Female Pervert Psychopath?

“Mm, the information I received is roughly the same, though not as detailed as your sect’s investigation.”
“You even found out exactly where she’ll appear in three days.”

Li Ziyue nodded. From Su Wanqing’s report, it was clear the Red Embroidery Sect had chosen the right partner—Heavenly Sword Pavilion was truly reliable.

She didn’t know when they started investigating, but from the moment the two sides made contact, it had only been one day, and they already had everything this clear. Impressive.

Of course, since this was a cooperation—and a major demon-slaying operation at that—Li Ziyue had no intention of hiding anything from Su Wanqing.

As the one responsible for the Red Embroidery Sect’s mistake, she openly shared every detail about the fox demon.

Although the fox was Golden Core stage, it was mid-stage Golden Core.

Add to that the innate physical superiority of demons—their bodies were an entire major realm stronger than human cultivators of the same level.

Even among the physically weaker fox clans, a late-stage Golden Core fox demon’s body was on par with her own Nascent Soul physique.

Thus, even though she could instantly kill ordinary Golden Core cultivators, she had no confidence in erasing the fox before it escaped.

But no matter how strong its body was, it still couldn’t defeat a true Nascent Soul.

As long as Su Wanqing assisted three days from now—preventing the vixen from fleeing or buying her some time—Li Ziyue could annihilate it.

“May I ask Elder Su’s current cultivation level?”

Li Ziyue looked at the seemingly deep-in-thought Su Wanqing.

After all, if she were only early Golden Core, she might not even be able to stall the fox—and could very well lose her life.

“Mid Golden Core. Just one step away from late-stage.”

Su Wanqing replied with a frown, still recalling the original plot and planning her next moves.

“…Then I’m relieved.”

Normally, Nascent Soul venerables referred to themselves as “this seat,” but Li Ziyue didn’t care for such formalities.

However, she visibly paused before speaking, staring a little too intently.

Not that she could be blamed—Su Wanqing’s outfit today was the culprit.

Compared to yesterday’s neutral, charm-suppressing attire, today she had returned to feminine clothing, her full feminine allure on display.

Realizing her strange behavior, the usually composed Li Ziyue actually shook her head to snap herself out of it.

What was wrong with her today?

Why did she space out?

Why did Elder Su suddenly look so stunning?

Even the fragrance from her sachet was intoxicating…

Though the Red Embroidery Sect was a major sect in Mengyun Continent, it was famously a “nunnery sect.”

While they didn’t force disciples to cultivate the Heartless Path, they strictly enforced purity and few desires—no entering the secular world, no romantic entanglements.

Violators faced decades of confinement at best, or expulsion with cultivation crippled at worst.

Anyone who became an elder had to pass a heart-examination treasure, proving absolute purity of mind.

So when this feeling arose, even Li Ziyue found it bizarre.

Had her cultivation gone wrong? Was her dao heart deviating?

Why else would she feel such peculiar admiration for another woman—Elder Su, no less?

“…”

She silently watched the pondering Su Wanqing, trying to prove she could resist this strange stirring.

But soon gave up.

For some reason, even after passing the heart-examination treasure, she couldn’t resist.

It was like smoke—seeping through any crack.

Of course, Li Ziyue would never realize that any woman who hadn’t perfected the Heartless Path felt exactly the same around Su Wanqing.

After all, her titles—“Icy Succubus” and “King of All Women”—were not unearned.

And the fragrance she smelled wasn’t from a sachet, but Su Wanqing’s charm bone scent.

Having rushed over after this morning’s chaos, the scent hadn’t fully dissipated. It was still quite strong.

Since she herself couldn’t smell it, she hadn’t paid much attention before entering to talk.

“Hm…”

Su Wanqing, however, remained oblivious to Li Ziyue’s abnormality, still recalling the plot.

In the original novel, the heroine was captured and enslaved by the fox demon.

The fox then fought Li Ziyue and a demonic path witch separately.

