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

Chapter 9 The Senior Sister with No Good Intentions

An Yingji, you just wait!

After making a tough decision in his mind, Cao Meng began cleaning.

Before sunset, Cao Meng finally finished cleaning the courtyard. Except for the lack of daily necessities, it was ready for people to live in.

……

Cao Meng had been practicing meditation all night and was about to go out to find An Yingji to get some daily necessities when she arrived.

An Yingji first tossed Cao Meng an identity jade token, then said:

"Junior brother, from today onwards, you are officially a direct disciple of Suqin Peak of the Hehuan Sect."

To celebrate your official becoming a disciple of the Hehuan Sect, your senior sister has decided to treat you to a spiritual feast.

An Yingji can assure you that she has no ill intentions; she simply wants to build a good relationship with her junior brother.

Although cultivators can abstain from food by taking fasting pills or consuming their spiritual energy, they can maintain the energy their bodies need without food.

However, the vast majority of cultivators do not choose to abstain from grains, but instead choose to consume spiritual fruits and spiritual foods to maintain the energy needed for their physical bodies.

First, consuming too much fasting pills is not beneficial to the body; on the contrary, the resulting erysipelas is harmful!

Secondly, it consumes one's own spiritual power to maintain the energy needed for the physical body, which is something only a fool would choose.

After finally absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and transforming it into one's own spiritual power, who would be foolish enough to waste their own spiritual power?
The physical bodies of cultivators are far stronger than those of mortals, and the food of ordinary mortals cannot satisfy the needs of cultivators.

The meat of demon beasts, along with spiritual fruits, spiritual medicines, spiritual rice, and other foods rich in spiritual energy, can be made into spiritual dishes that not only satisfy the energy needs of cultivators' physical bodies but also aid them in their cultivation.

The birth of spiritual cuisine also gave rise to a side profession in cultivation—spiritual cuisine chef.
To put it bluntly, a spiritual chef is just a cook.

Compared to other side jobs in cultivation, the profession of spiritual chef is relatively easy to enter, so spiritual chefs are quite common.

Although it's easy to get started as a spiritual chef, it also has its own difficulties!
The recipes held by spiritual chefs are generally not passed on to outsiders, so most of them need to create their own recipes.

It can be said that every time a chef creates a recipe, it is a high-stakes gamble.

When Cao Meng heard that An Yingji wanted to invite him to a spiritual feast, he immediately felt something was wrong.

This female demon senior sister doesn't seem like a generous person. In my past life, I chased her once, and she chased me nearly a hundred times in return!

This shows just how petty and vengeful this female demon senior sister is.

I didn't get along well with An Yingji yesterday, and this female demon wants to treat me to a spiritual meal. She must have ulterior motives!
It's either a trap or you need to prepare yourself!

If it means treating yourself to a meal and making yourself pay the bill!

You're more likely to treat yourself to a meal and end up paying for it yourself.

After all, if something happened to her, An Yingji wouldn't know how to explain it to Consort Duanmu!
After careful analysis, Cao Meng concluded that this was most likely the case.

"Okay!"

After much deliberation, Cao Meng finally agreed.

Someone is inviting me to a spiritual feast, so why not go? Especially since it's my dear female demon senior sister!
I haven't eaten since yesterday.

"Senior sister, wait a moment, I need to go to the restroom first."

After Cao Meng finished speaking, he left without waiting for An Yingji's agreement.

A moment later, Cao Meng returned, but the storage ring in his hand was gone; he had hidden it away.

Hey!

Senior sister, as long as I, Cao Meng, don't bring any money, you can forget about me paying the bill!

I'm definitely getting this meal for free!
An Yingji did not plan to take Cao Meng to eat spiritual food in the sect's canteen, not only because the food was bad and the cooking skills were not good, but also because the stewards serving the food were prone to shaky hands!
An Yingji dared to say that those meal-serving stewards would need decades of practice to develop that trembling hand skill.

Therefore, An Yingji decided to take Cao Meng to Chunfeng City, the protective city of the Hehuan Sect, to enjoy the spiritual cuisine!
The journey from Suqin Peak to Chunfeng City, the protective city of the sect, is quite far, requiring sword flight. After An Yingji took out her spirit sword, she discovered a serious problem: Cao Meng hadn't taken out his spirit sword.

So, An Yingji asked Cao Meng:

"Junior brother, can you fly on a sword?"

Actually, An Yingji already had the answer in her heart when she asked this question.

Cao Meng only established his foundation yesterday, just one night ago. How could he possibly be flying on a sword?

Cao Meng gave An Yingji's reply: "No!"

In fact, he can fly on a sword, after all, he has been reborn and has the experience from his previous life.

But he couldn't answer that he could fly on a sword!
If he were to admit that he could fly on a sword, An Yingji would definitely make him fly on a sword on his own.

He had just used the excuse of going to the outhouse to hide his storage ring, which contained the third-tier mid-grade spiritual weapon, the Cloud Flame Sword.

He now has nothing but the clothes on his body.

Moreover, as long as Cao Meng doesn't admit to being able to fly on a sword, An Yingji can only carry him on her sword, and he can enjoy the free waist-hugging package!
"Cao Meng, what use are you if you're only at the first level of Foundation Establishment and can't even control a sword?"

An Yingji grumbled, clearly dissatisfied.

You have to understand that she has never carried anyone on her sword before, and she has to hand it over like this the first time. It's tough!

"I established my foundation in less than half an hour!"

Faced with An Yingji's sarcasm, Cao Meng simply replied with a lukewarm response.

Cao Meng's words were not only extremely hurtful but also incredibly insulting; they were truly devastating!

"What's wrong with reaching Foundation Establishment in half an hour?"

"When I was your age, I had already reached the ninth level of Foundation Establishment!"

After being mocked by Cao Meng, An Yingji was immediately enraged, like a mother cat with its fur standing on end, and retorted directly.

Back when An Yingji was sixteen, she was at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, and was known as a peerless prodigy who appeared only once every ten thousand years!
Cao Meng was only sixteen years old and at the first level of Foundation Establishment. What right did he have to show off in front of his senior sister?

"I established my foundation in less than half an hour!"

Faced with An Yingji's rebuttal, Cao Meng repeated the same statement!

Although my cultivation level is not as high as yours, An Yingji, I can still boast about achieving Foundation Establishment in less than half an hour.

"you……"

An Yingji was so angry that she was speechless. Couldn't this guy have said something different?
An Yingji stopped arguing with Cao Meng, jumped onto the suspended spirit sword, and coldly rebuked Cao Meng:
"Come up!"

After receiving An Yingji's order to "get on the vehicle," Cao Meng jumped onto the spirit sword and wrapped his arms around An Yingji's perfectly curved waist.

Cao Meng's immediate act of hugging her waist caused An Yingji's pretty face to flush slightly, and she coldly rebuked him:
"Who gave you permission to carry this!"

An Yingji had never been embraced by a man before, and now that Cao Meng had taken advantage of her, she was furious.

If Cao Meng hadn't been a disciple of Consort Duanmu, if this guy hadn't been her junior brother, she would have already cleaved him in two with a single sword strike.

"If not around the waist, then where should I hug?"

"Some above, or some below!"

Cao Meng did it on purpose. In his previous life, he was hunted down by An Yingji nearly a hundred times. Now that he has been reborn, he shouldn't think that just because they are now fellow disciples, he can let her go.

Let's collect some interest first, and then we'll settle the other accounts later!
