Having been given a second chance at life, I choose to join the Demonic Sect!

Chapter 184 My Heart is Dead! (Seeking monthly votes and recommendations!)

At this moment, Shen Siyu was completely disappointed in her father and mother, and her older sister Shen Sixuan was just average.

Although the other party said they would stay with me, it was clear they were just watching and monitoring me, not kneeling down with me!

Shen Sixuan is also Shen Silu's close relative, so she can ask for medicine. Why should she, a sickly person, have to ask for medicine?
There's also Zuo Zhong, her fiancé. Zuo Zhong was originally supposed to marry Shen Siluo.

Because she is a phoenix destined for marriage, the phoenix is ​​unwilling to marry a pheasant, so he has to arrange a marriage for Shen Siluo.

Zuo Zhong is her nominal fiancé, but the person in her heart is Shen Siluo.

"Ha ha!"

Shen Siyu burst into laughter, feeling that her whole life was a joke.

Just as everyone was surprised by Shen Siyu's laughter, her eyes suddenly turned cold, and she said:
"I'll go!"

Shen Siyu felt that her father, Shen Huaxing, and mother, Du Shi, had given her a life, and now she would return that life to them, so that they would be even from now on!
When Shen Siyu agreed, Madam Du was overjoyed and gave her some instructions:
"Siyu, you must kneel down with each step, and absolutely do not use spiritual power, so as to show your sincerity!"

As soon as Madam Du finished speaking, Shen's father, Shen Huaxing, unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, sealing Shen Siyu's dantian.
"This is just in case, so you don't use your spiritual power when you lack self-control!"

Faced with these cold-blooded parents, Shen Siyu's heart died completely.

Thus, under the guise of being accompanied by her elder sister Shen Sixuan and her fiancé Zuo Zhong, but in reality being monitored, she began to climb the mountain, kneeling as she went.

The summit of Xiangyun Mountain...

Cao Meng and Hong Qi were dividing the spoils. With their combined efforts, the man and the fox successfully pried open the tomb's restrictions and looted everything inside.

The human and the fox were about to leave when they happened to witness Shen Siyu's scene.

Hong Qi watched as Shen Siyu knelt down one step at a time, her knees becoming bloody and mangled, and sneered:
"That woman's cultivation is below the Foundation Establishment stage, and she suffers from a serious illness. She's kneeling with every step she takes; she'll probably die on this ten-thousand-step staircase!"

"Even if that woman manages to reach the mountaintop, what good will it do? That alchemist died years ago, and we've already dug up his grave!"

There was indeed a fourth-level alchemist in the Nascent Soul stage on Xiangyun Mountain decades ago. He had gone into seclusion to try and break through to a higher realm, but he failed and died!
To put it bluntly, those who go into seclusion for life-or-death cultivation in the cultivation world are basically those whose lifespan is about to end or whose injuries are too severe.

In this situation, closing oneself off for life and death is basically just waiting to die.

Some sect elders go into seclusion for life-or-death cultivation, but in reality, they are choosing a burial ground for themselves, using the guise of seclusion to help the sect deter enemies.

Cao Meng reached out and pinched Hong Qi's chubby little face, saying:

"Little fox, how about we make a bet? Bet that woman can reach the top of this mountain by kneeling one step at a time!"

Before witnessing this scene, Cao Meng had planned to leave immediately.

Now that they've met, Cao Meng is quite interested. He wants to see if this woman named Shen Siyu can kneel here.
Hong Qi shook off Cao Meng's stinking hand, put her hands on her hips, and said:
"I bet that woman will give up halfway and won't be able to reach the top of the mountain."

"If I win, you take back the Gu poison and give me my freedom!"

Hongqi wanted to take a gamble with Cao Meng and win back her freedom.

"it is good!"

Cao Meng agreed, then asked in return:
"Pink-furred fox, so what if you lost?"

