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

Chapter 27: On the path of a traitor, he goes further and further astray!

After reprimanding An Yingji, Consort Duanmu turned her gaze to Cao Meng and asked:

"You unfilial disciple, it's only been a few days and you've already reached the half-step Golden Core stage! What rare treasures have you been consuming?"

From the moment Cao Meng entered the palace, Consort Duanmu sensed his cultivation level.

A few days later, Cao Meng's cultivation level had increased from the first level of Foundation Establishment to half-step Golden Core, which was incredibly fast.

"You've reached the half-step Golden Core stage!"

An Yingji was shocked when she learned of Cao Meng's cultivation level.

You should know that she has cultivated for many years and is only at the sixth level of the Golden Core stage.

Cao Meng has only been with the Hehuan Sect for about half a month, and he has already reached the half-step Golden Core stage.

An Yingji couldn't even imagine that if Cao Meng continued to cultivate at this speed, he might catch up with her in cultivation at any time.

What if Cao Meng's cultivation level catches up with hers? Will she, as his senior sister, still be able to control him? Who knows, this bastard junior brother might even try to bully her again!
This is really not good news!
Consort Duanmu didn't give Cao Meng a chance to answer. She flashed in front of him and released her divine sense to investigate.

"Eh~!"

Consort Duanmu suddenly exclaimed in surprise:
"Besides the supremely yang, powerful, and extreme energy of the Ten-Day Sacred Body, there is actually another energy in your dantian!"

"This aura is extremely murderous, but it is not evil. On the contrary, it is extremely strong and yang, with an indestructible force!"

"This is the innate Geng metal energy!"

After Duanmu Fei recognized that the aura was Geng metal, she became even more puzzled.

She felt that Cao Meng should not have the innate Geng metal energy in his body, since only those with an innate Geng metal body possess it!

Consort Duanmu sensed something was off about Cao Meng, so she released her divine sense again to investigate him closely.

As she carefully examined the area, Consort Duanmu made a new discovery and immediately exclaimed:

"You actually have the innate Geng Metal body!"

After discovering that Cao Meng possessed the innate Geng Metal constitution, Consort Duanmu became puzzled again.

She remembered that when she examined Cao Meng's physique last time, she only detected his Ten-Day Sacred Body and did not detect any characteristics of his innate Geng Metal Body.

Duanmu Fei couldn't understand how the other party had suddenly acquired the innate Geng Metal body.

Seeing that Consort Duanmu was puzzled, Cao Meng gave her the excuse he had prepared beforehand:
“Master, I think it might be related to the spiritual dish that Uncle Xia made.”

After consuming that spiritual dish, I felt I had received a great blessing, so I cultivated for three days and three nights straight, and my cultivation level skyrocketed to the half-step Golden Core stage..."

Cao Meng simply pushed everything onto the stargazing figure, since he had already explained himself, and whether Duanmu Fei believed him or not was her problem.

"possible!"

Consort Duanmu thought Cao Meng's words made sense, and then, while imagining the situation, she said:

"Perhaps you were born with the innate Geng Metal physique but it just hadn't been awakened. It just so happened that the poisonous food stimulated it and accidentally activated your physique, which is why your cultivation level increased so dramatically!"

An Yingji, who was listening in, felt that something was wrong!

Keep in mind that Cao Meng only took one bite, while I ate a whole plateful.

Cao Meng benefited, but why was he poisoned and rendered useless?
Seeing that Consort Duanmu was still thinking about her terrible cooking while gazing at the stars, Cao Meng, almost without thinking, said:
"Master, why don't you try gazing at the stars? You might just find a stroke of good fortune too!"

Cao Meng got caught in the rain himself, so he thought of tricking others into going out and getting caught in the rain as well.

Is the spiritual food that Xia Yulan makes edible?
Even a fifth-grade poison pill might not be as potent as the poisonous dish Xia Yulan made!

Thinking of this, Consort Duanmu glared fiercely at Cao Meng and questioned him:
"You unfilial disciple, are you trying to use this to poison your master and cripple him as well?"
Then treat your teacher the way you treat your senior sister, okay?

Consort Duanmu felt that Cao Meng was getting a bit arrogant and was going further and further down the path of becoming a traitor.

