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

After returning to her residence on Suqin Peak, Xia Yulan gave Cao Meng a thorough dressing-down, scolding him as she did so:

"Cao Meng, you're something else! You actually came up with something like the 'Questioning the Immortals'!"

"Not only did you manage to do it, but you didn't even tell me, and you even handed over the Wenxianji business to An Yingji!"

Xia Yulan was furious that Cao Meng had handed over the Wenxianji business to An Yingji.

Although she didn't say it outright, she knew about the relationship between Cao Meng and An Yingji.

That bastard actually gave the property to his mistress instead of his legal wife; he's utterly shameless!
"Good fight!"

Hongqi cheered and jumped for joy when she saw Cao Meng being beaten.

She was bullied so badly by Cao Meng, and now that bastard has finally been beaten up. What a fitting end to their karma!

Cao Meng glared at Hong Qi, thinking he'd deal with this pink-furred fox later.

"Shishi!"

To avoid getting beaten up, Cao Meng immediately summoned his top-notch bodyguard.

Shishi immediately mobilized the power of corpse energy and frost to separate Cao Meng and Xia Yulan, and then stood in front of Cao Meng.

Shishi had long disliked Xia Yulan; it was this wicked woman who had taken over her Cao Meng, and now Cao Meng wouldn't even let her bite his neck anymore.

"Cao Meng, you want to rebel, don't you?"

When Xia Yulan saw that Cao Meng dared to order Shishi to rebel against her, she felt that her status in the family was being challenged.

"Uncle Xia, this is a pet I'm giving you!"

Cao Meng picked up Hong Qi and threw it directly to Xia Yulan.

You raise a fox for a thousand days, only to use it for one!
If this pink-haired fox can't make the great demon happy, what use is she to me?

"Cao Meng, you bastard!"

Hongqi angrily berated Cao Meng, for this was the second time Cao Meng had used her to seduce a woman.

The first time was with An Yingji and Qin Lin'er, and now it's with Xia Yulan!
Xia Yulan twisted Hong Qi up; at first, she hadn't noticed the pink-furred fox.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a fourth-tier demonic beast, and it seemed to be no ordinary fourth-tier demonic beast!

"Let me go! I'm not with Cao Cao!"

Hong Qi struggled incessantly, but if Xia Yulan pushed her too far, she wouldn't hold back.

At that time, they will simply unleash the Heavenly Fox Divine Bell, regardless of the relationship between Xia Yulan and Cao Meng.

"You're the fox who fought Cao Meng for the fake relic, aren't you?"

Xia Yulan then remembered Hong Qi's identity, after all, Cao Meng had reported to her using a communication jade talisman!
"During the time you were by Cao Meng's side, did you see him fooling around with other women?"

Xia Yulan released Hong Qi and casually inquired about Cao Meng's recent affairs, as she didn't trust anyone else to ask.

"There are many!"

Hongqi felt that her chance for revenge had come. Today, Princess Hongqi would use someone else to kill and rid the people of this scourge!

"For example, his relationship with that Nascent Soul cultivator named Xu Ru was ambiguous, and he even gave her ten Immortal Inquiry Machines!"

"And that woman named Qin Lin'er, the way she looks at Cao Meng is practically drooling!"

Cao Meng also borrowed 100,000 low-grade spirit stones from the other party, attempting to force them to repay the debt through sexual favors!

"And Huang Yu and Zuo Yue Rong from the Zhu Yue Dynasty!"

Hongqi felt that she hadn't made things up, nor had she embellished anything; she had simply given Cao Meng's misdeeds a little embellishment.

Hongqi's false accusation immediately unsettled Cao Meng, who was hiding behind Shishi.

If I really had an affair with them, I would accept it.

But there's no problem; this pink-haired fox is just taking revenge on itself.

"Pink-furred fox, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll throw you into the Beast Taming Hall and make you breed with those demonic beasts!"

Cao Meng sternly rebuked and threatened Hong Qi. Hong Qi had been quite obedient these past few days, and he thought she had completely given in and resigned herself to her fate. But today, this girl actually gave him a big surprise!
That pink-haired fox is finished. I'm going to teach her a lesson!
"He threatened me!"

Hong Qi turned her gaze to Xia Yulan, and she now understood that she had nowhere else to turn.

Now that I have offended Cao Meng so badly, the other party will definitely deal with me.

Only by standing on the same side as Xia Yulan can she resist the evil forces!
"Cao Meng, are you feeling guilty?"

Xia Yulan glanced at Cao Meng with resentful eyes and said something in an annoyed tone.

Of course, Xia Yulan wasn't stupid; she wouldn't be foolish enough to believe Hong Qi's words entirely.

For example, regarding Xu Ru's situation, Xu Ru wouldn't dare to touch her man unless he's tired of living and unafraid of her "life-severing power"!
Of course, just because Xu Ru doesn't have the guts doesn't mean this little rascal doesn't have the guts, after all, this little rascal is incredibly lecherous!
"Uncle Xia, this pink-haired fox is framing me! I and they are innocent!"

Cao Meng felt he had to explain things to the great demon, after all, he didn't want to be labeled a womanizer for no reason!
Is he a womanizer? No, he's just being promiscuous!
"Humph!"