Cao Meng dared to gamble with Hong Qi not because he had great faith in Shen Siyu's perseverance, but because he didn't care if he lost.

At worst, I can just take the Gu back into Hong Qi's body first, then hold her down and feed it back in!

"If I lose, this fifth-tier talisman is yours!"

Hong Qi directly took out a fifth-tier talisman as a wager.

Although she trusted her eyesight, what if something went wrong?
A little gambling is harmless, but excessive gambling is harmful. Just play it in moderation! Cao Meng nodded in agreement. Through his subtle probing over this period, he had also managed to extract some information about Hong Qi. This pink-haired fox was most likely not from the Eastern Region Dao Continent!

"puff!"

After climbing halfway up the mountain, Shen Siyu coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The eldest sister, Shen Sixuan, and her fiancé, Zuo Zhong, wanted to help her up, but after hesitating for a moment, they did not reach out.

Everything was to show sincerity and move the alchemist!

Shen Siyu was too concerned; anyway, her heart was already dead!
When they reached two-thirds of the distance, the white bones of Shen Siyu's mangled legs were clearly visible.

In the path of cultivation, only those who reach the Foundation Establishment stage can be called cultivators; those who do not are merely mortals!

Shen Siyu is only at the Qi Refining stage of cultivation, and is essentially still a mortal with a serious illness. Now, after such exhaustion, she is on the verge of death.

If Shen Siyu collapses, she may never be able to get up again!
Hong Qi panicked when she saw that Shen Siyu had reached two-thirds of the distance.

According to her initial estimate, half the distance was already Shen Siyu's limit, but she managed to reach two-thirds of it through sheer willpower.

In order to secure her freedom, Hong Qi used a secret technique to transmit her voice to Shen Siyu's mind halfway up the mountain:
"Human woman, you will die if you continue!"

"Stop now, and you can save your life; otherwise, you'll die here!"

Upon hearing Hong Qi's telepathic message, Shen Siyu was immediately startled, then murmured weakly:

"This is what I owe them. Once I've paid it back, I'll never owe them anything again!"

Shen Siyu's heart is dead. Now all she wants is to repay what she owes them!

It doesn't matter if I die here, since they gave me this life anyway!
Seeing that Shen Siyu was ungrateful and continued to climb the ranks despite her well-intentioned reminder, Hongqi threatened her telepathically:

"Human woman, I warn you, if you dare to climb to the top of the mountain, I'll eat you!"

Hong Qi had just threatened Shen Siyu telepathically when she paid the price.

"Snapped!"

Cao Meng slapped Hong Qi squarely on the buttocks. The pain made Hong Qi reveal her fierce, triangular eyes, glaring menacingly at him.

"Cao Meng, why did you spank me!"

This bastard beast is taking advantage of me again. I haven't even transformed into human form yet, and this beast is already going too far. What will happen if I transform into human form?
I must escape from this beast before I advance to the fifth tier of transformed demon beast, otherwise I will definitely lose my innocence.

In other words, Cao Meng didn't have mind-reading abilities. If he knew that Hong Qi had so many thoughts running through her mind, he would definitely have pried open her head to see what color it was, since it was so yellow!
"Pink-furred fox, you can't take a joke, can you!"

"If you cause any more trouble, I'll spank you until your bottom is swollen!"

Cao Meng noticed Hong Qi's subtle threat to Shen Siyu and gave her a warning.

Although Cao Meng could cheat if he lost, he naturally didn't want to cheat when he had the option.

In the final stretch, Shen Siyu moved extremely slowly, relying on her own willpower to get up each time she knelt down.

Looking at Shen Siyu's appearance, the eldest sister, Shen Sixuan, felt a pang of pity and said:

"Siyu, take a break!"

"If I were to give up, wouldn't that be a lack of sincerity?"

Shen Siyu did not rest, because she knew that this older sister was not concerned about her, but was afraid that she would not be able to hold on and obtain the elixir for Shen Siluo.
