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

Before Bai Qianqian arrived, Meng Yu was taking in the scene inside the cave dwelling.

With Bai Qianqian's arrival, the cave dwelling had much improved from before. She not only planted flowers and grass but also decorated the place meticulously, with stone tables, stone benches, and various ornaments, all done very well.

"Have you been here for a month already?"

Looking at his wife, whom he had yet to lay hands on, Meng Yu snorted coldly a few times.

"Mm."

Bai Qianqian stood before Meng Yu with lowered eyes and a compliant expression, ah no, a Golden Core Master standing politely before Meng Yu.

"How about we go back now? You transform into a dead rabbit, and I'll put you in, how about that?"

Meng Yu said with a sneer.

Although he didn't have a girlfriend on Azure Star, he'd heard plenty of complaints from friends, believing a woman's promise was just a sign of being foolish.

"I haven't been on a trip for a long time, let's travel nearby together, just once, okay? Once we go, I won't mention it again."

"Let's go here, it's a bit far, but once we return, I'll stay quietly at home without going out for two or three years."

Then, not even half a year after returning home, she'd excitedly say, "Dear, such and such place is really nice, shall we go again? Didn't you have fun last time?"

Although Bai Qianqian wasn't that kind of person, she was still a woman after all.

She promised to stay here peacefully for a month, but after just over ten days, she started to cautiously beat around the bush, using all kinds of reasoning to make her case to Meng Yu.

"Actually, we don't need to rush back. Moon-Watching Sect is doing very well. We ran away from home for half a year and nothing happened, so why must we go back?"

"The air is fresh here and I really like it. Don't you like it? This is our own little world."

"Are my massage skills good? Let me give you a back rub, you've had a hard day, it's what a wife should do."

"If you want to go back, that's okay too. Can I stay here and watch the house for you?"

"I'm so scared, what if I'm not here and those bad guys hurt you? I want to stay and help you."

If Bai Qianqian made all sorts of trouble, Meng Yu would, of course, ignore it, but then again?

The room was spotlessly clean, everything dust-free, and although all this was the work of the puppets and formations she had created, she was growing vegetables for Meng Yu to eat and heeding his every word.

For instance, her overwhelming desire to surf the internet—in the Immortal Sect, she had played offline single-player games, and she had been really looking forward to the online experience of the Immortal Sect. However, she strictly followed Meng Yu's orders, not even asking about it, and obeying all kinds of commands in daily life as well.

"Ah Yu, can I please stay? I'll be good and won't cause any trouble or pry into things."

Bai Qianqian pleaded pitifully, even crawling into Meng Yu's arms, her long ears ceaselessly brushing against Meng Yu's chin. Tears were about to fall.

She knew very well that if she followed Meng Yu back, it would just be her day trip to the Immortal Sect, and there definitely wouldn't be a next time.

Before Meng Yu came over next time, he would check every storage bag. If he found a dead rabbit, he would pull it out and spank it. Discover exclusive tales at My Virtual Library Empire

"...you, you really are..."

Meng Yu looked at the rabbit in his arms, his mouth twitching.

She didn't even think to hide in Phoenix Cry Mountain to keep from being discovered by him!

And moreover, she was doing it all for his own good!

"Qian Qian, there's something you must understand: I've hidden quite a few things from you and deceived you numerous times."

"Mm, I know. When robbing others, injury is inevitable. When learning to be bad, it's not necessarily others who have harmed you. Maybe the Immortal Sect hasn't wronged you... it's you..."

The rabbit's voice grew quieter and quieter, alright then, it seemed this scoundrel who always thought the moon of the Immortal Sect was rounder than that of the Western Wastes, considered himself a villain here.

Meng Yu's hand itched, but he still held back.

"I've come to ask you some questions. You must answer them truthfully, without concealment. This will decide our future, understand?"

"You ask."

"Do you dare to kill people? Simply put, to kill without mercy, cleanly and efficiently."

"I dare, I've also killed some bad people."

"After killing them, do you feel guilty, unable to sleep for a long time? For instance, if I asked you to strike someone you've never met."

"No, I'm a Golden Core Master, and my Divine Soul is crystal clear. If I can't maintain my true nature, how could I have founded the Moon-Watching Sect? For friends, disciples, and loved ones I can't bring myself to do it, but for those I don't know, as long as they dare to attack me or bear ill will, then I will act without hesitation."

"Thirdly, do you have any moral scruples about robbing the wealthy? Do you feel it's wrong?"

"None at all. When the sisters go out to rob those in the Foundation Establishment or Qi Cultivation phase and don't call for me, I even feel sad."

Alright then, Meng Yu patted his head. Bai Qianqian grew up in the Western Wastes, and although she was a decent rabbit, her worldview was very much skewed. She would pity the common folk, but she was no Holy Mother; she even created the Moon-Watching Sect, and without some form of punishment, how could she keep running it?

"Good, you first take a look at these things."

He placed a terminal in front of Bai Qianqian, with its camera and microphone removed.

This was a machine that could not connect to the Internet, but it had downloaded offline data from several major shopping websites.

