Having been given a second chance at life, I choose to join the Demonic Sect!

Chapter 33 An Yingji—A Wake-Up Call in the World

Cao Meng knew that An Yingji was enduring things. As long as he made it clear that he wanted to kick her out of the game, this woman would definitely cry, make a scene, and even threaten suicide!

Therefore, Cao Meng truthfully expressed his thoughts:
"Senior sister, let's continue our agreement. You can just resell 90% of the Supreme Yang Pearls to Uncle Xia!"

Cao Meng originally intended to kick An Yingji out of the game, but he felt that she would definitely cause trouble for him.

Moreover, if he were to kick An Yingji out of the game, his relationship with her would definitely deteriorate.

It will be difficult for me to ask her for help again in the future, and more importantly, I won't be able to use this to control her anymore.

After receiving a satisfactory reply, An Yingji said happily:

"That's my good junior brother!"

An Yingji felt that her tolerance of this rebellious junior brother had not been in vain; her forgiveness was worthwhile.

"Senior Sister, Uncle Xia is taking me to Xingluo River..."

Cao Meng also told An Yingji about his trip to Xingluochuan, and he believed that An Yingji would understand what he meant.

After understanding Cao Meng's meaning, An Yingji advised him in a manner similar to coaxing a child:
"Junior brother, listen to me! Hunting a fifth-tier demonic beast that's comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator is too dangerous. Let's not go!"

An Yingji knew that Cao Meng wanted to drag her along, but she felt that the risk was too high.

Even if the sect sends three Nascent Soul cultivators and some of its elite troops, An Yingji still feels there is some risk involved.

Fifth-tier demonic beasts typically have many demonic beasts under their command, including some third-tier and fourth-tier demonic beasts.

When the great battle begins, the three Nascent Soul cultivators will definitely be too preoccupied to attend to anything else.

An Yingji felt that with her cultivation level and the treasures she possessed, she should have no problem escaping and protecting herself if she encountered a fourth-tier demon beast.

However, Cao Meng was only at the half-step Golden Core realm. He was in great danger even when encountering a third-tier demonic beast, and he would be doomed if he encountered a fourth-tier demonic beast!

Therefore, An Yingji did not want Cao Meng to take any risks. She felt that it would be better for him to stay in the sect and focus on refining the Supreme Yang Pearl to earn spirit stones.

Seeing that An Yingji had backed down, Cao Meng then said:
"Senior sister, let's go to Xingluochuan together. When we come back, Uncle Xia will give me a great opportunity, and I'm willing to share it with you."

When Cao Meng said this, there was a hint of malice in his eyes.

The recipe for the fifth-tier spiritual dish, Spicy Soft-Boned Rabbit Head, was given to Xia Yulan by Cao Meng. If Xia Yulan were to actually make this fifth-tier spiritual dish, he knew without a doubt that the other party would make him taste the dish, or even test it for poison.

Cao Meng and An Yingji are fellow disciples, so naturally they should share both good times and bad!
good fortune!

Upon hearing this word, An Yingji hesitated.

Cao Meng's cultivation level increased too quickly, putting pressure on An Yingji.

She felt that her cultivation level was about to be unable to suppress the other party, and who knew that this guy might catch up with her cultivation level one day.

Therefore, An Yingji was somewhat tempted by Cao Meng's talk of destiny.

An Yingji also suspected that Cao Meng was deceiving her, but she felt that given his personality, it was impossible for him to go hunting fifth-tier demonic beasts without a reason.

The fact that Cao Meng was willing to take such a great risk meant that the benefits must outweigh the drawbacks, so she had already begun to believe in the good fortune Cao Meng spoke of.

good fortune?

Do the pros outweigh the cons?

Cao Meng just wanted to chuckle. He was willing to give away spirit stones even if it meant losing money, as long as he could kill that mother rabbit!

After hesitating for a moment, An Yingji made her decision and said:

"Junior brother, your senior sister can go with you, but you must promise to share the good fortune that Uncle Xia gives you with your senior sister!"

Cao Meng is putting too much pressure on An Yingji; she's currently lacking opportunities and good fortune!
"Ok!"

Cao Meng nodded in agreement, promising he would understand:

"Senior sister, given our relationship, we'll definitely share both good times and bad!"

