As for loyalty?

Oh, please.

She had already been willing to call him "Daddy" earlier.

Did she still need to prove her loyalty anymore?

Meanwhile, Su Mo looked at Qian Lian calmly and spoke:

"For now, join Shuang’s daily training routine."

"Your body is too weak."

"If you want to cultivate properly, your current physical condition is far from enough."

Su Mo could clearly see that Qian Lian’s physique was no different from that of an ordinary internet-addicted shut-in who had not exercised for years.

Pale skin. Weak stamina. Chaotic biological clock. Heavy vitamin dependence.

Her body condition was honestly terrible.

Without cheats, she still had a very long road ahead before officially stepping onto the cultivation path.

At least, Leng Shuang and Zhang Xulin’s cultivation paths clearly weren’t suitable for her current condition.

Still, Su Mo did not plan to invest heavily in her immediately.

Talent alone wasn’t enough.

He still needed to observe her value and loyalty properly first.

Qian Lian, herself, clearly understood her own condition.

However, she did not complain. Instead, she nodded obediently.

"I’ll work hard, Master."

At this moment, she had already made up her mind. Since she had only just joined, she should behave properly first.

Then, as their relationship improves, she would carefully ask Master Su about her concerns.

After all, in her eyes, a mysterious person like Su Mo definitely had solutions to everything.

Su Mo continued calmly:

"After your body training begins, I also want you to help investigate some matters."

He glanced toward Leng Shuang.

"I’ll be leaving for several days soon. Those matters we discussed earlier, including the shipping routes..."

"I want a complete, detailed report by the time I return."

"It’s not a problem, Master." Leng Shuang nodded immediately.

"With Lian here, handling intelligence and investigation work will become much easier."

The moment Qian Lian heard this, her eyes instantly lit up.

"Master!"

She immediately raised her hand enthusiastically.

"Leave it to your Little Lian!"

"Intelligence gathering and investigation are my forte."

While speaking, her chest puffed proudly.

Leng Shuang silently stared at her strangely.

Honestly, she had known Qian Lian for many years already.

Yet she had never seen this woman act so eager to please someone before.

Just how excited was she about cultivation?

"Master, you are going out this time. Is it to chase that guy? Do I need to prepare anything?"

Su Mo nodded lightly before speaking again. "Yes, this time I’m heading toward the Frostspine Mountains. We already know the White Moon Sect’s approximate location. It shouldn’t take much longer before we discover the exact coordinates."

"Frostspine Mountains..." Leng Shuang quietly repeated the name. Then fell silent.

Actually, she also wanted to accompany him. However, she understood her current strength very clearly.

Even those rogue cultivators captured by Master previously. The weakest among them was still stronger than her.

With her current cultivation... What qualifications did she have to enter a place filled with cultivators? Wouldn’t she only become a burden?

Thus, Leng Shuang ultimately suppressed her thoughts silently.

Instead, her resolve to become stronger grew even firmer.

Strong enough to one day stand beside her master and fight alongside him.

Su Mo noticed her slightly distracted expression and casually reminded:

"Also..."

"Stop referring to Ye Chen as ’him.’"

"She’s already a woman now."

"Have some basic respect, alright?"

Leng Shuang’s lips twitched slightly. Inside her heart, she complained:

’As expected of you, Master.’

Qian Lian seemed to have caught another shocking piece of information from their conversation.

Her master is going to a place called White Moon Sect.

This place... Doesn’t it sound exactly like those cultivation sects in the novels?

OMG! I am so curious. I want to see it. I have to go. But how? How should I let Master take me along as well?

Also, Ye Chen..? Isn’t he the King’s Palace Leader? Has he become a woman now? Strange.

But she pushed that thought aside. Her focus was more on how to tag along with Master in his excursion.

She also knew she currently lacked qualifications.

Thus, Qian Lian immediately began thinking seriously.

’How can I convince Master to take me along later...?’

While thinking, her gaze subconsciously landed on Li Mei, who was also quietly staring back at her.

Qian Lian immediately revealed a gentle smile toward the little girl.

After all, this child was her Master’s adopted daughter. Building good relations with her carried only advantages and no disadvantages.

What she didn’t know was that Li Mei was silently looking at Qian Lian with pity.

At this moment, in her innocent little mind, this strange elder sister clearly had something wrong with her brain.

Too pitiful.

Thus, Li Mei quietly took out a candy from her pocket.

Then tugged Qian Lian’s sleeve gently.

Qian Lian froze slightly.

"Hm?"

The next second—

A candy appeared before her.

"For you."

Li Mei spoke softly.

Qian Lian blinked.

Then immediately accepted it with a bright smile.

"Thank you~"

Inside her mind:

’Hehe...’

’Even Master’s daughter likes me already.’

’I remember Master also has a girlfriend.’

’As long as I gain both their favour...’

’My future path will become limitless.’

Li Mei looked at Qian Lian, who suddenly started giggling after receiving a candy.

The pity in her eyes deepened further.

’Poor elder sister...’

’She became this happy from just one candy.’

’Her life before this must’ve been really hard.’
