Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength-Chapter 235 - 212: To Lift Someone Up, You Must First Put Them Down; To Take, You Must First Give
A month later, Meng Yu left Peach Blossom Star and, after a month’s journey on the Interstellar Train, arrived at Qingfeng Star, purchased by Bai Qianqian.
Everyone was curious what Bai Qianqian meant by naming it Qingfeng Star, but only Meng Yu knew, because his first encounter with Bai Qianqian was at Qingfeng Fortress.
Qingfeng Star was undergoing major development, bustling with crowds everywhere. Meng Yu had recently seen Bai Qianqian nearby, just one step away from meeting her, but in the end, he chose not to meet her.
There must have been countless gazes watching her. In order to find him, he and she had to separate, so that both could be truly safe.
Later, through a disposable mailbox, Meng Yu arrived at the agreed place and picked up six Storage Bags.
They were packed full of Spirit Rice, Spiritual Medicine, Array Plates, and other items greatly needed in the Western Wastes, along with a letter.
"Ah Yu, I love you, I’m very happy, please don’t worry about me, thank you. If needed, I leave everything regarding the Moon-Watching Sect to you."
Meng Yu had already argued with her on the phone and through emails.
The girl insisted, she stepped forward.
Bai Qianqian didn’t know about Meng Yu’s tenfold, hundredfold extra income; she only saw how Meng Yu bent over repeatedly for her. She felt she was Meng Yu’s weakness, as he bore humiliation and hardships for her again and again.
Therefore, she let go, allowing Meng Yu to develop on his own while she stayed behind at Immortal Sect as his strongest support.
As a member of the jade rabbits, and with the sacrifices they had made over the past million years, the Immortal Sect, for the sake of face and with many elders speaking out, ensured that she would have no safety issues and would not be subjected to severe interrogation.
Once she stepped forward and formed a company, Meng Yu no longer had to risk his life time and again to procure goods. The supplies received from the Moon-Watching Sect could be easily processed, selling at good prices through official channels or using Spirit Stones to gain more allies.
By then, Bai Qianqian had legitimately stepped forward, not only with a legal identity but also having negotiated taxes and other terms with Immortal Sect!
Making a great deal of money depends on legitimacy and official approval.
Bai Qianqian solved a truly great problem for Meng Yu, something he could never have achieved in his lifetime; he was supposed to fight with Immortal Sect forever!
In the Storage Bags, apart from the Spirit Rice and Spiritual Medicine, there were also several Third Grade Magical Treasures, like the Four Seas Glazed Vase.
These had been resources that Meng Yu and Bai Qianqian had failed to obtain during their numerous robberies at Immortal Sect, but now, Bai Qianqian had purchased them and placed them inside. Stay connected via novelbuddy
In the past, when Meng Yu procured items, he had to do it in small, discrete batches, involving many risks and concerns about being caught. But now, with Bai Qianqian stepping forward and with the assistance of Ge Caihua and the cheering of Immortal Sect’s Five Flowers, a legitimate alliance emerged, officially approved. As a result, the related departments of Immortal Sect could no longer blatantly monitor Meng Yu, and many secret operations would be canceled.
If these secret operations were to be caught by Bai Qianqian, she would blatantly ask why these public servants were treating Immortal Sect’s laws like toilet paper. Why were they monitoring me? Then she would file complaints or even lawsuits, making these people lose their status as public servants or even be sentenced.
What about those with unofficial or unclear identities? Well, guess what, would the Immortal Sect’s Five Flowers, the Six Beasts, and the many Golden Cores who wanted to get on Bai Qianqian’s good side kill, and would they dare to?
Going forward, as long as Meng Yu could provide a steady stream of Spirit Stones, here in Qingfeng Small World, it would be Meng Yu’s safe haven. With a long-term or sufficient supply, not only would Bai Qianqian become wealthy, so would others, or they could obtain the coveted Spirit Stones.
This is still under the presumption that they don’t know Meng Yu could slow down time a hundredfold on that side.
Bai Qianqian sacrificed herself, stepping forward, and set Meng Yu free, turning Immortal Sect’s challenging conquest from extremely difficult to easy.
But in doing so, she also lost the chance to be by Meng Yu’s side. Maybe the next time she saw Meng Yu, he would have already lived for decades in the Western Wastes.
Last year, on this day, within these gates, faces bloomed with peach blossoms.
But at this year’s meeting, it would already be a century later. Would Meng Yu still be Meng Yu, or would he be Cao Meng De?
...
Meng Yu quietly returned to his cave, but he didn’t rush to come out, because he should wait for seven days, right?
Seven days later, Meng Yu came out and told everyone that Bai Qianqian was well, all was fine, not to worry, and the pregnant woman was resting.
Bai Qianqian was not pregnant, not pregnant, not pregnant!
The important thing to say three times, Bai Qianqian claimed to be pregnant because it was a ploy, a convenient method for Meng Yu to take over the Moon-Watching Sect.
In history, many people started at the peak, like Liu He. When he entered the capital, Huo Guang was already claiming illness and staying home. At that time, he only needed to gradually get hold of some power, place his own people in some positions, and then enjoy being the emperor. But he made decisive killings, directly... leading to his downfall.
