Disguised as a Sickly Beautiful Fox to Seduce the Righteous Fairy - Chapter 2

“Steamed what? Steamed…”

Her fox tail curled lazily as Shen Xi leaned comfortably against the Demon Lord’s throne, crafted from the hide of a thousand-year-old tiger demon.

“Clean her up and bring her into my cave~”

The demon clan members: “……!”

A bull-headed demon with two horns was the first to step forward, clasping his fists. His round eyes widened in shock as he urgently advised, “Demon Lord, although this woman has an excellent furnace constitution, she… practices ice-based magic, which is inherently incompatible with your divine fire!”

“Forcing a dual cultivation could harm your health!”

With a flick of her fox tail, Shen Xi quickly adapted to her new body. She picked up a jade cup from the table, brought it to her lips, and smiled charmingly.

“What does it matter? It’s not like I can’t handle her.”

“Or are you all underestimating me?”

Having been bedridden for so long, the feeling of rebirth was nothing short of exhilarating!

Shen Xi began mentally strategizing. After all, the “Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Lord” body was essentially a max-level account.

Just as she thought this, a sharp pain shot through her chest, and the metallic taste of bl00d rose in her throat.

Shen Xi: “…”

Silence dried up, turning into a bitter pill she swallowed.

“Hello, esteemed host. I forgot to mention earlier—the original Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Lord’s soul was already obliterated by an ancient deity. Only her body remains. Currently, your lifespan and cultivation are reduced to about 10% of their original power.”

“Don’t tell me this ‘ancient deity’ is the female lead’s father!”

“Congratulations, host! Correct answer! One point awarded!”

Well, even if the system was stingy, something was better than nothing.

Dripping water wears through stone—understand?

“Since he dared to strike me down, I’ll make his daughter keep me company. How about that?”

“Very villainous. However, host, this is a romance system. Be careful—if you accidentally raise the dislike meter, it might backfire.”

“Fine. Now give me all the information about this novel. I’ve read so many books, I’ve long forgotten this trivial plot.”

Resting her cheek on her hand, Shen Xi luxuriated in the feel of her magnificent tail.

Being a big fox felt amazing. Though her body still ached faintly, compared to the agony of cancer, it was nothing.

“Okay, importing data for host—100%!”

Memories of lying in a hospital bed, reading novels amid the scent of disinfectant, flooded her mind.

Shen Xi recalled the emotions she’d felt while reading this story—oh no, not pleasure.

More like rage!

In the original novel, the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Lord was infamous for her “lifetime of wickedness.” Far from an insult, in the demon realm, the more vile one’s reputation, the higher their status and popularity.

Born as the sole heir of the Fox King Demon Lord, the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Lord had endured relentless ostracization among fox spirits, forcing her to flee alone to the demon realm.

Through sheer ability, she carved out her own dominion. Yet, in the end, she couldn’t escape the heavenly tribulation—struck down by divine lightning.

The demonic races under the Fox King Demon Sovereign were all outcasts once sheltered by him, so they wholeheartedly supported the succession of his only daughter.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Sovereign, who could have enjoyed a life of luxury as a privileged heir, instead made the foolish mistake of falling for an old man—the very “ascetic, iron-faced, and emotionless immortal sect leader” the system had just described.

Hearing that description, Shen Xi burst out laughing. How could this sly old coot possibly be called ascetic? Lustful and scheming was more like it!

She couldn’t fathom how the original host had fallen for him. It must have been divine intervention robbing her of her senses—or maybe she’d have drooled even if cured!

Unfortunately, the old hypocrite preached righteousness and demon-slaying day and night while acting the opposite. Exploiting the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Sovereign’s love and admiration, he ambushed the original host, brutally gouging out her core to brew an elixir for his disciple.

That very disciple was now the female lead, bound hand and foot, kneeling in the center of the grand hall.

The mere thought made Shen Xi’s stomach twist, as if her own core had been ripped out.

Fortunately, this timeline only showed the original host, grief-stricken by her mother’s death, sneaking past her guards and recklessly storming the celestial realm to demand justice from the Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly Dao.

Of course, causing trouble in someone else’s domain never ended well—she was slapped back down in an instant.

“Host, due to the original soul dispersing from severe injuries, the villain’s worldline is collapsing. That’s why we summoned you, already deceased, to fill this void.”

“Succeed in your mission, and we’ll grant you any ten wishes.”

“Anything?”

“Absolutely anything.”

“What if I want to be a billionaire?”

“Granted.”

“Deal. I’m in.”

……

Soaking in the hot springs, the woman wore nothing but a sheer, gossamer robe.

Her silver crown removed, ink-black hair cascaded over her shoulders.

“Speak less in words I don’t understand. I can’t grasp so much yet.”

Reborn, Meng Yingxue never expected some chattering entity to take up residence in her mind.

From their exchanges, she gathered the price of her rebirth:

She had to become the Daoist companion of that little fox who had fallen into demonic cultivation.

“My apologies, Host! I’ll mind my words from now on!”

The door creaked open.

Raising her eyes from the steaming waters, Meng Yingxue saw a nine-tailed woman gazing down at her imperiously.

“Wash thoroughly.”

“This Sovereign won’t tolerate any unclean stains on my bed.”

The fox’s ankles were exquisite, adorned with chimes and delicate inscriptions.

Meng Yingxue stared, dazed. She knew fox spirits were naturally beautiful, but she hadn’t expected this woman’s allure to be so intoxicating.

“What? Has cultivation addled your brain? Staring like a fool?”

Long legs bent as Shen Xi crouched, swirling the water before slipping in.

Fragmented memories of the original host lingered in her mind, influencing Shen Xi’s speech—now laced with a teasing, sultry edge.

But being a fox, this is exactly how one should act.

“Not at all.”

“The promise you made me—can you keep it?”

Truly worthy of being the female lead—her words were as tough as pistachio shells, impossible to crack no matter how hard you tried.

“What promise?”

“I seem to have forgotten something.”

Nonsense. Of course she remembered.

But… she needed to properly discipline the female lead.

That would make it easier to gain favorability points.

For righteous people like the female lead, someone had to open the door to a new world for them—otherwise, their stubborn minds would never awaken.

Watching the fox’s shameless behavior, Meng Yingxue braced her hands against the bottom of the pool and leaned in closer.

Her breath carried a delicate fragrance as she whispered, “Naturally, it’s about releasing my junior sisters.”
