Chapter 44: Demon Fox Empress, the future demon king
There was no mistaking it—this in front of her was the human Saintess.
But why?
Hadn’t the Saintess family already fallen to the point of nearly dying out? How could a pureblooded member still appear?
The little white fox silently watched Vanessa. From what it knew, the Faxiulis family only had one surviving member, and that was a male, one who had not inherited any divine favor and had no magical aptitude—he was from a dead bloodline.
Could the information be wrong? Or was the Faxiulis family hiding something? Or was this the result of a Saintess who had been very promiscuous behind the scenes?
At this point, the little white fox couldn’t care less about the reasons.
The Faxiulis family had always been a major enemy of the demon race, with most demon kings meeting their end at the hands of the Fanghui Saintess.
Having watched everything unfold from the beginning, the little white fox understood that this seemingly harmless girl, just like a little white flower, had deep scheming behind her. She was a true "pink to black" character—pretending to be kind and sincere, without even blinking an eye, and with her extraordinary talent, if left unchecked, she would undoubtedly become the greatest obstacle in the future.
Her beautiful, seductive fox eyes gleamed with a strange light.
By tomorrow, her strength would recover a little, and then she would simply eliminate the root of the problem—before this generation of Saintess could fully rise, she would crush her in the cradle to prevent any future trouble.
Having made up her mind, the little white fox couldn’t help but reveal a barely perceptible smile at the corner of her mouth.
But she was always clear on her debts and grudges. She wouldn’t forget that this girl had saved her life earlier.
So, when the time came, she would make her death less painful, as that would be her greatest mercy.
Meanwhile, unaware that her life had already been marked for death, Vanessa weakly stood up and began scavenging the spoils of war.
With the red demon chieftain dead, everything on his body naturally became ownerless. Since it was unclaimed, whoever picked it up would own it.
Sigh~ What could she do? It was just her luck to randomly find such a treasure.
The red demon chieftain’s armor had been burned beyond use, but his weapon was still in perfect condition, unaffected by the [All Gods’ Blessed Sacred Flame].
Vanessa picked up the red demon chieftain’s weapon. It was a finely crafted double-edged spear, with a black handle and a dull silver head, its blade sharp like icy claws, embedded with enchanted ice crystals at the spearhead.
She took out a disposable silk handkerchief to wipe off the blood and sweat from the spear, then lifted it up and opened the virtue panel to check.
Name: Tooth of Froststone
Crafted by a master artisan, with the handle made from the bone of the Froststone Dragon, the claws and teeth of the dragon used as the blade, its blood poured into the forging process, and the heart of the Froststone Dragon used as the power source.
Grade: High-grade Magic Weapon
Enchantments:
After reading through the enchantment effects, Vanessa weighed the Tooth of Froststone in her hand. It was light, much lighter than her mithril page hammer, and it should be usable even in her male form.
The three enchantments all seemed powerful. Used correctly, they could turn the tide of a battle.
Most importantly, with the Tooth of Froststone, even someone like her, who didn’t know any magic, would have access to some magical attack.
Fortunately, the Tooth of Froststone wasn’t a divine weapon. Divine weapons had intelligence and would recognize their master, so even if she had picked one up, she wouldn’t be able to use it.
Magic-grade weapons were different; whoever picked them up could use them, with the only difference being their affinity for magical elements.
Luckily, the red demon chieftain hadn’t had the chance to use this weapon, or she wouldn’t even have been able to get close.
However, even a high-grade magic weapon was hard to obtain, and Vanessa wasn’t sure where the red demon chieftain had gotten it from.
This was her first time using an enchanted weapon, and while holding it, she tried to use the first enchantment to turn it into an earring, but she wasn’t sure how to begin.
With a thought, the spear immediately transformed into a palm-sized ice crystal earring.
Vanessa’s eyes lit up. So this is how it works.
She placed the earring into her pocket and continued checking if there were any other useful items on the red demon chieftain’s body.
After all, he was a demon general, so he probably had quite a few good treasures on him.
Soon, she noticed a sparkling blue ring on the red demon chieftain’s finger and quickly took it off.
As she expected, this was also an enchanted item.
Name: High-tier Thunderstrike Ring
Enchantments: Once per day, it can summon thunder, dealing high lightning-elemental damage to a group of enemies and adding a paralysis effect.
The red demon chieftain certainly had a lot of good things on him.
Vanessa was now in a very good mood. She had just run into a bunch of good people—she was gifted with 250 virtue points and two powerful enchanted items.
Indeed, there are still many good people in the world.
"Lord Red Demon, I can’t thank you enough. Though we only met once, I can feel that you are a kind and devout person," Vanessa said, clasping her hands in prayer before the red demon chieftain’s body.
"Though you were ugly and terrifying on the outside, your heart is noble. You must not wish for your precious belongings to be tarnished."
"I know, if you were still able to speak, you would certainly want to give your treasures to those who need them, so they can use them to do more meaningful things in your place."
Vanessa placed one hand over her chest, where her ample bosom stood proudly, speaking with deep emotion, her tone reverent and holy as if she were performing a funeral for a devout follower.
"This heavy burden, I am willing to take it from you. Please, rest in peace."
With that, Vanessa 'affectionately' bowed to the red demon chieftain as if she were performing a final farewell ritual.
Well, the ceremony was over, which meant the red demon had agreed to give her the two enchanted treasures. She could take them without any guilt.
Poof poof.
The little white fox watched Vanessa’s every move, its mouth curling into a mocking smile.
As expected of a direct descendant of the Faxiulis family, so very theatrical.
But it was also quite interesting. If there was a chance, it really would like to get to know her better. Unfortunately, she wouldn’t survive until tomorrow.
The thought passed through its mind, and as Vanessa turned her gaze, the little white fox staggered toward her, pretending to be heavily injured, and collapsed at her feet.
Vanessa saw this and picked up the little white fox. Looking at this injured creature, her sense of déjà vu grew stronger.
‘Virtue +20 (Main character emotional fluctuation)’
‘Current Virtue: 274’
Hmm? Main character?
Vanessa was stunned for a moment. The system had just given her a reminder.
This jade white fox was also one of the main characters??
Wait, the pattern looks like...
A sudden realization struck her.
A deep sense of unease immediately settled in, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
This beautiful jade white fox was the only offspring of the King of All Foxes and the Queen of Succubi: Jiuli Xue, the future Demon King, and one of the most dangerous female leads.
And in the original story, Jiuli Xue had used Winnie as nothing more than cannon fodder and entertainment.
The cursed soul that Winnie carried was given to her by Jiuli Xue, and her motivation? Just for fun.
What do you think?
