There’s Something Wrong With These Demonic Women!

Su Jingyi's inexplicable words left the stunning mature woman, who was lying on the bamboo chair, stunned. Her eyes showed a mix of surprise and unpreparedness, and the words on the tip of her tongue hesitated briefly before being swallowed back.

"Any woman would feel lonely," the woman chuckled, elegantly picked up a plum and brought it to her lips, muttering, "Why are you suddenly asking me this question? Are you trying to introduce a man to me?"

Su Jingyi turned around, looking at the mature woman on the bamboo chair, "I was just asking casually, no other meaning behind it."

"Casually asking? When have you ever asked casually? It must be because you encountered something that left you greatly perplexed in your heart. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to me without rhyme or reason, leaving behind such strange words," the woman looked at Su Jingyi, who was dressed in a Taoist robe and holding a staff in her hand. She knew well what kind of figure was hidden under that robe, after all, they had slept together.

Perplexed indeed. The image of him kissing the demoness and his strong and robust body had been lingering in Su Jingyi's mind. She pursed her lips and didn't say much, silently walked to her side and sat down on a chair, casually asking, "How have you been recently?"

"Pretty much the same," the woman sighed, gently pinched her own waist, and grumbled to herself, "I feel like I've gained a lot of weight. There used to be no fat on my waist, but now there's a bit."

Su Jingyi glanced at the generous bosom that was propped up and replied indifferently, "Don't stay at home every day. It's good to go out when you have the time."

"It's not interesting."

The woman pursed her lips and picked up another plum. She said leisurely, "Going in and out all the time is the same. It's better to stay at home unless the little fox comes to find me. That's interesting. But Miao Fengxian, she won't let the little fox come down the mountain easily."

"Miao Fengxian has been quite busy lately," Su Jingyi muttered, "She's living quite a comfortable life now, even more comfortable than the two of us."

"Huh?"

"What's wrong with her?" The woman looked at her curiously, looking at her friend beside her, and urgently asked, "Could it be that she has a man now? That's impossible, right? Any man who sees the thousand-year-old demoness Miao Feng would be scared out of their wits. How could she possibly have a man?"

Why couldn't she have a man? Her little lover had an extraordinary amount of courage. Su Jingyi lightly pursed her lips, shaking her head to deny, "Don't guess randomly. If she finds out, she might come over with a sword. It would be troublesome then."

"You'll protect me," the woman said with a soft smile, "I'm not afraid."

As soon as she finished speaking, the mature woman sat up, pushed the fruit platter next to Su Jingyi, and said gently, "These are the Western Region fruits gifted by Prince Cheng. Try them."

Su Jingyi frowned slightly, looking slightly puzzled as she questioned, "He's not giving up on you yet? You've been avoiding him."

"Who said my charm was fading?" The mature woman shrugged, smiling sweetly, "Even if I became a widow, at my age, there's still a group of admirers outside, including some promising young men. Sigh, those young men, I could be their mother, yet they're infatuated with me."

Her words carried a hint of playfulness and even a touch of smugness. After all, as a woman, especially an older single woman, having a multitude of admirers was something she took pleasure in. It was a testament to her beauty and figure.

"Most of them haven't even seen you; they've only heard of you," Su Jingyi said lightly. "You shouldn't tease me with these words. You know I'm not interested in men, and besides, those admirers of yours, if I'm not mistaken, are just tools for delivering gifts to you. The key point is that you take their gifts but keep the doors closed to them."

"I'm not as bad as you say," the mature woman rolled her eyes, saying irritably, "I've had my maids send back some priceless items, leaving behind various kinds of food. Of course, I didn't just eat for free; I gave my maids some silver. But these stubborn men won't accept it. What can I do?"

Su Jingyi lightly bit her lip and asked softly, "Have you ever thought about finding a man?"

"…"

"I've noticed you're a bit strange, always asking me if I want a man. What does that have to do with you?" The mature woman with charm glanced at Su Jingyi beside her, suddenly a startling idea flashed through her mind. She asked with a coy voice, "Could it be that you're feeling lonely?"

Su Jingyi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she replied coldly, "Don't talk nonsense. How could I possibly be lonely?"

"Why couldn't you be?"

