There’s Something Wrong With These Demonic Women!

Chapter 96: I'll Compensate You With Myself

The charming countenance of Immortal Miao Feng was right in front of him, a mixture of panic and anger filling her eyes. Faced with this unexpected situation, Lu Xun first froze, then quickly came to his senses, smiling slyly as he asked the big demoness, "Sister, why are you here?"

At this moment, the big demoness was a bit flustered. This kind of situation shouldn't have occurred. With her cultivation and realm, how could she have been pulled over by him so effortlessly? However, the concern she felt for him deep in her heart, along with an imperceptible sense of fondness, turned something that shouldn't have happened into something that felt natural.

And he was holding her so tightly.

The big demoness muttered silently in her heart, then shot him a glare before gritting her teeth, "I came to see if you were dead."

"Sister is lying."

"Just now, you fed me a pill." With one hand, Lu Xun tightly held her delicate hand, while the other hand quietly moved towards her waist. Taking advantage of her momentary lack of vigilance, he gently embraced her.

The big demoness let out a cold snort and said lightly, "If it weren't for Xuan Yin, I wouldn't want to waste my pills on you. These pills are precious; each one is worth a fortune."

As soon as her words fell, she angrily scolded, "What are you doing? Where are your hands?"

"Huh?"

"Oh, this was just an involuntary action." Lu Xun laughed innocently, then silently retracted his hand. However, the hand holding her hand still didn't let go. Looking at the big demoness before him, he softly said, "So, these few days… Sister must have suffered heavy losses."

The big demoness responded coldly, "What can I do about it? I can't just let you die. If you died, Xuan Yin would be heartbroken."

"Sister."

"Is it Xuan Yin who's heartbroken, or is it you?" Lu Xun pressed on, asking softly.

The big demoness furrowed her brows, gazing at the persistent little thief before her. Deep within her heart, the tranquil waters appeared to stir, as if agitated by unseen forces. She turned her face slightly and said calmly, "Of course, it's Xuan Yin. Why… why would I be upset? I'd be delighted if you died quickly."

"Is that so?"

"I don't believe it!"

Lu Xun pursed his lips and said solemnly, "Sister, regarding the losses you suffered with those pills, I'll compensate you."

"Compensate?"

"How will you compensate?"

"You don't have a single copper on you. What could you use to compensate me?" Immortal Miao Feng stared at him skeptically.

"Myself!"

Lu Xun said earnestly, "I'll compensate you with myself. The highest form of repayment in this world is to offer oneself. Sister, rest assured, your little thief will certainly satisfy you. And if you don't believe me, just ask Xuan Yin; she knows all about it."

After hearing this outrageous and shameless proposition, Immortal Miao Feng experienced a blend of anger, irritation, and profound embarrassment. She wished she could pick up her sword and cut him down. But then again, it wasn't entirely without merit. In just seven short days, she had lost more than a dozen pills. Using him as compensation wasn't entirely unreasonable….

Thinking about this, unintentionally, her face turned red. What… what nonsense am I thinking?!

"Hmph!"

"You've played this trick quite cunningly." The big demoness sat up, glaring at him with widened eyes. She said coldly, "I won't let you have any thoughts about my body. You better dismiss that idea early. If Xuan Yin finds out, she might just chop you into pieces."

"I'll handle Xuan Yin. I'll convince her to accept it, to allow me to have another wife." Lu Xun spoke with a cheerful smile, "Sister, rest assured. I've got this. You can look forward to being sisters with Xuan Yin. As for who's big and who's little, that's for you two to decide."

Upon hearing this, the big demoness couldn't help but tremble. A strong sense of shame coursed through her body. She hadn't thought about this before, but now, hearing him mention it, she realized the complexity and awkwardness of the situation.

Sisters?

Making me and Xuan Yin into sisters… this… she's been addressing me as her Master for hundreds of years, and now suddenly he wants me to be her sister? It's simply… simply… unbearable!

Lu Xun looked at her with anticipation, noticing that the big demoness's face was growing redder by the moment. It was evident that the idea of becoming "sisters" was hard for her to accept. He gently said, "Sister, you and Xuan Yin aren't mother and daughter, nor are you master and disciple. Even though she addresses you as her master, it's more of a respectful title. On the contrary, from beginning to end, you've had a sisterly relationship."

"Furthermore…"

"If I call you sister, and Xuan Yin is my wife, and you become my wife in the future, then Xuan Yin should also call you sister, just like I do." Lu Xun earnestly presented his ideas to the big demoness.

"What do you think? Do the words of your little thief make sense?" Lu Xun pinched her jade hand and softly asked.

"Get lost!"

The big demoness said coldly, "A master is a master. How can we be sisters?"

"Well…"

"Why worry about titles?"

"Life is short, so enjoy it to the fullest, don't waste a golden goblet beneath the moonlight." Lu Xun said meaningfully, "Let's just be happy together!"

