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

Seeing that Zi Rou'er wanted to renege on her debt, Cao Meng was not afraid, because he still had leverage over her.

"Hey girl, are you sure you want to renege on your debt?"

Cao Meng toyed with the photographic stone in his hand and sneered.

Fortunately, he had been careful and took a picture with a photo stone when he stripped Zi Rou'er naked.

If Zi Rou'er dares to renege on her debt, she shouldn't blame me for being impolite.

"Give me back my photo stone!"

Upon seeing the recording stone in Cao Meng's hand, Zi Rou'er became excited and rushed towards Cao Meng, trying to snatch the recording stone and destroy it!
Zi Rou'er was only at the Golden Core stage; her attack in front of Cao Meng was doomed to fail.

"Little girl, how dare you, a mere ant, fight me!"

Cao Meng pinned Zi Rou'er to the ground and mercilessly mocked her for overestimating herself!
In the path of cultivation, no matter how many realms there are, there are actually only three realms: the Ant Realm, the Fellow Daoist Realm, and the Senior Realm!

Those who are weaker than us are nothing but ants!

Those who are on par with you are your fellow Daoists!

The one you can't beat is naturally the senior!

"You're the one in the ant realm!"

Even when Cao Meng pinned Zi Rou'er to the ground, she still wouldn't behave.

"Auntie, Cao Meng is bullying me! Please help me get justice!"

While resisting, Zi Rou'er cried out for help to her aunt, Zi Xixue.

"Sect Master Zi, we elders shouldn't interfere in the younger generation's playful antics!"

Just as Zi Xixue was about to speak up to stop her, Xia Yulan spoke first.

Don't be fooled by how she often tricks Cao Meng; their relationship is one of love and hate, and no one else can bully Cao Meng in front of her!

To prevent Zi Xixue from ignoring her advice, Xia Yulan even released her cultivation level to warn her!

"It seems that Sister Yulan is indeed at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage, just as Fei'er said!"

Xia Yulan's warning made Zi Xixue's eyes turn cold.

"Little girl, aren't you going to return the spirit stones?"

If it weren't for Zi Rou'er's aunt, Zi Xixue, being there, Cao Meng would have wanted to strip Zi Rou'er naked and spank her again.

"Auntie, save me!"

Seeing that her aunt Zi Xixue hadn't intervened, Zi Rou'er, who was being held down, cried for help again.

Zi Xixue also felt helpless, because she was locked by Xia Yulan's spiritual power. If she made a move, the other party would definitely make a move immediately as well!

"Cao Meng, how many spirit stones does Rou'er owe you?"

Given the current situation, taking action is not feasible, so Zi Xixue can only help Zi Rou'er pay off her debts.

"Sect Master Zi, the IOU totals 15,100,000 low-grade spirit stones!"

Cao Meng took out the IOUs and counted them one by one, giving the other party a total amount!

"Aunt, I don't owe a single spirit stone. These IOUs were all forced upon me by that traitor Cao..."

Zi Rou'er tearfully recounted everything, including how she had been stripped naked and spanked, thus ruining her reputation.

"Cao Meng, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Previously, Zi Xixue had only heard Zi Rou'er say that she had been bullied by Cao Meng, but she never expected that her own niece had been bullied so badly.

Not only was she forced to write an IOU, but her innocence was also tarnished.

"What's there to explain? This little bastard didn't kill you, that's already giving you face!"

Xia Yulan directly sided with Cao Meng's evil deeds.

Nonsense, this little bastard is her man, if she doesn't side with him, who will?

"Judging by the time, it's been half a year since the Longevity Sword Sect's secret realm ended. It's time to pay some interest after such a long time. Let's round it up to thirty million low-grade spirit stones!"

Xia Yulan immediately doubled the price as soon as she opened her mouth.

Xia Yulan felt that she would be letting Zi Xixue down if she didn't take advantage of Cao Meng, since Cao Meng had something on him. Besides, she thought that Zi Xixue, as the sect leader of the Beast Soul Sect, shouldn't be short of money.