"Don't think just because you're hailed as the fairy beauty of the era and everyone reveres you, you're not a woman who can feel lonely and in need of a man's care," the woman said with a smile, her eyes brimming with laughter. "You may appear strong on the surface and keep people at a distance, but in reality, when you tear away that mask of yours, there's nothing but a blazing fire of desire burning inside."

Su Jingyi snorted coldly, "You're becoming cruder and cruder. If the men in the world knew that Lady Crescent Moon is like this, they would probably be greatly disappointed."

"No need to pretend," the mature woman smiled charmingly. "Jingyi, are you secretly craving a man?"

"No."

Su Jingyi replied indifferently, "I didn't in the past, I don't now, and I won't in the future."

"Is that so?"

The woman scrutinized her carefully, observing her friend, and said meaningfully, "Although I have no evidence, it's just my intuition. I feel like you might have some feelings for a certain man. But you're not sure yet. You don't know what this longing in your mind is, so you came all the way from the capital to ask me if I feel lonely. In fact, you're looking for an answer for yourself."

"Am I right?"

"Who is he? Is he handsome? Charming? Strong? Young? Is he also a practitioner like you?" The woman suddenly became curious and threw out a series of questions at Su Jingyi, her face filled with eagerness and curiosity.

Su Jingyi's expression showed a hint of displeasure, and she said icily, "I'll say it again, I don't have a man."

"Hmph!"

"You always get impatient after just a few words," the mature woman rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Can't you change that foul temper of yours? What if you scare your lover away?"

Su Jingyi lightly frowned and ignored the woman beside her. Instead, she looked at the nearby artificial mountain and, after a long pause, said in a leisurely tone, "You haven't answered my question."

"Do I get lonely? What do you think?" The mature woman pouted, lying back in her bamboo chair, her elegant nightgown accentuating her ample bosom. She spoke softly, "Occasionally, maybe. But I don't know who to turn to. Aside from my maids who serve me, there's only you and Xuan Shi."

Su Jingyi glanced at the lazy woman beside her and asked in a calm tone, "There's a type of man who is affectionate, playful, a bit roguish, and yet handsome and charming. Do women like this type of man?"

The woman raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in her eyes. She replied casually, "Playful and a bit roguish probably mean he's funny. Handsome and witty men like that naturally win the hearts of women. As for being affectionate…"

"All men are lascivious; they can't control themselves when they see an attractive woman," the woman said nonchalantly. "It's a common ailment among men, and it can't be cured with medicine. The only remedy is to discipline them by other means. In any case, the man you mentioned, he sounds good."

As she finished speaking, she glanced at Su Jingyi from the corner of her eye and continued, "It would be even better if you could introduce him to me."

Bringing him to meet you? I'm afraid the demoness will fight me to death. Su Jingyi pursed her lips and replied calmly. "There is no such man. I was just asking casually. Don't take it to heart, and don't think too much. I don't feel like I'm lonely."

Tsk tsk. Look at you, trying to convince me that you're not lonely.

The woman smiled and picked up a plum, saying softly, "Jingyi, some things can't wait. The longer you wait, the more dreams you'll have in the night."

Su Jingyi instantly understood her words and picked up a plum from the fruit plate, saying lightly, "Instead of worrying about me, you should think more about yourself. If you continue to be lazy like this, I think you might just get fat."

"…"

"Hey!"

The mature woman suddenly sat up, glaring at her fiercely. Her chest heaved as she said angrily, "You don't need to be so hurtful!"

"I'm just stating the facts." Su Jingyi glanced at her infuriated friend, a faint curve appearing at the corner of her mouth.

"Hmph!" The woman pouted and retorted, "You're even worse than Miao Fengxian, I think."

"You've never met her," Su Jingyi said casually. "Besides, she killed your husband."

"Husband? That was just a karmic connection I couldn't resist," the mature woman said coldly. "If Miao Fengxian hadn't killed him, I would have taken my own life. That wretched emperor used my family to threaten me, forcing me to marry a man I didn't like. He deserves a gruesome end."

"So, what kind of man do you like?" Su Jingyi asked unexpectedly.

The woman paused for a moment, then couldn't help but smile mischievously. "I like the kind of man you like."

Su Jingyi rolled her eyes at her and looked at the widow who had been lonely for over twenty years. She said somewhat irritably, "Then you'll be lonely forever."

"Is that so?" The woman looked provocatively at Su Jingyi and said meaningfully, "Jingyi, you better not fall for a man. If I find out, I'll definitely steal him away."
