Chapter 252: You've Won Them All Over?
Sleepy-eyed Miao Fengxian finally came to her senses, her expression full of reluctance.
Su Jingyi, observing the lingering reluctance of the demoness, couldn't help but feel annoyed. "We agreed on the rules beforehand: each of us spends two hours with him. Your two hours are up, now it's my turn for two."
"I know, no need to remind me." Miao Fengxian rolled her eyes, slowly sat up from the bed, looking at the soundly sleeping little thief. She felt helpless and frustrated but had no choice. She silently yielded her place to the detestable woman beside her.
Bending down slowly, Miao Fengxian kissed Lu Xun's forehead before getting off the bed directly. She looked at Su Jingyi, feeling extremely irritated.
Su Jingyi slipped into the sheets, still carrying Miao Fengxian's residual warmth. She turned to look at her, leisurely asking, "Why are you still here? Hurry and leave. There's no place for you now. By the way, close the door on your way out."
Miao Fengxian was so angry she felt like she'd burst. She stomped her foot in place, then turned and left. She had thought of slamming the door but considering Lu Xun's silent suffering, she restrained herself and closed it gently.
The room was pitch-black, filled with an air of silence. Su Jingyi hummed softly, "The annoying demoness has finally left."
As she turned to look at Lu Xun beside her, her cold face now exuded the tenderness of infatuation, her eyes filled with misty allure. Under normal circumstances, she would have embraced his neck and passionately kissed his lips, but now, she refrained, fearing she might worsen his injuries. Not only would she feel uncomfortable, but it would also give the demoness an excuse.
"It would have been nice if you were awake, Aunt Su could talk to you." Su Jingyi sighed, her delicate hand exploring his chest, feeling his strong muscles. Simultaneously, she cautiously touched those two fatal sword wounds, her heart clenching.
"Back then..."
"It must have hurt a lot, right?" Su Jingyi thought about that scene, feeling immense regret and sorrow.
Just as she was immersed in her pain, she heard his voice.
"Aunt Su."
"I actually didn't feel any pain."
This sudden statement surprised Su Jingyi. In the darkness, she looked at his blurry figure, her eyes unconsciously turning red. She bit her red lips and gently asked, "How did you wake up? Was it because of me and the demoness arguing?"
"No."
"I actually didn't sleep much." Lu Xun chuckled, "When Aunt Su came in, I was a bit surprised, thinking we were going to co-sleep. Then I wondered how the three of us could fit in this small bed. But Sister left, and you came in."
Su Jingyi rolled her eyes, scolding him without any patience, "You're so injured, yet you still put so much effort into this. You're already making all the men in the world jealous by having us take turns sleeping with you. But dreaming about sleeping together? Forget about it, it's never going to happen."
"Oh."
"Are you and her now...?"
Just as the conversation was getting to a crucial point, Su Jingyi gently covered his mouth.
"Don't mention her for now." She cautiously got closer, snugly beside him. Her slender and fair legs touched his, creating a different sensation. Su Jingyi grumbled, "You're being a bit biased, little scoundrel."
"... Aunt Su, are you talking about my t—uh, eloquence?" Lu Xun instantly guessed Su Jingyi's intention, responding politely but awkwardly, "Aunt Su, rest assured. Once I'm recovered, I'll ensure you're just as joyful as her."
"Hmph." Su Jingyi raised her eyebrows slightly and said softly, "I'll give you credit for having some conscience, but what I want isn't just that. I... I want to completely be with you."
"Huh?"
"This..." Lu Xun, with a hint of fear, cautiously said, "Even though I've recently broken through to the Early Innate Realm, but facing your Seventh Realm strength, I'm like an egg against a rock. A slight touch might shatter me to pieces."
After a pause, she continued, "Actually, you don't need to worry. Miao Fengxian and Su Jingyi have been fighting for twenty years. Apart from the first time when Miao Fengxian underestimated her, leading to Su Jingyi winning half the battle, the countless subsequent fights ended in a draw. So... this cycle is likely to continue."
"Being like this right now is still quite uncomfortable. They bicker every day, get jealous of each other, and engage in hidden rivalry." Lu Xun pursed his lips, saying helplessly, "I'm afraid they'll involve Xuan Yin."
"Aunt An!"
Lu Xun raised his head, looking at her with a pleading expression. He gazed at this prominent woman from the Western Regions and said with desperation, "Save me!"
"..."
"Call me Sister An!"
Angara frowned, irritated. "Why 'Aunt'? Do I look that old?"
"No, no."
"As long as it saves me, I'll call you anything, even godmother." Lu Xun was in a desperate situation, seeing Angara as his last straw for survival.
Angara sighed helplessly, pursed her lips, and said calmly, "I can't think of any good solutions either. Let's just leave it as it is for now and take it step by step."
As the conversation trailed off, she casually took out a spiritual mirror and tossed it beside Lu Xun, saying earnestly, "This is a spiritual mirror. You just need to—"
"Enough, don't say more."
Lu Xun then took out three mirrors, with a face full of black lines, "I already have three."
Angara widened her eyes, utterly astonished and even a bit incredulous. How could he have so many spiritual mirrors? Wasn't this thing rare? She had worked hard to acquire a pair, yet he casually took out three.
"You, you..."
Surprised, Angara asked, "How do you have so many?"
"It's a long story, let's not dwell on it."
Looking at the mirror the Western Regions woman gave him, Lu Xun felt relieved. This was a completely different style, avoiding confusion among the three of them.
Angara stared at Lu Xun lying on the bed, furrowing her brows. She silently murmured to herself that this seemingly ordinary young man seemed to carry many stories with him.
"Lu Xun."
"I have a question." Angara pursed her lips and asked with hidden meaning, "Since you've captured Miao Fengxian and Xuan Yin's affections, what about the little fox, Xuan Shi? Have you made a move on her?"
Faced with this question, Lu Xun wasn't willing to tell her. But considering that she might help him, he decided to be frank with her, also hoping she could solve the issue with the three demonesses at home.
"She's currently in love with me," Lu Xun replied.
"What?!"
Angara widened her eyes, utterly shocked. "You... you've won them all /collection/257029
