Chapter 185: Aunt Su
Chapter 185: Aunt Su
Lu Xun's plan was bold and seemingly perfect. Even though they hadn't openly discussed their hidden thoughts, they both seemed to understand each other's intentions. Taking advantage of Fairy Su's distracted state, Lu Xun moved swiftly to capture her, intending to win her heart completely. With her in a state of pleasant confusion, he planned to take her down.
Of course, this was the most ideal scenario, the expected process and outcome he had in mind. There was, however, a significant chance that Fairy Su would strongly resist. Nonetheless, it shouldn't pose any life-threatening danger. At most, she might give him a good beating, and enduring beatings was one of his skills.
Getting closer, they were very close now!
Lu Xun, with his eyes closed, gradually moved even closer. At the same time, the rich scent of sandalwood became even more intense. This meant that her lips were now tantalizingly close. Taking one more small step forward, he would be able to taste the sweet and tender lips of the fairy. He wondered how they would be different compared to his three other companions at home.
The little fox should have the sweetest taste, reminiscent of early summer's sweetness. The little demonesses were full of spring, with new life budding everywhere. As for the big demoness, she was the embodiment of late autumn, with a fierce wind sweeping through, akin to autumn leaves scattering in the breeze.
Simultaneously, Su Jingyi watched the young man get closer with an expression of astonishment, disbelief, and a bit of confusion in her eyes. Her mind involuntarily flashed back to the day when the demoness nestled in his arms, holding his head tightly, and passionately kissed him, even sticking her snake tongue into his mouth.
Is he planning to do the same to me? We've only met a few times, and it's already unimaginable that we've revealed our inner selves to each other. Yet, he seems insatiable, trying to behave improperly with me. This insolent man!
Fairy Su clenched her fists tightly, her body growing rigid. She struggled to resist whatever was about to happen, yet suddenly there was a strange mix of anticipation and excitement within her. It was hard to remain impassive when she knew that he might make a move that would be both embarrassing and thrilling.
In this precarious moment, Fairy Su suddenly thought of something. A surge of resentment and anger welled up from the depths of her heart. She forcefully pushed the young man away from her as he got closer and then slapped him, the sound resonating crisply.
Lu Xun was left bewildered. Before he could react, Su Jingyi angrily scolded, "You've already kissed the demoness, and you've been tainted with her scent. How dare you come near me?"
Lu Xun was at a loss, wondering what to do next. Should he continue to be persistent or take a step back? At that moment, a lyric popped into his mind: ‘My lips bear her taste; your nose is the culprit. You shouldn't smell her beauty and stay quietly beside me.'
The lyrics were slightly modified, but the meaning remained the same. If Fairy Su had such great selflessness, how wonderful this world would be.
At this moment, Su Jingyi lightly bit her lips, feeling a deep sense of regret. In fact, she could have just gently pushed him away. There was no need for that slap; it seemed entirely unnecessary. However, at the time, thinking about how he had kissed the demoness so passionately had made her uncomfortable. Now, he must be mad at me, right? How can I make it up to him?
Thinking of this, Su Jingyi's peripheral vision quietly glanced at him. She found that the young man beside her appeared helpless, and between his brows was an expression of resignation. She opened her mouth and said leisurely, "I am not the kind of casual woman, nor am I a woman that you can have so easily. You…"
Fairy Su bit her lips tightly, whispering to him, "You have indeed made me a bit unsure and agitated, and I've had some thoughts, but only to this extent."
She paused and continued, "I've never had this kind of feeling for a man. You are my first and, barring any surprises, my last. However, that doesn't mean you can do as you please. I am not your demoness. I am…"
"The human immortal, Su Jingyi."
Fairy Su said in a voice as soft as an ant's, her cheeks slightly tinted with a faint blush. She hesitated before saying, "You'd better be a bit more sensible, you little scoundrel."
Lu Xun chuckled, then moved closer to Fairy Su. He extended his hand to hold her hand but was vehemently rebuffed, despite several attempts. He ultimately abandoned the idea of taking her hand and said lightly, "How come it feels like I'm being reprimanded by an elder? If I think about it, you could almost be my mother."
As soon as he finished his sentence, a wave of cold air rushed over them. Fairy Su's face under her veil looked stern and seemed to carry a feeling of gritted teeth. She almost seemed ready to rip off a layer of Lu Xun's skin.
