Chapter 163: That Woman Named Su Is In A Hurry
Zhao Qiuyu began to suspect if Su Jingyi had encountered a man or a complicated romantic situation. She wondered if Su Jingyi was using this made-up friend to throw all her problems at her so that she could get the answers she sought.
Irritable and domineering? Acting aggressively? It didn't sound like Teacher Su. Although Teacher Su was quite terrifying, with a stern and emotionless demeanor every day, she had never been irritable. However, being domineering and unreasonable happened frequently around her.
"Teacher Su?"
"Is your old friend perhaps older in age? And has she endured loneliness and solitude, yearning and impulsive?" Zhao Qiuyu cautiously inquired.
The demoness? She was indeed quite old, well over a thousand years old. She had mentioned that she had never been with a man during these thousand years, presumably suffering from loneliness and solitude. As for the yearning and impulsiveness, right after I left, the demoness couldn't wait to throw herself into her lover's arms, which seemed to explain everything.
"Yes."
"More or less like that," Su Jingyi nodded thoughtfully and asked, "How did you know?"
Zhao Qiuyu smiled, softly replying, "I just guessed randomly, but there's also some basis for it. In general, in cases like your old friend's, it usually involves the woman pursuing the man relentlessly, so much so that she wants to give him everything, whether it's gold and silver treasures or even her own body."
Pursuing relentlessly? Giving everything?
How could that proud and self-confident demoness do such absurd things?
Su Jingyi asked calmly, "Qiuyu, do you have any evidence for this, or are you just making things up?"
"There are quite a few instances around me, Teacher Su. I can give you some examples." Zhao Qiuyu then proceeded to provide Su Jingyi with numerous examples from her surroundings, all of which involved mature women pursuing younger men. There were even stories of women in their sixties seeking a second chance at love, leaving Su Jingyi quite astonished.
"Teacher Su,"
"You might find this quite shocking, but in reality, seeking one's own happiness isn't wrong. Nowadays, there's a push for free marriages, as long as it doesn't violate the laws. People can do as they please," Zhao Qiuyu pursed her lips and said gently, "What do you think, Teacher Su?"
While it sounded reasonable, the situation with Miao Fengxian and her lover wasn't as simple as an older woman courting a younger man. Su Jingyi frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said quietly, "My old friend's situation is more complicated."
Zhao Qiuyu raised an eyebrow, her face showing a strong curiosity. She chirped, "Teacher Su, I'm willing to be your confidante."
"..."
"This matter... this matter involves the safety of the world. I can't reveal it casually," Su Jingyi still had her principles, shook her head silently, and said indifferently, "If I were to disclose that old friend, it would probably lead to a bloodbath and chaos in the world."
This wasn't an exaggeration. Miao Fengxian had warned sternly that if Lu Xun's identity was revealed, she would start a killing spree. Su Jingyi naturally wouldn't cross that line.
"??"
Lead to a bloodbath and chaos in the world?
Besides you, Teacher Su, the only one who could achieve that is the legendary thousand-year-old demoness Miao Fengxian. She's so terrifying that no one can tame her, and it's rumored she enjoys eating people, literally eating them.
"Oh."
"It's time to take the pill."
The big demoness propped herself up from the bed, obediently handing over a pill and placing it directly into his mouth. Her cheeks on both sides were burning, and there was a hint of spring in her brows.
A familiar scene, if I remember correctly, Xuan Yin also fed me like this.
Lu Xun swallowed the pill with a bitter smile on his face. While his cultivation increased a bit, his fatigue disappeared. His once hazy eyes regained their confidence, but facing those bright, desire-filled eyes, his straight posture immediately slouched again.
"Don't pretend!"
"Clearly, you're back to normal, but you act as if life is not worth living." The big demoness pinched his cheek with her hand, saying in annoyance. "You little thief, making me embarrassed."
Lu Xun forced a smile and hugged the charming demoness tightly in his arms. He spoke with deep meaning, "I just hate myself for having such low cultivation realm. Otherwise, I would definitely make Sister smile with joy."
"Hmph."
"Sweet talker."
Rolling her eyes, the demoness snuggled up to him, squirming until she found the most comfortable position. She whispered softly, "We're running out of the pills. There are fewer than a hundred left."
"Ah?"
"A hundred pills are not enough?" Lu Xun asked in confusion.
The big demoness lifted her head and looked at him with seductive eyes, coyly saying, "What do you think?"
Lu Xun laughed awkwardly and, to conceal his own embarrassment, quickly held her enchanting face and kissed her twice on her moist lips.
"What's wrong?"
"You actually want to run away?"
The demoness reached around and hugged the little thief's neck, climbing onto his body.
Aren't you too eager?
Facing the seventh realm demoness, with her terrifying cultivation, as well as a millennium of accumulated loneliness, Lu Xun had no room for resistance. She was like a sun that never set, and she was always at noon. The scorching sunlight could melt everything.
However, just when Lu Xun had accepted his fate, the impatient demoness suddenly stopped, her charming face filled with displeasure and helplessness.
"Sister?"
"What's going on?" Lu Xun, who had survived the ordeal, looked at the disgruntled Miao Fengxian, curious.
"That woman named Su is in a hurry," Miao Fengxian turned over, snuggled into his arms, and complained with a sulking tone. "She insists that I must hand you over to her today, or else she'll come to take you."
