Disguised as a Sickly Beautiful Fox to Seduce the Righteous Fairy - Chapter 23

“Do you know what she’s busy with?”

Meng Yingxue lowered her head to look at her fingers, still feeling the soft white fur brushing against her palm.

It was unbearably nostalgic.

“Host, please wait a moment. I will investigate for you—”

“Investigation complete, Host. Your master has allied with the Hundred Immortal Sects to break the formation. Their goal is to take you out of this place! Please be extremely cautious. If you return to the sect this time, you may face unimaginable punishment!”

As expected, it was her master again.

Meng Yingxue rose from the pool, flicking her fingers lightly as her clothes materialized on her body.

The chilling aura around her was so intense it could freeze the plants by the pool in an instant.

“Tell me, if I reek of the Nine-Tailed Demon Lord’s aura, do you think my master would believe I’m innocent?”

As the head disciple, Meng Yingxue had borne the weight of countless sect rules. She knew all too well the consequences for a disciple of the Lingyun Immortal Sect colluding with demons.

Imprisonment in the Cliff of Reflection—starting at a hundred years.

And worse, enduring the punishment of heavenly lightning.

Faced with the host’s question, the system dared not delay.

“Host, based on my findings, there is an 80% probability you will be imprisoned at the Lingyun Immortal Sect’s Cliff of Reflection and subjected to eight strikes of heavenly lightning to purge the corruption from your body.”

“Your emotional threads will also be severed, cutting all mortal ties.”

Her master truly remained the same—always quicker to trust outsiders than to believe in her innocence.

If not for her, her junior brothers and sisters would have long perished in the demon realm. How dare these elders point fingers at her now?

Meng Yingxue raised her hand, frost gathering at her fingertips as a slender sword sheath materialized in her grasp.

“Take me to her.”

……

If there was a gong clanging in the heavens, this would be the scene.

Shen Xi’s nine tails drooped limply, realizing she needed a permanent solution.

What?!

Hand over the female lead? Absolutely not.

The female lead was the wife she had chosen herself! How could she casually return her to some NPCs from the book?

Now that she was the host chosen by the system, this was her world!

The original plot, the outline, the themes—she’d toss them all to the dogs.

“Fox, you summoned me in such a hurry just for these stinking humans in the sky?”

A woman with black horns lounged lazily on a massive skeletal throne, as if boneless.

Shen Xi’s assessment: Dragon-kind must have tough backsides—sitting on all those bones had to be uncomfortable.

“Mhm, do you have any solutions, sister?”

One tail perked up as Shen Xi decided to test the waters.

“We demons of the demon realm were living just fine. It’s those two-legged creatures who barged in here with no regard for their own lives.”

“And now they’re claiming we stole their beloved disciple. Such shameless lies even put us foxes to shame.”

Those gleaming golden beast eyes fixed on her, and the previously carefree woman suddenly felt uneasy.

Though dragons and foxes both followed their whims, she was a native demon dragon, unlike those from the Dragon Palace who worked for the Heavenly Court.

This demon realm was all she had to inherit.

Besides, she wasn’t particularly interested in foxes anyway.

The main point is, the book says the fox clan has extremely strict requirements for mates. First and foremost, they must be as beautiful as flowers—absolutely cannot lose when it comes to having a pretty little face.

Second, they must possess the innate dual-cultivation sacred physique, capable of quickly replenishing their essence after being drained.

Tell me, who could possibly have a body like an unyielding doll?

And then, thirdly…

They must be skilled in bed.

“Lord, don’t worry…”

Meng Yingxue’s voice echoed in her mind, but before she could finish speaking, the demon guards stationed beside Shen Xi, their broadswords hanging at their waists, pressed the blades against her neck.

“Audacious!”

“Daring to trespass into forbidden grounds!”

A slender demon nearby saw this and immediately stepped forward, shooting a meaningful glance at the two guards.

After all, as demons who served by the Demon Lord’s side, they had “plenty of experience getting beaten.” So the two demons quickly withdrew their blades with a sullen look and reattached them to their waists.

“Lord, didn’t you just say you hadn’t hidden any humans?”

“Then what is this?”

The other demon lords seated in the grand hall voiced their doubts, their curious eyes scrutinizing Meng Yingxue.

Suspicions arose in their minds.

Could it be that this “gluttonous” fox had taken a fancy to a disciple from the human immortal sects and forcibly dragged them back to her den, provoking the pursuit of the hundred immortal clans?

But if this human woman were just an ordinary disciple, those arrogant old men from the human realm surely wouldn’t have made such a fuss.

The demon lords collectively gasped—

Could it be that this fox had snatched someone of significant status and hauled them back to her nest?!

No wonder their “parents” were beating drums and gongs above the demon realm, fuming and vowing to skin this fox alive.

“This is my… pet human.”

“What, do none of you have one?”

The demon lords: “…”

Hah!

Shen Xi looked up at the female lead, feeling strange. Was she hallucinating? She actually caught a glimpse of pity in the female lead’s eyes—directed at her.

No way, was she seeing things?

Would the female lead actually pity a villain like her, who had committed every evil under the sun?

Could it be that the female lead had also fallen under the charm of this nine-tailed fox?

Hearing the fox mention the term “pet human,” Meng Yingxue froze.

In the human realm, there was a place called “Immortal Slave Street,” where pet humans were bought and sold. However… those auctioned off at high prices served only one purpose.

That was—”to serve with their looks.”

Did this fox’s desire for her go beyond just draining her essence?

Meng Yingxue’s words died on her lips as she fell into contemplation, debating whether she should mimic the seductive techniques from romance novels to make the fox develop feelings for her.

After thousands of years of cultivation, she had never studied this particular subject.

“Fox, if you’ve snatched a prized seedling from the humans, you’d better return them quickly.”

“We’re not taking the blame for this.”

As demons, their favorite pastime was bullying the weak.

Fear of the strong? That didn’t exist. But suffering for no reason? Also not happening.

If the hundred immortal clans truly united to purge the demon realm over a single disciple, both sides would suffer heavy losses.

“I wasn’t forcibly brought here by the Venerable Lord. I came willingly to follow him.”

Seeing that the other demons had misunderstood Shen Xi, Meng Yingxue quickly spoke up to explain on his behalf.

“Among humans, I was never valued. It was only by the Venerable Lord’s grace that I was allowed to serve him.”

“Yet I never expected that even the demon realm would refuse to accept a human like me, who willingly fell into its embrace.”

“Perhaps the Venerable Lord is the only one who truly understands me…”

Her words left Shen Xi stunned. Wait, that wasn’t right—hadn’t he been the one to lure the female lead back to his fox den?

And those perfectly calculated “subtle gestures” to win over the demons—she didn’t seem at all like a naive young disciple fresh from the immortal sects.

She was more like an ancient monster who had lived for thousands of years… Truly terrifying!
