Chapter 101: Going Down The Mountain
Chapter 101: Going Down The Mountain
In the courtyard, Xuan Shi, the little fox, was blushing furiously sprawled atop someone. The two furry tails behind her butt were swaying non-stop. From a certain angle, the little fox seemed unusually excited.
"Big villain, you… you…" The little fox complained breathlessly. She had become completely limp, and only a trace of resentment towards Lu Xun remained in her eyes.
"Who told you to come up and swing punches without any reason?" Lu Xun looked at the little fox lying on him. The rich fragrance emanating from her was overwhelming and brought forth various thoughts. He hurriedly cleared his throat and said gently, "Alright, alright. Get up quickly. If your master sees us like this later, it'll be hard to explain."
"Master, she…."
"She won't wake up at this hour." Despite hearing that, the little fox remained motionless. She mumbled, "Even if she sees us… it doesn't matter. After all, it's not my fault. Not only did you see my body, but you also touched my tail. Unless I kill you with a single sword, I'm stuck with you."
Pausing slightly, Xuan Shi pouted and said in a cutesy tone, "If I kill you, Sister Xuan Yin will be sad. But if I don't kill you, how can I face the world? I'll only have to compromise and become your little fox."
".."
"You're really enduring a lot." Lu Xun smiled angrily.
"Yeah…"
"Enduring isn't really the right word."
Blushing, the little fox said with a coquettish tone, "You cook meat for me, tell me stories, and take me down the mountain to play. Anyway, there are quite a few good points. Of course, there are many flaws too. Well, it doesn't matter. Things have come to this point, and I can only accept you."
With these words, the little fox lifted her head, and her watery eyes gazed at him directly. She asked softly, "Lu Xun, do you like me?"
Lu Xun smiled, raised his hand to touch her little head, and said earnestly, "I do, I do. But you should get off first. You're almost crushing me."
Hearing him say that he liked her, the little fox felt sweet inside. However, she was discontent with the latter part of his sentence. Pouting her little mouth, she retorted with a huff, "I'm much lighter than Sister Xuan Yin. When she's on top of you, why didn't I hear you complain about being crushed?"
"Ah?"
Lu Xun was momentarily stunned and embarrassedly said, "Don't make things up."
"What am I making up?"
"I've seen it before. In the small cabin on the back mountain, Sister Xuan Yin was jumping around." The more the little fox talked, the more embarrassed she got. Her cheeks on both sides turned burning red. She stammered, "At that time, Sister Xuan Yin was crying, scolding, and acting crazily. I didn't see you object. Now it's my turn, and… it's just like that."
Huh…
Something felt off. How did things suddenly turn in the direction of a little jealousy?
Lu Xun looked at the blushing yet stubborn little fox, and his heart began to panic gradually. Fooling around was one thing, but Xuan Yn's rules were rules, and he could only have her as his wife for now. She was full of possessiveness, and now the little fox had started to compare, and the jealousy meter was off the charts.
This is not good. It's probably going to turn into a battleground in the future, and there's also the big demoness….
"What's wrong with you?"
"Why are you trembling all over?" The little fox noticed Lu Xun's peculiar behavior and asked with a puzzled expression.
"It's nothing."
Lu Xun came back to his senses and touched her little head gently. He said softly, "Alright, alright. Stop fooling around and get down quickly."
The little fox nodded and obediently got off him. She stood beside him, shaking her two tails while asking in a hushed voice, "Are we going down the mountain tomorrow?"
"Yes."
Lu Xun responded and continued, "I'm thinking about how to go."
"Why even think about it? Of course, we'll go on Master's flying sword. Do you expect me to carry both of you?" The little fox pouted, her cute face showing reluctance, and she mumbled, "I'm willing to carry you, but… but since Master is going too, then… of course, we should take the flying sword."
"That works." Lu Xun agreed directly without much thought.
In truth, he also wanted to ride the big demoness's flying sword deep down. After all, he had experienced what it felt like to be carried by the little fox and almost got thrown off.
After chatting in the hall for a while, they stopped as soon as the big demoness arrived.
"Master."
"We are going down the mountain tomorrow. We'll be taking your flying sword," the little fox hurriedly ran to Immortal Miao Feng's side, hugging her arm and softly pleading, "Today, please, please don't make me practice swordsmanship again."
Immortal Miao Feng patted her little head and said helplessly, "Every day, all you know is to slack off. At your age, I had already entered the Late Heaven Realm. Yet, you're still struggling in the Mid Heaven Realm, without any signs of breakthrough."
"With you protecting me, why bother cultivating?" The little fox playfully stuck out her tongue at her and then quickly buttered her up before slipping away, wiggling her butt.
".."
"You naughty girl."
"Being so playful, how will you become accomplished in the future?" Immortal Miao Feng rolled her eyes and then shifted her gaze to the little thief, saying coldly, "Don't be lazy. When we return, follow me to seize the Heavenly Dao Diagram."
