Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength-Chapter 238 - 215: A Gentleman Does Not Deceive in Secret

That evening, Meng Yu did not return home, but instead stayed in the marketplace.

Under the watchful eyes of countless pairs of eyes.

In the past, with Bai Qianqian shielding him from the storm, he could stay peacefully on the mountain, living a leisurely life, but once she was gone, Meng Yu had to step forward, even at great risk, he had to make a stand.

Perhaps, tonight there would be Golden Core Masters, even several, coming to assassinate him. Perhaps, there would be all sorts of cunning tricks and treachery.

But Meng Yu had to make a stand.

In the world of cultivators, the strong are revered. Meng Yu ruling the sect during Foundation Establishment was fundamentally unreasonable. Even in the Central Plains region, when a sect’s powerhouse falls, the remaining disciples would voluntarily give up some resources, waiting to rebuild before succeeding.

To many, the Moon-Watching Sect now appeared to be at its weakest, where any small disturbance could lead to collapse.

Yet, Meng Yu wanted to tell everyone that they were wrong.

...

A plump and elegant woman, with soft hands, creamy skin, a coquettish and fine appearance, and captivating eyes, arrived in front of Meng Yu’s temporary residence, accompanied by four beautiful maids.

This was Hu Qingquan. After settling in, she had dressed up nicely to seek an audience with Meng Yu.

As a superior, even if one has punished you, you still need to greet them respectfully, and dress up beautifully. Moreover, after seeing Meng Yu’s temporary residence, her smile grew even wider.

The temporary residence, also known as a portable immortal abode, a treasure possessed only by a few Golden Core Stage powerhouses, is simply too flamboyant. Most Golden Core cultivators scoff at it, as it’s something they can’t afford.

The temporary residence, ten feet in length and width, includes walls, a Spiritual Spring, a Spirit Gathering Array, and the four symbol formations of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermillion Bird surrounding it. Hu Qingquan had seen the portable abodes of a few Golden Core Masters in the Central Plains, but none of them compared to Sect Master Meng’s.

Meng Yu was concerned about the fragility of the Moon-Watching Sect, but Hu Qingquan was awed by the sect’s strength, especially after today’s chaos, when the merchants and cultivators joined forces to stabilize the situation, which astounded her.

The powerful Moon-Watching Sect, which had killed four Golden Core Masters, indeed killed them, and by this act alone, no sect in the Western Wastes would dare to attack their mountain gate for a hundred years. Many now wished to join the Moon-Watching Sect, and in terms of winning people’s hearts, Sect Master Meng had done an exceptionally good job.

Many thought the sect master was foolish, too generous, squandering Spirit Rice. But Hu Qingquan, who had returned from the Central Plains, saw it differently. Money flow doesn’t lie; although Spirit Rice is expensive, the income of marketplaces, pawnshops, shops, and the like had increased month by month, which was remarkable. Plus, the surging crowd brought in even more profit, and day-to-day disputes were reduced. Everyone felt that the Moon-Watching Sect was fair and wouldn’t cheat them, making them more willing to spend. Such invisible income was even higher.

While military force can suppress most issues, good governance allows an organization to run more smoothly. Many medium and small sects fall apart and succumb to internal strife because they lack a good leader. Meng Yu was undoubtedly a True Seed.

Her only regret was that when Bai Qianqian was besieged, she was too timid to act and only managed to assassinate a few Qi Cultivators from the Five Directions Tower. She arrived too late and didn’t earn trust, meeting Meng Yu only once.

She soon met with Meng Yu, and bowed down respectfully, showing her reverence. Half of her tail also drooped to the ground, motionless.

Rain pattered outside the window.

The room was as warm as spring.

Meng Yu listened to Hu Qingquan narrate the various circumstances of the Central Plains, the stories of the red-haired fox, and her fragrance, like orchids and sandalwood.

Hu Qingquan, transformed into a plump and mature woman, was impeccably dressed in a blue Emerald Mist Robe, scattered with floral prints over a pleated green skirt, draped in a light blue Jade Water Mist Veil. Her shoulders were delicate and her waist was slender, her skin creamy and her presence delicate, and suggestive of softness and grace.

She was not at all haughty like those with a False Core, but was extremely submissive, almost as if she would bare her soul.

For Meng Yu, this was just a meeting, but for Hu Qingquan, she sought a form of assurance, or perhaps recognition.

If you don’t show your belly to someone, why should they recognize you as their pet?

Sect Master Meng, returned from overseas, subdued Bai Qianqian, and then established the fame of the Moon-Watching Sect with superb tactics. Countless people feared him, and many wished to join!

"So you’re saying that to establish a Teleportation Array there, we need at least a Fourth Rank Mountain Protection Array to ensure its safety?"

"Yes, setting up a Teleportation Array is difficult. The emergence of a large Teleportation Array affects the interests of many people around, including other commerce guilds, sects, even those miles away. And once it’s established, it’s coveted by countless others, leading to blackmail and extortion. Those people of the Central Plains always act as though we practice dubious arts, as Western Wilderness Barbarians and so on, presenting all kinds of pretext to bully us. That’s why at least a Fourth Rank Mountain Protection Array is needed, to fend off maneuvers of Nascent Soul level aggressors."

"Hmm, how’s your tail doing?"

Meng Yu suddenly asked this.

The long fox tail, with one third of its end cut off, would have been hidden long ago if it weren’t for hearing that Meng Yu had a particular fondness for tails.

