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

Chapter 226 The Great Fairy is Back!

Hongqi is feeling very depressed right now. There's something she wants to do, but she's also afraid!
Cao Meng's strength has improved so quickly that Hong Qi also wants to work hard to cultivate and improve her strength.

But Hongqi knew that she was already a fourth-order demon beast. Once she cultivated into a fifth-order demon beast, she would undergo the tribulation of transformation and thus transform into human form!
If she successfully transforms into human form, she will surely be harmed by this human beast and have her purity tarnished.

Therefore, Hongqi was both depressed and worried about this matter!

……

The basic framework of the food delivery group has been established; now it's time to implement and promote it!

In Cao Meng's plan, the promotion will start from three aspects: first, Wanbaoge, which is responsible for selling the Wenxianji; second, the canteen; and third, Xuewangmicheng!

The relationship between these three can be described as mutually reinforcing.

The Wenxianji is not yet available on the market. When the canteen and Xuewangmicheng promote their takeout groups, it is equivalent to promoting the Wenxianji!

Wanbaoge, which is responsible for selling the Wenxianji, will teach buyers how to use it and help them join Cao Meng's takeout group.

The food delivery group allows members to directly order bubble tea and pearls, thereby increasing group member engagement!
Although this round wasn't perfect and the fishing net wasn't dense enough, it was still enough for Cao Meng to catch a wave of fish!
……

In the days that followed, while the great demon and the female demon were away, Cao Meng spent his days refining the Immortal Inquiry Technique and the Supreme Yang Pearl, and his nights discussing life and cultivating with his vengeful senior sister!
Under Cao Meng's complete tutelage, An Yingji refined the essence time and time again, and her half-step Nascent Soul cultivation had reached its limit, ready to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

An Yingji is going into seclusion to prepare for condensing her Nascent Soul, which means Cao Meng will be unable to help his sister, Yuanzhong, cultivate during this period!

"Do you want me to protect you?"

An Yingji was discussing her seclusion with Cao Meng, but Cao Meng, fearing for his sister's safety, wanted to protect her.

"It's just condensing a Nascent Soul, right? I don't need your help to protect me!"

An Yingji refused Cao Meng's request. She was already 80% confident in achieving Nascent Soul status, but it would be dangerous to let this beastly junior brother protect her!
What if this beastly junior brother loses control while protecting me and picks me up to do something bad? Then I'll be completely doomed!
Just as An Yingji and Cao Meng were discussing their seclusion, their grandmaster, Nangong Yan, appeared.

Nangong Yan stayed in the palace at the summit for several days. She was very unhappy during these days because her two grand-disciples, An Yingji and Cao Meng, did not come to pay their respects!
It's understandable that An Yingji might not know that her grandmaster is in the palace at the summit!

But Cao Meng, that little rascal, knew perfectly well that he was in the palace, yet he didn't come to pay his respects. He had no respect for his teacher whatsoever, just like that rebellious disciple, Consort Duanmu!
"I've met Master!"

An Yingji and Cao Meng, the two senior and junior disciples, bowed to their grandmaster, Nangong Yan.

Compared to An Yingji's respect, Cao Meng was unwilling.

If he weren't afraid of getting beaten up, he really wouldn't want to bow to this petty grandmaster!

"No gift!"

As soon as Nangong Yan spoke, An Yingji and Cao Meng immediately dispensed with formalities. Nangong Yan glared at Cao Meng and scolded him:
"You little rascal, I told Yingji to dispense with the formalities, not you to!"

Nangong Yan had seen how reluctant Cao Meng was to bow earlier, so it was no wonder she wouldn't give a kind look to such a treacherous and disrespectful person!

After reprimanding Cao Meng, Nangong Yan turned to An Yingji and said:

"Yingji, Suqin Peak will still need you in the future. As for that rebellious disciple Duanmu Fei and that little rascal, I can't count on them!"

Nangong Yan felt that Duanmu Fei and Cao Meng, master and disciple, were useless, and it was basically impossible to rely on them to revitalize Suqin Peak.

The responsibility for revitalizing Suqin Peak still falls on the slightly more reliable An Yingji.

"Yingji, your master has high hopes for you. Your master believes that you will definitely be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage within a hundred years!"

Given An Yingji's aptitude, Nangong Yan estimated that it shouldn't be a problem for her to become a Nascent Soul cultivator within a hundred years!

"Pfft!"

Cao Meng couldn't help but chuckle. A hundred years?

In a hundred years, he might have already ascended to immortality.

"You little brat, is that so funny?"

Nangong Yan glared fiercely at Cao Meng with her beautiful eyes. Was this little rascal deliberately going against her?

To ease the awkwardness, Cao Meng could only offer an explanation:
"Grandmaster, I suddenly remembered that my cat had kittens, eight of them!"

Hongqi: I'm a cat? I'm a fox, you're the cat!
You just gave birth to eight babies!
Cao Meng's explanation immediately displeased An Yingji. Didn't she know that others might not?

Cao Meng didn't own a cat at all; this bastard junior brother was just mocking him.

"Junior brother, what right do you have to laugh at me when your cultivation level was obtained through dual cultivation?"

