Chapter 103: Guilty And Excited Big Demoness

The little fox lay on the bed, her two small tails behind her drooping down completely. Even without looking at her expression, it was clear that she was feeling quite frustrated. In fact, she was so disheartened that she had almost lost all interest in playing.

"You… Why are you so aggrieved about sleeping with your Master?" Immortal Miao Feng entered the room, observing the little fox's downcast demeanor. She spoke irritably, "Why didn't I give you a separate room? It's not like I don't trust you to be alone, but I'm worried you might sneak out in the middle of the night."

The little fox rolled over and sat up on the bed, looking at her Master. She pouted and muttered, "Master, I'm already over two hundred years old. I'm not a child anymore. I remember that when Sister Xuan Yin was over two hundred years old, she could go down the mountain by herself. And I… Why do you lack confidence in me?"

"But would I be so demanding of you in your training if you applied a bit more effort? Would I be so unwilling to let go?" Immortal Miao Feng stared at her sternly and spoke in annoyance, "The world outside is not peaceful these days, especially recently with all the shifts in power. What if you encounter danger? What would your sister Xuan Yin and I do?"

"I… I…"

The little fox hung her head and replied with a whimper, "What kind of danger could there be? I'm perfectly fine."

"Hmph."

"You are unwilling to cry until you see the coffin. But if you really encounter danger, will there be enough time?" Immortal Miao Feng watched the pitiful expression on the little fox's face. The anger she had felt earlier melted away. She sat down next to her and gently pulled her into an embrace. She spoke softly, "Master doesn't want you to get hurt again. That's why I am doing this."

The little fox nestled in her embrace, sniffing a little. In a soft, mournful voice, she said, "Master… You don't need to worry so much. I understand, actually. It's just that sometimes, you're… well, too strict. I…"

"How can I not be strict?"

"If I'm not strict, how can I manage you and Xuan Yin? Neither of you is an easy one to deal with. If I'm not strict, you two would surely get into trouble." Immortal Miao Feng reached out and tousled the little fox's head, speaking in a low voice, "But now that Xuan Yin has her husband, I only need to keep an eye on you."

The little fox raised her head, looked at her Master who was close at hand, and pursed her asking carefully, "Master, does that mean as long as I have a husband, you won't bother me anymore?"

Immortal Miao Feng was momentarily stunned, then couldn't help but laugh. "That's one way to interpret it. If you are like Xuan Yin and have your own man, I won't need to interfere with you anymore."

"Oh."

The little fox pouted, her bright eyes turning around in a cunning manner. With a playful tone, she said, "Then I'll make Lu Xun my husband. That way, you won't have to worry about me, and I can be with Sister Xuan Yin also."

Hearing the little fox's words, Immortal Miao Feng widened her eyes, a look of astonishment mixed with disbelief on her face. There was even a hint of anxiety. She spoke in exasperation, "You… This is absolutely ridiculous! I won't allow such a thing to happen!"

"Oh…"

"Master… I was just joking." Seeing her master's explosive anger, the little fox hurriedly held onto her waist, behaving cutely, "How could I ever do something like that? I was just teasing you. Not to mention whether he's Sister Xuan Yin's husband, even if he weren't, I still wouldn't like him."

Immortal Miao Feng sighed deeply, her voice a mixture of tenderness and annoyance. "You really shouldn't make jokes like this in the future. Your Master is over a thousand years old and can't handle your antics."

"Mm-hmm, I understand," the little fox nodded obediently, but deep inside, she felt incredibly melancholic.

What could she do? It seemed like her master was strongly against it. Snuggled in Immortal Miao Feng's embrace, she pursed her lips, her eyes filled with helplessness. She hadn't figured out how to handle Sister Xuan Yin's side, and now her master also strongly opposed. Sigh, was there still a place for a little fox in this cruel world?

"Master?"

Pouting, the little fox whined and asked, "Why can some people marry many wives? Like… that so-called young emperor, they say he has seventy two concubines in his palace."

"That's how it is in the mortal world," Immortal Miao Feng said indifferently. "It's not just the young emperor who has such privileges; many men in the world can have multiple wives and concubines. But this is simply a rule of the human world."

"Oh," the little fox responded and continued, "Master, is Lu Xun considered human or a demon?"

"Of course, he's considered human," Immortal Miao Feng replied.

"In that case, since he's human, can't he have multiple wives and concubines?" the little fox asked with a playful tone.

"…"

"This…"

For a moment, Immortal Miao Feng was at a loss for words, unsure how to respond to the question.

The little fox lifted her head, her eyes blinking as she looked at her master. She asked with a cute tone, "Master, do you think Lu Xun will have many wives in the future?"

"I don't know."

"Ask your sister Xuan Yin." Immortal Miao Feng held the little fox in her arms and answered casually.

"Oh."

"Let's forget about it," the little fox furrowed her brows. "What if it leads to a fight?"

Just then, they heard a knock on the door.

"We're going to the night market," Lu Xun called from outside the door.