Meng Yu was very cautious.
So, without Bai Qianqian, would it be easy for Meng Yu to take over the Moon-Watching Sect?
Easy, there shouldn’t be any major problems, but how to take over is the question.
"How’s Qian Qian doing, all good?"
Hua Miaochai was a bit surprised; she had thought Meng Yu would be gone for at least a month or two, but he returned after only seven days.
"She’s doing well over there, very well indeed, and she even asked me to buy some gifts for everyone. Oh, during this period, could you please take charge of the Long River Nine Bends Array? These two treasures will also be in your care."
Meng Yu handed over the items, and everyone’s faces beamed with joy.
...
The cave dwelling of Hua Miaochai was located behind the Moon-Watching Sect’s back mountain, where, apart from her, there were now additional Flower Spirits, Tree Spirits, and even several very special little demons.
A flower, if it lives past four hundred years, will certainly have some regrets, some friends; and then, when everyone hears she has prospered, they of course come to seek refuge.
"Thank you, Auntie."
With a Storage Bag in hand, Hua Miaochai returned to her cave dwelling, where a group of demons were already waiting respectfully.
Although Hua Miaochai had always told everyone not to act like this, everyone below would still express, "We are willing, please let us serve you."
Indeed… bags of Spirit Rice were distributed, and Array Plates were set up; Hua Miaochai’s cave had become so luxurious that she hardly recognized it. So, what must the little imps who lived here and enjoyed the benefits feel like?
They would fight to the death to protect it all.
Letting those miscellaneous thoughts fade away, Hua Miaochai began to study the Spirit Stone of Knowledge left by Bai Qianqian. The information about the Long River Nine Bends Array was inside; she needed to delve deeply into it.
"It seems that Qian Qian really won’t be able to return for a while."
As Hua Miaochai read on, she sighed inwardly. This information was the jade rabbit’s real treasure, meant to be passed only to one’s offspring, but now it had been entrusted to her, which could only mean Bai Qianqian was truly unable to leave.
Fortunately, she was also a mage. Although she couldn’t match Bai Qianqian’s decisive killings while presiding over the Long River Nine Bends Array, she was superior in her Illusion Techniques, possessing at least seventy percent of Bai Qianqian’s combat strength, which was enough.

After three days of study, Hua Miaochai emerged from her contemplation and began to wander in the garden. However, why was that demon over there wiping away tears?
Hua Miaochai recognized the Little Flower Demon; only a little over sixty years old. Who had bullied this child, or was there some other matter?
"Yes, it is because there are rumors that White Gate Master doesn’t want us anymore, that she won’t come back from over there, and also that Sect Master Meng, he’s leaving too."
The Little Flower Demon suddenly cried out loudly. Before coming to the Moon-Watching Sect, she had been constantly frightened, with only three out of over ten siblings surviving. But after coming here, it was like heaven. Just as the good days here seemed to multiply, such rumors emerged.
"Who said that?"
Hua Miaochai grew angry, a cold light flashing in her eyes.
"Everyone is talking about it. They say that Sect Master Meng, in giving us all sorts of wonderful things recently, is actually providing a final compensation. Going forward, Sect Master Meng will leave to be with White Gate Master and won’t return. Elder Hua, this is a lie, right?"
The Little Flower Demon looked at Hua Miaochai with tearful eyes, seeking confirmation.
"How could that be? Sect Master Meng isn’t that kind of heartless person, he..."
Hua Miaochai wanted to say more but suddenly couldn’t continue.
Indeed, it had always been Meng Yu who was generously subsidizing everyone; Hua Miaochai felt she should kill a few people for Meng Yu to calm her own nerves.
The Western Wastes supported no idlers, and this saying was no joke. Why would someone generously give good things with no reason? What for?
"How many people know this rumor, and who started it?"
"Everyone knows now, I don’t know who started it, it seems to have started after the news that White Gate Master was pregnant spread."
The Little Flower Demon counted on her fingers for a while before giving an answer.
Hua Miaochai’s mouth twitched… of course, isn’t it obvious? With Bai Qianqian gone, why would Meng Yu stay in the impoverished Western Wastes? Could it be that there was still a woman here who could move his heart?
That’s right, Liu Qingshuang… But Meng Yu could easily take Liu Qingshuang back to their place, and the Western Wastes, impoverished in Spiritual Energy and lacking in various aspects, were simply not worth a noble’s extended residence.
"Don’t panic, I’ll go talk to Bu Shixian."
Hua Miaochai reassured the Little Flower Demon while feeling her own legs go weak. The more she thought about it, the more frightening it became. How could this be?
Then, she flew to Bu Shixian’s cave dwelling only to find Bu Xiaoniao had closed her doors to visitors with an air of "Do not disturb me."
Hua Miaochai was different from the others; while everyone else feared a Golden Core’s command, she did not. Biting her lip, she forcefully broke through Bu Shixian’s door, only to find a bird with bloodshot eyes, looking extremely irritable amid a sea of wine bottles, half dead and alive.
Seeing this scene, Hua Miaochai’s heart turned cold.
Could the news of Meng Yu leaving be true?
Disaster loomed.