An Yingji felt that Cao Meng had the least right to laugh at her, after all, this bastard had rapidly improved his cultivation level by relying on dual cultivation and his excellent physique.

Back then, this beast even tried to take advantage of his senior sister in order to improve his cultivation, stealing her primordial yin essence.

"Cough cough!"

Cao Meng coughed and said irritably:
"Senior sister, you're right. I gained my cultivation through dual cultivation, while you earned it through your own hard work!"

Cao Meng didn't even want to expose An Yingji anymore. Wasn't it because this treacherous senior sister was about to advance to the Nascent Soul stage so quickly by cultivating with him and refining his essence?

You should know that during this period, I have been teaching him everything I know, feeding him until he was completely satisfied!
Now that wronged senior sister has turned her back on me, she's actually mocking me in a sarcastic way. Women are so heartless!

I'll find time to deal with that vengeful senior sister properly after she advances to the Nascent Soul stage!
Seeing that An Yingji and Cao Meng were at odds, Nangong Yan was quite satisfied. This grand-disciple was indeed on her grandmaster's side.

"Yingji, during this time you have been cultivating with your master at the mountain peak palace, your master will protect you and try to help you become a Nascent Soul cultivator before that traitorous disciple returns!"
"We'll confirm your status as the young master of Suqin Peak then!"

Nangong Yan's words seemed to be directed at An Yingji, but in reality, they were meant for Cao Meng, intended to sow discord among him.

If this little bastard were to give in and hand over the items, his grandmaster would be magnanimous enough to forgive him.

Ha ha!

Soft clothes?

I, Cao Meng, will never back down!

Forget about being called the young peak master. Even if An Yingji becomes the peak master or sect master in the future, I will still be the man behind her, and she will still have to cooperate with me.

Seeing that Cao Meng showed no sign of backing down, Nangong Yan said to An Yingji:
"Yingji, you should keep your distance from this little rascal from the future, lest you be corrupted by him!"

An Yingji gave a helpless bitter smile. She also wanted to stay away from Cao Meng, that bastard, but the problem was that she had already been ruined by this beastly junior brother and had become his little lover.

And so, Nangong Yan took An Yingji to the palace at the summit of Suqin Peak to cultivate and help her condense her nascent soul!

As time went by, the Wenxianji (a type of mobile phone) began to enter the market, and food delivery groups also began to operate.

Hongqi is a loyal user of the food delivery group, mainly because she discovered that she doesn't need to pay spirit stones when ordering through the group.

It wasn't that Princess Hongqi was unwilling to give it; rather, she had already given it to him long ago. That bastard Cao Meng had swindled her out of millions of low-grade spirit stones, and she had to get it back through the food delivery group to recoup her losses.

Hongqi is Cao Meng's pet mount, and everyone in the canteen knows that. Given Cao Meng's relationship with the canteen, it's not easy for the female cultivators delivering goods to ask Hongqi for spirit stones!

With An Yingji absent, Cao Meng spent his days refining the Supreme Yang Pearl and seeking divine guidance, but he couldn't find any joy at night. He even secretly went to Wanqi Peak to look for Yinghuai, but he couldn't find her!

As for making a move on Shishi, Cao Meng felt that she was as pure as a blank sheet of paper, and he would feel uneasy about it!
Left with no other choice, Cao Meng could only go to Chunfeng City for fun. You should know that he owns a brothel called Xuantian Pavilion in Chunfeng City.

The business at the Xuantian Pavilion brothel was rather slow, with only twenty or thirty customers.

If the Xuantian Pavilion cosplayers hadn't been dressed as female cultivators from the Xuantian Sect, they probably wouldn't have attracted so many people.

Cao Meng watched his female employees' performance and felt quite pleased.

Although Xuantian Pavilion is currently experiencing a slowdown in business, that's due to environmental factors, as this is the territory of the Hehuan Sect, where there are naturally fewer male cultivators.

Cao Meng didn't care about the slow business; after all, he only opened the Xuantian Pavilion to annoy the Xuantian Sect!

Once the Xianji develops a video-watching function, I'll help them whitewash their image and turn them into internet celebrities, high-end products, and internet goddesses!

Just as Cao Meng was enjoying the song and dance, a female guest arrived at Xuantian Pavilion. She was dressed in a long, snow-white dress.

The other party approached Cao Meng, bowed, and said:

"This humble woman, Bai Yaxian, greets Inspector Cao!"

Bai Ya, being a fairy maiden, had no interest in mirror polishing, so her visit to the brothel of Xuantian Pavilion was naturally for Cao Meng.

"Young lady, what brings you here specifically to see me?"

Cao Meng didn't remember knowing the other person; in fact, he had never seen her before. Therefore, he was a little confused as to why this girl had come to find him.

Bai Yaxian bowed to Cao Meng and said:
"This humble woman is here to discuss business with Prince Cao!"

Although Cao Meng knew Bai Yaxian, Bai Yaxian had known about Cao Meng for a long time, and could even be said to hate him to the core.

This bastard in front of her ruined her plans, causing her to lose a lot of spirit stones, and now she's even being forced to sue for peace!

"Talk about it!"