As for the fact that Zi Xixue and Duanmu Fei were acquainted, Xia Yulan felt it was none of her business, since she, Zi Xixue, was not familiar with them anyway.

Thirty million low-grade spirit stones!
Cao Meng thought the great demon was ruthless, even more so than himself!
At this moment, Zi Xixue really wanted to ask Xia Yulan who taught her math. Fifteen million, rounded up, is at most twenty million.

How did Xia Yulan manage to scrape together 30 million? Why didn't she just scrape together 100 million?
Zi Xixue could afford to give those thirty million low-grade spirit stones, but she didn't want to give them; she didn't want to be such a victim!

Just as Cao Meng's side and Zi Rou'er's side were facing off, An Yingji realized something was wrong and quickly went in to drag Duanmu Fei out.

As soon as Consort Duanmu came out, she glared at them fiercely.

They were fighting Nangong Yan inside, and instead of helping him, they quietly slipped away. Now they're causing trouble outside, making a fool of themselves in front of Nangong Yan.
"Fei'er, this is really not my fault. It's your disciples Cao Meng and Xia Yulan who went too far!"

Under Duanmu Fei's angry gaze, Zi Xixue, the dignified sect leader of the Beast Soul Sect, cowered like a little woman!
“Master, I admit that I went a little too far, but I saved Zi Rou’er’s life in the secret realm of the Longevity Sword Sect!”
"If my little girl hadn't died at Chi Liyu's hands long ago, asking for some spirit stones wouldn't be unreasonable, would it?"

Cao Meng roughly guessed the relationship between the female demon and Zi Xixue, but the female demon couldn't just act unreasonably for Zi Xixue's sake!

"Xue'er, what do you think we should do about this?"

Consort Duanmu turned her gaze to Zi Xixue, seemingly asking for her opinion, but her attitude was undoubtedly more inclined towards Cao Meng, wanting Zi Xixue to give way to Cao Meng.

"Fei'er, Cao Meng saved Rou'er's life, so it's only right to reward him!"
But he should never have looked at Rou'er's body, and even less should he have used the recording stone to capture the image, thus ruining Rou'er's innocence!

Zi Xixue felt a little upset. She could see Duanmu Fei's attitude all too well, so she had no choice but to back down.

Seeing that Zi Xixue had backed down, Consort Duanmu turned her gaze to Cao Meng:
"You traitor, don't talk to me about interest. Just tell me how much the IOU should be reduced?"

Consort Duanmu wanted Cao Meng to give way a little out of consideration for her and ask for less, as compensation for Zi Rou'er.

"Or should I round it down?"

Cao Meng still intended to give the female demon some face, after all, she was a disciple who rebelled against her master!

"You unfilial disciple, is your master's face only worth 100,000 low-grade spirit stones?"

Duanmu Fei smacked Cao Meng on the head. Her status as the sect leader of the Hehuan Sect was only worth 100,000 low-grade spirit stones. This traitorous disciple wanted to make himself a laughingstock!

If there weren't outsiders around, she would have definitely beaten this traitor to death!

"Cao Meng, here are 150,000 mid-grade spirit stones!"

Zi Xixue directly gave Cao Meng 150,000 mid-grade spirit stones. One mid-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for at least 100 low-grade spirit stones, or even more.

Therefore, Zi Xixue gave Cao Meng 150,000 mid-grade spirit stones, which is more than 15 million low-grade spirit stones!
Cao Meng quickly put away the 150,000 mid-grade spirit stones; these were valuable items!
It's not that the Eastern Dao Continent lacks high-quality spirit stones, but rather that these high-quality spirit stones are controlled by major sects to maintain formations and supply cultivation for Nascent Soul stage cultivators and above.

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for rogue cultivators and cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage to come into contact with spirit stones of grade 1 or higher.

Moreover, for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, using mid-grade spirit stones for cultivation is a waste, so low-grade spirit stones have become the main currency in the cultivation world.

This unspoken rule was jointly established by the top sects of both the righteous and demonic paths!

