There’s Something Wrong With These Demonic Women!
Chapter 84: Do You Understand What Love Is

On the next morning, Lu Xun emerged from his small house, stretching lazily after a good night's sleep. He then moved his body to work out the stiffness, and instantly felt soreness in his sides and even his spine cracked when he bent.

"Too terrifying."

"My Pure Yang body combined with an impenetrable defense actually got overwhelmed by the little demoness." Lu Xun touched his side with a pained expression. "I can barely handle the little demoness. If it were the big demoness, I might have died under her. If… if both of them were to join forces."

Thinking about this, Lu Xun's heart became even more heavy. His cultivation speed was already so fast. Even if he advanced further with the Pure Yang body, he probably wouldn't stand a chance against the millennia of loneliness and solitude of the big demoness. After all, the little demoness of four hundred years had proven to be a challenge. The horrifying power of the thousand-year-old big demoness was beyond imagination.

"Why do I feel like something is getting more and more off?"

Standing at the doorway of his house, Lu Xun's face was full of confusion about life. According to his knowledge of transmigration plots, every transmigrator ends up "walking the path of the strong, persisting through self-improvement." They reach the pinnacle of life through hard work and talent. Then he looked at himself, stumbling onto a path of relying on his wife.

Even if life has dreams, at least have a strong backbone, right? Those two women were so fierce that his original backbone couldn't handle them at all.

"Ah…"

"This is my life. Even the air is filled with the scent of kidney deficiency." Lu Xun sighed, lifted his tattered body, and walked to the big demoness's house. He raised his hand and lightly knocked on the door a couple of times, but there was no answer. He knocked several times more, but the door remained closed.

Is she angry?

It shouldn't be like that. After all, she had such a broad mind.

Having been ignored at the door, Lu Xun returned to his house with a lack of interest. He picked up the Meteor Star Sword leaning against the wall and went to the courtyard to comprehend sword intent. Standing where he had once sparred with the big demoness, his thoughts returned to that scene.

In front of Lu Xun, hundreds of swords appeared, coming at him like a deluge. But he didn't evade; after all, everything was an imaginary scenario he created. Sword after sword pierced through his body.

Once, twice, thrice…

Lu Xun recalled this scene over a dozen times, and gradually, he seemed to sense a fierce killing intent within Immortal Miao Feng's sword intent. In a moment of enlightenment, he grasped a fragment of understanding, but he wasn't entirely sure. He suspected that the big demoness's sword intent was rooted in her experiences of killing, her unwavering dedication to slaughter giving rise to her terrifying sword intent.

"Dedication."

"What is my dedication?"

Lu Xun lifted the sword in his hand, staring at it intensely, and at the same time, another scene appeared in his mind, causing his face to redden slowly.

"…"

"No, that's not it."

Lu Xun awkwardly shook his head and mumbled softly, "Although that is indeed part of my dedication, my dedication isn't limited to that. Um, I should think more about the ‘lofty' aspect."

Standing still for a while, Lu Xun finally abandoned the idea of comprehending sword intent, and he silently returned to the hall. Sipping the clear tea in his cup, he contemplated the terror that the little demoness would bring tonight.

"Hmph!"

At some point, the big demoness appeared in the hall, wearing a plain white waist-length dress. She cast a cold glance at the absent-minded Lu Xun and then sat beside him. She lifted the tea pot, poured herself a cup, and sipped it casually. She realized that Lu Xun was still lost in thought and hadn't noticed her presence.

"Ahem."

"What are you thinking?" Immortal Miao Feng coughed lightly and asked calmly.

"Big sister?"

"I'm thinking about how tonight's Xuan Yin will be like," Lu Xun pursed his lips and said with a bitter smile.

"Having devoured you last night, swallowing you tonight, and flaying you alive tomorrow night," Immortal Miao Feng answered indifferently. "The last two nights will be earth-shattering and enough to make ghosts and gods weep. If you survive through them, you'll be granted a hundred years of peace. If you can't endure, then your entire life will be peaceful."

An entire lifetime of peace?

Isn't that like spending one's life in a morgue?

Lu Xun rolled his eyes and quietly extended his hand, planning to grab the big demoness's delicate hand. However, the vigilant demoness had anticipated his move and deftly avoided him.

Immortal Miao Feng said expressionlessly, "You don't need to worry too much these days. Prepare well for the last two nights. Based on past experience, Xuan Yin may lose her human side tonight. Her snake nature will dominate her mind, forcing her back to her original form. However, the circumstances may have changed by now. As for the specifics, you'll find out for yourself."

"Oh."

Lu Xun shrank his neck and cautiously asked, "Sister, can I ask you a question? Are there creatures like centaurs, merfolk, and spider women in this world?"

"Centaurs? Merfolk? Spider women?"

Immortal Miao Feng frowned, murmuring softly, "Hundreds of years ago… I encountered a wild horse, but unfortunately, its spiritual roots were limited. Its final form was half human, half demon beast—a hybrid with the body of an ordinary woman and the appearance of a horse."

