There’s Something Wrong With These Demonic Women!

Chapter 8: Heavenly Dao Diagram

"Wife?"

"What a useless guy."

Hearing Lu Xun shout for his wife to come and save him, the bearded man with whiskers displayed disdain on his face and scoffed, "A man like you actually need a woman to protect him?! It's truly embarrassing for us men. Besides, do you really think your wife will come to save you in this situation?"

Lu Xun shrugged casually and said, "My wife won't abandon me. I advise you all to run now, or it'll be too late."

Listening to Lu Xun's words, the bearded man with whiskers became even more disdainful. However, the burly man beside him looked solemn. Another person is nearby? He hadn't sensed anything. If what Lu Xun said was true, then his wife's cultivation must be at least in the Late Heaven stage.

"Is your wife really nearby?" The burly man furrowed his brow, asking with a hint of doubt.

"Of course."

"Do you think I'm bluffing?" Lu Xun stood still, holding the large sword in his hand, and replied calmly, "My wife's cultivation is beyond your imagination. To her, these few hundred people are nothing more than a group of ants. With a wave of her hand, they'll all turn to dust."

"…"

"Second brother!"

"This kid is clearly bluffing. We can't believe him. Let's just attack!" The bearded man said to his second brother, "I'll chop off his head later and then smash it with the back of the blade, turning him into a headless ghost."

The burly man hesitated for a long time but felt that the current Lu Xun might just be bluffing. He weighed the large machete in his hand and said, "Let's wait for our people to arrive. At the moment, you and I are still not his match. At best, we can only fight him to a draw."

And so, the three of them remained deadlocked. Compared to the composed and relaxed two burly men, Lu Xun was getting a bit anxious. According to reason, her… that illiterate and fierce woman should come to save me, right? After all, I am her partner in cultivation, and she needs me to work hard in the future. Without me, she'll have a hard time facing her yin surge next year.

The procession of torches was getting closer, and Lu Xun was becoming desperate, pondering the probability of escaping. Just when he was growing impatient, a silver light streaked across the dark night like a silver shooting star.

She's here! My wife finally arrived!

Lu Xun almost burst into tears, thinking how mighty his wife was.

"Second brother!"

"Look up, something seems to be flying over!" The bearded man saw the unusual sight in the sky and hurriedly called out to his second brother.

Following the direction his finger pointed, the burly man immediately felt a strong pressure. Could it be true what this kid said? Is his wife's cultivation really beyond imagination?

"Boom——"

A silver light fell before Lu Xun, instantly causing a cloud of dust to rise.

"Cough, cough, cough."

The two burly men covered their mouths and noses, staring fixedly ahead. In the dust, they seemed to see a figure. As the dust settled, the two men finally saw the unexpected guest clearly. She was an indescribably beautiful woman, but at the same time, extremely cold, exuding an aura that kept others at a distance.

Xuan Yin stood beside Lu Xun, holding a sharp long sword, coldly looking at the two burly men. There was no trace of emotion in her eyes, like a demon in the dark night, terrifying and eerie.

"Wife!"

"I've been bullied!" Lu Xun stood behind her, pointing at the two men with a fierce momentum, "It's them!"

"Shut up!"

Xuan Yin said coldly, "Sneaking out without my knowledge, I'll settle the score with you later."

With those words, Xuan Yin raised an eyebrow, looking at the trembling two men and softly said, "You dared to touch my man?"

"They… they did!" Lu Xun hurriedly played his part, stirring up trouble behind her, his face showing, My wife, I don't want to work hard anymore. He carefully said, "Look at the overwhelming crowd behind you, all here to take your husband's life. My wife, I almost couldn't see you again."

The constant use of "wife" annoyed Xuan Yin to the point that she wanted to sew his mouth shut with a needle and thread. But now, there was no time to teach him a lesson with a formidable enemy before them. She could only endure his mischief from behind.

"Wife."

"Take action already." Lu Xun was getting more and more accustomed to calling her "wife" and felt no psychological burden at all. He just knew that he would suffer some punishment later.

Xuan Yin's hand gripping the sword showed veins popping out, expressing anger, annoyance, and helplessness. Her face darkened as she stared at the two burly men in front of her without saying a word. Then, she swung her sword at them, and in an instant, a chilling sword energy surged towards them with irresistible force, like a tsunami.

