There’s Something Wrong With These Demonic Women!

"Tap, tap, tap."

Lu Xun hurriedly ran out of his room, putting on his clothes as he descended the stairs. He almost slipped on the steps but managed to regain his balance. This commotion also disturbed the inn's attendants who were setting up downstairs.

"Sir, what's happening?" A young attendant looked at Lu Xun with a cautious inquiry.

"Just going for a walk, getting some fresh air," Lu Xun replied.

The attendant was puzzled. "You mean you want to go outside?"

"Yes. What's the matter?" Lu Xun asked, confused.

"Oh, sir! It's not safe to go out at night now!" The attendant exclaimed in panic. "The entire capital is under curfew. After midnight, if you're caught wandering on the streets, you could be arrested and even executed on the spot."

Lu Xun frowned and contemplated, "Was the commotion just now caused by soldiers patrolling the streets?"

"Yes, yes, that's right," the attendant nodded, leaning closer to Lu Xun, and whispered, "Recently, there was an assassination attempt on the current crown prince. Although he wasn't hurt, it enraged the emperor. He ordered strict investigations and imposed a curfew. Everyone knows it was the second prince's doing."

Speaking of this, the attendant lowered his voice even further and said to Lu Xun, "It's all for the sake of sitting on the dragon throne."

Indeed, people always liked such things. As a former group admin of several groups, Lu Xun could relate. Except people in the group could be banned, while this would result in beheading.

"No worries. I'm just going nearby for a casual stroll and some fresh air. Nothing will happen,"

Lu Xun didn't pay much attention to the so-called curfew. Ignoring the attendant's warnings, he proceeded to the door. The attendant, realizing he couldn't dissuade the stubborn guest, opened the door for him silently.

"Sir, please don't go too far. If you hear any disturbances, find shelter in a nearby alley and go as deep as possible," the attendant cautioned.

Lu Xun nodded and tipped the attendant with some silver.

Walking alone on the bustling streets, a cool breeze brushed against his face, ruffling his hair. It also seemed to disperse the grievance he felt at the big demoness.

What to do? He hadn't even made significant progress yet, and he already felt overwhelmed. His situation had been pathetic, not at all like a protagonist who casually gets stronger. He couldn't help but be disheartened.

My dream of co-sleeping in a big bed seems so distant!

"Sigh," Lu Xun sighed. "Could it be that I can't even handle the little fox?" In his mind, he pictured Xuan Shi, her petite and cute figure, her lovely face, giving off the aura of the girl next door. But beneath that innocent appearance, there was a hint of seduction, a unique charm inherited from the Nine-Tailed Fox clan.

Maybe, just maybe, he really couldn't handle her. Despite her small and delicate frame, it seemed like there was immense power hidden within her.

He lifted his head to gaze at the bright moon overhead. The moonlight illuminated his face, perfectly matching his melancholic mood.

"Drip, drip."

Just as Lu Xun was lamenting the unfairness of fate, he heard hurried footsteps in the distance on the street. It was the sound of a single person running.

Without hesitation, he quickly darted into an alleyway.

After a short while, a young monk rushed by, carrying someone on his shoulder, wrapped in cloth. Although the person was concealed, Lu Xun, with his experience of wandering the martial world, could tell there was a person inside, and most likely, it was a woman.

A monk? A woman? In the middle of the night?

Lu Xun curled his lips and silently followed them.

They arrived at a dilapidated courtyard, and the monk, still carrying the woman, slipped inside discreetly.

"Master? Master?" The young monk stood in the courtyard, calling out softly.

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows, a middle-aged monk.

"Master, I've found one for you," the young monk said respectfully. "She's a virgin."

As the words fell, he gently laid the woman he was carrying on the ground.

"Good, good, good!" The middle-aged monk looked at the woman on the ground. Her figure was average, her appearance plain, but he showed no signs of disdain. He said with satisfaction, "Once I refine her with my divine technique, I will achieve great success. Then, I'll strike back at the Buddhist sect. It's just a matter of time!"

"Master, you're mighty!" The young monk stood by, enthusiastically flattering him.

Ignoring the flattery, the middle-aged monk silently picked up the young woman from the ground and walked toward a dilapidated house. He instructed, "You stay here and keep watch for me. Don't let anyone approach this place."

"Yes!" The young monk nodded eagerly.

After a while, the courtyard was filled with the sound of miserable cries, but it soon fell silent again. The young monk turned his head and looked back with a hint of excitement and anticipation.

Has Master succeeded?

"Who!"

"Who's over there?"

The young monk suddenly turned towards the courtyard gate, and at the same time, a faint golden light emanated from his body.

