There’s Something Wrong With These Demonic Women!

Chapter 53: Snake Baby Or Human Baby?

The little fox demoness turned her head with a look of disbelief, gazing at Xuan Yin incredulously, and even started to doubt her own ears.

"Sister… what did you just say?" The little fox asked in astonishment, her brows furrowed in an expression of disbelief. She lightly pursed her mouth and said, "You… you like that man? You're not teasing me, are you?"

"I… I…"

Xuan Yin nodded with a complicated expression on her face. A faint blush tinted her cold and charming countenance. She shyly and somewhat helplessly replied, "I do like him…"

The little fox, now confirmed once again, widened her eyes in shock, frozen like a log. She opened her mouth… but didn't know what to say. She simply couldn't comprehend how the usually aloof Xuan Yin could develop feelings for a man.

"Come in and let's talk…"

Xuan Yin pulled the dumbfounded little fox into the room, leading her to her own chamber, where they sat facing each other.

Seeing the dazed little fox, Xuan Yin sighed helplessly and said quietly, "His name is Lu Xun… Master encountered him outside and brought him here. As for Master's intention… it's for him and me to cultivate together."

Xuan Shi was taken aback and looked at her with confusion. She asked, "Why? Why would the Master do this?"

"You should be aware of my Yin constitution. It erupts once every hundred years. If I manage to endure it, it's fine. But if not, the consequences can be disastrous. In the past, I barely made it through with Master's help, but starting from this time… even our Master can't do anything."

Xuan Yin lightly pursed her lips and continued, "However, he possesses a pure yang body… if we cultivate together, it can suppress the Yin within me. Master's purpose is also for this reason. She wants me… to become his wife, and then… well…"

At this point, the little demoness blushed a little, her voice becoming somewhat hesitant as she said, "It's probably something like that."

"…"

"Sister?"

"Do you genuinely like him, or is it out of consideration for your Yin physique, that you're forced to like him?" The little fox earnestly inquired.

"I…"

"I…"

Xuan Yin also felt a bit overwhelmed. In truth, she didn't want to tell the little fox, but if she didn't explain to her, who knows what kind of tricks this girl might come up with. She couldn't help but lower her head, answering with a shy tone, "I initially despised him and even harbored thoughts of killing him. After all, being forced to cultivate with a stranger is something… anyone would find hard to accept."

"However…"

"During the time you were away, I spent a lot of time alone with him, including when Master asked me to take him to find the Heavenly Dao Diagram…" Xuan Yin bit her lip and continued in a soft voice, "Gradually, I developed a strange feeling towards him. At first, I didn't know it was called ‘liking.' I thought it might have been an early outbreak of the Yin energy, but later I realized… I actually… had feelings for him."

"This guy Lu Xun… he's a bit naughty and a bit flirtatious, and he's quite mischievous." Xuan Yin looked up and glanced at the little fox across from her, then continued, "He has a lot of flaws, but sometimes fate works in mysterious ways, making me fall for him."

"By the way…"

"He taught me how to read."

Xuan Yin hurriedly told the fox demoness, "I've learned a lot of poems recently and even mastered the art of writing with a brush."

The little fox pouted, starting to believe that Xuan Yin did indeed have feelings for that man. She could sense the affection in her words and actions… it was quite unbelievable. Considering that Xuan Yin had spent nearly four hundred years alone, she had fallen for someone like him.

"Sister…"

"Did you develop affection for him over time, or were you just lonely and happened to be in heat for him?" The little fox pouted, asking with a hint of annoyance, "I met him earlier, and I didn't think there was anything special about him. There are so many similar men in the world, why did you pick him?"

"It's definitely over time!"

Xuan Yin blushed, giving her an irritated look and said softly, "Stop talking about ‘heat.' It sounds so crude. As for why… why I started to like him, I don't really know. But being with him makes me happy."

As her words fell, the little demoness sighed, resting her elbow on the table and supporting her chin with her palm. With a broad-minded expression, she muttered to herself, "I never expected that I would end up liking him. He's so annoying, always full of questionable thoughts. Maybe this is what Master meant by destiny."

The little fox pouted her lips and hesitantly asked, "Sister… are you going to leave me and Master in the future?"

"Don't make wild assumptions."

"Why would I leave you and Master?" Xuan Yin reached out and gently held the little fox's hand, speaking softly, "I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay here forever."

"Is that so?"

A smile appeared on the little fox's mournful face as she looked at Xuan Yin's broad-mindedness. Curiously, she asked, "Sister… will you have a baby in the future? If you have a baby, will it be a little snake baby or human baby? Could it be a half-human and half-snake baby?"

"…"

"Why are you so annoying?"

Hearing the little fox's words, Xuan Yin felt embarrassed and helpless. She glared at her fiercely and said irritably, "Don't ask things you shouldn't."

"Just curious…"

The little fox pursed her lips, gazing at Xuan Yin and asked softly, "Sister… does he like you?"

"Well…"

"If he doesn't like me, I wouldn't like him either." Xuan Yin shrugged her shoulders, memories of Lu Xun's playfulness and sweet words flooding her mind. An inexplicable throbbing sensation ran through her body, and she whispered, "Lu Xun, this guy… may be bad, flirtatious, and even a bit mischievous, but I can feel… that he genuinely likes me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have fallen for him."

"Oh…"

"When will you two start cultivating together?" Xuan Shi stared at her intently, her brows knitted in curiosity.

"What does that have to do with you?" Xuan Yin snapped impatiently, "You're not allowed to ask these kinds of questions in the future, and don't mention anything about our private matters."

"Hmph!"

"Stingy!" Xuan Shi rolled her eyes, crossing her arms in a huff.

As the conversation came to a close, the little fox suddenly stood up, walked over to Xuan Yin, and sniffed her.

"What… what are you doing?" Xuan Yin furrowed her brows, puzzled.

The little fox raised her head, looking at Xuan Yin solemnly. She said seriously, "You smell strongly of that man, very strongly… super strong."

"Ah?"

"Well…"

A blush crept onto Xuan Yin's cheeks, rendering her momentarily speechless.

Suddenly, a knocking sound came from outside the room.

"My wife~"

"Can I come in?"

…