It hasn't been long since then and this person dared to betray their master. What a rebellious disciple!

"Disciple dare not!"

Cao Meng quickly denied it, after all, he couldn't bear the wrath of his female demon master!
"You rebellious disciple, you're incredibly audacious!"

After scolding Cao Meng, Consort Duanmu turned her attention to her eldest disciple, An Yingji.

"Master!" Under Duanmu Fei's gaze, An Yingji immediately became pitiful.

"Now you know how to play the victim! You knew perfectly well how poisonous Xia Yulan's dish was, yet you still dared to go to her. You deserve it!"

Consort Duanmu was sharp-tongued, but she had already begun to use her divine sense to investigate An Yingji's condition and prepare to treat her.

"Whee!"

When Cao Meng saw that An Yingji had been reprimanded, he laughed gleefully.

Cao Meng's gloating was met with a glare and a rebuke from Consort Duanmu:
"You traitor, stop gloating here!"

"You've gone too far. You took advantage of her vulnerability to touch your senior sister a few times and take advantage of her, and that's one thing."

"How could you be so cruel? You beat your senior sister's buttocks until they were swollen!"

When Consort Duanmu released her divine sense to envelop An Yingji, she already knew about the other's physical condition.

As for the red and swollen handprints on An Yingji's buttocks, Consort Duanmu knew without even thinking who had done it.

This traitor has only been here a few days and he already dared to lay a hand on his senior sister. He's a born scoundrel!
Upon hearing Duanmu Fei's words, An Yingji glared fiercely at Cao Meng, her eyes filled with murderous intent!
She wondered why her buttocks hurt so much, and sure enough, the culprit was that damn junior brother!

"Master, I didn't!"

Seeing An Yingji's murderous gaze, Cao Meng immediately denied it.

I, Cao, am an upright and honorable gentleman. How could I possibly do such a despicable thing?
This is absolutely impossible!

Consort Duanmu rolled her eyes at Cao Meng, giving this treacherous disciple who dared to do something but not to admit it a severe scolding.

An Yingji roared at Cao Meng, saying:

"Cao Meng, you're dead!"

An Yingji had never been spanked before, let alone had her bottom swollen from being spanked.

Having suffered a great humiliation at the hands of Cao Meng, An Yingji vowed in her heart that once she regained her strength, she would beat this bastard junior brother into a pulp.

After comforting An Yingji, Consort Duanmu first gave her a pill to take, and then used her spiritual power to clear the blocked meridians for her!

"puff!"

An hour or two later, An Yingji coughed up a mouthful of foul blood, and at the same time, her cultivation and strength finally returned to normal.

After Duanmu Fei finished doing everything, she instructed An Yingji:

"Don't eat any more of Xia Yulan's poisons in the future. If it happens again, I won't be able to help you!"

An Yingji bowed to Consort Duanmu in gratitude, saying, "This disciple will respectfully follow Master's teachings!"

At this moment, Cao Meng, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly spoke up and reached out his hand to An Yingji:

"Senior sister, now that your strength has recovered, you should be able to open your storage ring and give me the Crimson Refining Furnace, right?"

"You swore an oath with your Dao heart, so don't go back on your word!"

To prevent An Yingji from reneging on her promise, Cao Meng specifically brought up the matter of the oath.

An Yingji glared fiercely at Cao Meng, then took out the Crimson Furnace from her storage ring and threw it to him.

"Take it!"

After throwing the Crimson Furnace to Cao Meng, An Yingji immediately gritted her teeth and said:

"Cao Meng, first you made me eat poisoned food, then you spanked me and took advantage of me, then you teased me, and finally you even tricked my Crimson Furnace. I'm going to settle this score with you properly!"

An Yingji kept a record of every single debt Cao Meng incurred, even though he was a scoundrel among her junior brothers.

An Yingji rubbed her hands together, then slowly said:
"Cao Meng, today I will not only take back this Crimson Furnace, but I will also teach you how to respect your senior sister!"

An Yingji remembered very clearly that her vow did not say she could not take back the Crimson Furnace, so she was determined to do so.

That's a refining furnace worth at least 50,000 low-grade spirit stones, and it's a top-grade third-tier furnace!

We must take it back now!
