Chapter 6: I Won't Go

Chapter 6: I Won't Go

Lu Xun had been staying here for two days and had also learned quite a bit about the two women, who were actually three in total. The mature and voluptuous one was called Immortal Miao Feng, with over a thousand years of cultivation, possessing terrifying strength. If she landed a simple blow on someone, they'd have to lie in bed for a day.

Next was the aloof and cold woman, who was also a snake spirit. She had been cultivating for only 399 years and was less than a year away from her fourth great calamity. According to Immortal Miao Feng, they would engage in dual cultivation next year.

Finally, there was Xuan Shi, a fox spirit who had been cultivating for just over 200 years. Whenever Immortal Miao Feng was away, she would sneak down the mountain to play, but without exception, she would end up being beaten severely.

Lu Xun initially thought that the three women had a master-disciple relationship, as Xuan Yin always referred to Immortal Miao Feng as "Master." However, it turned out that they were more like stepmother and daughters, but their interactions resembled that of a master and disciples. There was something they seemed to be hiding, especially Immortal Miao Feng, who gave off an ominous feeling.

Apart from this matter, there was another thing that bothered Lu Xun. He had convinced himself to be the second Xu Xian, but Immortal Miao Feng didn't seem to need him.

"How is it? Did the master lie?" Immortal Miao Feng sat in the hall, drinking tea, with Xuan Yin beside her. She smiled at Xuan Yin and said, "Recently, the master sees that you get along quite well with that Lu Xun. Your feelings must have progressed by leaps and bounds, right? When are you going to engage in dual cultivation with him?"

"..."

"Master... I..."

Hearing her master's words, Xuan Yin felt a bit helpless. She didn't know which eye her master used to see that she and that brat, Lu Xun, got along well. Every day, she would beat him up, but somehow, in her master's eyes, it seemed like they were romantically involved.

"What's the matter? Still want to refute?"

"Your temperament has always been cold, when did you become so irritable?" Immortal Miao Feng asked with a smile. "Since you have cultivated to human form, you have met many young talents and always been indifferent, but when you face that Lu Xuan, you get along with him, how can you not be interested?"

"It's just that his personality is really annoying, especially his mouth. Whenever he opens it, I get so angry that I can't help but want to hit him." Xuan Yin pursed her lips and muttered softly, "If you hadn't protected him, I would have already taken his head."

Immortal Miao Feng smiled lightly and said, "If it were that night, you probably could have taken his head. But now, it's a bit difficult. Haven't you noticed that every time you beat him, he's still lively and energetic the next day?"

Xuan Yin hesitated for a moment, recalling the events of the past few days. It seemed that what her master said was true. No matter how hard she beat him, Lu Xun would bounce back the next day.

"Master?"

"Has he already reached the Late Heaven realm?" Xuan Yin asked with astonishment.

Immortal Miao Feng shook her head nonchalantly and said, "He should be in the Mid Heaven realm, but for some reason, he's shown remarkable improvement in enduring beatings, comparable to the Late Heaven realm. Maybe it's because of his Pure Yang body. Anyway, your husband quite talented in taking beatings."

Xuan Yin felt a bit hopeless. She realized her master kept emphasizing that Lu Xun was her husband to make her accept the situation. She didn't want to recognize him as her husband.

"Lu Xun."

"Could you accompany your wife to Quanzhou region?" Immortal Miao Feng smiled, asking coquettishly.

"Quanzhou?"

"From here to Quanzhou region, it would take at least two months by horse-drawn carriage," Lu Xun hesitated a bit, quietly saying, "It's too far; I don't want to go."

"Your wife knows the art of sword flying. It will only take a few hours from here to Quanzhou," Immortal Miao Feng laughed.

Lu Xun frowned, "She may know it, but I don't."

"Hold onto your wife's thigh, and she will carry you with her sword flying," Immortal Miao Feng looked at Lu Xun with flirtatious eyes, explaining softly.

"Master!"

Seeing her master's frankness, Xuan Yin became anxious and scolded, "Can't you be more proper?"

"You, little girl..."

"Since you'll be sharing the same bed anyway, what's wrong with him holding onto your thigh?" Immortal Miao Feng rolled her eyes at Xuan Yin and then turned to Lu Xun, asking in a charming voice, "What do you think?"

Lu Xun furrowed his brows, looking at the angry Xuan Yin, feeling a bit timid.

"I... won't... go!"

...

..

Xuan Yin stepped on the sword's hilt and body, flying with the sword towards Quanzhou. Meanwhile, the unlucky Lu Xun sat at the hilt, tightly holding onto one of Xuan Yin's jade legs.

"Slow down! Slow down!"

"I'm afraid of heights!"
