Chapter 53: Snake Baby Or Human Baby?

The little fox demoness turned her head with a look of disbelief, gazing at Xuan Yin incredulously, and even started to doubt her own ears.

"Sister... what did you just say?" The little fox asked in astonishment, her brows furrowed in an expression of disbelief. She lightly pursed her mouth and said, "You... you like that man? You're not teasing me, are you?"

"I... I..."

Xuan Yin nodded with a complicated expression on her face. A faint blush tinted her cold and charming countenance. She shyly and somewhat helplessly replied, "I do like him..."

The little fox, now confirmed once again, widened her eyes in shock, frozen like a log. She opened her mouth... but didn't know what to say. She simply couldn't comprehend how the usually aloof Xuan Yin could develop feelings for a man.

"Come in and let's talk..."

Xuan Yin pulled the dumbfounded little fox into the room, leading her to her own chamber, where they sat facing each other.

Seeing the dazed little fox, Xuan Yin sighed helplessly and said quietly, "His name is Lu Xun... Master encountered him outside and brought him here. As for Master's intention... it's for him and me to cultivate together."

Xuan Shi was taken aback and looked at her with confusion. She asked, "Why? Why would the Master do this?"

"You should be aware of my Yin constitution. It erupts once every hundred years. If I manage to endure it, it's fine. But if not, the consequences can be disastrous. In the past, I barely made it through with Master's help, but starting from this time... even our Master can't do anything."

Xuan Yin lightly pursed her lips and continued, "However, he possesses a pure yang body... if we cultivate together, it can suppress the Yin within me. Master's purpose is also for this reason. She wants me... to become his wife, and then... well..."

At this point, the little demoness blushed a little, her voice becoming somewhat hesitant as she said, "It's probably something like that."

"..."

"Sister?"

"Do you genuinely like him, or is it out of consideration for your Yin physique, that you're forced to like him?" The little fox earnestly inquired.

"I..."

"I..."

Xuan Yin also felt a bit overwhelmed. In truth, she didn't want to tell the little fox, but if she didn't explain to her, who knows what kind of tricks this girl might come up with. She couldn't help but lower her head, answering with a shy tone, "I initially despised him and even harbored thoughts of killing him. After all, being forced to cultivate with a stranger is something... anyone would find hard to accept."

"However..."

"Just curious..."

The little fox pursed her lips, gazing at Xuan Yin and asked softly, "Sister... does he like you?"

"Well..."

"If he doesn't like me, I wouldn't like him either." Xuan Yin shrugged her shoulders, memories of Lu Xun's playfulness and sweet words flooding her mind. An inexplicable throbbing sensation ran through her body, and she whispered, "Lu Xun, this guy... may be bad, flirtatious, and even a bit mischievous, but I can feel... that he genuinely likes me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have fallen for him."

"Oh..."

"When will you two start cultivating together?" Xuan Shi stared at her intently, her brows knitted in curiosity.

"What does that have to do with you?" Xuan Yin snapped impatiently, "You're not allowed to ask these kinds of questions in the future, and don't mention anything about our private matters."

"Hmph!"

"Stingy!" Xuan Shi rolled her eyes, crossing her arms in a huff.

As the conversation came to a close, the little fox suddenly stood up, walked over to Xuan Yin, and sniffed her.

"What... what are you doing?" Xuan Yin furrowed her brows, puzzled.

The little fox raised her head, looking at Xuan Yin solemnly. She said seriously, "You smell strongly of that man, very strongly... super strong."

"Ah?"

"Well..."

A blush crept onto Xuan Yin's cheeks, rendering her momentarily speechless.

Suddenly, a knocking sound came from outside the room.

"My wife~"

"Can I come in?"
