Chapter 255: Fleeting Beauty

A series of hurried footsteps echoed nearby, rapidly approaching the area. Before Lu Xun could react, a plump and graceful figure appeared by the warm poolside.

"Exactly as expected!"

"You shameless woman who dares to deceive me!"

The unexpected voice of Miao Fengxian, filled with seething emotions, startled Lu Xun to the core. He cautiously turned to see the demoness, brandishing a sharp sword, glaring fiercely at him and Su Jingyi. He felt overwhelmed by being caught red-handed in this compromising situation.

This is bad!

Miao Fengxian is coming over. Now I'm doomed. Even if the Great Luo Golden Immortal came, it wouldn't save me!

Lu Xun felt utterly panicked and fearful. The situation had spiraled completely out of control. He had no idea what to do other than feigning ignorance, but using the same tactic again would severely diminish its effectiveness.

Thinking about it, Lu Xun felt a chill down his spine. At the same time, a scene he had envisioned countless times flashed in his mind:

"I'm sorry, perhaps I arrived at the wrong time."

"No, you came at just the right time."

The current situation indicated that Miao Fengxian indeed arrived at the wrong time but also precisely at the right time.

"So what if I plotted against you?"

Facing the furious Miao Fengxian, Su Jingyi seemed utterly calm. In Lu Xun's embrace, she deliberately nudged herself closer to him, coyly saying, "You don't need to blame my little scoundrel; I was the one who actively seduced him, enticing him to bathe with me."

Ah—

Let me say thank you, because of you, warmth blossomed through the seasons!

Lu Xun was moved to the brink of tears. Aunt Su was clearly shouldering all the blame to save him from an awkward predicament. But how could he let her bear this burden alone? Was he still a man? How could he take up the responsibility of saving the world in the future?

Lu Xun took a deep breath, watching the demoness standing by the warm poolside, observing her furious expression. He was about to speak but was interrupted by Miao Fengxian.

"What do you mean your 'little scoundrel'? He's clearly my little thief!" Miao Fengxian glared fiercely at Su Jingyi, saying coldly, "Of course, I won't blame him. I know more about his habits than you."

Lu Xun realized that the situation wasn't as dire as he had imagined. There seemed to be a glimmer of hope.

"Let him go!"

"Otherwise, I'll cut you down." Miao Fengxian pointed her sword at Su Jingyi, icyly warning her.

Facing her threat, Su Jingyi was not afraid at all. Instead, she held Lu Xun's head tightly, kissing him passionately. Meanwhile, Lu Xun quickly raised his hands, signifying his innocence. He finally understood the current situation—he was just a pawn in their internal strife.

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. There was a time when Miao Fengxian treated Su Jingyi this way, and now, Su Jingyi was retaliating in kind. Watching her passionately kiss her little thief, Miao Fengxian was seething with anger and frustration. In the past, she might have attacked immediately, but now she was afraid that her sword would once again pierce Lu Xun's chest. The first time was bad enough; if it happened a second time, she would loathe herself!

"That's what I deserve. He's someone I found, and you! You just latched onto me," Miao Fengxian said coldly, "Shameless!"

"He was just acting for you, which made him unhappy. That's called shameless. My appearance filled the emptiness and loneliness in his heart. Do you understand?" Su Jingyi raised her eyebrows and spoke softly.

As she finished, she casually added, "Why are you still here? Why not go find him?"

"What's that got to do with you?" Miao Fengxian rolled her eyes at the woman, silently untied her skirt, revealing a figure as enchanting as Fairy Su's, and gracefully entered the warm pool, keeping a considerable distance from her.

Su Jingyi didn't seem surprised. She looked at the demoness not far away, slowly closed her eyes, and slightly opened her mouth, "My little scoundrel is quite adept at smooth talking."

"He's mine!"

"My little thief!" Miao Fengxian corrected Su Jingyi's mistake and silently said, "It wasn't so good at the beginning. Later, his continuous progress led to his current peak state. Speaking of which, it's all my credit, and you just cling to me."

"Thank you," Su Jingyi said lightly.

In this small warm pool, two of the only Seventh Realm experts in the world squeezed in. At this moment, they were both silent about a certain matter, mutually accepting without asking or hearing, yet somewhat calculating.

Of course, peace was only temporary, while disputes were eternal.

"I will definitely kill you," Miao Fengxian said softly.

"So will I," Su Jingyi responded indifferently.

...

Lu Xun sat alone on the rooftop, looking up at the starry sky above, feeling unusually confused.

He was supposed to be an outstanding transmigrator. According to the conventional framework of a transmigrator, even if he didn't go through challenges, he would at least progress gradually. How come he ended up feeling like saying, "Auntie, I don't want to try hard" from start to finish?

But then again, it can be said that with both the fairy and the demoness, he's already reached the pinnacle of the world. The process of the former was a bit bumpy and tortuous, while the process of the latter was smooth sailing.

"Ah."

"It's hard to tell my feelings to others, only the moon and stars know," Lu Xun muttered, looking at the bright moon overhead.

At that moment, Miao Fengxian and Su Jingyi, wearing loose sleeping robes, stood not far behind him. When they heard the lonely and desolate words of the young man, they felt uncomfortable. They looked at each other and silently reached a temporary agreement.

They slowly walked to his side and sat down, leaning on his shoulders—one on the left and one on the right.

Lu Xun couldn't help but be stunned, not saying a word, but carefully embraced their slender waists. He knew in his heart that the present beauty was short-lived. Cherishing each second, perhaps there would be a fight again by tomorrow morning.

At the same time, Angara was hastily approaching. She was a bit impatient, eager to see Lu Xun bruised and swollen. In her imagination, there was no room for maneuver in this situation of catching someone in the act. There was only one outcome: being beaten to a bruised and swollen state.

As she approached her residence, Angara quickened her steps. However, when she raised her head and suddenly saw the scene on the rooftop, she was completely /collection/257029
