Chapter 46: I Am Both Her Master And Mother
Immortal Miao Feng luxuriously soaked in the warm pool, feeling the comforting warmth envelop her entire body, allowing her muscles and bones to relax. In fact, she and the little demoness both enjoyed taking baths. Whenever they had free time, they would come here to soak, including the little fox who had sneaked out from the mountain and hadn't returned home yet. Sometimes, all three of them would bathe together.
Gently lifting one of her arms, her delicate fingers lightly played with the warm pool's surface, causing ripples to dance across the water. Her thoughts followed the waves… beginning to drift away as various imaginative ideas sprouted in her mind.
That little scoundrel… who gave him the audacity to even desire my body? Is he really not afraid of death?
The big demoness lightly pursed her red lips, a hint of helplessness and bitterness crossing her expression. Upon closer reflection… perhaps all of this was a result of her own actions. Initially, he trembled in fear upon seeing her, like a mouse encountering a cat. Yet, her repeated acts of indulgence gradually emboldened him.
Just as Immortal Miao Feng was lost in her contemplations, she suddenly heard a strange sound. It seemed like bubbles were emerging from the water… and not far away. However, the big demoness paid it no mind; she regarded it as possibly caused by geothermal activity.
She began to gently cleanse her body, intending to wash away the exhaustion of the past few days with the warm water.
Result…
As she was washing herself, suddenly, not far away in the warm pool, a living, breathing man emerged.
Faced with this unexpected scene, Immortal Miao Feng completely lost her composure. She stared dumbfoundedly at the little scoundrel who had climbed out of the pool. In a state of panic and urgency, along with immense confusion, she even forgot her own appearance wearing a waistband.
"I was almost suffocated… almost drowned." Emerging from the warm pool's surface, Lu Xun's face was flushed red due to holding his breath for a long time. He was panting heavily, and as he turned his head to see the big demoness, who was now as still as a statue, he politely greeted her in an embarrassed manner, "Hello, sister… you're finally back. I've been missing you so much these past few days."
His sweet words echoed in her ears, inadvertently pulling her thoughts back to her mind. Immortal Miao Feng stared blankly at the man who suddenly appeared. A startled cry escaped her lips, instantly shattering the silence.
"Ah—"
Instinctively, Immortal Miao Feng embraced her own body in the water, her face displaying astonishment as she bit her lower lip. Gritting her teeth, she demanded, "You… what are you doing here?"
"Bathing," Lu Xun replied nonchalantly. "And I've been here half an hour before you."
"You… I…"
Faced with Lu Xun's explanation, Immortal Miao Feng found herself at a loss for words. The mature and enchanting expression on her face revealed a mix of panic, helplessness, and regret. She had repeated the same mistake again—before undressing, she had failed to sense her surroundings.
"Enough, enough…"
"Both Xuan Yin and I have bathed together before. There's nothing remarkable about you and me taking a bath," Lu Xun waved his hand dismissively, leaning comfortably against the stone wall. He gazed at Immortal Miao Feng not far away, observing the mature and voluptuous demoness who was partially submerged in the warm pool. Only her neck and above were visible, and her captivating face had turned rosy due to both the water temperature and her surprise.
Although he could only see her face, in Lu Xun's mind, an involuntary image formed of her curvaceous and alluring figure.
"You and Xuan Yin are husband and wife, so it's natural for you to bathe together. But me and you… what kind of absurd situation is this?" Immortal Miao Feng exclaimed angrily. "It's been about half an hour now. You… you better get out of here immediately!"
"Oh, come on… Let me stay a bit longer."
Lu Xun shamelessly lounged in the pool, half-floating, half-sitting. He grinned and said, "Sister… you can treat me like air, pretend I don't exist."
"You…"
"You little rascal, you rogue." Immortal Miao Feng glared at him with furious eyes, coldly threatening, "You'll pay for this later!"
"Alright, alright."
"All you ever do is threaten me. Xuan Yin shouts about chopping off my head all the time, and you occasionally want to chop off my body. I've noticed you two are quite similar. If I didn't know your ages, I might have thought you and Xuan Yin were sisters," Lu Xun chuckled.
Immortal Miao Feng pursed her plump lips, glaring icily at the rogue. Calmly, she said, "Your wife was someone I found in the mountains. At that time, she hadn't fully taken human form, but she already possessed considerable spiritual roots. Seeing her innate talent, I brought her by my side, taught her cultivation, and worldly knowledge. I am both her master and her mother, yet I am not…"
Her words trailed off.
A subtle contradiction flickered between her brows as she stole a glance at him from the corner of her eye. This audacious rascal had opened his mouth… yet the words that hovered on the tip of his tongue lingered there for a long while, unable to be spoken.
"Lu Xun…"
"Do you truly not mind that Xuan Yin is a demon?" Immortal Miao Feng asked casually. "In the eyes of the world… demons are notorious for their misdeeds."
"This question…"
"Xuan Yin asked me the same thing."
Lu Xun pursed his lips and replied softly, "If there were no misfortune, no disasters, and no demons in this world, how would people have a reason to go to temples and burn incense? Without demons, there would be no self-proclaimed righteous individuals, no youths who acted thoughtlessly… Simplifying the world to such an extent."
"In fact…"
"In this world, there is no absolute evil or good, no absolute right or wrong. It's just that everyone's perspective is different," Lu Xun paused for a moment and continued, "I've seen the kindest demons and the ugliest humans. Often, beneath the bright and glamorous exterior, there lies a heart tainted with filth."
"Sister…"
"Both you and Xuan Yin are the only ones in this world I can trust unconditionally," Lu Xun gazed straight into her eyes, at the big demoness in front of him. He earnestly said, "Your opinions both matter a lot to me."
After hearing Lu Xun's words, Immortal Miao Feng found herself stunned in the pool. The distinct and earnest look in his eyes, along with his profoundly sincere confession, unintentionally struck the most fragile chord within her heart, causing ripples to course through her entire being.
Both Xuan Yin and I… are important to him?
How could he say something so absurd right in front of me!
A strong sense of embarrassment coursed through her body. Immortal Miao Feng quickly averted her gaze, her face flushed. Filled with both embarrassment and anger, along with hurried breaths, she said, "Hurry up and leave!"
"…"
"Why do I have to leave again?" Lu Xun said with a bitter smile. "Alright, alright… I'm going back."
Pressured by the demoness's urging, Lu Xun climbed out of the pool on his own and then retrieved his discarded clothes from the forest.
Immortal Miao Feng discreetly turned her head, but in an instant, her face turned beet red.
Seeing a man's naked body for the first time, it turned out to be so robust. This little rascal… he's much more muscular than I had imagined.
