Chapter 34 The Villainous Female Supporting Character in Immortal Cultivation (16)
After dealing with Bai Yaoyao and Xia Mingwei's matter, Mo Yuan finally spoke.
There was indeed a fox demon in the village, and that was the source of the demonic energy. However, she was injured, so Mo Yuan and Yan Sheng captured her without much effort.
Mo Yuan waved his hand, taking out a magical artifact from his sleeve. He chanted incantations, and with that, the fox demon they had mentioned appeared. The fox demon crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Her face was pale, and she appeared to be seriously injured.
Even so, it couldn't conceal her stunning beauty. Her face was like spring flowers and the autumn moon, breathtakingly beautiful. Her eyes were deep and captivating, like the starry sky. Her lips were red as cherries, soft and full. Her skin was fair and radiant, flawless. Her figure was graceful, like an elegantly dancing cat. Her hair was like raven feathers, smooth and soft. She was so beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful, as delicate and vibrant as a flower.
Her appearance alone has led many men to risk their lives for her.
Bai Yaoyao watched the fox demon from the side, secretly thinking, "One Xia Mingwei wasn't enough, now there's this vixen too! Even at this point, she still can't resist seducing men! She's a born seductress!"
Because of Xia Mingwei's earlier provocation, Bai Yaoyao's jealousy towards beautiful women was fully unleashed. She had initially maintained a calm facade, but now she couldn't even keep up that act.
Yan Sheng didn't rest for a moment. He walked over and kicked the fox demon, "Wake up, wake up!"
The fox demon, already severely injured from the sudden kick, struggled to open her eyes, trying to see who had come from.
"Who are you? Did that person also send you to take me away?" She finished speaking haltingly, coughing up another mouthful of blood as she strained her lungs.
Ignoring whether the others answered, she continued self-deprecatingly, "How pitiful that I, who have been so clever all my life, was so foolish for a moment, actually believing his sweet words and thinking that he could grow old with me!"
Xia Mingwei felt a sense of doubt; it seemed there was more to the story about the fox demon.
Thinking of this, she stopped Mo Yuan, who was about to make a move, and said, "Wait a minute, let's see what else this fox demon has to say!"
Upon hearing this, the fox demon retorted, "If you're going to make a move, then hurry up! I never expected to escape after being captured by you today!"
After saying that, she closed her eyes, looking as if she was facing death with equanimity.
Xia Mingwei stepped forward. "You have hatred in your heart. Are you willing to leave this world like this?"
A bitter smile crept onto her lips. "What can I do even if I'm unwilling? I left my hometown to repay a debt of gratitude and helped him achieve his goal of passing the imperial examination. I thought he would treat me with the same love and devotion he promised, just as he said. But on the day he passed the exam and rode through the streets in triumph, what awaited me was a complete and utter betrayal!"
As the fox demon spoke, a tear rolled down her cheek. But Xia Mingwei knew that it was not just a tear, but the fox demon's bloodlust.
"I only remember that day, the weather was clear, and I waited and waited but still did not see him. Just as I was about to go out to look for him, a group of Taoist priests appeared. They were numerous and powerful, and I risked my life to break through and escape with serious injuries."
"Since you've already left, why did you come back?" Xia Ming asked, puzzled.
"Because I hate it!"
"I hated his coldness and indifference, I hated his hypocrisy. But later, I also began to hate myself."
"Hate yourself?" Xia Mingwei was even more confused.
"I hate myself for being blind and giving my heart to the wrong person! I hate myself for being so careless and falling for this scoundrel's tricks!"
After listening, Xia Mingwei understood immediately. Sure enough, when a demon repays a debt of gratitude, it's either for a great grudge or for a great love. If you repay the right debt, you're the White Snake Lady; if you repay the wrong debt, you're just a thousand-year-old python!
Xia Ming sighed, "Have you ever thought about letting him go and going back to your own life?"
"Go back? Can I still go back?"
"But if you continue to entangle yourself like this, you will definitely be tainted by karma and end up with your soul scattered!"
"What about my revenge? Should I just watch him get promoted, make a fortune, and live a happy life? I can't do that. Even if it costs me all my cultivation, I will make him suffer a terrible death!"
"Are you really going to drag yourself down with this scumbag?"
After saying this, Xia Mingwei calculated with her fingers and then said, "Just now, I cast a divination for that scholar. Without your help, he will soon get the end he deserves, and it will be even more miserable than before!"
Upon hearing this, the fox demon's eyes lit up. "Are you telling the truth? You're really not lying to me?"
“I’ve never been good at cultivation since I was a child, but I’m somewhat interested in these unorthodox techniques. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her!” As she spoke, Xia Mingwei pointed to Mo Yuan beside her.
This accusation left Mo Yuan somewhat bewildered, but he knew these things, so he nodded to the fox demon.
Upon receiving confirmation, the fox demon felt as if a great weight had been lifted from her heart.
Seeing that she wanted to leave, Bai Yaoyao refused.
It's common knowledge that demon inner cores are highly nourishing. They can not only increase cultivation but also prolong life. From the moment she saw the fox demon, she had already planned her fate. Now, seeing that she was about to be released because of a few words exchanged between Xia Mingwei and the fox demon, she was unwilling to accept it.
So she said to Yan Sheng, "Asheng, I'll stop her!"
Upon receiving Bai Yaoyao's order, Yan Sheng immediately took action. With a wave of his hand, he grabbed the fox demon's vital point and threw her heavily to the ground.
The fox demon was already severely injured and hadn't had a proper rest. Yan Sheng's heavy blow caused her to immediately faint from the pain. Xia Mingwei looked closer and saw that she was barely breathing!
She glanced at Yan Sheng, then turned and yelled at Bai Yaoyao, "What are you trying to do?"
“I thought these villagers were also harmed because of her, and we can’t just leave them without any compensation! That’s why I asked Ah Sheng to take action!”
Xia Mingwei glanced at the fox demon's condition, then turned and stared intently at her face. "So what do you want to do?"
"What I mean? Then I suggest that the fox demon hand over its inner core, and that'll be the end of it!"
Xia Ming took a breath, trying to make her voice sound calm, "If you hand over the inner core, what will happen to it?"
Bai Yaoyao thought she had persuaded Xia Mingwei, assuming that Xia Mingwei shared the same thoughts as her. "We'll each have half of this fox demon's inner core! Or, if you don't want it, I can exchange it for spirit stones!"
Bai Yaoyao became more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes already brimming with undisguised greed.
"And what about the fox demon?"
"Let her fend for herself! If she survives, that's her good fortune!" Bai Yaoyao's words were dismissive, as if it wasn't a living human life, but a trivial matter.
