In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 233 Saintess, you're going a bit too far! (3.2K views, please subscribe!)

Mr. Cai's farm is not an isolated case.

In the days that followed, Zhu Tianqing's engineering team visited one farm after another and renovated the factory buildings.

During the process, Zhu Tianqing witnessed scenes where the living environments of humans and spirit beasts were reversed.

Even though she knew in her heart that everything she had seen and heard was what Su Yuan wanted her to see, her sense of shame continued to grow day by day.

She couldn't help but seriously consider how to enable ordinary people to live a better life.

Spirit beast?

Spirit beasts are ultimately a different race. If we can't even take care of our own people's livelihood, how can we possibly care about spirit beasts?
Meanwhile, on her way home from get off work each night, Zhu Tianqing saw more and more stray spirit pets.

It has reached a point where it could cause a disaster.

Whenever Zhu Tianqing sees those homeless, ownerless spirit pets in groups, this thought comes to mind.

And this idea became clearer and clearer.

Time flies, and half a month has passed.

Zhu Tianqing had been staying at Aunt Zhang's house for a full half month, and had also been doing hard labor at the bottom of the social ladder for half a month.

She had long since adapted to the cramped pigeon coop and was used to eating meat and communal meals.

Late at night, after washing up thoroughly at the bathhouse, she returned to Aunt Zhang's house, skillfully made up a makeshift bed on the floor, and lay down on her side to rest.

But just a second before she closed her eyes, her incredibly old phone gave a slight jolt.

The girl opened her phone and saw that the sender's name was "AAA Su Yuan (Yuan Sect is actively accepting orders)".

"Su Yuan!"

Zhu Tianqing suddenly sat up straight, her gaze shifting downwards to read the message.

It consists of only three simple words.

"See you on the rooftop."

The girl quickly dressed and swiftly climbed onto the rooftop of the pigeon house.

On the cluttered rooftop, piled high with solar water heaters, Zhu Tianqing saw Su Yuan leaning against the railing, admiring the view.

Upon seeing the enemy who had caused her to become like this again, for some reason, Zhu Tianqing couldn't muster any anger at all.

The ordeal of more than half a month gave her a real understanding of the hardships faced by people at the bottom of society, and she realized that Su Yuan and her father were truly doing it for her own good.

She took a deep breath, stepped forward, and asked coldly:
"Are you here to see my joke?"

Su Yuan turned his head and said calmly:
"No, I'm here to take you back. It's time for the true saintess to return to her rightful place."

"Hmph, it seems my father put pressure on you. Although he entrusted me to you, he can't just abandon me completely."

Zhu Tianqing was slightly smug.

I can already imagine the scene of Su Yuan being scolded like a grandson by his father.

After a moment of silence, Su Yuan said:

"Holy Maiden, you're overthinking it. Senior Zhu hasn't contacted me for over half a month."

"The reason I came to pick you up is because the college entrance exam is coming up soon."

"I don't want my exam to be ruined because of you."

Zhu Tianqing: "..."

What do you do when you're so embarrassed that you can't even speak because your toes are digging into the ground?
Fortunately, Su Yuan took the initiative to come to the rescue:

"More than half a month is enough, Holy Maiden. After experiencing life at the bottom for so long, I think your views should have changed a lot."

Zhu Tianqing replied without hesitation:
"It's natural."

Su Yuan: "I guessed so. After all, the amount of meat you've been eating lately is 50% more than the average worker's."

Zhu Tianqing: "..."

She took several deep breaths before suppressing the urge to beat up Su Yuan.

Don't insult someone by pointing out their weaknesses!

She felt that all the anger she had felt from birth to arrival in Taihua City was less than the anger she felt after meeting Su Yuan.

Has that pure and flawless image of a saint truly vanished, both in body and soul, and is it truly gone forever? (Sad)
"In short, my previous ideas did have some problems, and I will definitely correct them after I regain my identity."

"That's exactly what I've been waiting to hear."

Su Yuan smiled and pointed a finger at Zhu Tianqing's forehead.

The next second, the girl's face, her yellowish-brown skin, and the flesh that covered her holy wings all peeled off.

The abyssal spiritual power that had been blocking the girl's dantian also dissipated rapidly.

A holy angel with black hair, black eyes, and wings on her back appeared before the world once again.

But at that moment, Su Yuan's nose twitched and his brows furrowed.

"Hmm, what's that smell? It smells like sweat that's been sitting for over half a month?"

Zhu Tianqing also subconsciously twitched her small, delicate nose, then suddenly realized something, and her pretty face immediately turned red!

She quickly curled up into a ball, glaring at Su Yuan with the eyes one would give an insect, filled with shame and indignation.
"Don't smell it!"

The body odor clearly originated from Zhu Tianqing.

Although the flesh and blood disguise that Su Yuan applied to Zhu Tianqing was no different from real skin, it was essentially just a suit.

Now that the protective suit has fallen off, and because her cultivation was sealed, her body has returned to normal metabolism. The body odor that had been suppressed for nearly twenty days suddenly burst forth, and you can imagine how intense it was…

The taste is great, no need to say more!

This small detail was clearly something Su Yuan hadn't considered at the beginning.

After all, Zhu Tianqing initially gave off such a pure and innocent feeling that Su Yuan assumed she wouldn't have any body odor.

