Seeing Su Meiyin staring at her without blinking, Pei Xianyun smiled and said, “What? Scared silly? Or are you unhappy that I tricked you? Meiyin, do you remember how you treated me back then?”
The Flashback
Su Meiyin’s mind drifted back to their first encounter, sparked by Pei Xianyun’s words.
It had happened in a natural secret realm.
At the time, Su Meiyin had entered the realm in search of materials for an ancient formation.
She had searched for several days without success.
Just as she was feeling discouraged and ready to leave, a team of human cultivators entered the realm.
As a fox demon, she was naturally hostile toward humans and thought of leading them into a trap to kill them.
To gauge their strength, Su Meiyin followed them for a while.
During this time, she noticed that the leader of the group seemed to be the most beautiful but youngest woman among them.
She also discovered that some people within the group were planning to frame and betray her.
“Heh~”
Hiding in a tree, Su Meiyin glanced at the girl in the pink robes, a cryptic smile playing on her lips before she vanished.
***
Three days passed.
Pei Xianyun ordered the team to rest in place while she sat down to meditate and cultivate.
The others busied themselves with setting up camp, cooking, standing guard, or practicing.
Everyone had a task.
Two of them exchanged a devious glance and requested permission from Pei Xianyun to scout the path ahead.
Pei Xianyun agreed, and the two quickly sped off.
After traveling about ten miles, they stopped at a large clearing.
One man with triangular eyes scanned the area and nodded to his companion.
“Mm, this spot is good. Set up the formation quickly; I’ll keep watch.”
“Alright!”
The other man, who had large ears, nodded.
He pulled out an array disk and flags from his robes and began laying out a formation according to specific coordinates.
Hidden in the shadows, Su Meiyin took one look and dismissed the low-level formation.
She was more curious now: what was their motive for trying to frame that soft, tender girl who looked like a little fawn?
Why not just ask?
She silently approached the man setting up the formation, grabbed him in a hold, and locked his throat while simultaneously sealing all his meridians.
The “Big Ears” was terrified by the sudden appearance of the fox demon and struggled in her grip.
“A fox demon!”
But as soon as the words left his mouth, the “Triangular Eyes” guard was sent flying into the dirt by a casual blast of Su Meiyin’s demonic energy before he could even turn around.
This terrifying display of power silenced the man with big ears instantly, leaving him trembling and speechless.
Su Meiyin looked at him with disgust, threw him onto the nearly dead “Triangular Eyes,” and stepped on them both.
Crouching down, she asked, “What are you planning to do here? Tell the truth, or I’ll skin you alive!”
“Big Ears” was too scared to speak, but the dying “Triangular Eyes” managed to gasp, “We… we were going to set a trap to kill… kill the group behind us… Great Fox Demon… we’re bad people, we’re the same as you! Bad demons don’t kill bad people! Haha…”
Su Meiyin gave a contemptuous laugh.
“Who told you I’m a ‘bad demon’? Don’t lump me in with filthy things like you humans!”
As she spoke, she increased the pressure of her foot, making their bones creak and snap, drawing out screams of agony.
Seeing them about to wail, she eased up and continued, “That one… the one in the pink clothes. Her name is Pei Xianyun, right?”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
“Triangular Eyes” nodded frantically.
“Is she your leader?” “Yes!” “Which human sect are you from?”
“We…”
“Triangular Eyes” hesitated before answering, “Actually, we aren’t really with them. We are traitors! We were paid to get rid of the Young Sect Master of the Desire God Sect!”
Hearing this, Su Meiyin laughed again.
“Two pieces of trash. Who was so blind as to hire you for this?”
The two men’s faces turned pale and purple with humiliation, but they kept smiling obsequiously; their lives were in her hands.
Su Meiyin smiled.
“I can let you live, but you must continue to lead them here. I will be the one to set the ambush formation. Understand?”
The two men looked at each other.
They didn’t know why the fox demon had changed her mind to “help” them, but since they could survive, they didn’t dare refuse.
They nodded in agreement.
Satisfied, Su Meiyin planted a “Fox Spirit” mark on each of them before letting them go.
Then, thinking of that pink-clad girl’s slender waist, she began reconstructing the formation with a smirk.
***
When the two men returned to camp, they immediately reported to Pei Xianyun that there was a spiritual spring ahead, urging her to move the camp there.
Pei Xianyun believed them and ordered the team forward.
Inevitably, they fell into the trap and were imprisoned within the formation.
Under the watchful eyes of the group, Su Meiyin appeared with a smile, grabbed Pei Xianyun by the waist, and kidnapped her, leaving the others—including the traitors—trapped in the array.
In a cave within the realm, Su Meiyin placed the bound Pei Xianyun on the ground.
She scanned her body with great interest, ignoring the fact that Pei was shivering with fear.
Her slender fingers touched Pei’s firm waist, stroking in circles as she admired the girl’s distressed expression.
Suddenly, a wicked impulse rose.
She licked her lips and reached out to loosen Pei’s sash.
Pei caught her dangerous expression and, despite being tied up, shivered and shrank back.
She shouted, “Fox demon, what are you doing?! I advise you not to act recklessly! Do you even know who I am?!”
“Oh~?”
Su Meiyin was amused by the resistance, but Pei’s words reminded her of her status as the Young Sect Master of the Desire God Sect.
A bold idea suddenly took root in her mind.
She knew that the Desire God Sect cultivated the “Six Desires,” and the girl before her had not yet achieved mastery over them.
If she could use some methods to control one of those desires and make the girl unable to leave her, couldn’t she eventually control the entire Desire God Sect through Pei Xianyun?
Using the sect as a base, she could infiltrate human society or even trigger internal human wars.
It would certainly make the Demon Emperor view her in a new light.
Mmm~
it’s a great idea!
No sooner said than done.
Su Meiyin reached out and released Pei Xianyun’s physical bonds, but she kept her meridians sealed so she couldn’t resist.
Pei Xianyun stood up and rubbed her wrists, thinking the fox demon had actually been intimidated by her status.
But in the next second, a thick, intoxicating “Fox Scent” filled the cave.
Before her eyes, Su Meiyin smiled and undressed, standing completely naked. She beckoned to Pei Xianyun with a finger.