The burly man and the bearded man were dumbfounded. Their minds went blank, and if Lu Xun's sword energy was like a torrential river, then the current chilling sword energy was like a raging tsunami.

Despair filled their eyes!

Their legs went completely weak, and the oppressive force approaching them made it impossible for them to breathe.

"Boom——"

The earth and sky trembled violently, and dust filled the air, obscuring everything.

"Ouch!"

The vast sword energy was continuous and almost blew Lu Xun away. Fortunately, he promptly held onto Xuan Yin's thigh, preventing himself from being blown away.

"…"

"Let go!"

"You, you dared to… you dare to hold onto my leg." A faint blush appeared on Xuan Yin's cold and enchanting face as she scolded in anger, "Do you believe I'll cut you?"

"No, no, no, I won't do it again."

Lu Xun let go of her long and slender leg and slowly stood up from the ground. He turned to look at the scattered crowd behind them. They were now fleeing in all directions. He pursed his lips and whispered, "What about them? They're all desperados. If they escape like this, they'll definitely harm the common people."

Xuan Yin, being a snake in the mountains and forests, had cultivated for four hundred years and her sense of smell had reached an extraordinary level. She had long detected a faint bloody aura emanating from these desperados, indicating that they were all criminals with their blood on their hands, and were extremely vicious and evil people.

"Kill them." Xuan Yin's lips moved slightly as she coldly answered.

With that said, she charged into the crowd alone. In an instant, miserable screams filled the air.

Seeing the situation, Lu Xun could only follow suit. Although he usually acted as a demon slayer, he occasionally hunted down fugitives wanted by the government. He had indeed killed people, and not just a few, but they were all extremely wicked individuals.

Compared to Xuan Yin's one-sword-kill, Lu Xun's actions seemed more restrained, but in his world, he didn't see it that way. At this moment, only one thought occupied Lu Xun's mind. My wife and I have gone crazy with killing!

…

…

"A thousand soldiers and ten thousand horses, with one general in command, there's nothing difficult about reaching into a bag and taking what you want."

Lu Xun held a sharp sword, standing tall between heaven and earth, looking at the bodies of these desperados, with a proud expression.

At the same time, Xuan Yin stood not far from him, frowning as she heard him boasting with elegant words. Although she didn't understand what he was saying, she could tell from his appearance that he was bragging about his bravery and fearlessness.

"Hmph!"

"What does it have to do with you? It's all me who killed them," Xuan Yin grumbled displeasedly.

When Lu Xun finished his musings, he crouched down to search the bodies of these thieves, and as he rummaged through them, Xuan Yin became a little curious.

"What are you doing?" Xuan Yin asked.

"Robbing the rich to help the poor," Lu Xun said, collecting silver coins while speaking earnestly, "When we're away from home, we rely on friends and money. I usually travel alone and have no friends, so I can only rely on money. Let's stay at an inn when we reach Quanzhou instead of spending the night in a shabby temple."

"I have demonic aura on me. We can't stay in the bustling city for too long; we'll be discovered. You go and stay there," Xuan Yin said coldly, pursing her lips.

"Okay."

"What a pity." Lu Xun replied absentmindedly.Updated from nov𝒆lbIn.(c)om

"…"

"I can tell you're secretly delighted," Xuan Yin said, not sensing any hint of regret in his tone. In fact, she felt that he was secretly pleased. At the same time, she recalled her master's words.

"This child, though handsome, is a romantic type. Don't let other women get close to him. Give him some benefits."

Thinking of this, Xuan Yin's expression became somewhat solemn. Now that he had so much money, if she wasn't by his side, this young man would definitely seek pleasure with other women. Although it had nothing to do with her, if her master found out, she would surely give her another lecture.

"No, no. How could I dare," Lu Xun quickly denied.

"Wife?"

"What should we do with the bodies of these bandits?" Lu Xun had searched through the bodies for a while and found that these were all poor wretches. He suddenly lost interest and stood up, asking Xuan Yin who was nearby.

"In the mountains, there are many fierce beasts. Let's consider it a blessing for them," Xuan Yin said coldly.

Hearing her words, Lu Xun didn't say much. It sounded a bit cruel and inhumane, but his wife wasn't human, so humane considerations didn't apply to her. Moreover, these bandits didn't deserve humane treatment.