During the chaos of battle, the heroine escaped and sought refuge by joining the nearby Heavenly Sword Pavilion.

She was later taken in as a disciple by Elder Lü, an alchemist, and the main story began.

She had interactions with Qiao Jinxuan, Chen Xueli, and others, and there was even a deliberate contrast between the righteous heroine and the villainess Chen Xueli.

The reason both the fox and the demonic witch targeted her was her special eyes.

Having awakened the Heavenly Dao Record, her eyes and hair gradually turned from black to bright gold.

At the start of the story, during the transformation, she developed rare heterochromia—which attracted their attention.

Li Ziyue was simply here to slay the fox.

“Hiss—”

Thinking of the demonic witch who also fought over the heroine, Su Wanqing shuddered and hurriedly began discussing the plan.

“Elder Li, since you’ve shared intel on the fox demon and I’ve located her movements, we should make a plan.”

“…Very well.”

Suddenly facing Su Wanqing’s serious gaze, Li Ziyue was still somewhat dazed. After a pause, she nodded.

Seeing this, Su Wanqing couldn’t help but feel this Nascent Soul big shot was unreliable.

At a time like this, she’s spacing out?

Was this the relaxed confidence of absolute power?

Of course, Su Wanqing had no idea Li Ziyue wasn’t zoning out from arrogance—but from staring at her.

But Li Ziyue quickly snapped back and stated her idea.

“According to you, Elder Su, the fox will pass through the forest outside town around 9–11 a.m. in three days, heading to a nearby village.”

“Why don’t we ambush her deep in the woods?”

“Inside the forest, it’s easy to hide one’s figure, and the scent of trees masks aura.”

“With concealment spells, we can catch her completely off guard.”

Unexpectedly, Su Wanqing vehemently rejected the plan.

“No way!”

The moment she heard it, Su Wanqing slammed the table in agitation, forgetting all decorum.

“We must strike before she enters the forest. Once she’s inside—”

“Forgive me for refusing. Even without payment, I will not follow.”

“Why?”

Li Ziyue was puzzled. Ambushing in the forest was clearly optimal. Su Wanqing should know that—why refuse so strongly?

“No means no.”

“Are you hiding something, Elder Su?”

Seeing such a firm stance, Li Ziyue began to suspect ulterior motives or concealed dangers.

Even if momentarily affected by Su Wanqing’s beauty, she hadn’t lost her reason.

The intent was too obvious—impossible not to suspect.

“…”

Faced with the question, Su Wanqing didn’t know how to answer.

The reason for her refusal was one person—the demonic witch who, in the original story, would encounter Li Ziyue and the fox mid-battle in the deep forest!

According to the novel, she would appear halfway through their fight.

Su Wanqing absolutely could not meet that woman!

Absolutely not! Even forgoing payment, she would never risk it!

In her eyes, being bullied by Chen Xueli for life was a thousand times better than encountering that lunatic!

If Chen Xueli, the villainess, was a longevity-obsessed madwoman…

Then that demonic saintess was a genuine female psychopath!

In terms of villain dedication, that woman was undisputed number one!

Her personality was pure “yandere pervert”—a true sicko bad woman!

And the reason Su Wanqing feared her so much?

Simple: the saintess was extremely fond of beautiful women.

But her standards were sky-high—only those more beautiful than herself.

And her beauty rivaled Chen Xueli’s.

In the entire cultivation world, the only one Su Wanqing knew who surpassed her… was herself.

She was the top candidate to be knocked out and dragged back as the saintess’s “mountain wife”!

If they crossed paths and she was targeted—her life was over!

Chen Xueli bullied her hard enough?

That woman’s “training” methods were ten, a hundred, a thousand times crueler!

Just imagining being kidnapped, Su Wanqing’s mind flashed with every infamous yandere “taming” scene from the sick novels she’d read in her previous life.

And she knew that saintess would play even dirtier!

So she must refuse!

She absolutely must refuse to enter the forest!

She could not meet that female pervert psychopath—or she’d be broken beyond repair!
