5: What Did Xu Xian Think Back Then

Xuan Yin had been practicing alongside Miao Feng for nearly four hundred years and had never seen a man's bare body before.

This sudden scene kept impacting her mind, leaving her a bit bewildered. The sturdy and upright physique seemed to possess some kind of charm, making it hard for her to look away.

Although he had been mercilessly beaten by her and her master, his facial features remained distinct and full of handsomeness. He exuded a sense of arrogance and unconstraint, yet still maintained an air of composure.

It seemed… it seemed like her master wasn't wrong. This man was indeed quite charismatic.

Such an inexplicable thought popped into Xuan Yin's mind, surprising herself. She quickly shook her head to clear her mind and put on a cold and indifferent expression. Clearing her throat, she said, "*Ahem..I'll take you to the room."

Lu Xun, who was still immersed in the afterglow of the sauna-like experience, heard the icy voice and turned to see the cold demoness standing at the entrance of the hallway. Her appearance was quite intimidating.

"…"

"Were you peeking at me?" Lu Xun grabbed his Daoist robe and covered his robust body, warily eyeing her, this mysterious demoness.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Hurry up and follow me. If you dawdle, I'll beat you again," Xuan Yin coldly said, not bothering to pay him any more attention.

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the inner room.

Lu Xun hurriedly followed, trailing behind the cold demoness. Despite being a straightforward gentleman, he couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed by her figure.

As someone who had experienced many so-called peerless beauties in the realm of brothel , they all seemed dim in comparison to this cold demoness.

How to put it…

To sum it up in Lu Xun's words, she gave off a feeling of a high and cold young woman. As for her master, she was even more incredible!

Right…

That enchanting demoness said that both of them were snake spirits from the mountains and needed to engage in dual cultivation with him.

Otherwise, their cultivations would dissipate. Did that mean… did that mean she would also have to participate?

While Lu Xun was lost in his thoughts, they arrived in front of a room. Xuan Yin gently pushed open the door, and with a creak, a pungent and decaying smell rushed out, nearly making Lu Xun retch.

"From now on, you'll live here," Xuan Yin said coldly.

"Well, uh…"

"Can I have a different room? I hope you won't laugh at me, but I'm quite particular about my living conditions, and I can't bear this kind of discomfort." Lu Xun cautiously suggested.

"There's a shed, I don't know if you'd be willing to stay there," Xuan Yin replied.

"This…"

Lu Xun pondered for a moment and stole a glance at the indifferent demoness. Gathering his courage, he whispered, "Just now, your master said I'm your husband, so… how about I stay in your room?"

After saying that, Lu Xun noticed her expression darkening, and a chilling aura emanated from her. He quickly added, "I was just kidding, just kidding with you."

"Hmph."

"If you dare talk nonsense again, I'll take your head!"

Xuan Yin glared at him fiercely and then left without even turning back, leaving Lu Xun standing there alone.

"Ah…" Lu Xun sighed at the doorway, looking at the dilapidated state of the room.

Eventually, he accepted the reality. In truth, he thought about it carefully. As a despised home husband, he had no say in anything. Now, having a place to stay was considered lucky.

Lu Xun entered the room, tidied up a bit, and then sat on the wooden bed to meditate. Although meditating didn't yield as much experience and cultivation as slaying demons and ghosts, every little bit counted.

Accumulating bit by bit each night would eventually amount to a significant figure over time.

The next morning, Lu Xun opened his eyes after meditating all night and unconsciously checked his panel data. He almost fell off the bed.

[ Name: Lu Xun, Level: 52, Experience: 100/10000, Cultivation: 343651 ]

[ Abilities: Pure Yang Body (Level 2, next level requires two million cultivation), Copper Wall and Iron Wall (Level 2, next level requires two million cultivation). ]

"What's going on?"

"In just one night, my cultivation increased by a hundred thousand, and I even leveled up myself."

Facing this situation, Lu Xun had no answers. He pondered for a while and assumed that it might be due to the dense demonic aura in this place. However, it didn't matter.

As long as he diligently meditated every day, at this rate, it would only take half a year at the least, or a year at most, to defeat those two women!

Feeling refreshed, he walked out of the dilapidated room and strolled through the courtyard. Only then did Lu Xun realize that this residence was situated halfway up the mountain.

Hesitating for a moment, he approached the large entrance gate and gently pushed open the red door, revealing a continuous expanse of mountains.

Uh oh…

Look like he the handsome young man had been trapped by two demonesses in the deep mountains and forests.

"Hmph!"

While Lu Xun stood at the door feeling melancholy, he heard a cold hum from behind. Without guessing, he knew it must be the cold demoness.

"Is there anything to eat?" Lu Xun turned around and looked at Xuan Yin behind him, asking.

"Both you and I are cultivators, nourishing ourselves with the essence of heaven, earth, sun, and moon. There's no need for the food of ordinary mortals," Xuan Yin replied coldly.

"Day and night, the worldly pleasures are like smoke and fire, and the cups are filled with tenderness throughout the world," Lu Xun smiled, "There are some things you don't understand."

"I've lived for four hundred years, I know more than you," Xuan Yin said expressionlessly.

Four hundred years?

Lu Xun was taken aback, he shrunk his neck and cautiously asked, "And your master?"

"It has been about a thousand years," Xuan Yin said indifferently.

Lu Xun fell into silence. It seemed like this was beyond the realm of an older woman wanting a younger man, right? What did Xu Xian think back then?

"What's wrong with you again?" Xuan Yin saw Lu Xun standing there with a furrowed brow, silent and puzzled.

"Nothing."

"Yesterday, while recuperating, I deeply felt the difficulties of life. It's like an endless river, full of aspirations to flow into the sea, but the journey is slow and filled with hardships," Lu Xun pursed his lips and looked up at the gloomy sky, sighing, "Rivers will eventually flow into the sea, but life's aspirations often remain unfulfilled, leaving one with lifelong regrets."

After hearing Lu Xun's life reflections, Xuan Yin stood there in a daze, looking at Lu Xun pretending to be profound and inscrutable.

After hesitating for a moment, she coldly said, "Speak human language!"

"My mind is a bit chaotic," Lu Xun said candidly.

As he spoke, Lu Xun suddenly thought of something and stared curiously at the cold demoness in front of him.

He asked, "You've lived for almost four hundred years, haven't you ever been to school?"

Immortal Miao Feng came out of the room, still wearing that white fairy dress, her footsteps light and radiant, exuding a mature temperament. An enchanting and rich aura overwhelmed everyone present.

In the hall, she gracefully took a seat and noticed that Xuan Yin and the handsome young man were already engaged in conversation, getting along quite well.
