There’s Something Wrong With These Demonic Women!

Chapter 32: Come In

Chapter 32: Come In

Xuan Yin rarely had the chance to come to the marketplace. Usually, when she went down the mountain, it was to accomplish tasks assigned by her Master. Under normal circumstances, she would stay in her room. But now, she stood by Lu Xun's side, eating the delicious and sweet candied haws, while watching him buy all sorts of inexplicable things, stirring up an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Although she didn't want to admit it, the fact was that whenever she was by his side, she didn't feel like cultivating. Even if they did nothing, just quietly being with him felt much more enjoyable than practicing.

"Why did you buy so many things?" Xuan Yin held the candied haws in her hand and asked coldly.

"It's rare to come down the mountain, so of course, I want to buy more," Lu Xun turned his head and looked at the aloof little demoness beside him. Seeing that she had already eaten most of the candied haw, he asked, "Do you want me to buy another string for you?"

Xuan Yin hesitated for a moment, looking at the string of candied haws in her hand. She did feel that it wasn't quite enough, and it would be better to have another string, but…

"No need!"

"One string is enough," Xuan Yin turned her head slightly, raised her chin, and a faint trace of pride and stubbornness flashed in her eyes.

Seeing her stubborn appearance, Lu Xun smiled bitterly and silently handed the candied haw meant for Immortal Miao Feng directly to her. He gently said, "You eat this first, and later I'll buy another one for your master."

"I don't want to eat it. You forced me to eat," Xuan Yin snatched it from his hand, pressing her own face and speaking words she herself didn't quite believe.

Lu Xun didn't say much. He was already used to the her stubbornness. At first, he thought she was quite troublesome, but now he found her quite adorable. It was hard to imagine that a snake demoness who had lived for nearly four hundred years had a temper similar to that of a child.

In the following time,

The aloof little demoness became Lu Xun's little follower, sticking to him like a shadow. Until she passed by a vendor selling hairpins, her gaze couldn't help but be drawn to one of the hairpins. She paused there for a moment, her eyes showing a faint desire. She glanced at him walking ahead and gently bit her lips before silently following.

"There was someone selling hairpins just now," the little demoness said casually.

"Is that so?"

"Do you want it?" Lu Xun asked.

"…"

"I don't want it!" The veiled Xuan Yin pouted her little mouth and said coldly, "If I want it, I'll buy it myself. No need to tell you."

Lu Xun turned his head and indeed saw an old woman selling various hairpins and hair accessories not far away. He then glanced at Xuan Yin beside him, who appeared soft all over but had a tough mouth. He knew that if he didn't buy a hairpin today, she might throw a tantrum.

Ignoring her, Lu Xun walked towards the old woman. The little demoness felt a faint sense of satisfaction when she saw this. She then followed him expressionlessly.

"Which one do you like?" Lu Xun looked at the wide variety of hairpins and asked casually to the side where Xuan Yin was standing.

"No need!" Xuan Yin glanced at the one hairpin she was interested in and replied coldly.

Uh-oh. Faced with multiple choices now, and this is a bit too much.

Lu Xun hesitated for a long time, looking at hundreds of hairpins and hair accessories. Eventually, he picked one that he thought looked good. At the same time, the corner of his eye noticed that the little demoness seemed dissatisfied.

"This hairpin doesn't match you," Lu Xun said absentmindedly as he put the chosen hairpin down. He then reached out and wandered among the various hairpins and hair accessories. When his hand stopped at a green and white hairpin, he saw a glimmer of light in her eyes.

This is the one!

Lu Xun picked up the green and white hairpin and looked at the aloof Xuan Yin with a dazed expression. He said earnestly, "I feel like this hairpin matches you very well. I wonder if it's the one you like."

Xuan Yin's face showed a hint of emotion. He actually picked the right one. Could this be what they call being on the same wavelength? No, no, no. It must be his good luck. As the master often says, even a blind cat can catch a dead mouse. It must be something like that.

"It's okay."

"But if you give it to me, I'll reluctantly accept it," Xuan Yin turned her face away, pretending to be indifferent, and said nonchalantly.

Oh dear. Are you really four hundred years old? Why do you seem like you're only four?

Lu Xun didn't pay attention to the little demoness. He directly took out the remaining silver and, as he was about to pay, Xuan Yin turned her head and secretly watched him. Afterward, she turned away again, pretending not to care.

"Give it to me when we go back." Before Lu Xun could speak, Xuan Yin said coldly.

"Uh…"

"Is there a possibility that I don't want to give it to you?" Lu Xun said with a mischievous smile.

Xuan Yin was stunned for a moment, her willow eyebrows furrowing as she stared at him and said indifferently, "Whatever. Give it or don't give it. It's up to you."

Having said that, she walked away with an imposing manner. However, after walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped, turned around, glared at Lu Xun behind her, and fiercely threatened, "If you don't give it to me, I'll chop off your head when we get back!"

"Oh."

"I was just teasing you!" Lu Xun hurriedly ran over and stood beside the little demoness, gently coaxing, "How could I not give it to you? Besides, if not you, then who should I give it to? Should I give it to your master?"

"Hmph!" Xuan Yin snorted coldly.

On the way back, Xuan Yin flew slowly, thinking about various things, all of which were related to a certain person.

She found that in her heart, where there used to be only her master and the little fox, now there was another person, and this person seemed to occupy a large part of her heart. Even though she clearly dislikes him, she couldn't help but think of him, and even vaguely had feelings for him.

Unconsciously, the two returned to the courtyard. Xuan Yin put away the meteor star sword and handed it directly to him, then walked away without looking back.

"Wife!"

"Your hairpin!" Lu Xun shouted.

Xuan Yin stopped her footsteps, turned around, and walked toward Lu Xun, snatching the green and white hairpin from him with a fierce look.

Watching her figure recede, Lu Xun hurriedly shouted again, "Aren't you going to give the candy-coated haws and date cakes to your master?"

"I didn't buy them." Xuan Yin coldly replied, then promptly disappeared from sight.

Lu Xun carried the various packages and returned to his room. He didn't linger and took two strands of candy-coated haws and a bundle of date cakes, then headed straight to where the big demoness lived.

"Knock, knock, knock -"

He knocked on the door, and after a moment, Immortal Miao Feng's voice came from inside, soft and a bit lazy. "Is that Xuan Yin?"

"Then come in."

Lu Xun took a deep breath, gently pushed open the door, and entered.
