3: I'm Just After Your Body

In the vast hall, the atmosphere was somewhat strange. Lu Xun, who had just regained consciousness, looked at the two demoness in front of him.

One of them had just beaten him so badly that he didn't even have a chance to fight back.

As for the other demoness kneeling on the ground, her cold and alluring appearance, along with her intimidating aura, made him feel that her strength was not to be underestimated either.

"I didn't expect you to wake up so quickly." Immortal Miao Feng gazed at Lu Xun sitting on the ground with her seductive eyes and said softly, "Just in time to meet your future wife."

"Ah?"

"Wife?"

Hearing the words of the enchanting demoness in front of him, Lu Xun was dumbfounded.

He looked at her, who possessed terrifying strength, and tremblingly asked, "This… Are you not joking? As a Daoist who slays demons, I'm naturally at odds with your kind. How can I marry a demoness?"

"Why not?"

"You haven't even tried, yet you're saying you can't marry a demoness?" Immortal Miao Feng smiled charmingly. "There are so many wonders in this world. Shouldn't you try more things?"

Her words made sense, but unfortunately, they were spoken by a demoness. Lu Xun didn't know what to do after hearing Immortal Miao Feng's words.

The situation was clear: if he refused, he would undoubtedly be beaten again. But accepting it… he couldn't get past this in his heart.

After some thought and calm analysis, he hesitated to speak but finally gathered the courage to cautiously ask, "If I refuse, are you going to kill me?"

"Oh, no."

"I'll just beat you up again," Immortal Miao Feng said with alluring charm. "Alright, don't think about it anymore. I'm not giving you a choice. You only have the option to agree. In fact, it's not a real marriage, I'm just after your body."

In the end, he couldn't escape such a fate. Perhaps this was the dilemma of handsome men?

Although Lu Xun had a thousand reasons to refuse in his heart, facing the terrifying strength of Immortal Miao Feng, he couldn't find a way out. He glanced at the enchanting mature demoness in front of him and then at the cold and distant one behind him.

He sighed helplessly and bitterly said, "There are so many talented and handsome men in the world, why must it be me?"

"Because you have the Pure Yang Body," Immortal Miao Feng said leisurely. "I won't hide anything from you. Both your future wife and I are snakes and pythons in the mountains. After absorbing the essence of heaven and earth for countless years, we gained spiritual roots, cultivated our skills, and took on human forms.

However, our innate Yin deficiency has not changed. Every hundred years, there is a surge of Yin within us. If we can suppress it, we'll be fine; otherwise, our cultivation will dissipate."

"And your Pure Yang Body is the most miraculous antidote for us. As long as we cultivate together, we can suppress the Yin surge within us." Immortal Miao Feng looked charmingly at Lu Xun and asked in a soft voice, "Do you understand?"

Understood!

So, they want to make me into a Xu Xian.

[ A|N: Xu Xian is one of the main characters in Legend of the White Snake, one of China's four great folk tales.]

Upon careful consideration, it doesn't seem impossible. Xu Xian could marry the White Snake, so why can't I, Lu Xun?

Just as Lu Xun was lost in his thoughts, Immortal Miao Feng said charmingly, "Xuan Yin, stand up and let your fiancé see what you look like."

"Master!"

Xuan Yin, still kneeling on the ground, became anxious and flustered. Her face turned red as she bit her crimson lips and showed a hint of stubbornness and helplessness. "Master, please stop this nonsense! Even if it means giving up my cultivation, I won't cultivate with him."

Before Immortal Miao Feng could get angry, Lu Xun, who was sitting on the ground, had already stood up and proudly said, "Miss Demoness, please rest assured. A man living under the heavens cannot remain subservient forever. As for me… Ah!"

Immortal Miao Feng lifted her hand gently and an invisible force pushed Lu Xun back. In an instant, he rolled on the ground several times like a kite with a broken string, and once again fainted.

"What a nuisance." Immortal Miao Feng muttered and then turned to the stubborn Xuan Yin, asking in a dismissive tone, "Xuan Yin, are my words no longer effective for you?"

"Xuan Yin dares not…"

Xuan Yin knew her master was angry. Her body trembled slightly, and she stammered, "Master, I know you mean well, but… I can't cultivate with a stranger. Master…"

"Enough!"

"I don't want to hear any more of your arguments." Immortal Miao Feng's face turned dark and she said coldly, "In any case, this matter is settled. As soon as next year comes, you will cultivate with him immediately and suppress the Yin surge in your body. I will be keeping an eye on you."

After listening to Immortal Miao Feng's words, Xuan Yin's face turned pale. Tears of frustration swirled in her eyes. She bit her lip tightly and murmured, "I understand."

"Xuan Yin…"

"Don't blame Master."

"Master has no other choice but to resort to this." Immortal Miao Feng sighed and said with deep concern, "Before I met you, I saw many of our kind perish due to the Yin surge. I don't want to see you meet the same fate. It's true that this matter is embarrassing for you, but staying alive is more important, especially for us demon cultivators."

After a moment of contemplation, Immortal Miao Feng spoke softly, "This Daoist has a handsome appearance, and although his cultivation is not worth mentioning, having the Pure Yang Body is a great talent. With time, he can roam freely in the world, and you two might even become a legendary couple."

With that said, Immortal Miao Feng stood up and looked at the unconscious Lu Xun near the door, saying, "I leave him to you. Remember to keep an eye on him. Although he has a handsome appearance, he is a fickle person. Don't let other women get involved with him, or you'll be left with nothing."

"Oh, right!"

"It's not just during the Yin surge that you can cultivate with him. Whenever you're free, you can…"

Before Immortal Miao Feng could finish, Xuan Yin urgently interrupted her, "Master! You've been through a long journey, so please rest now." Xuan Yin knew what her master wanted to say and blushed with embarrassment, urging her to leave.

Immortal Miao Feng looked at Xuan Yin, who was kneeling on the ground, and knew that the girl was feeling shy. She smiled meaningfully, then turned and left the hall, leaving Lu Xun and Xuan Yin behind.

Xuan Yin stood up, feeling helpless and melancholic. She glanced back at the man lying on the ground, the guy her master had slapped away. She became even more annoyed, wishing she could just kill him and swallow him whole.

Why? Why did things turn out like this?

Out of nowhere, she suddenly had a fiancé, and not just any fiancé, but a demon-slaying Daoist.

While Xuan Yin was sulking alone, she noticed that the unconscious Lu Xun seemed to be regaining consciousness.

"Ah!"

"I can't stand it!"

"I got beaten up again for no reason."

Lu Xun sat up, rubbing his forehead. His head felt heavy, and he kept muttering to himself.

When he looked around the spacious hall, the only person left was the cold-looking demoness. However, her expression seemed off. Why did she look like she wanted to tear him apart?

"What are you planning?"

"Hey!"

"Don't act like this, be rational! Don't come any closer!"
