Disguised as a Sickly Beautiful Fox to Seduce the Righteous Fairy - Chapter 10

What!?

The female lead actually yielded! The female lead actually agreed!

Shen Xi’s ears instantly perked up.

She looked incredulously at Meng Yingxue’s righteous and heroic expression, wondering if she should also pinch herself to check.

Could it be that she stayed up too late last night, poring over the fox clan’s secret manuals, exhausting her mind so much that she was now hallucinating?

“However, I am unfamiliar with the fox clan’s preferences. I hope the Venerable One can offer some guidance.”

Wait a minute, something doesn’t seem right.

Who is the female lead putting on this eager-to-learn expression for? In terms of age, the female lead, already over a hundred years old, is a whole generation older than her!

Does she even know how things are done among the fox clan?

Absurd!

Ding dong, esteemed host, you may direct any questions to this system online. As for the habits of the fox clan in this book, as compensation for your incomplete character setup, we will grant you free access to the fox clan’s privileges.

Shen Xi: “…”

Such a tiny system, yet so full of tricks.

This thing’s true form must be a honeycomb briquette!

But then again, since the female lead has agreed, why should she back down now?

If her target to conquer is the female lead, then with the prey delivered right to her doorstep, how could she possibly let it escape?

If she did, she’d probably go down in history as the most legendary figure in the conquest system.

Standing up, Shen Xi made sure she looked anything but “timid.” She raised her index finger slightly, and the wooden stopper of the purple vial in Meng Yingxue’s hand popped open.

Immediately after, a purple pill landed steadily in Meng Yingxue’s fair palm.

“Take this pill, and then this Venerable One will speak with you.”

Never mind whether she had a plan or not—she had to put on a show first. As for what came after, once the female lead swallowed the pill, she probably wouldn’t even remember what she had done.

Hmm, not bad.

A brilliant plan indeed!

Looking at the pill, Meng Yingxue sniffed lightly and recognized several familiar medicinal ingredients. As the most outstanding senior sister in her sect, she had some knowledge of herbs and naturally understood the kind of unbearable state these ingredients would induce once ingested.

But now, with her innocent junior brothers and sisters in Shen Xi’s hands, Meng Yingxue, as their senior sister and guide, had to ensure they returned safely—unharmed and with all limbs intact.

In the past, Meng Yingxue had heard of the cultivation methods of the Joyous Union Sect and had scoffed at them.

Yet never did she imagine that in this second life, she would tread the same path as them.

Watching the female lead swallow the purple pill, Shen Xi’s ears twitched twice as she sighed inwardly.

The female lead truly couldn’t shake off her “virtuous white lotus” habits. If she were in the female lead’s place, she’d probably be figuring out how to escape right now.

Who’d have time to worry about those hopelessly foolish junior brothers and sisters!

Sigh, host, you’re mistaken.

This kind of personality in the female lead is the perfect opportunity for you to take advantage. By holding her junior brothers and sisters hostage, aren’t you essentially grasping the female lead’s weakness?

The system really was something else—Shen Xi was thoroughly impressed.

Am I really that underhanded? I’m just following the plot. If things proceed naturally, it’s hardly my fault, is it?

Shen Xi had just been about to retort to the system when Meng Yingxue calmly sat down before her. Her composed demeanor made it seem as though she’d never taken that purple pill!

Wait, no—according to the original plot of this unspeakable novel, the Rain Guardian was supposed to be her loyal subordinate, her devotion comparable to that of the only truly loyal black-clad operative in that Detective Conan series.

There was no way the pill she’d given could be fake.

Had the female lead tampered with it somehow?

Shen Xi approached, her fluffy tail lowering warily as she narrowed her golden beast-like pupils, scrutinizing Meng Yingxue up and down.

The female lead was still the female lead—pure and untouchable as a snow lotus from the heavenly mountains.

Except for one difference: the tips of her ears were turning red.

So… the effects were just now kicking in?

“Are you satisfied now, Honored Master?” Meng Yingxue looked up at Shen Xi, slightly breathless. Though somewhat disheveled, she still maintained the dignified bearing of a protagonist.

Truth be told, this version of the female lead carried a faint maternal glow. If not for the sake of her junior disciples, she would never have made such concessions.

This level of devotion practically made one want to exclaim, “Motherly love!”

Still, Shen Xi licked her lips, feeling a twinge of regret.

What a pity she was the villain.

If only she’d transmigrated as the female lead’s junior sister—then she could have properly enjoyed her care and affection.

“Satisfied. I won’t forget my promise to you.” Shen Xi’s voice was cool. “But next… we’ll see how you perform.”

With a snap of her fingers, all the open windows in Shen Xi’s chambers slammed shut. Her fox ears drooped down to brush against Meng Yingxue’s eyes.

The soft, furry sensation made Meng Yingxue freeze momentarily, her fingers unconsciously clutching at her robes.

This feeling was absolutely dreadful.

……

In the end—

Nothing actually happened.

Lying by the bedside watching the unconscious female lead, Shen Xi mused whether the purple pill’s effects had been too potent. The protagonist who’d survived countless poisonings in the original story had now lost her “immune to all toxins” buff.

If that were the case, she really was a sinner!

A thin sheen of sweat had soaked through Meng Yingxue’s undergarments. Even in sleep, she tossed restlessly, trapped in uneasy dreams.

“Witch! You’re nothing but a witch who’s sided with the demonic cultivators! Pah! We were fools to ever trust you, even donating to build your temples!”

“How dare you show your face at our sect, Meng Yingxue! Have you no shame? First joining the demons, now dragging the Lingyun Immortal Sect’s reputation through the mud!”

“Disgraceful! From this day forth, you’re no longer our head disciple! The sect leader has stricken your name from our records!”

Faces twisted with malice flashed through her dreams. Meng Yingxue gasped for air, her fingers searching blindly across the pillow for her lifebound spirit sword.

From beginning to end, from life to death—

That sword had been her only constant companion.

But her groping hands found nothing except something soft and furry.

As her fingers lightly hooked into it, the fluffy strands seemed almost alive, coiling around her wrist in gentle spirals.

Seeing the female lead searching for something, Shen Xi simply offered her own tail.

After all, the woman was asleep—she probably wouldn’t notice the difference.

Feeling her tail being touched by fingers, Shen Xi let out a sigh of relief—she had finally managed to coax the female lead to sleep. Just as she was about to rest, a hoarse voice whispered by her ear, “My apologies, Your Eminence.”

“I didn’t mean to touch…”

In fox clan customs, tails could only be touched by those who had established an intimate bond.

This rule applied to most demon clans.

Meng Yingxue wasn’t unaware of this.

Such scandalous words!

But denying it now would ruin her grand scheme!

“No matter. This sovereign is pleased.”

“However, from this day forth, fair one, you shall be my plaything.”
