Chapter 28: Just Being Beautiful Is Enough
Immortal Miao Feng was dressed in a white and pink flowing dress, holding a sharp long sword in her hand. With each swing, the cold sword energy scattered around. At the same time, that pink dress also shared a lot of burden for her. The measurements of the big demoness were too generous, if there was a problem with the quality of the dress, there would be a bit of embarrassment…
Lu Xun stood at a distance, staring intently at Immortal Miao Feng, observing her every move while admiring her stunning figure. It was no exaggeration to say that as a thousand-year-old big snake demoness, she was more enchanting than a mere four-hundred-year-old little snake demoness. He wondered if his wife could reach such a level after living for a thousand years. Well, it shouldn't be a problem, right?
However, that would still take six hundred years! It was like waiting for an eternity. Rather than eagerly hoping for a qualitative change in the little snake demon, why not… why not just take both of them down together! As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. As a Daoist who exterminates demons and ghosts, he had an obligation to make the necessary sacrifices for peace in this world. If I don't do it, who will?
But then again, can my small physique handle it?
No, no! If Xu Xian could carry the thousand-year-old White Snake with his physical body, then I, Lu Xun, can definitely handle two snake demons without any pressure. My body is at least stronger than Xu Xian's, right?
As Lu Xun was lost in his thoughts, Immortal Miao Feng had already finished her sword practice. Her long black hair was tied up in a bun, and a cloud-patterned ribbon restrained the flowing dress around her slender waist. Perhaps it was a bit tight, revealing a hint of heaviness and gracefulness. Her mature and charming face was adorned with a faint smile, exuding the charm and allure that belonged to a beautiful woman.
"Why are you just standing there blankly?" Immortal Miao Feng had already noticed Lu Xun's presence. She cast a sideways glance at him, initially surprised by his refined yet unrestrained appearance. But then, she showed a hint of coquettishness in her raised brows and asked softly.
"Oh, I was contemplating the moves you just performed." Lu Xun snapped back to attention and answered seriously, "Although they may seem a bit ordinary, I feel that they have considerable power. It's almost like a style of winning without any moves."
Immortal Miao Feng couldn't help but be stunned. A trace of surprise flickered across her face, not expecting this guy to have such insight to discern the essence of her swordplay.
"Would you like to learn it?" She asked softly.
"I would!" Lu Xun nodded earnestly and said, "But I want to learn a more powerful swordplay. Your style seems soft and gentle, which isn't quite my thing. I prefer a style where one sword strike can cause the heavens to crumble or all swords return to the source."
Hearing Lu Xun's request, Immortal Miao Feng was enraged and especially irritated that he belittled her swordplay. Her face turned black, and she said angrily, "How could my swordplay be soft and gentle? Throughout these thousand years, countless so-called peerless masters have fallen to my swordplay. You, you are just shortsighted and blind, unable to recognize true talent!"
"No, no, it's not like that."
"It's a misunderstanding!"
Seeing that the big snake demoness was getting somewhat angry and embarrassed, Lu Xun quickly put on a smile and explained, "What I meant was that your swordplay is more suitable for women, and as a towering manly man, I prefer a style that is domineering and majestic. Do you understand what I mean?"
Immortal Miao Feng coldly snorted and said indifferently, "Do you usually use sweet words like this to flatter Xuan Yin?"
"What flattery?"
"I love her genuinely!" Lu Xun shamelessly declared.
"Love?"
"A few days ago, you swore to be mortal enemies with a demon woman. How did it become true love today?" Immortal Miao Feng arched her willow eyebrows lightly and asked softly, "Fine, let's assume that you and Xuan Yin are in true love. But can you tell me, what do you like about her?"
"Um… Beautiful!" Lu Xun replied.
"Is that all?"
"Just being beautiful is enough?" Immortal Miao Feng furrowed her brows, slightly displeased, "Is Xuan Yin only beautiful in your eyes?"
"Isn't that enough?"
"All love at first sight in this world starts from being attracted by appearance," Lu Xun said earnestly, "There's not much reason to it. For a man, especially for me, a beautiful appearance surpasses everything else."
Immortal Miao Feng rolled her eyes, petulantly saying, "You don't even try to hide your lustful nature. You openly admit to coveting Xuan Yin's body. So, do you also want to covet mine?"
As the words fell, a sense of shame welled up from the depths of Miao Feng's heart. She lightly pursed her cherry lips, feeling a bit at a loss, and regretting her impulsiveness.
"Really, can I?" Lu Xun curiously asked.
"Of course not!" Immortal Miao Feng glared at him fiercely, blushing with anger, "Such absurd thoughts, I will never allow them to happen. If you have any strange ideas about me, I will end you!"
"Okay, okay, I get it."
"Let's not dwell on the matter of coveting bodies. Weren't you going to teach me swordplay?" Lu Xun urged, "Let's get started."
Immortal Miao Feng pouted and said softly, "Originally, I planned to teach you some cultivation methods first, to strengthen your foundation. But since you're so eager to learn some swordplay, I'll show you a powerful sword technique. Um, I happen to know a very fierce one."
"I'll demonstrate it once."
"Pay close attention!"
With that, the big snake demoness lightly leaped and casually swung the sharp sword in her hand. A torrent of sword energy surged forth, and then that majestic sword energy transformed into a silver bird. Lu Xun watched in amazement as the mountain peak not far away was flattened by the sword-empowered silver bird.
"Boom—"
Just as he was shocked, Immortal Miao Feng landed steadily back in the courtyard. She looked at him, who was already dumbfounded, and couldn't help but raise a faint smile at the corner of her mouth. "How is it?"Updated from nov𝒆lbIn.(c)om
"Is this the fierce sword technique you wanted?" Immortal Miao Feng asked gently.
"I want to learn it!" Lu Xun nodded repeatedly, looking at her with eagerness.
"This move is not difficult."
"Your wife, after learning for only half a day, already grasped it." Immortal Miao Feng said leisurely, "The essence of this move lies in its intent, which is your determination when making a move. The greater your determination, the more powerful the strike."
"Alright."
"Figure it out on your own."
With the sword in hand, Immortal Miao Feng calmly walked away, leaving Lu Xun standing there in bewilderment.
This… is that all? Isn't this too perfunctory?
Lu Xun watched the big snake demoness' departing figure and suddenly felt anxious. When people are anxious, they might do some bizarre things.
Lu Xun hurriedly caught up to Immortal Miao Feng, reaching out and grabbing her delicate hand. "Sister, don't go."
"Teach me a bit more, please."