Upon hearing that they were going to the night market, the little fox quickly wriggled out of Immortal Miao Feng's embrace and ran out. Just as she reached the doorway of the bedroom, she turned back and looked at her master, who was sitting on the bed lost in thought. Anxiously, she urged, "Master, let's go."

"Okay."

The troubled big demoness slowly got up and followed the little fox out.

The night market by the riverside was exceptionally lively. Rows of taverns and eateries lined the streets, the fragrance of good wines and delicacies wafting through the air. Especially the street food vendors, their numbers were so numerous they were almost countless.

Seeing this scene, the little fox was almost overwhelmed with excitement. Although she had lived for over two hundred years, this was her first time in the Yangzhou city. The bustling scene before her far exceeded her expectations. She had never imagined that the night could be so lively, even more so than during the day.

"I want to eat this!"

"I want that!"

"I want this and that, I…"

Though holding hands with Immortal Miao Feng, the little fox's instructions to Lu Xun on what to buy to eat flowed incessantly. She wanted apricot slices one moment and then craved sweet drinks the next. In short, wherever they went, she wanted to eat. Throughout this time, the big demoness remained silent, quietly holding the little fox's hand as they strolled through the seemingly endless streets.

"Selling date cakes, come get your sour date cakes!"

Not far away, a vendor's call for sour date cakes caught the attention of the big demoness. She glanced at the stuff being sold and said, "Let's try some of those."

The cart full of sour date cakes caught her attention. Seizing the moment when the little fox wasn't paying attention, her eyes unconsciously moved to the scoundrel nearby. Lu Xun also heard the vendor's cry about the sour date cakes and turned his gaze in the same direction.

In an instant, their eyes met.

At that moment, the big demoness's eyes were filled with anticipation, a silent plea: buy them for me!

Lu Xun approached the date cake vendor, exchanged a few words, and then took out some silver coins from his pocket. Immortal Miao Feng watched him and beneath her veil, a barely perceptible smile appeared.

"What did you buy?"

The little fox looked at the two large paper bags Lu Xun brought back and, with a deft motion of her delicate nose, sniffed at them. She instantly broke into a joyful smile. "So it's sour date cakes! Hehehe, I love these the most."

Immortal Miao Feng furrowed her brow, feeling slightly displeased. These were specifically bought for her to eat.

"This one is for you, and this one is for your master," Lu Xun said with a smile. "Did you forget that your master also likes sour date cakes?"

"Uh…yes!"

Suddenly, the little fox realized and cast a sideways glance at her master. She quickly tried to cover up her slip by saying, "Of course, I remember! I meant… both my master and I like them."

"Hmph."

"I spoiled you for nothing."

Immortal Miao Feng scolded the ungrateful little fox.

Blushing, the little fox stuck out her tongue playfully and said in a gentle tone, "Master, I… of course I know what you like. I was just so excited that I forgot."

The big demoness ruffled her small head without saying much more.

During the following time, the little fox indulged in eating whatever she came across. She even saw some wild ducks being sold and wanted to eat a couple. Immortal Miao Feng also tasted some snacks, like chunks of delicious fruit and cool, sweet glutinous rice dumplings.

Finally, after strolling the entire street, the still unsatisfied little fox wanted to continue exploring. However, upon hearing Lu Xun mention taking a boat ride, she instantly skipped excitedly to join him.

After a brief conversation with the boatman, Lu Xun handed over some silver coins and then waved to the big demoness and the little fox.

"Let's take a boat!"

The little fox eagerly hopped onto the boat and began wandering around the cabin.

"Sister."

"I'll help you." Lu Xun stood at the stern, speaking to the big demoness on the shore.

"No need." The big demoness coldly declined, lifting her skirt elegantly as she boarded the boat.

The boat gradually drifted away from the shore. The restless little fox hugged a bag of sour date cakes and headed to the bow of the boat, eating the delicious and tangy cakes while watching the bustling scenes on both sides of the riverbank. She felt truly content.

Meanwhile, inside the cabin.

Lu Xun and Immortal Miao Feng sat on one side, a considerable distance apart. A gentle breeze blew, gently lifting the big demoness's flowing hair and brushing against her face, lifting the white veil that covered it.

Lu Xun peeked at the little fox outside and took a deep breath. He carefully moved closer to the big demoness.

In fact, the big demoness had noticed his movement, but she didn't speak up to stop him. For various reasons involving Xuan Shi, as well as her own considerations, she allowed this action by the little thief.

Suddenly, her delicate hand was gently gripped. The sensation of being held tightly in the palm of his hand carried a twinge of guilt, a feeling of stealing someone else's lover. This made the big demoness feel both ashamed and an unusual sense of excitement, her body and mind tingling.

Shameless little rascal!

Xuan Shi was right there, and yet he dared… he dared to casually hold my hand.

Turning her body slightly, the big demoness couldn't bring herself to meet his gaze. Just then, a piece of sour date cake was offered to her lips.

You… little thief!

Gently licking her lips, the big demoness hesitated for a moment, lifted her veil, and took a small bite.
