Chapter 148: Wife Under The Moonlight
Su Jingyi's inexplicable words left Immortal Miao Feng sitting there in a state of bewilderment. Her eyes were filled with disbelief and an expression of unexpectedness. After a while, she finally snapped out of her astonishment and looked coldly at the reclining woman on the divan.
"Finally, you've shown your true colors!" Immortal Miao Feng stared fixedly at Su Jingyi and said through gritted teeth, "I'm telling you, don't even think about it!"
Facing the sudden rage of the demoness, Su Jingyi just smiled faintly and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet. What I meant is that I want your man to do two things for me, not that I want your man."
"Can you please listen to the whole story in the future?" Su Jingyi mocked with disdain. "Besides, even if I were interested in a man, I would never use a man you've been with, especially since I don't like men."
"Hmph!" Immortal Miao Feng huffed, "What do you want him to do?"
"I haven't thought about it yet," Su Jingyi pursed her lips and casually replied, "I'll let him do it when I come up with something. Rest assured, it won't be anything morally objectionable or indecent."
"That's not necessarily true. Perhaps someday in the future, you might beg him to share moments of pleasure with you," Immortal Miao Feng sneered, "The human heart is the most unpredictable thing in the world."
Su Jingyi squinted her eyes, staring directly at her, and for once, she revealed a faint smile, softly saying, "So, you're really the jealous type with a narrow mind."
"…"
"Stirring up trouble," Immortal Miao Feng turned her head away, looking at a certain spot in the palace, and her charming face blushed slightly as she spoke, "You can let him do two things for you, but there need to be three conditions between us. Firstly, he must not fall in love with you. Secondly, he must not share a bed with you. Lastly, he must not leave me."
Am I stirring up trouble? You are the one giving such detailed instructions, setting ground rules. Besides, these rules are absurd! Love him? Sleep with him? Ridiculous! How could such things even be considered?
"Alright, as you wish," Su Jingyi replied casually, not bothering to argue.
In the following time, Su Jingyi taught Immortal Miao Feng the sword technique for controlling the sword. After just one demonstration, she comprehended it completely.
"Are you leaving today?"
Su Jingyi stood up and walked gracefully toward Immortal Miao Feng. Under her light footsteps, her slender figure seemed slightly weighty as she bent down and sat opposite the demoness. The silky fabric wrapped around her emphasized the alluring roundness.
"Yes." Immortal Miao Feng, contrary to her previous aggressive attitude, replied gently. She picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for her friend and adversary, saying softly, "As your confidante, I'd still like to advise you to find a man to enjoy some affectionate moments with when you have the time. Life with someone you love is much more interesting than being alone."
Interesting? That's your idea of interesting. Su Jingyi lifted her teacup, took a small sip, and replied calmly, "Being alone is fine. No attachments, no worries."
"Being alone is indeed fine, but sometimes it can be quite vexing," Immortal Miao Feng said as she sipped her tea, "Some happiness can't be obtained alone. As for the kind of happiness I'm talking about, you wouldn't understand since you don't have a partner, and you won't experience my happiness."
Su Jingyi rolled her eyes at the demoness beside her and said irritably, "You've changed. In the past, when you were alone with me, all you talked about were sword techniques and killing intent. But now, all you talk about is love and happiness, and I can see nothing but affection in your eyes."
"Because I'm truly happy now." Immortal Miao Feng bit her lip lightly, her brows showing a hint of affection as she mumbled, "A millennium of killing has become dull. Meeting my little thief naturally made me reluctant to go back to the way things were. Aren't you tired as well?"
Su Jingyi opened her mouth to speak, but the words lingered for a long time before she silently swallowed them and said calmly, "My weariness is different from yours. Your weariness is loneliness, needing the love of a man. Mine is… like a wild beast in a cage, longing for freedom."
"It's all quite similar," Immortal Miao Feng raised an eyebrow and said softly, "In the end, you'll step into the realm of love, and you'll love so deeply that you can't extricate yourself, just like… me."
Fall in love? Unable to extricate oneself?
Su Jingyi looked at the clear tea in her cup, silent and somewhat unwilling.
No, this kind of thing would never happen!
…
"Master."
"You're too fragile."
When he saw that the fainting Master Kong Jue had awakened, Lu Xun said impatiently, "You were boasting to me earlier, but now you've fainted so easily. Haven't you experienced hardships before? How could you suddenly faint like this?"
Why did I faint? You still don't understand?
Master Kong Jue looked at Lu Xun indignantly but didn't know what to do. He sighed and said with frustration, "How could you, as our benefactor, do such a thing? This is the sacred robe of the Kongming Temple, and you… you've turned it into ropes and whips."