"Don't panic. It's me," Lu Xun emerged from the shadows, standing at the courtyard gate. He spoke with a serious tone, "I just happened to pass by."

Passing by?

Who are you trying to fool!

The young monk looked at Lu Xun. He looked dignified but not that serious. Moreover, his appearance coincided precisely with the moment when Master was about to achieve his success. This couldn't be a coincidence. This person was up to no good!

Without further thought, the young monk moved in an instant. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Lu Xun and launched a powerful punch towards his forehead.

"Watch my move!"

"Powerful Arhat Vajra Fist!"

This punch was fierce and powerful, seemingly capable of delivering a deadly blow.

Lu Xun, however, stood there motionless, calmly observing the young monk in front of him.

"Pffft…"

Before the young monk's punch could reach Lu Xun's face, he froze in place. His powerful strike was suspended in mid-air, mere inches away from Lu Xun's face.

The young monk touched his abdomen and realized his hands were covered in blood. It was only then that he became aware that he had been stabbed with a dagger.

"In the next life, don't announce your moves."

Lu Xun withdrew his dagger from the young monk's abdomen and then thrust it towards his neck.

Thud!

The young monk collapsed, falling into a pool of his own blood.

Lu Xun sighed, then entered the courtyard. However, as soon as he opened the door, a ghostly figure emerged, accompanied by a powerful surge of bloody energy.

The middle-aged monk had transformed completely. His pupils glowed with an eerie red light, and his robe was stained dark red with blood, emitting a foul stench.

"You… did you kill him?"

The middle-aged monk, his face twisted in a grimace, looked at the fallen young monk with anger mixed with a hint of delight. Just as he had achieved mastery in his divine technique, someone unafraid of death had arrived, allowing him to use him as an experiment to see how powerful he would become after the blood sacrifice.

Without waiting for Lu Xun to reply, the monk transformed into a shadow and pounced on him.

Lu Xun, still unmoving, stood there in a daze. His foolish behavior amused the middle-aged monk, who was now filled with excitement and anticipation.

Finally, I've mastered the Blood Phantom Body Technique. Who in this world can be my opponent? Su Jingyi, the renowned immortal of this era? Or the millennia-old demon, Immortal Miao Feng?

"Hmph! Petty tricks, daring to play with the lion's den."

Originally, Lu Xun had been prepared to call for reinforcements, but instead, he used his full strength, concentrating it into his right arm. He then threw a punch directly at the middle-aged monk's face.

Crack—

The sound of bones shattering echoed as the middle-aged monk's head was smashed by Lu Xun's punch.

Lu Xun pursed his lips and entered the house. As he opened the door, a pungent stench overwhelmed him. This wasn't just a room; it was practically a slaughterhouse. In the center of the room, there was a bathtub filled not with clear water, but with blood.

Lu Xun didn't dare linger and quickly ran out. He stood in the courtyard, panting heavily, and looked at the two monks. He regretted not torturing them slowly.

In the end, he was too kind-hearted.

"Sister didn't lie to me. The waters of the capital indeed run deep," Lu Xun muttered to himself as he glanced at the room behind him. "It's just too scary."

Before leaving, he followed his usual practice and searched their bodies. From the young monk's body, he found a substantial amount of gold coins. After some contemplation, he decided to keep them for now. In the morning, he would distribute the gold to the parents of the victimized women as a small consolation. As for how to find out the addresses, he just needed to inquire with the local magistrate about recent missing persons cases.

Of course, he couldn't go alone; he needed someone to accompany him. Yes, it would be Zhao Yueyan.

After emptying the young monk's pockets, Lu Xun began searching the middle-aged monk's body. Compared to the young monk's wealth, the middle-aged monk was much poorer, not even having a single copper coin.

"Hmm?"

"What's this?"

Lu Xun felt two books under the moonlight and glanced at their covers.

——"Record of the Tastes of Noble Women in the Capital"

——"Learn Invincible Iron Crotch Technique from Scratch"

Lu Xun returned to the inn, had the innkeeper prepare a bucket of hot water, and enjoyed a refreshing bath. Then, he slowly climbed the stairs.

He reached the door of a certain guest room and lightly knocked, calling out from outside, "Sister, I'm back."

After a moment, with a creak, the door slowly opened.

Immortal Miao Feng, dressed in a new sleeping robe that covered her body thoroughly, glared at Lu Xun with a face full of grievances and annoyance. "Why did you come back?"

"I heard that there's an overwhelming resentment here!" Lu Xun furrowed his brows, speaking earnestly, "I've specially come to dissipate it."

The big demoness almost laughed, grabbed Lu Xun by the collar, and pulled him inside.

"Young Daoist."

"I've been waiting for you a long time!"
