Chapter 157: Showdown
Immortal Miao Feng, through a special mark she had once planted on Lu Xun, discovered that he had appeared in a very distant and unfamiliar place, and the crucial part was that there was a woman with him. Being alone together in the middle of the night, they must be up to no good!
"Alright!"
"He actually dares to slip away under my nose and have a secret rendezvous with other women, aside from Xuan Yin!" Immortal Miao Feng's bewitching and mature face was filled with anger and resentment, mixed with a trace of hatred. She knew the little thief was a fickle guy, but she never expected him to actually dare to slip away from her.
After the anger and resentment subsided, Immortal Miao Feng regained her composure. Since the deed had already been done, she would definitely give him a beating, without needing any reason. But after the beating, what should she do? With the little thief's passionate nature, he would probably continue to make mistakes. Unless she disabled his hands and legs or…
Thinking of this, Immortal Miao Feng pursed her lips and muttered to herself, "It seems I can't be lenient anymore, I must make his legs tremble, preferably making him completely limp in bed, with no strength even to crawl. That way, he won't give Xuan Yin and me any further trouble."
As she spoke, she involuntarily clenched her fists, and even her veins popped as she gritted her teeth, "I'm coming to find you now. First, I'll kill that wench, and then… then I'll give you a thorough beating. For the next few days, don't even think about leaving my bed!"
After saying that, Immortal Miao Feng pushed aside her blanket. She got off the bed, picked up her bellyband and undergarments from the floor, gracefully put them on, and then went to her closet. After finding an elegant white dress, she quickly left her room, summoned her flying sword, and flew in the direction of Lu Xun.
"You little thief, just wait for me!"
At the same time, Lu Xun was receiving lessons from Su Jingyi. At first, he refused, but Su Jingyi's attitude was very firm. Coupled with his mind being clouded by her beauty, he had agreed without thinking much. Watching the mature and stunning Daoist nun before him, along with her graceful and agile sword techniques, he couldn't help but lament that her Daoist robe was too cumbersome.
"Have you learned it?" Su Jingyi put away her sword and looked at Lu Xun not far away, her eyes seemingly devoid of any emotions.
"How can I learn it at once?" Lu Xun shrugged and replied with a bitter smile. "But from what I just saw, it seems like an ordinary sword technique, more like a rather basic one, with nothing particularly special about it."
"Miao Feng didn't put her heart into teaching you. She only knows how to enjoy pleasure. Naturally, I have to start from scratch," Su Jingyi said indifferently. "In addition, when you go to kill the imperial alchemist, you must not look into his eyes. The best way is to blindfold your own eyes with a black cloth."
"Blindfold my eyes?"
"Wouldn't that make me blind? How am I supposed to kill him then? Blindly hack away?" Lu Xun furrowed his brow, puzzled.
"I will teach you the art of distinguishing sounds," Su Jingyi said casually. "Furthermore, you need to learn how to break formations. The imperial alchemist excels in various formations, especially illusion-based ones, but your pure yang body naturally counters illusions."
"Do I have to learn formations too? Isn't that too troublesome?" Lu Xun said with a wry smile.
"You can choose not to learn," Su Jingyi replied. "But if you want to stay alive, then you'd better learn it seriously."
Lu Xun's face immediately showed a sense of helplessness. He pursed his lips and curiously asked, "Do you and my wife know the method to break formations?"
"We both rely on brute force, but I'm a bit more refined than your wife. She's just a pure brute who never considers the consequences," Su Jingyi said with a slight smirk. She glanced at Lu Xun out of the corner of her eye and asked in a soft voice, "I've criticized your wife like this. Are you angry?"
"Although I want to refute, I have no words to say. Please continue," Lu Xun indicated for her to go on.
"There's nothing else to say," Su Jingyi said. "I will teach you various countermeasures. Learn them diligently, not for my sake but for your own."
She paused for a moment and asked casually, "Did Miao Feng mention something else to you?"
"Something else?"
How much has she been keeping from me?
Lu Xun shook his head, "She only told me about this."
"I see. Well, since she didn't tell you, it's probably for the best." Su Jingyi didn't seem to mind and gazed at the man in front of her. He could be described as handsome and dashing, but for some reason, she felt that he was a bit unruly, especially when there was a faint evil charm between his brows. It was a sign of a flirtatious scoundrel.
Is the demoness blind? How did she… how did she fall for this man? Why do I feel nothing for him? She's protecting him so tightly as if she's afraid of him being tainted by other women. Admittedly, many women might be attracted to him, but I certainly won't be one of them.
