There’s Something Wrong With These Demonic Women!

Chapter 98: I Can Only Be Your Little Fox

In the spacious hall, Immortal Miao Feng stared daggers at Lu Xun. Her piercing gaze seemed as if it could devour him alive. Coldly and with an air of accusation, she demanded, "Why does Xuan Shi obey you so readily? She wasn't like this before. You… You better explain it to me clearly, otherwise… Otherwise, I will…"

"Is this really so strange?"

Lu Xun looked puzzled, carefully saying, "Sister, is it possible that you and Xuan Yin don't really understand her?"

"I and Xuan Yin don't understand her? Are you implying that you understand her? You and Xuan Shi have only known each other for a short while. I've been with her since she was young," Immortal Miao Feng retorted angrily. "Don't give me these confusing words."

Lu Xun shrugged and said with a serious tone, "Don't doubt it. I understand the little fox better than both of you. Let me ask you this, do you know what her favorite food is? Do you know what she likes to do in her free time? Do you know what she thinks about every day?"

Faced with these questions from Lu Xun, the big demoness was left speechless for a moment. She hesitated and then replied somewhat uncertainly, "You… You don't understand her either, so why bother saying so much?"

"Who said I don't understand her?"

Rolling his eyes at the demoness beside him, Lu Xun grinned and said, "The little fox loves sweet things the most. She usually sneaks down the mountain to listen to stories or watch performances. As for what she thinks about every day, it's simple: she just hopes that you and Xuan Yin will pay more attention to her. She doesn't want you both to focus solely on cultivating day in and day out, pushing her to do the same."

Lu Xun's words struck deep in the heart of the big demoness. She felt regret and aching, opening her mouth to respond but hesitating for a long time. Finally, she sighed helplessly and muttered to herself, "I feel like such a failure. I thought caring for her was enough, but now it seems like I've done nothing at all."

The overwhelming sense of loss that washed over Immortal Miao Feng also resonated with Lu Xun. He slowly stood up, strolled over, and gently embraced her bare shoulder. He patted her head softly and said in a low voice, "Sister, this isn't your fault. If it weren't for you, she might not even be alive now."

Immersed in her feelings of disappointment and sadness, the big demoness didn't realize that something was amiss. Instead, at that moment, she felt an unparalleled warmth and an overflowing sense of security. She couldn't help but lean against him, whispering, "I've been with her for over two hundred years, yet I can't compare to your mere ten days with her."

"Sigh…"

"If I could start over, I would definitely take better care of her," Immortal Miao Feng lightly pursed her lips and muttered.

Lu Xun watched the big demoness sitting in the chair, closely beside him. Although he couldn't see her expression, he could feel the waves of despair emanating from her. He sighed softly and said, "Sister, don't worry. The things she can't get from you and Xuan Yin, I will compensate for."

"Compensate…"

"What can you compensate her with? Unless you're using your body to compensate."

As she said this, her words came to an abrupt halt.

"Ah-!"

"When did you… How long have you been standing here?" Immortal Miao Feng suddenly snapped back to reality, noticing that he was standing beside her. At the same time, she realized that he had his arms around her.

She immediately blushed and turned red, a strong sense of embarrassment sweeping over her. She shook herself free from his embrace, exclaiming in frustration, "You shameless scoundrel! You actually took advantage of me secretly!"

"What do you mean by taking advantage of you?"

"Sister, you can't say that," Lu Xun earnestly explained. "I saw you looking so lost and helpless, so I kindly used my own body to act as a safe haven for your inner feelings. Besides, you leaned in on your own; I didn't force you."

"I…"

Immortal Miao Feng didn't know how to respond. She sat there, looking utterly bewildered.

"No words?"

"Actually, sister, you do like me, don't you?" Lu Xun asked seriously.

The word ‘like' was like a sharp sword, piercing through her heartstrings. The big demoness bit her lip and uncontrollably shifted her gaze to his face, letting it slide down his neck before averting her eyes. She said coldly, "I, Immortal Miao Feng, won't develop feelings for any man."

Tsk tsk tsk, even more stubborn than the little demoness—I like it!

Lu Xun chuckled softly and said seriously, "Sister, I will conquer you!"

"…"

"Get lost!"

Immortal Miao Feng stood up, glared angrily at the shameless little thief, then swayed her round butt as she quickly walked toward the backyard. However, after only a few steps, she suddenly stopped, turned back to Lu Xun, and said, "Don't mention such things in front of Xuan Yin and Xuan Shi. Not a single word!"

As soon as the words fell, she left straightaway.

Hurriedly back in her room, Immortal Miao Feng stood behind the door, her body pressed against it, panting heavily, her cheeks burning hot on both sides.

