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

Seeing that Nangong Yan still didn't believe him, Cao Meng offered a suggestion:

"Grandmaster, if you don't dare to use them and don't trust me, then go and sell these sword-nurturing techniques to other people!"

Cao Meng wanted these sword-nurturing techniques to spread so that, when the time was right, he could incite the higher-ups of the Hehuan Sect to attack the Xuantian Sect!

"You bastard, do you think your grandmaster is such a cowardly coward?"

Despite Nangong Yan's tough exterior, she has already made her plans in private.

Later, I'll sell these sword-nurturing techniques to other people and use them as guinea pigs.

After Nangong Yan broke through the void and left to find the seller, Cao Meng released Jin Ning'er and Hong Qi from their restraints, pinned them to the ground, and said coldly:
"You two have damaged the environment; each of you will be fined 500,000 mid-grade spirit stones!"

Those two were gloating the whole time; they deserve to be taught a lesson.

"I've only been born a few days ago, where would I get spirit stones?"

Jin Ning'er was speechless. She thought Cao Meng was out of his mind, asking her, who was only a few days old, for spirit stones.

"This princess doesn't have any spirit stones either!"

Seeing that Jin Ning'er wouldn't give it to her, Hong Qi also chose not to give it to her.

If that traitor Cao has any guts, then kill this princess!
If I just frown, it's because you raised it!
"If you don't have spirit stones, Jin Ning'er, you'll have to work to pay off the debt!"

Cao Meng estimated that Jin Ning'er, with her identity as a three-legged golden crow, was an expert in playing with fire.

Alchemy and weapon crafting are two professions that involve fire; surely one of them has a natural talent?
Even if Jin Ning'er can't become a pill refiner or weapon refiner, I still have ways to exploit her.

I'll refine more empty shells of the Supreme Yang Pearl and have the other party infuse them with the power of the sun!
"Pink-furred fox, 500,000 low-grade spirit stones shouldn't be much for a fox princess like you. You'd better cooperate a bit."

"Or don't blame me for disciplining you and plucking all your fur!"

Although Cao Meng didn't know exactly how many spirit stones Hong Qi had, he knew that with Hong Qi's wealth, taking out 500,000 mid-grade spirit stones would be no problem at all.

Hongqi, hands on her hips, questioned Cao Meng:
"Cao Meng, where were you when this princess was being bullied by this three-legged crow?"

"My feathers have been burned black by this three-legged crow, and you still have the nerve to ask me for spirit stones?"

It's one thing for this traitor Cao to bully me normally, but now his lackeys are bullying the noble Princess Hongqi. Cao Cao must give us an explanation.

"Pink-furred fox, it's been a while since I've beaten you up, are you itching for a beating again?"

Cao Meng then slapped a roasted chestnut at Hong Qi, trying to make her realize her place in the family!
When Hong Qi and Jin Ning'er were fighting, she could initially suppress Jin Ning'er with talismans and treasures.

However, Jin Ning'er got close to her later on, so Hong Qi was unable to use many of her talismans and treasures, and thus suffered a lot of losses.

Thinking of this, Hongqi was filled with rage. Even Cao Cao had never bullied her like this, so why did this three-legged crow dare to lay a hand on her?

"Cao Meng, I can give you 500,000 mid-grade spirit stones, but you have to beat up this three-legged crow for me!"

Hongqi chose to yield, but also put forward her own conditions.

Today, Princess Hongqi must let the three-legged crow know who is the boss in this family.

"Pink-furred fox, do you have the right to negotiate with me? Have you forgotten the agony of being devoured by hearts and souls?"

Cao Meng picked up Hong Qi and gave her a stern warning.

Reminded by Cao Meng, Hong Qi recalled the agony of being devoured of her heart and soul, a feeling worse than death.

Left with no other choice, Hong Qi could only reluctantly take out 500,000 mid-grade spirit stones from the Heavenly Fox Divine Bell!

My precious gemstone! My precious gemstone!
Hongqi was on the verge of tears. She had been beaten by the three-legged crow and was now being extorted by Cao Cao. What fox was as miserable as her?
Seeing Hong Qi crying, Cao Meng finally understood why Emperor Xin had been bewitched by a fox spirit.

Why were the foxes raised by Emperor Xin so obedient, while the foxes he raised were rebellious and always thinking of rebelling?

Hongqi: Cao traitor, the reason this princess is rebelling is because you don't pamper me enough.

If you had spoiled me like Emperor Xin spoiled Daji, would I have needed to think about rebelling all the time?
"Pink fox, open your mouth?"

Cao Meng took out a pill and ordered Hong Qi to open her mouth.

Looking at the pill in Cao Meng's hand, Hong Qi immediately recalled the scene when Cao Meng fed her Gu worms.

Is Cao Cao going to feed himself an even more potent poison, trying to torture himself?
Thinking of this, Hongqi dared not open her mouth. Even though it was Cao Meng's order, she kept her mouth tightly shut!
"Pink fox, this is a good thing, open your mouth obediently!"

