Chapter 52: I Like Him
Committing a sin!
Truly a crime!
Why… How could Xuan Shi… How could she be lying on that little thief?!
This unexpected scene left Immortal Miao Feng feeling somewhat bewildered. Her mind was buzzing, and amidst her confusion, she felt a mixture of anger, perplexity, and a touch of jealousy. Clenching her teeth, her brows furrowed in a combination of astonishment and fury, accompanied by a disarray of emotions.
"Xuan Shi!"
"Are you not getting off this man?" Immortal Miao Feng glared at her with widened eyes and scolded coldly.
Hearing her master's words, Xuan Shi's thoughts finally returned to her mind. With a surprised exclamation escaping her lips, she hurriedly got up from Lu Xun's body, her face flushed with embarrassment and anger, and she ran to stand behind her Master. The blush that had spread from her cheeks to her neck was now even redder.
"Master…"
"He bullied me… I… can't beat him." Xuan Shi pouted her small mouth, pitifully complaining, saying, "Quickly kill him… avenge me."
Immortal Miao Feng rolled her eyes, lightly pursed her lips, and leisurely replied, "We can't kill him… if he dies, Xuan Yin will be sad. He's Xuan Yin's husband."
"What!"
"He… he…"
Upon hearing her Master's words, Xuan Shi's eyes were filled with shock and an expression of disbelief. She was even a bit caught off guard, her gaze staring straight at Lu Xun. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but the words hovered on her lips and she couldn't seem to utter them.
He is sister Xuan Yin's husband?
How is that possible!
Immortal Miao Feng turned to look at the little fox hiding behind her, seeing her terrified expression. Helplessly, she said, "This matter is a bit complicated… it's hard to explain in a few words. In any case, Xuan Yin has developed feelings for him. In the future, you must not act rashly."
"This…"
"Sister Xuan Yin has feelings for him…?" The little fox's mind was almost in a whirl. That icy Xuan Yin, unexpectedly having feelings for a man. Although… admittedly, this man was indeed handsome, and he had a robust figure. But there were many handsome and well-built men in the world, so why did she develop feelings for him?
"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"
The fox demoness pouted her small mouth and said indignantly, "Master, you must be tricking me! I… I'm going to find Sister Xuan Yin and confirm this!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xuan Shi left her master behind, twisted her little buttocks, and ran up the mountain in a panic, leaving only Lu Xun and Immortal Miao Feng by the side of the warm pool.
"…"
"Sister…"
"She came at me herself… It has nothing to do with me." Lu Xun looked at Immortal Miao Feng not far away, her gaze as if she wanted to devour someone, sending shivers down his spine… He then said, "Sister, rest assured, you and Xuan Yin… you two are the most important in my heart."
Facing his straightforward and audacious words of affection, the big demoness momentarily forgot her anger. A strange blush appeared on her mature and charming face, a strong sense of shame mixed with a feeling of being caught off guard, almost enveloping her entire body.
"Hmph!"
"I don't care about my position in your heart. As long as you have Xuan Yin there, it's enough. Don't you dare include me in it." Immortal Miao Feng glared at the home intruder in front of her, but in the next moment… she noticed something from Lu Xun's body. Her originally angry expression gradually shifted to a look of astonishment.
"You…"
"You actually reached the Late Heaven Realm?" Immortal Miao Feng asked in astonishment.
"Huh?"
"Yeah… I broke through."
Lu Xun swung two fists in the air and said softly, "I just broke through this morning. I don't feel much change in terms of strength, but my body's perception has improved quite a bit. When Xuan Shi just tried to strike me with a sword, she didn't manage to hit me. If it were yesterday… I probably would've been injured."
Immortal Miao Feng knew he had higher innate talent than Xuan Yin, thanks to his pure yang body, but she never expected… him to progress to this extent. In the blink of an eye, he had gone from the Mid-Heaven Realm to the Late Heaven Realm. If he could maintain this pace of cultivation, in less than ten years… he could step into the Saint Realm, and within a hundred years, he might even reach the Saint Emperor Realm.
"Sister…"
Someone's call brought the big demoness back to reality.
"What's the matter?" she casually asked.
"I've noticed that since I've been living with you and Xuan Yin, my cultivation speed has increased a lot compared to the past." Lu Xun pursed his lips and said with emotion, "In the past, I was drifting without a home and all alone… but now I have a place to stay, with you and Xuan Yin by my side. Um… what I mean is, in this chaotic world, having you both around makes me feel more at ease."
Ah—
He… he… what is he doing!
This sudden influx of sweet words, accompanied by a sense of shame for no apparent reason, invaded the big demoness. A blush spread across her cheeks, much like a ripe persimmon… a gentle squeeze would cause it to burst with juice. Her rapid breathing caused her chest to rise and fall continuously.
Shameless! Audacious!
Even though he's already Xuan Yin's husband… he's still deliberately saying these things to me!
Immortal Miao Feng struggled to control her tumultuous emotions, glaring fiercely at him, and angrily said, "In the future, tell these things to Xuan Yin, don't tell me… if you dare to spout nonsense to me again, I… I will cut out your tongue!"
After saying this, she turned her head and started to walk back down the mountainside.
"Sister!"
"If I don't have a tongue, how will I kiss Xuan Yin?" the mischievous Lu Xun reminded.
The demoness, caught in her flustered state, heard the absurd words from the little trickster behind her. She almost missed a step on the stone steps, turned around, and glared at him with a mix of embarrassment and anger. His mischievous expression made Immortal Miao Feng grind her teeth in frustration.
…
…
"Bang Bang Bang—"
"Sister!"
"Bang Bang Bang—"
"I'm back! Are you inside?"
Xuan Shi stood in front of a certain room, urgently knocking on the door. After a brief moment, the door slowly opened from the inside.
Xuan Yin, the little demoness dressed in a simple sleeping gown, looked at the little fox before her. A hint of fondness appeared in her cold and charming expression, and she said in an annoyed tone, "So you know how to come back? How long have you been out?"
"Sister…"
"We'll talk about that later. I have something to confirm with you." The fox demoness pursed her lips, looking at Xuan Yin with a complex expression on her face. She cautiously asked, "Master said that you… you have feelings for a man?"
"…"
"I… I…"
Xuan Yin stood still, at a loss and accompanied by a sense of panic. She stammered in response, "This matter is… more complicated, not something that can be easily explained."
The little fox furrowed her brows and said earnestly, "Sister, did that man perhaps find some leverage against you? And now he's using it to blackmail you? Don't worry, sister, I'll go find some help right now, and then we'll get rid of that man and free you."
As she spoke, she was about to leave.
At that moment, Xuan Yin grabbed the little fox's arm, preventing her from leaving.
"Xuan Shi…"
"I… I like him…"
