Chapter 126: Reading In The Warm Pool

Chapter 126: Reading In The Warm Pool

The room was silent, filled with a subtle tension in the air. The little demoness, Xuan Yin, tightly held a book in her hands, her gaze fixed on the nearby Lu Xun. He had already stripped down to just his underwear, standing there with a faint curve at the corner of his mouth.

What a lecherous smile.

Xuan Yin bit her lip, her cold and sultry face turning red as she scolded, "I came here to read, not to sleep with you. Why are you randomly taking off your clothes? Put them back on. You look awful."

Lu Xun smiled innocently and playfully, "My wife's thoughts, how could your husband not understand? You, little seductress, will beg for mercy later."

Xuan Yin frowned, her originally shy and tender demeanor replaced by a hint of contempt as she said indifferently, "Husband, you're quite arrogant. Do you remember who was crying and begging for mercy at my feet the other night? If I recall correctly, that person should be you, right?"

"..."

"A hero doesn't dwell on past acts of valor."

Lu Xun awkwardly smiled and then walked towards the little demoness, effortlessly lifting her up. He also noticed the mysterious book in her hand and asked in surprise, "Are you really here to read?"

"Otherwise?" Xuan Yin glared at him, her face blushing.

"Then, let me put you down first. After I finish getting dressed, I'll teach you how to read," Lu Xun said. Even a thick-skinned person like him felt a trace of embarrassment at this moment.

Xuan Yin rolled her eyes, circled her arms around his neck, and said playfully, "You've already undressed, and you've already held me. Don't abandon it halfway. Carry me over. Actually, this book is suitable for reading under the covers."

Tsk, tsk, you naughty little demoness!

Lu Xun looked at her with a playful smile and didn't say much. At the same time, the little demoness, who was being carried in his arms, turned shyly towards the inside of the room. Her cold and sultry face became even redder.

"Hurry up."

"Before you regret it, or else I'll really start reading," Xuan Yin urged him.

Lu Xun carried her curvaceous body hurriedly towards the inner room. He gently placed the blushing Xuan Yin on the bed, and she slipped skillfully under the covers. She left only half of her head exposed, and her beautiful eyes stared at him, filled with shyness.

"What's wrong?" Lu Xun asked.

"Normally, you're very eager," the little demoness asked curiously. "But tonight, you're acting unusual. Is it because you're a little tired of me?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Lu Xun retorted with a smile. "I haven't completely conquered you yet. Wait until one day I make you beg for mercy while in a half-snake form, moaning and crying for a thousand years, maybe then I'll get tired."

The little demoness playfully rolled her eyes at him, her face displaying a hint of shyness and anticipation. She coyly said, "Then, husband, you'll have to work hard. With your current cultivation at the Heaven Realm, to subdue me when I'm in snake form, you'll need to be at least one level higher."

"Now, I'm about to break through to the Mid-Innate Realm, so you'll have to reach the Innate Realm or higher," the little demoness curled her lips and curiously asked, "Husband, is there something wrong with you? Other people are terrified when they see a snake demon, and you not only aren't afraid but even want to..."

I want to learn this!

The little demoness lay on top of him, sneakily stealing glances at him from the corner of her eye. Seeing his keen interest and his joyful expression, she blushed and quickly buried her head in his embrace, mumbling, "Have you thought about what you want to practice first?"

"Dragons enjoy rain, but they're not creatures of the pond!" Lu Xun put down the secret manual in his hand and looked at the coy demoness in his arms. He said earnestly, "My wife, please follow me to the hot spring. We'll study there."

At the foot of the mountain, Lu Xun had already leaped into the hot spring. In contrast, the little demoness was hesitating and taking her time. At this moment, she could roughly guess Lu Xun's plan because she had read about it in the book.

"Come on, it's time to study. Don't you want to read?" Lu Xun grinned cheekily, urging the little demoness by the side.

"I think I'd better not," the little demoness suddenly became timid, stammering.

As a result, there was a ‘plop' sound, and the little demoness fell into the hot spring. Lu Xun didn't give her a chance to resist, immediately sealing her mouth, and she involuntarily clung to him.

"Husband," the little demoness looked at him with a complicated expression, her hands gently pressing against his chest. Then, she turned her head away and softly said, "I... I regret it. I want to go back."

Lu Xun smiled slightly, leaning close to her ear and mischievously said, "Don't worry, dear wife. With your husband here, there's nothing to be afraid of."

With that, they indulged in laughter and playfulness.

An hour later, the sky began to brighten.

Wearing a robe, the little demoness carefully tended to her husband, who had collapsed by the shore. Her cold and seductive appearance revealed a hint of laziness and happiness. The redness on her face had not dissipated and still looked charming and beautiful.

Lu Xun's exceptional courage was becoming increasingly difficult to estimate. There was a time when she could only maintain a slight advantage over him, but now he could fight her on equal footing even when she wasn't in her snake-transformed form. Although he still couldn't defeat her in the end, the evenly matched battle in between left a deep impression on her.

If this continued without a doubt, if she didn't transform into a snake, she might truly not be his match anymore. His progress was just too rapid.

"Sigh."

"Why do I like you?" The little demoness sighed, gazing affectionately at Lu Xun, "You're naughty, lewd, and cheap. Apart from being handsome and strong, you have no other virtues. Yet, you've captured my heart."

"Not only that... but also..." As she spoke, the annoyed little demoness pinched his arm in frustration and through gritted teeth, "I should just cut you down!"

Just as Xuan Yin muttered to herself, she heard light footsteps behind her. She turned to look and was surprised to see her master wearing a robe.

"Master?"

"Aren't you supposed to be asleep at this hour?" The little demoness asked in surprise.

Hearing her question, Immortal Miao Feng felt a sense of displeasure and bitterness; while you were spending the night with him, how could I get any sleep!