He actually dared to utter such coarse and vulgar words to me. He's becoming more and more over-the-top, more and more dismissive of me. He's really becoming… more and more insolent.

…

"What's wrong?"

"That look of dejection all over your face."

Lu Xun watched as the little fox entered his room, her face full of indignation. He laughed and asked, "So, you don't like going outside with your Master?"

"Uh…"

Sitting at the table, the little fox rested her cheeks on her hands, her thin lips pursed high, and she replied with a pout, "When my Master is around, I can't do anything as I please. If she finds something even slightly displeasing, she starts lecturing me about it. It's so annoying!"

"That's her way of showing care. Both she and Xuan Yin care about you a lot, afraid that you might get hurt," Lu Xun patiently explained. "Actually, you don't have to worry. After all, I'll be there. I'll convince her."

"You?"

"You can't beat my Master in a fight, can you?" The little fox rolled her eyes and said playfully, "The only person in this world who can defeat her is Su Jingyi, and even if Su Jingyi were to intervene, I can't guarantee she would win. More often than not, it'd end up in a draw."

Lu Xun smiled and didn't continue the topic, instead he started telling her a story.

Before long, the little fox became engrossed in Lu Xun's captivating tale. She swung her two short legs and wagged her two fluffy white tails behind her as she listened. Worries about going outside with Immortal Miao Feng were soon forgotten.

After an unknown amount of time passed…

With Lu Xun finishing the last part of today's story, the little fox finally woke up from her reluctance, her cute and delicate face showing a satisfied expression.

At the same time, Lu Xun had been staring at the two fluffy tails of the little fox, and curiously asked her, "Can I touch your tail?"

"No!"

The little fox quickly retracted her tail, giving him a vigilant look.

"Why not?"

"I've seen you without clothes. After that, touching your tail shouldn't be a big deal, right?" Lu Xun persisted, a hint of pleading in his tone. "Just a quick touch, that's all."

The little fox bit her lip tightly, her eyes filled with hesitation.

"Then, just a quick one." She lowered her head, her voice as small as a mosquito. "Only one quick touch."

"Don't worry."

"I promise to keep my word." Lu Xun stood up and went behind the little fox. Suddenly, two fluffy tails protruded from her skirt, dangling in front of Lu Xun, as if inviting ‘Come catch me!'

"Don't wiggle, I can't catch it." Lu Xun reminded her.

The little fox, her face flushed with embarrassment, squeaked in response, "Hurry up."

As soon as she spoke, the little fox suddenly convulsed all over, emitting a sweet trembling sound between her rosy lips. Her cheeks on both sides were burning, and her body involuntarily slumped onto the table..

Lu Xun noticed the way the little fox went limp and weak. Combined with his experience of touching her tail, he probably had an accurate answer. If he guessed correctly, the little fox's weakness lay in her tail, similar to the way it was under the arms of the little demoness.

"You!"

"Could you at least give me a warning before touching?" The little fox propped herself up, turned her head, and glared at him with a red face. She said in exasperation, "That unexpected touch just now, I… I…"

"I understand."

Lu Xun sat down next to her with a bright smile, looking at the shy little fox, and asked gently, "Why didn't you tell me that your tail is your weakness?"

"I say what I want to say, and I don't say what I don't want to say. Do you have a problem with that?" The little fox turned her head away, her eyes misty as she stared at a certain spot in the room. She mumbled, "How does it feel? Is it very comfortable, all soft and fluffy?"

"Uh-huh."

"Especially silky."

Lu Xun nodded, then continued to ask, "Has your Master and Xuan Yin touched your tail before?"

"They have."

"Especially your wife. She always bullies me," The little fox pouted and said with a grudge, "Back when I didn't know how to hide my tail and I only had one, she… she… was just like you earlier, suddenly touching my tail."

Tsk tsk tsk…

My wife is so mischievous? Well, she certainly is.

Lu Xun recalled the seven days when the little demoness exhibited all sorts of inexplicable behaviors. This wasn't just mischief!

The little fox sneakily glanced at him. Seeing him sitting in place dazed, and after the chair made a soft sound as it fell to the ground, she hurriedly made her way to the door. Just as she was about to open it, she couldn't help but turn back and look at Lu Xun inside the room.

"Lu Xun."

The little fox called out softly.

"Hmm?"

"What's wrong?" Following her voice, Lu Xun looked over and saw the little fox standing at the door, looking hesitant and uncertain. He asked, "What do you want to tell me?"

"…"

"In my memory, my mother said that a tail can't be touched by a man unless he's her husband," the little fox murmured with her head down, her voice barely audible. "I… I have no other choice. I can only be your little fox now."

Finished speaking, she suddenly dashed out.

"Oh no—"
