The Darling of Heaven Owns a Rip-off Shop

When Cao Xilan used that teleportation talisman, it felt like her heart was dripping blood; this was her last teleportation talisman.

Most of the magic treasures her father gave her, the disposable ones, had been used up to more than eighty percent. The non-disposable magic treasures were also seriously damaged. Too many people were hunting her; she was like a street rat—everyone in the eyes of the righteous cultivators wanted to kill her.

This bastard Duanmu Xin actually dared to humiliate her. Sooner or later, she would get revenge, and it would be a thousand times, ten thousand times worse.

Now, the only way to stay alive was to continue heading west; the west was the domain of the demon cultivators. Only by finding a powerful and unscrupulous demon cultivator could she find sanctuary.

Principles? When Cao Xilan thought of these two words spoken by Duanmu Xin, she fiercely spat in her heart. Demon cultivators talking about principles? They’re just a group of heartless, bottomless beasts.

Yet now, she had to seek shelter from these beasts.

Thinking of this, Cao Xilan felt a wave of desolation in her heart.

If only her father were still here, she wouldn’t have fallen into this predicament.

Throughout her escape, Cao Xilan kept thinking if only her father were still here; if only he hadn’t faced divine punishment. But she never thought, how is her father now? Is he suffering from the divine punishment? Not a single moment did these thoughts cross her mind.

...

Cao Xilan finally found a demon cultivator in the west willing to take her in.

But, life was not good.

She had to compete with other women of the demon cultivator, engage in intrigues and use all her skills to win the demon cultivator’s favor, just to stay by his side.

Li Suyi hadn’t appeared again, which made Cao Xilan breathe a sigh of relief.

Whether it was Li Suyi being wary of the demon cultivator’s strength or Li Suyi disdaining to come to the demon cultivator’s territory, either way, she was safe; Li Suyi wouldn’t come to kill her. Those righteous cultivators wouldn’t pursue her here either.

Relieved, Cao Xilan once again fought with the other demon cultivator’s women. Most of the demon cultivator’s women were not easy to provoke, each was ruthless and scheming, hiding knives behind their smiles, which left Cao Xilan mentally exhausted and filled with suffering. The demon cultivator seemed to enjoy watching her compete and bicker with the other women.

Cao Xilan guessed the demon cultivator’s intentions; formerly high and mighty, she was now forced to bow humbly, filled with humiliation, just to stay alive. This gave the demon cultivator a perverse pleasure and a feeling of strange achievement.

Demon cultivators and righteous cultivators were always opposed to each other.

Do demon cultivators hate righteous cultivators?

They hate them.

Clashes have occurred not once or twice. And each time it’s been a fight to the death.

Cao Yuanli and the Wanhe Sect have never shown mercy to demon cultivators.

Once the high and mighty peak master of Wanhe Sect, now struggling beneath a demon cultivator, which brought the demon cultivators comfort and excitement.

Did Cao Xilan know the demon cultivators’ thoughts? She knew.

Could she leave? She could. No one was stopping her.

But she didn’t want to leave anymore. Being hunted down and forced to flee or living humiliated but stable, she chose the latter.

If one demon cultivator grew tired of her, she could seek shelter with another.

...

Li Suyi quickly returned to the Heavenly Dao Sect.

Dong Xiao wondered, ”Back so soon? Took revenge on Cao Xilan?”

”No, I didn’t. I suddenly realized that letting her live is the best punishment for her.” Li Suyi had a look of relief between her brows; she had completely let go. Cao Xilan had become the very image she herself most hated, despised, and scorned; that was the best punishment for her, and it was all of Cao Xilan’s own choosing.
