Sinner of Cultivation World Steals Toxic Female Lead-Chapter 40: A New Understanding

Shaan knew he was in a tough spot.

’Fine, I don’t believe a mere poison pill can stop me, as long as I can take advantage of time, I would secretly find a way to get rid of this poison pill.’

Faking a loser’s expression, Shaan sighed with deep regret.

"Okay fairy, you won....so I just need to eat it?"

"Yeah, eat it fast. I don’t have time for chit-chat."

Yu Yanxie exclaimed urgently.

Biting the bullet, Shaan slowly ingested the pill, it dissolved the second it enterd his mouth.

’Hmm, I don’t feel anything different in my body?’

Shaan was full of question marks.

"Are you already feeling uncomfortable? It’s okay, it’s a minor side effect, and should disappear in some days."

Yu Yanxie laughed out aloud.

"Remember, if you don’t take an antidote by the end of month, you will die of poisoning."

Yu Yanxie seemed to be explaining seriously.

’Fairy, are you sure that was poison? I don’t feel any discomfort?’

But Shaan dare not utter these words even by mistake.

Why would he cut his own legs with an axe by saying so?

"As long as you follow my orders obediently, you won’t suffer!"

"In fact, you should be happy that you can become a subordinate of a capable woman like me!"

Yu Yanxie seemed to be in her own world, after subduing Shaan her mood improved a lot.

"So do I need to do any task?"

Shaan asked perfunctionarily.

"Task.....?"

"Yes, there is indeed one task, I think with your quick pace in cultivation, it should be perfect for you!"

"When this week ends, the sect will sneakily hold a inner-sect promotion tournament, I need you to finish at least top 5 in it so you can easily enter the inner sect."

"Only by finishing top 5 can you get a choice to enter the peak you want, you must choose the Raging Thunder Peak at that time."

"The reason I am saying this tournament is sneaky is because only top ranked people of the outer sect are invited. The quota is limited. So you must find a way to join without invitation."

"Oh yeah, there is a low-level copy of the sect’s eternal flames as the top-reward, if you can get it that’s even better."

Shaan was immediately jolted-awake, he started thinking at a lightning speed.

’Damn, isn’t this the same as the information provided by Qin Miner?’

’Maybe the Goddess of luck is on my side as I already plan to take part in this inner sect promotion.’

"If you can’t even enter the top 5 then forget about getting the antidote for this pill when your body starts getting poisoned by the month’s end."

Yu Yanxie explained everything like she was sure Shaan would definitely win.

Shaan just looked at her like a fool.

"Miss, I think you are having too high expectations from me."

"From my inquiries, all the people taking part in this competition are someone with powerful backings. If I offended so many people by finishing top 5, I am sure that I wouldn’t have a good time even if I managed to enter the inner sect."

"And who knows how strong all my opponents are? As some prominent figures, all of them must be carrying some overpowered treasures or amazing talismans!"

Shaan raised his hands in surrender.

Looking at Shaan’s deflated figure which declared defeat even before the things heated up, Yu Yanxie was full of sneers.

"They have a backer, don’t you have me?"

It was clear, she took this line to heart.

"Miss, but..."

Before Shaan could speak further, Yu Yanxie cut him off.

"They have weapons, you say?"

From her spatial ring, she took out a powerful black sword and threw it at Shaan.

Shaan was baffled.

’Fuck! Isn’t this sword worth 1000 middle grade spirit stones for which we made the bet before?’

’Do finding a backer comes with so many benefits?’

Shaan was overjoyed, this time he yet again made a bloody profit.

Looking at Shaan, who was standing in a daze, Yu Yanxie thought the boy was surely left in awe after witnessing her generosity and show of power.

A woman loves vanity, it’s an inherent quality that can’t be changed.

"Now, can you win?"

This time Yu Yanxie’s voice was full of expectations.

"Win?....even if you want me to assassinate someone, I am ready for it!"

With just a single touch, Shaan could perceive the immense power hidden in the sword.

