Chapter 113: I'll Be Waiting For You In The Tub
In a luxurious restaurant, in a secluded corner.
The little fox, Xuan Shi, held a string of candied haws in her hand, her eyes locked onto Lu Xun in a penetrating gaze. Her crimson little tongue licked the sugar coating, and she leisurely inquired, "Big villain, do you have something on your mind?"
"Huh?"
Lu Xun snapped out of his reverie, looking at the curious little fox in front of him. He smiled and said, "I'm waiting for you to grow up quickly so that I can claim you."
The little fox almost exploded in anger. Her cheeks puffed up, and she said irritably, "Do you think I don't want to grow up? I dream about it all the time. But I can only be like this. Besides, what's so great about growing up? Before you came, Master often didn't wear a chestband, just a nightgown covering her whole body. I… I felt tired just looking at her waist."
Oh… so my big demoness is actually this unrestrained?
Lu Xun pursed his lips and chuckled, "Alright, alright, no more playing around. I want to talk to you about something serious. Let's spend another day playing tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, we'll head back home."
"Ah!"
"So soon?"
Hearing that they were going back home, the little fox's face was filled with disappointment. Her cherry-like mouth pouted high, and she said grumpily, "I haven't even had enough fun yet, and we're already going back home. Once we're home, I'll be forced to practice again, starting early in the morning with sword training. I've been practicing so much that I've developed calluses on my hands. Look, I used to be so tender, but now… I've become like this."
In the midst of speaking, the little fox spread out her small hands and extended them toward Lu Xun.
"…"
"Alright. Stop pretending to be pitiful. I'll speak up for you. I'll reduce the amount of practice for you, but completely canceling it is unlikely." When facing the little fox, Lu Xun couldn't help but go along with her, at times wondering if he was being overly devoted. Then, he realized that he simply wanted to protect her precious innocence.
In truth, when it came to who he liked the most, the three demonesses were all similar. It's just that there was more lust and intimacy with Xuan Yin and Immortal Miao Feng, while towards Xuan Shi there was care and desire to cherish. There was a clear difference in their essence, which led to entirely different attitudes when facing the three.
"Hehehe."
"I knew you would definitely protect me." The little fox smiled contentedly, biting down on a candied haw. She squeaked and said, "As a reward, I'll give birth to a bunch of children for you in the future. Let me tell you, I can have several in one litter, probably around ten or so."
Lu Xun chuckled in a not-so-happy manner and didn't bother to entertain the little fox's constant desire to have children. He turned his head to look down the street.
Just then, the sound of galloping horses reached his ears, followed by a group of palace guards dressed in official attire, each with a sword at their waist. They rode fast on horses, and the street vendors and pedestrians on the street scattered, causing a commotion.
What's going on?
Why would palace guards be here?
In Lu Xun's two and a half years of demon-slaying, he had encountered a few palace guards dressed similarly to the group that just passed by. He couldn't help but feel suspicious. Could there be something significant happening here? Or is a certain important royal relative currently in Yangzhou City?
"A bunch of ants causing a ruckus again."
The little fox munched on her candied haws, her face filled with disdain. "All they do all day is bully the weak."
Lu Xun was taken aback and looked towards her, curious, "Have you ever fought against these people before?"
"Um, about a hundred years ago, when I secretly sneaked down the mountain for the first time, I was caught by this group of people." The little fox pouted, sounding disgruntled. "I had the misfortune of encountering their leader. Their strength was much higher than mine. I had no choice but to crush the jade pendant my master gave me. Then, my master flew over and killed them all, and then…"
"Then your master scolded you." Lu Xun said with an amused smile, "Is that how it went?"
The little fox answered helplessly, "I had no choice. If I didn't call my master over, I would have died there. Ever since then, my miserable days began. I'm forced to practice every day, it's so annoying."
"Deserved it!"
"Who told you to sneak down the mountain? If I were in your place, I would've beaten you until you were bruised." Lu Xun said.
Hearing his words, the little fox instantly thought of certain memorable scenes from a certain drawing in a certain book. Her cheeks reddened, and her gaze towards him became dreamy. Angrily, she said, "Big villain, if you dare to do that, just beat up Xuan Yin, not me. If you try, I'll bite you to death!"
???
Lu Xun's mind was filled with question marks, as if there was some kind of deviation in his conversation with the little fox.
Just then, the ordered dishes started to arrive.
The little fox immediately started devouring the food, forgetting all about everything else in front of such deliciousness.
As night fell, the little fox lay on Lu Xun's back, her arms wrapped around his neck. She stared unwaveringly at the distant fireworks, lanterns, and various colorful lights.
"It's over."
"Shall we go back?" After the fireworks and lanterns ended, Lu Xun carried the little fox on his back and softly asked.
"Um."
