Chapter 58: Explore Things Together Under The Covers

The little fox listened with great interest as Lu Xun narrated the story of Journey to the West. At this moment, she completely forgot how proud and stubborn she had been before. Lost in the vivid story was Xuan Yin beside her, who had already put down her calligraphy brush and was now listening to her beloved recounting the tale.

"Bodhi Patriarch tapped Sun Wukong's forehead three times, like this..." Lu Xun picked up an unused brush and lightly tapped the small forehead of the little fox, who was engrossed on the other side. He continued, "Bodhi Patriarch didn't explain the meaning to Wukong. Then, he swept his sleeves and left, leaving Wukong standing there in contemplation..."

"In that instant..."

"Sun Wukong seemed to understand his master's intention. It turns out..." Lu Xun paused intentionally at this point. He saw the eager anticipation in the little fox's gaze and the urgency in her eyes. With a mischievous smile, he softly said, "To know what happens next, stay tuned for the next episode."

"What?!"

The little fox suddenly stood up, glaring at the stinky man in front of her with wide, angry eyes. She exclaimed in frustration, "You... you... deliberately stopped at the most crucial moment! It must be on purpose! Intentionally making me uncomfortable... No, no, today I must hear why Bodhi Patriarch tapped Sun Wukong's forehead three times."

Xuan Yin was also quite dissatisfied with Lu Xun's approach, harboring a bit of resentment in her heart. She looked at him with a face of annoyance, but since the little fox was present, she didn't show it. Instead, she lightly kicked him under the table.

"Oh dear..."

"This is how storytelling goes... If there's no suspense, no one will listen later. Let's continue tomorrow... Tomorrow at the same time, we'll pick up where we left off." Lu Xun said with a smile, "And not only do I have Journey to the West, but also many other stories. Do you know Water Margin? Have you heard of Tales of the East? Don't worry, don't worry... I'll tell you all of them in the future."

"Ah—"

The little fox was practically exploding with frustration, but she couldn't do anything about it. Her cultivation and realm weren't enough, and she simply couldn't overpower him. She quickly turned her head to look at Xuan Yin, her adorable little face full of grievances. She muttered softly, "Sister... your man is deliberately causing trouble. You... you don't say a few words and just let him bully me."

A faint blush appeared on Xuan Yin's enchanting face. She turned away and softly said, "This is a matter between you and him."

"You know what, don't come to me to argue about it. I... I can't control him either."The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.

"Hmph!"

"What do you mean, can't control him... Clearly, you're biased toward him." The little fox pouted her small mouth and said in a huff, "Sister... you've been clouded by desire. I advise you to come to your senses and focus on being a proper snake demoness."

Xuan Yin raised her head and gave her a fierce glare, scolding, "How dare a little fox like you try to lecture me?"

"Why not?"

A sweet and mellow breath escaped her rosy lips as she blushed even deeper. Her alluring face grew even hotter, and she scolded with irritation, "Don't... don't be mischievous."

"Hehe..."

Lu Xun chuckled in a simple and honest manner. He stopped teasing her palm and spoke softly, "Do you want to go to the rooftop later? There are many stars tonight. I want to hold you... and watch the stars with you, maybe share some secrets."

Ah—

So fond of it and looking forward to it!

Xuan Yin gazed at her partner beside her, her eyes filled with a mix of bewilderment, helplessness, and apology. She said with a bitter tone, "Tonight isn't possible... as you just heard, I need to go find the little fox later. If I break the promise, she... she will definitely make a fuss, and it will be uncontrollable."

"Alright."

"After all, there will come a day... a day or two won't make much difference." Lu Xun nodded and smiled.

The two of them shared a tender moment. The little demoness listened to Lu Xun's words of affection, and her body almost turned soft. Her eyes held endless spring sentiments, but unfortunately, the little fox was still waiting for her. She bid farewell with reluctance.

Xuan Yin gently pushed open the door, and couldn't help but turn back to look at him. She saw him tidying up the table, and biting her lips, she softly murmured, "Husband... I'm leaving."

After saying that, she hurriedly slipped away, leaving behind only a faint lingering fragrance and a bashful whisper of ‘husband.'

...

...

Late at night.

Lu Xun was sitting cross-legged on the bed, focusing on his cultivation. Since coming here, he hadn't slept. He was in deep meditation, fervently absorbing precious cultivation and experience.

"Squeak—"

The door was quietly pushed open from the outside, and a figure sneaked in. Stealthily, it moved towards Lu Xun.
