There’s Something Wrong With These Demonic Women!

Chapter 59: Curious Little Fox

The little fox tossed and turned on the bed, her mind filled with stories from "Journey to the West." Because someone told the story so vividly, she was completely immersed and couldn't free herself from the tales, especially the lingering question about the meaning of the three knocks on Sun Wukong's head. What was the purpose?

Could it be that it bestowed some divine power upon Sun Wukong?

"Ah—"

Suddenly, the little fox pushed aside the blanket and sat up in bed. Angrily muttering to herself, "That damned man… he deliberately stopped there, now I can't even sleep properly."

The fox demoness grew more and more agitated, wishing she could skin Lu Xun alive and strip him of his tendons. He knew she was looking forward to this story, but he intentionally played with her, making her anxious… it was truly infuriating. If she could beat him up, she would've done it by now. Oh wait, if he were gone, she wouldn't be able to hear "Journey to the West."

"Ah…"

"He's driving me crazy!"

"And Sister Xuan Yin… why on earth did she choose such a fellow out of all the handsome and talented men in the world?" The little fox pouted, her brows filled with concern, murmuring, "Is he really that great? Is he?"

Silently, she lay back down on the bed, her gaze fixed on the bed curtains. The tangled thoughts in her mind surged like a torrent. For a moment… the usually clear-minded little fox found herself unable to sleep. A bold idea emerged.

"No, no!"

"If I can't hear the continuation, I… I won't be able to sleep at all." The little fox hurriedly sat up again, determination in her eyes. With a swift motion, she threw off the blanket and got out of bed. Her petite figure was dressed in a simple blue bellyband and undergarments, despite her thin build, it gave her an indescribable charm.

She found a nightgown in the wardrobe, put it on, and then walked quickly to the door. She cautiously pushed open the wooden door and peered into the backyard a few times. Seeing no one around… she sneaked out, closing the door stealthily behind her, and briskly headed towards Lu Xun's room.

At the door,

The little fox was breathing slightly heavily, feeling like a guilty thief. Subconsciously, she glanced towards Xuan Yin's room, and an inexplicable sense of embarrassment surged from within. She pursed her lips gently and continued on her way.

"My… Should I really go in alone like this? What if he mistakes me for Sister Xuan Yin?" The little fox muttered under her breath, her voice barely audible. She paused for a simple reflection and calm analysis. Xuan Shi dismissed the thought – after all, she and Sister Xuan Yin were quite different. Xuan Yin was tall and voluptuous, while she was short and petite. The chances of being mistaken were slim.

But then again…

"I'm just a young demoness. Sneaking into a man's room in the middle of the night, and Sister Xuan Yin's fiancé's room at that. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Moreover, if she went in and found Lu Xun and Sister Xuan Yin cuddling, disheveled, wouldn't it be even more awkward?

What to do…

Should she enter or not?

The little fox stood at the door, thoroughly distressed. On one side were the constraints of morality, and on the other side was an urgent desire for the continuation of "Journey to the West." In the end, the desire for the story triumphed over moral considerations. She cautiously lifted her hand and pushed the door slightly, discovering that it wasn't locked.

"Creak—"

Her head peeked in first, and upon seeing that annoying man sitting cross-legged on the bed, she felt somewhat relieved. Quickly and quietly, she slipped inside and carefully closed the door.

Xuan Shi tiptoed toward Lu Xun's bedside. She had come here alone, her dainty fingers lightly poking at his body. After a few pokes without success, she persisted and poked several more times. Eventually, thanks to her efforts, Lu Xun was poked awake by the little fox.

"Ah…"

"When Patriarch Bodhi knocked three times on Sun Wukong's head… what does it mean?" The little fox urgently inquired upon seeing Lu Xun awake.

Lu Xun, who had just awakened from his focused meditation, looked at the petite and adorable demoness before him. Her delicate and youthful face was filled with anxiousness and eager anticipation. He was taken aback and somewhat bewildered.

"Why… why are you in my room?" Lu Xun was startled, his face turning pale. He still felt a lingering fear as he spoke, "I thought I saw a female ghost… you nearly scared me to death. What's with all this sneaking around?"

"Hmph!"

"A female ghost wouldn't be as cute and good-looking as me." Xuan Shi pouted, sounding annoyed. "And… the reason I sneaked in like this is because you deliberately withheld the continuation of the story. It kept me tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep. So, I came here to listen to the rest of the story. What is the meaning behind those three knocks on the head?"

"…"

"Oh my goodness!"

Lu Xun looked at the determined little fox before him, a mix of amusement and exasperation in his expression. He said wistfully, "You little daredevil… you have a small body but a big heart, daring to come alone into my room. Aren't you afraid of what I might do to you?"

"Xuan Yin and Master are here. Do you dare do anything to me?" The little fox replied with a disdainful look. "Even if I lent you ten times the courage, I doubt you'd dare. Alright, alright… stop talking, quickly tell me the continuation of the story. What does those three knocks on the head mean?"

"What do they mean?"

"Haven't you already figured it out?" Lu Xun shrugged and replied casually.

"Huh?"

"I… I've already figured it out?" The confused little fox looked at him, at the man sitting on the bed, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"It means you came to find me in the middle of the night." Lu Xun shrugged again and answered nonchalantly.

"What?"

"What kind of nonsense is that?"

"Isn't it that Patriarch Bodhi taught Sun Wukong the ability to travel through the heavens and earth by knocking his head?" The little fox furrowed her brows, disappointment evident on her face as she looked at the man before her.

Xuan Shi pouted and asked with curiosity and annoyance, "Why did Patriarch Bodhi want Sun Wukong to find him?"

"Want to know?" Lu Xun said mischievously.

"Um…" The little fox nodded eagerly.

"Come…"

"Bring your ear closer." Lu Xun gestured to her, his voice mysteriously soft.

The innocent little fox took a couple of steps forward and obediently brought her head closer.

"I'll tell you tomorrow night." Smirking, Lu Xun whispered in her ear.

In an instant,

The little fox was nearly infuriated, glaring at him with frustration, gritting her teeth and saying, "You… you…"

Just then, a gentle yet hurried knocking on the door interrupted them.

"… Husband…"

"I'm having trouble falling asleep…"

"Can I come in and chat with you?"

…
