Chapter 110: You Must Covet Me!
The little fox, Xuan Shi, held onto Lu Xun's hand as they strolled through the bustling streets. At the same time, her other hand gripped a string of candied hawthorns. It had been nearly two hours since they left the inn, yet the little fox still joyfully roamed around without a trace of exhaustion. Her lips had been moving since they started and hadn't stopped until now.
"Big bad villain, I want this!"
Pointing to a nine-link puzzle ring, the little fox turned to Lu Xun with a charmingly sulky expression.
"This requires intelligence. Are you sure you can handle it?" Lu Xun looked at the intricate nine-link ring, laughing without much patience. "Solving this puzzle requires a complex set of steps and repeated manipulation of these steps. Making a single mistake in the process won't work."
"Humph!"
"However silly I might be, I'm still smarter than Sister Xuan Yin, right?" The little fox rolled her eyes, pouted her red lips, and said grumpily, "I want to play with this."
Faced with the little fox's tantrum, Lu Xun could only take out some silver coins and buy the nine-link ring for her. When Xuan Shi got hold of this intellectual toy, she eagerly set about trying to solve it. However, her intellect was limited. After a while, she became completely stuck, unable to solve it no matter how she tried.
Xuan Shi sneakily glanced at the big bad villain beside her, only to see him smirking. Instantly, her cheeks flushed red, and she said with a whine, "What are you laughing at? It's not like you can solve it either. If you're so clever, why don't you solve it then?"
Saying this, she handed the nine-link ring over to him.
"What if I manage to solve it?" Lu Xun took the toy, his voice filled with a teasing tone.
"I'll bear your child!" The little fox puffed out her unremarkable chest with an air of pride, tinged with a hint of subtle embarrassment.
".."
"What if I can't solve it?" Lu Xun continued to ask.
"I'll give you a lot of babies!" The little fox gazed at the big bad villain next to her, her face brimming with earnestness.
"You…"
"So, whether you solve it or not, you'll still have to bear my children?" Lu Xun found it somewhat amusing and exasperating. He held her toy in one hand while gently grasping Xuan Shi's delicate hand with the other, saying softly, "Let me take you to eat steamed buns filled with broth and grilled carp noodles."
Hearing about more delicious food, the little fox's interest was instantly piqued. She snuggled up to him and asked in a soft voice, "What are steamed buns and grilled carp noodles?"
"These steamed buns are buns with soup inside, very tasty meat broth. As for the grilled carp noodles… I don't know how to describe it, you'll understand when you try them." Lu Xun explained.
"Okay!"
The little fox put away her playful nature, obediently following by his side. Since she had openly declared herself his little fox, Xuan Shi had naturally assumed the identity of his wife when interacting with him. She behaved like a young wife in every aspect, although occasionally, the young wife would display a touch of coyness and capriciousness, making Lu Xun find it hard to resist.
They arrived at a well-known and luxurious restaurant. The staff warmly welcomed them as guests, and upon learning that they were here for a meal, they were led to a quiet corner.
Lu Xun liked this spot; he wasn't fond of being ostentatious, and considering the dangers that might arise from drawing too much attention while being out, he preferred a more discreet approach.
"Steamed buns filled with broth, grilled carp noodles, braised pork."
Lu Xun ordered several dishes in succession, getting two servings of each. After he finished ordering, he turned to the little fox sitting across from him. She had a naive and curious expression, exuding an indescribable charm of innocence.
"If it's not enough, we'll order more after finishing these." Lu Xun said.
"Okay."
Sitting in her chair, the little fox swung her short legs back and forth. She propped up her cheeks with both hands, fixatedly staring at Lu Xun. She asked in a soft voice, "Big idiot, when are you planning to have me?"
As her words fell, Lu Xun choked on his drink and started coughing repeatedly.
"Cough cough cough,"
"Why are you suddenly asking such a question?" Lu Xun said awkwardly.
"Sister Xuan Yin has become your wife, and I've become your little fox. You should treat us fairly. Since you've been coveting Sister Xuan Yin, you should also take a moment to appreciate me." The little fox said with a jealous expression, "We're both yours, whether demons or not, why do you only desire her and not me?"
Ahem..
This sudden surge of jealousy was unexpected and hard to defend against!
Lu Xun felt both amused and helpless. He quietly replied, "Wait for two hundred years."
"Two…!"
"In two hundred years, even the yellow flowers will have cooled down." The little fox stared at him with dissatisfaction, pouting her lips in annoyance. "You clearly prefer Sister Xuan Yin. You're always treating me with indifference. I don't care! Regardless, you must covet me! I want to be treated like Sister."
Headache, headache.
This isn't just a little fox, it's clearly a little jar of vinegar.
Faced with the unreasonable Xuan Shi, Lu Xun didn't know how to respond for a moment. He could only keep making concessions, trying his best to gloss over the matter. However, it seemed like the little fox had taken the wrong medicine. She didn't give in to Lu Xun's attempts at all. At this moment, she was consumed by jealousy.
