Disguised as a Sickly Beautiful Fox to Seduce the Righteous Fairy - Chapter 7

Seeing the senior sister speak up for the Fox Demon Monarch, the imprisoned cultivators were momentarily stunned.

Their eyes widened in disbelief.

But with their mouths sealed by the fox demon’s magic, they couldn’t utter a single word.

“The mistakes you made are your own—did you really expect our master to come bail you out?”

Having lived a second life, Meng Yingxue was thoroughly disappointed in her master’s actions, but she still hoped these junior sisters could walk the right path.

And not stray again.

At these words, the imprisoned cultivators immediately lowered their heads in shame, some feeling utterly humiliated.

Shen Xi, leaning against the prison bars while munching on green dates, sensed something was off, though she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

At this point in the story, the female lead revered her master unconditionally and had never considered that he might be problematic.

But this time, Shen Xi had no intention of letting that wretched old man off the hook.

“System! If I kill the female lead’s master—an important NPC—what kind of punishment will I face?”

“Respected host, none.”

“Ours is a conquest system, with little connection to the main storyline. Therefore, we must stop at nothing to achieve our goal—including eliminating key NPCs.”

“This system kindly reminds the host that the world may collapse if important NPCs are removed. If you wish to kill someone, this system must first report to headquarters to prevent world destabilization.”

“So I have to place an order first? A bit troublesome, but kinda satisfying.”

“Monarch! Your Highness!”

“Look who we’ve caught this time!”

A horned demon, with a white-robed male cultivator tucked under his arm, swaggered in, his tail flicking lazily. But the moment he spotted Meng Yingxue, he instantly tensed up.

Though this woman bore the monarch’s binding curse, she was still a disciple of the immortal sects—and a high-level cultivator among human practitioners at that.

Such a woman couldn’t be taken lightly!

“Senior Sister… save me!”

Meng Yingxue: “…”

For a brief moment, Meng Yingxue toyed with a loose strand of hair by her temple, seriously considering pretending not to know him.

“Monarch! Monarch!”

“Today’s been strange—human cultivators keep showing up uninvited. We ought to teach them a lesson…”

The demons dragging in several bound male cultivators froze. They’d heard the monarch had taken a fancy to a fair-skinned, beautiful female cultivator among the latest captives.

Rumor had it she’d already been taken to the monarch’s chambers.

Yet here they were, both the monarch and this woman, standing in the prison holding human cultivators!

“You wicked woman! What have you done to our monarch? Speak the truth, or don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

The demon promptly dropped the male cultivator from his armpit, summoning a pair of blades into his hands with a swift motion.

The male cultivator landed hard on his backside, his once-elegant white robes now splattered with mud—a pitiful sight indeed!

“Ah San, stand down. She hasn’t done anything to me.”

Recalling the demon’s name, Shen Xi decided to intervene and stop this farce.

Though her connection with the female lead was currently limited to sharing a bath, well… the female lead was her conquest target. This arranged marriage? She had no choice but to accept it.

After all, this was the bargaining chip that had given her a second chance at life.

At least the wife she’d chosen wasn’t too bad.

—Well, at least she was decent-looking.

That was enough.

Hearing the Demon Lord call his name, Ah San gleefully sheathed his twin blades, planting one foot firmly on the buttocks of the human male cultivator beneath him.

“Yes, I obey the Demon Lord’s command!”

“I won’t bother with that human woman anymore!”

Demons had always been this rough in their speech, and Shen Xi, having inherited the original host’s fragmented memories, was long accustomed to it.

Meng Yingxue glanced at the male cultivator sprawled on the ground and recognized him as a disciple of Elder Chifeng from the Lingyun Immortal Sect.

The cultivator clawed at the dirt, his eyes lighting up at the sight of Meng Yingxue as if she were his savior. He desperately tried to crawl from under the demon toward his senior sister, using every ounce of strength he had.

“Senior Sister… it’s not just me who was captured… Little Stone and the others were also taken by these vile demons!”

Hearing this, Shen Xi couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

What kind of teammates did the female lead even have? They were practically handing themselves over on a silver platter!

She hadn’t even made a move yet, and they were already delivering themselves to her doorstep.

“I understand.”

Meng Yingxue raised her eyes to meet Shen Xi’s gaze, only to be met with a lightly swaying index finger and a teasing remark.

“Immortal, if you still wish to save your junior brother, that will require… additional payment~”

“This Lord has always been fair and just. What I promised you, I shall deliver. But if you wish to raise the stakes, then I’ll have to reconsider.”

Hearing the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Lord extort her senior sister like this, the male disciple gnashed his teeth in fury. Despite being a prisoner, he couldn’t hold back and roared, “You shameless fox! Don’t think just because you fled to the demon realm that the Fox Clan will let you off—”

Before he could finish, a nearby demon delivered a sharp slap to his face, sending stars spinning before his eyes as he spat out a mouthful of bl00d.

“Hey, you little human brat!”

“Know your place! If you dare disrespect our Demon Lord again, don’t blame me for boiling you alive and using your skin and flesh to flavor my wine!”

Insulted like this, Shen Xi naturally wouldn’t let him off.

“Mark this foul-mouthed brat down. Later, have Aunt Yu personally interrogate him.”

At the mention of “Aunt Yu,” the demon’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

“Yes, the Demon Lord speaks wisely! This tender-skinned human should indeed be handed over to Guardian Yu for questioning!”

Whether out of fear or dread of being singled out for torture, the male disciple instantly wilted like frostbitten cabbage.

He whimpered again, “Senior Sister… Senior Sister, save me!”

Meng Yingxue sighed helplessly before clasping her fists and bowing deeply to Shen Xi.

She surrendered.

“My Lord, I am willing to accept your additional terms.”

In her past life, her stubbornness—her refusal to admit defeat or acknowledge her mistakes—had led to the tragic deaths of her junior siblings at the hands of demons.

This time, Meng Yingxue refused to repeat history.

If she could save them, she would. If not, then she wouldn’t.

“Good. At least you’re a smart human.”

She tossed over the half-eaten jujube, which Shen Xi caught with a flick of her fox tail. Narrowing her eyes, she gave the male disciple a charming smile and said, “See this? Let me tell you something today—if it weren’t for your senior sister pleading on your behalf, you’d already be served as a drinking snack.”

The male disciple trembled with fear, unsure what his senior sister meant by “additional terms.”

“You demoness! What exactly are you planning to do to my senior sister? I swear… even if it costs me my life… I won’t let you disrespect her!”

“Mm… mmph—”

Mid-sentence, the male cultivator’s lips were sealed shut by a spell.

“What could we foxes possibly want from you humans?”

“Just to take you back and warm our beds, of course.”