Su Jingyi lightly pursed her lips and softly inquired, "How did you and Miao Feng meet?"
"Oh," Lu Xun said. "I used to be a Daoist who slayed demons and eliminated evil. Then, one night, I encountered her…" Lu Xun laughed awkwardly and continued, "But she knocked me out. After that, we… we gradually developed feelings for each other. Of course, there were many, many things that happened in between, all related to love and affection. I'm sure you're not interested."
I am!
I would be delighted to hear about her embarrassing moments!
Su Jingyi really wanted to hear more about the "many, many things" that Lu Xun mentioned, but due to their pride and the unfamiliarity between them, she resisted the urge to ask and said casually, "Since you used to be a Daoist who slayed demons and eliminated evil, you must know some Daoist techniques, right?"
"Daoist techniques…"
"I know some basic ones," Lu Xun said, feeling even more embarrassed about this topic. He chuckled awkwardly and said, "I started learning Daoism halfway through and only had about a month of training. The old Daoist who taught me just flew away on a crane, and then I wandered the martial world for two and a half years, relying on my vast righteous aura."
Su Jingyi frowned. "If we meet again next time, I'll bring you some secret Daoist scriptures to practice. Don't disgrace the reputation of Daoism."
With that said, Su Jingyi continued, "Have you met Xuan Yin and Xuan Shi?"
Lu Xun couldn't help but hesitate and cautiously asked, "Are you close to them?"
"Thanks to your wife, they bear a grudge against me, but I don't mind. I quite like them, especially the little fox, Xuan Shi," Su Jingyi glanced at Lu Xun and said calmly, "Do Xuan Yin and Xuan Shi know about Miao Feng and you?"
Uh…
How should I answer this?
Lu Xun momentarily didn't know how to respond. After some thought and a hint of playfulness, he said, "Guess?"
"…"
"As the demoness said, you're quite mischievous," Su Jingyi showed a faint smile, speaking softly, "If you weren't Miao Feng's consort, with your playfulness just now, I'd make sure you spend a few days in bed."
This sudden smile revealed the charm unique to her, as refreshing as a spring breeze. Lu Xun, who had both the big demoness and the little demoness in his grasp, almost couldn't contain himself. Thankfully, he was well aware and didn't lose his composure.
Wow.
This allure is no less than that of the little fox. Remember, the little fox has a natural seductiveness, coupled with being a Nine-Tailed Fox. She can only achieve this level for now. But who knows, with an increase in her cultivation, the little fox might become even more enticing.
However, it must be said that Su Jingyi can balance Immortal Miao Feng well, preventing her from dominating the household. But then again, in such a confrontational situation, he wasn't entirely confident, imagining the terrifying scenario was like being in hell.
While Lu Xun was lost in his thoughts, Su Jingyi continued to observe him, trying to find any glimmer of hope in him. Unfortunately, apart from his pure yang body, there didn't seem to be anything worth her attention.
What does the demoness see in him, anyway?
Su Jingyi was full of curiosity, and at the same time, she recalled a sentence spoken by Immortal Miao Feng: "Don't try to understand him, or you'll fall in love with him."
Fall in love with him?
The demoness is quite amusing. Even if all the men in the world were extinct and only her consort remained, I still wouldn't fall in love with him.
"I'll head back now."
"By the way, can I still use that flying sword?" Lu Xun pointed to the floating sword nearby.
"It was always yours," Su Jingyi came back to her senses and replied faintly.
"Is that so?" Lu Xun asked, puzzled. "Then why are you able to use it?"
Su Jingyi raised her eyes and looked at him. She asked casually, "Is there a problem with that?"
"Isn't there a problem with that?" Lu Xun retorted.
"Don't worry."
"I won't do this in the future," Su Jingyi lightly pursed her lips, wanting to say more but suddenly sensing something. She looked towards the horizon, and her brows furrowed involuntarily.
"Too late," Su Jingyi said quietly. "You're already out of time."
"What?" Lu Xun realized something and asked in a frightened tone, "Is my wife coming?"
Su Jingyi nodded calmly and said, "She's about to arrive."
As she finished speaking, a dazzling silver light appeared on the horizon, and it instantly landed in front of Lu Xun.
"Su! Jing! Yiiii!"
Dust and smoke filled the air, and though her form was not yet visible, her voice preceded her.
When the dust settled, Lu Xun saw the big demoness standing before him, dressed in an elegant white robe, holding a longsword. Although he couldn't see her face at this moment, he imagined it must be quite fierce and terrifying.
This seemed like it was going to be a showdown!