That's what they said, but how exactly they'll do it is another matter. "Junior brother, when we're hunting fifth-tier demonic beasts with Uncle Xia Xingluochuan, we'll just stay on the sidelines and kill second- and third-tier demonic beasts. Fifth-tier demonic beasts are beyond our reach!"

An Yingji brought up this crucial point, otherwise she was afraid that Cao Meng might act impulsively and grab a sword to kill a fifth-tier transformed demon beast.

Upon hearing An Yingji's reminder, Cao Meng's face flushed with embarrassment, and he said:
"Senior sister, what are you thinking about?"

Let's go take a look. If we encounter danger, we'll evacuate if necessary.

After all, our master only has two disciples. If something happens to us, she will be heartbroken!

A fifth-order transformed demon beast, its combat power is comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Cao Meng wouldn't be foolish enough to take the initiative to fight a fifth-order transformed demon beast. After all, his life was his own, and he should cherish it!
An Yingji thought Cao Meng's words made a lot of sense and agreed:

“Junior brother, you’re right. Suqin Peak only has the two of us, senior and junior siblings, as descendants. If we die young, the Suqin Peak’s legacy will be lost!”

An Yingji felt that nothing could happen to her fellow disciples, since she was counting on Cao Meng to earn spirit stones to support her.

He himself wanted to inherit the mantle of Consort Duanmu and revitalize the Hehuan Sect!

Cao Meng, seeing that An Yingji and he were actually kindred spirits, rolled his eyes at her and asked:

"Senior sister, is it appropriate for you, as the sect's holy maiden, to say such a thing?"

Cao Meng felt that he had nothing to do with what he said, but An Yingji was the Holy Maiden of the sect!

"Humph!"

An Yingji snorted and replied:

"A sect's holy maiden is only a holy maiden when she is alive; a dead sect's holy maiden is nothing but a pile of rotten flesh!"

This was a sentence that Consort Duanmu told An Yingji in private when she became the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect.

For Consort Duanmu, An Yingji was first and foremost her disciple, and only secondarily the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect.

Seeing that An Yingji had such awareness, Cao Meng had to admit that she truly deserved to be called the number one female demon of the younger generation of the Hehuan Sect; her awareness was indeed high!
……

Three days later, a mid-grade fifth-order flying boat departed from the Hehuan Sect, heading towards Xingluo River.

On the flying boat, to relieve boredom, Cao Meng had a flash of inspiration and made a set of jade tablets to teach An Yingji and Xia Yulan how to play Dou Dizhu (a card game).

However, the entire process of this game relies on self-discipline.

After all, Xia Yulan had the highest cultivation level. If she were to use her divine sense to peek at Cao Meng and An Yingji's cards, the two siblings would certainly not be able to detect it at all.

After traveling for five days and five nights, the airship finally arrived at the border of Xingluo River.

Xingluochuan has a hundred thousand mountains and countless rivers. It is said that a sixth-order demon beast lives in seclusion there, but because of the long time that has passed, this can no longer be confirmed.

After everyone in the group disembarked from the flying boat, Xia Yulan put away the fifth-tier flying artifact.

The group had exactly one hundred people, and Cao Meng was the only male in the group. There was no way around it; the Hehuan Sect had very few male disciples to begin with.

Among this group of one hundred people, there are three Nascent Soul cultivators.

In addition, there are five half-step Nascent Soul cultivators, fifteen Nascent Soul cultivators, thirty people from the first level of Golden Core to the half-step Nascent Soul level, and the rest are half-step Golden Core and the ninth level of Foundation Establishment!

The lowest cultivation level among the hundred-person team was the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. Xia Yulan's hundred-person team can be described as an elite force.

The alluring Xia Yulan smiled faintly at Cao Meng, her lips pursed:

"Cao Meng, you haven't been cultivating for long, so you probably haven't killed any demonic beasts yet."

"Now that you've come to Xingluochuan, it's a good opportunity for you to hone your skills."

Cao Meng immediately understood that Xia Yulan wanted him to do chores, so he reluctantly declined:
"Uncle-Master Xia, let's forget about it!"

Cao Meng remembered that Xia Yulan had asked him to accompany her on this trip.

Now this woman actually wants Cao Meng to do the work; isn't this blatant deception of an innocent young man?
