There’s Something Wrong With These Demonic Women!

Immortal Miao Feng gently chewed on the sweet and sour cake, a wave of sweetness flooding the deepest part of her heart. The sour date cake she had been eating for centuries had never been as sweet and delightful as today. Her entire being was almost overwhelmed by the sugary treat in her mouth.

As the big demoness swallowed the cake, Lu Xun once again offered her a fresh piece. She froze momentarily. She had only taken a bite before, so why was he giving her a whole piece? Where did the other half go?

… Did he eat it?

If he had thrown it away, it wouldn't have been a big deal. But if he had eaten it, then… this. She bit the part that had now entered his mouth. Wouldn't that be like an indirect kiss?

"I… I just ate half of it," the big demoness turned her head away, casting a cold glance at him from the corner of her eye, her voice tinged with suspicion.

"I'll eat the rest," Lu Xun answered truthfully.

As expected!

This… this shameless little thief!

Even though she had anticipated this outcome, when she heard him confess it himself, a sense of shame swept over her. Her cheeks flushed instantly, as if she were drunk, and her eyes showed confusion.

"I've noticed that the sour date cakes you've eaten taste even sweeter." Lu Xun leaned close to her ear, his voice gentle. "Sister, when will you let me taste yours… ahem."

Immortal Miao Feng's grip on Lu Xun's thigh tightened mercilessly. Her cultivation that had accumulated for a thousand years and her strength almost tore the flesh off his thigh. He begged for mercy in a bitter tone, "I was wrong, I was wrong. Don't pinch anymore, or I'll die."

"Hmph!"

Immortal Miao Feng snorted coldly, saying in a low voice. "Death would be best. It would save me from being bothered by you every day."

After speaking, she slightly parted her lips and gently bit off a piece of the cake. As she chewed, she warned the little thief beside her, "Throw the remaining half into the river. It's not allowed to enter your mouth."

Hearing her command, Lu Xun smacked his lips and threw the cake into his own mouth.

"You!"

Immortal Miao Feng was so furious that she felt like exploding, but despite her anger, she didn't take any action. She sat there, glaring at him with furious eyes, and then proceeded to ignore this shameless and absurd man. She was engrossed in admiring the bustling city under the night sky, all while enjoying the continuous supply of sour date cakes being handed to her.

The little thief might be a bit annoying, either causing trouble or just getting out of it, but… it couldn't be denied that he was truly gentle and considerate. The question was whether this gentleness was exclusively for her, or if it was something he shared with Xuan Yin.

Immortal Miao Feng's eyes gradually began to blur. Her thoughts ran wild, a storm of emotions swirling within her. In the midst of her heart's turmoil, there was a tinge of sourness and bitterness. She hoped that the gentleness of the little thief was meant for her alone. However, it was clear that he was sharing his tenderness and consideration with Xuan Yin as well.

He surely treats Xuan Yin more tenderly than me. I'm probably just a small fraction in his heart.

Suddenly, the big demoness felt a sense of irritation and a touch of reluctance. If it were based on the order of meeting, she had known him earlier than Xuan Yin, right? Yet, she couldn't help but blame this shameless little thief for all this. He had Xuan Yin and still came to flirt with her, and what's more, it worked.

It seems that the effects of the Calamity Fruit have become ineffective. Considering it, it's been over a thousand years; I should have developed feelings by now.

With this in mind, the big demoness licked her lips. If… if there was no little thief, would she be attracted to other men?

On this matter, the big demoness quickly found her answer. Besides this little thief by her side, she would never be attracted to any other man. She didn't even know why she was so certain, but the fact remained that he was special—by far the most exceptional man in the world.

"Little thief," the big demoness lightly bit her moist lips and spoke softly.

"Hmm?"

"What is it, Sister?" Lu Xun was currently playing with her hand, and upon hearing her call, he raised his head curiously.

The big demoness pursed her lips, lazily saying, "Over these millennia… I've killed countless people, and most of them were men. Yet, when it comes to you, I don't know how to deal with you. Clearly, you're so shameless and cunning, constantly causing trouble for me. You even openly lust after my body without any restraint. According to reason… you should have long perished under my sword."

At that moment, a hand discreetly slipped through her back and rested on her bare shoulder, gently pulling her into an embrace. A soft voice whispered by her ear, "Thank you, Sister, for sparing me. The little thief can only offer himself in return."

"!!!"

A shiver ran down Immortal Miao Feng's spine as she violently broke free from his embrace. Her face filled with tension as she quickly looked at the little fox at the bow of the ship. Seeing that she hadn't noticed the scene within the cabin, the tense knot in her heart eased, and she turned her head around, glaring at him ferociously. She angrily hissed in a low voice, "Are you insane? The little fox is still up there. Do you want to cause trouble?"

Lu Xun grinned foolishly, his eyes cunning. "So, according to Sister's logic, if there's no one around, I can freely embrace you?"

"I…!"

"Get lost!"

