Chapter 74: My Wife Needs Me Right Now
Finally back at the halfway point of the mountain estate, the bumpy journey left Lu Xun feeling like he was falling apart. Now he slumped in a chair, looking utterly dispirited.
"Even though I carried you, you're the one looking exhausted," the little fox remarked, eyeing the now paralyzed man with annoyance in her voice.
"Can you blame me?"
"Who asked your waist to be so wobbly? I almost got shaken to bits by you," Lu Xun supported his waist, saying ruefully, "I can't take it anymore... I need to go back and treat this. You... just do whatever you want. The bedding is here for you."
As he finished speaking, Lu Xun staggered away from the hall, leaving the little fox all alone.
Passing through a corridor, he arrived at the spacious backyard. Looking back, he realized the little fox hadn't followed him. In an instant, his posture straightened, and he trotted excitedly toward Xuan Yin's room, lightly tapping the door and calling out in a hushed voice.
"Wife... I'm back."
Lu Xun leaned against the door, calling out through a narrow crack.
After a moment, the door slowly opened, revealing the breathtakingly beautiful and enchanting face like that of a celestial maiden. Seeing his wife again after being apart for several days filled him with indescribable joy, a kind of reunion happiness that words couldn't express. He really wanted to hold her tight and shower her with kisses, unable to stop himself.
At the same time, seeing him return, Xuan Yin's brows arched with a noticeable excitement and delight. She was about to say something when he suddenly scooped her up into his arms. Faced with this unexpected gesture, a mixture of happiness and nervousness bubbled up within the little demoness.
"You... you..."
"What are you doing in broad daylight!" The little demoness feigned struggling in his arms for a moment but soon gave in. A slight blush adorned her cheeks, and her eyes looked at him with a dazed gaze, a gaze that seemed to say she was a bit lost in the moment. She chided, "You... you only just came back."
"Oh..."
"This has nothing to do with me. You should ask the little fox about it." Lu Xun carried Xuan Yin into the room, shutting the door with his leg. Unconcerned, he held the little demoness tighter against him. A subtle and enchanting fragrance wafted from her, causing Lu Xun to feel a bit light-headed.
Sensing his affection towards her, the little demoness felt a mix of pride and an inexplicable impulse. Her breathing began to quicken, and the blush that had initially colored her cheeks spread down to her neck and ears, along with a slight warmth.
Everything had been fine before... but now that he was here, something about her body didn't feel right anymore. If they didn't engage in dual cultivation soon, things might not end well.
"Wife?"
"Why do you feel a bit feverish?" Lu Xun sensed the rapid increase in the little demoness' body temperature and asked, puzzled.
"There are... times when this happens. You're not unfamiliar with it," Xuan Yin replied with a hint of nervousness. She didn't want to let her husband know that she was struggling with the onset of heat, teetering on the edge of mating frenzy. If he found out, he might get too excited.
Maybe... it would be best if her master informed him, and then he could come to her on his own. She... she really didn't want to initiate the dual cultivation, as that would be too embarrassing.
Held in his arms, the little demoness's thoughts were consumed by the idea of dual cultivation, causing her to overlook her sly husband, sneaking around and doing some dirty things in secret, his hand quietly reaching towards her buttocks, when suddenly... a sweet and startled cry escaped those red lips and white teeth. The little demoness shuddered.
"You rascal!"
"Just back and already... starting this kind of harassment?" Xuan Yin was both embarrassed and annoyed, lifting her head to glare fiercely at him, then said in exasperation, "Lu Xun... you're getting more and more audacious. If you keep this up, you... can forget about having my body."
"Is that so?"
"To be honest, I'm not in a hurry, but wife, you..." Lu Xun leaned in close to her ear, his voice tempting, "Do you remember telling me that you can't hold back anymore?"
In an instant, the little demoness's face grew even redder, wishing she could find a hole to hide in.
"Let go!" Biting her own moistened lips, Xuan Yin exclaimed in frustration, "Get out of my room. Today... I don't want to see you again."
"Yes." Immortal Miao Feng replied calmly, "She... she's in a wooden house on the back mountain."
"The back mountain?" Lu Xun was taken aback and looked at the big demoness with confusion.
"The wooden house on the back mountain is specifically for Xuan Yin to endure the surge of yin for seven days." Immortal Miao Feng explained, "Xuan Yin had a yin outbreak two days ago. I temporarily sealed it with my cultivation, and it should have lasted a while. But when you returned today, the yin within Xuan Yin broke through my seal."
"Ah?"
"Doesn't that mean she's in danger now?" Lu Xun suddenly stood up, his face filled with worry.
"For now, it's not a big issue."
"At most, she's enduring a burning sensation." Immortal Miao Feng fell silent for a moment, then continued, "You... little scoundrel... I'm entrusting Xuan Yin to you. You must take good care of her."
"I will..."
"Definitely!" Lu Xun answered solemnly.
As the conversation ended, after a brief hesitation, he murmured, "So... should I go find her now?"
"Why ask me?"
"You're her husband. You decide for yourself." Immortal Miao Feng turned her face away, speaking calmly.
"Then I'll go find her. Xuan Yin needs me right now." Lu Xun headed directly towards the exit.
However, not long after leaving the room, he hurriedly returned.
"Sister."
"I had a lot I wanted to say to you, but... given the urgent situation, I'll cut to the chase." Lu Xun took out a delicate jade bracelet and gently placed it on the table next to her. He said, "I bought this specially for you. When I first saw it, I instantly thought... this jade bracelet suits you perfectly, Sister. So, I bought it."
Immortal Miao Feng looked at the jade bracelet with surprise. By the time the big demoness snapped back to reality, his figure had already vanished from the room.
Taking the bracelet in her hand, Immortal Miao Feng put it on her wrist with ease. She gazed at the simple jade bracelet, her expression flickering with a mix of emotions—touched and resigned.
"You little rogue..."
"You've got quite the cunning plan..."
...
...
There was a path to the back mountain. Lu Xun walked alone along this mountain path. After an unknown amount of time, he finally spotted a wooden house.
Arriving at the doorway, Lu Xun was about to push the door open when he suddenly heard a series of painful moans from inside, mixed with a hint of seductiveness. His heart skipped a beat.
It seems like she is in a lot of pain. My wife needs me right now!
With a gentle push, Lu Xun opened the wooden door.