"Back when I was fleeing for my life, a swordsman struck me with his Sword Intent, it was too fierce, and in my haste to escape, I didn’t take proper care of it. Therefore, it doesn’t look very good now."

"Come here," Meng Yu said.

The man extended his hand, patting the spot beside him.

Hu Qingquan hesitated for a moment, then with a mix of three parts sadness, three parts shyness, and three parts submission, she approached Meng Yu’s side, took a seat beside him, her tail swaying and falling in front of Meng Yu.

"Lie down."

Meng Yu continued to instruct.

```

"Ah?"

Hu Qingquan bit her teeth tightly, wanting to say something, but her body involuntarily softened and she obediently lay down beside Meng Yu, her back to the man, her face exceptionally flushed with shame, yet her fox tail stood up high.

She didn’t know why she wasn’t resisting, perhaps... it was... because she had already made some kind of psychological preparation before coming today, right?

The young and talented woman, leaving her hometown to carve out a place for herself in the outside world, worked diligently and conscientiously for one hundred and twenty years, only to have it all amount to nothing, escaping back to the Western Wastes exhausted. Having gone through countless life-and-death trials, her spirit had been worn down to nothing, and all she wanted was to find a place to live well, even if it meant clinging to powerful legs, even if it meant giving a lot.

It was only today that she realized how weak she had become.

But it was too embarrassing, how could she... Stay tuned with novelbuddy

Then, the man reached out his hand and grasped her soft tail.

Her body trembled, her heartbeat quickened rapidly, this position was just too shameful, and him grasping her tail, kneading it back and forth.

His palm passed over the place where it was cut, a sensation she hadn’t felt in many years. This novel and intimate gesture involuntarily made her clamp her legs together, then the man stroked back and forth several times, making her face turn even redder.

"Master... do you want them to join us, would that be okay?"

She said softly, those four girls were all her tribespeople, each one as beautiful as flowers, with unmatched charm. She was too shy already, and now she just wanted to go to the restroom...

"Them? How could they suffice?"

Meng Yu gave another firm stroke of the fox tail. Though it was missing a third, the fur was extremely good and full of elasticity, not to mention exceptionally fluffy and fragrant.

"Do you know why you’re being punished?"

"It’s because I didn’t handle the marketplace properly, causing such a big loss."

"No, stand up."

Meng Yu let go of the fox tail, having Hu Qingquan, who was on all fours, stand up and sit properly.

"Subordinates betraying and the like are minor matters, punishing you is just for show, it was supposed to be only a forfeiture of three months’ pension. But your reward cannot be less.

Your performance in the three marketplaces has been the best, and moreover, your attitude is excellent. Today you did not make excuses, but directly admitted your mistakes, the False Core facing me, a Foundation Establishment, was very pleasing, I liked it a lot."

The reason for the three marketplaces is because it was two Golden Cores and one False Core who came to seek refuge with Bai Qianqian. Bai Qianqian did indeed want them together, but Meng Yu opposed.

The marketplace is like a Minor World, possessing all kinds of resources. The lord of the marketplace acts like a Military Governor. Having three Golden Cores together, once they form an interest alliance, it gets troublesome.

On the contrary, having three separate marketplaces, competing with each other, comparing, is actually a good thing.

"Ah, I have a reward, too?"

"Yes, I prepared a gift for you, see if it’s suitable."

Inside a Jade Box, there were three talismans, a fox tail, and a bottle of medicine.

"You were severely injured back then, the Sword Intent damaged the function of your tail, and without proper treatment, the tail could not regenerate. However, this fox tail is different, it’s my gift to you. Don’t worry about compatibility, it was created by a Grade Five power, using your original flesh and blood, and can perfectly merge. First, use the three talismans to suppress the injuries and Sword Intent in your body. Then, cut off the old tail, replace it with the new one. After recuperating for half a year, it will be just like it used to be."

Bai Qianqian cared deeply for her sisters, even if this red-haired fox was timid, a natural-born office white-collar worker, she still remembered her regrets.

In the Western Wastes, they couldn’t solve Hu Qingquan’s issue, but at the Immortal Sect, it was not a big problem.

"Ah?"

Hu Qingquan trembled all over, unable to believe that this was real, especially Meng Yu’s mention of a deed by a Grade Five power.

"You go down first, try on the new tail, see if it fits. By the way, when I was touching your tail just now, it was to confirm the fit. If it’s not suitable, I will go and ask someone else."

Meng Yu said calmly, as if he had just been the most upright gentleman.

This was the benefit of Bai Qianqian taking refuge in the Immortal Sect.

At the Immortal Sect, the bioengineering technology was powerful, with deep research in restoration. Even though Hu Qingquan was only a False Core, possessing part of her tail flesh and blood, the Immortal Sect could still specifically culture a fine new tail.

Moreover, by attaching talismans, Regeneration Gu, and so on, they could solve the problem of Hu Qingquan’s half-tail that had troubled her for so long.

Of course, there was false information in the middle. For instance, it wasn’t a Grade Five power that took action, but rather Hu Qingquan’s personal data and flesh were sent to a top research institute, with the additional reward of twenty-five Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

Another fiction was that Meng Yu had no need to touch the fox tail, but then, who could resist the scene of a noble, elegant, resentful, and submissive fox Clan beauty lying in front of them, her bottom raised, allowing you to do as you please?

At that moment, if you don’t touch her tail, what else can you do?
