Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength

Everyone found it rather odd that Bai Hu, also known as the Ancestral White Fox, had not looked well in recent days, appearing as if she had been groped by unwelcome hands... Yet, they couldn't bring themselves to believe Meng Yu would be responsible.

If Meng Yu truly fancied fluffy tails, he would not have chosen a high difficulty level but would have pursued the various women instead... Speaking with all sincerity, while the Ancestral White Fox held a noble status, many of the girls believed they were quite beautiful as well.

The line of Bai Hu was a clan that strictly adhered to rules, with married women praised for their gentleness and sensibility. To put it simply, the character of being 'sensible' meant they could, to some extent, hold onto a man and were adept at reading emotions.

It was evident to all that Meng Yu was a true gentleman who honored proper conduct.

Why would the Ancestral White Fox quarrel with him?

...

Among the Fox Clan with six tails, it was said that Bai Hu was the kindest.

However, Bai Hu did not believe this to be true; there were many others who were more considerate and with far better temperaments than her. It was only because they were at the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages, that she, a Nascent Soul, had made it onto the list.

Of course... she was still proud of her good temper, but these past few days, she sometimes felt her temples throbbing with anger.

"Ah Yu, have you given in again?"

If you're about to do business, you warmly call your financier 'brother' or 'sister'. If they happen to be a young child, you must affectionately address them as such.

Therefore, Bai Hu changed her title for Meng Yu to Ah Yu.

"It's not giving in, just revisiting the negotiation."

Not long before, another female Golden Core from Eternal Night Palace had sought out Meng Yu, proposing that as a citizen with grievances, she'd like to request Meng Yu to arrange a private room for a chat.

Bai Hu witnessed Meng Yu's descent.

He agreed to the request, and then the door closed; what happened inside Bai Hu did not know, but after a while, the female Golden Core emerged—her hair still tidy, smile unchanged, but Bai Hu sensed a certain scent, as well as a shy look in her expression.

After the female Golden Core left, Meng Yu asked Bai Hu to reassess the assets of Eternal Night Palace, causing the veins on her forehead to throb.

With traitors like Xie Mingxian and Lan Qiong, Meng Yu already had a grasp of how many assets Eternal Night Palace had on paper.

Previously, when Bai Hu and Lan Qiong discussed the terms for the sect leader's surrender, a baseline had been set—these were the terms Meng Yu once offered to the Third Princess of Eternal Night Palace. Bai Hu declared that, by convention, this offer was already exceedingly generous, and if you're negotiating, edge forward bit by bit, don't reveal everything all at once.

Then... after Meng Yu had shared a bed with the Third Princess of Eternal Night Palace, he presented her with an ultimate, extremely generous offer.

Well then, you're wealthy, you're generous—I have nothing to say; after all, it was Meng Yu's decision.

Subsequently, sensing what might be Meng Yu's weakness, another female Golden Core of Eternal Night Palace approached, throwing herself into Meng Yu's embrace with whimpers, tearfully stating how frightened she was as his army approached and asking what they should do...

Thus, the negotiations continued, went well, marvelously well, so splendidly that when the door closed once more, Meng Yu astonishingly agreed to provide this Golden Core Master with additional Spirit Rice and Spiritual Wine!

Then came the third one!

This time, the bottom line had to be adjusted again!

"Sorry, so sorry, it's just... I felt a bit embarrassed, and so it went like this, Sister Bai Hu, please don't be angry."

Meng Yu's apologetic gesture of pressing his hands together only aggravated Bai Hu's anger further.

Where had that cold-blooded warrior gone, and why did he keep acting like this?

Was he just a pushover?

His demeanor on the Ascension List had won her admiration, yet now he was exposing a flaw in his attitude towards women!

"You're not serious, are you?"

She thought for a moment and decided to keep quiet.

Meng Yu shouldn't be such a superficial man, but why couldn't she help but feel irritated?

...

Eternal Night Palace.

The black sky enveloped the Mountain Gate, with invisible Formations protecting everyone. Previously, this was a world teeming with life, where numerous Cultivators laughed and sung joyfully.

But these days, all had fallen silent.