Cao Meng put away the 150,000 mid-grade spirit stones, then handed the IOU and the recording stone to Zi Xixue, and guaranteed:

"Sect Master Zi, the written agreement and the recording stone are right here. I swear I have absolutely no backup!"

Zi Xixue unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, turning the IOUs and the image-recording stones into dust. She then continued her attack:

“Cao Meng, you have seen my Rou’er’s body and had intimate relations with her, ruining her purity. How do you intend to resolve this matter?” Zi Xixue was not short of 150,000 mid-grade spirit stones, but she wanted Cao Meng to give her niece an explanation.

Of course, since she said that, she had already thought of this explanation for Cao Meng.

"How about I treat her to bubble tea as an apology?"

Cao Meng asked tentatively, while taking out a cup of bubble tea.

"Cao Meng, are you saying my innocence is only worth a cup of bubble tea? I'll kill you!"

Zi Rou'er saw the bubble tea in Cao Meng's hand and immediately flew into a rage, feeling humiliated by Cao Meng and wanting to fight him to the death.

"Rou'er, how did your aunt teach you manners?"

"Although Cao Meng has treated you excessively, he is still your savior!"

Zi Xixue held Zi Rou'er down and tried to persuade her. Although she also found Cao Meng annoying, this was not the time for Zi Rou'er to argue with him. She had other plans.

"Sect Master Zi is truly a reasonable person!"

Cao Meng gave Zi Xixue a thumbs up, then picked up his bubble tea and started drinking.

He originally intended to give this bubble tea to Zi Rou'er as an apology, but since she didn't want it, he could only enjoy it himself!

Just as Cao Meng was enjoying his bubble tea, Zi Xixue spoke up, giving him a shock:
"As the saying goes, a life-saving grace should be repaid with one's own body!"

"Cao Meng, you have ruined Rou'er's reputation. In order to maintain the friendship between the Beast Soul Sect and the Joyful Union Sect, how about you two get married?"

That's right, Zi Xixue wants Zi Rou'er to marry Cao Meng and become Cao Meng's Daoist partner!

Zi Xixue had calculated that there were too many benefits to Zi Rou'er marrying Cao Meng.

Firstly, it can improve the relationship between the two factions, thereby enabling them to advance and retreat together!

Secondly, it can preserve Zi Rou'er's chastity and help her find a husband with good qualities.

The third and most important point is that once Cao Meng marries Zi Rou'er, I will become Cao Meng's elder, and Cao Meng will have to listen to me in the future, which will make things easier for me and Consort Duanmu!
"puff!"

Cao Meng spat out his bubble tea, not because he was weak, but because Zi Xixue's words were too frightening!

Cao Meng wasn't the only one frightened; everyone else was also startled by Zi Xixue's terrifying words.

"Auntie, I don't want to become a Daoist couple with this traitor Cao!"

"Auntie, am I not your own niece? How could you let me walk into the lion's den?"

After regaining her senses, Zi Rou'er refused and questioned Zi Xixue.

She now strongly suspects that Zi Xixue was picked up by her grandfather. What kind of aunt would let her own niece go to the tiger's den?

Zi Xixue rolled her eyes at Zi Rou'er and transmitted her voice from below:
"Silly Rou'er, Cao Meng has only been cultivating for less than two years, and he is already at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage. His talent is terrifying, not to mention that Cao Meng is a Furnace Saint Body!"

What do you mean by "a lamb entering a tiger's den"? I think you're not good enough for someone else!

To put it bluntly, Zi Xixue felt that Cao Meng's talent was probably unmatched even by the founding ancestors of various sects.

If Zi Rou'er were to become Daoist partners with him, it would surely be a great blessing!
If Zi Rou'er weren't his own niece, he wouldn't be so considerate of her.

"Humph!"

Zi Rou'er snorted coldly and shouted:

"I will not marry him!"

Zi Rou'er was adamant; she was an independent woman and didn't need to rely on a man!

