Chapter 31: I Want To Eat Candied Haws
Xuan Yin felt a bit hot all over, especially after being exposed by the person next to her, revealing her hypocritical mask. The emotions of embarrassment, helplessness, and shame almost consumed her entire being, leaving only one thought in her mind: to quickly slip back to her own room.
"Hey, hey, wife!"
"Why is your neck also red?" Lu Xun looked at the blushing little demoness with a mischievous grin and said, "Are you alright? Do you want this lord to help you check if you're sick? Let me tell you, not only do I exterminate demons and evil spirits, but in my free time, I also help people with their illnesses, and occasionally, I act as a veterinarian."
Listening to his nonsensical words, Xuan Yin felt a mix of urgency, anger, and helplessness. She tried to regain control of her emotions and bring her clear consciousness back. She bit her lips tightly and said coldly, "Get lost! I don't need your help!"
"I-I'm just feeling a bit hot."
Xuan Yin pursed her lips and continued coldly, "Turn your head away. Don't look at me again, or else I'll cut you!"
"Oh?"
"You dare to threaten me?" Lu Xun chuckled and said, "But you know, one good trait of mine is that I'm very receptive to advice. Alright, I'm going back to my room to cultivate. Oh, and don't forget to come to my place to study later at the rooster hour. Today, we will learn two poems."
"Then, I'm leaving."
Lu Xun silently stood up, carrying the big sword gifted by the big demoness, and slowly walked toward the inner courtyard. But after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the blushing little demoness. He said gently, "Wife, you look so beautiful today."
"…"
"Hmph!"
"Is it any of your business whether I look good or not?" Xuan Yin snorted coldly, a touch of pride passing through her crimson, cold, and pretty face. She said indifferently, "Do I need you to wake me up if I'm good-looking? Don't I know it myself?"
Tsk, tsk, tsk. This little demoness is getting more and more interesting, and of course, the big demoness is also quite interesting.
Lu Xun didn't say much, he simply left the hall, leaving her sitting there alone.
After he left, Xuan Yin let out a sigh, raising her hands to gently hold her cheeks. She could clearly feel a wave of scorching heat coming from her palms, and couldn't help but feel a bit confused. I'm a cold-blooded snake python, why is my face so hot?
By the way, he shouldn't have noticed, right? I secretly applied a bit of the rouge he gave me, um, he shouldn't have noticed.
Just then,
Lu Xun poked his head back in, looking softly at Xuan Yin sitting on the chair, and said, "Wife."
Ah…
Xuan Yin was startled, her whole body shivering. She turned her head abruptly, glaring at him with wide open eyes, and said angrily, "What are you coming back for?"
"Do you have some free time?"
"Take me to the nearest town. I want to get a scabbard for this sword," Lu Xun said, "I usually like carrying the sword, but this one is so long that if I accidentally poke my butt, I'll be in trouble. So…"
Xuan Yin furrowed her eyebrows. Though she was reluctant deep down, seeing his pitiful appearance made her somewhat unable to bear it. She said impatiently, "A scabbard is used to protect the sword blade, but you want to use it to protect your butt."Ch𝒆ck for 𝒏ew st𝒐ries on novelbin(.)c0m
With that, she stood up and said casually, "Today I don't have much to do, so I'll take you."
"Thank you, wife."
"I'll also buy some kitchen utensils and seasonings. Eating bland grilled meat every day is making me sick." Lu Xun complained about their situation here as he followed Xuan Yin's swaying and rounded hips, strolling into the courtyard.
"Give me the sword." Xuan Yin extended her little hand to him, expressionless.
"Oh."
Lu Xun obediently handed over the Meteor Star Sword in his hand. As he was about to retract his hand, the mischievous him lightly traced his pinky finger on the palm of the little demoness's hand, not only touching her hand but also brushing against the most vulnerable area deep inside her heart.
Damn it!
He… he's teasing me again!
Xuan Yin glared at him fiercely, but waves of emotions surged inside her heart.
Chanting the spell for sword control, the Meteor Star Sword floated up, and Xuan Yin stepped on the blade. She glanced at the Daoist beside her and coldly said, "Get on quickly."
"Coming, coming."
Lu Xun sat on the blade, hugging the slender leg of the little demoness. He suddenly wrinkled his forehead and asked in confusion, "Wife, since you're wearing a skirt, why are you also wearing pants underneath?"
"Shut up!"
"None of your business!"
Xuan Yin replied with a black face, annoyed.
Immediately after, with a whoosh, she flew away with Lu Xun.
….
In a town located a hundred miles away.
Xuan Yin accompanied Lu Xun as they wandered around the marketplace. She deliberately wore a white veil to avoid being stared at by those men due to her appearance, but her graceful and elegant demeanor still shone brightly among the crowd.
"Selling candied hawthorn, delicious and sweet candied haws—"
The crisp and loud cries of the candied hawthorn seller instantly caught Xuan Yin's attention. She looked at the string of sugar-coated haws, and a faint desire flashed in her eyes. After hesitating for a while, she gently tugged at Lu Xun's sleeve.
"Um, I want to eat candied haws," Xuan Yin said softly.
"Candied haws?"
Lu Xun was taken aback for a moment, then looked towards the vendor selling them and smiled, "Alright, you stay here, I'll go buy some for you."
As he finished speaking, he hurriedly ran over.
Watching his departing figure, Xuan Yin lightly bit her cherry lips. A slight trace of tenderness appeared on her cold and charming face. In fact, putting aside those obvious flaws, he really was not bad. He was gentle, obedient, and most importantly… most importantly…Thinking of this, Xuan Yin's face turned red, and her eyes carried a hint of softness.
Hmph! Being handsome and having a robust physique, it's nothing… nothing at all! Even his gentleness and obedience comes and goes; many times he's even more mischievous than the little fox.
In a short while, Lu Xun returned with three strings of sugar-coated haws and handed one to the aloof little demoness.
"Do you want two strings?" the curious Xuan Yin asked as she received the candied haw.
"Just one," Lu Xun replied seriously, "The other string is for your master. While we are out here in the market, your master is left all alone in the mountains. Don't you think… it's a bit cruel to her?"
"I… I…"
Xuan Yin blushed in embarrassment and lowered her head. Her heart felt like a myriad of ants crawling, and she murmured, "Then, please also buy some sour date cakes. My master loves sour date cakes the most."