Wow!

So they do exist?

"Where is she now?" Lu Xun asked.

"Reincarnated." Sᴇaʀᴄh the NʘvᴇlFirᴇ.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Immortal Miao Feng said calmly, "Dared to snatch my belongings, so I sent her on her way."

Well, that's the big demoness for you, drawing her sword without hesitation.

Lu Xun pursed his lips and meaningfully asked, "Sister, if in the future, under your boundless loneliness, I were to enter Xuan Yin's room, would you draw your sword against her to demand retribution?"

Upon hearing this from the little thief, Immortal Miao Feng was initially stunned. She looked at him with a perplexed expression and then suddenly realized his meaning. Glaring at him in embarrassment, she angrily said, "You… don't take advantage of me."

"I was just teasing you," Lu Xun chuckled naively. "Big sister, you are so generous. You'll definitely go easy on Xuan Yin, right?"

"Hmph!"

Immortal Miao Feng snorted coldly, not bothering to entertain this little thief. However, his absurd words always managed to leave her emotions slightly in turmoil.

"Li… little."

"Little thief."

Immortal Miao Feng called out in a voice as soft as a mosquito's, but she didn't receive a response.

Suddenly, the sound of a sword swaying reached her ears, and the big demoness realized that the little thief had disappeared from the hall. At this moment, he was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard.

Watching his every move, she can't help but become engrossed. Actually, it's quite good to have him around. Xuan Yin will no longer have to suffer from the Yin surge. Xuan Shi doesn't have to be bored all day. As for herself, she now has someone to talk to.

"Sigh."

"Xuan Shi, oh Xuan Shi, you mustn't get entangled in this," Immortal Miao Feng sighed. Her eyes were filled with sorrow. The current situation is already chaotic enough. If Xuan Shi were to get caught up in it, there would be no peaceful days from then on.

The little fox walked out of her room, her petite body slightly bending back as she stretched lazily. Then, she excitedly ran toward Lu Xun's room. However, after just a few steps, she was suddenly stopped by Immortal Miao Feng.

"Xuan Shi!"

"Come with me into the room." Immortal Miao Feng stood at her own doorway and softly instructed her.

"Huh?"

"Master… Master, I…" The little fox, seeing Immortal Miao Feng's expressionless face, was frightened on the spot. She stood there in bewilderment, not knowing what to say. "I've been quite well-behaved lately, and I haven't… haven't caused any trouble for you."

"I know."

"Master just wants to have a little chat with you." Seeing the little fox's terrified expression, Immortal Miao Feng felt a little uncomfortable. She raised her pale hand and beckoned her gently, saying tenderly, "Don't worry, Master won't scold you. I just want to talk."

"Oh."

The little fox lowered her head, hesitated for a moment, and then timidly approached.

Inside the room, the little fox hopped onto a wooden chair, swinging her short legs back and forth. She cautiously asked, "Master, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"To be honest, there's nothing in particular."

"Recently, I've noticed you've been getting close to Lu Xun. You two seem to get along well," Immortal Miao Feng said gently. "At first, I was worried you'd quarrel with him, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

The little fox pouted and answered sweetly, "I did find him annoying at first. Not only is he a living, breathing man, but he also took away my sister Xuan Yin. But… he's so good at telling stories, especially vivid and interesting ones. I… I just…"

"Alright."

"Master has no objections. Seeing you so happy every day, I am genuinely delighted for you," Immortal Miao Feng said softly. "Xuan Yin and I have rather aloof personalities, and we often overlook your feelings. Now that Lu Xun is able to bring you joy, that's the situation Xuan Yin and I would most like to see."

Speaking of this, Immortal Miao Feng paused for a moment and indirectly asked, "Xuan Shi, do you understand what love is?"

The little fox was taken aback and looked at her master with a bewildered expression, shaking her head in confusion.

"I see."

"Perhaps I've been overthinking." Immortal Miao Feng gazed at the little fox, who seemed utterly bewildered. She said gently, "Now it's time for Lu Xun to tell you stories, right?"

"Mm-hmm." The little fox nodded.

"Then help me deliver this pill to him." Immortal Miao Feng took out a small blue pill and mumbled, "This is a life-saving pill for your sister Xuan Yin. Make sure you give it to him. Don't be careless."

The little fox accepted the pill, held it carefully in her palm, and earnestly said, "Master, rest assured. I'll give it to him right away."

"Good."

"You can go now." Immortal Miao Feng smiled gently.

Once the little fox left, the big demoness couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. At the same time, an inexplicable sense of embarrassment coursed through her body.

Could it be…

Could it be that I misunderstood?

It's not Xuan Yin and Xuan Shi turning against each other, but rather me and Xuan Yin?

Meanwhile, after closing the door behind her, the little fox stood at the doorway without moving for a long time. A mixture of rebellion and stubbornness was written all over her cute and adorable face.

I'm… I'm not a child!

I've grown up!
