Chapter 37: So Strong!
Chapter 37: So Strong!
With no defense, Xuan Yin was caught off guard by Lu Xun, and she stumbled into his strong and solid arms. With a great impact, both of them fell to the ground. Compared to Xuan Yin lying on top of him, Lu Xun felt more miserable, yet he also felt a sense of happiness.
"Mmm—"
A muffled breath escaped from Xuan Yin's lips. She felt a bit suffocated in his chest. At this moment, their posture was quite ambiguous. Her curvaceous figure pressed tightly against him, and her alluring face was close to his chest. One of her fair and tender hands rested against his firm chest.
In the dark night, as the drizzle fell on their bodies, they maintained their fallen position. An indescribable sentiment slowly fermented between them. Xuan Yin smelled a masculine scent from him, which slowly invaded her rationality. Her cheeks on both sides turned extremely red, and her gaze began to become bewildered.
No, this can't go on any longer. She felt like she was losing control of her desires and was becoming more and more inclined to be affectionate with him.
Xuan Yin struggled to resist the restlessness in her body and a strong impulse. She bit her lips, even drawing blood, but her effort paid off as she finally gained a bit of clarity. However, though her consciousness returned, her body was still unable to move.
"Wife, you smell so good," Lu Xun's low and magnetic voice hovered near Xuan Yin's ear. Each word seemed to carry a magical power, deeply imprinting in the most delicate and soft part of her heart.
"You, you…"
"Let me down quickly!" Xuan Yin's watery eyes stared straight at him, looking at the man who was pressed beneath her.
"I say, wife, it's actually you pressing down on me," Lu Xun said with an innocent look. "You should get off me first."
"I…!"
Xuan Yin tightly bit her red lips and stammered, "I, I…"
The cold and aloof little demoness kept trying to say something but couldn't manage to complete a coherent sentence. Breathing heavily, her eyes showed a mix of embarrassment, resistance, and bewilderment. The two of them stayed in their awkward position on the ground. Finally, Xuan Yin mustered up some strength and carefully propped herself up with both hands on the ground.
However, just as Lu Xun lying on the ground saw Xuan Yin about to get off him, he cunningly pulled her back again.
"Ah—"
Xuan Yin's graceful body was once again pressed against him.
"Lu! Xun!"
"You… I'm going to kill you!" Xuan Yin raised her head, her anger reaching its peak as she glared at him. Her fierce gaze seemed as if she could swallow him alive.
"Alright, alright. I was just teasing you. Why are you so worked up?" Lu Xun chuckled playfully. "Get up now. I promise not to play tricks on you again. You can trust me, I swear on my integrity."
Xuan Yin pouted and found it hard to fully trust his words. Nonetheless, she tried to get up from him. As she slowly propped herself up, she kept her sharp gaze fixed on him and coldly warned, "If you dare to play tricks on me again, you'll pay the price!"
"Got it."
Lu Xun understood her temperament quite well. She was a bit spoiled and sometimes a little unreasonable, but at the same time, she was very innocent. Despite having lived for nearly four hundred years, she still had some childlike qualities.
Safely off him, Xuan Yin was already soaked through by the rain. Her waist-length white dress became transparent, revealing a mischievous red bellyband inside.
"Ah—"
"No, don't look!" Embarrassed by her appearance, Xuan Yin hurriedly covered her chest and ran in haste to her room, leaving Lu Xun lying on the ground.
This little demoness… Why is she so shy? In the end, she will be mine.
Lu Xun stood up from the ground and picked up the oil-paper umbrella. He leisurely walked towards her room and gently knocked on the door. "Why don't we both go to the hot spring together?"
However, there was no response from inside.
After a while, Lu Xun knocked on the door again and called softly, "Wife~?"
"Squeak—"
Xuan Yin opened her room door. She had changed into a new waist-length dress and saw the soaked Lu Xun in front of her. She glared at him with dissatisfaction. "Why are you rushing me?"
"I thought you went without me," Lu Xun smiled and said seriously, "If you don't take a bath after getting soaked in the rain, you might get sick. Let's go to the hot spring together."
"Demons won't get sick, and besides…"
Xuan Yin said coldly, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I'm telling you, forget about it!" With those words, she took out an umbrella from behind.
"Let's go."
"I'll take you there, and then you can come back on your own." As she spoke, Xuan Yin opened the umbrella and walked ahead without caring about Lu Xun.
"What? Didn't you say you didn't have an umbrella? Where did you this from?" Lu Xun asked, looking puzzled.
"Mind your own business!" Xuan Yin said irritably.
On this drizzly night, they walked down the mountain, each holding their own umbrella, strolling on the stone steps. They didn't exchange words, and it was so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing.
…
Not far from the foot of the mountain, there were indeed several natural hot springs, and next to them was a simple wooden cabin, probably a place for the three female demons to change clothes.
"This one is my master's pool, this one is mine, and that one belongs to Xuan Shi. Oh, that one is yours."
Xuan Yin pointed to several hot springs, then gestured towards another hot spring with steaming water. She turned her head to look at Lu Xun and said, "Don't be foolish enough to soak in any of these three pools. If we find out, we'll skin you alive!"
"This…. It's so small, isn't it?"
"Why does it feel like it's prepared for children?" Lu Xun looked at the hot spring designated for him and cautiously said to her, "How about I soak in your pool? After all, we'll be sharing the same bed in the future."
"You dare!" Xuan Yin glared at him and said coldly, "If you dare to dirty my pool, I'll kill you."
"Alright, alright."
"Why do you always talk about fighting and killing? Can't you be gentle for once?" Lu Xun rolled his eyes and looked at the small wooden cabin nearby, saying irritably, "Am I also not allowed to use that small wooden cabin?"
"Um…"
"Inside, there are things belonging to me, my master, and the little fox. Anyway, you can't go in!" Xuan Yin replied.
"Fine."
"If you don't want me to go, then I won't."
Lu Xun walked to his designated pool and was about to take off his clothes when he turned to the little demoness behind him and asked, "If I take them off, do you want to watch?"
"Who, who wants to watch!"
"I'm going back!"
Holding the umbrella, Xuan Yin walked back in the original direction. However, after a few steps, she turned her head slightly, stealing a glance.
Oh my, he looks so strong, so well-built!
At that moment, Lu Xun also turned his head to look at Xuan Yin.
By the side of the hot spring on a rainy night, the shy demoness and the well-built young man locked eyes.