Xia Yulan tossed Hongqi to Cao Meng, then turned and left.

She needed to go back to the cafeteria to check on the situation, and then have a heart-to-heart talk with those women.

She had overheard everything Bai Yaxian and Cao Meng said earlier.

I was wronged by those few bitches back then, but in order to get revenge on me, they supported the spirit food restaurants of the four guardian cities of Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon, and stole the canteen's business.

Now that the cafeteria has finally turned things around, they've set their sights on Zhiyangzhu (a type of pearl) and bubble tea.

This shows that the restaurant is still determined to survive!
Since those guys are going to cause trouble, Xia Yulan isn't going to take it lying down!

Previously, she couldn't defeat them even with her third level of Nascent Soul cultivation, but now that her cultivation is approaching the seventh level, it's time for her to have a heart-to-heart talk with them.

As for what to use to negotiate, that depends on their attitude!
After the great demon left, Cao Meng grabbed Hong Qi by the neck and said:

"Pink-furred fox, tell me, how should we settle this score?"

Although the great fairy didn't punish me, she seems angry, and I'll have to coax her later.

The culprit behind all of this is Hong Qi, that pink-haired fox.

I have to teach this pink-haired fox a lesson today; she's always thinking of rebelling.

"Cao Meng, I was wrong!"

The situation is not right now, so Hongqi decisively admits her mistake and backs down!
Hongqi felt that admitting defeat and making mistakes was not shameful, after all, it was better than being punished.

Honestly, if she had known Xia Yulan was so useless, Princess Hongqi wouldn't have betrayed that traitor Cao!

Cao Meng pinched Hong Qi's fluffy little face and laughed:
"Pink fox, were you feeling smug when you tricked me just now?"

"Cao Meng, I was really wrong. Please forgive me this time. I promise there won't be a next time. I will keep my mouth shut from now on!"

Although Cao Meng was laughing, Hong Qi knew this was the prelude to a storm, so she kept apologizing, begging for mercy, and making promises!
"I have a suggestion: throw you into the Beast Taming Hall, let you breed with those demonic beasts, and then sell your offspring so you can experience the pain of separation from your child!"

Cao Meng looked at Hong Qi with a wicked grin, but what he was really thinking remained a mystery!
"No, no, I'm not an adult yet, I can't breed, I can't have baby foxes!"

Hongqi was terrified and struggled incessantly. She was a fox, not a lowly prostitute who was ridden by thousands. She had to defend her innocence!
If Cao Meng really dared to do that, she would rather die, rather self-destruct, than compromise her chastity and purity as a fox princess!

"Pink fox, you're a rebellious creature, and you can't even breed. What use are you to me?"

"I might as well kill you and turn you into a spiritual dish. Do you prefer stewed or braised?"

Cao Meng had suffered some humiliation at the hands of the great demon Xia Yulan, and naturally he wanted to vent it. Undoubtedly, Hong Qi, who had a rebellious streak, was the most suitable target!

"Cao Meng, you can't kill me, and you can't go too far with me, otherwise if my aunt finds out, she will definitely cut you into a thousand pieces and make your entire Hehuan Sect bleed rivers!" In order to protect herself, Hong Qi once again brought up her aunt.

"What's your aunt's strength?"

Cao Meng had lost count of how many times he had heard Hong Qi mention her aunt. Everyone else used their parents to threaten others, but this pink-haired fox only knew how to threaten people with her aunt.

Does this pink fox not have parents?
Cao Meng also wanted to know just how powerful this guy's aunt was, that this guy could bring her out to scare people!

"My aunt is a seventh-tier transformed demon beast, capable of killing human cultivators at the seventh level of the Integration Realm!"

Hongqi directly revealed her aunt's abilities; whether it was true or not, only she knew.

"A seventh-tier demonic beast corresponds to a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. As long as it's not a Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator, it's fine. I know an old living Buddha from the Western Regions Buddhist Continent. He's a Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator. At worst, I can just hide in the Western Regions Buddhist Continent!"

Cao Meng estimated that there was a high probability that it was true, after all, the Heavenly Fox Divine Bell around Hong Qi's neck was no ordinary spiritual artifact.

Although what Hong Qi said might be true, Cao Meng was not afraid.

Based on the old Living Buddha's words, Cao Meng could roughly guess what the situation was like in the Eastern Region Dao Continent. Even if the pink-haired fox's aunt came to the Eastern Region Dao Continent, she probably couldn't act arbitrarily.

"Cao Meng, I have a spirit stone!"

"If you forgive me, I'll give you spirit stones!"

Left with no other choice, Hongqi had to pay money to avoid further trouble.

"How many?"

Cao Meng had been scaring Hong Qi for so long just to get this pink-haired fox to take out spirit stones.

Hong Qi's Heavenly Fox Divine Bell has a restriction. Cao Meng tried to refine that strange bell, but instead, he was burned by the power of the restriction contained within it.

"I'll give you two million low-grade spirit stones!"

Seeing that it was effective, Hongqi breathed a sigh of relief and casually offered a price as a trial!

