Chapter 146: The Hardships Of Life Are Like An Endless River
As Lu Xun exclaimed, "Rope, come!" the "Demon Binding Rope" on the table outside the room seemed to react, and in an instant, it flew into the bedroom and landed in Lu Xun's hand.
Immortal Miao Feng, who was nestled in his arms, was still savoring the blissful experience when she suddenly heard his call for the rope. She raised her head with a hint of confusion and surprise in her eyes. She saw that the little thief was now holding the "Demon Binding Rope" with a mischievous and shameless smile on his face.
"What are you trying to do?" Immortal Miao Feng furrowed her delicate eyebrows, her seductive eyes slightly widened as she teasingly asked, "Are you tired of the usual routine? Daring to use a rope to bind me? Do you want to summon the whip as well? After all, it's named the ‘demon-whipping whip.' Should I let you whip me a few times since you're usually so domineering?"
Lu Xun pursed his lips, and his previous dominance seemed to dissipate, leaving behind a shy and innocent expression. He chuckled, "Sister, if you have such thoughts, I'm truly gratified. Unfortunately, you are my favorite demoness. So, I won't use the demon-whipping whip on you. Any pain inflicted on you pains me even more."
"Is that so?" Immortal Miao Feng extended her hand and gently pinched his cheek, her expression both tender and irritated. "Stop messing around and throw that rope away. Then, say some sweet words to me. If you keep playing with that rope, I'll burn it."
Lu Xun had a sudden idea. Instead of throwing away the Demon Binding Rope, he leaned close to her ear and said softly, "Sister, don't worry. Maybe you don't know the secrets inside. Let me give you a lesson. However, I only know half of it myself, so some parts need to be explored together."
As he finished speaking, Lu Xun let go of the Demon Binding Rope and tightly embraced the enchanting big demoness in his arms. He felt the unparalleled softness of her body, and a fragrance that penetrated the soul wafted over him. It was rich and intoxicating.
At the same time, the big demoness, who had been so imposing in the past, had lost her dominance and was now overwhelmed. She was misty and filled with deep affection.
As he spoke of what he only partially understood, Immortal Miao Feng seemed more like a spoiled kitten, snuggling in his arms obediently. All her thoughts disappeared from her mind, leaving only a sense of deep attachment.
The thousand-year-old demoness, Immortal Miao Feng, her name alone was enough to scare away any expert except for Su Jingyi. However, at this moment, she seemed like a young wife, her cheeks burning, and she had lost all her dignity. All that remained was intoxicating tenderness.
After who knows how long, Lu Xun finally finished speaking. The big demoness in his arms blushed slightly and buried her head deeply in his chest. She had slightly rapid breaths, seemingly feeling a strange impulse.
"The things you said, Xuan Yin and I both know them," the big demoness muttered as she twisted her body. "We were born to tie people up. I remember, didn't she tie you up last time? She wrapped you up tightly."
"Oh, that's different," Lu Xun chuckled and said innocently, "Yours is called instinct, and mine is called… called art, with a high artistic component."
"How high?" Immortal Miao Feng asked playfully.
"Um, about three or four stories high," Lu Xun answered with a grin.
The big demoness lifted her head, staring straight at him, her eyes fixed on his mischievous, wicked smile. Unexplainable emotions surged within her. She couldn't believe that she had fallen for him, even though he was an outright scoundrel, so passionate, shameless, and absurd. Some things were just so magical, even unbelievable.
"What's wrong?"
"Do I have something on my face?" Lu Xun looked at the big demoness, who had been staring at him intently, and touched his cheek curiously.
Immortal Miao Feng shook her head and softly said, "I'm just wondering why I like you so much. Even though I know you already have Xuan Yin, I still rushed towards you without hesitation. Moreover, you… you're so passionate and shameless; logically, I shouldn't have fallen for you. But…"
"It's fate," Lu Xun gently touched her plump, rosy lips and said tenderly, "Just like how I used to slay demons and monsters, and now I'm sharing a bed with a demoness, discussing love and romance."
Immortal Miao Feng curled her moist lips and asked, "Are you feeling a bit proud?"
Ah, at this moment, Lu Xun was perplexed, facing the demoness' scrutiny, feeling a bit at a loss and bewildered.
"The people of this world fear me without exception. Even hearing my name can terrify them. But now, I share a bed with you, and you know everything about me. I even urged you to be greedy for me," Immortal Miao Feng lightly bit her lip and mumbled, "And Xuan Yin, so beautiful and talented, also has feelings for you. Did you feel proud?"