Unfortunately, cultivators are still human. Zhu Tianqing used her Foundation Establishment cultivation to clean her body and clothes as quickly as possible, and only breathed a sigh of relief after repeatedly confirming that there was no smell.

She glared fiercely at Su Yuan, who had watched the whole thing, and felt utterly disgusted.

Su Yuan saw her most shameful parts; she'll probably never forget that experience.

Su Yuan coughed lightly, knowing better than to bring up the matter of body odor again, and led Zhu Tianqing back to her large apartment.

Before leaving, Zhu Tianqing went back to Aunt Zhang's house and left all the money she had saved during this period with Aunt Zhang.

On the way, I naturally inquired about Aunt Zhang.

Su Yuan gave an explanation truthfully.

Aunt Zhang was not an actress he arranged; she was just a kind-hearted, unsuspecting laid-off worker from a meat processing plant.

As compensation, once the meat processing plant resumes operations, Su Yuan will immediately communicate with the plant manager to arrange for Aunt Zhang to be given a high-paying job.

Zhu Tianqing couldn't find fault with this, and could only sigh that Su Yuan had at least done something decent.

Back in the penthouse, the two met another Zhu Tianqing inside.

Seeing that Su Yuan had brought back Zhu Tianqing in person, Yin Qiyue, who had been playing the role for more than half a month, breathed a sigh of relief and ripped off the blood and flesh mask from her face, revealing her true appearance.

She stepped forward and lifted the silencing of Zhu Tianqing, then stood obediently to the side.

Su Yuan opened a drawer, inside were personal belongings that had been taken from Zhu Tianqing.

He took out a jade pendant from it:
“Holy Maiden, your father instructed that you should contact him only after you have corrected your incorrect beliefs.”

"Now please communicate with him again. If your new idea is accepted by Senior Zhu, it can be promoted tomorrow."

Zhu Tianqing nodded slightly, took the jade pendant, and activated it.

The jade pendant responded almost instantly, and the figure of the Demon Refining True Monarch was projected onto the open ground in the blink of an eye.

It seems this old father has been really cooped up lately.

However, in front of outsiders, the Demon Refining True Monarch managed to maintain his composure and asked with a cold face:
"I won't ask how Su Yuan has treated you during this time. You just need to tell me, has your view on equality between humans and demons changed?"

Zhu Tianqing nodded without hesitation.

Upon seeing this, a hint of anticipation immediately appeared in the eyes of the Demon Refining True Monarch.

Su Yuan looks young, but he seems to be a famous teacher!

Then Zhu Tianqing slowly said:
"I think the spirit beasts are living a little too well."

Demon Refining True Monarch, Su Yuan, and Yin Qiyue: "???"

No! Who are you, lady?
Zhu Tianqing ignored the shocked looks from those around her and continued to explain her point of view.

"I think we should care more about the lives of ordinary people than about the living environment of spirit beasts."

"Many of them work from dawn till dusk just to support themselves and their families. Compared to the Tieshan pigs who eat and sleep all day, their lives are much harder."

What caused this?

"I think it's because productivity is not developed enough, or rather, developed productivity has not been distributed to ordinary people."

"I cannot ask those vested interests to give up their interests and delegate their technology."

"But I may do what I can to increase productivity in serving the working class."

At this point, Zhu Tianqing looked directly at her father and said earnestly:

"Take Tieshan pigs for example. It's too extravagant for three pigs to live in a 15-square-meter cubicle. Six pigs would be more like it."

"Anyway, pigs don't need a lot of space to move around."

"And those idle spirit pets, I don't think they can live the life of a pampered old man."

"They should learn to work for themselves and support their owners."

"For example, let mount-type spirit pets drive for Didi or haul goods, let companion-type spirit pets take care of the elderly in nursing homes, and send cute-type spirit pets to work in places like cat cafes and spirit pet cafes."

"As for those combat-type spirit pets, it would be good to send them to the combat training hall as sparring partners."

"Even primate spirit beasts, such as gorillas and monkeys, can be made to pick cotton, and whipped if they disobey."

"In short, we can't let them be idle. Life is about movement, and I'm assigning them work for their own good."

After a pause, Zhu Tianqing seemed to remember something and added:

"I can't just talk the talk; I have to start with myself."

"Dad, hurry up and get those lazy, good-for-nothing spirit pets moving, make them work hard!"

"If they don't want to work, don't feed them. They'll behave after a few meals of hunger!"

Demon Refining True Monarch: "..."

The elderly father felt a chill run down his spine.

What kind of slave owner is this from the realm of spirit beasts?!
Is this still her own daughter? Could it be that Su Yuan possessed her using the Myriad Soul Banner?

But there was absolutely nothing wrong with the daughter's soul energy; on the contrary, it was extremely vigorous, as if she was preparing to make a big splash.

What exactly did Su Yuan do to her during this period?
Brainwashing? Imprisonment? Being abused like a female animal? Or...?

All sorts of evil and dark demonic methods surged into the mind of the Demon Refining True Monarch, making him shudder.

But he dared not voice such speculation, for it might provoke his daughter and Su Yuan, that devil.

While her father was lost in thought, Zhu Tianqing simply explained:
“Dad, my belief in equality between humans and transgender people has not changed. I still hold this belief.”

The Demon Refining True Monarch was taken aback:
"Then why did you..."

Zhu Tianqing said calmly:

"I'm just having spirit beasts do the same work as ordinary people. Isn't that a form of equality?"