"Wife."

"Are we going to Quanzhou region for some treasure?" Lu Xun asked curiously. "I just heard that bearded big man mention it."

"To find a fragment of the Heavenly Dao Diagram," Xuan Yin replied expressionlessly.

Fragment of the Heavenly Dao Diagram?

It was the first time Lu Xun had heard of such a thing, and he looked puzzled as he asked again, "What's it for?"

"There are ten fragments of the Heavenly Dao Diagram in total, each containing the power of the Heavenly Dao. It is said that by assembling these ten fragments, one can ascend to immortality," Xuan Yin glanced at Lu Xun and lightly pursed her red lips. "You keep calling me ‘wife' every now and then. It's becoming more and more natural for you. Should I help you pull out your tongue?"

Lu Xun awkwardly smiled and hastily said, "Since this thing, the Heavenly Dao Diagram, is so important, there must be many experts coming to seize it. So, why doesn't your master come herself? Is she trying to send us to our deaths?"

"She…," Xuan Yin hesitated a bit, finding it difficult to explain. She certainly couldn't tell the young man in front of her that her master's intention was to create more opportunities for them to be alone and stir up some sparks of passion between a human and a demon.

"Oh!"

"I understand!" Lu Xun seemed to have an epiphany when he saw her expression of difficulty. He said, "It's to give us more chances to be alone together."

Xuan Yin couldn't help but freeze for a moment, a hint of surprise appearing in her eyes. However, she quickly returned to her usual cold demeanor and said calmly, "My master is not such a boring person."

After speaking, even she herself felt a little flushed.

Lu Xun stared at her earnestly, looking at Xuan Yin's cold and frosty beautiful face. Embarrassed by his gaze, Xuan Yin turned her head slightly and coldly said, "Let's go back. We'll have to travel again tomorrow morning."

"Oh."

Lu Xun nodded and approached the aloof enchantress, intending to hug her long, slender leg and fly back together on the sword.

"Get lost!"

Seeing his intentions at a glance, Xuan Yin scolded him with a blackened face, and then she flew away by drawing her sword. Leaving Lu Xun standing there all alone, he looked up at her who had turned into a meteor, feeling quite aggrieved in his heart.

Damn it!

Just wait and see! When the time comes for dual cultivation, I'll make you cry and beg me.

…

The next morning,

Lu Xun opened his eyes on the pile of withered grass. The desolate temple was already devoid of Xuan Yin's figure. He didn't harbor too many suspicions, having long abandoned the idea of freedom. He silently opened his data panel and found that his experience and cultivation had not changed significantly, which left him feeling a bit disappointed.

What he desired most now was to activate an offensive ability. His defense had become formidable, progressing visibly from the first time he was knocked out by Immortal Miao Feng to now merely experiencing intense pain. However, his offensive capabilities were still lacking.

How could he expand his range of attacks?

After some contemplation and calm analysis, many terrifying moves from the martial world came to mind, such as lime powder, foot stomping, eye gouging, and kicking the crotch, and so on.

Just as Lu Xun was hesitating whether or not to prepare some lime powder, he heard light and agile footsteps. Following the sound, he saw the cold and alluring demoness dressed in a blue gown appear before him.

"Awake? It's time to set off." Xuan Yin said coldly.

Lu Xun knew her temperament well; she was a demoness who didn't like to dawdle. He quickly stood up, ready to hold her slender leg, sit on her flying sword, and head for the region of Quanzhou.

Xuan Yin held her own sword, muttering something under her breath. Then she released her jade hand, and the sword miraculously hovered in mid-air. She lightly jumped on it and said calmly, "Come up."

"Coming, coming."

Lu Xun hurriedly walked over and sat on the handle and the blade of the sword, hugging the demoness' long, slender leg. He lifted his head and caught a glimpse of her round and perky buttocks, but he dared not touch them.

A faint blush appeared on Xuan Yin's enchanting face, and a hint of shyness flashed in her brows. She lightly bit her crimson lips and coldly said, "Don't hold on so tight."

"I'm afraid of falling."

"I have a fear of heights." Lu Xun said pitifully, but his grip only tightened.

At the same time, there was only one raised head's distance between Lu Xun and those perky buttocks.
