Chapter 105: Where Should I Sleep
Unprepared, Immortal Miao Feng was pulled into Lu Xun's embrace. She was still in a state of shock, her mind empty. Suddenly, she was lifted horizontally by him, leaving her bewildered and even stripped of basic resistance.
However, having lived for thousands of years, Immortal Miao Feng quickly snapped out of her daze. She looked at the shamelessly excited Lu Xun, his demeanor excited and thrilled. A profound wave of shame coursed through her, intensifying the warmth in her cheeks, scorching them with a fiery intensity.
Breaking free from his embrace abruptly, Immortal Miao Feng glared at him, her face red. She then delivered a resounding slap to his face.
"Smack—"
The big demoness breathed heavily, her chest heaving irregularly. She said annoyed and embarrassed, "Lu Xun, you've become quite daring, haven't you? How dare you use force on me?"
Lu Xun, dumbfounded by the unexpected slap, stood there in a daze. He looked at the red-faced big demoness before him and soon regained his senses. He awkwardly explained, "....It's a misunderstanding. I just wanted to take you to experience my bed, nothing else."
Experience... your bed? After experiencing it, are you planning on sleeping with me?
Immortal Miao Feng clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth. "Do you take me for a child? What's with taking me to your bed? Are you planning to sleep with me after the ‘experience'? And then...?"
As she spoke, her words came to an abrupt halt. Her cheeks grew even redder, and she turned her head slightly, letting her hair cover her face, concealing her embarrassed expression, "You're getting more and more audacious with me, and your behavior is getting more and more improper. I, Immortal Miao Feng, am the number one existence in the world. Yet, I've been humiliated by you, this little thief."
"Wasn't it supposed to be the second best in the world? The number one is Su Jingyi," Lu Xun kindly reminded her.
As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if the big demoness had her tail stepped upon. She glared at the man in front of her with intense rage, angrily saying, "In our last battle, I was just careless. I only lost to her by half a move. If I gave it my all, it's still uncertain who would win."
"And also!"
"Don't mention the name ‘Su Jingyi' in front of me, or don't blame me for being impolite." Immortal Miao Feng bit her lip, her anger evident. "Did you hear me?"
Sigh... Why do women make things difficult for women...
Lu Xun sensed her discontent towards Su Jingyi from her words. She held a grudge from losing twenty years ago. Upon reflection, it was understandable. After being invincible for a thousand years, being suddenly defeated was difficult to accept in a short period of time, unless she could defeat her opponent.
"I understand."
Lu Xun whispered, "Sister, let's consider the situation from a different angle. For instance, you have someone as great as me, while she didn't manage to have me. Isn't this also a kind of victory for you?"
Hmph!
You haven't seen her, so, of course, you're not interested in her. But if you were to meet her, would you still be so indifferent?
Immortal Miao Feng was certain that if Lu Xun were to meet Su Jingyi, given his nature, he would undoubtedly be captivated. After all, Su Jingyi's appearance was on par with hers, and her figure even rivaled her own. As for what Su Jingyi might think...
Although she kept claiming that there were no good men in the world and that none were worthy of stirring her emotions, Immortal Miao Feng once felt the same way until she encountered the little thief. There was a time when she was just like that, but now she was deeply entangled in these emotions. If she were to meet her own little thief, she might fall into the same trap.
"Slick talker," Immortal Miao Feng raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "I'm asking you about inquiring about the courtesans on the boat. What was your intention?"
"Courtesans?"
Lu Xun was momentarily stunned but quickly regained his composure, smiling casually. "Sister seems quite nervous. Could it be that you're worried I'll go out at night to meet courtesans?"
"I'm keeping an eye on you for Xuan Yin." Immortal Miao Feng rolled her eyes at him, answering curtly, "Don't beat around the bush. Answer honestly. What was your intention in inquiring about courtesans?"
"Just curious."The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñòv€l-B1n.
Raising her fair hand, she pinched a silk ribbon around her waist, and with a gentle tug, the sides of her clothes suddenly loosened. The verdant, dainty bellyband playfully clung to her skin. Next, her alluring shoulders were exposed, and her clothing fell to the ground.
The warm water barely covered her exquisite figure, and an immensely satisfying feeling enveloped her skin, washing away all traces of weariness.
The big demoness leaned against the bathtub, her head above the water's surface. With her eyes closed, a gentle smile formed on her lips as she reveled in the sensation.
Speaking of which, what would happen if he barged in now, intending to share the bath with me?
With her eyes shut, a faint smile appeared at the corners of her mouth. It seemed she might have encountered such a situation before—last time he had pulled her into the warm pool, forcing them to take a bath together. And to make matters worse, he had also been in the pool with Xuan Yin.
"Damn little thief!"
"Moreover, Xuan Yin is really something. Even if he used his charm on her, it shouldn't be to this extent, right?" The big demoness bit her lip, muttering almost inaudibly. "I can't just let him humiliate me like this."
Time passed, but she wasn't sure how long.
Immortal Miao Feng emerged from the bathtub, her body glistening with moisture. With a simple wave of her hand, her bellyband and undergarments dried instantly. Her attire followed suit. She strolled into the bedroom, gazing at the little fox sprawled leisurely on the bed, rendering her momentarily speechless.
"Sigh."
"Still so unruly."
Recalling the past when she used to cuddle with the little fox in her own bed, Immortal Miao Feng's face was filled with tenderness and warmth. She bent down, adjusting the little fox's position, tucking her under the blanket before lying down herself. Gently, she brought the small fox into her embrace.
When it came to Xuan Yin and Xuan Shi, Immortal Miao Feng was actually more concerned about Xuan Shi. Generally, she would be more lenient with her, only resorting to force if things were truly unbearable. But of course, once she did resort to force, it wouldn't be a matter of a light scuffle.
Gradually, the big demoness slipped into slumber. In her dream, just as she saw Lu Xun, a sudden slap struck her face.
"Snap—"
The crisp sound resonated in the quiet room.
The big demoness opened her eyes in a snap, staring blankly at Xuan Shi. Her expression was of exasperation and helplessness.
However, this was only the beginning.
From kicking the blankets to biting, from chewing on pillows to even wagging two tails about, Immortal Miao Feng was driven to the brink of madness by the little fox's antics.
Leaving the bed, the big demoness stood by its edge, looking at the little fox atop it, her emotions bordering on collapse.
This wasn't how she used to be when she was younger. Why had she suddenly become so restless?
"Forget about this bed."
"Then where should I sleep tonight?"
...
Lu Xun was sitting cross-legged on the bed. Apart from a few nights, he rarely slept.
The spacious guest room was filled with silence. A solitary candle burned, casting a faint glow onto Lu Xun's face. Half of his face was tinted in shades of orange, while the other half remained in shadow.
At this moment, the door creaked open.
