Disguised as a Sickly Beautiful Fox to Seduce the Righteous Fairy - Chapter 12

The duration of the healing process was unclear.

So long that Shen Xi had completely fallen into a deep slumber.

Meng Yingxue gasped heavily, her fingertips trembling slightly.

This fox appeared quite spirited, yet who would have thought she harbored such severe internal injuries? If not for Meng Yingxue’s considerable expertise in healing arts,

she might have suffered backlash from the fox’s wounds today.

Soon after, Shen Xi transformed into a white fox curled up in front of Meng Yingxue, her nine tails spread like a snowy quilt across the entire bedchamber.

To think she had so little wariness—she actually reverted to her true form.

Or perhaps the injury to her dantian was excruciating for this fox?

Just as Meng Yingxue moved to step closer and check on Shen Xi, she found her own spiritual energy drained, her body weak and powerless.

“Indeed, the expenditure was too great, leaving this body so feeble now.”

Her fingers twitched slightly as she silently recited a purification incantation in her mind, causing the thin sheen of sweat on her body to evaporate without a trace.

Her body returned to a dry, refreshed state.

“Host, if you wish to recover your stamina quickly, you can exchange for a ‘Great Vitality Elixir’ here—only ten points required!”

“Host, you currently have two hundred points saved up—feel free to exchange!”

Hearing the voice in her mind, Meng Yingxue immediately agreed.

“Very well, then exchange one bottle for me. If it proves ineffective after trying, can I return it?”

Having wandered the world for years, Meng Yingxue was all too familiar with the tricks of swindlers. More often than not, it was her junior disciples who fell for them, leaving her to recover their lost spirit stones.

“Of course, returns are allowed! Host, we operate on honesty—fair dealings for all!”

“Ten points deducted! Exchange successful!”

A small brocade box then materialized in her hand. Opening it, Meng Yingxue inhaled lightly.

Aside from a faint, medicinal fragrance, she detected nothing unusual.

She still hadn’t entirely let down her guard against this guiding presence in her mind.

Crushing the pill with her fingers, she tasted only a trace.

She intended to test its toxicity the way Shennong sampled a hundred herbs.

To her surprise, her strength gradually returned—without any side effects or toxicity.

Only then did Meng Yingxue swallow the remaining pill whole.

……

Upon waking,

Shen Xi opened her eyes to find her entire body had shrunk several times in size.

Wait—where were her slender fingers?

Why had they turned into soft, furry paws?

With a whoosh, she burrowed out from under the blankets, her fluffy tail brushing against the sleeping figure beside her.

Unlike her usual vigilant self, Meng Yingxue remained deep in slumber, undisturbed even as the fox’s tail swept across her nose.

Heaven and earth be her witness—when the female lead had fallen asleep after taking the pill, Shen Xi swore she had only taken a single sip of her essence!

After all, the female lead was her target for conquest. If she accidentally took too much and ended up draining her to death, wouldn’t that mean mission failure?

Amitabha! I mustn’t dwell on such thoughts! What if the female lead really dies—wouldn’t that render my conquest mission void?

But I have to admit… that burst of spiritual energy from her was quite fragrant.

The fox paws nimbly leaped onto the dressing table. Shen Xi stared at her reflection in the bronze mirror, momentarily speechless.

This body wasn’t even considered tall among the fox clan!

“That’s right, Host. According to this novel’s world setting, foxes reach adulthood at five hundred years old. This body has just hit that mark.”

Shen Xi: “…”

Fine, being petite isn’t a big deal. With magic on my side, I can still bluff my way around humans.

The fox faced the mirror, examining her tail and figure—completely unaware of the woman in plain robes approaching from behind.

Meng Yingxue wasn’t wearing the head disciple robes of the Lingyun Immortal Sect because a rift had already formed in her heart. Perhaps she should have let go of that identity long ago.

“Honored One, are you feeling better?”

“My magic has always been the finest in the sect. If there’s any discomfort, please let me know so I can improve.”

This female lead is totally a black sesame dumpling—sweet on the outside but hiding something dark! All this sweet talk is just to lower my guard, isn’t it?

If the system hadn’t declared her as my future wife, Shen Xi was a hundred percent certain she would’ve tied Meng Yingxue up by now. Forget moving a finger—she wouldn’t even let her open her mouth!

The fox gracefully leaped down from the dressing table and transformed into human form. Shen Xi raised a brow at Meng Yingxue, her voice soft and laced with allure.

“The fairy flatters herself.”

Truthfully, the female lead’s skills were excellent—compared to those half-baked healers she’d captured, she might as well be a miracle worker.

But no way was she going to admit that and inflate her ego!

She had a conquest to complete, but that didn’t mean she’d stoop to simping.

Besides, her standards weren’t that low!

With the millions of words of novels she’d devoured during her hospital stay, seducing a female lead should be a piece of cake.

“Is that so? Perhaps my technique was lacking… If I caused you pain, I apologize.”

“As a healer, I shouldn’t make such mistakes—”

Before she could finish, Meng Yingxue felt a finger tilt her chin up. Shen Xi smirked down at her.

“You really are an odd one. Don’t humans believe in slaying demons on sight?”

She used to.

Meng Yingxue had sacrificed even her sense of self for the righteousness humanity preached.

Her sword unsheathed, demons fled. No monster dared approach her, even amid armies.

Yet in the end, she bore humanity’s eternal condemnation—even her most trusted master branded her a disgrace.

She didn’t need his pity. She needed his trust.

But he never gave it.

So she wouldn’t kneel and beg. From this day forth, the word “master” no longer existed in Meng Yingxue’s heart.

“Then let me be the odd one.”

The words were spoken with such determination that Shen Xi was stunned. She remembered that in the original plot, the female lead was still this righteous and promising cultivator at this point, destined to succeed the Lingyun Immortal Sect’s leader and become the new sect master in the future.

See? This is the frustration of reading serialized novels—you never know what the author will write in the next Chapter.

Shen Xi felt like crying but had no tears. Could this book actually have a bad ending? The female lead and the entire cast dying?

What’s the point then?!

No way, she was going to appeal!!!
