There’s Something Wrong With These Demonic Women!

Chapter 47: I Hate You

"Master?"

"You're back."

Xuan Yin was about to go into Lu Xun's room to study when she unexpectedly ran into her Master, who had just finished bathing. She respectfully greeted her.

"Hm…"

"Are you going to his room to study?" Immortal Miao Feng looked at Xuan Yin and softly inquired.

A faint blush appeared on Xuan Yin's cold and alluring face. She stuttered, "More or less… Recently, I've made a little breakthrough in poetry. Lu Xun… Lu Xun is quite talented in teaching and studying and, um, he's also very attentive."

Immortal Miao Feng smiled slightly. She found this delicate and coquettish demeanor of Xuan Yin rather surprising. She pursed her lips and leisurely said, "It seems you and that little… you and Lu Xun get along quite well. In that case… you should proceed with dual cultivation with him."

"I… I…"

Seeing her Master bring up the topic again, Xuan Yin gently bit her moistened lips and murmured softly, "Master… I have my own sense of propriety. You… you don't need to worry about me."

"…"

"You little brat!"

"Now that you have a husband, you treat me like a plaything and casually cast me aside?" Immortal Miao Feng was nearly infuriated. She rolled her eyes and scolded with displeasure, "For these few centuries, your Master has doted on you in vain. I've taught you cultivation and the ways of the world, yet I receive this treatment in return."

"Master~"

Xuan Yin hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Immortal Miao Feng's arm, affectionately leaning against her. With a coquettish blush on her alluring face, she softly said, "How could I possibly be like that? Please… don't think too much."

"Hmph!"

"Don't try to act cute; I'm not falling for it."

Despite the firm words, ripples of emotions surged within Immortal Miao Feng. Gazing at Xuan Yin snuggled up to her, she sighed and said with a touch of emotion, "In the blink of an eye… you've grown so much. I remember when I first met you, you were just a small golden snake. Over the years, you've grown swiftly and become an arrow that shines with brilliance."

Xuan Yin looked up, staring at her in confusion, and curiously asked, "Master… what are you talking about?"

"Master is reminiscing about these four hundred years of time…"

Immortal Miao Feng patted her head gently and asked in a soft tone, "How is your study of ancient secret technique going?"

"Huh?"

"Well, you see…"

With a face red as a tomato, Xuan Yin lowered her head. She quickly let go of Immortal Miao Feng's arm.

"I'm going to study now… Rest early."

Leaving these words behind in a hurry, Xuan Yin ran towards Lu Xun's room without looking back. She pushed the door open and with a slam, closed it tightly behind her, leaving Immortal Miao Feng standing alone in the backyard, a faint smile on her face.

…

…

"Let's call it a day."

"My wife… I've noticed you're getting smarter."

Lu Xun tidied up the table, smiling brightly. "In the past, learning two poems was such a struggle… oh my, it was so difficult. You would forget the first line after learning the second. But now… it's clearly much better than before. It seems that within a hundred years… my wife could become the top scholar."

Hearing him praise her intelligence, the usually aloof little demoness felt quite pleased. She pursed her lips, a hint of pride and satisfaction in her gaze. Playfully and indignantly, she said, "Sweet words… all you know is how to say these things to deceive me. Do you think I'm a child who hasn't seen the world? Easily fooled by your words?"

"These are all sincere words."

Lu Xun grinned foolishly, packed up his writing materials, and placed them under the bed with his rear end raised.

"I don't believe you. Well… I'm going back first." Xuan Yin stood up, glanced at his raised butt, and murmured softly.

"Okay." Lu Xun absentmindedly responded and continued with his work.

The little demoness strolled to the door, gently opening it. Just as she was about to step out, she couldn't help but look back at him. She opened her mouth but spoke in a low voice, "Well… would you like to sit on the rooftop for a while? Keep me company to watch the stars?"

Lu Xun, who was in the midst of packing, was taken aback by the invitation from the little demoness. He froze, turned to look at her, a trace of confusion on his face.

"If you don't want to go, then forget it…"

Xuan Yin turned her head away, biting her lip tightly, muttering almost inaudibly, "Don't regret it later…"

"Let's go!"

"Definitely!"

Lu Xun gently said, "Will you wait until I finish packing?"

"Oh…"

Xuan Yin's face blushed and felt a bit feverish. A strange feeling surged within her. She herself didn't know why she suddenly invited him to sit on the rooftop. Perhaps she just wanted to spend some time alone with him.

…

The night was peaceful and quiet.

Between heaven and earth, there was such vast emptiness, and only the lonely moon gazed upon the silent land.

On the rooftop, Lu Xun and Xuan Yin sat on the ridge, though they were sitting close, they didn't press against each other. They both tilted their heads to gaze at the night sky above. A gentle breeze brushed against them, dissipating any restlessness they might have had.

"Have you ever had someone you loved before?"

Crossing her legs, Xuan Yin propped her elbows on her knees, resting her chin on her palms. Her alluring face held a hint of tenderness, and her eyes carried a touch of curiosity as she casually inquired.

"What's this about?"

"Is this a test for me?"

Hearing Xuan Yin's somewhat inexplicable question, Lu Xun chuckled softly, "If I say no, you'll probably think I'm lying. If I say yes, you might get upset. So, do you think I did or didn't?"

Xuan Yin pouted and said irritably, "Clearly, I'm the one asking you. Why are you turning the question back on me? Whether you liked someone or not, it's none of my business."

As her words fell, she shifted slightly away from him, intentionally creating some distance between them.

"My answer is no," Lu Xun said tenderly, "I used to lead a wandering and unsettled life. At that time, I only thought about how to survive. As for falling in love… it was a luxury I couldn't afford."

After speaking, Lu Xun moved closer to her, the two of them almost touching.

The little demoness noticed his movement but let him be, lightly biting her lip as she murmured, "Lu Xun… do you think… have I already fallen for you?"

"This…"

"It… It is all your fault!" Xuan Yin turned her body away, glaring at him with frustration. She complained in exasperation, "It's all your fault for barging into my life, for stirring my emotions, for pushing my boundaries time and time again. I hate you! I hate you so much! I hate…"

"Oh…" A sweet and tingling breath escaped Xuan Yin's lips.

At this moment, Lu Xun tightly embraced the aloof little demoness, gazing deeply into her enchanting phoenix eyes, at her captivating face. A faint suspicious blush appeared on the sides of her cheeks, and her glossy lips sparkled with a translucent luster, resembling a radiant ruby under the gentle moonlight.

In the dark night, on the rooftop.

Lu Xun held the cold little demoness in his arms, and their gazes locked onto each other.

A woman's belt seemed to have loosened slightly…
