Chapter 34: It's Time To Read
A heavy melancholy appeared on Immortal Miao Feng's mature and charming face. She realized that she had gotten herself into a very dangerous situation, and it was all because of her, inviting this wolf into the house. This had ultimately led to the current situation, a situation that left her deeply troubled and distressed.
Thinking about this, she glanced at the candied hawthorn and sour date cakes on the table. An indescribable emotion surged within her. Upon careful consideration, she realized that this was probably the first time someone had thought about her. Although his intentions weren't entirely pure, this feeling of being remembered by someone was quite comforting and gratifying.
"Ah…"
"Xuan Yin, Xuan Shi, your Master dotes on you so much, yet you are still not as good as that… that Lu Xun." Immortal Miao Feng sighed deeply, her brows showing a hint of bitterness. Blaming the little demoness and the little fox in her heart, she delicately unveiled her alluring, shapely form from beneath the covers. She stepped out of the bed with her two slender, fair legs and stepped onto the floor, rising and departing from her resting place.
Her steps were slow and light, and with each stride, her curvaceous hips swayed slightly. The ample chest wrapped in silk felt even more playful. Soon, she arrived at the table and sat down gracefully.
With her slender fingers, she delicately picked up a piece of sour date cake and brought it to her rosy lips. As the sweet and sour flavors swept over her taste buds, a faint trace of satisfaction flashed across Immortal Miao Feng's face.
Although he saw me in a disheveled state, it's all thanks his consideration. For the sake of the sour date cake, I'll spare his life for now. If he dares to be so audacious again in the future, I will make him regret it, even if Xuan Yin pleads for him!
While eating the sour date cake, Immortal Miao Feng's mind wandered, lost in her thoughts. Before she knew it, she had finished all the date cakes, leaving only the two candied haws. The big demoness, who was slightly addicted to the taste, picked up one of the candied haws and gently bit into the top piece.
Hmm, this is also very sweet.
In Immortal Miao Feng's hands, the two candied hawthorns didn't last long, and in the blink of an eye, all that remained were the empty bamboo sticks. Satisfied, the big demoness got up gracefully and went to the wardrobe, where she found a white and pink silk dress. Then, with her jade-like fingers, she grasped the waistband of the silk dress. As the silk dress draped over her, it seemed to lose control and slid down along her shoulders, gradually revealing her figure.
…
"Knock, knock, knock—"
Immortal Miao Feng arrived at Xuan Yin's door and gently knocked, softly saying, "Xuan Yin, it's me."
In no time, the door was opened from the inside, and Xuan Yin stood at the doorway, looking at her Master with curiosity, "Master, what brings you here?"
"Can't I come to see you when there's nothing else to do?" Immortal Miao Feng looked at her and asked leisurely.
"It's not that. I… I…" Xuan Yin gently pursed her lips, quickly stepping aside, and said, "Master, please come in."
The two demonesses sat at a table without saying much to each other. Compared to Immortal Miao Feng's calm and composed demeanor, Xuan Yin seemed a bit nervous. Normally, her Master rarely came to her room unless she had caused a major catastrophe.
"Today…"
"You and Lu Xun went to the small market outside?" Immortal Miao Feng put down the teacup in her hand and asked softly.
"Yes…"
"It's a small market about a hundred miles away," Xuan Yin bit her lip and explained hesitantly, "You gave him a Meteor Star Sword, but it didn't have a scabbard. He usually likes to carry the sword, but without a scabbard, it's easy to hurt himself if he accidentally falls on it. So, I accompanied him to buy a scabbard and we also took the opportunity to explore the market."
Immortal Miao Feng nodded her head and casually said, "I see, that's how it is."
"Master!"
"Please rest assured!" Xuan Yin interrupted her, speaking earnestly, "It was just a small market, and no one there would know that I'm a demon."
"…"
"You don't have to be nervous. Master didn't come here for that matter." Immortal Miao Feng smiled at her and said gently, "In the past, you rarely left the house, and now that you occasionally go out, Master is happy for you. If you want to go out with him in the future, there's no need to tell me. You two can go directly."
Hearing these words, Xuan Yin suddenly panicked, staring directly at her Master with a nervous expression, and asked, "Master, are you… are you saying you don't want me anymore?"
"You, silly girl…"
"How could Master not want you?" Immortal Miao Feng smiled, "Although we're not true master and disciple, nor true mother and daughter, from the moment I took you in, I have regarded you as my own family. You and Xuan Shi are the most important people to me in this world. As long as you and Xuan Shi are willing to stay by my side, I will never drive you both away."
"Master…"
Xuan Yin pulled a chair and sat directly next to her, hugging one of Immortal Miao Feng's arms, pressing her body tightly against her and resting her head on her shoulder, affectionately saying, "Master, I will never leave you in this lifetime. I believe little fox will feel the same. We will always stay by your side."
At this moment, a ripple of emotions surged in Immortal Miao Feng's heart as she touched Xuan Yin's head, her face filled with tenderness. "Xuan Yin."
"Did you tell Lu Xun about the sour date cake?" Immortal Miao Feng suddenly asked.
"Yes."
"We were at the market, and when we saw they were selling candied hawthorns, he bought four strings of them," Xuan Yin murmured against her Master, "At first, I thought they were all for me to eat, but he only gave me two strings. The other two… were for you to taste."
With a hint of guilt evident on Xuan Yin's face, she continued, "To make up for my guilt towards you, I asked him to buy some more sour date cake for you."
"Master, did he give it to you?"
"He already shared the candied haws and sour date cake with me," Immortal Miao Feng pursed her lips and said coyly, "If anything like this happens again, you should personally give them to me."
"Understood, Master." Xuan Yin replied softly.
Immortal Miao Feng touched Xuan Yin's head, her brow furrowing with helplessness and worry. Xuan Yin was so innocent, how could she be a match for Lu Xun? That brat was full of tricks, and Xuan Yin couldn't handle him. Not to mention, she herself had trouble dealing with him and ended up being touched by him and seen in a disheveled state.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, breaking the warm atmosphere in the room.
"Wife?"