"It used to be the sacred robe of your Kongming Temple, but it's not anymore since yesterday," Lu Xun said seriously, "Master, you need to be cautious."
"I… I understand."
Although Master Kuang was filled with anger, he didn't dare to argue with Lu Xun. He nodded reluctantly and then said, "Actually, what I meant was that you were a bit wasteful."
"It varies from person to person."
"Perhaps in your eyes, this is a wasteful act, but in my eyes, it's a form of recycling," Lu Xun said earnestly. "Besides, these ropes and whips are not ordinary. This rope is called the Immortal-Binding Rope, and this whip is called the Immortal-Whipping Whip."
Immortal-Binding? Immortal-Whipping? In this world, there's only one immortal Su Jungyi besides your wife. Your motives aren't pure!
Master Kong Jue and Master Kong Ming, the two old monks, pursed their lips and looked at this dignified and elegant man who seemed like a gentleman. However, he was doing immoral and indecent things. Even Su Jingyi would probably look down on him. Moreover, he was the man of the thousand-year-old demoness. Guardian Su would definitely despise him.
"By the way."
"The staff and almsbowl, what kind of magical powers do they possess?" Lu Xun asked curiously.
"The Golden Zen Staff is made of profound iron and engraved with the supreme Buddhist teachings. It can eliminate any demons and monsters in the world," Master Kong Jue replied and hastily added, "Except for your wife, she… she no longer belongs to the category of demons and monsters."
"Oh."
"And the alms bowl?"
"That alms bowl is made of purple gold and can change its size at will. It can also ward off all the evil forces in the world," Master Kong Jue explained with a hint of pride on his face as he introduced the three sacred treasures of the Kongming Temple. However, there was also a trace of sadness and helplessness in his eyes.
Lu Xun glanced at the expression on the old abbot's face and comforted him, saying, "Master, please don't continue to be sad. In fact, you have yourselves to blame. I advised you countless times to let me go. Otherwise, when my wife arrived, the consequences would have been unimaginable. But you both were stubborn and refused to listen to me."
Who could have known that your wife is the thousand-year-old demoness Immortal Miao Feng!
Master Kong Jue sighed bitterly, "Benefactor, please don't say anymore. This is our own karma, something we can't escape from."
"Amitabha."
The nearby Master Kong Ming folded his hands together and his face was filled with melancholy.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Truly, they are great masters with such magnanimity!
Of course, the big demoness is also related to this, but if she weren't by my side, I would probably have been chased by these two.
Lu Xun didn't linger for too long. After a few words of heartfelt conversation, he bid farewell to them. The two old monks escorted him out of the temple. As they watched his departing figure, their smiling faces instantly collapsed, replaced by expressions of resentment that filled their entire faces. Like an elderly resentful woman who had lost her husband's favor.
On the horizon, riding on a flying sword.
Immortal Miao Feng leaned against her beloved in his embrace. She controlled the flying sword while feeling his deep affection for her. She was happy, yet there was a slight tinge of melancholy.
"Why is it flying so slowly?" Lu Xun asked softly, holding her tightly.
"You're asking knowingly." Immortal Miao Feng blushed, muttering, "Tomorrow, I'll teach you how to control a flying sword."
"Oh."
Lu Xun casually responded and held her body even tighter, gently asking, "How to control the sword… meaning a secret meeting, right?"
"…"
"I'm not so absurd," the demoness, who was touched on a sensitive topic, gritted her teeth. "I'm genuinely teaching you how to control a flying sword. As for secret meetings, that's your own interpretation, it has nothing to do with me!"
Lu Xun smiled affectionately and didn't say much. Facing this seductive demoness, he sometimes felt helpless. Especially when her sudden emotions caught him off guard, but her stubbornness was particularly charming.
In the world, there was a vast expanse of blue and white.
On a flying sword, Lu Xun held the demoness tightly in his arms. They didn't say much to each other, but it felt like they had said everything.
The flying speed was slow, but they would eventually reach their destination.
When they returned to their home on the mountainside, Immortal Miao Feng left without a word, leaving Lu Xun standing alone in the courtyard, holding large and small bags.
Is this character change too fast?
In the capital, she was as gentle as water, but when they returned home, she turned into a saintly figure.
Lu Xun carried the bags to his room, but as soon as he put them down, he heard a "creak" sound from behind. The door he had just closed was pushed open again.
Lu Xun turned to look, and he saw his wife standing there in her loose nightgown, half of her face illuminated by the moonlight, looking so pure, while the other half remained in shadow, shrouded in mystery.
Tied around her waist was a green ribbon, and her robe was slightly open on both sides, revealing her generous bosom, which was truly captivating.
At this moment, his wife gently lifted her hand, pinching the green ribbon between her fingers and slowly pulling it down.
