142. Starting from Zero to Become a Villainous Supporting Female Character (Part 1)

As the system notification sound faded, Zhou Ke'er arrived at a quaint little wooden house.

He sat in front of a polished bronze mirror, with various small and exquisite boxes on the table in front of him—well, not cosmetics, but various elixirs.

"Oh my, this kind of slutty and cheap type... is really to my liking."

Zhou Ke'er raised her eyebrows excitedly and carefully examined herself in the mirror.

Dressed in a flamboyant red dress, with her cloud-like hair hanging down and a jade phoenix hairpin inserted at an angle, her eyes slightly upturned, complemented by a pair of slightly sharp willow-leaf eyebrows, and her full lips revealing a natural bright red color, she could be described as having skin as smooth as cream and a fragrance as delicate as an orchid.

Yes, her face seems to have the words "seductive slut" written all over it; she's definitely a vicious female supporting character.

He didn't move, maintaining his original posture, leaning lazily against the table. His jade-like arms, shrouded in a light veil, were faintly visible, his figure delicate and boneless, exuding a captivating allure.

"Hmm... Come to think of it, there were no warnings at all, so how did it just start?"

Zhou Ke'er didn't rush to search the room—it couldn't be that in this fantasy setting, people here would still keep diaries, could it? That would be too absurd—but instead, she pondered in her mind: "At least tell me about this character's personality and their relationship with certain main characters, right? Also, where is the story at now? I need to know how far the female lead and male lead have progressed, right? If you don't tell me anything... how am I supposed to play?"

Yes, that's true, it really is a game of wits.

Just then, a soft knock came at the door.

Is the plot starting this fast?

Zhou Ke'er raised an eyebrow, didn't move, and casually said in a very bitch tone, "Come in."

Hey, I have to say, that voice sounds like the most invincible bitch in the universe, sexy with a hint of lazy huskiness, the perfect voice of a seductive slut.

Then, with a creak, the wooden door was gently pushed open.

Zhou Ke'er saw a woman timidly walk in through the bronze mirror and whisper to her in a soft, sweet voice, "This humble one greets Uncle Lan."

...

Upon hearing this address...

This is bad! Could his full name be Lan Yanran? The one who broke off the engagement in that previous module! Why do all those bitches have this name? It can't possibly be the same person!

Yeah, I didn't see a face in that module, so maybe it really is...

That's terrible! Lan Yanran!

"Oh? When have I seen you before?"

Without turning her head, Zhou Ke'er stared at her delicate hands as if admiring a work of art, and casually asked a question in return.

"This...yes, I'm sorry...did Xiao Ke do something to upset Sister Lan?"

Xiao Ke looked slightly aggrieved, but could only lower her head and ask softly, her voice trembling with a hint of a sob, truly pitiful to behold.

Unfortunately, Zhou Ke'er was completely indifferent to this.

Only God has mercy, Zhou Ke'er doesn't! So God is dead, and Zhou Ke'er is still alive (outrageous statement)!

"Junior sister... no, Lan Yanran, is this how you treat juniors? When have we, a reputable sect, ever bullied juniors?"

A detached voice came from outside the door, its calmness seemingly concealing a hint of anger. The man walked in, and seeing that Zhou Ke'er didn't even turn her head, he couldn't help but frown.

This man is the same man who appeared at the very beginning of the film.

Wow, it really is Lan Yanran...

This is terrible, Lan Yanran! Why is she being persecuted?!

Zhou Ke'er couldn't help but silently light a candle for Lan Yanran in her heart.

"No, no, Master, don't blame Aunt Lan. It must be that Ke'er did something wrong..."

Xiao Ke immediately grabbed the man's hand, stared with her big, bright eyes, shook her head, and tried to persuade him.

Oh my god! This guy even stole his name! This is intolerable! He's putting his name on this naive and innocent girl?!

Zhou Ke'er immediately expressed her inability to tolerate this, and burst out with a seductive and shameless laugh, saying in a mocking tone: "Oh? So how should I treat her? I've never seen you protect the other disciples like this before, but now you're showing off your power to me?"

"Do you think I should serve her the way I used to treat you? Just because she's your apprentice? Oh, you're such a good master, my good senior brother!"

They still didn't turn back.

Zhou Ke'er observed the two people's reactions through the mirror.

Speaking of which... Zhou Ke'er still doesn't know what this guy's name is...

This is bad! We might get caught, and it would be terrible if they suspected us of being possessed! With this cultivation setting, there's definitely such a possibility, right?

The man looked at Zhou Ke'er with slight surprise, unable to say anything for a moment.

"Yes, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, Uncle Lan. Please don't be angry with Master, he didn't mean it that way!"

Xiao Ke looked at the man helplessly, then at Zhou Ke'er, and tearfully tried to persuade him.

"Hey~ that's not what I meant."