Meng Yu was a decisive person. He once had a dream to turn the Moon-Watching Sect into his own safe haven, isolating Bai Qianqian from the outside, leaving the affairs of the Immortal Sect to the Immortal Sect, and those of the Western Wastes to the Western Wastes. But this time, Bai Qianqian had crossed the line, so...

He thought for a month, and made up his mind.

Some people become good for a pure and law-abiding lover, but Meng Yu was not such a person.

"Qian Qian, take a look at the prices," he said.

What's the best way to tempt an innocent girl into downfall? Take her shopping too.

One website after another appeared before Bai Qianqian.

"I..."

Magic Artifacts made by Immortal Sects appeared before her as Meng Yu set up filters for the kind that would make a Golden Core Master salivate and Foundation Establishment practitioners envious, and then, he selected mirrors among Magical Treasures.

Bai Qianqian's Magic Artifact was a Third Grade Treasure Mirror named the Water Cloud Mirror, which could conjure clouds and misty illusions, shield the six senses, darken the skies, and its cold water could even transform into various icy blades for attack.

However, this Magic Artifact was not a perfect fit for Bai Qianqian. At first glance, she saw a Third Grade Magical Instrument called the Moonlight Treasure Mirror.

"This Magical Instrument is modeled after the treasures used by those roasting chickens in Guanghan Palace, which is very compatible with the jade rabbit clan. If you use it, it will be like water is in the blue sky and clouds are on a plate, calm and tranquil for thousands of miles - simply magical," explained Meng Yu about how impressive the Third Grade Magical Instrument was and how it could merge with the full moon and the celestial being as one.

Then, cruelly, he flipped the page to show her a new projection, a mirror named the Supreme Yin Jade Disk.

It could gather the Supreme Yin Energy to temper oneself, aid in cultivation, and even attack opponents.

The mirror was so beautiful, and so well crafted.

And Meng Yu continued to flip through.

The Western Wastes were barren, and she didn't have many Spirit Stones. Having a Water Cloud Mirror already made her very happy.

She remembered her childhood, the first mirror her mother gave her was a First Grade Silver Mirror of the Dark Moon. She loved that mirror so much, she even slept on it until one day, it was stolen, and she cried for a long time. Poor as they were, she and her mother grew vegetables for several years before they could buy a new Magic Artifact, the cheapest Water Cloud Mirror. And now, she saw... thousands of Treasure Mirrors of different styles!

Golden Mirror of the Dark Sun, Silver Serpent Mirror, Glazed Jade Disk, Red Iron Thousand-Forged Mirror... Various Treasure Mirrors with different styles and functions appeared before her eyes.

"Are these prices marked wrong?" she asked, her voice trembling.

The price of the Spirit Stones was unbelievable to her.

"Yeah, it's too much. The prices at Myriad Treasures Pavilion are absolutely incomparable to those small shops. For example, the imitation of the Moonlight Treasure Mirror, priced at least double what it should be, actually costs a thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones. I think five hundred is the most it should be," Meng Yu said with a snort, noticing Bai Qianqian's fingers itching to make a purchase.

Indeed, in the Western Wastes, five hundred Middle-grade Spirit Stones might be a lot, but the price of a single Spirit Awakening Fruit is just one hundred Middle-grade Spirit Stones!

That means, with the price Bai Qianqian could buy twelve Spirit Awakening Fruits, she could afford two of the best Treasure Mirrors here, and play however she wanted!

But in the Western Wastes, the price starts at least at five thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones!

So, what were Bai Qianqian's Magical Treasures in the Moon-Watching Sect?

A Water Cloud Mirror, a few talismans, and a Second Order robe. That was all she had to her name for combat. Meng Yu felt a pang in his heart seeing such equipment.

"Do you want them? By the way, there are many other treasures aside from mirrors," he said.

Meng Yu pointed to various Treasure Mirrors, talismans, and jade beds on the Terminal, flipping through pages after pages of items like True Heavenly Water, Jade Spirit Grass, and the Peach Blossom Jade Bed. He deliberately paused for ten minutes, letting Bai Qianqian gaze until her eyes were fixated.

Although Bai Qianqian was a diligent rabbit, she also loved to sleep. This Peach Blossom Jade Bed could improve cultivation, make the fur of Exotic Beasts even better, condense Peach Blossom Mysterious Water, and was extremely comfortable to sleep on. The advertisements for it were simply too tempting...

"You think it over carefully, and we can talk more tomorrow," he said.

Meng Yu let her rest and then took out another terminal, logged onto the network with a safe account he obtained before.

The forums were calm, but on some other forums, there were many different voices.

For instance, many criticized Meng Yu for deleting posts, arguing it was wrong to erase the collective wisdom and efforts of the community.

Others called Meng Yu foolish, pointing out that many were claiming various patents and now that Meng Yu had destroyed the evidence, it was just what some needed to succeed.

For example, several professors were overjoyed, providing ample evidence that they were the original thinkers of certain ideas, like Ouyang Jindan, who looked composed during interviews, stating he was just following regulations, and that the Immortal Sect has been far too lenient with Meng Yu so far and so on.

Yes, she was a Golden Core Master, what did she have to fear?

Meng Yu chuckled and noted down the name.

The next chapter will probably arrive between seven and eight in the morning, as it is not yet written.