Cao Meng was speechless. He wanted to appease Hong Qi, but this pink-haired fox didn't know what was good for her.

Hongqi covered her mouth tightly. How could this traitor Cao possibly give her anything good to eat?

It's probably either poison or an aphrodisiac!
Cao Meng gave Shishi a look, and Shishi immediately understood and restrained Hongqi's limbs.

Cao Meng pinched Hong Qi's small mouth and said in an annoyed tone:

"Pink fox, I'm giving you good food, why are you struggling?"

With Cao Meng's efforts, Hong Qi's little mouth was finally pried open.

"Cao Meng, I was really wrong. Please forgive me. I promise I'll behave well from now on and do whatever you say!"

As Cao Meng pried open her mouth, Hong Qi immediately begged for medicine, because she really didn't want to be forced to drink it by Cao Meng!

"Pink-furred fox, if you give me another 500,000 mid-grade spirit stones, I'll let you go!"

The benefit Cao Meng was preparing to give Hong Qi was too great. The cost price was 200,000 mid-grade spirit stones, and after deducting the cost, the profit was only 300,000 mid-grade spirit stones, which was really too little!

Therefore, Cao Meng wanted to extract another 500,000 mid-grade spirit stones from Hong Qi in order to make more money!
Do you hear what people are saying?
Earning 300,000 mid-grade spirit stones, is that considered a small amount?

You should know that 300,000 mid-grade spirit stones is not a small amount for many Nascent Soul cultivators!
But Cao Meng actually complained that he wasn't earning enough and wanted to earn 800,000 medium spirit stones!

"Cao Meng, I want you to swear an oath!"

For her own safety, Hongqi chose to submit and pay to avoid disaster, but she didn't quite trust Cao Meng, so she needed Cao Meng to swear an oath to guarantee it!
"Pink fox, I swear I won't hurt you today!"

Cao Meng didn't care. He had only sworn to ensure this day would come, and besides, he really had no intention of hurting Hong Qi this time.

Hong Qi, who hadn't reacted yet, saw that Cao Meng had made a vow, so she once again took out spirit stones from the Heavenly Fox Divine Bell.

Hongqi thought that since she had given Cao Meng a million mid-grade spirit stones all day, he would release her and she would be safe.

Little did they know that Cao Meng had already received the spirit stones and was changing his attitude again, so that Shishi could hold him down once more.

"Cao Meng, you bastard! You broke your promise and your oath! You will not have a good end!"

Hongqi tried to warn Cao Meng to keep his oath.

Cao Meng never intended to harm Hong Qi; he was simply offering her benefits first.

Cao Meng stuffed the pill into Hong Qi's mouth, then pretended to tap her a few times to help her forcibly refine the pill!

"Tongzi, open the pet training panel!"

Cao Meng gave Hong Qi an ordinary Rejuvenation Pill, and to avoid being exposed, he immediately summoned the system.

……

Pet training panel:

Divine Beast: Three-Legged Golden Crow (Cultivation: Half-Step Sixth Rank) (Each advancement of a minor realm in the Sixth Rank requires 20 million mid-grade spirit stones!) Divine Beast: Nine-Tailed Cloud Fox (Hong Qi) (Cultivation: Half-Step Fifth Rank) (Each advancement of a minor realm in the Fifth Rank requires 2000 mid-grade spirit stones!)

Gu Insect: Heart-Eating Soul-Devouring Mother Gu (Cultivation: Late Fifth Rank) (Each advancement of one minor realm in the Fifth Rank requires 40 mid-grade spirit stones!)

Spiritual Root: Corpse Fragrance Jade Stamen Flower (Jade Stamen) (Cultivation: Late Fifth Rank) (Each advancement of one minor realm in the Fifth Rank requires 20 mid-grade spirit stones!)

Balance: 411 million mid-grade spirit stones! (Low-grade spirit stones will be automatically converted to mid-grade spirit stones at a ratio of 1:100)
As soon as the pet feeding panel opened, Cao Meng decisively clicked "upgrade" on Hong Qi's page.

"Ding! After deducting 200,000 mid-grade spirit stones, the Nine-Tailed Cloud Fox (Hong Qi)'s cultivation has been raised to the early stage of the fifth rank!"

"Friendly reminder: Current balance: 391 million mid-grade spirit stones!"

That's right, Cao Meng plans to spend some money on Hong Qi in order to entice this pink-haired fox to spend money on him, and then he will act as a middleman!
System: "Host, it's one thing to let your pet raise itself, but you're also going to act as a middleman, taking kickbacks and ripping it off. That's really despicable!"

Even the unscrupulous system couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't resist popping up to mock Cao Meng's behavior.

Honestly, Cao Meng's behavior makes him an entrepreneur who is even better than capitalists!

Cao Meng ignored the system's mockery and instead stared quietly at Hong Qi.

……

As the system successfully deducted the fee, an invisible force entered Hong Qi's dantian.

"Cao Meng, you actually gave this princess aphrodisiacs! You are despicable and shameless!"

"Cao Meng, even if you get my body, you will never get my heart!"

