There’s Something Wrong With These Demonic Women!

The former Su Jingyi would have scoffed at the idea of surrendering herself so willingly, especially after witnessing Miao Fengxian's similar actions. However, fate is fickle, and even she ended up walking this path of no return, which was more thorough than Miao Fengxian's. She even planned to let him have her body entirely.

Upon hearing her best friend's confession, the widow Mu Qingshuang remained unfazed, her expression betraying no trace of surprise. It was as if everything was taken for granted, and she casually said, "You're already so full of youthful vigor. What are you waiting for? If it were me, I'd have devoured him last night."

Immersed in the warm pool, Su Jingyi couldn't help but roll her eyes at her, "You're well aware of my predicament. If he only had me in his heart, I would definitely make that choice. But his heart belongs to another woman, and that's what worries me."

"Are you worried that he'll toy with your feelings? Afraid he'll heartlessly discard you? I think it's a bit ridiculous. With your cultivation and status, who would dare to treat you so carelessly?" Mu Qingshuang said.

Toy with my feelings? Heartlessly discard me? Even if he had ten thousand times the courage, he wouldn't dare to do this… Su Jingyi lifted her slender arm, gently playing with the clear pool. She sighed softly, "I'm worried I won't be as good as that woman."

Mu Qingshuang was puzzled, looking at her with piqued curiousity, "Is that woman really so perfect? Even you are somewhat fearful?"

Su Jingyi raised her head said distressedly, "It's not that she's some flawless angel, but she's definitely in our league. That's why my little scoundrel couldn't resist her charm. The whole situation is quite awkward. I want him all for myself, but I also feel powerless to change anything."

"I know his feelings for that woman, and I also know his feelings for me," Su Jingyi paused, then angrily muttered under her breath, "This damn flirtatious scoundrel. Just thinking about it makes me angry."

Mu Qingshuang couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying with amusement, "Who asked you to have feelings for him? If you had a firmer will, it wouldn't have come to this. Anyway, now that you've already shared a bed, why care about so much? If you really like him, give yourself to him sooner. Let him know how wonderful you are and be unforgettable."

"I feel like you're just waiting to watch me become a laughingstock," Su Jingyi glanced at her and said indifferently, "Even if I'm a laughingstock, it's still better than ending up as a lonely spinster like you."

"You…!" Mu Qingshuang's temper flared, and the urge to strangle this exasperating woman was almost overwhelming.

Su Jingyi also realized that she was going a bit too far. She softened her voice and said, "I was just joking with you earlier. I wasn't trying to mock you. If you were in my shoes, you'd probably be just as clueless."

"Hmph."

"I wouldn't be as meek as you." Mu Qingshuang answered nonchalantly, "If one day I meet a man I like, I'll be very direct and bold. While it might not be a case of throwing myself at him, I'll definitely charm him into my bed. When the moment is ripe, I'll weave my magic and have him ensnared in my web."

Su Jingyi frowned, "You're at least a lady from a noble family and known as Lady Crescent Moon in the eyes of the world. How can you speak such vulgar words?"

"Only in front of you," Mu Qingshuang shrugged, looking a bit melancholy, "We had agreed to grow old together, but you slyly found yourself a man and indulged in your newfound happiness, leaving me here to drown in the depths of loneliness."

While Su Jingyi appeared calm, she was deeply embarrassed inside. She mumbled, "I didn't know what to do either."

Mu Qingshuang rolled her eyes and didn't say much. Despite her best friend's heartless abandonment, she genuinely felt happy for her. Letting out a sigh, she inquired softly, "Are you considering having children?"

Children? Already thinking about children?

Su Jingyi answered calmly, "I haven't considered that at this point. We'll talk about it later."

With a sigh, she asked casually, "Are you planning to continue like this, staying at home every day and avoiding people?"

"Venturing out into the world is overrated. The lecherous gazes and gossips of those rotten men just get under my skin," Mu Qingshuang shrugged nonchalantly, "Actually, staying at home is quite comfortable. In my own little world, I'm carefree and don't have to worry about what others think."

Su Jingyi hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you know about Yueyan's desire to claim the throne?"

"Yes."

"I know a little," Mu Qingshuang replied indifferently. Then, she looked at Su Jingyi and asked, "What's the matter?"

