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

An Yingji naturally knew that Zi Rou'er was a burden, but she had accepted Zi Xixue's favor.

That's why she was willing to bring Zi Rou'er along. As for how much benefit An Yingji received, only she and Zi Xixue know the truth.

Zi Xixue felt that as her aunt and master, she had worried herself sick over Zi Rou'er, and now she even had to spend spirit stones to buy an opportunity to match Cao Meng and her niece.

I hope my niece will live up to expectations and not let me, her aunt, waste my money.

"You guys pilot the airship, I'm going to take a nap!"

On the flying boat, Cao Meng gave a few instructions to Senior Sister Yuanzhong and Zi Rou'er, since he was there to be Senior Sister Yuanzhong's protector.

The main task of the protectors is to slack off and avoid taking action unless the other party is in a life-or-death crisis.

"Humph!"

An Yingji snorted coldly, since she felt it wouldn't matter whether Cao Meng was there or not.

An Yingji and Zi Rou'er flew their flying boat all the way to their destination, Qianyu Island, to settle down.

The An family is a first-rate power with a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge; they are An Yingji's ancestral home.

An Yingji hadn't been home to visit her parents for a long time, so she decided to travel and gain experience, and then go back to the An family to visit her parents and take care of some things!
……

Qianyu Island has three first-rate powers and twelve second-rate powers.

The An family is one of the three first-class powers, the other two being the Xiao family and the Chu family. The three families have lived in peace for many years.

However, in recent years, the Chu family has risen to prominence, while the Xiao family has declined somewhat, and the An family is also in a bad situation.

Recently, the three major families discovered another secret realm on Qianyu Island.

The relationship between the three families had been strained in recent years, but now, because of the secret realm, the relationship has deteriorated even further.

In order to counter the Chu family, the Xiao family planned to form a marriage alliance with the An family to fight against the Chu family together.

Because of a mistake made many years ago, the An family is in a bad situation, so they agree to a marriage alliance with the Xiao family.

The Xiao family has chosen a marriage partner: Xiao Huohuo, the grandson of the Xiao family patriarch.

There are two people in the An family who meet the requirements for marriage in this generation: An Yingji and her cousin An Susu.

An Susu is older than Xiao Huohuo, while An Yingji is close in age to Xiao Huohuo, making An Yingji the most suitable candidate for marriage.

An Yingji's trip back to the An family this time was to visit her parents and, incidentally, to make the elders' stance clear: she would not agree to a marriage alliance!
She wouldn't have wanted to come back if she wasn't worried about those old folks making things difficult for her parents.

The An family wants to marry An Yingji, the future sect leader of the Hehuan Sect, into a political alliance? Dream on!
If I get really angry, I'll use Anjia to hone my skills and refine my cultivation level!
Do you really think that the An family and Xiao family, the future sect leader of the Hehuan Sect, are pushovers?
After traveling at full speed for several days, Cao Meng and his group finally arrived at Qianyu Island.

Because of the discovery of the secret realm, the three major families have placed Thousand Island under martial law. When the patrolling guards saw the flying boat approaching from afar, they quickly made way for it. As for the inspection, forget about it!
The pressure released by this flying boat is so terrifying that it is obviously not an ordinary item, and its owner must be a powerful person.

How much do these guards earn in a month? What's the point of risking their lives to be loyal to their duty?
To put it bluntly, if they went to investigate and angered the other party, resulting in their deaths, their families would only say one thing:
Those blind bastards deserve to die!

settle down……

"Greetings, Second Miss!"

Although An Yingji had not returned for several years, the guards of the An residence still recognized her at a glance.

An Yingji remained silent. Ever since she learned that her family had the idea of ​​arranging a marriage between her and another family, she had no good feelings towards them.

What's so appealing about the position of the second young lady of the An family, the future sect leader of the Hehuan Sect?
An Yingji even suspected that the old folks in the An family had gone mad from their cultivation, actually coming up with the idea of ​​arranging a marriage for her!
Do these old folks who have settled down here qualify?
Did her master, Consort Duanmu, agree to this?
Given An Jia's performance, it's no wonder that his master has never been willing to support the An family over the years.

Why does the An family want An Yingji to marry into the family?

The main reason was that the elders of the An family received news that An Yingji had fallen out of favor with Consort Duanmu and had no hope of inheriting the position of peak master of Suqin Peak.

In addition, the Hehuan Sect has never supported the An family over the years, which is why the An family elders came up with the idea of ​​having An Yingji marry into the sect.

"Senior sister, your house is quite big!"

Cao Meng was fairly satisfied with the An family. In the future, the entire An family would be the dowry of his unlucky senior sister, which meant it would all belong to him!
Of course, this was all without his knowledge that the An family wanted to arrange a marriage between An Yingji and Cao Meng. If Cao Meng knew that the An family wanted to cuckold him, he wouldn't mind giving his nemesis a buff—the destruction of her family!
"I am a woman, I am not qualified to inherit the An family!"