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Cao Meng coughed once, then spoke:

"Sect Master Zi, I already have a Daoist partner. Let's forget about marrying this girl!"

Cao Meng declined Zi Xixue's suggestion. Putting aside the fact that the female demon, the great fairy, and the wronged senior sister were all here, he would not agree even if they weren't.

Putting aside Zi Rou'er's bad temper, Cao Meng looked down on her because of her plain figure and lack of any flesh.

"Cao Meng, you're smart to know your place, otherwise you'd be dead in a minute!"

Xia Yulan pinched the soft flesh on Cao Meng's waist and said threateningly.

"Humph!"

"You traitor Cao, you're smart to know your place!"

Zi Rou'er gave a haughty snort; this was the first time she felt that Cao Meng had done something decent!
Zi Xixue looked at her silly niece and disciple and was speechless. Others like Cao Meng look down on you, so why are you so proud of yourself?

"Cao Meng, powerful cultivators don't just have one Daoist partner. It's fine for Rou'er to be your second wife!"

Knowing that Xia Yulan was there, Zi Xixue decided to settle for second best and let Zi Rou'er become Cao Meng's second wife.

"Aunt, how could you actually make me a concubine? I'm going to tell my father, I'm going to tell my grandfather!"

Upon hearing that it was the second wife's wife, Zi Rou'er immediately flew into a rage.

How could she, the dignified young lady of the Zi family and the future sect leader of the Beast Soul Sect, possibly become a concubine or a second wife!
"Second room!"

Xia Yulan sneered, then continued:

"I'm afraid she won't even get a fifth wife!"

As far as Xia Yulan knew, four women in the Hehuan Sect had already consummated their marriages with Cao Meng, and she didn't know how many more were secretly involved.

Zi Xixue Jue actually wants an underdeveloped little girl to cheat on her, how ridiculous!
An Yingji, who was listening in, was frightened by Xia Yulan's words. She now suspected that Xia Yulan had discovered her affair with Cao Meng.

Given Xia Yulan's ruthlessness, would the other party turn her into a spiritual meal?

He admitted that he had cheated on Xia Yulan, but it wasn't his own initiative to seduce Cao Meng. He was forced into it by that bastard junior brother!
"Xue'er, Rou'er is so resistant. As the saying goes, you can't force a melon to ripen. Let's just let this matter go!"

Consort Duanmu also spoke up. Now that things had come to this, she was about to be cuckolded, so how could she not speak up?

Consort Duanmu felt that Zi Xixue had gone too far. After so many years of friendship, she was surprised that Zi Xixue would try to arrange for her niece to cheat on her.

"Fei'er, a forced marriage may not be sweet, but it quenches thirst!"

Today, Zi Xixue has really put aside her pride for Zi Rou'er's sake and for her own.

Cao Meng also felt that Zi Xixue's words made sense, but this gossip could be about someone else, but not about himself!
"Xue'er, this traitor usually hangs out in the Hehuan Sect and even runs a brothel. Who knows how many female disciples he has been involved with!"

"As for his relationship with Rou'er, we need to discuss it further!"

Consort Duanmu politely declined; she was not magnanimous enough to agree to be cuckolded.

"Ugh!"

"In that case, let's leave it at that for now!"

Zi Xixue sighed helplessly. This was the second time that Consort Duanmu had politely declined, which clearly showed that Consort Duanmu did not think much of her niece!
"yeah!"

Seeing that she wouldn't be walking into the lion's den, Zi Rou'er jumped up excitedly.

Zi Xi rolled her eyes at her silly niece and transmitted her voice:

"Silly Rou'er, you're not silly, you've been rejected by that master and disciple. Even if you become the fifth branch of the family, no one will want you!"

Zi Xixue thought Zi Rou'er was so foolish that she, as her aunt and master, was a complete failure!

Even if Zi Rou'er were that foolish, if Cao Meng were his disciple, he wouldn't agree to let Zi Rou'er become Cao Meng's Daoist partner, fearing that foolishness might be contagious! (End of Chapter)