"If Yueyan succeeds, she will help you break free from societal constraints. I know you're troubled by this issue and yearn for the comfort of a man, but your status as a widow holds you back," Su Jingyi explained.

"I don't really mind. I'm just a bit concerned about her," Mu Qingshuang glanced at her and quietly asked, "Jingyi, are you planning to help her?"

Su Jingyi shook her head, remained silent for a while, and ultimately didn't reveal the whole truth to her. This involved her lover and her rival, Miao Fengxian. She just said calmly, "I can only protect her in secret. After all, it involves internal conflicts within the royal family, and I have no authority to meddle in such matters."

Mu Qingshuang pursed her lips and displeasingly said, "You can take action if you want. Who can harm you? Your open support could greatly assist Yueyan, and it might even directly determine her success."

"Jingyi. You've already shrugged your pride by surrending to a man, so why care about these things?"

"It's not the same," Su Jingyi shook her head and replied calmly, "Being with a man is my own choice, but the struggle for the throne involves the fate of the nation. I cannot interfere; I can only wait silently for the outcome and hope it turns out the way I desire."

"Hmph."

"It's all excuses," Mu Qingshuang said impatiently, "Forget it, do as you please."

Su Jingyi glanced at her, stood up on her own, and with a nonchalant wave of her hand, her damp clothes instantly became dry. She said to Mu Qingshuang, "I'll be waiting for you in your chamber."

As the words fell, she put on her Daoist robe and left the place directly, leaving the widow Mu Qingshuang alone in the warm pool.

"Sigh."

"Oh, my lover, where are you?" Mu Qingshuang sighed.

After a while, she stood up from the pool. Gracefully, she dried herself off, put on a sleeping gown, and slowly left, her light footsteps exuding the aura of a noblewoman.

As for Lu Xun, he didn't rush back home just yet. First, he soaked in the warm pool at the foot of the mountain, then sprinkled kumquat juice on himself at the courtyard entrance, using its sharp and sour taste to mask any lingering scent of mischief.

Gently pushing open the courtyard gate, he spotted the little fox sitting in the hall. She was daintily sipping tea and nibbling on some dried fruit snacks. As their gazes met for a moment, her cute and tender face lit up with surprise. She sprang from her seat and dashed towards him.

"You big villain!"

The petite fox, Xuan Shi, leaped into Lu Xun's arms, clinging against him like a playful kitten. Her delicate arms wrapped around his neck, and her legs embraced his waist. Her cherry-like lips delicately met his in a tender embrace.

Compared to the skilled seduction of the other demonesses, Xuan Shi had a completely different charm. It was different from the youthful allure of the younger girls and the mature sensuality of the older ones. It was a tantalizing taste like an intoxicating elixir. Lu Xun was tempted to explore further, but he was also concerned about hurting her.

After a moment of innocent and pure kissing, Xuan Shi blushed and asked in a soft, sweet voice, "Did you miss me, you big villain?"

Lu Xun found himself momentarily captivated by the little fox's clingy embrace. Truly, her naturally charming appearance rendered him powerless.

"Of course I did," Lu Xun replied with a smile. "When did you leave seclusion?"

Xuan Shi replied softly, "I came out yesterday. Right after, I came to find you, but you weren't here. Then I learned you had gone out. So, I waited for you early this morning."

As she spoke, three furry tails suddenly appeared behind her, waving back and forth incessantly. It was clear that the little fox was extremely excited at the moment.

"Sister will be going to the Western Regions tomorrow to meet Sister Wei Xue. Can I sleep in your bed?" The little fox gazed at him with expectant, indescribable desire in her lively eyes.

Faced with Xuan Shi's intense desire for intimacy, Lu Xun chuckled and gently replied, "Your master is still here. If she finds out, will I still be alive?"

In a flash, the little fox's face fell, her lips pouting as she mumbled dejectedly, "You only find me unattractive because I'm lacking in figure, not to mention my stature. If only I had my master's curves, you'd be insatiable, wanting me right away."

Lu Xun touched her head and said, somewhat annoyed, "Stop fantasizing. You, little fox, will be mine sooner or later. It's just not the right time. Okay, okay, come down from me. In case your sister and master see, it'll be troublesome."

The little fox bit her lip, then obediently climbed down from him and said, "Will you accompany me on an outing in a few days? You can meet my good friend from the human world. It's been so long since I've seen her."

Good friend?

That rumored charming widow?