Fortunately, with the arrival of dish after dish, the gluttonous little fox was quickly captivated by the sight of the delicious food. She picked up her chopsticks and began to feast heartily. The temptation of the cuisine managed to erase her previous jealousy in an instant.
Meanwhile, after the little fox's episode, Lu Xun suddenly realized that his situation was quite precarious.
Putting aside the possessiveness of the little demoness and the covert jealousy of the little fox, just dealing with the dominance of the big demoness was enough to give him a headache. What was even more lethal was that all three of them were living under the same roof. If things went wrong, would he be chopped to death by them?
Thinking about this, Lu Xun couldn't help but shiver.
"What are you thinking?"
"Why do you have a terrified look on your face?" The little fox, enjoying her steamed buns filled with broth, noticed the fearful expression on the big bad villain's face. She asked with confusion.
"Nothing." Lu Xun forced a smile out of his sadness and gently asked, "Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious!" The little fox nodded excitedly and then lost herself in the flavors of the food.
Watching the carefree two-century-old young girl, Lu Xun couldn't help but feel deeply moved. If he happened to set off a bombshell one day, he hoped that the three demon women could show a bit of mutual understanding. But looking at them, they didn't seem to possess such noble awareness.
As the night fell, Lu Xun walked back to the inn with the little fox on his back.
Xuan Shi had already fallen asleep. From morning to night, they had been having fun non-stop, with not a moment of rest in between. Soon after, this highly excited state quickly depleted her energy, compounded by her already limited cultivation.
"Lu Xun, I want to give birth to many, many babies for you."
The little fox lay on his back, uttering inexplicable sleep talk, leaving Lu Xun both amused and worried. What if the big demoness heard her? That would be catastrophic.
After a simple reflection and calm analysis, unless something unexpected happened, the big demoness would most likely come over tonight.
But then again, truly worthy of a millennia-old demoness, she was even more deadly than the little demoness. With her foundation of Yin physique, even the little demoness couldn't keep going indefinitely without breaks. She could still find time in between. However, the big demoness…
Lu Xun's face was full of helplessness. He used to doubt the words of the big demoness words about a month's time, but now he was completely convinced, and he even felt that a month was quite conservative.
On the way back, his footsteps were heavy.
The merchants on both sides of the street were shouting vigorously about their wares. The crowd hurriedly passed by, in an endless stream.
In such a bustling environment, however, it couldn't uplift Lu Xun's inner turmoil.
Back at the inn, Lu Xun stood in front of a certain room's door and lightly knocked. He whispered softly, "It's me. Your little thief."
After a moment, the door slowly opened.
Immortal Miao Feng stared at him with flushed cheeks. She looked at Lu Xun before her and then glanced at the little fox sleeping soundly on his back. A faint sense of joy and excitement flashed in her eyes.
"Why did you come back so late?" The big demoness used a gentle tone to speak to her little thief.
"Ask her tomorrow morning."
Lu Xun stepped into the room, walked straight to the bed, and carefully laid Xuan Shi down. He turned to the big demoness behind him and asked, "Sister, are you coming to my room tonight?"
"…"
"Not coming."
Immortal Miao Feng rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Sleep by yourself then!"
As she spoke, she continually complained in her heart about the damned little thief. She would obviously come to his room tonight, why ask and embarrass her?
"Alright."
"Then I'm going back."
Under the startled gaze of the big demoness, Lu Xun left without looking back. The room was now left with the caught-off-guard Immortal Miao Feng and the sleeping Xuan Shi.
Regaining her senses, the big demoness stomped her foot in anger. Fury was about to overflow on her seductive face.
…
The night grew deeper.
A lonely heart began to stir. The big demoness couldn't sleep, even though the little fox beside her was somewhat restless. However, that wasn't the main reason. What truly kept her awake was… the robust and strong young man next door.
"Xuan Shi… Xuan Shi…"
The big demoness gently nudged the little fox by her side, hesitated for a moment, slowly pulled aside the blanket, and then, without changing out of her dress, hurriedly put on her embroidered shoes. She walked to the door with caution, carefully slid back the bolt, and then swiftly slipped out.
After locking the door, Immortal Miao Feng walked toward the neighboring room.
The distance from her room to the little thief's room was only a few steps, but she felt like she had experienced a hundred years. Two voices in her mind were in constant struggle.
Reason told her to be reserved, mature, and elegant.
Desire told her to be proactive, passionate, and unrestrained.
In the end, as someone who was newly experiencing love, she chose to follow her heart. Any sense of reservation, maturity, or elegance was utterly defenseless against the little thief.
She cautiously pushed his room door. As expected, it wasn't locked.
The big demoness felt her face turn hot.
The little thief… he was simply too wicked.
"Squeak–"
Silently, she had come again, just as she had slipped away silently.
