141: The Demon

Under Nine's reluctant gaze, the Flying Ship Warship slowly departed.

As for Mei Niang, she never showed her face the whole time, always hiding in the secret chamber, pretending to Cultivate, and also to avoid an awkward meeting.

It wasn't until the Qingqiu Fox Country was out of sight that Li Daoxuan walked into the secret chamber of the ship's cabin.

"Mei Niang, stop pretending to Cultivate in there."

"We have already left the Qingqiu Fox Country, you can come out for some fresh air."

The Flying Ship Warship was not moving fast, and the two came to the deck, enjoying the scenery and chatting.

"By the way, Mei Niang, you haven't talked about yourself in detail yet."

"We're idle, why don't you tell me?"

Li Daoxuan only knew that Mei Niang was from the Arctic Ice Fox Clan; he knew nothing else and had never heard her mention anything about her past.

"You want to understand my past?"

"Yes!"

Mei Niang fell into contemplation and recollection, thinking of her youthful recklessness, and of her father and mother.

To ease the atmosphere, Li Daoxuan joked, "You're not running away from a marriage, are you?"

Hu Meiniang was stunned, then gave Li Daoxuan a roll of her eyes.

Hmm? The familiar feeling was back.

Li Daoxuan found Mei Niang's eye-rolling particularly cute, alluring, and full of charm.

"I haven't encountered anything that melodramatic."

"I... I ran away from home." Mei Niang was a little embarrassed.

"Are you that willful?"

"Hmph! Who hasn't had a time of youthful recklessness? I'm no exception."

Li Daoxuan was very surprised; a person as dignified and steady as Mei Niang actually had such a childish phase.

As a top young Genius of the Arctic Ice Fox Clan, Hu Meiniang was naturally arrogant, adventurous, and eager to undergo trials to enter a higher Realm.

She even declared that she wouldn't return home until she reached the Great Ascension Stage.

Reality was indeed cruel, and this world was also cruel; after leaving the Arctic Ice Fox Clan, she discovered that there were many people in this world more Genius than her.

Only after numerous close calls did she truly understand herself.

Unexpectedly stranded in the Eastern Desolate Lands, she was a bit too embarrassed to go home.

However, between life and death, there is great terror, but also great Opportunity; ever since she was with Li Daoxuan, she had become open-minded about everything.

So, she wanted to go home and see if her relatives were doing well.

As the two chatted, Li Daoxuan suddenly felt hungry; no, it was that he hadn't eaten meat in a long time and missed the taste.

Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up; how could he have forgotten that thing?

Li Daoxuan took out a set of barbecue grills, then pulled out a 'large chicken wing' several hundred feet long.

Mei Niang asked in astonishment, "What are you going to do?"

"Roast chicken wings!"

Mei Niang: "???"

A Yao Beast of the Great Ascension Stage was a treasure all over; just this chicken wing, no, this hawk wing, could be refined into a Flying Spirit Treasure.

A pair of hawk wings, after being refined into a Spirit Treasure, could inherit some of the Wind-Riding Violet Lightning Hawk's attributes, greatly enhancing the Spirit Treasure's power.

Li Daoxuan actually... ate it directly?

While Mei Niang was momentarily stunned, Li Daoxuan had already started plucking feathers.

"This is truly a waste of heavenly resources; if this were refined into a Spirit Treasure..." Mei Niang said, and then began to collect the feathers, knowing that the feathers on the hawk's wings were the sharpest.

"You like it?"

"Hmph!"

Li Daoxuan was an Artifact Refining Great Master; how could he not understand the preciousness of these hawk wings? However, the use of this flesh and blood was not great.

Feathers, wing bones, along with essence blood and various metals, could be refined into a Spirit Treasure.

Li Daoxuan quickly cleaned it up, then directly roasted it with alchemical fire, which left Mei Niang speechless.

But once the 'large chicken wing' was roasted, Mei Niang no longer complained.

"So fragrant!"

In front of Li Daoxuan, Mei Niang didn't care about her demeanor; she held a section of the 'large chicken wing' with both hands, gnawing on it with great relish.

"Hey! Watch your image; you are a future queen, you should be dignified, poised, and graceful."

"Give me another large piece of chicken wing!"

The two ate with immense satisfaction, and Li Daoxuan took out two more jars of fine wine, which were indeed Qiongyu Jade Liquid.

Seeing the Qiongyu Jade Liquid, a hint of shyness flashed in Mei Niang's eyes.

This reminded her of their first time...

As the two were happily eating, suddenly, an overwhelming Devilish Qi emanated from ahead; the black Qi rose like smoke, soaring into the sky.

Mei Niang exclaimed, "What is that?"

Li Daoxuan's eyes flickered; his Divine Power of Insight looked into the distance.

"It seems to be Devil Cultivators fighting, but it's a bit strange."

Mei Niang became interested and gossiped, "What's so strange? Hurry up and tell me."

Li Daoxuan said strangely, "It looks like they've had an internal conflict; their own people are actually fighting their own people."

"Looking at their attire, Moves, and Cultivation Techniques, they should belong to the same Sect."

"Quick, let's get closer and see." Mei Niang also didn't mind making things bigger; she excitedly urged Li Daoxuan to get closer.

Under normal circumstances, when encountering such a situation, one would flee in haste; who would deliberately approach to watch? Isn't that provoking both sides of the battle?

"Just get closer and take a look!"

"We've had smooth sailing all the way; it's too boring."

"Alright!"

Li Daoxuan knew there were Devil Cultivators, but he had rarely seen them and had never dealt with them.

It was his first time seeing so many Devil Cultivators, so it would definitely be a lie to say he wasn't curious.

Li Daoxuan was also bold due to his superb skills.

The Flying Ship Warship, in stealth mode, quickly approached the battlefield.

At this moment, Mei Niang could also see the general situation clearly and exclaimed, "Heavenly Demon Sect!"

"These are all Disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect; why are they fighting?"

"Too shameless!"

Mei Niang couldn't help but curse directly; on the battlefield, a group of Heavenly Demon Sect Disciples were actually ganging up on one person.

Moreover, the person being besieged was a 'weak' woman.

"Li Daoxuan, look quickly, that group of big men are actually ganging up on a weak woman; it's truly detestable."

Li Daoxuan's mouth twitched; which eye of yours saw her as a weak woman? Looking at her decisive, lethal, and merciless methods, one knew that this woman was also a ruthless person.

"Li Daoxuan, should we help her?"

Li Daoxuan said helplessly, "Sister, look at the situation on the field; that woman has the absolute advantage."

"Also, that woman is not a weak woman; she is also a Disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect."

"Oh! You're right, then let's continue watching."

Li Daoxuan and Hu Meiniang instantly became spectators, and Li Daoxuan even commented with great interest.

"Look, that woman is very powerful; if this Move..."

However, at this moment, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed.

The woman who had originally suppressed everyone was suddenly attacked from behind, and then was sent flying with a palm strike.

"Pfft! Cough, cough, cough~"

"It's you? How could you possibly defeat me?"

"Hehehe~ Do you think I'm still the me from before? I am no longer myself, hahahaha..."

The woman frowned and angrily said, "A bunch of traitors! I never thought that the Heavenly Demon Sect's ten-thousand-year foundation would be destroyed in the hands of you traitors."

"I'm not reconciled..."
