Chapter 154 If She Is a Demon, What Can Buddha Do To Me?
After the great war between the three races, the cultivation world was basically dominated by the demon race, and there were no more Buddhist cultivators to be seen.
Qingmo will travel around, scavenging resources everywhere. Don't worry, she definitely won't steal any land. It wouldn't be good if she were struck by lightning.
Visiting various sects, venturing into forbidden areas, and plundering the people's wealth—all of this is reasonable, after all, she built this empire.
Well, how should I put it about the demons...?
Although the world belongs to us, why does it feel like life is getting harder?
All the spirit stones offered as tribute ended up in Qingmo's pocket. What did they get in return? They got to work overtime and work 996 (9am-9pm, 6 days a week). Now, in addition to managing the demon race, they also have to manage whether the other two races are offering tribute on time.
That bastard Qingmo didn't give me a single reward.
He simply said in a nonchalant tone, "In this great battle, my demon race suffered heavy casualties, but rest assured, I will not forget them, nor will I forget you. I will remember your contributions and reward you handsomely in the future."
The crowd dared not speak out in anger and could only acquiesce. They had shed blood and sweat for the Demon Lord, but they did not know when the Demon Lord would come to be.

Qingmo paid no attention to her subordinates' resentment and continued to do as she pleased. She was there to stockpile goods, not to be a proper leader and make empty promises.
The cultivation world is now nearly half empty, and it's so quiet and not fun. So Qingmo went to the mortal world.
One day, she went to a brothel for drinks and met an interesting courtesan.
Qingmo held a wine glass in her hand, and behind her were two scantily clad women who massaged her shoulders and poured her wine.
Qingmo looked at the woman on the stage with a half-smile. The woman was extremely beautiful, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was stunningly beautiful. Every gesture she made was full of charm and allure. However, this was not what attracted Qingmo.
Yao, a little fox demon, and a fox demon with a very pure bloodline.
"who is she?"
Upon hearing her question, the woman behind her paused, looked up, and said with a fawning expression, "Your Excellency, that person is Mei Jiu, the most beautiful courtesan in our brothel. Sir, would you like to invite her over for a drink?"
Qingmo took a gold ingot out of her pocket and threw it on the table. The woman picked up the gold, immediately beaming as she left the private room.
A moment later, the woman whispered a few words in the little fox's ear. The little fox looked up at the private room on the second floor, met Qingmo's gaze, nodded in acknowledgment, and then went down the stage to follow the woman.
When the woman came in again, she still stood respectfully behind Qingmo, pouring wine, while the little fox sat down on its own without saying a word.
Why is your breathing so weak?
Upon hearing this, the little fox was startled, stood up and took two steps back, looking at Qingmo in disbelief.
"You, who are you?"
Qingmo sipped her wine and smiled, "Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking me questions? Don't be alarmed, I'm just curious and have no ill intentions."
Seeing that Qingmo's expression was calm and she didn't seem to be lying, the little fox gestured for the others in the private room to leave. The two women looked at Qingmo, and only left after she nodded, closing the door behind them.
Seeing that there was no one else around, the little fox knew that Qingmo's cultivation level must be higher than hers, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to see through her disguise at a glance.
So she slowly opened her mouth and said, "My name is Mei Jiu. I am just an ordinary demon beast. I was injured in the cultivation world before, so I stayed in the mortal world to recuperate."
Qingmo raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Is that so? Why aren't you properly healing your wounds and instead coming to this brothel? Little fox, you're really not honest."
Seeing that she had been exposed, Mei Jiu bit her lower lip. "Fellow Daoist, we have no enmity. I know I am no match for you, but since this involves my privacy, please do not force me."
Qingmo chuckled softly, "You're quite interesting."
Qingmo put down her wine glass, stood up, walked to Meijiu, reached out and lifted her chin, saying, "As far as I know, the Nine-Tailed Clan has been extinct since ancient times. So where did you come from?"
Upon hearing this, Mei Jiu immediately tried to use magic to escape, but Qing Mo not only firmly held her chin, making her unable to move, but also directly sealed her cultivation.
Knowing that her escape was futile, Mei Jiu stopped struggling. She simply smiled resignedly and said sadly, "Heh, so be it, so be it, this is fate."
Qingmo shook her head, somewhat speechless. She was really just bored and had no intention of doing anything.
Releasing Mei Jiu, Qing Mo sat down opposite her again, calmly pouring herself a glass. "Little fox, you don't need to be so nervous. I'm just traveling around. You have a story to tell. I have wine, so please speak freely."
Seeing Qingmo's attitude, Mei Jiu felt a little more at ease. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke again: "Since Senior has no intention of making things difficult, then I will certainly tell you the truth."
Mei Jiu sorted out her thoughts and slowly said, "I am indeed a descendant of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox. Senior should know that the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox lineage is born with nine tails, and each tail is a life. However, this life is only useful to ourselves or mortals. For cultivators, it has no effect of bringing the dead back to life."
Qingmo nodded, signaling her to continue.
Mei Jiu took a deep breath and continued, "Although we cannot give a cultivator an extra life, each tail can greatly increase a cultivator's cultivation level. Since ancient times, our clan has suffered great calamities and was almost wiped out."
After that, my Nine-Tailed Clan went into seclusion and has been barely surviving ever since. But the world is in a difficult state, and everyone in the cultivation world regards my clan as a panacea. We were eventually discovered.
My mother risked her life to send me away from the clan, exchanging her eight tails for my life. I am now the last nine-tailed celestial fox in this world. I only wish to live a quiet and peaceful life in the mortal realm. I beg you, senior, to spare my life.
Qingmo stared at her for a long time, then asked with some surprise, "Oh? Then why do you only have six tails left? I can tell you are weak and lack vital energy, as if you just lost your tail not long ago."
"This this…"
Mei Jiu didn't know what to say. Seeing her stammering for a long time, Qing Mo released a little bit of her aura to scare her. This little fox was really slow. She didn't have such good patience all the time.
Seeing her turn hostile, Mei Jiu stopped hiding it. After all, she had said what needed to be said, and it wasn't a big deal. She was just a little embarrassed to say it.
"Please calm down, senior. I did not mean to hide it. It's just that I'm sentimental and afraid that saying it would offend your ears."
Guan Qingmo looked impatient, and Mei Jiu continued, "To be honest, I was also tired of the intrigue and backstabbing in the cultivation world. I just wanted to live a peaceful life in the mortal realm, and then I met a man."
"He is a young master from a noble family. He doesn't mind that I come from a brothel. We fell in love at first sight and pledged our love to each other. However, he was born with a shortened lifespan and will not live past thirty. Even if I used up all the elixirs brought from the cultivation world, it was useless. I also do not have any rare and precious materials that can increase lifespan."
For the sake of my beloved, I had no choice but to sever one of my own tails to extend his life. A fox tail has miraculous effects on mortals; it can not only save a life but also add fifty years to one's lifespan. All I want is to stay with him forever.
