There’s Something Wrong With These Demonic Women!

Chapter 9: Love Between Humans And Demons

"Wife! Slow down, slow down!"

"I really have a fear of heights!"

Lu Xun sat on Xuan Yin's flying sword, tightly clutching her slender leg, continuously shouting.

Throughout the journey, Xuan Yin listened to his endless chatter and wished she could just throw him off. Biting her lip in annoyance, she said, "Can you please shut up? You've been talking non-stop all the way. Do you believe I'll throw you off?"

"I believe! I believe!" Lu Xun closed his eyes and trembled, saying, "Can you slow down, please?"

"…"

"Really annoying." Xuan Yin pouted and then slowed down the speed of her flying sword.

Feeling the change, Lu Xun breathed a sigh of relief, but he still held onto Xuan Yin's leg tightly. He asked, "By the way, when will that girl called Xuan Shi come back? What does she look like? Is she similar to you and your master?"

"What do you have to do with her? Why ask so many questions?" Xuan Yin said coldly.

"Just curious, you know I'm a curious person," Lu Xun said with a smile.

Xuan Yin snorted coldly and casually said, "I don't know when she'll come back. This little fox has a lower cultivation level, but her mind is wild. Whenever she gets a chance, she sneaks down the mountain secretly. Sometimes she goes crazy for a week, sometimes for a whole month. Every time she comes home, the master punishes her severely, but unfortunately, she never learns her lesson."

"Oh."

"What does she do outside?" Lu Xun continued asking.

"How would I know."

Xuan Yin furrowed her brows and said indifferently, "When she comes back, you can ask her yourself. But let me remind you, when Xuan Shi was a child, she witnessed her parents being killed and skinned by humans, so she has always held a deep hatred for your kind."

"Understood."

"She'll probably come to beat me up." Lu Xun pursed his lips and said quietly, "I should be able to handle her, right?"

"Probably evenly matched."

"Her cultivation level is similar to yours," Xuan Yin answered, "She might be slightly higher than you, but she won't hit you too hard. You have a talent for enduring beatings."

"That's good." Lu Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask, "What does she look like?"

"What do you want to know for?" Xuan Yin remembered her master's warning, and a hint of caution appeared in her expression. She said, "Xuan Shi has a simple mind, so you'd better be honest with her, or else… I'll take your head!"

"Take it, take it."

"I won't resist, you can take it if you want." Lu Xun rolled his eyes and said unenthusiastically, "You keep threatening me and beating me every day. It would be better if I were dead and done with it."

This time, Xuan Yin didn't say anything and continued to fly towards Quanzhou.

"Sigh."

"Lu Xun." Xuan Yin lightly pursed her lips and coldly called out his name.

"Huh?"

"What do you think about a relationship between humans and demons?"

"Relationship between humans and demons? Are you talking about romantic feelings?"

Lu Xun pondered for a moment and said seriously, "True love can transcend all races. I know a buddy named Xu Xian, who is an honest and kind doctor. One day, he was playing by the lake and met his future wife on a broken bridge. Unknowingly, his future wife was a thousand-year-old white snake, but of course, he didn't know that."

"Then he and his future wife got married, lived happily together, and even had a child—a boy named Xu Shilin. You see, that's true love."

"Why do I feel like you're telling a story?" Xuan Yin's face showed a hint of doubt and uncertainty. "A romantic relationship between humans and demons is a great disrespect in the world. Why have I never heard of it? Why did you hear it?"

"Why, why, why? Why do you have so many whys?" Lu Xun said impatiently, "You might as well change your name to ‘Why.'"

As soon as he finished speaking, the flying sword's speed increased again, scaring Lu Xun into clutching Xuan Yin's leg tightly and begging pitifully, "I was wrong, I was wrong, please slow down."

"Hmph!" Xuan Yin snorted coldly and said angrily, "If you dare to talk back again, don't blame me for being impolite."

After that, she coldly questioned, "Tell me, were you just making things up?"

"I only heard it from others. In fact, whether such a thing exists or not depends on whether you believe it or not," Lu Xun smiled and said, "Wife, there are still many beautiful things in this world worth looking forward to. When you search the world for someone you love, you suddenly turn back, and that person is there, waiting for you in the dim light."

If she were an ordinary woman, she would probably be moved by his words, but Xuan Yin was no ordinary woman. She was a snake demon who had cultivated for four hundred years and had never attended school. After hearing Lu Xun's words, her face turned dark on the spot.

"Ouch."

"Why did you speed up again?"

Lu Xun shouted in terror, "We're going to die! We're going to die!"

"You know I don't understand, yet you deliberately use flowery words to deceive me!" Xuan Yin said angrily, "I won't stop."

Oh my god!

At this moment, Lu Xun felt so helpless. What kind of karma did he create to end up encountering her?

While Lu Xun was feeling unjust about his fate, Xuan Yin, flying on the flying sword, still felt resentful and angry. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more she wanted to throw him off.

In fact, Xuan Yin's temper was usually very stable. Despite her daily stern and expressionless appearance, she rarely got angry. In her four hundred years of existence, the number of times she had been angry could almost be counted on both hands. But ever since she met Lu Xun, she either found herself breaking her composure or just recovering from him having broken it.

Especially the fact that she had never attended school, it felt like a thorn deeply piercing her heart.

No, I must study something when I go back. Just knowing how to read won't cut it. I have to learn some elegant words so that I won't be unable to understand him if he teases me in the future.

But who should I ask? My master? The little fox?

"Ouch."

"What's going on?"

"Why is it so turbulent?" Lu Xun, clutching Xuan Yin's leg, suddenly started yelling.

"…"

"We encountered an air current." Xuan Yin snapped back to her senses and controlled the flying sword, answering casually.

As the turbulence intensified, Lu Xun held onto Xuan Yin's leg even tighter, his heart almost in his throat. Anxiously, he asked, "Wife, are you okay?"

"Shut up! Don't distract me." Xuan Yin struggled to control her flying sword, continuously adjusting her posture to maintain balance.

Suddenly, a stronger air current came rushing towards them. In the next moment, Lu Xun's whole body was lifted off the ground, and his head bumped hard against the high and cold demoness's lifted butt.

Standing on the flying sword, Xuan Yin trembled all over.
