Chapter 153: Is It Worth It For A Man
Hearing Immortal Miao Feng's words, Su Jingyi narrowed her eyes and said calmly, "I've noticed that you're overly protective and often suspicious of things that are impossible to happen. Your thoughts have changed. You've become somewhat indecisive, unlike your past resolute self."
"He's passionate by nature, powerless against seductive women. If I don't protect him, what if he gets ensnared by you? What would I do then?" Immortal Miao Feng said irritably. "Don't talk about these groundless things. In any case, this matter is impossible."
She continued coldly, "Even with dragon energy protection, it doesn't mean that alchemist is invincible. We can still kill him forcefully. At most, we'll lose some cultivation. Even if I lose some, it won't make me much weaker. That imperial alchemist, I will kill him personally, no need for your concern."
"Although the imperial alchemist hasn't reached the seventh realm, he's right on the cusp of it. With various esoteric arts and the assistance of certain elixirs, he has now acquired a trace of dragon energy," Su Jingyi pursed her lips and continued, "I know you can definitely kill him, but it will come at a significant cost."
"In that case..."
"I'm even less inclined to let him go," Immortal Miao Feng said softly.
Su Jingyi furrowed her brow tightly and irritably said, "Why haven't you understood what I meant? What I mean is—"
"I know," Immortal Miao Feng calmly interrupted. "Maybe if I say it, you won't believe me. I'd rather get injured myself than see him harmed in the slightest. If something happens to him, I'll go on a killing spree. By then, don't try to stop me."
Su Jingyi couldn't help but sigh, feeling quite helpless. She said with a touch of distress, "Do you still remember the two conditions your lover owes me?"
"Hmph."
"Are you trying to threaten me with this?" Immortal Miao Feng raised an eyebrow, speaking disdainfully. "If I don't agree, what can you do to me? There's no room for negotiation in this matter."
Having lived for over a thousand years, how could she be so stubborn?
Su Jingyi was momentarily at a loss and said with distress, "In any case, you should consider it. I can temporarily suppress this matter, but it won't be for long. If you insist on going to kill, I won't stop you, but you must think it through."
Immortal Miao Feng remained silent, standing there quietly and gazing at the mountains and peaks before her.
For a moment, there was a pervasive sense of silence in the air, and neither of them spoke.
"What realm is needed for success?" Immortal Miao Feng asked.
"His realm is sufficient; he can win with skill alone. The chief imperial alchemist excels in alchemy and esoteric arts but is weak in other aspects. Even though he is at the threshold of the seventh realm, at most, he's a low-level Innate in close combat." Su Jingyi paused for a moment and continued, "Let him stay with me for a few days, and I'll teach him how to deal with the imperial alchemist."
What!
Definitely not!
Immortal Miao Feng resisted vehemently, her face filled with refusal. "No, absolutely not. You're trying to make him stay with you for a few days. I'm afraid that alchemist won't be killed in the end, but you two will kindle the flames of love. No, no, I certainly won't agree. My little thief has no resistance to mature and beautiful women like you. He'll instantly succumb. Besides, I'm afraid you'll succumb too."
Su Jingyi rolled her eyes in exasperation and said with annoyance, "All the women in the world have succumbed, but I, Su Jingyi, will not. I've figured it out. You lack self-confidence, and deep down, you fear me. You're afraid of me, which is why you're like this. It's also true that I'm more beautiful than you and curvier."
"You're talking nonsense!" Immortal Miao Feng was like a cat with its tail stepped on, instantly ruffled. But she was ultimately a thousand-year-old demoness, and she quickly realized that she had been tricked. She smiled faintly and casually said, "It's true that I lack self-confidence and genuinely fear you. So what? Is there a problem?"
"Miao! Feng!"
"Don't you understand your own good!" Su Jingyi glared at her fiercely and coldly said, "Is it worth it to act like this for a mere man?"
"Of course."
Immortal Miao Feng shrugged, responding casually, "You don't understand love."
"..."
"Love."
The little fox didn't say anything. She compared their bodies secretly and realized she was inferior. She felt a bit dejected for a moment, no wonder the big bad guy wasn't interested in me. Everyone likes this, let alone him.
"Where's Lu Xun?" Xuan Yin asked.
"Master is talking to him. It's a very serious and frightening conversation. I sensed trouble and slipped away," the little fox pouted, looking worried. "Sister, do I still have a chance to grow taller? And maybe make my butt and chest a bit bigger, like yours and Master's?"
"I don't know. Maybe there's still a chance."
While they were talking, Xuan Yin suddenly noticed something unusual about the little fox. She asked in astonishment, "Do you have three tails now?"
"Yeah!"
"Master gave me a pill, and then I broke through to the Late Heaven Realm. But I have to go into seclusion tomorrow to consolidate my foundation," the little fox pouted and complained, nestled in Xuan Yin's bosom. "Master is definitely targeting me. She can't stand to see me resting."
This girl...
Clearly, Master cares about you so much, but you think she's targeting you now.
"Alright, alright." Xuan Yin rubbed her head gently and said softly, "Master cares about you much more than me. You should be content."
The little fox pouted but didn't say anything. She snuggled up in Xuan Yin's embrace, smelling the scent of the big bad guy all around her. Some naughty thoughts crossed her mind, and her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
Hmph.
Someday, I'll experience it too.
The little fox raised her head, looking directly at her with curious eyes, and asked, "Sister, can I ask a question?"
"Hmm? What question?" Xuan Yin asked.
"What's so interesting about it?" the little fox asked curiously.
Uh, how do I answer this?
Xuan Yin bit her lip, blushing, and said shyly, "You'll understand naturally when you have someone you like."
"Oh." The little fox didn't get the answer she wanted, feeling a little disappointed. But she wasn't discouraged. She thought that the answer must be very, very interesting. It was a pity that only her big sister Xuan Yin could experience it for now.
Thinking about this, the little fox felt indignant. Clearly, we both like the same man, but the experiences are so different. My big sister is happy every day, while I'm just brooding alone, feeling lonely in body and mind.
"Sister?"
"What are these marks all over your body...?"
Before the little fox could finish her sentence, the little demoness interrupted her.
"Don't ask! If you ask, you won't know."
At the same time, after listening to Immortal Miao Feng's words, Lu Xun suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with astonishment, surprise, and a hint of anxiety.
"You want me to kill a half-step seventh realm alchemist?" Lu Xun was drenched in sweat, feeling embarrassed. "Isn't this the same as seeking death?"
"Although he's a half-step seventh realm, in close combat, he's no different from an early-Innate Realm cultivator. As long as you master the right techniques, that half-step seventh realm alchemist is no match for you," Immortal Miao Feng waved her hand and said with earnestness, "This matter doesn't need to be rushed. I'll teach you slowly until you have full confidence."
Lu Xun pursed his lips; Ah, life is tough!
