Disguised as a Sickly Beautiful Fox to Seduce the Righteous Fairy - Chapter 14

“That is—host, I have detected that your master has gathered most of the elders from the Lingyun Immortal Sect and will soon arrive via a teleportation array to besiege this area.”

Meng Yingxue’s body stiffened, and the back of her head slammed into the cabinet with a loud “thud.”

Shen Xi, who had been idly toying with the female lead’s lifebound sword, watched as her pearwood cabinet shattered into dust, scattering across the floor.

The female lead’s head… was unreasonably hard!

Her pearwood cabinet had been reinforced with defensive spells—how could it just crumble like that?!

“Demon Lord, please release me first. I have urgent matters to discuss with you…”

Ignoring the pain at the back of her head, Meng Yingxue raised her eyes to look at Shen Xi. For some reason, Shen Xi actually thought she saw a trace of “concern” in those eyes.

She must have eaten too much today—or perhaps ingested some hallucinogenic spirit herb—because there was no way the female lead would ever worry about her.

Come on, the female lead was a righteous immortal maiden! They were polar opposites!

How could she possibly care about her?

Right now, she was probably desperate to break free, slap her into oblivion, skin her fox fur, and feast on her flesh…

Alright, better not dwell on that thought!

“What can’t you say here? There’s only you and me—no one else will disturb us.”

Kneeling down, Shen Xi let her tails drape obediently behind her. She arched a delicate brow, gazing at the female lead’s shimmering, watery eyes, and couldn’t help but feel that this woman was just too easy to bully.

Though the novel portrayed her as formidable, the current Meng Yingxue was still young and naive—like a fresh-faced, clueless college student straight out of society.

Her cheeks were so tender they looked like they could be squeezed to produce water.

“My master… is about to find this place.”

“Could the Demon Lord hide me away?”

Meng Yingxue knew that if she wanted to sever ties with the Lingyun Immortal Sect, she would need the Demon Realm’s help. Otherwise, she stood no chance against them alone—the moment she stepped out of the Demon Realm, they would drag her back to face her master.

After everything that had happened in her past life, Meng Yingxue had no desire to return.

The reason she was willing to stay in the Demon Realm was because of that voice in her head—the one that called itself the “System.”

Rewriting time, reversing centuries—such divine power was beyond the reach of mortals. Even her master couldn’t achieve it.

In her past life, Meng Yingxue had already scattered her soul, using her body as a seal to prevent the demons of the Demon Realm from setting foot in the human world.

Whoever could alter her fate—she was willing to believe in them.

Holy crap!

How did the female lead know about this?!

Shen Xi was baffled. She didn’t recall this happening in the original novel—the female lead had been completely unaware of her master’s rescue attempt.

So how had she suddenly turned into some kind of omniscient detective, knowing everything?

“System, can you check what’s going on? Why does the female lead know her master is coming?”

“This is important—investigate it immediately!”

Shen Xi’s fingers brushed against the ropes binding Meng Yingxue. She looked at her and asked softly,

“Why should I hide you?”

“If I hide you just because you ask, wouldn’t that make me look weak?”

Gazing at the cunning nine-tailed fox demon before her, Meng Yingxue bit her thin lips lightly and spoke as if resigned to her fate: “What must this subordinate do for the esteemed master to agree to hide me?”

Seeing the female lead bowing her head like this, Shen Xi felt an inexplicable thrill.

Don’t misunderstand—she wasn’t some fox demon with strange fetishes. She was simply indulging her villainous acting bug.

Besides, opportunities to bully the female lead like this probably wouldn’t come twice.

“It’s simple—beg me.”

See? When dealing with her romantic target, she was really going easy.

Hearing this strange request, Meng Yingxue froze. She had expected this unreasonable fox to make more outrageous demands.

Never imagined it would be so… simple.

“Please… have mercy on me, Esteemed Master.”

Ahhhhhhh!!!

What was with the female lead’s seductive whisper? Wasn’t that too alluring? Who was the real fox here—her or me?

With her long hair cascading down, Meng Yingxue looked utterly pitiful.

Even worse, because she was restrained, her collar had loosened slightly, giving her a “gentlemanly scoundrel” appearance.

“Host, the female lead is begging like this—aren’t you going to agree?”

“This is practically handing you points!”

Hearing the system’s frantic cries in her mind, Shen Xi nodded, her fluffy white ears twitching slightly.

“This master permits it.”

……

News came that human cultivators were coming to break the prison.

All demons went on high alert, working overnight to reinforce the formations, even bringing out their most prized magical artifacts.

“Demon Sovereign, if it’s really the sect master of Lingyun Immortal Sect coming, this could be troublesome.”

A horned ox demon stood beside Shen Xi, unable to hide his concern—clearly having fought human cultivators before.

“For a few milk-fed brats, why take such risks? Moreover, Your Majesty’s injuries haven’t fully healed.”

While consuming human essence could help fox demons recover quickly, the ox demon doubted Meng Yingxue’s frail frame could provide much.

One look told him this righteous fairy probably couldn’t contain much spiritual power. If the Demon Sovereign really intended to drain her dry, they’d probably be carrying out a withered corpse from her chambers by day’s end.

“Don’t panic. Did you all memorize the formation I described?”

Though Shen Xi usually skimmed novels carelessly, she remembered that later in the story, the female lead learned an absolutely devastating “unique formation.”

This formation had punished countless characters—Cannon Fodder #1, #2, #3, all the way to #n.

Of course, this excluded herself—as the main villain, her screen time couldn’t be as brief as cannon fodder!

“Your Majesty, you may not know—few among our demon race are literate, let alone in human script!”

“It took days just to memorize. Let’s hope they don’t disappoint Your Majesty’s expectations.”

Shen Xi: “……”

While commanding over a hundred thousand demon soldiers was satisfying, this illiteracy problem was unacceptable.

If any demon soldier slacked off, her grand ambitions might go up in smoke.

“Are you sure about the arrangements you’ve made?”
