Disguised as a Sickly Beautiful Fox to Seduce the Righteous Fairy - Chapter 20

Looking at the empty prison cells, Shen Xi felt quite satisfied. These low-level human cultivators weren’t even worth throwing into a cauldron for refining pills—they’d probably only yield something the size of a sesame seed.

Better to just let them go.

No need to stink up her dungeon with their foul odor.

Ah, my apologies.

Having played the villain for so long, her thoughts were starting to align with the role.

“Well, Immortal Maiden, as promised—I always keep my word~”

Her fox tails perked up as Shen Xi crossed her arms, thoroughly pleased.

Today, she had changed into a new outfit—a sheer, cicada-wing gauze recently offered as tribute by the lesser demons—which only accentuated her breathtaking beauty.

“Hmm. The Demon Lord’s magnanimity has indeed made me reconsider my views on the demon race.”

Gripping her lifebound spirit sword, Meng Yingxue flicked her wrist, instantly purging the demonic aura from the prison.

“I’ve erased the traces of my junior disciples. Now, our master won’t be able to track them here.”

Pulling out her senior disciple jade token, she glanced at it and let out a soft chuckle.

With a slight squeeze of her fingers, the token shattered into dust, scattering across the dungeon floor.

Shen Xi: “…!”

All nine of her fox tails froze mid-air, standing on end like bristling fur.

What the hell was the female lead doing now? Rebelling against her master, running away from home, and smashing her own ID in the process?!

System, don’t you dare screw me over—the female lead’s behavior is completely different from the original plot!

If I’d logged into a max-level Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Lord account, I wouldn’t be this scared! How about some compensation, huh? Emotional damages, physical damages—I want it all!

As someone with extensive “camper” experience in games, Shen Xi knew one thing for certain: when dealing with “game support,” you had to squeeze them for every penny.

Never give them an inch.

Otherwise, the next time a bug popped up, her little fox head might not stay attached!

Host, what exactly do you mean by “physical compensation”?

The system asked with genuine curiosity.

What are you thinking, you perverted AI?! I’m talking about—the agony of having my dantian nearly crushed!

Ah, that. Unfortunately, Host, that’s a debuff tied to your randomized starter account. If we hadn’t pulled your soul here, this corpse would’ve been turned into a fox-fur coat by the Bl00d Sea Demon Lord next door in a month.

Wait, so this is still your fault!

The original host’s death was a side effect of your interference in this novel’s world, right? The plot destabilized, and you dragged me here as a last-minute replacement to fix it?

So where’s my compensation?!

Shen Xi channeled her full “customer support complaint” energy. With her silver tongue, she refused to believe she couldn’t wring something out of them.

Host, if you don’t complete the mission soon, this world will collapse.

Let it collapse! No compensation, no deal—I’ll just take my chances with reincarnation.

Life’s greatest gamble was the womb lottery, and Shen Xi was willing to roll the dice on a fresh start.

Screw this mission—let someone else deal with it…

“Demon Lord, is your dantian still hurting?”

Retracting her finger, Meng Yingxue gazed at the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Lord before her, deciding to follow the mysterious voice in her mind and attempt to “win over” her future wife.

The “Prime Essence Restoration Pill” she exchanged for ten merit points worked even better than expected—its quality could likely rival the premium spiritual medicines produced by the “Spirit Gathering Pavilion.”

Truly a rare treasure.

If she could rely on this inexplicable “voice,” she might indeed secure a way out for herself in the future.

Then she wouldn’t have to hide from the pursuit of the Lingyun Immortal Sect, nor would she need to justify herself to her master.

She could declare outright that she would no longer submit to the Lingyun Immortal Sect.

But for now, with her meager cultivation, opposing the entire Lingyun Immortal Sect was nothing more than a pipe dream—she was getting ahead of herself.

“It hurts… of course it hurts.”

What was with the female lead’s sudden concern? Shen Xi placed a hand over her dantian, rubbing it gently.

Seriously, this time she wasn’t acting at all.

This body was far weaker than she had imagined. Shen Xi even wondered if her liveliness these past few days had been a final burst of vitality before death.

How utterly terrifying!

“But, Immortal Lady, you don’t look so well either, do you?”

“How about we take a medicinal bath together?”

When Shen Xi first transmigrated, she had thoroughly inspected her territory. Since she was to live as a fox now, she naturally had to understand a fox’s habits.

Thus, she immediately took a liking to the medicinal bath pool in the original owner’s backyard. Though at the time, it was filled with something strange, giving off a sinister bloody hue.

After digging up the ninety-ninth skull, Shen Xi finally confirmed that the original owner had been setting up a resurrection array in the backyard, trying to revive her mother.

Alas, the tree may long for calm, but the wind will not cease; the child may wish to care, but the parent is no longer there.

But the medicinal bath pool was made entirely of pure spirit stones—Shen Xi couldn’t bear to discard it. She used a spell to evaporate the water, thoroughly cleaned the spring, and gave the place a lovely makeover.

Around the pool, she planted white reeds—clearly something that couldn’t possibly grow in the demon realm. They resembled the spiritual plants of Qingqiu from the original story.

Likely, they were seeds brought by the original owner’s late mother, who still held some nostalgia for her homeland.

“Very well. Since the Demon Lord has invited me, I cannot refuse.”

With the jade pendant symbolizing her status as the head disciple now gone, Meng Yingxue had completely severed herself from the ranks of immortal sect disciples.

Now, she belonged to no sect—she was free. Sharing a medicinal bath with a mischievous fox wasn’t exactly a betrayal of her ancestors.

“Don’t say you ‘can’t refuse.’ Deep down, Immortal Lady, you really want to bathe with me, don’t you?”

Hiss—Shen Xi swore these words weren’t her own! She was genuinely influenced by the original owner’s memory fragments and this fox body!

Making her act so shamelessly!

Watching as the distance between the woman and the fox narrowed, Meng Yingxue forced herself to stand her ground.

She refused to believe she had no resistance against this fox demon.

“Host, with such thoughts, you’re surely a late bloomer! I’ve compiled a guidebook on ‘strategies’ to counter the fox demon for your reference. It details the fox demon’s major quirks, preferences, and their favorite human appearances!”

Meng Yingxue: “…”

“There’s no need to beat around the bush. Just tell me straight that it’s an erotic manual.”

“Though I’ve never tasted pork, I’ve seen pigs run.”

“The cultivation methods of the fox clan aren’t much different from the Joyous Union Sect’s.”

System: “…”

This was truly the first time it had encountered such a “well-read” host!