Hong Qi felt her dantian burning, and her blood was like scalding lava.

Hongqi's current condition is too much like that of someone who has taken an aphrodisiac and mistakenly believes that Cao Meng has drugged her with an aphrodisiac!
Cao Meng ignored Hong Qi, that silly fox, and simply watched her changes quietly.

"call!"

Hong Qi exhaled a breath of turbid air, and her demonic power surged, beginning to break through the shackles on her body!
"Crack!"

Hong Qi faintly heard a cracking sound, and the invisible shackles binding her were successfully broken.

At this moment, Hong Qi was no longer a half-step fifth-order demon beast, but a fifth-order transformed demon beast!
As Hongqi became a fifth-order transformed demon beast, her cultivation level soared, and her little fox body began to change as well.

A girl with completely shaved pink hair suddenly appeared before Cao Meng.

Hong Qi, in her human form, possesses naturally captivating yet not bewitching fox eyes; her appearance, figure, and charm are all unparalleled in the mortal world.

"How did I transform into human form? How did I become a fifth-tier demon beast?"

Hong Qi was stunned when she saw herself transformed.

You should know that ever since she was captured by Cao Meng, in order to avoid being harmed by Cao Meng, she took up bed warmer and never seriously cultivated.

According to her original estimate, it would be impossible for her to become a fifth-order transformed demon beast in a short period of time.

It's unbelievable that it has suddenly taken human form.

Could it be because of the pills that Cao Cao gave him?
The taste is kind of like a rejuvenating pill.
But the Rejuvenation Pill shouldn't have such an effect!
"Cao Meng, you're not allowed to look!"

When Shishi saw Cao Meng looking at Hong Qi in her human form, she quickly reached out and covered Cao Meng's eyes.

When Shishi covered Cao Meng's eyes, she not only blocked his vision, but also cut off his possibility of peeking with his divine sense!

Shishi is no longer the naive Shishi she once was; now she has developed a possessive desire for Cao Meng!

"You vixen, put your clothes on right now!"

Shishi sternly rebuked Hongqi. She had never paid attention to Hongqi before because Hongqi could not transform into human form.

She thought to herself that even if Cao Meng was extremely hungry and thirsty, he probably wouldn't lay a hand on a furry fox.

But things are different now. Hongqi has taken human form, and her appearance and figure are excellent.

Especially those fox-like eyes, they are the most captivating and mesmerizing.

Now that Cao Meng is helping the other party transform into human form, he definitely doesn't have good intentions towards them.

"what!"

After Shishi's reminder, Hongqi immediately realized what was happening, screamed, and quickly covered her body.

In a short while, Hongqi was dressed, wearing a pink fur dress that covered her completely.

After Hongqi covered Cao Meng's eyes completely, Shishi released her hand from Cao Meng's eyes.

"She's alright-looking; at least I can take her out in public!"

Cao Meng felt fortunate that Hong Qi wasn't ugly, otherwise he wouldn't be able to take her out in public and would only be able to keep her as a pet.

"Cao Meng, what do you mean by 'not bad'? This princess has a face that's absolutely stunning!"

Hongqi thought about how Cao Cao had already seen her naked, and now he was using words like "not bad" to describe her. Cao Cao was going too far!
Stop being so vain!

Cao Meng then gave Hong Qi a roasted chestnut. Vanity is a disease, and it needs to be cured!

"Cao Meng, I've already transformed into a human. According to your human language, men and women are different, and you shouldn't touch each other. You can't just touch me!"

Hongqi rubbed her head, and to avoid being beaten later, she even quoted a common saying among humans.

"Pink-furred fox, you're not human, you're a fox!"

Cao Meng reminded Hong Qi that this girl had only transformed into a human, not a real human.

The saying "Men and women are different, and should not touch each other" refers to the relationship between men and women.

Foxes, however, are only distinguished by male and female, not by gender!
"You...you~"

Hongqi was so angry she wanted to fight Cao Cao to the death. She might not be human, but Cao Cao was a real dog!

"Cao Meng, let me tell you, even though I have transformed into a human, you can't make any moves against me."

"If you dare to lay a finger on me, I'd rather self-destruct than let you ruin me!"

"Let me tell you, if I die, my aunt will definitely slaughter the Hehuan Sect!"

Hongqi strongly suspects that Cao Meng helped her transform into human form just because he wanted her body.

He was thinking that after transforming himself into a human, he could steal his own primordial yin essence and defile himself.

In order to avoid being harmed, he had no choice but to warn the traitor Cao.

"Stop being so narcissistic. I have plenty of women, all prettier than you. I don't need another vixen like you!"

"Someone like you is only good enough to be my personal maid!"

Cao Meng was speechless; he truly hadn't expected Hong Qi to be so narcissistic.

Does he lack women?

A female demon, a great fairy, a vengeful senior sister, and a pre-destined widow!
It seems that Shishi's feelings for him are also quite special!
Upon hearing Cao Meng's words, Hong Qi breathed a sigh of relief. She was currently safe and no longer needed to fear being harmed by the traitor Cao for the time being. (End of Chapter)