Reluctantly, the little fox responded, not wanting the experience to end. Then she tightly hugged his neck, nuzzling her head against his cheek with an adorable and gentle expression. She smiled playfully and said, "Big villain, can you hold me? Like… a princess carry."
"With so many people around, maybe not." Lu Xun gently replied, "How about I hold you once there's no one around?"
"Um…"
"Then forget it." The little fox pouted, saying in a coquettish tone, "Anyway, we have plenty of time ahead of us. We don't need to do it this time."
On the way back, the little fox chattered incessantly about various topics. Lu Xun hadn't noticed before, but she seemed quite talkative. Since that day, it felt like she had an endless stream of words.
"Big villain?"
"Do you think there are gods in this world?" The little fox asked.
"Probably not." Lu Xun replied.
The little fox tilted her head, and with a playful tone, she asked, "Why not? It's rumored that as long as you cultivate to the extreme, you can ascend and become a god."
"Because…"
"Because there's no oxygen in the sky." Lu Xun explained.
"Oxygen?"
"What's oxygen?" The little fox was caught in a blind spot of knowledge.
"It's a kind of air that sustains breathing."
Lu Xun held the little fox and began explaining the philosophy of humans and the universe to her. However, the little fox found it all rather baffling, and she couldn't grasp what he was saying when the words were combined into sentences. Nevertheless, she enjoyed listening to him talk and chatter endlessly.
When they were about to reach the inn, the little fox couldn't resist the impulse in her heart anymore. Her cherry-like lips suddenly pressed against Lu Xun's cheek.
Faced with this unexpected attack, Lu Xun was momentarily stunned, but he quickly regained his senses and smiled, "You, a little fox who has lived for over two hundred years, actually have such poor sportsmanship."
Xuan Shi blushed, burying her head in the back of his neck. She stammered, "I… couldn't help it."
After the kiss, the little fox coquettishly said, "Big villain, can you carry me on your back for a while longer?"
"Sure." Lu Xun readily agreed and carried the little fox past the inn.
"Lu Xun." The little fox changed her address, softly asking, "Would you not want me?"
"Huh?"
"Why are you suddenly asking such a question?" Lu Xun was slightly surprised.
"I'm worried…"
"You wouldn't want me anymore." The little fox bit her lip, speaking in a sweet and soft tone, "I'm willful and mischievous, and I don't have a great figure to speak of. Moreover, I'm so short. If you compare me to my master and sister, or even any woman on the street, their figures are much better, and they're taller."
"That's true." Lu Xun smiled and said with emphasis, "But what does that matter? They aren't my little fox; you are."
"Really?" Xuan Shi smiled foolishly, "Hehehe, I'm your only little fox."
With that said, she leaned in for another peck, this time on the other side of his face.
The road finally came to an end. Lu Xun saw that they had walked far enough, so he turned around to head back. The little fox was getting a bit drowsy after a day of excitement and let out a few yawns before falling asleep. After all, she had been quite energetic throughout the day.
After returning her to her room, Lu Xun placed the little fox on the bed. Then he turned around to face the big demoness behind him, revealing a naughty smile involuntarily.
"Sister."
"It's our time alone again." Lu Xun smiled and said.
Seeing his sly grin, Immortal Miao Feng blushed and couldn't help but scold, "Stop fooling around here. Instead of wasting time talking to me, you better hurry and heat up the water."
She's getting impatient!
"Okay, okay."
"Sister, wait for me in my room."
Lu Xun rushed out in a hurry, leaving behind a blushing demoness standing there. Her heart was filled with excitement, anticipation and embarrassment.
"Splash, splash—"
Lu Xun poured the last bucket of hot water into the wooden tub and turned to look at the demoness next to him with a full smile. He said playfully, "Sister, the water's ready."
"I know." Immortal Miao Feng shot him an amorous look, pursing her cherry lips, "You… go in first."
"Alright!"
"I'll be waiting for you in the tub."
Like a flash of lightning, Lu Xun quickly undressed until he was left with just his underwear. With an excited jump, he landed in the bathtub.
This…
Why was he so fast?
Immortal Miao Feng hadn't even realized what was happening when she saw the little thief jump into the wooden tub, leaving his clothes behind on the ground.
"Sister!"
"Don't just stand there." Lu Xun soaked in the warm and clear water, keeping his eyes fixed on the demoness, urging her anxiously, "Hurry up, the water will cool down soon."
Seeing the little thief getting impatient, the big demoness sighed helplessly. She pinched the green ribbon at her waist with her delicate jade-like fingers and gently pulled it.
She held her dress tightly with one hand and the green ribbon with the other, then turned her head to glance at the man in the bathtub.
"You naughty thief, don't look!"
Saying this, she tossed the silk ribbon in her hand directly at him, hitting him square in the face.
Well!
That was a mature and alluring scent.
