Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Wish Check-in Machine

Chapter 36 The Villainous Female Supporting Character in Immortal Cultivation (18)

Having figured out the crux of the matter, Xia Mingwei felt that the days ahead would be much easier!

Under Xia Mingwei's meticulous care, the fox demon's health improved day by day. From being confined to bed to now being able to get out of bed and walk a few steps, all of this was thanks to Xia Mingwei.

During the time the fox demon was recuperating, the annual Flower Hairpin Festival in the human world arrived.

The so-called "Hairpin Flower Festival" was a day for young men and women of marriageable age to go out and play together. On this day, they would exchange gifts to express their affections.

Bai Yaoyao certainly wouldn't miss such an opportunity to strengthen their relationship, so she dragged Mo Yuan and Yan Sheng along early in the morning to join in the fun.

Xia Mingwei felt that today was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so she walked to the fox demon's side and patted her.

She looked at the fox demon's tightly closed eyes and sighed, "Stop pretending to be asleep, they've all gone out! If you want to leave, today is a good opportunity!"

Upon hearing this, the fox demon's eyelashes trembled a few times, but she finally opened her eyes.

"Are you really willing to let me go?" The fox demon looked at Xia Mingwei and continued to ask tentatively.

"I never intended to stop you!"

The fox demon paused for a moment, then laughed, "That's right, it was that girl who was traveling with you all along who wanted to take my life!"

"You should know that wealth has always been a powerful motivator! As long as this inner core stays in your chest cavity, she will never give up on it!"

"If I leave today, how will you explain it?"

Hearing this, Xia Mingwei raised her eyelids slightly and looked at her, "Why should I need them to explain? Isn't it perfectly normal for you to leave after you've recovered from your injuries?"

Hearing Xia Mingwei's words, the fox demon smiled gently. Her beauty was breathtaking, truly captivating.

"Young lady, I am indebted to you today. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay you!" The fox demon said these words to Xia Mingwei with a firm look in his eyes.

"What if I said that I let you go not because I'm kind-hearted, but simply because I wanted to annoy Bai Yaoyao? Would you still repay me?" Xia Mingwei said this to the fox demon with a playful tone.

The fox demon was stunned by Xia Mingwei's words and remained silent for a long time.

Seeing the fox demon's silent demeanor, Xia Mingwei gently patted her shoulder and said, "I saved you without expecting anything in return. Don't give away your gratitude so easily next time. If you encounter another bad person, you'll only end up hurting yourself!"

After listening to Xia Mingwei's words, the fox demon seemed to be deep in thought, and then sincerely said to Xia Mingwei again, "Thank you! You rescued me from this whirlpool of repaying a debt of gratitude. Perhaps from today onwards, because of your words, I will usher in a new and different life!"

"Then I wish you all your dreams come true soon!" Xia Mingwei offered her sincere blessings to the fox demon.

"Alright, it's getting late. You should leave now! Once they come back, you won't have another chance!"

"Then I'm leaving. Take care! Here, take this jade pendant. If you have the chance to visit Qingqiu in the future, I will treat you well!" The fox demon said, taking a jade pendant from his waist and handing it to Xia Mingwei.

Seeing this, Xia Mingwei did not refuse any further and accepted the jade pendant.

After saying these words, the fox demon turned and left.

In the following days, Xia Mingwei began to do something else—wait patiently for them to return.

As soon as Bai Yaoyao returned to the inn, she found Xia Mingwei standing alone outside the door. Her heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition swept over her.

She rushed into the room, lifted the bed curtains, and sure enough, she didn't see the fox demon.

She ran out again and questioned Xia Mingwei, "Where's the fox demon? Why is she gone?"

Xia Ming shrugged and replied nonchalantly, "You're gone? You left not long after you went out!"

"Why didn't you stop her?"

"Why should I stop her? It's perfectly normal for her to leave once she's recovered, isn't it?"

"I was just worried that her injury hadn't fully healed!" Bai Yaoyao smiled, but the smile looked forced no matter how you looked at it.

At this moment, Mo Yuan walked over and said, "Alright, Yao Yao! Since she's left, she's left. It's no big deal!"

“Brother Yuan, you’re right. I was just too surprised. I took care of her for so long, how could she leave without even saying goodbye!” Bai Yaoyao explained to Mo Yuan, her neck stiff.

Hearing this, Xia Mingwei scoffed inwardly, "If I told you, would I still be able to leave?"

In truth, Bai Yaoyao was dissatisfied with this outcome. She had planned for so long, determined to obtain this inner core. If she got the fox demon's inner core, she was confident that her cultivation would advance to the next level, and perhaps even her appearance would improve unexpectedly. For this, she had even gone so far as to expose her flaws. But all of this was ruined by Xia Mingwei. She let the fox demon go, meaning that all her previous plans, no matter how good they were, had come to nothing.

At this moment, Bai Yaoyao's resentment towards Xia Mingwei had reached its peak, and her eyes were full of hostility.

She clenched her fists, wanting to speak several times, but ultimately chose to remain silent. She took a deep breath, trying to suppress her anger. "Weiwei, next time something like this happens, please discuss it with us before making a decision!"

"Okay!" Xia Mingwei replied perfunctorily, but looking into Bai Yaoyao's resentful eyes, she knew there wouldn't be a next time. After today, Bai Yaoyao would definitely lose her temper and make her move against her!

Actually, Xia Mingwei was a little curious about Bai Yaoyao's next move, wondering what kind of tricks she would use to deal with her.

Xia Mingwei's prediction was correct; Bai Yaoyao had been unusually quiet these past few days.

Her listless appearance worried Yan Sheng, who was standing nearby. "Yaoyao, what's wrong? If something's on your mind, you can tell me!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yaoyao's eyes welled up with tears, and she threw herself into Yan Sheng's arms. "Asheng, I'm still not reconciled! I hate Xia Mingwei!"

This was the first time Bai Yaoyao had ever taken such initiative in treating Yan Sheng. In the past, he was always the one fawning over Bai Yaoyao; he never expected that he would actually receive her "favor" in his lifetime.

For this hard-won "favor", Yan Sheng made up his mind that he would get rid of Bai Yaoyao's thorn in her side - Xia Mingwei.
