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

Chapter 197 Shen Siluo, the First to Stick Her Out!

When the officials arrived at the Nine-Room Court Hall, they breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing that Zuo Hanquan and his faction were still alive.

Since Zuo Hanquan and his group who surrendered are still alive, their chances of survival are not small.

The assembled officials, upon arriving to pay their respects, all knelt and bowed before Cao Meng.
"We greet the esteemed leaders of the Joyful Union Sect!"

Cao Meng glanced at the assembled officials and noticed something interesting.

Some people even brought their female relatives to court, treating the place like a picnic.

Although Cao Meng was somewhat displeased, he did not show it, because his little maid Huang Yu's eyes seemed to be looking at him with a certain intensity.

He wanted to watch the show, to see how it would unfold!
After stroking the red silk in his arms, Cao Meng gestured for the officials to rise and said:
"My Hehuan Sect killed your emperor, but we will give you an emperor in return. I don't want to make things difficult for you. From now on, you will each perform your duties, assist the new emperor, and act according to the orders of my Hehuan Sect!"

Cao Meng wanted to subdue the Zhu Yue Dynasty. If he killed all the officials, who would help govern the dynasty? Therefore, killing all the officials was not a realistic option.

The proverb "kill the chicken to scare the monkey" means that the chicken should be killed, not the monkey.
"We will certainly be loyal to the Hehuan Sect and protect the Zhuyue Dynasty!"

The officials were speechless. Cao Meng's real intention was to establish a new emperor and have them serve him well, like sheep being raised by the Hehuan Emperor!

However, this also relieved the officials, as at least they could survive instead of dying!

Not letting any officials off the hook... I'm a little curious, who is the new emperor?

Was it a direct airdrop?
Or should we select people from among these officials?

If it were among these officials, wouldn't Zuo Hanquan be the first to surrender?
If Zuo Hanquan becomes the new emperor, will those who are not part of Zuo Hanquan's faction be purged?

Cao Meng ignored the gazes of the assembled officials and instead looked at Huang Yu, asking:
Do you know why the royal family of the Moon Chasing Dynasty was destroyed?

"Reporting to Master, Huang Yu is unaware!"

Huang Yu shook her head. Actually, she already knew the answer in her heart, but she felt it was better not to say it!
Following behind Shen Huaxing, Shen Siluo hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward, bowed to Cao Meng, and said:

"Your Excellency, I believe the royal family is foolish. Foolish people deserve to die!"

Shen Siluo chose to take the risk of being the first to speak out in order to get Cao Meng's attention and attract his interest!

Now that Shen Siyu has managed to curry favor with a powerful patron, she is determined to seize him.

She wanted Cao Meng to fall at her feet and become her devoted subject.

With her status as a phoenix descended from the heavens, winning over a man would be a piece of cake!

If she could defeat Cao Meng, she could get him to support her as the new ruler of the Zhuyue Dynasty and become an empress in the history of the Zhuyue Dynasty.

Being the first to stick out certainly attracts attention, but it's also the first bird to stick out that gets shot!

"Paws!"

Cao Meng gave Huang Yu an order to slap the other party, since this was Huang Yu's family member!
Huang Yu was a little stunned. Shen Siluo used to bully her, but now she was the one slapping her. She was momentarily speechless!
When the words "slap yourself" reached Shen Siluo's ears, they meant that Huang Yu should slap herself.

After all, she was naturally beautiful and charming, and loved by all. How could she possibly slap herself? So it must be this bitch who gets slapped!
Men, in the end, still fall at the feet of their own phoenix-like beauties.

"Little sister, didn't you hear the adults tell you to slap yourself?"

If you can't bring yourself to do it, your second sister can help you, just don't hold a grudge against your older sister!

Seeing that Huang Yu hadn't made a move yet, Shen Siluo urged her on. Of course, she was happy to help if Huang Yu did it herself.

After listening to Shen Siluo's words, Huang Yu walked towards her.

Seeing Huang Yu walking towards her, Shen Siluo sneered inwardly. As expected, this woman was born shameless. So what if she managed to curry favor with the Hehuan Sect?
I wanted to slap her, and she actually came over. She's such a jerk!

I promise I won't kill her. At most, I'll just disfigure her so she can never use that slutty face to seduce men again.

Shen Siluo watched as Huang Yu walked up to her. Just as she raised her hand, she heard a crisp "smack" as her face collided with Huang Yu's hand.

Shen Siluo was only at the second level of Foundation Establishment, while Huang Yu, who had been reborn from the ashes, had the cultivation of a half-step Golden Core cultivator. How could she withstand a slap from Huang Yu? She was immediately sent flying backward.

Fortunately, Shen's father reacted quickly and caught Shen Siluo.

Although Hua Xing caught Shen Siluo, her face was already red and swollen from Huang Yu's slap.

After feeling the burning pain on her face, Shen Siluo said to Shen Huaxing and Madam Du with a wronged expression:
"Father, Mother, my third sister hit me!"

You know, she was the one who beat Shen Siyu since they were little, and now Shen Siyu actually dared to hit her, it's simply outrageous.

"Shen Siyu, you haven't come home for a while, which has already caused us a lot of worry, but now you even dare to hit your second sister! You've gone too far!"

Seeing her precious daughter being beaten, Madam Du, without caring where she was or what was going on, immediately flew into a rage and berated Huang Yu.

Cao Meng greeted the members of the Hehuan Sect, signaling them to watch the show in a civilized manner.

At the mention of watching a play, Hong Qi, who had been dozing in Cao Meng's arms, woke up. She took out a few spiritual fruits and prepared to eat them while watching the play.

But before she could even eat the spiritual fruit, Cao Meng snatched it away and shared it with An Yingji, Shishi, and the others, who then devoured it with gusto.

"Cao Meng, you bastard, you actually stole my spirit fruit!"

Hongqi flew into a rage when she saw Cao Meng snatch her spiritual fruit and give it away.

"You're already so fat, eat less, consider it a diet!"

Cao Meng ate the spiritual fruit while comforting Hong Qi.

But in his heart, Cao Meng couldn't help but admire Hong Qi's wealth, because these fruits were all top-grade fourth-rank spiritual fruits.

This pink fox can eat fourth-grade high-quality spirit fruits as snacks, which shows how rich this little fox is. It seems that this pink fox is most likely a princess from somewhere, which is why she is so rich!
"Cao Meng, you're the fat one! Your whole family is fat!"

Enraged by Cao Meng's teasing, Hong Qi, now a fox spirit, scratched at him relentlessly.

Faced with Madam Du's scolding, Huang Yu retorted directly:

"Shen Siyu is long dead. I am Huang Yu!"

Shen Siyu owed the Shen family a debt, which she has already repaid with her life. Huang Yu, on the other hand, owes the Shen family nothing.

Hearing Huang Yu's rebuttal, Madam Du's anger intensified:

"How come you think you can just ignore us, your parents, now that you've curried favor with the esteemed figures of the Joyful Union Sect and changed your name? You truly are an ungrateful wretch!"

Shen's mother, Du, was filled with remorse. She wanted to know what sins she had committed to give birth to and raise such an unfilial and ungrateful daughter!

"Snapped!"

Huang Yu slapped Shen's mother, Du Shi, across the face, and then scolded her:

"Madam Shen, your youngest daughter, Shen Siyu, died on Xiangyun Mountain while seeking medicine. Now, Huang Yu is alive!"
Shen Siyu must have been incredibly unlucky to have such wicked parents as Grand Historian Shen and Madam Shen!

I, Huang Yu, have no father, no mother, and no sisters. My only family is my master!