Judging from Cao Meng's eyes, An Yingji knew without even thinking what this scoundrel junior brother was up to.

The head of the An family was An Yingji's grandfather, who was an extremely patriarchal man.

If An Yingji hadn't become a disciple of Consort Duanmu, she would have been sent to a marriage alliance by her cold-blooded grandfather when she was only sixteen.

"Whee!"

Cao Meng chuckled and whispered to An Yingji:
"Senior sister, when the time comes, I'll help you kill all the other heirs, leaving you as the sole heir. The An family will then be yours and mine!"

Although this is the An family, the An family is only a first-rate power, and Cao Meng is not afraid of them at all.

Because top-tier forces do not have Void Refinement stage cultivators, only Deity Transformation stage cultivators, and the Deity Transformation stage cultivators of top-tier forces are at most no more than the third level of Deity Transformation.

"A mere first-rate family should obediently act like a dog!"

Although An Yingji did not tell Cao Meng about the marriage alliance, she did tell Zi Rou'er.

Therefore, Zi Rou'er had no good feelings towards the An family, which required sacrificing their children for marriage alliances.

Moreover, Zi Rou'er heard from her aunt Zi Xixue that the An family was a family of three masters.

This three-surname slave is not the same as that three-surname slave.

In An Yingji's generation, the An family had three outstanding descendants, but the family head secretly sent the three descendants to three top sects of the righteous and demonic paths respectively.

An Jia's early move was intended to simultaneously curry favor with three top sects, hoping to unify Qianyu Island with their support.

Sending descendants to multiple sects to cultivate is indeed common among cultivation families, but the key point is that the An family has not openly declared itself to be an vassal of any particular force.

One minute Anjia says it's an vassal of the Hehuan Sect, the next minute it says it's an vassal of this sect, and then a moment later it says it's an vassal of some other sect!

Therefore, the behavior of the An family, who served three masters, was disliked by the three top powers, who were reluctant to support this traitor.

When An Jia realized her mistake, she wanted to take sides, but it was too late.

No matter which side An Jia sides with, she will offend the other two.

More importantly, An Jia wants to take sides, but others may not necessarily.

It was precisely because of the An family's wrong decisions in their early years that they lacked the support of top-tier forces.

An Yingji was speechless as she listened to Cao Meng and Zi Rou'er, one wanting to kill someone and the other wanting to tame the An family.

Although she didn't feel a strong sense of belonging to the An family, she couldn't say that to his face!

No sooner had An Yingji returned to the An residence than many people had already received the news.

When An Yingji's parents, An Xiu and Lan Zhi, saw her return, they hurriedly went to greet her.

"Silly girl, why are you back?"

"Didn't I tell you that no matter what the family says, you shouldn't come back? But you just won't listen!"

Although Lanzhi was scolding An Yingji, she did it for An Yingji's own good. She had told An Yingji long ago using a communication jade talisman not to go back to the An family.

Lanzhi thought that as long as An Yingji didn't return from the Hehuan Sect, the elders of the An family wouldn't be able to do anything to her.

As for kidnapping people from the Hehuan Sect, they wouldn't dare even if they had ten times the courage, unless they were tired of living!

"Father, Mother, if I don't come back, those old men will definitely hold a grudge against you!"

An Yingji returned because she was afraid that her cold-blooded grandfather would take his anger out on her parents.

Of course, she didn't believe that her cold-blooded grandfather would dare to force her even after she returned. If the elders of the An family dared to use force, then she shouldn't blame herself for being ruthless.

You should know that Cao Meng, that bastard, came to Anjia with me, along with Shishi.

"Daughter, your grandfather knows that you have lost power in the Hehuan Sect and have no hope of inheriting the position of peak master. He has already planned to arrange a marriage for you, to marry that good-for-nothing Xiao Huohuo!"

"Daughter, you shouldn't have come back. You should leave now while you still can!"

An Xiu sighed helplessly, and then escorted An Yingji away. He didn't want his precious daughter to jump into a fire pit!

"Uncle and Aunt, what's the situation with this arranged marriage?"

Cao Meng, a bystander, sensed something was wrong and quickly inquired about the situation.

"How should I address you, my young friends?"

Anxiu then noticed Cao Meng, Zi Rou'er, Shi Shi, and Hong Qi—the three of them and the fox.

However, he felt displeased the moment he saw Cao Meng, though he didn't know why.

"My name is Zi Rou'er, my father is Zi Dongji, and my aunt is Zi Xixue!"

Zi Rou'er was the first to introduce herself, and An Xiu was stunned when she did.

Who is Zi Dongji? He was the previous sect master of the Beast Soul Sect!

Zi Xixue is the younger sister of the previous Beast Soul Sect Master, Zi Dongji, and is the current Beast Soul Sect Master!

