Disguised as a Sickly Beautiful Fox to Seduce the Righteous Fairy - Chapter 3

Damn, she really lives up to being the female lead.

How can even whispering sweet nothings be so flirtatious?

Shen Xi’s ears burned slightly as she met Meng Yingxue’s captivating gaze, forcing herself to appear composed.

Clutching her abdomen, she let out a soft groan, her delicate brows furrowing.

“Of course, I can let your junior sisters go. But, Immortal Fairy, I was grievously wounded by a celestial strike, and now my dantian is in excruciating pain.”

“Only dual cultivation can heal it. So, Fairy, what will you do?”

Hmph~ Since Meng Yingxue had already been stripped of her outer robe and tossed into her pool, Shen Xi didn’t believe the female lead had any means of escaping now.

The area was guarded by her disciples and the protective formations left by the original host’s mother—not even a mosquito could slip out unnoticed.

Extending a finger, Shen Xi gently lifted Meng Yingxue’s chin.

Foxes were born with innate allure, and Meng Yingxue, already wary of the great fox demon before her due to the parasitic voice in her mind, found herself unexpectedly flustered by such bold advances.

Whether in her past life or this one, Meng Yingxue had received countless confessions from fellow disciples—juniors, seniors, it didn’t matter.

As a cultivator, she had always rejected them without hesitation.

Yet today, for the first time, she found herself making the first move.

And against a bewitching fox demon, no less.

Once, she had despised demons, slaughtering them on sight without mercy.

Now, she was the one being pursued by a fox.

Drops of water pattered against the pool’s surface, steam curling in the air.

“That’s simple. I’ll heal you.”

“As for the rest… we can discuss it later.”

Wait, since when was the female lead so agreeable? Wasn’t her character supposed to be that rigid, self-righteous saint?

How strange.

“Aren’t you righteous cultivators all full of schemes?”

“Back in the hall, in front of all my subordinates, didn’t you scream ‘fox demon’ at me?”

“Why heal me now?”

Her fluffy white tail flicked lightly against the water, sending ripples across the surface.

“Indeed. Knowing how many demons I’ve slain, does the Demon Lord still dare to approach?”

Leaning against the edge of the pool, a bead of water trailed down Meng Yingxue’s cheek. Her tone was amused, utterly unfazed by the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Lord’s teasing.

Shen Xi gritted her teeth, her golden beast-like eyes fixed on Meng Yingxue’s face as she took a careful sniff.

This was definitely the female lead.

No substitutions—the genuine article.

The original novel described her like this:

“Her skin like polished jade, elegant and refined, carrying a hint of orchid fragrance. One whiff, and it seeped into the bones.”

But when Shen Xi had read that passage, she’d felt nothing.

Seriously, without an orchid plant nearby for reference, how was she supposed to know what “orchid fragrance” even smelled like?

“Host, don’t you think you’re being utterly unromantic? You’re ruining such a perfect atmosphere~”

“What does it matter? The female lead’s a loner—give her ten thousand years, and she still wouldn’t figure it out. She might even graduate top of her class in the Path of Severing Emotions.”

“Host, if the female lead really becomes a top graduate of the Path of Severing Emotions, your lifespan will come to an end, you know~”

“Considering you’ve killed over a thousand cockroaches with your Slipper Eighteen Palms technique, the Cockroach Association of the Underworld has collectively filed a complaint. You must complete our conquest mission to be reborn.”

Shen Xi: You’re not even pretending anymore! What Cockroach Association? You filthy system just want me to kiss the female lead, don’t you?

“Well, there’s no helping it, host. As a conquest system, we need to see these things to recharge our energy. We require magical replenishment too.”

“If you don’t do this and that with the female lead, our system will quickly lose power and disconnect completely.”

“At that point, not only will you lose access to the points store in this world, but you’ll also lose a highly advanced and intelligent system.”

What a terrifying system! Since when does making out with someone generate energy? This world must be someone’s fetish fantasy!

“Had enough of sniffing?”

“Do I smell good to you?”

Lifting her wrist, Meng Yingxue ignored the screaming voice in her head and took a gentle whiff herself. But beyond the scent of bathwater, she detected nothing.

Could she not smell her own scent? Or was the fox’s sense of smell so acute that it could detect things even she couldn’t perceive?

“I smell much better than you.”

A fox will always be a fox—that smug nature never changes.

Meng Yingxue’s fingertips shimmered as a green glow coiled around them, followed by blooming ice flowers.

“You said your dantian hurts? Let me examine it for you.”

Heh. The female lead’s words sounded harmless, but as someone who’d read the original story, Shen Xi raised her internal alarms to maximum alert.

This little black sesame dumpling still wants to scheme against me? Not a chance!

“You can examine it, but how exactly does the immortal plan to do so?”

With the system around, she wouldn’t die immediately. Besides, this injury came from a celestial lord’s palm strike—how could the female lead, with her current cultivation level, possibly help?

“Naturally with my spiritual energy.”

“What else would I use?”

Shen Xi: “…”

Well, she’d met someone even more boring than herself.

“No need… ah—!”

Before she could finish refusing, Shen Xi felt her golden core tear with excruciating pain.

Her fingers clawed at the bath’s edge, desperate not to appear pathetic before the female lead.

Come on, she was supposed to be the one conquering the female lead!

If she looked too miserable now, how could she ever recover the lost dignity to build affection points later?

The white fox tail curled in agony as Shen Xi’s ears pressed flat against her silver hair. Gasping for breath, she mentally flipped the system the bird.

“Don’t screw me over like this!”

This core-splitting pain was a hundred times worse than cancer!!!

Seeing the fox demon’s suffering, Meng Yingxue lowered her guard slightly. Remembering the voice in her head, she made a decision.

Since this woman was her destined partner—the only one who could help her achieve immortality through cultivation—she should act like a proper wife.

The green glow at her fingertips extended outward as Meng Yingxue’s palm came to rest on Shen Xi’s large ears.

“Does this feel better now?”

How strange—the dantian that had been throbbing with explosive pain just moments ago had now settled into calm, with only faint threads of discomfort lingering.

“What… method did you use?”

Hurry up and tell her—she wanted to steal the technique!!!

So she could learn it for herself later!

“An advanced healing spell.”

Meng Yingxue took a long stride, the warm water in the pool rippling. Watching Shen Xi’s pained expression, a slow flicker of pleasure surfaced in her eyes.

Indeed, she still found joy in others’ suffering.

The narrowing distance between them made their gazes meet.
