There’s Something Wrong With These Demonic Women!

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."

"In that case, I won't ask anymore." Zhao Qiuyu obediently nodded, gazing at Su Jingyi somewhat blankly. She mustered the courage to ask, "Teacher Su, if one day in the future, you suddenly meet a man you like, how would you choose?"

A man I like? What kind of man would I like? I don't even know that myself. Su Jingyi pursed her lips and said lightly, "That won't happen."

Zhao Qiuyu shrank her neck and said timidly, "If I meet a man I like, I would definitely take the initiative to approach him, wanting to be with him every day. Even if I have to give up my princess status, I would."

As she spoke, Zhao Qiuyu cupped her cheeks with her hands, looking dreamy, "The man in my mind must be handsome and charming, able to make me happy and care for me meticulously. When I'm thirsty, he would bring me water, when I'm cold, he would put a coat around me, and when I'm tired, he would offer his shoulder for me to lean on."

"You'll meet someone like that eventually," Su Jingyi said calmly, sipping from her teacup and adding, "If you find the palace boring, you can go out for a walk."

Hearing Teacher Su's words, Zhao Qiuyu widened her eyes for a moment but quickly lowered them, saying helplessly, "Forget it. Born in this place, I'm ultimately a caged bird with clipped wings. Even if I were released from the cage, I wouldn't be able to fly."

"The world won't always be to your liking. Have you ever thought that your current situation, which you see as unfortunate, might be what others dream of?" Su Jingyi said coldly. "Don't complain so much."

With her head lowered, Zhao Qiuyu sat there quietly, not daring to make a sound or move. She seemed like a child being scolded.

Su Jingyi glanced at the silent Zhao Qiuyu, knowing that her words had been a bit too harsh. She sighed softly and said, "I was a bit harsh earlier. What I meant was not to get so downhearted. Try to take things in stride."

"Teacher Su, I understand," Zhao Qiuyu lifted her head and smiled sweetly at her, her voice tender. "I'm not that fragile."

Su Jingyi found some comfort in that beautiful smile. She then stood up, saying lightly, "If anyone besides Yueyan comes looking for you, make sure to inform me in advance, including your father."

Although puzzled, Zhao Qiuyu nodded and escorted Su Jingyi to the palace's entrance. When her figure disappeared from view, Zhao Qiuyu returned to her own residence, sitting there with a puzzled expression, contemplating a question.

Today, Teacher Su seemed a bit strange. Is she hiding something from me? It feels like all the things we talked about were just a prelude to something related to love.

After much thought, Zhao Qiuyu arrived at two conclusions. The first was that she might have overthought things, and the second was that Teacher Su might have encountered a man, a man who left her perplexed and made her actively seek to understand what love truly meant.

If that were truly the case…

Then Teacher Su is in danger! The deeper the curiosity, the deeper the entanglement, and the deeper the entanglement, the more likely she will end up giving herself away for nothing.

"Is that even possible?"

"Teacher Su's cultivation is so high, to the point where any man in the world would feel inferior standing before her." Zhao Qiuyu muttered to herself, her lips pursed. "Not to mention winning her heart,"

This shouldn't be possible.

"Probably, I'm overthinking it," Zhao Qiuyu pouted, cupping her flushed cheeks in embarrassment. "I can't believe I even thought she might give herself away."

Teacher Su must not find out about this, or I'll be scolded again.

…

It was another day and night of desperation, and Lu Xun didn't know how he had survived. In any case, as soon as he caught his breath, he was pushed into the bed again. In short, it was a case of quick thinking, eloquence, wailing like a ghost and howling like a wolf, earth-shaking, hanging by a thread, and escaping from death. It's really good to be alive.

"Little thief?"

"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."
