Chapter 54: Stole You Away
Lu Xun's voice shattered the silence in the room. The little fox, Xuan Shi, furrowed her brows and glanced at Xuan Yin, whose face was now flushed like she was drunk. Pouting her lips, she muttered, "Wife? Hmph, so affectionate…"
Hearing the murmurs from the little fox, Xuan Yin wished she could just find a hole to hide in. Suppressing her inner embarrassment, she glared at her, then silently got up and walked toward the door. Opening the wooden door gently, she spotted the mischievous rogue. His handsome face wore a somewhat sly smile, which grew more infuriating the longer she looked.
"What are you here for…Xuan Shi is in my room."
Xuan Yin pressed her luscious lips together, her eyes a mix of embarrassment and anger, but also filled with affection for the man before her. She spoke leisurely, "Hurry up and go practice your sword skills in the courtyard… don't come here to cause trouble. I haven't forgotten last night's feud… I'll settle the score with you later."
As she attempted to close the door, Lu Xun grabbed onto the door frame. Gently, he said, "Wife… I haven't seen you all night. I was almost dying to see you."
Faced with this unexpected sweet talk, Xuan Yin had no defenses. She felt both bashful and a little sweet. She softly bit her lower lip and, with a seductive air, rolled her eyes at this sweet-talking rascal. Irritably, she retorted, "Then keep wanting, don't bother me…"
Oh dear…
Look at the spoiled attitude of my wife!
When your yin energy surges and you're in full estrus, let's see how I'll conquer you, little snake demoness!
"Chat with her quickly… I'll wait for you in the courtyard," Lu Xun said, one hand gripping the door frame tightly, the other slowly reaching for Xuan Yin's delicate hand. At the same time, the little demoness noticed his movement, subconsciously retracting her hand behind her back and glaring at him with a blushing face.
"No touching!"
"The little fox is still inside the room, waiting for me…" Xuan Yin scolded angrily, "When we're reading tonight… I'll let you touch, but not now! Now… is not the time!"
Just as she finished speaking, the little fox just happened to suddenly dart out from behind Xuan Yin, her face full of confusion. "Sister… where do you want him to touch you?"
"Ah—"
"You… you… scared me!"
Xuan Yin was startled by the little fox's sudden appearance from behind her. She blushed and looked at her, saying irritably, "What touching? What nonsense are you talking about? How could I be so frivolous? And what's going on in your little head? Did you learn all this from the outside? You never focus on cultivation and keep fooling around all day."
Unjustly scolded, Xuan Shi felt so wronged that she was on the verge of tears. Her cherry-like mouth pouted high, and it was as if the word "pitiful"was written all over her face. She muttered in a small voice, "Forgetting your sister for the sake of love… You said you'd always be with me, but you're such a big liar!"
Xuan Yin ignored her, glanced at Lu Xun still at the door, and urged, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and practice your sword."
"Oh…"
"Wife, I'm leaving."
Before leaving, Lu Xun took advantage of the little fox's inattention and secretly blew a kiss to the little demoness. Watching her cold and charming face turn red in an instant, he grinned and slipped away.
Bad fiancé… so annoying!
Fooling around all day long. One day, you'll pay the price for it!
Watching his departing figure, Xuan Yin's heart stirred with waves of emotions. She couldn't help but admit… he had already claimed a VIP spot in her heart, almost pushing her master and the little fox out of the picture.
"Sister…"
"He's already gone."
The little fox stood beside her and, seeing the deep and affectionate gaze in Xuan Yin's eyes, gently reminded her.
"…"
"I know."
"I was just lost in thought." Xuan Yin pursed her lips and glanced at Xuan Shi by her side. She softly inquired, "What have you been doing outside during this time? You didn't even want to come home. Do you know how worried Master and I were about you?"
"Wandering around, eating and drinking."
"Staying here all the time is so boring… You and the master never go out. I… I'm so bored all by myself," Xuan Shi complained, pouting her lips.
Xuan Yin sighed, upon careful reflection, realizing that it wasn't all the little fox's fault that she loved going down the mountain. The little fox was naturally mischievous and couldn't stay put. Sometimes, she and her Master neglected her feelings. However, given her current level of cultivation, going down the mountain alone was fraught with danger. If something were to happen… the consequences would be dire.
"If you're bored in the future, go find Lu Xun. He's similar to you in many ways. I think you two could get along," Xuan Yin whispered.
"Hmph!"
"He stole you away from me. I don't want to play with him," Xuan Shi rolled her eyes and said grumpily, "I wish I could just chop him into pieces."
After speaking, the little fox lifted her head, stared directly at Xuan Yin, and curiously asked, "Sister… aren't you afraid that I might lure him away?"
Looking at the little fox's petite stature, flat chest, and pert bottom, Xuan Yin's cold and charming face revealed a shallow smile. She softly said, "If he could like you, I wouldn't mind. From then on, you could be his wife or concubine…"
"You're quite generous…"
"Why not have your darling fiancé take your master as well? The three of us could be his wives together," the little fox retorted unenthusiastically.
"…"
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Xuan Yin lightly tapped Xuan Shi's forehead and muttered, "Alright, alright… go back to your room and rest. I'm going to teach him sword practice."
With that, the two sisters parted ways. One returned to her room, and the other headed to the courtyard. As Xuan Yin arrived at the courtyard, she spotted her mischievous fiancé practicing his sword. His moves were even more skilled and smooth than yesterday, and she felt a twinge of bitterness.
"Wife?"
"When did you arrive?" Lu Xun sheathed his Meteor Star Sword and hurried over to her.
"Just now."
"Did you break through to a new realm?" Xuan Yin frowned, scrutinizing him intently. She hadn't noticed it at the door earlier, but now she realized her fiancé was different.
"Uh…"
"I had a breakthrough this morning, and your Master said that I broke through to the Late Heaven Realm," Lu Xun nodded and gently said, "Wife… I've noticed that ever since I started living with you, my cultivation speed has improved significantly."
Pausing for a moment, he continued, "In the past, I wandered alone without a place to settle. But now, I have a home and you by my side. Uh… wife, I want to tell you that in this restless world, having you makes me feel unusually at ease."
Though he had said similar words to the big demoness, it didn't hurt to share them with the younger one. Master of balance, Lu Xun carefully treaded the fine line, ensuring that neither received more attention.
In an instant,
The little demoness's face turned crimson, and her body began to feel weak.
Oh my…
My fiancé's words are so sweet!
