Chapter 104: Sister, I Knew You Would Come

Immortal Miao Feng gently chewed on the sweet and sour cake, a wave of sweetness flooding the deepest part of her heart. The sour date cake she had been eating for centuries had never been as sweet and delightful as today. Her entire being was almost overwhelmed by the sugary treat in her mouth.

As the big demoness swallowed the cake, Lu Xun once again offered her a fresh piece. She froze momentarily. She had only taken a bite before, so why was he giving her a whole piece? Where did the other half go?

... Did he eat it?

If he had thrown it away, it wouldn't have been a big deal. But if he had eaten it, then... this. She bit the part that had now entered his mouth. Wouldn't that be like an indirect kiss?

"I... I just ate half of it," the big demoness turned her head away, casting a cold glance at him from the corner of her eye, her voice tinged with suspicion.

"I'll eat the rest," Lu Xun answered truthfully.

As expected!

This... this shameless little thief!

Even though she had anticipated this outcome, when she heard him confess it himself, a sense of shame swept over her. Her cheeks flushed instantly, as if she were drunk, and her eyes showed confusion.

"Hehehe."

"I've noticed that the sour date cakes you've eaten taste even sweeter." Lu Xun leaned close to her ear, his voice gentle. "Sister, when will you let me taste yours... ahem."

Immortal Miao Feng's grip on Lu Xun's thigh tightened mercilessly. Her cultivation that had accumulated for a thousand years and her strength almost tore the flesh off his thigh. He begged for mercy in a bitter tone, "I was wrong, I was wrong. Don't pinch anymore, or I'll die."

"Hmph!"

Immortal Miao Feng snorted coldly, saying in a low voice. "Death would be best. It would save me from being bothered by you every day."This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

After speaking, she slightly parted her lips and gently bit off a piece of the cake. As she chewed, she warned the little thief beside her, "Throw the remaining half into the river. It's not allowed to enter your mouth."

Hearing her command, Lu Xun smacked his lips and threw the cake into his own mouth.

"You!"

Immortal Miao Feng was so furious that she felt like exploding, but despite her anger, she didn't take any action. She sat there, glaring at him with furious eyes, and then proceeded to ignore this shameless and absurd man. She was engrossed in admiring the bustling city under the night sky, all while enjoying the continuous supply of sour date cakes being handed to her.

The little thief might be a bit annoying, either causing trouble or just getting out of it, but... it couldn't be denied that he was truly gentle and considerate. The question was whether this gentleness was exclusively for her, or if it was something he shared with Xuan Yin.

Immortal Miao Feng's eyes gradually began to blur. Her thoughts ran wild, a storm of emotions swirling within her. In the midst of her heart's turmoil, there was a tinge of sourness and bitterness. She hoped that the gentleness of the little thief was meant for her alone. However, it was clear that he was sharing his tenderness and consideration with Xuan Yin as well.

He surely treats Xuan Yin more tenderly than me. I'm probably just a small fraction in his heart.

Suddenly, the big demoness felt a sense of irritation and a touch of reluctance. If it were based on the order of meeting, she had known him earlier than Xuan Yin, right? Yet, she couldn't help but blame this shameless little thief for all this. He had Xuan Yin and still came to flirt with her, and what's more, it worked.

It seems that the effects of the Calamity Fruit have become ineffective. Considering it, it's been over a thousand years; I should have developed feelings by now.

With this in mind, the big demoness licked her lips. If... if there was no little thief, would she be attracted to other men?

On this matter, the big demoness quickly found her answer. Besides this little thief by her side, she would never be attracted to any other man. She didn't even know why she was so certain, but the fact remained that he was special—by far the most exceptional man in the world.

Lu Xun's nerve seemed to have been touched as he retorted irritably, "Am I, the head of a family, supposed to fear her? Earlier, she was just upset with me. Once we get back, I'll educate her properly. You... feel free to continue."

"If that's the case... then I'll explain." The old boatman paused for a moment and said meaningfully, "Yangzhou city is a place of fireworks. Many officials, dignitaries, and scholars indulge themselves here. As a result, the legend of Yangzhou's Ten Great Courtesans emerged. Each of these courtesans possesses an appearance that is rarely seen in the world. I was fortunate enough to have seen the ninth-ranked courtesan. Tsk tsk, I haven't forgotten her appearance until now."

Humph. Can anyone be compared to the three women in my family?

Lu Xun wasn't arrogant, but in the world, there were probably very few women who could compare to the three women. After all, the three encompassed all facets of beauty: the mature allure of the big demoness, the youthful simplicity of the little demoness, and the adorable purity of the little fox. Essentially, they had no rivals.

"Oh."

"What's the price?" Lu Xun asked.

"Young Master, you're a bit crass. Matters of elegance and refinement cannot be measured with money." The old boatman chuckled and then replied seriously, "The cheapest one would still cost three thousand taels."

Three... three thousand taels?

Is this brothel run by the imperial court?

Over the following time, Lu Xun gained a comprehensive understanding of the local customs and culture in Yangzhou. He had to admit that the nightlife here was quite vibrant. However, despite its vibrancy, hidden dangers abounded. Leaving aside the masters who hailed from all corners of the world, there were countless officials and influential figures from the court present.

After bidding farewell to the old boatman, Lu Xun returned to the cabin. He had no interest in the so-called Ten Great Courtesans. At best, they were just that. How could they compare to the allure of the female demons in his family? After all, those courtesans wouldn't have forked tongues like his little demoness, nor would they have tails behind their butt. Such a prospect had no appeal.

At the same time, Immortal Miao Feng held the little fox in her arms. The corner of her eye surreptitiously glanced at Lu Xun, with a mix of warmth and anger.

Courtesans... what does the little thief want?

Immortal Miao Feng was well aware of Lu Xun's nature. He was innately fickle and flirtatious. What's more, he was audacious and bold. He wasn't just lusting after her body; he was even willing to act indecently right in front of the little fox. Such a person would undoubtedly sneak out in the middle of the night and indulge in pleasures.

No, no!

If left unattended, there would definitely be a strange woman lying on his body tonight.

The big demoness felt a hint of displeasure and bitterness. If it were Xuan Yin lying on him, Immortal Miao Feng would be slightly bitter at most, but there would be no complaints. However, if it were another woman, there would be a thousand reluctances.

It seems that tonight, I need to pay closer attention to his movements. I can't let him sneak out.

Back at the inn, the little fox went straight to bed, wearing only a small belly wrap and underpants. She quickly slipped into the covers and fell asleep after a while.

Immortal Miao Feng walked to the edge of the bed, carefully observed the little fox, and once she was sure she was truly asleep, she quietly left the guest room. After locking the door, she headed toward Lu Xun's room.

"Knock, knock, knock—"

Immortal Miao Feng rapped on the door and said coldly, "It's me."

In an instant, the door opened, and just as she was about to speak, Lu Xun suddenly seized her hand. Without any warning, the big demoness was embraced by him.

"I knew it."

"Sister, I was sure you would come!"

As he spoke, he lifted the bewildered big demoness and hastily made his way towards the bed.
