Chapter 60 – Scheming Demoness and Cunning Fox

Although Wei Yuan was a sheltered lady of a prominent noble clan, she wasn't uneducated. When she figured that Xu Miao wanted to violate her, she took out her new high-graded broadsword and pointed it at him.

Xu Miao raised his hands, "Hey, I was kidding."

"Your tone and your eyes said that you meant it."

"Well, it wasn't a lie either. You can get stronger if you do it with me."

"Not a chance, young master Xu. You can blackmail me, but I won't sell my pride."

Wei Yuan got more courageous after she was around him for almost 2 days. She wasn't afraid of him anymore like when they first met.

"Oh, sure," Xu Miao rolled his eyes and pretended to give up trying to woo her. He muttered to himself, laying a bait, "Even if I tell you that you can obtain yin essence from having sex with me, you probably won't do it. Well, it doesn't matter. I don't want to be Wei Huang's grandson-in-law and join another clan. I already have enough trouble dealing with my mothers and her underlings."

Xu Miao indirectly hinted Wei Yuan that she could obtain him if she sacrificed her body to him. He picked up a few sheaths to compare with KQ's size and length, gesturing to Wei Yuan that he also possessed KQ, the lost treasure of the oni clan.

Xu Miao had three goals; getting the Wei Clan on his side, securing an escape route or a place to seek shelter in the case of emergency, and expanding his network.

Once the Wei Clan became his allies, he could bribe Wei Huang, who might be a hidden demon lord, to kill Xie Tian and fight Xu Xiuying. Xu Miao could also move into the Wei household to escape from Xu Xiuying's influence. And most importantly, having a connection with demonkins might be beneficial since all techniques that he had bought from the system were compatible with these demons.

Although Xu Miao didn't expect to make this move right now, it wouldn't hurt trying to bait this annoying demon girl when he had the chance.

"R-Really? W-Wait, you get yin essence by dual-cultivating?"

.

.

Wei Yuan was still too green behind the ears. By being reminded that Xu Miao could become Wei Huang's grandson-in-law, this girl gained an inspiration that her clan could steal Xu Miao and his treasures with a certain move.

A political marriage!

Coincidentally, Wei Yuan had three reasons that she might want to marry Xu Miao.

First, it was the benefit of dual cultivating.

Wei Yuan understood the difference between qi strands and essence. Once essence was equal 1,000 qi strands. Having one drop of yin essence was the same as having 1,000 strands of yin qi. However, the value of energy essence wasn't the exchangeable amount of qi strands.

All low-grade, medium-graded, and high graded techniques from various sects or noble clans were simple techniques that used Qi strands as an energy source, but there were higher tiers of skills that required essence instead of Qi.

Earth Grade, Sky Grade, and the Heaven Grade were the next three tiers that required many drops of essence to use. These top-grade techniques were usually the cores of a sect or a major clan, including demon tribes. These skills were necessary techniques for elites with 4th stage strength or stronger.

The Wei Clan had three earth-graded technique manuals. Two of them belonged to their oni tribes, and one of them was a human cultivator's technique. Wei Huang was currently keeping it to himself, but he had once told his grandchildren about their existence and its content.

The human technique was coincidentally a yin technique. It was called [Shadow Summoning], and the skill could create the caster's clones with 50% strength. However, if it was used during the night time, the clones could display 110% strength!

Because of the gender restriction, Wei Huang and other male onis in her clan couldn't cultivate yin essence to use this technique. However, if Wei Yuan were to be able to cultivate yin essence, she could inherit that technique. Then, she could raise the Wei Clan's status among the cultivator society.

The second reason that Wei Yuan needed him was the existence of Killer Queen, the heavenly sacred katana.

As Xu Miao was Killer Queen's current master, everywhere he went, the sacred katana would follow. Because of such a condition, Wei Yuan needed him to be a part of the Wei Clan. If Xu Miao could become a relative of the Wei Clan, the talking sword would also be a part of the Wei Clan, and her clan would benefit from it indirectly. Also, the unknown treasures inside Xu Miao's spatial ring might be shared with Wei Yuan, the official wife.

And lastly, it involved Xu Miao's secrets and potential as a cultivator. Wei Yuan had experienced his skill, Energy Drain, first handed, so she was aware of how crafty he was. If a first stage cultivator like him could use this skill and make everybody stronger than him helpless, he might hold a lot of secret techniques that she could extract from him.

In a way, Xu Miao had a lot of potentials, and he could be a good prospect to be her dao partner.

Judging the pros and cons, the Wei Clan would benefit greatly if she were to marry him!

Wei Yuan stared at Xu Miao as she was making a critical decision.

"Young master Xu Miao."

"What?"

"What do you think if the Xu Clan and the Wei Clan unite?"

