Chapter 129: You Should Lead By Example

In a palace attic, Su Jingyi, who had just returned from her sword practice, was sitting at the highest point of the attic. She silently observed everything happening in the palace while a gentle breeze tousled her hair. The wind also lifted the robes she wore, revealing her mature and stunning countenance, giving her an otherworldly aura.

"It's actually true."

"Immortal Miao Feng, this demoness, has truly fallen in love with a man," Su Jingyi furrowed her brows slightly, her face displaying a faint sense of confusion and incomprehension.

Not long ago, she had sensed the presence of Immortal Miao Feng, a character both an adversary and an ally. She could perceive a special aura around her. However, when she met her, she found a young man holding hands with the millennium-old demoness. What baffled Su Jingyi even more was that, at that moment, Immortal Miao Feng had a look of happiness on her face, which was unimaginable.

"It seems... He doesn't look very old, maybe in his early twenties. Miao Feng has lived for over a thousand years," Su Jingyi thought, finding it increasingly unbelievable. This was beyond the scope of an older woman falling for a younger man; it was a love that transcended a millennium. Furthermore, the big demoness casually mentioned her lover's indifference to her being a snake demoness, and he even seemed excited about it.

Su Jingyi pursed her lips, revealing a slight hint of sadness and loneliness in her exquisite countenance. A demoness like Immortal Miao Feng, who terrified others and was considered an evil woman, had found her own lover, and here she was...

In fact, Su Jingyi had thought about trying to find a partner for cultivation herself, but her resistance to men had prevented her from acting on this idea. She didn't know why she had such a strong dislike for men. Whenever she saw a man, she felt uncomfortable all over.

"Hmph!"

Su Jingyi snorted coldly, a hint of disdain appearing on her face, "Having a lover is nothing to be proud of. Matters of love are complex and unpredictable. Maybe, just maybe, one day, that demoness will have her heart broken by a man, and then I can say she deserved it!"

With that, Su Jingyi stood up, took light and graceful steps, and descended the stairs. Along the way, she encountered many maids, and when they saw her, they all lowered their heads, not daring to make eye contact, filled with deep respect for her.

Soon, she arrived at a hot spring by herself, a personal hot spring only for Su Jingyi. Her robe slowly fell to the ground, and her impressive figure, rivaling that of the big demoness, was revealed. She gracefully stepped into the hot spring, closed her eyes slowly, and enjoyed the warmth that enveloped her entire body.

At the same time, Immortal Miao Feng stood beneath a large tree with Lu Xun, who had fallen unconscious.

The big demoness felt her mood was restless and slightly anxious. At the same time, she felt a hint of worry. Lu Xun's amazed expression when he first saw Su Jingyi was deeply imprinted in her mind. Although she didn't know if Lu Xun was tempted, based on his fearless and audacious nature, he would most likely make a move.

If Lu Xun harbored any greed towards Su Jingyi, things would become troublesome. Even though Su Jingyi had always declared that she wouldn't like any man in the world, when facing her little thief, she might break her own oath, just like herself.

There was a time when she was just like Su Jingyi, with a stubborn mouth, but now... she had fallen into the trap of the little thief's words, and she couldn't extricate herself. She believed Su Jingyi might be the same.

"Damn it!"

"What should I do? I can't kill her. Should I just keep a watch on him?" Immortal Miao Feng glanced at the unconscious Lu Xun, feeling melancholic and anxious. She muttered to herself, "Forget it, let's wait until he wakes up. He should wake up soon, right?"

After a while, Lu Xun gradually regained consciousness from his faint. When he groggily opened his eyes and saw the big demoness next to him, he mumbled, "Sister, what happened?"

"I don't know what happened. Anyway, you suddenly fainted," Immortal Miao Feng, seeing the little thief looking confused, instantly came up with an idea and said softly, "It must be because you've overexerted yourself recently, leading to a deficiency in your qi and blood, causing you to faint. Don't worry; later, I'll give you some acupuncture."

"No, no, no!" Lu Xun vividly remembered the last acupuncture session. At that time, he had pretended to faint, but under Sister's few silver needles, he had been in so much pain that he had truly fainted. The pain was excruciating, as if his cranial bones were being lifted off.

"Fine."

"Later, I'll give you a qi and blood replenishing pill." Immortal Miao Feng said gently.

"Yes, yes"

Lu Xun and the big demoness entered the city. At this moment, Immortal Miao Feng wore a veil and used some kind of magic to make her figure appear ordinary to outsiders. After all, her natural figure was too tempting, and even when she was wrapped in plain clothes, her graceful figure was still apparent.

Was it really a dream just now? Could such a stunning and enchanting woman exist in my dreams? It feels a bit strange.

Lu Xun was a little lost in thought, captivated by the voluptuous woman's figure, but unfortunately, he didn't get to see her face. He didn't know what she looked like. However, with such a figure, she must be incredibly stunning.

"What are you thinking?" Immortal Miao Feng glanced at the little thief next to her who seemed lost in thought and asked coldly, "Thinking about women?"

".."

"No, no. I was thinking about what to buy for Xuan Yin when we get back, and also for the little fox. I want to buy something for her too," Lu Xun replied.

Immortal Miao Feng's tightly knitted eyebrows relaxed suddenly, and she said gently, "Just buy some food for the little fox. As for Xuan Yin, she's your wife, so you should know what she likes."

Saying this, there was a hint of bitterness in her heart.

"What about me?"

The big demoness bit her lip, turned her face away, and muttered to herself, "Even the little fox gets something, do I... do I get something?"

Tsk tsk. This cute version of the big demoness is also interesting.

Lu Xun grinned playfully and said, "How could I ever forget about you, sister."

After saying that, he leaned close to her ear and whispered something.

"Absurd! Don't even think about it!"

Immortal Miao Feng was embarrassed, her neck turning red with shame as she glared at the annoying man, questioning, "Has Xuan Yin ever tried it?"

"No." Lu Xun shook his head and said solemnly, "You two can't escape. And sister, since you're the oldest among us, you should lead by example for Xuan Yin. It's better to act sooner rather than later. Let's do it tonight. It would be a waste not to make use of this opportunity with the Snake Seal."

"You..." The big demoness was on the verge of going mad. If they weren't in a public place, she might have beaten him up on the spot.

"This inn is not bad." Lu Xun completely ignored her predatory gaze and held her hand as they entered the inn's lobby.

"Are you here for a meal or to stay?"

The waiter approached them warmly and hurriedly asked Lu Xun.

"To stay."

"A top-quality room!"