"Oh, I'm practically brimming with pride!" Lu Xun laughed cheekily. "If only the little fox were here. Then our family would be complete and harmonious."
Immortal Miao Feng was stunned, glaring at him angrily, "You really have wicked intentions from the beginning, setting your sight on the little fox. Tonight, I'll make myself clear. If you dare to lay a finger on her, I will…"
Before the big demoness could finish her threat, Lu Xun sealed her mouth with a kiss. At first, she was a bit angry, but gradually, the boundless anger turned into warm water, flowing through her entire body under his tenderness.
However, just then, Immortal Miao Feng suddenly pushed him away, leaving Lu Xun in a state of confusion.
"What's wrong?"
"Why did you suddenly push me?" Lu Xun looked at the seductive big demoness with a puzzled expression, asking curiously.
Immortal Miao Feng gazed at him with a hazy look in her eyes, slowly sitting up in bed. With one hand covering herself with the blanket and the other reaching out to the edge of the bed, she softly said, "Rope, come!"
The "Demon Binding Rope" that originally belonged to Lu Xun unexpectedly flew into the big demoness's hand, and she held it with a playful smile.
"No…"
"What are you going to do?" Lu Xun, seeing the malice in her eyes, suddenly felt a bit panicky and hurriedly said, "Sister, don't do this."
"Why not? Are you the only one allowed to misbehave?" Immortal Miao Feng smiled faintly and then playfully kicked him off the bed. Immediately, the demon-binding rope left her hand, and in an instant, it had bound him securely. The demoness effortlessly lifted him up from the ground, slowly floating him toward the bed.
Oh my goodness!
How is she even more skilled than me? Is this some kind of innate talent?
Lu Xun, bound hand and foot, lay on the bed, and Immortal Miao Feng pulled him into her embrace. With a rustling sound, the blanket covered them both.
…
The next morning, as Lu Xun woke up from his slumber, he felt some soreness in his body. When he raised his arm, he could still see the marks from the Demon Binding Rope. He couldn't help but wonder why he had been tied up. And the most puzzling part was how skillful she was at it.
Immortal Miao Feng was nowhere to be seen, and Lu Xun didn't dwell on it. He was still thinking about what happened the previous night…
"Although it's an easy life, it's still too hot to handle," Lu Xun looked at the ceiling with a face full of desolation. His mind was filled with confusion about the path of life and even doubted if he had picked the wrong script. As a transmigrator, he should have been leveling up, becoming powerful, and achieving great things. But instead, he had ended up in a demon's lair, and she had turned out to be the one overpowering him. Instead of using his strength as a transmigrator, he was now meek and helpless.
"Ah," he sighed. "My strengthened waist couldn't bear the load, and the ‘Iron Crotch' technique is useless." Lu Xun pouted and mumbled to himself, "The hardships of life are like an endless river. Although there's a desire to go to the sea, the journey is slow and arduous."
Oh well, it was already an uphill battle. What mattered was the results. As long as his abilities and strength improved in the future, he would make them beg for mercy; they would shout, "Husband, we were wrong~"
Lu Xun threw off the blanket, picked up his clothes from the floor, and quickly got dressed. Just as he was about to leave the bedroom, he noticed a letter on the table. It was from the big demoness, informing him that she had gone out to handle some matters.
After folding up the letter, Lu Xun slowly left the room. It was his last day in the capital, and he wanted to buy some things for the little demoness and the little fox back at home.
Walking alone on the streets, he saw vendors on both sides energetically hawking their goods. Unlike the little fox, he didn't stop to look at anything. He simply wandered aimlessly, like a headless fly.
Unknowingly, he found himself back at the Kongming Temple. Lu Xun stood quietly in front of the temple, watching the bustling crowd of worshippers. He couldn't help but marvel at how popular the temple was.
Why not go and see those two old baldies?
After thinking for a while, he followed the crowd inside. First, he bought a few incense sticks just for show, and then he headed straight for the place where the divination sticks were cast – the place where his adventure had begun.
Sure enough, Lu Xun saw the old monk responsible for interpreting the divination sticks, who was sitting there with a troubled expression. His face was full of worries.
"My Heavenly Parasol is gone."
The monk who had lost his Heavenly Parasol was now sitting there alone, grieving. Although he occasionally helped some visitors interpret their doubts, most of the time, he sat there in heartache and regret.
"Master?"
"Please help me check this divination stick," a familiar voice suddenly sounded in the old monk's ears. Startled, he looked up at the person sitting across from him, and in an instant, his heart trembled with shock and disbelief.
His eyes were filled with astonishment and a hint of being taken aback, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
He actually came back?!