Zhou Ke'er finally turned around, glancing sideways at Xiao Ke with her alluring eyes. "I'm not angry at all. It's a good thing that my good senior brother is so considerate of his disciple. It's a testament to the sect's traditional virtues~"

"However, I've never seen him care about anyone this much before. You should remember that, as the saying goes..."

Zhou Ke'er stood up, not even glancing at the man, and walked straight past Xiao Ke, whispering in her ear, "If you want to learn, you'll have to sleep with your master first~"

"Hahahahahaha!"

After saying that, without paying attention to Xiao Ke's surprised expression, Zhou Ke'er laughed so hard she almost fell over, and walked out the door with a wild laugh, thoughtfully closing the door behind her.

Outside the gate was a quiet courtyard—it seemed that the sect's dormitory even had a small garden, what a wicked and decadent form of capitalism—all kinds of immortal herbs and spiritual medicines were blooming neatly in the courtyard, and exquisite and elegant tea sets had long been arranged on the stone table in the middle, as if waiting for someone to come and enjoy the fragrance of tea with her.

Hmm... now here's the problem.

Where is Zhou Ke'er going?

Although he suddenly became interested and verbally teased the protagonist for a while, he slipped away after showing off...

But now I don't know what to do.

Well, never mind, let's go outside and see how things go.

Speaking of which, this module has a fantasy/xianxia (fantasy martial arts) theme, does that mean Zhou Ke'er can fly on a sword or something? Riding the wind on a sword, vanquishing demons across the land?

Surely they're not really going to pull off some kind of "Horse Power Three-Stage" thing?

Alright, let's try to fly on a sword first!

Zhou Ke'er walked out of the courtyard, wandering aimlessly while casually drawing the thin sword she wore at her waist.

"Hmm... how do I use it? Is there a mantra or something? Or do I circulate spiritual energy?"

Zhou Ke'er muttered to herself, carefully sensing the situation within her body, but she couldn't feel anything—there was no spiritual energy at all!

That's outrageous! It's supposed to be a fantasy/xianxia (fantasy martial arts) story, yet they don't even tell him how to use spiritual power?! Won't that be disastrous if he encounters danger?!

"Hmm... don't be so pessimistic. Maybe things will work themselves out. I'll just throw the sword out and I'll be able to fly on it right away? Like muscle memory or something..."

Thinking this, Zhou Ke'er immediately focused her energy in her dantian, gathered all her strength, assumed a javelin-throwing posture, and suddenly threw the rapier out.

"Oh!"

A scream was heard, as if someone had been hit by Zhou Ke'er.

"...My teeth are ruined, my teeth are ruined to the point of death..."

Zhou Ke'er broke out in a cold sweat. What was going on? She hadn't seen anyone there at all!

Will I be expelled from the sect for intentionally injuring someone? I need an answer urgently!

143. Starting from Zero to Become a Villainous Supporting Female Character (Part Two)

Zhou Ke'er tiptoed over there and cautiously peered into the bushes where the sound was coming from.

Yes, a broken tree branch, a patch of grass crushed under the weight, and a man who hadn't recovered yet.

Wow, look at the scene...

It seems the man was hiding in a tree, and by sheer coincidence, Zhou Ke'er stabbed him down with her sword...

It's too awful.

Wait a minute... why would someone hide in a tree in broad daylight, inside the sect?!

There's something wrong with this guy!

Thinking this, Zhou Ke'er immediately picked up the rapier that had fallen to the side—although he didn't know swordsmanship or how to control a sword... but having something was better than having nothing.

The man snapped out of his daze, scrambled to his feet, and looked up at Zhou Ke'er warily.

Wow! I didn't recognize him at first because I didn't see his face... Isn't this the guy from the opening sequence who wiped out all of Zhou Ke'er's helpers with his opening AOE attack, the one who looks like a young master of a demonic sect?

This guy is so awesome... how did Zhou Ke'er manage to throw him down with a sword...?

"Damn it! I never expected the Mountain Wind Sect to be so full of hidden talents; even a casual disciple could fool my senses..."

The man immediately took two steps back, looking at Zhou Ke'er warily: "That sword strike just now had no spiritual power at all. Could it be some kind of precious concealment technique?"

"...??"

Zhou Ke'er looked completely bewildered, then shook her head very seriously, "No, I just casually threw the sword. You were clearly too focused on eavesdropping to notice! Don't blame others for being too strong when you're the weak one!"

"What?! Weak?!"

The man seemed to have heard an extremely funny joke. "Interesting! In my entire life, you're the only one who's ever called me weak to my face! Do you even know who I am?!"

"...The young master of the Demonic Sect?"

Zhou Ke'er scratched her cheek and, with an innocent expression, stated her guess in a confident tone.

Hmm... although the sassy woman's innocent expression really gives people the feeling of "I'm just mocking you".
