There’s Something Wrong With These Demonic Women!

Chapter 183: It Must Be His Pure Yang Physique

Su Jingyi gazed at the dashing young man not far away, marveling at his handsome and elegant appearance. A faint trace of surprise flickered in her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a hint of emotion. Accustomed to seeing him in coarse Tsing Yi clothes, seeing him suddenly dressed as a literary scholar was quite captivating.

Fairy Su lightly bit her lip and quietly shifted her gaze away from him. However, she noticed many women on the street looking at him, some with apparent infatuation in their eyes. She couldn't help but feel a bit displeased. She initially felt some joy, but now her heart was becoming restless.

It appeared that the demoness was not wrong in being cautious about Lu Xun. A charming young man like him, not only was he physically fit but also highly accomplished in the field of cultivation, possessing a special physique on top of that. How could women in this world resist such allure?

"He's quite a flirt. No wonder the demoness keeps a close eye on him," Fairy Su murmured, her words so soft they were like the buzz of a mosquito.

Although the demoness had called him a passionate young man many times, but after that scene just now, it undoubtedly confirmed his flirtatious nature. If he wasn't closely watched, how many women in this world would fall for him?

"Absolutely cannot let Qingshuang meet him. On the surface, Qingshuang may appear carefree, but in reality, she's no different than me. If Lu Xun sees her, with her looks and figure, he won't be able to resist," Fairy Su narrowed her eyes, muttering to herself.

Just at that moment, the dashing young man, Lu Xun, walked up to Fairy Su. He unfurled the folding fan with a flourish and gently asked, "Miss, are you alone?"

Fairy Su snapped back to attention, her brows slightly furrowing beneath her veil. She gave a cold look to the young man and replied in a detached tone, "Putting on an act. Moreover, you're half an hour late. I'll remember it, and we'll settle this later."

You are so ignorant of my grace! I even spent three to five silvers on these clothes, belt, and folding fan. Well, that money was wasted. Lu Xun curled his lips. He felt embarrassed but still smiled as he spoke, "Before leaving home, I took a bath and bought some new clothes. How do I look? Do you feel the aura of a top scholar? Do you think I have the air of a champion?"

With a sidelong glance at him, she replied nonchalantly, "You look ordinary."

"…"

"Is it any wonder my wife enjoys bantering with you? In fact, your personality is quite similar to my hers. Both of you are quite stubborn," Lu Xun shook his folding fan, gently saying, "Alright. I won't tease you anymore. Just wait a moment; I'm going to hire a painted boat."

As he spoke, he walked toward a particular boat. When he found the boatman, his whole person was stupefied. How could it be this old man? He remembered taking the big demoness and the little fox on a painted boat, and it was the same old man. Damn, could something go wrong?

"Oh my!"

"It's you, young master!" The old man was astonished to see Lu Xun and inquired with a smile, "Young master, would you like to hire a boat?"

"Ah? Yes, I want to hire a boat."

Lu Xun pouted and walked up to the boatman. He handed over some silver coins to him, saying earnestly, "Old man, you just row the boat. Don't say a word!"

The old man glanced at the veiled girl on the shore, then nodded knowingly, saying with a wink, "The rule in our line of work is to act like a blind and a deaf man. Please, young master, rest assured. Today, I haven't seen you, and I haven't seen that young lady. I didn't encounter you that night either."

That's true professionalism!

Lu Xun hurriedly handed over more silver coins and then scuttled back to the shore.

"Let's go."

"Watch your steps. Do you want me to hold your hand?" Lu Xun asked.

Su Jingyi didn't pay any attention to him. She gracefully stepped down the steps and, afterwards, boarded the gallery, drawing aside the curtain. She sat down by herself. At the same time, Lu Xun followed up and, after hesitating for a moment, chose to sit opposite her.

The boat started moving, swaying gently as it moved forward. Su Jingyi leaned her head to one side, gazing at the people hurrying by on the shore. An indescribable emotion welled up within her. She… she was actually on a boat with a young man. Moreover, this young man was not only the demoness's lover, but he was also over twenty years younger than her. She could practically be his mother.

But on second thought, it wasn't that strange. That demoness was even more extreme. She was over a thousand years older than him. However, it was a bit perplexing.

Thinking about it, Fairy Su secretly glanced at the young man sitting across from her. He was indeed handsome and well-built, but was that enough to make her attracted to him? Furthermore, even the big demoness was smitten. She and the demoness were considered the two unparalleled beauties in the world. Yet, they both felt attracted to him. What was so special about him?