Upon hearing that Bai Yaxian seemed to have come to deliver spirit stones, Cao Meng immediately perked up!
"I am the manager of Baiyuexuan in Chunfeng City. I have come here on behalf of all the spirit food restaurants in the four guardian cities to see Instructor Cao!"

Bai Yaxian is the manager of Baiyuexuan. In the past, Baiyuexuan's business was so prosperous that it made a fortune every day. Together with other spirit food workshops, it put pressure on the canteen and took away more than 80% of the canteen's business.

But ever since Cao Meng and Xia Yulan got together, they've come up with the Yang Pearl and bubble tea, as well as that disgusting bundled sales method.

The canteen's business improved, while Bai Yuexuan and other spirit food restaurants failed time and time again, and their business gradually declined.

Fortunately, the Supreme Yang Pearl is often out of stock, allowing Bai Yuexuan and other spiritual food workshops to catch their breath occasionally.

She recently received some messages about food delivery groups, and she felt that Cao Meng was trying to humiliate her!
"Speak directly!"

Upon hearing that Bai Yaxian was the manager of Baiyuexuan, Cao Meng immediately lost interest and hoped that the other party would speak more quickly.

Speaking of Baiyuexuan, he still remembered when he first joined the Hehuan Sect, An Yingji invited him to Baiyuexuan for a spiritual meal, trying to take advantage of him again. In the end, this ungrateful senior sister was tricked by him!
In the blink of an eye, so much time has passed.

Bai Yaxian could tell that Cao Meng wasn't very interested, so she didn't waste any more time and went straight to the point:
"This humble woman hopes that Master Cao will provide us with the Supreme Yang Pearl, Pearl Milk Tea, and the Immortal Inquiry Machine. We can cooperate with Master Cao just like the cafeteria did, and we might even be more sincere and more suitable to become Master Cao's partner than the cafeteria!"

Bai Yaxian originally wanted to put up a fight and confront Cao Meng.

But her superiors gave her a death order, instructing her to do everything in her power to cooperate with Cao Meng, even if it meant submitting to him and serving him in bed!

"Who is that senior uncle or master behind you?"

Cao Meng knew that Baiyuexuan and these spiritual food restaurants had powerful backers. After all, without backing, how could they possibly survive in the four major protective cities of the Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon sects?

He remembered his senior sister, who had once been wronged, saying that Bai Yuexuan's backer was a peak master!
"Wine, tea, flowers!"

"Besides that, there are some other branches!"

When Bai Yaxian saw Cao Meng asking, she directly revealed the backers of all the spirit food restaurants in their four guardian cities.

"You guys have some powerful connections!"

Upon hearing about the powerful backers of these Ling Shan Fang restaurants, Cao Meng couldn't help but sigh.

You should know that the Hehuan Sect has a total of eight peak masters, and these Ling Shan Fang (spiritual food workshops) have three of them as their backers, and there are probably more hall masters below them.

"In terms of backing, we can't compare to Cao's personal disciples; after all, we're just servants!"

Bai Yaxian gave a helpless bitter smile. To those powerful figures, they were just servants. Once they lost their value or displeased them, they could be replaced at any time.

Unlike Cao Meng, who is Duanmu Fei's disciple, Xia Yulan's Daoist partner who has transformed into a cultivator, and is even hailed as the future peak master of Suqin Peak.

"Go back and tell those senior uncles and aunts to go and discuss it with my master and Uncle Xia. I don't care as long as they agree!"

Cao Meng politely declined Bai Yaxian's offer. Given his relationship with the Great Demon, how could he possibly supply food to Bai Yuexuan and other spiritual food shops and help them deal with the Great Demon?

After all, if he actually did that, he would be doomed, and the great demon would surely devour him alive!
Bai Yaxian wanted to say something more, but she saw a figure and quickly retreated.

Bai Yaxian's departure did not disturb Cao Meng's enjoyment of the song and dance. At this moment, a slender hand suddenly rested on his shoulder.

"Cao Qin Chuan, you're in high spirits! Didn't I tell you not to go around fooling around?"

Upon hearing this strange and eerie voice, Cao Meng felt a chill run down his spine.

He recognized that voice all too well; it was definitely the great enchantress Xia Yulan.

Cao Meng turned his head and met Xia Yulan's cold gaze, so he asked nervously:
"Why are you back so early? Isn't the airship supposed to arrive in a few more days?"

Cao Meng had specifically inquired about the return journey of the flying boat, and according to what he knew, it would take at least four or five more days for the flying boat to arrive!

The great demon's sudden return has caught him completely off guard!

"Of course, it's so I can come back early and beat you up!"

As soon as Xia Yulan finished speaking, she punched Cao Meng on the head, giving him a big bump.

Who told this scoundrel to disobey me and run off to brothels to have fun behind my back!
Cao Meng felt wronged. He owned the Xuantian Pavilion, and it was perfectly normal for him to have his staff inspect their work.

Besides, he was just enjoying the singing and dancing; he didn't do anything else.

Xia Yulan then dragged Cao Meng away from Xuantian Pavilion. This scene was witnessed by many female cultivators, who showed Cao Meng no respect whatsoever.