"Only two million? Do you think I need that much?"

Cao Meng was a little unhappy. Two million spirit stones were too little; it wasn't even enough for him to level up.

"five million!"

Hong Qi's income increased again. Although she had spirit stones, she didn't want to give Cao Meng too many; she didn't want to aid and abet evil.

"Ten million, you have no right to bargain!"

Cao Meng immediately doubled the amount given to Hong Qi, and he didn't want any more, just ten million!

He didn't know exactly how many spirit stones Hong Qi had, so he could only probe little by little!

If you have a lot of spirit stones, just leave them with her for now, and when you run out, you can take them from this pink-haired fox!
Hongqi hesitated for a moment, but still paid the fine.

Although she was reluctant to part with the ten million low-grade spirit stones, her life and innocence were more important.

After receiving ten million low-grade spirit stones, Cao Meng began to ponder how many spirit stones Hong Qi actually possessed and how he could persuade her to willingly give them to him.

"How many spirit stones do I need to regain my freedom?"

Hongqi asked about this directly, knowing that if she continued to stay by Cao Meng's side, her treasures and spirit stones would eventually be taken away by him.

If possible, she would rather give Cao Meng enough spirit stones at once so that he could take back the Gu worms and give her freedom!

"One hundred million high-grade spirit stones!"

Now that Hongqi had spoken, Cao Meng gave his offer!

"Why don't you go and grab it!"

Hong Qi felt that Cao Meng was taking advantage of the situation. The exchange rate between a high-grade spirit stone and a low-grade spirit stone was 1 to 10,000, so 100 million high-grade spirit stones could be exchanged for at least 1 trillion low-grade spirit stones.

Cao Meng pinched Hong Qi's chubby cheeks and laughed:
"Pink-furred fox, you should be happy, you're worth so many spirit stones!"

Cao Meng deliberately set a difficult price for Hong Qi. How could he possibly agree to let this pink-haired fox redeem herself?

Now all the spirit stones on the other party are already in my possession. I will eventually empty them of them, leaving not a single drop!

"Pink-furred fox, have you ever heard of a death sentence that can be escaped, but a living punishment is inevitable?"

Cao Meng revealed a malicious smile. Hong Qi immediately sensed something was wrong and tried to escape, but she was too slow.

Cao Meng grabbed Hong Qi and slammed her onto the table.

"Cao Meng, I gave you spirit stones, you can't go back on your word?"

Hongqi struggled frantically, trying to defend her innocence!

"Don't worry, I'm just teaching you a little lesson!"

Cao Meng comforted Hong Qi, then instructed Shi Shi:
"Shishi, help me hold this pink-furred fox down, don't let her move around!"

Shishi was very obedient and, following Cao Meng's instructions, held Hongqi down tightly, preventing Hongqi from moving an inch.

"hey-hey!"

After Cao Meng chuckled evilly, he took out his tools and began to commit his evil deeds against Hong Qi!

"No! Stop!"

Hongqi was completely restrained and unable to move an inch; all she could do was cry out!
But Cao Meng and Shishi ignored Hong Qi's cries. Half an hour later, Cao Meng finished and was wiping his tools!
If it weren't for the fact that Hong Qi's hair was too thick and too hard, he could have finished in half a quarter of an hour at most, instead of wasting so much time.

“┭┮﹏┭┮Waaah~”

Hongqi, now free, covered her head, drooped her ears, and looked utterly hopeless. She slumped onto the table and cried loudly.

After wiping his head clean, Cao Meng, holding a large pair of scissors, looked at Hong Qi's bald head and earnestly advised her:
"Don't cry. I gave you this new hairstyle for your own good, so you won't always act impulsively and foolishly!"

That's right, Cao Meng shaved off the pink hair on Hong Qi's head, making her exceptionally intelligent!
"Ha ha!"

After Cao Meng finished speaking, he could no longer hold back and burst into laughter with Shi Shi!
There's no way around it, Hong Qi's bald look is just too funny.

Hearing Cao Meng's mocking laughter, Hong Qi stopped sobbing, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and glared fiercely at Cao Meng.

"Under normal circumstances, I don't laugh at others unless it's really too funny!"

"Hahaha!"

Cao Meng laughed as he spoke, and to be honest, he found Hong Qi's angry expression even funnier.

"You bastard, how dare you laugh at me!"

"You've made me so ashamed I can't show my face in public anymore! I'm going to fight you to the death today!"

Enraged, Hong Qi lunged at Cao Meng, determined to fight to the death!

But Hongqi forgot one thing: she still had the Heart-Eating Soul-Devouring Gu in her body!
As soon as the Gu worm took effect, Hong Qi's body went limp, and she rolled around on the ground in pain!
"Snapped!"

Cao Meng grabbed Hong Qi and slapped her on the buttocks, saying:

"Behave yourself. If you do it again, I'll shave all the hair off your body, then give you medicine and throw you into the Beast Taming Hall to breed with monsters!"

After Cao Meng warned Hong Qi, he also calmed Zi Gu down.

“┭┮﹏┭┮Waaah!”

Hongqi sobbed, knowing she was doomed and her future as a fox was bleak. (End of Chapter)