This girl in front of me might just be the next sect leader of the Beast Soul Sect!
Anxiu felt that it was a blessing for his daughter to meet Zirou'er!
"Cao Meng of the Hehuan Sect!"

Cao Meng felt it was better to keep a low profile in front of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, as this would make him appear humble and leave a good impression.

I believe my father-in-law and mother-in-law must have heard of my name, after all, my name is quite famous!

"So you're Cao Meng, the one with the Furnace Saint Body, the bastard who made my daughter lose power? Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson!"

An Xiu knew Cao Meng's name perfectly well.

Anxiu gets furious whenever Cao Meng is mentioned.

Because his precious daughter had lost favor with Consort Duanmu because this scoundrel had usurped her position, no wonder he disliked him from the first moment he saw him.

Seeing that An Xiu was about to fight Cao Meng, An Yingji quickly stepped between the two:

"Dad, you're an elder, can't you show some respect for your elders?"

"Cao Meng, if you dare to lay a hand on me, I'll beat you up!"

An Yingji scolded An Xiu while warning Cao Meng, trying to prevent the two from fighting.

"Uncle, should we just forget about it?"

Cao Meng wasn't afraid of An Xiu, but he didn't want to fight him, since An Xiu was his father-in-law.

If I beat up my father-in-law, I will definitely be unhappy with my unjust senior sister in the future. She will never discuss cultivation with me in the future.

"You little brat, don't accuse me of bullying the weak. I'll give you three moves!"

An Xiu had already taken out his magical weapon. He was wondering whether he should kill Cao Meng, since if he killed Cao Meng, no one would be able to seize power from his precious daughter.

Seeing that An Xiu had taken out the magical artifact, An Yingji quickly said:
"Dad, you can't beat this bastard!"

An Yingji originally didn't want to say these things to hurt An Xiu, but now she had no choice but to.

"Daughter, although this boy is a genius, your father is at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage. My more than three hundred years of cultivation did not come for nothing!"

An Xiu felt that he was being looked down upon by his daughter, so he proudly displayed his cultivation level and tried to intimidate Cao Meng.

"Cao Meng is at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage!"

When An Yingji announced Cao Meng's cultivation level, Cao Meng also released his own cultivation level in response.

As soon as Cao Meng unleashed his cultivation, An Xiu's spiritual power was immediately forced back into his body.

"Ugh!"

"Daughter, it's all my fault for being useless; I can't help you make decisions!"

Anxiu sighed helplessly and put the magical artifact away.

Although he did not formally fight Cao Meng, this test made him realize that Cao Meng's cultivation was indeed above his own.

Anxiu couldn't understand why Cao Meng's cultivation level was so high, even though his cultivation time was extremely short.

"Uncle, Aunt, actually my senior sister and I have a very good relationship. I have never bullied her!"

When Cao Meng bowed to An Xiu and Lan Zhi, he also gave An Yingji a wink.

"Yeah!"

An Yingji didn't even want to talk about it anymore. Cao Meng had bullied her and taken away her virginity. If this wasn't considered being bullied, then what was it?
She was afraid of worrying her parents, otherwise she would definitely expose her scoundrel junior brother's evil deeds.

"Uncle, Aunt, why don't you talk about the marriage alliance?"

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Cao Meng quickly inquired about the important matter.

It's best not to think it's what you're thinking, otherwise you might end up killing someone.

"Ugh!"

"Let me explain the details."

Lanzhi sighed and then recounted the events in detail, while secretly observing Cao Meng's expression.

Based on her own experience, she suspected that her daughter and Cao Meng were definitely not just ordinary fellow students, so she needed to observe them closely!
"These old bastards have dared to bully me, Cao Meng! I will exterminate their entire clan!"

Cao Meng heard half of this and learned that the elders of the An family wanted An Yingji to marry into the family. He immediately flew into a rage and wanted to kill them.

An Yingji quickly grabbed Cao Meng and began to threaten him:

"Cao Meng, calm down, or I'll never talk to you again!"

An Yingji knew how ruthless Cao Meng was. With this scoundrel of a junior brother's personality, he was really capable of making Shishi blood refine the An family.

And this damn junior brother keeps saying he wants to kill those old guys from all ten clans, including his own family of three, and this damn junior brother is also from those ten clans!

They are, after all, my elders. I should at least give them a chance to reflect on their actions!
"How can I stay calm when these old fogies are making you go through an arranged marriage?"

Cao Meng was furious. You see, he, Cao, has always coveted other men's wives. Now, the elder of the An family is going to cuckold him. How could he not be furious?

"Calm down, I'll agree to your request from that time."

There were some things that An Yingji couldn't say aloud, so she could only communicate them to Cao Meng in private.

"real!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Meng immediately calmed down. He had made a request to his senior sister Yuanzi several times, but she always refused. Now, the opportunity had come!

"Ok!"

An Yingji nodded, a slight blush creeping across her face. (End of Chapter)