He straight away guessed- This woman must have lots of good stuff.

So just flatter and keep making empty promises, maybe she is further impressed and drops another treasure?

As expected, Yu Yanxie was delighted by Shaan’s glib tongue.

"Okay, you can leave now!"

After the business was over, Shaan was given the eviction notice.

"But Miss, this task is very important."

"Are you sure he is the right person for this task?"

Cai Mein, who was standing as a mere spectator the entire time, blurted unceremoniously.

She still felt Shaan was not a good person to trust.

But the next second she felt a deathly gaze from her Madam.

"Do I still need a subordinate to teach me?"

Yu Yanxie spoke arrogantly, her stern voice was enough to silence Cai Mein.

In helplessness, she could only chew her next words and apologise profusely,

"I am sorry Miss!"

"This won’t happen again."

Yu Yanxie just gave a little hum.

Shaan who saw all this knew his backer had a short-temper, he better be careful around her so as to not make her lose it.

Yes, he must wait till he is strong enough, till then it’s best to extract as much wool as he can.

With a new understanding, Shaan hastily left Trade House lest something unexpected happens.

He knew his cultivation of Stage 1 Transformation was just a piece of cake against those powerful people, he must learn to hide deeply.

’Hmmm...as soon as I break through small realms, I always end up exposing myself."

"Whether it’s in front of my slave girls or to quickly win this bet, I lack self-control."

"Thanks Yu Yanxie for teaching me this important lesson."

Shaan happily walked back to his cave.

Inside his cultivation cave, he once again re-examined the sword he had just gotten.

"Chasing Dawn!"

"A sword made to shine in the darkest of times.."

"The inscription on it sure looks eye-catching, I hope it’s worth the price."

"Now that I have free time and have already earned lots of spirit stones, I should better fill my storage ring with lots of food supplies."

"That will make my next exchange in the zombie world much easier."

"But I have long squeezed Sabrina’s team of all their zombie crystals, so what should I do?"

"Find a new buyer?....it seems I need to pay a visit to that rumored human shelter near Roorke City."

Shaan’s eyes shone cunningly. freёwebnoѵel.com

While Shaan was chilling inside his cave advancing his proficiency regarding formations and gaining new insights, things were in a mess in the zombie world.

Jasmine’s team was making too much trouble that would surely make Shaan laugh with excitement upon his return.

.....

"So do you like our proposal?"

Jasmine, who had returned to her previous icy image, spoke with a bit of seduction.

"As long as your small team agrees to assimilate into our shelter, you will right away be granted the title of a commander and have at least 20 mortals serving under your command."

"Think about it! You can become a small king in your own rights, with those mortal servants, your life will become so easier."

"Plus, your abilities are very useful, given enough time, it’s even possible to become a Level 4 Evolver, at that time, you can even become the Vice Leader of our shelter!"

Sabrina kept selling empty promises.

Hearing her words, Sabrina’s team subconsciously gasped.

Thinking that her trick was working, Jasmine kept inciting their ambition.

"In this small group, you can only fend for yourself, it’s very hard to advance further."

"You know how hard it is to deal with those mutant zombies, right?"

"But if you join us, with our combined effort we can even take down a Level 4 Mutant Zombie."

Sabrina spoke full of emotion, like she was telling the utmost truth.

Who cares if she tells long lies, as long as she managed to fool these people into joining their shelter, she was sure with their powerful leader and capable elders, these new guys can only end up working obediently for the rest of their lives.

"No, I don’t agree!"

"If we join you guys, we will give up our independence."

Sabrina, was the first to raise her objection.

"Are you the team leader?"

Jasmine, who had seen the small tension and stiffness in their interactions after her arrival, was quick to figure out their situation.

Her question left Sabrina perplexed.

"I...."

Before Sabrina could answer, a mocking tone interrupted her.

"Don’t be so shameless and call yourself our leader!"

Mark walked forward, his voice was full of ridicule.