Su Jingyi contemplated this question but couldn't find an answer that convinced her. She had developed an inexplicable feeling towards him in a very short amount of time, just after a few meetings and two days of being together.

Upon closer reflection, ever since she saw his bare body that day, she had been having all sorts of wild thoughts. Could it be that I'm too lonely and too isolated?

In an instant, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks as Su Jingyi quickly turned her head, leaving Lu Xun to admire her side profile.

No, no, no. It definitely isn't like that. It must be his Pure Yang physique that's affecting me. This innate Pure Yang physique naturally makes women develop an attraction for him. I couldn't escape it, and I found myself strangely attracted to him. Yes, it must be that. That's right!

"Uh…"

Lu Xun spoke, looking at Su Jingyi, who was sitting sideways across from him. He asked in a soft voice, "Didn't you say you wanted to have a heart-to-heart conversation with me? Why have you been silent since we got on the boat?"

His voice brought Su Jingyi's thoughts back, and she lightly pursed her lips. She had a whole lot to say, but she didn't know how to open up. After contemplating for a while, she asked, "…Do you genuinely mean the words you said before?"

Oh, so she came over to ask me if it's genuine or not. This overly suspicious little lady, no, no, no, this beautiful mature lady.

"Are you doubting that I've been instructed by my wife?" Lu Xun replied with a smile, "She has only advised me to stay away from you and not have any contact with you."

Su Jingyi raised her eyebrows and quietly asked, "Then why didn't you listen to her?"

"I did listen and acted accordingly," Liu Xun shrugged, looking troubled. "But some things are unexpected and quite extraordinary. A sudden encounter, an unforeseen attraction, a bewildering situation, and a hazy outcome."

Listening to his description, Su Jingyi's eyes gradually softened, showing a hint of assurance but not complete certainty.

At that moment, Lu Xun picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of clear tea, took a sip, and looked at the shore with a lonely expression. He mumbled, "Had I known it would entangle my heart like this, I might as well not have met you at the beginning."

After he finished speaking, Lu Xun raised his head and stared straight at Su Jingyi. In a soft, intimate tone, he asked, "What do you think?"

Faced with his gaze, Su Jingyi turned her head in silence. Her cold and indifferent beauty bore a faint, apparent trace of melancholy as she said in a musing tone, "Don't ask me. I don't know."

Tsk, tsk, this stubborn fairy. It seems I'll have to use my secret weapon!

"Sigh," Lu Xun sighed deeply, calling to the boatman at the stern, "Boatman, do you have any wine?"

"Yes, yes, we do."

The old man hastily retrieved several barrels of wine from the boat's storage, handed them to Lu Xun, and hurriedly left.

Taking a small jar of fine wine, Lu Xun walked to the bow of the boat, looking at the shore with sorrow. He took a couple of large gulps and continued speaking, "You resent that I was born late, and I regret that you were born early."

As his words trailed off, he sighed deeply, this sigh was full of the troubles of life and a deep sense of unwillingness.

Su Jingyi gazed at him with misty eyes, observing his lonely and forlorn figure and the words that reached deep into her heart. Her emotions were like surging waves, continuously crashing against the dam of her innermost heart. While her feelings were restless, she was also somewhat at a loss.

"You…" Su Jingyi hesitated as she struggled to say a few words, "Since when have you had such thoughts?"

"The very first moment in the capital!"

Lu Xun turned back and stared directly at her, saying softly, "I saw your figure, though I couldn't see your face. For a while, I always thought it was a fairy from my dreams, but I never imagined it would be you."

Su Jingyi was well aware of the specific moment Lu Xun referred to as the "first moment in the capital." She glanced at the young man standing close, with his intense and radiant gaze. It was so scorching that she couldn't even meet his eyes.

Anxiously picking up the teapot, she poured herself a cup of tea and took several sips, trying to relieve the inner turmoil she felt.

However, at that moment, Lu Xun, slightly intoxicated, carried the wine over and slowly took a seat beside her. He sat down directly and stared fixedly at her, focusing on Su Jingyi, who was veiled.

Even though the veil concealed much of her countenance, he could still faintly perceive her world-shaking beauty, and this elusive feeling only made the itching in his heart grow stronger.

"If life were only like when we first met, why does the autumn wind lament the painted fan?"

Lu Xun slowly extended his hand, gently taking Su Jingyi's tender hand, "Jingyi."
