There’s Something Wrong With These Demonic Women!
Chapter 35: Teach Me For An Extra Hour

Facing Lu Xun's calls, Xuan Yin, leaning against Immortal Miao Feng, blushed faintly. She lightly bit her cherry lips and murmured, "He keeps calling me ‘Wife,' and I've told him several times to call me by my name, but he just won't listen."

"I think it's fine."

"After all, you are his wife, so there's nothing wrong with him calling you that," Immortal Miao Feng smiled and said, "Besides, Lu Xun cares a lot about you. He came all the way here to call you for study, which shows that you are special to him. However, Xuan Yin…" With a slightly serious tone, she continued, "Don't let yourself believe that he already belongs to you. Men are like cats that sneak around. Don't be deceived by sweet words, especially your husband. He can speak so charmingly that it's even more captivating than singing. You must maintain your boundaries and never let him stray."

Xuan Yin, now too disinterested to argue, absentmindedly replied, and then released her hold on her Master's arm. She looked at her curiously and said, "Master, I've noticed you seem to understand him quite well, even better than I do."

As soon as she finished speaking, Immortal Miao Feng's face changed drastically. An indescribable sense of shame surged from the depths of her heart again, causing a faint blush to appear on her enchanting face. She quickly turned her head away and coldly retorted, "Nonsense! He is your husband."

"Huh?"

Faced with her Master's evasive response, Xuan Yin looked puzzled, but being so innocent, she didn't think too much about it. She simply said softly, "Master, have you noticed that he's actually quite good to you? He even remembered to bring you candied haws."

This remark made Immortal Miao Feng even more flustered. She forcibly suppressed her emotions and said awkwardly, "That's his own business, what does it have to do with me? Besides, I have the Calamity Fruit to suppress my desires. I won't be tempted by your husband. I'm not like you, little girl."

"…"

"Master, I… I was just saying that he cares about you. Why are you turning it back to me?"

"Alright, alright. Go and study now. Don't keep your husband waiting," Immortal Miao Feng urged.

"Oh."

Xuan Yin stood up slowly, strolled to the door, and was about to open it when that annoying daoist appeared again, shouting outside.

"Wife? wife?"

"We should study. Don't try to escape. As they say, ‘A settled home does not need a high hall; within books lies wisdom.'"

The door creaked open.

"Squeak—"

Xuan Yin forcefully opened the door, glaring at him with wide eyes, and said angrily, "What are you shouting for? You've been making such a racket. Master and I were having a chat inside, and you kept yelling outside. I'll come to study a bit later, no big deal. If you keep shouting, I'll chop off your head."

This illiterate and fierce woman! How did I, Lu Xun, end up marrying her?

"A scholar's most important quality is punctuality. If you can't even manage the basic punctuality, what's the point of studying?" Lu Xun said solemnly, "Hurry up and come in. I've already prepared the four treasures of the study. Today's task is quite heavy—we'll learn two poems and you'll have to recite them."

Learning two poems was already excessive, and now he even wants me to recite them? Hearing tonight's requirements, Xuan Yin's face turned dark, and she became indignant, "You know I'm not smart, yet you still set such high demands. Are you intentionally embarrassing me to have a laugh?"

Oh well. Can I have a different wife? Isn't there Xuan Shi? Why not let her be my wife instead? If it doesn't work, big demoness, you can personally step in!

Lu Xun looked at his wife who was righteously arguing with him. He felt a bit bitter in his heart and sighed helplessly. He quietly said, "Alright, alright. Husband will decide depending on the situation. Let's go first, no need to waste time."

"Hmph." Xuan Yin snorted coldly and reluctantly followed him to study.

Just at this moment, Immortal Miao Feng came out of the room. She watched Xuan Yin and Lu Xun bickering all the way, feeling both relieved and a bit distressed.

Xuan Yin was truly in love with him, but unfortunately, Lu Xun was cursed with the love disaster. He couldn't separate himself from women in this lifetime. What could she do to firmly hold Xuan Yin's heart?

Immortal Miao Feng pondered for a while when suddenly, a brilliant idea struck her.

"I remember. Six hundred years ago, I accidentally obtained an ancient dual cultivation technique. If Xuan Yin could learn the techniques from it, she would be able to cut off Lu Xun's improper thoughts. Moreover, Xuan Yin's nature is already Yin, and combined with the support of the extreme Yin within her, Lu Xun would have no chance with her in bed."

"I should… I should still have it. I'll go and find it."

…

Xuan Yin sat at the table, holding a brush in her hand, and copied the poem verses with crooked and twisted handwriting. Lu Xun beside her was left speechless. She was clearly so beautiful and had such a charming figure, but how could her handwriting be so unbearable?

"Alright."

"How is it?" Xuan Yin put down the brush and asked Lu Xun, who was beside her.

"You've made some progress compared to yesterday. Let's continue to work hard in the future." Lu Xun packed up the four treasures of the study and gently said, "We'll stop here for today."

Xuan Yin sat there, gazing at him intently as he tidied up the table. She felt a slight reluctance in her heart, as if the time they spent together had passed too quickly. She lightly bit her lips and calmly said, "This morning, Master taught you about the manifestation of sword qi. Do you have any parts that you didn't understand?"

"Quite a few."

"For example, what your Master mentioned about having distractions in the heart, which can make the sword qi impure. But I don't know how to eliminate those distractions." Lu Xun looked at the aloof little demoness beside him and curiously asked, "What do you usually do?"

"I control my thoughts through breathing." Xuan Yin lightly pursed her lips and murmured, "Tomorrow, I'll teach you how to regulate your breath."

"Okay." Lu Xun nodded in response and continued to tidy up the table.

Xuan Yin pouted slightly, slowly stood up, and casually said, "I'm going back."

"Oh." Lu Xun just nodded without paying much attention to her.

Seeing him ignore her, Xuan Yin felt a bit displeased. She walked slowly to the door and gently opened it. At this moment, she turned her head to look at him, hesitated for a while with words on the tip of her tongue, but still couldn't bring herself to say them.

Finally, she gathered her courage.

"Lu Xun…"

"I want to study more." Xuan Yin bit her lips, her face expressionless, and said, "Starting from tomorrow, teach me for an extra hour."

With that said, she quickly slipped away, leaving Lu Xun standing there, looking confused and unsure.

This little demoness seems a bit off.