What does this mean? Is he rejecting me because of my age? I'm only about twenty years older than him, while that demoness is thousands of years older than him. How come he's not saying anything about her?
Su Jingyi had already clenched her fists and felt an urge to hit him. How did the demoness usually get along with him? How could she tolerate such a lascivious character?
"Aunt Su."
Just as Fairy Su was lost in thought, his words of "Aunt Su" suddenly brought her back to reality.
"What did you just call me?" Su Jingyi stared at him intently through the thin veil, and her eyes widened. Her emotions were difficult to describe, a mixture of intense embarrassment and a strange sense of stirring.
"Aunt Su!" Lu Xun said with a smile. "I call my wife ‘Sister,' if I call you ‘Aunt Su' you can be considered her senior!"
Fairy Su pursed her lips and said icily, "Are you using this as an opportunity to mock my age?"
"No, no," Lu Xun responded quickly. "How could I?"
Lu Xun knew it was time to make his move. He subtly shifted closer to her, gently reached out to hold her delicate hand and looked at her with tenderness. He said, "Aunt Su, age has nothing to do with love in my eyes. It's unrelated to strength and cultivation. Love is only about attraction and acceptance."
With those words, he squeezed her hand slightly and enjoyed the feel of her softness. "Aunt Su," he continued, "Even though you're over forty, in my eyes, you're more attractive than those young girls. When we first met, it was about love at first sight. I couldn't see your face, but your figure made me feel your perfection…"
Lu Xun hadn't finished his words when Su Jingyi, whose hand was gripped, endured the shame and said through gritted teeth and trembling voice, "I was well-covered. You couldn't see anything. How could you feel the perfection?"
"Right here," Lan Xun poked his own chest and replied affectionately, "I can feel it with my heart. Don't doubt my words. I, your little scoundrel, have this ability. Even though you were dressed very conservatively, it couldn't hide your graceful figure beneath the dress."
Pervert!
Su Jingyi had already learned about Lu Xun's nature from Miao Fengxian, but she never expected him to be so audacious and shamelessly say such things to her. If it were someone else, they would have been struck down with a sword. But strangely, after listening to his words, she even felt a hint of pride.
"Aunt Su."
"Perhaps it started as a mere attraction based on appearance, but it's not just a passing fancy. What attracted me was your beauty and figure, but what won me over was your ethereal presence, calmness which soothes the heart…" Lu Xun fired off all the sweet words he could conjure.
His words were like a torrential river of affection, breaking down all of Fairy Su's reserve and rationality. They shattered the layers of shackles in the depths of her heart. When a sudden surge of love, after over forty years of accustomed loneliness, came crashing in, Su Jingyi couldn't resist this unexpected depth of affection.
This brat!
How is he so skilled in seducing people? Just a few words, and he's made me weak all over. I'm one of the top cultivators in the world, one of the two seventh realm masters, but I can't resist his sweet talk. I bet even Qingshuang, that alluring widow, would succumb instantly, right?
However, Lu Xun wasn't done; he was ready to seize the moment and continue conquering Su Jingyi's inner world.
"Aunt Su."
"I know that when you made this decision, your heart must have been in turmoil. Faced with this unpredictable future, you must have wrestled with your thoughts for a long time." Lu Xun shifted his grip to her delicate hand and, at the same time, stealthily moved toward her waist, skimming over her back and nearing her side.
"Leaving aside my wife's situation, just the fact that Aunt Su, you've developed feelings of affection, is enough to astonish everyone in the world," Lu Xun said, lips slightly pursed. He gazed through the veil at Su Jingyi, who was now so close, and said softly, "Aunt Su, this little scoundrel will not let your decision go to waste. I will protect this hard-earned affection."
As he finished speaking, one hand gently embraced her waist, cautiously pulling her into his arms.
Lu Xun's words touched Su Jingyi's heart, and the most delicate string in her heart was gently plucked, causing the waves of grievances and resentment she felt alone to well up. At this moment, she no longer had any thoughts; her body was slowly leaning into his embrace.
Unconsciously, Su Jingyi nestled in Lu Xun's arms, her head resting on his shoulder. There was a hint of bewilderment in her expression, and her eyes were misted with a dreamy quality. Everything felt so natural, yet at the same time, somewhat unbelievable.
Lu Xun looked at Fairy Su in his arms, witnessing her emotionally overwhelmed state, and the charm that came rushing forth. He couldn't help but swallow hard.
