4: Am I Glowing

"Letting you appear out of nowhere!"

"Letting you become my fiancé!"

"Letting you have a pure Yang body!"

Xuan Yin backed Lu Xun into a corner and then unleashed a violent beating on him. Although she hit him hard, she avoided his vital points.

As for poor Lu Xun, he crouched in the corner, clutching his head, unsure of how to fight back. But he didn't even have a chance to retaliate, given the huge difference in strength between them.

After a long while, Xuan Yin's anger subsided somewhat. She looked at the man who was barely conscious and couldn't help but frown. She gently kicked him and cautiously asked, "Hey, you should still be alive, right?"

"Ugh."

"Half-alive." Lu Xun lifted his head from the ground, staring at the cold-looking demoness who was just within reach. He pitifully said, "Can you give me some healing pills? I feel like I'm about to die."

Xuan Yin didn't really want to give him any healing pills, but if this guy died, her master's temper would surely land her in a hundred years of imprisonment. Being deprived of freedom was not something she wanted to experience.

So, she sneered and said coldly, "Healing pills contain realgar, and it can reveal my snake form. I'll go get you a restorative pill instead."

As she spoke, Xuan Yin turned to walk towards the inner room but stopped after a few steps.

She turned back to Lu Xun and warned, "Don't you try to escape. My master has placed a mark on you, and even if you flee to the ends of the earth, she will find you."

"Ah?"

"This… "

"So, I'm supposed to be a servant for you all?" Lu Xun's face turned dark. He was originally a Daoist dedicated to slaying demons, but now, he had somehow become a servant to a demoness, and on top of that, he was supposed to be her fiancé. He felt like his life had gone seriously off course.

Xuan Yin glanced at the man and casually said, "You have a sword in your hand. Why don't you just end yourself?"

"Never mind."

"Although it's humiliating, being alive is still better than being dead." Lu Xun was someone who had experienced the death of his master.

He had seen all sorts of hardships, so he accepted reality calmly. He waved his hand at the cold demoness, "Hurry up and get me the pill, or I'll die."

With her delicate brows tightly furrowed, Xuan Yin left in silence, murmuring to herself, "Is he commanding me?"

"Does he dare to command me?"

"I'll beat him again when he recovers."

Once Xuan Yin left, the spacious hall was left with only Lu Xun. Covered in wounds, he stood up from the ground, patted the dusty Daoist robe, and sat down on a wooden chair. Though his body finally found rest, his shattered dreams could never be pieced back together.

At this moment…

Deep within Lu Xun's heart, that invincible dream of his was already shattered, broken by the two demonesses.

"What cultivation level do these two women have?"

"Why didn't I even have a chance to fight back?"

Lu Xun pondered the strength of the two women, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't come to a conclusion. Moreover, he didn't even know his own strength.

In any case, the current situation was very grim. From a certain perspective, he was no different from a dependent son-in-law, but on the other hand, being able to live comfortably without working was also a good thing.

Lately, it had become difficult to make a living by slaying demons and ghosts. He had been struggling intensely, and sometimes he wouldn't receive a single job in a month.

The prices were becoming more absurd, to the point where they were outrageously low, and in many cases, he wouldn't even get reimbursed for his travel expenses.

"To live comfortably as a dependent son-in-law is not a disgrace; a real man knows when to yield and when to stand strong."

"When I become stronger, I will definitely cut them down!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a faint sound of footsteps.

"Whom do you want to cut down?" Xuan Yin walked out from the inner room, her voice cold as she asked.

"Uh… You misheard."

"What about that restorative pill?" Quick-witted Lu Xun hurriedly changed the subject.

Xuan Yin casually threw a small pill at him.

As Lu Xun received the restorative pill, he didn't immediately consume it. Instead, he looked at the blue pill in his hand and began to feel uneasy.

He cautiously raised his head and asked, "Uh, are you sure this is a legitimate medicine?"

"The pure Yang body is immune to all poisons. Even if it's poison, it won't harm you." Xuan Yin said indifferently.

"Poison indeed won't harm me, but if it's… if it's…"

Lu Xun's hesitant appearance annoyed Xuan Yin, who spoke coldly, "My master is protecting you, and I can't do anything to you. In any case, the medicine has been given to you. Whether you want to take it or not is your choice."

After saying that, she turned around, about to leave.

Lu Xun looked at the cold demoness's back. Though she was a bit indifferent and violent, her figure was quite enchanting and bountiful in the right places.

Of course, there was still a little gap compared to her master, who was simply overwhelming and compelling. Ultimately, the clothes they wore make them look even better.

"Hey!" Lu Xun asked again, "Can I really eat this?"

"Hmph." Xuan Yin coldly snorted and left straight away.

Lu Xun swallowed the restorative pill in one gulp and then opened his status panel, but he froze in place.

Originally, he wanted to see how much experience and cultivation he could gain from one restorative pill, but unexpectedly, he accidentally activated a new ability.

[ [Copper Wall Iron Defense]:Enhance resistance against attacks (Level 1, requires 500,000 cultivation for the next level). ]

Enhance resistance against attacks?

No wonder… The second time I was beaten, it didn't hurt as much.

The evaluation of this ability could be summed up as "useful." Now, solely relying on the pure Yang body for defense was not enough to withstand the current situation. The appearance of Copper Wall Iron Defense perfectly resolved this crisis.

After some contemplation, Lu Xun chose to upgrade Copper Wall Iron Defense. He had no choice. These two demonesses were too fierce, and his small frame couldn't bear it.

"Hiss."

"Why do I suddenly feel a bit hot?"

Just as he upgraded Copper Wall Iron Defense to level two, Lu Xun suddenly felt a burst of heat in his body. Without much thought, he hurriedly took off his Daoist robe.

At this point, he was left with only a pair of trousers, exposing his sturdy chest. Despite this, he still felt unbearably hot.

"Damn?"

"Am I glowing?"

Lu Xun noticed that his body was emitting a golden light, and for a moment, he was scared and didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, the abnormality only lasted for a short while, and soon returned to normal. As the light faded away, the sensation of heat also disappeared. Feeling comfortable, he wondered why it felt like he had just come out of a sauna.

"I forgot to take him to the room."

Xuan Yin came out from her boudoir, her cold and enchanting face carrying a hint of resentment.

With an imposing aura, she walked towards the hall. As soon as she stepped into the hall, she saw Lu Xun wearing only trousers.

His exposed body came into her view, it was the first time Xuan Yin had seen a naked man's physique.

And such a sturdy and strong man at that.