"Pfft. That's impossible. My clan members are mostly slutty bitches. I don't think they are willing to open their legs for demons."

"That's not what I mean. Well, I'll be direct. I want to recruit you to our Wei Clan."

"But I'm the Xu Clan's young master. How can I be your clan member?"

"Err," Wei Yuan stuttered, embarrassed as she was too shy to propose him, but she mustered her courage and asked him nonetheless, "Marry me and join my clan!"

.

.

Looking at the shy demon girl, Xu Miao was on the verge of laughing out loud. Wei Yuan took the bait.

'Manipulating an innocent girl is too easy. I just hinted her something indirectly. Then, she believes that the idea comes from her, and she doesn't even have a speck of doubt.'

Since Wei Yuan was the one who pushed this matter forward, her grandfather, Wei Huang couldn't blame him that he had tricked her. Also, the elder would have lost face if he were to find out that his granddaughter proposed to a guy and he refused.

'It's done.'

Xu Miao sighed and smiled at Wei Yuan, "Ah, sure."

"Huh?"

"I said okay!"

"Wha-? That easy?"

"Did you expect me to refuse or retort? Like, hey! Are you a bitch trying to woo the great handsome me!?"

"S-Shut the fuck up! Who's trying to woo you!?"

"You just proposed me, didn't you?"

"..."

White smoke came out of Wei Yuan's ears. She was so embarrassed that her face was burning.

Using this opportunity, Xu Miao attempted to seal the deal, "Do you want me to prove that I agree to be your husband?"

"Err, no."

"Why not? Don't you want me, Killer Queen, and the treasures in my ring?"

"W-What do you mean? I only..."

"You're a greedy demon girl. I know that you're trying to poach me to your clan, so I can share some of my treasures with you. KQ is also a sacred weapon from your clan. It's obvious that you want them back."

"..."

Wei Yuan gritted her teeth. It was as Xu Miao had said. She felt bad that she acted like one of those prostitutes, who chased wealthy men to raise their status.

Xu Miao hugged her and patted her back, "But I don't mind you. You can use me, so let me use you as well."

Though Wei Yuan was shocked that Xu Miao suddenly hugged her, his words hinted that he wanted something from her clan as well. If this political marriage brought mutual benefits, there might be hope that both sides could compromise and compensate for each other.

"What's your goal? Be honest," Wei Yuan's face was solemn. The embarrassed expression was gone as the romantic confession turned into a business deal.

"I want Xie Tian dead."

"Oh? I thought your clan has recruited him."

"I have personal reasons. If your clan can help me kill him, I don't mind betraying my mother and changing my surname into Wei, and I'll also keep your true identity a secret."

"That's a tall call, young master Xu. Your mother won't agree easily."

"That's why I need your grandfather's help. Don't you want my items?"

"To be honest, I can just ask my grandfather to kill you and take back the katana and steal everything."

"But that will trigger a war between both clans. You understand what will happen, right?"

"..."

An innocent demon girl and a cunning fox negotiated their terms and revealed a few their cards. Each side had something they wanted from the other.

Xu Miao wanted manpower and the Wei Clan's strength to kill Xie Tian. Wei Yuan wanted Xu Miao's treasures, the sacred katana, and his promising dual-cultivation ability.

"... Say, when are you going to release me, young master Xu?" Wei Yuan tried to change the subject, so she could be freed from his arms.

"Don't you want to test my dual cultivation abilities? Don't you want to test if your dantian can contain yin essence?"

"That won't be necessary. I'm still a 2nd stage cultivator. Once my strength reaches the 4th stage, I'll request your service later."

"You sure?"

Xu Miao's erected rooster in his pants poked Wei Yuan's abdomen.

The girl sensed the warm thing hitting her belly. Her face reddened again.

"GET OFF ME, YOU JERK!!"

"Why? I thought you've proposed to me, and you're willing to be my wife."

"I've changed my mind! LET ME GO!!"

"Hahaha! Nope!"

Xu Miao dispelled small fireballs to turn off the light. At the same time, he sealed his lips with Wei Yuan's lips.

Wei Yuan circulated her demon Qi, planning to resist against Xu Miao's sexual assault. However, when his tongue entered her mouth and touched hers, Wei Yuan's mind went blank.

Xu Miao also used his notorious technique.

Stripper Swordsmanship, Basic Art, Fleeting Hands!

Within 2 seconds, Wei Yuan's clothes were stripped.

Sensing her demise, Wei Yuan pushed Xu Miao's face and freed her mouth. Her red eyes stared straight into his eyes.

"Take responsibility after this, or I'll tell everyone to come after you."

"No problem."

Xu Miao gently pushed her down, and Wei Yuan also stopped resisting.
