The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

The Demon Refining Pot, a Hongmeng Dao Artifact, could refine a mere Golden Core Stage human with absolute ease.

This irresistible, mighty force forcibly altered Chen Dong’s physical body. It even condensed a Demon Pill inside him. Chen Dong felt that if he activated the Demon Pill, he could even manifest the true form of a Demon.

A moment later, Chen Dong’s hair had turned silver-white, and his body had become much more robust. Two Demon Patterns appeared on his face, and his entire being exuded a fierce demonic aura.

Chen Dong assessed his new body. It didn’t actually feel much different from before, as if he had always been a member of the Demon Race. He then activated the Demon Pill in his body. His form suddenly contorted, and in an instant, he transformed into a fifty-foot-tall Proud Moon Wolf.

Liu Ling looked on, quite satisfied. ”Not bad, not bad at all. Now no demon will be able to recognize you. Besides, the Proud Moon Wolf Demon is the natural enemy of the Fox Race. The Fox Demon King is sure to find you memorable!”

The moment Chen Dong heard this, he collapsed to the ground. ”What? The Proud Moon Wolf Demon is the natural enemy of the Fox Race, and you want me to go seduce the Fox Demon King? Forget falling for me, won’t she just bite my head off?!”

Liu Ling’s brow furrowed slightly. ”Didn’t you choose this one yourself? I thought you knew.”

Chen Dong was indignant. ”I don’t even know what kind of demon this is, so how could I have known?!”

Liu Ling frowned. ”That’s true. The Proud Moon Wolf Demon went extinct during the last Spiritual Qi cycle, so there are no longer any records of them. However, the Fox Demon Race will recognize you in a single glance, thanks to their bloodline instincts!”

Chen Dong shook his wolf head. ”No way, no way. Change it, change it! You said the Fox Demon King is at the Nascent Soul Peak Realm. If I go like this, it’s a suicide mission!”

Liu Ling tilted her head as well. ”But isn’t there that story about the sheep who fell in love with the wolf? Doesn’t a love that transcends hatred seem all the more sincere?”

’Chen Dong knew it. This girl was just an armchair strategist, no better than him. Some kind of romance script? What a load of crap! If he went like this, he’d be torn to shreds and then eaten alive!’

”You have to change it! I can’t possibly defeat the Fox Demon King. The story you’re imagining will never get off the ground!” Chen Dong protested.

Liu Ling thought for a moment. ”You’re right. But you must choose carefully this time. Your body can’t withstand multiple refinings. Twice in three months is already the limit. If you choose wrong this time, there won’t be any more do-overs!”

Chen Dong nodded his wolf head.

Liu Ling smiled sweetly. ”So, let’s just go with the Golden Emperor Bull!”

Chen Dong shot Liu Ling a cold glare with his wolf eyes. ’He really didn’t understand why she was so keen on recommending the Golden Emperor Bull. Was it just because it was strong?’

Tens of thousands of demonic phantoms swirled before him, dazzling his wolf eyes. None of them felt right. The Fox Demon King had cultivated all the way to Nascent Soul Peak, yet even with the drive of her bloodline, she hadn’t found a single being to fall in love with. Clearly, none of these were good choices.

Even with the influence of the previous Fox Demon King, she probably looked down on them from the bottom of her heart.

The phantoms Liu Ling presented were all beings that could appear in the Floating Shadow Realm. None of them had bloodlines that reached immortal or divine grade, which was why he didn’t see any True Dragons or True Phoenixes. Then again, it would be illogical for someone at Chen Dong’s Realm to transform into a being with such a bloodline. A newborn True Phoenix, for example, would be stronger than Chen Dong was now.

So, Chen Dong said, ”Aren’t you from the Spirit Race? Just turn me into a Spirit that’s skilled in Fire or Thunder Techniques.”

After a moment’s thought, he added, ”She’s the Frost Fox Demon King, so a Thunder Technique specialty would be better. I’m afraid she’d be repulsed by a Fire Spirit.”

Liu Ling frowned. ”The Spirit Race isn’t known for being emotional. Are you sure you want to become a Spirit? You won’t be very memorable that way. The Fox Demon King might not even remember you after a single glance.”

Chen Dong snorted. ”It’d be a miracle if your plan worked. Just make me a Spirit skilled in Thunder Techniques!”

”Fine!” Liu Ling conceded. She gathered a ball of Demonic Power in her hand and struck Chen Dong with it once more.

The great power of heaven and earth enveloped him. A moment later, Chen Dong returned to his human form. He had black hair and black eyes, and his face and figure weren’t drastically different from his original self, yet it wasn’t his old face either. He looked a bit more devilish.

Chen Dong was still a little doubtful. He worried that the Demon Race would see through him. Although he had a Demon Pill inside him, he couldn’t transform into his true body.

Liu Ling saw Chen Dong’s doubt and explained, ”Don’t worry, you are now one hundred percent a demon. Your true body is a Thunder Stone. Most Spiritual Demon Race members can’t revert to their true bodies after taking human form, so you have nothing to worry about.”

Chen Dong finally relaxed. ’A Hongmeng Dao Artifact wouldn’t make a mistake on something like this, anyway.’

Next, Liu Ling struck herself with a ball of Demonic Power, transforming into a jade pendant that looped directly around Chen Dong’s neck.

The jade pendant spoke, ”There, that’s better. Now, let’s go straight to Immortal Fox City!”

As soon as the words fell, a flash of brilliant light erupted. Chen Dong vanished on the spot. When he reappeared, he was already outside Immortal Fox City in the Northern Territory. Immortal Fox City was originally the northernmost city of the Human Race, called Mu Xue City. After it was conquered by the Demon Race, it was given to the Fox Demon Race and renamed Immortal Fox City.

Chen Dong had walked less than a mile forward when he saw numerous humans entering and leaving the city, much like within the Guardian Array.

Chen Dong joined the line of people waiting to enter the city. It was then he noticed that there were also many demons in the crowd. Furthermore, the young demons guarding the city gate all had large, silver-white tails.

This scene, where the Human Race and Demon Race seemed to coexist as equals, made Chen Dong marvel.

He then sent a voice transmission to Liu Ling, who was in the form of the jade pendant. ”Are you sure the Fox Demon King is in this city? The Fox Demon Race’s original territory is farther north.”

Liu Ling sent back, ”I knew her from before. Her aura is definitely in this city. Because she has yet to fall in love, she often resides in the city to comprehend the Power of Red Dust!”