Bai Qian logged off and slapped three Purification Talismans on her body. She rinsed her mouth several times before she finally calmed down.

That damned Meng Yu, that damned Foundation Establishment, despite being a Golden Core Master herself, she had to debase herself to serve him and even act like a frail and delicate damsel!

She had always prided herself as a phoenix soaring with unimaginable arrogance, yet now she suffered such humiliation.

And that bastard seemed to treat her like a lowly woman, making all sorts of demands, what a complete scoundrel!

If not for the sake of the Sect, if not for victory, she would never have done such a thing!

The Message-Bearing Flying Sword arrived, and Bai Qian flew towards the main hall.

"You've worked hard."

The Venerable Elder sighed, looking at the woman before him - his own direct disciple, who had been humiliated on the Ascension List!

"Master, it's alright, just think of it as an illusion produced by an Extraterritorial Demon, everything is fine. This is the information I gathered from my discussion with him today."

Bai Qian, holding back her tears, reported the information she had acquired to the Venerable Elder.

In the end, she couldn't help but add one more thing.

"You should keep a close watch on the other disciples and masters. Among them, some may falter."

The sweet nothings Meng Yu whispered to her today during their tryst promised that even if the Venerable Elder refused to surrender, as long as she did not take action and followed him, she would receive endless fortune. He hinted that others had already accepted his offer, among other things.

She couldn't help mentioning it, for although she was fiercely loyal to the Sect, it didn't mean others were as steadfast.

...

On the Flying Boat.

If they traveled at full speed, they were only ten days away from the Eternal Night Palace.

The servant army darkened the skies, and the Nascent Souls following them were brimming with eagerness. This was a battle destined for victory, and everyone was filled with confidence.

Inside the innermost Flying Boat, Meng Yu's true body was relaying messages to the analysis team.

Although his actions over the past few days had been beastly, as the third line of attack in a strategy combining both military and scholarly approaches - the bedroom line - he had to let the relevant people know what was happening.

"Poor Ah Yu, the beauty trap has made you sacrifice too much."

Fairy Taohua said with a smile that was not really a smile, thereby setting the tone for the event.

The biggest difference between a siege and an open battle is the ability to use psychological warfare, espionage, various inducements, and sometimes even play a long game before capturing the opponent.

Whether it was Mirror Twelve or Meng Yu, they were fearless in open battle, but when it came to a siege, it was all about caution.

Mirror Twelve had witnessed the terrifying Planet Formation, and in the battle at Cool Breeze Mountain, the Mountain Protection Array and the Five Elements Annihilation Light Cannon left a deep impression on Meng Yu. During that battle, three Nascent Souls from the Myriad Gold Pavilion were confined and helpless as caged birds. That was just a minor Sect's Mountain Gate, so what about the Great Formation that the Eternal Night Palace had been cultivating for ten thousand years?

How could he assert that such an old Sect, which had produced beings that underwent Divinity Transformation and had myriad Nascent Souls, as well as subdued Demons and Divine Beasts, lacked depth?

Whether it was summoning several ancestors, retired elders, or even causing world-ending catastrophes, anything could happen.

And because of time constraints, the Immortal Sect hadn't had the chance to plant spies!

Therefore, Meng Yu would rather sacrifice his own purity to extricate crucial intelligence from those enchantresses!

"Thanks to Ah Yu, the beauty trap has brought us quite a bit of intelligence. The Eternal Night Palace still has some cards to play. That group is very stubborn; out of six, only one truly wishes to surrender. The rest are determined to resist until the end. If we believe them, trying to take shortcuts could result in devastating losses."

A tall Golden Core with pale skin that flushed with a hint of red spoke with a lingering fear.

The opposition Golden Core hid well, but ultimately, they fell prey to Meng Yu's Growing Golden Lotus in a special circumstance.

"So, we need to dispatch Ah Yu," Fairy Taohua said calmly.

"That group, harboring a 'do or die' mentality, would still be moved by the chance for a peaceful departure. Don't forget, gentlemen, that our biggest trump card has yet to be played!"

Everyone's gaze landed on Meng Yu.