"Just the two of us?" Lu Xun curiously asked.
"Xuan Yin has just been through a life-and-death situation and needs time to recover. It's not suitable for her to move around," Immortal Miao Feng explained. "Just you and me."
"Alright, alright."
Lu Xun smiled and said seriously, "I won't drag you down, Sister!"
Immortal Miao Feng found his smile a bit mischievous, as if he was holding back something bad. She said lightly, "You just need to block the attacks for me."
"Block?"
"Block attacks?"
"So, I'm your meat shield?" Lu Xun opened his mouth wide and said with a wry smile, "Sister, I'm Xuan Yin's husband, and I'll be your husband in the future. How did you start plotting to kill your own husband?"
"Tch!"
Shameless little thief!
Immortal Miao Feng glared at him and said angrily, "If you talk nonsense again, I… I'll chop you!"
She calmed her breath and said coldly, "Now isn't the time for me to inform you. In any case, I have my own arrangements."
Seeing that the big demoness didn't want to elaborate further, Lu Xun didn't press on. It was probably a situation of chaos and killing, where he would handle the chaotic part while the big demoness would take care of the killing.
"There's something."
"We'll be going outside tomorrow, but what about the demonic energy on you and the little fox?" Lu Xun asked.
"I have my ways. You don't need to worry about it." Immortal Miao Feng said casually.
Looking at her indifferent appearance, Lu Xun couldn't help but feel deeply emotional. Just last night, they were having a heartfelt talk under the moonlight, and this morning, she had put on a completely unfamiliar face.
Women are hard enough to understand, and demonic women are even more difficult.
The time came to the early morning of the next day.
The little fox woke up full of enthusiasm. After dressing in her clothes, she hurriedly ran out of the house and arrived at Lu Xun's door. She tried pushing it and found it wasn't locked. Seizing the opportunity, she entered directly but quickly came out, disappointed.
She walked quickly toward the courtyard and indeed saw him practicing swordsmanship there. She urgently asked, "Bad guy, when are we leaving?"
"I'm ready, and we're only waiting for your master." Lu Xun put away his sword and looked at the little fox today. There was still no change; she remained just as cute and delicate. But that was just her appearance. Who could have thought that such a petite little girl could eat as much as ten cows in one sitting?
".."
"Oh."
Although the little fox was excited, she didn't dare wake up Immortal Miao Feng; she might get scolded.
Silently returning to the hall, the little fox jumped onto a chair, swaying her two short legs and watching Lu Xun practice swordsmanship. Her thoughts began to overflow with each of his sword swings, and gradually, her cheeks turned red.
After who knows how long…
Immortal Miao Feng slowly and leisurely arrived in the hall. The little fox, who saw her arriving, hurriedly rushed over, hugging her arm and gazing at her with big watery eyes.
"Master."
"We're about to set off," the little fox looked at her pitifully. Her two tails, which had poked out from behind, were drooping.
Faced with the impatient little fox who wanted to leave the mountain, Immortal Miao Feng was a bit amused and exasperated. She glared at her without a good temper and said softly, "If you were this enthusiastic about cultivating, your master would be able to wake up laughing from her dreams."
"Oh, it's different." The little fox pouted, coquettishly saying, "Master, let's go."
Finally, under Xuan Shi's persistence, they were finally setting off.
Immortal Miao Feng summoned her flying sword, lightly stepping onto it. She then held Xuan Shi's hand and lifted her up. Taking a piece of cloth from her sleeve, she gently covered the little fox's eyes.
"Master will hold you. Just don't move around," Immortal Miao Feng said gently.
"Mhm." The little fox obediently nodded and stood at the front of the flying sword, being held in her Master's embrace.
"What about me?" Lu Xun stood nearby and asked wryly.
"Isn't there a place for you here?" Immortal Miao Feng lightly tapped the sword hilt with her toe.
"Just…"
"Just this little space?"
Lu Xun looked at the palm-sized area and found it a bit hard to accept for a moment. However, there was only this much space, considering that the big demoness and the little fox were standing in front.
"Alright, alright."
"That's enough for me."
With that said, Lu Xun jumped onto the sword hilt and then embraced the big demoness from behind.
Ah—
This… this damn little troublemaker!
Immortal Miao Feng hadn't expected him to be so bold. Right in front of the little fox, he actually… embraced her.
Although the little fox's eyes were covered, she still felt a sense of embarrassment.
"Master?"
"Why haven't we taken off yet?" The little fox urged.
"We're flying now."
Immortal Miao Feng was panting slightly, feeling his solid and strong chest against her back. Amidst a mixture of fear and surprise, there was also an indescribable warmth and comfort.
Xuan Yin's preference for lying on him really made sense. I… I really like it too.