The big demoness stood up and walked towards where Xuan Shi was sitting.

Lu Xun hurriedly grabbed her hand, looking at her imploringly. His voice was soft and tender as he said, "Sister, accompany me…"

Before he could finish his sentence, the big demoness shook off his grasp and left him behind.

Seeing his failed attempt at persuasion, Lu Xun didn't feel regretful. He sat in his spot, enjoying the breeze and contemplating his miserable future. Just then, a voice reached his ears.

"Young Master!"

The boatman at the stern shouted towards Lu Xun, "Come here for a moment."

"Hmm?"

Lu Xun turned his head to look at the old man and furrowed his brows. He said in a measured tone, "You want more money? No way!"

"Young Master, you've misunderstood." The old man manning the oars grinned foolishly and said, "I'm not that kind of person."

After saying this, the old man added, "Young Master, is this your first time here?"

"Yes. Any issues?" Lu Xun asked indifferently.

"Do you know about the top ten courtesans of Yangzhou?" The old man asked with a mysterious smile.

Lu Xun stood up, walked over to the old man handling the oars, and slipped some silver fragments into his pocket. He said seriously, "Tell me all about it."

Seeing Lu Xun's generosity, the old man's heart bloomed with joy. He opened his mouth, and then glanced at the two women at the bow, cautiously asking, "Young Master, forgive me for being nosy, but aren't you afraid of your wife getting angry? Just now, your wife…"

"…"

"What are you talking about?"

Lu Xun's nerve seemed to have been touched as he retorted irritably, "Am I, the head of a family, supposed to fear her? Earlier, she was just upset with me. Once we get back, I'll educate her properly. You… feel free to continue."

"If that's the case… then I'll explain." The old boatman paused for a moment and said meaningfully, "Yangzhou city is a place of fireworks. Many officials, dignitaries, and scholars indulge themselves here. As a result, the legend of Yangzhou's Ten Great Courtesans emerged. Each of these courtesans possesses an appearance that is rarely seen in the world. I was fortunate enough to have seen the ninth-ranked courtesan. Tsk tsk, I haven't forgotten her appearance until now."

Humph. Can anyone be compared to the three women in my family?

Lu Xun wasn't arrogant, but in the world, there were probably very few women who could compare to the three women. After all, the three encompassed all facets of beauty: the mature allure of the big demoness, the youthful simplicity of the little demoness, and the adorable purity of the little fox. Essentially, they had no rivals.

"Oh."

"What's the price?" Lu Xun asked.

"Young Master, you're a bit crass. Matters of elegance and refinement cannot be measured with money." The old boatman chuckled and then replied seriously, "The cheapest one would still cost three thousand taels."

Three… three thousand taels?

Is this brothel run by the imperial court?

Over the following time, Lu Xun gained a comprehensive understanding of the local customs and culture in Yangzhou. He had to admit that the nightlife here was quite vibrant. However, despite its vibrancy, hidden dangers abounded. Leaving aside the masters who hailed from all corners of the world, there were countless officials and influential figures from the court present.

After bidding farewell to the old boatman, Lu Xun returned to the cabin. He had no interest in the so-called Ten Great Courtesans. At best, they were just that. How could they compare to the allure of the female demons in his family? After all, those courtesans wouldn't have forked tongues like his little demoness, nor would they have tails behind their butt. Such a prospect had no appeal.

At the same time, Immortal Miao Feng held the little fox in her arms. The corner of her eye surreptitiously glanced at Lu Xun, with a mix of warmth and anger.

Courtesans… what does the little thief want?

Immortal Miao Feng was well aware of Lu Xun's nature. He was innately fickle and flirtatious. What's more, he was audacious and bold. He wasn't just lusting after her body; he was even willing to act indecently right in front of the little fox. Such a person would undoubtedly sneak out in the middle of the night and indulge in pleasures.

No, no!

If left unattended, there would definitely be a strange woman lying on his body tonight.

The big demoness felt a hint of displeasure and bitterness. If it were Xuan Yin lying on him, Immortal Miao Feng would be slightly bitter at most, but there would be no complaints. However, if it were another woman, there would be a thousand reluctances.

It seems that tonight, I need to pay closer attention to his movements. I can't let him sneak out.

Back at the inn, the little fox went straight to bed, wearing only a small belly wrap and underpants. She quickly slipped into the covers and fell asleep after a while.

Immortal Miao Feng walked to the edge of the bed, carefully observed the little fox, and once she was sure she was truly asleep, she quietly left the guest room. After locking the door, she headed toward Lu Xun's room.

"Knock, knock, knock—"

Immortal Miao Feng rapped on the door and said coldly, "It's me."

In an instant, the door opened, and just as she was about to speak, Lu Xun suddenly seized her hand. Without any warning, the big demoness was embraced by him.

"I knew it."

"Sister, I was sure you would come!"

As he spoke, he lifted the bewildered big demoness and hastily made his way towards the bed.
