The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits

Chapter 521: Chapter 525 Beast Taming Queen (15)

The Little Phoenix nestled in Su Li’s Dantian had disrupted her plans.

She threw the rose halfway down the road and turned to leave without trailing any mess.

Rose: "..." She had been terrified all along the way, and then... what was this situation?

Her enemy had departed unexpectedly without concern, leaving Rose thinking things couldn’t get any worse.

But then...

Even though her enemy wasn’t nearby, she couldn’t harbor an ounce of malice; the constraint of the contract was pervasive.

Then, she wanted to leave this place first and return to her sect, but her journey was fraught with constant danger.

Her dreadful streak of bad luck caused her to be listless, utterly dulling the sharp intent of advancement she bore.

Just dealing with incessant mishaps exhausted her spirit so much that she lacked the energy to harbor resentment or hatred towards Su Li, which, in contrast, eased her state a bit.

Rose was proud. She once believed that a noble could not be insulted and would burst into rage at even a slight verbal offense.

But when she struggled between life and death, her pride proved worthless.

Survival was all that mattered.

In a daze, Rose sometimes wondered if she also played a part in the causation of all that had happened.

To say that Rose acknowledged her errors wouldn’t be accurate.

If she had continued to thrive and succeed, not only would she not have seen her faults, but she would have blamed others instead.

Su Li changed directions, slowly heading west, leisurely taking in the natural landscapes and local customs along the way.

When tired from her travels, she would find a mortal town and blend in unseen.

Another decade passed by in a flash.

Su Li had been a child, facing the gravest dangers of the human world.

She had also transformed into a young girl taken by force.

And she had been a handsome young man coveted by others.

...

She, along with the naive Little Phoenix in her Dantian, had endured the worst evils of time and also encountered pure goodness.

Little Phoenix’s white, blank mind was rapidly filled.

Human nature at its worst, human nature at its best.

The good become evil, and the evil also produce good.

In the tenth year, Su Li felt it was enough; the tender-hearted Little Phoenix had grown emotionally mature enough not to be easily deceived.

Since the soul of this body hadn’t entirely departed, Su Li had no intention of usurping it.

Once the dust settled, she planned to return the body to Little Phoenix.

After bidding farewell to the villagers of the small village she had lived in for a year, Su Li, carrying the Little Phoenix within her, returned to the Cultivation World.

She was preparing for Ascension since an enemy still resided in the Ninth Layer Heaven.

While looking for a suitable place for Ascension, she also heard bits about Rose.

People talked about her, no longer with envy or flattery but with a tinge of malign gossip.

They would say: Oh, you mean the once-genius disciple of the Beast Taming Sect...

After some suggestive gesturing, they added: What kind of genius is she? There are many stronger than her... You don’t know, she still thinks she is the protected figure of the sect from ten years ago, dared to fight over a man with the Lady of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, completely reckless... Now she must realize how formidable it is, the Lady has declared not only to ruin her face but also to banish her from ever setting foot in the Cultivation World again.

Su Li almost forgot that such a character existed.

Not only had Su Li forgotten, but Mei Gui herself had selectively forgotten that she was still a servant contracted to an Exotic Beast.

Looking back on that day, Mei Gui wanted to return to her sect, but repeatedly encountered accidents, and it was not easy reaching the sect. The elders and disciples in the sect who used to treat her kindly had all changed their faces.

The Sect Leader, upon seeing her, sent a probing beam of light her way.

After carefully studying the situation on her body, he left angrily with a flick of his sleeves.

With the attitude of the Sect Leader set as a precedent, and after everyone discovered that Mei Gui could no longer contract any Exotic Beast, they started forcefully turning everyone against her, adding insult to injury.

Various insults laden with malice followed one after another.

Some also discovered that after Mei Gui had lost her previous luck, they did not hold back.

At this moment, Mei Gui felt that the so-called betrayal of her past life, which she had always brooded over, was insignificant compared to what she was suffering now.

Unable to contract a beast, she was like a Fierce Beast without claws, and everyone could step on her.

The skills and killing techniques Mei Gui was proud of were laughable in the eyes of the cultivators, as if a child was wielding a knife.

She inadvertently offended the lady of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, who then made her life utterly unbearable.

She had merely retorted a few times and was hated for it.

At this time, she finally understood the feelings of those she had oppressed and held grudges against.

The lady of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect was truly poisonous, not just in heart but also in methods.

Ruining half of Mei Gui’s face was not enough; she forced her out of the Cultivation World.

As for why she did not directly kill her, the lady said that watching someone gaze enviously at a great treasure yet unable to touch it was very amusing～

To cultivate for eternal life, to traverse the skies, was indeed a great treasure. Yet as a cultivator, Mei Gui could only live in the Mortal World like a Mortal World woman, watching her beauty fade and aging till the end of her life.

Was there anything more cruel than forcing someone with great aspirations to accept a life that runs counter to their goals?

Su Li heard all this and let go completely.

She knew that this cold-hearted female assassin, without luck or the support of a Great Power, given her poisonous and foolish nature, would not survive many years.

It’s not that there’s no retribution; the time just hasn’t come yet.

------------

The grand Ascension catastrophe appeared again just like ten years ago, attracting various formidable people, still guessing which old ancestor had broken through and was about to ascend to the Upper Realm.

The result was a sour disappointment.

How could it be this person again, an old acquaintance too.

They wanted to ascend, but despite desperately yearning, they struggled immensely and couldn’t find the way, while for others, ascension was as easy as a game, once not enough, then twice.

The jealousy was overwhelming.

While breaking through the barriers of this small world, Su Li casually pulled a golden thread from inside her body.

It was a servant contract under the certification of Heavenly Dao.

Su Li squeezed gently, and the golden thread completely vanished into nothingness.

Far away, in the Human World, ten thousand miles apart, Mei Gui suddenly convulsed and fell to the ground, causing those around her to disdainfully avoid her, thinking she had contracted some severe madness.

The city guards quickly appeared, disregarding Mei Gui who was spitting blood profusely, grabbed her by the foot and dragged her out of the city, throwing her beyond the city walls.

Mei Gui felt the Spiritual Energy within her body rapidly depleting, but she was powerless, only able to watch in horror as the Spirit Veins within her body were drained dry, the excessive escape of Spiritual Power causing irreversible damage to her body’s Spirit Veins.

In short, she no longer had the potential to cultivate.

Even feeling the servant contract that had been restraining her deep within her soul disappear into nothing did not bring her a more relaxed smile.
