Disguised as a Sickly Beautiful Fox to Seduce the Righteous Fairy - Chapter 4

“The atmosphere is so ambiguous, Host. Don’t you think now is the perfect time to make your move?”

“If you miss this opportunity, who knows when the next one will come!”

As expected of a romance system—always thinking about nothing but locking lips!

As someone who had been single her whole life, Shen Xi’s understanding of romance came entirely from trashy TV dramas and cliché novels.

The male leads were always cool and domineering, while the female leads were delicate and sweet.

Of course… this novel was different. Although its plot was a serious cultivation story, its “unmentionable” scenes were anything but ordinary!

The female lead possessed a succubus constitution—basically, anyone who laid eyes on her would become infatuated. Yet, she was a staunch cultivator, devoted to the Dao and indifferent to worldly desires.

This novel danced right on the edge of censorship, filled with plenty of suggestive scenes, though never crossing the line into explicit content.

Call it a scam? Not quite.

But it certainly didn’t hold back where it counted.

Most of the story revolved around the female lead’s admirers vying for her attention, to the point where the novel’s genre tags were still hotly debated.

Some argued it was a harem story, while others insisted nothing actually happened—shouldn’t it be a “betting” novel instead? Readers placed their bets on which character would eventually win the female lead’s heart, marking their favorites and eagerly waiting to see who this clueless, romance-averse blockhead would end up with.

“Host, a conquest target like this is the perfect challenge to showcase your brilliant intellect!”

The system’s flattery was nothing more than—giving a sweet date before slapping you in the face.

“Who throws a newbie straight into a max-level account? I don’t care… if anything happens to me, you’re responsible!”

Was the female lead’s damnable charm so potent that even an otherworldly being like herself couldn’t escape it?

“Of course, Host… We have a beginner’s protection period. Specifically, you can rewind time once per day—like a save-and-load function in a game. But it’s limited to once daily, so use it wisely!”

“Once it’s gone, it’s gone~”

Shen Xi: “…”

How unfortunate!

Seems like she’d have to make the most of this chance.

She refused to believe she couldn’t resist the female lead’s allure. After all, she was a nine-tailed fox demon who could enchant all living beings—seduction was a fox’s passive skill!

Her fluffy tail coiled around Meng Yingxue’s slender waist as Shen Xi’s eyes gleamed with a teasing, bewitching light. “Dearest sister… oh, noble fairy, would you grace my humble abode for a few more days to heal my wounds?”

“This venerable one was recently injured by those wretched immortals, and my poor paws ache terribly. I wonder if the fairy would compromise for the safety of her junior sisters?”

Using fox charm magic on her?

Meng Yingxue’s brows furrowed slightly as she felt the damp fox tail against her. She knew better than to fall for this trick.

Foxes fed on spiritual energy. If she let herself be bewitched, she’d likely lose several cultivation realms in the process.

“I can heal you.”

“A healer’s duty is to save lives, regardless of the patient’s origins.”

“But don’t think for a second you can siphon my energy.”

“Understood?”

As expected of the female lead—she saw right through her scheme!

No, that’s not right! I must have been too obvious in front of her!

Getting carried away to the point where my fox tail was showing—how could she not know what’s going through my mind?

“That won’t do. For us foxes, essence is medicine, it’s food.”

Truth be told, foxes are omnivores—they don’t have to eat it.

But she just couldn’t resist teasing the female lead a little.

Hearing this, Meng Yingxue’s brows furrowed even deeper as she silently questioned the entity in her mind.

“Is this fox demon really my future wife?”

“That’s correct, esteemed Host. It is this nine-tailed fox demon.”

“But fox demons feed on essence. If I were to marry her and form a Daoist bond… I might not be able to handle it in the long run.”

“Host… this is indeed a valid concern. However, if you’re truly worried, you could visit the shop and browse for useful items. Perhaps there’s something that could help?”

“I understand. But… she doesn’t seem interested in my earlier goodwill?”

“She’s just sizing me up like a meal, figuring out how to take a bite.”

The Qingqiu fox clan had a good reputation, but the white snow fox before her, though carrying Qingqiu bl00d, was actually a runaway nine-tailed fox.

This wasn’t some well-kept secret among the immortal sects. The nine-tailed clan was generally considered friendly toward humans, maintaining a policy of mutual non-interference.

Yet thousands of years ago, the Qingqiu nine-tailed foxes had issued a warrant, urging all immortal sects to execute this renegade royal on sight.

Meng Yingxue felt this fox was quite young. Though she had nine tails, her temperament didn’t match that of a millennium-old fox.

She must have been raised on rare treasures, forcibly elevated to nine tails.

“Host, this is your task now. As for the rest… even this system doesn’t know!”

As a romance system, if it could solve the problem itself, it would have done so already! Why would it even need a host?

“So that’s how it is…”

Seeing the female lead’s distress, Shen Xi felt a surge of satisfaction. In the original story, the female lead was an unfeeling stone spirit—no matter who tried, she remained cold and indifferent.

But if you really thought about it, the female lead was probably the easiest to romance in this novel.

Because everyone else was hopelessly in love with her, while she herself cared for no one, shutting out the world in single-minded pursuit of immortality.

Logically speaking, if the other characters hadn’t been possessed like Shen Xi, they would all bear the “infatuation” imprint toward the female lead.

In other words, the female lead was just a block of stone—but everyone else already had their hearts set on her.

It was obvious who was harder to romance!

As expected, there’s no such thing as a free lunch!

“What’s wrong? Made up your mind?”

“But if you’re unwilling, you could always fight your way out of my demon palace with your junior sisters. I won’t stop you—but likewise, I won’t stop my subordinates either.”

Her fox tail flicked against the water, sending ripples across its surface.

Shen Xi made it seem like there were many choices, but in reality, there were none.

As a newly ascended demon sovereign, Shen Xi had inherited her mother’s legacy and the demon clan’s connections. But if even one demon were to rebel, her current position would be in grave danger.

Moreover, the original owner of this body had previously courted death in the Celestial Realm, leaving it on the verge of collapse and in desperate need of high-level healing magic.

A fox is indeed a fox.

She clearly knew that with her current cultivation level, it was impossible to fight her way out of the Demon Realm with her junior sisters in tow.

Her purpose in saying this was none other than to coax me into letting her absorb my essence to heal her injuries.

Truly… a cunning fox.