While speaking, he tentatively placed his hand on her leg, gazing at her affectionately, "Sister."

Immortal Miao Feng shuddered again, slapped away his roaming hand, and said irritably, "If you dare touch me again, I'll chop you up!"

"Oh."

Lu Xun seemed somewhat disappointed, so he squeezed her hand tightly.

"Ouch."

"It's a bit painful!" The big demoness said with a stern face.

Lu Xun gave a mischievous grin and slightly loosened his grip. He said softly, "Sister, your hand is so smooth."

Immortal Miao Feng gave him a sideways glance and asked calmly, "Isn't Xuan Yin's hand smooth?"

"Smooth!"

"Both of you are smooth!"

Lu Xun said playfully, "In the future, one hand will be holding you, and the other will be holding Xuan Yin. Unfortunately, the little fox will have to endure some inconvenience."

At this moment, Immortal Miao Feng suddenly withdrew her hand and said coldly, "Go grab Xuan Yin then. She's your wife. Also, if you dare to have any improper thoughts about Xuan Shi, I won't be polite with you."

As she spoke, she stood up and walked away.

Watching her departing figure, Lu Xun licked his lips and thought to himself. This haughty demoness, in the future, I'll make you cry out in joy and satisfaction!

…

"Ah—"

"Oh, this feels good!"

Lu Xun lay in Xuan Yin's large pool, his eyes closed, quietly enjoying the soothing warmth. While the magical pills from the big demoness had relieved his physical exhaustion, days of continuous battles had taken a toll on his internal strength.

Gradually, the wounds in his heart were slowly healing, and with that came active thinking.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that with just his physical body, he couldn't resist the frenzy of the demoness. This was just a little demoness; if it were the big demoness, he would probably have met his demise the next day.

"Ah…"

"To build a robust life, one must possess a robust physique. This is indeed crucial!" Lu Xun sighed and mumbled to himself. "This little demoness of just four hundred years has already given me such a tough time. I'll have to work hard to deal with the big demoness in the future."

Just then, footsteps sounded in his ears, and as Lu Xun looked, he saw a vague figure emerging, coming into focus. Judging by the height, it should be the little fox.

"You're really here."

"I went to the back mountain and didn't see you, so I knew you must be soaking in the bath." The little fox wore a simple dress that made her appear even more pure and cute. Her bright, shining eyes were fixed on Lu Xun in the pool, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.

"What are you doing here?" Lu Xun asked casually.

"When are we going to the outside world to play?" The little fox bit her lip, her face furrowing with urgency. She asked, "Are we leaving tomorrow?"

"No rush."

"Give me a few days to recover." Lu Xun pursed his lips and answered nonchalantly.

"Ah?"

The little fox was getting anxious. She stomped her feet in frustration and bit her cherry-red lips, speaking with a hint of coquetry, "Lu Xun, let's leave tomorrow. I… I'm going crazy waiting. Especially these past couple of days, I don't know what's gotten into Master, she's been making me practice swordsmanship in various ways. When I can't do it well, she scolds me. It feels like her mood has been terrible these past few days, and she's taking it out on me."

Lu Xun glanced at the little fox, who was anxious and distressed, and immediately felt a bit sympathetic. After a moment of hesitation, he said softly, "Let me rest for two days. It's not easy to catch my breath now. Besides, you've been holding back for so long. A couple more days won't hurt."

The little fox wasn't an unreasonable demoness. Seeing his tired expression, she eventually agreed and said, "Then take a few more days to rest. Let me know when you're feeling better."

"Okay."

Lu Xun nodded in response, then asked, "And what about Xuan Yin, where is she?"

"Sister Xuan Yin, well…"

"It seems she's in seclusion for cultivation. She just passed the Yin phase and needs to stabilize her cultivation realm." Xuan Shi answered, "It will probably take around ten days."

Lu Xun couldn't help but freeze. Why didn't she tell me?

Why does it feel like…

I've been abandoned from beginning to end?

Lu Xun pondered for a moment, and he quickly found an answer. It's possible that the memories of almost consuming me to death have started to haunt her. These past few days, the little demoness has not only been proactive but also wild!

"Lu Xun."

"I'm heading back now." The little fox pouted, looking at the man soaking in the pool, and whispered to herself, "Will you tell me stories this afternoon?"

"Don't worry."

"As long as you want to hear stories, I'll tell you." Lu Xun said softly with a gentle smile.

"Hehehe."

"Then I'm off!"

The little fox left in high spirits, leaving Lu Xun to continue soaking in the warm pool.

Returning to the courtyard, Lu Xun pushed open the door and saw the little fox practicing swordsmanship. Her adorable face was full of frustration and helplessness. At the same time, the big demoness sat leisurely in the hall, sipping tea.

The little fox looked at him with pleading eyes, sending signals of help, but Lu Xun simply ignored her.

He walked slowly to the hall, sitting next to the big demoness.

Immortal Miao Feng furrowed her brow and whispered coldly, "Don't mess around!"
